Read Exodus 1-2:3
1. What words, phrases, or concepts to you come across in this passage are familiar from our earlier study of Genesis? What is the author trying to communicate by reusing these words?
2. Exodus 2:2 leads to a puzzling question. The motivation for Moses’ mother hiding her son is that he was a “fine child” according to the ESV translation. In Hebrew the word is tov or good. Why does the author give this is the motivation? Was there something particularly special about this child, shouldn’t every mother think their child is good?
Hint: The answer to the first question leads to the answer to the second question.
