Exodus:1:1-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now these are the names of the children of Israel ,
which came into Egypt ;
every man and his household came with Jacob .
*
Reuben ,
Simeon ,
Levi ,
and Judah ,
*
Issachar ,
Zebulun ,
and Benjamin ,
*
Dan ,
and Naphtali ,
Gad ,
and Asher .
*
And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls :
for Joseph was in Egypt already .
*
And Joseph died ,
and all his brethren ,
and all that generation .
*
And the children of Israel were fruitful ,
and increased abundantly ,
and multiplied ,
and waxed exceeding mighty ;
and the land was filled with them .
*
Now there arose up a new king over Egypt ,
which knew not Joseph .
*
And he said unto his people ,
Behold ,
the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we :
*
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 .
*
Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens .
And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities ,
Pithom and Raamses .
*
But the more they afflicted them ,
the more they multiplied and grew .
And they were grieved because of the children of Israel .
