John Gill Commentary Exodus 2:9

"And Pharaoh`s daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it." — Exodus 2:9 (ASV)

And Pharaoh's daughter said to her
Being come, having made all possible haste:

take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give you your
wages ;
by which means she had not only the nursing of her own child, but was paid for it: according to a Jewish writer ^F20 , Pharaoh's daughter agreed with her for two pieces of silver a day.
