Ow thefe are the names, of the fonnes of Ifrael which came , into Egypt : every- _ man and his houle, came; with Jakob. Reuben, Si- meon, Levi , and Judah. If- fachar, Zabulon, and Benjamin.

And all the fouls, that came-out of the thigh of Jakob, were feventy foules: and Jofeph was in Egypt. 6 And Jofeph died, and all his brethren; and all that generation. And the fons of Ifrael, were fruitfull,andincreafedabundantly, and multiplied,and wexed - mighty, mort excee- dingly: and the land was filled, with them. And there arofe -up a new King, over E- gypt; which knew not Jofeph. And he laid, unto his people: behold, the people of the fons of Ifrael , are moe and mightier than we. Come -on , let us deale- wifely with them : left they multiply ; and it be, when there fall out warre, then they be added al- to unto our enemies ; and warre againfi us, and goe -up out ofthe land.

And the King of Egypt 15 faid,to the midwives ofthe Hebrew women: of which the name of one, was Shiphrah; and the name of the other, Puah. And hee faid, when ye do the midwivesoffice, to the Hebrew - women;& fee them,npon the (tools: if it be a fon,then ye fhall kill him; and if it be a daughter, then The (hall live.' But the mid - wives,feared God;and did not as the king of Egypt fpake unto them : but faved alive, the men- childrep. And the King of Egypt, cal- led for the midwives, and laid unto them; why have yee done this thing : and have fa- ved alive, the men-children ? And the mid- 19 wives Paid, unto Pharaoh ; becaufe the He- brew- women, are not as the Egyptian -wo- men: for they are livcly;and do bring- fofth, ere the midwife come -in unto them. And God dealt well with the mid - wives: am': the people multiplied,and wexed very mighty. And it was , becaufe the mid -wives f arec t e God; that he made them houles. And Pha -' a, raoh commanded, all his people, laying: every fon that is borne yee (hall call him into the river; and every daughter, yee (hall fave,alive. 14 16 17 18 20 Annotations.
