Exodus 2:1-9
1Now a manH376 from 1the houseH1004 of LeviH3878 wentH1980 and 2marriedH3947 a daughterH1323 of LeviH3878. 2The womanH802 conceivedH2029 and boreH3205 a sonH1121; and when she sawH7200 3that he was 45beautifulH2896, she hidH6845 him for threeH7969 monthsH3391. 3But when she couldH3201 hideH6845 him noH3808 longerH5750, she gotH3947 him a 67wickerH1573 8basketH8392 and coveredH2560 it over with tarH2564 and pitchH2203. Then she putH7760 the childH3206 into it and setH7760 it among the 9reedsH5488 by the bankH8193 of the NileH2975. 410His sisterH269 stoodH3320 at a distanceH7350 to 11findH3045 out whatH4100 would 12happenH6213 to him.
5The daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547 cameH3381 downH3381 13to batheH7364 at the NileH2975, with her maidensH5291 walkingH1980 alongsideH5921H3027 the NileH2975; and she sawH7200 the 14basketH8392 amongH8432 the reedsH5488 and sentH7971 her maidH519, and she broughtH3947 it to her. 6When she openedH6605 it, she 15sawH7200 the childH3206, and beholdH2009, the 16boyH5288 was cryingH1058. And she hadH2550 pityH2550 on him and saidH559, “ThisH2088 is oneH4480 of the Hebrews’H5680 childrenH3206.” 7Then his sisterH269 saidH559 to Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323, “Shall I goH1980 and callH7121 17a nurseH3243 for you from the HebrewH5680 womenH5680 that she may nurseH3243 the childH3206 for you?” 8Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 saidH559 to her, “GoH1980 ahead.” So the girlH5959 wentH1980 and calledH7121 the child’sH3206 motherH517. 9Then Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 saidH559 to her, “TakeH1980 thisH2088 childH3206 away and nurseH3243 him for me and I will giveH5414 you your wagesH7939.” So the womanH802 tookH3947 the childH3206 and nursedH5134 him.
