| Moses was born of the Levite tribe and they saw he was "good".[2] The word in the text first appears when God said that light was good in Genesis 1:4 And God saw the light, that [it was] good <02896>: and God divided the light from the darkness. |
| By decree they were to through him in the river and they did but put him in an "ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch," and it was the "daughter of Pharaoh" who had it pulled from the river. |
| Moses mother would finish nursing him and having a motherly influence over him but "she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses". |
| When he saw injustice he stood against it but used violence "he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand." |
| It is common to think Moses fled because he feared for his life. He was ashamed of what he did because he was becoming a tyrant. |
| Acts 7 gives more insight on this story. The administration of justice was one of the chief duties of the royal office; and Moses was seen as competition to that office and for their natural but illegitimate son. |
| Moses drives off usurpers .Then draws water for women like Rachel drew water for a stranger. |
| Moses married the daughter of a priest of Midian. |
| They cried out and God heard their cries. |
| Moses had to face the temptations that all leaders face. And the people would have to face their appetite for the dainties of rulers which are deceitful meats that make them merchandise. |
| We will see something about horns on Moses in Exodus 34 of the Douay-Rheims Bible translates the Vulgate as, " knew not that his face was horned", specifically verses 29, 30 and 35 |
| Those covetous practices of Legal charity will curse children and entangle you again in the Yoke of bondage when you all have one purse and are snared in the public religion of the unrighteous mammon as a surety for debt. |
| Abraham would not take a buckle from the king of Sodom. Jesus too with the pure Religion of the early Church was setting the captive free with their daily ministration of fervent charity. The Way of Jesus the Christ was the way of Moses, Abraham, John the Baptist, and all the prophets. |

The Birth of Moses
1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
Moses Flees to Midian
11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
Priest of Midian
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
20 And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave[3] Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
God Hears Israel's Groaning
23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
