WOMEN IN THE BIBLE
TWO MIDWIVES,
MOSES’ MOTHER,
& PHARAOH’S DAUGHTER



EXODUS 1 & 2



TWO MIDWIVES FEAR GOD
MORE THAN PHARAOH

The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, “When you help the Hebrew women in childbirth and observe them on the delivery stool, if it is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.” The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live. Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?”

The midwives answered Pharaoh, “Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive.”

So God was kind to the midwives and the people increased and became even more numerous. And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.

Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: “Every boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live.”

BABY MOSES, SET ADRIFT

Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months. But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.

BABY MOSES, RESCUED!

Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the river bank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her slave girl to get it. She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said.

THE CONSPIRACY IS JOINED

Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?”

“Yes, go,” she answered. And the girl went and got the baby’s mother.

Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him.

When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, “I drew him out of the water.”

Good Morning Dan, and good Friday to each of you.

What a show! The princess could not imagine who Moses would become, as God prepared him.

As likewise each of us were drawn from a river of sin, to strive to understand God’s grace.

Thank You Dan.

Oooooooh, waxing poetic! Yea, O Brother Leon the Bard, thou hast striven mightily! Thou drivest home the inferential point with accuracy unerring.

The garland thus belongs to you. Hail Leon!

Moses had alot ahead of him.
Five Books to write.
A million or so Jews to bust out.
Forty years in the Wilderness.
A Face to Face with the Holy One of Israel
.
Moses got some cred

Nice summary and retrospective. A good listing, for example, of his qualifications for being pert of the gang on the Mount of Transfiguration.

My inner John the Baptist...
Which raises the Question;
Why did Jesus call John
‘The Greatest Born of Woman?’

Matthew 11:11:
Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
It's the same argument Jesus made to Nicodemus: You must be born again, from above, by the Spirit.
