Image description

In this Jewish story not found in the Bible, Pharaoh puts his crown on the infant Moses who throws it off. This was seen as a sign that one day Moses would overthrow Pharaoh so he had to be tested to see whether he was really dangerous. He had to choose between a dish of cherries (or gold) and one with glowing pieces of coal. Moses chose the coal and put a piece in his mouth, burning himself. To Pharaoh this proved the child's innocence. Companion piece to Judgement of Solomon
