6. Pharaoh’s daughter opened the basket, looked at the baby, and saw it was a boy. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. She said, “This is one of the Hebrew children.”
7. Then the baby’s sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Should I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?”
8. She answered, “Yes!” So the girl brought the baby’s mother.
9. Pharaoh’s daughter said to the woman, “Take this child, nurse him for me, and I will pay you.”She took the child and nursed him.
10. When the child was old enough, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. Pharaoh’s daughter named him Moses [Pulled Out] and said, “I pulled him out of the water.”
11. In the course of time Moses grew up. Then he went to ⌊see⌋ his own people and watched them suffering under forced labor. He saw a Hebrew, one of his own people, being beaten by an Egyptian.
12. He looked all around, and when he didn’t see anyone, he beat the Egyptian to death and hid the body in the sand.
13. When Moses went there the next day, he saw two Hebrew men fighting. He asked the one who started the fight, “Why are you beating another Hebrew?”
14. The man asked, “Who made you our ruler and judge? Are you going to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought that everyone knew what he had done.
