And it came to pass in process of time, that the King of Egypt died, and there arose up a new King over Egypt, Who knew not Joseph. And he said unto his people, Be. hold, the people of the Children of Israel are more and mightier than we: come now, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass that when there talleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against and so get them up out of the land.— Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens, and they made their lives bitter with hard bondage. And the Children of Israel sighed by reason of the bonuage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God, by reason ot their bondage. And God heard their groaning’, and God remembered his Covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacov. And God looked upon the Children of Israel, and God had respect unto them. And the Lord spake uate Moses and unto Aaron Behold, the cry of the Children of Israel is come unto me: and | haye also seen the oppression wherewith th» Egy p- tians oppress them, and I have remembered my Covenant. Come now, thereiore, and { wiil send ye unto Pharaoh, that ye may bring iorth my people, the Children of Israel, out of Egypt. Aud | am sure that the King of Egypt will not let you go out of his land, no, not by a mighty hand ; and | will stretch out my hand and smite Bgypt with all my wonders, which | willdo in the midst thereof : and atier thai he will let you go. And ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, wuo briageth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did up- on the Egyptians; and the people feared the Lord, and believed tie Lord and nis servant Moses. THe Seconp Boox or Mosxs, catLep Exonus.
