{Exodus 2:1} And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took [to wife] a daughter of Levi. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:2} And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he [was a] goodly [child,] she hid him three months. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:3} And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid [it] in the flags by the river’s brink. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:4} And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:5} And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash [herself] at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:6} And when she had opened [it,] she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This [is one] of the Hebrews’ children. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:7} Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:8} And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:9} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:10} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:11} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:12} 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.

{Exodus 2:13} 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? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:14} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:15} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:16} Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew [water,] and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:17} And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:18} And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How [is it that] ye are come so soon to day? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:19} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:20} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:21} And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:22} And she bare [him] a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:23} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:24} And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Exodus 2:25} And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto [them.]
