Exodus 1

Israel Multiplies in Egypt

1

Now theseh428 are the  anamesh8034 of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 who cameh935 to Egypth4714 with Jacobh3290; they cameh935 eachh376 oneh376  1with his householdh1004:

2

Reubenh7205, Simeonh8095, Levih3878 and Judahh3063;

3

Issacharh3485, Zebulunh2074 and Benjaminh1144;

4

Danh1835 and Naphtalih5321, Gadh1410 and Asherh836.

5

Allh3605 the  1personsh5315 who cameh3318 from the loinsh3409 of Jacobh3290 were  aseventyh7657  2in numberh5315, but Josephh3130 was already in Egypth4714.

6

 aJosephh3130 diedh4191, and allh3605 his brothersh251 and allh3605 that generationh1755.

7

But the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478  awere fruitfulh6509 and  1increasedh8317 greatlyh8317, and multipliedh7235a, and becameh6105a exceedinglyh3966  2mightyh6105a, so that the landh776 was filledh4390 with them.

8

Now a newh2319  akingh4428 aroseh6965 overh5921 Egypth4714, whoh834 did not knowh3045 Josephh3130.

9

 aHe saidh559 to his peopleh5971a, "Beholdh2009, the peopleh5971a of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 are  1moreh7227a and mightierh6099 thanh4480 we.

10

"Comeh3051, let us  adealh2449 wiselyh2449 with them, orh6435 elseh6435 they will multiplyh7235a and  1in the eventh1961h3588h7122 of warh4421, they will alsoh1571 joinh3254 themselves to those whoh834 hateh8130 us, and fighth3898a against us and  2departh5927 from the landh776."

11

So they appointedh7760  ataskmastersh8269h4522 overh5921 them to afflicth6031a them with  1 bhardh5450 laborh5450. And they builth1129 for Pharaohh6547  cstorageh4543 citiesh5892b, Pithomh6619 and  dRaamsesh7486.

12

But the moreh3512c they afflictedh6031a them,  athe moreh3651 they multipliedh7235a and the moreh3651 they  1spreadh6555 out, so that they were in dreadh6973 of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478.

13

The Egyptiansh4714 compelled the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478  ato laborh5647 rigorouslyh6531;

14

and they madeh4843  atheir livesh2425b bitterh4843 with hardh7186 laborh5656 in mortarh2563a and bricksh3843 and at allh3605 kinds of laborh5656 in the fieldh7704, allh3605 their laborsh5656 whichh834 they rigorouslyh6531  1imposedh5647 on them.

15

Then the kingh4428 of Egypth4714 spokeh559 to the Hebrewh5680 midwivesh3205, oneh259 of whomh834  1was namedh8034 Shiphrahh8236 and the otherh8145  1was namedh8034 Puahh6326;

16

and he saidh559, "When you are helping the Hebrewh5680 womenh5680 to giveh3205 birthh3205 and seeh7200 them upon the birthstoolh70,  aifh518 it is a sonh1121, then you shall puth4191 him to deathh4191; but ifh518 it is a daughterh1323, then she shall liveh2421a."

17

But the midwivesh3205  1 afearedh3372a Godh430, and  bdid not doh6213a as the kingh4428 of Egypth4714 had  2commandedh1696 them, but let the boysh3206 liveh2421a.

18

So the kingh4428 of Egypth4714 calledh7121 for the midwivesh3205 and saidh559 to them, "Whyh4069 have you doneh6213a thish2088 thingh1697, and let the boysh3206 liveh2421a?"

19

The midwivesh3205 saidh559 to Pharaohh6547, "Becauseh3588 the Hebrewh5680 womenh5680 are not as the Egyptianh4713 womenh802; for they are vigoroush2422b and giveh3205 birthh3205 beforeh2962 the midwifeh3205  1canh935 geth935 to them."

20

So  aGodh430 was goodh3190 to the midwivesh3205, and  bthe peopleh5971a multipliedh7235a, and becameh6105a veryh3966  1mightyh6105a.

21

Becauseh3588 the midwivesh3205  1 afearedh3372a Godh430, He  2 bestablishedh6213a  3householdsh1004 for them.

22

Then Pharaohh6547 commandedh6680 allh3605 his peopleh5971a, sayingh559, " aEveryh3605 sonh1121 who is bornh3209  1you are to casth7993 into  bthe Nileh2975, and everyh3605 daughterh1323 you are to keeph2421a aliveh2421a."
