1 A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife. 2 The woman conceived and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months. 3 When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank. 4 His sister stood far off, to see what would be done to him.
7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, "Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?"
8 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, "Go."
The young woman went and called the child’s mother. 9 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, "Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages."
The woman took the child, and nursed him.
