And Joseph wept when they spake unto him. 18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face: and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. 19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place i of God? 20 But as for you, ye thought m evil against me; but God meant n it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. 21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, o and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake 4 kindly unto them. 22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years. 23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's p Job 34.29. children, of the third generation: the children also of Machir q the son of Manasseh were 5 brought up upon Joseph's knees.

CHAPTER II. 2 Moses is born, and put into the flags: 5 he is found, and brought up by Pharaoh's daughter; 21 his marriage. ND there went a man a of the A house of Levi, and took to wije a daughter of Leví. 2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son; and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid b 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 whe she saw the ark among the flaş she sent her maid to fetch it. Moses found. 6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion c on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children. 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, d 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 1 Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water. EXODUS, III. B. C. 1533. Ps. 106.46. e ch.1.11.

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. 16 Now the 3 priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and f drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. 17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. 18 And when they came to 4 Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day? 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. 20 And he said unto his daughters, God appears to Moses. And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may g eat bread. 21 And Moses was content h to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses i Zipporah his daughter. 22 And she bare him a son, and he called his name 5 Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land. 23 And it came to pass, in process of time, that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel k sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God, 7 by reason of the bondage. 24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant m with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had 6 respect unto them. CHAPTER III. 1 Moses keepeth Jethro's flock: 2 God appeareth unto him in a burning bush: 9 he sendeth him to deliver Israel. Nete his father-in-law, the [OW Moses kept the flock of priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the back side of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, a even to Horeb. 2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire, Luke 1.72-out of the midst of a bush: b and 74. he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

And he said, Here am I. 5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes d from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 6 Moreover he said, e I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
