- Book 01 Genesis
-
- 001:001 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
-
- 001:002 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was
- upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon
- the face of the waters.
-
- 001:003 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
-
- 001:004 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the
- light from the darkness.
-
- 001:005 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called
- Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
-
- 001:006 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the
- waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
-
- 001:007 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were
- under the firmament from the waters which were above the
- firmament: and it was so.
-
- 001:008 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the
- morning were the second day.
-
- 001:009 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered
- together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it
- was so.
-
- 001:010 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together
- of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
-
- 001:011 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb
- yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his
- kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
-
- 001:012 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed
- after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in
- itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
-
- 001:013 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
-
- 001:014 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the
- heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for
- signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
-
- 001:015 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to
- give light upon the earth: and it was so.
-
- 001:016 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the
- day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars
- also.
-
- 001:017 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light
- upon the earth,
-
- 001:018 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the
- light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
-
- 001:019 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
-
- 001:020 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving
- creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth
- in the open firmament of heaven.
-
- 001:021 And God created great whales, and every living creature that
- moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their
- kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that
- it was good.
-
- 001:022 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and
- fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the
- earth.
-
- 001:023 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
-
- 001:024 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature
- after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the
- earth after his kind: and it was so.
-
- 001:025 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle
- after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth
- after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
-
- 001:026 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
- likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
- and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over
- all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth
- upon the earth.
-
- 001:027 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God
- created he him; male and female created he them.
-
- 001:028 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and
- multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have
- dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the
- air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
-
- 001:029 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing
- seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree,
- in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it
- shall be for meat.
-
- 001:030 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air,
- and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there
- is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was
- so.
-
- 001:031 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was
- very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
-
- 002:001 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host
- of them.
-
- 002:002 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made;
- and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he
- had made.
-
- 002:003 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because
- that in it he had rested from all his work which God created
- and made.
-
- 002:004 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when
- they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth
- and the heavens,
-
- 002:005 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and
- every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had
- not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man
- to till the ground.
-
- 002:006 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole
- face of the ground.
-
- 002:007 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and
- breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became
- a living soul.
-
- 002:008 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there
- he put the man whom he had formed.
-
- 002:009 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree
- that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of
- life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of
- knowledge of good and evil.
-
- 002:010 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from
- thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
-
- 002:011 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth
- the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
-
- 002:012 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the
- onyx stone.
-
- 002:013 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that
- compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
-
- 002:014 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which
- goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is
- Euphrates.
-
- 002:015 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of
- Eden to dress it and to keep it.
-
- 002:016 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of
- the garden thou mayest freely eat:
-
- 002:017 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt
- not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou
- shalt surely die.
-
- 002:018 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be
- alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
-
- 002:019 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the
- field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam
- to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called
- every living creature, that was the name thereof.
-
- 002:020 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air,
- and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not
- found an help meet for him.
-
- 002:021 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he
- slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh
- instead thereof;
-
- 002:022 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a
- woman, and brought her unto the man.
-
- 002:023 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my
- flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of
- Man.
-
- 002:024 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and
- shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
-
- 002:025 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not
- ashamed.
-
- 003:001 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field
- which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea,
- hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
-
- 003:002 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit
- of the trees of the garden:
-
- 003:003 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the
- garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall
- ye touch it, lest ye die.
-
- 003:004 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
-
- 003:005 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your
- eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good
- and evil.
-
- 003:006 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and
- that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to
- make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and
- gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
-
- 003:007 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they
- were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made
- themselves aprons.
-
- 003:008 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden
- in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves
- from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the
- garden.
-
- 003:009 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where
- art thou?
-
- 003:010 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was
- afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
-
- 003:011 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou
- eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou
- shouldest not eat?
-
- 003:012 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me,
- she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
-
- 003:013 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou
- hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I
- did eat.
-
- 003:014 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done
- this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast
- of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt
- thou eat all the days of thy life:
-
- 003:015 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between
- thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou
- shalt bruise his heel.
-
- 003:016 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and
- thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and
- thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over
- thee.
-
- 003:017 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the
- voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I
- commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is
- the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all
- the days of thy life;
-
- 003:018 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and
- thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
-
- 003:019 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou
- return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for
- dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
-
- 003:020 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the
- mother of all living.
-
- 003:021 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of
- skins, and clothed them.
-
- 003:022 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us,
- to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand,
- and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
-
- 003:023 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden,
- to till the ground from whence he was taken.
-
- 003:024 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the
- garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned
- every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
-
- 004:001 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain,
- and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
-
- 004:002 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of
- sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
-
- 004:003 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of
- the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
-
- 004:004 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and
- of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to
- his offering:
-
- 004:005 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain
- was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
-
- 004:006 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is
- thy countenance fallen?
-
- 004:007 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou
- doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be
- his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
-
- 004:008 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass,
- when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel
- his brother, and slew him.
-
- 004:009 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he
- said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
-
- 004:010 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's
- blood crieth unto me from the ground.
-
- 004:011 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her
- mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
-
- 004:012 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield
- unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou
- be in the earth.
-
- 004:013 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I
- can bear.
-
- 004:014 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the
- earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a
- fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to
- pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
-
- 004:015 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain,
- vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a
- mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
-
- 004:016 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in
- the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
-
- 004:017 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and
- he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the
- name of his son, Enoch.
-
- 004:018 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and
- Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
-
- 004:019 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was
- Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
-
- 004:020 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in
- tents, and of such as have cattle.
-
- 004:021 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all
- such as handle the harp and organ.
-
- 004:022 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every
- artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was
- Naamah.
-
- 004:023 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my
- voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have
- slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
-
- 004:024 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and
- sevenfold.
-
- 004:025 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called
- his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another
- seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
-
- 004:026 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called
- his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the
- LORD.
-
- 005:001 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that
- God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
-
- 005:002 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called
- their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
-
- 005:003 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in
- his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name
- Seth:
-
- 005:004 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight
- hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
-
- 005:005 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty
- years: and he died.
-
- 005:006 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:
-
- 005:007 And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven
- years, and begat sons and daughters:
-
- 005:008 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years:
- and he died.
-
- 005:009 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:
-
- 005:010 And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen
- years, and begat sons and daughters:
-
- 005:011 And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and
- he died.
-
- 005:012 And Cainan lived seventy years and begat Mahalaleel:
-
- 005:013 And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and
- forty years, and begat sons and daughters:
-
- 005:014 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years:
- and he died.
-
- 005:015 And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:
-
- 005:016 And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and
- thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:
-
- 005:017 And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and
- five years: and he died.
-
- 005:018 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat
- Enoch:
-
- 005:019 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and
- begat sons and daughters:
-
- 005:020 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two
- years: and he died.
-
- 005:021 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
-
- 005:022 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three
- hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
-
- 005:023 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five
- years:
-
- 005:024 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
-
- 005:025 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and
- begat Lamech.
-
- 005:026 And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred
- eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:
-
- 005:027 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and
- nine years: and he died.
-
- 005:028 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a
- son:
-
- 005:029 And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort
- us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the
- ground which the LORD hath cursed.
-
- 005:030 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and
- five years, and begat sons and daughters:
-
- 005:031 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and
- seven years: and he died.
-
- 005:032 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham,
- and Japheth.
-
- 006:001 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of
- the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
-
- 006:002 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were
- fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
-
- 006:003 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man,
- for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred
- and twenty years.
-
- 006:004 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after
- that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men,
- and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men
- which were of old, men of renown.
-
- 006:005 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,
- and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was
- only evil continually.
-
- 006:006 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth,
- and it grieved him at his heart.
-
- 006:007 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from
- the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping
- thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I
- have made them.
-
- 006:008 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
-
- 006:009 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and
- perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
-
- 006:010 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
-
- 006:011 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was
- filled with violence.
-
- 006:012 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt;
- for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
-
- 006:013 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before
- me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and,
- behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
-
- 006:014 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the
- ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
-
- 006:015 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The
- length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth
- of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
-
- 006:016 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou
- finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the
- side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou
- make it.
-
- 006:017 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the
- earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life,
- from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall
- die.
-
- 006:018 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt
- come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy
- sons' wives with thee.
-
- 006:019 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort
- shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee;
- they shall be male and female.
-
- 006:020 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of
- every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every
- sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
-
- 006:021 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou
- shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee,
- and for them.
-
- 006:022 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did
- he.
-
- 007:001 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into
- the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this
- generation.
-
- 007:002 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the
- male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two,
- the male and his female.
-
- 007:003 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female;
- to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
-
- 007:004 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth
- forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I
- have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
-
- 007:005 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
-
- 007:006 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters
- was upon the earth.
-
- 007:007 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons'
- wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the
- flood.
-
- 007:008 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of
- fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
-
- 007:009 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and
- the female, as God had commanded Noah.
-
- 007:010 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the
- flood were upon the earth.
-
- 007:011 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month,
- the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the
- fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of
- heaven were opened.
-
- 007:012 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
-
- 007:013 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and
- Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three
- wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
-
- 007:014 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after
- their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
- earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every
- bird of every sort.
-
- 007:015 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all
- flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
-
- 007:016 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh,
- as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
-
- 007:017 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters
- increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the
- earth.
-
- 007:018 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the
- earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
-
- 007:019 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all
- the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were
- covered.
-
- 007:020 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the
- mountains were covered.
-
- 007:021 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl,
- and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that
- creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
-
- 007:022 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was
- in the dry land, died.
-
- 007:023 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the
- face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping
- things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed
- from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that
- were with him in the ark.
-
- 007:024 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty
- days.
-
- 008:001 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the
- cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to
- pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
-
- 008:002 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were
- stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
-
- 008:003 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and
- after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were
- abated.
-
- 008:004 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth
- day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
-
- 008:005 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in
- the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops
- of the mountains seen.
-
- 008:006 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened
- the window of the ark which he had made:
-
- 008:007 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until
- the waters were dried up from off the earth.
-
- 008:008 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were
- abated from off the face of the ground;
-
- 008:009 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she
- returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the
- face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took
- her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
-
- 008:010 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth
- the dove out of the ark;
-
- 008:011 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her
- mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the
- waters were abated from off the earth.
-
- 008:012 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove;
- which returned not again unto him any more.
-
- 008:013 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in
- the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were
- dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of
- the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was
- dry.
-
- 008:014 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the
- month, was the earth dried.
-
- 008:015 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
-
- 008:016 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy
- sons' wives with thee.
-
- 008:017 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of
- all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping
- thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed
- abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon
- the earth.
-
- 008:018 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons'
- wives with him:
-
- 008:019 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and
- whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went
- forth out of the ark.
-
- 008:020 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every
- clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt
- offerings on the altar.
-
- 008:021 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his
- heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's
- sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his
- youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living,
- as I have done.
-
- 008:022 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and
- heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not
- cease.
-
- 009:001 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be
- fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
-
- 009:002 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every
- beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all
- that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the
- sea; into your hand are they delivered.
-
- 009:003 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as
- the green herb have I given you all things.
-
- 009:004 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof,
- shall ye not eat.
-
- 009:005 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the
- hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man;
- at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of
- man.
-
- 009:006 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed:
- for in the image of God made he man.
-
- 009:007 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly
- in the earth, and multiply therein.
-
- 009:008 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
-
- 009:009 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your
- seed after you;
-
- 009:010 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl,
- of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from
- all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
-
- 009:011 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all
- flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither
- shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
-
- 009:012 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make
- between me and you and every living creature that is with you,
- for perpetual generations:
-
- 009:013 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a
- covenant between me and the earth.
-
- 009:014 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the
- earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
-
- 009:015 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you
- and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall
- no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
-
- 009:016 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it,
- that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and
- every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
-
- 009:017 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant,
- which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon
- the earth.
-
- 009:018 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem,
- and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
-
- 009:019 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole
- earth overspread.
-
- 009:020 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
-
- 009:021 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was
- uncovered within his tent.
-
- 009:022 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his
- father, and told his two brethren without.
-
- 009:023 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both
- their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness
- of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw
- not their father's nakedness.
-
- 009:024 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son
- had done unto him.
-
- 009:025 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he
- be unto his brethren.
-
- 009:026 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall
- be his servant.
-
- 009:027 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of
- Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
-
- 009:028 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
-
- 009:029 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years:
- and he died.
-
- 010:001 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham,
- and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
-
- 010:002 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan,
- and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
-
- 010:003 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
-
- 010:004 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and
- Dodanim.
-
- 010:005 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their
- lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in
- their nations.
-
- 010:006 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
-
- 010:007 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and
- Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and
- Dedan.
-
- 010:008 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the
- earth.
-
- 010:009 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said,
- Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
-
- 010:010 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and
- Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
-
- 010:011 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and
- the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
-
- 010:012 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
-
- 010:013 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and
- Naphtuhim,
-
- 010:014 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and
- Caphtorim.
-
- 010:015 And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,
-
- 010:016 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
-
- 010:017 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
-
- 010:018 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and
- afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
-
- 010:019 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou
- comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and
- Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
-
- 010:020 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their
- tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
-
- 010:021 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the
- brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
-
- 010:022 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud,
- and Aram.
-
- 010:023 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
-
- 010:024 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
-
- 010:025 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg;
- for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name
- was Joktan.
-
- 010:026 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and
- Jerah,
-
- 010:027 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
-
- 010:028 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
-
- 010:029 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of
- Joktan.
-
- 010:030 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a
- mount of the east.
-
- 010:031 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their
- tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
-
- 010:032 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their
- generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations
- divided in the earth after the flood.
-
- 011:001 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
-
- 011:002 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that
- they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt
- there.
-
- 011:003 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and
- burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime
- had they for morter.
-
- 011:004 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower,
- whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name,
- lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
-
- 011:005 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which
- the children of men builded.
-
- 011:006 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have
- all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing
- will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
-
- 011:007 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that
- they may not understand one another's speech.
-
- 011:008 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of
- all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
-
- 011:009 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did
- there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence
- did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the
- earth.
-
- 011:010 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years
- old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
-
- 011:011 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and
- begat sons and daughters.
-
- 011:012 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
-
- 011:013 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three
- years, and begat sons and daughters.
-
- 011:014 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
-
- 011:015 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three
- years, and begat sons and daughters.
-
- 011:016 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
-
- 011:017 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty
- years, and begat sons and daughters.
-
- 011:018 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
-
- 011:019 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years,
- and begat sons and daughters.
-
- 011:020 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
-
- 011:021 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven
- years, and begat sons and daughters.
-
- 011:022 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
-
- 011:023 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and
- begat sons and daughters.
-
- 011:024 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
-
- 011:025 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen
- years, and begat sons and daughters.
-
- 011:026 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and
- Haran.
-
- 011:027 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram,
- Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
-
- 011:028 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his
- nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
-
- 011:029 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife
- was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter
- of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
-
- 011:030 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
-
- 011:031 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his
- son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's
- wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees,
- to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and
- dwelt there.
-
- 011:032 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and
- Terah died in Haran.
-
- 012:001 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country,
- and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land
- that I will shew thee:
-
- 012:002 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee,
- and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
-
- 012:003 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that
- curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be
- blessed.
-
- 012:004 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot
- went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when
- he departed out of Haran.
-
- 012:005 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and
- all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that
- they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the
- land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
-
- 012:006 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem,
- unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the
- land.
-
- 012:007 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will
- I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD,
- who appeared unto him.
-
- 012:008 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of
- Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and
- Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD,
- and called upon the name of the LORD.
-
- 012:009 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
-
- 012:010 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into
- Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the
- land.
-
- 012:011 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into
- Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know
- that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
-
- 012:012 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see
- thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will
- kill me, but they will save thee alive.
-
- 012:013 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with
- me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
-
- 012:014 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the
- Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
-
- 012:015 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before
- Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
-
- 012:016 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep,
- and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and
- she asses, and camels.
-
- 012:017 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues
- because of Sarai Abram's wife.
-
- 012:018 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast
- done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy
- wife?
-
- 012:019 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her
- to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go
- thy way.
-
- 012:020 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent
- him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
-
- 013:001 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that
- he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
-
- 013:002 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
-
- 013:003 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel,
- unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning,
- between Bethel and Hai;
-
- 013:004 Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the
- first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
-
- 013:005 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds,
- and tents.
-
- 013:006 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell
- together: for their substance was great, so that they could
- not dwell together.
-
- 013:007 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle
- and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the
- Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
-
- 013:008 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee,
- between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen;
- for we be brethren.
-
- 013:009 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray
- thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go
- to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will
- go to the left.
-
- 013:010 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of
- Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD
- destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD,
- like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
-
- 013:011 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed
- east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
-
- 013:012 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the
- cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
-
- 013:013 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD
- exceedingly.
-
- 013:014 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated
- from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place
- where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and
- westward:
-
- 013:015 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and
- to thy seed for ever.
-
- 013:016 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if
- a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed
- also be numbered.
-
- 013:017 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the
- breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
-
- 013:018 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain
- of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto
- the LORD.
-
- 014:001 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar,
- Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal
- king of nations;
-
- 014:002 That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha
- king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of
- Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
-
- 014:003 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is
- the salt sea.
-
- 014:004 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth
- year they rebelled.
-
- 014:005 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings
- that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth
- Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emins in Shaveh
- Kiriathaim,
-
- 014:006 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by
- the wilderness.
-
- 014:007 And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and
- smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the
- Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar.
-
- 014:008 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of
- Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and
- the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle
- with them in the vale of Siddim;
-
- 014:009 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of
- nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of
- Ellasar; four kings with five.
-
- 014:010 And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of
- Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that
- remained fled to the mountain.
-
- 014:011 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all
- their victuals, and went their way.
-
- 014:012 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom,
- and his goods, and departed.
-
- 014:013 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the
- Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite,
- brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were
- confederate with Abram.
-
- 014:014 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he
- armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three
- hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
-
- 014:015 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by
- night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is
- on the left hand of Damascus.
-
- 014:016 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his
- brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the
- people.
-
- 014:017 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return
- from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were
- with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
-
- 014:018 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine:
- and he was the priest of the most high God.
-
- 014:019 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most
- high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
-
- 014:020 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine
- enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
-
- 014:021 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons,
- and take the goods to thyself.
-
- 014:022 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand
- unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and
- earth,
-
- 014:023 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and
- that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou
- shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
-
- 014:024 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion
- of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let
- them take their portion.
-
- 015:001 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a
- vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy
- exceeding great reward.
-
- 015:002 And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go
- childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of
- Damascus?
-
- 015:003 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and,
- lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
-
- 015:004 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This
- shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of
- thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
-
- 015:005 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward
- heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them:
- and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
-
- 015:006 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for
- righteousness.
-
- 015:007 And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of
- Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
-
- 015:008 And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall
- inherit it?
-
- 015:009 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old,
- and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years
- old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
-
- 015:010 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst,
- and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided
- he not.
-
- 015:011 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove
- them away.
-
- 015:012 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram;
- and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
-
- 015:013 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall
- be a stranger in a land that is not their's, and shall serve
- them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
-
- 015:014 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and
- afterward shall they come out with great substance.
-
- 015:015 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be
- buried in a good old age.
-
- 015:016 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for
- the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
-
- 015:017 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was
- dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed
- between those pieces.
-
- 015:018 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying,
- Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt
- unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
-
- 015:019 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
-
- 015:020 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
-
- 015:021 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and
- the Jebusites.
-
- 016:001 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an
- handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
-
- 016:002 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath
- restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid;
- it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram
- hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
-
- 016:003 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after
- Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her
- to her husband Abram to be his wife.
-
- 016:004 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw
- that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
-
- 016:005 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given
- my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had
- conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between
- me and thee.
-
- 016:006 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand;
- do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly
- with her, she fled from her face.
-
- 016:007 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in
- the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
-
- 016:008 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and
- whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my
- mistress Sarai.
-
- 016:009 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy
- mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
-
- 016:010 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy
- seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
-
- 016:011 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with
- child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael;
- because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
-
- 016:012 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man,
- and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the
- presence of all his brethren.
-
- 016:013 And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou
- God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him
- that seeth me?
-
- 016:014 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is
- between Kadesh and Bered.
-
- 016:015 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name,
- which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
-
- 016:016 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare
- Ishmael to Abram.
-
- 017:001 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD
- appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God;
- walk before me, and be thou perfect.
-
- 017:002 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will
- multiply thee exceedingly.
-
- 017:003 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
-
- 017:004 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be
- a father of many nations.
-
- 017:005 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name
- shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made
- thee.
-
- 017:006 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make
- nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
-
- 017:007 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy
- seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting
- covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
-
- 017:008 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the
- land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for
- an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
-
- 017:009 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant
- therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
-
- 017:010 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you
- and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be
- circumcised.
-
- 017:011 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it
- shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
-
- 017:012 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you,
- every man child in your generations, he that is born in the
- house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of
- thy seed.
-
- 017:013 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy
- money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in
- your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
-
- 017:014 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is
- not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people;
- he hath broken my covenant.
-
- 017:015 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt
- not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
-
- 017:016 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I
- will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of
- people shall be of her.
-
- 017:017 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his
- heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years
- old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
-
- 017:018 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before
- thee!
-
- 017:019 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and
- thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my
- covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his
- seed after him.
-
- 017:020 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed
- him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him
- exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make
- him a great nation.
-
- 017:021 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall
- bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
-
- 017:022 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from
- Abraham.
-
- 017:023 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in
- his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male
- among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of
- their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.
-
- 017:024 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was
- circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
-
- 017:025 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was
- circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
-
- 017:026 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his
- son.
-
- 017:027 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought
- with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
-
- 018:001 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he
- sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
-
- 018:002 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood
- by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the
- tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
-
- 018:003 And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight,
- pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
-
- 018:004 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your
- feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
-
- 018:005 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your
- hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come
- to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
-
- 018:006 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make
- ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make
- cakes upon the hearth.
-
- 018:007 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and
- good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
-
- 018:008 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had
- dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under
- the tree, and they did eat.
-
- 018:009 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said,
- Behold, in the tent.
-
- 018:010 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to
- the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son.
- And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
-
- 018:011 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and
- it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
-
- 018:012 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am
- waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
-
- 018:013 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh,
- saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
-
- 018:014 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I
- will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and
- Sarah shall have a son.
-
- 018:015 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid.
- And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
-
- 018:016 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and
- Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
-
- 018:017 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which
- I do;
-
- 018:018 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty
- nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in
- him?
-
- 018:019 For I know him, that he will command his children and his
- household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD,
- to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon
- Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
-
- 018:020 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is
- great, and because their sin is very grievous;
-
- 018:021 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether
- according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not,
- I will know.
-
- 018:022 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward
- Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
-
- 018:023 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the
- righteous with the wicked?
-
- 018:024 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt
- thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty
- righteous that are therein?
-
- 018:025 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the
- righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as
- the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all
- the earth do right?
-
- 018:026 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within
- the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
-
- 018:027 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon
- me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes:
-
- 018:028 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous:
- wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said,
- If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
-
- 018:029 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there
- shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for
- forty's sake.
-
- 018:030 And he said unto him, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will
- speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he
- said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
-
- 018:031 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto
- the LORD: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And
- he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.
-
- 018:032 And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak
- yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And
- he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
-
- 018:033 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing
- with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
-
- 019:001 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the
- gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and
- he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
-
- 019:002 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into
- your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet,
- and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they
- said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
-
- 019:003 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him,
- and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did
- bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
-
- 019:004 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of
- Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the
- people from every quarter:
-
- 019:005 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men
- which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that
- we may know them.
-
- 019:006 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door
- after him,
-
- 019:007 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
-
- 019:008 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let
- me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as
- is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for
- therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
-
- 019:009 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one
- fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now
- will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed
- sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
-
- 019:010 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the
- house to them, and shut to the door.
-
- 019:011 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with
- blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied
- themselves to find the door.
-
- 019:012 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in
- law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast
- in the city, bring them out of this place:
-
- 019:013 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is
- waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath
- sent us to destroy it.
-
- 019:014 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which
- married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this
- place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as
- one that mocked unto his sons in law.
-
- 019:015 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot,
- saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are
- here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
-
- 019:016 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and
- upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two
- daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought
- him forth, and set him without the city.
-
- 019:017 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad,
- that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee,
- neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain,
- lest thou be consumed.
-
- 019:018 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my LORD:
-
- 019:019 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and
- thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me
- in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest
- some evil take me, and I die:
-
- 019:020 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little
- one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and
- my soul shall live.
-
- 019:021 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning
- this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the
- which thou hast spoken.
-
- 019:022 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou
- be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called
- Zoar.
-
- 019:023 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
-
- 019:024 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone
- and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
-
- 019:025 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the
- inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the
- ground.
-
- 019:026 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a
- pillar of salt.
-
- 019:027 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he
- stood before the LORD:
-
- 019:028 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the
- land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the
- country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
-
- 019:029 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the
- plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the
- midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the
- which Lot dwelt.
-
- 019:030 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and
- his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar:
- and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
-
- 019:031 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old,
- and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after
- the manner of all the earth:
-
- 019:032 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with
- him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
-
- 019:033 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the
- firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived
- not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
-
- 019:034 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said
- unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father:
- let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in,
- and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
-
- 019:035 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the
- younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she
- lay down, nor when she arose.
-
- 019:036 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their
- father.
-
- 019:037 And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the
- same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
-
- 019:038 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name
- Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto
- this day.
-
- 020:001 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country,
- and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
-
- 020:002 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and
- Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
-
- 020:003 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to
- him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou
- hast taken; for she is a man's wife.
-
- 020:004 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt
- thou slay also a righteous nation?
-
- 020:005 Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she
- herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart
- and innocency of my hands have I done this.
-
- 020:006 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst
- this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee
- from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to
- touch her.
-
- 020:007 Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet,
- and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou
- restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou,
- and all that are thine.
-
- 020:008 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all
- his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the
- men were sore afraid.
-
- 020:009 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast
- thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou
- hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast
- done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
-
- 020:010 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou
- hast done this thing?
-
- 020:011 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is
- not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.
-
- 020:012 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my
- father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my
- wife.
-
- 020:013 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my
- father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness
- which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall
- come, say of me, He is my brother.
-
- 020:014 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and
- womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him
- Sarah his wife.
-
- 020:015 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell
- where it pleaseth thee.
-
- 020:016 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a
- thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of
- the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other:
- thus she was reproved.
-
- 020:017 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his
- wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
-
- 020:018 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of
- Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
-
- 021:001 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did
- unto Sarah as he had spoken.
-
- 021:002 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at
- the set time of which God had spoken to him.
-
- 021:003 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him,
- whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
-
- 021:004 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as
- God had commanded him.
-
- 021:005 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was
- born unto him.
-
- 021:006 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that
- hear will laugh with me.
-
- 021:007 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah
- should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in
- his old age.
-
- 021:008 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great
- feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
-
- 021:009 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had
- born unto Abraham, mocking.
-
- 021:010 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and
- her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with
- my son, even with Isaac.
-
- 021:011 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of
- his son.
-
- 021:012 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight
- because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that
- Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in
- Isaac shall thy seed be called.
-
- 021:013 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation,
- because he is thy seed.
-
- 021:014 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and
- a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her
- shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed,
- and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
-
- 021:015 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child
- under one of the shrubs.
-
- 021:016 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way
- off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the
- death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up
- her voice, and wept.
-
- 021:017 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God
- called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth
- thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad
- where he is.
-
- 021:018 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will
- make him a great nation.
-
- 021:019 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she
- went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad
- drink.
-
- 021:020 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the
- wilderness, and became an archer.
-
- 021:021 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took
- him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
-
- 021:022 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol
- the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God
- is with thee in all that thou doest:
-
- 021:023 Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not
- deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son:
- but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou
- shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
-
- 021:024 And Abraham said, I will swear.
-
- 021:025 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water,
- which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
-
- 021:026 And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing;
- neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to
- day.
-
- 021:027 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech;
- and both of them made a covenant.
-
- 021:028 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
-
- 021:029 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe
- lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
-
- 021:030 And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my
- hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged
- this well.
-
- 021:031 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they
- sware both of them.
-
- 021:032 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose
- up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they
- returned into the land of the Philistines.
-
- 021:033 And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on
- the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
-
- 021:034 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
-
- 022:001 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt
- Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here
- I am.
-
- 022:002 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou
- lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him
- there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I
- will tell thee of.
-
- 022:003 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass,
- and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and
- clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went
- unto the place of which God had told him.
-
- 022:004 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the
- place afar off.
-
- 022:005 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the
- ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come
- again to you.
-
- 022:006 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it
- upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a
- knife; and they went both of them together.
-
- 022:007 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father:
- and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire
- and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
-
- 022:008 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for
- a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
-
- 022:009 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and
- Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and
- bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
-
- 022:010 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to
- slay his son.
-
- 022:011 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and
- said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
-
- 022:012 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou
- any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God,
- seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
-
- 022:013 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind
- him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went
- and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in
- the stead of his son.
-
- 022:014 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it
- is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be
- seen.
-
- 022:015 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven
- the second time,
-
- 022:016 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because
- thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son,
- thine only son:
-
- 022:017 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will
- multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand
- which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the
- gate of his enemies;
-
- 022:018 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
- because thou hast obeyed my voice.
-
- 022:019 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and
- went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
-
- 022:020 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told
- Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children
- unto thy brother Nahor;
-
- 022:021 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father
- of Aram,
-
- 022:022 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
-
- 022:023 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to
- Nahor, Abraham's brother.
-
- 022:024 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah,
- and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
-
- 023:001 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these
- were the years of the life of Sarah.
-
- 023:002 And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land
- of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep
- for her.
-
- 023:003 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the
- sons of Heth, saying,
-
- 023:004 I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession
- of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my
- sight.
-
- 023:005 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,
-
- 023:006 Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the
- choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall
- withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury
- thy dead.
-
- 023:007 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the
- land, even to the children of Heth.
-
- 023:008 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I
- should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for
- me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
-
- 023:009 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath,
- which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is
- worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace
- amongst you.
-
- 023:010 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the
- Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of
- Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city,
- saying,
-
- 023:011 Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave
- that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons
- of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.
-
- 023:012 And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.
-
- 023:013 And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the
- land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me:
- I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I
- will bury my dead there.
-
- 023:014 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
-
- 023:015 My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred
- shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury
- therefore thy dead.
-
- 023:016 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to
- Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the
- sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money
- with the merchant.
-
- 023:017 And the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was
- before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and
- all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the
- borders round about, were made sure
-
- 023:018 Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children
- of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
-
- 023:019 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of
- the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the
- land of Canaan.
-
- 023:020 And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure
- unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of
- Heth.
-
- 024:001 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD
- had blessed Abraham in all things.
-
- 024:002 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that
- ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under
- my thigh:
-
- 024:003 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and
- the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my
- son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
-
- 024:004 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take
- a wife unto my son Isaac.
-
- 024:005 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not
- be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy
- son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
-
- 024:006 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my
- son thither again.
-
- 024:007 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house,
- and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and
- that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this
- land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take
- a wife unto my son from thence.
-
- 024:008 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou
- shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son
- thither again.
-
- 024:009 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his
- master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
-
- 024:010 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master,
- and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his
- hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of
- Nahor.
-
- 024:011 And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a
- well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that
- women go out to draw water.
-
- 024:012 And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send
- me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master
- Abraham.
-
- 024:013 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters
- of the men of the city come out to draw water:
-
- 024:014 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say,
- Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she
- shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let
- the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant
- Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness
- unto my master.
-
- 024:015 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that,
- behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of
- Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher
- upon her shoulder.
-
- 024:016 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither
- had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and
- filled her pitcher, and came up.
-
- 024:017 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray
- thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
-
- 024:018 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her
- pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
-
- 024:019 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw
- water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
-
- 024:020 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and
- ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his
- camels.
-
- 024:021 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether
- the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
-
- 024:022 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the
- man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two
- bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
-
- 024:023 And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is
- there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?
-
- 024:024 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of
- Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
-
- 024:025 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender
- enough, and room to lodge in.
-
- 024:026 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
-
- 024:027 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who
- hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth:
- I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my
- master's brethren.
-
- 024:028 And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these
- things.
-
- 024:029 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban
- ran out unto the man, unto the well.
-
- 024:030 And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets
- upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of
- Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that
- he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at
- the well.
-
- 024:031 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore
- standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room
- for the camels.
-
- 024:032 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels,
- and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash
- his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.
-
- 024:033 And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will
- not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
-
- 024:034 And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
-
- 024:035 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become
- great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver,
- and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and
- asses.
-
- 024:036 And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she
- was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
-
- 024:037 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a
- wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose
- land I dwell:
-
- 024:038 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred,
- and take a wife unto my son.
-
- 024:039 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not
- follow me.
-
- 024:040 And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send
- his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take
- a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
-
- 024:041 Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest
- to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be
- clear from my oath.
-
- 024:042 And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my
- master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
-
- 024:043 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to
- pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I
- say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy
- pitcher to drink;
-
- 024:044 And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for
- thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath
- appointed out for my master's son.
-
- 024:045 And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah
- came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down
- unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me
- drink, I pray thee.
-
- 024:046 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her
- shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink
- also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
-
- 024:047 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she
- said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare
- unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the
- bracelets upon her hands.
-
- 024:048 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed
- the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the
- right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
-
- 024:049 And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell
- me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or
- to the left.
-
- 024:050 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth
- from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
-
- 024:051 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her
- be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
-
- 024:052 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their
- words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
-
- 024:053 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of
- gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to
- her brother and to her mother precious things.
-
- 024:054 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him,
- and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he
- said, Send me away unto my master.
-
- 024:055 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with
- us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
-
- 024:056 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath
- prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
-
- 024:057 And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her
- mouth.
-
- 024:058 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with
- this man? And she said, I will go.
-
- 024:059 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and
- Abraham's servant, and his men.
-
- 024:060 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our
- sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let
- thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
-
- 024:061 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the
- camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah,
- and went his way.
-
- 024:062 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt
- in the south country.
-
- 024:063 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide:
- and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels
- were coming.
-
- 024:064 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she
- lighted off the camel.
-
- 024:065 For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that
- walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It
- is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
-
- 024:066 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
-
- 024:067 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took
- Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac
- was comforted after his mother's death.
-
- 025:001 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
-
- 025:002 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian,
- and Ishbak, and Shuah.
-
- 025:003 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were
- Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
-
- 025:004 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and
- Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
-
- 025:005 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
-
- 025:006 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had,
- Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son,
- while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
-
- 025:007 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he
- lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
-
- 025:008 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an
- old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
-
- 025:009 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of
- Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the
- Hittite, which is before Mamre;
-
- 025:010 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there
- was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
-
- 025:011 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God
- blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
-
- 025:012 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom
- Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
