I-Eksodusi 2:1-10

Kwasuka indoda kwabendlu kaLevi yaganwa yindodakazi kaLevi. Wakhulelwa lowo wesifazane wazala indodana; kwathi lapho eyibona ukuthi yinhle, wayifihla izinyanga ezintathu. Kuthe lapho engasakwazi ukuyifihla wayithatha wayifaka ebhokisini elaliphicwe ngekhwani, lahuqwa ngebhithumeni nekoliyati, walibeka emhlangeni owawusosebeni lomfula. Udadewabo wema buqamama ukuze abone ukuthi kuzokwenzekani kuye. Kwase kwehla indodakazi kaFaro iyogeza emfuleni, abaphelezeli bayo bagudla osebeni lomfula; yayisibona ubhasikidi emhlangeni, yayisithumela umsizi wayo ukuyowulanda. Kwathi lapho iwuvula yabona; bheka, kwakungumfana; wayekhala. Yamhawukela, yayisithi: “Lona ngomunye wezingane zamaHebheru.” Udadewabo wathi endodakazini kaFaro: “Ngihambe yini ngiyokulandela umzanyana kwabesifazane bamaHebheru ukuba akuncelisele yona na?” Indodakazi kaFaro yathi kuye: “Hamba.” Intombazane yahamba yayobiza unina wengane. Indodakazi kaFaro yathi kuye: “Thatha lo mntwana uyongincelisela yena, ngizokukhokhela.” Owesifazane wamthatha umntwana wamncelisa. Umntwana wakhula, wayesemyisa endodakazini kaFaro, waba yindodana yayo; yamqamba ngokuthi nguMose, ngokuba yathi: “Ngamkhipha emanzini.”
