"Haylichi es HaYeled Hazeh" Exodus 2:9 "(And the daughter of Paroh said to Yocheved) take this child . . . "

The Medrash states that when Moshe, the infant, was brought to the house of Paroh, everyone was mesmerized by him, staring at him and unable to remove themselves from him because he was so beautiful. Even Paroh hugged and kissed baby Moshe constantly. It is known that the charm to keep the evil eye in check is the letter "hey." Therefore the Torah says "Hey lechee", meaning go with the letter "hey" to ward off the evil eye of the Egyptians and its jealous mothers. Or Moshe merited wisdom which is indicated by this letter, meaning that he should go to wisdom.
