Exodus 2:8-17

8“Go aheadH1980,” Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 toldH559 her. And the girlH5959 wentH1980 and calledH7121 the boy’sH3206 motherH517.

9Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 saidH559 to her, “TakeH1980 thisH2088 childH3206 and nurse himH3243 for me, and IH589 will payH5414 your wagesH7939.” So the womanH802 tookH3947 the boyH3206 and nursed himH5134.

10When the childH3206 had grown olderH1431, she brought himH935 to Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323, and he becameH1961 her sonH1121. She named himH7121H8034 MosesH48721 and explainedH559H3588, “I drew him outH4871 ofH4480 the waterH4325.”

One dayH3117H1992, after MosesH4872 had grown upH1431, he went outH3318 toH413 his own peopleH2512 and observedH7200 their hard laborH5450. He sawH7200H376 an EgyptianH4713 beatingH5221H376 a HebrewH5680, one of his own peopleH251. 12After lookingH6437 this wayH3541 and thatH3541 and seeingH7200H3588 noH369 oneH376, he struck downH5221 the EgyptianH4713 and hid his bodyH2934 in the sandH2344.

13The nextH8145 dayH3117 Moses went outH3318 and sawH2009 twoH8147H582 HebrewsH5680 fightingH5327. He askedH559 the one in the wrongH7563, “WhyH4100 are you attackingH5221 your companionH7453?”

14But the man repliedH559, “WhoH4310 madeH7760 youH376 rulerH8269 and judgeH8199 over usH5921?3 Are youH859 planningH559 to kill meH2026 asH834 you killedH2026 the EgyptianH4713?4”

Then MosesH4872 was afraidH3372 and thoughtH559, “This thing I have doneH1697 has surelyH403 become knownH3045.”

15When PharaohH6547 heardH8085 about this matterH2088, he soughtH1245 to killH2026 MosesH4872. But MosesH4872 fledH1272 fromH6440 PharaohH6547 and settledH3427 in the landH776 of MidianH4080, where he sat downH3427 besideH5921 a wellH875.

16Now the priestH3548 of MidianH4080 had sevenH7651 daughtersH1323, and they cameH935 to draw waterH1802 and fillH4390 the troughsH7298 to waterH8248 their father’sH1 flockH6629. 17And when some shepherdsH7462 came alongH935 and drove them awayH1644, MosesH4872 rose upH6965 to help themH3467 and wateredH8248 their flockH6629.
