Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 7:20

20 In which time Moses was born, and was u exceeding fair, and nourished up in his fathers house three months:

Or fair to God; which tho some understand of the inward beauty of the mind, (which is indeed the most admirable) yet in this place there is no more to be understood by it, than the wonderful beauty of his Body, which God bestowed in an extraordinary measure upon him, that it might be a means to attract the care and pity of Pharaoh's Daughter, as it afterwards came to pass; besides, that which is eminent in any kind, is by an Hebraism said to be of God; upon this account Niniveh is called a City of God, Ionah 3.3. And we read of Rachels great wrestlings, or wrestlings of God, Gen. 3.8. Iosephus says, That Moses was so beautiful, that all who passed by, left their business they were about, to gaze at him. Antiq. 2.5.
