Exodus 2:6

She saw the child.

Rather; "She saw him, the child, and behold,. male infant weeping." The weeping child appealed to. sympathy, natural to the heart of. woman. She was. merciful daughter of. cruel father, and though she recognized him as one of the Hebrew children, doomed to death, she obeyed the dictates of her woman's heart, rather than the king's edict.... The voice of Egyptian edicts said, "It is. Hebrew, he must die." The mightier voice of nature--no, of God, spake within her, and said, "It is. human being--bone of your bone, and sharing the same life." That moment the princess of Egypt escaped from the trammels of time-distinctions and temporary narrowness, and stood upon the rock of the eternal. So long as the feeling lasted she breathed the spirit of that kingdom in which there is "neither Jew nor Gentile, barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free." So long as the feeling lasted, she breathed the atmosphere of Him who came not to be ministered unto but to minister.-- F. W. Robertson.
