Chapter 1
1Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
2Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin
4Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
6And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
7And
the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and
multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with
them.
8Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
9And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
10Come
on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to
pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our
enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
11Therefore
they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens.
And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
12But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
13And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
14And
they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in
brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service,
wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
15And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
16And
he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and
see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if
it be a daughter, then she shall live.
17But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
18And
the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have
ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
19And
the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the
Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives
come in unto them.
20Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
21And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
22And
Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall
cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
1And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3And
when she could not 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 flags by the river's brink.
4And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
5And
the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her
maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark
among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
6And
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.
7Then
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?
8And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
9And
Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it
for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the women took the child,
and nursed it.
10And
the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he
became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I
drew him out of the water.
11And
it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out
unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian
smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13And
when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove
together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou
thy fellow?
14And
he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to
kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said,
Surely this thing is known.
15Now
when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled
from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat
down by a well.
16Now
the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water,
and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
17And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
19And
they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds,
and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
20And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
21And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
23And
it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and
the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried,
and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
24And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
1Now
Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian:
and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the
mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2And
the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the
midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire,
and the bush was not consumed.
3And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4And
when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out
of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am
I.
5And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
6Moreover
he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid
to look upon God.
7And
the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are
in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I
know their sorrows;
8And
I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to
bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a
land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and
the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and
the Jebusites.
9Now
therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me:
and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress
them.
10Come
now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest
bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11And
Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I
should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12And
he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto
thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out
of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
13And
Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel,
and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you;
and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14And
God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say
unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
15And
God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of
Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for
ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
16Go,
and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD
God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob,
appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which
is done to you in Egypt:
17And
I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto
the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the
Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with
milk and honey.
18And
they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the
elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The
LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech
thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to
the LORD our God.
19And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
20And
I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I
will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.
21And
I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it
shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty.
22But
every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth
in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye
shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall
spoil the Egyptians.
1And
Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor
hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared
unto thee.
2And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
3And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
4And
the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the
tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in
his hand:
5That
they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto
thee.
6And
the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom.
And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his
hand was leprous as snow.
7And
he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into
his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was
turned again as his other flesh.
8And
it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken
to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the
latter sign.
9And
it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs,
neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the
river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest
out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.
10And
Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither
heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow
of speech, and of a slow tongue.
11And
the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the
dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
12Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
13And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.
14And
the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not
Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also,
behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be
glad in his heart.
15And
thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be
with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
16And
he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he
shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of
God.
17And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.
18And
Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him,
Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt,
and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in
peace.
19And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life.
20And
Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he
returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his
hand.
21And
the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see
that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine
hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
22And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
23And
I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou
refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.
24And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
25Then
Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and
cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.
26So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.
27And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.
28And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
29And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:
30And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
31And
the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the
children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then
they bowed their heads and worshipped.
1And
afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the
LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me
in the wilderness.
2And
Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let
Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
3And
they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray
thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD
our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
4And
the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let
the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
5And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
6And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
7Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
8And
the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay
upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle;
therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
9Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
10And
the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they
spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you
straw.
11Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.
12So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
13And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
14And
the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had
set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not
fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as
heretofore?
15Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
16There
is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick:
and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own
people.
17But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.
18Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
19And
the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil
case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of
your daily task.
20And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
21And
they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have
made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes
of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.
22And
Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, LORD, wherefore hast thou so
evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?
23For
since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this
people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
1Then
the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh:
for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand
shall he drive them out of his land.
2And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:
3And
I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God
Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
4And
I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of
Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
5And
I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the
Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
6Wherefore
say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you
out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of
their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with
great judgments:
7And
I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye
shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from
under the burdens of the Egyptians.
8And
I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to
give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for
an heritage: I am the LORD.
9And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
10And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
11Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
12And
Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel
have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of
uncircumcised lips?
13And
the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto
the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the
children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
14These
be the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of Reuben the firstborn
of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these be the families
of Reuben.
15And
the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar,
and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of
Simeon.
16And
these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations;
Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi were
an hundred thirty and seven years.
17The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families.
18And
the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the
years of the life of Kohath were an hundred thirty and three years.
19And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the families of Levi according to their generations.
20And
Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him
Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were an hundred and
thirty and seven years.
21And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
22And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
23And
Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to
wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
24And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites.
25And
Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife;
and she bare him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the
Levites according to their families.
26These
are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children
of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.
27These
are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the
children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.
28And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt,
29That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
30And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
1And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2Thou
shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak
unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
3And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4But
Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt,
and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out
of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5And
the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine
hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
6And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
7And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
8And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
9When
Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou
shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it
shall become a serpent.
