    Exodus 1
    • 1   These are the names of the children of Israel, that went into Egypt with Jacob: they went in every man with his household:
    • 2   Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Juda,
    • 3   Issachar, Zabulon, and Benjamin,
    • 4   Dan, and Nephthali, Gad and Aser.
    • 5   And all the souls that came out of Jacob's thigh, were seventy: but Joseph was in Egypt.
    • 6   After he was dead, and all his brethren, and all that generation,
    • 7   The children of Israel increased, and sprung up into multitudes, and growing exceedingly strong they filled the land.
    • 8   In the mean time there arose a new king over Egypt, that knew not Joseph:
    • 9   And he said to his people: Behold the people of the children of Israel are numerous and stronger than we.
    • 10   Come let us wisely oppress them, lest they multiply: and if any war shall rise against us, join with our enemies, and having overcome us, depart out of the land.
    • 11   Therefore he set over them masters of the works, to afflict them with burdens: and they built for Pharao cities of tabernacles, Phithom, and Ramesses.
    • 12   But the more they oppressed them, the more they were multiplied and increased.
    • 13   And the Egyptians hated the children of Israel, and afflicted them and mocked them:
    • 14   And they made their life bitter with hard works in clay and brick, and with all manner of service, wherewith they were overcharged in the works of the earth.
    • 15   And the king of Egypt spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews: of whom one was called Sephora, the other Phua,
    • 16   Commanding them: When you shall do the office of midwives to the Hebrew women, and the time of delivery is come: if it be a man child, kill it: if a woman, keep it alive.
    • 17   But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded, but saved the men children.
    • 18   And the king called for them and said: What is it that you meant to do, that you would save the men children?
    • 19   They answered: The Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women: for they themselves are skilful in the office of a midwife; and they are delivered before we come to them.
    • 20   Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied and grew exceedingly strong.
    • 21   And because the midwives feared God, he built them houses.
    • 22   Pharao therefore charged all his people, saying: Whatsoever shall be born of the male sex, ye shall cast into the river: whatsoever of the female, ye shall save alive.
