Now these
are the names
of the children
of Israel,
which came
into Egypt;
every man
and his household
came
with Jacob.
Reuben,
Simeon, Levi,
and Judah,
Issachar,
Zebulun,
and Benjamin,
Dan,
and Naphtali, Gad,
and Asher.
And all
the souls
that came
out of the loins
of Jacob
were seventy souls:
for Joseph
was in Egypt already.
And Joseph died,
and all
his brethren,
and all that generation.
And the children
of Israel
were fruitful,
and increased abundantly,
and multiplied,
and waxed
exceeding mighty;
and the land
was filled with them.
Now there arose
up a new king
over Egypt,
which knew not
Joseph.
And he
said
unto his people,
Behold,
the people
of the children
of Israel
are
more
and mightier
than we:
Come on,
let us
deal wisely
with them;
lest
they multiply,
and it
come
to pass,
that,
when there falleth
out any war,
they join also
unto our enemies,
and
fight against us,
and so
get them up
out of the land.
Therefore they
did set
over them taskmasters
to afflict them
with their burdens.
And they
built
for Pharaoh
treasure cities,
Pithom and Raamses.
But the more
they afflicted them,
the more
they multiplied
and grew.
And
they were grieved
because of the children
of Israel.
And the Egyptians
made
the children
of Israel
to serve
with rigour:
And they
made
their lives bitter
with hard bondage,
in morter,
and in brick,
and in all manner
of service
in the field:
all their service,
wherein they
made them serve,
was with rigour.
And
the king
of Egypt
spake to the Hebrew midwives,
of which
the name
of the one
was Shiphrah,
and the name
of the other Puah:
And he said,
When
ye do
the office
of a midwife
to the Hebrew women,
and see them
upon the stools;
if it
be a son,
then
ye shall kill him:
but
if it
be a daughter,
then
she shall live.
But the midwives
feared God,
and did not
as the king
of Egypt
commanded them,
but saved
the men children alive.
And the king
of Egypt
called for
the midwives,
and
said unto them,
Why have
ye done
this thing,
and have saved
the men children alive?
And the midwives
said
unto Pharaoh,
Because the Hebrew women
are not
as the Egyptian women;
for they
are lively,
and are delivered
ere the midwives
come in unto them.
Therefore God
dealt well
with the midwives:
and the people multiplied,
and waxed very mighty.
And it
came
to pass,
because
the midwives
feared God,
that he
made them houses.
And Pharaoh
charged all
his people,
saying,
Every son
that is born
ye shall cast
into the river,
and every daughter
ye shall save alive.
And there went a man
of the house
of Levi,
and took to wife
a daughter
of Levi.
And the woman conceived,
and bare a son:
and
when
she saw him that
he was a goodly child,
she hid him
three months.
And
when
she could not longer
hide him,
she took for him an ark
of bulrushes,
and daubed it
with slime
and with pitch,
and put
the child therein;
and she
laid it
in the flags
by the river's brink.
And his sister
stood afar off,
to wit
what would be done
to him.
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.
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.
Then said
his sister
to Pharaoh's daughter,
Shall I
go and call
to thee a nurse
of the Hebrew women,
that she
may nurse
the child
for thee?
And Pharaoh's daughter
said
to her,
Go.
And the maid
went
and called
the child's mother.
And Pharaoh's daughter
said
unto her,
Take this child away,
and nurse it
for me,
and
I will give
thee thy wages.
And the women
took the child,
and nursed it.
And the child grew,
and
she brought him
unto Pharaoh's daughter,
and he
became
her son.
And
she called
his name Moses:
and she said,
Because I
drew him
out of the water.
And it
came to pass
in those days,
when Moses
was grown,
that he
went out
unto his brethren,
and looked
on their burdens:
and he
spied
an Egyptian
smiting an Hebrew,
one
of his brethren.
And he
looked
this way and
that way,
and when he
saw that
there was
no man,
he slew the Egyptian,
and hid him
in the sand.
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,
Wherefore
smitest
thou thy fellow?
And he said,
Who made thee
a prince
and a judge
over us?
intendest
thou to kill me,
as thou
killedst the Egyptian?
And Moses feared,
and said,
Surely this thing
is known.
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.
Now
the priest
of Midian
had seven daughters:
and
they came
and drew water,
and filled
the troughs
to water
their father's flock.
And the shepherds
came and drove them away:
but Moses
stood up
and helped them,
and watered
their flock.
And
when they
came
to Reuel
their father,
he said,
How is it that
ye are come so
soon to day?
