Exod.1.9

"Look," he said to his people, "the Israelites have become much too numerous for us.

Exod.1.9

And he said to his people, "Look, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we;

Exod.1.9

He told his people, "These Israelites are becoming a threat to us because there are so many of them.

Exod.1.10

come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and it happen, in the event of war, that they also join our enemies and fight against us, and so go up out of the land."

Exod.1.10

Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country."

Exod.1.10

come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and it happen, in the event of war, that they also join our enemies and fight against us, and so go up out of the land."

Exod.1.10

We must find a way to put an end to this. If we don't and if war breaks out, they will join our enemies and fight against us. Then they will escape from the country."

Exod.1.11

Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh supply cities, Pithom and Raamses.

Exod.1.11

So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh.

Exod.1.11

Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh supply cities, Pithom and Raamses.

Exod.1.11

So the Egyptians made the Israelites their slaves and put brutal slave drivers over them, hoping to wear them down under heavy burdens. They forced them to build the cities of Pithom and Rameses as supply centers for the king.

Exod.1.12

But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were in dread of the children of Israel.

Exod.1.12

But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites

Exod.1.12

But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were in dread of the children of Israel.

Exod.1.12

Exod.1.13

So the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with rigor.

Exod.1.13

and worked them ruthlessly.

Exod.1.13

So the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with rigor.

Exod.1.13

and decided to make their slavery more bitter still.

Exod.1.15

The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah,

Exod.1.15

Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah;

Exod.1.15

Then Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, gave this order to the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah:

Exod.1.16

and he said, "When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstools, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live."

Exod.1.16

"When you help the Hebrew women in childbirth and observe them on the delivery stool, if it is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live."

Exod.1.16

and he said, "When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstools, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live."

Exod.1.16

"When you help the Hebrew women give birth, kill all the boys as soon as they are born. Allow only the baby girls to live."

Exod.1.17

But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive.

Exod.1.17

The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live.

Exod.1.17

But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive.

Exod.1.17

But because the midwives feared God, they refused to obey the king and allowed the boys to live, too.

Exod.1.18

So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, "Why have you done this thing, and saved the male children alive?"

Exod.1.18

Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, "Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?"

Exod.1.19

And the midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are lively and give birth before the midwives come to them."

Exod.1.19

The midwives answered Pharaoh, "Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive."

Exod.1.19

And the midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are lively and give birth before the midwives come to them."

Exod.1.19

"Sir," they told him, "the Hebrew women are very strong. They have their babies so quickly that we cannot get there in time! They are not slow in giving birth like Egyptian women."

Exod.1.20

Therefore God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and grew very mighty.

Exod.1.20

So God was kind to the midwives and the people increased and became even more numerous.

Exod.1.20

Therefore God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and grew very mighty.

Exod.1.20

So God blessed the midwives, and the Israelites continued to multiply, growing more and more powerful.

And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.

Exod.1.21

And so it was, because the midwives feared God, that He provided households for them.

Exod.2.3

But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.

Exod.2.6

And when she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."

Exod.2.6

She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. "This is one of the Hebrew babies," she said.

Exod.2.6

And when she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."

Exod.2.6

As the princess opened it, she found the baby boy. His helpless cries touched her heart. "He must be one of the Hebrew children," she said.

Exod.2.7

Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?"

Exod.2.7

Then his sister asked Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?"

Exod.2.7

Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?"

Exod.2.7

Then the baby's sister approached the princess. "Should I go and find one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?" she asked.

Exod.2.8

And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." So the maiden went and called the child's mother.

Exod.2.8

"Yes, go," she answered. And the girl went and got the baby's mother.

Exod.2.8

And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." So the maiden went and called the child's mother.

Exod.2.8

"Yes, do!" the princess replied. So the girl rushed home and called the baby's mother.

Exod.2.10

And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. So she called his name Moses, saying, "Because I drew him out of the water."

Exod.2.10

When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, "I drew him out of the water."

