And the king of Egypt said unto the midwives of the Hebrews' women, of which the one's name was Shiphrah and the other Puah,

"When ye midwife the women of the Hebrews and see in the birth time that it is a boy, kill it. But if it be a maid, let it live."

And the midwives answered Pharaoh, that the Hebrews' women were not as the women of Egypt: but were sturdy women, and were delivered yer the midwives came at them.

And when she had opened it she saw the child, and behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on it and said, "It is one of the Hebrew's children."

Then said his sister unto Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and call unto thee a nurse of the Hebrew's women, to nurse the child?"

And it happened in these days when Moses was waxed great, that he went out unto his brethren and looked on their burdens, and spied an Egyptian smiting one of his brethren, an Hebrew.

And he went out another day: and behold, two Hebrews strove together. And he said unto him that did the wrong, "Wherefore smitest thou thine neighbor?"

If it come to pass that they hear thy voice, then go, both thou and the elders of Israel unto the king of Egypt, and say unto him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: Let us go therefore three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.'

I know not the LORD, neither will let Israel go." And they said, "The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he smite us either with pestilence or with sword."

And say unto him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee saying: let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: but hitherto thou wouldest not hear.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Go unto Pharaoh and tell him, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God of the Hebrews: send out my people that they may serve me.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh and tell him, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me,

Then Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, "Thus sayeth the LORD God of the Hebrews, 'How long shall it be, or thou wilt submit thyself unto me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.

If thou buy a servant that is an Hebrew, sixth years he shall serve, and the seventh he shall go out free paying nothing.
