ULT EXO Chapter 2

◄ EXO 2 ► ║ ═ ©

2 And a man from the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi. 2 And the woman conceived, and she birthed a son. And she saw him, that he was good, and she hid him three months. 3 And she was not able to hide him still, and she took for him an ark of papyrus reeds and she daubed it with bitumen and with pitch. And she placed the child in it, and she placed it in the reeds along the shore of the river. 4 And his sister stationed herself at a distance to know what would be done to him.

5 And a daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash at the river, and her young women were walking along the hand of the river. And she saw the ark in the middle of the reeds, and she sent her slave woman, and she took it 6 and opened, and she saw him, the child—and behold, a crying boy. And she had compassion on him, and she said, “This one is from the children of the Hebrews.”

7 And his sister said to the daughter of Pharaoh, “Should I go and call for you a nursing woman from the Hebrews? And she could cause the child to nurse for you.”

8 And the daughter of Pharaoh said to her, “Go.” And the girl went and called the mother of the child. 9 And the daughter of Pharaoh said to her, “Take this child and cause him to nurse for me, and I shall give your wages.” And the woman took the child and caused him to nurse. 10 And the child grew older, and she brought him to the daughter of Pharaoh, and he became as a son to her. And she called his name Moses, and she said, “For out of the water I drew him.”

11 And it happened in those days that Moses had grown up. And he went out to his brothers and saw their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian man striking a Hebrew man from his brothers. 12 And he turned this way and that way, and he saw that there was no man, and he struck the Egyptian, and he hid him in the sand. 13 And he went out the second day, and behold, two Hebrew men were fighting. And he said to the guilty one, “Why are you striking your companion?”

14 And he said, “Who set you as the ruler man and judge over us? Are you saying to kill me like you killed the Egyptian?”

And Moses feared and said, “Certainly the thing is known.” 15 And Pharaoh heard this thing, and he sought to kill Moses. And Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh.

And he dwelt in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well. 16 And the priest of Midian had seven daughters. And they came and drew and filled up the troughs to cause the flock of their father to drink water. 17 And the men who were shepherding came and drove them away, but Moses arose and saved them and caused their flock to drink water.

18 And they came to Reuel their father, and he said, “Why have you hurried coming today?”

19 And they said, “An Egyptian man rescued us from the hand of the men who were shepherding. And he even drew especially for us and caused the flock to drink water.”

20 And he said to his daughters, “And where is he? What is this? You left the man? Call him and he shall eat bread!”

21 And Moses was willing to dwell with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses. 22 And she birthed a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land.”

23 And it happened in these many days that the king of Egypt died. And the sons of Israel groaned from the slavery. And they cried out, and their plea ascended to God from their slavery. 24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 25 And God saw the sons of Israel, and God knew.
