1 Aftir these thingis a man of the hows of Leuy yede out, and took a wijf of his kyn,2 which conseyuede, and childide a sone. And sche seiy hym wel farynge, and hidde him bi thre monethis.3 And whanne sche myyte not hele, thanne sche took a leep of segge, and bawmede it with tar and pitch, and puttide the yong child with ynne, and puttide hym forth in a place of spier of the brenke of the flood,4 the while his sistir stood afer, and bihelde the bifalling of the thing.5 Lo! forsothe the douytir of Farao cam doun to be waischun in the flood, and hir damysels walkiden bi the brenke of the flood. And whanne sche hadde seyn a leep in the place of spier, sche sente oon of hir seruauntessis,6 and sche openyde the leep brouyt to hir, and seiy a litil child wepynge ther ynne. And sche hadde mercy on the child, and seide, It is of the yonge children of Ebrews.7 To whom the sister of the child seide, Wolt thou that Y go, and clepe to thee an Ebrew womman, that may nurische the yong child?8 She answeride, Go thou. The damysel yede, and clepide the modir of the child.9 To whom the douytir of Farao spak, and seide, Take thou this child, and nurische to me; Y schal yyue to thee thi mede. The womman took, and nurischide the child, and bitook hym woxun to the douytir of Farao,10 whom sche purchaside in to the place of sone; and sche clepide his name Moises, and seide, For Y took hym fro the watir.
