Now a manh376 from  athe househ1004 of Levih3878 wenth1980 and  1marriedh3947 a daughterh1323 of Levih3878.

2

The womanh802 conceivedh2029 and boreh3205 a sonh1121; and when she sawh7200  1that he was  2 abeautifulh2896a, she hidh6845 him for threeh7969 monthsh3391.

3

But when she couldh3201 hideh6845 him noh3808 longerh5750, she goth3947 him a  1 awickerh1573  2basketh8392 and coveredh2560b it over with tarh2564 and pitchh2203a. Then she puth7760 the childh3206 into it and seth7760 it among the  breedsh5488 by the bankh8193 of the Nileh2975.

4

 aHis sisterh269 stoodh3320 at a distanceh7350 to  1findh3045 out whath4100 would  2happenh6213a to him.

5

The daughterh1323 of Pharaohh6547 cameh3381 downh3381  ato batheh7364 at the Nileh2975, with her maidensh5291 walkingh1980 alongsideh5921h3027 the Nileh2975; and she sawh7200 the  1basketh8392 amongh8432 the reedsh5488 and senth7971 her maidh519, and she broughth3947 it to her.

6

When she openedh6605a it, she  1sawh7200 the childh3206, and beholdh2009, the  2boyh5288 was cryingh1058. And she hadh2550 pityh2550 on him and saidh559, "Thish2088 is oneh4480 of the Hebrews'h5680 childrenh3206."

7

Then his sisterh269 saidh559 to Pharaoh'sh6547 daughterh1323, "Shall I goh1980 and callh7121  1a nurseh3243 for you from the Hebrewh5680 womenh5680 that she may nurseh3243 the childh3206 for you?"

8

Pharaoh'sh6547 daughterh1323 saidh559 to her, "Goh1980 ahead." So the girlh5959 wenth1980 and calledh7121 the child'sh3206 motherh517.

9

Then Pharaoh'sh6547 daughterh1323 saidh559 to her, "Takeh1980 thish2088 childh3206 away and nurseh3243 him for me and I will giveh5414 you your wagesh7939." So the womanh802 tookh3947 the childh3206 and nursedh5134 him.

10

The childh3206 grewh1431, and she broughth935 him to Pharaoh'sh6547 daughterh1323 and  ahe becameh1961 her sonh1121. And she namedh7121h8034 him  1Mosesh4872, and saidh559, "Becauseh3588 I  2drewh4871 him out of the waterh4325."

11

Now it cameh1961 about in thoseh1992a daysh3117,  awhen Mosesh4872 had grownh1431 up, that he wenth3318 out to his brethrenh251 and lookedh7200 on their  1 bhardh5450 laborsh5450; and  che sawh7200 an Egyptianh4713 beatingh5221 a Hebrewh5680, oneh4480 of his brethrenh251.

12

So he  1lookedh6437 thish3541 wayh3541 and that, and when he sawh7200 thereh369 was noh369 oneh376 around, he  astruckh5221 downh5221 the Egyptianh4713 and hidh2934 him in the sandh2344.

13

He wenth3318 out  athe nexth8145 dayh3117, and beholdh2009, twoh8147 Hebrewsh5680 were  1fightingh5327b with each other; and he saidh559 to the  2offenderh7563, "Whyh4100 are you strikingh5221 your companionh7453?"

14

But he saidh559, " aWhoh4310 madeh7760 you a  1princeh8269 or a judgeh8199 overh5921 us? Are you  2intendingh559 to killh2026 me as you killedh2026 the Egyptianh4713?" Then Mosesh4872 was afraidh3372a and saidh559, "Surelyh403 the matterh1697 has become knownh3045."

Moses Escapes to Midian

15

When Pharaohh6547 heardh8085 of thish2088 matterh1697, he triedh1245 to killh2026 Mosesh4872. But  aMosesh4872 fledh1272 from the presenceh6440 of Pharaohh6547 and  1settledh3427 in the landh776 of Midianh4080, and he sath3427 downh3427  bby a wellh875.

16

Now  athe priesth3548 of Midianh4080 had sevenh7651 daughtersh1323; and  bthey cameh935 to drawh1802a waterh1802a and filledh4390 the troughsh7298a to waterh8248 their father'sh1 flockh6629.

17

Then the shepherdsh7462a cameh935 and droveh1644 them awayh1644, but  aMosesh4872 stoodh6965 up and helpedh3467 them and wateredh8248 their flockh6629.

18

When they cameh935 to  aReuelh7467 their fatherh1, he saidh559, "Whyh4069 have you comeh935 back so soonh4116 todayh3117?"

19

So they saidh559, "An Egyptianh4713 deliveredh5337 us from the handh3027 of the shepherdsh7462a, and whath1571 is moreh1571, he evenh1571 drewh1802a the waterh1802a for us and wateredh8248 the flockh6629."

20

He saidh559 to his daughtersh1323, "Whereh335 is he then? Whyh4100 is it that you have lefth5800a the manh376 behindh5800a? Inviteh7121 him  1to have somethingh3899 to eath398."

21

 aMosesh4872 was willingh2974 to dwellh3427 with the manh376, and he gaveh5414 his daughterh1323  bZipporahh6855 to Mosesh4872.

22

Then she gaveh3205 birthh3205 to  aa sonh1121, and he namedh7121h8034 him  1Gershomh1647, for he saidh559, "I have beenh1961  ba  2sojournerh1616 in a foreignh5237 landh776."

23

Now it cameh1961 about in the course of thoseh1992a manyh7227a daysh3117 that the kingh4428 of Egypth4714 diedh4191. And the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478  asighedh584 becauseh4480 of the bondageh5656, and they criedh2199 out; and  btheir cryh7775 for helph7775 becauseh4480 of their bondageh5656 roseh5927 up to Godh430.

24

So  aGodh430 heardh8085 their groaningh5009; and Godh430 rememberedh2142  bHis covenanth1285 with Abrahamh85, Isaach3327, and Jacobh3290.

25

 aGodh430 sawh7200 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478, and Godh430  1tookh3045 noticeh3045 of them.
