    2The woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a healthy child, she hid him for three months.

    3But when she was no longer able to hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him and sealed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and set it among the reeds along the edge of the Nile.
