1 Scroll 02 Exodus.
Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt;
every man and his household came with Jacob.
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5 And all the souls that descended from Jacob, were seventy souls: for Joseph was already in Egypt. Deu 10:22
6 Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and became exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph. Act 7:18
9 He said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we.
10 Come, let us deal wisely with them: lest they multiply, and it shall come to pass, that when there falls out any war, they will join with our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land.
11 Therefore they set over them task-masters, to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure-cities, Pithom, and Raamses.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor.
14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service in which they made them serve, was with rigor.
15 [The Hebrew midwives].
And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives (of which the name of one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah).
16 He said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it shall be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it shall be a daughter, then she shall live.
17 But the midwives feared GOD, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male-children alive.
18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the male-children alive?
19 And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women: for they are lively, and are delivered before the midwives come in to them.
20 Therefore GOD dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and became very mighty.
21
And it came to pass, because the midwives feared GOD, that He made them houses.
22 Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
1 [Moses's birth].
And there went a man of the House of Levi, and married a daughter of Levi.
2 And the woman conceived, and bore a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child in it; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
4 And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river, and her maidens walked along by the river's side: and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
7 Then said his sister to the daughter of Pharaoh, Shall I go, and call to Thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for Thee?
8 The daughter of Pharaoh said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
9 The daughter of Pharaoh said to her, Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I will give Thee Thy wages. And the woman took the child and nursed it.
10 And the child grew, and she brought him to the daughter of Pharaoh, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
11 [Moses's exile].
And it came to pass in those days, when Moses become great, that he went out to his brethren,
and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 He looked from side to side, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 And when he went out the second day,
behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong,
Why smite Thou Thy fellow?
14 And he said, Who made Thee a ruler and a judge? Act 7:27
Will Thou kill me, as Thou killed the Egyptian yesterday? Act 7:28
Moses feared, and said, Surely, this thing is known.
15 Now 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.
16
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you are come so soon today?
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
20 He said to his daughters, And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.
21 Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 And she bore him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a foreign land.
23 And 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 ascended to GOD, by reason of the bondage.
24 GOD heard their groaning, and GOD remembered His Covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 GOD looked upon the children of Israel, and GOD had respect to them.
1 [The Burning Bush].
Now Moses feeding 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 Mount of GOD, even to Horeb.
2 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush:
and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, GOD called to him out of the middle of the bush,
and said, Moses, Moses. He said, Behold me.
5 He said, Approach not here: Put off Thy shoes from Thy feet: for the place where Thou have stood is Holy ground.
6 Moreover, He said,
I AM the God of Thy father,
the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob. Mar 12:26
Moses hid his face: for he was afraid to look upon the GOD.
7
The LORD said, I have seen, I have seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt,
and I have heard their groaning to their task-masters; for I know their sorrows;
8 and I have come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians,
and to bring them up out of that land, to a good land, and a large, to a land flowing with milk and honey;
to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Deu 7:1
9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come to Me:
and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
10 And now come, I will send Thee to the Pharaoh, that Thou may bring forth My people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11 Moses said to GOD, Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 He said, Certainly I will be with Thee; and this shall be a token to Thee, that I have sent Thee:
When Thou have brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve GOD upon this mountain.
13 Moses said to GOD, Behold, when I come to the children of Israel,
and shall say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you;
and they shall say to me, What is His Name? What shall I say to them?
14 GOD said to Moses, I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE:
And He said, Thus shall Thou say to the children of Israel, I WILL BE has sent me to you.
15 GOD said, moreover, to Moses, Thus shall Thou say to the children of Israel,
The LORD, God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,
has sent me to you: this is My Name forever, and this is My memorial from generation to generation.
16 Go and assemble the elders of Israel, and say to them, The LORD, God of your fathers,
the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me,
saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt.
17 I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt;
to the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, Deu 7:1
to a land flowing with milk and honey.
18
And they shall listen to Thy voice: and Thou shall come,
Thou and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and ye shall say to him,
The LORD, God of the Hebrews has 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.
19 I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
20 I will stretch out My hand, and smite Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in the middle of it: and after that he will let you go.
21 I will give this people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that when ye go, ye shall not go empty,
22 but every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that dwells in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing:
and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters: and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.
1
Moses answered and said,
But behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice: for they will say,
The LORD has not appeared to Thee.
2 The LORD said to him, What is that in Thy hand? He said, A rod.
3 He said, Cast it on the ground. He cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent: and Moses fled from before it.
4 The LORD said to Moses,
Put forth Thy hand, and take it by the tail. He put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand.
5 That they may believe that the LORD, God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to Thee.
6 The LORD said furthermore to him, Put now Thy hand into Thy bosom. He put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.
7 He said, Put Thy hand into Thy bosom again. He put his hand into his bosom again, and drew it out of his bosom, and behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.
8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe Thee, neither listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither listen to Thy voice, that Thou shall take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land:
and the water which Thou take out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.
10 Moses said to the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither yesterday, nor before, nor since Thou have spoken to Thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
11 The LORD said to him, Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Have not I the LORD.
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with Thy mouth, and teach Thee what Thou shall say.
13 He said, O my Lord, send, I pray Thee, by the hand of him whom Thou will send.
14 And 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 comes forth to meet Thee: and when he sees Thee, he will be glad in his heart.
15 Thou shall speak to 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.
16 He shall speak for Thee to the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to Thee instead of a mouth, and Thou shall be to him instead of GOD.
17 Thou shall take this rod in Thy hand, with which Thou shall perform signs.
18
Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray Thee,
and return to my brethren who are in Egypt, and see whether they are yet alive. Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
19 The LORD said to Moses in Midian,
Go, return into Egypt; for all the men are dead who sought Thy life.
20 Moses took his wife, and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took the rod of GOD in his hand.
21
The LORD said to Moses,
When Thou go to return into Egypt, see that Thou perform all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in Thy hand:
but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
22 Thou shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD, Israel is My son, even My first-born.
23 I say to Thee, Let My son go, that he may serve Me: and if Thou shall refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay Thy son, even Thy first-born.
24 And it came to pass by the way in the lodging, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
25 Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely, a bridegroom of blood are Thou to me.
26 So He let him go: then she said, A bridegroom of blood Thou are, because of the circumcision.
27 The LORD said to Aaron,
Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. He went, and met him in the Mount of GOD, and kissed him.
28 Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which He had commanded him.
29 Moses and Aaron went, and assembled all the elders of the children of Israel.
30 Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses, and performed the signs in the sight of the people.
31 And 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 worshiped.
1 [Bricks without straw].
And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh,
Thus says the LORD, God of Israel,
Let My people go, that they may hold a Festival to Me in the wilderness.
2 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.
3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us: let us go,
we pray Thee, three days' journey into the desert,
and sacrifice to the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
4 And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, hinder the people from their works; go to your burdens.
5 Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
6 Pharaoh commanded the same day the task-masters of the people, and their officers, saying,
7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore; let them go and gather straw for themselves.
8 And the number of the bricks which they made heretofore, ye shall lay upon them;
ye shall not diminish of it; for they are idle: therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
9 Let more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour in it: and let them not regard vain words.
10 And the task-masters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people,
saying, Thus says Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
11 Go ye, get straw where ye can find it: yet not aught of your work shall be diminished.
12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble instead of straw.
13 And the task-masters hastened them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's task-masters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded,
Why have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both yesterday and today, as heretofore?
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, Why deal Thou thus with Thy servants?
16 There is no straw given to Thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and behold, Thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in Thy own people.
17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go, and do sacrifice to the LORD.
18 Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the number of bricks.
19 And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in evil case, after it was said,
Ye shall not diminish aught from your bricks of your daily task.
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood against them, as they came forth from Pharaoh.
21 And they said to them, May 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 hands to slay us.
22 Moses returned to the LORD, and said, Lord, why have Thou so ill-treated this people? Why is it that Thou have sent me?
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Thy name, he has done evil to this people; neither have Thou delivered Thy people at all.
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Now shall 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 from his land.
2 GOD spoke to Moses, and said to him, I AM the LORD:
3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty,
but by My Name JeHoVaH was I not known to them.
4 I have also established My Covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan,
the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers.
5 I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel,
whom the Egyptians keep in bondage: and I remember My Covenant.
6 [an outstretched arm].
Therefore say to the children of Israel, I AM the LORD,
and I will bring you from under the burdens of the Egyptians,
and I will deliver you from their bondage,
and I will redeem you with out-stretched arm, and with great Judgments:
7 I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you GOD:
and ye shall know that I AM the LORD your God,
who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
8 I will bring you into the land,
concerning which I swore to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;
and I will give it to you for a heritage: I AM the LORD.
9 Moses spoke so to the children of Israel:
but they listened not to Moses, by reason of anguish of spirit, and cruel bondage.
10
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
11 Go in, speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel depart from his land.
12 Moses spoke before the LORD, saying,
Behold, the children of Israel have not listened to me;
how then shall Pharaoh hear me, I being of uncircumcised lips?
13 The LORD spoke to Moses, and to Aaron,
and gave them a charge to the children of Israel,
and to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
14 These are the heads of the houses of their fathers: The sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel;
Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these are the families of Reuben.
15 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar,
and Saul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon.
16 And 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 a hundred thirty seven years.
17 The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimei, according to their families.
18 And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel:
and the years of the life of Kohath were a hundred thirty three years.
19 And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the families of Levi, according to their generations.
20 Amram took him Jochebed, his father's sister, for a wife; and she bore him Aaron and Moses.
And the years of the life of Amram were a hundred thirty seven years.
21 And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
22 And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
23 Aaron took him Elisheba daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nahshon,
for a wife; and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
24 And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korahites.
25 Eleazar, Aaron's son, took him one of the daughters of Putiel for a wife; and she bore to him Phinehas:
these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites, according to their families.
