5. Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe in the river, while her women servants walked along beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds, and she sent one of her servants to bring it to her.
6. When she opened it, she saw the child. The boy was crying, and she felt sorry for him. She said, "This must be one of the Hebrews’ children."
7. Then the baby’s sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, "Would you like me to go and find one of the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?"
8. Pharaoh’s daughter agreed, "Yes, do that." So the girl went and called the child’s mother.
9. Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, "Take this child and nurse it for me, and I’ll pay you for your work." So the woman took the child and nursed it.
10. After the child had grown up, she brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him as her son. She named him Moses, "because," she said, "I pulled him out of the water."
11. One day after Moses had become an adult, he went out among his people and he saw their forced labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.
12. He looked around to make sure no one else was there. Then he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
13. When Moses went out the next day, he saw two Hebrew men fighting with each other. Moses said to the one who had started the fight, "Why are you abusing your fellow Hebrew?"
14. He replied, "Who made you a boss or judge over us? Are you planning to kill me like you killed the Egyptian?"Then Moses was afraid when he realized: They obviously know what I did.
