Moses’s Birth and Adoption

2 Now a man from the family of Levi married a Levite woman.^{(A) 2} The woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son; when she saw that he was beautiful,^[a] she hid him for three months.^{(B) 3} But when she could no longer hide him, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with bitumen and pitch. She placed the child in it and set it among the reeds by the bank of the Nile.
