Verse 23
23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.
Ver. 23. Hid three months of his parents ] That they hid him no longer argued weakness of their faith, which yet is both commended and rewarded.
He was a proper child ] αστειον , fair to God, Acts 7:20 , having a divine beauty and comeliness. Special endowments are a foretoken of special employment. The very heathen in choosing their kings had a special eye to bodily beauty. See 1Sa 10:23 ; 1 Samuel 16:19 ; 1 Samuel 17:42 .
Not afraid of the king’s commandment ] Because unjust and impious. See Trapp on " Act 4:19 "
