The II. Chapter.
A noteAnd there wente forth a man of the
house of Leui, and toke a doughter of
Leui. noteAnd the wife conceaued and
bare a sonne. And whan she sawe þt; it was
a proper childe, she hyd him thre monethes.
And whan she coude hyde him no longer,
she toke an Arke of redes, and dawbed it
ouer with slyme and pitch, and layed the
childe therin, and set it amonge the redes
by the waters brynke. But his sister stode
a farre of, to wete what wolde come of
him.
And Pharaos doughter came downe,
to wash herself in the water: And hir maydens
walked by the water syde: and whan
she sawe the Arke amonge the redes, she
sent one of hir maydens, and caused it to be
fett. And whan she opened it, she sawe þe; childe:
and beholde the babe wepte. Then had
she pytie vpon it, and sayde: It is one of the
Hebrues children.
B Then sayde his syster vnto Pharaos
doughter: Shal I go, and call the a nurse
of the Hebrues wemen, to nurse þe; the childe?
Pharaos doughter sayde vnto her:
Go thy waye. The mayde wente, and called
the childes mother. Then sayde Pharaos
doughter vnto her: Take this childe, and nurse
it for me, I wyll geue þe; thy rewarde. The
woman toke the childe, and nursed it.
And whan the childe was growne, she
brought it vnto Pharaos doughter, and it
became hir sonne, and she called him Moses.
For she sayde: I toke him out of the water.
Vpon a tyme whan Moses was greate,
he wente forth vnto his brethren, and loked
vpon their burthens, and sawe, that an Egipci&abar;
smote one of his brethren þe; Hebrues.
And he loked rounde aboute him: and whan
he sawe that there was no man, he slew the
Egipcian, and buried him in the sonde.
The next daye he wente forth also,
and sawe two men of the Hebrues stryuynge
-- --
together, and sayde to the vngodly:
Wherfore smytest thou thy neghboure? But
he sayde: note Who made the a ruler or iudge
ouer vs? Wilt thou slaye me also, as thou slewest
the Egipcian?
C Th&ebar; was Moses afrayed,
and sayde: How is this knowne? And
Pharao herde of it, and sought for Moses,
to slaye him. But Moses fled from Pharao,
and kepte him in the lande of Madian, and
sat him downe by a wells syde.
The prest Madian had seuen doughters,
which came to drawe water, and fylled the
troughes, to geue their fathers shepe to drinke.
Then came the shepherdes, and droue th&ebar;
awaye. But Moses gat him vp, and helped
them, and gaue their shepe to drynke.
And whan they came to Reguel their father,
he saide: How came ye so soone to daie?
They sayde: A man of Egipte delyuered vs
from þe; shepherdes, and drew vnto vs, and
gaue the shepe to drynke. He sayde vnto his
doughters. Where is he? Wherfore let ye
the man go, that ye called him not to eate
with vs?
D And Moses was content to dwell with
the man. And he gaue Moses his doughter
Zipora, which bare him a sonne, and he note called
him Gerson, for he sayde: I am become a
straunger in a straunge lande. And she bare
him yet a sonne, whom he called Elieser, and
sayde: The God of my father is my helper,
and hath delyuered me from Pharaos h&abar;de.
But after this in processe of tyme, the kynge
of Egipte dyed. And the childr&ebar; of Israel
sighed ouer their laboure, and cried. And
their crye ouer their labo&highr;, came before God.
And God herde their c&obar;playnte, ∧ rem&ebar;bred
his couenaunt note with Abraham Isaac and
Iacob. And God loked vpon the childr&ebar; of
Israel, and God knew it.
