And when he was old enough, I brought him back to you myself.
We could see he was a beautiful child. So we hid him for three months. We weren’t afraid of the king’s order.
This part I only know because my family told me. My mother hid me for three months. Then she couldn’t any more. Papyrus basket, sealed with tar, set in the reeds by the Nile. The same river.
