Let me illustrate what I mean. You remember the story of Moses in the early chapters of Exodus, the second book of the Bible. Long story short, Moses was born to Hebrew slaves in Egypt. Since Pharaoh had ordered the killing of all Hebrew babies, Moses' mother hid little Moses among the reeds on the river bank. Pharaoh's daughter found him and raised him as her own.
