“And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.”
'When he had to be put out, Pharaoh's daughter took him and brought him up as her own son. Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action - Moses is raised in Pharaoh's household, educated 'in all the wisdom of the Egyptians' (paideutheē Mōysēs pāsē sophia Aigyptiōn), granting him cultural sophistication. Luke notes he was 'powerful in speech and action' (dynatos en logois kai ergois), the same language used of Jesus (Luke 24:19). Moses's Egyptian education does not compromise his identity but enriches his capacity.
