Moses’ father is a man of the house of Levi (Amram 暗蘭139歲); mother is a Levite woman (his father’s sister 姑姑 Jochebed 約基別). Moses’ brother (Aaron 亞倫) & sister (Miriam the prophetess 米利暗).

Q10.

a. Read Hebrews 11:1, 6, 23. How were Moses’ parents able to hide him?

By faith Moses’ parents were not afraid of the king’s edict and they hid Moses for three months.

b. (Challenge) Which promises of God might they have known and looked for God to keep?

In Genesis 12, God says to Abram “I will make you into a great nation.

In Genesis 15, God says to Abram “Look up at the heavens and count the starts-if indeed you can count them, so shall your offspring be.”

In Genesis 17, God says to Abram “I will confirm my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers.”

In Genesis 18, God says to Abraham “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.”

c. How did Moses’ mother’s actions blend faith and careful planning?

She hid him for three months until she could hide him no longer. She got a basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. And let Moses’ sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.

d. How did God bless her courageous faith?

God let Pharaoh’s daughter found Moses and let his own mother could have the chance to nurse her baby.

e. Tell of a time when you carefully planned but also trusted God with the outcome?

I believe in God's plan that a wedding and new job will happen in my life, so I have bought a new apartment prepared for those changes.
