Exodus 2:8-17

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.
