1 Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman,
2 and the woman conceived and bore a son. Seeing what a fine child he was, she hid him for three months.
3 But when she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket, daubed it with bitumen and pitch, and putting the child in it, placed it among the reeds on the bank of the Nile.
4 His sister stationed herself at a distance to find out what would happen to him.