And they said,
An Egyptian
delivered us
out of the hand
of the shepherds,
and also drew
water enough
for us,
and watered
the flock.
And he
said
unto his daughters,
And
where is he?
why is it that
ye have left
the man?
call him,
that he
may eat bread.
And Moses
was content
to dwell
with the man:
and
he gave Moses Zipporah
his daughter.
And
she bare him a son,
and
he called
his name Gershom:
for he said,
I have been
a stranger
in a strange land.
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
came up
unto God
by reason
of the bondage.
And God
heard their groaning,
and God
remembered
his covenant
with Abraham,
with Isaac,
and
with Jacob.
And God
looked
upon the children
of Israel,
and God
had
respect unto them.
Now Moses
kept
the flock
of Jethro
his father
in law,
the priest
of Midian:
and he
led
the flock
to the backside
of the desert,
and came
to the mountain
of God,
even to Horeb.
And
the angel
of the LORD
appeared unto him
in a flame
of fire
out of the midst
of a bush:
and he looked,
and,
behold,
the bush
burned with fire,
and the bush
was not consumed.
And Moses said,
I will now turn aside,
and see
this great sight,
why the bush
is not burnt.
And
when the LORD
saw that
he turned aside
to see,
God called
unto him
out of the midst
of the bush,
and said,
Moses, Moses.
And he said,
Here am I.
And he said,
Draw not nigh hither:
put off thy shoes from
off thy feet,
for the place
whereon
thou standest
is holy ground.
Moreover he said,
I am
the God
of thy father,
the God
of Abraham,
the God of Isaac,
and the God
of Jacob.
And Moses
hid his face;
for he
was afraid
to look
upon God.
And the LORD said,
I have surely seen
the affliction
of my people which
are in Egypt,
and have heard
their cry
by reason
of their taskmasters;
for I
know their sorrows;
And
I am come down
to deliver them
out of the hand
of the Egyptians,
and
to bring them up
out of that land
unto a good land
and a large,
unto a land
flowing with milk
and honey;
unto the place
of the Canaanites,
and the Hittites,
and the Amorites,
and the Perizzites,
and the Hivites,
and the Jebusites.
Now therefore,
behold,
the cry
of the children
of Israel
is come unto me:
and
I have also seen
the oppression
wherewith
the Egyptians
oppress them.
Come
now therefore,
and
I will send thee
unto Pharaoh,
that thou
mayest bring forth my people
the children
of Israel
out of Egypt.
And Moses
said
unto God,
Who am I,
that I
should go
unto Pharaoh,
and that
I should bring forth
the children
of Israel
out of Egypt?
And he said,
Certainly I
will be
with thee;
and this
shall be a token
unto thee,
that I
have sent thee:
When
thou hast brought forth
the people
out of Egypt,
ye shall serve God
upon this mountain.
And Moses
said
unto God, Behold,
when I come
unto the children
of Israel,
and
shall say unto them,
The God
of your fathers
hath sent me
unto you;
and
they shall say to me,
What is his name?
what shall
I say unto them?
And God
said
unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM:
and he said,
Thus shalt thou
say
unto the children
of Israel,
I AM
hath sent me
unto you.
And God
said moreover
unto Moses,
Thus shalt thou
say
unto the children
of Israel,
the LORD God
of your fathers,
the God
of Abraham,
the God of Isaac,
and the God
of Jacob,
hath sent me
unto you:
this is my name
for ever,
and this
is my memorial
unto all generations.
Go,
and gather
the elders
of Israel
together,
and
say unto them,
The LORD God
of your fathers,
the God
of Abraham,
of Isaac,
and of Jacob,
appeared unto me,
saying,
I have surely visited you,
and seen
that which
is done to you
in Egypt:
And I
have said,
I will bring
you up
out of the affliction
of Egypt
unto the land
of the Canaanites,
and the Hittites,
and the Amorites,
and the Perizzites,
and the Hivites,
and the Jebusites,
unto a land
flowing with milk
and honey.
And they
shall hearken
to thy voice:
and
thou shalt come,
thou
and the elders
of Israel,
unto the king
of Egypt,
and
ye shall say unto him,
The LORD God
of the Hebrews
hath met with us:
and now let us go,
we beseech thee,
three days' journey
into the wilderness,
that we
may sacrifice
to the LORD our God.
And I
am sure
that
the king
of Egypt
will not let
you go,
no,
not by a mighty hand.
And
I will stretch out
my hand,
and smite Egypt
with all my wonders
which I
will do
in the midst
thereof:
and after that
he will let
you go.
