Exodus

Exodus 2:10–11

10When the child had grown older, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Mosesb and explained, “I drew him out of the water.”

11One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to his own peoplec and observed their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.

Footnotes

  • b 2:10 Moses sounds like a Hebrew term that means to lift out.
