On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

A recital of the names of the twelve patriarchs, as they are called, Acts vii. Their names are often repeated in scripture, that they may not sound uncouth to us, as other hard names, but that, by their occurring so frequently, they may become familiar to us; and to show how precious God's spiritual Israel are to him, and how much he delights in them.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

We may suppose it was made highly penal for any to know of the birth of a son to an Israelite, and not to give information to those who were appointed to throw him into the river.
