چه کسی موسی را از نقشةٌ فرعونیان باخبر کرد؟

این مرد به ظاهر همان کسی است که سپس به «موّمن آل فرعون» معروف شد. می‌گویند نامش «حزقیل» بود و از خویشاوندان نزدیک فرعون محسوب می‌شد و چنان با آنها رابطه داشت که در این‌گونه جلسات شرکت می‌کرد. او از وضع جنایات فرعون رنج می‌برد و در انتظار این بود که قیامی بر ضد او صورت گیرد و او به این قیام بپیوندد. او چشم امید به موسی دوخته بود و در چهرة او» سیمای یک مرد الهی انقلابی را مشاهده می‌کرد. به همین دلیل هنگامی که احساس کرد او در خطر است» خود را به موسی رساند و او را از چنگال خطر نجات داد. در سورة غافر خواهیم خواند که او نه تنها در این ماجراء بلکه در ماجراهای دیگر نیز تکیه‌گاهی برای موسی(ع) بود و دیدةٌ تیزبینی برای بنی‌اسرائیل در قصر فرعون محسوب می‌شد. > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- نمونه ج ۱۶ ص ۴۴ ۲ المیزان» ج ۶ ص ۲۱ ۳ نمونه ج ۱۶ ص ۵۱ > ۲ المیزان» ج ۰۶ ص ۲۱ > ۳ نمونهء ج ۱۶ ص ۵۱ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh, al-Mīzān.
