He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. Ex. 2:6
Have you ever re-read something in the Bible that you thought you were very familiar with and suddnely noticed a line that you realize you'd never read before? I was reading Exodus - the part where Moses's mother puts him in the basket and Pharaoh's daughter finds him and I noticed the verse above. I guess it's not a really important verse and doesn't have a lot of deep meaning, but I sort of identified with this woman who's been dead for thousands of years, looking down at this pitiful 3 month old. It's things like this that make me think that times have not really changed - I mean, obviously technology has changed a lot of things, but what she felt was pretty timeless...at least I hope.