26 These 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.
27 These are they who spoke to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.
28
And it came to pass, on the day when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,
29 that the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
I AM the LORD: speak Thou to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, all that I say to Thee!
30 Moses said before the LORD,
Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh listen to me?
1
The LORD said to Moses,
See, I have made Thee as GOD to Pharaoh: and Aaron Thy brother shall be Thy prophet.
2 Thou shall speak all that I command Thee: and Aaron Thy brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
3 I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 But Pharaoh shall not listen to you, that I may lay My hand upon Egypt,
and bring forth My armies, My people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt, by great Judgments.
5 And the Egyptians shall know that I AM the LORD, when I stretch forth My hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
6 Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
7 Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8
The LORD spoke to Moses, and to Aaron, saying,
9 When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Show a miracle for you: then Thou shall say to Aaron, Take Thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a snake.
10 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a snake.
11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise-men, and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became snakes: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
13 Pharaoh's heart was hardened and did not listen to them; as the LORD had said.
14 [Plagues].
The LORD said to Moses,
Pharaoh's heart is hardened; he refuses to let the people go.
15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning; behold, he goes out to the water, and Thou shall stand by the river's brink to meet him;
and the rod which was turned to a serpent shall Thou take in Thy hand.
16 Thou shall say to him, The LORD, God of the Hebrews has sent me to Thee, saying,
Let My people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and behold, until now Thou would not hear.
17 Thus says the LORD, In this Thou shall know that I AM the LORD:
behold, I will smite with the rod that is in My hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink of the water of the river.
19
The LORD spoke to Moses,
Say to Aaron, Take Thy rod, and stretch out Thy 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.
20 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 into blood.
21 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stunk,
and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he listen to them; as the LORD had said.
23 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he regard this also.
24 And all the Egyptians dig around the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 And seven days were fulfilled after that the LORD had smitten the river.
1
The LORD spoke to Moses,
Go to Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus says the LORD,
Let My people go that they may serve Me.
2 And if Thou shall refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all Thy borders with frogs.
3 And the river shall bring forth abundantly frogs, which shall go up and come,
into Thy house, and into Thy bed-chamber, and upon Thy bed, and into the house of Thy servants,
and upon Thy people, and into Thy ovens, and into Thy kneading troughs.
4 And the frogs shall come up both on Thee, and upon Thy people, and upon all Thy servants.
5
The LORD spoke to Moses,
Say to Aaron, Stretch forth Thy hand with Thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.
6 Aaron stretched his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat 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 to the LORD.
9 Moses said to Pharaoh, glory over me: when shall I entreat 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?
10 He said, Tomorrow. He said, Be it according to Thy word; that Thou may know that there is none like the LORD our God.
11 And 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.
12
Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried to the LORD, because of the frogs which He had brought against Pharaoh.
13 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.
14 And they gathered them into heaps: and the land stunk.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and listened not to them, as the LORD had said.
16
The LORD said to Moses,
Say to Aaron, Stretch out Thy rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
17 And 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 earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man and upon beast.
19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of GOD: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he listened not to them; as the LORD had said.
20
The LORD said to Moses,
Rise early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh;
(behold, he comes forth to the water) and say to him, Thus says the LORD,
Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
21 Else, if Thou will 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 on which they are.
22 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 may know that I AM the LORD in the middle of the Earth.
23 I will put a division between My people and Thy people: tomorrow shall this sign be.
24 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.
25 Pharaoh called for Moses, and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.
26 Moses said, It is not good so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God:
Behold, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He shall command us.
28 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: entreat for me.
29
Moses said, Behold, I go out from Thee, and I will entreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people,
tomorrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more, in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.
30 Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
31 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.
32 Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
1
Then the LORD said to Moses,
Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus says the LORD, God of the Hebrews,
Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
2 For if Thou shall refuse to let them go, and will hold them still.
3 Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon Thy cattle which are 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 pestilence.
4 The LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel, and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.
5 The LORD appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow the LORD will do this thing in the land.
6 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.
7 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.
8
The LORD said to Moses and to Aaron,
Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it towards Heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
9 And 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.
10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it towards Heaven;
and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.
11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses,
because of the boil: for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
12 The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he listened not to them; as the LORD had spoken to Moses.
13
The LORD said to Moses,
Rise early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh,
and say to him, Thus says the LORD, God of the Hebrews,
Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
14 For I will at this time send all My plagues upon Thy heart, and upon Thy servants,
and upon Thy people: that Thou may know that there is none like me in all the Earth.
15 For now I will stretch out My hand, that I may smite Thee,
and Thy people with pestilence; and Thou shall be cut off from the Earth.
16 And even for this same purpose have I raised Thee up, that I might show My power in Thee,
and that My Name might be declared throughout all the Earth. Rom 9:17
17 As yet do Thou exalt thyself against My people, that Thou will not let them go?
18 Behold, Tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail,
such as has not been in Egypt since its foundation even until now.
19 Send therefore now, and gather Thy cattle, and all that Thou have 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.
20 He who feared the word of the LORD, among the servants of Pharaoh,
made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses.
21 He who has not set his heart to the word of the LORD, left his servants and his cattle in the field.
22
The LORD said to Moses,
Stretch forth Thy hand towards 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.
23 Moses stretched forth his rod towards 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.
24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt, since it became a nation.
25 And 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 broke every tree of the field.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
27 Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and My people are wicked.
28 Entreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more thunders and hail of GOD; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
29 Moses said to him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad My hands to the LORD;
and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that Thou may know that the Earth is the LORD's.
30 But as for Thee and Thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD GOD.
31 And the flax and the barley were smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bud.
32 But the wheat and the rye were not smitten; for they were not grown up.
33 Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands to the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the Earth.
34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
1
The LORD said to Moses,
Go in to Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants; that I might show these My signs before him.
2 And that Thou may tell in the ears of Thy son, and of Thy grandson, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and My signs which I have done among them;
that ye may know that I AM the LORD.
3 Moses and Aaron came in to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus says the LORD, God of the Hebrews,
Until when will Thou refuse to humble thyself before Me?
Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
4 Else, if Thou shall refuse to let My people go,
behold, tomorrow will I bring the locusts into Thy border.
5 And 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 has escaped,
which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field:
6 and 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 to this day. He turned, and went out from Pharaoh.
7 Pharaoh's servants said to him, Until when shall this man be a snare to us?
Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: know Thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
8 Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh: and he said to them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go?
9 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 Festival to the LORD.
10 He said to 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.
11 Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that you desired. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
12
The LORD said to Moses,
Stretch forth Thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts,
that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.
13 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.
14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt:
very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them will be such.
15 For they covered the face of all the Earth, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land,
and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing on the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
17 Now therefore forgive, I pray Thee, My sin only this once, and entreat the LORD your God that He may take away from me this death only.
18 He went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
19 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 borders of Egypt.
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
21
The LORD said to Moses,
Stretch forth Thy hand towards Heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
22 Moses stretched forth his hand towards Heaven: and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.
23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24 Pharaoh called to 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.
25 Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices, and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not a hoof be left behind; for of them must we take to serve the LORD our God;
and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come there.
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
28 Pharaoh said to him, Depart from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more: for in that day Thou see my face, Thou shall die.
29 Moses said, Thou have spoken well, I will see Thy face again no more.
1
The LORD said to 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.
2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbour, and every woman from her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
3 The LORD gave the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians.
Moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the eyes of Pharaoh's servants, and in the eyes of the people.
4
Moses said, Thus says the LORD,
About midnight will I go out into the middle of Egypt:
5 and all the first-born in the land of Egypt shall die,
from the first-born of Pharaoh that sits upon his throne, even to the first-born of the maid-servant that is behind the mill; and all the first-born of beasts.
6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt,
such as there has been none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast:
that ye may know how the LORD does put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
8 And all these Thy servants shall come down to me, and bow down themselves to me,
saying, Depart Thou, and all the people that follow Thy steps; and after that I will depart: and he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
9
The LORD said to Moses,
Pharaoh will not listen to you; that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
10 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 depart from his land.
1
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 Speak ye to 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 a house:
4 and if the household shall be too small for the lamb,
let him and his neighbour next to his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it from the sheep or from the goats:
6 and ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the Congregation of Israel shall kill it between the evenings.
7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side-posts, and on the upper door-post of the houses, in which they shall eat it.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire; and Unleavened Bread, and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
9 Eat not of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; its head with its legs, and with its entrails.
10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning: and that which remains of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11 And 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.
12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast:
and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I AM the LORD.
13 And 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.
14 And this day shall be to you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a Festival to the LORD throughout your generations: ye shall keep it a Festival by an ordinance forever.
15 Seven days shall ye eat Unleavened Bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses:
for whoever eats leavened bread, from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
16 And in the first day there shall be a Holy Convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be a Holy Convocation to you:
no manner of work shall be done in them, only that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.
17 And ye shall observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread; for in this same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt:
therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance forever.
18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, ye shall eat Unleavened Bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening.
19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whoever eats that which is leavened,
even that soul shall be cut off from the Congregation of Israel, whether he shall be a stranger, or born in the land.
20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened: in all your habitations shall ye eat Unleavened Bread.
21
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them,
Draw out, and take you a lamb, according to your families, and kill the Passover.
22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts,
with the blood that is in the basin: and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts,
the LORD will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you.
24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to Thee and to Thy sons forever.
25 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall have come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as He has promised, that ye shall keep this service.
26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say to you, What mean you by this service?
27 That 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 worshiped.
28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
29
And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt,
from the first-born of Pharaoh that sat upon his throne, to the first-born of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the first-born of cattle.
30 Pharaoh rose 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.
31 He called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Arise, and depart from among My people,
both ye and the children of Israel: and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone: and bless me also.
