Exodus 2:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ But after three months she was not able to hide the baby any longer, so she got a ·basket [ark] made of ·reeds [papyrus] and covered it with ·tar so that it would float [bitumen and pitch]. She put the baby in the basket. Then she put the basket among the ·tall stalks of grass [^Lreeds] at the edge of the ·Nile River [^Lriver]. ⁴ The baby’s sister stood ·a short distance away [afar off] to see what would happen to him.

⁵ Then the daughter of ·the king of Egypt [^LPharaoh] came to the river to ·take a bath [wash], and her servant girls were walking beside the river. When she saw the ·basket [ark] in the ·tall grass [reeds] she sent her slave girl to get it.
