Young's Literal Translation
These are the names of the sons of Israel who went
to
Egypt with Jacob ,
each
with
his family:
And
these `
are '
the names of the sons of Israel who are
coming
into
Egypt with Jacob ;
a
man
and
his household
have
they
come;
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah ;
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah ,
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin ;
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin ,
Dan and Naphtali ;
Gad and Asher.
Dan ,
and Naphtali ,
Gad ,
and Asher.
The descendants
of Jacob numbered
seventy in
all,
including
Joseph, who
was already
in Egypt.
And
all
the persons
coming
out
of the
thigh
of
Jacob are
seventy persons;
as
to
Joseph, he
was in Egypt.
Now
Joseph and all his brothers
and all that generation died,
And
Joseph dieth,
and all his brethren,
and all that generation ;
but
the Israelites
were
fruitful and increased
rapidly;
they multiplied
and became
exceedingly
numerous
, so
that
the land was
filled with them.
and
the sons
of
Israel
have
been
fruitful ,
and they teem,
and multiply
, and
are
very
very
mighty,
and
the land is
filled with them.
Then
a new king, who did
not know
Joseph, came
to
power
in
Egypt.
And
there
riseth
a new king over
Egypt
, who hath
not known
Joseph,
“Look,”
he said
to
his people, “
the Israelites
have
become
too
numerous and too
powerful
for
us.
and
he saith
unto
his people, `Lo,
the people
of
the
sons
of
Israel
`is'
more
numerous and mighty
than
we;
Come,
let us deal
shrewdly
with
them
, or
they
will
increase
even
more;
and if
a
war breaks
out
, they
may
join
our
enemies
, fight
against us, and leave
the country
. ”
give
help!
let us act
wisely
concerning
it
, lest
it
multiply,
and it
hath
come
to
pass,
when
war happeneth
, that
it
hath
been
joined
, even
it,
unto
those
hating
us,
and
hath
fought
against us, and hath
gone
out
up
of
the land
. '
So
the
Egyptians
appointed
taskmasters
over the
Israelites
to oppress
them
with forced
labor.
As
a
result
, they
built
Pithom
and Rameses
as
store cities for Pharaoh .
And
they
set
over it
princes
of
tribute,
so
as
to afflict
it
with their
burdens
, and it
buildeth
store -
cities for Pharaoh ,
Pithom
and
Raamses;
But
the
more
they were
oppressed
, the
more
they
multiplied
and flourished;
so the
Egyptians
came
to
dread
the Israelites.
and
as
they afflict
it
, so
it
multiplieth,
and so it
breaketh
forth,
and
they
are
vexed
because
of
the sons
of
Israel;
They
worked
the Israelites
ruthlessly
and
the Egyptians
cause
the
sons
of
Israel
to
serve
with
rigour,
and made
their lives bitter with
hard labor
in brick
and mortar
, and with
all
kinds
of work
in the fields.
Every
service they imposed
was
harsh
.
and make
their lives bitter in
hard service,
in clay,
and in
brick
, and in
every
`kind'
of service
in the field;
all
their
service in
which
they have
served
`is'
with
rigour
.
Then
the king of Egypt said
to the Hebrew
midwives, whose
names
were
Shiphrah and Puah,
And
the king of Egypt speaketh
to the midwives, the
Hebrewesses,
(of
whom
the
name
of
the
one
`is'
Shiphrah ,
and the
name
of
the
second
Puah )
,
“
When you
help
the Hebrew women give
birth
, observe
them
on the birthstools.
If the
child
is a son ,
kill
him; but
if it is a daughter ,
let
her
live
. ”
and
saith,
`
When ye
cause
the Hebrew women to
bear
, and
have
looked
on the children;
if it
`
is '
a son --
then
ye
have
put
him to
death
; and
if it `
is '
a daughter --
then
she
hath
lived
. '
The midwives ,
however,
feared
God and did
not do
as the king of Egypt had
instructed;
they
let
the boys
live.
And
the midwives fear
God ,
and have
not done
as the king of Egypt hath
spoken
unto
them,
and
keep
the lads
alive;
So
the king of Egypt summoned
the midwives and asked
them, “Why
have you
done this ?
Why
have
you
let
the boys
live
? ”
and
the king of Egypt calleth
for
the midwives ,
and saith
to
them, `Wherefore
have ye
done this thing,
and
keep
the lads
alive
? '
The midwives answered
Pharaoh, “
The Hebrew women are not like
the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous
and
give
birth
before a
midwife arrives.”
And
the midwives say
unto
Pharaoh, `Because
the Hebrew women `
are '
not as
the Egyptian women, for they `
are '
lively;
before the
midwife cometh
in
unto
them
--
they
have
borne!'
So
God was
good to the midwives, and the people multiplied
and became
even
more
numerous.
And
God doth
good to the midwives, and the people multiply,
and are
very
mighty;
And because the midwives feared God, He gave
them families
of
their
own.
and it
cometh
to
pass,
because the midwives have
feared God, that
He maketh
for
them households;
Then
Pharaoh commanded
all his people :
“
Every son born to
the
Hebrews
you
must
throw
into the Nile
, but
every daughter you
may
allow
to
live
. ”
and
Pharaoh layeth
a
charge
on
all his people ,
saying,
`
Every son who
is
born --
into the River
ye
do
cast
him
, and
every daughter ye
do
keep
alive
. '
