1. And there went a man of the house of Levi, and married a daughter of Levi.
2. And the woman conceived, and bore a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly 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 slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
4. And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
5. And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river, and her maidens walked along by the river's side: and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