10And
Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had
commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his
servants, and it became a serpent.
11Then
Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians
of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
13And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
14And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
15Get
thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and
thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which
was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
16And
thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto
thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the
wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
17Thus
saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I
will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are
in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18And
the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and
the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
19And
the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch
out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their
rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that
they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the
land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
20And
Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the
rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of
Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were
in the river were turned to blood.
21And
the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the
Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood
throughout all the land of Egypt.
22And
the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's
heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had
said.
23And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
24And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
3And
the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and
come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and
into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine
ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
4And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.
5And
the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand
with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and
cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
6And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
8Then
Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD, that he
may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the
people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.
9And
Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee,
and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee
and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?
10And
he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou
mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.
11And
the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy
servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.
12And
Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD
because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
13And
the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of
the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
14And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
15But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
16And
the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and
smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the
land of Egypt.
17And
they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote
the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the
dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18And
the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but
they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
19Then
the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the
LORD had said.
20And
the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand
before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus
saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
21Else,
if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies
upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy
houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of
flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
22And
I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell,
that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that
I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
23And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.
24And
the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the
house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land
of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.
25And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.
26And
Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the
abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice
the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not
stone us?
27We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.
28And
Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your
God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for
me.
29And
Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the LORD
that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and
from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any
more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.
30And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
31And
the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms
of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there
remained not one.
32And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
1Then
the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith
the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
3Behold,
the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the
horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the
sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.
4And
the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of
Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of
Israel.
5And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
6And
the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt
died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
7And
Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the
Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not
let the people go.
8And
the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes
of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight
of Pharaoh.
9And
it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a
boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all
the land of Egypt.
10And
they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses
sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with
blains upon man, and upon beast.
11And
the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for
the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
12And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
13And
the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand
before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the
Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
14For
I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy
servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none
like me in all the earth.
15For
now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people
with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
16And
in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee
my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
17As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
18Behold,
to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail,
such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until
now.
19Send
therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the
field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field,
and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and
they shall die.
20He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
21And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
22And
the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that
there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast,
and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
23And
Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder
and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained
hail upon the land of Egypt.
24So
there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as
there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a
nation.
25And
the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the
field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field,
and brake every tree of the field.
26Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
27And
Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I
have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are
wicked.
28Intreat
the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings
and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
29And
Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will
spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease,
neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the
earth is the LORD's.
30But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.
31And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
32But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up.
33And
Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands
unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not
poured upon the earth.
34And
when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were
ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
1And
the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his
heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs
before him:
2And
that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son,
what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done
among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.
3And
Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the
LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself
before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
4Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
5And
they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see
the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped,
which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which
groweth for you out of the field:
6And
they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the
houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy
fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth
unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
7And
Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare
unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest
thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
8And
Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them,
Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go?
9And
Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons
and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go;
for we must hold a feast unto the LORD.
10And
he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go,
and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.
11Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
12And
the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt
for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat
every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.
13And
Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD
brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and
when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
14And
the locust went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the
coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such
locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
15For
they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was
darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of
the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green
thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land
of Egypt.
16Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
17Now
therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the
LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
18And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
19And
the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts,
and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all
the coasts of Egypt.
20But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
21And
the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that
there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be
felt.
22And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
23They
saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days:
but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24And
Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let
your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with
you.
25And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
26Our
cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind;
for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with
what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
27But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
28And
Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my
face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
29And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
1And
the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon
Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he
shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.
2Speak
now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his
neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver and jewels
of gold.
3And
the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover
the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of
Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.
4And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
5And
all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born
of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the
maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
6And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
7But
against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue,
against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a
difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
8And
all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves
unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and
after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great
anger.
9And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
10And
Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD
hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of
Israel go out of his land.
1And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,
2This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3Speak
ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of
this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the
house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
4And
if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour
next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every
man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
5Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
6And
ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the
whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the
evening.
7And
they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and
on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
8And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
9Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
10And
ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which
remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11And
thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet,
and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the
LORD's passover.
12For
I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all
the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all
the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
13And
the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and
when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be
upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
14And
this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast
to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an
ordinance for ever.
15Seven
days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put
away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from
the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from
Israel.
16And
in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh
day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall
be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be
done of you.
17And
ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame
day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall
ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
18In
the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall
eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at
even.
19Seven
days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever
eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the
congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
20Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
21Then
Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out
and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
22And
ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the
bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that
is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house
until the morning.
