Exodus 1
1. Now these <0428 >el-leh > [are] the names <8034 shem > of the
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, which came <0935
bow> > into Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >; every man <0376 >iysh > and
his
household <1004 bayith > came <0935 bow> > with Jacob <3290
Ya<aqob
>.
2 Reuben <7205 R@>uwben >, Simeon <8095 Shim<own >, Levi <3878
Leviy >, and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >,
3 Issachar <3485 Yissaskar >, Zebulun <2074 Z@buwluwn >, and
Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >,
4 Dan <1835 Dan >, and Naphtali <5321 Naphtaliy >, Gad <1410
Gad >,
and Asher <0836 >Asher >.
5 And all <3605 kol > the souls <5315 nephesh > that came <3318
yatsa> > out of the loins <3409 yarek > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >
were seventy <7657 shib<iym. > souls <5315 nephesh >: for Joseph
<3130 Yowceph > was in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > [already].
6 And Joseph <3130 Yowceph > died <4191 muwth >, and all <3605
kol
> his brethren <0251 >ach >, and all <3605 kol > that generation
<1755 dowr >.
7 And the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > were
fruitful <6509 parah >, and increased <8317 sharats > abundantly
<8317 sharats >, and multiplied <7235 rabah >, and waxed
exceeding
<3966 m@<od > mighty <6105 <atsam >; and the land <0776 >erets >
was
filled <4390 male> > with them.
8. Now there arose <6965 quwm > up a new <2319 chadash > king
<4428
melek > over <5921 <al > Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, which <0834
>aher
> knew <3045 yada< > not Joseph <3130 Yowceph >.
9 And he said <0559 >amar > unto his people <5971 <am >, Behold
<2009 hinneh >, the people <5971 <am > of the children <1121 ben
>
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > [are] more <7227 rab > and mightier
<6099
<atsuwm > than we:
10 Come <3051 yahab > on, let us deal wisely <2449 chakam > with
them; lest <6435 pen > they multiply <7235 rabah >, and it come
<1961 hayah > to pass, that, when <3588 kiy > there falleth <7122
qara> > out any war <4421 milchamah >, they join <3254 yacaph >
also
<1571 gam > unto our enemies <8130 sane> >, and fight <3898
lacham >
against us, and [so] get <5927 <alah > them up out of the land
<0776
>erets >.
11 Therefore they did set <7760 suwm > over <5921 <al > them
taskmasters to afflict <6031 <anah > them with their burdens
<5450
c@balah >. And they built <1129 banah > for Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh
>
treasure <4543 mick@nah > cities <5892 <iyr >, Pithom <6619
Pithom >
and Raamses <7486 Ra<m@cec >.
12 But the more <3651 ken > they afflicted <6031 <anah > them,
the
more <3651 ken > they multiplied <7235 rabah > and grew <6555
parats
>. And they were grieved <6973 quwts > because <6440 paniym > of
the
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
13 And the Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim > made the children <1121
ben
> of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to serve <5647 <abad > with rigour
<6531 perek >:
14 And they made their lives <2416 chay > bitter <4843 marar >
with
hard <7186 qasheh > bondage <5656 <abodah >, in morter <2563
chomer
>, and in brick <3843 l@benah >, and in all <3605 kol > manner of
service <5656 <abodah > in the field <7704 sadeh >: all <3605
kol >
their service <5656 <abodah >, wherein <0834 >aher > they made
them
serve <5647 <abad >, [was] with rigour <6531 perek >.
15. And the king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > spake
<0559 >amar > to the Hebrew <5680 <Ibriy > midwives <3205 yalad
>,
of which <0834 >aher > the name <8034 shem > of the one <0259
>echad
> [was] Shiphrah <8236 Shiphrah >, and the name <8034 shem > of
the
other <8145 sheniy > Puah <6326 Puw<ah >:
16 And he said <0559 >amar >, When ye do the office of a midwife
<3205 yalad > to the Hebrew <5680 <Ibriy > women, and see <7200
ra>ah > [them] upon the stools <70>; if it [be] a son <1121 ben
>,
then ye shall kill <4191 muwth > him: but if it [be] a daughter
<1323 bath >, then she shall live <2425 chayay >.
17 But the midwives <3205 yalad > feared <3372 yare> > God <0430
>elohiym >, and did <6213 <asah > not as the king <4428 melek >
of
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > commanded <1696 dabar > them, but saved
<2421 chayah > the men children <3206 yeled > alive <2421 chayah
>.
18 And the king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > called
<7121 qara> > for the midwives <3205 yalad >, and said <0559
>amar >
unto them, Why <4069 madduwa< > have ye done <6213 <asah > this
<2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >, and have saved <2421 chayah >
the
men children <3206 yeled > alive <2421 chayah >?
19 And the midwives <3205 yalad > said <0559 >amar > unto
Pharaoh
<6547 Par<oh >, Because <3588 kiy > the Hebrew <5680 <Ibriy >
women
<0802 >ishshah > [are] not as the Egyptian <4713 Mitsriy > women
<0802 >ishshah >; for they [are] lively <2422 chayeh >, and are
delivered <3205 yalad > ere <2962 terem > the midwives <3205
yalad >
come <0935 bow> > in unto them.
20 Therefore God <0430 >elohiym > dealt well <3190 yatab > with
the
midwives <3205 yalad >: and the people <5971 <am > multiplied
<7235
rabah >, and waxed very <3966 m@<od > mighty <6105 <atsam >.
21 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, because <3588 kiy > the
midwives <3205 yalad > feared <3372 yare> > God <0430 >elohiym >,
that he made <6213 <asah > them houses <1004 bayith >.
22 And Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > charged <6680 tsavah > all <3605
