Éxodo 2:4 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 2:4

And his sister stood afar off
This was Miriam, as the Targum of Jonathan expresses it; who is supposed to be about ten or twelve years of age, others say seven: she was placed F5, as the word may be rendered, by her parents, or, "she placed herself" F6, by their instruction, at some distance from the place where the ark was, that she might not be observed and be thought to belong to it, and yet so near as to observe what became of it, which was the intent of her standing there, as follows:

to wit what would be done to him;
to know, take notice, and observe, what should happen to it, if anyone took it up, and what they did with it, and where they carried it, for, "to wit" is an old English word, which signifies "to know", and is the sense of the Hebrew word to which it answers, see ( 2 Corinthians 8:1 ) .

Éxodo 2:4 In-Context

2 Y la mujer concibi贸 y dio a luz un hijo; y viendo que era hermoso, lo escondi贸 por tres meses.
3 Pero no pudiendo ocultarlo por m谩s tiempo, tom贸 una cestilla de juncos y la calafate贸 con asfalto y brea. Entonces puso al ni帽o en ella, y la coloc贸 entre los juncos a la orilla del Nilo.
4 Y la hermana del ni帽o se puso a lo lejos para ver qu茅 le suceder铆a.
5 Y la hija de Fara贸n baj贸 a ba帽arse al Nilo, y mientras sus doncellas se paseaban por la ribera del r铆o, vio la cestilla entre los juncos y mand贸 a una criada suya para que la trajera.
6 Al abrirla, vio al ni帽o, y he aqu铆, el ni帽o lloraba. Y le tuvo compasi贸n, y dijo: Este es uno de los ni帽os de los hebreos.
