Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
110 The Lord said unto my Lord, “Sit Thou at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool.”
2 The Lord shall send the rod of Thy strength out of Zion. Rule Thou in the midst of Thine enemies!
3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of Thy power; in the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, Thou hast the dew of Thy youth.
4 The Lord hath sworn and will not repent: “Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord at Thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of His wrath.
6 He shall judge among the heathen, He shall fill the places with dead bodies, He shall wound the heads over many countries.
7 He shall drink of the brook on the way; therefore shall He lift up the head.
22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, “Every son who is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.”
2 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took for a wife a daughter of Levi.
2 And the woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the reeds by the river’s brink.
4 And his sister stood afar off to learn what would be done to him.
5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river, and her maidens walked along by the riverside; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to fetch it.
6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child; and behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”
7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?”
8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” And the maid went and called the child’s mother.
9 And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, “Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages.” And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses [that is, Drawn out], and she said, “Because I drew him out of the water.”
23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a handsome child; and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.
24 By faith Moses, when he had come of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season,
26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward.
