2. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength
of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that
you may be able to stand against the schemes of
the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and
blood, but against the rulers, against the
authorities, against the cosmic powers over this
present darkness, against the spiritual forces of
evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the
whole armor of God, that you may be able to
withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to
stand firm.

3. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of
truth, and having put on the breastplate of
righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having
put on the readiness given by the gospel of
peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of
faith, with which you can extinguish all the
flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet
of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is
the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit,
with all prayer and supplication.
Ephesians 6:10-18 (ESV)

4. By faith Moses, when he was born, was
hidden for three months by his parents,
because they saw that the child was beautiful,
and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.
Hebrews 11:23 (ESV)

5. Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who
did not know Joseph. And he said to his
people, "Behold, the people of Israel are too
many and too mighty for us. Come, let us deal
shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and, if
war breaks out, they join our enemies and
fight against us and escape from the land."
Therefore they set taskmasters over them to
afflict them with heavy burdens. They built for
Pharaoh store cities, Pithom and Raamses.

6. But the more they were oppressed, the more
they multiplied and the more they spread
abroad. And the Egyptians were in dread of
the people of Israel. So they ruthlessly made
the people of Israel work as slaves and made
their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar
and brick, and in all kinds of work in the field.
In all their work they ruthlessly made them
work as slaves.

7. Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew
midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah
and the other Puah, "When you serve as
midwife to the Hebrew women and see them
on the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill
him, but if it is a daughter, she shall live." But
the midwives feared God and did not do as
the king of Egypt commanded them, but let
the male children live.

8. So the king of Egypt called the midwives and
said to them, "Why have you done this, and
let the male children live?" The midwives said
to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are
not like the Egyptian women, for they are
vigorous and give birth before the midwife
comes to them."

9. So God dealt well with the midwives. And the
people multiplied and grew very strong. And
because the midwives feared God, he gave
them families. Then Pharaoh commanded all
his people, "Every son that is born to the
Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile, but you
shall let every daughter live.“
Exodus 1:8-22 (ESV)

10. Now a man from the house of Levi went and
took as his wife a Levite woman. The woman
conceived and bore a son, and when she saw
that he was a fine child, she hid him three
months. When she could hide him no longer,
she took for him a basket made of bulrushes
and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. She put
the child in it and placed it among the reeds
by the river bank. And his sister stood at a
distance to know what would be done to him.

11. Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to
bathe at the river, while her young women
walked beside the river. She saw the basket
among the reeds and sent her servant
woman, and she took it. When she opened it,
she saw the child, and behold, the baby was
crying. She took pity on him and said, "This is
one of the Hebrews’ children." Then his sister
said to Pharaoh’s daughter, "Shall I go and call
you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse
the child for you?"

12. And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, "Go." So
the girl went and called the child’s mother.
And 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. When the child grew
up, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter,
and he became her son. She named him
Moses, "Because," she said, "I drew him out of
the water."
Exodus 2:1-10 (ESV)

13. And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant
to your servants to continue to speak your word
with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand
to heal, and signs and wonders are performed
through the name of your holy servant Jesus."
And when they had prayed, the place in which
they were gathered together was shaken, and
they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and
continued to speak the word of God with
boldness.
Acts 4:29-31 (ESV)

14. By faith Moses, when he was grown up,
refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s
daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated
with the people of God than to enjoy the
fleeting pleasures of sin. He considered the
reproach of Christ greater wealth than the
treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the
reward. By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid
of the anger of the king, for he endured as
seeing him who is invisible.
Hebrews 11:24-27 (ESV)

15. One day, when Moses had grown up, he went
out to his people and looked on their burdens,
and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one
of his people. He looked this way and that,
and seeing no one, he struck down the
Egyptian and hid him in the sand. When he
went out the next day, behold, two Hebrews
were struggling together. And he said to the
man in the wrong, "Why do you strike your
companion?"

16. By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled
the blood, so that the Destroyer of the
firstborn might not touch them.
By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on
dry land, but the Egyptians, when they
attempted to do the same, were drowned.
Hebrews 11:28-29 (ESV)

17. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary
the devil prowls around like a roaring lion,
seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in
your faith, knowing that the same kinds of
suffering are being experienced by your
brotherhood throughout the world.
1 Peter 5:8-9 (ESV)

18. They said to Moses, "Is it because there are no
graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to
die in the wilderness? What have you done to
us in bringing us out of Egypt? Is not this what
we said to you in Egypt: 'Leave us alone that
we may serve the Egyptians'? For it would
have been better for us to serve the Egyptians
than to die in the wilderness."
Exodus 14:11-12 (ESV)

19. And Moses said to the people, "Fear not,
stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD,
which he will work for you today. For the
Egyptians whom you see today, you shall
never see again. The LORD will fight for you,
and you have only to be silent."
Exodus 14:13-14 (ESV)

20. Then Moses stretched out his hand over the
sea, and the LORD drove the sea back by a
strong east wind all night and made the sea
dry land, and the waters were divided. And
the people of Israel went into the midst of the
sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to
them on their right hand and on their left. The
Egyptians pursued and went in after them into
the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his
chariots, and his horsemen.

21. And in the morning watch the LORD in the
pillar of fire and of cloud looked down on the
Egyptian forces and threw the Egyptian forces
into a panic, 25clogging their chariot wheels so
that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians
said, "Let us flee from before Israel, for the
LORD fights for them against the Egyptians."
Exodus 14:21-25 (ESV)

22. Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out
your hand over the sea, that the water may
come back upon the Egyptians, upon their
chariots, and upon their horsemen." So Moses
stretched out his hand over the sea, and the
sea returned to its normal course when the
morning appeared. And as the Egyptians fled
into it, the LORD threw the Egyptians into the
midst of the sea.

23. The waters returned and covered the chariots
and the horsemen; of all the host of Pharaoh
that had followed them into the sea, not one
of them remained. But the people of Israel
walked on dry ground through the sea, the
waters being a wall to them on their right
hand and on their left.
Exodus 14:26-29 (ESV)
