Exodus 2:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ The baby’s sister^[a] hid herself so that she could watch what would happen from a distance.

⁵ Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe while her attendants walked along the riverbank. They saw the basket among the reeds and sent a slave to fetch it. ⁶ They opened it and saw the baby. It was a small baby boy who was crying. They had compassion on it and said, “This is a Hebrew baby.”
