Both his name and the circumstances occurring right after he was born suggest that Moses must have been a prominent member of the Egyptian royal house. The Bible authors desperately try to provide a Hebrew background for him, but without success.

Even this episode was inserted into the narration to make Moses appear as an Israelite.
