Exodus 2:2-10
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.
2:9 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child and nurse him for me, and I will pay your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him.
2:10 When the child grew older she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, “Because I drew him from the water.”
