Exodus 2:4-8

4The baby's sister stood not very far away. She wanted to see what would happen to the baby.

5Soon, Pharaoh's daughter came to wash herself in the river. Her servant girls were walking near the edge of the river. Pharaoh's daughter saw the basket among the river grasses. So she sent one of her servant girls to fetch it for her.

6When she opened the basket, she saw the baby boy. He was crying. She was sorry for him and she said, ‘This is one of the Israelite children.’

7Then the baby's sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, ‘Do you want me to fetch one of the Israelite mothers? She can take care of this baby and she can feed him for you.’

8Pharaoh's daughter said, ‘Yes, please do that.’ So the girl went and she fetched the baby's own mother.
