Moses Is Born^(A)

2 And ^(B)a man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi. ² So the woman conceived and bore a son. And ^(C)when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months. ³ But when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of ^(D)bulrushes for him, daubed it with ^(E)asphalt and ^(F)pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds ^(G)by the river’s bank. ^4 (H)And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.

²⁰ Now ^(A)Amram took for himself ^(B)Jochebed, his father’s sister, as wife; and she bore him ^(C)Aaron and Moses. And the years of the life of Amram were one hundred and thirty-seven.

^20 (A)At this time Moses was born, and ^(B)was well pleasing to God; and he was brought up in his father’s house for three months.
