Jasher 68 — The Birth of Moses, the Ark in the Nile, and the House of Pharaoh’s Daughter

Book of Jasher · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1And it was at that time the spirit of Elohim (God) was upon Miriam the daughter of Amram the sister of Aaron, and she went forth and prophesied about the house, saying, Behold a son will be born to us from my father and mother this time, and he will save Israel from the hands of Egypt.

2And when Amram heard the words of his daughter, he went and took his wife back to the house, after he had driven her away at the time when Pharaoh ordered every male child of the house of Jacob to be thrown into the water.

3So Amram took Jochebed his wife, three years after he had driven her away, and he came to her and she conceived.

4And at the end of seven months from her conception she brought forth a son, and the whole house was filled with great light as of the light of the sun and moon at the time of their shining.

5And when the woman saw the child that it was good and pleasing to the sight, she hid it for three months in an inner room.

That is the first paragraph of Jasher 68
