1  And there went¹⁹⁸⁰ a man³⁷⁶ of the house^{4480 1004} of Levi,³⁸⁷⁸ and took³⁹⁴⁷ to wife a ⁸⁵³ daughter¹³²³ of Levi.³⁸⁷⁸

2  And the woman⁸⁰² conceived,²⁰²⁹ and bore³²⁰⁵ a son:¹¹²¹ and when she saw⁷²⁰⁰ him that³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ was a goodly²⁸⁹⁶ child, she hid⁶⁸⁴⁵ him three⁷⁹⁶⁹ months.³³⁹¹

3  And when she could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ longer⁵⁷⁵⁰ hide⁶⁸⁴⁵ him, she took³⁹⁴⁷ for him an ark⁸³⁹² of bulrushes,¹⁵⁷³ and daubed²⁵⁶⁰ it with slime²⁵⁶⁴ and with pitch,²²⁰³ and put^{7760 853} the child³²⁰⁶ therein; and she laid⁷⁷⁶⁰ it in the flags⁵⁴⁸⁸ by⁵⁹²¹ the river's²⁹⁷⁵ brink.⁸¹⁹³

4  And his sister²⁶⁹ stood³³²⁰ afar off,^{4480 7350} to know³⁰⁴⁵ what⁴¹⁰⁰ would be done⁶²¹³ to him.

5  And the daughter¹³²³ of Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ came down³³⁸¹ to wash⁷³⁶⁴ herself at⁵⁹²¹ the river;²⁹⁷⁵ and her maidens⁵²⁹¹ walked along¹⁹⁸⁰ by⁵⁹²¹ the river's²⁹⁷⁵ side;³⁰²⁷ and when she saw^{7200 853} the ark⁸³⁹² among⁸⁴³² the flags,⁵⁴⁸⁸ she sent^{7971 853} her maid⁵¹⁹ to fetch³⁹⁴⁷ it.

6  And when she had opened⁶⁶⁰⁵ it, she saw^{7200 853} the child:³²⁰⁶ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the babe⁵²⁸⁸ wept.¹⁰⁵⁸ And she had compassion²⁵⁵⁰ on⁵⁹²¹ him, and said,⁵⁵⁹ This²⁰⁸⁸ is one of the Hebrews' children.^{4480 3206 5680}

7  Then said⁵⁵⁹ his sister²⁶⁹ to⁴¹³ Pharaoh's⁶⁵⁴⁷ daughter,¹³²³ Shall I go¹⁹⁸⁰ and call⁷¹²¹ to thee a nurse^{802 3243} of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the Hebrew women,⁵⁶⁸⁰ that she may nurse^{3243 853} the child³²⁰⁶ for thee?

8  And Pharaoh's⁶⁵⁴⁷ daughter¹³²³ said⁵⁵⁹ to her, Go.¹⁹⁸⁰ And the maid⁵⁹⁵⁹ went¹⁹⁸⁰ and called⁷¹²¹ the child's^{3206 853} mother.⁵¹⁷

9  And Pharaoh's⁶⁵⁴⁷ daughter¹³²³ said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, Take this child away,^{1980 853 2088 3206} and nurse³²⁴³ it for me, and I⁵⁸⁹ will give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee ⁸⁵³ thy wages.⁷⁹³⁹ And the woman⁸⁰² took³⁹⁴⁷ the child,³²⁰⁶ and nursed⁵¹³⁴ it.

