Exo 2:5 | MHM | STEP | Exodus 2:5-10: The Deliverance of Moses This passage tells how Moses was rescued from danger and raised in Pharaoh’s household. God’s providence is clear in every detail—Moses was found by Pharaoh’s daughter, cared for by his own mother, and given a place of honor in Egypt. Even though Pharaoh wanted to destroy the Hebrew boys, God used Pharaoh’s own family to save the one who would later deliver Israel. This story shows how God can use unexpected people and situations to fulfill His plans. vv. 5-6 : Pharaoh’s daughter came to the river to wash, and her servants walked along the riverbank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid to get it. When she opened it, she saw the baby crying and felt compassion for him, realizing he was a Hebrew child (vv. 5, 6 ). God moved her heart to pity the helpless baby. This shows that even people who seem like enemies can become helpers when God is at work (Ezek. 16:5,6; Ps. 22:9,10 ).
