Exodus 1 1 - Now these [are] the names of the children 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: for 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 up 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 on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and [so] 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 treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses. 12 - But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. 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 bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, [was] 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 stools; 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 midwives come in unto them. 20 - Therefore 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.
