over{G1909} Egypt{G125} and{G2532} all{G3650} his{G846} house.{G3624} 11 Now{G1161} there came{G2064} a famine{G3042} over{G1909} all{G3650} {G1093} Egypt{G125} and{G2532} Canaan,{G5477} and{G2532} great{G3173} affliction:{G2347} and{G2532} our{G2257} fathers{G3962} found{G2147} no{G3756} sustenance.{G5527} 12 But{G1161} when{G191} Jacob{G2384} heard{G191} that there was{G5607} grain{G4621} in{G1722} Egypt,{G125} he sent forth{G1821} our{G2257} fathers{G3962} the first{G4412} time. 13 And{G2532} at{G1722} the second{G1208} time Joseph{G2501} was made known{G319} to{G80} his{G846} brethren;{G80} and{G2532} Joseph's{G2501} race{G1085} became{G1096} manifest{G5318} unto Pharaoh.{G5328} 14 And{G1161} Joseph{G2501} sent,{G649} and{G1161} called{G3333} to{G1722} him Jacob{G2384} his{G846} father,{G3962} and{G2532} all{G3956} his{G846} kindred,{G4772} threescore{G1440} and fifteen{G4002} souls.{G5590} 15 And{G1161} Jacob{G2384} went down{G2597} into{G1519} Egypt;{G125} and{G2532} he{G846} died,{G5053} himself and{G2532} our{G2257} fathers;{G3962} 16 and{G2532} they were carried over{G3346} unto{G1519} Shechem,{G4966} and{G2532} laid{G5087} in{G1722} the tomb{G3418} that{G3739} Abraham{G11} bought{G5608} for a price{G5092} in silver{G694} of{G3844} the sons{G5207} of Hamor{G1697} in{G3588} Shechem.{G4966} 17 But{G1161} as{G2531} the time{G5550} of the promise{G1860} drew nigh{G1448} which{G3739} God{G2316} vouchsafed{G3660} unto Abraham,{G11} the people{G2992} grew{G837} and{G2532} multiplied{G4129} in{G1722} Egypt,{G125} 18 till{G891} {G3757} there arose{G450} another{G2087} king{G935} over Egypt, who{G3739} knew{G1492} not{G3756} Joseph.{G2501} 19 The same{G3778} dealt craftily{G2686} with{G1085} our{G2257} race,{G1085} and ill-treated{G2559} our{G2257} fathers,{G3962} that they{G4160} should cast out{G1570} their{G846} babes{G1025} to the end{G1519} they might{G2225} not{G3361} live.{G2225} 20 At{G1722} which{G3739} season{G2540} Moses{G3475} was born,{G1080} and{G2532} was{G2258} exceeding{G2316} fair;{G791} and{G2532} he was nourished{G397} three{G5140} months{G3376} in{G1722} his{G846} father's{G3962} house.{G3624} 21 and{G1161} when he{G846} was cast out,{G1620} Pharaoh's{G5328} daughter{G2364} took{G337} him{G846} up,{G337} and{G2532} nourished{G397} him{G846} for{G1519} her own{G1438} son.{G5207} 22 And{G2532} Moses{G3475} was instructed{G3811} in all{G3956} the wisdom{G4678} of the Egyptians;{G124} and{G1161} he was{G2258} mighty{G1415} in{G1722} his words{G3056} and{G2532} {G1722} works.{G2041} 23 But{G1161} when{G5613} he{G846} was well-nigh{G4137} forty years{G5063} old,{G5550} it came{G305} into{G1909} his{G846} heart{G2588} to visit{G1980} his{G846} brethren{G80} the children{G5207} of Israel.{G2474} 24 And{G2532} seeing{G1492} one{G5100} [of them] suffer wrong,{G91} he defended{G292} him, and{G2532} avenged{G1557} {G4160} him that was oppressed,{G2669} smiting{G3960} the Egyptian:{G124} 25 and{G1161} he supposed{G3543} that his{G846} brethren{G80} understood{G4920} that{G3754} God{G2316} by{G1223} his{G846} hand{G5495} was giving them{G846} {G4991} deliverance;{G1325} but{G1161} they understood{G4920} not.{G3756} 26 And{G5037} the day{G2250} following{G1966} he appeared{G3700} unto them{G846} as they strove,{G3164} and{G2532} would have set{G4900} them{G846} at{G1519} one{G1515} again,{G4900} saying,{G2036} Sirs,{G435} ye{G5210} are{G2075} brethren;{G80} why{G2444} do ye wrong{G91} one to another?{G240} 27 But{G1161} he that did{G91} his neighbor{G4139} wrong{G91} thrust{G683} him{G846} away,{G683} saying,{G2036} Who{G5101} made{G2525} thee{G4571} a ruler{G758} and{G2532} a judge{G1348} over{G1909} us?{G2248} 28 Wouldest{G3361} {G2309} thou{G4771} kill{G337} me,{G3165} as{G3739} thou{G4771} killedst{G337} the Egyptian{G124} yesterday?{G5504} 29 And{G1161} Moses{G3475} fled{G5343} at{G1722} this{G5129} saying,{G3056} and{G2532} became{G1096} a sojourner{G3941} in{G1722} the land{G1093} of Midian,{G3099} where{G3757} he begat{G1080} two{G1417} sons.{G5207} 30 And{G2532} when{G4137} forty{G5062} years{G2094} were fulfilled,{G4137} an angel{G32} {G2962} appeared{G3700} to him{G846} in{G1722} the wilderness{G2048} of Mount{G3735} Sinai,{G4614} in{G1722} a flame{G5395} of fire{G4442} in a bush.