-
- 025:013 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their
- names, according to their generations: the firstborn of
- Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
-
- 025:014 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
-
- 025:015 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
-
- 025:016 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by
- their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to
- their nations.
-
- 025:017 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and
- thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and
- was gathered unto his people.
-
- 025:018 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt,
- as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of
- all his brethren.
-
- 025:019 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham
- begat Isaac:
-
- 025:020 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife,
- the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to
- Laban the Syrian.
-
- 025:021 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was
- barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his
- wife conceived.
-
- 025:022 And the children struggled together within her; and she said,
- If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the
- LORD.
-
- 025:023 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and
- two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and
- the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and
- the elder shall serve the younger.
-
- 025:024 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold,
- there were twins in her womb.
-
- 025:025 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment;
- and they called his name Esau.
-
- 025:026 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on
- Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was
- threescore years old when she bare them.
-
- 025:027 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the
- field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
-
- 025:028 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but
- Rebekah loved Jacob.
-
- 025:029 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he
- was faint:
-
- 025:030 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same
- red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called
- Edom.
-
- 025:031 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
-
- 025:032 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what
- profit shall this birthright do to me?
-
- 025:033 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him:
- and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
-
- 025:034 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did
- eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau
- despised his birthright.
-
- 026:001 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine
- that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech
- king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
-
- 026:002 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into
- Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
-
- 026:003 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless
- thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these
- countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto
- Abraham thy father;
-
- 026:004 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven,
- and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy
- seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
-
- 026:005 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my
- commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
-
- 026:006 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
-
- 026:007 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said,
- She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest,
- said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah;
- because she was fair to look upon.
-
- 026:008 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that
- Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and
- saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
-
- 026:009 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she
- is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac
- said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
-
- 026:010 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one
- of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou
- shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
-
- 026:011 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth
- this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
-
- 026:012 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year
- an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
-
- 026:013 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he
- became very great:
-
- 026:014 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and
- great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
-
- 026:015 For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in
- the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped
- them, and filled them with earth.
-
- 026:016 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much
- mightier than we.
-
- 026:017 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley
- of Gerar, and dwelt there.
-
- 026:018 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had
- digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines
- had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called
- their names after the names by which his father had called
- them.
-
- 026:019 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a
- well of springing water.
-
- 026:020 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen,
- saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well
- Esek; because they strove with him.
-
- 026:021 And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he
- called the name of it Sitnah.
-
- 026:022 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for
- that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth;
- and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we
- shall be fruitful in the land.
-
- 026:023 And he went up from thence to Beersheba.
-
- 026:024 And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am
- the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee,
- and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant
- Abraham's sake.
-
- 026:025 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the
- LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants
- digged a well.
-
- 026:026 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his
- friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
-
- 026:027 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye
- hate me, and have sent me away from you?
-
- 026:028 And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee:
- and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt
- us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
-
- 026:029 That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and
- as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee
- away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD.
-
- 026:030 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
-
- 026:031 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to
- another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him
- in peace.
-
- 026:032 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came,
- and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and
- said unto him, We have found water.
-
- 026:033 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is
- Beersheba unto this day.
-
- 026:034 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the
- daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of
- Elon the Hittite:
-
- 026:035 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
-
- 027:001 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes
- were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest
- son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold,
- here am I.
-
- 027:002 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my
- death:
-
- 027:003 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and
- thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
-
- 027:004 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me,
- that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
-
- 027:005 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau
- went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
-
- 027:006 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard
- thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
-
- 027:007 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat,
- and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
-
- 027:008 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I
- command thee.
-
- 027:009 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of
- the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father,
- such as he loveth:
-
- 027:010 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and
- that he may bless thee before his death.
-
- 027:011 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother
- is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
-
- 027:012 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him
- as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a
- blessing.
-
- 027:013 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son:
- only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
-
- 027:014 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and
- his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
-
- 027:015 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which
- were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her
- younger son:
-
- 027:016 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands,
- and upon the smooth of his neck:
-
- 027:017 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had
- prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
-
- 027:018 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said,
- Here am I; who art thou, my son?
-
- 027:019 And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first born; I
- have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit
- and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
-
- 027:020 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it
- so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God
- brought it to me.
-
- 027:021 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may
- feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
-
- 027:022 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him,
- and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the
- hands of Esau.
-
- 027:023 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his
- brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
-
- 027:024 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
-
- 027:025 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's
- venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near
- to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine and he drank.
-
- 027:026 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss
- me, my son.
-
- 027:027 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of
- his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my
- son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
-
- 027:028 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness
- of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
-
- 027:029 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord
- over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee:
- cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that
- blesseth thee.
-
- 027:030 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of
- blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the
- presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in
- from his hunting.
-
- 027:031 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his
- father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat
- of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.
-
- 027:032 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said,
- I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
-
- 027:033 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is
- he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have
- eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea,
- and he shall be blessed.
-
- 027:034 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a
- great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father,
- Bless me, even me also, O my father.
-
- 027:035 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken
- away thy blessing.
-
- 027:036 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath
- supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright;
- and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said,
- Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
-
- 027:037 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him
- thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for
- servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and
- what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
-
- 027:038 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my
- father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted
- up his voice, and wept.
-
- 027:039 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy
- dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of
- heaven from above;
-
- 027:040 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother;
- and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion,
- that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
-
- 027:041 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his
- father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of
- mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my
- brother Jacob.
-
- 027:042 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah:
- and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto
- him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort
- himself, purposing to kill thee.
-
- 027:043 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee thou to
- Laban my brother to Haran;
-
- 027:044 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn
- away;
-
- 027:045 Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget
- that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch
- thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in
- one day?
-
- 027:046 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of
- the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters
- of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land,
- what good shall my life do me?
-
- 028:001 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and
- said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of
- Canaan.
-
- 028:002 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's
- father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughers of
- Laban thy mother's brother.
-
- 028:003 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and
- multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
-
- 028:004 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy
- seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou
- art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
-
- 028:005 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto
- Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah,
- Jacob's and Esau's mother.
-
- 028:006 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away
- to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he
- blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take
- a wife of the daughers of Canaan;
-
- 028:007 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone
- to Padanaram;
-
- 028:008 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac
- his father;
-
- 028:009 Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he
- had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister
- of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
-
- 028:010 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
-
- 028:011 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all
- night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of
- that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that
- place to sleep.
-
- 028:012 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and
- the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God
- ascending and descending on it.
-
- 028:013 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD
- God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land
- whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
-
- 028:014 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt
- spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north,
- and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the
- families of the earth be blessed.
-
- 028:015 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places
- whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land;
- for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have
- spoken to thee of.
-
- 028:016 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the
- LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.
-
- 028:017 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this
- is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of
- heaven.
-
- 028:018 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone
- that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar,
- and poured oil upon the top of it.
-
- 028:019 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of
- that city was called Luz at the first.
-
- 028:020 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and
- will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to
- eat, and raiment to put on,
-
- 028:021 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall
- the LORD be my God:
-
- 028:022 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's
- house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give
- the tenth unto thee.
-
- 029:001 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the
- people of the east.
-
- 029:002 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there
- were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well
- they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's
- mouth.
-
- 029:003 And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the
- stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put
- the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place.
-
- 029:004 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they
- said, Of Haran are we.
-
- 029:005 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And
- they said, We know him.
-
- 029:006 And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well:
- and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
-
- 029:007 And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that
- the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep,
- and go and feed them.
-
- 029:008 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered
- together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth;
- then we water the sheep.
-
- 029:009 And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her
- father's sheep; for she kept them.
-
- 029:010 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of
- Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his
- mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone
- from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his
- mother's brother.
-
- 029:011 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
-
- 029:012 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and
- that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.
-
- 029:013 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his
- sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and
- kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban
- all these things.
-
- 029:014 And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh.
- And he abode with him the space of a month.
-
- 029:015 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother,
- shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what
- shall thy wages be?
-
- 029:016 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah,
- and the name of the younger was Rachel.
-
- 029:017 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well
- favoured.
-
- 029:018 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven
- years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
-
- 029:019 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than
- that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
-
- 029:020 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto
- him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
-
- 029:021 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are
- fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
-
- 029:022 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made
- a feast.
-
- 029:023 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his
- daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
-
- 029:024 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an
- handmaid.
-
- 029:025 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah:
- and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did
- not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou
- beguiled me?
-
- 029:026 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give
- the younger before the firstborn.
-
- 029:027 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the
- service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
-
- 029:028 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him
- Rachel his daughter to wife also.
-
- 029:029 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to
- be her maid.
-
- 029:030 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more
- than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
-
- 029:031 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb:
- but Rachel was barren.
-
- 029:032 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name
- Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my
- affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
-
- 029:033 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the
- LORD hath heard I was hated, he hath therefore given me this
- son also: and she called his name Simeon.
-
- 029:034 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this
- time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born
- him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
-
- 029:035 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now
- will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah;
- and left bearing.
-
- 030:001 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel
- envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or
- else I die.
-
- 030:002 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am
- I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the
- womb?
-
- 030:003 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she
- shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by
- her.
-
- 030:004 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went
- in unto her.
-
- 030:005 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
-
- 030:006 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my
- voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name
- Dan.
-
- 030:007 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a
- second son.
-
- 030:008 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my
- sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name
- Naphtali.
-
- 030:009 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her
- maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
-
- 030:010 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
-
- 030:011 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
-
- 030:012 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
-
- 030:013 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me
- blessed: and she called his name Asher.
-
- 030:014 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found
- mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah.
- Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's
- mandrakes.
-
- 030:015 And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast
- taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's
- mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with
- thee to night for thy son's mandrakes.
-
- 030:016 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went
- out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for
- surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay
- with her that night.
-
- 030:017 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob
- the fifth son.
-
- 030:018 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given
- my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
-
- 030:019 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
-
- 030:020 And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will
- my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons:
- and she called his name Zebulun.
-
- 030:021 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
-
- 030:022 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and
- opened her womb.
-
- 030:023 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken
- away my reproach:
-
- 030:024 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add
- to me another son.
-
- 030:025 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob
- said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own
- place, and to my country.
-
- 030:026 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee,
- and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done
- thee.
-
- 030:027 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour
- in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that
- the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.
-
- 030:028 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
-
- 030:029 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and
- how thy cattle was with me.
-
- 030:030 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is
- now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee
- since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own
- house also?
-
- 030:031 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou
- shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for
- me, I will again feed and keep thy flock.
-
- 030:032 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence
- all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle
- among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats:
- and of such shall be my hire.
-
- 030:033 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when
- it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is
- not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the
- sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
-
- 030:034 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy
- word.
-
- 030:035 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and
- spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted,
- and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown
- among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
-
- 030:036 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and
- Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
-
- 030:037 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and
- chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the
- white appear which was in the rods.
-
- 030:038 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in
- the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to
- drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
-
- 030:039 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth
- cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
-
- 030:040 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the
- flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock
- of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put
- them not unto Laban's cattle.
-
- 030:041 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did
- conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the
- cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the
- rods.
-
- 030:042 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the
- feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
-
- 030:043 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and
- maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
-
- 031:001 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath
- taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was
- our father's hath he gotten all this glory.
-
- 031:002 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was
- not toward him as before.
-
- 031:003 And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy
- fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
-
- 031:004 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto
- his flock,
-
- 031:005 And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it
- is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been
- with me.
-
- 031:006 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
-
- 031:007 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten
- times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
-
- 031:008 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the
- cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked
- shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.
-
- 031:009 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given
- them to me.
-
- 031:010 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived,
- that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold,
- the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked,
- speckled, and grisled.
-
- 031:011 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob:
- And I said, Here am I.
-
- 031:012 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams
- which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and
- grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
-
- 031:013 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and
- where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from
- this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
-
- 031:014 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet
- any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
-
- 031:015 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and
- hath quite devoured also our money.
-
- 031:016 For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that
- is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath
- said unto thee, do.
-
- 031:017 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon
- camels;
-
- 031:018 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he
- had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in
- Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of
- Canaan.
-
- 031:019 And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the
- images that were her father's.
-
- 031:020 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he
- told him not that he fled.
-
- 031:021 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed
- over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
-
- 031:022 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
-
- 031:023 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven
- days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
-
- 031:024 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said
- unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good
- or bad.
-
- 031:025 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in
- the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of
- Gilead.
-
- 031:026 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast
- stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as
- captives taken with the sword?
-
- 031:027 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from
- me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away
- with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
-
- 031:028 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters?
- thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
-
- 031:029 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of
- your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed
- that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
-
- 031:030 And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore
- longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou
- stolen my gods?
-
- 031:031 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid:
- for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy
- daughters from me.
-
- 031:032 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live:
- before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and
- take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen
- them.
-
- 031:033 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and
- into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then
- went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
-
- 031:034 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's
- furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent,
- but found them not.
-
- 031:035 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that
- I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon
- me. And he searched but found not the images.
-
- 031:036 And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered
- and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that
- thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
-
- 031:037 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found
- of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and
- thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.
-
- 031:038 This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she
- goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock
- have I not eaten.
-
- 031:039 That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare
- the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether
- stolen by day, or stolen by night.
-
- 031:040 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost
- by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
-
- 031:041 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee
- fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy
- cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
-
- 031:042 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear
- of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now
- empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my
- hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
-
- 031:043 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my
- daughters, and these children are my children, and these
- cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and
- what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their
- children which they have born?
-
- 031:044 Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou;
- and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
-
- 031:045 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
-
- 031:046 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took
- stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the
- heap.
-
- 031:047 And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it
- Galeed.
-
- 031:048 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee
- this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
-
- 031:049 And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee,
- when we are absent one from another.
-
- 031:050 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take
- other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God
- is witness betwixt me and thee.
-
- 031:051 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this
- pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee:
-
- 031:052 This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will
- not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass
- over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
-
- 031:053 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their
- father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his
- father Isaac.
-
- 031:054 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his
- brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all
- night in the mount.
-
- 031:055 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons
- and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and
- returned unto his place.
-
- 032:001 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
-
- 032:002 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he
- called the name of that place Mahanaim.
-
- 032:003 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto
- the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
-
- 032:004 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my
- lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with
- Laban, and stayed there until now:
-
- 032:005 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and
- womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may
- find grace in thy sight.
-
- 032:006 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy
- brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four
- hundred men with him.
-
- 032:007 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided
- the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and
- the camels, into two bands;
-
- 032:008 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then
- the other company which is left shall escape.
-
- 032:009 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my
- father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy
- country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
-
- 032:010 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all
- the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with
- my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two
- bands.
-
- 032:011 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the
- hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me,
- and the mother with the children.
-
- 032:012 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed
- as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for
- multitude.
-
- 032:013 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which
- came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
-
- 032:014 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes,
- and twenty rams,
-
- 032:015 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten
- bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
-
- 032:016 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every
- drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over
- before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
-
- 032:017 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother
- meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and
- whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
-
- 032:018 Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a
- present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind
- us.
-
- 032:019 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that
- followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak
- unto Esau, when ye find him.
-
- 032:020 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us.
- For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth
- before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he
- will accept of me.
-
- 032:021 So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that
- night in the company.
-
- 032:022 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two
- womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford
- Jabbok.
-
- 032:023 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over
- that he had.
-
- 032:024 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him
- until the breaking of the day.
-
- 032:025 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched
- the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was
- out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
-
- 032:026 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I
- will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
-
- 032:027 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
-
- 032:028 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but
- Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men,
- and hast prevailed.
-
- 032:029 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name.
- And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name?
- And he blessed him there.
-
- 032:030 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen
- God face to face, and my life is preserved.
-
- 032:031 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he
- halted upon his thigh.
-
- 032:032 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which
- shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day:
- because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew
- that shrank.
-
- 033:001 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau
- came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the
- children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two
- handmaids.
-
- 033:002 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah
- and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
-
- 033:003 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the
- ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
-
- 033:004 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his
- neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
-
- 033:005 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children;
- and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children
- which God hath graciously given thy servant.
-
- 033:006 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and
- they bowed themselves.
-
- 033:007 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed
- themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they
- bowed themselves.
-
- 033:008 And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met?
- And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
-
- 033:009 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast
- unto thyself.
-
- 033:010 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in
- thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I
- have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and
- thou wast pleased with me.
-
- 033:011 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee;
- because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have
- enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
-
- 033:012 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I
- will go before thee.
-
- 033:013 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are
- tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and
- if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
-
- 033:014 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I
- will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before
- me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my
- lord unto Seir.
-
- 033:015 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk
- that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find
- grace in the sight of my lord.
-
- 033:016 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
-
- 033:017 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and
- made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is
- called Succoth.
-
- 033:018 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the
- land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his
- tent before the city.
-
- 033:019 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his
- tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father,
- for an hundred pieces of money.
-
- 033:020 And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.
-
- 034:001 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob,
- went out to see the daughters of the land.
-
- 034:002 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the
- country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled
- her.
-
- 034:003 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he
- loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
-
- 034:004 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this
- damsel to wife.
-
- 034:005 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now
- his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his
- peace until they were come.
-
- 034:006 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune
- with him.
-
- 034:007 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard
- it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth,
- because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's
- daughter: which thing ought not to be done.
-
- 034:008 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son
- Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to
- wife.
-
- 034:009 And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto
- us, and take our daughters unto you.
-
- 034:010 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you;
- dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
-
- 034:011 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me
- find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will
- give.
-
- 034:012 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according
- as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
-
- 034:013 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father
- deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their
- sister:
-
- 034:014 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our
- sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach
- unto us:
-
- 034:015 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be,
- that every male of you be circumcised;
-
- 034:016 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take
- your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will
- become one people.
-
- 034:017 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then
- will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
-
- 034:018 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
-
- 034:019 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had
- delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honourable than
- all the house of his father.
-
- 034:020 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their
- city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
-
- 034:021 These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in
- the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large
- enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives,
- and let us give them our daughters.
-
- 034:022 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us,
- to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as
- they are circumcised.
-
- 034:023 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of
- their's be our's? only let us consent unto them, and they will
- dwell with us.
-
- 034:024 And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that
- went out of the gate of his city; and every male was
- circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
-
- 034:025 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore,
- that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's
- brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city
- boldly, and slew all the males.
-
- 034:026 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the
- sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.
-
- 034:027 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city,
- because they had defiled their sister.
-
- 034:028 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and
- that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
-
- 034:029 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their
- wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the
- house.
-
- 034:030 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make
- me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the
- Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they
- shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and
- I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
-
- 034:031 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an
- harlot?
-
- 035:001 And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell
- there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto
- thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
-
- 035:002 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with
- him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be
- clean, and change your garments:
-
- 035:003 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there
- an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress,
- and was with me in the way which I went.
-
- 035:004 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in
- their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears;
- and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
-
- 035:005 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities
- that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the
- sons of Jacob.
-
- 035:006 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is,
- Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
-
- 035:007 And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel:
- because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the
- face of his brother.
-
- 035:008 But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath
- Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called
- Allonbachuth.
-
- 035:009 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of
- Padanaram, and blessed him.
-
- 035:010 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not
- be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he
- called his name Israel.
-
- 035:011 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and
- multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee,
- and kings shall come out of thy loins;
-
- 035:012 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will
- give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
-
- 035:013 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with
- him.
-
- 035:014 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with
- him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering
- thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
-
- 035:015 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with
- him, Bethel.
-
- 035:016 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way
- to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard
- labour.
-
- 035:017 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the
- midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son
- also.
-
- 035:018 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she
- died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called
- him Benjamin.
-
- 035:019 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which
- is Bethlehem.
-
- 035:020 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of
- Rachel's grave unto this day.
-
- 035:021 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of
- Edar.
-
- 035:022 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that
- Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and
- Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
-
- 035:023 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and
- Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
-
- 035:024 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
-
- 035:025 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
-
- 035:026 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these
- are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.
-
- 035:027 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city
- of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
-
- 035:028 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
-
- 035:029 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto
- his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and
- Jacob buried him.
-
- 036:001 Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.
-
- 036:002 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the
- daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of
- Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
-
- 036:003 And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
-
- 036:004 And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;
-
- 036:005 And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are
- the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of
- Canaan.
-
- 036:006 And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and
- all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his
- beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of
- Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother
- Jacob.
-
- 036:007 For their riches were more than that they might dwell
- together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not
- bear them because of their cattle.
-
- 036:008 Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.
-
- 036:009 And these are the generations of Esau the father of the
- Edomites in mount Seir:
-
- 036:010 These are the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah
- the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau.
-
- 036:011 And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam,
- and Kenaz.
-
- 036:012 And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to
- Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife.
-
- 036:013 And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah,
- and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
-
- 036:014 And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah
- the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau
- Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.
-
- 036:015 These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the
- firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke
- Kenaz,
-
- 036:016 Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes
- that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons
- of Adah.
-
- 036:017 And these are the sons of Reuel Esau's son; duke Nahath, duke
- Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that
- came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of
- Bashemath Esau's wife.
-
- 036:018 And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau's wife; duke Jeush,
- duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these were the dukes that came of
- Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife.
-
- 036:019 These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their
- dukes.
-
- 036:020 These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land;
- Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,
-
- 036:021 And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the
- Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.
-
- 036:022 And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's
- sister was Timna.
-
- 036:023 And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath,
- and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
-
- 036:024 And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah:
- this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as
- he fed the asses of Zibeon his father.
-
- 036:025 And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah
- the daughter of Anah.
-
- 036:026 And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and
- Ithran, and Cheran.
-
- 036:027 The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan.
-
- 036:028 The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran.
-
- 036:029 These are the dukes that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke
- Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah,
-
- 036:030 Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that
- came of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir.
-
- 036:031 And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom,
- before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.
-
- 036:032 And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his
- city was Dinhabah.
-
- 036:033 And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in
- his stead.
-
- 036:034 And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in
- his stead.
-
- 036:035 And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian
- in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of
- his city was Avith.
-
- 036:036 And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.
-
- 036:037 And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in
- his stead.
-
- 036:038 And Saul died, and Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his
- stead.
-
- 036:039 And Baalhanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his
- stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name
- was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of
- Mezahab.
-
- 036:040 And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau,
- according to their families, after their places, by their
- names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth,
-
- 036:041 Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon,
-
- 036:042 Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar,
-
- 036:043 Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according
- to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is
- Esau the father of the Edomites.
-
- 037:001 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger,
- in the land of Canaan.
-
- 037:002 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen
- years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the
- lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah,
- his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their
- evil report.
-
- 037:003 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he
- was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many
- colours.
-
- 037:004 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more
- than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak
- peaceably unto him.
-
- 037:005 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and
- they hated him yet the more.
-
- 037:006 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I
- have dreamed:
-
- 037:007 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my
- sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves
- stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
-
- 037:008 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us?
- or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him
- yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
-
- 037:009 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren,
- and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold,
- the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to
- me.
-
- 037:010 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his
- father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that
- thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren
- indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
-
- 037:011 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the
- saying.
-
- 037:012 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
-
- 037:013 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the
- flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he
- said to him, Here am I.
-
- 037:014 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well
- with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word
- again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came
- to Shechem.
-
- 037:015 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in
- the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
-
- 037:016 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where
- they feed their flocks.
-
- 037:017 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them
- say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren,
- and found them in Dothan.
-
- 037:018 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto
- them, they conspired against him to slay him.
-
- 037:019 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
-
- 037:020 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into
- some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him:
- and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
-
- 037:021 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands;
- and said, Let us not kill him.
-
- 037:022 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into
- this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him;
- that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to
- his father again.
-
- 037:023 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren,
- that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many
- colours that was on him;
-
- 037:024 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was
- empty, there was no water in it.
-
- 037:025 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes
- and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from
- Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh,
- going to carry it down to Egypt.
-
- 037:026 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay
- our brother, and conceal his blood?
-
- 037:027 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our
- hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his
- brethren were content.
-
- 037:028 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and
- lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the
- Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought
- Joseph into Egypt.
-
- 037:029 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not
- in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
-
- 037:030 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not;
- and I, whither shall I go?
-
- 037:031 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats,
- and dipped the coat in the blood;
-
- 037:032 And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to
- their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether
- it be thy son's coat or no.
-
- 037:033 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast
- hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
-
- 037:034 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins,
- and mourned for his son many days.
-
- 037:035 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him;
- but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go
- down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept
- for him.
-
- 037:036 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an
- officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
-
- 038:001 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from
- his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose
- name was Hirah.
-
- 038:002 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose
- name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
-
- 038:003 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
-
- 038:004 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his
- name Onan.
-
- 038:005 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his
- name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
-
- 038:006 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was
- Tamar.
-
- 038:007 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the
- LORD; and the LORD slew him.
-
- 038:008 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and
- marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
-
- 038:009 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to
- pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled
- it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his
- brother.
-
- 038:010 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he
- slew him also.
-
- 038:011 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow
- at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he
- said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And
- Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
-
- 038:012 And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife
- died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his
- sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the
- Adullamite.
-
- 038:013 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth
- up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
-
- 038:014 And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her
- with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place,
- which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was
- grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
-
- 038:015 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because
- she had covered her face.
-
- 038:016 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray
- thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was
- his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me,
- that thou mayest come in unto me?
-
- 038:017 And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she
- said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
-
- 038:018 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy
- signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine
- hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she
- conceived by him.
-
- 038:019 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her,
- and put on the garments of her widowhood.
-
- 038:020 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the
- Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand: but
- he found her not.
-
- 038:021 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the
- harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There
- was no harlot in this place.
-
- 038:022 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and
- also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in
- this place.
-
- 038:023 And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed:
- behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
-
- 038:024 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told
- Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the
- harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And
- Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
-
- 038:025 When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law,
- saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she
- said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and
- bracelets, and staff.
-
- 038:026 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more
- righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my
- son. And he knew her again no more.
-
- 038:027 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold,
- twins were in her womb.
-
- 038:028 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out
- his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a
- scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
-
- 038:029 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold,
- his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken
- forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called
- Pharez.
-
- 038:030 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet
- thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
-
- 039:001 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer
- of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of
- the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down
- thither.
-
- 039:002 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and
- he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
-
- 039:003 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the
- LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
-
- 039:004 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he
- made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put
- into his hand.
-
- 039:005 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him
- overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD
- blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the
- blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house,
- and in the field.
-
- 039:006 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not
- ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was
- a goodly person, and well favoured.
-
- 039:007 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife
- cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
-
- 039:008 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my
- master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath
- committed all that he hath to my hand;
-
- 039:009 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he
- kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his
- wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against
- God?
-
- 039:010 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that
- he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
-
- 039:011 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the
- house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the
- house there within.
-
- 039:012 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he
- left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
-
- 039:013 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment
- in her hand, and was fled forth,
-
- 039:014 That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto
- them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to
- mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a
- loud voice:
-
- 039:015 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice
- and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got
- him out.
-
- 039:016 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
-
- 039:017 And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The
- Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto
- me to mock me:
-
- 039:018 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that
- he left his garment with me, and fled out.
-
- 039:019 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his
- wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did
- thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
-
- 039:020 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a
- place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there
- in the prison.
-
- 039:021 But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave
- him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
-
- 039:022 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all
- the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did
- there, he was the doer of it.
-
- 039:023 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was
- under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which
- he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
-
- 040:001 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the
- king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king
- of Egypt.
-
- 040:002 And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the
- chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
-
- 040:003 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the
- guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
-
- 040:004 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he
- served them: and they continued a season in ward.
-
- 040:005 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in
- one night, each man according to the interpretation of his
- dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which
- were bound in the prison.
-
- 040:006 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon
- them, and, behold, they were sad.
-
- 040:007 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward
- of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to
- day?
-
- 040:008 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is
- no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not
- interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.
-
- 040:009 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to
- him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
-
- 040:010 And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it
- budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof
- brought forth ripe grapes:
-
- 040:011 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and
- pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into
- Pharaoh's hand.
-
- 040:012 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it:
- The three branches are three days:
-
- 040:013 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and
- restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's
- cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his
- butler.
-
- 040:014 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew
- kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto
- Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
-
- 040:015 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews:
- and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into
- the dungeon.
-
- 040:016 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he
- said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had
- three white baskets on my head:
-
- 040:017 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of
- bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the
- basket upon my head.
-
- 040:018 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation
- thereof: The three baskets are three days:
-
- 040:019 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off
- thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat
- thy flesh from off thee.
-
- 040:020 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's
- birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he
- lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker
- among his servants.
-
- 040:021 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again;
- and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
-
- 040:022 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to
- them.
-
- 040:023 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
-
- 041:001 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh
- dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
-
- 041:002 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well
- favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
-
- 041:003 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the
- river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other
- kine upon the brink of the river.
-
- 041:004 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven
- well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
-
- 041:005 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven
- ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
-
- 041:006 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind
- sprung up after them.
-
- 041:007 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears.
- And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
-
- 041:008 And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was
- troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of
- Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his
- dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto
- Pharaoh.
-
- 041:009 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do
- remember my faults this day:
-
- 041:010 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the
- captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:
-
- 041:011 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each
- man according to the interpretation of his dream.
-
- 041:012 And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to
- the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted
- to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did
- interpret.
-
- 041:013 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he
- restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
-
- 041:014 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him
- hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed
- his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
-
- 041:015 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and
- there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of
- thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
-
- 041:016 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God
- shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
-
- 041:017 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood
- upon the bank of the river:
-
- 041:018 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine,
- fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
-
- 041:019 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and
- very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all
- the land of Egypt for badness:
-
- 041:020 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first
- seven fat kine:
-
- 041:021 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that
- they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at
- the beginning. So I awoke.
-
- 041:022 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one
- stalk, full and good:
-
- 041:023 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the
- east wind, sprung up after them:
-
- 041:024 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told
- this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare
- it to me.
-
- 041:025 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God
- hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
-
- 041:026 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears
- are seven years: the dream is one.
-
- 041:027 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after
- them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with
- the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
-
- 041:028 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God
- is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
-
- 041:029 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all
- the land of Egypt:
-
- 041:030 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and
- all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and
- the famine shall consume the land;
-
- 041:031 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of
- that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
-
- 041:032 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is
- because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly
- bring it to pass.
-
- 041:033 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise,
- and set him over the land of Egypt.
-
- 041:034 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the
- land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the
- seven plenteous years.
-
- 041:035 And let them gather all the food of those good years that
- come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them
- keep food in the cities.
-
- 041:036 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven
- years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the
- land perish not through the famine.
-
- 041:037 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes
- of all his servants.
-
- 041:038 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as
- this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
-
- 041:039 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed
- thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
-
- 041:040 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall
- all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater
- than thou.
-
- 041:041 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all
- the land of Egypt.
-
- 041:042 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon
- Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and
- put a gold chain about his neck;
-
- 041:043 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had;
- and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler
- over all the land of Egypt.
-
- 041:044 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee
- shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of
- Egypt.
-
- 041:045 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave
- him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On.
- And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
-
- 041:046 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh
- king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of
- Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
-
- 041:047 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by
- handfuls.
-
- 041:048 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were
- in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the
- food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he
- up in the same.
-
- 041:049 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much,
- until he left numbering; for it was without number.
-
- 041:050 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine
- came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On
- bare unto him.
-
- 041:051 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God,
- said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's
- house.
-
- 041:052 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath
- caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
-
- 041:053 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of
- Egypt, were ended.
-
- 041:054 And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as
- Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all
- the land of Egypt there was bread.
-
- 041:055 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried
- to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians,
- Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
-
- 041:056 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph
- opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and
- the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
-
- 041:057 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn;
- because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
-
- 042:001 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said
- unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
-
- 042:002 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt:
- get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may
- live, and not die.
-
- 042:003 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
-
- 042:004 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his
- brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
-
- 042:005 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came:
- for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
-
- 042:006 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that
- sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren
- came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to
- the earth.
-
- 042:007 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made
- himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he
- said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land
- of Canaan to buy food.
-
- 042:008 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
-
- 042:009 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and
- said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land
- ye are come.
-
- 042:010 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy
- servants come.
-
- 042:011 We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are
- no spies.
-
- 042:012 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the
- land ye are come.
-
- 042:013 And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of
- one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is
- this day with our father, and one is not.
-
- 042:014 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you,
- saying, Ye are spies:
-
- 042:015 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not
- go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
-
- 042:016 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall
- be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether
- there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh
- surely ye are spies.
-
- 042:017 And he put them all together into ward three days.
-
- 042:018 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live;
- for I fear God:
-
- 042:019 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the
- house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your
- houses:
-
- 042:020 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words
- be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
-
- 042:021 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning
- our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he
- besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress
- come upon us.
-
- 042:022 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you,
- saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear?
- therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
-
- 042:023 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake
- unto them by an interpreter.
-
- 042:024 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned
- to them again, and communed with them, and took from them
- Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
-
- 042:025 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to
- restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them
- provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.
-
- 042:026 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
-
- 042:027 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender
- in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his
- sack's mouth.
-
- 042:028 And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo,
- it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they
- were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath
- done unto us?
-
- 042:029 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan,
- and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
-
- 042:030 The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and
- took us for spies of the country.
-
- 042:031 And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
-
- 042:032 We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the
- youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
-
- 042:033 And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby
- shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren
- here with me, and take food for the famine of your households,
- and be gone:
-
- 042:034 And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know
- that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I
- deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.
-
- 042:035 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold,
- every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when both
- they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were
- afraid.
-
- 042:036 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of
- my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will
- take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.
-
- 042:037 And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if
- I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will
- bring him to thee again.
-
- 042:038 And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his
- brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him
- by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my
- gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
-
- 043:001 And the famine was sore in the land.
-
- 043:002 And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which
- they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go
- again, buy us a little food.
-
- 043:003 And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest
- unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother
- be with you.
-
- 043:004 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy
- thee food:
-
- 043:005 But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the
- man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your
- brother be with you.
-
- 043:006 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell
- the man whether ye had yet a brother?
-
- 043:007 And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of
- our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another
- brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these
- words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your
- brother down?
-
- 043:008 And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me,
- and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both
- we, and thou, and also our little ones.
-
- 043:009 I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him:
- if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then
- let me bear the blame for ever:
-
- 043:010 For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this
- second time.
-
- 043:011 And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now,
- do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels,
- and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little
- honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:
-
- 043:012 And take double money in your hand; and the money that was
- brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in
- your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:
-
- 043:013 Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
-
- 043:014 And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may
- send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved
- of my children, I am bereaved.
-
- 043:015 And the men took that present, and they took double money in
- their hand and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt,
- and stood before Joseph.
-
- 043:016 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler
- of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready;
- for these men shall dine with me at noon.
-
- 043:017 And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men
- into Joseph's house.
-
- 043:018 And the men were afraid, because they were brought into
- Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was
- returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in;
- that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and
- take us for bondmen, and our asses.
-
- 043:019 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they
- communed with him at the door of the house,
-
- 043:020 And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy
- food:
-
- 043:021 And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened
- our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of
- his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it
- again in our hand.
-
- 043:022 And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food:
- we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
-
- 043:023 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God
- of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had
- your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.
-
- 043:024 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them
- water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses
- provender.
-
- 043:025 And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon:
- for they heard that they should eat bread there.
-
- 043:026 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which
- was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him
- to the earth.
-
- 043:027 And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father
- well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?
-
- 043:028 And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health,
- he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made
- obeisance.
-
- 043:029 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his
- mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom
- ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my
- son.
-
- 043:030 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his
- brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his
- chamber, and wept there.
-
- 043:031 And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself,
- and said, Set on bread.
-
- 043:032 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by
- themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by
- themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the
- Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
-
- 043:033 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his
- birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the
- men marvelled one at another.
-
- 043:034 And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but
- Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of their's. And
- they drank, and were merry with him.
-
- 044:001 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the
- men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put
- every man's money in his sack's mouth.
-
- 044:002 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the
- youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word
- that Joseph had spoken.
-
- 044:003 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they
- and their asses.
-
- 044:004 And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off,
- Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and
- when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye
- rewarded evil for good?
-
- 044:005 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed
- he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
-
- 044:006 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
-
- 044:007 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words?
- God forbid that thy servants should do according to this
- thing:
-
- 044:008 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we
- brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then
- should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
-
- 044:009 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die,
- and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
-
- 044:010 And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he
- with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be
- blameless.
-
- 044:011 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground,
- and opened every man his sack.
-
- 044:012 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the
- youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
-
- 044:013 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and
- returned to the city.
-
- 044:014 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was
- yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
-
- 044:015 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have
- done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
-
- 044:016 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we
- speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the
- iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants,
- both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
-
- 044:017 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in
- whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as
- for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
-
- 044:018 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy
- servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let
- not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as
- Pharaoh.
-
- 044:019 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a
- brother?
-
- 044:020 And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a
- child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead,
- and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
-
- 044:021 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me,
- that I may set mine eyes upon him.
-
- 044:022 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for
- if he should leave his father, his father would die.
-
- 044:023 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest
- brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
-
- 044:024 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my
- father, we told him the words of my lord.
-
- 044:025 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
-
- 044:026 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be
- with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's
- face, except our youngest brother be with us.
-
- 044:027 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife
- bare me two sons:
-
- 044:028 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in
- pieces; and I saw him not since:
-
- 044:029 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye
- shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
-
- 044:030 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the
- lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the
- lad's life;
-
- 044:031 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with
- us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the
- gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
-
- 044:032 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father,
- saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the
- blame to my father for ever.
-
- 044:033 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of
- the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his
- brethren.
-
- 044:034 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with
- me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my
- father.
-
- 045:001 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that
- stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me.
- And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself
- known unto his brethren.
-
- 045:002 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh
- heard.
-
- 045:003 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father
- yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were
- troubled at his presence.
-
- 045:004 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray
- you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your
- brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
-
- 045:005 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that
- ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve
- life.
-
- 045:006 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet
- there are five years, in the which there shall neither be
- earing nor harvest.
-
- 045:007 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the
- earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
-
- 045:008 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he
- hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house,
- and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
-
- 045:009 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith
- thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down
- unto me, tarry not:
-
- 045:010 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be
- near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's
- children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou
- hast:
-
- 045:011 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of
- famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast,
- come to poverty.
-
- 045:012 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother
- Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
-
- 045:013 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of
- all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my
- father hither.
-
- 045:014 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and
- Benjamin wept upon his neck.
-
- 045:015 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and
- after that his brethren talked with him.
-
- 045:016 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying,
- Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and
- his servants.
-
- 045:017 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do
- ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
-
- 045:018 And take your father and your households, and come unto me:
- and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye
- shall eat the fat of the land.
-
- 045:019 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the
- land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and
- bring your father, and come.
-
- 045:020 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of
- Egypt is your's.
-
- 045:021 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them
- wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them
- provision for the way.
-
- 045:022 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to
- Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five
- changes of raiment.
-
- 045:023 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden
- with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with
- corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
-
- 045:024 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said
- unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
-
- 045:025 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of
- Canaan unto Jacob their father,
-
- 045:026 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor
- over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he
- believed them not.
-
- 045:027 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said
- unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to
- carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
-
- 045:028 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I
- will go and see him before I die.
-
- 046:001 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to
- Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father
- Isaac.
-
- 046:002 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and
- said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
-
- 046:003 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go
- down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
-
- 046:004 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely
- bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine
- eyes.
-
- 046:005 And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of Israel
- carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their
- wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
-
- 046:006 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had
- gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and
- all his seed with him:
-
- 046:007 His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his
- sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into
- Egypt.
-
- 046:008 And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came
- into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.
-
- 046:009 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and
- Carmi.
-
- 046:010 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and
- Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
-
- 046:011 And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
-
- 046:012 And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez,
- and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the
- sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
-
- 046:013 And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and
- Shimron.
-
- 046:014 And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
-
- 046:015 These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in
- Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons
- and his daughters were thirty and three.
-
- 046:016 And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon,
- Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.
-
- 046:017 And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and
- Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber,
- and Malchiel.
-
- 046:018 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his
- daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.
-
- 046:019 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
-
- 046:020 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and
- Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On
- bare unto him.
-
- 046:021 And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel,
- Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
-
- 046:022 These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all
- the souls were fourteen.
-
- 046:023 And the sons of Dan; Hushim.
-
- 046:024 And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and
- Shillem.
-
- 046:025 These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his
- daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were
- seven.
-
- 046:026 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out
- of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were
- threescore and six;
-
- 046:027 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two
- souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into
- Egypt, were threescore and ten.
-
- 046:028 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face
- unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
-
- 046:029 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel
- his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he
- fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
-
- 046:030 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen
- thy face, because thou art yet alive.
-
- 046:031 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's
- house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My
- brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of
- Canaan, are come unto me;
-
- 046:032 And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed
- cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds,
- and all that they have.
-
- 046:033 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and
- shall say, What is your occupation?
-
- 046:034 That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle
- from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers:
- that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is
- an abomination unto the Egyptians.
-
- 047:001 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my
- brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they
- have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they
- are in the land of Goshen.
-
- 047:002 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented
- them unto Pharaoh.
-
- 047:003 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation?
- And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both
- we, and also our fathers.
-
- 047:004 They said morever unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are
- we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks;
- for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore,
- we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
-
- 047:005 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy
- brethren are come unto thee:
-
- 047:006 The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make
- thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let
- them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among
- them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
-
- 047:007 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before
- Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
-
- 047:008 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
-
- 047:009 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my
- pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have
- the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained
- unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the
- days of their pilgrimage.
-
- 047:010 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
-
- 047:011 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a
- possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in
- the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
-
- 047:012 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his
- father's household, with bread, according to their families.
-
- 047:013 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was
- very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of
- Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
-
- 047:014 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the
- land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which
- they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's
- house.
-
- 047:015 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of
- Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us
- bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money
- faileth.
-
- 047:016 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for
- your cattle, if money fail.
-
- 047:017 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave
- them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for
- the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them
- with bread for all their cattle for that year.
-
- 047:018 When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year,
- and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that
- our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle;
- there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our
- bodies, and our lands:
-
- 047:019 Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our
- land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will
- be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live,
- and not die, that the land be not desolate.
-
- 047:020 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the
- Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine
- prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
-
- 047:021 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end
- of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
-
- 047:022 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests
- had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their
- portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their
- lands.
-
- 047:023 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you
- this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you,
- and ye shall sow the land.
-
- 047:024 And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give
- the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own,
- for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your
- households, and for food for your little ones.
-
- 047:025 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in
- the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
-
- 047:026 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day,
- that Pharaoh should have the fifth part, except the land of
- the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.
-
- 047:027 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of
- Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and
- multiplied exceedingly.
-
- 047:028 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the
- whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
-
- 047:029 And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his
- son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in
- thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal
- kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
-
- 047:030 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of
- Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will
- do as thou hast said.
-
- 047:031 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel
- bowed himself upon the bed's head.
-
- 048:001 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph,
- Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons,
- Manasseh and Ephraim.
-
- 048:002 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh
- unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the
- bed.
-
- 048:003 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at
- Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
-
- 048:004 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and
- multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people;
- and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an
- everlasting possession.
-
- 048:005 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born
- unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into
- Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
-
- 048:006 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be
- thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in
- their inheritance.
-
- 048:007 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in
- the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little
- way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of
- Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
-
- 048:008 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
-
- 048:009 And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God
- hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray
- thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
-
- 048:010 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not
- see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them,
- and embraced them.
-
- 048:011 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy
- face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
-
- 048:012 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he
- bowed himself with his face to the earth.
-
- 048:013 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward
- Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward
- Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
-
- 048:014 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon
- Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon
- Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was
- the firstborn.
-
- 048:015 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers
- Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life
- long unto this day,
-
- 048:016 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and
- let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers
- Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the
- midst of the earth.
-
- 048:017 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon
- the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his
- father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto
- Manasseh's head.
-
- 048:018 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this
- is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
-
- 048:019 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know
- it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great:
- but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and
- his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
-
- 048:020 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel
- bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and
- he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
-
- 048:021 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be
- with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
-
- 048:022 Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren,
- which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and
- with my bow.
-
- 049:001 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves
- together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in
- the last days.
-
- 049:002 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and
- hearken unto Israel your father.
-
- 049:003 Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of
- my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of
- power:
-
- 049:004 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest
- up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to
- my couch.
-
- 049:005 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in
- their habitations.
-
- 049:006 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their
- assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger
- they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a
- wall.
-
- 049:007 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for
- it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in
- Israel.
-
- 049:008 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand
- shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children
- shall bow down before thee.
-
- 049:009 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone
- up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion;
- who shall rouse him up?
-
- 049:010 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from
- between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the
- gathering of the people be.
-
- 049:011 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the
- choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes
- in the blood of grapes:
-
- 049:012 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with
- milk.
-
- 049:013 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be
- for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
-
- 049:014 Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
-
- 049:015 And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was
- pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant
- unto tribute.
-
- 049:016 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
-
- 049:017 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that
- biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
-
- 049:018 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
-
- 049:019 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the
- last.
-
- 049:020 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal
- dainties.
-
- 049:021 Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
-
- 049:022 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well;
- whose branches run over the wall:
-
- 049:023 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and
- hated him:
-
- 049:024 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were
- made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from
- thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
-
- 049:025 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the
- Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above,
- blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the
- breasts, and of the womb:
-
- 049:026 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings
- of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting
- hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown
- of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
-
- 049:027 Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour
- the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
-
- 049:028 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that
- their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one
- according to his blessing he blessed them.
-
- 049:029 And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered
- unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in
- the field of Ephron the Hittite,
-
- 049:030 In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before
- Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the
- field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a
- buryingplace.
-
- 049:031 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they
- buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
-
- 049:032 The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was
- from the children of Heth.
-
- 049:033 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he
- gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost,
- and was gathered unto his people.
-
- 050:001 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and
- kissed him.
-
- 050:002 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his
- father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
-
- 050:003 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled
- the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians
- mourned for him threescore and ten days.
-
- 050:004 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto
- the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in
- your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
-
- 050:005 My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which
- I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou
- bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my
- father, and I will come again.
-
- 050:006 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he
- made thee swear.
-
- 050:007 And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up
- all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all
- the elders of the land of Egypt,
-
- 050:008 And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his
- father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and
- their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
-
- 050:009 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it
- was a very great company.
-
- 050:010 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond
- Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore
- lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
-
- 050:011 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the
- mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous
- mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called
- Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
-
- 050:012 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
-
- 050:013 For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried
- him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham
- bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of
- Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
-
- 050:014 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all
- that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried
- his father.
-
- 050:015 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead,
- they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will
- certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
-
- 050:016 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did
- command before he died, saying,
-
- 050:017 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the
- trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto
- thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the
- servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they
- spake unto him.
-
- 050:018 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and
- they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
-
- 050:019 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of
- God?
-
- 050:020 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it
- unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much
- people alive.
-
- 050:021 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little
- ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
-
- 050:022 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and
- Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
-
- 050:023 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the
- children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up
- upon Joseph's knees.
-
- 050:024 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely
- visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which
- he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
-
- 050:025 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God
- will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from
- hence.
-
- 050:026 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they
- embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
-
- Book 02 Exodus
-
- 001:001 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came
- into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
-
- 001:002 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
-
- 001:003 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
-
- 001:004 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
-
- 001:005 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were
- seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
-
- 001:006 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that
- generation.
-
- 001:007 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased
- abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and
- the land was filled with them.
-
- 001:008 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not
- Joseph.
-
- 001:009 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the
- children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
-
- 001:010 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.
-
- 001:011 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them
- with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure
- cities, Pithom and Raamses.
-
- 001:012 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and
- grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
-
- 001:013 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with
- rigour:
-
- 001:014 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.
-
- 001:015 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:
-
- 001:016 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.
-
- 001:017 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt
- commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
-
- 001:018 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?
-
- 001:019 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.
-
- 001:020 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people
- multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
-
- 001:021 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he
- made them houses.
-
- 001:022 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.
-
- 002:001 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a
- daughter of Levi.
-
- 002:002 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him
- that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
-
- 002:003 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.
-
- 002:004 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to
- him.
-
- 002:005 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.
-
- 002:006 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.
-
- 002:007 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?
-
- 002:008 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and
- called the child's mother.
-
- 002:009 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.
-
- 002:010 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.
-
- 002:011 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.
-
- 002:012 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.
-
- 002:013 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?
-
- 002:014 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.
-
- 002:015 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.
-
- 002:016 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came
- and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's
- flock.
-
- 002:017 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up
- and helped them, and watered their flock.
-
- 002:018 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it
- that ye are come so soon to day?
-
- 002:019 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.
-
- 002:020 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.
-
- 002:021 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses
- Zipporah his daughter.
-
- 002:022 And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he
- said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
-
- 002:023 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.
-
- 002:024 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant
- with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
-
- 002:025 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had
- respect unto them.
-
- 003:001 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.
-
- 003:002 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.
-
- 003:003 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great
- sight, why the bush is not burnt.
-
- 003:004 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.
-
- 003:005 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off
- thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
-
- 003:006 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.
-
- 003:007 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;
-
- 003:008 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.
-
- 003:009 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.
-
- 003:010 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that
- thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out
- of Egypt.
-
- 003:011 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?
-
- 003:012 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.
-
- 003:013 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?
-
- 003:014 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.
-
- 003:015 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.
-
- 003:016 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:
-
- 003:017 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.
-
- 003:018 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.
-
- 003:019 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no,
- not by a mighty hand.
-
- 003:020 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.
-
- 003:021 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.
-
- 003:022 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.
-
- 004:001 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.
-
- 004:002 And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he
- said, A rod.
-
- 004:003 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.
-
- 004:004 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:
-
- 004:005 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.
-
- 004:006 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.
-
- 004:007 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.
-
- 004:008 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.
-
- 004:009 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.
-
- 004:010 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.
-
- 004:011 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?
-
- 004:012 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee
- what thou shalt say.
-
- 004:013 And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him
- whom thou wilt send.
-
- 004:014 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.
-
- 004:015 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.
-
- 004:016 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.
-
- 004:017 And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou
- shalt do signs.
-
- 004:018 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.
-
- 004:019 And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt:
- for all the men are dead which sought thy life.
-
- 004:020 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.
-
- 004:021 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.
-
- 004:022 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel
- is my son, even my firstborn:
-
- 004:023 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.
-
- 004:024 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met
- him, and sought to kill him.
-
- 004:025 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.
-
- 004:026 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art,
- because of the circumcision.
-
- 004:027 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.
-
- 004:028 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent
- him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
-
- 004:029 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders
- of the children of Israel:
-
- 004:030 And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto
- Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
-
- 004:031 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.
-
- 005:001 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.
-
- 005:002 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.
-
- 005:003 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.
-
- 005:004 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.
-
- 005:005 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many,
- and ye make them rest from their burdens.
-
- 005:006 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the
- people, and their officers, saying,
-
- 005:007 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as
- heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
-
- 005:008 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.
-
- 005:009 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour
- therein; and let them not regard vain words.
-
- 005:010 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.
-
- 005:011 Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of
- your work shall be diminished.
-
- 005:012 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of
- Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
-
- 005:013 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works,
- your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
-
- 005:014 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?
-
- 005:015 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried
- unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy
- servants?
-
- 005:016 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.
-
- 005:017 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let
- us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.
-
- 005:018 Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given
- you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
-
- 005:019 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.
-
- 005:020 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they
- came forth from Pharaoh:
-
- 005:021 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.
-
- 005:022 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?
-
- 005:023 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.
-
- 006:001 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.
-
- 006:002 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:
-
- 006:003 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.
-
- 006:004 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.
-
- 006:005 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel,
- whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my
- covenant.
-
- 006:006 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:
-
- 006:007 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.
-
- 006:008 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.
-
- 006:009 And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they
- hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel
- bondage.
-
- 006:010 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 006:011 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the
- children of Israel go out of his land.
-
- 006:012 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?
-
- 006:013 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.
-
- 006:014 These be the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of
- Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and
- Carmi: these be the families of Reuben.
-
- 006:015 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and
- Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman:
- these are the families of Simeon.
-
- 006:016 And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their
- generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of
- the life of Levi were an hundred thirty and seven years.
-
- 006:017 The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their
- families.
-
- 006:018 And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and
- Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath were an hundred
- thirty and three years.
-
- 006:019 And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the
- families of Levi according to their generations.
-
- 006:020 And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and
- she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of
- Amram were an hundred and thirty and seven years.
-
- 006:021 And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
-
- 006:022 And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
-
- 006:023 And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of
- Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar,
- and Ithamar.
-
- 006:024 And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these
- are the families of the Korhites.
-
- 006:025 And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of
- Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these are the heads
- of the fathers of the Levites according to their families.
-
- 006:026 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.
-
- 006:027 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.
-
- 006:028 And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto Moses
- in the land of Egypt,
-
- 006:029 That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak
- thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
-
- 006:030 And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised
- lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
-
- 007:001 And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to
- Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
-
- 007:002 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.
-
- 007:003 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and
- my wonders in the land of Egypt.
-
- 007:004 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.
-
- 007:005 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.
-
- 007:006 And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did
- they.
-
- 007:007 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and
- three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
-
- 007:008 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
-
- 007:009 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.
-
- 007:010 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.
-
- 007:011 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now
- the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with
- their enchantments.
-
- 007:012 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became
- serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
-
- 007:013 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto
- them; as the LORD had said.
-
- 007:014 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he
- refuseth to let the people go.
-
- 007:015 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.
-
- 007:016 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.
-
- 007:017 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.
-
- 007:018 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.
-
- 007:019 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.
-
- 007:020 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.
-
- 007:021 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.
-
- 007:022 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.
-
- 007:023 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set
- his heart to this also.
-
- 007:024 And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water
- to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
-
- 007:025 And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten
- the river.
-
- 008:001 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.
-
- 008:002 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all
- thy borders with frogs:
-
- 008:003 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:
-
- 008:004 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people,
- and upon all thy servants.
-
- 008:005 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.
-
- 008:006 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and
- the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
-
- 008:007 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought
- up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
-
- 008:008 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.
-
- 008:009 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?
-
- 008:010 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.
-
- 008:011 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.
-
- 008:012 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried
- unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought
- against Pharaoh.
-
- 008:013 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.
-
- 008:014 And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land
- stank.
-
- 008:015 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his
- heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
-
- 008:016 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.
-
- 008:017 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.
-
- 008:018 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.
-
- 008:019 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.
-
- 008:020 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.
-
- 008:021 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.
-
- 008:022 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.
-
- 008:023 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to
- morrow shall this sign be.
-
- 008:024 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.
-
- 008:025 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye,
- sacrifice to your God in the land.
-
- 008:026 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?
-
- 008:027 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and
- sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.
-
- 008:028 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.
-
- 008:029 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.
-
- 008:030 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
-
- 008:031 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.
-
- 008:032 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither
- would he let the people go.
-
- 009:001 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.
-
- 009:002 For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
-
- 009:003 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.
-
- 009:004 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.
-
- 009:005 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD
- shall do this thing in the land.
-
- 009:006 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.
-
- 009:007 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.
-
- 009:008 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.
-
- 009:009 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.
-
- 009:010 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.
-
- 009:011 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the
- boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the
- Egyptians.
-
- 009:012 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened
- not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
-
- 009:013 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.
-
- 009:014 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.
-
- 009:015 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.
-
- 009:016 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.
-
- 009:017 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt
- not let them go?
-
- 009:018 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.
-
- 009:019 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.
-
- 009:020 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of
- Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
-
- 009:021 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his
- servants and his cattle in the field.
-
- 009:022 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.
-
- 009:023 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.
-
- 009:024 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.
-
- 009:025 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.
-
- 009:026 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were,
- was there no hail.
-
- 009:027 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.
-
- 009:028 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.
-
- 009:029 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.
-
- 009:030 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet
- fear the LORD God.
-
- 009:031 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in
- the ear, and the flax was bolled.
-
- 009:032 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not
- grown up.
-
- 009:033 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.
-
- 009:034 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.
-
- 009:035 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let
- the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
-
- 010:001 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:
-
- 010:002 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.
-
- 010:003 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.
-
- 010:004 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow
- will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
-
- 010:005 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:
-
- 010:006 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.
-
- 010:007 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?
-
- 010:008 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?
-
- 010:009 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.
-
- 010:010 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.
-
- 010:011 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.
-
- 010:012 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.
-
- 010:013 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.
-
- 010:014 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.
-
- 010:015 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.
-
- 010:016 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said,
- I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
-
- 010:017 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.
-
- 010:018 And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
-
- 010:019 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.
-
- 010:020 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not
- let the children of Israel go.
-
- 010:021 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.
-
- 010:022 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there
- was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
-
- 010:023 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.
-
- 010:024 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.
-
- 010:025 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt
- offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
-
- 010:026 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.
-
- 010:027 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let
- them go.
-
- 010:028 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.
-
- 010:029 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face
- again no more.
-
- 011:001 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.
-
- 011:002 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.
-
- 011:003 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.
-
- 011:004 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go
- out into the midst of Egypt:
-
- 011:005 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.
-
- 011:006 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.
-
- 011:007 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.
-
- 011:008 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.
-
- 011:009 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto
- you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
-
- 011:010 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.
-
- 012:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt
- saying,
-
- 012:002 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall
- be the first month of the year to you.
-
- 012:003 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:
-
- 012:004 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.
-
- 012:005 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year:
- ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
-
- 012:006 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.
-
- 012:007 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.
-
- 012:008 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire,
- and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
-
- 012:009 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.
-
- 012:010 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.
-
- 012:011 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.
-
- 012:012 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.
-
- 012:013 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.
-
- 012:014 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.
-
- 012:015 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.
-
- 012:016 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.
-
- 012:017 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.
-
- 012:018 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.
-
- 012:019 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.
-
- 012:020 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall
- ye eat unleavened bread.
-
- 012:021 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.
-
- 012:022 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.
-
- 012:023 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.
-
- 012:024 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and
- to thy sons for ever.
-
- 012:025 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.
-
- 012:026 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto
- you, What mean ye by this service?
-
- 012:027 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.
-
- 012:028 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had
- commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
-
- 012:029 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.
-
- 012:030 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.
-
- 012:031 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.
-
- 012:032 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be
- gone; and bless me also.
-
- 012:033 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.
-
- 012:034 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their
- kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their
- shoulders.
-
- 012:035 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:
-
- 012:036 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.
-
- 012:037 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth,
- about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside
- children.
-
- 012:038 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and
- herds, even very much cattle.
-
- 012:039 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.
-
- 012:040 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in
- Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
-
- 012:041 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.
-
- 012:042 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.
-
- 012:043 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance
- of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
-
- 012:044 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou
- hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
-
- 012:045 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
-
- 012:046 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.
-
- 012:047 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
-
- 012:048 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.
-
- 012:049 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the
- stranger that sojourneth among you.
-
- 012:050 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded
- Moses and Aaron, so did they.
-
- 012:051 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.
-
- 013:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 013:002 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the
- womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast:
- it is mine.
-
- 013:003 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.
-
- 013:004 This day came ye out in the month Abib.
-
- 013:005 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.
-
- 013:006 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh
- day shall be a feast to the LORD.
-
- 013:007 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.
-
- 013:008 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.
-
- 013:009 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.
-
- 013:010 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from
- year to year.
-
- 013:011 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,
-
- 013:012 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.
-
- 013:013 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.
-
- 013:014 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:
-
- 013:015 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.
-
- 013:016 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.
-
- 013:017 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:
-
- 013:018 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.
-
- 013:019 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.
-
- 013:020 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in
- Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
-
- 013:021 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:
-
- 013:022 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the
- pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
-
- 014:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 014:002 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.
-
- 014:003 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are
- entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
-
- 014:004 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.
-
- 014:005 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?
-
- 014:006 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
-
- 014:007 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots
- of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
-
- 014:008 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.
-
- 014:009 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.
-
- 014:010 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.
-
- 014:011 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?
-
- 014:012 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.
-
- 014:013 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.
-
- 014:014 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
-
- 014:015 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me?
- speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
-
- 014:016 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.
-
- 014:017 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.
-
- 014:018 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.
-
- 014:019 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:
-
- 014:020 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.
-
- 014:021 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.
-
- 014:022 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.
-
- 014:023 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.
-
- 014:024 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,
-
- 014:025 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.
-
- 014:026 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.
-
- 014:027 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.
-
- 014:028 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.
-
- 014:029 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.
-
- 014:030 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the
- Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea
- shore.
-
- 014:031 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.
-
- 015:001 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.
-
- 015:002 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.
-
- 015:003 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
-
- 015:004 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his
- chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
-
- 015:005 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a
- stone.
-
- 015:006 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right
- hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
-
- 015:007 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.
-
- 015:008 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.
-
- 015:009 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.
-
- 015:010 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank
- as lead in the mighty waters.
-
- 015:011 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like
- thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
-
- 015:012 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
-
- 015:013 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast
- redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy
- habitation.
-
- 015:014 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold
- on the inhabitants of Palestina.
-
- 015:015 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.
-
- 015:016 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.
-
- 015:017 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.
-
- 015:018 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
-
- 015:019 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.
-
- 015:020 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.
-
- 015:021 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.
-
- 015:022 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.
-
- 015:023 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.
-
- 015:024 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we
- drink?
-
- 015:025 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,
-
- 015:026 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.
-
- 015:027 And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and
- threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the
- waters.
-
- 016:001 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.
-
- 016:002 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured
- against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
-
- 016:003 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.
-
- 016:004 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.
-
- 016:005 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.
-
- 016:006 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:
-
- 016:007 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?
-
- 016:008 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.
-
- 016:009 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.
-
- 016:010 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.
-
- 016:011 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 016:012 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.
-
- 016:013 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.
-
- 016:014 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.
-
- 016:015 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.
-
- 016:016 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.
-
- 016:017 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more,
- some less.
-
- 016:018 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.
-
- 016:019 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
-
- 016:020 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.
-
- 016:021 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his
- eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
-
- 016:022 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.
-
- 016:023 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.
-
- 016:024 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it
- did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
-
- 016:025 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.
-
- 016:026 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is
- the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
-
- 016:027 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on
- the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
-
- 016:028 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my
- commandments and my laws?
-
- 016:029 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.
-
- 016:030 So the people rested on the seventh day.
-
- 016:031 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.
-
- 016:032 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.
-
- 016:033 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.
-
- 016:034 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the
- Testimony, to be kept.
-
- 016:035 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.
-
- 016:036 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
-
- 017:001 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.
-
- 017:002 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?
-
- 017:003 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?
-
- 017:004 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto
- this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
-
- 017:005 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.
-
- 017:006 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.
-
- 017:007 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?
-
- 017:008 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
-
- 017:009 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.
-
- 017:010 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.
-
- 017:011 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel
- prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
-
- 017:012 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.
-
- 017:013 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of
- the sword.
-
- 017:014 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.
-
- 017:015 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it
- Jehovahnissi:
-
- 017:016 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will
- have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
-
- 018:001 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;
-
- 018:002 Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife,
- after he had sent her back,
-
- 018:003 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:
-
- 018:004 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:
-
- 018:005 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:
-
- 018:006 And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come
- unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
-
- 018:007 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.
-
- 018:008 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.
-
- 018:009 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.
-
- 018:010 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.
-
- 018:011 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the
- thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
-
- 018:012 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.
-
- 018:013 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.
-
- 018:014 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?
-
- 018:015 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come
- unto me to enquire of God:
-
- 018:016 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.
-
- 018:017 And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou
- doest is not good.
-
- 018:018 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.
-
- 018:019 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:
-
- 018:020 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.
-
- 018:021 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:
-
- 018:022 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.
-
- 018:023 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.
-
- 018:024 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did
- all that he had said.
-
- 018:025 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.
-
- 018:026 And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes
- they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged
- themselves.
-
- 018:027 And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way
- into his own land.
-
- 019:001 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.
-
- 019:002 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.
-
- 019:003 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;
-
- 019:004 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you
- on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
-
- 019:005 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:
-
- 019:006 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.
-
- 019:007 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and
- laid before their faces all these words which the LORD
- commanded him.
-
- 019:008 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.
-
- 019:009 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.
-
- 019:010 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify
- them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
-
- 019:011 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.
-
- 019:012 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:
-
- 019:013 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.
-
- 019:014 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and
- sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
-
- 019:015 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day:
- come not at your wives.
-
- 019:016 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.
-
- 019:017 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet
- with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
-
- 019:018 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.
-
- 019:019 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed
- louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a
- voice.
-
- 019:020 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.
-
- 019:021 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.
-
- 019:022 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD,
- sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
-
- 019:023 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.
-
- 019:024 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.
-
- 019:025 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
-
- 020:001 And God spake all these words, saying,
-
- 020:002 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land
- of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
-
- 020:003 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
-
- 020:004 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.
-
- 020:005 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;
-
- 020:006 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and
- keep my commandments.
-
- 020:007 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.
-
- 020:008 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
-
- 020:009 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
-
- 020:010 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:
-
- 020:011 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.
-
- 020:012 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long
- upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
-
- 020:013 Thou shalt not kill.
-
- 020:014 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
-
- 020:015 Thou shalt not steal.
-
- 020:016 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
-
- 020:017 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.
-
- 020:018 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.
-
- 020:019 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will
- hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
-
- 020:020 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.
-
- 020:021 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the
- thick darkness where God was.
-
- 020:022 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.
-
- 020:023 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye
- make unto you gods of gold.
-
- 020:024 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.
-
- 020:025 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.
-
- 020:026 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy
- nakedness be not discovered thereon.
-
- 021:001 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
-
- 021:002 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and
- in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
-
- 021:003 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he
- were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
-
- 021:004 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.
-
- 021:005 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my
- wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
-
- 021:006 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.
-
- 021:007 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall
- not go out as the menservants do.
-
- 021:008 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.
-
- 021:009 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with
- her after the manner of daughters.
-
- 021:010 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her
- duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
-
- 021:011 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out
- free without money.
-
- 021:012 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to
- death.
-
- 021:013 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.
-
- 021:014 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.
-
- 021:015 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely
- put to death.
-
- 021:016 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found
- in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
-
- 021:017 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be
- put to death.
-
- 021:018 And if men strive together, and one smite another with a
- stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
-
- 021:019 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.
-
- 021:020 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and
- he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
-
- 021:021 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be
- punished: for he is his money.
-
- 021:022 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.
-
- 021:023 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for
- life,
-
- 021:024 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
-
- 021:025 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
-
- 021:026 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.
-
- 021:027 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.
-
- 021:028 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.
-
- 021:029 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.
-
- 021:030 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.
-
- 021:031 Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter,
- according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.
-
- 021:032 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.
-
- 021:033 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;
-
- 021:034 The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto
- the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
-
- 021:035 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.
-
- 021:036 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.
-
- 022:001 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.
-
- 022:002 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die,
- there shall no blood be shed for him.
-
- 022:003 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.
-
- 022:004 If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it
- be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
-
- 022:005 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.
-
- 022:006 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.
-
- 022:007 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.
-
- 022:008 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.
-
- 022:009 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.
-
- 022:010 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:
-
- 022:011 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.
-
- 022:012 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto
- the owner thereof.
-
- 022:013 If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness,
- and he shall not make good that which was torn.
-
- 022:014 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.
-
- 022:015 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.
-
- 022:016 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with
- her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
-
- 022:017 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall
- pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
-
- 022:018 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
-
- 022:019 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
-
- 022:020 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he
- shall be utterly destroyed.
-
- 022:021 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye
- were strangers in the land of Egypt.
-
- 022:022 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
-
- 022:023 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me,
- I will surely hear their cry;
-
- 022:024 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the
- sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children
- fatherless.
-
- 022:025 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.
-
- 022:026 If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou
- shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
-
- 022:027 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.
-
- 022:028 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy
- people.
-
- 022:029 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.
-
- 022:030 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.
-
- 022:031 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.
-
- 023:001 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with
- the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
-
- 023:002 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt
- thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
-
- 023:003 Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
-
- 023:004 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou
- shalt surely bring it back to him again.
-
- 023:005 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.
-
- 023:006 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
-
- 023:007 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and
- righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
-
- 023:008 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise,
- and perverteth the words of the righteous.
-
- 023:009 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart
- of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
-
- 023:010 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the
- fruits thereof:
-
- 023:011 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.
-
- 023:012 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.
-
- 023:013 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.
-
- 023:014 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
-
- 023:015 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:)
-
- 023:016 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.
-
- 023:017 Three items in the year all thy males shall appear before the
- LORD God.
-
- 023:018 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened
- bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the
- morning.
-
- 023:019 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.
-
- 023:020 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way,
- and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
-
- 023:021 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he
- will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
-
- 023:022 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.
-
- 023:023 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.
-
- 023:024 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.
-
- 023:025 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.
-
- 023:026 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy
- land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
-
- 023:027 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.
-
- 023:028 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the
- Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
-
- 023:029 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.
-
- 023:030 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee,
- until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
-
- 023:031 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.
-
- 023:032 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
-
- 023:033 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.
-
- 024:001 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.
-
- 024:002 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not
- come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
-
- 024:003 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.
-
- 024:004 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.
-
- 024:005 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered
- burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto
- the LORD.
-
- 024:006 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and
- half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
-
- 024:007 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.
-
- 024:008 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.
-
- 024:009 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy
- of the elders of Israel:
-
- 024:010 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.
-
- 024:011 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his
- hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
-
- 024:012 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.
-
- 024:013 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up
- into the mount of God.
-
- 024:014 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.
-
- 024:015 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the
- mount.
-
- 024:016 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.
-
- 024:017 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.
-
- 024:018 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.
-
- 025:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 025:002 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.
-
- 025:003 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold,
- and silver, and brass,
-
- 025:004 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats'
- hair,
-
- 025:005 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim
- wood,
-
- 025:006 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet
- incense,
-
- 025:007 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the
- breastplate.
-
- 025:008 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
-
- 025:009 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.
-
- 025:010 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.
-
- 025:011 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.
-
- 025:012 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.
-
- 025:013 And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them
- with gold.
-
- 025:014 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of
- the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
-
- 025:015 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be
- taken from it.
-
- 025:016 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall
- give thee.
-
- 025:017 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.
-
- 025:018 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work
- shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
-
- 025:019 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.
-
- 025:020 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.
-
- 025:021 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.
-
- 025:022 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.
-
- 025:023 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.
-
- 025:024 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a
- crown of gold round about.
-
- 025:025 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.
-
- 025:026 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.
-
- 025:027 Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the
- staves to bear the table.
-
- 025:028 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay
- them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
-
- 025:029 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.
-
- 025:030 And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.
-
- 025:031 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.
-
- 025:032 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:
-
- 025:033 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.
-
- 025:034 And in the candlesticks shall be four bowls made like unto
- almonds, with their knops and their flowers.
-
- 025:035 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.
-
- 025:036 Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it
- shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
-
- 025:037 And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall
- light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against
- it.
-
- 025:038 And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be
- of pure gold.
-
- 025:039 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these
- vessels.
-
- 025:040 And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was
- shewed thee in the mount.
-
- 026:001 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.
-
- 026:002 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.
-
- 026:003 The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another;
- and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.
-
- 026:004 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.
-
- 026:005 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.
-
- 026:006 And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the
- curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one
- tabernacle.
-
- 026:007 And thou shalt make curtains of goats' hair to be a covering
- upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make.
-
- 026:008 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.
-
- 026:009 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.
-
- 026:010 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.
-
- 026:011 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.
-
- 026:012 And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent,
- the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside
- of the tabernacle.
-
- 026:013 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.
-
- 026:014 And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins
- dyed red, and a covering above of badgers' skins.
-
- 026:015 And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood
- standing up.
-
- 026:016 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a
- half shall be the breadth of one board.
-
- 026:017 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.
-
- 026:018 And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty
- boards on the south side southward.
-
- 026:019 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.
-
- 026:020 And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side
- there shall be twenty boards:
-
- 026:021 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one
- board, and two sockets under another board.
-
- 026:022 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make
- six boards.
-
- 026:023 And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the
- tabernacle in the two sides.
-
- 026:024 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.
-
- 026:025 And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver,
- sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets
- under another board.
-
- 026:026 And thou shalt make bars of shittim wood; five for the boards
- of the one side of the tabernacle,
-
- 026:027 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.
-
- 026:028 And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from
- end to end.
-
- 026:029 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.
-
- 026:030 And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion
- thereof which was shewed thee in the mount.
-
- 026:031 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:
-
- 026:032 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.
-
- 026:033 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.
-
- 026:034 And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the
- testimony in the most holy place.
-
- 026:035 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.
-
- 026:036 And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of
- blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought
- with needlework.
-
- 026:037 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.

