1 There was a man from the family of Levi who decided to marry a woman from the tribe of Levi.
2 She became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy. The mother saw how beautiful the baby was and hid him for three months.
3 She hid him for as long as she could. After three months she made a basket and covered it with tar so that it would float. Then she put the baby in the basket and put the basket in the river in the tall grass.
4 The baby’s sister stayed and watched to see what would happen to the baby.