33 [End Plagues].
And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead men.
34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35 And 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 clothing.
36 The LORD gave the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, so that they lent to them such things as they requested: and they spoiled the Egyptians.
37
And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, besides children.
38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very many cattle.
39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought from Egypt, for it was not leavened:
because they were driven from Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victuals.
40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred thirty years.
41 And it came to pass, at the end of the four hundred thirty years,
even the same day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD departed from the land of Egypt.
42 It is a night to be much observed to the LORD, for bringing them out from the land of Egypt:
this is that night of the LORD to be observed by all the children of Israel in their generations.
43 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
This is the ordinance of the Passover: there shall no stranger eat of it.
44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when Thou have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.
45 A sojourner, and a hired servant shall not eat of it.
46 In one house shall it be eaten; Thou shall not carry aught of the flesh abroad out of the house: neither shall ye break a bone. Joh 19:36
47 All the Congregation of Israel shall keep it.
48 And 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 of it.
49 One law shall be to him that is home-born, and to the stranger that sojourners among you.
50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
51
And it came to pass the same day, that the LORD brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Sanctify to me all the first-born, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is Mine.
3
Moses said to 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.
4 This day ye came out in the month Abib.
5 And 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 Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites, Exo 3:8
which He swore to Thy fathers to give Thee, a land flowing with milk and honey;
that Thou shall keep this service in this month.
6 Seven days shall Thou eat Unleavened Bread, and in the seventh day shall be a Festival to the LORD.
7 Unleavened 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.
8 Thou shall show Thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did to me when I came forth out of Egypt.
9 And it shall be for a sign to Thee upon Thy hand,
and for a memorial between Thy eyes;
that the LORD's law may be in Thy mouth:
for with a strong hand has the LORD brought Thee out of Egypt.
10 Thou shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from time to time[yearly].
11
And it shall be when the LORD shall bring Thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to Thee and to Thy fathers, and shall give it to Thee,
12 that Thou shall set apart to the LORD all that opens the womb; and every firstling that comes of a beast which Thou have, the males shall be the LORD's.
13 And every firstling of an ass Thou shall redeem with a lamb; and if Thou will not redeem,
then Thou shall break his neck: and all the first-born of man among Thy children shall Thou redeem.
14 And it shall be when Thy son asks Thee in time to come, saying, What is this? That Thou shall say to him,
By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the House of Bondage.
15
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the first-born in the land of Egypt,
both the first-born of man, and the first-born of beasts: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that opens the womb,
being males; but all the first-born of my children I redeem.
16 And it shall be for a token upon Thy hand, and for frontlets between Thy eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.
17
And 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 perhaps the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt.
18 But GOD led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed from the land of Egypt.
19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had strictly sworn the children of Israel, saying, GOD will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones hence with you.
20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
21 The LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them in the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light: to go by day and night.
22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
1 [Crossing the Red Sea].
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, That they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth,
between Migdol and the sea, opposed to Baal-zephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has shut them in.
4 I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow 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.
5 And it was told to 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?
6 He made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
7 he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
8
The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt,
and he pursued the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
9 But the Egyptians pursued them (all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army);
and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
10 And when Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them;
and they were greatly afraid; and the children of Israel cried to the LORD.
11 And they said to Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, have Thou taken us away to die in the wilderness?
Why have Thou dealt thus with us, to conduct us out of Egypt?
12 Is not this the word that we told 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.
13 Moses said to the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the Salvation of the LORD, which He will show to you today:
for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever.
14 The LORD will fight for you, and ye shall be silent.
15
The LORD said to Moses,
Why cry Thou to me?
Speak to the children of Israel, That they go forward.
16 But lift Thou Thy rod, and stretch out Thy hand over the sea,
and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go on dry land through the middle of the sea.
17 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.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I AM the LORD,
when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19
And the Angel of GOD, who 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.
20 And 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.
21 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.
22 And the children of Israel went into the middle of the sea upon the dry: and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the middle of the Sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24
And it came to pass, that, in the morning-watch, the LORD looked to the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire, and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
25 and took off their chariot-wheels, and made them to move heavily, so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians.
26
The LORD said to Moses,
Stretch forth Thy hand over the Sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
27 Moses stretched forth his hand over the Sea, and the Sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared;
and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.
28 And 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.
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the middle of the Sea; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians: and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore.
31
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.
1 [Song of the Sea].
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to JeHoVaH,
and spoke, saying, I will sing to JeHoVaH,
for He has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider has He thrown into the Sea.
2 JaH is my Strength and Song,
and He is become my Salvation:
He is my God, and I will prepare Him a habitation;
my father's God, and I will exalt Him.
3 JeHoVaH is a man of war:
JeHoVaH is His Name.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host has he cast into the Sea:
his chosen captains are drowned in the Red Sea.
5 The abysses have covered them:
they sunk to the bottom as a stone.
6 Thy right hand, JeHoVaH, is become glorious in power:
Thy right hand, JeHoVaH, has dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 And in the greatness of Thy excellence Thou have overthrown them that rose up against Thee:
Thou sent forth Thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 And with the blast of Thy nostrils the waters were collected,
the floods stood upright as a heap,
the abysses were congealed in the heart of the Sea.
9 The 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.
10
Thou did blow with Thy wind, covered by the Sea:
they sunk as lead in the mighty waters.
11
Who is like Thee, JeHoVaH, among the gods?
Who is like Thee, glorious in Holiness,
fearful in praises, doing wonders!
12 Thou stretched out Thy right hand,
the Earth swallowed them.
13 Thou in Thy mercy have led forth the people which Thou have redeemed:
Thou have guided them in Thy strength to Thy Holy habitation.
14 The people shall hear, and be afraid:
sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Then 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.
16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them;
by the greatness of Thy arm they shall be as still as a stone;
until Thy people pass over, JeHoVaH,
until Thy people pass over, which Thou have purchased.
17 Thou shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of Thy inheritance,
in the place, JeHoVaH, which Thou have made for Thee to dwell in;
in the Sanctuary, Lord. Which Thy hands have established.
18 JeHoVaH shall reign forever and ever.
19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the Sea,
and JeHoVaH brought again upon them; the waters of the Sea,
but the children of Israel went on dry land in the middle of the Sea.
20 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.
21 [Song of Miriam].
Miriam answered them, Sing ye to JeHoVaH,
for He has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider has He thrown into the Sea.
22
So 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.
23 And 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.
24
And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25
He cried to JeHoVaH;
and JeHoVaH showed him a tree,
which He cast into the waters,
and the waters were made sweet:
there He made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He proved them,
26 and said, If Thou will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD Thy God,
and will do that which is right in His eyes,
and will 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 JeHoVaH Thy Healer.
27
And they came to Elim,
where were Twelve fountains of water,
and seventy palm-trees:
and they encamped there by the waters.
1 [Bread from Heaven].
And they took their journey from Elim, and all the Congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin,
(which is between Elim and Sinai), on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt.
2 And the whole Congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
3 And the children of Israel said to them, that 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.
4
Then said the LORD to 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 not.
5 And 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 day by day.
6 Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel,
at evening, then ye shall know that the LORD has brought you out from the land of Egypt:
7 and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD;
for that He hears your murmurings against the LORD. And what are we, that ye murmur against us?
8 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 hears your murmurings which ye murmur against Him:
And what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
9 Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the Congregation of the children of Israel,
Come near before the LORD: for He has heard your murmurings.
10
And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke to the whole Congregation of the children of Israel,
that they looked towards the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
11
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel; Speak to them, saying,
At evening 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.
13 And it came to pass, that at evening the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay around the host.
14 And 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.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna:
for they knew not what it was.
Moses said to them, This is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.
16 This is the thing which the LORD has 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 who are in his tents.
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18 And when they measured it with an omer,
he who gathered much had nothing over;
and he who gathered little had no lack:
they gathered every man according to his eating. 2Co 8:15
19 Moses said,
Let no man leave of it until the morning.
20 Nevertheless they listened not to Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning,
and it bred worms, and stunk; and Moses was wroth with them.
21 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun became hot, it melted.
22
And 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.
23 He said to them, This is that which the LORD has said, Tomorrow is a Holy Sabbath-rest to the LORD:
bake that which ye will bake today, and boil that ye will boil; and that which remains over, lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
24 And they laid it up until the morning, as Moses ordered: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.
25 Moses said, Eat that today; for today is a Sabbath to the LORD; today ye will not find it in the field.
26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, in it there will be none.
27 And it came to pass, that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, and they found none.
28
The LORD said to Moses,
Until when refuse ye to keep My Commandments and My Laws?
29 See, for that the LORD has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives 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.
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 And the House of Israel called its name manna[what is it?]:
and it was like coriander-seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
32 Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations;
that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
33 Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna in it, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited:
they ate manna, until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
1 And 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 encamped in Rephidim:
and there was no water for the people to drink.
2 And the people contended with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink.
Moses said to them, Why chide you with me? Why do ye tempt the LORD?
3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses,
and said, Why is this that Thou have brought us up out of Egypt to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
4 Moses cried to the LORD, saying, What shall I do to this people? They are almost ready to stone me.
5
The LORD said to Moses,
Go on before the people, and take with Thee of the elders of Israel: and Thy rod,
with which Thou smote the river, take in Thy hand, and go.
6 Behold, I will stand before Thee there on the rock in Horeb; and Thou shall smite the rock,
and water shall come out of it, that the people may drink. Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
7 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?
8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 Moses said to Joshua,
Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek:
tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of GOD in My hand.
10 So 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.
11
And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed:
and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12 But Moses's hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him,
and he sat upon it: and Aaron and Hur supported 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.
13 Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 The LORD said to Moses,
Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua:
for I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under Heaven.
