Exodus 2

1And there wentH376 a manH376 of the houseH1004 of LeviH3878, and tookH3947 to wife a daughterH1323 of LeviH3878. 2And the womanH802 conceivedH2029, and bare a sonH1121: and when sheH1931 sawH7200 him that he was a goodly childH1121, sheH1931 hidH6845 him threeH7969 monthsH3391. 3And when sheH3808 couldH3201 notH3808 longerH5750 hideH6845 him, sheH3808 tookH3947 for him an arkH8392 of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitchH2203; and sheH3808 putH7760 the childH3206 therein, and laidH7760 it in the flags by the river’s brink. 4And his sisterH269 stoodH3320 afarH7350 offH7350, to knowH3045 whatH4100 would be doneH6213 to him. 5And the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547 cameH3381 downH3381 to batheH7364 at the riverH2975; and herH7971 maidensH5291 walkedH1980 alongH5921 by the riverH2975 sideH3027; and sheH1980 sawH7200 the arkH8392 among the flags, and sentH7971 herH7971 handmaidH519 to fetch it. 6And she openedH6605 it, and sawH7200 the childH3206: and, beholdH2009, the babe weptH1058. And she had compassionH2550 on him, and saidH559, This is one of the Hebrews’H5680 childrenH3206. 7Then saidH559 his sisterH269 to Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323, Shall I go and callH7121 thee a nurseH3243 of the HebrewH5680 womenH802, that sheH7121 may nurseH3243 the childH3206 for thee? 8And Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 saidH559 to herH7121, Go. And the maidH5959 went and calledH7121 the child’sH3206 motherH517. 9And Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 saidH559 unto herH3947, TakeH3947 this childH3206 awayH3947, and nurseH3243 it for meH5414, and I will giveH5414 thee thy wagesH7939. And the womanH802 tookH3947 the childH3206, and nursedH3243 it. 10And the childH3206 grewH1431, and sheH3588 broughtH935 him unto Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323, and he becameH1961 herH935 sonH1121. And sheH3588 calledH7121 his nameH8034 MosesH4872, and saidH559, BecauseH3588 I drewH4871 him outH4480 of the waterH4325. 11And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in thoseH376 daysH3117, when MosesH4872 was grownH1431 upH7200, that he wentH3318 outH3318 unto his brethrenH251, and lookedH7200 on their burdensH5450: and he sawH7200 an EgyptianH4713 smitingH5221 an HebrewH5680, one of his brethrenH251. 12And he lookedH7200 this wayH3541 and that wayH3541, and when he sawH7200 that there was noH369 manH376, he smoteH5221 the EgyptianH4713, and hidH2934 him in the sandH2344. 13And he wentH3318 outH3318 the secondH8145 dayH3117, and, beholdH2009, twoH8147 menH376 of the HebrewsH5680 strove together: and he saidH559 to him that didH4100 the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellowH376? 14And he saidH559, Who madeH7760 thee a princeH8269 and a judgeH8199 over usH5921? thinkest thou to killH2026 meH5921, as thou killedst the EgyptianH4713? And MosesH4872 fearedH3372, and saidH559, SurelyH403 the thingH1697 is knownH3045. 15NowH2088 when PharaohH6547 heardH8085 this thingH1697, he soughtH1245 to slayH2026 MosesH4872. But MosesH4872 fledH1272 from the faceH6440 of PharaohH6547, and dweltH3427 in the landH776 of MidianH4080: and he satH3427 downH3427 by a wellH875. 16NowH935 the priestH3548 of MidianH4080 had sevenH7651 daughtersH1323: and they cameH935 and drewH4390 waterH8248, and filledH4390 the troughs to waterH8248 their father’sH1 flockH6629. 17And the shepherdsH7462 cameH935 and droveH1644 them awayH1644: but MosesH4872 stoodH6965 upH6965 and helpedH3467 them, and wateredH8248 their flockH6629. 18And when they cameH935 to ReuelH7467 their fatherH1, he saidH559, How is it that ye are comeH935 soH935 soonH4116 todayH3117? 19And they saidH559, An EgyptianH4713 deliveredH5337 usH5337 outH3027 of the handH3027 of the shepherdsH7462, and moreoverH1571 he drew waterH8248 for usH5337, and wateredH8248 the flockH6629. 20And he saidH559 unto his daughtersH1323, And whereH346 is he? whyH4100 is it that ye have leftH5800 the manH376? callH7121 him, that he may eatH398 breadH3899. 21And MosesH4872 was content to dwellH3427 with the manH376: and he gaveH5414 MosesH4872 ZipporahH6855 his daughterH1323. 22And sheH3588 bare a sonH1121, and he calledH7121 his nameH8034 GershomH1647: for he saidH559, I have been a sojournerH1616 in a strange landH776. 23And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the course of thoseH1992 manyH7227 daysH3117, that the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 diedH4191: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sighedH584 by reason of the bondageH5656, and they criedH2199, and their cryH2199 cameH1961 upH5927 unto GodH430 by reason of the bondageH5656. 24And GodH430 heardH8085 their groaningH5009, and GodH430 rememberedH2142 his covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85, with IsaacH3327, and with JacobH3290. 25And GodH430 sawH7200 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and GodH430 tookH853 knowledgeH3045 of them.
