Exodus 1
1. Now these <0428> [are] the names <8034> of the children
<1121> of Israel <3478>, which came <0935> into Egypt <4714>;
every man <0376> and his household <1004> came <0935> with Jacob
<3290>.
2 Reuben <7205>, Simeon <8095>, Levi <3878>, and Judah <3063>,
3 Issachar <3485>, Zebulun <2074>, and Benjamin <1144>,
4 Dan <1835>, and Naphtali <5321>, Gad <1410>, and Asher <0836>.
5 And all <3605> the souls <5315> that came <3318> out of the
loins <3409> of Jacob <3290> were seventy <7657> souls <5315>:
for Joseph <3130> was in Egypt <4714> [already].
6 And Joseph <3130> died <4191>, and all <3605> his brethren
<0251>, and all <3605> that generation <1755>.
7 And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> were fruitful <6509>,
and increased <8317> abundantly <8317>, and multiplied <7235>,
and waxed exceeding <3966> mighty <6105>; and the land <0776>
was filled <4390> with them.
8. Now there arose <6965> up a new <2319> king <4428> over
<5921> Egypt <4714>, which <0834> knew <3045> not Joseph <3130>.
9 And he said <0559> unto his people <5971>, Behold <2009>, the
people <5971> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478> [are] more
<7227> and mightier <6099> than we:
10 Come <3051> on, let us deal wisely <2449> with them; lest
<6435> they multiply <7235>, and it come <1961> to pass, that,
when <3588> there falleth <7122> out any war <4421>, they join
<3254> also <1571> unto our enemies <8130>, and fight <3898>
against us, and [so] get <5927> them up out of the land <0776>.
11 Therefore they did set <7760> over <5921> them taskmasters
to afflict <6031> them with their burdens <5450>. And they built
<1129> for Pharaoh <6547> treasure <4543> cities <5892>, Pithom
<6619> and Raamses <7486>.
12 But the more <3651> they afflicted <6031> them, the more
<3651> they multiplied <7235> and grew <6555>. And they were
grieved <6973> because <6440> of the children <1121> of Israel
<3478>.
13 And the Egyptians <4714> made the children <1121> of Israel
<3478> to serve <5647> with rigour <6531>:
14 And they made their lives <2416> bitter <4843> with hard
<7186> bondage <5656>, in morter <2563>, and in brick <3843>,
and in all <3605> manner of service <5656> in the field <7704>:
all <3605> their service <5656>, wherein <0834> they made them
serve <5647>, [was] with rigour <6531>.
15. And the king <4428> of Egypt <4714> spake <0559> to the
Hebrew <5680> midwives <3205>, of which <0834> the name <8034>
of the one <0259> [was] Shiphrah <8236>, and the name <8034> of
the other <8145> Puah <6326>:
16 And he said <0559>, When ye do the office of a midwife
<3205> to the Hebrew <5680> women, and see <7200> [them] upon
the stools <70>; if it [be] a son <1121>, then ye shall kill
<4191> him: but if it [be] a daughter <1323>, then she shall
live <2425>.
17 But the midwives <3205> feared <3372> God <0430>, and did
<6213> not as the king <4428> of Egypt <4714> commanded <1696>
them, but saved <2421> the men children <3206> alive <2421>.
18 And the king <4428> of Egypt <4714> called <7121> for the
midwives <3205>, and said <0559> unto them, Why <4069> have ye
done <6213> this <2088> thing <1697>, and have saved <2421> the
men children <3206> alive <2421>?
19 And the midwives <3205> said <0559> unto Pharaoh <6547>,
Because <3588> the Hebrew <5680> women <0802> [are] not as the
Egyptian <4713> women <0802>; for they [are] lively <2422>, and
are delivered <3205> ere <2962> the midwives <3205> come <0935>
in unto them.
20 Therefore God <0430> dealt well <3190> with the midwives
<3205>: and the people <5971> multiplied <7235>, and waxed very
<3966> mighty <6105>.
21 And it came <1961> to pass, because <3588> the midwives
<3205> feared <3372> God <0430>, that he made <6213> them houses
<1004>.
22 And Pharaoh <6547> charged <6680> all <3605> his people
<5971>, saying <0559>, Every <3605> son <1121> that is born
<3209> ye shall cast <7993> into the river <2975>, and every
<3605> daughter <1323> ye shall save <2421> alive <2421>.
Exodus 2
1. And there went <3212> a man <0376> of the house <1004> of
Levi <3878>, and took <3947> [to wife] a daughter <1323> of Levi
<3878>.
2 And the woman <0802> conceived <2030>, and bare <3205> a son
<1121>: and when <3588> she saw <7200> him that he [was a]
goodly <2896> [child], she hid <6845> him three <7969> months
<3391>.
3 And when <3588> she could <3201> not longer <5750> hide
<6845> him, she took <3947> for him an ark <8392> of bulrushes
<1573>, and daubed <2560> it with slime <2564> and with pitch
<2203>, and put <7760> the child <3206> therein; and she laid
<7760> [it] in the flags <5488> by the river's <2975> brink
<8193>.
4 And his sister <0269> stood <3320> afar <7350> off, to wit
<3045> what <4100> would be done <6213> to him.
5. And the daughter <1323> of Pharaoh <6547> came <3381> down
<3381> to wash <7364> [herself] at <5921> the river <2975>; and
her maidens <5291> walked <1980> along by the river's <2975>
side <3027>; and when she saw <7200> the ark <8392> among <8432>
the flags <5488>, she sent <7971> her maid <0519> to fetch
<3947> it.
6 And when she had opened <6605> [it], she saw <7200> the child
<3206>: and, behold <2009>, the babe <5288> wept <1058>. And she
had compassion <2550> on <5921> him, and said <0559>, This
<2088> [is one] of the Hebrews <5680>' children <3206>.
7 Then said <0559> his sister <0269> to Pharaoh's <6547>
daughter <1323>, Shall I go <3212> and call <7121> to thee a
nurse <3243> of the Hebrew <5680> women, that she may nurse
<3243> the child <3206> for thee?
8 And Pharaoh's <6547> daughter <1323> said <0559> to her, Go
<3212>. And the maid <5959> went <3212> and called <7121> the
child's <3206> mother <0517>.
9 And Pharaoh's <6547> daughter <1323> said <0559> unto her,
Take <3212> this <2088> child <3206> away, and nurse <3243> it
for me, and I will give <5414> [thee] thy wages <7939>. And the
woman <0802> took <3947> the child <3206>, and nursed <5134> it.
10 And the child <3206> grew <1431>, and she brought <0935> him
unto Pharaoh's <6547> daughter <1323>, and he became <1961> her
son <1121>. And she called <7121> his name <8034> Moses <4872>:
and she said <0559>, Because <3588> I drew <4871> him out of the
water <4325>.
11. And it came <1961> to pass in those <1992> days <3117>,
when Moses <4872> was grown <1431>, that he went <3318> out unto
his brethren <0251>, and looked <7200> on their burdens <5450>:
and he spied <7200> an Egyptian <4713> smiting <5221> an Hebrew
<5680>, one of his brethren <0251>.
12 And he looked <6437> this <3541> way <3541> and that way
<3541>, and when he saw <7200> that [there was] no <0369> man
<0376>, he slew <5221> the Egyptian <4713>, and hid <2934> him
in the sand <2344>.
13 And when he went <3318> out the second <8145> day <3117>,
behold <2009>, two <8147> men <0582> of the Hebrews <5680>