And I
will give
this people favour
in the sight
of the Egyptians:
and it
shall come
to pass,
that,
when ye go,
ye shall not go empty.
But every woman
shall borrow
of her neighbour,
and of her
that sojourneth in her house,
jewels of silver,
and jewels
of gold,
and raiment:
and
ye shall put them
upon your sons,
and
upon your daughters;
and
ye shall spoil
the Egyptians.
And Moses
answered
and said,
But,
behold,
they will not believe me,
nor hearken
unto my voice:
for they
will say,
The LORD
hath not appeared
unto thee.
And the LORD
said unto him,
What
is
that in thine hand?
And he said,
A rod.
And he said,
Cast it
on the ground.
And he cast it
on the ground,
and it
became
a serpent;
and Moses
fled from
before it.
And the LORD
said
unto Moses,
Put forth thine hand,
and take it
by the tail.
And
he put forth
his hand,
and caught it,
and it
became
a rod
in his hand:
That they
may believe that
the LORD God
of their fathers,
the God
of Abraham,
the God of Isaac,
and the God
of Jacob,
hath appeared
unto thee.
And the LORD
said furthermore unto him,
Put
now thine hand
into thy bosom.
And he put
his hand
into his bosom:
and
when
he took it out,
behold,
his hand
was leprous
as snow.
And he said,
Put thine hand
into thy bosom again.
And he put
his hand
into his bosom again;
and plucked
it out of his bosom,
and,
behold,
it was turned again
as his other flesh.
And it
shall come
to pass,
if they
will not believe thee,
neither hearken
to the voice
of the first sign,
that they
will believe
the voice
of the latter sign.
And it
shall come
to pass,
if they
will not believe also
these two signs,
neither hearken
unto thy voice,
that thou
shalt take
of the water
of the river,
and pour it
upon the dry land:
and the water
which thou
takest out of the river
shall become blood
upon the dry land.
And Moses
said
unto the LORD,
O my LORD,
I am not eloquent,
neither heretofore,
nor
since thou
hast spoken
unto thy servant:
but I
am slow
of speech,
and
of a slow tongue.
And the LORD
said unto him,
Who hath made
man's mouth?
or who
maketh the dumb,
or deaf,
or the seeing,
or the blind?
have not I the LORD?
Now therefore go,
and I
will be
with thy mouth,
and teach thee
what
thou shalt say.
And he said,
O my LORD,
send,
I pray thee,
by the hand
of him whom
thou wilt send.
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 cometh forth
to meet thee:
and
when
he seeth thee,
he will be glad
in his heart.
And
thou
shalt speak unto him,
and put
words
in his mouth:
and I
will be
with thy mouth,
and
with his mouth,
and will teach you
what ye shall do.
And
he shall be thy spokesman
unto the people:
and he
shall be,
even
he shall be
to thee
instead of a mouth,
and
thou shalt be
to him
instead of God.
And
thou shalt take
this rod
in thine hand,
wherewith
thou shalt do signs.
And Moses
went
and returned
to Jethro
his father
in law,
and
said unto him,
Let me go,
I pray thee,
and return
unto my brethren
which are in Egypt,
and see
whether they
be yet alive.
And Jethro
said
to Moses,
Go in peace.
And the LORD
said
unto Moses
in Midian, Go,
return
into Egypt:
for all
the men
are dead which sought
thy life.
And Moses
took his wife
and his sons,
and set them
upon an ass,
and he
returned
to the land
of Egypt:
and Moses
took
the rod
of God
in his hand.
And the LORD
said
unto Moses,
When thou
goest
to return
into Egypt,
see that thou
do all those wonders
before Pharaoh,
which I
have put in
thine hand:
but
I will harden
his heart,
that he
shall not let
the people go.
And
thou shalt say
unto Pharaoh,
Thus saith the LORD,
Israel is my son,
even my firstborn:
And
I say unto thee,
Let my son go,
that he
may serve me:
and
if thou
refuse
to let him go,
behold,
I will slay
thy son,
even thy firstborn.
And it
came
to pass
by the way
in the inn,
that the LORD
met him,
and sought
to kill him.
Then Zipporah
took a sharp stone,
and cut off
the foreskin
of her son,
and cast it
at his feet,
and said,
Surely a bloody husband art
thou to me.
So he let him go:
then she said,
A bloody husband
thou art,
because
of the circumcision.
And the LORD
said
to Aaron,
Go into the wilderness
to meet Moses.
And he went,
and met him
in the mount
of God,
and kissed him.
