Acts 7:23

But when he was well-nigh forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.

'WELL-NIGH FORTY YEARS OLD'- Exodus 2:11; Hebrews 11:24. We find the life of Moses divided up into three periods of 40 years each (Exodus 2:7; Deuteronomy 34:7). '

'IT CAME INTO HIS HEART'-Moses knew his true ancestry (Hebrews 11:24).

McGarvey notes, 'The most striking thing about his education was the power and influence of his mother (or parents-MD). Amidst all the wealth, sin, and culture of the court life and the learned of the day. Moses was held in the mighty power of religious training and love of devout parents...If parents were worried about the danger of public education--as well they may be--perhaps they should look to their own home teaching of their child first...' (p. 85)

'TO VISIT'-'in the sense of investigating their plight and seeking to remedy it.' (Stott p. 136).