15 Moses built an Altar, and called the name of it JeHoVaH-nissi[banner]:
16 for he said, Because a hand was against the stead of JaH.
JeHoVaH will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
1 When Jethro the priest of Midian, Moses's 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.
2 Then Jethro, Moses's father-in-law, took Zipporah Moses's wife, after he had sent her back.
3 And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been a stranger in a foreign land.
4 And the name of the other was Eliezer; (for the God of my father, said he, was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh).
5 Jethro, Moses's father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the Mount of GOD.
6 And he said to Moses, I Thy father-in-law Jethro have come to Thee, and Thy wife, and her two sons with her.
7 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.
8 Moses told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to 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.
9 Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom He had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
10 Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians,
and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians!
11 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all GODS: for in the thing in which they dealt proudly, He was above them.
12 Jethro, Moses's 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's father-in-law before GOD.
13
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people:
and the people stood by Moses from the morning to the evening.
14 And when Moses's father-in-law saw all that he did to the people,
he said, What is this thing that Thou do to the people?
Why sit Thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by Thee from morning to evening?
15 Moses said to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to inquire of GOD.
16 When they have a matter, they come to me,
and I judge between one and another, and I make them know the Statutes of GOD, and His Laws.
17 Moses's father-in-law said to him, The thing that Thou do is not good.
18 Thou will surely wear away, both Thou, and this people that is with Thee:
for this thing is too heavy for Thee; Thou are not able to perform it thyself alone.
19 Listen now to My voice, I will give Thee counsel, and GOD shall be with Thee:
Be Thou for the people towards GOD, that Thou may bring the causes to GOD:
20 Thou shall teach them Statutes and Laws, and shall show them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do.
21 Moreover, Thou shall 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:
22 and let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring to Thee, but every small matter they shall judge:
So shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with Thee.
23 If Thou shall do this thing, and GOD command Thee so, then Thou shall be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.
24 So Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.
25 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:
26 and they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
27 Moses let his father-in-law depart; and he went his way into his own land.
1 In the third month, when the children of Israel had gone forth from the land of Egypt, the same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
2 For they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the Mount.
3 Moses went up to GOD, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, Thus shall Thou say to the House of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
4 ye have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey My voice indeed, and keep My Covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure to Me above all peoples: for all the Earth is Mine:
6 and ye shall be to Me a royal priesthood, and a Holy Nation. 1Pe 2:9
These are the words which Thou shall speak to the children of Israel.
7 Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All which the LORD has spoken we will do. Moses returned the words of the people to the LORD.
9
The LORD said to Moses,
Behold, I come to Thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with Thee,
and believe Thee forever. Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.
10 The LORD said to Moses,
Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes,
11 and be ready against the third day: for on the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai.
12 Thou shall set bounds to the people around, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up upon the Mount,
or touch the border of it: whoever touches the Mount dying, he shall die. Heb 12:20
13 There shall not a hand touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through with a dart: whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: Heb 12:20
when the ram's horn sounds long, they shall come up to the Mount.
14 Moses went down from the Mount to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15 He said to the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
16
And 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 shofar exceeding loud; so that all the people that were in the camp trembled.
17 Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet GOD; and they stood at the nether part of the Mount.
18 And Mount Sinai was altogether in a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire:
and the smoke of it ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole Mount trembled greatly.
19 And when the voice of the shofar sounded long, and grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and GOD answered him by a voice.
20
The LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the Mount: and the LORD called Moses to the top of the Mount; and Moses went up.
21 The LORD said to Moses,
Go down, charge the people, lest they break through to the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
22 And let the priests also who come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
23 Moses said to the LORD, The people cannot to come up to Mount Sinai: for Thou charged us, saying, Set bounds about the Mount, and sanctify it.
24
The LORD said to him,
Away, go down, and Thou shall come up, Thou, and Aaron with Thee:
But let not the priests and the people break through, to come up to the LORD, lest He break forth upon them.
25 So Moses went down to the people, and spoke to them.
1 [Ten Commandments 1].
GOD spoke all these words, saying,
2 I AM the LORD Thy God, who brought Thee out of the land of Egypt, from the House of Bondage,
3 Thou shall have no other GODS before Me!
4
Thou shall not make to Thee a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in Heaven above,
or that is in the Earth beneath, or that is in the water under the Earth:
5 Thou shall 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 to the third and the fourth generation of them that hate Me;
6 and showing mercy to thousands of them that loving Me, and keep My Commandments!
7
Thou shall not take the Name of the LORD Thy God in vain:
for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that takes His Name in vain!
8
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy;
9 six days Thou shall labour, and do all Thy work:
10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD Thy God: in it Thou shall not do any work,
Thou, nor Thy son, nor Thy daughter, nor Thy man-servant, nor Thy maid-servant, nor Thy cattle, nor Thy stranger that is within Thy gates:
11 for in six days the LORD made Heavens and Earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day:
therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it!
12
Honour Thy father and Thy mother;
that Thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee!
13
Thou shall not murder!
14
Thou shall not commit adultery!
15
Thou shall not steal!
16
Thou shall not bear false witness against Thy neighbour!
17
Thou shall not covet:
Thy neighbour's house, Thou shall not covet Thy neighbour's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is Thy neighbour's!
18 And all the people perceived the thunders, and the lightnings, and the voice of the shofar, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
19 And they said to Moses, Speak Thou with us, and we will hear: but let not GOD speak with us, lest we die.
20 Moses said to the people, Fear not: for GOD is come to prove you, and that His fearfulness may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where GOD was.
22 [The Covenant Code].
The LORD said to Moses,
Thus Thou shall say to the children of Israel; Ye have seen that I have talked with you from Heaven.
23 Ye shall not make with Me gods of silver, neither shall ye make to you gods of gold.
24 An Altar of Earth Thou shall make to Me, and shall sacrifice on it Thy burnt-offerings, and Thy peace-offerings,
Thy sheep, and Thy oxen: in all places where I record My Name I will come to Thee, and I will bless Thee.
25 And if Thou will make me an Altar of stone, Thou shall not build it of hewn stone: for if Thou shall lift up Thy tool upon it, Thou have polluted it;
26 neither shall Thou go up by steps to My Altar, that Thy nakedness be not uncovered on it.
1
Now these are the Judgments which Thou shall set before them.
2 If Thou shall buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall depart free for nothing.
3 If he came in by himself, he shall depart by himself: if he was married, then his wife shall depart with him.
4 If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters;
the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall depart by himself.
5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not depart free:
6 then his master shall bring him to the judges; he shall also bring him to the door,
or to the door-post: and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him forever.
7
And if a man shall sell his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not depart as the men-servants do.
8 If she shall not please her master, who has betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed:
to sell her to foreign people he shall have no power, seeing he has dealt deceitfully with her.
9 And if he has betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
10 If he shall take him another wife; her food, her clothing, and her duty of marriage shall he not diminish.
11 And if he shall not perform these three to her, then shall she depart free without money.
12
He who smites a man, so that he dies, dying, he shall die.
13 And if a man shall not lie in wait, but GOD shall deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint Thee a place where he shall flee.
14
But if a man shall come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; Thou shall take him from My Altar, that he may die.
15
He who smites his father, or his mother, dying, he shall die.
16 He who steals a man, and sells him, or if he shall be found in his hand, he dying, he shall die.
17 And he who cursing father or mother, let him die the death. Mat 15:4
18
And if men contend together, and one shall smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he shall not die, but keep his bed:
19 if he shall rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he who smote him be free:
only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
20 And if a man shall smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he shall die under his hand; he shall surely be punished.
21 Nevertheless if he shall continue a day or two, he shall not be punished; for he is his money.
22
If men shall contend, and hurt a pregnant woman, so that her fruit shall depart from her, and yet no mischief follow:
he shall surely be punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 And if any mischief shall follow, then Thou shall give life for life,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26 And if a man shall smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it shall perish, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
27 And if he shall smite out his man-servant's tooth, or his maid-servant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
28
If an ox shall gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall surely be stoned,
and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be guiltless;
29 but if the ox was accustomed to push with his horn in time past, and it has been testified to his owner, and he has not restrained him,
but that he has killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.
30 If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid upon him;
31 whether he has gored a son, or has gored a daughter, according to this Judgment shall it be done to him.
32 If the ox shall push a man-servant, or maid-servant. He shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
33
And 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 shall fall into it;
34 the owner of the pit shall make compensation, and give money to the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
35
And if one man's ox shall hurt another's that he shall die, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it, and the dead ox also they shall divide.
36 Or if it shall be known that the ox has used to push in time past, and his owner has not restrained him; he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead shall be his own.
1
If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, four sheep for a sheep.
2 If a thief shall be found breaking through, and be smitten that he dies, there shall no blood be shed for him.
3 If the sun shall have risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him: for he should make full restitution; if he owns nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
4 If the theft shall be certainly found in his hand alive, whether an ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
5
If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be consumed, 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.
6 If fire shall break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of grain, or the standing-grain, or the field shall be consumed; he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
7 If a man shall deliver to his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief shall be found, let him pay double.
8 If the thief shall not be found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges, to see whether he has put his hand to his neighbour's goods.
9
For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for clothing, or for any manner of lost thing,
which another challenge to be his: the cause of both parties shall come before the judges;
and he whom the judges shall condemn, shall pay double to his neighbour.
10 If a man shall deliver to his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast to keep; and it shall die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:
11 then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he has not put his hand to his neighbour's goods;
and the owner of it shall accept of it, and he shall not make restitution.
12 and if it shall be stolen from him. He shall make restitution to the owner of it.
13
If it shall be torn in pieces; then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.
14 And if a man shall borrow aught of his neighbour, and it shall be hurt, or die, the owner of it being not with it, he shall surely make it good.
