EXO-1:1 Now these [are] the names of the children of Israel,
which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with
Jacob.
EXO-1:2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
EXO-1:3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
EXO-1:4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
EXO-1:5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob
were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt [already].
EXO-1:6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that
generation.
EXO-1:7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased
abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the
land was filled with them.
EXO-1:8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew
not Joseph.
EXO-1:9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the
children of Israel [are] more and mightier than we:
EXO-1:10 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-1:11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to
afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh
treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
EXO-1:12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they
multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the
children of Israel.
EXO-1:13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve
with rigour:
EXO-1:14 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-1:15 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-1:16 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-1:17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king
of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
EXO-1:18 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-1:19 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-1:20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the
people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
EXO-1:21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God,
that he made them houses.
EXO-1:22 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-2:1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took
[to wife] a daughter of Levi.
EXO-2:2 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-2:3 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-2:4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be
done to him.
EXO-2:5 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-2:6 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-2:7 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-2:8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid
went and called the child's mother.
EXO-2:9 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-2:10 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-2:11 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-2:12 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-2:13 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-2:14 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-2:15 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-2:16 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-2:17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses
stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
EXO-2:18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How
[is it that] ye are come so soon to day?
EXO-2:19 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-2:20 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-2:21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he
gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
EXO-2:22 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-2:23 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-2:24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his
covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
EXO-2:25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God
had respect unto [them].
*EXO-3:1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law,
the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of
the desert, and came to the mountain of God, [even] to Horeb.
EXO-3:2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame
of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold,
the bush burned with fire, and the bush [was] not consumed.
EXO-3:3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this
great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
EXO-3:4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God
called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses,
Moses. And he said, Here [am] I.
EXO-3:5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes
from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest [is] holy
ground.
EXO-3:6 Moreover he said, I [am] the God of thy father, the God
of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses
hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
EXO-3:7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of
my people which [are] in Egypt, and have heard their cry by
reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
EXO-3:8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of
the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good
land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto
the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites,
and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
EXO-3:9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of
Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression
wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
EXO-3:10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh,
that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel
out of Egypt.
EXO-3:11 And Moses said unto God, Who [am] I, that I should go
unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of
Israel out of Egypt?
EXO-3:12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this
[shall be] a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou
hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God
upon this mountain.
EXO-3:13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, [when] I come unto
the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your
fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What
[is] his name? what shall I say unto them?
EXO-3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said,
Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent
me unto you.
EXO-3:15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say
unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the
God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath
sent me unto you: this [is] my name for ever, and this [is] my
memorial unto all generations.
EXO-3:16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say
unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of
Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely
visited you, and [seen] that which is done to you in Egypt:
EXO-3:17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the
affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the
Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites,
and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.
EXO-3:18 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt
come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and
ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with
us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into
the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