23For
the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth
the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass
over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your
houses to smite you.
24And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
25And
it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will
give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this
service.
26And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
27That
ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who passed
over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the
Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and
worshipped.
28And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
29And
it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in
the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne
unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the
firstborn of cattle.
30And
Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the
Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house
where there was not one dead.
31And
he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you
forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go,
serve the LORD, as ye have said.
32Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
33And
the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them
out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
34And
the people took their dough before it was leavened, their
kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35And
the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they
borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and
raiment:
36And
the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that
they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the
Egyptians.
37And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
38And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
39And
they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out
of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of
Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any
victual.
40Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
41And
it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even
the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went
out from the land of Egypt.
42It
is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from
the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all
the children of Israel in their generations.
43And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
44But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
45A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
46In
one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the
flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
47All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
48And
when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to
the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near
and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no
uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
49One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
50Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
51And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Sanctify
unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the
children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
3And
Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out
from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the
LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be
eaten.
4This day came ye out in the month Abib.
5And
it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the
Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the
Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing
with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
6Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
7Unleavened
bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be
seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy
quarters.
8And
thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of
that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
9And
it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial
between thine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth: for with a
strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
10Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
11And
it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the
Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it
thee,
12That
thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and
every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall
be the LORD's.
13And
every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou
wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the
firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
14And
it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is
this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought
us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
15And
it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD
slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man,
and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that
openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I
redeem.
16And
it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between
thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of
Egypt.
17And
it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them
not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was
near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see
war, and they return to Egypt:
18But
God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red
sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of
Egypt.
19And
Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the
children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall
carry up my bones away hence with you.
20And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
21And
the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them
the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by
day and night:
22He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak
unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before
Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before
it shall ye encamp by the sea.
3For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
4And
I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I
will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians
may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
5And
it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of
Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they
said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
7And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
8And
the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued
after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with
an high hand.
9But
the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of
Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by
the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
10And
when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes,
and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore
afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
11And
they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou
taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus
with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
12Is
not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone,
that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve
the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
13And
Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the
salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the
Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for
ever.
14The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
16But
lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and
divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the
midst of the sea.
17And
I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall
follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his
host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18And
the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me
honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19And
the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and
went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their
face, and stood behind them:
20And
it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and
it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to
these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
21And
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea
to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry
land, and the waters were divided.
22And
the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry
ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on
their left.
23And
the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea,
even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24And
it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the
host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and
troubled the host of the Egyptians,
25And
took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that
the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD
fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26And
the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the
waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon
their horsemen.
27And
Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to
his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against
it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28And
the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and
all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there
remained not so much as one of them.
29But
the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea;
and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their
left.
30Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
31And
Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and
the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant
Moses.
1Then
sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and
spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed
gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2The
LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my
God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will
exalt him.
3The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
4Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
5The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
6Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
7And
in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that
rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them
as stubble.
8And
with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the
floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the
heart of the sea.
9The
enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my
lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall
destroy them.
10Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
13Thou
in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou
hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
14The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestine.
15Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
16Fear
and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they
shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till
the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
17Thou
shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine
inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to
dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which thy hands have established.
18The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
19For
the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen
into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon
them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the
sea.
20And
Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand;
and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
21And
Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed
gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
22So
Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the
wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and
found no water.
23And
when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah,
for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
24And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25And
he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he
had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for
them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
26And
said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God,
and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his
commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these
diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am
the LORD that healeth thee.
27And
they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and
ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
1And
they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the
children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between
Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their
departing out of the land of Egypt.
2And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
3And
the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the
hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots,
and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into
this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
4Then
said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for
you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day,
that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
5And
it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that
which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
6And
Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye
shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
7And
in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he
heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye
murmur against us?
8And
Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening
flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD
heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we?
your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
9And
Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children
of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
10And
it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the
children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold,
the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
11And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
12I
have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them,
saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be
filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
13And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
14And
when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the
wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on
the ground.
15And
when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is
manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is
the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
16This
is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man
according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number
of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
17And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18And
when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing
over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man
according to his eating.
19And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
20Notwithstanding
they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the
morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
21And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
22And
it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much
bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation
came and told Moses.
23And
he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is
the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake
to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over
lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
24And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
25And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
26Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
27And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
28And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
29See,
for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you
on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place,
let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
30So the people rested on the seventh day.
31And
the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like
coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with
honey.
32And
Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer
of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread
wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth
from the land of Egypt.
33And
Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna
therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
34As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35And
the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a
land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of
the land of Canaan.
36Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
1And
all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the
wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of
the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the
people to drink.
2Wherefore
the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may
drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye
tempt the LORD?
3And
the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against
Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of
Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
4And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
5And
the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee
of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river,
take in thine hand, and go.
6Behold,
I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt
smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people
may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
7And
he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the
chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD,
saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
8Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9And
Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with
Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of
God in mine hand.
10So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12But
Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him,
and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on
the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady
until the going down of the sun.
13And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14And
the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and
rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the
remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
15And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:
16For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
1When
Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law, heard of all that
God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the LORD had
brought Israel out of Egypt;
2Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,
3And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
4And
the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he,
was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
5And
Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto
Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:
6And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
7And
Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed
him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the
tent.
8And
Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh
and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had
come upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them.
9And
Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel,
whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
10And
Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the
hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath
delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
11Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
12And
Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for
God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with
Moses' father in law before God.
13And
it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and
the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.
14And
when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said,
What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou
thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
15And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:
16When
they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and
another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
17And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
18Thou
wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee:
for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it
thyself alone.
19Hearken
now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with
thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the
causes unto God:
20And
thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way
wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
21Moreover
thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God,
men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be
rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and
rulers of tens:
22And
let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every
great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they
shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the
burden with thee.
23If
thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be
able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in
peace.
24So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.
25And
Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the
people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and
rulers of tens.
26And
they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought
unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
27And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.
1In
the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the
land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
2For
they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai,
and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the
mount.
3And
Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the
mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell
the children of Israel;
4Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
5Now
therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then
ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the
earth is mine:
6And
ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are
the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
7And
Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before
their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
8And
all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath
spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the
LORD.
9And
the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that
the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever.
And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.
10And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
11And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
12And
thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to
yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of
it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
13There
shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot
through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet
soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
14And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
16And
it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were
thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice
of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the
camp trembled.
17And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
18And
mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon
it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace,
and the whole mount quaked greatly.
19And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
20And
the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the
LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
21And
the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break
through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
22And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
23And
Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for
thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
24And
the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up,
thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break
through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.
25So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
1And God spake all these words, saying,
2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4Thou
shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing
that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in
the water under the earth.
5Thou
shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy
God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10But
the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt
not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant,
nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy
gates:
11For
in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in
them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the
sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13Thou shalt not kill.
14Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15Thou shalt not steal.
16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17Thou
shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy
neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox,
nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
18And
all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise
of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it,
they removed, and stood afar off.
19And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
20And
Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and
that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
21And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
22And
the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of
Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
24An
altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy
burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in
all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will
bless thee.
25And
if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn
stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
26Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
1Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
2If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
3If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4If
his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or
daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall
go out by himself.
5And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
6Then
his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to
the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear
through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
7And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
8If
she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then
shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall
have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
9And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
10If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
11And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
12He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
13And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
14But
if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with
guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
15And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
16And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
18And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
19If
he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote
him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall
cause him to be thoroughly healed.
20And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
21Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.
22If
men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from
her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according
as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges
determine.
23And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
27And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
28If
an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely
stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall
be quit.
29But
if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath
been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he
hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also
shall be put to death.
30If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
31Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.
32If
the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto
their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
33And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;
34The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
35And
if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall sell the
live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall
divide.
36Or
if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his
owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead
shall be his own.
1If
a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall
restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
2If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
3If
the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he
should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold
for his theft.
4If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
5If
a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his
beast, and shall feed in another man's field; of the best of his own
field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
6If
fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the
standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the
fire shall surely make restitution.
7If
a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it
be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him pay
double.
8If
the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought
unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand unto his
neighbour's goods.
9For
all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for
raiment, or for any manner of lost thing which another challengeth to be
his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom
the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.
10If
a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any
beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing
it:
11Then
shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put
his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept
thereof, and he shall not make it good.
12And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
13If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.
14And
if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the
owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good.
15But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.
16And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
17If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
18Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
19Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
20He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
21Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
22Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
23If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;
24And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
25If
thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt
not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
26If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
27For
that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein
shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I
will hear; for I am gracious.
28Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
29Thou
shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy
liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
30Likewise
shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall
be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
31And
ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is
torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
1Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
2Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
3Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
4If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
5If
thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and
wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
6Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
7Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
8And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
9Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
11But
the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of
thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall
eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy
oliveyard.
12Six
days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest:
that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and
the stranger, may be refreshed.
13And
in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no
mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy
mouth.
14Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
15Thou
shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened
bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the
month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear
before me empty:)
16And
the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast
sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of
the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.
17Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the LORD God.
18Thou
shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither
shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
19The
first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of
the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
20Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
21Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
22But
if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I
will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine
adversaries.
23For
mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites,
and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites,
and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
24Thou
shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their
works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their
images.
25And
ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy
water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
26There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
27I
will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom
thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto
thee.
28And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
29I
will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land
become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
30By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
31And
I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the
Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the
inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out
before thee.
32Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33They
shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if
thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
1And
he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and
Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off.
2And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
3And
Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the
judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the
words which the LORD hath said will we do.
4And
Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the
morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars,
according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5And
he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt
offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.
6And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
7And
he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the
people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be
obedient.
8And
Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold
the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning
all these words.
9Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
10And
they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a
paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his
clearness.
11And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
12And
the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there:
and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I
have written; that thou mayest teach them.
13And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.
14And
he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto
you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any
matters to do, let him come unto them.
15And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.
16And
the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it
six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of
the cloud.
17And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.
18And
Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount:
and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak
unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every
man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
3And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,
4And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
5And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
6Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
7Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.
8And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
9According
to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the
pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
10And
they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be
the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a
cubit and a half the height thereof.
11And
thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou
overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.
12And
thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four
corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two
rings in the other side of it.
13And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
14And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
15The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.
16And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
17And
thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall
be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
18And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
19And
make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end:
even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends
thereof.
20And
the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the
mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another;
toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.
21And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
22And
there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above
the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of
the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto
the children of Israel.
23Thou
shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be the length
thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the
height thereof.
24And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.
25And
thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and
thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.
26And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.
27Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.
28And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
29And
thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers
thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou
make them.
30And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.
31And
thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the
candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops,
and his flowers, shall be of the same.
32And
six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the
candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick
out of the other side:
33Three
bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch;
and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a
flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick.
34And in the candlesticks shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers.
35And
there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under
two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same,
according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick.
36Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
37And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.
38And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold.
39Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
40And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount.
1Moreover
thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen,
and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt
thou make them.
2The
length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth
of one curtain four cubits: and every one of the curtains shall have
one measure.
3The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.
4And
thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the
selvedge in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost
edge of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.
5Fifty
loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou
make in the edge of the curtain that is in the coupling of the second;
that the loops may take hold one of another.
6And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one tabernacle.
7And thou shalt make curtains of goats' hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make.
8The
length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one
curtain four cubits: and the eleven curtains shall be all of one
measure.
9And
thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by
themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the
tabernacle.
10And
thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is
outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain
which coupleth the second.
11And thou shalt make fifty taches of brass, and put the taches into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.
12And
the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half
curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle.
13And
a cubit on the one side, and a cubit on the other side of that which
remaineth in the length of the curtains of the tent, it shall hang over
the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.
14And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers' skins.
15And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up.
16Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of one board.
17Two
tenons shall there be in one board, set in order one against another:
thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
18And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side southward.
19And
thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two
sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under
another board for his two tenons.
20And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards:
21And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
22And for the sides of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards.
23And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
24And
they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled
together above the head of it unto one ring: thus shall it be for them
both; they shall be for the two corners.
25And
they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen
sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another
board.
26And thou shalt make bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
27And
five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five
bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the two sides
westward.
28And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to end.
29And
thou shalt overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold
for places for the bars: and thou shalt overlay the bars with gold.
30And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount.
31And
thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made:
32And
thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with
gold: their hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver.
33And
thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in
thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall
divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy.
34And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.
35And
thou shalt set the table without the vail, and the candlestick over
against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and
thou shalt put the table on the north side.
36And
thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.
37And
thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars of shittim wood, and

cast five sockets of brass for them.
1And

3And

thou shalt make of brass.
4And
thou shalt make for it a grate of network of brass; and upon the net
shalt thou make four brasen rings in the four corners thereof.
5And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of the altar.
6And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with brass.
7And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar, to bear it.
8Hollow with boards shalt thou make it: as it was shewed thee in the mount, so shall they make it.
9And
thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side
southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen of
an hundred cubits long for one side:
10And
the twenty pillars thereof and their twenty sockets shall be of brass;
the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.
11And
likewise for the north side in length there shall be hangings of an

20And
thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure
oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always.
21In
the tabernacle of the congregation without the vail, which is before
the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order it from evening to morning
before the LORD: it shall be a statute for ever unto their generations
on the behalf of the children of Israel.
1And
take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from
among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the
priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar,
Aaron's sons.