15 But if the owner of it shall be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be a hired thing, it came for his hire.
16
And if a man shall entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
17 If her father shall utterly refuse to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dower of virgins.
18
Thou shall not allow a sorceress to live.
19
Whoever lies with a beast dying, he shall die.
20
He who sacrifices to a GOD, shall be utterly destroyed except to the LORD only.
21
Thou shall neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
23 If Thou shall afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry:
24 and My wrath shall kindle, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
25
If Thou shall lend money to any of My people that is poor by Thee, Thou shall not be to him as a creditor, neither shall Thou lay upon him interest.
26
If Thou shall at all take Thy neighbour's clothing to pledge, Thou shall deliver it to him by the setting of the sun.
27 For that is his only covering, it is his clothing for his skin: wherein shall he sleep?
And it shall come to pass, when he cries to Me, that I will hear; for I AM gracious.
28
Thou shall not revile GOD, Thou shall not speak evilly of the ruler of Thy people. Act 23:5
29
Thou shall not delay to offer the first of Thy ripe fruits, and of Thy liquors: the first-born of Thy sons shall Thou give to Me.
30 Likewise shall Thou do with Thy oxen, and with Thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his mother[dam]; on the eighth day Thou shall give it to Me.
31
And ye shall be Holy men to Me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
1
Thou shall not raise a false report: put not Thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
2 Thou shall not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shall Thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
3 neither shall Thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
4
If Thou shall meet Thy enemy's ox or his ass going astray, Thou shall surely bring it back to him again.
5 If Thou shall see the ass of him that hates Thee lying under his burden, and would forbear to help him, Thou shall surely help with him.
6 Thou shall not wrest the judgment of Thy poor in his cause.
7
Keep Thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay Thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
8 Thou shall take no gift: for the gift blinds the seeing, and perverts the words of the righteous.
9 Also Thou shall not oppress a stranger; for ye know the life of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10
And six years Thou shall sow Thy land, and shall gather in the fruits:
11 but the seventh year Thou shall 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 shall deal with Thy vineyard, and with Thy olive-yard.
12 Six days Thou shall do Thy work, and on the seventh day Thou shall rest:
that Thy ox and Thy ass may rest, and the son of Thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
13 And in all things that I have said to you be circumspect: and make no mention of the names of other GODS, neither let it be heard from Thy mouth.
14 Three times Thou shall keep a Festival to Me in the year.
15 Thou shall keep the Festival of Unleavened Bread: (Thou shall eat Unleavened Bread seven days, as I commanded Thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib;
for in it Thou came out from Egypt: and none shall appear before Me empty).
16 And the Festival of Harvest[Pentecost], the first-fruit of Thy labours, which Thou have sown in the field: and the Festival of Ingathering,
which is in the end of the year, when Thou have gathered in Thy labours out of the field.
17 Three times in the year all Thy males shall appear before the Lord JeHoVaH.
18 Thou shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of My sacrifice remain until the morning.
19 The first of the first-fruit of Thy land Thou shall bring into the House of the LORD Thy God. Thou shall not boil a kid in his mother's milk.
20 Behold, I send an Angel before Thee, to keep Thee in the way, and to bring Thee into the place which I have prepared.
21 Beware of Him, and obey His voice, provoke Him not; for He will not pardon your transgressions: for My Name is in Him.
22 But if Thou shall indeed obey His voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy to Thy enemies, and an adversary to Thy adversaries.
23 For My Angel shall go before Thee, and bring Thee in to the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites;
and I will cut them off.
24 Thou shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but Thou shall utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their pillars.
25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he will bless Thy bread, and Thy water; and I will take sickness away from the middle of Thee.
26
There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in Thy land: the number of Thy days I will fulfil.
27 I will send My fear before Thee, and will destroy all the people to whom Thou shall come, and I will make all Thy enemies turn their backs to Thee.
28 I will send hornets before Thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before Thee.
29 I will not drive them out from before Thee in one year; lest the land should become desolate, and the Beast of the Field should multiply against Thee.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before Thee, until Thou shall be increased and inherit the land.
31 I will set Thy bounds from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the river:
for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and Thou shall drive them out before Thee.
32 Thou shall make no Covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 They shall not dwell in Thy land, lest they make Thee to sin against Me: for if Thou shall serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to Thee.
[End Covenant Code].
1 And He said to Moses, Come up to the LORD, Thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off.
2 Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him.
3 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 has said will we perform.
4 Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose early in the morning, and built an Altar under the mountain, and Twelve Pillars according to the Twelve tribes of Israel.
5 He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt-offerings, and sacrificed peace-offerings of oxen to the LORD.
6 Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the Altar.
7 He took the Book of the Covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD has said will we do, and be obedient.
8 Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold, the blood of the Covenant, which the LORD has made with you concerning all these words.
9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
10 and 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 its clearness.
11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw GOD, and ate and drank.
12
The LORD said to Moses,
Come up to Me on the Mount, and be there:
and I will give Thee tables of stone, and a law, and Commandments which I have written; that Thou may teach them.
13 Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up upon the Mount of GOD.
14 He said to the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again to you: and behold, Aaron and Hur are with you:
let him who has any matters to do come to them.
15 Moses went up upon the Mount, and a cloud covered the Mount.
16 And the glory of the LORD abode upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days:
and the seventh day He called to Moses from the middle of the cloud.
17 And 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.
18 Moses went into the middle of the cloud, and ascended the Mount: and Moses was on the Mount forty days and forty nights.
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, That they bring Me an offering:
of every man that gives it willingly with his heart ye shall take My offering.
3 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver and bronze,
4 blue, purple, scarlet and crimson, and fine linen, and goats' hair.
5 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood.
6 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
7 beryl stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breast-plate.
8 And let them make Me a Sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
9 According to all that I show Thee after the pattern of the Tabernacle, and the pattern of all its instruments, even so shall ye make it.
10 [Ark of the Covenant].
And they shall make an Ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.
11 Thou shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and outside shall Thou overlay it, and shall make upon it a crown of gold around it.
12 Thou shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four quarters; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.

19
And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy-seat shall ye make the cherubim on its two ends.
20 And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; towards the mercy-seat shall the faces of the cherubim be.
21 Thou shall put the mercy-seat above upon the Ark; and in the Ark Thou shall put the testimony that I shall give Thee.
22 And there I will meet with Thee, and I will commune with Thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the Ark of the testimony,
of all things which I will give Thee in Commandment to the children of Israel.
23 Thou shall also make a table of shittim wood: its length shall be two cubits, and its breadth a cubit, and its height a cubit and a half.

28 Thou shall make the staffs of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
29 Thou shall make its dishes, and its spoons, and its covers, and its cups, to cover it with: of pure gold shall Thou make them.
30 Thou shall set upon the table show-bread before Me always.
31 Thou shall make a lampstand of pure gold: of beaten work shall the lampstand be made: Zec 4:11-14 Rev 11:4 Rev 1:20
her shaft, and her branches, her cups, her knobs, and her flowers, shall be of the same.
32 And six branches shall extend from its sides;
(three branches of the lampstand from one side,
and three branches of the lampstand from the other side).
33 Three cups made like almonds, in one branch, a knob and a flower;
and three cups made like almonds in the other branch, a knob and a flower:
so for the six branches extend from the lampstand.
34 And in the lampstand shall be four cups made like almonds, its knobs, and its flowers;
35 and a knob under two branches of the same,
and a knob under two branches of the same,
and a knob under two branches of the same,
according to the six branches that extend from out the lampstand.
36 Their knobs and their branches shall be of the same:
all of it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
37 Thou shall make its seven lamps: and they shall light its lamps, that they may give light opposed to it. Rev 1:20
38 And its tongs, and its snuff-dishes, shall be of pure gold.
39 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
40 And see, (says He) Thou should make all according to the pattern shown to Thee in the Mount. Heb 8:5

1
And take Thou to Thee Aaron Thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to Me in the priest's office,
even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.
2 Thou shall make Holy garments for Aaron Thy brother, for glory and for beauty.
3 Thou shall speak to all that are wise in heart, whom I have filled with the Spirit of Wisdom,
that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister to Me in the priest's office.
4 And these are the garments which they shall make; a breast-plate, 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 to Me in the priest's office.
5 And they shall take gold, and blue, purple, scarlet and crimson, and fine linen.
6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, of crimson, and fine twined linen, with artful work.

9
Thou shall take two beryl stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:
10 six of their names on one stone, and the six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shall Thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel:
Thou shall make them to be set in settings of gold.
12 Thou shall put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial to the children of Israel:
and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
13 Thou shall make settings of gold;
14 and two chains of pure gold at the ends; of wreathed work shall Thou make them, and fasten the wreathed chains to the ouches.
15
Thou shall make the breast-plate of judgment with artful work; after the work of the ephod Thou shall make it;

Twelve, according to their names,
like the engravings of a signet; every one with his name shall they be according to the Twelve tribes. Rev 21:12
22
Thou shall make upon the breast-plate chains at the ends of wreathed work of pure gold.
23 Thou shall make upon the breast-plate two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breast-plate.
24 Thou shall put the two wreathed chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breast-plate.
25 And the other two ends of the two wreathed chains Thou shall fasten in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod before it.
26 Thou shall make two rings of gold, and Thou shall put them upon the two ends of the breast-plate in its border, which is in the side of the ephod inward.
27 And two other rings of gold Thou shall make, and shall put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath,
towards the forepart of it, opposed to the other coupling above the woven girdle of the ephod.
28 And they shall bind the breast-plate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the woven girdle of the ephod,
and that the breast-plate be not loosed from the ephod.
29 Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breast-plate of judgment upon his heart, when he enters into the Holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually.
30 Thou shall put in the breast-plate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim[Lights and the Perfections]; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goes in before the LORD:
and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.
