(iii)
And it came to pass in those days, when Mosheh was grown,
that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their
burdens: and he spied an Mitzrites smiting a Ish Ivri, one of his
brethren.
(Shemot 2:1-4:28)
2:1 And there went a man beit ha Levy, and took [to wife] a daughter of Levy.
2:2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he [was a] goodly [child], she hid him three months.
2:3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him a Tebah (ark) of papyrus (bulrushes), and daubed it with slime and with Zepheth (pitch), and put the child therein; and she laid [it] in the flags by the river's brink.
2:4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
2:5 And the daughter of Paroh came down to wash [herself] at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the Tebah (ark) among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
2:6 And when she had opened [it], she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This [is one] of yaldei (children) ha irvim ze.
2:7 Then said his sister to Paroh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the ha Ivriyot (hebrews) Isha, that she may nurse the child for thee?
2:8 And Paroh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
2:9 And Paroh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give [thee] thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
2:10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Paroh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Mosheh: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
2:11 (iii)
And it came to pass in those days, when Mosheh was grown,
that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their
burdens: and he spied an Mitzrites smiting a Ish Ivri, one of his
brethren.
2:12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that [there was] no man, he slew the Mitzrites, and hid him in the sand.
2:13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
2:14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Mitzrites? And Mosheh feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
2:15 Now when Paroh heard this thing, he sought to slay Mosheh. But Mosheh fled from the face of Paroh, and dwelt in the land of Midyan: and he sat down by a well.
2:16 Now the Kohen Midyan had seven daughters: and they came and drew [water], and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
2:17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Mosheh stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
2:18 And when they came to Re'u'el their father, he said, How [is it that] ye are come so soon to day?
2:19 And they said, A Mitzrites delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew [water] enough for us, and watered the flock.
2:20 And he said unto his daughters, And where [is] he? why [is] it [that] ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
2:21 And Mosheh was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Mosheh Tzipporah his daughter.
2:22 And she bare [him] a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
2:23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Mitzrayim died: and the benai Yisrael sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto Elohim by reason of the bondage.
2:24 And Elohim heard their groaning, and Elohim remembered his covenant with Avraham, with Yitz'chak , and with Yaakov.
2:25 And Elohim looked upon the benai Yisrael, and Elohim had respect unto [them].