2And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.
3And
thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled
with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to
consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
4And
these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an
ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they
shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he
may minister unto me in the priest's office.
5And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.
6And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.
7It shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and so it shall be joined together.
8And
the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the
same, according to the work thereof; even of gold, of blue, and purple,
and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:
10Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
11With
the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet,
shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of
Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.
12And
thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for
stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear
their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
13And thou shalt make ouches of gold;
14And two chains of pure gold at the ends; of wreathen work shalt thou make them, and fasten the wreathen chains to the ouches.
15And
thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after
the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of
purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.
16Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof.
17And
thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the
first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be
the first row.
18And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
19And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
20And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.
21And
the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve,
according to their names, like the engravings of a signet; every one
with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes.
22And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains at the ends of wreathen work of pure gold.
23And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
24And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate.
25And
the other two ends of the two wreathen chains thou shalt fasten in the
two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod before it.
26And
thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two
ends of the breastplate in the border thereof, which is in the side of
the ephod inward.
27And
two other rings of gold thou shalt make, and shalt put them on the two
sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart thereof, over against
the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
28And
they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of
the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the curious girdle
of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.
29And
Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate
of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a
memorial before the LORD continually.
30And
thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim;
and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the LORD:
and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his
heart before the LORD continually.
31And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
32And
there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the midst thereof: it shall
have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the
hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.
33And
beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of
purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold
between them round about:
34A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about.
35And
it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when
he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD, and when he cometh out,
that he die not.
36And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
37And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.
38And
it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of
the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their
holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be
accepted before the LORD.
39And
thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make the
mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle of needlework.
40And
for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for them
girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.
41And
thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and
shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may
minister unto me in the priest's office.
42And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:
43And
they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the
tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar
to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it
shall be a statute for ever unto him and his seed after him.
1And
this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to
minister unto me in the priest's office: Take one young bullock, and two
rams without blemish,
2And
unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers
unleavened anointed with oil: of wheaten flour shalt thou make them.
3And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams.
4And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water.
5And
thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe
of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the
curious girdle of the ephod:
6And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.
7Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.
8And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them.
9And
thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and put the
bonnets on them: and the priest's office shall be theirs for a perpetual
statute: and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons.
10And
thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the
congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head
of the bullock.
11And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
12And
thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns
of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom
of the altar.
13And
thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul
that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon
them, and burn them upon the altar.
14But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it is a sin offering.
15Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
16And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar.
17And
thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his
legs, and put them unto his pieces, and unto his head.
18And
thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering
unto the LORD: it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the
LORD.
19And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
20Then
shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip
of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his
sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of
their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
21And
thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the
anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and
upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall
be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with
him.
22Also
thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that
covereth the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys,
and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder; for it is a ram
of consecration:
23And
one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of
the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD:
24And
thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons;
and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.
25And
thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the altar
for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD: it is an
offering made by fire unto the LORD.
26And
thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave
it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy part.
27And
thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder
of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the
ram of the consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that
which is for his sons:
28And
it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever from the
children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an
heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their
peace offerings, even their heave offering unto the LORD.
29And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them.
30And
that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days, when
he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the
holy place.
31And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seethe his flesh in the holy place.
32And
Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that
is in the basket by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
33And
they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to
consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof,
because they are holy.
34And
if ought of the flesh of the consecrations, or of the bread, remain
unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall
not be eaten, because it is holy.
35And
thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all things
which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.
36And
thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement:
and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for
it, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.
37Seven
days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and
it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be
holy.
38Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.
39The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:
40And
with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of
an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink
offering.
41And
the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according
to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink
offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the
LORD.
42This
shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will
meet you, to speak there unto thee.
43And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory.
44And
I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I
will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the
priest's office.
45And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
46And
they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them forth
out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD
their God.
1And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it.
2A
cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof;
foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the
horns thereof shall be of the same.
3And
thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides
thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a
crown of gold round about.
4And
two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the
two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and
they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.
5And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
6And
thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony,
before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with
thee.
7And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
8And
when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a
perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.
9Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.
10And
Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with
the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he
make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto
the LORD.
11And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
12When
thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then
shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou
numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest
them.
13This
they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered,
half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty
gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD.
14Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.
15The
rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a
shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement
for your souls.
16And
thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and
shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation;
that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD,
to make an atonement for your souls.
17And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
18Thou
shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash
withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation
and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
19For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
20When
they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with
water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to
minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD:
21So
they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it
shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed
throughout their generations.
22Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23Take
thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred
shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty
shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,
24And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
25And
thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after
the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.
26And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,
27And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense,
28And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.
29And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
30And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
31And
thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an
holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
32Upon
man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other
like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy
unto you.
33Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
34And
the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and
onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each
shall there be a like weight:
35And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:
36And
thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the
testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with
thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
37And
as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to
yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee
holy for the LORD.
38Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
3And
I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
4To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
6And
I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the
tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put
wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
7The
tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the
mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
8And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
9And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
10And
the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and
the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,
11And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
12And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
13Speak
thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye
shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your
generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
14Ye
shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one
that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any
work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15Six
days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy
to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall
surely be put to death.
16Wherefore
the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath
throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17It
is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six
days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested,
and was refreshed.
18And
he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon
mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the
finger of God.
1And
when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount,
the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him,
Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the
man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is
become of him.
2And
Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the
ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them
unto me.
3And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
4And
he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool,
after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O
Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
6And
they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and
brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink,
and rose up to play.
7And
the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou
broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
8They
have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they
have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have
sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have
brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
10Now
therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and
that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
11And
Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax
hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land
of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
12Wherefore
should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them
out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of
the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against
thy people.
13Remember
Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine
own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars
of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your
seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.
14And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
15And
Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the
testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides;
on the one side and on the other were they written.
16And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
17And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
18And
he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is
it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them
that sing do I hear.
19And
it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the
calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the
tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
20And
he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and
ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the
children of Israel drink of it.
21And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
22And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
23For
they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for
this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot
not what is become of him.
24And
I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So
they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this
calf.
25And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
26Then
Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's
side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves
together unto him.
27And
he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his
sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the
camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and
every man his neighbour.
28And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
29For
Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, even every man
upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a
blessing this day.
30And
it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have
sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I
shall make an atonement for your sin.
31And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
32Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
33And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
34Therefore
now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto
thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day
when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
35And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
1And
the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people
which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which
I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed
will I give it:
2And
I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite,
the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the
Jebusite:
3Unto
a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst
of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the
way.
4And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
5For
the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a
stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment,
and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I
may know what to do unto thee.
6And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
7And
Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off
from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it
came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the
tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.
8And
it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the
people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after
Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
9And
it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy
pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord
talked with Moses.
10And
all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and
all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
11And
the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his
friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the
son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
12And
Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this
people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet
thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in
my sight.
13Now
therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now
thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and
consider that this nation is thy people.
14And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
15And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
16For
wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace
in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be
separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face
of the earth.
17And
the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast
spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
18And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
19And
he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will
proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I
will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
20And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22And
it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee
in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass
by:
23And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
1And
the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the
first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the
first tables, which thou brakest.
2And
be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai,
and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.
3And
no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout
all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.
4And
he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up
early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had
commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
5And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
6And
the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God,
merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and
truth,
7Keeping
mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and
that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the
third and to the fourth generation.
8And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
9And
he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O LORD, let my LORD, I
pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our
iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
10And
he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do
marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation:
and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD:
for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
11Observe
thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before
thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite,
and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
12Take
heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the
land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:
13But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
14For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
15Lest
thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a
whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call
thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
16And
thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a
whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their
gods.
17Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
18The
feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat
unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib:
for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
19All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
20But
the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou
redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy
sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
21Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
22And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
23Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel.
24For
I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders:
neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear
before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.
25Thou
shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall
the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
26The
first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of
the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
27And
the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor
of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
28And
he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither
eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of
the covenant, the ten commandments.
29And
it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two
tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount,
that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with
him.
30And
when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin
of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.
31And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.
32And
afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in
commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
33And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.
34But
when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail
off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of
Israel that which he was commanded.
35And
the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses'
face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in
to speak with him.
1And
Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together,
and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded,
that ye should do them.
2Six
days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you
an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein
shall be put to death.
3Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.
4And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
5Take
ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing
heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and
brass,
6And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
7And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
8And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
9And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
10And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded;
11The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
12The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,
13The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread,
14The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light,
15And
the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet
incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the
tabernacle,
16The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
17The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,
18The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,
19The
cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments
for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the
priest's office.
20And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
21And
they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his
spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD's offering to the work
of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for
the holy garments.
22And
they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and
brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of
gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the
LORD.
23And
every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins,
brought them.
24Every
one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD's
offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work
of the service, brought it.
25And
all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and
brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of
scarlet, and of fine linen.
