GENESIS
Ge:50:17: So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
Ge:50:18: And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
Ge:50:19: And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
Ge:50:20: But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
Ge:50:21: Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
Ge:50:22: And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
Ge:50:23: And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph’s knees.
Ge:50:24: And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Ge:50:25: And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
Ge:50:26: So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
EXODUS
Chapter 01
Ex:1:1: Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
Ex:1:2: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
Ex:1:3: Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Ex:1:4: Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
Ex:1:5: And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
Ex:1:6: And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
Ex:1:7: And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
Ex:1:8: Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
Ex:1:9: And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
Ex:1:10: Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
Ex:1:11: Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
Ex:1:12: But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
Ex:1:13: And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
Ex:1:14: And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
Ex:1:15: And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
Ex:1:16: And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
Ex:1:17: But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
Ex:1:18: 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?
Ex:1:19: 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.
