Exodus 2:4

1
And there went
a man of the house of Levi, and took
to wife
a daughter of Levi.
2
And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he
was a
goodly
child
, she hid him three months.
3
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.
And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
5
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.
6
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.
7
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?
8
And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.
9
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
17
And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How
is it that
ye are come so soon to day?
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.
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.
21
And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
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.
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.
24
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto
them
