| Exodus 1:1 |
|
Now these are the names of the children
of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with
Jacob. |
|
|
|
| |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 1:2 |
|
Reuben, Simeon,
Levi, and Judah, |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 1:3 |
|
Issachar, Zebulun,
and Benjamin, |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 1:4 |
|
Dan, and Naphtali,
Gad, and Asher. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 1:5 |
|
And all the souls that came out of the loins
of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt
already. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 1:6 |
|
And Joseph
died, and all his brethren, and all that generation. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 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. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| Exodus 1:8 |
|
Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which
knew not Joseph. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 1:9 |
|
And he said unto his people, Behold, the people
of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: |
|
|
|
| Exodus 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. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 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. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 1:12 |
|
But the more they afflicted them, the more they
multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 1:13 |
|
And the Egyptians made the children of Israel
to serve with rigour: |
|
|
|
| Exodus 1:14 |
|
And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage,
in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their
service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 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: |
|
|
|
| Exodus 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. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 1:17 |
|
But the midwives feared God, and did not as
the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 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? |
|
|
|
| Exodus 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. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 1:20 |
|
Therefore God dealt well with the midwives:
and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 1:21 |
|
And it came to pass, because the midwives feared
God, that he made them houses. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 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. |
