7:13. And at the second time, Joseph was known by his brethren: and his kindred was made known to Pharao. 7:14. And Joseph sending, called thither Jacob, his father, and all his kindred, seventy-five souls. 7:15. So Jacob went down into Egypt. And he died, and our fathers. 7:16. And they were translated into Sichem and were laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hemor, the son of Sichem. 7:17. And when the time of the promise drew near, which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased and were multiplied in Egypt. 7:18. Till another king arose in Egypt, who knew not Joseph. 7:19. This same, dealing craftily with our race, afflicted our fathers, that they should expose their children, to the end they might not be kept alive. 7:20. At the same time was Moses born: and he was acceptable to God. Who was nourished three months in his father's house. 7:21. And when he was exposed, Pharao's daughter took him up and nourished him for her own son. 7:22. And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians: and he was mighty in his words and in his deeds. 7:23. And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel. 7:24. And when he had seen one of them suffer wrong, he defended him: and striking the Egyptian, he avenged him who suffered the injury. 7:25. And he thought that his brethren understood that God by his hand would save them. But they understood it not. 7:26. And the day following, he shewed himself to them when they were at strife and would have reconciled them in peace, saying: Men, ye are brethren. Why hurt you one another? 7:27. But he that did the injury to his neighbour thrust him away, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us: 7:28. What! Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian? 7:29. And Moses fled upon this word: and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begot two sons. 7:30. And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him, in the desert of mount Sina, an angel in a flame of fire in a bush. 7:31. And Moses seeing it wondered at the sight. And as he drew near to view it, the voice of the Lord came unto him, saying: 7:32. I am the God of thy fathers: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. And Moses being terrified durst not behold. 7:33. And the Lord said to him: Loose the shoes from thy feet: for the place wherein thou standest is holy ground. 7:34. Seeing, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt: and I have heard their groaning and am come down to deliver them. And now come: and I will send thee into Egypt. 7:35. This Moses, whom they refused, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge? Him God sent to be prince and redeemer, by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the burning bush.
