According to the Book of Genesis, Moses was born in Egypt. However, there is good reason to believe that Moses never really existed, in which case he was not born anywhere.

It seems likely that she was born in Egypt.

The Bible says that 70 people entered Egypt and verses 6 and 7 (below) indicate that many years had elapsed between the end of Genesis and the events of Exodus. At the time Moses was born there were probably 2 or 3 million Israelites in Egypt.

Exo 1:5 All those who were descendants of Jacob were seventy persons (for Joseph was in Egypt already).

Exo 1:6 And Joseph died, all his brothers, and all that generation.

Exo 1:7 But the children of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly, multiplied and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.

According to tradition she was born just as the Israelites were entering Egypt (Rashi commentary, on Exodus 2:1 and Genesis 46:15). See also:
