God's Sovereign Irony

Commentators like Calvin and Henry highlight the profound irony in this verse. The very household of Pharaoh, who decreed the death of Hebrew boys, becomes the instrument of salvation for Israel's future deliverer. God not only protected Moses but placed him in the center of enemy power, demonstrating His sovereign ability to work through any circumstance to fulfill His plan.
