Exodus 2:1-9

1And there wentH3212 a manH376 of the houseH1004 of LeviH3878, and tookH3947 to wife a daughterH1323 of LeviH3878. 2And the womanH802 conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121: and when she sawH7200 him that he was a goodlyH2896 child, she hidH6845 him threeH7969 monthsH3391. 3And when she couldH3201 not longerH5750 hideH6845 him, she tookH3947 for him an arkH8392 of bulrushesH1573, and daubedH2560 it with tarH2564 and with pitchH2203, and putH7760 the childH3206 therein; and she laidH7760 it in the flagsH5488 by the river’sH2975 brinkH8193. 4And his sisterH269 stoodH3320 afar offH7350, to witH3045 what would be doneH6213 to him.

5And the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547 came downH3381 to washH7364 herself at the riverH2975; and her maidensH5291 walkedH1980 along by the river’sH2975 sideH3027; and when she sawH7200 the arkH8392 amongH8432 the flagsH5488, she sentH7971 her maidH519 to fetchH3947 it. 6And when she had openedH6605 it, she sawH7200 the childH3206: and, behold, the babeH5288 weptH1058. And she had compassionH2550 on him, and saidH559, This is one of the Hebrews’H5680 childrenH3206. 7Then saidH559 his sisterH269 to Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323, Shall I goH3212 and callH7121 to thee a nurseH3243 of the HebrewH5680 womenH802, that she may nurseH3243 the childH3206 for thee? 8And Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 saidH559 to her, GoH3212. And the maidH5959 wentH3212 and calledH7121 the child’sH3206 motherH517. 9And Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 saidH559 unto her, TakeH3212 this childH3206 awayH3212, and nurseH3243 it for me, and I will giveH5414 thee thy wagesH7939. And the womanH802 tookH3947 the childH3206, and nursedH5134 it.
