Now these are thenames of thechildren ofIsrael, whichcame intoEgypt; everyman and hishouseholdcame with Jacob.
2Reuben,Simeon,Levi, and Judah,
3Issachar,Zebulun, and Benjamin,
4Dan, andNaphtali,Gad, and Asher.
5 And all thesouls that cameout of theloins ofJacob wereseventysouls: forJoseph was in Egypt already.
6 AndJosephdied, and all hisbrethren, and all that generation.
7 And thechildren ofIsrael werefruitful, and increasedabundantly, andmultiplied, and waxedexceedingmighty; and theland was filled with them.
8 Now there aroseup anewking overEgypt, whichknew not Joseph.
9 And hesaid unto hispeople, Behold, thepeople of thechildren ofIsrael aremore and mightier than we:
10 Comeon, let us dealwisely with them; lest theymultiply, and it come to pass, that, when there fallethout anywar,theyjoin also unto ourenemies, andfight against us, and so get themup out of the land.
11 Therefore they didset over themtaskmasters toafflict them with theirburdens. And theybuilt forPharaohtreasurecities,Pithom and Raamses.
12 But the more theyafflicted them, themore theymultiplied andgrew. And they weregrievedbecause of thechildren of Israel.
13 And theEgyptiansmade thechildren ofIsrael toserve with rigour:
14 And theymade theirlivesbitter withhardbondage, inmorter, and inbrick, and in all manner ofservice in thefield: all theirservice, wherein they made themserve, was with rigour.
15 And theking ofEgyptspake to theHebrewmidwives, of which thename of theone wasShiphrah, and thename of theother Puah:
16 And hesaid, When ye do the office of amidwife to the Hebrewwomen, andsee them upon thestools; if it be ason, then ye shallkill him: but if it be adaughter, then she shall live.
17 But themidwivesfearedGod, anddid not as theking ofEgyptcommanded them, butsaved the menchildren alive.
18 And theking ofEgyptcalled for themidwives, andsaid unto them,Why have yedone thisthing, and havesaved the menchildren alive?
19 And themidwivessaid untoPharaoh, Because theHebrewwomen are not as the Egyptianwomen; for they arelively, and aredeliveredere themidwives come in unto them.
20 ThereforeGod dealtwell with themidwives: and thepeoplemultiplied, and waxedvery mighty.
21 And it came to pass, because themidwivesfearedGod, that hemade them houses.
22 AndPharaohcharged all hispeople,saying, Everyson that isborn ye shallcast into theriver, and everydaughter ye shall save alive.
