Acts 7:21 - Barnes' Notes

Acts 7:21

19 This man dealt treacherously with our people, and oppressed our forefathers, ^amaking them expose their babies, so that they might not live.

20 ^aAt this time Moses was born, and ^bwas well pleasing to God; and he was brought up in his father’s house for three months.

21 But ^awhen he was set out, ^bPharaoh’s daughter took him away and brought him up as her own son.

22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was ^amighty in words and deeds.

23 ^a“Now when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.

Was cast out - When he was exposed on the banks of the Nile, Exodus 2:3.

And nourished him - Adopted him, and treated him as her own son, Exodus 2:10. It is implied in this that he was educated by her. An adopted son in the family of Pharaoh would be favored with all the advantages which the land could furnish for an education.
