Exodus 2:3-10

2:3

longer able <03201 05750> [could not.]

basket <08392> [an ark.]

papyrus <01573> [bulrushes.]

{Gom‚,} is the papyrus, so famous in all antiquity. It grows on the banks of the Nile, and in marshy grounds; the stalk rises to the height of six or seven cubits above the water, is triangular, and terminates in a crown of small filaments, resembling hair. This reed was of the greatest use to the Egyptians; the pith serving them for food, and the woody part to build vessels with; which vessels frequently appear on various monuments of Egyptian antiquity. That boats were made of this reed is also attested by Pliny and others.

bitumen <02564> [with slime.]


2:4


2:5

daughter <01323> [daughter.]

Nile ......... river <02975> [herself.]

As the word herself is not in the original, Dr. A. Clarke is of opinion that it was for the purpose of washing, not her person, but her clothes, that Pharaoh's daughter came to the river; which was an employment not beneath even king's daughters in those primitive times.

saw <07200> [when she.]


2:6

compassion <02550> [she had compassion.]
