Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 2:10

He became her son - See the margin reference. His training and education was, humanly speaking, all but indispensable to the efficient accomplishment of his work as the predestined leader and instructor of his countrymen. Moses probably passed the early years of his life in Lower Egypt, where the princess resided. However, there may be substantial grounds for the tradition in Josephus that he was engaged in a campaign against the Ethiopians, thus showing himself, as Stephen says, “mighty in... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 2:11

Went out unto his brethren - At the end of 40 years. The Egyptian princess had not concealed from him the fact of his belonging to the oppressed race, nor is it likely that she had debarred him from contact with his foster-mother and her family, whether or not she became aware of the true relationship.An Egyptian - This man was probably one of the overseers of the workmen, natives under the chief superintendent Exodus 1:11. They were armed with long heavy scourges, made of a tough pliant wood... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 2:10

Exodus 2:10. And he became her son The tradition of the Jews is, that Pharaoh’s daughter had no child of her own, and that she was the only child of her father, so that when he was adopted for her son, he stood fair for the crown: however, it is certain he stood fair for the best preferments of the court in due time, and in the mean time had the advantage of the best education, with the help of which he became master of all the lawful learning of the Egyptians, Acts 7:22. Those whom God... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 2:11-12

Exodus 2:11-12. When Moses was grown, he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens As one that not only pitied them, but was resolved to venture with them and for them. He slew the Egyptian Probably it was one of the Egyptian task-masters, whom he found abusing his Hebrew slave. By special warrant from Heaven (which makes not a precedent in ordinary cases) Moses slew the Egyptian, and rescued his oppressed brother. The Jews’ tradition is, that he did not slay him with any... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 2:1-25

Preparation of Moses (2:1-25)Moses was the person God chose to save his people and lead them out of Egypt. He was born of godly Hebrew parents, who no doubt taught him that the true and living God was the only legitimate object of human worship, and this God had chosen Israel to be his people. At the same time Moses grew up in the Egyptian palace, where he was trained in the best learning and culture available at that time (2:1-10; see Acts 7:22; Hebrews 11:23).By the time he was forty years of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 2:10

"And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said, Because I drew him out of the water.""She called his name Moses ..." This was, of course, an Egyptian name. "They called water MO, and those who are rescued from water USES."[20] But also it was a word capable of being transliterated into Hebrew. The name is almost exactly the same in both Egyptian and in Hebrew.[21] The name in Egyptian meant "rescued from the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 2:11-15

"And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren. And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. And he went out the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews were striving together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? And he said, Who made... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 2:10

Exodus 2:10. And the child grew, &c.— It is uncertain at what age Moses was delivered by his parents to the princess. It is, however, reasonable to suppose that his parents had so well instructed him in their religion, and taken such care to let him know both what relation they bore to him, and what hopes they had conceived of his being designed by Heaven to be the deliverer of his nation, that he made no other use of his education, which the princess gave him, than to confirm himself more... read more
