          DASV: Exodus 1    

1 These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt,
each man and his household came with Jacob.
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
4 Dan, Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
5 The total number of the descendants of Jacob was seventy,
but Joseph was in Egypt already.
6 Now Joseph, all his brothers and all that generation, died.
7 But the children of Israel were fruitful, increased abundantly
and multiplied and became exceedingly strong; so the land was filled
with them.
8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
9 He said to his people, "Look, the Israelites are more numerous
and stronger than we are.
10 Come, let us deal shrewdly with them or they will multiply,
and if a war breaks out they may join our enemies, fight against us
and escape from our land."
11 So they put over them taskmasters to oppress them with hard labor.
They built store cities for Pharaoh, Pithom and Rameses.
12 But the more they oppressed them, the more they multiplied
and spread out, so they dreaded the children of Israel.

13 The Egyptians made the Israelites to serve with rigor.
14 They made their lives bitter by hard labor with mortar and brick,
and with all kinds of field work. In all their work they ruthlessly
made them labor.

15 Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom
was named Shiphrah, and the other Puah.
16 "When you help the Hebrew women in childbirth and see them on the
birthstool, if it is a son, kill him; but if it is a daughter,
let her live."
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not do what the king of Egypt
had commanded them, they let the boys live.
18 Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives, and asked them,
"Why have you done this, letting the boys live?"
19 The midwives replied to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women
are not like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give
birth before the midwife can get to them."
20 So God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied
and grew very strong.
21 It came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made
households for them.
22 Then Pharaoh ordered all his people, saying, "Every son that is born,
you must throw into the river, but every daughter you may let live."
