|
|
14. and he saith, `Who set thee for a head and a judge over us? to slay me art thou saying it, as thou hast slain the Egyptian?` and Moses feareth, and saith, `Surely the thing hath been known.`
|
14. And he said H559 , Who H4310 made H7760 thee a prince H8269 and a judge H8199 over H5921 us? intendest H559 thou H859 to kill H2026 me, as H834 thou killedst H2026 H853 the Egyptian H4713 ? And Moses H4872 feared H3372 , and said H559 , Surely H403 this thing H1697 is known H3045 .

|
15. Now when Pharaoh H6547 heard H8085 this H2088 H853 thing H1697 , he sought H1245 to slay H2026 H853 Moses H4872 . But Moses H4872 fled H1272 from the face H4480 H6440 of Pharaoh H6547 , and dwelt H3427 in the land H776 of Midian H4080 : and he sat down H3427 by H5921 a well H875 .

|
|
18. And they come in to Reuel their father, and he saith, `Wherefore have ye hastened to come in to-day?`
|
18. And when they came H935 to H413 Reuel H7467 their father H1 , he said H559 , How H4069 is it that ye are come H935 so soon H4116 today H3117 ?
|
|
19. and they say, `A man, an Egyptian, hath delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also hath diligently drawn for us, and watereth the flock;`
|
19. And they said H559 , An Egyptian H376 H4713 delivered H5337 us out of the hand H4480 H3027 of the shepherds H7462 , and also H1571 drew water enough H1802 H1802 for us , and watered H8248 H853 the flock H6629 .
|
|
20. and he saith unto his daughters, `And where is he? why is this? -- ye left the man! call for him, and he doth eat bread.`
|
20. And he said H559 unto H413 his daughters H1323 , And where H346 is he? why H4100 is it H2088 that ye have left H5800 H853 the man H376 ? call H7121 him , that he may eat H398 bread H3899 .

|
|
22. and she beareth a son, and he calleth his name Gershom, for he said, `A sojourner I have been in a strange land.`
|
22. And she bore H3205 him a son H1121 , and he called H7121 H853 his name H8034 Gershom H1648 : for H3588 he said H559 , I have been H1961 a stranger H1616 in a strange H5237 land H776 .
|
|
23. And it cometh to pass during these many days, that the king of Egypt dieth, and the sons of Israel sigh because of the service, and cry, and their cry goeth up unto God, because of the service;
|
23. And it came to pass H1961 in process of time H3117 H7227 H1992 , that the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 died H4191 : and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 sighed H584 by reason of H4480 the bondage H5656 , and they cried H2199 , and their cry H7775 came up H5927 unto H413 God H430 by reason of H4480 the bondage H5656 .
|
|
24. and God heareth their groaning, and God remembereth His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
|
24. And God H430 heard H8085 H853 their groaning H5009 , and God H430 remembered H2142 H853 his covenant H1285 with H854 Abraham H85 , with H854 Isaac H3327 , and with H854 Jacob H3290 .
|
|
25. and God seeth the sons of Israel, and God knoweth.
|
25. And God H430 looked upon H7200 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and God H430 had respect H3045 unto them .
