Exodus 1:8-22

1:8

Now there arose up
<06965> (8799)

a new
<02319>

king
<04428>

over Egypt
<04714>_,

which knew
<03045> (8804)

not Joseph
<03130>_.

1:9

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto his people
<05971>_,

Behold, the people
<05971>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

[are] more
<07227>

and mightier
<06099>

than we:

1:10

Come on
<03051> (8798)_,

let us deal wisely
<02449> (8691)

with them; lest they multiply
<07235> (8799)_,

and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out
<07122> (8799)

any war
<04421>_,

they
<01931>

join
<03254> (8738)

also unto our enemies
<08130> (8802)_,

and fight
<03898> (8738)

against us, and [so] get them up
<05927> (8804)

out of the land
<0776>_.

1:11

Therefore they did set
<07760> (8799)

over them taskmasters
<04522> <08269>

to afflict
<06031> (8763)

them with their burdens
<05450>_.

And they built
<01129> (8799)

for Pharaoh
<06547>

treasure
<04543>

cities
<05892>_,

Pithom
<06619>

and Raamses
<07486>_.

1:12

But the more they afflicted
<06031> (8762)

them, the more
<03651>

they multiplied
<07235> (8799)

and grew
<06555> (8799)_.

And they were grieved
<06973> (8799)

because
<06440>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{But...: Heb. And as they afflicted them, so they multiplied, etc}

1:13

And the Egyptians
<04714>

made
<05647> (0)

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

to serve
<05647> (8686)

with rigour
<06531>_:

1:14

And they made
<04843> (0)

their lives
<02416>

bitter
<04843> (8762)

with hard
<07186>

bondage
<05656>_,

in morter
<02563>_,

and in brick
<03843>_,

and in all manner of service
<05656>

in the field
<07704>_:

all their service
<05656>_,

wherein they made them serve
<05647> (8804)_,

[was] with rigour
<06531>_.

1:15

And the king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

spake
<0559> (8799)

to the Hebrew
<05680>

midwives
<03205> (8764)_,

of which the name
<08034>

of the one
<0259>

[was] Shiphrah
<08236>_,

and the name
<08034>

of the other
<08145>

Puah
<06326>_:

1:16

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

When ye do the office of a midwife
<03205> (8763)

to the Hebrew women
<05680>_,

and see
<07200> (8804)

[them] upon the stools
<070>_;

if it [be] a son
<01121>_,

then ye shall kill
<04191> (8689)

him: but if it [be] a daughter
<01323>_,

then she shall live
<02425> (8804)_.

1:17

But the midwives
<03205> (8764)

feared
<03372> (8799)

God
<0430>_,

and did
<06213> (8804)

not as the king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

commanded
<01696> (8765)

them, but saved
<02421> (0)

the men children
<03206>

alive
<02421> (8762)_.

1:18

And the king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

called
<07121> (8799)

for the midwives
<03205> (8764)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Why
<04069>

have ye done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_,

and have saved
<02421> (0)

the men children
<03206>

alive
<02421> (8762)_?

1:19

And the midwives
<03205> (8764)

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,

Because the Hebrew
<05680>

women
<0802>

[are] not as the Egyptian women
<04713>_;

for they [are] lively
<02422>_,

and are delivered
<03205> (8804)

ere
<02962>

the midwives
<03205> (8764)

come in
<0935> (8799)

unto them.

1:20

Therefore God
<0430>

dealt well
<03190> (8686)

with the midwives
<03205> (8764)_:

and the people
<05971>

multiplied
<07235> (8799)_,

and waxed very
<03966>

mighty
<06105> (8799)_.

1:21

And it came to pass, because the midwives
<03205> (8764)

feared
<03372> (8804)

God
<0430>_,

that he made
<06213> (8799)

them houses
<01004>_.

1:22

And Pharaoh
<06547>

charged
<06680> (8762)

all his people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Every son
<01121>

that is born
<03209>

ye shall cast
<07993> (8686)

into the river
<02975>_,

and every daughter
<01323>

ye shall save alive
<02421> (8762)_.
