| Exodus 2:1 |
|
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and
took to wife a daughter of Levi. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 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. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 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
she put the child therein, and laid it in the flags by the river's brink. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 2:4 |
|
And his sister stood afar off, to know what
would be done to him. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 2:5 |
|
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe
at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the
ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 2:6 |
|
And she opened it, and saw the child: and, behold,
the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews'
children. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 2:7 |
|
Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter,
Shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child
for thee? |
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:8 |
|
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And
the maiden went and called the child's mother. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 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. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 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
said, Because I drew him out of the water. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:11 |
|
And it came to pass in those days, when Moses
was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens:
and he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:12 |
|
And he looked this way and that way, and when
he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:13 |
|
And he went out the second day, and, behold,
two men of the Hebrews were striving together: and he said to him that did the
wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? |
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:14 |
|
And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge
over us? Thinkest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared,
and said, Surely the thing is known. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 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. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 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.
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:17 |
|
And the shepherds came and drove them away;
but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:18 |
|
And when they came to Reuel their father, he
said, How is it that ye are come so soon to-day? |
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:19 |
|
And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out
of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the
flock. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 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. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 2:21 |
|
And Moses was content to dwell with the man:
and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:22 |
|
And she bare a son, and he called his name Gershom;
for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:23 |
|
And it came to pass in the course of those many
days, 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:24 |
|
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered
his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:25 |
|
And God saw the children of Israel, and God
took knowledge of them. |
