SCRIPTURE

"till there arose another king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph. The same dealt craftily with our race, and ill-treated our fathers, that they should cast out their babes to the end they might not live. At which season Moses was born, and was exceeding fair; and he was nourished three months in his father`s house." — Acts 7:18-20 (ASV)

In the darkest night of Israel's bondage in Egypt, her star of hope arose: Moses was born, and was exceeding fair; or, as the margin has it, was fair to God, with a beauty something more than human.
