"NOW these are the names of the children of Yisra᾽el who came into Miżrayim, with Ya῾aqov; every man came with his household.",
"Re᾽uven, Shim῾on, Levi, and Yehuda;",
"Yissakhar, Zevulun, and Binyamin;",
"Dan, Naftali, Gad, and Asher.",
"And all the souls that came out of the loins of Ya῾aqov were seventy souls: for Yosef was already in Miżrayim.",
"And Yosef died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.",
"And the children of Yisra᾽el were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.",
"Now there arose a new king over Miżrayim, who knew not Yosef.",
"And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Yisra᾽el are more and mightier than we:",
"come, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when any war should chance, they also join our enemies, and fight against us, and so go up out of the land.",
"Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Par῾o treasure cities, namely Pitom and Ra῾amses.",
"But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were mortified on account of the children of Yisra᾽el.",
"And Miżrayim made the children of Yisra᾽el serve with rigour:",
"and they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of bondage in the field: all their bondage, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.",
"And the king of Miżrayim spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shifra, and the name of the other Pu῾a:",
"and he said, When you do the office of midwife to the Hebrew women, you shall look upon the birth stones; if it be a son, then you shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.",
"But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Miżrayim commanded them, but saved the men children alive.",
"And the king of Miżrayim called for the midwives, and said to them, Why have you done this thing, and saved the men children alive?",
"And the midwives said to Par῾o, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Miżrian women; for they are lively, and are delivered before the midwives come to them.",
"Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.",
"And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.",
"And Par῾o charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born you shall cast into the River, and every daughter you shall save alive."
],
[
"And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.",
"And the woman conceived, and bore a son: and when she saw that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.",
"And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him a box made of papyrus, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child in it; and she laid it in the rushes by the River’s brink.",
"And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.",
"And the daughter of Par῾o came down to wash herself at the River; and her maidens walked along by the River’s side; and when she saw the box among the rushes, she sent her maid to fetch it.",
"And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, a weeping boy. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.",
"Then said his sister to Par῾o’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? And Par῾o’s daughter said to her, Go.",
"And the maid went and called the child’s mother.",
"And Par῾o’s daughter said to her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.",
"And the child grew, and she brought him to Par῾o’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moshe: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.",
"And it came to pass in those days, when Moshe was grown, that he went out to his brothers, and looked on their burdens: and he noticed a Miżrian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brothers.",
"And he looked this way and that, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Miżrian, and hid him in the sand.",
"And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that was in the wrong, Why dost thou smite thy fellow?",
"And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? dost thou intend to kill me, as thou didst kill the Miżrian? And Moshe feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.",
"Now when Par῾o heard this thing, he sought to slay Moshe. But Moshe fled from before Par῾o and dwelt in the land of Midyan: and he sat down by a well.",
"Now the priest of Midyan had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock. And the shepherds came and drove them away:",
"but Moshe stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.",
"And when they came to Re῾u᾽el their father, he said, How is it that you are come so soon today?",
"And they said, A Miżrian man delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.",
"And he said to his daughters, And where is he? why is it that you have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.",
"And Moshe was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moshe Żippora his daughter.",
"And she bore him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.",
"And it came to pass in the course of those many days, that the king of Miżrayim died: and the children of Yisra᾽el sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry rose up to God by reason of the bondage.",
"And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Avraham, with Yiżĥaq, and with Ya῾aqov.",
"And God looked upon the children of Yisra᾽el, and God apprehended."
