It happened that a baby boy was born to an Israelite family. His mother knew that she had to do something to save him.

She made a large basket out of the reeds that grew near the river. She sealed it with sticky tar so that it would float.

Then she put the baby in the basket and put it in the river near the bank. His sister, Miriam, stood at a distance and watched over the baby.
