King James VersionSource notes
“And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.”
Context
6And when she had opened she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This of the Hebrews’ children.
7Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
8And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.
9And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
10And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
11And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
