Exodus 2:3-10

3But when she could hide him no longer, she got him a 12wicker 3basket and covered it over with tar and pitch. Then she put the child into it and set it among the 4reeds by the bank of the Nile. 45His sister stood at a distance to 6find out what would 7happen to him.

5The daughter of Pharaoh came down 8to bathe at the Nile, with her maidens walking alongside the Nile; and she saw the 9basket among the reeds and sent her maid, and she brought it to her. 6When she opened it, she 10saw the child, and behold, the 11boy was crying. And she had pity on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.” 7Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call 12a nurse for you from the Hebrew women that she may nurse the child for you?” 8Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go ahead.” So the girl went and called the child’s mother. 9Then Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him. 10The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter and 13he became her son. And she named him 14Moses, and said, “Because I 15drew him out of the water.”
