Exodus 2:8-17

8Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 saidH559 to her, “GoH1980 ahead.” So the girlH5959 wentH1980 and calledH7121 the child’sH3206 motherH517. 9Then Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 saidH559 to her, “TakeH1980 thisH2088 childH3206 away and nurseH3243 him for me and I will giveH5414 you your wagesH7939.” So the womanH802 tookH3947 the childH3206 and nursedH5134 him. 10The childH3206 grewH1431, and she broughtH935 him to Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 and 1he becameH1961 her sonH1121. And she namedH7121H8034 him 2MosesH4872, and saidH559, “BecauseH3588 I 3drewH4871 him out of the waterH4325.”

11Now it cameH1961 about in thoseH1992 daysH3117, 4when MosesH4872 had grownH1431 up, that he wentH3318 out to his brethrenH251 and lookedH7200 on their 56hardH5450 laborsH5450; and 7he sawH7200 an EgyptianH4713 beatingH5221 a HebrewH5680, oneH4480 of his brethrenH251. 12So he 8lookedH6437 thisH3541 wayH3541 and that, and when he sawH7200 thereH369 was noH369 oneH376 around, he 9struckH5221 downH5221 the EgyptianH4713 and hidH2934 him in the sandH2344. 13He wentH3318 out 10the nextH8145 dayH3117, and beholdH2009, twoH8147 HebrewsH5680 were 11fightingH5327 with each other; and he saidH559 to the 12offenderH7563, “WhyH4100 are you strikingH5221 your companionH7453?” 14But he saidH559, “13WhoH4310 madeH7760 you a 14princeH8269 or a judgeH8199 overH5921 us? Are you 15intendingH559 to killH2026 me as you killedH2026 the EgyptianH4713?” Then MosesH4872 was afraidH3372 and saidH559, “SurelyH403 the matterH1697 has become knownH3045.” 15When PharaohH6547 heardH8085 of thisH2088 matterH1697, he triedH1245 to killH2026 MosesH4872. But 16MosesH4872 fledH1272 from the presenceH6440 of PharaohH6547 and 17settledH3427 in the landH776 of MidianH4080, and he satH3427 downH3427 18by a wellH875.

16Now 19the priestH3548 of MidianH4080 had sevenH7651 daughtersH1323; and 20they cameH935 to drawH1802 waterH1802 and filledH4390 the troughsH7298 to waterH8248 their father’sH1 flockH6629. 17Then the shepherdsH7462 cameH935 and droveH1644 them awayH1644, but 21MosesH4872 stoodH6965 up and helpedH3467 them and wateredH8248 their flockH6629.
