Exodus 2:3-6 ▼

3 When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus box for him and coated it with bitumen and with pitch. And she put the child in it and put it among the rushes by the bank of the river.

4 And his sister stood at a distance, to see what would be done to him.

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

6 She opened it, and saw the child, and look, the baby cried. And she had compassion on him, and said, |This is one of the Hebrews' children.|
