* And there went a man of the house of Levi , and took to wife a daughter of Levi . * And the woman conceived , and bare a son : and when she saw him that he was a goodly child , she hid him three months . * And when she could not longer hide him , she took for him an ark of bulrushes , and daubed it with slime and with pitch , and put the child therein ; and she laid it in the flags by the rivers brink . * And his sister stood afar off , to wit what would be done to him . * And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river y @#or #; and her maidens walked along by the rivers side ; and when she saw the ark among the flags , she sent her maid to fetch it . * And when she had opened it , she saw the child : and , behold , the babe wept . And she had compassion on him , and said , This is one of the Hebrews children . * Then said his sister to Pharaohs daughter , Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women , that she may nurse the child for thee ? * And Pharaohs daughter said to her , Go . And the maid went and called the childs mother . * And Pharaohs daughter said unto her , Take # this child away , and nurse it for me , and I will give thee thy wages . And the woman took the child , and nursed it . * And the child grew , and she brought him unto Pharaohs daughter , and he became her son . And she called his name Moses : and she said , Because I drew him out of the water . * And it came to pass in those days , when Moses was grown , that he went out unto his brethren , and looked on their burdens : and he spied an Egyptian Mitsriy # smiting an Hebrew , one of his brethren . * And he looked this way and that way , and when he saw that there was no man , he slew the Egyptian , and hid him in the sand . * And when he went out the second day , behold , two men of the Hebrews strove together : and he said to him that did the wrong , Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow ? * And he said , Who made thee a prince and a judge over us ? intendest thou to kill me , as thou killedst the Egyptian ? And Moses feared , and said , Surely this thing is known . * Now when Pharaoh heard this thing , he sought to slay Moses . But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh Par #oh #, and dwelt in the land of Midian : and he sat down by a well @#er #. * Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters : and they came and drew water , and filled the troughs to water their fathers flock tso #n #. * And the shepherds came and drove them away : but Moses stood up and helped them , and watered their flock tso #n #. * And when they came to Reuel R @#uw #el # their father , he said , How is it that ye are come so soon to day ? * And they said , An Egyptian Mitsriy # delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds , and also drew water enough for us , and watered the flock tso #n #. * And he said unto his daughters , And where is he ? why is it that ye have left the man ? call him , that he may eat bread . * And Moses was content to dwell with the man : and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter . * And she bare him a son , and he called his name Gershom : for he said , I have been a stranger in a strange land . * And it came to pass in process hem # of time , that the king of Egypt died : and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage , and they cried , and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage . * And God heard their groaning n @#aqah #, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham , with Isaac , and with Jacob Ya #aqob #. * And God looked upon the children of Israel Yisra #el #, and God had respect unto them .
