   Day 30, 30 January 2026   
      
   1) Exodus 1, Exodus 2, 1 Chronicles 6:1-3, Exodus 3   
      
   EXODUS 1   
   Israel Oppressed   
      
   1 (Ge 46:8-26; 35:23-26) Now these are the names of the sons of Israel,   
   which came into Egypt (each man and his household came with Jacob):   
   2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;   
   3 Issachar, Zeb-ulun, and Benjamin;   
   4 Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.   
   5 (Ge 46:26-27; Dt 10:22) All the people who came from the seed of Jacob   
   were seventy people, but Joseph was in Egypt already.   
   6 (Ge 50:26) Joseph died, as did all his brothers, and all that generation.   
   7 (Ge 46:3; Dt 26:5) Nevertheless, the sons of Israel were fruitful, and   
   increased abundantly, and multiplied, and became exceedingly mighty,   
   Or numerous; (also in v. 20.) so that the land was filled with them.   
   8 (Ac 7:18) Now there rose up a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.   
   9 (Ps 105:24-25) He said to his people,   
   "Surely, the people of the sons of Israel are more numerous   
   and powerful than we.   
   10 (Ac 7:19; Ps 83:3-4) Come, let us deal wisely with them,   
   lest they multiply, and it come to pass that when any war breaks out,   
   they also join our enemies, and fight against us, and escape from the land."   
   (Populism)   
   11 (Ge 15:13; 47:11) Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them   
   with their labor. They built for Pharaoh storage cities: Pithom and Rameses.   
   12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew   
    so that as a result they abhorred the sons of Israel.   
   13 The Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor,   
   14 (Ex 2:23; 6:9) and they made their lives bitter with hard service   
   - in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field,   
   all their service in which they made them serve was with rigor.   
   15 The king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives,   
    of which the name of one was Shiphrah,   
   and the name of the other Puah,   
   16 and he said, "When you perform the office of a midwife to the Hebrew   
    women and see them on the stools, if it is a son, then you must kill him,   
    but if it is a daughter, then she may live."   
   17 (Ac 5:29; Pr 16:6; Da 3:16-18) However, the midwives feared God,   
   and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but kept the male   
    children alive. 18 The king of Egypt called for the midwives   
   and said to them, "Why have you done this thing   
   and preserved the male children's lives?"   
   19 The midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women   
   are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous   
   and give birth before the midwives come to them."   
   20 (Ex 1:12; Pr 11:18) Therefore God dealt well with the midwives,   
   and the people multiplied and grew very mighty.   
   21 (1Sa 2:35; 1Ki 11:38) So it happened that because the midwives feared God,   
   He gave them families.   
   22 (Ac 7:19) Pharaoh charged all his people, saying,   
   "You must cast every son that is born into the river,   
   and you must preserve every daughter's life."   
      
   Exodus 1   
   [1] Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into   
   Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.   
   [2] Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,   
   [3] Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,   
   [4] Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.   
   [5] And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy   
   souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.   
   [6] And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.   
   [7] And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and   
   multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.   
   [8] Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.   
   [9] And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of   
   Israel are more and mightier than we:   
   [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.   
   [11] Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their   
   burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.   
   [12] But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew.   
   And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.   
   [13] And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:   
   [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.   
   [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:   
   [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.   
   [17] But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt   
   commanded them, but saved the men children alive.   
   [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?   
   [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.   
   [20] Therefore God dealt well with the midwives:   
   and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.   
   [21] And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them   
   houses.   
   [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.   
      
   EXODUS 2   
   The Birth of Moses   
   1 (Nu 26:59) Now a man of the house of Levi went   
   and married a daughter of Levi.   
   2 (Ac 7:20; Heb 11:23) And the woman conceived and bore a son,   
   and when she saw him, that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months.   
   3 (Isa 18:2) When she could no longer hide him, she took for him a container   
   made of bulrushes and daubed it with tar and with pitch.   
   She then put the child in it and set it in the reeds by the river's bank.   
   4 (Ex 15:20; Nu 26:59) Then his sister stood afar off so that   
   she might know what would happen to him.   
   5 The daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river   
   while her maidens walked along by the river's side,   
   and when she saw the container among the reeds, she sent her maid,   
   and she retrieved it. 6 When she opened it, she saw the child. He was crying.   
   She had compassion on him and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."   
   7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and call for you   
    a nursing woman of the Hebrew women so that she may nurse the child for you?"   
   8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." So the young girl went   
   and called the child's mother. 9 Pharaoh's daughter said to her,   
   "Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages."   
    So the woman took the child and nursed him.