31 Thou shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
32 And there shall be a hole in the top of it, in the middle of it: it shall have a binding of woven work around the hole of it, as the hole of a breast-plate, that it be not rent.
33 And beneath, upon the hem of it Thou shall make pomegranates of blue, of purple, of scarlet and of crimson, around its hem; and bells of gold between them around it.
34 A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe around it.
35 And it shall be upon Aaron, to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goes in to the Holy place before the LORD, and when he comes out; that he may not die.
36
Thou shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, Holiness to the LORD.
37 Thou shall put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the front of the mitre it shall be.
38 And 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.
39 Thou shall embroider the coat of fine linen, and Thou shall make the mitre of fine linen, and Thou shall make the girdle of needle-work.
40 And for Aaron's sons Thou shall make coats, and Thou shall make for them girdles, and bonnets shall Thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.
41 Thou shall put them upon Aaron Thy brother, and on his sons with him: and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to Me in the priest's office.
42 Thou shall make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness: from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach:
43 and they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they enter in to the Tabernacle of the Congregation,
or when they come near to the Altar to minister in the Holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die.
It shall be a statute forever to him, and to his seed after him.
1 And this is the thing that Thou shall do to them to hallow them, to minister to Me in the priest's office: Take one young bull, and two rams without blemish,
2 Unleavened Bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil; of wheat flour shall Thou make them.
3 Thou shall put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bull and the two rams.
4 Aaron and his sons Thou shall bring to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and shall wash them with water.
5 Thou shall take the garments, and put upon Aaron, the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breast-plate, and gird him with the woven girdle of the ephod.
6 Thou shall put the mitre upon his head, and put the Holy crown upon the mitre.
7 Then shall Thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.
8 Thou shall bring his sons, and put coats upon them.
9 Thou shall 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 shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.
10 Thou shall cause a bull to be brought before the Tabernacle of the Congregation; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bull.
11 Thou shall kill the bull before the LORD, by the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
12 Thou shall take of the blood of the bull, and put it upon the horns of the Altar with Thy finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the Altar.
13 Thou shall take all the fat that covers the inwards, and the lobe that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the Altar.
14 But the flesh of the bull, and his skin, and his dung shall Thou burn with fire outside the camp: it is a sin-offering.
15 Thou shall also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
16 Thou shall slay the ram, and Thou shall take his blood, and sprinkle it around upon the Altar.
17 Thou shall cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and put them to his pieces, and to his head.
18 Thou shall burn the whole ram upon the Altar: it is a burnt-offering to the LORD: it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
19 Thou shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
20 Then shall 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 around.
21 Thou shall 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.
22 Also Thou shall take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that covers the inwards, and the lobe 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:
23 and 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.
24 Thou shall put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shall wave them for a wave-offering before the LORD.
25 Thou shall receive them from 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 to the LORD.
26 Thou shall 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.
27 Thou shall 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.
28 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute forever, from the children of Israel: for it is a heave-offering:
and it shall be a heave-offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace-offerings, even their heave-offering to the LORD.
29 And the Holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed in it, and to be consecrated in them.
30 And that son, that is priest in his stead, shall put them on seven days,
when he comes into the Tabernacle of the Congregation to minister in the Holy place.
31 Thou shall take the ram of the consecration, and boil his flesh in the Holy place.
32 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.
33 And they shall eat those things with which the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat of them, because they are Holy.
34 And if aught of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, shall remain until the morning, then Thou shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is Holy.
35 And thus shall Thou do to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all things which I have commanded Thee: seven days shall Thou consecrate them.
36 Thou shall offer every day a bull for a sin-offering for atonement; and Thou shall cleanse the Altar, when Thou have made an atonement for it, and Thou shall anoint it, to sanctify it.
37 Seven days Thou shall make an atonement for the Altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an Altar most Holy: whatever touches the Altar shall be Holy.
38
Now this is that which Thou shall offer upon the Altar; two lambs of the first year, day by day continually.
39 The one lamb Thou shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb Thou shall offer at evening.
40 And with the one lamb a tenth part of flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink-offering.
41 And the other lamb Thou shall offer at evening, and shall do to it according to the food-offering of the morning,
and according to its drink-offering, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
42 This 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 to Thee.
43 And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the Tabernacle shall be sanctified by My glory.
44 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.
45 I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their GOD.
46 And 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.
1 Thou shall make an Altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shall Thou make it.
2 A cubit shall be its length, and a cubit its breadth; square shall it be; and two cubits shall be its height: its horns shall be of the same.
3 Thou shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, and its sides around, and its horns; and Thou shall make to it a crown of gold around.
4 And two rings of gold shall Thou make to it under the crown of it, by its two corners, upon the two sides of it shall Thou make it; and they shall be for places for the staffs to bear it with.
5 Thou shall make the staffs of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
6 Thou shall put it before the veil that is by the Ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with Thee.
7 Aaron shall burn upon it sweet incense every morning: when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
8 And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn incense upon it; a perpetual incense before the LORD, throughout your generations.
9 Ye shall offer no strange incense upon it, nor burnt-sacrifice, nor food-offering; neither shall ye pour drink-offering upon it.
10 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 a year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most Holy to the LORD.
11 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12 When Thou take the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul to the LORD.
When Thou number them: that there may be no plague among them, when Thou number them.
13 This they shall give, every one that passes among them that are numbered, half a shekel, after the shekel of the Sanctuary:
(a shekel is twenty gerahs): a half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD.
14 Every one that passes among them that are numbered from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the LORD.
15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering to the LORD to make an atonement for your souls.
16 Thou shall take the atonement-money of the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation;
that it may be a memorial to the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
17 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
18 Thou shall also make a laver of bronze, and its foot also of bronze, to wash:
Thou shall put it between the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and Thou shall put water in it.
19 For Aaron and their sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
20 when 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 to the LORD.
21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet,
that they die not: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
22 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
23 Take Thou also to Thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels,
and of sweet cinnamon half as much, even two hundred fifty shekels,
and of sweet calamus two hundred fifty shekels,
24 and of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the Sanctuary, and of olive-oil a hin:
25 Thou shall make it an oil of Holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a Holy anointing oil.
26 Thou shall anoint the Tabernacle of the Congregation with it, and the Ark of the testimony,
27 and the table and all its vessels, and the lampstand and its vessels, and the Altar of incense,
28 and the Altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its foot.
29 Thou shall sanctify them, that they may be most Holy: whatever touches them shall be Holy.
30 Thou shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister to Me in the priest's office.
31 Thou shall speak to the children of Israel, saying,
This shall be a Holy anointing oil to Me, throughout your generations.
32 Upon 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 to you.
33 Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from His people.
34
The LORD said to Moses,
Take to Thee spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight:
35 Thou shall make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the perfumer, salted, pure and Holy:
36 Thou shall 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 to you most Holy.
37 And as for the perfume which Thou shall make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to its composition: it shall be to Thee Holy for the LORD.
38 Whoever shall make the like to that, to smell to it, shall even be cut off from His people.
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel, (the son of Uri, the son of Hur), of the tribe of Judah:
3 I have filled him with the Spirit of GOD, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
4 to devise artful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
5 and in cutting of stones to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
6 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:
7 the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the Ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is upon it, and all the furniture of the Tabernacle,
8 and the table and its furniture, and the pure lampstand with all its furniture, and the Altar of incense,
9 and the Altar of burnt-offering, with all its furniture, and the laver and its foot,
10 and the clothes of service, and the Holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,
11 and the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the Holy place: according to all that I have commanded Thee, shall they do.
12 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
13 Speak Thou also to the children of Israel, saying,
Truly My Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations;
that ye may know that I AM JeHoVaH your Sanctifier.
14 Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore: for it is Holy to you. Every one that profanes it dying, he shall die:
for whoever does any work in it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15 Six days may work be done, but in the seventh is a Holy Sabbath-rest to the LORD:
whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he dying, he shall die.
16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for an Everlasting Covenant.
17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever: for in six days the LORD made the Heaven and the Earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.
18 And to Moses, when He had made an end of communing with him upon Mount Sinai, He gave two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of GOD.
1 [The golden calf].
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the Mount, the people assembled themselves to Aaron, and said to him,
Arise, Make us GODS to go before us: for as for this Moses, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what has happened of him. Act 7:40
2 Aaron said to them, Break off the rings of gold which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.
3 And all the people broke off the rings of gold which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
4 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 are Thy gods, Israel, which brought Thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an Altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow is a Festival to the LORD.
6 And they rose early on the morrow, and offered burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings: and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 1Co 10:7
7
The LORD said to Moses,
Go, go down; for Thy people, which Thou brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
8 they have turned aside quickly from the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshiped it,
and have sacrificed to it, and said, These are Thy gods, Israel, which have brought Thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9
The LORD said to Moses,
I have seen this people, and behold it is a stiff-necked people:
10 now therefore let me alone, that My wrath may kindle against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of Thee a great nation.
11 Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why does Thy wrath kindle against Thy people,
which Thou have brought forth from the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a mighty hand?
12 Why should the Egyptians speak and say, For evil 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 relent of this evil against Thy people.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel Thy servants, to whom Thou swore by Thy own self, and said to them,
I will multiply your seed as the stars of Heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.
14 The LORD regretted of the evil which He thought to do to His people.
15 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.
16 And the tables were the work of GOD, and the writing was the writing of GOD, graven upon the tables.
17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
18 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.
19
And it came to pass as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf,
and the dancing: and Moses's anger kindled, and he cast the tables from his hands, and broke them beneath the Mount.
20 He took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
21 Moses said to Aaron, What did this people to Thee, that Thou have brought so great a sin upon them?
22 Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord kindle: Thou know the people that they are set on mischief.
