Part 2

02:002:005 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.

02:002:006 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.

02:002:007 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?

02:002:008 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.

02:002:009 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the women took the child, and nursed it.

02:002:010 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.

02:002:011 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.

02:002:012 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

02:002:013 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?

02:002:014 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.

02:002:015 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.

02:002:016 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

02:002:017 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

02:002:018 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?

02:002:019 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.

02:002:020 And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.

02:002:021 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.

02:002:022 And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.

02:002:023 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.

02:002:024 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

02:002:025 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.

02:003:001 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

02:003:002 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

02:003:003 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

02:003:004 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

02:003:005 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

02:003:006 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy 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 upon God.

02:003:007 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
