Exodus 2

Exodus 2 introduces Moses within Pharaoh’s death decree. His mother hides him, places him in an ark among the flags, and Pharaoh’s daughter adopts him while his own mother is providentially hired to nurse him. As an adult, Moses kills an Egyptian who is striking a Hebrew, discovers that the act is known, and flees to Midian. There he defends the daughters of the priest of Midian, marries Zipporah, and has a son. The chapter closes by shifting from Moses’ private exile back to Israel’s suffering: God hears their groaning, remembers his covenant, looks upon them, and has respect unto them.
