Exodus 2:5-10

5And the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547 wentH1980 downH3381 to batheH7364 in the riverH2975; and her maidsH5291 wentH1980 along by the river's side. And she sawH7200 the arkH8392 in the midstH8432 of the sedge, and sentH7971 her handmaid and fetched it.

6And she openedH6605 [it], and sawH7200 the childH3206, and behold, the boy weptH1058. And she had compassionH2550 on him, and saidH559, This is [oneH2088] of the Hebrews' childrenH3206.

7And his sisterH269 saidH559 to Pharaoh's daughterH1323, Shall I go and callH7121 thee a wet-nurse of the HebrewH5680 womenH802, that she may nurse the childH3206 for thee?

8And Pharaoh's daughterH1323 saidH559 to her, Go. And the damsel went and calledH7121 the child's motherH517.

9And Pharaoh's daughterH1323 saidH559 to her, TakeH3947 this childH3206 awayH3947 and nurse it for me, and I will giveH5414 [thee] thy wagesH7939. And the womanH802 tookH3947 the childH3206 and nursed it.

10And when the childH3206 was grownH1431, she broughtH935 him to Pharaoh's daughterH1323, and he becameH1961 her sonH1121. And she calledH7121 his nameH8034 MosesH4872, and saidH559, Because I drew him out of the waterH4325.
