Exegesis
The relative pronoun hos {ὃς | hos} introduces a second relative clause hos anetraphē mēnas treis {ὃς ἀνετράφη μῆνας τρεῖς | hos anetráphē mênas treîs}, keeping Moses as the focus and summarizing his early nurturing with an aorist passive verb and an accusative of duration (‘three months’).
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 .
