Acts 7:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ This king ·tricked [exploited; dealt treacherously with] our ·people [^Lrace] and was cruel to our ·ancestors [^Lfathers], forcing them to ·leave [^Lexpose; abandon] their babies outside to die [^Csuch abandonment was a common ancient method of population control]. ²⁰ At this time Moses was born, and he was ·very beautiful [beautiful before/to God; or of high status in God’s eyes]. For three months Moses was cared for in his father’s house. ²¹ When ·they put Moses outside [^Lhe was abandoned/exposed; ^Cwhen Moses’ mother “exposed” Moses to the elements, she was actually hiding him; Ex. 2:3–4], ·the king’s [^LPharaoh’s] daughter adopted him and raised him as if he were her own son.
