The Birth of Moses

1 Now a ^dman from the house of Levi went and took as his wife a Levite woman. 2 The woman conceived and bore a son, and ^ewhen she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months. 3 When she could hide him no longer, she took for him a basket made of bulrushes ^{▼▼Hebrew papyrus reeds} and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and placed it among the ^greeds by the river bank. 4 And ^hhis sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him. 5 Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, while her young women walked beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her servant woman, and she took it.
