Exodus 2:2

And the woman conceived, and bare a son ,.... Which was not her first child, nor indeed her first son, for she had both Aaron and Miriam before this: this son, which was Moses, was born, as the Jews say F20 Shatshalet Hakabala, fol. 5. 2. Tzemach David, par. 1. fol. 7. 1. , in the thirty seventh year after the death of Levi, A. M. 2365, (or, as others, 2368,) on a Wednesday, the seventh of the month Adar, in the third hour of the day: some say it was on the twenty fourth of Nisan; but, according to Bishop Usher F21 Annal. Vet. Test. p. 18. , he was born forty one years after the death of Levi, A. M. 2433, and in the year before Christ 1571:

and when she saw him that he was a goodly child ; exceeding fair and beautiful, as Stephen expresses it, Acts 7:20 , the Jews say F23 Pirke Eliezer, c. 48. fol. 57. 2. his form was like an angel of God, and Trogus F24 Justin e Trogo, l. 36. c. 2. , an Heathen writer, says his beautiful form recommended him: this engaged the affections of his parents to him, and who, from hence, might promise themselves that he would be a very eminent and useful person, could his life be preserved:

she hid him three months ; in her bedchamber, some Jewish writers say F25 Chronicon Mosis, fol. 3. 2. ; others F26 Pirke Eliezer, ut supra. (c.48. fol. 57.2) , in a house under ground, that is, in the cellar; however, it was in his father's house, Acts 7:20 .
