2:1 And there went 3212 8799 a man 376 of the house 1004 of Levi 3878, and took 3947 8799 [to wife] a daughter 1323 of Levi 3878.

2:2 And the woman 802 conceived 2029 8799, and bare 3205 8799 a son 1121: and when she saw 7200 8799 him that he [was a] goodly 2896 [child], she hid 6845 8799 him three 7969 months 3391.

2:3 And when she could 3201 8804 not longer 5750 hide 6845 8687 him, she took 3947 8799 for him an ark 8392 of bulrushes 1573, and daubed 2560 8799 it with slime 2564 and with pitch 2203, and put 7760 8799 the child 3206 therein; and she laid 7760 8799 [it] in the flags 5488 by the river's 2975 brink 8193.

2:4 And his sister 269 stood 3320 8691 afar off 7350, to wit 3045 8800 what would be done 6213 8735 to him.

2:5 And the daughter 1323 of Pharaoh 6547 came down 3381 8799 to wash 7364 8800 [herself] at the river 2975; and her maidens 5291 walked 1980 8802 along by the river's 2975 side 3027; and when she saw 7200 8799 the ark 8392 among 8432 the flags 5488, she sent 7971 8799 her maid 519 to fetch 3947 8799 it.

2:6 And when she had opened 6605 8799 [it], she saw 7200 8799 the child 3206: and, behold, the babe 5288 wept 1058 8802. And she had compassion 2550 8799 on him, and said 559 8799, This [is one] of the Hebrews' 5680 children 3206.

2:7 Then said 559 8799 his sister 269 to Pharaoh's 6547 daughter 1323, Shall I go 3212 8799 and call 7121 8804 to thee a nurse 3243 8688 of the Hebrew 5680 women 802, that she may nurse 3243 8686 the child 3206 for thee?

2:8 And Pharaoh's 6547 daughter 1323 said 559 8799 to her, Go 3212 8798. And the maid 5959 went 3212 8799 and called 7121 8799 the child's 3206 mother 517.

2:9 And Pharaoh's 6547 daughter 1323 said 559 8799 unto her, Take 3212 0 this child 3206 away 3212 8685, and nurse 3243 8685 it for me, and I will give 5414 8799 [thee] thy wages 7939. And the woman 802 took 3947 8799 the child 3206, and nursed 5134 8686 it.

2:10 And the child 3206 grew 1431 8799, and she brought 935 8686 him unto Pharaoh's 6547 daughter 1323, and he became her son 1121. And she called 7121 8799 his name 8034 Moses 4872: and she said 559 8799, Because I drew 4871 8804 him out of the water 4325.(Moses: that is, Drawn out)

2:11 And it came to pass in those days 3117, when Moses 4872 was grown 1431 8799, that he went out 3318 8799 unto his brethren 251, and looked 7200 8799 on their burdens 5450: and he spied 7200 8799 an Egyptian 4713 376 smiting 5221 8688 an Hebrew 5680, one of his brethren 251.

2:12 And he looked 6437 8799 this way 3541 and that way 3541, and when he saw 7200 8799 that [there was] no man 376, he slew 5221 8686 the Egyptian 4713, and hid 2934 8799 him in the sand 2344.

2:13 And when he went out 3318 8799 the second 8145 day 3117, behold, two 8147 men 582 of the Hebrews 5680 strove 5327 8737 together: and he said 559 8799 to him that did the wrong 7563, Wherefore smitest 5221 8686 thou thy fellow 7453?

2:14 And he said 559 8799, Who made 7760 8804 thee 376 a prince 8269 and a judge 8199 8802 over us? intendest 559 8802 thou to kill 2026 8800 me, as thou killedst 2026 8804 the Egyptian 4713? And Moses 4872 feared 3372 8799, and said 559 8799, Surely 403 this thing 1697 is known 3045 8738.(a prince: Heb. a man, a prince)

2:15 Now when Pharaoh 6547 heard 8085 8799 this thing 1697, he sought 1245 8762 to slay 2026 8800 Moses 4872. But Moses 4872 fled 1272 8799 from the face 6440 of Pharaoh 6547, and dwelt 3427 8799 in the land 776 of Midian 4080: and he sat down 3427 8799 by a well 875.

2:16 Now the priest 3548 of Midian 4080 had seven 7651 daughters 1323: and they came 935 8799 and drew 1802 8799 [water], and filled 4390 8762 the troughs 7298 to water 8248 8687 their father's 1 flock 6629.(priest: or, prince)

2:17 And the shepherds 7462 8802 came 935 8799 and drove them away 1644 8762: but Moses 4872 stood up 6965 8799 and helped 3467 8686 them, and watered 8248 8686 their flock 6629.

2:18 And when they came 935 8799 to Reuel 7467 their father 1, he said 559 8799, How 4069 [is it that] ye are come 935 8800 so soon 4116 8765 to day 3117?(Reuel: called also Jethro, or, Jether)

2:19 And they said 559 8799, An Egyptian 4713 376 delivered 5337 8689 us out of the hand 3027 of the shepherds 7462 8802, and also drew 1802 8804 [water] enough 1802 8800 for us, and watered 8248 8686 the flock 6629.

2:20 And he said 559 8799 unto his daughters 1323, And where [is] he? why [is] it [that] ye have left 5800 8804 the man 376? call 7121 8798 him, that he may eat 398 8799 bread 3899.

2:21 And Moses 4872 was content 2974 8686 to dwell 3427 8800 with the man 376: and he gave 5414 8799 Moses 4872 Zipporah 6855 his daughter 1323.

2:22 And she bare 3205 8799 [him] a son 1121, and he called 7121 8799 his name 8034 Gershom 1647: for he said 559 8804, I have been a stranger 1616 in a strange 5237 land 776.(Gershom: that is, A stranger here)

2:23 And it came to pass in process 1992 7227 of time 3117, that the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 died 4191 8799: and the children 1121 of Israel 3478 sighed 584 8735 by reason of 4480 the bondage 5656, and they cried 2199 8799, and their cry 7775 came up 5927 8799 unto God 430 by reason of the bondage 5656.

2:24 And God 430 heard 8085 8799 their groaning 5009, and God 430 remembered 2142 8799 his covenant 1285 with Abraham 85, with Isaac 3327, and with Jacob 3290.

2:25 And God 430 looked 7200 8799 upon the children 1121 of Israel 3478, and God 430 had respect 3045 8799 unto [them].(had…: Heb. knew)
