7:22 Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. Ex. 2:10 states that when the child Moses grew older the nurse (Moses’ mother) took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and “he became her son,” with the assumption that in the royal household he would be given a full Egyptian education. Two first-century scholars, the historian Josephus and Philo the philosopher, tell of the extensive learning of Moses.
