The Second Book Of Moses Called Exodus - GENEVA BIBLE …

1 The Second book Of Moses Called Exodus The Argument After that Jacob by God s commandment Genesis 46:3; had brought his family into Egypt, where they remained for the space of four hundred years, and of seventy persons grew to an infinite number, so that the King and the country grudged and endeavored both by tyranny and cruel slavery to suppress them; the Lord according to his promise Genesis 15:14; had compassion of his Church, and delivered them, but plagued their enemies in most strange and sundry sorts. And the more that the tyranny of the wicked enraged against his Church, the more did his heavy judgments increase against them, till Pharaoh and his army were drowned in the same Sea, which gave an entry and passage to the children of God, but as the ingratitude of man is great, so did they immediately forget Gods wonderful benefits.

2 And albeit he had given them the Passover to be a sign and memorial of the same, yet they fell to distrust, and tempted God with sundry murmurings and grudgings against him and his ministers: sometime moved with ambition, sometime for lack of drink or meat to content their lusts, sometime by idolatry, or such like. Wherefore God visited them with sharp rods and plagues, that by his corrections they might seek to him for remedy against his scourges, and earnestly repent them for their rebellions and wickedness. And because God loveth them to the end, whom he hath once begun to love, he punished them not according to their deserts, but dealt with them in great mercies, and ever with new benefits labored to overcome their malice; for he still governed them and gave them his word and Law, both concerning the manner of serving him, and also the form of judgments and civil policy; to the intent that they should not serve God after their own inventions, but according to that order, which his heavenly wisdom had appointed.

4 22 The sons of the Hebrews are commanded to be cast into the river. 1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt (every man and his household came thither with Jacob.) 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 5 So all the souls, that came out of the loins of Jacob, were seventy souls; Joseph was in Egypt already. 6 Now Joseph died and all his brethren, and that whole generation. 7 And the children of Israel brought forth fruit and increased in abundance, and were multiplied, and were exceeding mighty, so that the land was full of them. 8 Then there rose up a new King in Egypt, who knew not Joseph.

5 9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are greater and mightier than we. 10 Come, let us work wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that if there be war, they join themselves also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them out of the land. 11 Therefore did they set taskmasters over them, to keep them under with burdens. And they built the cities Pithom and Raamses for the treasures of Pharaoh. 12 But the more they vexed them, the more they multiplied and grew. Therefore they were more grieved against the children of Israel. 13 Wherefore the Egyptians by cruelty caused the children of Israel to serve.

6 14 Thus they made them weary of their lives by sore labor in clay and in brick, and in all work in the field, with all manner of bondage, which they laid upon them most cruelly. 15 Moreover the King of Egypt commanded the midwives of the Hebrew women, (of which the one's name was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah.) 16 And said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the women of the Hebrews, and see them on their stools, if it be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it be a daughter, then let her live. 17 Notwithstanding the midwives feared God, and did not as the King of Egypt commanded them, but preserved alive the men children. 18 Then the King of Egypt Called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done thus, and have preserved alive the men children?

7 19 And the midwives answered Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the women of Egypt; for they are lively, and are delivered before the midwives come at them. 20 God therefore prospered the midwives, and the people multiplied, and were very mighty. 21 And because the midwives feared God, therefore he made them houses. 22 Then Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every man child that is born, cast ye into the river, but reserve every maid child alive. Exodus 2 2 Moses is born and cast into the flags. 5 He is taken up of Pharaoh's daughter, and kept. 12 He killeth the Egyptian. 15 He fleeth and marrieth a wife. 23 The Israelites cry unto the Lord.

8 1 Then there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi, 2 And the woman conceived and bare a son; and when she saw that he was fair, she hid him three months. 3 But when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark made of reed, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and laid the child therein, and put it among the bulrushes by the river s brink. 4 Now his sister stood afar off, to wit what would come of him. 5 Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash her in the river, and her maidens walked by the river s side; and when she saw the ark among the bulrushes, she sent her maid to fetch it. 6 Then she opened it, and saw it was a child: and behold, the babe wept: so she had compassion on it, and said, This is one of the Hebrew s children.

9 7 Then said his sister unto Pharaoh s daughter, Shall I go and call unto thee a nurse of the Hebrew women to nurse thee the child? 8 And Pharaoh s daughter said to her, Go. So the maid went and Called the child s mother, 9 To whom Pharaoh s daughter said, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will reward thee. Then the woman took the child and nursed him. 10 Now the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh s daughter, and he was as her son, and she Called his name Moses , because, said she, I drew him out of the water. 11 And in those days, when Moses was grown, he went forth unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens; also he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.

10 12 And he looked round about, and when he saw no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. 13 Again he came forth the Second day, and behold, two Hebrew s strove; and he said unto him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? 14 And he answered, Who made thee a man of authority, and a judge over us? Thinkest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? Then Moses feared and said, Certainly this thing is known. 15 Now Pharaoh heard this matter, and sought to slay Moses . Therefore Moses fled from Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well. 16 And the Priest of Midian had seven daughters, which came and drew water, and filled the troughs, for to water their father s sheep.
