02_EXO_02_01 And there went A man of the house of Levi , And took [ to wife ] A daughter of Levi .
02_EXO_02_02 And the woman conceived , And bare A son : And when she saw him that he [ was A ] goodly [ child ] , she hid him three months .
02_EXO_02_03 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 put the child therein ; And she laid [ it ] in the flags by the river's brink .
02_EXO_02_04 And his sister stood afar off , to wit what would be done to him .
02_EXO_02_05 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to Wash [ herself ] at the river ; And her maidens walked along by the river's side ; And when she saw the ark among the flags , she sent her maid to fetch it .
02_EXO_02_06 And when she had opened [ it ] , she saw the child : And , behold , the babe wept . And she had compassion on him , And said , this [ Is one ] of the Hebrews' children .
02_EXO_02_07 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter , shall I go And call to thee A nurse of the Hebrew women , that she may nurse the child for thee ?
02_EXO_02_08 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her , go . And the maid went And called the child's mother .
02_EXO_02_09 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 .
02_EXO_02_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 she said , because I drew him out of the water .
02_EXO_02_11 And it came to pass in those days , when Moses was grown , that he went out unto his brethren , And looked on their burdens : And he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew , one of his brethren .
02_EXO_02_12 And he looked this way And that way , And when he saw that [ there was ] no man , he slew the Egyptian , And hid him in the sand .
02_EXO_02_13 And when he went out the second day , behold , two men of the Hebrews strove together : And he said to him that did the wrong , Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow ?
02_EXO_02_14 And he said , who made thee A prince And A judge over us ? intendest thou to kill me , as thou killedst the Egyptian ? And Moses feared , And said , surely this thing Is known .
02_EXO_02_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 .
02_EXO_02_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 .
02_EXO_02_17 And the shepherds came And drove them away : but Moses stood up And helped them , And watered their flock .
02_EXO_02_18 And when they came to Reuel their Father , he said , how [ Is it that ] ye are come So soon to day ?
02_EXO_02_19 And they said , an Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds , And also drew [ water ] enough for us , And watered the flock .
02_EXO_02_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 .
02_EXO_02_21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man : And he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter .
02_EXO_02_22 And she bare [ him ] A son , And he called his name Gershom : for he said , I have been A stranger in A strange land .
02_EXO_02_23 And it came to pass in process of time , 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 .
02_EXO_02_24 And God heard their groaning , And God remembered his covenant with Abraham , with Isaac , And with Jacob .
02_EXO_02_25 And God looked upon the children of Israel , And God had respect unto [ them ] .
