Exodus Chapter 1

1NowH935 theseH428 are the namesH8034 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, whichH428 cameH935 intoH935 EgyptH4714; everyH376 manH376 and his householdH1004 cameH935 with JacobH3290. 2ReubenH7205, SimeonH8095, LeviH3878, and JudahH3063; 3IssacharH3485, ZebulunH2074, and BenjaminH1144; 4DanH1835 and NaphtaliH5321, GadH1410 and AsherH836. 5And allH3605 the soulsH5315 that cameH1961 outH3318 of the loinsH3409 of JacobH3290 were seventyH7657 soulsH5315: and JosephH3130 was in EgyptH4714 already. 6And JosephH3130 diedH4191, and allH3605 his brethrenH251, and allH3605 that generationH1755. 7And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were fruitfulH6509, and increasedH8317 abundantlyH8317, and multipliedH7235, and waxed exceedingH3966 mighty; and the landH776 was filledH4390 with them. 8NowH4714 there aroseH6965 a newH2319 kingH4428 over EgyptH4714, whichH834 knewH3045 notH3808 JosephH3130. 9And he saidH559 unto his peopleH5971, BeholdH2009, the peopleH5971 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 are moreH4480 and mightierH6099 thanH4480 we: 10comeH1961, letH1961 usH5921 dealH7235 wiselyH2449 with them; lestH6435 they multiplyH7235, and it comeH1961 to passH1961, that, when there falleth outH4480 anyH4480 warH4421, they also joinH3254 themselvesH5921 unto our enemiesH8130, and fightH3898 againstH5921 usH5921, and getH5927 them upH5927 outH4480 of the landH776. 11Therefore they did setH7760 over them taskmasters to afflictH6031 them with their burdensH5450. And they builtH1129 for PharaohH6547 storeH4543 citiesH5892, PithomH6619 and RaamsesH7486. 12But the moreH3651 they afflictedH1121 them, the moreH3651 they multipliedH7235 and the moreH3651 they spreadH6555 abroadH6555. And they were grieved becauseH834 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 13And the EgyptiansH4713 madeH5647 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 to serveH5647 with rigour: 14and they madeH4843 their livesH2416 bitterH4843 with hardH7186 serviceH5656, in mortar and in brickH3843, and in allH3605 manner of serviceH5656 in the fieldH7704, allH3605 their serviceH5656, whereinH834 they madeH4843 them serveH5647 with rigour. 15And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 spake to the HebrewH5680 midwivesH3205, of whichH834 the nameH8034 of the one was ShiphrahH8236, and the nameH8034 of the otherH259 PuahH6326: 16and he saidH559, When ye doH518 the office of a midwifeH3205 to the HebrewH5680 womenH1323, and seeH7200 them uponH5921 the birthstoolH70; ifH518 it be a sonH1121, then ye shall killH4191 him; but ifH518 it be a daughterH1323, then sheH1931 shall live. 17But the midwivesH3205 fearedH3372 GodH430, and didH6213 notH3808 as the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 commandedH1696 them, but saved the menH3206 childrenH3206 aliveH2421. 18And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 calledH7121 for the midwivesH3205, and saidH559 unto them, WhyH4069 have ye doneH6213 this thingH1697, and have saved the menH3206 childrenH3206 aliveH2421? 19And the midwivesH3205 saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, BecauseH3588 the HebrewH5680 womenH802 are notH3808 as the EgyptianH4713 womenH802; for they are lively, and are deliveredH3205 ere the midwifeH3205 comeH935 unto them. 20And GodH430 dealt wellH3190 with the midwivesH3205: and the peopleH5971 multipliedH7235, and waxed veryH3966 mightyH430. 21And it cameH1961 to passH1961, becauseH3588 the midwivesH3205 fearedH3372 GodH430, that he madeH6213 them housesH1004. 22And PharaohH6547 chargedH6680 allH3605 his peopleH5971, sayingH559, EveryH3605 sonH1121 that is bornH3209 ye shall castH7993 intoH7993 the riverH2975, and everyH3605 daughterH1323 ye shall save aliveH2421.