-
- 027:004 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.
-
- 027:005 And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath,
- that the net may be even to the midst of the altar.
-
- 027:006 And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of shittim
- wood, and overlay them with brass.
-
- 027:007 And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves
- shall be upon the two sides of the altar, to bear it.
-
- 027:008 Hollow with boards shalt thou make it: as it was shewed thee
- in the mount, so shall they make it.
-
- 027:009 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:
-
- 027:010 And the twenty pillars thereof and their twenty sockets shall
- be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall

- be of brass.
-
- 027:020 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.
-
- 027:021 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.
-
- 028:001 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.
-
- 028:002 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for
- glory and for beauty.
-
- 028:003 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.
-
- 028:004 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.
-
- 028:005 And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet,
- and fine linen.
-
- 028:006 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple,
- of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.
-
- 028:007 It shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two
- edges thereof; and so it shall be joined together.
-
- 028:008 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.
-
- 028:009 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the
- names of the children of Israel:
-
- 028:010 Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of
- the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
-
- 028:011 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.
-
- 028:012 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.
-
- 028:013 And thou shalt make ouches of gold;
-
- 028:014 And two chains of pure gold at the ends; of wreathen work
- shalt thou make them, and fasten the wreathen chains to the
- ouches.
-
- 028:015 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.
-
- 028:016 Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be the
- length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof.
-
- 028:017 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.
-
- 028:018 And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a
- diamond.
-
- 028:019 And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
-
- 028:020 And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they
- shall be set in gold in their inclosings.
-
- 028:021 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.
-
- 028:022 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains at the ends of
- wreathen work of pure gold.
-
- 028:023 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold,
- and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the
- breastplate.
-
- 028:024 And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two
- rings which are on the ends of the breastplate.
-
- 028:025 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.
-
- 028:026 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.
-
- 028:027 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.
-
- 028:028 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.
-
- 028:029 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.
-
- 028:030 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.
-
- 028:031 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
-
- 028:032 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.
-
- 028:033 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:
-
- 028:034 A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a
- pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about.
-
- 028:035 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.
-
- 028:036 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it,
- like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
-
- 028:037 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.
-
- 028:038 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.
-
- 028:039 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.
-
- 028:040 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.
-
- 028:041 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.
-
- 028:042 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their
- nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall
- reach:
-
- 028:043 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.
-
- 029:001 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,
-
- 029:002 And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil,
- and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of wheaten flour
- shalt thou make them.
-
- 029:003 And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the
- basket, with the bullock and the two rams.
-
- 029:004 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the
- tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with
- water.
-
- 029:005 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:
-
- 029:006 And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy
- crown upon the mitre.
-
- 029:007 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his
- head, and anoint him.
-
- 029:008 And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them.
-
- 029:009 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.
-
- 029:010 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.
-
- 029:011 And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, by the door
- of the tabernacle of the congregation.
-
- 029:012 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.
-
- 029:013 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.
-
- 029:014 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.
-
- 029:015 Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put
- their hands upon the head of the ram.
-
- 029:016 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood,
- and sprinkle it round about upon the altar.
-
- 029:017 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.
-
- 029:018 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.
-
- 029:019 And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons
- shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
-
- 029:020 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.
-
- 029:021 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.
-
- 029:022 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:
-
- 029:023 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:
-
- 029:024 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.
-
- 029:025 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.
-
- 029:026 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.
-
- 029:027 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:
-
- 029:028 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.
-
- 029:029 And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him,
- to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them.
-
- 029:030 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.
-
- 029:031 And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seethe
- his flesh in the holy place.
-
- 029:032 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.
-
- 029:033 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.
-
- 029:034 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.
-
- 029:035 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.
-
- 029:036 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.
-
- 029:037 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.
-
- 029:038 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two
- lambs of the first year day by day continually.
-
- 029:039 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other
- lamb thou shalt offer at even:
-
- 029:040 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.
-
- 029:041 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.
-
- 029:042 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.
-
- 029:043 And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the
- tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory.
-
- 029:044 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.
-
- 029:045 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be
- their God.
-
- 029:046 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.
-
- 030:001 And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim
- wood shalt thou make it.
-
- 030:002 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.
-
- 030:003 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.
-
- 030:004 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.
-
- 030:005 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay
- them with gold.
-
- 030:006 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.
-
- 030:007 And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when
- he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
-
- 030:008 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn
- incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD
- throughout your generations.
-
- 030:009 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt
- sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink
- offering thereon.
-
- 030:010 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.
-
- 030:011 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 030:012 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.
-
- 030:013 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.
-
- 030:014 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from
- twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the
- LORD.
-
- 030:015 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.
-
- 030:016 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.
-
- 030:017 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 030:018 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.
-
- 030:019 For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet
- thereat:
-
- 030:020 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:
-
- 030:021 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.
-
- 030:022 Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 030:023 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,
-
- 030:024 And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the
- sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
-
- 030:025 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.
-
- 030:026 And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation
- therewith, and the ark of the testimony,
-
- 030:027 And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his
- vessels, and the altar of incense,
-
- 030:028 And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the
- laver and his foot.
-
- 030:029 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy:
- whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
-
- 030:030 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them,
- that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
-
- 030:031 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This
- shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your
- generations.
-
- 030:032 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.
-
- 030:033 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of
- it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
-
- 030:034 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:
-
- 030:035 And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art
- of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:
-
- 030:036 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.
-
- 030:037 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.
-
- 030:038 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall
- even be cut off from his people.
-
- 031:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 031:002 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of
- Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
-
- 031:003 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and
- in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of
- workmanship,
-
- 031:004 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and
- in brass,
-
- 031:005 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of
- timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
-
- 031:006 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;
-
- 031:007 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,
-
- 031:008 And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with
- all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
-
- 031:009 And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and
- the laver and his foot,
-
- 031:010 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,
-
- 031:011 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place:
- according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
-
- 031:012 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 031:013 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.
-
- 031:014 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.
-
- 031:015 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.
-
- 031:016 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to
- observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a
- perpetual covenant.
-
- 031:017 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.
-
- 031:018 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.
-
- 032:001 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.
-
- 032:002 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.
-
- 032:003 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in
- their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
-
- 032:004 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.
-
- 032:005 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.
-
- 032:006 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.
-
- 032:007 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:
-
- 032:008 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.
-
- 032:009 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and,
- behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
-
- 032:010 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.
-
- 032:011 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?
-
- 032:012 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.
-
- 032:013 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.
-
- 032:014 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto
- his people.
-
- 032:015 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.
-
- 032:016 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the
- writing of God, graven upon the tables.
-
- 032:017 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.
-
- 032:018 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.
-
- 032:019 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.
-
- 032:020 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.
-
- 032:021 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee,
- that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
-
- 032:022 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou
- knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
-
- 032:023 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.
-
- 032:024 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.
-
- 032:025 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had
- made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
-
- 032:026 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.
-
- 032:027 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.
-
- 032:028 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses:
- and there fell of the people that day about three thousand
- men.
-
- 032:029 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.
-
- 032:030 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.
-
- 032:031 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people
- have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
-
- 032:032 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot
- me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
-
- 032:033 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against
- me, him will I blot out of my book.
-
- 032:034 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.
-
- 032:035 And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf,
- which Aaron made.
-
- 033:001 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:
-
- 033:002 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:
-
- 033:003 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.
-
- 033:004 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned:
- and no man did put on him his ornaments.
-
- 033:005 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.
-
- 033:006 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their
- ornaments by the mount Horeb.
-
- 033:007 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.
-
- 033:008 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.
-
- 033:009 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.
-
- 033:010 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.
-
- 033:011 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.
-
- 033:012 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.
-
- 033:013 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.
-
- 033:014 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give
- thee rest.
-
- 033:015 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us
- not up hence.
-
- 033:016 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.
-
- 033:017 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.
-
- 033:018 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
-
- 033:019 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.
-
- 033:020 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no
- man see me, and live.
-
- 033:021 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou
- shalt stand upon a rock:
-
- 033:022 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:
-
- 033:023 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back
- parts: but my face shall not be seen.
-
- 034:001 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.
-
- 034:002 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.
-
- 034:003 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.
-
- 034:004 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.
-
- 034:005 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there,
- and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
-
- 034:006 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD,
- The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and
- abundant in goodness and truth,
-
- 034:007 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.
-
- 034:008 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and
- worshipped.
-
- 034:009 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.
-
- 034:010 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.
-
- 034:011 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.
-
- 034:012 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:
-
- 034:013 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut
- down their groves:
-
- 034:014 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name
- is Jealous, is a jealous God:
-
- 034:015 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;
-
- 034:016 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.
-
- 034:017 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
-
- 034:018 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.
-
- 034:019 All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among
- thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
-
- 034:020 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.
-
- 034:021 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt
- rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
-
- 034:022 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits
- of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's
- end.
-
- 034:023 Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before
- the LORD God, the God of Israel.
-
- 034:024 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.
-
- 034:025 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.
-
- 034:026 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.
-
- 034:027 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.
-
- 034:028 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.
-
- 034:029 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.
-
- 034:030 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.
-
- 034:031 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of
- the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with
- them.
-
- 034:032 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.
-
- 034:033 And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on
- his face.
-
- 034:034 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.
-
- 034:035 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.
-
- 035:001 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.
-
- 035:002 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.
-
- 035:003 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the
- sabbath day.
-
- 035:004 And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of
- Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded,
- saying,
-
- 035:005 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,
-
- 035:006 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats'
- hair,
-
- 035:007 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim
- wood,
-
- 035:008 And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for
- the sweet incense,
-
- 035:009 And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for
- the breastplate.
-
- 035:010 And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that
- the LORD hath commanded;
-
- 035:011 The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and
- his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
-
- 035:012 The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the
- vail of the covering,
-
- 035:013 The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the
- shewbread,
-
- 035:014 The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his
- lamps, with the oil for the light,
-
- 035:015 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,
-
- 035:016 The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his
- staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
-
- 035:017 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and
- the hanging for the door of the court,
-
- 035:018 The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and
- their cords,
-
- 035:019 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.
-
- 035:020 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed
- from the presence of Moses.
-
- 035:021 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.
-
- 035:022 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.
-
- 035:023 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.
-
- 035:024 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.
-
- 035:025 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.
-
- 035:026 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun
- goats' hair.
-
- 035:027 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for
- the ephod, and for the breastplate;
-
- 035:028 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil,
- and for the sweet incense.
-
- 035:029 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.
-
- 035:030 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;
-
- 035:031 And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in
- understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of
- workmanship;
-
- 035:032 And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver,
- and in brass,
-
- 035:033 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of
- wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
-
- 035:034 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and
- Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
-
- 035:035 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.
-
- 036:001 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.
-
- 036:002 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:
-
- 036:003 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.
-
- 036:004 And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the
- sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;
-
- 036:005 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.
-
- 036:006 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.
-
- 036:007 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make
- it, and too much.
-
- 036:008 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.
-
- 036:009 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.
-
- 036:010 And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the
- other five curtains he coupled one unto another.
-
- 036:011 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.
-
- 036:012 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.
-
- 036:013 And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one
- unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.
-
- 036:014 And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the
- tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
-
- 036:015 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits
- was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of
- one size.
-
- 036:016 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains
- by themselves.
-
- 036:017 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.
-
- 036:018 And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together,
- that it might be one.
-
- 036:019 And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red,
- and a covering of badgers' skins above that.
-
- 036:020 And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood,
- standing up.
-
- 036:021 The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a
- board one cubit and a half.
-
- 036:022 One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another:
- thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
-
- 036:023 And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the
- south side southward:
-
- 036:024 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.
-
- 036:025 And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the
- north corner, he made twenty boards,
-
- 036:026 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one
- board, and two sockets under another board.
-
- 036:027 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six
- boards.
-
- 036:028 And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in
- the two sides.
-
- 036:029 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.
-
- 036:030 And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen
- sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
-
- 036:031 And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the
- one side of the tabernacle,
-
- 036:032 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.
-
- 036:033 And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from
- the one end to the other.
-
- 036:034 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.
-
- 036:035 And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
- twined linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work.
-
- 036:036 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.
-
- 036:037 And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and
- purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;
-
- 036:038 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.
-
- 037:001 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:
-
- 037:002 And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made
- a crown of gold to it round about.
-
- 037:003 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.
-
- 037:004 And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with
- gold.
-
- 037:005 And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark,
- to bear the ark.
-
- 037:006 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.
-
- 037:007 And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece
- made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;
-
- 037:008 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.
-
- 037:009 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.
-
- 037:010 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:
-
- 037:011 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown
- of gold round about.
-
- 037:012 Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about;
- and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.
-
- 037:013 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon
- the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.
-
- 037:014 Over against the border were the rings, the places for the
- staves to bear the table.
-
- 037:015 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with
- gold, to bear the table.
-
- 037:016 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.
-
- 037:017 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:
-
- 037:018 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:
-
- 037:019 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.
-
- 037:020 And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his
- knops, and his flowers:
-
- 037:021 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.
-
- 037:022 Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was
- one beaten work of pure gold.
-
- 037:023 And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his
- snuffdishes, of pure gold.
-
- 037:024 Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels
- thereof.
-
- 037:025 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.
-
- 037:026 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.
-
- 037:027 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.
-
- 037:028 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with
- gold.
-
- 037:029 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of
- sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.
-
- 038:001 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.
-
- 038:002 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.
-
- 038:003 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.
-
- 038:004 And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the
- compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.
-
- 038:005 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of
- brass, to be places for the staves.
-
- 038:006 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with
- brass.
-
- 038:007 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.
-
- 038:008 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.
-
- 038:009 And he made the court: on the south side southward the
- hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred
- cubits:
-
- 038:010 Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty;
- the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
-
- 038:011 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.
-
- 038:012 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.
-
- 038:013 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
-
- 038:014 The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits;
- their pillars three, and their sockets three.
-
- 038:015 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.
-
- 038:016 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined
- linen.
-
- 038:017 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.
-
- 038:018 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.
-
- 038:019 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.
-
- 038:020 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round
- about, were of brass.
-
- 038:021 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.
-
- 038:022 And Bezaleel the son Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of
- Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 038:023 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.
-
- 038:024 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.
-
- 038:025 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:
-
- 038:026 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.
-
- 038:027 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.
-
- 038:028 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he
- made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and
- filleted them.
-
- 038:029 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two
- thousand and four hundred shekels.
-
- 038:030 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,
-
- 038:031 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.
-
- 039:001 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.
-
- 039:002 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet,
- and fine twined linen.
-
- 039:003 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.
-
- 039:004 They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the
- two edges was it coupled together.
-
- 039:005 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.
-
- 039:006 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold,
- graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children
- of Israel.
-
- 039:007 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.
-
- 039:008 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.
-
- 039:009 It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span
- was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being
- doubled.
-
- 039:010 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.
-
- 039:011 And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
-
- 039:012 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
-
- 039:013 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were
- inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
-
- 039:014 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.
-
- 039:015 And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of
- wreathen work of pure gold.
-
- 039:016 And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put
- the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.
-
- 039:017 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings
- on the ends of the breastplate.
-
- 039:018 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.
-
- 039:019 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.
-
- 039:020 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.
-
- 039:021 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.
-
- 039:022 And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
-
- 039:023 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.
-
- 039:024 And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue,
- and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
-
- 039:025 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;
-
- 039:026 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.
-
- 039:027 And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and
- for his sons,
-
- 039:028 And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen,
- and linen breeches of fine twined linen,
-
- 039:029 And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and
- scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 039:030 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.
-
- 039:031 And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high
- upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 039:032 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.
-
- 039:033 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,
-
- 039:034 And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of
- badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,
-
- 039:035 The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the
- mercy seat,
-
- 039:036 The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,
-
- 039:037 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,
-
- 039:038 And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet
- incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,
-
- 039:039 The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all
- his vessels, the laver and his foot,
-
- 039:040 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,
-
- 039:041 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.
-
- 039:042 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the
- children of Israel made all the work.
-
- 039:043 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.
-
- 040:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 040:002 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the
- tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
-
- 040:003 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover
- the ark with the vail.
-
- 040:004 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.
-
- 040:005 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.
-
- 040:006 And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the
- door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
-
- 040:007 And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the
- congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.
-
- 040:008 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the
- hanging at the court gate.
-
- 040:009 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.
-
- 040:010 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.
-
- 040:011 And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
-
- 040:012 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the
- tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
-
- 040:013 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.
-
- 040:014 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
-
- 040:015 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.
-
- 040:016 Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him,
- so did he.
-
- 040:017 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.
-
- 040:018 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.
-
- 040:019 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the
- covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded
- Moses.
-
- 040:020 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:
-
- 040:021 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.
-
- 040:022 And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the
- side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
-
- 040:023 And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the
- LORD had commanded Moses.
-
- 040:024 And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation,
- over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle
- southward.
-
- 040:025 And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD
- commanded Moses.
-
- 040:026 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation
- before the vail:
-
- 040:027 And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded
- Moses.
-
- 040:028 And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.
-
- 040:029 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.
-
- 040:030 And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and
- the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.
-
- 040:031 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their
- feet thereat:
-
- 040:032 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when
- they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD
- commanded Moses.
-
- 040:033 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.
-
- 040:034 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the
- glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
-
- 040:035 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.
-
- 040:036 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the
- children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
-
- 040:037 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not
- till the day that it was taken up.
-
- 040:038 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.
-
- Book 03 Leviticus
-
- 001:001 And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the
- tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
-
- 001:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any
- man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring
- your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the
- flock.
-
- 001:003 If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him
- offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own
- voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the
- congregation before the LORD.
-
- 001:004 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering;
- and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
-
- 001:005 And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the
- priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the
- blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the
- tabernacle of the congregation.
-
- 001:006 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his
- pieces.
-
- 001:007 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the
- altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:
-
- 001:008 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head,
- and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which
- is upon the altar:
-
- 001:009 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the
- priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice,
- an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
-
- 001:010 And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or
- of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male
- without blemish.
-
- 001:011 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before
- the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his
- blood round about upon the altar.
-
- 001:012 And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his
- fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that
- is on the fire which is upon the altar:
-
- 001:013 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the
- priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a
- burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour
- unto the LORD.
-
- 001:014 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of
- fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of
- young pigeons.
-
- 001:015 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off
- his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof
- shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
-
- 001:016 And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast
- it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the
- ashes:
-
- 001:017 And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not
- divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the
- altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt
- sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto
- the LORD.
-
- 002:001 And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his
- offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon
- it, and put frankincense thereon:
-
- 002:002 And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he
- shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of
- the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the
- priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an
- offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:
-
- 002:003 And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his
- sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD
- made by fire.
-
- 002:004 And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the
- oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with
- oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
-
- 002:005 And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it
- shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
-
- 002:006 Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a
- meat offering.
-
- 002:007 And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan,
- it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
-
- 002:008 And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these
- things unto the LORD: and when it is presented unto the
- priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.
-
- 002:009 And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial
- thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering
- made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
-
- 002:010 And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron's
- and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the
- LORD made by fire.
-
- 002:011 No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be
- made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey,
- in any offering of the LORD made by fire.
-
- 002:012 As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them
- unto the LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a
- sweet savour.
-
- 002:013 And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with
- salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of
- thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine
- offerings thou shalt offer salt.
-
- 002:014 And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the
- LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy
- firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn
- beaten out of full ears.
-
- 002:015 And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon:
- it is a meat offering.
-
- 002:016 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the
- beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the
- frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the
- LORD.
-
- 003:001 And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he
- offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall
- offer it without blemish before the LORD.
-
- 003:002 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and
- kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and
- Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the
- altar round about.
-
- 003:003 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an
- offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the
- inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
-
- 003:004 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by
- the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it
- shall he take away.
-
- 003:005 And Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt
- sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is
- an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
-
- 003:006 And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto the
- LORD be of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it
- without blemish.
-
- 003:007 If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it
- before the LORD.
-
- 003:008 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and
- kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's
- sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the
- altar.
-
- 003:009 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an
- offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat thereof, and the
- whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the backbone; and the
- fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon
- the inwards,
-
- 003:010 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is
- by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys,
- it shall he take away.
-
- 003:011 And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: it is the food of
- the offering made by fire unto the LORD.
-
- 003:012 And if his offering be a goat, then he shall offer it before
- the LORD.
-
- 003:013 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it
- before the tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of
- Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round
- about.
-
- 003:014 And he shall offer thereof his offering, even an offering made
- by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and
- all the fat that is upon the inwards,
-
- 003:015 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is
- by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys,
- it shall he take away.
-
- 003:016 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the food
- of the offering made by fire for a sweet savour: all the fat
- is the LORD's.
-
- 003:017 It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations
- throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor
- blood.
-
- 004:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 004:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin
- through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD
- concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do
- against any of them:
-
- 004:003 If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of
- the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath
- sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a
- sin offering.
-
- 004:004 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle
- of the congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand
- upon the bullock's head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.
-
- 004:005 And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's
- blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
-
- 004:006 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle
- of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the vail of
- the sanctuary.
-
- 004:007 And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of
- the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the
- tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood
- of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt
- offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the
- congregation.
-
- 004:008 And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for
- the sin offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all
- the fat that is upon the inwards,
-
- 004:009 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is
- by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys,
- it shall he take away,
-
- 004:010 As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace
- offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of
- the burnt offering.
-
- 004:011 And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head,
- and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
-
- 004:012 Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp
- unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn
- him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out
- shall he be burnt.
-
- 004:013 And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance,
- and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they
- have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD
- concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;
-
- 004:014 When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known,
- then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin,
- and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.
-
- 004:015 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon
- the head of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall
- be killed before the LORD.
-
- 004:016 And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's
- blood to the tabernacle of the congregation:
-
- 004:017 And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and
- sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail.
-
- 004:018 And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar
- which is before the LORD, that is in the tabernacle of the
- congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom
- of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of
- the tabernacle of the congregation.
-
- 004:019 And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the
- altar.
-
- 004:020 And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock
- for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest
- shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven
- them.
-
- 004:021 And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and
- burn him as he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering
- for the congregation.
-
- 004:022 When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance
- against any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning
- things which should not be done, and is guilty;
-
- 004:023 Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge;
- he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male
- without blemish:
-
- 004:024 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill
- it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the
- LORD: it is a sin offering.
-
- 004:025 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering
- with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of
- burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of
- the altar of burnt offering.
-
- 004:026 And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of
- the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an
- atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be
- forgiven him.
-
- 004:027 And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance,
- while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the
- LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and be
- guilty;
-
- 004:028 Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge:
- then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female
- without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.
-
- 004:029 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering,
- and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
-
- 004:030 And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his
- finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt
- offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the
- bottom of the altar.
-
- 004:031 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is
- taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the
- priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour unto
- the LORD; and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and
- it shall be forgiven him.
-
- 004:032 And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a
- female without blemish.
-
- 004:033 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering,
- and slay it for a sin offering in the place where they kill
- the burnt offering.
-
- 004:034 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering
- with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of
- burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at
- the bottom of the altar:
-
- 004:035 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the
- lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings;
- and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to
- the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: and the priest shall
- make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it
- shall be forgiven him.
-
- 005:001 And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a
- witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not
- utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
-
- 005:002 Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase
- of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the
- carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from
- him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
-
- 005:003 Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness
- it be that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from
- him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.
-
- 005:004 Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or
- to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with
- an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then
- he shall be guilty in one of these.
-
- 005:005 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these
- things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that
- thing:
-
- 005:006 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his
- sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a
- kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall
- make an atonement for him concerning his sin.
-
- 005:007 And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for
- his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two
- young pigeons, unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the
- other for a burnt offering.
-
- 005:008 And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that
- which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head
- from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder:
-
- 005:009 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon
- the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be
- wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering.
-
- 005:010 And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according
- to the manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him
- for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven
- him.
-
- 005:011 But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young
- pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the
- tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he
- shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any
- frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.
-
- 005:012 Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall
- take his handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it
- on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the
- LORD: it is a sin offering.
-
- 005:013 And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his
- sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be
- forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest's, as a meat
- offering.
-
- 005:014 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 005:015 If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the
- holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass
- unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with
- thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the
- sanctuary, for a trespass offering.
-
- 005:016 And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the
- holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it
- unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for
- him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be
- forgiven him.
-
- 005:017 And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are
- forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though
- he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
-
- 005:018 And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock,
- with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:
- and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his
- ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not, and it shall be
- forgiven him.
-
- 005:019 It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed
- against the LORD.
-
- 006:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 006:002 If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie
- unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or
- in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath
- deceived his neighbour;
-
- 006:003 Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it,
- and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth,
- sinning therein:
-
- 006:004 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that
- he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the
- thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was
- delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
-
- 006:005 Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even
- restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more
- thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the
- day of his trespass offering.
-
- 006:006 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram
- without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a
- trespass offering, unto the priest:
-
- 006:007 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the
- LORD: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that
- he hath done in trespassing therein.
-
- 006:008 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 006:009 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the
- burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the
- burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the
- fire of the altar shall be burning in it.
-
- 006:010 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen
- breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes
- which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the
- altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
-
- 006:011 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments,
- and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.
-
- 006:012 And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall
- not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every
- morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he
- shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.
-
- 006:013 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never
- go out.
-
- 006:014 And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron
- shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar.
-
- 006:015 And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat
- offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense
- which is upon the meat offering, and shall burn it upon the
- altar for a sweet savour, even the memorial of it, unto the
- LORD.
-
- 006:016 And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with
- unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the
- court of the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it.
-
- 006:017 It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them
- for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most
- holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
-
- 006:018 All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It
- shall be a statute for ever in your generations concerning the
- offerings of the LORD made by fire: every one that toucheth
- them shall be holy.
-
- 006:019 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 006:020 This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they
- shall offer unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed; the
- tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat offering
- perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half thereof at
- night.
-
- 006:021 In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou
- shalt bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering
- shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
-
- 006:022 And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall
- offer it: it is a statute for ever unto the LORD; it shall be
- wholly burnt.
-
- 006:023 For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt:
- it shall not be eaten.
-
- 006:024 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 006:025 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of
- the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is
- killed shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD: it is
- most holy.
-
- 006:026 The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy
- place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the
- congregation.
-
- 006:027 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and
- when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment,
- thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in the holy
- place.
-
- 006:028 But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken:
- and if it be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured,
- and rinsed in water.
-
- 006:029 All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most
- holy.
-
- 006:030 And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into
- the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the
- holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
-
- 007:001 Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most
- holy.
-
- 007:002 In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they
- kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he
- sprinkle round about upon the altar.
-
- 007:003 And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and
- the fat that covereth the inwards,
-
- 007:004 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by
- the flanks, and the caul that is above the liver, with the
- kidneys, it shall he take away:
-
- 007:005 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering
- made by fire unto the LORD: it is a trespass offering.
-
- 007:006 Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be
- eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.
-
- 007:007 As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is
- one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith
- shall have it.
-
- 007:008 And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering, even
- the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt
- offering which he hath offered.
-
- 007:009 And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all
- that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the
- priest's that offereth it.
-
- 007:010 And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all
- the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.
-
- 007:011 And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which
- he shall offer unto the LORD.
-
- 007:012 If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with
- the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with
- oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes
- mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.
-
- 007:013 Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened
- bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace
- offerings.
-
- 007:014 And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an
- heave offering unto the LORD, and it shall be the priest's
- that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.
-
- 007:015 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for
- thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered;
- he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
-
- 007:016 But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary
- offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his
- sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be
- eaten:
-
- 007:017 But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third
- day shall be burnt with fire.
-
- 007:018 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace
- offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be
- accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth
- it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it
- shall bear his iniquity.
-
- 007:019 And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be
- eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all
- that be clean shall eat thereof.
-
- 007:020 But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of
- peace offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, having his
- uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his
- people.
-
- 007:021 Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the
- uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable
- unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace
- offerings, which pertain unto the LORD, even that soul shall
- be cut off from his people.
-
- 007:022 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 007:023 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no
- manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
-
- 007:024 And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of
- that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use:
- but ye shall in no wise eat of it.
-
- 007:025 For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer
- an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that
- eateth it shall be cut off from his people.
-
- 007:026 Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of
- fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
-
- 007:027 Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even
- that soul shall be cut off from his people.
-
- 007:028 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 007:029 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth
- the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring
- his oblation unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace
- offerings.
-
- 007:030 His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by
- fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the
- breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.
-
- 007:031 And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the
- breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.
-
- 007:032 And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for an
- heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
-
- 007:033 He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the
- peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder
- for his part.
-
- 007:034 For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the
- children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace
- offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto
- his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of
- Israel.
-
- 007:035 This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the
- anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made
- by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto
- the LORD in the priest's office;
-
- 007:036 Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of
- Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by a statute for
- ever throughout their generations.
-
- 007:037 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering,
- and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of
- the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace
- offerings;
-
- 007:038 Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that
- he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations
- unto the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
-
- 008:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 008:002 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the
- anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two
- rams, and a basket of unleavened bread;
-
- 008:003 And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of
- the tabernacle of the congregation.
-
- 008:004 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was
- gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the
- congregation.
-
- 008:005 And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which
- the LORD commanded to be done.
-
- 008:006 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with
- water.
-
- 008:007 And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle,
- and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and
- he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound
- it unto him therewith.
-
- 008:008 And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the
- breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.
-
- 008:009 And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even
- upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy
- crown; as the LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 008:010 And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle
- and all that was therein, and sanctified them.
-
- 008:011 And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and
- anointed the altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his
- foot, to sanctify them.
-
- 008:012 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and
- anointed him, to sanctify him.
-
- 008:013 And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them, and
- girded them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the
- LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 008:014 And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and
- his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the
- sin offering.
-
- 008:015 And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the
- horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified
- the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar,
- and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.
-
- 008:016 And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the
- caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and
- Moses burned it upon the altar.
-
- 008:017 But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he
- burnt with fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 008:018 And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and
- his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
-
- 008:019 And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar
- round about.
-
- 008:020 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and
- the pieces, and the fat.
-
- 008:021 And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses
- burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice
- for a sweet savour, and an offering made by fire unto the
- LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 008:022 And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and
- Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
-
- 008:023 And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it
- upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his
- right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
-
- 008:024 And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon
- the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right
- hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet: and Moses
- sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
-
- 008:025 And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was
- upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two
- kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder:
-
- 008:026 And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the
- LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread,
- and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and upon the right
- shoulder:
-
- 008:027 And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons' hands,
- and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD.
-
- 008:028 And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on
- the altar upon the burnt offering: they were consecrations for
- a sweet savour: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
-
- 008:029 And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering
- before the LORD: for of the ram of consecration it was Moses'
- part; as the LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 008:030 And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which
- was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon his
- garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with
- him; and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons, and
- his sons' garments with him.
-
- 008:031 And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at
- the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat
- it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I
- commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
-
- 008:032 And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall
- ye burn with fire.
-
- 008:033 And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the
- congregation in seven days, until the days of your
- consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate
- you.
-
- 008:034 As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to
- make an atonement for you.
-
- 008:035 Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the
- congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of
- the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.
-
- 008:036 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded
- by the hand of Moses.
-
- 009:001 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron
- and his sons, and the elders of Israel;
-
- 009:002 And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin
- offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and
- offer them before the LORD.
-
- 009:003 And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take
- ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a
- lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt
- offering;
-
- 009:004 Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice
- before the LORD; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to
- day the LORD will appear unto you.
-
- 009:005 And they brought that which Moses commanded before the
- tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew
- near and stood before the LORD.
-
- 009:006 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded
- that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto
- you.
-
- 009:007 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy
- sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement
- for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the
- people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.
-
- 009:008 Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the
- sin offering, which was for himself.
-
- 009:009 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he
- dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of
- the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the
- altar:
-
- 009:010 But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of
- the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the LORD
- commanded Moses.
-
- 009:011 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the
- camp.
-
- 009:012 And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented
- unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the
- altar.
-
- 009:013 And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the
- pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt them upon the
- altar.
-
- 009:014 And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon
- the burnt offering on the altar.
-
- 009:015 And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which
- was the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered
- it for sin, as the first.
-
- 009:016 And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to
- the manner.
-
- 009:017 And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof,
- and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the
- morning.
-
- 009:018 He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace
- offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons
- presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the
- altar round about,
-
- 009:019 And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that
- which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul
- above the liver:
-
- 009:020 And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat
- upon the altar:
-
- 009:021 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave
- offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
-
- 009:022 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed
- them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the
- burnt offering, and peace offerings.
-
- 009:023 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the
- congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the
- glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.
-
- 009:024 And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed
- upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all
- the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
-
- 010:001 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them
- his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and
- offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them
- not.
-
- 010:002 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and
- they died before the LORD.
-
- 010:003 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake,
- saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and
- before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his
- peace.
-
- 010:004 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the
- uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your
- brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
-
- 010:005 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the
- camp; as Moses had said.
-
- 010:006 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar,
- his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes;
- lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let
- your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning
- which the LORD hath kindled.
-
- 010:007 And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the
- congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD
- is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
-
- 010:008 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,
-
- 010:009 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with
- thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest
- ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your
- generations:
-
- 010:010 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and
- between unclean and clean;
-
- 010:011 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes
- which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
-
- 010:012 And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar,
- his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth
- of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without
- leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:
-
- 010:013 And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due,
- and thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire:
- for so I am commanded.
-
- 010:014 And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean
- place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for
- they be thy due, and thy sons' due, which are given out of the
- sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.
-
- 010:015 The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with
- the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave
- offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons'
- with thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath commanded.
-
- 010:016 And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and,
- behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and
- Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying,
-
- 010:017 Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy
- place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath given it you to
- bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for
- them before the LORD?
-
- 010:018 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy
- place: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I
- commanded.
-
- 010:019 And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered
- their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD;
- and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin
- offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of
- the LORD?
-
- 010:020 And when Moses heard that, he was content.
-
- 011:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
-
- 011:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the
- beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the
- earth.
-
- 011:003 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth
- the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
-
- 011:004 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud,
- or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he
- cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto
- you.
-
- 011:005 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not
- the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
-
- 011:006 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the
- hoof; he is unclean unto you.
-
- 011:007 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted,
- yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
-
- 011:008 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye
- not touch; they are unclean to you.
-
- 011:009 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever
- hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the
- rivers, them shall ye eat.
-
- 011:010 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the
- rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living
- thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination
- unto you:
-
- 011:011 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat
- of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in
- abomination.
-
- 011:012 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall
- be an abomination unto you.
-
- 011:013 And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among
- the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination:
- the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
-
- 011:014 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
-
- 011:015 Every raven after his kind;
-
- 011:016 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk
- after his kind,
-
- 011:017 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
-
- 011:018 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
-
- 011:019 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and
- the bat.
-
- 011:020 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an
- abomination unto you.
-
- 011:021 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth
- upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap
- withal upon the earth;
-
- 011:022 Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and
- the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind,
- and the grasshopper after his kind.
-
- 011:023 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet,
- shall be an abomination unto you.
-
- 011:024 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the
- carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
-
- 011:025 And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash
- his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
-
- 011:026 The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is
- not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you:
- every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
-
- 011:027 And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts
- that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso
- toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
-
- 011:028 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his
- clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto
- you.
-
- 011:029 These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things
- that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the
- tortoise after his kind,
-
- 011:030 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the
- snail, and the mole.
-
- 011:031 These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth
- touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the
- even.
-
- 011:032 And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth
- fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood,
- or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein
- any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be
- unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.
-
- 011:033 And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth,
- whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
-
- 011:034 Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water
- cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in
- every such vessel shall be unclean.
-
- 011:035 And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth
- shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they
- shall be broken down: for they are unclean and shall be
- unclean unto you.
-
- 011:036 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of
- water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase
- shall be unclean.
-
- 011:037 And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed
- which is to be sown, it shall be clean.
-
- 011:038 But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their
- carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
-
- 011:039 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth
- the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
-
- 011:040 And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his
- clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth
- the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until
- the even.
-
- 011:041 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be
- an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
-
- 011:042 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all
- four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things
- that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are
- an abomination.
-
- 011:043 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping
- thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean
- with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
-
- 011:044 For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify
- yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall
- ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that
- creepeth upon the earth.
-
- 011:045 For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of
- Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am
- holy.
-
- 011:046 This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every
- living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every
- creature that creepeth upon the earth:
-
- 011:047 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and
- between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not
- be eaten.
-
- 012:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 012:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have
- conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be
- unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation
- for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
-
- 012:003 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be
- circumcised.
-
- 012:004 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying
- three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor
- come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be
- fulfilled.
-
- 012:005 But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two
- weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the
- blood of her purifying threescore and six days.
-
- 012:006 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son,
- or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year
- for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for
- a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the
- congregation, unto the priest:
-
- 012:007 Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for
- her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood.
- This is the law for her that hath born a male or a female.
-
- 012:008 And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring
- two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt
- offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest
- shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
-
- 013:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
-
- 013:002 When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a
- scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like
- the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the
- priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:
-
- 013:003 And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the
- flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white, and
- the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it
- is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and
- pronounce him unclean.
-
- 013:004 If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in
- sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not
- turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the
- plague seven days:
-
- 013:005 And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold,
- if the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread
- not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days
- more:
-
- 013:006 And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and,
- behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread
- not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is
- but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
-
- 013:007 But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he
- hath been seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be
- seen of the priest again.
-
- 013:008 And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the
- skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a
- leprosy.
-
- 013:009 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be
- brought unto the priest;
-
- 013:010 And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be
- white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and
- there be quick raw flesh in the rising;
-
- 013:011 It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest
- shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he
- is unclean.
-
- 013:012 And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy
- cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head
- even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh;
-
- 013:013 Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy
- have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that
- hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.
-
- 013:014 But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
-
- 013:015 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to
- be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.
-
- 013:016 Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he
- shall come unto the priest;
-
- 013:017 And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague be
- turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean
- that hath the plague: he is clean.
-
- 013:018 The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a
- boil, and is healed,
-
- 013:019 And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a
- bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to
- the priest;
-
- 013:020 And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower
- than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the
- priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy
- broken out of the boil.
-
- 013:021 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white
- hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be
- somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
-
- 013:022 And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest
- shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
-
- 013:023 But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it
- is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
-
- 013:024 Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot
- burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a white bright
- spot, somewhat reddish, or white;
-
- 013:025 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair
- in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper
- than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the burning:
- wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the
- plague of leprosy.
-
- 013:026 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white
- hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other
- skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up
- seven days:
-
- 013:027 And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it
- be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall
- pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
-
- 013:028 And if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not in
- the skin, but it be somewhat dark; it is a rising of the
- burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is
- an inflammation of the burning.
-
- 013:029 If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;
-
- 013:030 Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it be in
- sight deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow thin
- hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry
- scall, even a leprosy upon the head or beard.
-
- 013:031 And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and,
- behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that
- there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up
- him that hath the plague of the scall seven days:
-
- 013:032 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague:
- and, behold, if the scall spread not, and there be in it no
- yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper than the
- skin;
-
- 013:033 He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the
- priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more:
-
- 013:034 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall:
- and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, nor be in
- sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce
- him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
-
- 013:035 But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
-
- 013:036 Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall
- be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow
- hair; he is unclean.
-
- 013:037 But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is
- black hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean:
- and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
-
- 013:038 If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh
- bright spots, even white bright spots;
-
- 013:039 Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots
- in the skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled
- spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.
-
- 013:040 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet
- is he clean.
-
- 013:041 And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head
- toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.
-
- 013:042 And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white
- reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or
- his bald forehead.
-
- 013:043 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising
- of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald
- forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;
-
- 013:044 He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce
- him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.
-
- 013:045 And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be
- rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his
- upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.
-
- 013:046 All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be
- defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp
- shall his habitation be.
-
- 013:047 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it
- be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
-
- 013:048 Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen;
- whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;
-
- 013:049 And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in
- the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing
- of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto
- the priest:
-
- 013:050 And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that
- hath the plague seven days:
-
- 013:051 And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the
- plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the
- woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin; the
- plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.
-
- 013:052 He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in
- woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague
- is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the
- fire.
-
- 013:053 And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not
- spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or
- in any thing of skin;
-
- 013:054 Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein
- the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
-
- 013:055 And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is
- washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed his
- colour, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean; thou
- shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be
- bare within or without.
-
- 013:056 And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat
- dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the
- garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the
- woof:
-
- 013:057 And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or
- in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading
- plague: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire.
-
- 013:058 And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of
- skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed
- from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall
- be clean.
-
- 013:059 This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of
- woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of
- skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
-
- 014:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 014:002 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his
- cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:
-
- 014:003 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest
- shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in
- the leper;
-
- 014:004 Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be
- cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and
- scarlet, and hyssop:
-
- 014:005 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed
- in an earthen vessel over running water:
-
- 014:006 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood,
- and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the
- living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the
- running water:
-
- 014:007 And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the
- leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall
- let the living bird loose into the open field.
-
- 014:008 And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and
- shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may
- be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and
- shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.
-
- 014:009 But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all
- his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all
- his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes,
- also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
-
- 014:010 And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without
- blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish,
- and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering,
- mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
-
- 014:011 And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man
- that is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD,
- at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
-
- 014:012 And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a
- trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a
- wave offering before the LORD:
-
- 014:013 And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill
- the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place:
- for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the trespass
- offering: it is most holy:
-
- 014:014 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass
- offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the
- right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of
- his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
-
- 014:015 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it
- into the palm of his own left hand:
-
- 014:016 And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is
- in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his
- finger seven times before the LORD:
-
- 014:017 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the
- priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be
- cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the
- great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass
- offering:
-
- 014:018 And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest's hand he
- shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and
- the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD.
-
- 014:019 And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an
- atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness;
- and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering:
-
- 014:020 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat
- offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an
- atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
-
- 014:021 And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take
- one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an
- atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled
- with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil;
-
- 014:022 And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able
- to get; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a
- burnt offering.
-
- 014:023 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing
- unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the
- congregation, before the LORD.
-
- 014:024 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering,
- and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave
- offering before the LORD:
-
- 014:025 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the
- priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering,
- and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be
- cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the
- great toe of his right foot:
-
- 014:026 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own
- left hand:
-
- 014:027 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of
- the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD:
-
- 014:028 And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon
- the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and
- upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of
- his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass
- offering:
-
- 014:029 And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall
- put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an
- atonement for him before the LORD.
-
- 014:030 And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young
- pigeons, such as he can get;
-
- 014:031 Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering,
- and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering:
- and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be
- cleansed before the LORD.
-
- 014:032 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose
- hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his
- cleansing.
-
- 014:033 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
-
- 014:034 When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you
- for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house
- of the land of your possession;
-
- 014:035 And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest,
- saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the
- house:
-
- 014:036 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house,
- before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that
- is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest
- shall go in to see the house:
-
- 014:037 And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be
- in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or
- reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;
-
- 014:038 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the
- house, and shut up the house seven days:
-
- 014:039 And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall
- look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the
- house;
-
- 014:040 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones
- in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an
- unclean place without the city:
-
- 014:041 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about,
- and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without
- the city into an unclean place:
-
- 014:042 And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of
- those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall
- plaister the house.
-
- 014:043 And if the plague come again, and break out in the house,
- after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath
- scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;
-
- 014:044 Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the
- plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the
- house; it is unclean.
-
- 014:045 And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the
- timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall
- carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.
-
- 014:046 Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is
- shut up shall be unclean until the even.
-
- 014:047 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he
- that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
-
- 014:048 And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and,
- behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the
- house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the
- house clean, because the plague is healed.
-
- 014:049 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar
- wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
-
- 014:050 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel
- over running water:
-
- 014:051 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the
- scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the
- slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house
- seven times:
-
- 014:052 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and
- with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the
- cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:
-
- 014:053 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the
- open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall
- be clean.
-
- 014:054 This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and
- scall,
-
- 014:055 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
-
- 014:056 And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
-
- 014:057 To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the
- law of leprosy.
-
- 015:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
-
- 015:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any
- man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his
- issue he is unclean.
-
- 015:003 And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his
- flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his
- issue, it is his uncleanness.
-
- 015:004 Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean:
- and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.
-
- 015:005 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and
- bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
-
- 015:006 And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the
- issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and
- be unclean until the even.
-
- 015:007 And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue
- shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be
- unclean until the even.
-
- 015:008 And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean;
- then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water,
- and be unclean until the even.
-
- 015:009 And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue
- shall be unclean.
-
- 015:010 And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be
- unclean until the even: and he that beareth any of those
- things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and
- be unclean until the even.
-
- 015:011 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not
- rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and
- bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
-
- 015:012 And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the
- issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be
- rinsed in water.
-
- 015:013 And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then
- he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and
- wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and
- shall be clean.
-
- 015:014 And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or
- two young pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door of
- the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them unto the
- priest:
-
- 015:015 And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering,
- and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make
- an atonement for him before the LORD for his issue.
-
- 015:016 And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he
- shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the
- even.
-
- 015:017 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of
- copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until
- the even.
-
- 015:018 The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of
- copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be
- unclean until the even.
-
- 015:019 And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be
- blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever
- toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.
-
- 015:020 And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be
- unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be
- unclean.
-
- 015:021 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and
- bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
-
- 015:022 And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash
- his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until
- the even.
-
- 015:023 And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth,
- when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.
-
- 015:024 And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon
- him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon
- he lieth shall be unclean.
-
- 015:025 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the
- time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her
- separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall
- be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.
-
- 015:026 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be
- unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she
- sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her
- separation.
-
- 015:027 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and
- shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be
- unclean until the even.
-
- 015:028 But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to
- herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
-
- 015:029 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or
- two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door
- of the tabernacle of the congregation.
-
- 015:030 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the
- other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an
- atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her
- uncleanness.
-
- 015:031 Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their
- uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they
- defile my tabernacle that is among them.
-
- 015:032 This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose
- seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;
-
- 015:033 And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath
- an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth
- with her that is unclean.
-
- 016:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons
- of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died;
-
- 016:002 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother,
- that he come not at all times into the holy place within the
- vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die
- not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.
-
- 016:003 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young
- bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
-
- 016:004 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the
- linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a
- linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired:
- these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in
- water, and so put them on.
-
- 016:005 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of
- Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram
- for a burnt offering.
-
- 016:006 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which
- is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his
- house.
-
- 016:007 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the
- LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
-
- 016:008 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the
- LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
-
- 016:009 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's lot fell,
- and offer him for a sin offering.
-
- 016:010 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall
- be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with
- him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
-
- 016:011 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which
- is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and
- for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering
- which is for himself:
-
- 016:012 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from
- off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet
- incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:
-
- 016:013 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD,
- that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is
- upon the testimony, that he die not:
-
- 016:014 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it
- with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the
- mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger
- seven times.
-
- 016:015 Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for
- the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with
- that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and
- sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:
-
- 016:016 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of
- the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of
- their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for
- the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them
- in the midst of their uncleanness.
-
- 016:017 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the
- congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy
- place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for
- himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation
- of Israel.
-
- 016:018 And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD,
- and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of
- the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the
- horns of the altar round about.
-
- 016:019 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger
- seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the
- uncleanness of the children of Israel.
-
- 016:020 And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place,
- and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he
- shall bring the live goat:
-
- 016:021 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live
- goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children
- of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins,
- putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him
- away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
-
- 016:022 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a
- land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the
- wilderness.
-
- 016:023 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation,
- and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he
- went into the holy place, and shall leave them there:
-
- 016:024 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and
- put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt
- offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an
- atonement for himself, and for the people.
-
- 016:025 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.
-
- 016:026 And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his
- clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into
- the camp.
-
- 016:027 And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin
- offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the
- holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they
- shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their
- dung.
-
- 016:028 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his
- flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
-
- 016:029 And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the
- seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict
- your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your
- own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:
-
- 016:030 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to
- cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before
- the LORD.
-
- 016:031 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict
- your souls, by a statute for ever.
-
- 016:032 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall
- consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's
- stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen
- clothes, even the holy garments:
-
- 016:033 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he
- shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the
- congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an
- atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the
- congregation.
-
- 016:034 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an
- atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a
- year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 017:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 017:002 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children
- of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the LORD
- hath commanded, saying,
-
- 017:003 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth
- an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out
- of the camp,
-
- 017:004 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the
- congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the
- tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man;
- he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among
- his people:
-
- 017:005 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their
- sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they
- may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle
- of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace
- offerings unto the LORD.
-
- 017:006 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the
- LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and
- burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
-
- 017:007 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils,
- after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute
- for ever unto them throughout their generations.
-
- 017:008 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the
- house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you,
- that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,
-
- 017:009 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the
- congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall
- be cut off from among his people.
-
- 017:010 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the
- strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of
- blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth
- blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
-
- 017:011 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it
- to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for
- it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
-
- 017:012 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you
- shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth
- among you eat blood.
-
- 017:013 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of
- the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and
- catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even
- pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
-
- 017:014 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the
- life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye
- shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all
- flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut
- off.
-
- 017:015 And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that
- which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own
- country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and
- bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then
- shall he be clean.
-
- 017:016 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall
- bear his iniquity.
-
- 018:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 018:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the
- LORD your God.
-
- 018:003 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall
- ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither
- I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their
- ordinances.
-
- 018:004 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk
- therein: I am the LORD your God.
-
- 018:005 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which
- if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
-
- 018:006 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him,
- to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
-
- 018:007 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother,
- shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not
- uncover her nakedness.
-
- 018:008 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it
- is thy father's nakedness.
-
- 018:009 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or
- daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born
- abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
-
- 018:010 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's
- daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for
- theirs is thine own nakedness.
-
- 018:011 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy
- father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her
- nakedness.
-
- 018:012 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister:
- she is thy father's near kinswoman.
-
- 018:013 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister:
- for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
-
- 018:014 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother,
- thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
-
- 018:015 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law:
- she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
-
- 018:016 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it
- is thy brother's nakedness.
-
- 018:017 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her
- daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her
- daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are
- her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
-
- 018:018 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to
- uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
-
- 018:019 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her
- nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
-
- 018:020 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's
- wife, to defile thyself with her.
-
- 018:021 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire
- to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I
- am the LORD.
-
- 018:022 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is
- abomination.
-
- 018:023 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself
- therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie
- down thereto: it is confusion.
-
- 018:024 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all
- these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
-
- 018:025 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity
- thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her
- inhabitants.
-
- 018:026 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and
- shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of
- your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
-
- 018:027 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done,
- which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
-
- 018:028 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it
- spued out the nations that were before you.
-
- 018:029 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the
- souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their
- people.
-
- 018:030 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any
- one of these abominable customs, which were committed before
- you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD
- your God.
-
- 019:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 019:002 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and
- say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am
- holy.
-
- 019:003 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep
- my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
-
- 019:004 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I
- am the LORD your God.
-
- 019:005 And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD,
- ye shall offer it at your own will.
-
- 019:006 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow:
- and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in
- the fire.
-
- 019:007 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable;
- it shall not be accepted.
-
- 019:008 Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity,
- because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and
- that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
-
- 019:009 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not
- wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou
- gather the gleanings of thy harvest.
-
- 019:010 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou
- gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for
- the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.
-
- 019:011 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to
- another.
-
- 019:012 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou
- profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
-
- 019:013 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the
- wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night
- until the morning.
-
- 019:014 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before
- the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.
-
- 019:015 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not
- respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the
- mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
-
- 019:016 Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy
- people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy
- neighbour; I am the LORD.
-
- 019:017 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in
- any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
-
- 019:018 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the
- children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as
- thyself: I am the LORD.
-
- 019:019 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle
- gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with
- mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and
- woollen come upon thee.
-
- 019:020 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid,
- betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom
- given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to
- death, because she was not free.
-
- 019:021 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto
- the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for
- a trespass offering.
-
- 019:022 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of
- the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he
- hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven
- him.
-
- 019:023 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted
- all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit
- thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as
- uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.
-
- 019:024 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to
- praise the LORD withal.
-
- 019:025 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that
- it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your
- God.
-
- 019:026 Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye
- use enchantment, nor observe times.
-
- 019:027 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt
- thou mar the corners of thy beard.
-
- 019:028 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor
- print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
-
- 019:029 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore;
- lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of
- wickedness.
-
- 019:030 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am
- the LORD.
-
- 019:031 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after
- wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
-
- 019:032 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face
- of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD.
-
- 019:033 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not
- vex him.
-
- 019:034 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as
- one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye
- were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
-
- 019:035 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in
- weight, or in measure.
-
- 019:036 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin,
- shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out
- of the land of Egypt.
-
- 019:037 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my
- judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.
-
- 020:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 020:002 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he
- be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn
- in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall
- surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him
- with stones.
-
- 020:003 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off
- from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto
- Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
-
- 020:004 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from
- the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him
- not:
-
- 020:005 Then I will set my face against that man, and against his
- family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after
- him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
-
- 020:006 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits,
- and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set
- my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his
- people.
-
- 020:007 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the
- LORD your God.
-
- 020:008 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD
- which sanctify you.
-
- 020:009 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be
- surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother;
- his blood shall be upon him.
-
- 020:010 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife,
- even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife,
- the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
-
- 020:011 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered
- his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to
- death; their blood shall be upon them.
-
- 020:012 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall
- surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their
- blood shall be upon them.
-
- 020:013 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both
- of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be
- put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
-
- 020:014 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness:
- they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be
- no wickedness among you.
-
- 020:015 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to
- death: and ye shall slay the beast.
-
- 020:016 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto,
- thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be
- put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
-
- 020:017 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or
- his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his
- nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in
- the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's
- nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
-
- 020:018 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and
- shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain,
- and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of
- them shall be cut off from among their people.
-
- 020:019 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's
- sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near
- kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
-
- 020:020 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath
- uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin;
- they shall die childless.
-
- 020:021 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean
- thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall
- be childless.
-
- 020:022 Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments,
- and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell
- therein, spue you not out.
-
- 020:023 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I
- cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and
- therefore I abhorred them.
-
- 020:024 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I
- will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with
- milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated
- you from other people.
-
- 020:025 Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and
- unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not
- make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any
- manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I
- have separated from you as unclean.
-
- 020:026 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have
- severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.
-
- 020:027 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a
- wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them
- with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
-
- 021:001 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons
- of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for
- the dead among his people:
-
- 021:002 But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his
- mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his
- daughter, and for his brother.
-
- 021:003 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath
- had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
-
- 021:004 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his
- people, to profane himself.
-
- 021:005 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall
- they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any
- cuttings in their flesh.
-
- 021:006 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of
- their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the
- bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be
- holy.
-
- 021:007 They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane;
- neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for
- he is holy unto his God.
-
- 021:008 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread
- of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which
- sanctify you, am holy.
-
- 021:009 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by
- playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be
- burnt with fire.
-
- 021:010 And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose
- head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to
- put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his
- clothes;
-
- 021:011 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself
- for his father, or for his mother;
-
- 021:012 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the
- sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of
- his God is upon him: I am the LORD.
-
- 021:013 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
-
- 021:014 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these
- shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own
- people to wife.
-
- 021:015 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the
- LORD do sanctify him.
-
- 021:016 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 021:017 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their
- generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to
- offer the bread of his God.
-
- 021:018 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not
- approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose,
- or any thing superfluous,
-
- 021:019 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
-
- 021:020 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye,
- or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
-
- 021:021 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest
- shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by
- fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the
- bread of his God.
-
- 021:022 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and
- of the holy.
-
- 021:023 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the
- altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my
- sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
-
- 021:024 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all
- the children of Israel.
-
- 022:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 022:002 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate
- themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and
- that they profane not my holy name in those things which they
- hallow unto me: I am the LORD.
-
- 022:003 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your
- generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the
- children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his
- uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my
- presence: I am the LORD.
-
- 022:004 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a
- running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he
- be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the
- dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
-
- 022:005 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be
- made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness,
- whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
-
- 022:006 The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until
- even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his
- flesh with water.
-
- 022:007 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall
- afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.
-
- 022:008 That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall
- not eat to defile himself therewith; I am the LORD.
-
- 022:009 They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin
- for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do
- sanctify them.
-
- 022:010 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of
- the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy
- thing.
-
- 022:011 But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of
- it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his
- meat.
-
- 022:012 If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she
- may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
-
- 022:013 But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have
- no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her
- youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but there shall be
- no stranger eat thereof.
-
- 022:014 And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall
- put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the
- priest with the holy thing.
-
- 022:015 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of
- Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;
-
- 022:016 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat
- their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
-
- 022:017 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 022:018 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children
- of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of
- Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his
- oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings,
- which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering;
-
- 022:019 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the
- beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
-
- 022:020 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it
- shall not be acceptable for you.
-
- 022:021 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the
- LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves
- or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be
- no blemish therein.
-
- 022:022 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or
- scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an
- offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.
-
- 022:023 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or
- lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill
- offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
-
- 022:024 Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or
- crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering
- thereof in your land.
-
- 022:025 Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of
- your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them,
- and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
-
- 022:026 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 022:027 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then
- it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day
- and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by
- fire unto the LORD.
-
- 022:028 And whether it be cow, or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her
- young both in one day.
-
- 022:029 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the
- LORD, offer it at your own will.
-
- 022:030 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of
- it until the morrow: I am the LORD.
-
- 022:031 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the
- LORD.
-
- 022:032 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed
- among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,
-
- 022:033 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I
- am the LORD.
-
- 023:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 023:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
- Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to
- be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
-
- 023:003 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the
- sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work
- therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
-
- 023:004 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations,
- which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
-
- 023:005 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's
- passover.
-
- 023:006 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of
- unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat
- unleavened bread.
-
- 023:007 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall
- do no servile work therein.
-
- 023:008 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD
- seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye
- shall do no servile work therein.
-
- 023:009 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 023:010 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye
- be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap
- the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the
- firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
-
- 023:011 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted
- for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave
- it.
-
- 023:012 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb
- without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto
- the LORD.
-
- 023:013 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine
- flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD
- for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of
- wine, the fourth part of an hin.
-
- 023:014 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green
- ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering
- unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your
- generations in all your dwellings.
-
- 023:015 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath,
- from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering;
- seven sabbaths shall be complete:
-
- 023:016 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number
- fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the
- LORD.
-
- 023:017 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two
- tenth deals; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken
- with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
-
- 023:018 And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish
- of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they
- shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat
- offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by
- fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.
-
- 023:019 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin
- offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of
- peace offerings.
-
- 023:020 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the
- firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two
- lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
-
- 023:021 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an
- holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work
- therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings
- throughout your generations.
-
- 023:022 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make
- clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest,
- neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou
- shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the
- LORD your God.
-
- 023:023 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 023:024 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh
- month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath,
- a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
-
- 023:025 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an
- offering made by fire unto the LORD.
-
- 023:026 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 023:027 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a
- day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you;
- and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by
- fire unto the LORD.
-
- 023:028 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of
- atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your
- God.
-
- 023:029 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that
- same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
-
- 023:030 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same
- day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
-
- 023:031 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever
- throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
-
- 023:032 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict
- your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even
- unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
-
- 023:033 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 023:034 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day
- of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for
- seven days unto the LORD.
-
- 023:035 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no
- servile work therein.
-
- 023:036 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the
- LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you;
- and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it
- is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.
-
- 023:037 These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to
- be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto
- the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice,
- and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
-
- 023:038 Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and
- beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings,
- which ye give unto the LORD.
-
- 023:039 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have
- gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto
- the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and
- on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
-
- 023:040 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly
- trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees,
- and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD
- your God seven days.
-
- 023:041 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the
- year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye
- shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
-
- 023:042 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites
- born shall dwell in booths:
-
- 023:043 That your generations may know that I made the children of
- Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land
- of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
-
- 023:044 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of
- the LORD.
-
- 024:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 024:002 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure
- oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn
- continually.
-
- 024:003 Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the
- congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the
- morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for
- ever in your generations.
-
- 024:004 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the
- LORD continually.
-
- 024:005 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof:
- two tenth deals shall be in one cake.
-
- 024:006 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the
- pure table before the LORD.
-
- 024:007 And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it
- may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by
- fire unto the LORD.
-
- 024:008 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD
- continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an
- everlasting covenant.
-
- 024:009 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it
- in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the
- offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.
-
- 024:010 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an
- Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son
- of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together
- in the camp;
-
- 024:011 And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the
- Lord, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his
- mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the
- tribe of Dan:)
-
- 024:012 And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be
- shewed them.
-
- 024:013 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 024:014 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all
- that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the
- congregation stone him.
-
- 024:015 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
- Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
-
- 024:016 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely
- be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly
- stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the
- land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put
- to death.
-
- 024:017 And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.
-
- 024:018 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for
- beast.
-
- 024:019 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath
- done, so shall it be done to him;
-
- 024:020 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath
- caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.
-
- 024:021 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that
- killeth a man, he shall be put to death.
-
- 024:022 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as
- for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.
-
- 024:023 And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should
- bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him
- with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD
- commanded Moses.
-
- 025:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
-
- 025:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye
- come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep
- a sabbath unto the LORD.
-
- 025:003 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt
- prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
-
- 025:004 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the
- land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy
- field, nor prune thy vineyard.
-
- 025:005 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt
- not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for
- it is a year of rest unto the land.
-
- 025:006 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee,
- and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired
- servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee.
-
- 025:007 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land,
- shall all the increase thereof be meat.
-
- 025:008 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven
- times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of
- years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
-
- 025:009 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on
- the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement
- shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
-
- 025:010 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty
- throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it
- shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto
- his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
-
- 025:011 A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not
- sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor
- gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.
-
- 025:012 For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat
- the increase thereof out of the field.
-
- 025:013 In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his
- possession.
-
- 025:014 And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of
- thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
-
- 025:015 According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt
- buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years
- of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:
-
- 025:016 According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the
- price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou
- shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of
- the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.
-
- 025:017 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt
- fear thy God:for I am the LORD your God.
-
- 025:018 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and
- do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
-
- 025:019 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your
- fill, and dwell therein in safety.
-
- 025:020 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year?
- behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
-
- 025:021 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year,
- and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
-
- 025:022 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit
- until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of
- the old store.
-
- 025:023 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for
- ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
-
- 025:024 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a
- redemption for the land.
-
- 025:025 If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his
- possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then
- shall he redeem that which his brother sold.
-
- 025:026 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to
- redeem it;
-
- 025:027 Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore
- the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may
- return unto his possession.
-
- 025:028 But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is
- sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until
- the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he
- shall return unto his possession.
-
- 025:029 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he
- may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a
- full year may he redeem it.
-
- 025:030 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year,
- then the house that is in the walled city shall be established
- for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it
- shall not go out in the jubile.
-
- 025:031 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about
- them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may
- be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.
-
- 025:032 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of
- the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any
- time.
-
- 025:033 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was
- sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year
- of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are
- their possession among the children of Israel.
-
- 025:034 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold;
- for it is their perpetual possession.
-
- 025:035 And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with
- thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a
- stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
-
- 025:036 Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that
- thy brother may live with thee.
-
- 025:037 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy
- victuals for increase.
-
- 025:038 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the
- land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your
- God.
-
- 025:039 And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be
- sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a
- bondservant:
-
- 025:040 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with
- thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile.
-
- 025:041 And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children
- with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the
- possession of his fathers shall he return.
-
- 025:042 For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the
- land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.
-
- 025:043 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy
- God.
-
- 025:044 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have,
- shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them
- shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
-
- 025:045 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn
- among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that
- are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be
- your possession.
-
- 025:046 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children
- after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be
- your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of
- Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.
-
- 025:047 And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy
- brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto
- the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the
- stranger's family:
-
- 025:048 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his
- brethren may redeem him:
-
- 025:049 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any
- that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or
- if he be able, he may redeem himself.
-
- 025:050 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year
- that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price
- of his sale shall be according unto the number of years,
- according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with
- him.
-
- 025:051 If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he
- shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money
- that he was bought for.
-
- 025:052 And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile,
- then he shall count with him, and according unto his years
- shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
-
- 025:053 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the
- other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.
-
- 025:054 And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out
- in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.
-
- 025:055 For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my
- servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am
- the LORD your God.
-
- 026:001 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you
- up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of
- stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD
- your God.
-
- 026:002 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am
- the LORD.
-
- 026:003 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do
- them;
-
- 026:004 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall
- yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield
- their fruit.
-
- 026:005 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the
- vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat
- your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
-
- 026:006 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and
- none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of
- the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
-
- 026:007 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before
- you by the sword.
-
- 026:008 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you
- shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall
- before you by the sword.
-
- 026:009 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and
- multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
-
- 026:010 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of
- the new.
-
- 026:011 And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor
- you.
-
- 026:012 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall
- be my people.
-
- 026:013 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the
- land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have
- broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
-
- 026:014 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these
- commandments;
-
- 026:015 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my
- judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but
- that ye break my covenant:
-
- 026:016 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you
- terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume
- the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your
- seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
-
- 026:017 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain
- before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you;
- and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
-
- 026:018 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I
- will punish you seven times more for your sins.
-
- 026:019 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your
- heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
-
- 026:020 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall
- not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land
- yield their fruits.
-
- 026:021 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me;
- I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to
- your sins.
-
- 026:022 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of
- your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in
- number; and your high ways shall be desolate.
-
- 026:023 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will
- walk contrary unto me;
-
- 026:024 Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you
- yet seven times for your sins.
-
- 026:025 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the
- quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together
- within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and
- ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
-
- 026:026 And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women
- shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you
- your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be
- satisfied.
-
- 026:027 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk
- contrary unto me;
-
- 026:028 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even
- I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
-
- 026:029 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your
- daughters shall ye eat.
-
- 026:030 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images,
- and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my
- soul shall abhor you.
-
- 026:031 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries
- unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet
- odours.
-
- 026:032 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies
- which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
-
- 026:033 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a
- sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your
- cities waste.
-
- 026:034 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth
- desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the
- land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
-
- 026:035 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not
- rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
-
- 026:036 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a
- faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and
- the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall
- flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none
- pursueth.
-
- 026:037 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a
- sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand
- before your enemies.
-
- 026:038 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your
- enemies shall eat you up.
-
- 026:039 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their
- iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of
- their fathers shall they pine away with them.
-
- 026:040 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of
- their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed
- against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;
-
- 026:041 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have
- brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their
- uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the
- punishment of their iniquity:
-
- 026:042 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my
- covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I
- remember; and I will remember the land.
-
- 026:043 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her
- sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they
- shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because,
- even because they despised my judgments, and because their
- soul abhorred my statutes.
-
- 026:044 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their
- enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them,
- to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them:
- for I am the LORD their God.
-
- 026:045 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their
- ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in
- the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the
- LORD.
-
- 026:046 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD
- made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by
- the hand of Moses.
-
- 027:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 027:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a
- man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the
- LORD by thy estimation.
-
- 027:003 And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old
- even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty
- shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
-
- 027:004 And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty
- shekels.
-
- 027:005 And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old,
- then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and
- for the female ten shekels.
-
- 027:006 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then
- thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver,
- and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of
- silver.
-
- 027:007 And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male,
- then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the
- female ten shekels.
-
- 027:008 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present
- himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him;
- according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value
- him.
-
- 027:009 And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the
- LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be
- holy.
-
- 027:010 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a
- bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast,
- then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.
-
- 027:011 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a
- sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast
- before the priest:
-
- 027:012 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as
- thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.
-
- 027:013 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth
- part thereof unto thy estimation.
-
- 027:014 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the
- LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or
- bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
-
- 027:015 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he
- shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto
- it, and it shall be his.
-
- 027:016 And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field
- of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to
- the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at
- fifty shekels of silver.
-
- 027:017 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to
- thy estimation it shall stand.
-
- 027:018 But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest
- shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that
- remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be
- abated from thy estimation.
-
- 027:019 And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem
- it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy
- estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.
-
- 027:020 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the
- field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.
-
- 027:021 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy
- unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof
- shall be the priest's.
-
- 027:022 And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath
- bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;
-
- 027:023 Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy
- estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall
- give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the
- LORD.
-
- 027:024 In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of
- whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the
- land did belong.
-
- 027:025 And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of
- the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
-
- 027:026 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD's
- firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or
- sheep: it is the LORD's.
-
- 027:027 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it
- according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of
- it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold
- according to thy estimation.
-
- 027:028 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto
- the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of
- the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every
- devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.
-
- 027:029 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be
- redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
-
- 027:030 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the
- land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's: it is holy
- unto the LORD.
-
- 027:031 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall
- add thereto the fifth part thereof.
-
- 027:032 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of
- whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto
- the LORD.
-
- 027:033 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall
- he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the
- change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
-
- 027:034 These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for
- the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
-
- Book 04 Numbers
-
- 001:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in
- the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the
- second month, in the second year after they were come out of
- the land of Egypt, saying,
-
- 001:002 Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of
- Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
- with the number of their names, every male by their polls;
-
- 001:003 From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go
- forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by
- their armies.
-
- 001:004 And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one
- head of the house of his fathers.
-
- 001:005 And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you:
- of the tribe of Reuben; Elizur the son of Shedeur.
-
- 001:006 Of Simeon; Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
-
- 001:007 Of Judah; Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

