2:1And there went a man out of the house of Leui, and toke to wyfe a daughter of Leui
2:2And the wyfe conceaued and bare a sonne: and when she sawe that it was a proper childe, she hyd him three monethes
2:3And when she coulde no longer hyde hym, she toke a basket made of bull russhes, and dawbed it with slyme and pitche, and layed the chylde therein, and put it in the flagges by the riuers brink
2:4And his sister stoode a farre of, to wit what woulde come of it
2:5And the daughter of Pharao came downe to wasshe her selfe in the ryuer, and her maydens walked along by the ryuers syde: And when she sawe the basket among the flagges, she sent her mayde to fetch it
2:6And when she had opened it, she sawe it was a chylde: and beholde, the babe wept. And she had compassion on it, and sayde: it is one of the Hebrues chyldren
2:7Then sayde his sister to Pharaos daughter: shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrues women, to nurse thee the chylde
2:8Pharaos daughter aunswered her: go. And the mayde ranne and called the chyldes mother
2:9To whom Pharaos daughter sayde: Take this chylde away, and nurse it for me, and I wyll rewarde thee. And the woman toke the chylde, & nursed it vp
2:10The chylde grewe, and she brought it vnto Pharaos daughter, and it was made her sonne. And she called ye name of it Moyses: because sayde she I toke hym out of the water
2:11And in those dayes, when Moyses was waxed great, he went out vnto his brethren, & loked on their burdens, and spyed an Egyptian smytyng an Hebrue which was one of his brethren
2:12And he loked rounde about, and when he sawe no man by, he slewe the Egyptian, and hyd hym in the sande
2:13And when he was gone out another day, beholde, two men of the Hebrues stroue together: And he saide vnto him that dyd the wrong, Wherefore smytest thou thy felowe
2:14He aunswered: Who made thee a man of aucthoritie and a iudge ouer vs? intendest thou to kyll me, as thou kylledst the Egyptian? And Moyses feared and sayde: Of a suretie this thyng is knowen
2:15And Pharao heard of it, and went about to slaye Moyses. And Moyses fleyng from the face of Pharao, dwelt in the lande of Madian: and he sate downe by the welles syde
2:16The priest of Madian had vij. daughters, which came and drewe water and filled the troughes for to water their fathers sheepe
2:17And the shepheardes came and droue them away: but Moyses stoode vp and helped them, and watred their sheepe
2:18And when they came to Raguel their father, he sayde: Howe came it to passe that ye are come so soone to day
2:19And they aunswered: A man of Egypt deliuered vs from the handes of the shepheardes, and so drewe vs water, and watered the sheepe
2:20He saide vnto his daughters: & where is he? why haue ye so left the man? Call hym, that he may eate bread
2:21And Moyses was content to dwell with the man: & he gaue Moyses Sephora his daughter
2:22Which bare him a sonne, and he called his name Gershom: For he saide, I haue ben a straunger in a straunge land
2:23And in processe of tyme the kyng of Egypt dyed, and the chyldren of Israel syghed by the reason of bondage, and cryed
2:24And their complaynt came vp vnto God from the bondage: and God heard their mone, and God remembred his couenaunt with Abraham, Isahac, and Iacob
2:25And God loked vpon the chyldren of Israel, and God had respecte vnto them
Bishops Bible 1568

Bishops Bible 1568

The Bishops' Bible was produced under the authority of the established Church of England in 1568. It was substantially revised in 1572, and the 1602 edition was prescribed as the base text for the King James Bible completed in 1611. The thorough Calvinism of the Geneva Bible offended the Church of England, to which almost all of its bishops subscribed. They associated Calvinism with Presbyterianism, which sought to replace government of the church by bishops with government by lay elders. However, they were aware that the Great Bible of 1539 , which was the only version then legally authorized for use in Anglican worship, was severely deficient, in that much of the Old Testament and Apocrypha was translated from the Latin Vulgate, rather than from the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. In an attempt to replace the objectionable Geneva translation, they circulated one of their own, which became known as the Bishops' Bible.
