1 And there went an ish of the Bais Levi, and took to wife a bat Levi.
2 And the isha conceived, and bore a ben; and when she saw him that he was tov, she hid him three months.
3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him a tevah (ark) of papyrus, and daubed it with tar and with pitch, and put the yeled therein; and she set it in the reeds by the bank of the Nile.
4 And his achot stood afar off, to see what would be done to him.
5 And the Bat Pharaoh came down to bathe herself at the Nile; and her na'arot walked along by the Nile's bank; and when she saw the tevah (ark) among the reeds, she sent her amah (maid servant) to fetch it.
6 And when she had opened it, she saw the yeled; and, hinei, the na'ar was crying. And she had compassion on him, and said, This one is of the yaldei HaIvrim (Hebrew children).