And Moses
told Aaron all
the words
of the LORD
who had sent him,
and all
the signs
which he
had commanded him.
And Moses
and Aaron
went
and gathered
together all the elders
of the children
of Israel:
And Aaron
spake all
the words
which the LORD
had spoken
unto Moses,
and did
the signs
in the sight
of the people.
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 worshipped.
And afterward Moses
and Aaron went in,
and told Pharaoh,
Thus
saith
the LORD God
of Israel,
Let my people go,
that they
may hold
a feast
unto me
in the wilderness.
And 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.
And they said,
The God
of the Hebrews
hath met with us:
let us go,
we pray thee,
three days' journey
into the desert,
and sacrifice
unto the LORD our God;
lest
he fall upon us
with pestilence,
or with the sword.
And
the king
of Egypt
said unto them,
Wherefore do ye,
Moses and Aaron,
let the people
from their works?
get you
unto your burdens.
And Pharaoh said,
Behold,
the people
of the land
now are many,
and
ye make them
rest
from their burdens.
And Pharaoh
commanded
the same day
the taskmasters
of the people,
and their officers,
saying,
Ye shall no more
give the people straw
to make brick,
as heretofore:
let them
go and gather straw
for themselves.
And the tale
of the bricks,
which they
did make heretofore,
ye shall lay upon them;
ye shall not diminish ought
thereof:
for they
be idle;
therefore they cry,
saying,
Let us
go and sacrifice
to our God.
Let there
more work
be laid
upon the men,
that they
may labour therein;
and let them
not regard
vain words.
And the taskmasters
of the people went out,
and their officers,
and
they spake to the people,
saying,
Thus saith Pharaoh,
I will not give
you straw.
Go ye,
get you straw
where ye
can find it:
yet not ought
of your work
shall be diminished.
So the people
were scattered abroad
throughout all
the land
of Egypt
to gather stubble
instead of straw.
And the taskmasters hasted them,
saying,
Fulfil your works,
your daily tasks,
as when
there was straw.
And the officers
of the children
of Israel,
which Pharaoh's taskmasters
had set over them,
were beaten,
and demanded,
Wherefore
have
ye not fulfilled
your task
in making
brick both yesterday
and
to day,
as heretofore?
Then the officers
of the children
of Israel
came
and cried
unto Pharaoh,
saying,
Wherefore
dealest
thou thus
with thy servants?
There is
no straw
given
unto thy servants,
and
they say to us,
Make brick:
and,
behold,
thy servants
are beaten;
but the fault
is in thine own people.
But he said,
Ye are idle,
ye are idle:
therefore ye say,
Let us
go and do sacrifice
to the LORD.
Go therefore now,
and work;
for there shall
no straw
be given you,
yet shall
ye deliver
the tale
of bricks.
And the officers
of the children
of Israel
did see
that they
were in evil case,
after it
was said,
Ye shall not minish ought
from your bricks
of your daily task.
And
they met Moses
and Aaron,
who stood
in the way,
as they came forth
from Pharaoh:
And
they
said unto them,
The LORD
look upon you,
and judge;
because
ye have made
our savour
to be abhorred
in the eyes
of Pharaoh,
and in the eyes
of his servants,
to put
a sword
in their hand
to slay us.
And Moses
returned
unto the LORD,
and said,
LORD,
wherefore hast
thou so evil
entreated
this people?
why is it
that thou
hast sent me?
For since
I came
to Pharaoh
to speak
in thy name,
he hath done evil
to this people;
neither hast
thou delivered
thy people
at all.
Then the LORD
said
unto Moses,
Now shalt
thou see
what
I will do
to Pharaoh:
for with a strong hand
shall
he let them go,
and
with a strong hand
shall
he drive them
out of his land.
And God
spake unto Moses,
and
said unto him,
I am the LORD:
And I
appeared
unto Abraham,
unto Isaac,
and unto Jacob,
by the name
of God Almighty,
but by my name JEHOVAH
was
I not known
to them.
And
I have also established
my covenant
with them,
to give them the land
of Canaan,
the land
of their pilgrimage,
wherein they
were strangers.
And
I have also heard
the groaning
of the children
of Israel,
whom
the Egyptians
keep in bondage;
and
I have remembered
my covenant.
Wherefore say
unto the children
of Israel,
I am the LORD,
and I
will bring
you out
from under the burdens
of the Egyptians,
and
I will rid you
out of their bondage,
and
I will redeem you
with a stretched out arm,
and
with great judgments:
And I
will take
you to me
for a people,
and
I will be
to you
a God:
and
ye shall know that
I am the LORD
your God,
which bringeth you out
from under the burdens
of the Egyptians.
