UEksodusi 2:1-10

Kwasekuphuma umuntu wendlu kaLevi, wathatha indodakazi kaLevi. Owesifazane wakhulelwa, wazala indodana; lapho embona ukuthi ungumntwana omuhle, wamthukusa izinyanga ezintathu. Kwathi engasakwazi ukumfihla, wamthathela umphongolo wemizi, wawumboza ngodaka nangekolitayi, wamlalisa kuwo umntwana; wayibeka emhlangeni ngasosebeni lomfula. Udadewabo wema khatshana ukuze azi okuzakwenziwa kuye. Indodakazi kaFaro yehla ukuyogeza emfuleni; bheka, intombazane yayihamba eceleni komfula; lapho ebona umkhumbi phakathi kwezinhlaka, wathumela incekukazi yakhe ukuba iwulande. Eseyivula, wabona umntwana, bheka, umntwana wayekhala. Wamhawukela kakhulu, wathi: “Lo ungomunye wabantwana bamaHeberu.” Wayesethi udadewabo endodakazini kaFaro: “Ngihambe ngikubizele umzanyana phakathi kwabesifazane bamaHebheru ukuba akuncelisele umntwana na?” Indodakazi kaFaro yathi kuye: “Hamba!” Yahamba incekukazi yabiza unina womntwana. Indodakazi kaFaro yathi kuye: “Thatha lo mntwana omncane, ungincelisele yena, futhi ngizokunika umvuzo wakho.” Owesifazane wathatha umntwana, wamupha. Wakhula umntwana, wamyisa endodakazini kaFaro, waba yindodana yayo. Wambiza uMose, wathi: “Ngokuba ngamkhipha emanzini.”
