The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and raised up the people during the sojourn in the land of Egypt. And with a lofty arm he brought them out of it.
And God spoke thus: His seed would be alien in a foreign land, and they would enslave and mistreat them four hundred years.
And God dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they got possessions in it, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
