And she had compassion on it, and sayde: it is one of the Hebrues chyldren. 7 Then sayde his sister to Pharaos daughter: shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrues women, to nurse thee the chylde? 8 Pharaos daughter aunswered her: go. And the mayde ranne and called the chyldes mother. 9 To whom Pharaos daughter sayde: Take this chylde away, and nurse it for me, and I wyll rewarde thee. And the woman toke the chylde, & nursed it vp. Exodus 2:4-9, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
