Exodus 2:1-3

Good News Translation

The Birth of Moses

2 During this time a man from the tribe of Levi married a woman of his own tribe, ^2 (A)and she bore him a son. When she saw what a fine baby he was, she hid him for three months. ³ But when she could not hide him any longer, she took a basket made of reeds and covered it with tar to make it watertight. She put the baby in it and then placed it in the tall grass at the edge of the river.
