Moses, son of Abraham and Jochebed, was born in the Land of Goshen, modern day Egypt. At the time due to the law that the Pharaoh had put in place all first-born children of the Israelites had to be drowned in the Nile River to prevent children from growing up and retaliating against the Pharaoh himself.
