17   But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
καθως δε ηγγιζεν ο χρονος της επαγγελιας ης ωμοσεν ο θεος τω αβρααμ ηυξησεν ο λαος και επληθυνθη εν αιγυπτω

18   Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
αχρις ου ανεστη βασιλευς ετερος ος ουκ ηδει τον ιωσηφ

19   The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.
ουτος κατασοφισαμενος το γενος ημων εκακωσεν τους πατερας ημων του ποιειν εκθετα τα βρεφη αυτων εις το μη ζωογονεισθαι

20   In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months:
εν ω καιρω εγεννηθη μωσης και ην αστειος τω θεω ος ανετραφη μηνας τρεις εν τω οικω του πατρος αυτου

21   And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
εκτεθεντα δε αυτον ανειλετο αυτον η θυγατηρ φαραω και ανεθρεψατο αυτον εαυτη εις υιον

22   And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
και επαιδευθη μωσης παση σοφια αιγυπτιων ην δε δυνατος εν λογοις και εν εργοις

23   And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
ως δε επληρουτο αυτω τεσσαρακονταετης χρονος ανεβη επι την καρδιαν αυτου επισκεψασθαι τους αδελφους αυτου τους υιους ισραηλ

24   And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
και ιδων τινα αδικουμενον ημυνατο και εποιησεν εκδικησιν τω καταπονουμενω παταξας τον αιγυπτιον

25   For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
ενομιζεν δε συνιεναι τους αδελφους αυτου οτι ο θεος δια χειρος αυτου διδωσιν αυτοις σωτηριαν οι δε ου συνηκαν