And I
will bring
you in
unto the land,
concerning the which
I did swear
to give it
to Abraham,
to Isaac,
and to Jacob;
and
I will give it you
for an heritage:
I am the LORD.
And Moses
spake so
unto the children
of Israel:
but
they hearkened not
unto Moses
for anguish
of spirit,
and for cruel bondage.
And the LORD
spake unto Moses,
saying,
Go in,
speak
unto Pharaoh king
of Egypt,
that he let
the children
of Israel
go out of his land.
And Moses
spake before the LORD,
saying,
Behold,
the children
of Israel
have not hearkened unto me;
how then
shall
Pharaoh hear me,
who am of uncircumcised lips?
And the LORD
spake unto Moses
and unto Aaron,
and gave them
a charge
unto the children
of Israel,
and
unto Pharaoh king
of Egypt,
to bring the children
of Israel
out of the land
of Egypt.
These be

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

And their forty sockets
of silver;
two sockets
under one board,
and two

And for the sides
of the tabernacle westward
thou shalt make
six boards.
And two
boards
shalt
thou make
for the corners
of the tabernacle
in the two sides.
And
they
shall be coupled together beneath,
and
they shall be coupled
together above
the head of it
unto one ring:
thus
shall
it be
for them both;
they shall be
for the two corners.
And
they shall be
eight boards,
and their sockets
of silver,
sixteen sockets;
two sockets
under one board,
and two
sockets
under another board.
And
thou shalt make
bars
of shittim wood;
five for the boards
of the one side
of the tabernacle,
And five bars
for the boards
of the other side
of the tabernacle,
and five bars
for the boards
of the side
of the tabernacle,
for the two
sides westward.
And the middle bar
in the midst
of the boards
shall reach
from end to end.
And
thou shalt overlay
the boards
with gold,
and make
their rings
of gold
for places
for the bars:
and
thou shalt overlay
the bars
with gold.
And
thou shalt rear
up the tabernacle
according to the fashion thereof which
was shewed thee
in the mount.
And
thou shalt make
a vail of blue,
and purple,
and scarlet,
and fine twined linen
of cunning work:
with cherubims
shall
it be made:
And
thou shalt hang it
upon four pillars
of shittim wood
overlaid
with gold:
their hooks
shall be of gold,
upon the four
sockets
of silver.
And
thou shalt hang up
the vail
under the taches,
that thou
mayest bring in thither
within the vail
the ark
of the testimony:
and the vail
shall divide
unto you
between the holy place
and the most holy.
And
thou shalt put
the mercy seat
upon the ark
of the testimony
in the most holy place.
And
thou shalt set
the table
without the vail,
and the candlestick
over against the table
on the side
of the tabernacle
toward the south:
and
thou shalt put
the table
on the north side.
And
thou shalt make
an hanging

of the tent,
of blue,
and purple,
and scarlet,
and fine twined linen,
wrought with needlework.
And
thou shalt make
for the hanging five pillars
of shittim wood,
and overlay them
with gold,
and their hooks
shall be of gold:
and
thou shalt cast five sockets
of brass
for them.
And
thou shalt make
an altar
of shittim wood,
five cubits long,
and five cubits broad;
the altar
shall be foursquare:
and the height
thereof shall be
three cubits.
And
thou shalt make
the horns
of it
upon the four
corners thereof:
his horns
shall be
of the same:
and
thou shalt overlay
it with brass.
And
thou shalt make
his pans
to receive his ashes,
and his shovels,
and his basons,
and his fleshhooks,
and his firepans:
all the vessels
thereof thou
shalt make
of brass.
And
thou shalt make
for it a grate
of network
of brass;
and upon the net
shalt
thou make
four brasen rings
in the four
corners thereof.
And
thou shalt put it
under the compass
of the altar
beneath,
that the net
may be even
to the midst
of the altar.
And
thou shalt make staves
for the altar,
staves
of shittim wood,
and overlay them
with brass.
And the staves
shall be put
into the rings,
and the staves
shall be
upon the two
sides
of the altar,
to bear it.
Hollow with boards
shalt thou
make it:
as it was shewed thee
in the mount,
so shall
they make it.
And
thou shalt make
the court
of the tabernacle:
for the south side
southward there shall be
hangings
for the court
of fine twined linen
of an hundred cubits
long for
one side:
And the twenty pillars
thereof
and their twenty sockets

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