23 For they said to me, Make us GODS to go before us: for as for this Moses, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what has happened of him. Act 7:40
24 I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let them break it off: So they gave it to me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
25 And when Moses saw that the people were unloosed, (for Aaron had let it loose for a derision among their enemies).
26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? Let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi assembled themselves to him.
27 He said to them, Thus says 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.
28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
29 For 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.
30
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin:
and now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I shall make an atonement for your sin.
31 Moses returned to the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
32 Yet now, if Thou will, forgive their sin: and if not, blot me, I pray Thee, out of Thy Book which Thou have written.
33
The LORD said to Moses,
Whoever has sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My Book.
34 Therefore now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to Thee:
Behold, My Angel shall go before Thee:
Nevertheless in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them.
35 The LORD smote the people, because they made the calf which Aaron made.
1
The LORD said to Moses,
Depart and go up hence, Thou and the people which Thou have brought up out of the land of Egypt,
to the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, to Thy seed will I give it.
2 I will send an Angel before Thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
3 to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the middle of Thee; for Thou are a stiff-necked people: lest I consume Thee in the way.
4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man put on him his ornaments.
5 For the LORD had said to Moses,
Say to the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people: I will come up into the middle of Thee in a moment, and consume Thee:
therefore now put off Thy ornaments from Thee, that I may know what to do to Thee.
6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, by the Mount Horeb.
7 Moses takes the tent, and pitched it outside the camp far from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
And it came to pass, that every one who sought the LORD, went out to the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which was outside the camp.
8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out to the Tabernacle, that all the people rose, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he had gone into the Tabernacle.
9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the Tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the Tabernacle, and He spoke with Moses.
10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the Tabernacle door: and all the people rose and worshiped, every man in his tent door.
11 The LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned back into the camp;
but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the Tabernacle.
12
Moses said to the LORD, See, Thou say to me,
Bring up this people: and Thou have not let me know whom Thou will send with me.
Yet Thou have said, I know Thee by name, and Thou have also found grace in My eyes.
13 Now therefore, I pray Thee, if I have found grace in Thy eyes, show me now Thy way, that I may know Thee,
that I may find grace in Thy eyes: and consider that this nation is Thy people.
14 He said, My presence shall attend Thee, and I will give Thee rest.
15 He said to him, If Thy presence shall not attend me, conduct us not hence.
16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and Thy people have found grace in Thy eyes?
Is it not in that Thou go with us? So shall we be separated, I and Thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the Earth.
17 The LORD said to Moses,
I will do this thing also that Thou have spoken: for Thou have found grace in My eyes, and I know Thee by name.
18 He said, I beseech Thee, show me Thy glory.
19 He said, I will make all My goodness pass before Thee, and I will proclaim the Name of the LORD before Thee;
I will have mercy on whom I may have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I may have compassion. Rom 9:15
20 He said, Thou cannot see My face: for there shall no man see Me, and live.
21 The LORD said, Behold, there is a place by Me, and Thou shall stand upon a Rock:
22 and it shall come to pass, while My glory passes by, that I will put Thee in a cleft of the Rock: and will cover Thee with My hand while I pass by:
23 I will take away My hand, and Thou shall see My back parts: but My face shall not be seen.
1 The LORD said to Moses,
Hew Thee two tables of stone like the first; and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables which Thou did break.
2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present thyself there to Me on the top of the Mount.
3 And 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.
4 He hewed two tables of stone, like the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to Mount Sinai,
as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
5 The LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the Name of the LORD.
6 The LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, LORD, LORD, God, merciful and gracious, patient, and abundant in goodness and truth.
7 Keeping 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) to the third and to the fourth generation.
8 Moses made haste, and bowed his head towards the Earth, and worshiped.
9 And he said, If now I have found grace in Thy eyes, Lord, let my Lord, I pray Thee,
go among us (for it is a stiff-necked people) and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Thy inheritance.
10 He said, Behold, I make a Covenant: before all Thy people I will do wonders, such as have not been done in all the Earth, nor in any nation:
and all the people among which Thou are, shall see the work of the LORD: for it is an awesome thing that I will do with Thee.
11 Observe 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 Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
12 Take heed to thyself, lest Thou make a Covenant with the inhabitants of the land where Thou go, lest it be for a snare in the middle of Thee.
13 But ye shall destroy their Altars, break their pillars, and cut down their Asherim.
14 For Thou shall worship no other god: for the LORD, whose Name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
15 lest Thou make a Covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go astray after their gods, and do sacrifice to their gods, and one call Thee, and Thou eat of his sacrifice;
16 Thou take of their daughters to Thy sons, and their daughters go astray after their gods, and make Thy sons go astray after their gods.
17 Thou shall make Thee no molten gods.
18 The Festival of Unleavened Bread shall Thou keep. Seven days shall Thou eat Unleavened Bread, as I commanded Thee,
in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib Thou came out of from Egypt.
19 All that opens the womb is Mine: and every firstling among Thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
20 But the firstling of an ass Thou shall redeem with a lamb: and if Thou shall not redeem him, then shall Thou break his neck.
All the first-born of Thy sons Thou shall redeem. And none shall appear before Me empty.
21 Six days Thou shall work, but on the seventh day Thou shall rest: in time of ploughing and in harvest Thou shall rest.
22 Thou shall observe the Festival of Weeks[Pentecost], of the first-fruit of wheat-harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the year's end.
23 Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord JeHoVaH, the God of Israel.
24 For I will drive out the nations before Thee, and enlarge Thy borders: neither shall any man desire Thy land, when Thou shall go up to appear before the LORD Thy God, three times in the year.
25 Thou shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leaven, neither shall the sacrifice of the Festival of the Passover be left until the morning.
26 The first of the first-fruit of Thy land Thou shall bring to the House of the LORD Thy God. Thou shall not boil a kid in his mother's milk.
27 The LORD said to Moses,
Write Thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a Covenant with Thee, and with Israel.
28 He was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water: and he wrote upon the tables the words of the Covenant, the Ten Commandments.
29
And it came to pass, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai;
(with the two tables of testimony in Moses's hand, when he came down from the Mount) that Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone, while He talked with him.
30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.
31 Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the Congregation returned to him; and Moses talked with them.
32 And afterward all the children of Israel came near: and he gave them in Commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in Mount Sinai.
33 And until Moses had done speaking with them, He put a veil on his face.
34 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out. He came out and spoke to the children of Israel that which He was commanded.
35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses's face shone: and Moses put back the veil upon his face, until he went in to speak with him.
1 Moses assembled all the Congregation of the children of Israel, and said to them,
These are the words which the LORD has commanded, that ye should do them.
2 Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day there shall be to you a Holy day,
a Sabbath-rest to the LORD: whoever does work in it shall be put to death.
3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the Sabbath day.
4 Moses spoke to all the Congregation of the children of Israel, saying,
This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
5 Take ye from among you an offering to the LORD: whoever is of a willing heart,
let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and bronze,
6 blue, purple, scarlet, crimson, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
7 and rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
8 and oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
9 and beryl stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breast-plate.
10 And every wise-hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD has commanded;
11 the Tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its buttons, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets,
12 the Ark, and its staffs, with the mercy-seat, and the veil of the covering,
13 the table, and its staffs, and all its vessels, and the show-bread,
14 the lampstand also for the light, and its furniture, and its lamps, with the oil for the light,
15 and the incense-Altar, and its staffs, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entrance of the Tabernacle,
16 the Altar of burnt-offering, with its bronze grate, its staffs, and all its vessels, the laver and its foot,
17 the hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,
18 the pins of the Tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,
19 the clothes 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.
20 And all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
21 And they came, every man whose heart excited him, 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.
22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted,
and brought bracelets, and rings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold; and every man that offered, offered an offering of gold to the LORD.
23 And every man, with whom was found blue, purple, scarlet, crimson, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them.
24 Every one that offered an offering of silver and bronze brought the LORD's offering: and each with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.
25 And all the women that were wise-hearted spun with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, scarlet and of crimson, and of fine linen.
26 And all the women whose heart moved them in wisdom spun goats' hair.
27 And the rulers brought beryl stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breast-plate;
28 and spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering to 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.
30 Moses said to the children of Israel,
See, the LORD has called by name Bezaleel, (the son of Uri, the son of Hur), of the tribe of Judah;
31 he has filled him with the Spirit of GOD, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
32 and to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
33 and in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of artful work.
34 He has put in his heart that he may teach, both he and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 Them has He filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the skilful workmen, and of the embroiderer,
in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, in crimson, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise artful work.
1
Then 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.
2 Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom,
even every man whose heart excited him to come to the work to do it.
3 And they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the Sanctuary, to make it.
And they brought yet to him free-offerings every morning.
4 And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the Sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made.
5 And they spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.
6 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.
7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
8
And every wise-hearted man among them that wrought the work of the Tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, blue, purple, scarlet and crimson: he made them with cherubim of artful work.
9 The length of one curtain was twenty eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.
10 He coupled the five curtains one to another: and the other five curtains he coupled one to another.
11 He made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the extremity of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.
12 Fifty loops he made in one curtain, and fifty loops he made in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to another.
13 He made fifty buttons of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the buttons. So it became one Tabernacle.
14
He made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the Tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
15 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.
16 He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
17 He made fifty loops upon the outermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which couples the second.
18 He made fifty buttons of bronze to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
19 He made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.
20
He made boards for the Tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.
21 The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.
22 One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another; thus did he make for all the boards of the Tabernacle.
23 He made boards for the Tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward.
24 And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards;
two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
25 And for the other side of the Tabernacle which is towards the north corner, he made twenty boards.
26 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27 And for the sides of the Tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28 And two boards he made for the corners of the Tabernacle in the two sides.
29 And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at its top, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
30 And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
31 He made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the Tabernacle,
32 and 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.
