10 When the child was old enough, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She said, “This is one of the Hebrew children.”ħ Then the baby’s sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Should I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?”Ĩ She answered, “Yes!” So the girl brought the baby’s mother.ĩ Pharaoh’s daughter said to the woman, “Take this child, nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. 6 Pharaoh’s daughter opened the basket, looked at the baby, and saw it was a boy. She saw the basket among the papyrus plants and sent her slave girl to get it. 4 The baby’s sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.ĥ While Pharaoh’s daughter came to the Nile to take a bath, her servants walked along the bank of the river. She put the baby in it and set it among the papyrus plants near the bank of the Nile River. 3 When she couldn’t hide him any longer, she took a basket made of papyrus plants and coated it with tar and pitch. She saw how beautiful he was and hid him for three months. 2 The woman became pregnant and had a son. 2 A man from Levi’s family married a Levite woman.
