Exo. 4:28 - Exo. 5:13

February 16, 2021

Exodus
4:28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of Jehovah with which He had sent him and all the signs with which He had charged him.
4:29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel.
4:30 And Aaron spoke all the words which Jehovah had spoken to Moses, and he performed the signs in the sight of the people.
4:31 And the people believed; and when they heard that Jehovah had visited the children of Israel and that He had seen their affliction, they bowed and worshipped.
Exodus
5:1 And afterward Moses and Aaron came and said to Pharaoh, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, Let My people go that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.
5:2 But Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah that I should listen to His voice to let Israel go? I do not know Jehovah, and I also will not let Israel go.
5:3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Let us go a three days’ journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God; otherwise He will fall upon us with pestilence or sword.
5:4 Then the king of Egypt said to them, Moses and Aaron, why are you trying to release the people from their work? Get back to your burdens.
5:5 And Pharaoh said, Look, the people of the land are now many, yet you want them to cease from their burdens.
5:6 And the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying,
5:7 You shall no longer give the people straw to make bricks as previously; let them go and gather straw for themselves.
5:8 And the quota of the bricks which they made previously, you shall still place upon them; you shall not diminish any of it, for they are idle; therefore they cry out, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
5:9 Let the work be laid more heavily upon such men, so that they do it and not pay attention to false words.
5:10 And the taskmasters of the people and their officers went out and spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
5:11 You go and get your own straw wherever you can find it, for none of your work will be reduced.
5:12 So the people scattered throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
5:13 And the taskmasters pressed them saying, Finish your work, the same daily assignment as when there was straw.

Exodus 1:1 Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob; each man came with his household: 1:2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 1:3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 1:4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher. 1:5 And all the persons who came forth from the loins of Jacob were seventy persons, but Joseph was already in Egypt. 1:6 And Joseph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation. 1:7 But the children of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly and multiplied and grew exceedingly strong, and the land was filled with them. 1:8 And a new king rose up over Egypt, who did not know of Joseph. 1:9 And he said to his people, The people of the children of Israel are now more numerous and stronger than we. 1:10 Come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply and, when some war occurs, they also join themselves to those who hate us and fight against us and go up from the land. 1:11 So they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built storage cities for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses. 1:12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread out so that they came to dread the children of Israel. 1:13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with harshness, 1:14 And they made their lives bitter with hard labor in mortar and in brick and in all kinds of labor in the field; all their labor with which they made them serve was with harshness. 1:15 And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one whose name was Shiphrah and the other whose name was Puah; 1:16 And he said, aWhen you act as midwives for the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, then you shall put him to death; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live. 1:17 But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded them but let the male children live. 1:18 So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, Why have you done this thing and let the male children live? 1:19 And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous: before the midwife comes to them, they give birth. 1:20 And God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and grew very strong. 1:21 And because the midwives feared God, He established households for them. 1:22 And Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, Every son who is born you shall cast into the River, but every daughter you shall let live.

Exodus 2:1 And a man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as wife. 2:2 And the woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months. 2:3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him a papyrus basket and plastered it with tar and pitch; and she put the child in it and placed it among the reeds on the bank of the River. 2:4 And his sister stood at a distance to find out what would happen to him. 2:5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the River while her maidens walked alongside the River. And she saw the basket in the midst of the reeds and sent her female servant, and she brought it to her. 2:6 And she opened it and saw the child, and there was the boy, crying. And she had compassion on him and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children. 2:7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call a nurse from the Hebrew women for you that she may nurse the child for you? 2:8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the girl went and called the child’s mother. 2:9 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages. So the woman took the child and nursed him. 2:10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses and said, Because I drew him out of the water. 2:11 And in those days, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brothers. 2:12 And he looked this way and that, and when he saw that there was no one there, he struck the Egyptian down and hid him in the sand. 2:13 And he went out the next day, and there were two Hebrew men struggling together; and he said to the one who was in the wrong, Why are you beating your companion? 2:14 And he said, Who appointed you a ruler and a judge over us? Are you thinking to kill me as you killed the Egyptian? And Moses became 1frightened and said, Surely the matter is known. 2:15 Now when Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh to dwell in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well. 2:16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and drew water and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.

Exodus 2:17 And the shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses rose up and helped them and watered their flock. 2:18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, Why have you come back so quickly today? 2:19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and he even drew water for us as well and watered the flock. 2:20 And he said to his daughters, And where is he? Why did you leave the man? Invite him to eat a meal. 2:21 And Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. 2:22 And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom, for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land. 2:23 And in the course of those many days the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage. And they cried out, and their cry went up to God because of their bondage. 2:24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 2:25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God took notice of them. Exodus 3:1 Now Moses was shepherding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness and came to the mountain of God, to Horeb. 3:2 And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a thornbush. And when he looked, there was the thornbush, burning with fire; but the thornbush was not consumed. 3:3 And Moses said, I must turn aside now and see this great sight, why the thornbush does not burn up. 3:4 And when Jehovah saw that he had turned aside to look, God called to him out of the midst of the thornbush and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here I am. 3:5 And He said, Do not come near here. Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground. 3:6 And He said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. 3:7 And Jehovah said, I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.
