What did Moses' parents know by faith when they saw he was a proper child?
When Moses’ parents saw that he was a proper child, they knew by faith that God was still in their midst. Their faith recognized God’s continued presence and covenant purposes among His people, even in Egypt, as Moses and Aaron prepared to lead Israel out.
Les explains that Moses’ parents, seeing that he was a proper child, knew by faith that God was still in their midst. This fits the unit’s theme that some people, not all, had known by faith that these things would happen to God’s covenant people.

Even as Moses and Aaron prepared to move Israel out of Egypt, they knew they were going to Palestine, and they carried Joseph’s bones with them.

And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
