Exodus 2:2-6

2The womanH802 conceivedH2029 and boreH3205 a sonH1121; and when she sawH7200 1that he was 23beautifulH2896, she hidH6845 him for threeH7969 monthsH3391. 3But when she couldH3201 hideH6845 him noH3808 longerH5750, she gotH3947 him a 45wickerH1573 6basketH8392 and coveredH2560 it over with tarH2564 and pitchH2203. Then she putH7760 the childH3206 into it and setH7760 it among the 7reedsH5488 by the bankH8193 of the NileH2975. 48His sisterH269 stoodH3320 at a distanceH7350 to 9findH3045 out whatH4100 would 10happenH6213 to him.

5The daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547 cameH3381 downH3381 11to batheH7364 at the NileH2975, with her maidensH5291 walkingH1980 alongsideH5921H3027 the NileH2975; and she sawH7200 the 12basketH8392 amongH8432 the reedsH5488 and sentH7971 her maidH519, and she broughtH3947 it to her. 6When she openedH6605 it, she 13sawH7200 the childH3206, and beholdH2009, the 14boyH5288 was cryingH1058. And she hadH2550 pityH2550 on him and saidH559, “ThisH2088 is oneH4480 of the Hebrews’H5680 childrenH3206.”
