Exodus 2:4-8 ▼

4 And his sister [Miriam] stood some distance away to find out what would happen to him.

5 Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the Nile, and [she, together with] her maidens walked along the river’s bank; she saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid [to get it], and she brought it to her.

6 When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby was crying. And 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 a wet-nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?”

8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go ahead.” So the girl went and called the child’s mother.
