Exodus 2:11--3:12

And it came to pass in those days
<03117>_,
when Moses
<04872>
was grown
<01431> (8799)_,
that he went out
<03318> (8799)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
and looked
<07200> (8799)
on their burdens
<05450>_:
and he spied
<07200> (8799)
an Egyptian
<04713> <0376>
smiting
<05221> (8688)
an Hebrew
<05680>_,
one of his brethren
<0251>_.
And he looked
<06437> (8799)
this way
<03541>
and that way
<03541>_,
and when he saw
<07200> (8799)
that [there was] no man
<0376>_,
he slew
<05221> (8686)
the Egyptian
<04713>_,
and hid
<02934> (8799)
him in the sand
<02344>_.
And when he went out
<03318> (8799)
the second
<08145>
day
<03117>_,
behold, two
<08147>
men
<0582>
of the Hebrews
<05680>
strove
<05327> (8737)
together: and he said
<0559> (8799)
to him that did the wrong
<07563>_,
Wherefore smitest
<05221> (8686)
thou thy fellow
<07453>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who made
<07760> (8804)
thee
<0376>
a prince
<08269>
and a judge
<08199> (8802)
over us? intendest
<0559> (8802)
thou to kill
<02026> (8800)
me, as thou killedst
<02026> (8804)
the Egyptian
<04713>_?
And Moses
<04872>
feared
<03372> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Surely
<0403>
this thing
<01697>
is known
<03045> (8738)_.
{a prince: Heb. a man, a prince}
Now when Pharaoh
<06547>
heard
<08085> (8799)
this thing
<01697>_,
he sought
<01245> (8762)
to slay
<02026> (8800)
Moses
<04872>_.
But Moses
<04872>
fled
<01272> (8799)
from the face
<06440>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in the land
<0776>
of Midian
<04080>_:
and he sat down
<03427> (8799)
by a well
<0875>_.
Now the priest
<03548>
of Midian
<04080>
had seven
<07651>
daughters
<01323>_:
and they came
<0935> (8799)
and drew
<01802> (8799)
[water], and filled
<04390> (8762)
the troughs
<07298>
to water
<08248> (8687)
their father's
<01>
flock
<06629>_.
{priest: or, prince}
And the shepherds
<07462> (8802)
came
<0935> (8799)
and drove them away
<01644> (8762)_:
but Moses
<04872>
stood up
<06965> (8799)
and helped
<03467> (8686)
them, and watered
<08248> (8686)
their flock
<06629>_.
And when they came
<0935> (8799)
to Reuel
<07467>
their father
<01>_,
he said
<0559> (8799)_,
How
<04069>
[is it that] ye are come
<0935> (8800)
so soon
<04116> (8765)
to day
<03117>_?
{Reuel: called also Jethro, or, Jether}
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
An Egyptian
<04713> <0376>
delivered
<05337> (8689)
us out of the hand
<03027>
of the shepherds
<07462> (8802)_,
and also drew
<01802> (8804)
[water] enough
<01802> (8800)
for us, and watered
<08248> (8686)
the flock
<06629>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto his daughters
<01323>_,
And where [is] he? why [is] it [that] ye have left
<05800> (8804)
the man
<0376>_?
call
<07121> (8798)
him, that he may eat
<0398> (8799)
bread
<03899>_.
And Moses
<04872>
was content
<02974> (8686)
to dwell
<03427> (8800)
with the man
<0376>_:
and he gave
<05414> (8799)
Moses
<04872>
Zipporah
<06855>
his daughter
<01323>_.
And she bare
<03205> (8799)
[him] a son
<01121>_,
and he called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Gershom
<01647>_:
for he said
<0559> (8804)_,
I have been a stranger
<01616>
in a strange
<05237>
land
<0776>_.
{Gershom: that is, A stranger here}
And it came to pass in process
<01992> <07227>
of time
<03117>_,
that the king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
died
<04191> (8799)_:
and the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
sighed
<0584> (8735)
by reason of
<04480>
the bondage
<05656>_,
and they cried
<02199> (8799)_,
and their cry
<07775>
came up
<05927> (8799)
unto God
<0430>
by reason of the bondage
<05656>_.
