Women take center stage in the first part of Moses' life story: Jochebed, Miriam, Bithiah, and Zipporah. Women received and preserved Israel's messiah in Egypt, Moses. This same pattern would play out again centuries later with Israel's ultimate Messiah and King, #yeshua.
A chiasm spans the story of Moses' birth and centers on Miriam witnessing the events. I suspect this means that Miriam is the original source of the material in #exodus 1:5-2:15.

All life is precious, but is some life more precious than others? Maybe it's best we leave that question up to the Creator. In the meantime, let's do our best to value the life we have from Him, and the lives He brings around us.

Question 130: Did Peter go to Rome?
Answer:
There is nothing in the book of Romans to indicate Peter's presence in Rome at any time, but that is merely negative evidence. If he ever visited Rome, it was probably during the last year of his life, although Eusebius in the Chronicon says he visited it in A. D. 42. Jerome also mentions Peter's visit to Rome. Catholic writers assert that he was there for a number of years. There is no evidence of the fact in the New Testament books. It is generally accepted however, that he was in Rome in his last year when he became a martyr as our Saviour predicted (John 21:18, 19). Dionysus of Corinth writes that Peter and Paul suffered martyrdom in Italy together. Irenams confirms his presence in Rome. Caius, Origen, Tertullian and others bear similar testimony.
Question 129: Did Paul Baptize?
Answer:
He answers this question himself (1 Corinthians 1:17). He implies that he had something better to do. Moshiach sent him not to baptize but to preach the Gospel. The value of baptism in the case of the Corinthian converts was that it was a public profession of their faith - it placed them on record. This result would be attained whoever administered the rite and therefore, Paul relegated the duty to some other believers. After he left, the Corinthians began to think there was some special significance about it and for this Paul reproves them.
Question 128: When did Paul go to Rome and how long did, he stay?
Answer:
According to the best available information, the shipwreck occurred in the year 56 A.D. and late in the autumn of that year Paul reached Rome as a prisoner. The length of his stay is uncertain. Acts 28:30 says two years and the author probably knew. It is probable that Paul was then set at liberty and made another preaching tour, going farther west than before. He was afterwards again seized and taken back to Rome. How long a time elapsed between his second arrival and his execution there no one knows.
Question 127: What was the date of Paul missionary journeys?
Answer:
Paul's introduction by the sacred historian (when he was a witness of Stephen's martyrdom), is supposed to have been about A. D. 36. At that time, he was probably between thirty and forty years of age. His conversion took place A.D. 37. He left Damascus A. D. 37. First missionary journey undertaken A. D. 44; his second, three years later and his third, four years after the second.
Frequently asked questions and answers:
Question 126: Was Paul ever married?
Answer:
There is no evidence in the New Testament to show that he was ever married and commentators have held that various passages in which he urges celibacy, show him to have remained single by choice. But this is only an inference. Others take the opposite view, pointing out that at the age of thirty, he was a member of the Sanhedrin (Acts 26:10) ; as such he "gave his vote" against the followers of Yeshua. Being the youngest of the judges, he was appointed "judicial witness" of the execution of Stephen. According to Maimonides, and the Jerusalem Gemara, it was required of all who were to be made members of that Council that they should be married and fathers of families, because such were supposed to be more inclined to merciful judgment. (See Life of St. Paul, by Conybeare and Howson, volume I, chapter 2.)
