Exodus 2:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ But, not being able to hide him any longer, she took a basket made of papyrus, caulked it with bitumen and pitch, and placed the baby in it and lay it among the reeds growing on the riverbank of the Nile. ⁴ The baby’s sister^[a] hid herself so that she could watch what would happen from a distance.

⁵ Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe while her attendants walked along the riverbank. They saw the basket among the reeds and sent a slave to fetch it.
