5. And behold the daughter of Pharao came down to wash herself in the river: and her maids walked by the river's brink. And when she saw the basket in the sedges, she sent one of her maids for it: and when it was brought,
6. She opened it and seeing within it an infant crying, having compassion on it she said: This is one of the babes of the Hebrews.
7. And the child's sister said to her Shall I go and call to thee a Hebrew woman, to nurse the babe?
8. She answered: Go. The maid went and called her mother.
9. And Pharao's daughter said to her. Take this child and nurse him for me: I will give thee thy wages. The woman took, and nursed the child: and when he was grown up, she delivered him to Pharao's daughter.
10. And she adopted him for a son, and called him Moses, saying: Because I took him out of the water.
11. In those days after Moses was grown up, he went out to his brethren: and saw their affliction, and an Egyptian striking one of the Hebrews his brethren.
12. And when he had looked about this way and that way, and saw no one there, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
13. And going out the next day, he saw two Hebrews quarreling: and he said to him that did the wrong: Why strikest thou thy neighbour?
