she conceived and she bore

A chumash question- ( this is not rhetorical - i'm looking for an answer) Every time some one gives birth in the chumash it always say "she conceived and than she bore " but with Moses and Zipporah when she gave birth to Gershon it only says she bore - it doesnt say she conceived. Chizkuni says the change in language is because when she was pregnant it wasn't recognizable because she carried small . I find it hard to understand why the Torah would alter it's normal language to teach me Zipporah carried small. When thinking about it , I began to question why the Torah would always say she "conceived " how else would she bear a child? . Thats my question . Why metion everytime that she "conceived " and why leave it out with Zipporah ? Do you feel my confusion?

  • because the torah new about the future of christianity and the torah wanted everyone to know that immaculate conceptions are rediculous, but now that i think about it this could be the basis for such an event if it always says she conceived first except by moshe the first savior, then maybe by christianity they figure on the same event happpening where there i no conception just a birth, which is why the chizkuni comes and explains what he does
