king

Now there arose vp a new King ouer Egypt, which knew not Ioseph.

¶ And the King of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwiues, (of which the name of one was Shiphrah, and the name of t other Puah.)

But the midwiues feared God, and did not as the King of Egypt commanded them, but saued the men children aliue.

And the King of Egypt called for the midwiues, & said vnto them, Why haue ye done this thing, and haue saued the men children aliue?

¶ And it came to passe in processe 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 vp vnto God, by reason of the bondage.

And they shall hearken to thy voyce: and thou shalt come, thou and the Elders of Israel vnto the King of Egypt, and you shall say vnto him, The LORD God of the Hebrewes hath met with vs: and now let vs goe, (wee beseech thee) three dayes iourney into the wildernes, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.

¶ And I am sure that the King of Egypt will not let you goe, no not by a mightie hand.

1611 marginal noteOr, but by strong hand.

And the King of Egypt said vnto them, Wherfore doe ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their workes? get you vnto your burdens.

Goe in, speake vnto Pharaoh King of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel goe out of his land.

And the LORD spake vnto Moses and vnto Aaron, & gaue them a charge vnto the children of Israel, and vnto Pharaoh King of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
