Exodus 2:5-7

International Standard Version

Pharaoh’s Daughter Adopts Moses

⁵ Then Pharaoh’s daughter came down to the Nile River^[a] to bathe while her maids walked along the river bank. She saw the container among the reeds and sent a servant girl to get it. ⁶ When she opened it and saw the child, the little boy suddenly began crying. Filled with compassion for him, she exclaimed, “This is one of the Hebrew children!”

⁷ Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call one of the nursing Hebrew women so she can nurse the child for you?”