- 001:016 These were the renowned of the congregation, princes of the
- tribes of their fathers, heads of thousands in Israel.
-
- 001:017 And Moses and Aaron took these men which are expressed by
- their names:
-
- 001:018 And they assembled all the congregation together on the first
- day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees
- after their families, by the house of their fathers, according
- to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward,
- by their polls.
-
- 001:019 As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the
- wilderness of Sinai.
-
- 001:020 And the children of Reuben, Israel's eldest son, by their
- generations, after their families, by the house of their
- fathers, according to the number of the names, by their polls,

- Zebulun, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred.
-
- 001:032 Of the children of Joseph, namely, of the children of Ephraim,
- by their generations, after their families, by the house of
- their fathers, according to the number of the names, from
- twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to
- war;
-
- 001:033 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of

-

- number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all

- to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward,
- all that were able to go forth to war;
-
- 001:043 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of
- Naphtali, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.
-
- 001:044 These are those that were numbered, which Moses and Aaron
- numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men: each
- one was for the house of his fathers.
-
- 001:045 So were all those that were numbered of the children of
- Israel, by the house of their fathers, from twenty years old
- and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel;
-
- 001:046 Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and
- three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
-
- 001:047 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not
- numbered among them.
-
- 001:048 For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,
-
- 001:049 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the
- sum of them among the children of Israel:
-
- 001:050 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of
- testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all
- things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and
- all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and
- shall encamp round about the tabernacle.
-
- 001:051 And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall
- take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the
- Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh
- shall be put to death.
-
- 001:052 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man
- by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout
- their hosts.
-
- 001:053 But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of
- testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the
- children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of
- the tabernacle of testimony.
-
- 001:054 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD
- commanded Moses, so did they.
-
- 002:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
-
- 002:002 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own
- standard, with the ensign of their father's house: far off
- about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.
-
- 002:003 And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they
- of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their
- armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of
- the children of Judah.
-
- 002:004 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were
- threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred.
-
- 002:005 And those that do pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of
- Issachar: and Nethaneel the son of Zuar shall be captain of
- the children of Issachar.
-
- 002:006 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty
- and four thousand and four hundred.
-
- 002:007 Then the tribe of Zebulun: and Eliab the son of Helon shall be
- captain of the children of Zebulun.
-
- 002:008 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty
- and seven thousand and four hundred.
-
- 002:009 All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were an hundred
- thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four
- hundred, throughout their armies. These shall first set forth.
-
- 002:010 On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben
- according to their armies: and the captain of the children of
- Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur.
-
- 002:011 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were forty
- and six thousand and five hundred.
-
- 002:012 And those which pitch by him shall be the tribe of Simeon: and
- the captain of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the
- son of Zurishaddai.
-
- 002:013 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty
- and nine thousand and three hundred.
-
- 002:014 Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of Gad
- shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel.
-
- 002:015 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty
- and five thousand and six hundred and fifty.
-
- 002:016 All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben were an hundred
- thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and
- fifty, throughout their armies. And they shall set forth in
- the second rank.
-
- 002:017 Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with
- the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they
- encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place by
- their standards.
-
- 002:018 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim
- according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of
- Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.
-
- 002:019 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty
- thousand and five hundred.
-
- 002:020 And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the captain of
- the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of
- Pedahzur.
-
- 002:021 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were
- thirty and two thousand and two hundred.

-
- 002:031 All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred
- thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They
- shall go hindmost with their standards.
-
- 002:032 These are those which were numbered of the children of Israel
- by the house of their fathers: all those that were numbered of
- the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred thousand and
- three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
-
- 002:033 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of
- Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 002:034 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD
- commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so
- they set forward, every one after their families, according to
- the house of their fathers.
-
- 003:001 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day
- that the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
-
- 003:002 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the
- firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
-
- 003:003 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which
- were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's
- office.
-
- 003:004 And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered
- strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and
- they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in
- the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.
-
- 003:005 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 003:006 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron
- the priest, that they may minister unto him.
-
- 003:007 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole
- congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do
- the service of the tabernacle.
-
- 003:008 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of
- the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to
- do the service of the tabernacle.
-
- 003:009 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons:
- they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
-
- 003:010 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait
- on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh
- shall be put to death.
-
- 003:011 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 003:012 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the
- children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth
- the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites
- shall be mine;
-
- 003:013 Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I
- smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto
- me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall
- they be: I am the LORD.
-
- 003:014 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai,
- saying,
-
- 003:015 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers,
- by their families: every male from a month old and upward
- shalt thou number them.
-
- 003:016 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as
- he was commanded.
-
- 003:017 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and
- Kohath, and Merari.
-
- 003:018 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their
- families; Libni, and Shimei.
-
- 003:019 And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar,
- Hebron, and Uzziel.
-
- 003:020 And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi.
- These are the families of the Levites according to the house
- of their fathers.
-
- 003:021 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of
- the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.
-
- 003:022 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of
- all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that
- were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.
-
- 003:023 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the
- tabernacle westward.
-
- 003:024 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites
- shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.
-
- 003:025 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the
- congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the
- covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the
- tabernacle of the congregation,
-
- 003:026 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of
- the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round
- about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.
-
- 003:027 And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family
- of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the
- family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the
- Kohathites.
-
- 003:028 In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward,
- were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the
- sanctuary.
-
- 003:029 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of
- the tabernacle southward.
-
- 003:030 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of
- the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
-
- 003:031 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the
- candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary
- wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service
- thereof.
-
- 003:032 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over
- the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that
- keep the charge of the sanctuary.
-
- 003:033 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of
- the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.
-
- 003:034 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number
- of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six
- thousand and two hundred.
-
- 003:035 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of
- Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the
- side of the tabernacle northward.
-
- 003:036 And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall
- be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the
- pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels
- thereof, and all that serveth thereto,
-
- 003:037 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets,
- and their pins, and their cords.
-
- 003:038 But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east,
- even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall
- be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the
- sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the
- stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
-
- 003:039 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron
- numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their
- families, all the males from a month old and upward, were
- twenty and two thousand.
-
- 003:040 And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the
- males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward,
- and take the number of their names.
-
- 003:041 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the LORD) instead
- of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the
- cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the
- cattle of the children of Israel.
-
- 003:042 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the
- firstborn among the children of Israel.
-
- 003:043 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a
- month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them,
- were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and
- thirteen.
-
- 003:044 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 003:045 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the
- children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of
- their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the LORD.
-
- 003:046 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and
- threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of
- Israel, which are more than the Levites;
-
- 003:047 Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after
- the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel
- is twenty gerahs:)
-
- 003:048 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of
- them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
-
- 003:049 And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and
- above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
-
- 003:050 Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money;
- a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels,
- after the shekel of the sanctuary:
-
- 003:051 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron
- and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the
- LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 004:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
-
- 004:002 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of
- Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
-
- 004:003 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old,
- all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle
- of the congregation.
-
- 004:004 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the
- tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:
-
- 004:005 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his
- sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover
- the ark of testimony with it:
-
- 004:006 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and
- shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in
- the staves thereof.
-
- 004:007 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of
- blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the
- bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread
- shall be thereon:
-
- 004:008 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover
- the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in
- the staves thereof.
-
- 004:009 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick
- of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his
- snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they
- minister unto it:
-
- 004:010 And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a
- covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.
-
- 004:011 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue,
- and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put
- to the staves thereof:
-
- 004:012 And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith
- they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of
- blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and
- shall put them on a bar:
-
- 004:013 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread
- a purple cloth thereon:
-
- 004:014 And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith
- they minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and
- the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and
- they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and
- put to the staves of it.
-
- 004:015 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the
- sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp
- is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come
- to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they
- die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the
- tabernacle of the congregation.
-
- 004:016 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest
- pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and
- the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, and the
- oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is,
- in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.
-
- 004:017 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying,
-
- 004:018 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites
- from among the Levites:
-
- 004:019 But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when
- they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons
- shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to
- his burden:
-
- 004:020 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are
- covered, lest they die.
-
- 004:021 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 004:022 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the
- houses of their fathers, by their families;
-
- 004:023 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt
- thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to
- do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
-
- 004:024 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to
- serve, and for burdens:
-
- 004:025 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the
- tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering
- of the badgers' skins that is above upon it, and the hanging
- for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
-
- 004:026 And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of
- the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the
- altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of
- their service, and all that is made for them: so shall they
- serve.
-
- 004:027 At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the
- service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens,
- and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in
- charge all their burdens.
-
- 004:028 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in
- the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall be
- under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
-
- 004:029 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their
- families, by the house of their fathers;
-
- 004:030 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old
- shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the
- service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation.
-
- 004:031 And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their
- service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of
- the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof,
- and sockets thereof,
-
- 004:032 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets,
- and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments,
- and with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the
- instruments of the charge of their burden.
-
- 004:033 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari,
- according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the
- congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the
- priest.
-
- 004:034 And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered
- the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the
- house of their fathers,
-
- 004:035 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
- every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the
- tabernacle of the congregation:
-
- 004:036 And those that were numbered of them by their families were
- two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
-
- 004:037 These were they that were numbered of the families of the
- Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the
- congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to
- the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
-
- 004:038 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon,
- throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers,
-
- 004:039 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
- every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the
- tabernacle of the congregation,
-
- 004:040 Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their
- families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and
- six hundred and thirty.
-
- 004:041 These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons
- of Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of
- the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number according to
- the commandment of the LORD.
-
- 004:042 And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of
- Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their
- fathers,
-
- 004:043 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
- every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the
- tabernacle of the congregation,
-
- 004:044 Even those that were numbered of them after their families,
- were three thousand and two hundred.
-
- 004:045 These be those that were numbered of the families of the sons
- of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word
- of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
-
- 004:046 All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and
- Aaron and the chief of Israel numbered, after their families,
- and after the house of their fathers,
-
- 004:047 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
- every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the
- service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation.
-
- 004:048 Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and
- five hundred and fourscore,
-
- 004:049 According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered by
- the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and
- according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as
- the LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 005:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 005:002 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp
- every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever
- is defiled by the dead:
-
- 005:003 Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall
- ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst
- whereof I dwell.
-
- 005:004 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without
- the camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of
- Israel.
-
- 005:005 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 005:006 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall
- commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the
- LORD, and that person be guilty;
-
- 005:007 Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he
- shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and
- add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him
- against whom he hath trespassed.
-
- 005:008 But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass
- unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, even to
- the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an
- atonement shall be made for him.
-
- 005:009 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of
- Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
-
- 005:010 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any
- man giveth the priest, it shall be his.
-
- 005:011 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 005:012 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any
- man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
-
- 005:013 And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes
- of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and
- there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the
- manner;
-
- 005:014 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of
- his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy
- come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not
- defiled:
-
- 005:015 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he
- shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah
- of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put
- frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an
- offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
-
- 005:016 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the
- LORD:
-
- 005:017 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and
- of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest
- shall take, and put it into the water:
-
- 005:018 And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and
- uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in
- her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest
- shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the
- curse:
-
- 005:019 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the
- woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not
- gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband,
- be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
-
- 005:020 But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband,
- and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee
- beside thine husband:
-
- 005:021 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of
- cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD
- make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD
- doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
-
- 005:022 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy
- bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And
- the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
-
- 005:023 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he
- shall blot them out with the bitter water:
-
- 005:024 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that
- causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall
- enter into her, and become bitter.
-
- 005:025 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the
- woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and
- offer it upon the altar:
-
- 005:026 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the
- memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward
- shall cause the woman to drink the water.
-
- 005:027 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall
- come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass
- against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse
- shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall
- swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse
- among her people.
-
- 005:028 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall
- be free, and shall conceive seed.
-
- 005:029 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to
- another instead of her husband, and is defiled;
-
- 005:030 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be
- jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the
- LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.
-
- 005:031 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman
- shall bear her iniquity.
-
- 006:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 006:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When
- either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of
- a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD:
-
- 006:003 He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and
- shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink,
- neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist
- grapes, or dried.
-
- 006:004 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is
- made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
-
- 006:005 All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor
- come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which
- he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and
- shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
-
- 006:006 All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall
- come at no dead body.
-
- 006:007 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his
- mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die:
- because the consecration of his God is upon his head.
-
- 006:008 All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.
-
- 006:009 And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled
- the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in
- the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave
- it.
-
- 006:010 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young
- pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the
- congregation:
-
- 006:011 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the
- other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for
- that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that
- same day.
-
- 006:012 And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his
- separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a
- trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be
- lost, because his separation was defiled.
-
- 006:013 And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his
- separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of
- the tabernacle of the congregation:
-
- 006:014 And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of
- the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one
- ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering,
- and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,
-
- 006:015 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled
- with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil,
- and their meat offering, and their drink offerings.
-
- 006:016 And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall
- offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:
-
- 006:017 And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings
- unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest
- shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering.
-
- 006:018 And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the
- door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the
- hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire
- which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
-
- 006:019 And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and
- one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened
- wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite,
- after the hair of his separation is shaven:
-
- 006:020 And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the
- LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and
- heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.
-
- 006:021 This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his
- offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside that that
- his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he
- must do after the law of his separation.
-
- 006:022 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 006:023 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye
- shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
-
- 006:024 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
-
- 006:025 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto
- thee:
-
- 006:026 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee
- peace.
-
- 006:027 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I
- will bless them.
-
- 007:001 And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the
- tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all
- the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels
- thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;
-
- 007:002 That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their
- fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over
- them that were numbered, offered:
-
- 007:003 And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered
- wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and
- for each one an ox: and they brought them before the
- tabernacle.
-
- 007:004 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 007:005 Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the
- tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto
- the Levites, to every man according to his service.
-
- 007:006 And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the
- Levites.
-
- 007:007 Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon,
- according to their service:
-
- 007:008 And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of
- Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of
- Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
-
- 007:009 But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service
- of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear
- upon their shoulders.
-
- 007:010 And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day
- that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering
- before the altar.
-
- 007:011 And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering,
- each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.
-
- 007:012 And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the

