02:001:018 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?
02:001:019 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.
02:001:020 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
02:001:021 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
02:001:022 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
02:002:001 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
02:002:002 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
02:002:003 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
02:002:004 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
02:002:005 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
