{"product_id":"2940148922971","title":"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 02: Exodus","description":"THE BOOK OF EXODUS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Second Book of Moses is called EXODUS, from the Greek word EXODOS,\u003cbr\u003ewhich signifies going out: because it contains the history of the going\u003cbr\u003eout of the children of Israel out of Egypt. The Hebrews, from the words\u003cbr\u003ewith which it begins, call it VEELLE SEMOTH: These are the names. It\u003cbr\u003econtains transactions for 145 years; that is, from the death of Joseph\u003cbr\u003eto the erecting of the tabernacle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExodus Chapter 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Israelites are multiplied in Egypt. They are oppressed by a new\u003cbr\u003eking, who commandeth all their male children to be killed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:1. These are the names of the children of Israel, that went into Egypt\u003cbr\u003ewith Jacob: they went in every man with his household:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:2. Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Juda,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:3. Issachar, Zabulon, and Benjamin,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:4. Dan, and Nephthali, Gad and Aser.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:5. And all the souls that came out of Jacob's thigh, were seventy: but\u003cbr\u003eJoseph was in Egypt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:6. After he was dead, and all his brethren, and all that generation,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:7. The children of Israel increased, and sprung up into multitudes,\u003cbr\u003eand growing exceedingly strong they filled the land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:8. In the mean time there arose a new king over Egypt, that knew not\u003cbr\u003eJoseph:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:9. And he said to his people: Behold the people of the children of\u003cbr\u003eIsrael are numerous and stronger than we.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:10. Come let us wisely oppress them, lest they multiply: and if any\u003cbr\u003ewar shall rise against us, join with our enemies, and having overcome\u003cbr\u003eus, depart out of the land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:11. Therefore he set over them masters of the works, to afflict them\u003cbr\u003ewith burdens: and they built for Pharao cities of tabernacles, Phithom,\u003cbr\u003eand Ramesses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf tabernacles... Or, of storehouses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:12. But the more they oppressed them, the more they were multiplied\u003cbr\u003eand increased.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:13. And the Egyptians hated the children of Israel, and afflicted them\u003cbr\u003eand mocked them:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:14. And they made their life bitter with hard works in clay and brick,\u003cbr\u003eand with all manner of service, wherewith they were overcharged in the\u003cbr\u003eworks of the earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:15. And the king of Egypt spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews: of\u003cbr\u003ewhom one was called Sephora, the other Phua,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:16. Commanding them: When you shall do the office of midwives to the\u003cbr\u003eHebrew women, and the time of delivery is come: if it be a man child,\u003cbr\u003ekill it: if a woman, keep it alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:17. But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt\u003cbr\u003ehad commanded, but saved the men children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:18: And the king called for them and said: What is it that you meant\u003cbr\u003eto do, that you would save the men children?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:19. They answered: The Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women: for\u003cbr\u003ethey themselves are skilful in the office of a midwife; and they are\u003cbr\u003edelivered before we come to them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:20. Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people\u003cbr\u003emultiplied and grew exceedingly strong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:21. And because the midwives feared God, he built them houses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause the midwives feared God, etc... The midwives were rewarded, not\u003cbr\u003efor their lie, which was a venial sin; but for their fear of God, and\u003cbr\u003etheir humanity: but this reward was only temporal, in building them\u003cbr\u003ehouses, that is, in establishing and enriching their families.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:22. Pharao therefore charged all his people, saying: Whatsoever shall\u003cbr\u003ebe born of the male sex, ye shall cast into the river: whatsoever of the\u003cbr\u003efemale, ye shall save alive.","brand":"Lost Leaf Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111586414832,"sku":"2940148922971","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148922971_p0.jpg?v=1763716203","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148922971","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
