Exodus 2
2:1And there was a certain man from the tribe of Levi, and he took of the daughters of Levi, and had her.
2:2And she conceived in the womb, and bore a male. And seeing that it was fair, they sheltered it three months.
2:3But when they were not able to hide it any longer, his mother took for him a wicker basket of papyrus, and besmeared it with tar, and put the male child into it, and put it into the marsh by the river.
2:4And his sister spied out far off to learn what would result to him.
2:5And the daughter of Pharaoh went down to bathe upon the river, and her handmaidens came near unto the river. And they saw the wicker basket in the marsh, and she sent the handmaiden to take it up.
2:6And opening, she sees a male child weeping in the wicker basket. And the daughter of Pharaoh spared him, and said, This one is from the male children of the Hebrews.
2:7And his sister said to the daughter of Pharaoh, If you want I will call for you a woman nursing from the Hebrews, and she will suckle for you the male child.
2:8And the daughter of Pharaoh said to her, Go! And going, the young woman called the mother of the male child.
2:9And the daughter of Pharaoh said to her, Carefully keep for me this male child, and suckle it for me, and I will give to you the wage. And the woman took the male child, and suckled it.
2:10And the male child maturing, she brought it to the daughter of Pharaoh. And he became to her for a son. And she named his name Moses. Saying, For from the water I took him up.
2:11And it came to pass in those many days, Moses becoming older, he went forth to his brethren of the sons of Israel. And contemplating their misery, he saw an Egyptian man beating a certain Hebrew of his own brethren of the sons of Israel.
2:12And looking about here on this side and here on that side he did not see anyone. And striking the Egyptian, he hid him in the sand.
2:13And coming forth the second day, he saw two men, Hebrews skirmishing. And he says to the one in the wrong, Why do you beat your neighbor?
2:14And he said, Who placed you magistrate and judge over us? Is it that you want to do away with me in which manner you did away yesterday with the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely thus this thing has become apparent.
2:15And Pharaoh heard about this thing, and he sought to do away with Moses. But Moses withdrew from the face of Pharaoh, and he dwelt in the land of Midian. And coming into the land of Midian, he sat at the well.
2:16And to the priest of Midian there were seven daughters tending the sheep of their father Jethro. And they came to draw water until they filled the troughs to water the sheep of their father Jethro.
2:17And coming, the shepherds cast them away. But Moses rose up to rescue them, and he drew water for them, and he watered their sheep.
2:18And they came to Reuel their father. And he said to them, Why is it that you hastened to come today?
2:19And they said, An Egyptian man rescued us from the shepherds, and he drew water for us, and he watered our sheep.
2:20And he said to his daughters, And where is he, and why thus have you left the man? You call him indeed! that he may eat bread.
2:21And Moses settled by the man. And he handed over Zipporah his daughter to Moses as wife.
2:22And conceiving in the womb, the woman bore a son, and Moses named his name Gershom, saying that, I am a sojourner in an alien land. And still again conceiving, she bore a second son, and he called his name Eliezer, saying that, the God of my father, my helper, also rescued me from the hand of Pharaoh.
2:23And after those many days, the king of Egypt came to an end, and the sons of Israel groaned from the works, and yelled out. And their yell ascended to God because of the works.
2:24And God listened to their moaning, and God remembered his covenant, the one with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob.
2:25And God looked upon the sons of Israel, and he was made known to them.
