2. Mosebok 2,5

Daughter of PharaohPharaoh

3 Da hun ikke kunne skjule ham lenger, tok hun en papyruskiste, smurte den med tjære og bek, la barnet i den, og satte den blant sivet ved Nilens bredd.

4 Hans søster sto på avstand for å se hva som ville skje med ham.

Faraos datter kom ned for å bade i Nilen, og hennes tjenestepiker gikk langs elvebredden. Hun så kisten blant sivet og sendte sin tjenestejente for å hente den.

6 Da hun åpnet den, så hun det gråtende barnet og fikk medfølelse med ham og sa: «Dette er et av hebreernes barn.»

7 Da sa hans søster til faraos datter: «Skal jeg gå og hente en hebraisk kvinne som ammer, for å amme barnet for deg?»
