²⁰ At which time Moses came to birth, and he was very beautiful; and he was kept for three months in his father's house:

²³ By faith Moses was kept secretly by his father and mother for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a fair child; and they had no fear of the king's orders.

² And she became with child and gave birth to a Son; and when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she kept him secretly for three months.

³ And when she was no longer able to keep him secret, she made him a basket out of the stems of water-plants, pasting sticky earth over it to keep the water out; and placing the baby in it she put it among the plants by the edge of the Nile.

⁴ And his sister took her place at a distance to see what would become of him.

⁵ Now Pharaoh's daughter came down to the Nile to take a bath, while her women were walking by the riverside; and she saw the basket among the river-plants, and sent her servant-girl to get it.

⁶ And opening it, she saw the child, and he was crying. And she had pity on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.

⁷ Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, May I go and get you one of the Hebrew women to give him the breast?

⁸ And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the girl went and got the child's mother.

⁹ And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take the child away and give it milk for me, and I will give you payment. And the woman took the child and gave it milk at her breast.

¹⁰ And when the child was older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son, and she gave him the name Moses, Because, she said, I took him out of the water.

¹² So he sent and made him come in. Now he had red hair and beautiful eyes and pleasing looks. And the Lord said, Come, put the oil on him, for this is he.
