"The daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, while her attendants walked beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid to bring it. When she opened it, she saw the child. He was crying, and she took pity on him. âThis must be one of the Hebrewsâ children,â she said. Then his sister said to Pharaohâs daughter, âShall I go and get you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?â Pharaohâs daughter said to her, âYes.â So the girl went and called the childâs mother."
