17But when the time was near for putting into effect the undertaking which God had given to Abraham, the people were increasing in Egypt,
18Till another king came to power, who had no knowledge of Joseph.
19He, having evil designs against our nation, was cruel to our fathers, and they were forced to put out their young children, so that they might not go on living.
20At which time Moses came to birth, and he was very beautiful; and he was kept for three months in his father's house:
21And when he was put out, Pharaoh's daughter took him and kept him as her son.
22And Moses was trained in all the wisdom of Egypt, and was great in his words and works.
23But when he was almost forty years old, it came into his heart to go and see his brothers, the children of Israel.
