44:007:012 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out
our fathers first.
44:007:013 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren;
and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
44:007:014 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all
his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
44:007:015 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
44:007:016 And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre
that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor
the father of Sychem.
44:007:017 But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had
sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
44:007:018 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
44:007:019 The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated
our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to
the end they might not live.
44:007:020 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and
nourished up in his father's house three months:
44:007:021 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and
nourished him for her own son.
44:007:022 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and
was mighty in words and in deeds.
44:007:023 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart
to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
44:007:024 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and
avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
44:007:025 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that
God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
44:007:026 And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove,
and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are
brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
44:007:027 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying,
Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
44:007:028 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
44:007:029 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land
of Madian, where he begat two sons.
44:007:030 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in
the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame
of fire in a bush.
44:007:031 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew
near to behold it, the voice of the LORD came unto him,
44:007:032 Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled,
and durst not behold.
44:007:033 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet:
for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
