Exodus 2:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And the woman conceived and bare a son: and when she saw that he was fair, (A)she hid him three months.
3 But when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark made of reed, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and [a]laid the child therein, and put it among the bulrushes by the river’s brink.
4 Now his sister stood afar off, to wit what would come of him.
