5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt [already].KJVSD — Exodus 1:5

7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.KJVSD — Exodus 1:7

8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. KJVSD — Exodus 1:8

9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel [are] more and mightier than we:KJVSD — Exodus 1:9

10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and [so] get them up out of the land. KJVSD — Exodus 1:10

11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses. KJVSD — Exodus 1:11

12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. KJVSD — Exodus 1:12

13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour: KJVSD — Exodus 1:13

14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, [was] with rigour. KJVSD — Exodus 1:14

15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one [was] Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: KJVSD — Exodus 1:15

16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see [them] upon the stools; if it [be] a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it [be] a daughter, then she shall live. KJVSD — Exodus 1:16

17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. KJVSD — Exodus 1:17

18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive? KJVSD — Exodus 1:18

19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women [are] not as the Egyptian women; for they [are] lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.KJVSD — Exodus 1:19

20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. KJVSD — Exodus 1:20

21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. KJVSD — Exodus 1:21

22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive. KJVSD — Exodus 1:22
