11 Now these are the names of the children of Israel which came
into Egypt every man and his household came with Jacob .
12 Reuben Simeon Levi and Judah .
13 Issachar Zebulun and Benjamin .
14 Dan and Naphtali Gad and Asher .
15 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were
seventy souls for Joseph was in Egypt already .
16 And Joseph died and all his brethren and all that generation
.
17 And the children of Israel were fruitful and increased
abundantly and multiplied and waxed exceeding mighty and the
land was filled with them .
18 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt which knew not
Joseph .
19 And he said unto his people Behold the people of the
children of Israel are more and mightier than we .
110 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 .
111 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict
them with their burdens And they built for Pharaoh treasure
cities Pithom and Raamses .
112 But the more they afflicted them the more they multiplied
and grew And they were grieved because of the children of Israel
.
113 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with
rigour .
114 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 .
115 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 .
116 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 .
117 But the midwives feared God and did not as the king of
Egypt commanded them but saved the men children alive .
118 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 .
119 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 .
120 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives and the people
multiplied and waxed very mighty .
121 And it came to pass because the midwives feared God that he
made them houses .
122 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 .
* 21 And there went a man of the house of Levi and took to wife
a daughter of Levi .
22 And the woman conceived and bare a son and when she saw him
that he was a goodly child she hid him three months .
23 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 .
24 And his sister stood afar off to wit what would be done to
him .
25 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 .
26 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 .
27 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 .
28 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her Go And the maid went and
called the child's mother .
29 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 .
210 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 .
211 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 .
212 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 .
213 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 .
214 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 .
215 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 .
216 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters and they came
and drew water and filled the troughs to water their father's
flock .
217 And the shepherds came and drove them away but Moses stood
up and helped them and watered their flock .
218 And when they came to Reuel their father he said How is it
that ye are come so soon to day .
219 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 .
220 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 .
221 And Moses was content to dwell with the man and he gave
Moses Zipporah his daughter .
222 And she bare him a son and he called his name Gershom for
he said I have been a stranger in a strange land .
223 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 .
224 And God heard their groaning and God remembered his
covenant with Abraham with Isaac and with Jacob .
225 And God looked upon the children of Israel and God had
respect unto them .
* 31 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 .
32 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 .
33 And Moses said I will now turn aside and see this great
sight why the bush is not burnt .
34 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 .
35 And he said Draw not nigh hither put off thy shoes from off
thy feet for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground .
36 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 .
37 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 .
38 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 .
39 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 .
310 Come now therefore and I will send thee unto Pharaoh that
thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of
Egypt .
311 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 .
312 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 .
313 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 .
314 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 .
315 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 .
316 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 .
317 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 .
318 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 .
319 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go no
not by a mighty hand .
