6748. Verse 10. And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he was a son to her. And she called his name Moses, and said, Because I drew him out of the water.

'And the child grew' means that an increase was brought about by good. 'And she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter' means an affection for factual knowledge. 'And he was a son to her' means that then first truths were attached to that affection. 'And she called his name Moses' means the essential nature of the state then. 'And said, Because I drew him out of the water' means a deliverance from falsities.

A child is a young boy or girl in the care of parents, older than a suckling or an infant, but not yet an adolescent. "Children" are sometimes used as a name for a large group of descendants of one person, such as the Children of Israel, or even all human beings as the Children of Men. A child represents innocence and charity, where innocence is the willingness to be led, and charity is love. This is why Jesus blessed them and suggested that we all become like children in order to enter heaven.
