02_EXO_02_01 And there went a man of the house of Levi , and took [ to wife ] a daughter of Levi .
02_EXO_02_02 And the woman conceived , and bare a son : and when she saw him that he [ was a ] goodly [ child ] , she hid him three months .
02_EXO_02_03 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 .
02_EXO_02_04 And his sister stood afar off , to wit what would be done to him .
02_EXO_02_05 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 .
02_EXO_02_06 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 .
02_EXO_02_07 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 ?
02_EXO_02_08 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her , Go . And the maid went and called the child's mother .
02_EXO_02_09 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 .
02_EXO_02_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 .
02_EXO_02_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 .
02_EXO_02_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 .
02_EXO_02_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 ?
02_EXO_02_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 .
02_EXO_02_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 .
02_EXO_02_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 .
02_EXO_02_17 And the shepherds came and drove them away : but Moses stood up and helped them , and watered their flock .
02_EXO_02_18 And when they came to Reuel their father , he said , How [ is it that ] ye are come so soon to day ?
02_EXO_02_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 .
02_EXO_02_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 .
02_EXO_02_21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man : and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter .
02_EXO_02_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 .
02_EXO_02_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 .
02_EXO_02_24 And God heard their groaning , and God remembered his covenant with Abraham , with Isaac , and with Jacob .
02_EXO_02_25 And God looked upon the children of Israel , and God had respect unto [ them ] .
