Exodus 2:8
“Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” The young woman went and called the child’s mother.”
What does Exodus 2:8 mean?
Pharaoh's daughter, who has just discovered baby Moses hidden in the reeds, gives this simple instruction to Moses's sister Miriam. What makes this moment quietly powerful is that Miriam, a Hebrew slave child, has been bravely watching nearby, and now she has the chance to help. With just one word, Pharaoh's daughter unknowingly sets in motion the reunion of Moses with his own mother, who will be paid to care for him in Pharaoh's household. It's a reminder that sometimes the smallest actions and the quietest faithfulness can open doors we never expected, and that God often works through the courage of ordinary people in everyday moments.
