After Pharaoh’s command was given throughout Egypt, Jochebed the wife of Amram of the tribe of Levi gave birth to a son. Jochebed raised the child for three months while hiding him. As the child grew older, it was hard to hide him. So she put him in a papyrus basket coated it with tar and pitch. Then, she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. At that time, the princess of Pharaoh came to bathe and found the box. The princess knew that the child was a Hebrew, but she felt sorry for him and decided to keep the child. After seeing this, Moses’ sister Miriam recommended his mother Jochebed as his nanny to nurse the child to the princess. The princess paid Jochebed a wage and let her nurse the child. After taking the child to the palace and adopt him, the princess gave him the name ''Moses'' meaning, “I drew him out of the water.”<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Exodus+2%3A1-10&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3|title=Exodus 2:1–10| | After Pharaoh’s command was given throughout Egypt, Jochebed the wife of Amram of the tribe of Levi gave birth to a son.
