Pharaoh

And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao.

The Madianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Putiphar, an eunuch of Pharao, captain of the soldiers.

He asked them, saying: Why is your countenance sadder today than usual?

And the cup of Pharao was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into the cup which I held, and I gave the cup to Pharao.

After which Pharao will remember thy service, and will restore thee to thy former place: and thou shalt present him the cup according to thy office, as before thou was wont to do.

The third day after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker.

And he restored the one to his place, to present him the cup:

Out of which he gathered up all the money for the corn which they bought, and brought it in to the king's treasure.

So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt, every man selling his possessions, because of the greatness of the famine. And he brought it into Pharao's hands:

And they answered: our life is in thy hand; only let my lord look favourably upon us, and we will gladly serve the king.

From that time unto this day, in the whole land of Egypt, the fifth part is paid to the kings, and it is become as a law, except the land of the priests, which was free from this covenant.

And the child's sister said to her: Shall I go, and call to thee a Hebrew woman, to nurse the babe?

She answered: Go. The maid went and called her mother.

And Pharao's daughter said to her: Take this child, and nurse him for me: I will give thee thy wages. The woman took and nursed the child: and when he was grown up, she delivered him to Pharao's daughter.

And she adopted him for a son, and called him Moses, saying: Because I took him out of the water.

But come, and I will send thee to Pharao, that thou mayst bring forth my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.

And Moses said to God: Who am I that I should go to Pharao, and should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

And the Lord said to him as he was returning into Egypt: See that thou do all the wonders before Pharao, which I have put in thy hand: I shall harden his heart, and he will not let the people go.

And thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Israel is my son, my firstborn.

After these things, Moses and Aaron went in, and said to Pharao: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Let my people go, that they may sacrifice to me in the desert.

But he answered: Who is the Lord, that I should hear his voice, and let Israel go? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go.

And Pharao said: The people of the land are numerous; you see that the multitude is increased; how much more if you give them rest from their works?

Therefore he commanded the same day the overseers of the works, and the task-masters of the people, saying:

And the overseers of the works, and the taskmasters, went out and said to the people: Thus saith Pharao: I allow you no straw;

And they that were over the works of the children of Israel, were scourged by Pharao's taskmasters, saying: Why have you not made up the task of bricks, both yesterday and to day, as before?
