Exodus 2 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 There was a man from the family of Levi who decided to marry a woman from the tribe of Levi.
2 She became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy. The mother saw how beautiful the baby was and hid him for three months.
3 She hid him for as long as she could. After three months she made a basket and covered it with tar so that it would float. Then she put the baby in the basket and put the basket in the river in the tall grass.
4 The baby's sister stayed and watched to see what would happen to the baby.
5 Just then, Pharaoh's daughter went to the river to bathe. She saw the basket in the tall grass. Her servants were walking beside the river, so she told one of them to go get the basket.
6 The king's daughter opened the basket and saw a baby boy. The baby was crying and she felt sorry for it. Then she noticed that it was one of the Hebrew babies.
7 The baby's sister was still hiding. She stood and asked the king's daughter, "Do you want me to go find a Hebrew woman who can nurse the baby and help you care for it?"
8 The king's daughter said, "Yes, please." So the girl went and brought the baby's own mother.
9 The king's daughter said to the mother, "Take this baby and feed him for me. I'll pay you to take care of him." So the woman took her baby and cared for him.
10 The baby grew, and after some time, the woman gave the baby to the king's daughter. The king's daughter accepted the baby as her own son. She named him Moses because she had pulled him from the water.
11 Moses grew and became a man. He saw that his own people, the Hebrews, were forced to work very hard. One day he saw an Egyptian man beating a Hebrew man.
12 Moses looked around and saw that no one was watching, so he killed the Egyptian and buried him in the sand.
13 The next day Moses saw two Hebrew men fighting each other. He saw that one man was wrong and said to him, "Why are you hurting your neighbor?"
14 The man answered, "Did anyone say you could be our ruler and judge? Tell me, will you kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?" Then Moses was afraid. He thought to himself, "Now everyone knows what I did."
15 Pharaoh heard about what Moses did, so he decided to kill him. But Moses ran away from Pharaoh and went to the land of Midian. Moses stopped near a well in Midian.
16 There was a priest there who had seven daughters. These girls came to that well to get water for their father's sheep. They were trying to fill the water trough with water.
17 But there were some shepherds there who chased the girls away and would not let them get water. So Moses helped the girls and gave water to their animals.
18 Then they went back to their father, Reuel. He asked them, "Why have you come home early today?"
19 The girls answered, "The shepherds chased us away, but an Egyptian rescued us. He got water for us and gave it to our animals."
20 So Reuel said to his daughters, "Where is this man? Why did you leave him? Go invite him to eat with us."
21 Moses was happy to stay with that man. Reuel let Moses marry his daughter, Zipporah.
22 Zipporah became pregnant and had a son. Moses named him Gershom because Moses was a stranger in a land that was not his own.
23 A long time passed and that king of Egypt died. But the Israelites were still forced to work very hard. They cried for help, and God heard them.
24 God heard their painful cries and remembered the agreement he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 God saw the troubles of the Israelites, and he knew that he would soon help them.
1 And there went H1980 W-VQY3MS a man H376 NMS of the house H1004 of Levi H3878 , and took H3947 W-VQY3MS to wife a daughter H1323 CFS of Levi H3878 .
2 And the woman H802 D-NFS conceived H2029 W-VQY3FS , and bore H3205 W-VQY3FS a son H1121 NMS : and when she saw H7200 W-VQQ3FS him that H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS was a goodly H2896 AMS child , she hid H6845 him three H7969 NFS months H3391 .
3 And when she could H3201 not H3808 W-NPAR longer H5750 ADV hide H6845 him , she took H3947 for him an ark H8392 CFS of bulrushes H1573 NMS , and daubed H2560 it with slime H2564 and with pitch H2203 , and put H7760 the child H3206 therein ; and she laid H7760 it in the flags H5488 by H5921 PREP the river H2975 \'s brink H8193 CFS .
4 And his sister H269 stood H3320 afar off H7350 , to know H3045 what H4100 IPRO would be done H6213 to him .
5 And the daughter H1323 CFS of Pharaoh H6547 EMS came down H3381 to wash H7364 herself at H5921 PREP the river H2975 ; and her maidens H5291 walked along H1980 by H5921 PREP the river H2975 \'s side H3027 CFS ; and when she saw H7200 W-VQQ3FS the ark H8392 D-NFS among H8432 B-NMS the flags H5488 , she sent H7971 her maid H519 to fetch H3947 it .
6 And when she had opened H6605 it , she saw H7200 the child H3206 : and , behold H2009 IJEC , the babe H5288 wept H1058 . And she had compassion H2550 on H5921 PREP-3MS him , and said H559 W-VQY3FS , This H2088 is one of the Hebrews\' children H3206 .
7 Then said H559 W-VQY3FS his sister H269 to H413 PREP Pharaoh H6547 EMS \'s daughter H1323 CFS , Shall I go H1980 and call H7121 to thee a nurse H802 NFS of H4480 PREP the Hebrew women H5680 , that she may nurse H3243 the child H3206 for thee ?
8 And Pharaoh H6547 EMS \'s daughter H1323 CFS said H559 to her , Go H1980 . And the maid H5959 went H1980 W-VQQ3FS and called H7121 W-VQY2MS the child H3206 \'s mother H517 GFS .
