You know how moses killed the Egyptian for the way he was treating one of His kin?
It makes me wonder if He knew he, himself, too was a Hebrew, a Levite or if He would have responded that way with anyone on the receiving end of such repulsive oppression?
Exo 2:10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
Exo 2:11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
Moses knew he was a Hebrew when he slew the Egyptian, but the Bible tells of him being pulled out of the water as a baby, and became the son of the Pharaoh's daughter, but then the next verse he is a grown man, so it does not tell us what went on during that time, but somewhere down the line he knew he was a Hebrew.
I do not know who told him, or how he found out, but he knew he was a Hebrew when he slew the Egyptian, but he might of known his while life because they might not of hid it from him for he was Hebrew, and might not be acceptable to the Egyptians being a Hebrew, for how would the Pharaoh's daughter tell him who the father is if she tried to pass it as Egyptian.
So maybe the stories of Moses possibly being the Prince of Egypt, and a person of high stature in Egypt might be a myth, and maybe he was only a lowly Hebrew in the Egyptians eyes, and not one of great stature as they say, because it goes from him being a baby to a man in 2 verses, and nothing in between to know if he was great in the kingdom or not.
Exo 2:14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
Exo 2:15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
The way the Hebrew said who make you a prince and a judge over us might indicate that Moses was not the man we thought he was in Egypt, for the Hebrew did not look at Moses as being an important person in Egypt, for if he was important the Hebrew would of never talked that way to him, as they were apt to get disciplined for doing so if they went against an Egyptian, especially if Moses was one of great stature as they say, for then it would almost be like talking back to Pharaoh, and they would of not cared if he slew the Egyptian if they thought he was an Egyptian, especially if he was very important, and also Moses had to flee because of slaying an Egyptian so obviously the Pharaoh would not be pleased, and if he was someone important the Pharaoh might forgive him, especially if he considered him his son with all the privileges, and rights, that go along with it.
Moses was a baby, then the next verse he was an adult, then he slew the Egyptian, then he fled to Midian.
And nothing else at all for us to know about his growing up, so when they say Moses was a great man in Egypt with privileges,, and rights, of a Pharaoh's son could all be a myth, for the Bible does not tell us and they assume he would be great in the kingdom being the Pharaoh's daughter, although he would have it better than the other Hebrews, and not be a slave to hard labor, for the Pharaoh would give him some kind of privilege above the other Hebrews.
Gen 43:32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
Gen 46:34 That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
But I believe it is a myth, and Moses was not the great man in the kingdom of Egypt, and did not have the privileges, and rights, of a son of Pharaoh, although he probably had some responsibility, and he knew he was a Hebrew his whole life, but to the Egyptians he was considered lower to them.
But they assume he was great, but I do not believe he really was, but I do not want to burst their bubble, and make them redo their books and movies to portray it rightly, for that could be too much of a burden on them, and we know Hollywood, and books, like to exaggerate the truth and it would not make for a good movie or book with lowly Moses in Egypt, lol.
