A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.
The woman conceived and bore a son.
When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.
When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch.
She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.
His sister stood far off, to see what would be done to him.
