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
kol > his people <5971 <am >, saying <0559 >amar >, Every <3605
kol > son <1121 ben > that is born <3209 yillowd > ye shall cast
<7993 shalak > into the river <2975 y@<or >, and every <3605 kol
> daughter <1323 bath > ye shall save <2421 chayah > alive <2421
chayah >.
Exodus 2
1. And there went <3212 yalak > a man <0376 >iysh > of the
house <1004 bayith > of Levi <3878 Leviy >, and took <3947
laqach > [to wife] a daughter <1323 bath > of Levi <3878 Leviy >.
2 And the woman <0802 >ishshah > conceived <2030 hareh >, and
bare <3205 yalad > a son <1121 ben >: and when <3588 kiy > she
saw <7200 ra>ah > him that he [was a] goodly <2896 towb >
[child], she hid <6845 tsaphan > him three <7969 shalowsh >
months <3391 yerach >.
3 And when <3588 kiy > she could <3201 yakol > not longer <5750
<owd > hide <6845 tsaphan > him, she took <3947 laqach > for him
an ark <8392 tebah > of bulrushes <1573 gome> >, and daubed
<2560 chamar > it with slime <2564 chemar > and with pitch <2203
zepheth >, and put <7760 suwm > the child <3206 yeled > therein;
and she laid <7760 suwm > [it] in the flags <5488 cuwph > by the
river's <2975 y@<or > brink <8193 saphah >.
4 And his sister <0269 >achowth > stood <3320 yatsab > afar
<7350 rachowq > off, to wit <3045 yada< > what <4100 mah > would
be done <6213 <asah > to him.
5. And the daughter <1323 bath > of Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > came
<3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to wash <7364 rachats >
[herself] at <5921 <al > the river <2975 y@<or >; and her
maidens <5291 na<arah > walked <1980 halak > along by the
river's <2975 y@<or > side <3027 yad >; and when she saw <7200
ra>ah > the ark <8392 tebah > among <8432 tavek > the flags
<5488 cuwph >, she sent <7971 shalach > her maid <0519 >amah >
to fetch <3947 laqach > it.
6 And when she had opened <6605 pathach > [it], she saw <7200