10  And the child³²⁰⁶ grew,¹⁴³¹ and she brought⁹³⁵ him unto Pharaoh's⁶⁵⁴⁷ daughter,¹³²³ and he became¹⁹⁶¹ her son.¹¹²¹ And she called⁷¹²¹ his name⁸⁰³⁴ Moses:⁴⁸⁷² and she said,⁵⁵⁹ Because³⁵⁸⁸ I drew⁴⁸⁷¹ him out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the water.⁴³²⁵

11  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in those¹⁹⁹² days,³¹¹⁷ when Moses⁴⁸⁷² was grown,¹⁴³¹ that he went out³³¹⁸ unto⁴¹³ his brethren,²⁵¹ and looked⁷²⁰⁰ on their burdens:⁵⁴⁵⁰ and he spied⁷²⁰⁰ an Egyptian^{376 4713} smiting⁵²²¹ a Hebrew,^{376 5680} one of his brethren.^{4480 251}

12  And he looked⁶⁴³⁷ this way³⁵⁴¹ and that way,³⁵⁴¹ and when he saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ there was no³⁶⁹ man,³⁷⁶ he slew^{5221 853} the Egyptian,⁴⁷¹³ and hid²⁹³⁴ him in the sand.²³⁴⁴

13  And when he went out³³¹⁸ the second⁸¹⁴⁵ day,³¹¹⁷ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ two⁸¹⁴⁷ men³⁷⁶ of the Hebrews⁵⁶⁸⁰ strove together:⁵³²⁷ and he said⁵⁵⁹ to him that did the wrong,⁷⁵⁶³ Wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ smitest⁵²²¹ thou thy fellow?⁷⁴⁵³

14  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Who⁴³¹⁰ made⁷⁷⁶⁰ thee a prince⁸²⁶⁹ and a judge⁸¹⁹⁹ over⁵⁹²¹ us? intendest⁵⁵⁹ thou⁸⁵⁹ to kill²⁰²⁶ me, as⁸³⁴ thou killedst^{2026 853} the Egyptian?⁴⁷¹³ And Moses⁴⁸⁷² feared,³³⁷² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Surely⁴⁰³ this thing¹⁶⁹⁷ is known.³⁰⁴⁵

15  Now when Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ this^{2088 853} thing,¹⁶⁹⁷ he sought¹²⁴⁵ to slay^{2026 853} Moses.⁴⁸⁷² But Moses⁴⁸⁷² fled¹²⁷² from the face^{4480 6440} of Pharaoh,⁶⁵⁴⁷ and dwelt³⁴²⁷ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Midian:⁴⁰⁸⁰ and he sat down³⁴²⁷ by⁵⁹²¹ a well.⁸⁷⁵

16  Now the priest³⁵⁴⁸ of Midian⁴⁰⁸⁰ had seven⁷⁶⁵¹ daughters:¹³²³ and they came⁹³⁵ and drew¹⁸⁰² water, and filled^{4390 853} the troughs⁷²⁹⁸ to water⁸²⁴⁸ their father's¹ flock.⁶⁶²⁹

17  And the shepherds⁷⁴⁶² came⁹³⁵ and drove them away:¹⁶⁴⁴ but Moses⁴⁸⁷² stood up⁶⁹⁶⁵ and helped³⁴⁶⁷ them, and watered^{8248 853} their flock.⁶⁶²⁹

18  And when they came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Reuel⁷⁴⁶⁷ their father,¹ he said,⁵⁵⁹ How⁴⁰⁶⁹ is it that ye are come⁹³⁵ so soon⁴¹¹⁶ today?³¹¹⁷

19  And they said,⁵⁵⁹ An Egyptian^{376 4713} delivered⁵³³⁷ us out of the hand^{4480 3027} of the shepherds,⁷⁴⁶² and also¹⁵⁷¹ drew water enough^{1802 1802} for us, and watered^{8248 853} the flock.⁶⁶²⁹

20  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ his daughters,¹³²³ And where³⁴⁶ is he? why⁴¹⁰⁰ is it²⁰⁸⁸ that ye have left^{5800 853} the man?³⁷⁶ call⁷¹²¹ him, that he may eat³⁹⁸ bread.³⁸⁹⁹

21  And Moses⁴⁸⁷² was content²⁹⁷⁴ to dwell³⁴²⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ the man:³⁷⁶ and he gave⁵⁴¹⁴ Moses^{4872 853} Zipporah⁶⁸⁵⁵ his daughter.¹³²³