And God
<0430>
heard
<08085> (8799)
their groaning
<05009>_,
and God
<0430>
remembered
<02142> (8799)
his covenant
<01285>
with Abraham
<085>_,
with Isaac
<03327>_,
and with Jacob
<03290>_.
And God
<0430>
looked
<07200> (8799)
upon the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and God
<0430>
had respect
<03045> (8799)
unto [them]. {had...: Heb. knew}
Now Moses
<04872>
kept
<01961> (8804) <07462> (8802)
the flock
<06629>
of Jethro
<03503>
his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,
the priest
<03548>
of Midian
<04080>_:
and he led
<05090> (8799)
the flock
<06629>
to the backside
<0310>
of the desert
<04057>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to the mountain
<02022>
of God
<0430>_,
[even] to Horeb
<02722>_.
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8735)
unto him in a flame
<03827>
of fire
<0784>
out of the midst
<08432>
of a bush
<05572>_:
and he looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, the bush
<05572>
burned
<01197> (8802)
with fire
<0784>_,
and the bush
<05572>
[was] not consumed
<0398> (8794)_.
And Moses
<04872>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will now turn aside
<05493> (8799)_,
and see
<07200> (8799)
this great
<01419>
sight
<04758>_,
why
<04069>
the bush
<05572>
is not burnt
<01197> (8799)_.
And when the LORD
<03068>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that he turned aside
<05493> (8804)
to see
<07200> (8800)_,
God
<0430>
called
<07121> (8799)
unto him out of the midst
<08432>
of the bush
<05572>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Moses
<04872>_,
Moses
<04872>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Draw not nigh
<07126> (8799)
hither
<01988>_:
put off
<05394> (8798)
thy shoes
<05275>
from off thy feet
<07272>_,
for the place
<04725>
whereon
<0834>
thou standest
<05975> (8802)
[is] holy
<06944>
ground
<0127>_.
Moreover he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] the God
<0430>
of thy father
<01>_,
the God
<0430>
of Abraham
<085>_,
the God
<0430>
of Isaac
<03327>_,
and the God
<0430>
of Jacob
<03290>_.
And Moses
<04872>
hid
<05641> (8686)
his face
<06440>_;
for he was afraid
<03372> (8804)
to look
<05027> (8687)
upon God
<0430>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I have surely
<07200> (8800)
seen
<07200> (8804)
the affliction
<06040>
of my people
<05971>
which [are] in Egypt
<04714>_,
and have heard
<08085> (8804)
their cry
<06818>
by reason
<06440>
of their taskmasters
<05065> (8802)_;
for I know
<03045> (8804)
their sorrows
<04341>_;
And I am come down
<03381> (8799)
to deliver
<05337> (8687)
them out of the hand
<03027>
of the Egyptians
<04714>_,
and to bring
<05927> (8687)
them up out of that land
<0776>
unto a good
<02896>
land
<0776>
and a large
<07342>_,
unto a land
<0776>
flowing
<02100> (8802)
with milk
<02461>
and honey
<01706>_;
unto the place
<04725>
of the Canaanites
<03669>_,
and the Hittites
<02850>_,
and the Amorites
<0567>_,
and the Perizzites
<06522>_,
and the Hivites
<02340>_,
and the Jebusites
<02983>_.
Now therefore, behold, the cry
<06818>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
is come
<0935> (8804)
unto me: and I have also seen
<07200> (8804)
the oppression
<03906>
wherewith the Egyptians
<04714>
oppress
<03905> (8801)
them.
Come
<03212> (8798)
now therefore, and I will send
<07971> (8799)
thee unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
that thou mayest bring forth
<03318> (8685)
my people
<05971>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
out of Egypt
<04714>_.
And Moses
<04872>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto God
<0430>_,
Who [am] I, that I should go
<03212> (8799)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and that I should bring forth
<03318> (8686)
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
out of Egypt
<04714>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Certainly I will be with thee; and this [shall be] a token
<0226>
unto thee, that
<03588>
I have sent
<07971> (8804)
thee: When thou hast brought forth
<03318> (8687)
the people
<05971>
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
ye shall serve
<05647> (8799)
God
<0430>
upon this mountain
<02022>_.
