1. And a man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi.
2. And the woman conceived, and bore a son. And she saw him that he was fair, and hid him three months.
3. And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of reeds, and plastered it with resin and with pitch, and put the child in it, and laid it in the sedge on the bank of the river.
4. And his sister stood afar off to see what would happen to him.
