Exodus 1
1. Now these <0428> [are] the names <08034> of the children
<01121> of Israel <03478>, which came <0935> into Egypt <04714>;
every man <0376> and his household <01004> came <0935> with
Jacob <03290>.
2 Reuben <07205>, Simeon <08095>, Levi <03878>, and Judah
<03063>,
3 Issachar <03485>, Zebulun <02074>, and Benjamin <01144>,
4 Dan <01835>, and Naphtali <05321>, Gad <01410>, and Asher
<0836>.
5 And all <03605> the souls <05315> that came <03318> out of
the loins <03409> of Jacob <03290> were seventy <07657> souls
<05315>: for Joseph <03130> was in Egypt <04714> [already].
6 And Joseph <03130> died <04191>, and all <03605> his brethren
<0251>, and all <03605> that generation <01755>.
7 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> were fruitful
<06509>, and increased <08317> abundantly <08317>, and
multiplied <07235>, and waxed exceeding <03966> mighty <06105>;
and the land <0776> was filled <04390> with them.
8. Now there arose <06965> up a new <02319> king <04428> over
<05921> Egypt <04714>, which <0834> knew <03045> not Joseph
<03130>.
9 And he said <0559> unto his people <05971>, Behold <02009>,
the people <05971> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>
[are] more <07227> and mightier <06099> than we:
10 Come <03051> on, let us deal wisely <02449> with them; lest
<06435> they multiply <07235>, and it come <01961> to pass, that,
when <03588> there falleth <07122> out any war <04421>, they
join <03254> also <01571> unto our enemies <08130>, and fight
<03898> against us, and [so] get <05927> them up out of the land
<0776>.
11 Therefore they did set <07760> over <05921> them taskmasters
to afflict <06031> them with their burdens <05450>. And they
built <01129> for Pharaoh <06547> treasure <04543> cities
<05892>, Pithom <06619> and Raamses <07486>.
12 But the more <03651> they afflicted <06031> them, the more
<03651> they multiplied <07235> and grew <06555>. And they were
grieved <06973> because <06440> of the children <01121> of
Israel <03478>.
13 And the Egyptians <04714> made the children <01121> of
Israel <03478> to serve <05647> with rigour <06531>:
14 And they made their lives <02416> bitter <04843> with hard
<07186> bondage <05656>, in morter <02563>, and in brick <03843>,
and in all <03605> manner of service <05656> in the field
<07704>: all <03605> their service <05656>, wherein <0834> they
made them serve <05647>, [was] with rigour <06531>.
15. And the king <04428> of Egypt <04714> spake <0559> to the
Hebrew <05680> midwives <03205>, of which <0834> the name
<08034> of the one <0259> [was] Shiphrah <08236>, and the name
<08034> of the other <08145> Puah <06326>:
16 And he said <0559>, When ye do the office of a midwife
<03205> to the Hebrew <05680> women, and see <07200> [them] upon
the stools <070>; if it [be] a son <01121>, then ye shall kill
<04191> him: but if it [be] a daughter <01323>, then she shall
live <02425>.
17 But the midwives <03205> feared <03372> God <0430>, and did
<06213> not as the king <04428> of Egypt <04714> commanded
<01696> them, but saved <02421> the men children <03206> alive
<02421>.
18 And the king <04428> of Egypt <04714> called <07121> for the
midwives <03205>, and said <0559> unto them, Why <04069> have ye
done <06213> this <02088> thing <01697>, and have saved <02421>
the men children <03206> alive <02421>?
19 And the midwives <03205> said <0559> unto Pharaoh <06547>,
Because <03588> the Hebrew <05680> women <0802> [are] not as the
Egyptian <04713> women <0802>; for they [are] lively <02422>,
and are delivered <03205> ere <02962> the midwives <03205> come
<0935> in unto them.
20 Therefore God <0430> dealt well <03190> with the midwives
<03205>: and the people <05971> multiplied <07235>, and waxed
very <03966> mighty <06105>.
21 And it came <01961> to pass, because <03588> the midwives
<03205> feared <03372> God <0430>, that he made <06213> them
houses <01004>.
22 And Pharaoh <06547> charged <06680> all <03605> his people
<05971>, saying <0559>, Every <03605> son <01121> that is born
<03209> ye shall cast <07993> into the river <02975>, and every
<03605> daughter <01323> ye shall save <02421> alive <02421>.
Exodus 2
1. And there went <03212> a man <0376> of the house <01004> of
Levi <03878>, and took <03947> [to wife] a daughter <01323> of
Levi <03878>.
2 And the woman <0802> conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> a
son <01121>: and when <03588> she saw <07200> him that he [was
a] goodly <02896> [child], she hid <06845> him three <07969>
months <03391>.
3 And when <03588> she could <03201> not longer <05750> hide
<06845> him, she took <03947> for him an ark <08392> of
bulrushes <01573>, and daubed <02560> it with slime <02564> and
with pitch <02203>, and put <07760> the child <03206> therein;
and she laid <07760> [it] in the flags <05488> by the river's
<02975> brink <08193>.
4 And his sister <0269> stood <03320> afar <07350> off, to wit
<03045> what <04100> would be done <06213> to him.
5. And the daughter <01323> of Pharaoh <06547> came <03381>
down <03381> to wash <07364> [herself] at <05921> the river
<02975>; and her maidens <05291> walked <01980> along by the
river's <02975> side <03027>; and when she saw <07200> the ark
<08392> among <08432> the flags <05488>, she sent <07971> her
maid <0519> to fetch <03947> it.
6 And when she had opened <06605> [it], she saw <07200> the
child <03206>: and, behold <02009>, the babe <05288> wept
<01058>. And she had compassion <02550> on <05921> him, and said
<0559>, This <02088> [is one] of the Hebrews <05680>' children
<03206>.
7 Then said <0559> his sister <0269> to Pharaoh's <06547>
daughter <01323>, Shall I go <03212> and call <07121> to thee a
nurse <03243> of the Hebrew <05680> women, that she may nurse
<03243> the child <03206> for thee?
8 And Pharaoh's <06547> daughter <01323> said <0559> to her, Go
<03212>. And the maid <05959> went <03212> and called <07121>
the child's <03206> mother <0517>.
9 And Pharaoh's <06547> daughter <01323> said <0559> unto her,
Take <03212> this <02088> child <03206> away, and nurse <03243>
it for me, and I will give <05414> [thee] thy wages <07939>. And
the woman <0802> took <03947> the child <03206>, and nursed
<05134> it.
10 And the child <03206> grew <01431>, and she brought <0935>
him unto Pharaoh's <06547> daughter <01323>, and he became
<01961> her son <01121>. And she called <07121> his name <08034>
Moses <04872>: and she said <0559>, Because <03588> I drew
<04871> him out of the water <04325>.
11. And it came <01961> to pass in those <01992> days <03117>,
when Moses <04872> was grown <01431>, that he went <03318> out
unto his brethren <0251>, and looked <07200> on their burdens
<05450>: and he spied <07200> an Egyptian <04713> smiting
