1And there went3212 a man376 of the house1004 of Levi3878, and took3947 to wife a daughter1323 of Levi3878.
2And the woman802 conceived2029, and bare3205 a son1121: and when she saw7200 him that he was a goodly2896 child, she hid6845 him three7969 months3391.
3And when she could3201 not longer5750 hide6845 him, she took3947 for him an ark8392 of bulrushes1573, and daubed2560 it with slime2564 and with pitch2203, and put7760 the child3206 therein; and she laid7760 it in the flags5488 by the river's2975 brink8193.
4And his sister269 stood3320 afar off7350, to wit3045 what would be done6213 to him.
5And the daughter1323 of Pharaoh6547 came down3381 to wash7364 herself at the river2975; and her maidens5291 walked1980 along by the river's2975 side3027; and when she saw7200 the ark8392 among8432 the flags5488, she sent7971 her maid519 to fetch3947 it.
6And when she had opened6605 it, she saw7200 the child3206: and, behold, the babe5288 wept1058. And she had compassion2550 on him, and said559, This is one of the Hebrews'5680 children3206.
7Then said559 his sister269 to Pharaoh's6547 daughter1323, Shall I go3212 and call7121 to thee a nurse3243 of the Hebrew5680 women802, that she may nurse3243 the child3206 for thee?
8And Pharaoh's6547 daughter1323 said559 to her, Go3212. And the maid5959 went3212 and called7121 the child's3206 mother517.
9And Pharaoh's6547 daughter1323 said559 unto her, Take3212 this child3206 away3212, and nurse3243 it for me, and I will give5414 thee thy wages7939. And the woman802 took3947 the child3206, and nursed5134 it.
10And the child3206 grew1431, and she brought935 him unto Pharaoh's6547 daughter1323, and he became her son1121. And she called7121 his name8034 Moses4872: and she said559, Because I drew4871 him out of the water4325.
11And it came to pass in those days3117, when Moses4872 was grown1431, that he went out3318 unto his brethren251, and looked7200 on their burdens5450: and he spied7200 an Egyptian4713 376 smiting5221 an Hebrew5680, one of his brethren251.
12And he looked6437 this way3541 and that way3541, and when he saw7200 that there was no man376, he slew5221 the Egyptian4713, and hid2934 him in the sand2344.
13And when he went out3318 the second8145 day3117, behold, two8147 men582 of the Hebrews5680 strove5327 together: and he said559 to him that did the wrong7563, Wherefore smitest5221 thou thy fellow7453?
14And he said559, Who made7760 thee376 a prince8269 and a judge8199 over us? intendest559 thou to kill2026 me, as thou killedst2026 the Egyptian4713? And Moses4872 feared3372, and said559, Surely403 this thing1697 is known3045.
15Now when Pharaoh6547 heard8085 this thing1697, he sought1245 to slay2026 Moses4872. But Moses4872 fled1272 from the face6440 of Pharaoh6547, and dwelt3427 in the land776 of Midian4080: and he sat down3427 by a well875.
16Now the priest3548 of Midian4080 had seven7651 daughters1323: and they came935 and drew1802 water, and filled4390 the troughs7298 to water8248 their father's1 flock6629.
17And the shepherds7462 came935 and drove them away1644: but Moses4872 stood up6965 and helped3467 them, and watered8248 their flock6629.
18And when they came935 to Reuel7467 their father1, he said559, How4069 is it that ye are come935 so soon4116 to day3117?
19And they said559, An Egyptian4713 376 delivered5337 us out of the hand3027 of the shepherds7462, and also drew1802 water enough1802 for us, and watered8248 the flock6629.
20And he said559 unto his daughters1323, And where is he? why is it that ye have left5800 the man376? call7121 him, that he may eat398 bread3899.
21And Moses4872 was content2974 to dwell3427 with the man376: and he gave5414 Moses4872 Zipporah6855 his daughter1323.
22And she bare3205 him a son1121, and he called7121 his name8034 Gershom1647: for he said559, I have been a stranger1616 in a strange5237 land776.
23And it came to pass in process1992 7227 of time3117, that the king4428 of Egypt4714 died4191: and the children1121 of Israel3478 sighed584 by reason of4480 the bondage5656, and they cried2199, and their cry7775 came up5927 unto God430 by reason of the bondage5656.
24And God430 heard8085 their groaning5009, and God430 remembered2142 his covenant1285 with Abraham85, with Isaac3327, and with Jacob3290.
25And God430 looked7200 upon the children1121 of Israel3478, and God430 had respect3045 unto them.
