AND there went a man of the house of Leviy, and took to be his woman a daughter of Leviy.
And the woman conceived, and bore a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
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 reeds by the river's brink.
And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
And the daughter of Phar'oh 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 reeds, she sent her maid to fetch it.
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 Ivriym children.
Then said his sister to Phar'oh's daughter, Shall I go and call to you a nurse of the Ivriyth women, that she may nurse the child for you?
And Phar'oh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
And Phar'oh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give you your wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
And the child grew, and she brought him unto Phar'oh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Mosheh: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
And it came to pass in those days, when Mosheh was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied a Mitsriy smiting an Ivriy, one of his brethren.
And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Mitsriy, and hid him in the sand.
And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Ivriym strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smite you your fellow?
And he said, Who made you a prince and a judge over us? intend you to kill me, as you killed the Mitsriy? And Mosheh feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
Now when Phar'oh heard this thing, he sought to slay Mosheh. But Mosheh fled from the face of Phar'oh, and dwelt in the land of Midyan: and he sat down by a well.
Now the priest of Midyan had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Mosheh stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
And when they came to Re'u'el their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon today?
And they said, A Mitsriy delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
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.
And Mosheh was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Mosheh Tsipporah his daughter.
And she bore him a son, and he called his name Gershem: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Mitsrayim died: and the children of Yashar'el sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto Elohiym by reason of the bondage.
And Elohiym heard their groaning, and Elohiym remembered his covenant with Avraham, with Yitschaq, and with Ya`aqov.
And Elohiym looked upon the children of Yashar'el, and Elohiym had respect unto them.
