She sent one of her attendants, ⁴  took it, ⁵  2:6 opened it, ⁶  and saw the child ⁷  – a boy, ⁸  crying! ⁹  – and she felt compassion ¹⁰  for him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”

2:7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get ¹¹  a nursing woman ¹²  for you from the Hebrews, so that she may nurse ¹³  the child for you?” 2:8 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Yes, do so.” ¹⁴  So the young girl ¹⁵  went and got ¹⁶  the child’s mother. ¹⁷  2:9 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child ¹⁸  and nurse him for me, and I will pay your ¹⁹  wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him.
