Ex. 2:3 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Ex. 2:2      Ex. 2:4

Exodus 2:3

When she could no longer hide him, she took a basket made of papyrus grass and coated it with bitumen and pitch [to make it waterproof]. Then she placed the child in the basket (ark) and set it among the reeds at the edge of the shore [of the Nile River].
[The same Hebrew phrase (tóv meód) that God used when he said "it is very good" after creating humankind in Gen. 1:31 is used here by Jochebed when she says that her child is "very beautiful." The word for "basket" (Hebr. teva) that Moses' mother prepares is also used in Gen. 6:14 about the ark that saved Noah and his family.]
