Quotes 

• Yochabel : God of Abraham, take my child into Thy hands that he may live to Thy service.

  [Little Miriam bowed her head and prayed silently, while Yochabel prayed verbally] 

  Little Miriam : But, mother, we have not even given him a name.

  Yochabel : God will give him a name.

  [after speaking, Yochabel then gently, slowly and carefully pushed the basket, towards the Egyptian palace and Nile River] 

  Yochabel : Follow it, Miriam. Watch it from the reeds. See where the Lord will lead him.

  Little Miriam : [With a quiet whisper, to keep from being overheard by any Egyptain, that may be around]  Yes, mother.

  [Little Miriam's final line, then she looks and watches her unnamed little brother arc, being discovered, by Bithiah]
