Exodus
{Exodus was most likely written by Moses.}
Chapter 1
1
Now these are the names of the children of Israel,
which
came into Egypt . . .
every
man and his household came with Jacob.
2
Reuben,
Simeon,
Levi,
and
Judah, 3
Issachar,
Zebulun,
and
Benjamin, 4
Dan,
and
Naphtali,
Gad,
and
Asher. 5
And
all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob
were
seventy souls . . .
for
Joseph was in Egypt already.
{Note: See link for a genealogy of the Tribes of Israel.}
6
And Joseph died,
and
all his brethren,
and
all that generation.
7
And the children of Israel were fruitful,
and
increased abundantly, and multiplied,
and
grew/waxed exceeding mighty . . .
and
the land was filled with them.
8
Now there arose up a new king/Pharaoh over Egypt . . .
who
did not know Joseph.
{Note: And therefore did not respect Joseph and his family.}
9
And he said unto his people,
"Behold,
the people of the children of Israel
are
'more in number'
and
mightier than we. 10
Come
on,
let
us deal prudently/wisely with them {chakam}. . .
lest
they multiply,
and
it come to pass, that,
when
there falls out any war,
they
join also unto our enemies,
and
fight against us . . .
and
so, get them up out of the land.
{Egyptians
Enslaves the Jews}
11
Therefore they did set over them taskmasters
to
afflict them with their burdens.
And
they built for Pharaoh treasure cities . . .
Pithom
{name means "the city of justice"}
and
Raamses/Rameses {name means "child of the sun"}.
12
But the more they afflicted them,
the
more they multiplied and grew.
And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
13
And the Egyptians made the children of Israel
to
serve with harshness/cruelty {perek}.
14
And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage,
in
mortar, and in brick,
and
in all manner of service in the field.
All
their service,
wherein
they made them serve,
was
with harshness/cruelty {perek}.
15
And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives,
of
which the name of the one was Shiphrah,
and
the name of the other Puah.
{Pharaoh
Orders Murder of Male Hebrew Newborns}
16
And he said,
"When
you do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women,
and
see them upon the stools . . .
if
it be a son, then you shall kill him . . .
but
if it be a daughter, then she shall live."
17
But the midwives feared 'Elohiym/Godhead,
and
did not as the king/Pharaoh of Egypt commanded them,
but
saved the men children alive.
18
And the king/Pharaoh of Egypt called for the midwives,
and
said unto them,
"Why
have you done this thing,
and
have saved the male-children alive?"
19
And the midwives said unto Pharaoh,
"Because
the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women . . .
for
they are vigorous/lively . . .
and
are delivered before the midwives come in unto them."
20
Therefore 'Elohiym/Godhead dealt well with the midwives
and
the people multiplied, and grew/waxed very mighty.
21
And it came to pass,
because
the midwives respected/feared 'Elohiym/Godhead,
that
He made them houses.
22
And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying,
"Every
son that is born
you
shall cast into the river,
and
every daughter you shall save alive."
