Shemot 2:9
*1. Source
וַתֹּ֧אמֶר לָ֣הּ בַּת־פַּרְעֹ֗ה הֵילִ֜יכִי אֶת־הַיֶּ֤לֶד הַזֶּה֙ וְהֵינִקִ֣הוּ לִ֔י וַאֲנִ֖י אֶתֵּ֣ן אֶת־שְׂכָרֵ֑ךְ וַתִּקַּ֧ח הָאִשָּׁ֛ה הַיֶּ֖לֶד וַתְּנִיקֵֽהוּ׃ And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child and nurse it for me, and I will pay your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed it.
2. Exaplanation
- Pharoahs daughter tells miriam "take the child and feed him for me". She accepts miriams offer(Shemot 2:7) in Shemot 2:8. She trusts miriam, even though this is the first time they met.
- Miriam took the child to yochebed(his mother) so that he could be nursed
- In return for taking the baby to his mother, miriam would be rewarded
- Her rebellion against her father reveals her strong character–she decided to care about the baby even though pharoah did not.