],
[
"Now Moshe kept the flock of Yitro his father in law, the priest of Midyan: and he led the flock far away into the desert, and came to the mountain of God, to Ḥorev.",
"And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, but the bush was not consumed.",
"And Moshe said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.",
"And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moshe, Moshe. And he said, Here I am.",
"And he said, Do not come near: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place on which thou dost stand is holy ground.",
"Moreover, he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Avraham, the God of Yiżĥaq, and the God of Ya῾aqov. And Moshe hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.",
"And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Miżrayim, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;",
"and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of Miżrayim, and to bring them up out of that land to a good land and a large, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Kena῾ani, and the Ḥitti, and the Emori, and the Perizzi, and the Ḥivvi, and the Yevusi.",
"Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Yisra᾽el is come to me: and I have also seen the oppression with which Miżrayim oppresses them.",
"Come now therefore, and I will send thee to Par῾o, that thou mayst bring my people the children of Yisra᾽el out of Miżrayim.",
"And Moshe said to God, Who am I, that I should go to Par῾o, and that I should bring the children of Yisra᾽el out of Miżrayim?",
"And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token to thee, that I have sent thee. When thou hast brought the people out of Miżrayim, you shall serve God upon this mountain.",
"And Moshe said to God, Behold, when I come to the children of Yisra᾽el, and shall say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say to them?",
"And God said to Moshe, Eheye Asher Eheye (I will ever be what I now am): and he said, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Yisra᾽el, Eheye (I Am) has sent me to you.",
"And God said moreover to Moshe, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Yisra᾽el, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Avraham the God of Yiżĥaq, and the God of Ya῾aqov, has sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial to all generations.",
"Go, and gather the elders of Yisra᾽el together, and say to them, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Avraham, of Yiżĥaq, and of Ya῾aqov, has appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Miżrayim:",
"and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Miżrayim to the land of the Kena῾ani, and the Ḥitti, and the Emori, and the Perizzi, and the Ḥivvi, and the Yevusi, to a land flowing with milk and honey.",
"And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Yisra᾽el, to the king of Miżrayim, and you shall say to him, The Lord God of the Hebrews has met with us: and now let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.",
"And I know that the king of Miżrayim will not let you go, if not by a mighty hand.",
"And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Miżrayim with all my wonders which I will do in their midst: and after that he will let you go.",
"And I will give this people favour in the sight of Miżrayim: and it shall come to pass, that, when you go, you shall not go empty:",
"but every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that sojourns in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and garments: and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters; and you shall despoil Miżrayim."
],
[
"And Moshe answered and said, But, behold they will not believe me, nor hearken to my voice: for they will say, The Lord has not appeared to thee.",
"And the Lord said to him, What is that in thy hand?",
"And he said, A rod. And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it turned into a snake; and Moshe fled from it.",
"And the Lord said to Moshe, Put out thy hand, and take it by its tail. And he put out his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:",
"that they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Avraham, the God of Yiżĥaq, and the God of Ya῾aqov, has appeared to thee.",
"And the Lord said furthermore to him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was diseased, as white as snow.",
"And he said, Put thy hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and when he took it out of his bosom, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.",
"And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, nor hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.",
"And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe even these two signs, nor hearken to thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the River, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou dost take out of the River shall become blood on the dry land.",
"And Moshe said to the Lord, O my Lord, I am not an eloquent man, neither yesterday nor the day before, nor since thou hast spoken to thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.",
"And the Lord said to him, Who has made man’s mouth? or who makes a man dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? is it not I the Lord?",
"Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.",
"And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.",
"And the anger of the Lord burned against Moshe, and he said, Is not Aharon the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he comes to meet thee: and when he sees thee, he will be glad in his heart.",
"And thou shalt speak to him, and put the words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.",
"And he shall be thy spokesman to the people: and he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.",
"And thou shalt take this rod in thy hand, with which thou shalt do the signs.",
"And Moshe went and returned to Yeter his father in law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return to my brethren who are in Miżrayim, and see whether they are still alive. And Yitro said to Moshe, Go in peace.",
"And the Lord said to Moshe in Midyan, Go return to Miżrayim: for all the men are dead who sought thy life.",
"And Moshe took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Miżrayim: and Moshe took the rod of God in his hand.",
"And the Lord said to Moshe, When thou goest to return to Miżrayim, see that thou do before Par῾o all those wonders which I have put in thy hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.",
"And thou shalt say to Par῾o, Thus says the Lord, Yisra᾽el is my son, my firstborn:",
"and I say to thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, thy firstborn.",
"And it came to pass on the way, in the place where they spent the night, that the Lord met him, and sought to kill him.",
"Then Żippora took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody bridegroom art thou to me.",
"So he let him go: then she said, A bloody bridegroom thou art, because of the circumcision.",
"And the Lord said to Aharon, Go to the wilderness to meet Moshe. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.",
"And Moshe told Aharon all the words of the Lord who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.",
"And Moshe and Aharon went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Yisra᾽el:",
"and Aharon spoke all the words which the Lord had spoken to Moshe, and did the signs in the sight of the people.",
"And the people believed: and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Yisra᾽el, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped."
