Bible Question: The show "Mysteries of the Bible" was just on the History Channel talking about Moses. My question is, "How did Moses know that the Jewish people were his people; he was raised by Egyptians?" Thanks, Steve |
Bible Answer: God's day to you, spriceles2, and I add my welcome, The Bible does not say how Moses knew that the Hebrew (not Jewish at this point) people were his people, expect God did tell him (Exo 3:6). I am not sure of the soure of the movies, like The Ten Commandments, where he finds out in the palace. Pharaoh's daughter knew he was Hebrew. The Bible doesn't even say it was because of the swaddling cloth, as The Ten Commandments says. Some say could be the Egyptians of the time looked different than the Hebrew, but Jethro's daughter's thought he was Egyptian (Exo 2:19). His mother may have told him before she sent him back to the palace (Exo 2:7-10). "When Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brethren and looked on their hard labors; and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren" (Exo 2:11). But did he know at that time or was that the point he knew he was different? Searcher |
