2:1 | And there went <03212> (8799) a man <0376> of the house <01004> of Levi <03878>, and took <03947> (8799) [to wife] a daughter <01323> of Levi <03878>. |
2:2 | And the woman <0802> conceived <02029> (8799), and bare <03205> (8799) a son <01121>: and when she saw <07200> (8799) him that he [was a] goodly <02896> [child], she hid <06845> (8799) him three <07969> months <03391>. |
2:3 | And when she could <03201> (8804) not longer <05750> hide <06845> (8687) him, she took <03947> (8799) for him an ark <08392> of bulrushes <01573>, and daubed <02560> (8799) it with slime <02564> and with pitch <02203>, and put <07760> (8799) the child <03206> therein; and she laid <07760> (8799) [it] in the flags <05488> by the river's <02975> brink <08193>. |
2:4 | And his sister <0269> stood <03320> (8691) afar off <07350>, to wit <03045> (8800) what would be done <06213> (8735) to him. |
2:5 | And the daughter <01323> of Pharaoh <06547> came down <03381> (8799) to wash <07364> (8800) [herself] at the river <02975>; and her maidens <05291> walked <01980> (8802) along by the river's <02975> side <03027>; and when she saw <07200> (8799) the ark <08392> among <08432> the flags <05488>, she sent <07971> (8799) her maid <0519> to fetch <03947> (8799) it. |
2:6 | And when she had opened <06605> (8799) [it], she saw <07200> (8799) the child <03206>: and, behold, the babe <05288> wept <01058> (8802). And she had compassion <02550> (8799) on him, and said <0559> (8799), This [is one] of the Hebrews <05680>' children <03206>. |
2:7 | Then said <0559> (8799) his sister <0269> to Pharaoh's <06547> daughter <01323>, Shall I go <03212> (8799) and call <07121> (8804) to thee a nurse <03243> (8688) of the Hebrew <05680> women <0802>, that she may nurse <03243> (8686) the child <03206> for thee? |
2:8 | And Pharaoh's <06547> daughter <01323> said <0559> (8799) to her, Go <03212> (8798). And the maid <05959> went <03212> (8799) and called <07121> (8799) the child's <03206> mother <0517>. |
2:9 | And Pharaoh's <06547> daughter <01323> said <0559> (8799) unto her, Take <03212> (0) this child <03206> away <03212> (8685), and nurse <03243> (8685) it for me, and I will give <05414> (8799) [thee] thy wages <07939>. And the woman <0802> took <03947> (8799) the child <03206>, and nursed <05134> (8686) it. |
2:10 | And the child <03206> grew <01431> (8799), and she brought <0935> (8686) him unto Pharaoh's <06547> daughter <01323>, and he became her son <01121>. And she called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Moses <04872>: and she said <0559> (8799), Because I drew <04871> (8804) him out of the water <04325>. {Moses: that is, Drawn out} |
2:11 | And it came to pass in those days <03117>, when Moses <04872> was grown <01431> (8799), that he went out <03318> (8799) unto his brethren <0251>, and looked <07200> (8799) on their burdens <05450>: and he spied <07200> (8799) an Egyptian <04713> <0376> smiting <05221> (8688) an Hebrew <05680>, one of his brethren <0251>. |
2:12 | And he looked <06437> (8799) this way <03541> and that way <03541>, and when he saw <07200> (8799) that [there was] no man <0376>, he slew <05221> (8686) the Egyptian <04713>, and hid <02934> (8799) him in the sand <02344>. |
2:13 | And when he went out <03318> (8799) the second <08145> day <03117>, behold, two <08147> men <0582> of the Hebrews <05680> strove <05327> (8737) together: and he said <0559> (8799) to him that did the wrong <07563>, Wherefore smitest <05221> (8686) thou thy fellow <07453>? |
2:14 | And he said <0559> (8799), Who made <07760> (8804) thee <0376> a prince <08269> and a judge <08199> (8802) over us? intendest <0559> (8802) thou to kill <02026> (8800) me, as thou killedst <02026> (8804) the Egyptian <04713>? And Moses <04872> feared <03372> (8799), and said <0559> (8799), Surely <0403> this thing <01697> is known <03045> (8738). {a prince: Heb. a man, a prince} |
2:15 | Now when Pharaoh <06547> heard <08085> (8799) this thing <01697>, he sought <01245> (8762) to slay <02026> (8800) Moses <04872>. But Moses <04872> fled <01272> (8799) from the face <06440> of Pharaoh <06547>, and dwelt <03427> (8799) in the land <0776> of Midian <04080>: and he sat down <03427> (8799) by a well <0875>. |
2:16 | Now the priest <03548> of Midian <04080> had seven <07651> daughters <01323>: and they came <0935> (8799) and drew <01802> (8799) [water], and filled <04390> (8762) the troughs <07298> to water <08248> (8687) their father's <01> flock <06629>. {priest: or, prince} |
2:17 | And the shepherds <07462> (8802) came <0935> (8799) and drove them away <01644> (8762): but Moses <04872> stood up <06965> (8799) and helped <03467> (8686) them, and watered <08248> (8686) their flock <06629>. |
2:18 | And when they came <0935> (8799) to Reuel <07467> their father <01>, he said <0559> (8799), How <04069> [is it that] ye are come <0935> (8800) so soon <04116> (8765) to day <03117>? {Reuel: called also Jethro, or, Jether} |
2:19 | And they said <0559> (8799), An Egyptian <04713> <0376> delivered <05337> (8689) us out of the hand <03027> of the shepherds <07462> (8802), and also drew <01802> (8804) [water] enough <01802> (8800) for us, and watered <08248> (8686) the flock <06629>. |
2:20 | And he said <0559> (8799) unto his daughters <01323>, And where [is] he? why [is] it [that] ye have left <05800> (8804) the man <0376>? call <07121> (8798) him, that he may eat <0398> (8799) bread <03899>. |
2:21 | And Moses <04872> was content <02974> (8686) to dwell <03427> (8800) with the man <0376>: and he gave <05414> (8799) Moses <04872> Zipporah <06855> his daughter <01323>. |
2:22 | And she bare <03205> (8799) [him] a son <01121>, and he called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Gershom <01647>: for he said <0559> (8804), I have been a stranger <01616> in a strange <05237> land <0776>. {Gershom: that is, A stranger here} |
2:23 | And it came to pass in process <01992> <07227> of time <03117>, that the king <04428> of Egypt <04714> died <04191> (8799): and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> sighed <0584> (8735) by reason of <04480> the bondage <05656>, and they cried <02199> (8799), and their cry <07775> came up <05927> (8799) unto God <0430> by reason of the bondage <05656>. |
2:24 | And God <0430> heard <08085> (8799) their groaning <05009>, and God <0430> remembered <02142> (8799) his covenant <01285> with Abraham <085>, with Isaac <03327>, and with Jacob <03290>. |
2:25 | And God <0430> looked <07200> (8799) upon the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and God <0430> had respect <03045> (8799) unto [them]. {had...: Heb. knew} |
