4 The baby's sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him. 5 While Pharaoh's daughter came to the Nile to take a bath, her servants walked along the bank of the river. She saw the basket among the papyrus plants and sent her slave girl to get it. 6 Pharaoh's daughter opened the basket, looked at the baby, and saw it was a boy. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. She said, |This is one of the Hebrew children.| 7 Then the baby's sister asked Pharaoh's daughter, |Should I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?| 8 She answered, |Yes!| So the girl brought the baby's mother. 9 Pharaoh's daughter said to the woman, |Take this child, nurse him for me, and I will pay you.| She took the child and nursed him.