33 He made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.
34 He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
35 He made a veil of blue, purple, scarlet and crimson, and fine twined linen: with cherubim he made it of artful work.
36 He made to it four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.
37 He made a hanging for the Tabernacle-door of blue, purple, scarlet, crimson, and fine twined linen, of needle-work;
38 and the five pillars of it, with their hooks: and he overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of bronze.
1 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.
2 He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a crown of gold to it around.
3 He cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four quarters of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.
4 He made staffs of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
5 He put the staffs into the rings by the sides of the Ark, to bear the Ark.
6 He made the mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and one cubit and a half the breadth of it.
7 He made two cherubim of gold, of beaten work he made them, on the two ends of the mercy-seat;
8 one 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 cherubim on the two ends of it.
9 And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy-seat,
with their faces one to another; even towards the mercy-seat were the faces of the cherubim.
10 He made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height:
11 and he overlaid it with pure gold, and made to it a crown of gold around.
12 Also he made to it a border of a handbreadth around; and made a crown of gold for its border around.
13 He cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four quarters that were in its four feet.
14 Opposed to the border were the rings, the places for the staffs, to bear the table.
15 He made the staffs of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
16 He made the vessels which were upon the table, its dishes, and its spoons, and its cups, and its covers to cover with, of pure gold.
17 He made the lampstand of pure gold; of beaten work he made the lampstand;
her shaft, and her branches, her cups, her knobs, and her flowers were of the same: Exo 25:31
18 and six branches shall extend from its sides; (three branches of the lampstand from one side,
and three branches of the lampstand from the other side).
19 Three cups made like almonds, in one branch, a knob and a flower;
and three cups made like almonds in the other branch, a knob and a flower:
so for the six branches extend from the lampstand.
20 And in the lampstand shall be four cups made like almonds, its knobs, and its flowers:
21 and a knob under two branches of the same,
and a knob under two branches of the same,
and a knob under two branches of the same,
according to the six branches that extend from it.
22 Their knobs and their branches were of the same:
all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.
23 He made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, of pure gold.
24 Of a talent of pure gold he made it, and all its vessels.
25 He made the incense-Altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was square; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns of it were of the same.
26 He overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and its sides around, and its horns: also he made to it a crown of gold around.
27 He made two rings of gold for it under its crown, by the two corners of it, upon its two sides, to be places for the staffs to bear it with.
28 He made the staffs of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29 He made the Holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of spices, according to the work of the perfumer.
1 He made the Altar of burnt-offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length of it, and five cubits the breadth of it; it was square; and its height was three cubits.
2 He made its horns on the four quarters of it; its horns were of the same: and he overlaid it with bronze.
3 He made all the vessels of the Altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, and the flesh-hooks, and the fire-pans: all the vessels of it he made of bronze.
4 He made for the Altar a bronze grate of net-work under the rim of it beneath to the middle of it.
5 He cast four rings for the four quarters of the grate of bronze, to be places for the staffs.
6 He made the staffs of shittim wood, and overlaid them with bronze.
7 He put the staffs into the rings on the sides of the Altar, to bear it with; he made the Altar hollow with boards.
8 He made the laver of bronze, and the foot of it of bronze, of the looking-glasses of the women assembling, who assembled at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
9 He made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits.
10
Their pillars were twenty, and their bronze sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, were of silver.
11 And for the north side, the hangings were a hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of bronze twenty: the hooks of the pillars, and their filets, of silver.
12 And 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.
13 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
14 The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15 And 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.
16 All the hangings of the court around were of fine twined linen.
17 And the sockets for the pillars were of bronze; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver; and the overlaying of their capitals of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.
18 And the hanging for the court-gate was needle-work, of blue, purple, scarlet, crimson, 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.
19 And their pillars were four, and their sockets of bronze four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their fillets of silver.
20 And all the pins of the Tabernacle, and of the court around, were of bronze.
21 This 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.
22 Bezaleel, (the son of Uri, the son of Hur), of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.
23 And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skilful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, in purple, in scarlet, in crimson, and fine linen.
24
All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the Holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty nine talents, and seven hundred thirty shekels, after the shekel of the Sanctuary.
25 And the silver of those that were numbered of the Congregation was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred seventy five shekels, after the shekel of the Sanctuary:
26 a bekah for each, 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 + three thousand five hundred fifty[603550] men.
27 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the Sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; a hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
28 and of the thousand seven hundred seventy five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their capitals, and filleted them,
29 and the bronze of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand four hundred shekels.
30 and with this he made the sockets to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the bronze Altar, and the bronze grate for it, and all the vessels of the Altar,
31 and the sockets of the court around, and the sockets of the court-gate, and all the pins of the Tabernacle, and all the pins of the court around.
1 And of the blue, purple, scarlet and crimson, they made clothes of service, to do service in the Holy place, and made the Holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.
2 He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, crimson, and fine twined linen.
3 And they beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, in the purple, in the scarlet, in the crimson, and in the fine linen, with artful work.
4 They made shoulder-pieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.
5 And the woven girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to its work; of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, crimson, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
6
And they wrought beryl stones enclosed in settings of gold, graven as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
7 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.
8
He made the breast-plate of artful work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, crimson, and fine twined linen.
9 It was square; they made the breast-plate double: a span was the length of it, and a span the breadth of it, being doubled.
10 And they set in it four rows of stones:
the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald: this was the first row. Rev 21:19-21
11 And the second row, a chalcedony, a sapphire, and a sardonyx. Rev 21:19-21
12 And the third row, a chrysoprase, a jacinth, and an amethyst. Rev 21:19-21
13 And the fourth row, a chrysolite, a beryl, and a jasper: Rev 21:19-21
they were enclosed in settings of gold in their settings.
14 And 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. Rev 21:12
15 And they made upon the breast-plate chains at the ends, of wreathed work of pure gold.
16 And they made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings in the two ends of the breast-plate.
17 And they put the two wreathed chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breast-plate.
18 And the two ends of the two wreathed chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, before it.
19 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breast-plate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.
20 And they made two other rings of gold, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, towards the forepart of it, opposed to its coupling, above the woven girdle of the ephod.
21 And they bound the breast-plate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue,
that it might be above the woven girdle of the ephod, and that the breast-plate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22
He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
23 And there was a hole in the middle of the robe, as the hole of a breast-plate, with a band around the hole, that it should not rend.
24 And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, scarlet, crimson, and fine twined linen.
25 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, around between the pomegranates;
26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.
27
And they made coats of fine linen, of woven work, for Aaron and for his sons,
28 and a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,
29 and a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, scarlet and crimson, of needle-work; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30
And 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.
31 And they tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
32
Thus 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.
33 And they brought the Tabernacle to Moses, the tent, and all its furniture, its buttons, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets,
34 and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the veil of the covering,
35 the Ark of the testimony, and its staffs, and the mercy-seat,
36 the table, and all its vessels, and the show-bread,
37 the pure lampstand, with its lamps, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all its vessels, and the oil for light,
38 and the golden Altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the Tabernacle-door,
39 the bronze Altar, and its grate of bronze, its staffs, and all its vessels, the laver and its foot,
40 the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, and the hanging for the court-gate, its cords, and its pins, and all the vessels of the service of the Tabernacle, for the tent of the Congregation,
41 the clothes 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.
42 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.
43 Moses looked 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.
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 On the first day of the first month shall Thou set up the Tabernacle of the tent of the Congregation.
3 Thou shall put in it the Ark of the testimony, and cover the Ark with the veil.
4 Thou shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and Thou shall bring in the lampstand, and light its lamps.
5 Thou shall set the Altar of gold for the incense before the Ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the Tabernacle.
6 Thou shall set the Altar of the, burnt-offering before the door of the Tabernacle of the tent of the Congregation.
7 Thou shall set the laver between the tent of the Congregation and the Altar, and shall put water in it.
8 Thou shall set up the court around, and hang up the hanging at the court-gate.
9 Thou shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the Tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shall hallow it, and all its vessels: and it shall be Holy.
10 Thou shall anoint the Altar of the burnt-offering and all its vessels, and sanctify the Altar: and it shall be an Altar most Holy.
11 Thou shall anoint the laver and its foot, and sanctify it.
12 Thou shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and wash them with water.
13 Thou shall put upon Aaron the Holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister to Me in the priest's office.
14 Thou shall bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
15 Thou shall anoint them, as Thou did anoint their father, that they may minister to Me in the priest's office:
for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
16 Thus did Moses; according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
17 And 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.
18 Moses reared up the Tabernacle, and fastened its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and reared up its pillars.
19 He spread abroad the tent over the Tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
20
He took and put the testimony into the Ark, and set the staffs on the Ark, and put the mercy-seat above upon the Ark.
21 He brought the Ark into the Tabernacle, and set up the veil of the covering, and covered the Ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22
He put the table in the tent of the Congregation, upon the side of the Tabernacle northward, outside the veil.
23 He set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
24
He put the lampstand in the tent of the Congregation, opposed to the table, on the side of the Tabernacle southward.
25 He lighted the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
26
He put the golden Altar in the tent of the Congregation, before the veil.
27 He burnt sweet incense on it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
28
He set up the hanging at the door of the Tabernacle.
29 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 food-offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30
He set the laver between the tent of the Congregation and the Altar, and put water there, to wash with.
31 Moses, and Aaron, and his sons, washed their hands and their feet thereat:
32 when they went into the tent of the Congregation, and when they came near to the Altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
33
He reared up the court around the Tabernacle and the Altar, and set up the hanging of the court-gate: so Moses finished the work.
34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the Congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle.
35 Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the Congregation, because the cloud abode upon it, and the glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle.
36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the Tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
37 but if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not until the day that it was taken up.
38 For 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.
