| 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
put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 2:4 |
|
And his sister stood afar off, to wit what
would be done to him. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 2:5 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 2:6 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 2:7 |
|
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? |
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:8 |
|
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And
the maid 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 women
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
she said, Because I drew him out of the water. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:11 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:12 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:13 |
|
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? |
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:14 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| 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 also drew water enough 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 him a son, and he called his name
Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 2:23 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
| 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 looked upon the children of Israel,
and God had respect unto them. |
