Exodus 2:1-4: The Birth of Moses

This passage tells how Moses, who would become Israel’s deliverer, was born into the tribe of Levi. His birth happened during a time of great danger for Hebrew boys in Egypt because of Pharaoh’s cruel orders. God’s timing is seen in Moses’ birth, just as the Israelites’ troubles were greatest. Moses’ parents showed faith and courage by trying to protect him, and their actions set the stage for God’s plan to save His people.

v. 1: Moses was born to parents from the tribe of Levi (v. 1 ^a). This is important because Levi’s tribe had been marked by Jacob for trouble (Gen. 49:5 ^b), yet God chose Moses from this tribe to do something great. This points forward to Jesus, who also came in humble circumstances.
