 2:1  And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took [to
wife] a daughter of Levi.
 2:2  And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw
him that he [was a] goodly [child], she hid him three months.
 2:3  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 put the child therein; and she laid [it] in the flags by
the river's brink.
 2:4  And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done
to him.
 2:5  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.
 2:6  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.
 2:7  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?
 2:8  And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went
and called the child's mother.
 2:9  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.
 2:10  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.
 2:11  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.
 2:12  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.
 2:13  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?
 2:14  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.
 2:15  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.
 2:16  Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they
came and drew [water], and filled the troughs to water their
father's flock.
 2:17  And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses
stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
 2:18  And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How
[is it that] ye are come so soon to day?
 2:19  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.
 2:20  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.
 2:21  And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave
Moses Zipporah his daughter.
 2:22  And she bare [him] a son, and he called his name
Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
 2:23  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.
 2:24  And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his
covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
 2:25  And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had
respect unto [them].
