7 Then said his sister to Pharoah's daughter, Shall I go call to thee a nurse from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee!?

8 And Pharoah's daughter said unto her, Go!. And the maid went and called the child's mother!.

9 And Pharoah'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!.
