2And the womanH802 conceivedH2029 and gaveH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121; and when she sawH7200 1that he was 23beautifulH2896, she hidH6845 him for threeH7969 monthsH3391. 3But when she couldH3201 noH3808 longerH5750 hideH6845 him, she gotH3947 him a 4papyrusH1573 5basketH8392 and coveredH2560 it with tarH2564 and pitchH2203. Then she putH7760 the childH3206 in it and setH7760 it among the 6reedsH5488 by the bankH8193 of the NileH2975. 47And his sisterH269 stoodH3320 at a distanceH7350 to 8findH3045 out whatH4100 would 9happenH6213 to him.

5Now the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547 cameH3381 downH3381 10to batheH7364 at the NileH2975, with her femaleH5291 attendantsH5291 walkingH1980 alongsideH5921H3027 the NileH2975; and she sawH7200 the 11basketH8392 amongH8432 the reedsH5488 and sentH7971 her slaveH519 womanH519, and she broughtH3947 it to her. 6When she openedH6605 it, she 12sawH7200 the childH3206, and beholdH2009, the boyH5288 was cryingH1058. And she hadH2550 pityH2550 on him and saidH559, “ThisH2088 is oneH4480 of the Hebrews’H5680 childrenH3206.”
