Exodus 2:5-10
Legacy Standard Bible
5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down (A)to bathe at the Nile, with her young women walking alongside the Nile; and she saw the [a]ark among the reeds and sent her maidservant, and she took it to her. 6 Then she opened it and [b]saw the child. And behold, the [c]boy 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 [d]a 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 [e]girl 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 (B)he became her son. And she named him [f]Moses and said, “Because I [g]drew him out of the water.”
