## Exodus 2:5-9 in Context (Verses 2–12 KJV)
 
 [2 ](/kjv/exodus/2/2) And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he *was a* goodly *child*, she hid him three months.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/exodus/2/3) And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid *it* in the flags by the river’s brink.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/exodus/2/4) And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/exodus/2/5) ¶ And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash *herself* at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/exodus/2/6) And when she had opened *it*, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This *is one* of the Hebrews’ children.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/exodus/2/7) Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
 
 [8 ](/kjv/exodus/2/8) And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/exodus/2/9) And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give *thee* thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/exodus/2/10) And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/exodus/2/11) ¶ And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/exodus/2/12) And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that *there was* no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