22  And she bore³²⁰⁵ him a son,¹¹²¹ and he called^{7121 853} his name⁸⁰³⁴ Gershom:¹⁶⁴⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ he said,⁵⁵⁹ I have been¹⁹⁶¹ a stranger¹⁶¹⁶ in a strange⁵²³⁷ land.⁷⁷⁶

23  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in process of time,^{3117 7227 1992} that the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ died:⁴¹⁹¹ and the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ sighed⁵⁸⁴ by reason of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the bondage,⁵⁶⁵⁶ and they cried,²¹⁹⁹ and their cry⁷⁷⁷⁵ came up⁵⁹²⁷ unto⁴¹³ God⁴³⁰ by reason of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the bondage.⁵⁶⁵⁶

24  And God⁴³⁰ heard^{8085 853} their groaning,⁵⁰⁰⁹ and God⁴³⁰ remembered^{2142 853} his covenant¹²⁸⁵ with⁸⁵⁴ Abraham,⁸⁵ with⁸⁵⁴ Isaac,³³²⁷ and with⁸⁵⁴ Jacob.³²⁹⁰

25  And God⁴³⁰ looked upon^{7200 853} the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and God⁴³⁰ had respect³⁰⁴⁵ unto them.

1 ἦν δέ τις ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Λευι ὃς ἔλαβεν τῶν θυγατέρων Λευι καὶ ἔσχεν αὐτήν

2 καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔλαβεν καὶ ἔτεκεν ἄρσεν ἰδόντες δὲ αὐτὸ ἀστεῖον ἐσκέπασαν αὐτὸ μῆνας τρεῖς

3 ἐπεὶ δὲ οὐκ ἠδύναντο αὐτὸ ἔτι κρύπτειν ἔλαβεν αὐτῷ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ θῖβιν καὶ κατέχρισεν αὐτὴν ἀσφαλτοπίσσῃ καὶ ἐνέβαλεν τὸ παιδίον εἰς αὐτὴν καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸ ἕλος παρὰ τὸν ποταμόν

4 καὶ κατεσκόπευεν ἡ ἀδελφὴ αὐτοῦ μακρόθεν μαθεῖν τί τὸ ἀποβησόμενον αὐτῷ

5 κατέβη δὲ ἡ θυγάτηρ Φαραω λούσασθαι ἐπὶ τὸν ποταμόν καὶ αἱ ἅβραι αὐτῆς παρεπορεύοντο παρὰ τὸν ποταμόν καὶ ἰδοῦσα τὴν θῖβιν ἐν τῷ ἕλει ἀποστείλασα τὴν ἅβραν ἀνείλατο αὐτήν

6 ἀνοίξασα δὲ ὁρᾷ παιδίον κλαῖον ἐν τῇ θίβει καὶ ἐφείσατο αὐτοῦ ἡ θυγάτηρ Φαραω καὶ ἔφη ἀπὸ τῶν παιδίων τῶν Εβραίων τοῦτο

7 καὶ εἶπεν ἡ ἀδελφὴ αὐτοῦ τῇ θυγατρὶ Φαραω θέλεις καλέσω σοι γυναῖκα τροφεύουσαν ἐκ τῶν Εβραίων καὶ θηλάσει σοι τὸ παιδίον

8 ἡ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἡ θυγάτηρ Φαραω πορεύου ἐλθοῦσα δὲ ἡ νεᾶνις ἐκάλεσεν τὴν μητέρα τοῦ παιδίου

9 εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὴν ἡ θυγάτηρ Φαραω διατήρησόν μοι τὸ παιδίον τοῦτο καὶ θήλασόν μοι αὐτό ἐγὼ δὲ δώσω σοι τὸν μισθόν ἔλαβεν δὲ ἡ γυνὴ τὸ παιδίον καὶ ἐθήλαζεν αὐτό

10 ἁδρυνθέντος δὲ τοῦ παιδίου εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸ πρὸς τὴν θυγατέρα Φαραω καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῇ εἰς υἱόν ἐπωνόμασεν δὲ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Μωυσῆν λέγουσα ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος αὐτὸν ἀνειλόμην

