Exodus 2:1-4
21st Century King James Version
2 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took for a wife a daughter of Levi.
2 And the woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3 And when she could no longer hide 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 reeds by the river’s brink.
4 And his sister stood afar off to learn what would be done to him.
