1 And there went * h3212 h8799 a man * h376 of the house * h1004 of Levi * h3878, and took * h3947 h8799 to wife a daughter * h1323 of Levi * h3878.
2 And the woman * h802 conceived * h2029 h8799, and bare * h3205 h8799 a son * h1121: and when she saw * h7200 h8799 him that he was a goodly * h2896 child , she hid * h6845 h8799 him three * h7969 months * h3391.
3 And when she could * h3201 h8804 not longer * h5750 hide * h6845 h8687 him, she took * h3947 h8799 for him an ark * h8392 of bulrushes * h1573, and daubed * h2560 h8799 it with slime * h2564 and with pitch * h2203, and put * h7760 h8799 the child * h3206 therein; and she laid * h7760 h8799 it in the flags * h5488 by the river's * h2975 brink * h8193.
4 And his sister * h269 stood * h3320 h8691 afar off * h7350, to wit * h3045 h8800 what would be done * h6213 h8735 to him.
5 And the daughter * h1323 of Pharaoh * h6547 came down * h3381 h8799 to wash * h7364 h8800 herself at the river * h2975; and her maidens * h5291 walked * h1980 h8802 along by the river's * h2975 side * h3027; and when she saw * h7200 h8799 the ark * h8392 among * h8432 the flags * h5488, she sent * h7971 h8799 her maid * h519 to fetch * h3947 h8799 it.
6 And when she had opened * h6605 h8799 it , she saw * h7200 h8799 the child * h3206: and, behold, the babe * h5288 wept * h1058 h8802. And she had compassion * h2550 h8799 on him, and said * h559 h8799, This is one of the Hebrews * h5680' children * h3206.
7 Then said * h559 h8799 his sister * h269 to Pharaoh's * h6547 daughter * h1323, Shall I go * h3212 h8799 and call * h7121 h8804 to thee a nurse * h3243 h8688 of the Hebrew * h5680 women * h802, that she may nurse * h3243 h8686 the child * h3206 for thee?
8 And Pharaoh's * h6547 daughter * h1323 said * h559 h8799 to her, Go * h3212 h8798. And the maid * h5959 went * h3212 h8799 and called * h7121 h8799 the child's * h3206 mother * h517.
9 And Pharaoh's * h6547 daughter * h1323 said * h559 h8799 unto her, Take * h3212 this child * h3206 away * h3212 h8685, and nurse * h3243 h8685 it for me, and I will give * h5414 h8799 thee thy wages * h7939. And the woman * h802 took * h3947 h8799 the child * h3206, and nursed * h5134 h8686 it.
10 And the child * h3206 grew * h1431 h8799, and she brought * h935 h8686 him unto Pharaoh's * h6547 daughter * h1323, and he became her son * h1121. And she called * h7121 h8799 his name * h8034 Moses * h4872: and she said * h559 h8799, Because I drew * h4871 h8804 him out of the water * h4325. Moses: that is, Drawn out
11 And it came to pass in those days * h3117, when Moses * h4872 was grown * h1431 h8799, that he went out * h3318 h8799 unto his brethren * h251, and looked * h7200 h8799 on their burdens * h5450: and he spied * h7200 h8799 an Egyptian * h4713 * h376 smiting * h5221 h8688 an Hebrew * h5680, one of his brethren * h251.
12 And he looked * h6437 h8799 this way * h3541 and that way * h3541, and when he saw * h7200 h8799 that there was no man * h376, he slew * h5221 h8686 the Egyptian * h4713, and hid * h2934 h8799 him in the sand * h2344.
13 And when he went out * h3318 h8799 the second * h8145 day * h3117, behold, two * h8147 men * h582 of the Hebrews * h5680 strove * h5327 h8737 together: and he said * h559 h8799 to him that did the wrong * h7563, Wherefore smitest * h5221 h8686 thou thy fellow * h7453?
14 And he said * h559 h8799, Who made * h7760 h8804 thee * h376 a prince * h8269 and a judge * h8199 h8802 over us? intendest * h559 h8802 thou to kill * h2026 h8800 me, as thou killedst * h2026 h8804 the Egyptian * h4713? And Moses * h4872 feared * h3372 h8799, and said * h559 h8799, Surely * h403 this thing * h1697 is known * h3045 h8738. a prince: Heb. a man, a prince
15 Now when Pharaoh * h6547 heard * h8085 h8799 this thing * h1697, he sought * h1245 h8762 to slay * h2026 h8800 Moses * h4872. But Moses * h4872 fled * h1272 h8799 from the face * h6440 of Pharaoh * h6547, and dwelt * h3427 h8799 in the land * h776 of Midian * h4080: and he sat down * h3427 h8799 by a well * h875.
16 Now the priest * h3548 of Midian * h4080 had seven * h7651 daughters * h1323: and they came * h935 h8799 and drew * h1802 h8799 water , and filled * h4390 h8762 the troughs * h7298 to water * h8248 h8687 their father's * h1 flock * h6629. priest: or, prince
17 And the shepherds * h7462 h8802 came * h935 h8799 and drove them away * h1644 h8762: but Moses * h4872 stood up * h6965 h8799 and helped * h3467 h8686 them, and watered * h8248 h8686 their flock * h6629.
18 And when they came * h935 h8799 to Reuel * h7467 their father * h1, he said * h559 h8799, How * h4069 is it that ye are come * h935 h8800 so soon * h4116 h8765 to day * h3117? Reuel: called also Jethro, or, Jether
19 And they said * h559 h8799, An Egyptian * h4713 * h376 delivered * h5337 h8689 us out of the hand * h3027 of the shepherds * h7462 h8802, and also drew * h1802 h8804 water enough * h1802 h8800 for us, and watered * h8248 h8686 the flock * h6629.
20 And he said * h559 h8799 unto his daughters * h1323, And where is he? why is it that ye have left * h5800 h8804 the man * h376? call * h7121 h8798 him, that he may eat * h398 h8799 bread * h3899.
21 And Moses * h4872 was content * h2974 h8686 to dwell * h3427 h8800 with the man * h376: and he gave * h5414 h8799 Moses * h4872 Zipporah * h6855 his daughter * h1323.
22 And she bare * h3205 h8799 him a son * h1121, and he called * h7121 h8799 his name * h8034 Gershom * h1647: for he said * h559 h8804, I have been a stranger * h1616 in a strange * h5237 land * h776. Gershom: that is, A stranger here
23 And it came to pass in process * h1992 * h7227 of time * h3117, that the king * h4428 of Egypt * h4714 died * h4191 h8799: and the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 sighed * h584 h8735 by reason of * h4480 the bondage * h5656, and they cried * h2199 h8799, and their cry * h7775 came up * h5927 h8799 unto God * h430 by reason of the bondage * h5656.
24 And God * h430 heard * h8085 h8799 their groaning * h5009, and God * h430 remembered * h2142 h8799 his covenant * h1285 with Abraham * h85, with Isaac * h3327, and with Jacob * h3290.
25 And God * h430 looked * h7200 h8799 upon the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478, and God * h430 had respect * h3045 h8799 unto them . had...: Heb. knew
