출애굽기 2:10의 Chasidut
וַיִגְדַּ֣ל הַיֶּ֗לֶד וַתְּבִאֵ֙הוּ֙ לְבַת־פַּרְעֹ֔ה וַֽיְהִי־לָ֖הּ לְבֵ֑ן וַתִּקְרָ֤א שְׁמוֹ֙ מֹשֶׁ֔ה וַתֹּ֕אמֶר כִּ֥י מִן־הַמַּ֖יִם מְשִׁיתִֽהוּ׃
그 아이가 자라매 바로의 딸에게로 데려가니 그의 아들이 되니라 그가 그 이름을 모세라 하여 가로되 이는 내가 그를 물에서 건져내었음이라 하였더라
Kedushat Levi
Exodus 2:10, “She named him Moses, for I have pulled him from the water.” There is a rule that when we have a combination of light, water and fire, the creature whose soul (essence) consists of fire can elevate itself to the level of water, whereas the creature whose essence is water can elevate itself to the level of light. Seeing that Moses was essentially connected to water, having been “pulled from the water,” he can elevate itself to the level of light. This principle is alluded to in Exodus 34,29 ולא ידע משה כי קרן עור פניו, “Moses was unaware that the skin of his face radiated light.”
[This “rule,” I have found explained in an article on Parshat Miketz where Pharaoh is described as standing above the water, and the expressions יאור, נהר,אור are explained also by Onkelos as basically parts of one basic concept. When on different levels of spiritual significance, they are called by correspondingly different names. The interested reader will find a very enlightening article about this written in 2004 in Google under the heading פרשת מקץ. The question I had asked Google, was: אור, אש, ומים. Ed.]
