Exodus 2:1 A man376 of the house1004 of Levi3878 went3212 and took3947 a daughter1323 of Levi3878 as his wife.
2 The woman802 conceived,2029 and bore3205 a son.1121 When she saw7200 that he was a fine2896 child, she hid6845 him three7969 months.33913 When she could3201 no longer5750 hide6845 him, she took3947 a papyrus1573 basket8392 for him, and coated2560 it with tar2564 and with pitch.2203 She put7760 the child3206 in it, and laid7760 it in the reeds5488 by the river's2975 bank.81934 His sister269 stood3320 far off,7350 to see3045 what would be done6213 to him.
5 Pharaoh's6547 daughter1323 came down3381 to bathe7364 at the river.2975 Her maidens5291 walked1980 along by the2975 riverside.3027 She saw7200 the basket8392 among8432 the reeds,5488 and sent7971 her handmaid519 to get3947 it.
6 She opened6605 it, and saw7200 the child,3206 and behold, the baby5288 cried.1058 She had compassion2550 on him, and said,559 "This is one of the Hebrews'5680 children."3206
Exodus 2:7 Then his sister269 said559 to Pharaoh's6547 daughter,1323 "Should I go3212 and call7121 a nurse3243 for you from the Hebrew5680 women,802 that she may nurse3243 the child3206 for you?"
Exodus 2:8 Pharaoh's6547 daughter1323 said559 to her, "Go."3212 The maiden5959 went3212 and called7121 the child's3206 mother.5179 Pharaoh's6547 daughter1323 said559 to her, "Take3212 this child3206 away,3212 and nurse3243 him for me, and I will give5414 you your wages."7939 The woman802 took3947 the child,3206 and nursed5134 it.
10 The child3206 grew,1431 and she brought935 him to Pharaoh's6547 daughter,1323 and he became her son.1121 She named8034 him7121 Moses,4872{“Moses” sounds like the Hebrew for “draw out”.} and said,559 "Because I drew4871 him out of the water."4325
Exodus 2:11 It happened in those days,3117 when Moses4872 had grown1431 up, that he went out3318 to his brothers,251 and looked7200 at their burdens.5450 He saw7200 an Egyptian4713 striking5221 a Hebrew,5680 one of his brothers.25112 He looked6437 this way3541 and that way,3541 and when he saw7200 that there was no one,376 he killed5221 the Egyptian,4713 and hid2934 him in the sand.2344
Exodus 2:13 He went out3318 the second8145 day,3117 and behold, two8147 men582 of the Hebrews5680 were fighting5327 with each other. He said559 to him who did the wrong,7563 "Why do you strike5221 your fellow?"7453
Exodus 2:14 He said,559 "Who made7760 you376 a prince8269 and a judge8199 over us? Do you plan559 to kill2026 me, as you killed2026 the Egyptian?"4713 Moses4872 was afraid,3372 and said,559 "Surely403 this thing1697 is known."304515 Now when Pharaoh6547 heard8085 this thing,1697 he sought1245 to kill2026 Moses.4872 But Moses4872 fled1272 from the face6440 of Pharaoh,6547 and lived3427 in the land776 of Midian,4080 and he sat down3427 by a well.875
Exodus 2:16 Now the priest3548 of Midian4080 had seven7651 daughters.1323 They came935 and drew1802 water, and filled4390 the troughs7298 to water8248 their father's1 flock.662917 The shepherds7462 came935 and drove them away;1644 but Moses4872 stood up6965 and helped3467 them, and watered8248 their flock.662918 When they came935 to Reuel,7467 their father,1 he said,559 "How4069 is it that you have returned935 so early4116 today?"3117
Exodus 2:19 They said,559 "An Egyptian4713 delivered5337 us out of the hand3027 of the shepherds,7462 and moreover he drew1802 water1802 for us, and watered8248 the flock."6629
Exodus 2:20 He said559 to his daughters,1323 "Where is he? Why is it that you have left5800 the man?376 Call7121 him, that he may eat398 bread."3899
Exodus 2:21 Moses4872 was content2974 to dwell3427 with the man.376 He gave5414 Moses4872 Zipporah,6855 his daughter.132322 She bore3205 a son,1121 and he named8034 him7121 Gershom,1647{“Gershom” sounds like the Hebrew for “an alien there”.} for he said,559 "I have lived as a foreigner1616 in a foreign5237 land."776
Exodus 2:23 It happened in the course1992 of those many days,3117 that the king4428 of Egypt4714 died,4191 and the children1121 of Israel3478 sighed584 because of4480 the bondage,5656 and they cried,2199 and their cry7775 came up5927 to God430 because of the bondage.565624 God430 heard8085 their groaning,5009 and God430 remembered2142 his covenant1285 with Abraham,85 with Isaac,3327 and with Jacob.329025 God430 saw7200 the children1121 of Israel,3478 and God430 was concerned3045 about them.
