15
And Jacob came down into Egypt, and was dead, he and our fathers;
16
and they were translated into Sychem, and were laid in the sepulchre, that Abraham bought by price of silver of the sons of Emmor, the son of Sychem.
17
And when the time of promise came nigh, which God had acknowledged to Abraham, the people waxed, and multiplied in Egypt,
18
till another king rose in Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
19
This beguiled our kin, and tormented our fathers, that they should put away their young children [that they should put out their young children], for they should not live.
20
In the same time Moses was born, and he was loved of God; and he was nourished three months in the house of his father [and he was accepted, or loved, of God; and he was nursed three months in the house of his father].
21
And when he was put out in the river [Forsooth when he was put out], the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and nourished him into her son.
22
And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and works.
23
But when the time of forty years was filled to him [was full-filled to him], it rose up into his heart, that he should visit his brethren, the sons of Israel.
24
And when he saw a man suffering wrong, he venged him, and did vengeance for him that suffered the wrong [and did vengeance to him that suffered wrong], and killed the Egyptian.
25
For he guessed that his brethren should understand, that God should give to them health by the hand of him [that God by the hand of him should give to them health]; but they understood not.
