Now these
are the names
of the sons
of Israel
who came
to Egypt
with Jacob;
they came
each one
with his household:
2
Reuben,
Simeon,
Levi
and Judah;
3
Issachar,
Zebulun
and Benjamin;
4
Dan
and Naphtali,
Gad
and Asher.
5
All
the persons
who came
from the loins
of Jacob
were seventy
in number,
but Joseph
was already in Egypt.
6
Joseph
died,
and all
his brothers
and all
that generation.
7
But the sons
of Israel
were fruitful
and increased greatly,
and multiplied,
and became
exceedingly
mighty,
so that the land
was filled
with them.
8
Now a new
king
arose
over
Egypt,
who
did not know
Joseph.
9
He said
to his people,
"Behold,
the people
of the sons
of Israel
are more
and mightier
than
we.
10
"Come,
let us deal wisely
with them, or else
they will multiply
and in the event
of war,
they will also
join
themselves to those who
hate
us, and fight
against us and depart
from the land."
11
So they appointed
taskmasters
over
them to afflict
them with hard labor.
And they built
for Pharaoh
storage
cities,
Pithom
and Raamses.
12
But the more
they afflicted
them, the more
they multiplied
and the more
they spread
out, so that they were in dread
of the sons
of Israel.
13
The Egyptians
compelled the sons
of Israel
to labor
rigorously;
14
and they made
their lives
bitter
with hard
labor
in mortar
and bricks
and at
all
kinds of
labor
in the field,
all
their
labor
s
which
they rigorously
imposed
on them.
15
Then the king
of Egypt
spoke
to the Hebrew
midwives,
one
of whom
was named
Shiphrah
and the other
was named
Puah;
16
and he said,
"When you are helping the Hebrew women
to give birth
and see
them upon the birthstool,
if
it is a son,
then you shall put him to death;
but
if
it is a daughter,
then she shall live."
17
But the midwives
feared
God,
and did not do
as the king
of Egypt
had commanded
them, but let the boys
live.
18
So the king
of Egypt
called
for the midwives
and said
to them, "Why
have you done
this
thing,
and let the boys
live?"
19
The midwives
said
to Pharaoh,
"Because
the Hebrew women
are not as the Egyptian
women;
for they are vigorous
and give
birth
before
the midwife
can get
to them."
20
So God
was good
to the midwives,
and the people
multiplied,
and became
very
mighty.
21
Because
the midwives
feared
God,
He established
households
for them.
22
Then Pharaoh
commanded
all
his people,
saying,
"Every
son
who is born
you are to cast
into the Nile,
and every
daughter
you are to keep alive."
