    15The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah,

    16“When you assist the Hebrew women in childbirth, observe at the delivery: If it is a son, kill him, but if it is a daughter, she may live.”

    17But the midwives feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them; they let the boys live.

    18Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and said to them,“Why have you done this and let the boys live?”

    19The midwives said to Pharaoh,“Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women– for the Hebrew women are vigorous; they give birth before the midwife gets to them!”

    20So God treated the midwives well, and the people multiplied and became very strong.

    21And because the midwives feared God, he made households for them.

    2The woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a healthy child, she hid him for three months.

    3But when she was no longer able to hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him and sealed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and set it among the reeds along the edge of the Nile.

    4His sister stationed herself at a distance to find out what would happen to him.

    5Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself by the Nile, while her attendants were walking alongside the river, and she saw the basket among the reeds. She sent one of her attendants, took it,

    6opened it, and saw the child– a boy, crying!– and she felt compassion for him and said,“This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”

    7Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter,“Shall I go and get a nursing woman for you from the Hebrews, so that she may nurse the child for you?”

    8Pharaoh’s daughter said to her,“Yes, do so.” So the young girl went and got the child’s mother.

    9Pharaoh’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.

    10When the child grew older she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying,“Because I drew him from the water.”
