Two Beginnings of Moses
In reading Exodus 2 I noticed that while the Hebrew words are different mashah (Ex.2:10); dalah (Ex.2:16,19), the meanings are the same. Therefore, Moses begins his life as an Egyptian when his adopted mother, the Pharaoh’s daughter, “drew him out of the water” (2:10). And Moses begins his life as an exile from Egypt when he “drew water” (2:19) for Reuel’s daughters; one of which became his wife.
