Exodus 2:4-8 ▼

6 opened it, and saw him, the child—and there he was, a little boy, crying. She felt sorry for him and said, “This is one of the Hebrew boys.”

7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Should I go and call a Hebrew woman who is nursing to nurse the boy for you? ”

8 “Go,” Pharaoh’s daughter told her. So the girl went and called the boy’s mother.
