In this dark time, 1:15 - 2:10, the only people God used were females:
-the 2 midwives risking their lives to save the Hebrew babies 1:15-21
-Moses' mother hiding Moses & putting him in the ark (father not mentioned)
-Moses' sister Miriam keeping watch over Moses (brother Aaron not mentioned)
-Pharoah's daughter having compassion on Moses
-Miriam getting Pharoah's daughter to hire Moses' mother to nurse him

-Steve Miller
