2:14He answered: who made the a man of auctoryte to iudge vs? Speakest thou to kyll me, as thou kylledst the Egyptian? And Moses feared & sayde: of a suertie thys thynge is knowne:
2:15And Pharao herde of it, and went aboute to slee Moses: And Moses flyenge from the face of Pharao, dwelt in the lande of Midian, and he sat doune by a welles syde.
2:16The preast of Midian had .vij. daughters which came and drewe water, and fylled the troughes, for to water their fathers shepe.
2:17And the shepardes came & droue them awaye: but Moses stode vp and helped them, and watered their shepe:
2:18And when they came to Raguel their father, he sayde: howe happeneth it that ye are come so soone to daye?
2:19And they answered: a man of Egypte delyuered vs from the hande of the shepardes, and so drewe vs water, & watered the shepe.
2:20He sayde vnto hys daughters. And wher is he? why haue ye so lefte the man? Call hym that he maye eate bread.
2:21And Moses was content to dwell with the man. And he gaue Moses Zephora hys daughter,
2:22which whan she bare a sonne. called him Gerson: for he sayde: I haue bene a straunger in a straunge lande.
2:23And it chaunced in processe of tyme, that the kynge of Egypte dyed, and the chyldren of Israel syghed by the reason of bondage, and cryed.

2:25And God loked vpon the chyldren of Israel, and God had respecte vnto them.
The Great Bible 1539

The Great Bible 1539

The Great Bible of 1539 was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, authorized by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General. In 1538, Cromwell directed the clergy to provide "one book of the bible of the largest volume in English, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church that ye have care of, whereas your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it."
