17 Mas como se acercaba el tiempo de la promesa, la cual Dios había jurado á Abraham, el pueblo creció y multiplicóse en Egipto,

18 Hasta que se levantó otro rey en Egipto que no conocía á José.

19 Este, usando de astucia con nuestro linaje, maltrató á nuestros padres, á fin de que pusiesen á peligro [de muerte] sus niños, para que cesase la generación.

20 En aquel mismo tiempo nació Moisés, y fué agradable á Dios: y fué criado tres meses en casa de su padre.

21 Mas siendo puesto al peligro, la hija de Faraón le tomó, y le crió como á hijo suyo.
