Exodus 2

1 Moses is born, 3 and in an ark cast into the flags. 5 He is found, and brought up by Pharaoh's daughter. 11 He slayeth an Egyptian. He reproveth an Hebrew. 15 He fleeth into Midian. 21 He marrieth Zipporah. 22 Gershom is born. 23 God respecteth the Israelites' cry.

 2:1 Now a man 376 from the house 1004 of Levi 3878 went 1980 and married 3947 a daughter 1323 of Levi 3878.

 2:2 The woman 802 conceived 2029 and bore 3205 a son 1121; and when she saw 7200 that he was beautiful 2896a, she hid 6845 him for three 7969 months 3391.

 2:3 But when she could 3201 hide 6845 him no 3808 longer 5750, she got 3947 him a wicker 1573 basket 8392 and covered 2560b it over with tar 2564 and pitch 2203a. Then she put 7760 the child 3206 into it and set 7760 [it] among the reeds 5488 by the bank 8193 of the Nile 2975.

 2:4 His sister 269 stood 3320 at a distance 7350 to find 3045 out what 4100 would happen 6213a to him.

 2:5 ¶ The daughter 1323 of Pharaoh 6547 came 3381 down 3381 to bathe 7364 at the Nile 2975, with her maidens 5291 walking 1980 alongside 5921 3027 the Nile 2975; and she saw 7200 the basket 8392 among 8432 the reeds 5488 and sent 7971 her maid 519, and she brought 3947 it [to her].

 2:6 When she opened 6605a [it], she saw 7200 the child 3206, and behold 2009, [the] boy 5288 was crying 1058. And she had 2550 pity 2550 on him and said 559, “This 2088 is one 4480 of the Hebrews’ 5680 children 3206.”

 2:7 Then his sister 269 said 559 to Pharaoh’s 6547 daughter 1323, “Shall I go 1980 and call 7121 a nurse 3243 for you from the Hebrew 5680 women 5680 that she may nurse 3243 the child 3206 for you?”

 2:8 Pharaoh’s 6547 daughter 1323 said 559 to her, “Go 1980 [ahead].” So the girl 5959 went 1980 and called 7121 the child’s 3206 mother 517.

 2:9 Then Pharaoh’s 6547 daughter 1323 said 559 to her, “Take 1980 this 2088 child 3206 away and nurse 3243 him for me and I will give 5414 [you] your wages 7939.” So the woman 802 took 3947 the child 3206 and nursed 5134 him.

 2:10 The child 3206 grew 1431, and she brought 935 him to Pharaoh’s 6547 daughter 1323 and he became 1961 her son 1121. And she named 7121 8034 him Moses 4872, and said 559, “Because 3588 I drew 4871 him out of the water 4325.”

 2:11 ¶ Now it came 1961 about in those 1992a days 3117, when Moses 4872 had grown 1431 up, that he went 3318 out to his brethren 251 and looked 7200 on their hard 5450 labors 5450; and he saw 7200 an Egyptian 4713 beating 5221 a Hebrew 5680, one 4480 of his brethren 251.

 2:12 So he looked 6437 this 3541 way 3541 and that, and when he saw 7200 there 369 was no 369 one 376 [around], he struck 5221 down 5221 the Egyptian 4713 and hid 2934 him in the sand 2344.

 2:13 He went 3318 out the next 8145 day 3117, and behold 2009, two 8147 Hebrews 5680 were fighting 5327b with each other; and he said 559 to the offender 7563, “Why 4100 are you striking 5221 your companion 7453?”

 2:14 But he said 559, “Who 4310 made 7760 you a prince 8269 or a judge 8199 over 5921 us? Are you intending 559 to kill 2026 me as you killed 2026 the Egyptian 4713?” Then Moses 4872 was afraid 3372a and said 559, “Surely 403 the matter 1697 has become known 3045.”

 2:15 When Pharaoh 6547 heard 8085 of this 2088 matter 1697, he tried 1245 to kill 2026 Moses 4872. But Moses 4872 fled 1272 from the presence 6440 of Pharaoh 6547 and settled 3427 in the land 776 of Midian 4080, and he sat 3427 down 3427 by a well 875.

 2:16 ¶ Now the priest 3548 of Midian 4080 had seven 7651 daughters 1323; and they came 935 to draw 1802a water 1802a and filled 4390 the troughs 7298a to water 8248 their father’s 1 flock 6629.

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

 2:18 When they came 935 to Reuel 7467 their father 1, he said 559, “Why 4069 have you come 935 [back] so soon 4116 today 3117?”

 2:19 So they said 559, “An Egyptian 4713 delivered 5337 us from the hand 3027 of the shepherds 7462a, and what 1571 is more 1571, he even 1571 drew 1802a the water 1802a for us and watered 8248 the flock 6629.”

 2:20 He said 559 to his daughters 1323, “Where 335 is he then? Why 4100 is it that you have left 5800a the man 376 behind 5800a? Invite 7121 him to have something 3899 to eat 398.”

 2:21 Moses 4872 was willing 2974 to dwell 3427 with the man 376, and he gave 5414 his daughter 1323 Zipporah 6855 to Moses 4872.

 2:22 Then she gave 3205 birth 3205 to a son 1121, and he named 7121 8034 him Gershom 1647, for he said 559, “I have been 1961 a sojourner 1616 in a foreign 5237 land 776.”

 2:23 ¶ Now it came 1961 about in [the course of] those 1992a many 7227a days 3117 that the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 died 4191. And the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 sighed 584 because 4480 of the bondage 5656, and they cried 2199 out; and their cry 7775 for help 7775 because 4480 of [their] bondage 5656 rose 5927 up to God 430.

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

 2:25 God 430 saw 7200 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and God 430 took 3045 notice 3045 [of them].
