Text

1	These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob, each with his household:
2	Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3	Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
4	Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
5	All the descendants of Jacob were seventy persons; Joseph was already in Egypt.
6	Then Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation.
7	But the people of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly; they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong, so that the land was filled with them.
8	Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
9	And he said to his people, “Behold, the people of Israel are too many and too mighty for us.
10	Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and, if war breaks out, they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land.“
11	Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with heavy burdens. They built for Pharaoh store cities, Pithom and Raamses.
12	But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel.
13	So they ruthlessly made the people of Israel work as slaves
14	and made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and brick, and in all kinds of work in the field. In all their work they ruthlessly made them work as slaves.
15	Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah,
16	“When you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill him, but if it is a daughter, she shall live.”
17	But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live.
18	So the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this, and let the male children live?”
19	The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to them.”
20	So God dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied and grew very strong.
21	And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families.
22	Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, “Every son that is born to the Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile, but you shall let every daughter live.”

1	These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family:
2	Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah;
3	Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin;
4	Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.
5	The descendants of Jacob numbered seventy in all; Joseph was already in Egypt.
6	Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,
7	but the Israelites were fruitful and multiplied greatly and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them.
8	Then a new king, who did not know about Joseph, came to power in Egypt.
9	“Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become much too numerous for us.
10	Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country.“
11	So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh.
12	But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites
13	and worked them ruthlessly.
14	They made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their hard labor the Egyptians used them ruthlessly.
15	The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah,
16	“When you help the Hebrew women in childbirth and observe them on the delivery stool, if it is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.”
17	The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live.
18	Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?”
19	The midwives answered Pharaoh, “Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive.”
20	So God was kind to the midwives and the people increased and became even more numerous.
21	And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.
22	Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: “Every boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live.”

NLT

1	These are the names of the sons of Israel (that is, Jacob) who moved to Egypt with their father, each with his family:
2	Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,
3	Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin,
4	Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5	In all, Jacob had seventy descendants in Egypt, including Joseph, who was already there.
6	In time, Joseph and all of his brothers died, ending that entire generation.
7	But their descendants, the Israelites, had many children and grandchildren. In fact, they multiplied so greatly that they became extremely powerful and filled the land.
8	Eventually, a new king came to power in Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph or what he had done.
9	He said to his people, “Look, the people of Israel now outnumber us and are stronger than we are.
10	We must make a plan to keep them from growing even more. If we don't, and if war breaks out, they will join our enemies and fight against us. Then they will escape from the country. “
11	So the Egyptians made the Israelites their slaves. They appointed brutal slave drivers over them, hoping to wear them down with crushing labor. They forced them to build the cities of Pithom and Rameses as supply centers for the king.
12	But the more the Egyptians oppressed them, the more the Israelites multiplied and spread, and the more alarmed the Egyptians became.
13	So the Egyptians worked the people of Israel without mercy.
14	They made their lives bitter, forcing them to mix mortar and make bricks and do all the work in the fields. They were ruthless in all their demands.
15	Then Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, gave this order to the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah:
16	“When you help the Hebrew women as they give birth, watch as they deliver. If the baby is a boy, kill him; if it is a girl, let her live.”
17	But because the midwives feared God, they refused to obey the king's orders. They allowed the boys to live, too.
18	So the king of Egypt called for the midwives. “Why have you done this?” he demanded. “Why have you allowed the boys to live?”
19	“The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women,” the midwives replied. “They are more vigorous and have their babies so quickly that we cannot get there in time.”
20	So God was good to the midwives, and the Israelites continued to multiply, growing more and more powerful.
21	And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.
22	Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: “Throw every newborn Hebrew boy into the Nile River. But you may let the girls live.”

KJV

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.
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.
22	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.
