Library > Bible versions > NIV > Exodus > 1 > Exodus   1 : 1 These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family: 1 : 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah; 1 : 3 Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin; 1 : 4 Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher. 1 : 5 The descendants of Jacob numbered seventy in all; Joseph was already in Egypt. 1 : 6 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died, 1 : 7 but the Israelites were fruitful and multiplied greatly and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them. 1 : 8 Then a new king, who did not know about Joseph, came to power in Egypt. 1 : 9 Look, he said to his people, "the Israelites have become much too numerous for us. 1 : 10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country." 1 : 11 So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh. 1 : 12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites 1 : 13 and worked them ruthlessly. 1 : 14 They made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their hard labor the Egyptians used them ruthlessly. 1 : 15 The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, 1 : 16 When you help the Hebrew women in childbirth and observe them on the delivery stool, if it is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live. 1 : 17 The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live. 1 : 18 Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, "Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?" 1 : 19 The midwives answered Pharaoh, "Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive." 1 : 20 So God was kind to the midwives and the people increased and became even more numerous. 1 : 21 And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own. 1 : 22 Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: "Every boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live."
