1. And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2. And the woman conceived, and bore a son: and when she saw him that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.
3. And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with tar and with pitch, and put the child in it; and she laid it among the reeds by the river's bank.
