Exodus 2:6-10
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.”
