What the Fathers say

Acts 7:18

Eastern Fathers

Theophylact of Ohrid

"The people grew and multiplied in Egypt." If regarding Joseph it is worthy of admiration that he was sold by his brothers and, having been sold, delivered them from famine, then even more admirable is the fact that the king raised the one who was destined to undermine his power (that is, Moses); the one who was supposed to be put to death by the person who condemned him to death — that one was being educated and raised for the overthrow of his educator.
