Now these H428 are the names H8034 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 who came H935 to Egypt H4714 with Jacob H3290; they came H935, each H376 one H376 [fn]with his household H1004:

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:2 - Reuben H7205, Simeon H8095, Levi H3878, and Judah H3063;

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:5 - [fn]All H3605 the people H5315 who descended H3318 H3409 from Jacob H3290 were seventy H7657 [fn]people H5315, but Joseph H3130 was already in Egypt H4714.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:6 - And Joseph H3130 died H4191, and all H3605 his brothers H251 and all H3605 that generation H1755.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:7 - But the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 were H6509 fruitful H6509 and [fn]increased H8317 greatly H8317, and multiplied H7235, and became H6105 exceedingly H3966 [fn]mighty H6105, so that the land H776 was filled H4390 with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:8 -

Now a new H2319 king H4428 arose H6965 over H5921 Egypt H4714, who H834 did not know H3045 Joseph H3130.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:9 - And he said H559 to his people H5971, “Behold H2009, the people H5971 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 are [fn]too H4480 many H7227 and too mighty H6099 for us.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:10 - “Come H3051, let us deal H2449 [fn]shrewdly H2449 with them, otherwise H6435 they will multiply H7235, and [fn]in the event H1961 H3588 H7122 of war H4421, they will also H1571 join H3254 those who H834 hate H8130 us, and fight H3898 against us and [fn]depart H5927 from the land H776.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:11 - So they appointed H7760 taskmasters H8269 H4522 over H5921 them to oppress H6031 them with [fn]hard H5450 labor H5450. And they built H1129 for Pharaoh H6547 storage H4543 cities H5892, Pithom H6619 and Raamses H7486.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:12 - But the more H834 they oppressed H6031 them, the more H3651 they multiplied H7235 and the more H3651 they [fn]spread H6555 out H6555, so that they dreaded H6973 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:13 - The Egyptians H4714 [fn]used violence H6531 to compel the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 to labor H5647;
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:14 - and they made H4843 their lives H2416 bitter H4843 with hard H7186 labor H5656 in mortar H2563 and bricks H3843 and at all H3605 kinds of labor H5656 in the field H7704, all H3605 their labors H5656 which H834 they violently H6531 had them perform H5647 as H5647 slaves H5647.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:15 -

Then the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 spoke H559 to the Hebrew H5680 midwives H3205, one H259 of whom H834 [fn]was named H8034 Shiphrah H8236, and the other H8145 [fn]was named H8034 Puah H6326;

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:16 - and he said H559, “When you are helping the Hebrew H5680 women H5680 to give H3205 birth H3205 and see H7200 them upon the birthstool H70, if H518 it is a son H1121, then you shall put H4191 him to H4191 death H4191; but if H518 it is a daughter H1323, then she shall live H2421.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:17 - But the midwives H3205 [fn]feared H3372 God H430, and did not do H6213 as the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 had [fn]commanded H1696 them, but let the boys H3206 live H2421.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:18 - So the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 called H7121 for the midwives H3205 and said H559 to them, “Why H4069 have you done H6213 this H2088 thing H1697, and let the boys H3206 live H2421?”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:19 - The midwives H3205 said H559 to Pharaoh H6547, “Because H3588 the Hebrew H5680 women H5680 are not like the Egyptian H4713 women H802; for they are vigorous H2422 and give H3205 birth H3205 before H2962 the midwife H3205 [fn]can H935 get H935 to them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:20 - So God H430 was H3190 good H3190 to the midwives H3205, and the people H5971 multiplied H7235, and became H6105 very H3966 [fn]mighty H6105.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:21 - And because H3588 the midwives H3205 [fn]feared H3372 God H430, He [fn]established H6213 [fn]households H1004 for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:22 - Then Pharaoh H6547 commanded H6680 all H3605 his people H5971, saying H559, “Every H3605 son H1121 who is born H3209, [fn]you are to throw H7993 into the Nile H2975, but every H3605 daughter H1323, you are to keep H2421 alive H2421.”
