    2The woman conceived, and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.

    3When 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.

    4His sister stood far off, to see what would be done to him.

    5Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her handmaid to get it.
