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 1:1-15.
