Exodus
1: 6-22 (KJV)
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.
