Exodus 2 AKJV — Exodus 2

1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. AKJV — Exodus 2:1

2 And the woman conceived, and bore a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. AKJV — Exodus 2:2

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’ brink. AKJV — Exodus 2:3

4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him. AKJV — Exodus 2:4

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

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. AKJV — Exodus 2:6

7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh’ daughter, Shall I go and call to you a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you? AKJV — Exodus 2:7

8 And Pharaoh’ daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’ mother. AKJV — Exodus 2:8

9 And Pharaoh’ daughter said to her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give you your wages. And the women took the child, and nursed it. AKJV — Exodus 2:9

10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’ daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water. AKJV — Exodus 2:10

11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brothers, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brothers. AKJV — Exodus 2:11

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. AKJV — Exodus 2:12

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, Why smite you your fellow? AKJV — Exodus 2:13

14 And he said, Who made you a prince and a judge over us? intend you to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known. AKJV — Exodus 2:14

15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelled in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well. AKJV — Exodus 2:15

16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’ flock. AKJV — Exodus 2:16

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

18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you are come so soon to day? AKJV — Exodus 2:18

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. AKJV — Exodus 2:19

20 And he said to his daughters, And where is he? why is it that you have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread. AKJV — Exodus 2:20

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

22 And she bore him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land. AKJV — Exodus 2:22

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 to God by reason of the bondage. AKJV — Exodus 2:23

24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. AKJV — Exodus 2:24

25 And God looked on the children of Israel, and God had respect to them. AKJV — Exodus 2:25
