1 Now these H428 W-PMP are the names H8034 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , which came H935 into Egypt H4714 TFS-3FS ; every man H376 NMS and his household H1004 came H935 with H854 PREP Jacob H3290 .
2 Reuben H7205 , Simeon H8095 , Levi H3878 , and Judah H3063 ,
3 Issachar H3485 , Zebulun H2074 , and Benjamin H1144 ,
4 Dan H1835 , and Naphtali H5321 , Gad H1410 , and Asher H836 .
5 And all H3605 NMS the souls H5315 GFS that came out H3318 VQCMP of the loins H3409 of Jacob H3290 were H1961 W-VPY3MS seventy H7657 ONUM souls H5315 GFS : for Joseph H3130 was H1961 W-VPY3MS in Egypt H4714 already .
6 And Joseph H3130 died H4191 W-VQY3MS , and all H3605 W-CMS his brethren H251 NMP-3MS , and all H3605 W-CMS that H1931 generation H1755 .
7 And the children H1121 W-CMP of Israel H3478 were fruitful H6509 , and increased abundantly H8317 , and multiplied H7235 W-VQY3MP , and waxed exceeding mighty H6105 ; and the land H776 D-GFS was filled H4390 W-VNY3FS with H854 them .
8 Now there arose up H6965 W-VQY3MS a new H2319 king H4428 NMS over H5921 PREP Egypt H4714 , which H834 RPRO knew H3045 VQQ3MS not H3808 ADV Joseph H3130 .
9 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP his people H5971 , Behold H2009 IJEC , the people H5971 NMS of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 are more H7227 AMS and mightier H6099 than H4480 M-PREP-3MS we :
10 Come H3051 VQI2MS-3FS on , let us deal wisely H2449 with them ; lest H6435 CONJ they multiply H7235 VQQ3MS , and it come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS , that , when H3588 CONJ there falleth out H7122 any war H4421 NFS , they H1931 PPRO-3MS join H3254 also H1571 CONJ unto H5921 PREP our enemies H8130 , and fight H3898 against us , and so get them up H5927 out of H4480 PREP the land H776 D-GFS .
11 Therefore they did set H7760 W-VQY3MP over H5921 PREP-3MS them taskmasters H8269 CMP to H4616 L-CONJ afflict H6031 them with their burdens H5450 . And they built H1129 W-VQY3MS for Pharaoh H6547 treasure H4543 cities H5892 , Pithom H6619 and Rameses H7486 .
12 But the more H834 they afflicted H6031 them , the more H3651 ADV they multiplied H7235 VQQ3MS and grew H3651 ADV . And they were grieved H6973 because H6440 M-CMP of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 LMS .
13 And the Egyptians H4714 made the children H1121 of Israel H3478 to serve H5647 with rigor H6531 :
14 And they made their lives H2416 bitter H4843 with hard H7186 bondage H5656 , in mortar H2563 , and in brick H3843 , and in all manner H3605 NMS of service H5656 in the field H7704 B-NMS : all H3605 NMS their service H5656 , wherein H834 RPRO they made them serve H5647 VQQ3MP , was with rigor H6531 .
15 And the king H4428 NMS of Egypt H4714 EFS spoke H559 W-VQY3MS to the Hebrew H5680 midwives H3205 , of which H834 RPRO the name H8034 CMS of the one H259 D-ONUM was Shiphrah H8236 , and the name H8034 W-CMS of the other H8145 D-ONUM Puah H6326 :
16 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , When ye do the office of a midwife H3205 to the Hebrew women H5680 , and see H7200 them upon H5921 PREP the stools H70 ; if H518 PART it H1931 PPRO-3FS be a son H1121 NMS , then ye shall kill H4191 him : but if H518 PART it H1931 PPRO-3FS be a daughter H1323 CFS , then she shall live H2425 .
17 But the midwives H3205 feared H3372 God H430 D-EDP , and did H6213 VQQ3MP not H3808 W-NPAR as H834 K-RPRO the king H4428 NMS of Egypt H4714 commanded H1696 VPQ3MS them , but saved H2421 the men children H3206 alive .
18 And the king H4428 NMS of Egypt H4714 EFS called for H7121 W-VQY3MS the midwives H3205 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto them , Why H4069 IPRO have ye done H6213 this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS , and have saved H2421 the men children H3206 alive ?
19 And the midwives H3205 said H559 unto H413 PREP Pharaoh H6547 EMS , Because H3588 CONJ the Hebrew women H5680 are not H3808 NADV as the Egyptian H4713 women H802 ; for H3588 CONJ they H2007 PPRO-3FP are lively H2422 , and are delivered H3205 ere H2962 B-ADV the midwives H3205 come in H935 VQY2MS unto H413 PREP them .
20 Therefore God H430 EDP dealt well H3190 with the midwives H3205 : and the people H5971 multiplied H7235 , and waxed very mighty H6105 .
21 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , because H3588 CONJ the midwives H3205 feared H3372 God H430 D-EDP , that he made H6213 W-VQY3MS them houses H1004 .
22 And Pharaoh H6547 EMS charged H6680 W-VPY3MS all H3605 NMS his people H5971 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Every H3605 NMS son H1121 that is born H3209 ye shall cast H7993 into the river H2975 , and every H3605 NMS daughter H1323 ye shall save alive H2421 .