Exod.2.11

Now it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren.

Exod.2.11

One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.

Exod.2.11

Now it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren.

Exod.2.11

Many years later, when Moses had grown up, he went out to visit his people, the Israelites, and he saw how hard they were forced to work. During his visit, he saw an Egyptian beating one of the Hebrew slaves.

Exod.2.12

So he looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

Exod.2.12

Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

Exod.2.12

So he looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

Exod.2.12

After looking around to make sure no one was watching, Moses killed the Egyptian and buried him in the sand.

Exod.2.13

And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, "Why are you striking your companion?"

Exod.2.13

The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, "Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?"

Exod.2.13

And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, "Why are you striking your companion?"

Exod.2.13

The next day, as Moses was out visiting his people again, he saw two Hebrew men fighting. "What are you doing, hitting your neighbor like that?" Moses said to the one in the wrong.

Exod.2.14

Then he said, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" So Moses feared and said, "Surely this thing is known!"

Exod.2.14

The man said, "Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid and thought, "What I did must have become known."

Exod.2.14

Then he said, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" So Moses feared and said, "Surely this thing is known!"

Exod.2.14

"Who do you think you are?" the man replied. "Who appointed you to be our prince and judge? Do you plan to kill me as you killed that Egyptian yesterday?" Moses was badly frightened because he realized that everyone knew what he had done.

Exod.2.15

When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well.

Exod.2.15

When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well.

Exod.2.15

And sure enough, when Pharaoh heard about it, he gave orders to have Moses arrested and killed. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and escaped to the land of Midian. When Moses arrived in Midian, he sat down beside a well.

Exod.2.16

Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. And they came and drew water, and they filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

Then the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

Exod.2.17

Some shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses got up and came to their rescue and watered their flock.

Exod.2.17

Then the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

Exod.2.17

But other shepherds would often come and chase the girls and their flocks away. This time, however, Moses came to their aid, rescuing the girls from the shepherds. Then he helped them draw water for their flocks.

Exod.2.18

When they came to Reuel their father, he said, "How is it that you have come so soon today?"

Exod.2.18

When the girls returned to Reuel their father, he asked them, "Why have you returned so early today?"

Exod.2.18

When they came to Reuel their father, he said, "How is it that you have come so soon today?"

Exod.2.18

Exod.2.19

They answered, "An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flock."

Exod.2.19

And they said, "An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and he also drew enough water for us and watered the flock."

Exod.2.19

"An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds," they told him. "And then he drew water for us and watered our flocks."

Exod.2.20

So he said to his daughters, "And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread."

Exod.2.20

"And where is he?" he asked his daughters. "Why did you leave him? Invite him to have something to eat."

Exod.2.20

So he said to his daughters, "And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread."

Exod.2.20

"Well, where is he then?" their father asked. "Did you just leave him there? Go and invite him home for a meal!"

Exod.2.21

Then Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.

Exod.2.21

Moses agreed to stay with the man, who gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.

Exod.2.21

Then Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.

Exod.2.21

Moses was happy to accept the invitation, and he settled down to live with them. In time, Reuel gave Moses one of his daughters, Zipporah, to be his wife.

Exod.2.22

And she bore him a son. He called his name Gershom, for he said, "I have been a stranger in a foreign land."

Exod.2.22

Exod.2.22

Later they had a baby boy, and Moses named him Gershom, for he said, "I have been a stranger in a foreign land."

Exod.2.23

Now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.

Exod.2.23

During that long period, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God.

Exod.3.3

Then Moses said, "I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn."

Exod.3.3

So Moses thought, "I will go over and see this strange sight-why the bush does not burn up."

Exod.3.3

Then Moses said, "I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn."

Exod.3.3

"Amazing!" Moses said to himself. "Why isn't that bush burning up? I must go over to see this."

Exod.3.5

"Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground."

Exod.3.5

Then He said, "Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground."
