Ex 2 (King James)

¹ And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
² And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
³ And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
⁴ And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
⁵ And the daughter of Pharaoh 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 Hebrews' children.
⁷ Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
⁸ And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
⁹ And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the women took the child, and nursed it.
¹⁰ And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
¹¹ And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
¹² And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
¹³ And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
¹⁴ And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
¹⁵ Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
¹⁶ Now the priest of Midian 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 Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
¹⁸ And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
¹⁹ And they said, An 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 ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
²¹ And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
²² And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: 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 Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
²⁴ And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
²⁵ And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.

Ex 2 (Vulgate)

¹ Egressus est post hæc vir de domo Levi : et accepit uxorem stirpis suæ.
² Quæ concepit, et peperit filium : et videns eum elegantem, abscondit tribus mensibus.
³ Cumque jam celare non posset, sumpsit fiscellam scirpeam, et linivit eam bitumine ac pice : posuitque intus infantulum, et exposuit eum in carecto ripæ fluminis,
⁴ stante procul sorore ejus, et considerante eventum rei.
⁵ Ecce autem descendebat filia Pharaonis ut lavaretur in flumine : et puellæ ejus gradiebantur per crepidinem alvei. Quæ cum vidisset fiscellam in papyrione, misit unam e famulabus suis : et allatam
⁶ aperiens, cernensque in ea parvulum vagientem, miserta ejus, ait : De infantibus Hebræorum est hic.
⁷ Cui soror pueri : Vis, inquit, ut vadam, et vocem tibi mulierem hebræam, quæ nutrire possit infantulum ?
⁸ Respondit : Vade. Perrexit puella et vocavit matrem suam.
⁹ Ad quam locuta filia Pharaonis : Accipe, ait, puerum istum, et nutri mihi : ego dabo tibi mercedem tuam. Suscepit mulier, et nutrivit puerum : adultumque tradidit filiæ Pharaonis.
¹⁰ Quem illa adoptavit in locum filii, vocavitque nomen ejus Moyses, dicens : Quia de aqua tuli eum.
¹¹ In diebus illis postquam creverat Moyses, egressus est ad fratres suos : viditque afflictionem eorum, et virum ægyptium percutientem quemdam de Hebræis fratribus suis.
¹² Cumque circumspexisset huc atque illuc, et nullum adesse vidisset, percussum Ægyptium abscondit sabulo.
¹³ Et egressus die altero conspexit duos Hebræos rixantes : dixitque ei qui faciebat injuriam : Quare percutis proximum tuum ?
¹⁴ Qui respondit : Quis te constituit principem et judicem super nos ? num occidere me tu vis, sicut heri occidisti Ægyptium ? Timuit Moyses, et ait : Quomodo palam factum est verbum istud ?
¹⁵ Audivitque Pharao sermonem hunc, et quærebat occidere Moysen : qui fugiens de conspectu ejus, moratus est in terra Madian, et sedit juxta puteum.
¹⁶ Erant autem sacerdoti Madian septem filiæ, quæ venerunt ad hauriendam aquam : et impletis canalibus adaquare cupiebant greges patris sui.
¹⁷ Supervenere pastores, et ejecerunt eas : surrexitque Moyses, et defensis puellis, adaquavit oves earum.
¹⁸ Quæ cum revertissent ad Raguel patrem suum, dixit ad eas : Cur velocius venistis solito ?
¹⁹ Responderunt : Vir ægyptius liberavit nos de manu pastorum : insuper et hausit aquam nobiscum, potumque dedit ovibus.
²⁰ At ille : Ubi est ? inquit : quare dimisistis hominem ? vocate eum ut comedat panem.
²¹ Juravit ergo Moyses quod habitaret cum eo. Accepitque Sephoram filiam ejus uxorem :
²² quæ peperit ei filium, quem vocavit Gersam, dicens : Advena fui in terra aliena. Alterum vero peperit, quem vocavit Eliezer, dicens : Deus enim patris mei adjutor meus eripuit me de manu Pharaonis.
²³ Post multum vero temporis mortuus est rex Ægypti : et ingemiscentes filii Israël, propter opera vociferati sunt : ascenditque clamor eorum ad Deum ab operibus.
²⁴ Et audivit gemitum eorum, ac recordatus est fœderis quod pepigit cum Abraham, Isaac et Jacob.
²⁵ Et respexit Dominus filios Israël et cognovit eos.
