Bible Note: Greetings Mark, Please see Exodus 1:22-2:10.. Ex 1:22 - Pharaoh commanded his people to kill every male Hebrew child Ex 2:5 - Pharaoh's daughter was bathing at the Nile and saw a basket Ex 2:6 - Pharaoh's daughter recognized the child as a Hebrew boy Ex 2:6,9 - Pharoah's daughter took pity on the child and even paid for his nursing Ex 2:10 - The child grew up and became the son of Pharaoh's daughter Mark, please tell me how there is not lying and deception in these verses on the part of Pharaoh's daughter in regards to her father's wishes?? --Makarios |