11 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταῖς πολλαῖς ἐκείναις μέγας γενόμενος Μωυσῆς ἐξήλθεν πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ κατανοήσας δὲ τὸν πόνον αὐτῶν ὁρᾷ ἄνθρωπον Αἰγύπτιον τύπτοντά τινα Εβραῖον τῶν ἑαυτοῦ ἀδελφῶν τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ

12 περιβλεψάμενος δὲ ὧδε καὶ ὧδε οὐχ ὁρᾷ οὐδένα καὶ πατάξας τὸν Αἰγύπτιον ἔκρυψεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἄμμῳ

13 ἐξελθὼν δὲ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ ὁρᾷ δύο ἄνδρας Εβραίους διαπληκτιζομένους καὶ λέγει τῷ ἀδικοῦντι διὰ τί σὺ τύπτεις τὸν πλησίον

14 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν τίς σε κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καὶ δικαστὴν ἐφ᾽ ἡμῶν μὴ ἀνελεῖν με σὺ θέλεις ὃν τρόπον ἀνεῖλες ἐχθὲς τὸν Αἰγύπτιον ἐφοβήθη δὲ Μωυσῆς καὶ εἶπεν εἰ οὕτως ἐμφανὲς γέγονεν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο

15 ἤκουσεν δὲ Φαραω τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο καὶ ἐζήτει ἀνελεῖν Μωυσῆν ἀνεχώρησεν δὲ Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ προσώπου Φαραω καὶ ᾤκησεν ἐν γῇ Μαδιαμ ἐλθὼν δὲ εἰς γῆν Μαδιαμ ἐκάθισεν ἐπὶ τοῦ φρέατος

16 τῷ δὲ ἱερεῖ Μαδιαμ ἦσαν ἑπτὰ θυγατέρες ποιμαίνουσαι τὰ πρόβατα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν Ιοθορ παραγενόμεναι δὲ ἤντλουν ἕως ἔπλησαν τὰς δεξαμενὰς ποτίσαι τὰ πρόβατα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν Ιοθορ

17 παραγενόμενοι δὲ οἱ ποιμένες ἐξέβαλον αὐτάς ἀναστὰς δὲ Μωυσῆς ἐρρύσατο αὐτὰς καὶ ἤντλησεν αὐταῖς καὶ ἐπότισεν τὰ πρόβατα αὐτῶν

18 παρεγένοντο δὲ πρὸς Ραγουηλ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐταῖς τί ὅτι ἐταχύνατε τοῦ παραγενέσθαι σήμερον

19 αἱ δὲ εἶπαν ἄνθρωπος Αἰγύπτιος ἐρρύσατο ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τῶν ποιμένων καὶ ἤντλησεν ἡμῖν καὶ ἐπότισεν τὰ πρόβατα ἡμῶν

20 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ταῖς θυγατράσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ποῦ ἐστι καὶ ἵνα τί οὕτως καταλελοίπατε τὸν ἄνθρωπον καλέσατε οὖν αὐτόν ὅπως φάγῃ ἄρτον

21 κατῳκίσθη δὲ Μωυσῆς παρὰ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ καὶ ἐξέδοτο Σεπφωραν τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ Μωυσῇ γυναῖκα

22 ἐν γαστρὶ δὲ λαβοῦσα ἡ γυνὴ ἔτεκεν υἱόν καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν Μωυσῆς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Γηρσαμ λέγων ὅτι πάροικός εἰμι ἐν γῇ ἀλλοτρίᾳ

23 μετὰ δὲ τὰς ἡμέρας τὰς πολλὰς ἐκείνας ἐτελεύτησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου καὶ κατεστέναξαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων καὶ ἀνεβόησαν καὶ ἀνέβη ἡ βοὴ αὐτῶν πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων

