8. Pharaoh’s daughter answered her, “Go.” So the young woman went and called the child’s own mother.
9. Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child and nurse him for me, and I will pay your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him.
10. When the child grew, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses; for she said, “I drew him out of the water.”
11. On one occasion, after Moses had grown up, when he had gone out to his kinsmen and witnessed their forced labor, he saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his own kinsmen.
12. Looking about and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
13. The next day he went out again, and now two Hebrews were fighting! So he asked the culprit, “Why are you striking your companion?”
