Question
How did Moses’ mother “see that he was good” when he was born (Ex.2:2)?
Answer
Avos de-Rabbi Noson asks “What could his mother have seen in him to know that he was better than other men?”, and answers that he was born circumcised. The Talmud (Sotah 12a) says that when he was born, the house was filled with light; note that light is called “good” in Gen.1:4.
