1 A man from the Levi tribe married a woman from the same tribe,
2 and she later had a baby boy. He was a beautiful child, and she kept him inside for three months.
3 But when she could no longer keep him hidden, she made a basket out of reeds and covered it with tar. She put him in the basket and placed it in the tall grass along the edge of the River Nile.
4 The baby's elder sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.
