CHAP. II.

2 Moses is borne and cast into the flagges. 5 He is taken vp of Pharaohs daughter and kept. 12 He killeth the Egyptian. 15 〈◊〉〈◊〉 fleeth and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 a wife 23 The Israe∣lites crye vnto the Lord.

1 THen there went aa 1.1 man of the house of Leui, & toke (to wife) a daughter of Leui.

2 And the woman conceiued and bare a sonne* 1.2 and when she sawe that he was faire, * 〈◊〉〈◊〉* 1.3 hid him thre moneths.* 1.4

3 But when she colde no longer hide him, she toke for him an arke (made) of rede, & dau∣bed it with slime and with pitch, andb 1.5 laid the childe therein, and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 (〈◊〉〈◊〉) among the bulrushes by the riuer brinke.

4 Now his sister stode a far of, to wit what wolde come of him.

5 ¶ Then the daughter of Pharaóh came downe to wash her in the riuer, and her mai∣dens walked by the riuers side: and when she sawe the arke among the bulrushes, she sent 〈◊〉〈◊〉 maid to fet it.

6 Then she opened it, and sawe it was a childe and beholde, the babe wept: so she had com∣passion on it, and said, This is one of the E∣brewes children.

7 Then said his sister vnto Pharaohs daughter Shal I go and call vnto thee a nurce of the E∣brewe women to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 thee the childe?

8 And Pharaohs daughter said to her, Go. So the maid went & called thec 1.6 childesmother.

9 To whome Pharaohs daughter said, Take this childe away, and nurce it for me, and I wil rewarde thee. Then the woman toke the childe and nurced him.

10 Now the childe grewe, and she broght him vnto Pharaohs daughter, and he was as her sonne, and she called his name Mosés, becau se, said she, I drewe him out of the water.

11 ¶ And in those dayes, when Mosés wasd 1.7 growen, he went forthe vnto his brethrē, &* 1.8 loked on their burdēs: also he sawe an Egy∣ptiā smiting an Ebrewe one of his brethren.

12 And he loked” 1.9 rounde about, and when he sawe no man, hee 1.10 slew the Egyptiā, and hid him in the sand.

13 Againe he came forthe the seconde day and* 1.11

beholde, two Ebrewes stroue: and he sayd vnto him that dyd the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy felowe?

14 And he answered, Who made thee a man of autoritie and a iudge ouer vs? Think est thou to kyll me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? Then Mosesf 1.12 feared and said, Certeinly this thing is knowen.

15 Now Pharaoh heard this matter, and soght to slay Mosés: therefore Moses fled frome Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midián, and he sate downe by a well.

16 And the“ 1.13 Priest of Midian had seuen daugh∣ters, whiche came and drewe (water,) and filled the troghes, for to water their fathers shepe.

17 Then the shepherdes came and droue them away: but Mosés rose vp and” 1.14 defended thē, and wattered their shepe.

18 And when they came to Reuél their“ 1.15 father, he said, How are ye come so sone to day?

19 And they sayd, A man of Egypt deliuered vs frome the hande of the shepherdes, and also drewe vs water ynough, and wattered the shepe.

20 Thē he said vnto hys daughters, And where is he? why haue ye so left the man?g 1.16 call hym that he may eat bread.

21 And Mosés agreed to dwell with the man: who gaue vnto Mosés Zipporáh his daugh∣ter:* 1.17

22 And she bare a sonne,* whose name he cal∣led 〈◊〉〈◊〉: for he said, I haue bene a stran∣ger in a strange land.

23 ¶ Then in processe of time, the Kyng of E∣gypt dyed, and the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of Israél sighed for the bondage andh 1.18 cryed: and their crye for the bondage came vp vnto God.

24 Then God heard their mone, and God re∣membred his couenant with Abrahám, Iz∣hák, and Iaak ob.

25 So God loked vpon the children to Israél, and Godi 1.19 had respect vnto them.
