Acts 7:21

Daughter of PharaohPharaoh

19 He exploited our people and oppressed our fathers, forcing them to abandon their infants so they would die.

20 At that time Moses was born, and he was beautiful in the sight of God. For three months he was nurtured in his father’s house.

When he was set outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son.

22 So Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.

23 When Moses was forty years old, he decided to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
