Exodus 2:9 in Context — Exodus 2

7 Alors la sœur de l’enfant dit à la fille de Pharaon: Veux-tu que j’aille te chercher une nourrice parmi les femmes des Hébreux, pour allaiter cet enfant?

8 Va, lui répondit la fille de Pharaon. Et la jeune fille alla chercher la mère de l’enfant.

9 La fille de Pharaon lui dit: Emporte cet enfant, et allaite-le-moi; je te donnerai ton salaire. La femme prit l’enfant, et l’allaita.

10 Quand il eut grandi, elle l’amena à la fille de Pharaon, et il fut pour elle comme un fils. Elle lui donna le nom de Moïse, car, dit-elle, je l’ai retiré des eaux.

11 En ce temps-là, Moïse, devenu grand, se rendit vers ses frères, et fut témoin de leurs pénibles travaux. Il vit un Égyptien qui frappait un Hébreu d’entre ses frères.
