According to Hebrew beliefs; Bithiah or in Modern Hebrew Bityah (בִּתְיָה, literally daughter of God) was an Egyptian princess, and a daughter of Pharaoh. The name of her father is not in The Bible, but Rabbinic Midrash makes her the daughter of one of the Pharaohs of the Exodus, (see Pharaoh of the Exodus). The Bible and Midrash assert that she was the foster mother of Moses, having drawn him from the Nile and bestowed upon him his name .

She was the wife of Me'red of the tribe of Juday, and the daughter of Pharoah.

She is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 4:17, 18:

17 The sons of Ez′rah were Je′ther, Me′red, E′pher, and Ja′lon; she conceived and bore Mir′i·am, Sham′mai, and Ish′bah the father of Esh·te·mo′a. 18 (And his Jewish wife gave birth to Je′red the father of Ge′dor, He′ber the father of So′co, and Je·ku′thi·el the father of Za·no′ah.) These were the sons of Bi·thi′ah, the daughter of Phar′aoh, whom Me′red married.
