Exodus 2

 1After this there went a man of the house of Levi; and took a wife of his own kindred.

    2And she conceived, and bore a son; and seeing him a goodly child hid him three months.

    3And when she could hide him no longer, she took a basket made of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and pitch: and put the little babe therein, and laid him in the sedges by the river's brink,

    4His sister standing afar off, and taking notice what would be done.

    5And behold the daughter of Pharao came down to wash herself in the river: and her maids walked by the river's brink. And when she saw the basket in the sedges, she sent one of her maids for it: and when it was brought,

    6She opened it and seeing within it an infant crying, having compassion on it she said: This is one of the babes of the Hebrews.

    7And the child's sister said to her Shall I go and call to thee a Hebrew woman, to nurse the babe ?

    8She answered: Go. The maid went and called her mother.

    9And Pharao's daughter said to her. Take this child and nurse him for me: I will give thee thy wages. The woman took, and nursed the child: and when he was grown up, she delivered him to Pharao's daughter.