],
[
"And afterwards Moshe and Aharon went in, and told Par῾o, Thus says the Lord God of Yisra᾽el, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.",
"And Par῾o said, Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice to let Yisra᾽el go? I know not the Lord, nor will I let Yisra᾽el go.",
"And they said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the desert, and sacrifice to the Lord our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.",
"And the king of Miżrayim said to them, Why do you, Moshe and Aharon, distract the people from their works? get you to your burdens.",
"And Par῾o, said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and you make them rest from their burdens.",
"And Par῾o the same day commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,",
"You shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.",
"And the quantity of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, you shall lay upon them; you shall not diminish aught of it: for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.",
"Let more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour in it; and let them not regard vain words.",
"And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Par῾o, I will not give you straw.",
"Go, get you straw wherever you can find it: yet nothing of your work shall be diminished.",
"So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Miżrayim to gather stubble for straw.",
"And the taskmasters urged them on, saying, Fulfill your work, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.",
"And the officers of the children of Yisra᾽el, whom Par῾o’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, saying, Wherefore have you not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and today, as heretofore?",
"Then the officers of the children of Yisra᾽el came and cried to Par῾o, saying, Why dost thou deal thus with thy servants?",
"There is no straw given to thy servants, and they say to us, Make bricks: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thy own people.",
"But he said, You are idle, you are idle: therefore you say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the Lord.",
"Go therefore now, and work; for no straw shall be given you, yet shall you deliver the quantity of bricks.",
"And the officers of the children of Yisra᾽el saw that they were in evil case, after it was said, You shall not in any way reduce your bricks or your daily task.",
"And they met Moshe and Aharon, who stood in the way, as they came out from Par῾o.",
"And they said to them, The Lord look upon you, and judge; because you have made us abhorrent in the eyes of Par῾o, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.",
"And Moshe returned to the Lord, and said, Lord, why hast thou dealt ill with this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?",
"for since I came to Par῾o to speak in thy name, he has done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all."
],
[
"Then the Lord said to Moshe, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Par῾o: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.",
"And God spoke to Moshe, and said to him, I am the Lord:",
"and I appeared to Avraham, to Yiżĥaq, and to Ya῾aqov, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name, The Lord, I was not known to them.",
"And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Kena῾an, the land of their sojournings, in which they sojourned.",
"And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Yisra᾽el, kept in bondage by Miżrayim; and I have remembered my covenant.",
"Therefore say to the children of Yisra᾽el, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of Miżrayim, and I will deliver you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments:",
"and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of Miżrayim.",
"And I will bring you into the land, which I swore to give to Avraham, to Yiżĥaq, and to Ya῾aqov; and I will give it you for a heritage: I am the Lord.",
"And Moshe spoke so to the children of Yisra᾽el: but they hearkened not to Moshe for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.",
"And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,",
"Go in, speak to Par῾o, king of Miżrayim, that he let the children of Yisra᾽el go out of his land.",
"And Moshe spoke before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Yisra᾽el have not hearkened to me; how then shall Par῾o hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?",
"And the Lord spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, and gave them a charge to the children of Yisra᾽el, and to Par῾o king of Miżrayim, to bring the children of Yisra᾽el out of the land of Miżrayim.",
