EX-1:1 Now these [are] the names of the children of Israel,
which came into
Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
EX-1:2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
EX-1:3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
EX-1:4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
EX-1:5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob
were seventy
souls: for Joseph was in Egypt [already].
EX-1:6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that
generation.
EX-1:7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased
abundantly,
and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was
filled with them.
EX-1:8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not
Joseph.
EX-1:9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the
children of
Israel [are] more and mightier than we:
EX-1:10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they
multiply, and it
come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join
also unto our
enemies, and fight against us, and [so] get them up out of the
land.
EX-1:11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict
them with
their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities,
Pithom and Raamses.
EX-1:12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they
multiplied and grew.
And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
EX-1:13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve
with rigour:
EX-1:14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in
mortar, and in
brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their
service, wherein
they made them serve, [was] with rigour.
EX-1:15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of
which the name
of the one [was] Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
EX-1:16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the
Hebrew women,
and see [them] upon the stools; if it [be] a son, then ye shall
kill him: but
if it [be] a daughter, then she shall live.
EX-1:17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of
Egypt
commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
EX-1:18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said
unto them,
Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children
alive?
EX-1:19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew
women [are]
not as the Egyptian women; for they [are] lively, and are
delivered ere the
midwives come in unto them.
EX-1:20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the
people
multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
EX-1:21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God,
that he made
them houses.
EX-1:22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son
that is born ye
shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save
alive.
