6 And Joseph died, and all his breth-

7 And the children of Israel were
fruitful, and increased abundantly, and
multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty;
and the land was filled with them.

8 Now there arose up a new king over
Egypt, which knew not Joseph.

9 And he said unto his people, Behold,
f the people of the children of Israel are
more and mightier than we:

10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.

made them serve, was with rigour.
15 And the king of Egypt spake to the
Hebrew midwives, of which the name of
the one was Shiphrah, and the name of
the other Puah:

16 And he said, When ye do the office
of a midwife to the Hebrew women,
5 and see them upon the stools 5; if
it be a son, then ye shall kill
him :
but if it be a daughter, then she shall
live.

18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?

19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.

20 Therefore God dealt well with the Prov. 11.

waxed very mighty.

21 And it came to pass, because the
midwives feared God, that he made
them houses.