"These are the heads of their fathers’ houses: the sons of Re᾽uven, the firstborn of Yisra᾽el, Ḥanokh and Pallu, Ḥeżron, and Karmi: these are the families of Re᾽uven.",
"And the sons of Shim῾on, Yemu᾽el and Yamin, and Ohad, and Yakhin, and Żoĥar, and Sha᾽ul the son of the Kena῾anite woman; these are the families of Shim῾on.",
"And these are the names of the sons of Levi, by generations, Gershon, and Qehat, and Merari: and the years of Levi’s life were a hundred and thirty seven years.",
"The sons of Gershon, Livni and Shim῾i, according to their families.",
"And the sons of Qehat, ῾Amram, and Yiżhar, and Ḥevron, and ῾Uzzi᾽el; and the years of the life of Qehat were a hundred and thirty three years.",
"And the sons of Merari were Maĥli and Mushi: these are the families of Levi by their generations.",
"And ῾Amram took him Yokheved his father’s sister to wife; and she bore him Aharon and Moshe: and the years of the life of ῾Amram were a hundred and thirty seven years.",
"And the sons of Yiżhar; Qoraĥ, and Nefeg, and Zikhri.",
"And the sons of ῾Uzzi᾽el; Misha᾽el, and Elżafan and Sitri.",
"And Aharon took him Elisheva daughter of ῾Amminadav, sister of Naĥshon, to wife; and she bore him Nadav, and Avihu, El῾azar and Itamar.",
"And the sons of Qoraĥ; Assir, and Elqana, and Avi᾽asaf: these are the families of the Qorĥi.",
"And El῾azar Aharon’s son took him one of the daughters of Puti᾽el to wife; and she bore him Pineĥas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families.",

"that the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying, I am the Lord: speak to Par῾o king of Miżrayim all that I say to thee.",
"And Moshe said before the Lord, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Par῾o hearken to me?"

[
"And the Lord said to Moshe, See, I have made thee a god to Par῾o: and Aharon thy brother shall be thy prophet.",
"Thou shall speak all that I command thee: and Aharon thy brother shall speak to Par῾o, that he send the children of Yisra᾽el out of his land.",
"And I will harden Par῾o’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Miżrayim.",
"But Par῾o shall not hearken to you, that I may lay my hand upon Miżrayim, and bring out my armies, my people the children of Yisra᾽el, out of the land of Miżrayim by great judgments.",

"When Par῾o shall speak to you, saying, Show a miracle for yourselves: then thou shalt say to Aharon, Take thy rod, and cast it before Par῾o, and it shall turn into a snake.",
"And Moshe and Aharon went in to Par῾o, and they did so as the Lord had commanded: and Aharon threw down his rod before Par῾o, and before his servants, and it turned into a snake.",
"Then Par῾o also called the wise men and the sorcerers: and the magicians of Miżrayim, they also did in like manner with their secret arts.",
"For they cast down every man his rod, and they turned to snakes: but Aharon’s rod swallowed up their rods.",
"And the heart of Par῾o was hardened, that he did not hearken to them; as the Lord had said.",
"And the Lord said to Moshe, Par῾o’s heart is hardened, he refuses to let the people go.",
"Get thee to Par῾o in the morning; lo, he goes out to the water; and thou shalt stand by the River’s brink to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a snake shalt thou take in thy hand.",
"And thou shalt say to him, The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, till now thou wouldst not hear.",
"Thus says the Lord, In this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the water in the River, and it shall be turned to blood.",
"And the fish that is in the River shall die, and the river shall stink; and Miżrayim shall no longer be able to drink the water of the River.",
"And the Lord spoke to Moshe, Say to Aharon, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand upon the waters of Miżrayim, upon their streams, upon their canals, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Miżrayim, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.",

"And the magicians did so with their secret arts, and brought up frogs on the land of Miżrayim.",
"Then Par῾o called to Moshe and Aharon, and said, Entreat the Lord, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice to the Lord.",
"And Moshe said to Par῾o, Challenge me to fix a time when I should entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the River only?",
"And he said, Tomorrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayst know that there is none like the Lord our God.",
"And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the River only.",

"And they did so; for Aharon stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Miżrayim.",
"And the magicians did so with their secret arts to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice on man and beast.",