9 And Pharaoh H6547 EMS \'s daughter H1323 CFS said H559 W-VQY3FS unto her , Take this child away H1980 , and nurse H3243 it for me , and I H589 W-PPRO-1MS will give H5414 VQY1MS thee thy wages H7939 . And the woman H802 D-NFS took H3947 W-VQY3FS the child H3206 , and nursed H5134 it .
10 And the child H3206 grew H1431 , and she brought H935 him unto Pharaoh H6547 EMS \'s daughter H1323 , and he became H1961 W-VPY3MS her son H1121 . And she called H7121 W-VQY2MS his name H8034 CMS-3MS Moses H4872 : and she said H559 W-VQY3FS , Because H3588 CONJ I drew H4871 him out of H4480 PREP the water H4325 D-CMS .
11 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS in those H1992 D-PPRO-3MP days H3117 BD-NMP , when Moses H4872 was grown H1431 , that he went out H3318 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP his brethren H251 NMP-3MS , and looked H7200 W-VIY3MS on their burdens H5450 : and he spied H7200 W-VIY3MS an Egyptian H4713 smiting H5221 a Hebrew H5680 TMS , one of his brethren H251 .
12 And he looked H6437 this way H3541 and that way H3541 , and when he saw H7200 W-VIY3MS that H3588 CONJ there was no H369 NPAR man H376 NMS , he slew H5221 W-VHY3MS the Egyptian H4713 , and hid H2934 him in the sand H2344 .
13 And when he went out H3318 W-VQY3MS the second H8145 D-ONUM day H3117 B-AMS , behold H2009 IJEC , two H8147 men H376 NMP of the Hebrews H5680 strove together H5327 : and he said H559 W-VQY3MS to him that did the wrong H7563 , Wherefore H4100 L-IPRO smitest H5221 thou thy fellow H7453 ?
14 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Who H4310 IPRO made H7760 thee a prince H8269 and a judge H8199 over H5921 PREP-1MP us ? intendest H559 W-VQY3MS thou H859 PPRO-2MS to kill H2026 me , as H834 K-RPRO thou killedst H2026 the Egyptian H4713 ? And Moses H4872 feared H3372 W-VQY3MS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Surely H403 ADV this thing H1697 is known H3045 .
15 Now when Pharaoh H6547 EMS heard H8085 this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS , he sought H1245 to slay H2026 Moses H4872 . But Moses H4872 fled H1272 W-VQY3MS from the face H6440 M-CMP of Pharaoh H6547 EMS , and dwelt H3427 W-VQY3MS in the land H776 B-GFS of Midian H4080 : and he sat down H3427 W-VQY3MS by H5921 PREP a well H875 .
16 Now the priest H3548 of Midian H4080 had seven H7651 MFS daughters H1323 : and they came H935 and drew H1802 water , and filled H4390 the troughs H7298 to water H8248 L-VHFC their father H1 \'s flock H6629 NMS .
17 And the shepherds H7462 came H935 W-VQY3MP and drove them away H1644 : but Moses H4872 stood up H6965 W-VQY3MS and helped H3467 them , and watered H8248 their flock H6629 .
18 And when they came H935 to H413 PREP Reuel H7467 their father H1 , he said H559 W-VQY3MS , How H4069 IPRO is it that ye are come H935 so soon H4116 today H3117 D-NMS ?
19 And they said H559 , An Egyptian H4713 delivered H5337 us out of the hand H3027 M-GFS of the shepherds H7462 , and also H1571 W-CONJ drew water enough H1802 for us , and watered H8248 the flock H6629 .
20 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP his daughters H1323 , And where H346 is he ? why H4100 L-IPRO is it H2088 PMS that ye have left H5800 the man H376 D-NMS ? call H7121 him , that he may eat H398 bread H3899 NMS .
21 And Moses H4872 was content H2974 to dwell H3427 L-VQFC with H854 PREP the man H376 D-NMS : and he gave H5414 W-VQQ3MS Moses H4872 Zipporah H6855 his daughter H1323 .
22 And she bore H3205 W-VQY3FS him a son H1121 NMS , and he called H7121 W-VQY3MS his name H8034 CMS-3MS Gershom H1648 : for H3588 CONJ he said H559 VQQ3MS , I have been H1961 VQQ1MS a stranger H1616 NMS in a strange H5237 land H776 B-GFS .
23 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS in process of time H3117 , that the king H4428 NMS of Egypt H4714 EFS died H4191 W-VQY3MS : and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 sighed H584 by reason of H4480 PREP the bondage H5656 , and they cried H2199 , and their cry H7775 came up H5927 W-VHY2MS unto H413 PREP God H430 D-EDP by reason of H4480 PREP the bondage H5656 .
24 And God H430 EDP heard H8085 their groaning H5009 , and God H430 EDP remembered H2142 W-VQY3MS his covenant H1285 with H854 PREP Abraham H85 , with H854 PREP Isaac H3327 , and with H854 W-PART Jacob H3290 .
25 And God H430 EDP looked upon H7200 W-VIY3MS the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and God H430 NAME-4MP had respect H3045 W-VQY3MS unto them .
