Shemos - Redemption and the Mouth
Why does baby Moshe refuse to suckle from the milk of an Egyptian, and
only agrees to his own mother's Hebrew milk? Why mustn't the 'mouth that
speaks to God drink of impure milk?' What is the significance of
Pharaoh and his daughter 'kissing' baby Moshe? Why does Moshe pull off
Pharaoh's crown as he sits on his lap? Why does he then become 'heavy of
tongue' as a result of putting a hot coal into his mouth? What is the
significance of the mouth in all of these contexts? What is the concept
of redemption and what does it come to prove?
