And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2
And the womanconceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him threemonths.
3
And when she could not longerhide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river'sbrink.
4
And his sisterstood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
5
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidenswalked along by the river'sside; and when she saw the arkamong the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
6
And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babewept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews'children.

Then said his sister to Pharaoh'sdaughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrewwomen, that she may nurse the child for thee?
