‏ Exodus 2:3-10

3 When she could hide him no longer, she took for him a basket made of bulrushes ^{▼▼Hebrew papyrus reeds} and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and placed it among the ^breeds by the river bank. 4 And ^chis sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him. 5 Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, while her young women walked beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her servant woman, and she took it. 6 When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby was crying. She took 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 you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?” 8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” So the girl went and called the child’s mother. 9 And 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 When the child grew older, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became ^dher son. She named him Moses, “Because,” she said, “I ^edrew him out of the water.” ^{▼▼ Moses sounds like the Hebrew for draw out}
