Moses Knew Something of His Heritage


In these verses, it's made very clear that Moses knew at least something of his heritage as a Hebrew. Early in Moses' story, he kills an Egyptian for treating a fellow Hebrew harshly. Then in Exodus 3 we see Moses at the burning bush. He doesn't seem to be freaked out that the God of the Hebrews is talking to him despite being a man who was raised as an Egyptian. He must know something of his true heritage; that he was not born as an Egyptian. In Exodus 7:2, we see this further confirmed as God refers to Moses and Aaron as brothers. If Moses knew that Aaron was his brother, then he obviously knew that he was an Israelite.
