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.
(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 waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
(8) Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
(9) And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
(10) Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
(11) Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses. / Chapter 1

(2) Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,

(5) And all the souls that came out of the body of Jacob were seventy soulsa: because Joseph was in Egypt already.
(6) And Joseph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation.
(7) And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.
(8) Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
(9) And he said to his people, Look, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
(10) Come, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it comes to pass, that, when war comes, they join also with our enemies, and fight against us, and so escape out of the land.
(11) Therefore they set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
1:5a - seventy souls - see notes on Genesis 46:26-27
Gen. 46:26-27 says 66 descendants of Jacob - see Acts 7:14 - Stephen tells us that
There were 75 in all who came to Egypt. The 66 does not include 9 non-descendants
of Jacob - seventy souls - The 66 did not include Jacob himself or Joseph and his two
sons. [Note that in this count the wives are not counted which was a Jewish custom.]
The numbers 66, 70, and 75 authenticate and confirm each other:
66 -number of descendants of Jacob who came with him
70 - number of the household of Jacob in Egypt (66+Jacob+Joseph+Joseph's two sons)
75 - number of Jacob's kinsmen who traveled to Egypt (66+9 of Jacob's sons' wives)
[Judah {Gen. 38:12} and Simeon's {Gen. 42:24} wives had already died; as well as
Jacob's wives {Gen. 49:31} – see note on Gen. 42:24 - Joseph's wife was already in
Egypt]

King James Version / King James Paraphrase
(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 rigour:
(14) And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
(15) And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
(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.
(17) But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
(18) And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
(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.
(20) Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
(21) And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. / (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 serve with rigor {hard work}:
(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, in which they made them serve, was with rigor {hard work}.
(15) And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah {brightness}b, and the name of the other Puah {glitter}c:
(16) And he said, When you do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it is a son, then you shall kill himd: but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.
(17) But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive.
(18) And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, Why have you done this thing, and have saved the male children alive?
(19) And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; because they are lively, and are delivered before the midwives come in to them.
(20) Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.
(21) And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that He made them houses.
1:15b - Shiphrah {שׁפרה} - brightness
1:15c - Puah {פּוּעה} - glitter - brillancy
1:16d - kill children - Rev. 12:3-4; Mat. 2:16 - enemies of Israel seek to kill Israel's children most
notably the male children since the messiah would come from Israel. The dragon of the
Revelation [also called the Devil and Satan Rev. 12:9] puts such evil into the hearts of
those who reject the Lord. The females could be used by the Egyptians as household
servants or concubines.

(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.
(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.
(4) And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
(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.
(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. / (22) And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born {to the Jews} you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alivee.

(4) And his sisterd stood at a distance, to see what would be done to him.

(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?
(8) And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
(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.
(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.
(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.
(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.
(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?
(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.
(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. / (7) Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to you a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?
(8) And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
(9) And Pharaoh's daughter said to 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.
(10) And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses {drawn out of water}e: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.

(13) And when he went out the second day, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to the one that did the wrong, Why do you beat your fellow?
