He was adopted and brought up by Pharaoh's daughter, so of course he was educated, probably highly educated for a man of his day. The Bible states the following: "When the child was old enough, she (his mother) brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became as her son. Pharaoh's daughter named him Moses [Pulled Out] and said, 'I pulled him out of the water.' " (Exodus 2:10)

Although his official transcript has not survived the millenia, we can be sure that

Moses received a very eclectic and diverse education. We only have to consider

the broad outline of his life before the Exodus:

-- Earliest years at the lap of his court-appointed nurse, who just happened to be

his own Israelite mother.

-- From young adulthood until the age of 40, in the court and palace of the Pharaoh,

the adopted son of the Pharaoh's daughter.

-- Between ages 40 to 80, married to the daughter of the Chief Priest of Midian, living

and working in the Priest's house.

We would have to acknowledge that even with just average intelligence, Moses

would have learned a thing or two through these experiences.

Tradition states that Moses' adoptive mother, who was Pharaoh's daughter, was sympathetic to the Israelites. Together, the two learned the details of Judaism, just as Moses had done in his mother's house, where he lived as a toddler. His father-in-law, Jethro, also came to recognize God (Exodus ch.18).
