What does Exodus 2:7 mean?

Miriam, the sister of Moses, now speaks to Pharaoh's daughter. It is uncertain whether or not Moses' mother sent her for this purpose, because she was a young girl and therefore more easily received. However, God used Miriam to offer a unique situation for both Pharaoh's daughter and Moses' mother. Miriam asks if she can get a Hebrew woman to nurse the child. This practice must have been common in this time. Unlike today when bottle-feeding an infant is a common practice, women in ancient times sometimes employed the use of other women—"wet nurses"—to provide milk for newborn children.

This proposed solution provided an easy way for Pharaoh's daughter to say yes to Miriam's request and raise Moses as her own son. Unknown to Pharaoh's daughter, the nurse would also be Moses' mother. The end result would be the rescue of Moses, his mother nursing him in his young age, and adoption into the wealthiest family in the nation. God perfectly orchestrated events to uniquely prepare Moses for his future role.
