1 And there went a man of the house of Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner], and took [to wife] a daughter of Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner].

2 And the woman conceived, and bore a son: and when she saw him that he [was a] goodly [child], she hid him three months.

3 And when she could no longer hide him, 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.

4 And his sister stood afar off, that is to say what would be done to him.

5 And the daughter of Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House] 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.

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 the ‘Evrim [Hebrew] children.

7 Then said his sister to Par’oh’s [Pharaoh - Great House] daughter, Shall I go and call to (to do entirely, do wholly) youi a nurse of the ‘Evri’ot [Hebrew] women, that she may nurse the child for youi?

8 And Par’oh’s [Pharaoh - Great House] daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.

9 And Par’oh’s [Pharaoh - Great House] daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give [youi] youri wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.

10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Par’oh’s [Pharaoh - Great House] daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters]: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.

11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Mitzri [Egyptian] attacking an ‘Evri’ot [Hebrew], one of his brethren.

12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that [there was] no man, he killed the Mitzri [Egyptian], and hid him in the sand.

13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the ‘Evri’ot [Hebrew] strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, For what reason strike youi youri fellow?

14 And he said, Who made youi a prince and a judge over us? intend youi to kill me, as youi killed the Mitzri [Egyptian]? And Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.

15 Now when Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House] heard this thing, he sought to slay Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters]. But Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] fled from the face of Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House], and dwelt in the land of Midyan [Strife]: and he sat down by a well.

16 Now the priest of Midyan [Strife] had seven daughters: and they came and drew [water], and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.

17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

18 And when they came to Reu’el [Friend of God] their father, he said, How [is it that] you2f are come so soon to day?

19 And they said, An Mitzri [Egyptian] delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew [water] enough for us, and watered the flock.

20 And he said unto his daughters, And where [is] he? why [is] it [that] you2f have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.

21 And Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moshe his daughter.

22 And she bore [him] a son, and he called his name Gershom [Exiled One]: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.

23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] died: and the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] by reason of the bondage.

24 And God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] heard their groaning, and God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] remembered his covenant with Avraham [Exalted Father], with Yitz’chak [Laughter], and with Ya’akov [Heal of God].

25 And God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] looked upon the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and God-Elōhīm [The Creator] had respect unto [them].
