You've mucked up the punchline. It's 'His triumph was heard throughout the land', {can't remember book, chapter or verse unfortunately.}

The infant Moses' method was to copy King Sargon of Babylon. Not very original.
* * *
"The story of the infant Moses being set adrift in a basket bears remarkable similarities to an old Babylonian myth about a great King called Sargon who was discovered as a baby in a basket in a river."
"Between 600 and 300 BCE, Jewish scribes in Jerusalem set out to record all the old tales of their people, handed down from generation to generation. What if the scribes had wanted to add a bit of spice to their tales to make them more interesting? Could they have used the myth of Sargon and made up the tale of Moses? It's certainly possible as we know the Jews were captured by the Babylonians in 587 BCE and held in exile in Babylon (modern Iraq) for some time. They could have picked up the Sargon legend there."
"Egyptologist Jim Hoffmeier studied the original Hebrew text. He found that key words in the story - bulrushes, papyrus, Nile, riverbank - were all ancient Egyptian words, and not Babylonian."
"But what about the name 'Moses'? It is an Egyptian name meaning 'One who is born'. It uses the same root as 'Ramses'. It's hard to believe that a Hebrew scribe, one thousand years later, could have come up with a story using authentic Egyptian words."
"Well actually there are many stories of babies being put in baskets and exposed or put in water. This was an ancient way of putting a child out to the fate of the gods. Today people put babies in baskets and put them on church doorsteps."
- Jim Hoffmeier, Egyptologist

His own two feet or a camel. (If you must capitalise triumph, I think a Harley would have been more appropriate, and personally, I would have chosen a Norton).

So did the rest of the children of Israel as they went through the wilderness.

Jesus had to tie a rope to one of his hands like a little kid to make sure he didn't run away then Jesus had to drag him the whole way because he didn't want to walk because he was a lazy bas tard. Just kidding, he didn't exist, I almost got you there didn't I ;)
