EXO 01:01 Now these [are] the names of the children of Israel,
which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with
Jacob.
EXO 01:02 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
EXO 01:03 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
EXO 01:04 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
EXO 01:05 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob
were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt [already].
EXO 01:06 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that
generation.
EXO 01:07 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and
increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty;
and the land was filled with them.
EXO 01:08 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew
not Joseph.
EXO 01:09 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of
the children of Israel [are] more and mightier than we:
EXO 01:10 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.
EXO 01:11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to
afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh
treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
EXO 01:12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they
multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the
children of Israel.
EXO 01:13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to
serve with rigour:
EXO 01:14 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.
EXO 01:15 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:
EXO 01:16 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.
EXO 01:17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king
of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
EXO 01:18 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?
EXO 01:19 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.
EXO 01:20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the
people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
EXO 01:21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God,
that he made them houses.
EXO 01:22 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.
EXO 02:01 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took
[to wife] a daughter of Levi.
EXO 02:02 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she
saw him that he [was a] goodly [child], she hid him three months.
EXO 02:03 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.
EXO 02:04 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be
done to him.
EXO 02:05 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.
EXO 02:06 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.
EXO 02:07 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?
EXO 02:08 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid
went and called the child's mother.
EXO 02:09 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.
EXO 02:10 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.
EXO 02:11 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.
EXO 02:12 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.
EXO 02:13 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?
EXO 02:14 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.
EXO 02:15 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.
EXO 02:16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and
they came and drew [water], and filled the troughs to water
their father's flock.
EXO 02:17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses
stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
EXO 02:18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said,
How [is it that] ye are come so soon to day?
EXO 02:19 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.
EXO 02:20 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.
EXO 02:21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he
gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
EXO 02:22 And she bare [him] a son, and he called his name
Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
EXO 02:23 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.
EXO 02:24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his
covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
EXO 02:25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God
had respect unto [them].
EXO 03:01 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law,
the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of
