1A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.
2The woman conceived and bore a son . When she saw that he was a fine child , she hid him three months .
3When she could no longer hide him , she took a papyrus basket for him , and coated it with tar and with pitch . She put the child in it , and laid it in the reeds by the river ’s bank .
4His sister stood far off , to see what would be done to him .
5Pharaoh ’s daughter came down to bathe at the river . Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket amongst the reeds , and sent her servant to get it .
6She opened it , and saw the child , and behold , the baby cried . She had compassion on him , and said, “This is one of the Hebrews ’ children .”
7Then his sister said to Pharaoh ’s daughter , “Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women , that she may nurse the child for you ?”
8Pharaoh ’s daughter said to her , “Go .”
The young woman went and called the child ’s mother.
9Pharaoh ’s daughter said to her , “Take this child away , and nurse him for me , and I will give you your wages .”
The woman took the child , and nursed it .
10The child grew , and she brought him to Pharaoh ’s daughter , and he became her son . She named him Moses , and said , “Because I drew him out of the water .”[#2:10 “Moses” sounds like the Hebrew for “draw out”.]
11In those days , when Moses had grown up , he went out to his brothers and saw their burdens . He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew , one of his brothers.
12He looked this way and that way , and when he saw that there was no one , he killed the Egyptian , and hid him in the sand .
13He went out the second day , and behold , two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other . He said to him who did the wrong , “Why do you strike your fellow ?”
14He said , “Who made you a prince and a judge over us ? Do you plan to kill me , as you killed the Egyptian ?”
Moses was afraid , and said , “Surely this thing is known .”
15Now when Pharaoh heard this thing , he sought to kill Moses . But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh , and lived in the land of Midian , and he sat down by a well.
16Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters . They came and drew water , and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock .
17The shepherds came and drove them away ; but Moses stood up and helped them , and watered their flock .
18When they came to Reuel , their father, he said, “How is it that you have returned so early today ?”
19They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds , and moreover he drew water for us , and watered the flock .”
20He said to his daughters , “Where is he ? Why is it that you have left the man ? Call him , that he may eat bread .”
21Moses was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses Zipporah , his daughter .
22She bore a son , and he named him Gershom , for he said , “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land.”[#2:22 “Gershom” sounds like the Hebrew for “an alien there”.]
23In the course of those many days , the king of Egypt died , and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage , and they cried , and their cry came up to God because of the bondage .
24God heard their groaning , and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac , and with Jacob .
25God saw the children of Israel , and God understood .
