Now these are the namesH8034 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which cameH935 into EgyptH4714; every manH376 and his householdH1004 cameH935 with JacobH3290.
ReubenH7205, SimeonH8095, LeviH3878, and JudahH3063,
IssacharH3485, ZebulunH2074, and BenjaminH1144,
DanH1835, and NaphtaliH5321, GadH1410, and AsherH836.
And all the soulsH5315 that came outH3318 of the loinsH3409 of JacobH3290 were seventyH7657 soulsH5315: for JosephH3130 was in EgyptH4714 already. {loins: Heb. thigh}
And JosephH3130 diedH4191, and all his brethrenH251, and all that generationH1755.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were fruitfulH6509, and increased abundantlyH8317, and multipliedH7235, and waxed exceedingH3966+H3966 mightyH6105; and the landH776 was filledH4390 with them.
Now there arose upH6965 a newH2319 kingH4428 over EgyptH4714, which knewH3045 not JosephH3130.
And he saidH559 unto his peopleH5971, Behold, the peopleH5971 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 are moreH7227 and mightierH6099 than we:
Come onH3051, let us deal wiselyH2449 with them; lest they multiplyH7235, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth outH7122 any warH4421, theyH1931 joinH3254 also unto our enemiesH8130, and fightH3898 against us, and so get them upH5927 out of the landH776.
Therefore they did setH7760 over them taskmastersH4522+H8269 to afflictH6031 them with their burdensH5450. And they builtH1129 for PharaohH6547 treasureH4543 citiesH5892, PithomH6619 and RaamsesH7486.
But the more they afflictedH6031 them, the moreH3651 they multipliedH7235 and grewH6555. And they were grievedH6973 becauseH6440 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. {But…: Heb. And as they afflicted them, so they multiplied, etc}
And the EgyptiansH4714 madeH5647 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 to serveH5647 with rigourH6531:
And they madeH4843 their livesH2416 bitterH4843 with hardH7186 bondageH5656, in morterH2563, and in brickH3843, and in all manner of serviceH5656 in the fieldH7704: all their serviceH5656, wherein they made them serveH5647, was with rigourH6531.
And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 spakeH559 to the HebrewH5680 midwivesH3205, of which the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was ShiphrahH8236, and the nameH8034 of the otherH8145 PuahH6326:
And he saidH559, When ye do the office of a midwifeH3205 to the Hebrew womenH5680, and seeH7200 them upon the stoolsH70; if it be a sonH1121, then ye shall killH4191 him: but if it be a daughterH1323, then she shall liveH2425.
But the midwivesH3205 fearedH3372 GodH430, and didH6213 not as the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 commandedH1696 them, but savedH2421 the men childrenH3206 aliveH2421.
And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 calledH7121 for the midwivesH3205, and saidH559 unto them, WhyH4069 have ye doneH6213 this thingH1697, and have savedH2421 the men childrenH3206 aliveH2421?
And the midwivesH3205 saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, Because the HebrewH5680 womenH802 are not as the Egyptian womenH4713; for they are livelyH2422, and are deliveredH3205 ereH2962 the midwivesH3205 come inH935 unto them.
Therefore GodH430 dealt wellH3190 with the midwivesH3205: and the peopleH5971 multipliedH7235, and waxed veryH3966 mightyH6105.
And it came to pass, because the midwivesH3205 fearedH3372 GodH430, that he madeH6213 them housesH1004.
And PharaohH6547 chargedH6680 all his peopleH5971, sayingH559, Every sonH1121 that is bornH3209 ye shall castH7993 into the riverH2975, and every daughterH1323 ye shall save aliveH2421.

And MoabH4124 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205 of MidianH4080, Now shall this companyH6951 lick upH3897 all that are round aboutH5439 us, as the oxH7794 licketh upH3897 the grassH3418 of the fieldH7704. And BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834 was kingH4428 of the MoabitesH4124 at that timeH6256.
He sentH7971 messengersH4397 therefore unto BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 to PethorH6604, which is by the riverH5104 of the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of his peopleH5971, to callH7121 him, sayingH559, Behold, there is a peopleH5971 come outH3318 from EgyptH4714: behold, they coverH3680 the faceH5869 of the earthH776, and they abideH3427 over againstH4136 me: {face: Heb. eye}
For wrathH3708 killethH2026 the foolish manH191, and envyH7068 slayethH4191 the silly oneH6601. {envy: or, indignation}
And he increasedH6509 his peopleH5971 greatlyH3966; and made them strongerH6105 than their enemiesH6862.
He turnedH2015 their heartH3820 to hateH8130 his peopleH5971, to deal subtillyH5230 with his servantsH5650.
In the multitudeH7230 of peopleH5971 is the king'sH4428 honourH1927: but in the wantH657 of peopleH3816 is the destructionH4288 of the princeH7333.
WrathH2534 is cruelH395, and angerH639 is outrageousH7858; but who is able to standH5975 beforeH6440 envyH7068? {Wrath…: Heb. Wrath is cruelty, and anger an overflowing} {envy: or, jealousy?}
Again, I consideredH7200 all travailH5999, and every rightH3788 workH4639, that for this a manH376 is enviedH7068 of his neighbourH7453. This is also vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307. {every…: Heb. all the rightness of work} {for this…: Heb. this is the envy of a man from his neighbour}
