Exodus 2:5-10

« Exodus 1Exodus 2Exodus 3 »

5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down ^ato bathe at the Nile, with her young women walking alongside the Nile; and she saw the ¹ark among the reeds and sent her maidservant, and she took it to her. 6 Then she opened it and ¹saw the child. And behold, the ²boy was crying. And she had pity on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.” 7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call ¹a nurse for you from the Hebrew women that she may nurse the child for you?” 8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” So the ¹girl went and called the child’s mother. 9 Then Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him. 10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and ^ahe became her son. And she named him ¹Moses and said, “Because I ²drew him out of the water.”
