Exodus 2:1-9

1

Now a manH376 of the houseH1004 of LeviH3878 marriedH3947 a LeviteH3878 womanH1323, 2and sheH802 conceivedH2029 and gave birth toH3205 a sonH1121. When she sawH7200 thatH3588 heH1931 was a beautifulH2896 child, she hid himH6845 for threeH7969 monthsH3391.

3But when she couldH3201 noH3808 longerH5750 hide himH6845, she gotH3947 him a papyrusH1573 basketH83921 and coated itH2560 with tarH2564 and pitchH2203. Then she placedH7760 the childH3206 in the basket and setH7760 it among the reedsH5488 alongH5921 the bankH8193 of the NileH2975. 4And his sisterH269 stoodH3320 at a distanceH7350 to seeH3045 whatH4100 would happenH6213 to him.

5Soon the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547 went downH3381 to batheH7364 inH5921 the NileH2975, and her attendantsH5291 were walkingH1980 alongH5921 the riverbankH3027H2975. And when she sawH7200 the basketH8392 amongH8432 the reedsH5488, she sentH7971 her maidservantH519 to retrieve itH3947. 6When she opened itH6605, she sawH7200 the childH3206, and beholdH2009, the little boyH5288 was cryingH1058. So she had compassionH2550 on himH5921 and saidH559, “This is one ofH2088 the HebrewH5680 childrenH3206.”

7Then his sisterH269 saidH559 toH413 Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323, “Shall I goH1980 and callH7121 one ofH4480 the HebrewH5680 womenH802 to nurseH3243 the childH3206 for you?”

8“Go aheadH1980,” Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 toldH559 her. And the girlH5959 wentH1980 and calledH7121 the boy’sH3206 motherH517.

9Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 saidH559 to her, “TakeH1980 thisH2088 childH3206 and nurse himH3243 for me, and IH589 will payH5414 your wagesH7939.” So the womanH802 tookH3947 the boyH3206 and nursed himH5134.
