1 -These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family:
2 -Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
3 -Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
4 -Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.
5 -The descendants of Jacob numbered seventy in all, including Joseph, who was already in Egypt.
6 -Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,
7 -but the Israelites were fruitful and increased rapidly; they multiplied and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them.
8 -Then a new king, who did not know Joseph, came to power in Egypt.
9 -“Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become too numerous and too powerful for us.
10 -Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, or they will increase even more; and if a war breaks out, they may join our enemies, fight against us, and leave the country.”
11 -So the Egyptians appointed taskmasters over the Israelites to oppress them with forced labor. As a result, they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh.
12 -But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and flourished; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites.
13 -They worked the Israelites ruthlessly
14 -and made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar, and with all kinds of work in the fields. Every service they imposed was harsh.
15 -Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah,
16 -“When you help the Hebrew women give birth, observe them on the birthstools. If the child is a son, kill him; but if it is a daughter, let her live.”
17 -The midwives, however, feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had instructed; they let the boys live.
18 -So the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?”
19 -The midwives answered Pharaoh, “The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before a midwife arrives.”
20 -So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied and became even more numerous.
21 -And because the midwives feared God, He gave them families of their own.
22 -Then Pharaoh commanded all his people: “Every son born to the Hebrews you must throw into the Nile, but every daughter you may allow to live.”
