Discuss Exodus 2 Page 2

Exodus 2:7 -10 ,

It don't name Pharaoh's daughter either. May I see her in heaven and thank her for caring for Moses.

1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. It never names these two. Father and Mother of Moses.

And his sister Miriam stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.

Some had two names. Simon Peter for one.

Verse 11 tells us that breather is used to represent your own people because the Egytian is not Moses breather. Also, the last verse tells us that God remembers the covenant he made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

To Giulo Figlio no typo, the Bible has no errors. Exodus 2:15-18 Now the priest of Midian...And when they came to Reuel their father, Reuel is Moses father-in-law and in Exodus 3:1 he is called "Jethro" the priest of Midian... Numbers 10:29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Reuel,"Jethro" the Medianite, Moses' father-in-law,... No typo's no errors!

10:29, I think Hobab is moses' brother-in-law, son of Reuel, the midianite. Big typo here. I checked the hebrew torah, exodus 2:18, and numbers 10:29, the name for Reuel in hebrew is spelled the same way. So here in 10:29 should say Reuel and not Raguel.

I've read that Jethro is a title meaning "most excellent". Reuel is his name. He was a priest.

Verse 9: Moses had a chance to learn about his history and where he came from because he was nursed by his mother.

Darrell, Exodus 2:16-18 "Priest of Median" is Reuel, he has 7 daughters, one is named Zipporah. V:21 Reuel gave Zipporah to Moses for his wife. Ex. 3:1 Reuel is called Jethro for the first time, it does not say why the name change. Ex. 18:2 Jethro, Moses father in law took his daughter Zipporah back when Moses returned her. In the next few verse we see Moses was in the wilderness.

Darrell; I'm sure there are some very smart old books where we can get a good and thorough answer to that question; I speculate that they were simply two names, like, 'John Smith,' or perhaps it was something in the languages? Good question! I like that Moses was still humble and respectful toward his father-in-law, and of his spirituality; receiving his guidance and wisdom in handling the people

Why is it that we find Moses father-in-law's name in verse 18 as Reuel but in the commentary it states Moses was married to the daughter of Jethro.

Exodus 2:25
“And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.”
2 Kings 13:23
“And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.”

Exodus 2:25
“And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.”
2 Kings 13:23
“And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.”

Some comments on the following pgs. for ch. 2 - say that Moses killed a Hebrew; Moses killed an Egyptian, not a Hebrew.

" Ex. 2: 5, when did it change from a basket made of reeds to a ark among the flags? Why are you changing what the KJV actually said?

This is actually the same thing the original King James says. flags is another word for reeds. Ark just means safe place to avoid extinction... similar to the ark of the covenant, and obviously Noah's Ark.

Ex. 2: 5, when did it change from a basket made of reeds to a ark among the flags? Why are you changing what the KJV actually said? How many other verses have you changed and no one noticed ? You should be a shame to change Gods word like that . You should at least put a foot note to show what the original KJV said . I am very disappointed and will have to check now or use another site

Purpose preserves life. Moses purpose was to lead the Israelites out of bondage (Egypt) therefore God preserved his life and prepared him for leadership in the courts of Phaorah.

God is so good - ALL the time. He kept Moses' family together. I love to see Him work!!!

Hebrew women were very wise women ! In spite of man position or title, God is All Power) Ps 23 ,he led the Hebrew women ! They trust in the Lord just as Daniel did with the lion, As King David with Saul , and many others in the Bible did) when u Keep yr mind on him Isa 26:3 , he will bring u Peace that passes All understanding , and this is what happen with Moses mother and Sister , Moses, Ps-91;3

god is great and he has show his greatness to the people of isreal and i thing and us the people of today god will make a wayto us

It was a blessing for Moses , his mother,and sister. To be rescued by the kings daughter.

It is a wonderful book which gives the account of the Hebrew people and how God has His own plan to deliver His people when they trust Him.

Moses parents were Amram (his father) and Jochebed (his mother).

God is faithful, He is a God of the impossible. All we need to do is have the trust in Him and have the same faith that Moses' mother had. The woman knew somewhere in her that the child won't survive in the water but she had faith that someone might rescue him not knowing that God was going to use the enemy to save her child and raise a great leader.

Parents will go over board to protect a special child. A mother's nature is to protect not destroy. When you feel surrounded by evil, look for ways to work against it. Be alert for the opportunities God gives you, and take full advantage of them. Focus on God, and trust him for the way out. That is all He needs to begin His work in you.

It's totally amazing how God makes way and blesses His people in the worst of conditions. praise God!

On Exodus 2:1 does not tell us who the names of Moses parents were. Who were they?

It is interesting to note that God had a special plan for Moses. He was raised in Royalty , being prepared to lead God's people. Despite his sin in killing the Hebrew man , he was forgiven by God and continue to lead his path. Notice in verse 17 Moses again shows leadership and compassion as he protected the Maidens from the abuse of the shepherds , only this time he did not take the life of anyone. The last three verses of the chapter now brings forward the task ahead for Moses to do . God now hears the cry of His people and is now ready to put His plan in action through Moses. We show realize that we serve a forgiving and compassionate God ,who is willing to forgive us when we fall short. If we fail Him we should then ask for forgiveness and repent, surrender our life to Him and allow Him to take control.
