Exodus 2:6
She had compassion on him - The Egyptians regarded such tenderness as a condition of acceptance on the day of reckoning. In the presence of the Lord of truth each spirit had to answer, "I have not afflicted any man, I have not made any man weep, I have not withheld milk from the mouths of sucklings" (' Funeral Ritual' ). There was special ground for mentioning the feeling, since it led the princess to save and adopt the child in spite of her father' s commands.
