King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Now these[H428] are the names[H8034] of the children[H1121] of Israel,[H3478] which came[H935] into Egypt;[H4714] every man[H376] and his household[H1004] came[H935] with[H854] Jacob.[H3290]

2. Reuben,[H7205] Simeon,[H8095] Levi,[H3878] and Judah,[H3063]

3. Issachar,[H3485] Zebulun,[H2074] and Benjamin,[H1144]

4. Dan,[H1835] and Naphtali,[H5321] Gad,[H1410] and Asher.[H836]

5. And all[H3605] the souls[H5315] that came out[H3318] of the loins[H3409] of Jacob[H3290] were[H1961] seventy[H7657] souls:[H5315] for Joseph[H3130] was[H1961] in Egypt[H4714] already.

6. And Joseph[H3130] died,[H4191] and all[H3605] his brethren,[H251] and all[H3605] that[H1931] generation.[H1755]

7. And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] were fruitful,[H6509] and increased abundantly,[H8317] and multiplied,[H7235] and waxed exceeding mighty;[H6105] [H3966] [H3966] and the land[H776] was filled[H4390] with[H854] them.

8. Now there arose up[H6965] a new[H2319] king[H4428] over[H5921] Egypt,[H4714] which[H834] knew[H3045] not[H3808] [H853] Joseph.[H3130]

9. And he said[H559] unto[H413] his people,[H5971] Behold,[H2009] the people[H5971] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] are more[H7227] and mightier[H6099] than[H4480] we:

10. Come[H3051] on, let us deal wisely[H2449] with them; lest[H6435] they multiply,[H7235] and it come to pass,[H1961] that, when[H3588] there falleth out[H7122] any war,[H4421] they[H1931] join[H3254] also[H1571] unto[H5921] our enemies,[H8130] and fight[H3898] against us, and so get them up[H5927] out of[H4480] the land.[H776]

11. Therefore they did set[H7760] over[H5921] them taskmasters[H8269] [H4522] to[H4616] afflict[H6031] them with their burdens.[H5450] And they built[H1129] for Pharaoh[H6547] treasure[H4543] cities,[H5892] [H853] Pithom[H6619] and Rameses.[H7486]

12. But the more[H834] they afflicted[H6031] them, the more[H3651] they multiplied[H7235] and grew.[H3651] [H6555] And they were grieved[H6973] because[H4480] [H6440] of the children[H1121] of Israel.[H3478]

13. And the Egyptians[H4714] made[H853] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] to serve[H5647] with rigor: [H6531]

14. And they made[H853] their lives[H2416] bitter[H4843] with hard[H7186] bondage,[H5656] in mortar,[H2563] and in brick,[H3843] and in all manner[H3605] of service[H5656] in the field:[H7704] [H853] all[H3605] their service,[H5656] wherein[H834] they made them serve,[H5647] was with rigor.[H6531]

15. And the king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714] spoke[H559] to the Hebrew[H5680] midwives,[H3205] of which[H834] the name[H8034] of the one[H259] was Shiphrah,[H8236] and the name[H8034] of the other[H8145] Puah: [H6326]

16. And he said,[H559] When ye do the office of a midwife[H3205] to[H853] the Hebrew women,[H5680] and see[H7200] them upon[H5921] the stools;[H70] if[H518] it[H1931] be a son,[H1121] then ye shall kill[H4191] him: but if[H518] it[H1931] be a daughter,[H1323] then she shall live.[H2425]

17. But the midwives[H3205] feared[H3372] [H853] God,[H430] and did[H6213] not[H3808] as[H834] the king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714] commanded[H1696] [H413] them, but saved[H2421] [H853] the men children[H3206] alive.

18. And the king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714] called for[H7121] the midwives,[H3205] and said[H559] unto them, Why[H4069] have ye done[H6213] this[H2088] thing,[H1697] and have saved[H2421] [H853] the men children[H3206] alive?

19. And the midwives[H3205] said[H559] unto[H413] Pharaoh,[H6547] Because[H3588] the Hebrew women[H5680] are not[H3808] as the Egyptian[H4713] women;[H802] for[H3588] they[H2007] are lively,[H2422] and are delivered[H3205] ere[H2962] the midwives[H3205] come in[H935] unto[H413] them.

20. Therefore God[H430] dealt well[H3190] with the midwives:[H3205] and the people[H5971] multiplied,[H7235] and waxed very mighty.[H6105] [H3966]

21. And it came to pass,[H1961] because[H3588] the midwives[H3205] feared[H3372] [H853] God,[H430] that he made[H6213] them houses.[H1004]

22. And Pharaoh[H6547] charged[H6680] all[H3605] his people,[H5971] saying,[H559] Every[H3605] son[H1121] that is born[H3209] ye shall cast[H7993] into the river,[H2975] and every[H3605] daughter[H1323] ye shall save alive.[H2421]
