02:001:015 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: 

02:001:016 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.

02:001:017 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt
           commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

02:001:018 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?

02:001:019 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.

02:001:020 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives:  and the people
           multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

02:001:021 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he
           made them houses.

02:001:022 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.

02:002:001 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a
           daughter of Levi.

02:002:002 And the woman conceived, and bare a son:  and when she saw him
           that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.

02:002:003 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
           river’s brink.

02:002:004 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to
           him.

02:002:005 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the
           river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side; and
           when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to
           fetch it.

02:002:006 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.

02:002:007 Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and
           call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse
           the child for thee?

02:002:008 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go.  And the maid went and
           called the child’s mother.

02:002:009 And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, Take this child away,
           and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages.  And the
           women took the child, and nursed it.
