Context
The Birth of the Deliverer
2:1 A man from the household of Levi married a woman who was a descendant of Levi .
2:2 The woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son . When she saw that he was a healthy child, she hid him for three months .
2:3 But when she was no longer able to hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him and sealed it with bitumen and pitch . She put the child in it and set it among the reeds along the edge of the Nile .
2:4 His sister stationed herself at a distance to find out what would happen to him.
2:5 Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself by the Nile , while her attendants were walking alongside the river , and she saw the basket among the reeds . She sent one of her attendants , took it,
2:6 opened it, and saw the child – a boy , crying !– and she felt compassion for him and said , “This is one of the Hebrews ’ children .”
2:7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter , “Shall I go and get a nursing woman for you from the Hebrews , so that she may nurse the child for you?”
2:8 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Yes, do so .” So the young girl went and got the child’s mother .