24 καὶ εἰσήκουσεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν στεναγμὸν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὁ θεὸς τῆς διαθήκης αὐτοῦ τῆς πρὸς Αβρααμ καὶ Ισαακ καὶ Ιακωβ

25 καὶ ἐπεῖδεν ὁ θεὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ καὶ ἐγνώσθη αὐτοῖς

1 Egressus est post hæc vir de domo Levi: et accepit uxorem stirpis suæ.

2 Quæ concepit, et peperit filium: et videns eum elegantem, abscondit tribus mensibus.

3 Cumque jam celare non posset, sumpsit fiscellam scirpeam, et linivit eam bitumine ac pice: posuitque intus infantulum, et exposuit eum in carecto ripæ fluminis,

4 stante procul sorore ejus, et considerante eventum rei.

5 Ecce autem descendebat filia Pharaonis ut lavaretur in flumine: et puellæ ejus gradiebantur per crepidinem alvei. Quæ cum vidisset fiscellam in papyrione, misit unam e famulabus suis: et allatam

6 aperiens, cernensque in ea parvulum vagientem, miserta ejus, ait: De infantibus Hebræorum est hic.

7 Cui soror pueri: Vis, inquit, ut vadam, et vocem tibi mulierem hebræam, quæ nutrire possit infantulum?

8 Respondit: Vade. Perrexit puella et vocavit matrem suam.

9 Ad quam locuta filia Pharaonis: Accipe, ait, puerum istum, et nutri mihi: ego dabo tibi mercedem tuam. Suscepit mulier, et nutrivit puerum: adultumque tradidit filiæ Pharaonis.

10 Quem illa adoptavit in locum filii, vocavitque nomen ejus Moyses, dicens: Quia de aqua tuli eum.

11 In diebus illis postquam creverat Moyses, egressus est ad fratres suos: viditque afflictionem eorum, et virum ægyptium percutientem quemdam de Hebræis fratribus suis.

12 Cumque circumspexisset huc atque illuc, et nullum adesse vidisset, percussum Ægyptium abscondit sabulo.

13 Et egressus die altero conspexit duos Hebræos rixantes: dixitque ei qui faciebat injuriam: Quare percutis proximum tuum?

14 Qui respondit: Quis te constituit principem et judicem super nos? num occidere me tu vis, sicut heri occidisti Ægyptium? Timuit Moyses, et ait: Quomodo palam factum est verbum istud?

15 Audivitque Pharao sermonem hunc, et quærebat occidere Moysen: qui fugiens de conspectu ejus, moratus est in terra Madian, et sedit juxta puteum.

16 Erant autem sacerdoti Madian septem filiæ, quæ venerunt ad hauriendam aquam: et impletis canalibus adaquare cupiebant greges patris sui.

17 Supervenere pastores, et ejecerunt eas: surrexitque Moyses, et defensis puellis, adaquavit oves earum.

18 Quæ cum revertissent ad Raguel patrem suum, dixit ad eas: Cur velocius venistis solito?

19 Responderunt: Vir ægyptius liberavit nos de manu pastorum: insuper et hausit aquam nobiscum, potumque dedit ovibus.

20 At ille: Ubi est? inquit: quare dimisistis hominem? vocate eum ut comedat panem.

21 Juravit ergo Moyses quod habitaret cum eo. Accepitque Sephoram filiam ejus uxorem:

22 quæ peperit ei filium, quem vocavit Gersam, dicens: Advena fui in terra aliena. Alterum vero peperit, quem vocavit Eliezer, dicens: Deus enim patris mei adjutor meus eripuit me de manu Pharaonis.

23 Post multum vero tempore mortuus est rex Ægypti: et ingemiscentes filii Israël, propter opera vociferati sunt: ascenditque clamor eorum ad Deum ab operibus.

24 Et audivit gemitum eorum, ac recordatus est fœderis quod pepigit cum Abraham, Isaac et Jacob.

25 Et respexit Dominus filios Israël et cognovit eos.
