Êxodo 2:3

3 Não podendo, porém, escondê-lo por mais tempo, tomou um cesto de junco, calafetou-o com betume e piche e, pondo nele o menino, largou-o no carriçal à beira do rio.

3 And when she was no longer able to keep him secret, she made him a basket out of the stems of water-plants, pasting sticky earth over it to keep the water out; and placing the baby in it she put it among the plants by the edge of the Nile.
