Seeing the cradle, the daughter of Pharaoh sent one of her maidens to bring it to her. When she opened the cradle the little boy cried, and Pharaoh’s daughter felt very sorry for him. She said: “This is one of the Hebrew children.”
The boy’s sister came up and said:
“Shall I go and call a nurse of the Hebrew women; that she may nurse the child for thee?” And Pharaoh’s daughter said: “Go,” and the little maid went and called the boy’s mother. Pharaoh’s daughter said:
“Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages.” And the woman took the child and nursed it.
And the child grew, and after a while the mother brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son, and she called his name Moses, because she said: “I drew him out of the water.”
Moses grew to be a great and wise man. He learned all the laws of Egypt, and when he was old became the leader of the Hebrews when they left Egypt to go back to their home in Canaan.
