Hebrews 11:23

²²Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “You shall cast every son who is born into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.”

¹⁶and he said, “When you perform the duty of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them on the birth stool, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.”

⁶So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

²⁸Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

²The woman conceived and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months. ³When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank. ⁴His sister stood far off, to see what would be done to him. ⁵Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her servant to get it. ⁶She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”

⁷Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?”

⁸Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” The young woman went and called the child’s mother.

⁹Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” The woman took the child, and nursed it.

¹⁰The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses,^[+] and said, “Because I drew him out of the water.”

¹⁴Don’t be afraid, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel. I will help you,” says the LORD. “Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

²⁰At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome to God. He was nourished three months in his father’s house.

⁶The LORD is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

⁴“I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. ⁵But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna.^[+] Yes, I tell you, fear him.

¹²“Don’t call a conspiracy all that this people call a conspiracy. Don’t fear their threats or be terrorized. ¹³The LORD of Armies is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
