Dual Panel1Now these [are] the names <08034> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>_, which came <0935> (8802) into Egypt <04714>_; every man <0376> and his household <01004> came <0935> (8804) with Jacob <03290>_.
2Reuben <07205>_, Simeon <08095>_, Levi <03878>_, and Judah <03063>_,
3Issachar <03485>_, Zebulun <02074>_, and Benjamin <01144>_,
4Dan <01835>_, and Naphtali <05321>_, Gad <01410>_, and Asher <0836>_.
5And all the souls <05315> that came out <03318> (8802) of the loins <03409> of Jacob <03290> were seventy <07657> souls <05315>_: for Joseph <03130> was in Egypt <04714> [already]. {loins: Heb. thigh}
6And Joseph <03130> died <04191> (8799)_, and all his brethren <0251>_, and all that generation <01755>_.
7And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> were fruitful <06509> (8804)_, and increased abundantly <08317> (8799)_, and multiplied <07235> (8799)_, and waxed exceeding <03966> <03966> mighty <06105> (8799)_; and the land <0776> was filled <04390> (8735) with them.
8Now there arose up <06965> (8799) a new <02319> king <04428> over Egypt <04714>_, which knew <03045> (8804) not Joseph <03130>_.
9And he said <0559> (8799) unto his people <05971>_, Behold, the people <05971> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> [are] more <07227> and mightier <06099> than we:
10Come on <03051> (8798)_, let us deal wisely <02449> (8691) with them; lest they multiply <07235> (8799)_, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out <07122> (8799) any war <04421>_, they <01931> join <03254> (8738) also unto our enemies <08130> (8802)_, and fight <03898> (8738) against us, and [so] get them up <05927> (8804) out of the land <0776>_.
11Therefore they did set <07760> (8799) over them taskmasters <04522> <08269> to afflict <06031> (8763) them with their burdens <05450>_. And they built <01129> (8799) for Pharaoh <06547> treasure <04543> cities <05892>_, Pithom <06619> and Raamses <07486>_.
12But the more they afflicted <06031> (8762) them, the more <03651> they multiplied <07235> (8799) and grew <06555> (8799)_. And they were grieved <06973> (8799) because <06440> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>_. {But...: Heb. And as they afflicted them, so they multiplied, etc}
13And the Egyptians <04714> made <05647> (0) the children <01121> of Israel <03478> to serve <05647> (8686) with rigour <06531>_:
14And they made <04843> (0) their lives <02416> bitter <04843> (8762) with hard <07186> bondage <05656>_, in morter <02563>_, and in brick <03843>_, and in all manner of service <05656> in the field <07704>_: all their service <05656>_, wherein they made them serve <05647> (8804)_, [was] with rigour <06531>_.
15And the king <04428> of Egypt <04714> spake <0559> (8799) to the Hebrew <05680> midwives <03205> (8764)_, of which the name <08034> of the one <0259> [was] Shiphrah <08236>_, and the name <08034> of the other <08145> Puah <06326>_:
16And he said <0559> (8799)_, When ye do the office of a midwife <03205> (8763) to the Hebrew women <05680>_, and see <07200> (8804) [them] upon the stools <070>_; if it [be] a son <01121>_, then ye shall kill <04191> (8689) him: but if it [be] a daughter <01323>_, then she shall live <02425> (8804)_.
17But the midwives <03205> (8764) feared <03372> (8799) God <0430>_, and did <06213> (8804) not as the king <04428> of Egypt <04714> commanded <01696> (8765) them, but saved <02421> (0) the men children <03206> alive <02421> (8762)_.
18And the king <04428> of Egypt <04714> called <07121> (8799) for the midwives <03205> (8764)_, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Why <04069> have ye done <06213> (8804) this thing <01697>_, and have saved <02421> (0) the men children <03206> alive <02421> (8762)_?
19And the midwives <03205> (8764) said <0559> (8799) unto Pharaoh <06547>_, Because the Hebrew <05680> women <0802> [are] not as the Egyptian women <04713>_; for they [are] lively <02422>_, and are delivered <03205> (8804) ere <02962> the midwives <03205> (8764) come in <0935> (8799) unto them.
20Therefore God <0430> dealt well <03190> (8686) with the midwives <03205> (8764)_: and the people <05971> multiplied <07235> (8799)_, and waxed very <03966> mighty <06105> (8799)_.
21And it came to pass, because the midwives <03205> (8764) feared <03372> (8804) God <0430>_, that he made <06213> (8799) them houses <01004>_.
22And Pharaoh <06547> charged <06680> (8762) all his people <05971>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, Every son <01121> that is born <03209> ye shall cast <07993> (8686) into the river <02975>_, and every daughter <01323> ye shall save alive <02421> (8762)_.