26And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair.
27And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
28And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
29The
children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man
and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of
work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
30And
Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by
name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
31And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
32And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
33And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
34And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35Them
hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the
engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue,
and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of
them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.
1Then
wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the
LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work
for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had
commanded.
2And
Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose
heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him
up to come unto the work to do it:
3And
they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel
had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it
withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.
4And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;
5And
they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough
for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.
6And
Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout
the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the
offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.
7For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
8And
every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the
tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple,
and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.
9The
length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of
one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.
10And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.
11And
he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in
the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of another curtain,
in the coupling of the second.
12Fifty
loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of
the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one
curtain to another.
13And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.
14And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
15The
length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the
breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.
16And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
17And
he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the
coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which
coupleth the second.
18And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
19And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.
20And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.
21The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.
22One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:
24And
forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets
under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board
for his two tenons.
25And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards,
26And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
29And
they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to
one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
30And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
31And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32And
five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five
bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.
33And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.
34And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
35And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work.
36And
he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with
gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of
silver.
37And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;
38And
the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their
chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of
brass.
1And
Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the
length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a
half the height of it:
2And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
3And
he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it;
even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other
side of it.
4And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
5And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6And
he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the
length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
7And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;
8One
cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on
that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends
thereof.
9And
the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their
wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the
mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.
10And
he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof,
and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height
thereof:
11And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.
12Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.
13And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.
14Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.
15And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
16And
he made the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his
spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.
17And
he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the
candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his
flowers, were of the same:
18And
six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the
candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the
candlestick out of the other side thereof:
19Three
bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a
flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a
flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick.
20And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:
21And
a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of
the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the
six branches going out of it.
22Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.
23And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.
24Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.
25And
he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a
cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits
was the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.
26And
he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides
thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto it a crown
of gold round about.
27And
he made two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two
corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves
to bear it withal.
28And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.
1And
he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was
the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was
foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
2And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.
3And
he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and
the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels
thereof made he of brass.
4And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.
5And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.
6And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.
7And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.
8And
he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the
lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation.
9And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:
10Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
11And
for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars
were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars
and their fillets of silver.
12And
for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and
their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of
silver.
13And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
14The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15And
for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were
hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets
three.
16All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.
17And
the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and
their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of
silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.
18And
the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the
length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the
hangings of the court.
19And
their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks
of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of
silver.
20And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.
21This
is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as
it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service
of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.
22And Bezaleel the son Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.
23And
with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an
engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in
purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.
24All
the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy
place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and
seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
25And
the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an
hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
26A
bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the
sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old
and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five
hundred and fifty men.
27And
of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the
sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the
hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
28And
of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks
for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.
29And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
30And
therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and all
the vessels of the altar,
31And
the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court
gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court
round about.
1And
of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to
do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as
the LORD commanded Moses.
2And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3And
they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work
it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine
linen, with cunning work.
4They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.
5And
the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same,
according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
6And
they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets
are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
7And
he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones
for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
8And
he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of
gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9It
was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length
thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.
10And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.
11And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
13And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
14And
the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel,
twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every
one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
15And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.
16And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.
17And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.
18And
the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two
ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.
19And
they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the
breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod
inward.
20And
they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the
ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other
coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
21And
they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod
with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the
ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as
the LORD commanded Moses.
22And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
23And
there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an
habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.
24And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
25And
they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the
pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the
pomegranates;
26A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.
27And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
28And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,
29And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30And
they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a
writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
31And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
32Thus
was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation
finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD
commanded Moses, so did they.
33And
they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his
furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his
sockets,
34And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,
35The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,
36The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,
37The
pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set
in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,
38And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,
39The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
40The
hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging
for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the
service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,
41The
cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy
garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in
the priest's office.
42According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.
43And
Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the
LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
3And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
4And
thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to
be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and
light the lamps thereof.
5And
thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the
testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
6And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
7And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.
8And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
9And
thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all
that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and
it shall be holy.
10And
thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels,
and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.
11And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
12And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
13And
thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and
sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
14And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
15And
thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they
may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall
surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
16Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
17And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
18And
Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up
the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his
pillars.
19And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
20And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:
21And
he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the
covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
22And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
23And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
24And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
25And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
26And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:
27And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
28And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.
29And
he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the
tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and
the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.
31And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
32When
they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near
unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
33And
he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and
set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
34Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35And
Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because
the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the
tabernacle.
36And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
37But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
38For
the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on
it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all
their journeys.
