Here is an example from the Book of Acts.No, I don't find it at all curious that someone raised in an Egyptian pharaoh's household was educated in the wisdom of the Egyptians. It's not surprising at all.
Acts 7: 20-22
20. At this time Moses was born, and he was extremely beautiful. For three months he was nursed in his father’s house;
21. but when he was exposed, Pharaoh’s daughter adopted him and brought him up as her own son.s
22. Moses was educated [in] all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in his words and deeds.
