5 Desceu a filha de Faraó para se banhar no rio, e as suas donzelas passeavam pela beira do rio; vendo ela o cesto no carriçal, enviou a sua criada e o tomou. 10 Sendo o menino já grande, ela o trouxe à filha de Faraó, da qual passou ele a ser filho. Esta lhe chamou Moisés e disse: Porque das águas o tirei.

5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river' side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.

10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh' daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
