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.  
24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended and avenged him who was oppressed, and struck down the Egyptian.
25 For he supposed that his brethren would have understood that God would deliver them by his hand, but they did not understand.
26 And the next day he appeared to two of them as they were fighting, and tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brethren; why do you wrong one another?’

Acts 7:22

Acts 7:22 Moses was learned. He was reared as "the son of Pharaoh's daughter" (Hebrews 11:24) and would be educated in all the accomplishments of his time. We know from the researches of the Egyptologists (see Rawlinson's "Egypt") that at the period of Moses there were great universities for the education of all who were expected to engage in public employments. Eber's "Uarda" gives a good picture of Egypt when Moses was a child.
