Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her,.... Being come, having made all possible haste:

take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages; by which means she had not only the nursing of her own child, but was paid for it: according to a Jewish writer t, Pharaoh's daughter agreed with her for two pieces of silver a day.

t Dibre Hayamim; sive Chronicon Mosis, fol. 4. 1.
