Feeling the threat of death for their newborn son, Moses' parents put their baby in a basket and floated him down the Nile. What was the basket constructed of?
Answer Papyrus
The basket was made of papyrus reed and covered with tar/sap to waterproof it. The word for "basket" is the same word used for "ark," as in Noah's ark. Both "arks" carried people who were instrumental in saving a line of humanity important to God.
