Exodus 2:10

After what was likely a prolonged period of nursing the child, the mother brought her son to Pharaoh's daughter, who then adopted the boy. Acts 7:21

The name *Moses* is probably related to the Egyptian word meaning *"born "*.

Pharaoh's daughter explains the meaning of the name:

*" Because I drew him out of the water "*

In the Egyptian language *mose* means *'son of'* or *'born of'*, as we see in the names of pharaohs like Thutmose and Ahmose.

In Hebrew, Moses means *" He Who Draws Out"*. In this manner, Moses' name can refer to the living God, who is the true Deliverer, and also to Moses, who would deliver the Israelites from the Red Sea. Exodus 14,15.

The one who was drawn out of water would be the means of drawing the Israelite nation out of water. Yet he was one whose enemies wanted to drown him in the Nile.

Exodus 1:22

There is a touch of irony in that the oppressor's own daughter raises the one who will liberate the people humiliated and weakened by Pharaoh.
