Exodus 2:3–10

³But she could not hide him any longer. So she took for him ¹an ^aark of papyrus reeds and covered it over with tar and pitch. Then she put the child into it and put it among the ^breeds by the bank of the Nile.

^4aAnd his sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him.

⁵And 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.

⁶Then 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.”

⁷Then 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?”

⁸And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” So the ¹girl went and called the child’s mother.

⁹Then 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.

¹⁰And 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.”
