MEDITATION
Exodus 2:1-4
1 And a man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi.
2 So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months.
3 But when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.
4 And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.

沉思
《出埃及记 2：1-4》
1有一个利未家的人娶了一个利未女子为妻。
2 那女人怀孕，生一个儿子，见他俊美，就藏了他三个月。
3 后来不能再藏，就取了一个蒲草箱，抹上石漆和石油，将孩子放在里头，把箱子搁在河边的芦荻中。4 孩子的姐姐远远站着，要知道他究竟怎么样。
