And he said°°
unto°
his people,°

the people°
of the children°
of Israel°

and fight°°
against us, and [so] get them up°°
out of°
the land.° |

them, the more°
they multiplied°°
and grew.°°°
And they were grieved°°
because°°
of the children°
of Israel.° |
|
1:13
And the Mizraimites{gr.Egyptians} tyrannised over the children of Israel by force. |
|
1:13
And the Egyptians°
made°°°
the children°
of Israel°
to serve°°
with rigour:° |
|
1:14
And they embittered their life by hard labours, in the clay and in brick-making, and all the works in the plains, according to all the works, wherein they caused them to serve with violence. |
|

And they made°°°
their lives°

And he said, When ye do the office of midwives to the Hebrew women, and they are about to be delivered, if it be a male, kill it; but if a female, save it. |
|
1:16
And he said,°°
When ye do the office of a midwife°°
to°
the Hebrew women,°
and see°°
[them] upon°
the stools;°
if°
it°
[be] a son,°
then ye shall kill°°
him: but if°
it°
[be] a daughter,°
then she shall live.°° |
|
1:17
But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Mizraim{gr.Egypt} appointed them; and they saved the male children alive. |
|
1:17
But the midwives°°
feared°°°
Elohim,°
and did°°
not°
as°
the king°
of Egypt°
commanded°°°
them, but saved°°°
the men children°
alive.°° |

called°°
for°
the midwives,°°

unto them, Why°
have ye done°°
this°
thing,°
and have saved°°°
the men children°
alive?°° |
|
1:19
And the midwives said to Pharaoh{gr.Pharao}, The Hebrew women are not as the women of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, for they are delivered before the midwives go in to them. So they bore children. |
|
1:19
And the midwives°°
said°°
unto°
Pharaoh,°
Because°
the Hebrew°
women°°
[are] not°
as the Egyptian°
women;°°
for°
they°
[are] lively,°
and are delivered°°
ere°
the midwives°°
come in°°
unto°
them. |
|
1:20
And God did well to the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very strong. |
|
1:20
Therefore Elohim°
dealt well°°
with the midwives:°°
and the people°
multiplied,°°
and waxed very°
mighty.°°° |
|
1:21
And as the midwives feared God, they established for themselves families. |
|
1:21
And it came to pass,°
because°
the midwives°°
feared°°°
Elohim,°
that he made°°
them houses.° |
|
1:22
And Pharaoh{gr.Pharao} charged all his people, saying, Whatever male [child] shall be born to the Hebrews, cast into the river; and every female, save it alive. |

And Pharaoh°
charged°°
all°
his people,°
saying,°°
Every°
son°
that is born°
ye shall cast°°
into the river,°
and every°
daughter°
ye shall save alive.°° |
