Pharaoh's Daughter
The Woman Who Saved Moses
Pharaoh's daughter found the little Moses in a basket among the reeds by the Nile. She took pity on the boy, adopted him as her own son, and named him Moses. Unknowingly, she allowed the child's own mother to nurse him.

Finding and Adopting Moses
Pharaoh's daughter found Moses in the reeds, had compassion on him, and raised him as her own son.
5Then Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe in the Nile while her attendants walked along the riverbank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her slave girl to fetch it.
וַתֵּ֤רֶד בַּת־פַּרְעֹה֙ לִרְחֹ֣ץ עַל־הַיְאֹ֔ר וְנַעֲרֹתֶ֥יהָ הֹלְכֹ֖ת עַל־יַ֣ד הַיְאֹ֑ר וַתֵּ֤רֶא אֶת־הַתֵּבָה֙ בְּת֣וֹךְ הַסּ֔וּף וַתִּשְׁלַ֥ח אֶת־אֲמָתָ֖הּ וַתִּקָּחֶֽהָ
6When she opened it, she saw the child—a baby boy, crying. She felt sorry for him and said, "This is one of the Hebrew children."
וַתִּפְתַּח֙ וַתִּרְאֵ֣הוּ אֶת־הַיֶּ֔לֶד וְהִנֵּה־נַ֖עַר בֹּכֶ֑ה וַתַּחְמֹ֣ל עָלָ֔יו וַתֹּ֕אמֶר מִיַּלְדֵ֥י הָֽעִבְרִ֖ים זֶֽה׃
10When the child had grown older, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, "Because I drew him out of the water." [Footnote: The name Moses sounds like the Hebrew word meaning "to draw out."]
וַיִגְדַּ֣ל הַיֶּ֗לֶד וַתְּבִאֵ֙הוּ֙ לְבַת־פַּרְעֹ֔ה וֽ͏ַיְהִי־לָ֖הּ לְבֵ֑ן וַתִּקְרָ֤א שְׁמוֹ֙ מֹשֶׁ֔ה וַתֹּ֕אמֶר כִּ֥י מִן־הַמַּ֖יִם מְשִׁיתִֽהוּ׃
