Exegesis
The clause kai en asteios tō theo {καὶ ἦν ἀστεῖος τῷ θεῷ | kaí ēn asteîos tō theō} uses the imperfect of eimi plus predicate adjective to describe an ongoing state, while the dative tō theo functions as a dative of reference, indicating that Moses was beautiful in God’s estimation.
In context — Acts 7:20
At that time Moses was born, and he was beautiful to God ; he was brought up for three months in his father's house .
