02:002:009 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away,
and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took
the child, and nursed it.
02:002:010 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's
daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she
said, Because I drew him out of the water.
02:002:011 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that
he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied
an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
02:002:012 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that
there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
02:002:013 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the
Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong,
Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
02:002:014 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us?
intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses
feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
02:002:015 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses.
But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of
Midian: and he sat down by a well.
02:002:016 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came
and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
02:002:017 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood
up and helped them, and watered their flock.
02:002:018 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it
that ye are come so soon to day?
02:002:019 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of
the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
02:002:020 And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it
that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
02:002:021 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave
Moses Zipporah his daughter.
02:002:022 And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for
he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
02:002:023 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of
Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage,
and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
02:002:024 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant
with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
02:002:025 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had
respect unto them.
02:003:001 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the
priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert,
and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
02:003:002 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of
fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush
burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
02:003:003 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great
sight, why the bush is not burnt.