{G942} 31 And when{G1161} Moses{G3475} saw{G1492} it, he wondered{G2296} at the sight:{G3705} and{G1161} as he drew near{G4334} to behold,{G2657} there came{G1096} {G4314} {G846} a voice{G5456} of the Lord,{G2962} 32 I{G1473} am the God{G2316} of{G3962} thy{G4675} fathers,{G3962} the God{G2316} of Abraham,{G11} and{G2532} {G2316} of Isaac,{G2464} and{G2532} {G2316} of Jacob.{G2384} And{G1161} Moses{G3475} trembled,{G1096} and durst{G5111} not{G3756} behold.{G2657} 33 And{G1161} the Lord{G2962} said{G2036} unto him,{G846} Loose{G3089} the{G4675} shoes{G5266} from{G4228} thy{G4675} feet:{G4228} for{G1063} the place{G5117} whereon{G1722} {G3739} thou standest{G2476} is{G2076} holy{G40} ground.{G1093} 34 I have surely{G1492} seen{G1492} the affliction{G2561} of{G2992} my{G3450} people{G2992} that{G3588} is in{G1722} Egypt,{G125} and{G2532} have heard{G191} their{G846} groaning,{G4726} and{G2532} I am come down{G2597} to deliver{G1807} them:{G846} and{G2532} now{G3568} come,{G1204} I will send{G649} thee{G4571} into{G1519} Egypt.{G125} 35 This{G5126} Moses{G3475} whom{G3739} they refused,{G720} saying,{G2036} Who{G5101} made{G2525} thee{G4571} a ruler{G758} and{G2532} a judge?{G1348} him{G5126} hath{G649} God{G2316} sent{G649} [to be] both a ruler{G758} and{G2532} a deliverer{G3086} with{G1722} the hand{G5495} of the angel{G32} that{G3588} appeared{G3700} to him{G846} in{G1722} the bush.{G942} 36 This man{G3778} led{G1806} them{G846} forth,{G1806} having wrought{G4160} wonders{G5059} and{G2532} signs{G4592} in{G1722} {G1093} Egypt,{G125} and{G2532} in{G1722} the{G2281} Red{G2063} Sea,{G2281} and{G2532} in{G1722} the wilderness{G2048} forty{G5062} years.{G2094} 37 This{G3778} is{G2076} that{G3778} Moses,{G3475} who said{G2036} unto the children{G5207} of Israel,{G2474} A prophet{G4396} shall{G450} God{G2316} {G5216} {G2316} raise up{G450} unto you{G5213} from{G1537} among your{G5216} brethren,{G80} like{G5613} unto me.{G1691} 38 This{G3778} is{G2076} he that was{G1096} in{G1722} the church{G1577} in{G1722} the wilderness{G2048} with{G3326} the angel{G32} that{G3588} spake{G2980} to him{G846} in{G1722} the Mount{G3735} Sinai,{G4614} and{G2532} with our{G2257} fathers:{G3962} who{G3739} received{G1209} living{G2198} oracles{G3051} to give{G1325} unto us:{G2254} 39 to whom{G3739} our{G2257} fathers{G3962} would{G2309} not{G3756} be{G1096} obedient,{G5255} but{G235} thrust{G683} him from them,{G683} and{G2532} turned back{G4762} in{G2588} their{G846} hearts{G2588} unto{G1519} Egypt,{G125} 40 saying{G2036} unto Aaron,{G2} Make{G4160} us{G2254} gods{G2316} that{G3739} shall go before{G4313} us:{G2257} for{G1063} as for this{G3778} Moses,{G3475} who{G3739} led{G1806} us{G2248} forth out{G1806} of{G1537} the land{G1093} of Egypt,{G125} we know{G1492} not{G3756} what{G5101} is become{G1096} of him.{G846} 41 And{G2532} they made a calf{G3447} in{G1722} those{G1565} days,{G2250} and{G2532} brought{G321} a sacrifice{G2378} unto the idol,{G1497} and{G2532} rejoiced{G2165} in{G1722} the works{G2041} of their{G846} hands.{G5495} 42 But{G1161} God{G2316} turned,{G4762} and{G2532} gave{G3860} them{G846} up{G3860} to serve{G3000} the host{G4756} of heaven;{G3772} as{G2531} it is written{G1125} in{G1722} the book{G976} of the prophets,{G4396} Did ye offer{G4374} unto me{G3427} slain beasts{G4968} and{G2532} sacrifices{G2378} Forty{G5062} years{G2094} in{G1722} the wilderness,{G2048} O house{G3624} of Israel?{G3361} 43 And{G2532} ye took up{G353} the tabernacle{G4633} of{G2316} Moloch,{G3434} And{G2532} the star{G798} of{G2316} the god{G2316} Rephan,{G4481} The figures{G5179} which{G3739} ye made{G4160} to worship{G4352} them:{G846} And{G2532} I will carry{G3351} you{G5209} away{G3351} beyond{G1900} Babylon.{G897} 44 Our{G2257} fathers{G3962} had{G2258} the tabernacle{G4633} of the testimony{G3142} in{G1722} the wilderness,{G2048} even as{G2531} he appointed{G1299} who spake{G2980} unto Moses,{G3475} that he should make{G4160} it{G846} according to{G2596} the figure{G5179} that{G3739} he had seen.{G3708} 45 Which{G3739} also{G2532} our{G2257} fathers,{G3962} in their turn,{G1237}
