1
And it was at that time the spirit of Elohim was upon Miryam the daughter of Amram the sister of Aharon, and she went forth and prophesied about the house, saying, Behold a son will be born to us from my father and mother this time, and he will save Yis’rael from the hands of Mitsrayim.
2
And when Amram heard the words of his daughter, he went and took his wife back to the house, after he had driven her away at the time when Par’oh ordered every male child of the house of Ya’aqov to be thrown into the water.
3
So Amram took Yokheved his wife, three years after he had driven her away, and he came to her and she conceived.
4
And at the end of seven months from her conception she brought forth a son, and the whole house was filled with great light as of the light of the sun and moon at the time of their shining.
5
And when the woman saw the child that it was good and pleasing to the sight, she hid it for three months in an inner room.
6
In those days the Mitsriym conspired to destroy all the Ivrim there.
7
And the Mitsri women went to Goshen where the children of Yis’rael were, and they carried their young ones upon their shoulders, their babes who could not yet speak.
8
And in those days, when the women of the children of Yis’rael brought forth, each woman had hidden her son from before the Mitsriym, that the Mitsriym might not know of their bringing forth, and might not destroy them from the land.
9
And the Mitsri women came to Goshen and their children who could not speak were upon their shoulders, and when an Mitsri woman came into the house of a Ivri woman her babe began to cry.
10
And when it cried the child that was in the inner room answered it, so the Mitsri women went and told it at the house of Par’oh.
11
And Par’oh sent his officers to take the children and slay them; thus did the Mitsriym to the Ivri women all the days.
12
And it was at that time, about three months from Yokheved's concealment of her son, that the thing was known in Par’oh's house.
13
And the woman hastened to take away her son before the officers came, and she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child in it, and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
14
And his sister Miryam stood afar off to know what would be done to him, and what would become of her words.
15
And Elohim sent forth at that time a terrible heat in the land of Mitsrayim, which burned up the flesh of man like the sun in his circuit, and it greatly oppressed the Mitsriym.
16
And all the Mitsriym went down to bathe in the river, on account of the consuming heat which burned up their flesh.
17
And Bathia, the daughter of Par’oh, went also to bathe in the river, owing to the consuming heat, and her maidens walked at the river side, and all the women of Mitsrayim as well.
18
And Bathia lifted up her eyes to the river, and she saw the ark upon the water, and sent her maid to fetch it.
19
And she opened it and saw the child, and behold the babe wept, and she had compassion on him, and she said, This is one of the Ivri children.
20
And all the women of Mitsrayim walking on the river side desired to give him suck, but he would not suck, for this thing was from Yahuah, in order to restore him to his mother's breast.
21
And Miryam his sister was at that time among the Mitsri women at the river side, and she saw this thing and she said to Par’oh's daughter, Shall I go and fetch a nurse of the Ivri women, that she may nurse the child for you?
22
And Par’oh's daughter said to her, Go, and the young woman went and called the child's mother.
23
And Par’oh's daughter said to Yokheved, Take this child away and suckle it for me, and I will pay you your wages, two bits of silver daily; and the woman took the child and nursed it.
24
And at the end of two years, when the child grew up, she brought him to the daughter of Par’oh, and he was to her as a son, and she called his name Mosheh, for she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
25
And Amram his father called his name Chabar, for he said, It was for him that he associated with his wife whom he had turned away.
26
And Yokheved his mother called his name Yequti’el, Because, she said, I have hoped for him to the Almighty, and Elohim restored him to me.
27
And Miryam his sister called him Yered, for she descended after him to the river to know what his end would be.
28
And Aharon his brother called his name Abi Zanuch, saying, My father left my mother and returned to her on his account.
29
And Kehath the father of Amram called his name Abigdor, because on his account did Elohim repair the breach of the house of Ya’aqov, that they could no longer throw their male children into the water.
30
And their nurse called him Abi Socho, saying, In his Mishkan was he hidden for three months, on account of the children of Cham.
31
And all Yis’rael called his name Shemaiah, son of Nethanel, for they said, In his days has Elohim heard their cries and rescued them from their oppressors.
32
And Mosheh was in Par’oh's house, and was to Bathia, Par’oh's daughter, as a son, and Mosheh grew up among the king's children.
