Exodus 2:2-3

2The woman conceived and bore a son, and awhen she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months. 3When 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 creeds by the river bank.