-
- 007:089 And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the
- congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one
- speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the
- ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake
- unto him.
-
- 008:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 008:002 Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the
- lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the
- candlestick.
-
- 008:003 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against
- the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 008:004 And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the
- shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work:
- according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so
- he made the candlestick.
-
- 008:005 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 008:006 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and
- cleanse them.
-
- 008:007 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle
- water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their
- flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves
- clean.
-
- 008:008 Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering,
- even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock
- shalt thou take for a sin offering.
-
- 008:009 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the
- congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the
- children of Israel together:
-
- 008:010 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the
- children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
-
- 008:011 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an
- offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the
- service of the LORD.
-
- 008:012 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the
- bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and
- the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an
- atonement for the Levites.
-
- 008:013 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his
- sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.
-
- 008:014 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children
- of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
-
- 008:015 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of
- the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse
- them, and offer them for an offering.
-
- 008:016 For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of
- Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of
- the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them
- unto me.
-
- 008:017 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both
- man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the
- land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
-
- 008:018 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the
- children of Israel.
-
- 008:019 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his
- sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of
- the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation,
- and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that
- there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the
- children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.
-
- 008:020 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children
- of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD
- commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of
- Israel unto them.
-
- 008:021 And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes;
- and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and
- Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
-
- 008:022 And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the
- tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his
- sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites,
- so did they unto them.
-
- 008:023 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 008:024 This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and
- five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the
- service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
-
- 008:025 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon
- the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
-
- 008:026 But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of
- the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service.
- Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
-
- 009:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in
- the first month of the second year after they were come out of
- the land of Egypt, saying,
-
- 009:002 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his
- appointed season.
-
- 009:003 In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it
- in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and
- according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.
-
- 009:004 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should
- keep the passover.
-
- 009:005 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first
- month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all
- that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
-
- 009:006 And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body
- of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day:
- and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
-
- 009:007 And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body
- of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an
- offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the
- children of Israel?
-
- 009:008 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what
- the LORD will command concerning you.
-
- 009:009 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 009:010 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you
- or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead
- body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the
- passover unto the LORD.
-
- 009:011 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep
- it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
-
- 009:012 They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any
- bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover
- they shall keep it.
-
- 009:013 But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and
- forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be
- cut off from among his people: because he brought not the
- offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall
- bear his sin.
-
- 009:014 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the
- passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the
- passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do:
- ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for
- him that was born in the land.
-
- 009:015 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud
- covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and
- at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the
- appearance of fire, until the morning.
-
- 009:016 So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the
- appearance of fire by night.
-
- 009:017 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then
- after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place
- where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched
- their tents.
-
- 009:018 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel
- journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as
- long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in
- their tents.
-
- 009:019 And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days,
- then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and
- journeyed not.
-
- 009:020 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the
- tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they
- abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the
- LORD they journeyed.
-
- 009:021 And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the
- morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then
- they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the
- cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
-
- 009:022 Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the
- cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the
- children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not:
- but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
-
- 009:023 At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and
- at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the
- charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand
- of Moses.
-
- 010:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 010:002 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou
- make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the
- assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
-
- 010:003 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall
- assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of
- the congregation.
-
- 010:004 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which
- are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves
- unto thee.
-
- 010:005 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east
- parts shall go forward.
-
- 010:006 When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie
- on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an
- alarm for their journeys.
-
- 010:007 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall
- blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
-
- 010:008 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the
- trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever
- throughout your generations.
-
- 010:009 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that
- oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets;
- and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye
- shall be saved from your enemies.
-
- 010:010 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and
- in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the
- trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of
- your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial
- before your God: I am the LORD your God.
-
- 010:011 And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month,
- in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the
- tabernacle of the testimony.
-
- 010:012 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the
- wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of
- Paran.
-
- 010:013 And they first took their journey according to the commandment
- of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
-
- 010:014 In the first place went the standard of the camp of the
- children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host
- was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
-
- 010:015 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was
- Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
-
- 010:016 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was
- Eliab the son of Helon.
-
- 010:017 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and
- the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
-
- 010:018 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according
- to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of
- Shedeur.
-
- 010:019 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was
- Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
-
- 010:020 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was
- Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
-
- 010:021 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the
- other did set up the tabernacle against they came.
-
- 010:022 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set
- forward according to their armies: and over his host was
- Elishama the son of Ammihud.
-
- 010:023 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was
- Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
-
- 010:024 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was
- Abidan the son of Gideoni.
-
- 010:025 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set
- forward, which was the rereward of all the camps throughout
- their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of
- Ammishaddai.
-
- 010:026 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was
- Pagiel the son of Ocran.
-
- 010:027 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was
- Ahira the son of Enan.
-
- 010:028 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according
- to their armies, when they set forward.
-
- 010:029 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite,
- Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of
- which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us,
- and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good
- concerning Israel.
-
- 010:030 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine
- own land, and to my kindred.
-
- 010:031 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou
- knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou
- mayest be to us instead of eyes.
-
- 010:032 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that
- what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do
- unto thee.
-
- 010:033 And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days'
- journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before
- them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place
- for them.
-
- 010:034 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went
- out of the camp.
-
- 010:035 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses
- said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and
- let them that hate thee flee before thee.
-
- 010:036 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many
- thousands of Israel.
-
- 011:001 And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and
- the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of
- the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the
- uttermost parts of the camp.
-
- 011:002 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto
- the LORD, the fire was quenched.
-
- 011:003 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire
- of the LORD burnt among them.
-
- 011:004 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and
- the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall
- give us flesh to eat?
-
- 011:005 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the
- cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and
- the garlick:
-
- 011:006 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all,
- beside this manna, before our eyes.
-
- 011:007 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as
- the colour of bdellium.
-
- 011:008 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in
- mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made
- cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh
- oil.
-
- 011:009 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna
- fell upon it.
-
- 011:010 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families,
- every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD
- was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
-
- 011:011 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted
- thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy
- sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
-
- 011:012 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that
- thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a
- nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which
- thou swarest unto their fathers?
-
- 011:013 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for
- they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
-
- 011:014 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too
- heavy for me.
-
- 011:015 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of
- hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see
- my wretchedness.
-
- 011:016 And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of
- the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of
- the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the
- tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with
- thee.
-
- 011:017 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take
- of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them;
- and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that
- thou bear it not thyself alone.
-
- 011:018 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to
- morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears
- of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it
- was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you
- flesh, and ye shall eat.
-
- 011:019 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither
- ten days, nor twenty days;
-
- 011:020 But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils,
- and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised
- the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying,
- Why came we forth out of Egypt?
-
- 011:021 And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred
- thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh,
- that they may eat a whole month.
-
- 011:022 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice
- them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together
- for them, to suffice them?
-
- 011:023 And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short?
- thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto
- thee or not.
-
- 011:024 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD,
- and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and
- set them round about the tabernacle.
-
- 011:025 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and
- took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the
- seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit
- rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
-
- 011:026 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the
- one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit
- rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but
- went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the
- camp.
-
- 011:027 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and
- Medad do prophesy in the camp.
-
- 011:028 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his
- young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
-
- 011:029 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God
- that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that the LORD
- would put his spirit upon them!
-
- 011:030 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
-
- 011:031 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails
- from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a
- day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on
- the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two
- cubits high upon the face of the earth.
-
- 011:032 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and
- all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that
- gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all
- abroad for themselves round about the camp.
-
- 011:033 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was
- chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people,
- and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
-
- 011:034 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because
- there they buried the people that lusted.
-
- 011:035 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth;
- and abode at Hazeroth.
-
- 012:001 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the
- Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an
- Ethiopian woman.
-
- 012:002 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath
- he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
-
- 012:003 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were
- upon the face of the earth.)
-
- 012:004 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and
- unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the
- congregation. And they three came out.
-
- 012:005 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood
- in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam:
- and they both came forth.
-
- 012:006 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among
- you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision,
- and will speak unto him in a dream.
-
- 012:007 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
-
- 012:008 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not
- in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he
- behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my
- servant Moses?
-
- 012:009 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he
- departed.
-
- 012:010 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold,
- Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon
- Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
-
- 012:011 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay
- not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and
- wherein we have sinned.
-
- 012:012 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed
- when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
-
- 012:013 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I
- beseech thee.
-
- 012:014 And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in
- her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be
- shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be
- received in again.
-
- 012:015 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the
- people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
-
- 012:016 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in
- the wilderness of Paran.
-
- 013:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 013:002 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which
- I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their
- fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
-
- 013:003 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the
- wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children
- of Israel.
-
- 013:004 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua
- the son of Zaccur.
-
- 013:005 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
-
- 013:006 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
-
- 013:007 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
-
- 013:008 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
-
- 013:009 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
-
- 013:010 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
-
- 013:011 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh,
- Gaddi the son of Susi.
-
- 013:012 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
-
- 013:013 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
-
- 013:014 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
-
- 013:015 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
-
- 013:016 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the
- land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
-
- 013:017 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said
- unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the
- mountain:
-
- 013:018 And see the land, what it is, and the people that dwelleth
- therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
-
- 013:019 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or
- bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in
- tents, or in strong holds;
-
- 013:020 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there
- be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring
- of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the
- firstripe grapes.
-
- 013:021 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of
- Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
-
- 013:022 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where
- Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now
- Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
-
- 013:023 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from
- thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it
- between two upon a staff; and they brought of the
- pomegranates, and of the figs.
-
- 013:024 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster
- of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
-
- 013:025 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
-
- 013:026 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the
- congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of
- Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto
- all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
-
- 013:027 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither
- thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey;
- and this is the fruit of it.
-
- 013:028 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and
- the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the
- children of Anak there.
-
- 013:029 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the
- Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the
- mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the
- coast of Jordan.
-
- 013:030 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go
- up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome
- it.
-
- 013:031 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go
- up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
-
- 013:032 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had
- searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land,
- through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth
- up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in
- it are men of a great stature.
-
- 013:033 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of
- the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and
- so we were in their sight.
-
- 014:001 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and
- the people wept that night.
-
- 014:002 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and
- against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them,
- Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God
- we had died in this wilderness!
-
- 014:003 And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall
- by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a
- prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
-
- 014:004 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let
- us return into Egypt.
-
- 014:005 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the
- assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
-
- 014:006 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
- which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
-
- 014:007 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel,
- saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an
- exceeding good land.
-
- 014:008 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this
- land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and
- honey.
-
- 014:009 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people
- of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is
- departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
-
- 014:010 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the
- glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the
- congregation before all the children of Israel.
-
- 014:011 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people
- provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for
- all the signs which I have shewed among them?
-
- 014:012 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them,
- and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
-
- 014:013 And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear
- it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from
- among them;)
-
- 014:014 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for
- they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that
- thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth
- over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a
- pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
-
- 014:015 Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the
- nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
-
- 014:016 Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the
- land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in
- the wilderness.
-
- 014:017 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great,
- according as thou hast spoken, saying,
-
- 014:018 The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving
- iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the
- guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
- unto the third and fourth generation.
-
- 014:019 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according
- unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven
- this people, from Egypt even until now.
-
- 014:020 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
-
- 014:021 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the
- glory of the LORD.
-
- 014:022 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my
- miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have
- tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my
- voice;
-
- 014:023 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their
- fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
-
- 014:024 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him,
- and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land
- whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
-
- 014:025 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.)
- Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way
- of the Red sea.
-
- 014:026 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
-
- 014:027 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which
- murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children
- of Israel, which they murmur against me.
-
- 014:028 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have
- spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
-
- 014:029 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were
- numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty
- years old and upward which have murmured against me.
-
- 014:030 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I
- sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of
- Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
-
- 014:031 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them
- will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have
- despised.
-
- 014:032 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this
- wilderness.
-
- 014:033 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years,
- and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the
- wilderness.
-
- 014:034 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land,
- even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your
- iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of
- promise.
-
- 014:035 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil
- congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this
- wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
-
- 014:036 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who
- returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him,
- by bringing up a slander upon the land,
-
- 014:037 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the
- land, died by the plague before the LORD.
-
- 014:038 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
- which were of the men that went to search the land, lived
- still.
-
- 014:039 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel:
- and the people mourned greatly.
-
- 014:040 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into
- the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go
- up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have
- sinned.
-
- 014:041 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment
- of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
-
- 014:042 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not
- smitten before your enemies.
-
- 014:043 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you,
- and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away
- from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
-
- 014:044 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the
- ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out
- of the camp.
-
- 014:045 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt
- in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto
- Hormah.
-
- 015:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 015:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye
- be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto
- you,
-
- 015:003 And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt
- offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill
- offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour
- unto the LORD, of the herd or of the flock:
-
- 015:004 Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a
- meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth
- part of an hin of oil.
-
- 015:005 And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering
- shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for
- one lamb.
-
- 015:006 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth
- deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.
-
- 015:007 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an
- hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
-
- 015:008 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for
- a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the
- LORD:
-
- 015:009 Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three
- tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
-
- 015:010 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine,
- for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
-
- 015:011 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for
- a lamb, or a kid.
-
- 015:012 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do
- to every one according to their number.
-
- 015:013 All that are born of the country shall do these things after
- this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet
- savour unto the LORD.
-
- 015:014 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you
- in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire,
- of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
-
- 015:015 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and
- also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance
- for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger
- be before the LORD.
-
- 015:016 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger
- that sojourneth with you.
-
- 015:017 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 015:018 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye
- come into the land whither I bring you,
-
- 015:019 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land,
- ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.
-
- 015:020 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an
- heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the
- threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.
-
- 015:021 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an
- heave offering in your generations.
-
- 015:022 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments,
- which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
-
- 015:023 Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of
- Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and
- henceforward among your generations;
-
- 015:024 Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without
- the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation
- shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a
- sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his
- drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the
- goats for a sin offering.
-
- 015:025 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the
- congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be
- forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their
- offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their
- sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:
-
- 015:026 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children
- of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing
- all the people were in ignorance.
-
- 015:027 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a
- she goat of the first year for a sin offering.
-
- 015:028 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that
- sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the
- LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven
- him.
-
- 015:029 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance,
- both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and
- for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
-
- 015:030 But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be
- born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the
- LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
-
- 015:031 Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken
- his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his
- iniquity shall be upon him.
-
- 015:032 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they
- found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
-
- 015:033 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto
- Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
-
- 015:034 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what
- should be done to him.
-
- 015:035 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to
- death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones
- without the camp.
-
- 015:036 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and
- stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded
- Moses.
-
- 015:037 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 015:038 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make
- them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their
- generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders
- a ribband of blue:
-
- 015:039 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon
- it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do
- them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own
- eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
-
- 015:040 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy
- unto your God.
-
- 015:041 I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of
- Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.
-
- 016:001 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of
- Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the
- son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:
-
- 016:002 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of
- Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous
- in the congregation, men of renown:
-
- 016:003 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and
- against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you,
- seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and
- the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves
- above the congregation of the LORD?
-
- 016:004 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
-
- 016:005 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even
- to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and
- will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath
- chosen will he cause to come near unto him.
-
- 016:006 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
-
- 016:007 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD
- to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth
- choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons
- of Levi.
-
- 016:008 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
-
- 016:009 Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel
- hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring
- you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the
- LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto
- them?
-
- 016:010 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the
- sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
-
- 016:011 For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered
- together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur
- against him?
-
- 016:012 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab:
- which said, We will not come up:
-
- 016:013 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land
- that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the
- wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over
- us?
-
- 016:014 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth
- with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and
- vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will
- not come up.
-
- 016:015 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not
- thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them,
- neither have I hurt one of them.
-
- 016:016 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before
- the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
-
- 016:017 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and
- bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and
- fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.
-
- 016:018 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and
- laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle
- of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.
-
- 016:019 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the
- door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of
- the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
-
- 016:020 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
-
- 016:021 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may
- consume them in a moment.
-
- 016:022 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of
- the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be
- wroth with all the congregation?
-
- 016:023 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 016:024 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the
- tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
-
- 016:025 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the
- elders of Israel followed him.
-
- 016:026 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray
- you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of
- their's, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
-
- 016:027 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and
- Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and
- stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their
- sons, and their little children.
-
- 016:028 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent
- me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own
- mind.
-
- 016:029 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be
- visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath
- not sent me.
-
- 016:030 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her
- mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them,
- and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand
- that these men have provoked the LORD.
-
- 016:031 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all
- these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under
- them:
-
- 016:032 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and
- their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and
- all their goods.
-
- 016:033 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into
- the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished
- from among the congregation.
-
- 016:034 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of
- them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
-
- 016:035 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two
- hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
-
- 016:036 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 016:037 Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take
- up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire
- yonder; for they are hallowed.
-
- 016:038 The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them
- make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they
- offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and
- they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
-
- 016:039 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they
- that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates
- for a covering of the altar:
-
- 016:040 To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no
- stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to
- offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as
- his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.
-
- 016:041 But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of
- Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye
- have killed the people of the LORD.
-
- 016:042 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered
- against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the
- tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered
- it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
-
- 016:043 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the
- congregation.
-
- 016:044 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 016:045 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume
- them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
-
- 016:046 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein
- from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto
- the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is
- wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.
-
- 016:047 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of
- the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the
- people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the
- people.
-
- 016:048 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague
- was stayed.
-
- 016:049 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and
- seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of
- Korah.
-
- 016:050 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle
- of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
-
- 017:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 017:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of
- them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all
- their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve
- rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod.
-
- 017:003 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for
- one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
-
- 017:004 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the
- congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
-
- 017:005 And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall
- choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the
- murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur
- against you.
-
- 017:006 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of
- their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one,
- according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the
- rod of Aaron was among their rods.
-
- 017:007 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle
- of witness.
-
- 017:008 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the
- tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the
- house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed
- blossoms, and yielded almonds.
-
- 017:009 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto
- all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every
- man his rod.
-
- 017:010 And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before
- the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and
- thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they
- die not.
-
- 017:011 And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
-
- 017:012 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold,
- we die, we perish, we all perish.
-
- 017:013 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the
- LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
-
- 018:001 And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy
- father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the
- sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the
- iniquity of your priesthood.
-
- 018:002 And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy
- father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto
- thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee
- shall minister before the tabernacle of witness.
-
- 018:003 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the
- tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the
- sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.
-
- 018:004 And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the
- tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the
- tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.
-
- 018:005 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge
- of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the
- children of Israel.
-
- 018:006 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from
- among the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift
- for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the
- congregation.
-
- 018:007 Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's
- office for everything of the altar, and within the vail; and
- ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as
- a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be
- put to death.
-
- 018:008 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee
- the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things
- of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by
- reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for
- ever.
-
- 018:009 This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the
- fire: every oblation of their's, every meat offering of
- their's, and every sin offering of their's, and every trespass
- offering of their's which they shall render unto me, shall be
- most holy for thee and for thy sons.
-
- 018:010 In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat
- it: it shall be holy unto thee.
-
- 018:011 And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all
- the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given
- them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with
- thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy
- house shall eat of it.
-
- 018:012 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of
- the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto
- the LORD, them have I given thee.
-
- 018:013 And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall
- bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean
- in thine house shall eat of it.
-
- 018:014 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
-
- 018:015 Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they
- bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be
- thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely
- redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.
-
- 018:016 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou
- redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five
- shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty
- gerahs.
-
- 018:017 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or
- the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy:
- thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn
- their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour
- unto the LORD.
-
- 018:018 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and
- as the right shoulder are thine.
-
- 018:019 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children
- of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons
- and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a
- covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy
- seed with thee.
-
- 018:020 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance
- in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I
- am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of
- Israel.
-
- 018:021 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth
- in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they
- serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
-
- 018:022 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the
- tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
-
- 018:023 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the
- congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be
- a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the
- children of Israel they have no inheritance.
-
- 018:024 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as
- an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites
- to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the
- children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
-
- 018:025 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 018:026 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take
- of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you
- from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an
- heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the
- tithe.
-
- 018:027 And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as
- though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the
- fulness of the winepress.
-
- 018:028 Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of
- all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel;
- and ye shall give thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron
- the priest.
-
- 018:029 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of
- the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part
- thereof out of it.
-
- 018:030 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the
- best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the
- Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the
- increase of the winepress.
-
- 018:031 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households:
- for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of
- the congregation.
-
- 018:032 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved
- from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy
- things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
-
- 019:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
-
- 019:002 This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath
- commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that
- they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no
- blemish, and upon which never came yoke:
-
- 019:003 And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may
- bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her
- before his face:
-
- 019:004 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his
- finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the
- tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
-
- 019:005 And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her
- flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
-
- 019:006 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet,
- and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
-
- 019:007 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his
- flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and
- the priest shall be unclean until the even.
-
- 019:008 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and
- bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
-
- 019:009 And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the
- heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and
- it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of
- Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for
- sin.
-
- 019:010 And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his
- clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto
- the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth
- among them, for a statute for ever.
-
- 019:011 He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean
- seven days.
-
- 019:012 He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the
- seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself
- the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
-
- 019:013 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and
- purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD;
- and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water
- of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean;
- his uncleanness is yet upon him.
-
- 019:014 This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come
- into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean
- seven days.
-
- 019:015 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it,
- is unclean.
-
- 019:016 And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the
- open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave,
- shall be unclean seven days.
-
- 019:017 And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the
- burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall
- be put thereto in a vessel:
-
- 019:018 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water,
- and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and
- upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a
- bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
-
- 019:019 And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the
- third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he
- shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself
- in water, and shall be clean at even.
-
- 019:020 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify
- himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the
- congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the
- LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon
- him; he is unclean.
-
- 019:021 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that
- sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and
- he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean
- until even.
-
- 019:022 And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean;
- and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
-
- 020:001 Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation,
- into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people
- abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
-
- 020:002 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered
- themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
-
- 020:003 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God
- that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!
-
- 020:004 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into
- this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
-
- 020:005 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to
- bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or
- of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any
- water to drink.
-
- 020:006 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly
- unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they
- fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto
- them.
-
- 020:007 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 020:008 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and
- Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their
- eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring
- forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the
- congregation and their beasts drink.
-
- 020:009 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded
- him.
-
- 020:010 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before
- the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we
- fetch you water out of this rock?
-
- 020:011 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the
- rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the
- congregation drank, and their beasts also.
-
- 020:012 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed
- me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel,
- therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land
- which I have given them.
-
- 020:013 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel
- strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
-
- 020:014 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom,
- Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail
- that hath befallen us:
-
- 020:015 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in
- Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our
- fathers:
-
- 020:016 And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent
- an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold,
- we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:
-
- 020:017 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not
- pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither
- will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the
- king's high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the
- left, until we have passed thy borders.
-
- 020:018 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come
- out against thee with the sword.
-
- 020:019 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the
- high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I
- will pay for it: I will only, without doing anything else, go
- through on my feet.
-
- 020:020 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out
- against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
-
- 020:021 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border:
- wherefore Israel turned away from him.
-
- 020:022 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation,
- journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
-
- 020:023 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the
- coast of the land of Edom, saying,
-
- 020:024 Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not
- enter into the land which I have given unto the children of
- Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of
- Meribah.
-
- 020:025 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount
- Hor:
-
- 020:026 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his
- son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall
- die there.
-
- 020:027 And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into
- mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
-
- 020:028 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon
- Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount:
- and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.
-
- 020:029 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they
- mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
-
- 021:001 And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south,
- heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he
- fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
-
- 021:002 And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt
- indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly
- destroy their cities.
-
- 021:003 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered
- up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their
- cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
-
- 021:004 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea,
- to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was
- much discouraged because of the way.
-
- 021:005 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore
- have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?
- for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our
- soul loatheth this light bread.
-
- 021:006 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they
- bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
-
- 021:007 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned,
- for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray
- unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And
- Moses prayed for the people.
-
- 021:008 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and
- set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one
- that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
-
- 021:009 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and
- it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he
- beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
-
- 021:010 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
-
- 021:011 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in
- the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
-
- 021:012 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
-
- 021:013 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of
- Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the
- coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab,
- between Moab and the Amorites.
-
- 021:014 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What
- he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
-
- 021:015 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the
- dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
-
- 021:016 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof
- the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I
- will give them water.
-
- 021:017 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto
- it:
-
- 021:018 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged
- it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And
- from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
-
- 021:019 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
-
- 021:020 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab,
- to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
-
- 021:021 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites,
- saying,
-
- 021:022 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the
- fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters
- of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way,
- until we be past thy borders.
-
- 021:023 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border:
- but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out
- against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and
- fought against Israel.
-
- 021:024 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed
- his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of
- Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
-
- 021:025 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the
- cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages
- thereof.
-
- 021:026 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites,
- who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all
- his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
-
- 021:027 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon,
- let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
-
- 021:028 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city
- of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the
- high places of Arnon.
-
- 021:029 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he
- hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into
- captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
-
- 021:030 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and
- we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto
- Medeba.
-
- 021:031 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
-
- 021:032 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages
- thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
-
- 021:033 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the
- king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people,
- to the battle at Edrei.
-
- 021:034 And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have
- delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land;
- and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the
- Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
-
- 021:035 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until
- there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
-
- 022:001 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the
- plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.
-
- 022:002 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to
- the Amorites.
-
- 022:003 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were
- many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of
- Israel.
-
- 022:004 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this
- company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh
- up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was
- king of the Moabites at that time.
-
- 022:005 He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to
- Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of
- his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people
- come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth,
- and they abide over against me:
-
- 022:006 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for
- they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that
- we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land:
- for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom
- thou cursest is cursed.
-
- 022:007 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with
- the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto
- Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.
-
- 022:008 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring
- you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the
- princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
-
- 022:009 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with
- thee?
-
- 022:010 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of
- Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,
-
- 022:011 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth
- the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I
- shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
-
- 022:012 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou
- shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.
-
- 022:013 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes
- of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to
- give me leave to go with you.
-
- 022:014 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and
- said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
-
- 022:015 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable
- than they.
-
- 022:016 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the
- son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from
- coming unto me:
-
- 022:017 For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do
- whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee,
- curse me this people.
-
- 022:018 And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If
- Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I
- cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or
- more.
-
- 022:019 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that
- I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.
-
- 022:020 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the
- men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the
- word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.
-
- 022:021 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and
- went with the princes of Moab.
-
- 022:022 And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of
- the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he
- was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.
-
- 022:023 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and
- his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of
- the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to
- turn her into the way.
-
- 022:024 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a
- wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
-
- 022:025 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself
- unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and
- he smote her again.
-
- 022:026 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow
- place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to
- the left.
-
- 022:027 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down
- under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the
- ass with a staff.
-
- 022:028 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto
- Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me
- these three times?
-
- 022:029 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I
- would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill
- thee.
-
- 022:030 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which
- thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I
- ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
-
- 022:031 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel
- of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his
- hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
-
- 022:032 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou
- smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to
- withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:
-
- 022:033 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times:
- unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain
- thee, and saved her alive.
-
- 022:034 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for
- I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now
- therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.
-
- 022:035 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men:
- but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou
- shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
-
- 022:036 And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet
- him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon,
- which is in the utmost coast.
-
- 022:037 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee
- to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able
- indeed to promote thee to honour?
-
- 022:038 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I
- now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God
- putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
-
- 022:039 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.
-
- 022:040 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to
- the princes that were with him.
-
- 022:041 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and
- brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he
- might see the utmost part of the people.
-
- 023:001 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and
- prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
-
- 023:002 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam
- offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
-
- 023:003 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I
- will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and
- whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an
- high place.
-
- 023:004 And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared
- seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock
- and a ram.
-
- 023:005 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return
- unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
-
- 023:006 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt
- sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
-
- 023:007 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab
- hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east,
- saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
-
- 023:008 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I
- defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
-
- 023:009 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I
- behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be
- reckoned among the nations.
-
- 023:010 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth
- part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let
- my last end be like his!
-
- 023:011 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I
- took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast
- blessed them altogether.
-
- 023:012 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that
- which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
-
- 023:013 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto
- another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt
- see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all:
- and curse me them from thence.
-
- 023:014 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of
- Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a
- ram on every altar.
-
- 023:015 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering,
- while I meet the LORD yonder.
-
- 023:016 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and
- said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
-
- 023:017 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt
- offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said
- unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?
-
- 023:018 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and
- hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
-
- 023:019 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man,
- that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it?
- or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
-
- 023:020 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath
- blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
-
- 023:021 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen
- perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the
- shout of a king is among them.
-
- 023:022 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength
- of an unicorn.
-
- 023:023 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there
- any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall
- be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
-
- 023:024 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up
- himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of
- the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
-
- 023:025 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor
- bless them at all.
-
- 023:026 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee,
- saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
-
- 023:027 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring
- thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that
- thou mayest curse me them from thence.
-
- 023:028 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh
- toward Jeshimon.
-
- 023:029 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and
- prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
-
- 023:030 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a
- ram on every altar.
-
- 024:001 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel,
- he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but
- he set his face toward the wilderness.
-
- 024:002 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in
- his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God
- came upon him.
-
- 024:003 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor
- hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
-
- 024:004 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the
- vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his
- eyes open:
-
- 024:005 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O
- Israel!
-
- 024:006 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the
- river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath
- planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
-
- 024:007 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall
- be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and
- his kingdom shall be exalted.
-
- 024:008 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the
- strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his
- enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through
- with his arrows.
-
- 024:009 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who
- shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and
- cursed is he that curseth thee.
-
- 024:010 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his
- hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to
- curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed
- them these three times.
-
- 024:011 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote
- thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back
- from honour.
-
- 024:012 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers
- which thou sentest unto me, saying,
-
- 024:013 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I
- cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either
- good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that
- will I speak?
-
- 024:014 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I
- will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in
- the latter days.
-
- 024:015 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor
- hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
-
- 024:016 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the
- knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the
- Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
-
- 024:017 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not
- nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre
- shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab,
- and destroy all the children of Sheth.
-
- 024:018 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a
- possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
-
- 024:019 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall
- destroy him that remaineth of the city.
-
- 024:020 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and
- said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end
- shall be that he perish for ever.
-
- 024:021 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and
- said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest
- in a rock.
-
- 024:022 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall
- carry thee away captive.
-
- 024:023 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live
- when God doeth this!
-
- 024:024 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall
- afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall
- perish for ever.
-
- 024:025 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and
- Balak also went his way.
-
- 025:001 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit
- whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
-
- 025:002 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods:
- and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
-
- 025:003 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the
- LORD was kindled against Israel.
-
- 025:004 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the
- people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that
- the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
-
- 025:005 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one
- his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
-
- 025:006 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought
- unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses,
- and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of
- Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of
- the congregation.
-
- 025:007 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the
- priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and
- took a javelin in his hand;
-
- 025:008 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust
- both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through
- her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of
- Israel.
-
- 025:009 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four
- thousand.
-
- 025:010 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 025:011 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,
- hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while
- he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the
- children of Israel in my jealousy.
-
- 025:012 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
-
- 025:013 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the
- covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous
- for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
-
- 025:014 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was
- slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu,
- a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.
-
- 025:015 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was
- Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of
- a chief house in Midian.
-
- 025:016 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 025:017 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
-
- 025:018 For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have
- beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of
- Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which
- was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.
-
- 026:001 And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto
- Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
-
- 026:002 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of
- Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their
- fathers' house, all that are able to go to war in Israel.
-
- 026:003 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains
- of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
-
- 026:004 Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward;
- as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which
- went forth out of the land of Egypt.

- who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of
- Korah, when they strove against the LORD:
-
- 026:010 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together
- with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire
- devoured two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign.

- according to the number of names.
-
- 026:054 To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou
- shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his
- inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of
- him.
-
- 026:055 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to
- the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

-
- 026:061 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire
- before the LORD.
-
- 026:062 And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three
- thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were
- not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was
- no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.
-
- 026:063 These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the
- priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of
- Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
-
- 026:064 But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and
- Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of
- Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.
-
- 026:065 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the
- wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb
- the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
-
- 027:001 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the
- son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the
- families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the
- names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah,
- and Tirzah.
-
- 027:002 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest,
- and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door
- of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
-
- 027:003 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the
- company of them that gathered themselves together against the
- LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had
- no sons.
-
- 027:004 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his
- family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a
- possession among the brethren of our father.
-
- 027:005 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
-
- 027:006 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 027:007 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely
- give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's
- brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father
- to pass unto them.
-
- 027:008 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a
- man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance
- to pass unto his daughter.
-
- 027:009 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance
- unto his brethren.
-
- 027:010 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance
- unto his father's brethren.
-
- 027:011 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his
- inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his
- family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the
- children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD
- commanded Moses.
-
- 027:012 And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount
- Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children
- of Israel.
-
- 027:013 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto
- thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
-
- 027:014 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin,
- in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water
- before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in
- the wilderness of Zin.
-
- 027:015 And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
-
- 027:016 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man
- over the congregation,
-
- 027:017 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them,
- and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that
- the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no
- shepherd.
-
- 027:018 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun,
- a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
-
- 027:019 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
- congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
-
- 027:020 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the
- congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
-
- 027:021 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask
- counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at
- his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come
- in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all
- the congregation.
-
- 027:022 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua,
- and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
- congregation:
-
- 027:023 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the
- LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
-
- 028:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 028:002 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My
- offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a
- sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in
- their due season.
-
- 028:003 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by
- fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the
- first year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt
- offering.
-
- 028:004 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other
- lamb shalt thou offer at even;
-
- 028:005 And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering,
- mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.
-
- 028:006 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount
- Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the
- LORD.
-
- 028:007 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an
- hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the
- strong wine to be poured unto the LORD for a drink offering.
-
- 028:008 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat
- offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof,
- thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet
- savour unto the LORD.
-
- 028:009 And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without
- spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering,
- mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof:
-
- 028:010 This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the
- continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
-
- 028:011 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt
- offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven
- lambs of the first year without spot;
-
- 028:012 And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled
- with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a
- meat offering, mingled with oil, for one ram;
-
- 028:013 And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat
- offering unto one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet
- savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
-
- 028:014 And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a
- bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth
- part of an hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of
- every month throughout the months of the year.
-
- 028:015 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD
- shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his
- drink offering.
-
- 028:016 And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover
- of the LORD.
-
- 028:017 And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven
- days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
-
- 028:018 In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no
- manner of servile work therein:
-
- 028:019 But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt

- blemish:
-

- deals for a ram;

-
- 028:022 And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.
-
- 028:023 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning,
- which is for a continual burnt offering.
-
- 028:024 After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven
- days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet
- savour unto the LORD: it shall be offered beside the continual
- burnt offering, and his drink offering.
-
- 028:025 And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye
- shall do no servile work.
-
- 028:026 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat

- and their drink offerings.
-
- 029:001 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye

