Exodus

Chapter 1

1 Now these428 are the names8034 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 which came935 into Egypt;4714 every man376 and his household1004 came935 with Jacob.3290

2 Reuben,7205 Simeon,8095 Levi,3878 and Judah,3063

3 Issachar,3485 Zebulun,2074 and Benjamin,1144

4 Dan,1835 and Naphtali,5321 Gad,1410 and Asher.836

5 And all3605 the souls5315 that came3318 out of the loins3409 of Jacob3290 were seventy7657 souls:5315 for Joseph3130 was in Egypt4714 already.

6 And Joseph3130 died,4191 and all3605 his brothers,251 and all3605 that generation.1755

7 And the children1121 of Israel3478 were fruitful,6509 and increased8317 abundantly,8317 and multiplied,7235 and waxed exceeding3966 mighty;6105 and the land776 was filled4390 with them.

8 Now there arose6965 up a new2319 king4428 over5921 Egypt,4714 which834 knew3045 not Joseph.3130

9 And he said559 to his people,5971 Behold,2009 the people5971 of the children1121 of Israel3478 are more7227 and mightier6099 than we:

10 Come3051 on, let us deal wisely2449 with them; lest6435 they multiply,7235 and it come1961 to pass, that, when3588 there falls7122 out any war,4421 they join3254 also1571 to our enemies,8130 and fight3898 against us, and so get5927 them up out of the land.776

11 Therefore they did set7760 over5921 them taskmasters8269 4522 to afflict6031 them with their burdens.5450 And they built1129 for Pharaoh6547 treasure4543 cities,5892 Pithom6619 and Raamses.7486

12 But the more3651 they afflicted6031 them, the more3651 they multiplied7235 and grew.6555 And they were grieved6973 because6440 of the children1121 of Israel.3478

13 And the Egyptians4714 made the children1121 of Israel3478 to serve5647 with rigor:6531

14 And they made their lives2416 bitter4843 with hard7186 bondage,5656 in mortar,2563 and in brick,3843 and in all3605 manner of service5656 in the field:7704 all3605 their service,5656 wherein834 they made them serve,5647 was with rigor.6531

15 And the king4428 of Egypt4714 spoke559 to the Hebrew5680 midwives,3205 of which834 the name8034 of the one259 was Shiphrah,8236 and the name8034 of the other8145 Puah:6326

16 And he said,559 When you do the office of a midwife3205 to the Hebrew5680 women, and see7200 them on the stools;70 if it be a son,1121 then you shall kill4191 him: but if518 it be a daughter,1323 then she shall live.2425

17 But the midwives3205 feared3372 God,430 and did6213 not as the king4428 of Egypt4714 commanded1696 them, but saved2421 the men children3206 alive.2421

18 And the king4428 of Egypt4714 called7121 for the midwives,3205 and said559 to them, Why4069 have you done6213 this2088 thing,1697 and have saved2421 the men children3206 alive?2421

19 And the midwives3205 said559 to Pharaoh,6547 Because3588 the Hebrew5680 women802 are not as the Egyptian4713 women;802 for they are lively,2422 and are delivered3205 ere2962 the midwives3205 come935 in to them.

20 Therefore God430 dealt well3190 with the midwives:3205 and the people5971 multiplied,7235 and waxed very3966 mighty.6105

21 And it came1961 to pass, because3588 the midwives3205 feared3372 God,430 that he made6213 them houses.1004

22 And Pharaoh6547 charged6680 all3605 his people,5971 saying,559 Every3605 son1121 that is born3209 you shall cast7993 into the river,2975 and every3605 daughter1323 you shall save2421 alive.2421

Exodus

Chapter 1

1 THESE are the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob:

2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,

3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

5 And all the persons that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy persons; for Joseph was in Egypt already.

6 And Joseph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation.

7 And the children of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly, and multiplied and grew exceedingly strong; and the land was filled with them.

8 Now there rose up a new king over Egypt who knew not Joseph.

9 And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more numerous and stronger than we;

10 Come, let us deal wisely with them, before they multiply, lest when we chance to be at war, they will be added also to our enemies, and fight against us, and so drive us out of the land.

11 Therefore they appointed over them cruel taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh cities with storehouses, Pithom and Raamses.

12 But the more they oppressed them, the more they multiplied and became strong. And the Egyptians were grieved because of the children of Israel.

13 So the Egyptians oppressed the children of Israel severely;

14 And they made their lives bitter with hard labor, in mortar and in bricks and in all manner of work in the field; all their service wherein they made them serve was with rigor.

15 And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Puah and the name of the other Shoprah;

16 And he said to them, When you do perform your duties as midwives to the Hebrew women, look out when they kneel to deliver; if it is a male, then you must kill him; but if it is a female, then let her live.

