*
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river ;
and her maidens walked along by the river '
s side ;
and when she saw the ark among the flags ,
she sent her maid to fetch it .
*
And when she had opened it ,
she saw the child :
and ,
behold ,
the babe wept .
And she had compassion on him ,
and said ,
This is one of the Hebrews '
children .
*
Then said his sister to Pharaoh '
s daughter ,
Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women ,
that she may nurse the child for thee ?
*
And Pharaoh '
s daughter said to her ,
Go .
And the maid went and called the child '
s mother .
*
And Pharaoh '
s daughter said unto her ,
Take this child away ,
and nurse it for me ,
and I will give thee thy wages .
And the woman took the child ,
and nursed it .
*
And the child grew ,
and she brought him unto Pharaoh '
s daughter ,
and he became her son .
And she called his name Moses :
and she said ,
Because I drew him out of the water .
