UEksodusi 2:1-6

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.”
