And there went <H3212> a man <H0376> of the house <H1004> of Levi, <H3878> and took <H3947> [to wife] a daughter <H1323> of Levi. <H3878>
2
And the woman <H0802> conceived, <H2029> and bare <H3205> a son: <H1121> and when she saw <H7200> him that he [was a] goodly <H2896> [child], she hid <H6845> him three <H7969> months. <H3391>
3
And when she could <H3201> not longer <H5750> hide <H6845> him, she took <H3947> for him an ark <H8392> of bulrushes, <H1573> and daubed <H2560> it with slime <H2564> and with pitch, <H2203> and put <H7760> the child <H3206> therein; and she laid <H7760> [it] in the flags <H5488> by the river's <H2975> brink. <H8193>
4
And his sister <H0269> stood <H3320> afar off, <H7350> to wit <H3045> what would be done <H6213> to him.
5
And the daughter <H1323> of Pharaoh <H6547> came down <H3381> to wash <H7364> [herself] at the river; <H2975> and her maidens <H5291> walked <H1980> along by the river's <H2975> side; <H3027> and when she saw <H7200> the ark <H8392> among <H8432> the flags, <H5488> she sent <H7971> her maid <H0519> to fetch <H3947> it.
6
And when she had opened <H6605> [it], she saw <H7200> the child: <H3206> and, behold, the babe <H5288> wept. <H1058> And she had compassion <H2550> on him, and said, <H0559> This [is one] of the Hebrews' <H5680> children. <H3206>
7
Then said <H0559> his sister <H0269> to Pharaoh's <H6547> daughter, <H1323> Shall I go <H3212> and call <H7121> to thee a nurse <H0802> <H3243> of the Hebrew women, <H5680> that she may nurse <H3243> the child <H3206> for thee?
8
And Pharaoh's <H6547> daughter <H1323> said <H0559> to her, Go. <H3212> And the maid <H5959> went <H3212> and called <H7121> the child's <H3206> mother. <H0517>
9
And Pharaoh's <H6547> daughter <H1323> said <H0559> unto her, Take <H3212> this child <H3206> away, and nurse <H3243> it for me, and I will give <H5414> [thee] thy wages. <H7939> And the woman <H0802> took <H3947> the child, <H3206> and nursed <H5134> it.
10
And the child <H3206> grew, <H1431> and she brought <H0935> him unto Pharaoh's <H6547> daughter, <H1323> and he became her son. <H1121> And she called <H7121> his name <H8034> Moses: <H4872> and she said, <H0559> Because I drew <H4871> him out of the water. <H4325>
11
And it came to pass in those days, <H3117> when Moses <H4872> was grown, <H1431> that he went out <H3318> unto his brethren, <H0251> and looked <H7200> on their burdens: <H5450> and he spied <H7200> an Egyptian <H4713> <H0376> smiting <H5221> an Hebrew, <H5680> <H0376> one of his brethren. <H0251>
12
And he looked <H6437> this way <H3541> and that way, <H3541> and when he saw <H7200> that [there was] no man, <H0376> he slew <H5221> the Egyptian, <H4713> and hid <H2934> him in the sand. <H2344>
13
And when he went out <H3318> the second <H8145> day, <H3117> behold, two <H8147> men <H0582> of the Hebrews <H5680> strove <H5327> together: and he said <H0559> to him that did the wrong, <H7563> Wherefore smitest <H5221> thou thy fellow? <H7453>
14
And he said, <H0559> Who made <H7760> thee <H0376> a prince <H8269> and a judge <H8199> over us? intendest <H0559> thou to kill <H2026> me, as thou killedst <H2026> the Egyptian? <H4713> And Moses <H4872> feared, <H3372> and said, <H0559> Surely <H0403> this thing <H1697> is known. <H3045>
15
Now when Pharaoh <H6547> heard <H8085> this thing, <H1697> he sought <H1245> to slay <H2026> Moses. <H4872> But Moses <H4872> fled <H1272> from the face <H6440> of Pharaoh, <H6547> and dwelt <H3427> in the land <H0776> of Midian: <H4080> and he sat down <H3427> by a well. <H0875>
16
Now the priest <H3548> of Midian <H4080> had seven <H7651> daughters: <H1323> and they came <H0935> and drew <H1802> [water], and filled <H4390> the troughs <H7298> to water <H8248> their father's <H0001> flock. <H6629>
17
And the shepherds <H7462> came <H0935> and drove them away: <H1644> but Moses <H4872> stood up <H6965> and helped <H3467> them, and watered <H8248> their flock. <H6629>
18
And when they came <H0935> to Reuel <H7467> their father, <H0001> he said, <H0559> How <H4069> [is it that] ye are come <H0935> so soon <H4116> to day? <H3117>
19
And they said, <H0559> An Egyptian <H4713> <H0376> delivered <H5337> us out of the hand <H3027> of the shepherds, <H7462> and also drew <H1802> [water] enough <H1802> for us, and watered <H8248> the flock. <H6629>
20
And he said <H0559> unto his daughters, <H1323> And where [is] he? why [is] it [that] ye have left <H5800> the man? <H0376> call <H7121> him, that he may eat <H0398> bread. <H3899>
21
And Moses <H4872> was content <H2974> to dwell <H3427> with the man: <H0376> and he gave <H5414> Moses <H4872> Zipporah <H6855> his daughter. <H1323>
22
And she bare <H3205> [him] a son, <H1121> and he called <H7121> his name <H8034> Gershom: <H1647> for he said, <H0559> I have been a stranger <H1616> in a strange <H5237> land. <H0776>
23
And it came to pass in process <H1992> <H7227> of time, <H3117> that the king <H4428> of Egypt <H4714> died: <H4191> and the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> sighed <H0584> by reason of <H4480> the bondage, <H5656> and they cried, <H2199> and their cry <H7775> came up <H5927> unto God <H0430> by reason of the bondage. <H5656>
24
And God <H0430> heard <H8085> their groaning, <H5009> and God <H0430> remembered <H2142> his covenant <H1285> with Abraham, <H0085> with Isaac, <H3327> and with Jacob. <H3290>
25
And God <H0430> looked <H7200> upon the children <H1121> of Israel, <H3478> and God <H0430> had respect <H3045> unto [them].
