1 It was around this time that a man from the tribe of Levi married a woman, also a Levite. 2 She became pregnant and had a son. She saw he was a lovely baby, and she hid him for three months. 3 But when she couldn’t hide him anymore, she got a papyrus basket and covered it with tar and pitch. Then she put her baby in the basket and placed it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. 4 His sister waited some distance away, keeping an eye on him.
7 His sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, "Would you like me to go and find one of the Hebrew women to nurse him for you?"
8 "Yes, go and do that," she replied. So the girl went and called the baby’s mother to come.
9 "Take this baby boy and nurse him for me," Pharaoh’s daughter told his mother. "I will pay you myself." So his mother took him home and nursed him.
