H8034
Now these are the names
H1121
of the children
H3478
of Israel
H935
, which came
[H8802]
H4714
into Egypt
H376
; every man
H1004
and his household
H935
came
[H8804]
H3290
with Jacob.
5
H5315
And all the souls
H3318
that came out
[H8802]
H3409
of the loins
H3290
of Jacob
H7657
were seventy
H5315
souls
H3130
: for Joseph
H4714
was in Egypt already .
7
H1121
And the children
H3478
of Israel
H6509
were fruitful
[H8804]
H8317
, and increased abundantly
[H8799]
H7235
, and multiplied
[H8799]
H3966
, and waxed exceeding
H3966
H6105
mighty
[H8799]
H776
; and the land
H4390
was filled
[H8735]
with them.
8
H6965
Now there arose up
[H8799]
H2319
a new
H4428
king
H4714
over Egypt
H3045
, which knew
[H8804]
H3130
not Joseph.
9
H559
And he said
[H8799]
H5971
unto his people
H5971
, Behold, the people
H1121
of the children
H3478
of Israel
H7227
are more
H6099
and mightier than we:
10
H3051
Come on
[H8798]
H2449
, let us deal wisely
[H8691]
H7235
with them; lest they multiply
[H8799]
H7122
, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out
[H8799]
H4421
any war
H1931
, they
H3254
join
[H8738]
H8130
also unto our enemies
[H8802]
H3898
, and fight
[H8738]
H5927
against us, and so get them up
[H8804]
H776
out of the land.
11
H7760
Therefore they did set
[H8799]
H4522
over them taskmasters
H8269
H6031
to afflict
[H8763]
H5450
them with their burdens
H1129
. And they built
[H8799]
H6547
for Pharaoh
H4543
treasure
H5892
cities
H6619
, Pithom
H7486
and Raamses.
12
H6031
But the more they afflicted
[H8762]
H3651
them, the more
H7235
they multiplied
[H8799]
H6555
and grew
[H8799]
H6973
. And they were grieved
[H8799]
H6440
because
H1121
of the children
H3478
of Israel.
13
H4714
And the Egyptians
H5647
made
H1121
the children
H3478
of Israel
H5647
to serve
[H8686]
H6531
with rigour:
14
H4843
And they made
H2416
their lives
H4843
bitter
[H8762]
H7186
with hard
H5656
bondage
H2563
, in morter
H3843
, and in brick
H5656
, and in all manner of service
H7704
in the field
H5656
: all their service
H5647
, wherein they made them serve
[H8804]
H6531
, was with rigour.
15
H4428
And the king
H4714
of Egypt
H559
spake
[H8799]
H5680
to the Hebrew
H3205
midwives
[H8764]
H8034
, of which the name
H259
of the one
H8236
was Shiphrah
H8034
, and the name
H8145
of the other
H6326
Puah:
16
H559
And he said
[H8799]
H3205
, When ye do the office of a midwife
[H8763]
H5680
to the Hebrew women
H7200
, and see
[H8804]
H70
them upon the stools
H1121
; if it be a son
H4191
, then ye shall kill
[H8689]
H1323
him: but if it be a daughter
H2425
, then she shall live
[H8804]
.
17
H3205
But the midwives
[H8764]
H3372
feared
[H8799]
H430
God
H6213
, and did
[H8804]
H4428
not as the king
H4714
of Egypt
H1696
commanded
[H8765]
H2421
them, but saved
H3206
the men children
H2421
alive
[H8762]
.
18
H4428
And the king
H4714
of Egypt
H7121
called
[H8799]
H3205
for the midwives
[H8764]
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H4069
unto them, Why
H6213
have ye done
[H8804]
H1697
this thing
H2421
, and have saved
H3206
the men children
H2421
alive
[H8762]
?
19
H3205
And the midwives
[H8764]
H559
said
[H8799]
H6547
unto Pharaoh
H5680
, Because the Hebrew
H802
women
H4713
are not as the Egyptian women
H2422
; for they are lively
H3205
, and are delivered
[H8804]
H2962
ere
H3205
the midwives
[H8764]
H935
come in
[H8799]
unto them.
20
H430
Therefore God
H3190
dealt well
[H8686]
H3205
with the midwives
[H8764]
H5971
: and the people
H7235
multiplied
[H8799]
H3966
, and waxed very
H6105
mighty
[H8799]
.
ERV(i)
1 Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: and Joseph was in Egypt already.
6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
10 come, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land.
11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh store cities, Pithom and Raamses.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
14 and they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field, all their service, wherein they made them serve with rigour.
15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
16 and he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the birthstool; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwife come unto them.
20 And God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
