Exo 2:3But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket[fn] for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.
Exo 2:5Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her female slave to get it.
Exo 2:10When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses,[fn] saying, “I drew him out of the water.”
Exo 2:11One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.
Exo 2:14The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.”
Exo 2:23During that long period, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God.
