1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a
daughter of Levi. 2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and
when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark
of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the
child therein, and laid it in the flags by the river's brink. 4 And
his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him. 5 And
the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river; and her
maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the ark among the
flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it. 6 And she opened it, and
saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on
him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children. 7 Then said
his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call thee a nurse of
the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? 8 And
Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maiden went and called the
child's mother. 9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this
child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And
the woman took the child, and nursed it. 10 And the child grew, and
she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she
called his name Moses, and said, Because I drew him out of the water.
11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up,
that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he
saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren. 12 And he
looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he
smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. 13 And he went out the
second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews were striving together:
and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy
fellow? 14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us?
Thinkest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses
feared, and said, Surely the thing is known. 15 Now when Pharaoh
heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face
of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came
and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up
and helped them, and watered their flock. 18 And when they came to
Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to-day?
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the
shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.
20 And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? Why is it that
ye have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread. 21 And Moses
was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his
daughter. 22 And she bare a son, and he called his name Gershom;
for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.
23 And it came to pass in the course of those many days, that
the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of
the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason
of the bondage. 24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered
his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 25 And God
saw the children of Israel, and God took knowledge [of them].
