Mose's Birth.

(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.

(11)  Therefore they did set over them taskmaster to afflict them with their burdens.  And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamess.

(12)  But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew.  And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.

(13)  And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour.

(14)  And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick and in all manner of service in the field:  all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.

(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.

(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.

(18)  When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him,  We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent, my lord also hath our herds of cattle;  there is not aught left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:

(19)  Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land?  buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh:  and give us seed, that we may live, and not die that the land be not desolate.

(20)  And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh;  for the Egyptians sold every man his field because the famine prevailed over them:  so the land became Pharaoh's.

(21)  And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
