KJV_Strong : Exodus 2
1. And there went[H1980] a man[H376] of the house[H4480] [H1004] of Levi,[H3878] and took[H3947] to wife a[H853] daughter[H1323] of Levi.[H3878]
2. And the woman[H802] conceived,[H2029] and bore[H3205] a son:[H1121] and when she saw[H7200] him that[H3588] he[H1931] was a goodly[H2896] child, she hid[H6845] him three[H7969] months.[H3391]
3. And when she could[H3201] not[H3808] longer[H5750] hide[H6845] him, she took[H3947] for him an ark[H8392] of bulrushes,[H1573] and daubed[H2560] it with slime[H2564] and with pitch,[H2203] and put[H7760] [H853] the child[H3206] therein; and she laid[H7760] it in the flags[H5488] by[H5921] the river's[H2975] brink.[H8193]
4. And his sister[H269] stood[H3320] afar off,[H4480] [H7350] to know[H3045] what[H4100] would be done[H6213] to him.
5. And the daughter[H1323] of Pharaoh[H6547] came down[H3381] to wash[H7364] herself at[H5921] the river;[H2975] and her maidens[H5291] walked along[H1980] by[H5921] the river's[H2975] side;[H3027] and when she saw[H7200] [H853] the ark[H8392] among[H8432] the flags,[H5488] she sent[H7971] [H853] her maid[H519] to fetch[H3947] it.
6. And when she had opened[H6605] it, she saw[H7200] [H853] the child:[H3206] and, behold,[H2009] the babe[H5288] wept.[H1058] And she had compassion[H2550] on[H5921] him, and said,[H559] This[H2088] is one of the Hebrews' children.[H4480] [H3206] [H5680]
7. Then said[H559] his sister[H269] to[H413] Pharaoh's[H6547] daughter,[H1323] Shall I go[H1980] and call[H7121] to thee a nurse[H802] [H3243] of[H4480] the Hebrew women,[H5680] that she may nurse[H3243] [H853] the child[H3206] for thee?
8. And Pharaoh's[H6547] daughter[H1323] said[H559] to her, Go.[H1980] And the maid[H5959] went[H1980] and called[H7121] the child's[H3206] [H853] mother.[H517]
9. And Pharaoh's[H6547] daughter[H1323] said[H559] unto her, Take this child away,[H1980] [H853] [H2088] [H3206] and nurse[H3243] it for me, and I[H589] will give[H5414] thee[H853] thy wages.[H7939] And the woman[H802] took[H3947] the child,[H3206] and nursed[H5134] it.
10. And the child[H3206] grew,[H1431] and she brought[H935] him unto Pharaoh's[H6547] daughter,[H1323] and he became[H1961] her son.[H1121] And she called[H7121] his name[H8034] Moses:[H4872] and she said,[H559] Because[H3588] I drew[H4871] him out of[H4480] the water.[H4325]
11. And it came to pass[H1961] in those[H1992] days,[H3117] when Moses[H4872] was grown,[H1431] that he went out[H3318] unto[H413] his brethren,[H251] and looked[H7200] on their burdens:[H5450] and he spied[H7200] an Egyptian[H376] [H4713] smiting[H5221] a Hebrew,[H376] [H5680] one of his brethren.[H4480] [H251]
12. And he looked[H6437] this way[H3541] and that way,[H3541] and when he saw[H7200] that[H3588] there was no[H369] man,[H376] he slew[H5221] [H853] the Egyptian,[H4713] and hid[H2934] him in the sand.[H2344]
13. And when he went out[H3318] the second[H8145] day,[H3117] behold,[H2009] two[H8147] men[H376] of the Hebrews[H5680] strove together:[H5327] and he said[H559] to him that did the wrong,[H7563] Wherefore[H4100] smitest[H5221] thou thy fellow?[H7453]
14. And he said,[H559] Who[H4310] made[H7760] thee a prince[H8269] and a judge[H8199] over[H5921] us? intendest[H559] thou[H859] to kill[H2026] me, as[H834] thou killedst[H2026] [H853] the Egyptian?[H4713] And Moses[H4872] feared,[H3372] and said,[H559] Surely[H403] this thing[H1697] is known.[H3045]
15. Now when Pharaoh[H6547] heard[H8085] this[H2088] [H853] thing,[H1697] he sought[H1245] to slay[H2026] [H853] Moses.[H4872] But Moses[H4872] fled[H1272] from the face[H4480] [H6440] of Pharaoh,[H6547] and dwelt[H3427] in the land[H776] of Midian:[H4080] and he sat down[H3427] by[H5921] a well.[H875]
16. Now the priest[H3548] of Midian[H4080] had seven[H7651] daughters:[H1323] and they came[H935] and drew[H1802] water, and filled[H4390] [H853] the troughs[H7298] to water[H8248] their father's[H1] flock.[H6629]
17. And the shepherds[H7462] came[H935] and drove them away:[H1644] but Moses[H4872] stood up[H6965] and helped[H3467] them, and watered[H8248] [H853] their flock.[H6629]
18. And when they came[H935] to[H413] Reuel[H7467] their father,[H1] he said,[H559] How[H4069] is it that ye are come[H935] so soon[H4116] today?[H3117]
19. And they said,[H559] An Egyptian[H376] [H4713] delivered[H5337] us out of the hand[H4480] [H3027] of the shepherds,[H7462] and also[H1571] drew water enough[H1802] [H1802] for us, and watered[H8248] [H853] the flock.[H6629]
20. And he said[H559] unto[H413] his daughters,[H1323] And where[H346] is he? why[H4100] is it[H2088] that ye have left[H5800] [H853] the man?[H376] call[H7121] him, that he may eat[H398] bread.[H3899]
21. And Moses[H4872] was content[H2974] to dwell[H3427] with[H854] the man:[H376] and he gave[H5414] Moses[H4872] [H853] Zipporah[H6855] his daughter.[H1323]
22. And she bore[H3205] him a son,[H1121] and he called[H7121] [H853] his name[H8034] Gershom:[H1648] for[H3588] he said,[H559] I have been[H1961] a stranger[H1616] in a strange[H5237] land.[H776]
23. And it came to pass[H1961] in process of time,[H3117] [H7227] [H1992] that the king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714] died:[H4191] and the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] sighed[H584] by reason of[H4480] the bondage,[H5656] and they cried,[H2199] and their cry[H7775] came up[H5927] unto[H413] God[H430] by reason of[H4480] the bondage.[H5656]
24. And God[H430] heard[H8085] [H853] their groaning,[H5009] and God[H430] remembered[H2142] [H853] his covenant[H1285] with[H854] Abraham,[H85] with[H854] Isaac,[H3327] and with[H854] Jacob.[H3290]
25. And God[H430] looked upon[H7200] [H853] the children[H1121] of Israel,[H3478] and God[H430] had respect[H3045] unto them.
