Moses; Part 3: The First Time of Moses

A man of the tribe of Levi married a Levite woman, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months (Heb 11:23). But when she couldn't hide him any longer, she got him a papyrus basket and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she put the child in it and laid it among the reeds along the banks of the Nile. His sister Miriam stood at a distance to see what would happen to him. Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants walked  along the river bank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her female slave to get it. She opened it and saw the child. He cried and she felt sorry for him. She understood that this was one of the Hebrew children. Then his sister Miriam asked Pharaoh’s daughter if she would go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for her. She answered yes, and the girl went to fetch the child's real mother. Pharaoh’s daughter told her to take this child and nurse him for her, and she would pay her. So the woman took the child and nursed him. When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses. (Exo 2:1–10, Acts 7:20–22).

The genealogy from Abraham to Moses is (Exo 6:16, 18, 20, Num 26:58b–59):
Abraham -> Isaac -> Jacob -> Levi -> Kohath -> Amram -> Moses.
Moses had two older siblings: Aaron and Miriam.

One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and saw them at their labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. When he looked here and there and saw no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one who was wrong, why he hit his fellow Hebrew. The man then asked Moses, who had made him ruler and judge over them. And if he intended to kill him as he killed the Egyptian. Then Moses was afraid. When Pharaoh heard this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well. (Exo 2:11–15, Acts 7:23–29).

A priest of Midian (Reuel/Jethro/Hobab) had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s flock. Some shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and came to their rescue and watered their flock. When the girls returned to their father, he told them to invite him to get something to eat. Moses agreed to stay with the man, who gave his daughter
Zipporah to Moses in marriage. Zipporah gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom. During that long period, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cries for help because of their slavery went up to God. God heard their groaning and remembered his (put his attention on his)
Abrahamic covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. (Exo 2:16–25).

That Jethro was the priest in Midian means that there were worshipers of the true God who weren't properly part of Israel. Jethro was a descendant of Abraham:
Abraham with Keturah, his wife after Sarah's death -> Midian -> . . . -> Jethro.
(Gen 25:1–4, 1 Chron 1:32–33).

Moses was 40 years old when he fled Egypt, and he he stayed in Midian for 40 years. His ministry began at the age of 80 at a time when he was just living his life.
