### Blessing during Bondage in Egypt
[[#Verse 01.]] These are the names of the sons of Israel who entered Egypt—each man with his household entered with Jacob:Â
[[#Verse 02.]]Â Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,Â
[[#Verse 03.]]Â Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
[[#Verse 04.]]Â Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
[[#Verse 05.]] All the people who were directly descended from Jacob numbered seventy. But Joseph was already in Egypt,Â
[[#Verse 06.]] and in time Joseph and his brothers and all that generation died.Â
[[#Verse 07.]] The Israelites, however, were fruitful, increased greatly, multiplied, and became extremely strong, so that the land was filled with them.
[[#Verse 08.]] Then a new king, who did not know about Joseph, came to power over Egypt.Â
[[#Verse 09.]] He said to his people, “Look at the Israelite people, more numerous and stronger than we are!Â
[[#Verse 10.]] Come, let’s deal wisely with them. Otherwise they will continue to multiply, and if a war breaks out, they will ally themselves with our enemies and fight against us and leave the country.”
[[#Verse 11.]] So they put foremen over the Israelites to oppress them with hard labor. As a result they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh.Â
[[#Verse 12.]] But the more the Egyptians oppressed them, the more they multiplied and spread. As a result the Egyptians loathed the Israelites,Â
[[#Verse 13.]] and they made the Israelites serve rigorously.Â
[[#Verse 14.]] They made their lives bitter by hard service with mortar and bricks and by all kinds of service in the fields. Every kind of service the Israelites were required to give was rigorous.
[[#Verse 15.]] The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah,Â
[[#Verse 16.]] “When you assist the Hebrew women in childbirth, observe at the delivery: If it is a son, kill him, but if it is a daughter, she may live.”Â
[[#Verse 17.]] But the midwives feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them; they let the boys live.
[[#Verse 18.]] Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this and let the boys live?”Â
[[#Verse 19.]] The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women—for the Hebrew women are vigorous; they give birth before the midwife gets to them!”
[[#Verse 20.]] So God treated the midwives well, and the people multiplied and became very strong.Â
[[#Verse 21.]] And because the midwives feared God, he made households for them.
[[#Verse 22.]] Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, “All sons that are born you must throw into the river, but all daughters you may let live.”
