Mal316:
Moses' sons: Gershom and Eliezer. Exodus 18:2-4 I don't know why Moses's sons are not listed. But, it appears that the answer to this question was something more ardently to be wished for than seriously to be expected. Why mention Moses at all? Again, idk. But, one answer I've heard that I like is that Moses is accounted as a father to Aaron's sons because Moses taught them Torah. How do we know that Moses taught Aaron's sons? And it is written: [color=#0000FF]"Speak to Aaron [b]and his sons[/b] and to all the Israelites and say to them: 'This is what the LORD has commanded....'"[/color] Lev 17:2. (emphasis added) And again, [color=#0000FF]"The LORD said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, [b]the sons of Aaron[/b], and say to them..."[/color] Lev 21:1 (emphasis added) And also: [color=#0000FF]"Speak to Aaron [b]and his sons[/b] and to all the Israelites and say to them..." [/color]Lev 22:18 (emphasis added) One who teaches Torah is as one who raises sons, as it is said, "and thou shalt teach them [i.e. God's words] diligently unto thy children." (Deut 6:7)
