Pharoah&#8217;s daughter took in a Hebrew baby and raised him as a son. Her father, the Pharoah, was trying to kill the new-born Hebrew male children because the Hebrews were multiplying so quickly. I also gather that the Hebrews looked much different from the Egyptians?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Wouldn&#8217;t her father have objected to his daughter, raising one of his &#8220;enemies&#8221; under his own roof as her son? I&#8217;m wondering what kind of dialog went on between father and daughter? Did Pharoah finally relent and let her keep the baby just to appease her? Did Pharoah figure that keeping this one child alive could bring no harm?
