EX-2:1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took [to
wife] a
daughter of Levi.
EX-2:2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she
saw him that he
[was a] goodly [child], she hid him three months.
EX-2:3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him
an ark of
bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the
child therein;
and she laid [it] in the flags by the river's brink.
EX-2:4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done
to him.
EX-2:5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash [herself]
at the river;
and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she
saw the ark
among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
EX-2:6 And when she had opened [it], she saw the child: and,
behold, the babe
wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This [is one] of
the Hebrews'
children.
EX-2:7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go
and call to
thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child
for thee?
EX-2:8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid
went and called
the child's mother.
EX-2:9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child
away, and nurse
it for me, and I will give [thee] thy wages. And the woman took
the child, and
nursed it.
EX-2:10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's
daughter, and
he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said,
Because I drew
him out of the water.
EX-2:11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown,
that he went
out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied
an Egyptian
smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
EX-2:12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw
that [there was]
no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
EX-2:13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of
the Hebrews
strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong,
Wherefore smitest thou
thy fellow?
EX-2:14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over
us? intendest
thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared,
and said,
Surely this thing is known.
EX-2:15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay
Moses. But Moses
fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian:
and he sat
down by a well.
EX-2:16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they
came and drew
[water], and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
EX-2:17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses
stood up and
helped them, and watered their flock.
EX-2:18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How
[is it that]
ye are come so soon to day?
EX-2:19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand
of the
shepherds, and also drew [water] enough for us, and watered the
flock.
EX-2:20 And he said unto his daughters, And where [is] he? why
[is] it [that]
ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
EX-2:21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he
gave Moses
Zipporah his daughter.
EX-2:22 And she bare [him] a son, and he called his name
Gershom: for he
said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
EX-2:23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king
of Egypt died:
and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and
they cried,
and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
EX-2:24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his
covenant with
Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
EX-2:25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had
respect unto
[them].
