2:10 When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses,[b] saying, “I drew him out of the water.”
just got rolling and hit 2 chapters in Exodus.
no huge takeaway, noted the importance of women in the story leading up to and including Moses birth. interesting too the fear of God the Egyptian women had, where did that come from?
I thought this verse was interesting, the connection to Moses and water near his birth knowing what is to come with him and the Red Sea
that is all.
knut
I also noted the switch in prose from talking about Israel and the his sons.....to talking about women. It's a COMPLETE switch. In fact, Moses' father is referred to very quickly and without any detail.
ReplyDelete2 Now a man of the tribe of Levi married a Levite woman
The only detail there is the tribe he was from.
The other thing that strikes me here is the author of the chapter. It is "mostly" accepted that Moses wrote the first 5 books of the bible, known as the torrah or pentateuch. So essentially, Moses is writing this story about himself! Funny and strange.
I'm not sure I could accurately describe a story about myself with embellishing things that made me look good, and down-playing other things that make me look bad or that are embarrassing.
This one makes me think......and say, "hhhmmmmmmmm."
tp
correction.....without embellishing
