The Second Book of Moses, called
Exodus
Now
these
are
the
names
of
the
children
of
Israel,
which
came
into
Egypt;
every
man
and
his
household
came
with
Jacob.
2
Reuben,
Simeon,
Levi,
and
Judah,
3
Issachar,
Zebulun,
and
Benjamin,
4
Dan,
and
Naphtali,
Gad,
and
Asher.
5
And
all
the
souls
that
came
out
of
the
loins
of
Jacob
were
seventy
souls:
for
Joseph
was
in
Egypt
already.
6
And
Joseph
died,
and
all
his
brethren,
and
all
that
generation.
7
And
the
children
of
Israel
were
fruitful,
and
increased
abundantly,
and
multiplied,
and
waxed
exceeding
mighty;
and
the
land
was
filled
with
them.
8
Now
there
arose
up
a
new
king
over
Egypt,
which
knew
not
Joseph.
9
And
he
said
unto
his
people,
Behold,
the
people
of
the
children
of
Israel
are
more
and
mightier
than
we:
10
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.
11
Therefore
they
did
set
over
them
taskmasters
to
afflict
them
with
their
burdens.
And
they
built
for
Pharaoh
treasure
cities,
Pithom
and
Raamses.
12
But
the
more
they
afflicted
them,
the
more
they
multiplied
and
grew.
And
they
were
grieved
because
of
the
children
of
Israel.
13
And
the
Egyptians
made
the
children
of
Israel
to
serve
with
rigour:
14
And
they
made
their
lives
bitter
with
hard
bondage,
in
morter,
and
in
brick,
and
in
all
manner
of
service
in
the
field:
all
their
service,
wherein
they
made
them
serve,
was
with
rigour.
15
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:
16
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.
17
But
the
midwives
feared
God,
and
did
not
as
the
king
of
Egypt
commanded
them,
but
saved
the
men
children
alive.
18
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?
19
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.
20
Therefore
God
dealt
well
with
the
midwives:
and
the
people
multiplied,
and
waxed
very
mighty.
21
And
it
came
to
pass,
because
the
midwives
feared
God,
that
he
made
them
houses.
22
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.
