Contextual Overview

5 And behold the daughter of Pharao came down to wash herself in the river: and her maids walked by the river’s brink. And when she saw the basket in the sedges she sent one of her maids for it: and when it was brought, 6 She opened it, and seeing within it an infant crying, having compassion on it, she said: This is one of the babes of the Hebrews. 7 And the child’s sister said to her: Shall I go, and call to thee a Hebrew woman, to nurse the babe? 8 She answered: Go. The maid went and called her mother. 9 And Pharao’s daughter said to her: Take this child, and nurse him for me: I will give thee thy wages. The woman took and nursed the child: and when he was grown up, she delivered him to Pharao’s daughter. 10 And she adopted him for a son, and called him Moses, saying: Because I took him out of the water.

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.