17 But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the boys live.

18 So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, Why have you done this thing, and let the boys live?

19 And the midwives said to Pharaoh, The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they themselves are midwives, and are delivered before a midwife comes in to them.

20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives, because they spared the males; and the people multiplied, and grew exceedingly strong.

21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, he blessed them with families.

22 And Pharaoh charged all the people, saying, Every son that is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.

5 And all the persons that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy persons; for Joseph was in Egypt already.

6 And Joseph3130 died,4191 and all3605 his brothers,251 and all3605 that generation.1755

6 And Joseph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation.

7 And the children1121 of Israel3478 were fruitful,6509 and increased8317 abundantly,8317 and multiplied,7235 and waxed exceeding3966 mighty;6105 and the land776 was filled4390 with them.

7 And the children of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly, and multiplied and grew exceedingly strong; and the land was filled with them.

8 Now there arose6965 up a new2319 king4428 over5921 Egypt,4714 which834 knew3045 not Joseph.3130

8 Now there rose up a new king over Egypt who knew not Joseph.

9 And he said559 to his people,5971 Behold,2009 the people5971 of the children1121 of Israel3478 are more7227 and mightier6099 than we:

9 And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more numerous and stronger than we;

10 Come, let us deal wisely with them, before they multiply, lest when we chance to be at war, they will be added also to our enemies, and fight against us, and so drive us out of the land.

11 Therefore they did set7760 over5921 them taskmasters8269 4522 to afflict6031 them with their burdens.5450 And they built1129 for Pharaoh6547 treasure4543 cities,5892 Pithom6619 and Raamses.7486

11 Therefore they appointed over them cruel taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh cities with storehouses, Pithom and Raamses.

12 But the more3651 they afflicted6031 them, the more3651 they multiplied7235 and grew.6555 And they were grieved6973 because6440 of the children1121 of Israel.3478

12 But the more they oppressed them, the more they multiplied and became strong. And the Egyptians were grieved because of the children of Israel.

13 And the Egyptians4714 made the children1121 of Israel3478 to serve5647 with rigor:6531

13 So the Egyptians oppressed the children of Israel severely;

14 And they made their lives2416 bitter4843 with hard7186 bondage,5656 in mortar,2563 and in brick,3843 and in all3605 manner of service5656 in the field:7704 all3605 their service,5656 wherein834 they made them serve,5647 was with rigor.6531

14 And they made their lives bitter with hard labor, in mortar and in bricks and in all manner of work in the field; all their service wherein they made them serve was with rigor.

15 And the king4428 of Egypt4714 spoke559 to the Hebrew5680 midwives,3205 of which834 the name8034 of the one259 was Shiphrah,8236 and the name8034 of the other8145 Puah:6326

15 And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Puah and the name of the other Shoprah;

16 And he said,559 When you do the office of a midwife3205 to the Hebrew5680 women, and see7200 them on the stools;70 if it be a son,1121 then you shall kill4191 him: but if518 it be a daughter,1323 then she shall live.2425

16 And he said to them, When you do perform your duties as midwives to the Hebrew women, look out when they kneel to deliver; if it is a male, then you must kill him; but if it is a female, then let her live.

17 But the midwives3205 feared3372 God,430 and did6213 not as the king4428 of Egypt4714 commanded1696 them, but saved2421 the men children3206 alive.2421

17 But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the boys live.

18 And the king4428 of Egypt4714 called7121 for the midwives,3205 and said559 to them, Why4069 have you done6213 this2088 thing,1697 and have saved2421 the men children3206 alive?2421

18 So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, Why have you done this thing, and let the boys live?

19 And the midwives3205 said559 to Pharaoh,6547 Because3588 the Hebrew5680 women802 are not as the Egyptian4713 women;802 for they are lively,2422 and are delivered3205 ere2962 the midwives3205 come935 in to them.

19 And the midwives said to Pharaoh, The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they themselves are midwives, and are delivered before a midwife comes in to them.

20 Therefore God430 dealt well3190 with the midwives:3205 and the people5971 multiplied,7235 and waxed very3966 mighty.6105

20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives, because they spared the males; and the people multiplied, and grew exceedingly strong.

21 And it came1961 to pass, because3588 the midwives3205 feared3372 God,430 that he made6213 them houses.1004

21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, he blessed them with families.

22 And Pharaoh6547 charged6680 all3605 his people,5971 saying,559 Every3605 son1121 that is born3209 you shall cast7993 into the river,2975 and every3605 daughter1323 you shall save2421 alive.2421

22 And Pharaoh charged all the people, saying, Every son that is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.
