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.

1 Now these428 are the names8034 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 which came935 into Egypt;4714 every man376 and his household1004 came935 with854 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 came out3318 of the loins3409 of Jacob3290 were1961 seventy7657 souls:5315 for Joseph3130 was1961 in Egypt4714 already.

6 And Joseph3130 died,4191 and all3605 his brethren,251 and all3605 that1931 generation.1755

7 And the children1121 of Israel3478 were fruitful,6509 and increased abundantly,8317 and multiplied,7235 and waxed exceeding mighty;6105 3966 3966 and the land776 was filled4390 with854 them.

8 Now there arose up6965 a new2319 king4428 over5921 Egypt,4714 which834 knew3045 not3808 853 Joseph.3130

9 And he said559 unto413 his people,5971 Behold,2009 the people5971 of the children1121 of Israel3478 are more7227 and mightier6099 than4480 we:

10 Come3051 on, let us deal wisely2449 with them; lest6435 they multiply,7235 and it come to pass,1961 that, when3588 there falleth out7122 any war,4421 they1931 join3254 also1571 unto5921 our enemies,8130 and fight3898 against us, and so get them up5927 out of4480 the land.776

11 Therefore they did set7760 over5921 them taskmasters8269 4522 to4616 afflict6031 them with their burdens.5450 And they built1129 for Pharaoh6547 treasure4543 cities,5892 853 Pithom6619 and Rameses.7486

12 But the more834 they afflicted6031 them, the more3651 they multiplied7235 and grew.3651 6555 And they were grieved6973 because4480 6440 of the children1121 of Israel.3478

13 And the Egyptians4714 made853 the children1121 of Israel3478 to serve5647 with rigor: 6531

14 And they made853 their lives2416 bitter4843 with hard7186 bondage,5656 in mortar,2563 and in brick,3843 and in all manner3605 of service5656 in the field:7704 853 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 ye do the office of a midwife3205 to853 the Hebrew women,5680 and see7200 them upon5921 the stools;70 if518 it1931 be a son,1121 then ye shall kill4191 him: but if518 it1931 be a daughter,1323 then she shall live.2425

17 But the midwives3205 feared3372 853 God,430 and did6213 not3808 as834 the king4428 of Egypt4714 commanded1696 413 them, but saved2421 853 the men children3206 alive.

18 And the king4428 of Egypt4714 called for7121 the midwives,3205 and said559 unto them, Why4069 have ye done6213 this2088 thing,1697 and have saved2421 853 the men children3206 alive?

19 And the midwives3205 said559 unto413 Pharaoh,6547 Because3588 the Hebrew women5680 are not3808 as the Egyptian4713 women;802 for3588 they2007 are lively,2422 and are delivered3205 ere2962 the midwives3205 come in935 unto413 them.

20 Therefore God430 dealt well3190 with the midwives:3205 and the people5971 multiplied,7235 and waxed very mighty.6105 3966

21 And it came to pass,1961 because3588 the midwives3205 feared3372 853 God,430 that he made6213 them houses.1004

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

Chapter 1

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

1 Now these428 are the names8034 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 which came935 into Egypt;4714 every man376 and his household1004 came935 with854 Jacob.3290

2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,

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

3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

3 Issachar,3485 Zebulun,2074 and Benjamin,1144

4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

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

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

5 And all3605 the souls5315 that came out3318 of the loins3409 of Jacob3290 were1961 seventy7657 souls:5315 for Joseph3130 was1961 in Egypt4714 already.

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

6 And Joseph3130 died,4191 and all3605 his brethren,251 and all3605 that1931 generation.1755

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

7 And the children1121 of Israel3478 were fruitful,6509 and increased abundantly,8317 and multiplied,7235 and waxed exceeding mighty;6105 3966 3966 and the land776 was filled4390 with854 them.

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

8 Now there arose up6965 a new2319 king4428 over5921 Egypt,4714 which834 knew3045 not3808 853 Joseph.3130

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

9 And he said559 unto413 his people,5971 Behold,2009 the people5971 of the children1121 of Israel3478 are more7227 and mightier6099 than4480 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.

10 Come3051 on, let us deal wisely2449 with them; lest6435 they multiply,7235 and it come to pass,1961 that, when3588 there falleth out7122 any war,4421 they1931 join3254 also1571 unto5921 our enemies,8130 and fight3898 against us, and so get them up5927 out of4480 the land.776

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.

11 Therefore they did set7760 over5921 them taskmasters8269 4522 to4616 afflict6031 them with their burdens.5450 And they built1129 for Pharaoh6547 treasure4543 cities,5892 853 Pithom6619 and Rameses.7486

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.

12 But the more834 they afflicted6031 them, the more3651 they multiplied7235 and grew.3651 6555 And they were grieved6973 because4480 6440 of the children1121 of Israel.3478

13 So the Egyptians oppressed the children of Israel severely;

13 And the Egyptians4714 made853 the children1121 of Israel3478 to serve5647 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.

14 And they made853 their lives2416 bitter4843 with hard7186 bondage,5656 in mortar,2563 and in brick,3843 and in all manner3605 of service5656 in the field:7704 853 all3605 their service,5656 wherein834 they made them serve,5647 was with rigor.6531

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;

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 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.

16 And he said,559 When ye do the office of a midwife3205 to853 the Hebrew women,5680 and see7200 them upon5921 the stools;70 if518 it1931 be a son,1121 then ye shall kill4191 him: but if518 it1931 be a daughter,1323 then she shall live.2425

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

17 But the midwives3205 feared3372 853 God,430 and did6213 not3808 as834 the king4428 of Egypt4714 commanded1696 413 them, but saved2421 853 the men children3206 alive.

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?

18 And the king4428 of Egypt4714 called for7121 the midwives,3205 and said559 unto them, Why4069 have ye done6213 this2088 thing,1697 and have saved2421 853 the men children3206 alive?

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.

19 And the midwives3205 said559 unto413 Pharaoh,6547 Because3588 the Hebrew women5680 are not3808 as the Egyptian4713 women;802 for3588 they2007 are lively,2422 and are delivered3205 ere2962 the midwives3205 come in935 unto413 them.

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

20 Therefore God430 dealt well3190 with the midwives:3205 and the people5971 multiplied,7235 and waxed very mighty.6105 3966

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

21 And it came to pass,1961 because3588 the midwives3205 feared3372 853 God,430 that he made6213 them houses.1004

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.

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