1. And a man of the house of Lĕwi went and married a daughter of Lĕwi.
2. And the woman conceived and bore a son. And she saw that he was a lovely child, and she hid him three months.
3. And when she could hide him no longer, she took an ark of wicker for him, and coated it with tar and pitch, and put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the edge of the river.
4. And his sister stood at a distance, to know what would be done to him.
5. And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river, and her young women were walking by the river-side. And when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her female servant to get it,
6. and opened it and saw the child, and see, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the children of the Heḇrews.”
