Exodus 2:1-9
1Now a manH376 from 1the houseH1004 of LeviH3878 wentH1980 and 2marriedH3947 a daughterH1323 of LeviH3878. 2And the womanH802 conceivedH2029 and gaveH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121; and when she sawH7200 3that he was 45beautifulH2896, she hidH6845 him for threeH7969 monthsH3391. 3But when she couldH3201 noH3808 longerH5750 hideH6845 him, she gotH3947 him a 6papyrusH1573 7basketH8392 and coveredH2560 it with tarH2564 and pitchH2203. Then she putH7760 the childH3206 in it and setH7760 it among the 8reedsH5488 by the bankH8193 of the NileH2975. 49And his sisterH269 stoodH3320 at a distanceH7350 to 10findH3045 out whatH4100 would 11happenH6213 to him.
5Now the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547 cameH3381 downH3381 12to batheH7364 at the NileH2975, with her femaleH5291 attendantsH5291 walkingH1980 alongsideH5921H3027 the NileH2975; and she sawH7200 the 13basketH8392 amongH8432 the reedsH5488 and sentH7971 her slaveH519 womanH519, and she broughtH3947 it to her. 6When she openedH6605 it, she 14sawH7200 the childH3206, and beholdH2009, the boyH5288 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 a womanH802 for you who is nursingH3243 from the HebrewH5680 womenH5680, so 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.
