mkjv@Exodus:1:1 @ And these [were] the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt. Every man and his household came with Jacob:

mkjv@Exodus:1:2 @ Reuben; Simeon; Levi; and Judah;

mkjv@Exodus:1:3 @ Issachar; Zebulun; and Benjamin,

mkjv@Exodus:1:4 @ Dan; and Naphtali; Gad; and Asher.

mkjv@Exodus:1:5 @ And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls, for Joseph was [already] in Egypt.

mkjv@Exodus:1:6 @ And Joseph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation.

mkjv@Exodus:1:7 @ And the sons of Israel were fruitful, and increased very much, and multiplied, and became exceedingly mighty. And the land was filled [with] them.

mkjv@Exodus:1:8 @ And there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.

mkjv@Exodus:1:9 @ And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the sons of Israel [are] many and mightier than we.

mkjv@Exodus:1:10 @ Come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it will be when there comes a war, they join also to our enemies, and fight against us, and get out of the land.

mkjv@Exodus:1:11 @ And they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built treasure cities for Pharaoh, Pithon and Raamses.

mkjv@Exodus:1:12 @ But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the sons of Israel.

mkjv@Exodus:1:13 @ And the Egyptians made the sons of Israel serve with harshness.

mkjv@Exodus:1:14 @ And they made their lives bitter with hard work in mortar and in bricks, and in all [kinds of] work in the field; all their work in which they made them do [was] with harshness.

mkjv@Exodus:1:15 @ And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one [was] Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah.

mkjv@Exodus:1:16 @ And he said, When you midwife the Hebrew women, and look on the birth stools, if it [is] a son, then you shall kill him. But if it [is] a daughter, then she shall live.

mkjv@Exodus:1:17 @ But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved alive the male children.

mkjv@Exodus:1:18 @ And the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, Why have you done this thing, and have saved the male children alive?

mkjv@Exodus:1:19 @ And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women [are] not like the Egyptian women. For they [are] lively, and are delivered before the midwives come in to them.

mkjv@Exodus:1:20 @ And God dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied and became very mighty.

mkjv@Exodus:1:21 @ And it happened, because the midwives feared God, [that] He made them houses.

mkjv@Exodus:1:22 @ And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.
