02:002:010 And the child grew, and she brought him
unto Pharaoh’s
daughter,
and he became her son. And she called his name
Moses:
and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
02:002:011 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 smiting an Hebrew, one of his
brethren.
02:002:012 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.
02:002:013 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?
02:002:014 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.
02:002:015 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought
to slay Moses.
But
Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the
land
of
Midian: and he sat down by a well.
02:002:016 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters:
and they came
and
drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s
flock.
02:002:017 And the shepherds came and drove them away:
but Moses stood up
and
helped them, and watered their flock.
02:002:018 And when they came to Reuel their father,
he said, How is it
that
ye are come so soon to day?
02:002:019 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us
out of the hand of the
shepherds,
and also drew water enough for us, and watered the
flock.
02:002:020 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.
02:002:021 And Moses was content to dwell with the
man: and he gave Moses
Zipporah
his daughter.
02:002:022 And she bare him a son, and he called his
name Gershom: for he
said,
I have been a stranger in a strange land.
02:002:023 And it came to pass in process 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.
02:002:024 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered
his covenant
with
Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
02:002:025 And God looked upon the children of Israel,
and God had
respect
unto them.
02:003:001 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his
father in law, the
priest
of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside
of the
desert,
and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