-

-
- 029:029 And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, and fourteen
- lambs of the first year without blemish:
-
- 029:030 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the
- bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according
- to their number, after the manner:
-
- 029:031 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
- offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
-
- 029:032 And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, and fourteen
- lambs of the first year without blemish:
-
- 029:033 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the
- bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according
- to their number, after the manner:
-
- 029:034 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
- offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
-
- 029:035 On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do
- no servile work therein:
-
- 029:036 But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire,
- of a sweet savour unto the LORD: one bullock, one ram, seven
- lambs of the first year without blemish:
-
- 029:037 Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullock,
- for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their
- number, after the manner:
-
- 029:038 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
- offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
-
- 029:039 These things ye shall do unto the LORD in your set feasts,
- beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt
- offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your drink
- offerings, and for your peace offerings.
-
- 029:040 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that
- the LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 030:001 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the
- children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD
- hath commanded.
-
- 030:002 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his
- soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do
- according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
-
- 030:003 If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a
- bond, being in her father's house in her youth;
-
- 030:004 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath
- bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her;
- then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she
- hath bound her soul shall stand.
-
- 030:005 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not
- any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her
- soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her
- father disallowed her.
-
- 030:006 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered
- ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
-
- 030:007 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day
- that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds
- wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
-
- 030:008 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it;
- then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she
- uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none
- effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.
-
- 030:009 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced,
- wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against
- her.
-
- 030:010 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by
- a bond with an oath;
-
- 030:011 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and
- disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every
- bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
-
- 030:012 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he
- heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips
- concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall
- not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall
- forgive her.
-
- 030:013 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her
- husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
-
- 030:014 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day
- to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds,
- which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his
- peace at her in the day that he heard them.
-
- 030:015 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath
- heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
-
- 030:016 These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses,
- between a man and his wife, between the father and his
- daughter, being yet in her youth in her father's house.
-
- 031:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 031:002 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward
- shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
-
- 031:003 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of
- yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the
- Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.
-
- 031:004 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of
- Israel, shall ye send to the war.
-
- 031:005 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a
- thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
-
- 031:006 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe,
- them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war,
- with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his
- hand.
-
- 031:007 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded
- Moses; and they slew all the males.
-
- 031:008 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them
- that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and
- Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they
- slew with the sword.
-
- 031:009 And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian
- captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all
- their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
-
- 031:010 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all
- their goodly castles, with fire.
-
- 031:011 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and
- of beasts.
-
- 031:012 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil,
- unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation
- of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of
- Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.
-
- 031:013 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the
- congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
-
- 031:014 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the
- captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which
- came from the battle.
-
- 031:015 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
-
- 031:016 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the
- counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the
- matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation
- of the LORD.
-
- 031:017 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill
- every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
-
- 031:018 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying
- with him, keep alive for yourselves.
-
- 031:019 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath
- killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain,
- purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and
- on the seventh day.
-
- 031:020 And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins,
- and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.
-
- 031:021 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to
- the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD
- commanded Moses;
-
- 031:022 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin,
- and the lead,
-
- 031:023 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go
- through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall
- be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth
- not the fire ye shall make go through the water.
-
- 031:024 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye
- shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
-
- 031:025 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 031:026 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of
- beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of
- the congregation:
-
- 031:027 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the
- war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the
- congregation:
-
- 031:028 And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went
- out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons,
- and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
-
- 031:029 Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest,
- for an heave offering of the LORD.
-
- 031:030 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one
- portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses,
- and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto
- the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the
- LORD.
-
- 031:031 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded
- Moses.
-
- 031:032 And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war
- had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and
- five thousand sheep,
-
- 031:033 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
-
- 031:034 And threescore and one thousand asses,
-
- 031:035 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had
- not known man by lying with him.
-
- 031:036 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to
- war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty
- thousand and five hundred sheep:
-
- 031:037 And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and
- threescore and fifteen.
-
- 031:038 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the
- LORD's tribute was threescore and twelve.
-
- 031:039 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which
- the LORD's tribute was threescore and one.
-
- 031:040 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's
- tribute was thirty and two persons.
-
- 031:041 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave
- offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded
- Moses.
-
- 031:042 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from
- the men that warred,
-
- 031:043 (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three
- hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and
- five hundred sheep,
-
- 031:044 And thirty and six thousand beeves,
-
- 031:045 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
-
- 031:046 And sixteen thousand persons;)
-
- 031:047 Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion
- of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the
- Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD;
- as the LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 031:048 And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the
- captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near
- unto Moses:
-
- 031:049 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of
- the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh
- not one man of us.
-
- 031:050 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every
- man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets,
- rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our
- souls before the LORD.
-
- 031:051 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even
- all wrought jewels.
-
- 031:052 And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the
- LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of
- hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty
- shekels.
-
- 031:053 (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
-
- 031:054 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains
- of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the
- tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the
- children of Israel before the LORD.
-
- 032:001 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very
- great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of
- Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a
- place for cattle;
-
- 032:002 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake
- unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of
- the congregation, saying,
-
- 032:003 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and
- Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
-
- 032:004 Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation
- of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
-
- 032:005 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let
- this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and
- bring us not over Jordan.
-
- 032:006 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of
- Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
-
- 032:007 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of
- Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given
- them?
-
- 032:008 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to
- see the land.
-
- 032:009 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the
- land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel,
- that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given
- them.
-
- 032:010 And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware,
- saying,
-
- 032:011 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty
- years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto
- Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not
- wholly followed me:
-
- 032:012 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the
- son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
-
- 032:013 And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made
- them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the
- generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was
- consumed.
-
- 032:014 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an
- increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the
- LORD toward Israel.
-
- 032:015 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave
- them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
-
- 032:016 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build
- sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little
- ones:
-
- 032:017 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of
- Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our
- little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the
- inhabitants of the land.
-
- 032:018 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of
- Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
-
- 032:019 For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or
- forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side
- Jordan eastward.
-
- 032:020 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will
- go armed before the LORD to war,
-
- 032:021 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD,
- until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
-
- 032:022 And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye
- shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before
- Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the
- LORD.
-
- 032:023 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the
- LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
-
- 032:024 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your
- sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
-
- 032:025 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto
- Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
-
- 032:026 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle,
- shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
-
- 032:027 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war,
- before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.
-
- 032:028 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and
- Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of
- the children of Israel:
-
- 032:029 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the
- children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man
- armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be
- subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead
- for a possession:
-
- 032:030 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have
- possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
-
- 032:031 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered,
- saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we
- do.
-
- 032:032 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of
- Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side
- Jordan may be our's.
-
- 032:033 And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to
- the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh
- the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites,
- and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the
- cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country
- round about.
-
- 032:034 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
-
- 032:035 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
-
- 032:036 And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for
- sheep.
-
- 032:037 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and
- Kirjathaim,
-
- 032:038 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and
- Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they
- builded.
-
- 032:039 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead,
- and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.
-
- 032:040 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he
- dwelt therein.
-
- 032:041 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns
- thereof, and called them Havothjair.
-
- 032:042 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and
- called it Nobah, after his own name.
-
- 033:001 These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went
- forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the
- hand of Moses and Aaron.
-
- 033:002 And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys
- by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys
- according to their goings out.
-
- 033:003 And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the
- fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the
- passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in
- the sight of all the Egyptians.
-
- 033:004 For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD
- had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed
- judgments.
-
- 033:005 And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched
- in Succoth.
-
- 033:006 And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is
- in the edge of the wilderness.
-
- 033:007 And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth,
- which is before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.
-
- 033:008 And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through
- the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days'
- journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.
-
- 033:009 And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim
- were twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm
- trees; and they pitched there.
-
- 033:010 And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.
-
- 033:011 And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the
- wilderness of Sin.
-
- 033:012 And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and
- encamped in Dophkah.
-
- 033:013 And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.
-
- 033:014 And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where
- was no water for the people to drink.
-
- 033:015 And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness
- of Sinai.
-
- 033:016 And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at
- Kibrothhattaavah.
-
- 033:017 And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at
- Hazeroth.
-
- 033:018 And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.
-
- 033:019 And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmonparez.
-
- 033:020 And they departed from Rimmonparez, and pitched in Libnah.
-
- 033:021 And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.
-
- 033:022 And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.
-
- 033:023 And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.
-
- 033:024 And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.
-
- 033:025 And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.
-
- 033:026 And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.
-
- 033:027 And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.
-
- 033:028 And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.
-
- 033:029 And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
-
- 033:030 And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.
-
- 033:031 And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Benejaakan.
-
- 033:032 And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad.
-
- 033:033 And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.
-
- 033:034 And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.
-
- 033:035 And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber.
-
- 033:036 And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the
- wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.
-
- 033:037 And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the
- edge of the land of Edom.
-
- 033:038 And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment
- of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the
- children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the
- first day of the fifth month.
-
- 033:039 And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when
- he died in mount Hor.
-
- 033:040 And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the
- land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
-
- 033:041 And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.
-
- 033:042 And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
-
- 033:043 And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.
-
- 033:044 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the
- border of Moab.
-
- 033:045 And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.
-
- 033:046 And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in
- Almondiblathaim.
-
- 033:047 And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the
- mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
-
- 033:048 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in
- the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
-
- 033:049 And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even unto
- Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.
-
- 033:050 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan
- near Jericho, saying,
-
- 033:051 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye
- are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
-
- 033:052 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from
- before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all
- their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high
- places:
-
- 033:053 And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell
- therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
-
- 033:054 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among
- your families: and to the more ye shall give the more
- inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less
- inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place
- where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers
- ye shall inherit.
-
- 033:055 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from
- before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye
- let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in
- your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
-
- 033:056 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I
- thought to do unto them.
-
- 034:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 034:002 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye
- come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall
- fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with
- the coasts thereof:)
-
- 034:003 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin
- along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the
- outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:
-
- 034:004 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of
- Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof
- shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to
- Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:
-
- 034:005 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river
- of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
-
- 034:006 And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great
- sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
-
- 034:007 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye
- shall point out for you mount Hor:
-
- 034:008 From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the
- entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall
- be to Zedad:
-
- 034:009 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of
- it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.
-
- 034:010 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to
- Shepham:
-
- 034:011 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the
- east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall
- reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
-
- 034:012 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of
- it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the
- coasts thereof round about.
-
- 034:013 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is
- the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD
- commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
-
- 034:014 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house
- of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad
- according to the house of their fathers, have received their
- inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received
- their inheritance:
-
- 034:015 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their
- inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward
- the sunrising.
-
- 034:016 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 034:017 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land
- unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
-
- 034:018 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the
- land by inheritance.
-
- 034:019 And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah,
- Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
-
- 034:020 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of
- Ammihud.
-
- 034:021 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
-
- 034:022 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the
- son of Jogli.
-
- 034:023 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the
- children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
-
- 034:024 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel
- the son of Shiphtan.
-
- 034:025 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun,
- Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
-
- 034:026 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar,
- Paltiel the son of Azzan.
-
- 034:027 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud
- the son of Shelomi.
-
- 034:028 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali,
- Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
-
- 034:029 These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the
- inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
-
- 035:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan
- near Jericho, saying,
-
- 035:002 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the
- Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell
- in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the
- cities round about them.
-
- 035:003 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of
- them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for
- all their beasts.
-
- 035:004 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the
- Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a
- thousand cubits round about.
-
- 035:005 And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side
- two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand
- cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the
- north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the
- midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
-
- 035:006 And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites
- there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint
- for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye
- shall add forty and two cities.
-
- 035:007 So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be
- forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
-
- 035:008 And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession
- of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall
- give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few:
- every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according
- to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
-
- 035:009 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
- 035:010 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye
- be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
-
- 035:011 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for
- you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any
- person at unawares.
-
- 035:012 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger;
- that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the
- congregation in judgment.
-
- 035:013 And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye
- have for refuge.
-
- 035:014 Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three
- cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be
- cities of refuge.
-
- 035:015 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of
- Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among
- them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee
- thither.
-
- 035:016 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he
- die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to
- death.
-
- 035:017 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may
- die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely
- be put to death.
-
- 035:018 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he
- may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall
- surely be put to death.
-
- 035:019 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he
- meeteth him, he shall slay him.
-
- 035:020 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of
- wait, that he die;
-
- 035:021 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that
- smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer:
- the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth
- him.
-
- 035:022 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast
- upon him any thing without laying of wait,
-
- 035:023 Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not,
- and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy,
- neither sought his harm:
-
- 035:024 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the
- revenger of blood according to these judgments:
-
- 035:025 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand
- of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore
- him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he
- shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was
- anointed with the holy oil.
-
- 035:026 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of
- the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
-
- 035:027 And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the
- city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer;
- he shall not be guilty of blood:
-
- 035:028 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge
- until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the
- high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his
- possession.
-
- 035:029 So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you
- throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
-
- 035:030 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death
- by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify
- against any person to cause him to die.
-
- 035:031 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a
- murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put
- to death.
-
- 035:032 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the
- city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the
- land, until the death of the priest.
-
- 035:033 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it
- defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the
- blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed
- it.
-
- 035:034 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein
- I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
-
- 036:001 And the chief fathers of the families of the children of
- Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the
- families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before
- Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the
- children of Israel:
-
- 036:002 And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for
- an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord
- was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of
- Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
-
- 036:003 And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes
- of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be
- taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to
- the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so
- shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
-
- 036:004 And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then
- shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the
- tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance
- be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our
- fathers.
-
- 036:005 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the
- word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath
- said well.
-
- 036:006 This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the
- daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they
- think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father
- shall they marry.
-
- 036:007 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove
- from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel
- shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his
- fathers.
-
- 036:008 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any
- tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the
- family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel
- may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
-
- 036:009 Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another
- tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel
- shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
-
- 036:010 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of
- Zelophehad:
-
- 036:011 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the
- daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's
- brothers' sons:
-
- 036:012 And they were married into the families of the sons of
- Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in
- the tribe of the family of their father.
-
- 036:013 These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD
- commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in
- the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
-
- Book 05 Deuteronomy
-
- 001:001 These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this
- side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the
- Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth,
- and Dizahab.
-
- 001:002 (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount
- Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
-
- 001:003 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh
- month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto
- the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had
- given him in commandment unto them;
-
- 001:004 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt
- in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth
- in Edrei:
-
- 001:005 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to
- declare this law, saying,
-
- 001:006 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt
- long enough in this mount:
-
- 001:007 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the
- Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the
- plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by
- the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon,
- unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
-
- 001:008 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the
- land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac,
- and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
-
- 001:009 And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to
- bear you myself alone:
-
- 001:010 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are
- this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
-
- 001:011 (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so
- many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
-
- 001:012 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden,
- and your strife?
-
- 001:013 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your
- tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
-
- 001:014 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken
- is good for us to do.
-
- 001:015 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and
- made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and
- captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and
- captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
-
- 001:016 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the
- causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between
- every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
-
- 001:017 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear
- the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the
- face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is
- too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
-
- 001:018 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye
- should do.
-
- 001:019 And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that
- great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the
- mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us;
- and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
-
- 001:020 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the
- Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.
-
- 001:021 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up
- and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto
- thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
-
- 001:022 And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will
- send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and
- bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what
- cities we shall come.
-
- 001:023 And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you,
- one of a tribe:
-
- 001:024 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto
- the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
-
- 001:025 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and
- brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said,
- It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.
-
- 001:026 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the
- commandment of the LORD your God:
-
- 001:027 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD
- hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt,
- to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
-
- 001:028 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our
- heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the
- cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have
- seen the sons of the Anakims there.
-
- 001:029 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
-
- 001:030 The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for
- you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your
- eyes;
-
- 001:031 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD
- thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way
- that ye went, until ye came into this place.
-
- 001:032 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
-
- 001:033 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to
- pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way
- ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
-
- 001:034 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and
- sware, saying,
-
- 001:035 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil
- generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your
- fathers.
-
- 001:036 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him
- will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his
- children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
-
- 001:037 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou
- also shalt not go in thither.
-
- 001:038 But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he
- shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel
- to inherit it.
-
- 001:039 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and
- your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good
- and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give
- it, and they shall possess it.
-
- 001:040 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the
- wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
-
- 001:041 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the
- LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD
- our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his
- weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
-
- 001:042 And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither
- fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your
- enemies.
-
- 001:043 So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled
- against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously
- up into the hill.
-
- 001:044 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out
- against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in
- Seir, even unto Hormah.
-
- 001:045 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would
- not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
-
- 001:046 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that
- ye abode there.
-
- 002:001 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by
- the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we
- compassed mount Seir many days.
-
- 002:002 And the LORD spake unto me, saying,
-
- 002:003 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you
- northward.
-
- 002:004 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through
- the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell
- in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed
- unto yourselves therefore:
-
- 002:005 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land,
- no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount
- Seir unto Esau for a possession.
-
- 002:006 Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye
- shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
-
- 002:007 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy
- hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness:
- these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou
- hast lacked nothing.
-
- 002:008 And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau,
- which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath,
- and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the
- wilderness of Moab.
-
- 002:009 And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither
- contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their
- land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the
- children of Lot for a possession.
-
- 002:010 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and
- many, and tall, as the Anakims;
-
- 002:011 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the
- Moabites called them Emims.
-
- 002:012 The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of
- Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before
- them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of
- his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.
-
- 002:013 Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we
- went over the brook Zered.
-
- 002:014 And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we
- were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years;
- until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out
- from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them.
-
- 002:015 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy
- them from among the host, until they were consumed.
-
- 002:016 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and
- dead from among the people,
-
- 002:017 That the LORD spake unto me, saying,
-
- 002:018 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
-
- 002:019 And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon,
- distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give
- thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession;
- because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a
- possession.
-
- 002:020 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt
- therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
-
- 002:021 A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the
- LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and
- dwelt in their stead:
-
- 002:022 As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when
- he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded
- them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:
-
- 002:023 And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the
- Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them,
- and dwelt in their stead.)
-
- 002:024 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon:
- behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king
- of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend
- with him in battle.
-
- 002:025 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of
- thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who
- shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in
- anguish because of thee.
-
- 002:026 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto
- Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
-
- 002:027 Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way,
- I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
-
- 002:028 Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me
- water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on
- my feet;
-
- 002:029 (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites
- which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over
- Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.
-
- 002:030 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for
- the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart
- obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as
- appeareth this day.
-
- 002:031 And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon
- and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest
- inherit his land.
-
- 002:032 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to
- fight at Jahaz.
-
- 002:033 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote
- him, and his sons, and all his people.
-
- 002:034 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed
- the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we
- left none to remain:
-
- 002:035 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the
- spoil of the cities which we took.
-
- 002:036 From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and
- from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there
- was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered
- all unto us:
-
- 002:037 Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not,
- nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in
- the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us.
-
- 003:001 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king
- of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to
- battle at Edrei.
-
- 003:002 And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver
- him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou
- shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the
- Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
-
- 003:003 So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king
- of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was
- left to him remaining.
-
- 003:004 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city
- which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region
- of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
-
- 003:005 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars;
- beside unwalled towns a great many.
-
- 003:006 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of
- Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of
- every city.
-
- 003:007 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a
- prey to ourselves.
-
- 003:008 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of
- the Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the
- river of Arnon unto mount Hermon;
-
- 003:009 (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call
- it Shenir;)
-
- 003:010 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan,
- unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
-
- 003:011 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants;
- behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in
- Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length
- thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of
- a man.
-
- 003:012 And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer,
- which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the
- cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
-
- 003:013 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of
- Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of
- Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
-
- 003:014 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto
- the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his
- own name, Bashanhavothjair, unto this day.
-
- 003:015 And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
-
- 003:016 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from
- Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the
- border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the
- children of Ammon;
-
- 003:017 The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from
- Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea,
- under Ashdothpisgah eastward.
-
- 003:018 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God
- hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over
- armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that
- are meet for the war.
-
- 003:019 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I
- know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities
- which I have given you;
-
- 003:020 Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as well as
- unto you, and until they also possess the land which the LORD
- your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye
- return every man unto his possession, which I have given you.
-
- 003:021 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have
- seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two
- kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou
- passest.
-
- 003:022 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight
- for you.
-
- 003:023 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,
-
- 003:024 O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness,
- and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in
- earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to
- thy might?
-
- 003:025 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is
- beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
-
- 003:026 But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not
- hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak
- no more unto me of this matter.
-
- 003:027 Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes
- westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and
- behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this
- Jordan.
-
- 003:028 But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for
- he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them
- to inherit the land which thou shalt see.
-
- 003:029 So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor.
-
- 004:001 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto
- the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may
- live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of
- your fathers giveth you.
-
- 004:002 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither
- shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the
- commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
-
- 004:003 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for
- all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath
- destroyed them from among you.
-
- 004:004 But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every
- one of you this day.
-
- 004:005 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the
- LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land
- whither ye go to possess it.
-
- 004:006 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your
- understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear
- all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a
- wise and understanding people.
-
- 004:007 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto
- them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon
- him for?
-
- 004:008 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and
- judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you
- this day?
-
- 004:009 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest
- thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest
- they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach
- them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;
-
- 004:010 Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God
- in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people
- together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may
- learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the
- earth, and that they may teach their children.
-
- 004:011 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the
- mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with
- darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
-
- 004:012 And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye
- heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye
- heard a voice.
-
- 004:013 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you
- to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two
- tables of stone.
-
- 004:014 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes
- and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go
- over to possess it.
-
- 004:015 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no
- manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you
- in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
-
- 004:016 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the
- similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
-
- 004:017 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness
- of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
-
- 004:018 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the
- likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
-
- 004:019 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou
- seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host
- of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve
- them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations
- under the whole heaven.
-
- 004:020 But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the
- iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of
- inheritance, as ye are this day.
-
- 004:021 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and
- sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not
- go in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee
- for an inheritance:
-
- 004:022 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye
- shall go over, and possess that good land.
-
- 004:023 Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the
- LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven
- image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God
- hath forbidden thee.
-
- 004:024 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
-
- 004:025 When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and
- ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt
- yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any
- thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to
- provoke him to anger:
-
- 004:026 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that
- ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go
- over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon
- it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
-
- 004:027 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall
- be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD
- shall lead you.
-
- 004:028 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood
- and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
-
- 004:029 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou
- shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with
- all thy soul.
-
- 004:030 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come
- upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD
- thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
-
- 004:031 (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake
- thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy
- fathers which he sware unto them.
-
- 004:032 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee,
- since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask
- from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath
- been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard
- like it?
-
- 004:033 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the
- midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
-
- 004:034 Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst
- of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders,
- and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm,
- and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God
- did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
-
- 004:035 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD
- he is God; there is none else beside him.
-
- 004:036 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might
- instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire;
- and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.
-
- 004:037 And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their
- seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his
- mighty power out of Egypt;
-
- 004:038 To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier
- than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for
- an inheritance, as it is this day.
-
- 004:039 Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that
- the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth
- beneath: there is none else.
-
- 004:040 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments,
- which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee,
- and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong
- thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee,
- for ever.
-
- 004:041 Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the
- sunrising;
-
- 004:042 That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his
- neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that
- fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:
-
- 004:043 Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the
- Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in
- Bashan, of the Manassites.
-
- 004:044 And this is the law which Moses set before the children of
- Israel:
-
- 004:045 These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the
- judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel,
- after they came forth out of Egypt.
-
- 004:046 On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Bethpeor, in
- the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon,
- whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were
- come forth out of Egypt:
-
- 004:047 And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of
- Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side
- Jordan toward the sunrising;
-
- 004:048 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto
- mount Sion, which is Hermon,
-
- 004:049 And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the
- sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
-
- 005:001 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O
- Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears
- this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.
-
- 005:002 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
-
- 005:003 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us,
- even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
-
- 005:004 The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the
- midst of the fire,
-
- 005:005 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you
- the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the
- fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,
-
- 005:006 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of
- Egypt, from the house of bondage.
-
- 005:007 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
-
- 005:008 Thou shalt not make 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 waters beneath the earth:
-
- 005:009 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto 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,
-
- 005:010 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep
- my commandments.
-
- 005:011 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.
-
- 005:012 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath
- commanded thee.
-
- 005:013 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
-
- 005:014 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, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine
- ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger
- that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy
- maidservant may rest as well as thou.
-
- 005:015 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt,
- and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a
- mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy
- God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
-
- 005:016 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath
- commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it
- may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God
- giveth thee.
-
- 005:017 Thou shalt not kill.
-
- 005:018 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
-
- 005:019 Neither shalt thou steal.
-
- 005:020 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
-
- 005:021 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt
- thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his
- manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any
- thing that is thy neighbour's.
-
- 005:022 These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount
- out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick
- darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he
- wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.
-
- 005:023 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst
- of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that
- ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and
- your elders;
-
- 005:024 And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shewed us his glory
- and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the
- midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk
- with man, and he liveth.
-
- 005:025 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will
- consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more,
- then we shall die.
-
- 005:026 For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of
- the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we
- have, and lived?
-
- 005:027 Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say:
- and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak
- unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
-
- 005:028 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto
- me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the
- words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they
- have well said all that they have spoken.
-
- 005:029 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear
- me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well
- with them, and with their children for ever!
-
- 005:030 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
-
- 005:031 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto
- thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the
- judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them
- in the land which I give them to possess it.
-
- 005:032 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath
- commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to
- the left.
-
- 005:033 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath
- commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with
- you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye
- shall possess.
-
- 006:001 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the
- judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you,
- that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
-
- 006:002 That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his
- statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and
- thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that
- thy days may be prolonged.
-
- 006:003 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be
- well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD
- God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that
- floweth with milk and honey.
-
- 006:004 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
-
- 006:005 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and
- with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
-
- 006:006 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in
- thine heart:
-
- 006:007 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and
- shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when
- thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when
- thou risest up.
-
- 006:008 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they
- shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
-
- 006:009 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on
- thy gates.
-
- 006:010 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee
- into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to
- Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities,
- which thou buildedst not,
-
- 006:011 And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not,
- and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive
- trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten
- and be full;
-
- 006:012 Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee
- forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
-
- 006:013 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt
- swear by his name.
-
- 006:014 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people
- which are round about you;
-
- 006:015 (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the
- anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy
- thee from off the face of the earth.
-
- 006:016 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in
- Massah.
-
- 006:017 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your
- God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath
- commanded thee.
-
- 006:018 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of
- the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest
- go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy
- fathers.
-
- 006:019 To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD
- hath spoken.
-
- 006:020 And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What
- mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments,
- which the LORD our God hath commanded you?
-
- 006:021 Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in
- Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty
- hand:
-
- 006:022 And the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon
- Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our
- eyes:
-
- 006:023 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in,
- to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
-
- 006:024 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear
- the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve
- us alive, as it is at this day.
-
- 006:025 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all
- these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath
- commanded us.
-
- 007:001 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither
- thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations
- before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the
- Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the
- Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier
- than thou;
-
- 007:002 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou
- shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no
- covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
-
- 007:003 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou
- shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take
- unto thy son.
-
- 007:004 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they
- may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled
- against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
-
- 007:005 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their
- altars, and break down their images, and cut down their
- groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
-
- 007:006 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD
- thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself,
- above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
-
- 007:007 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you,
- because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were
- the fewest of all people:
-
- 007:008 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the
- oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD
- brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of
- the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
-
- 007:009 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful
- God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him
- and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
-
- 007:010 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy
- them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will
- repay him to his face.
-
- 007:011 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes,
- and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
-
- 007:012 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these
- judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall
- keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto
- thy fathers:
-
- 007:013 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he
- will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy
- land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of
- thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he
- sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
-
- 007:014 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be
- male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
-
- 007:015 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will
- put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest,
- upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
-
- 007:016 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God
- shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them:
- neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare
- unto thee.
-
- 007:017 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than
- I; how can I dispossess them?
-
- 007:018 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what
- the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
-
- 007:019 The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and
- the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm,
- whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD
- thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
-
- 007:020 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them,
- until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be
- destroyed.
-
- 007:021 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is
- among you, a mighty God and terrible.
-
- 007:022 And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by
- little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest
- the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
-
- 007:023 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall
- destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be
- destroyed.
-
- 007:024 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou
- shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man
- be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
-
- 007:025 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou
- shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take
- it unto thee, lest thou be snared therin: for it is an
- abomination to the LORD thy God.
-
- 007:026 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest
- thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest
- it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
-
- 008:001 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye
- observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and
- possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.
-
- 008:002 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led
- thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and
- to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou
- wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
-
- 008:003 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee
- with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers
- know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by
- bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth
- of the LORD doth man live.
-
- 008:004 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot
- swell, these forty years.
-
- 008:005 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man
- chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
-
- 008:006 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy
- God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
-
- 008:007 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of
- brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of
- valleys and hills;
-
- 008:008 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and
- pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
-
- 008:009 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou
- shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron,
- and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
-
- 008:010 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the
- LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
-
- 008:011 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping
- his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I
- command thee this day:
-
- 008:012 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly
- houses, and dwelt therein;
-
- 008:013 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and
- thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
-
- 008:014 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy
- God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from
- the house of bondage;
-
- 008:015 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness,
- wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where
- there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the
- rock of flint;
-
- 008:016 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers
- knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove
- thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
-
- 008:017 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine
- hand hath gotten me this wealth.
-
- 008:018 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that
- giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his
- covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
-
- 008:019 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God,
- and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I
- testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
-
- 008:020 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so
- shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the
- voice of the LORD your God.
-
- 009:001 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go
- in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself,
- cities great and fenced up to heaven,
-
- 009:002 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom
- thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand
- before the children of Anak!
-
- 009:003 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he
- which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall
- destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so
- shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the
- LORD hath said unto thee.
-
- 009:004 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God
- hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my
- righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this
- land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth
- drive them out from before thee.
-
- 009:005 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine
- heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the
- wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them
- out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which
- the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
-
- 009:006 Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not
- this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou
- art a stiffnecked people.
-
- 009:007 Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God
- to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst
- depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this
- place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.
-
- 009:008 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD
- was angry with you to have destroyed you.
-
- 009:009 When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of
- stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made
- with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty
- nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
-
- 009:010 And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written
- with the finger of God; and on them was written according to
- all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out
- of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
-
- 009:011 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights,
- that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables
- of the covenant.
-
- 009:012 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from
- hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of
- Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside
- out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a
- molten image.
-
- 009:013 Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this
- people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
-
- 009:014 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name
- from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier
- and greater than they.
-
- 009:015 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned
- with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two
- hands.
-
- 009:016 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your
- God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside
- quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
-
- 009:017 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands,
- and brake them before your eyes.
-
- 009:018 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days
- and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water,
- because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in
- the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
-
- 009:019 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith
- the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD
- hearkened unto me at that time also.
-
- 009:020 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him:
- and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
-
- 009:021 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it
- with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even
- until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof
- into the brook that descended out of the mount.
-
- 009:022 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye
- provoked the LORD to wrath.
-
- 009:023 Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go
- up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye
- rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye
- believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
-
- 009:024 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I
- knew you.
-
- 009:025 Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights,
- as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he
- would destroy you.
-
- 009:026 I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD,
- destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast
- redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth
- out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
-
- 009:027 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not
- unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness,
- nor to their sin:
-
- 009:028 Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the
- LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he
- promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them
- out to slay them in the wilderness.
-
- 009:029 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou
- broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out
- arm.
-
- 010:001 At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of
- stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount,
- and make thee an ark of wood.
-
- 010:002 And I will write on the tables the words that were in the
- first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in
- the ark.
-
- 010:003 And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of
- stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having
- the two tables in mine hand.
-
- 010:004 And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing,
- the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the
- mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly:
- and the LORD gave them unto me.
-
- 010:005 And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the
- tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the
- LORD commanded me.
-
- 010:006 And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of
- the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there
- he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's
- office in his stead.
-
- 010:007 From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to
- Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.
-
- 010:008 At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the
- ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to
- minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.
-
- 010:009 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren;
- the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God
- promised him.
-
- 010:010 And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty
- days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that
- time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee.
-
- 010:011 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the
- people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I
- sware unto their fathers to give unto them.
-
- 010:012 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee,
- but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to
- love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and
- with all thy soul,
-
- 010:013 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which
- I command thee this day for thy good?
-
- 010:014 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy
- God, the earth also, with all that therein is.
-
- 010:015 Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and
- he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as
- it is this day.
-
- 010:016 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no
- more stiffnecked.
-
- 010:017 For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a
- great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not
- persons, nor taketh reward:
-
- 010:018 He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and
- loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
-
- 010:019 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the
- land of Egypt.
-
- 010:020 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to
- him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
-
- 010:021 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee
- these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
-
- 010:022 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten
- persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars
- of heaven for multitude.
-
- 011:001 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his
- charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his
- commandments, alway.
-
- 011:002 And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which
- have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of
- the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his
- stretched out arm,
-
- 011:003 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of
- Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
-
- 011:004 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and
- to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to
- overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath
- destroyed them unto this day;
-
- 011:005 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into
- this place;
-
- 011:006 And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the
- son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed
- them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the
- substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all
- Israel:
-
- 011:007 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which
- he did.
-
- 011:008 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command
- you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the
- land, whither ye go to possess it;
-
- 011:009 And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD
- sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a
- land that floweth with milk and honey.
-
- 011:010 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as
- the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst
- thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of
- herbs:
-
- 011:011 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills
- and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
-
- 011:012 A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD
- thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year
- even unto the end of the year.
-
- 011:013 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto
- my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD
- your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all
- your soul,
-
- 011:014 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season,
- the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in
- thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
-
- 011:015 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou
- mayest eat and be full.
-
- 011:016 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and
- ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
-
- 011:017 And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut
- up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield
- not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good
- land which the LORD giveth you.
-
- 011:018 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in
- your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they
- may be as frontlets between your eyes.
-
- 011:019 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when
- thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way,
- when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
-
- 011:020 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house,
- and upon thy gates:
-
- 011:021 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your
- children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers
- to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
-
- 011:022 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I
- command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in
- all his ways, and to cleave unto him;
-
- 011:023 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before
- you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than
- yourselves.
-
- 011:024 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall
- be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the
- river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast
- be.
-
- 011:025 There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD
- your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon
- all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto
- you.
-
- 011:026 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
-
- 011:027 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God,
- which I command you this day:
-
- 011:028 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD
- your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you
- this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
-
- 011:029 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought
- thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that
- thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse
- upon mount Ebal.
-
- 011:030 Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the
- sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in
- the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?
-
- 011:031 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land
- which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it,
- and dwell therein.
-
- 011:032 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments
- which I set before you this day.
-
- 012:001 These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe
- to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth
- thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
-
- 012:002 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations
- which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high
- mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
-
- 012:003 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars,
- and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the
- graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out
- of that place.
-
- 012:004 Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
-
- 012:005 But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of
- all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his
- habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
-
- 012:006 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your
- sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand,
- and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings
- of your herds and of your flocks:
-
- 012:007 And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall
- rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your
- households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.
-
- 012:008 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day,
- every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
-
- 012:009 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance,
- which the LORD your God giveth you.
-
- 012:010 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the
- LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you
- rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in
- safety;
-
- 012:011 Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall
- choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye
- bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your
- sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand,
- and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:
-
- 012:012 And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your
- sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your
- maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates;
- forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
-
- 012:013 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings
- in every place that thou seest:
-
- 012:014 But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy
- tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there
- thou shalt do all that I command thee.
-
- 012:015 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy
- gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the
- blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the
- unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and
- as of the hart.
-
- 012:016 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the
- earth as water.
-
- 012:017 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or
- of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or
- of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy
- freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
-
- 012:018 But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place
- which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and
- thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the
- Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before
- the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.
-
- 012:019 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long
- as thou livest upon the earth.
-
- 012:020 When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath
- promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because
- thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh,
- whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
-
- 012:021 If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his
- name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy
- herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I
- have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates
- whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
-
- 012:022 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat
- them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.
-
- 012:023 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the
- life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
-
- 012:024 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as
- water.
-
- 012:025 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with
- thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is
- right in the sight of the LORD.
-
- 012:026 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt
- take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:
-
- 012:027 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the
- blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of
- thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD
- thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.
-
- 012:028 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it
- may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for
- ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the
- sight of the LORD thy God.
-
- 012:029 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before
- thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest
- them, and dwellest in their land;
-
- 012:030 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following
- them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that
- thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these
- nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
-
- 012:031 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every
- abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto
- their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have
- burnt in the fire to their gods.
-
- 012:032 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt
- not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
-
- 013:001 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams,
- and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
-
- 013:002 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto
- thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not
- known, and let us serve them;
-
- 013:003 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that
- dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know
- whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with
- all your soul.
-
- 013:004 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep
- his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him,
- and cleave unto him.
-
- 013:005 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to
- death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD
- your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and
- redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out
- of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in.
- So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
-
- 013:006 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy
- daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as
- thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and
- serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy
- fathers;
-
- 013:007 Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you,
- nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the
- earth even unto the other end of the earth;
-
- 013:008 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither
- shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither
- shalt thou conceal him:
-
- 013:009 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon
- him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the
- people.
-
- 013:010 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he
- hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which
- brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of
- bondage.
-
- 013:011 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any
- such wickedness as this is among you.
-
- 013:012 If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD
- thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,
-
- 013:013 Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among
- you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying,
- Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;
-
- 013:014 Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently;
- and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such
- abomination is wrought among you;
-
- 013:015 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the
- edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is
- therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.
-
- 013:016 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of
- the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all
- the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it
- shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.
-
- 013:017 And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine
- hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger,
- and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and
- multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;
-
- 013:018 When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to
- keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do
- that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.
-
- 014:001 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut
- yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the
- dead.
-
- 014:002 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the
- LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself,
- above all the nations that are upon the earth.
-
- 014:003 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
-
- 014:004 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep,
- and the goat,
-
- 014:005 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild
- goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
-
- 014:006 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft
- into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye
- shall eat.
-
- 014:007 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud,
- or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the
- hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the
- hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.
-
- 014:008 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not
- the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their
- flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.
-
- 014:009 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that
- have fins and scales shall ye eat:
-
- 014:010 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is
- unclean unto you.
-
- 014:011 Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
-
- 014:012 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and
- the ossifrage, and the ospray,
-
- 014:013 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
-
- 014:014 And every raven after his kind,
-
- 014:015 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk
- after his kind,
-
- 014:016 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
-
- 014:017 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
-
- 014:018 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing,
- and the bat.
-
- 014:019 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they
- shall not be eaten.
-
- 014:020 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
-
- 014:021 Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: thou shalt
- give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may
- eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an
- holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid
- in his mother's milk.
-
- 014:022 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the
- field bringeth forth year by year.
-
- 014:023 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which
- he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy
- corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy
- herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the
- LORD thy God always.
-
- 014:024 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able
- to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the
- LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD
- thy God hath blessed thee:
-
- 014:025 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in
- thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God
- shall choose:
-
- 014:026 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul
- lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for
- strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou
- shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt
- rejoice, thou, and thine household,
-
- 014:027 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not
- forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
-
- 014:028 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe
- of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within
- thy gates:
-
- 014:029 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with
- thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow,
- which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be
- satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the
- work of thine hand which thou doest.
-
- 015:001 At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
-
- 015:002 And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that
- lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall
- not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it
- is called the LORD's release.
-
- 015:003 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is
- thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
-
- 015:004 Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall
- greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth
- thee for an inheritance to possess it:
-
- 015:005 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy
- God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command
- thee this day.
-
- 015:006 For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and
- thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow;
- and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not
- reign over thee.
-
- 015:007 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within
- any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth
- thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand
- from thy poor brother:
-
- 015:008 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely
- lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
-
- 015:009 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart,
- saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and
- thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest
- him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be
- sin unto thee.
-
- 015:010 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be
- grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing
- the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all
- that thou puttest thine hand unto.
-
- 015:011 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I
- command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy
- brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
-
- 015:012 And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold
- unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year
- thou shalt let him go free from thee.
-
- 015:013 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not
- let him go away empty:
-
- 015:014 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of
- thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the
- LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.
-
- 015:015 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land
- of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I
- command thee this thing to day.
-
- 015:016 And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from
- thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is
- well with thee;
-
- 015:017 Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear
- unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also
- unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.
-
- 015:018 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away
- free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant
- to thee, in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall
- bless thee in all that thou doest.
-
- 015:019 All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock
- thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no
- work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the
- firstling of thy sheep.
-
- 015:020 Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the
- place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.
-
- 015:021 And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or
- blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it
- unto the LORD thy God.
-
- 015:022 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean
- person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
-
- 015:023 Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it
- upon the ground as water.
-
- 016:001 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD
- thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought
- thee forth out of Egypt by night.
-
- 016:002 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy
- God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD
- shall choose to place his name there.
-
- 016:003 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt
- thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of
- affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in
- haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest
- forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
-
- 016:004 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy
- coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh,
- which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all
- night until the morning.
-
- 016:005 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy
- gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:
-
- 016:006 But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place
- his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even,
- at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest
- forth out of Egypt.
-
- 016:007 And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD
- thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and
- go unto thy tents.
-
- 016:008 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh
- day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt
- do no work therein.
-
- 016:009 Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the
- seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle
- to the corn.
-
- 016:010 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God
- with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which
- thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD
- thy God hath blessed thee:
-
- 016:011 And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy
- son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy
- maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the
- stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among
- you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place
- his name there.
-
- 016:012 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and
- thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
-
- 016:013 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after
- that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
-
- 016:014 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and
- thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the
- Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that
- are within thy gates.
-
- 016:015 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy
- God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD
- thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the
- works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
-
- 016:016 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the
- LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast
- of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the
- feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the
- LORD empty:
-
- 016:017 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing
- of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
-
- 016:018 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates,
- which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and
- they shall judge the people with just judgment.
-
- 016:019 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons,
- neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the
- wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
-
- 016:020 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou
- mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God
- giveth thee.
-
- 016:021 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the
- altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.
-
- 016:022 Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy
- God hateth.
-
- 017:001 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or
- sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for that
- is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
-
- 017:002 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the
- LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought
- wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing
- his covenant,
-
- 017:003 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them,
- either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I
- have not commanded;
-
- 017:004 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired
- diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain,
- that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
-
- 017:005 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have
- committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or
- that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
-
- 017:006 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he
- that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of
- one witness he shall not be put to death.
-
- 017:007 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him
- to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou
- shalt put the evil away from among you.
-
- 017:008 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between
- blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and
- stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then
- shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the
- LORD thy God shall choose;
-
- 017:009 And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the
- judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall
- shew thee the sentence of judgment:
-
- 017:010 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of
- that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and
- thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform
- thee:
-
- 017:011 According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach
- thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell
- thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence
- which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the
- left.
-
- 017:012 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken
- unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the
- LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and
- thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.
-
- 017:013 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more
- presumptuously.
-
- 017:014 When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth
- thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt
- say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that
- are about me;
-
- 017:015 Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD
- thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou
- set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee,
- which is not thy brother.
-
- 017:016 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the
- people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply
- horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall
- henceforth return no more that way.
-
- 017:017 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart
- turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself
- silver and gold.
-
- 017:018 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his
- kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book
- out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
-
- 017:019 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the
- days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God,
- to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do
- them:
-
- 017:020 That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that
- he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or
- to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his
- kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
-
- 018:001 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have
- no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the
- offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
-
- 018:002 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren:
- the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
-
- 018:003 And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them
- that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they
- shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks,
- and the maw.
-
- 018:004 The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine
- oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give
- him.
-
- 018:005 For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to
- stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons
- for ever.
-
- 018:006 And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel,
- where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind
- unto the place which the LORD shall choose;
-
- 018:007 Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all
- his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the
- LORD.
-
- 018:008 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh
- of the sale of his patrimony.
-
- 018:009 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth
- thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of
- those nations.
-
- 018:010 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son
- or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth
- divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a
- witch.
-
- 018:011 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a
- wizard, or a necromancer.
-
- 018:012 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD:
- and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive
- them out from before thee.
-
- 018:013 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
-
- 018:014 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto
- observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the
- LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
-
- 018:015 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the
- midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye
- shall hearken;
-
- 018:016 According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in
- Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear
- again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this
- great fire any more, that I die not.
-
- 018:017 And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which
- they have spoken.
-
- 018:018 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like
- unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall
- speak unto them all that I shall command him.
-
- 018:019 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken
- unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require
- it of him.
-
- 018:020 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my
- name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall
- speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
-
- 018:021 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word
- which the LORD hath not spoken?
-
- 018:022 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing
- follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD
- hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it
- presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
-
- 019:001 When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the
- LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and
- dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;
-
- 019:002 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy
- land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
-
- 019:003 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy
- land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into
- three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.
-
- 019:004 And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither,
- that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom
- he hated not in time past;
-
- 019:005 As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew
- wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down
- the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth
- upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of
- those cities, and live:
-
- 019:006 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his
- heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and
- slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he
- hated him not in time past.
-
- 019:007 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three
- cities for thee.
-
- 019:008 And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn
- unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised
- to give unto thy fathers;
-
- 019:009 If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I
- command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk
- ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for
- thee, beside these three:
-
- 019:010 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD
- thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon
- thee.
-
- 019:011 But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him,
- and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die,
- and fleeth into one of these cities:
-
- 019:012 Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence,
- and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he
- may die.
-
- 019:013 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the
- guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with
- thee.
-
- 019:014 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of
- old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt
- inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to
- possess it.
-
- 019:015 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity,
- or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of
- two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the
- matter be established.
-
- 019:016 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against
- him that which is wrong;
-
- 019:017 Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall
- stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges,
- which shall be in those days;
-
- 019:018 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold,
- if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely
- against his brother;
-
- 019:019 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto
- his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
-
- 019:020 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall
- henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
-
- 019:021 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye
- for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
-
- 020:001 When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest
- horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not
- afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which
- brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
-
- 020:002 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that
- the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
-
- 020:003 And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day
- unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint,
- fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because
- of them;
-
- 020:004 For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for
- you against your enemies, to save you.
-
- 020:005 And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man
- is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated
- it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the
- battle, and another man dedicate it.
-
- 020:006 And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not
- yet eaten of it? let him also go and return unto his house,
- lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.
-
- 020:007 And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not
- taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die
- in the battle, and another man take her.
-
- 020:008 And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they
- shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted?
- let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's
- heart faint as well as his heart.
-
- 020:009 And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of
- speaking unto the people that they shall make captains of the
- armies to lead the people.
-
- 020:010 When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then
- proclaim peace unto it.
-
- 020:011 And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open
- unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found
- therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve
- thee.
-
- 020:012 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war
- against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
-
- 020:013 And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands,
- thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the
- sword:
-
- 020:014 But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all
- that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou
- take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine
- enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
-
- 020:015 Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off
- from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
-
- 020:016 But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth
- give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing
- that breatheth:
-
- 020:017 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and
- the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites,
- and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:
-
- 020:018 That they teach you not to do after all their abominations,
- which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against
- the LORD your God.
-
- 020:019 When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war
- against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees
- thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of
- them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the
- field is man's life) to employ them in the siege:
-
- 020:020 Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for
- meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt
- build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee,
- until it be subdued.
-
- 021:001 If one be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God
- giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not
- known who hath slain him:
-
- 021:002 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they
- shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that
- is slain:
-
- 021:003 And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain
- man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which
- hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the
- yoke;
-
- 021:004 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a
- rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall
- strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley:
-
- 021:005 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the
- LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in
- the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every
- controversy and every stroke be tried:
-
- 021:006 And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain
- man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded
- in the valley:
-
- 021:007 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this
- blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
-
- 021:008 Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast
- redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of
- Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
-
- 021:009 So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among
- you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of
- the LORD.
-
- 021:010 When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the
- LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou
- hast taken them captive,
-
- 021:011 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a
- desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
-
- 021:012 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall
- shave her head, and pare her nails;
-
- 021:013 And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her,
- and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her
- mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her,
- and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
-
- 021:014 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou
- shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her
- at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her,
- because thou hast humbled her.
-
- 021:015 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and
- they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated;
- and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:
-
- 021:016 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that
- which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved
- firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the
- firstborn:
-
- 021:017 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the
- firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath:
- for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the
- firstborn is his.
-
- 021:018 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not
- obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and
- that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto
- them:
-
- 021:019 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and
- bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate
- of his place;
-
- 021:020 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son
- is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is
- a glutton, and a drunkard.
-
- 021:021 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that
- he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all
- Israel shall hear, and fear.
-
- 021:022 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be
- to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:
-
- 021:023 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou
- shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is
- accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD
- thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
-
- 022:001 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray,
- and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them
- again unto thy brother.
-
- 022:002 And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him
- not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it
- shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou
- shalt restore it to him again.
-
- 022:003 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou
- do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's,
- which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do
- likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.
-
- 022:004 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by
- the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help
- him to lift them up again.
-
- 022:005 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man,
- neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do
- so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
-
- 022:006 If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any
- tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs,
- and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou
- shalt not take the dam with the young:
-
- 022:007 But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young
- to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest
- prolong thy days.
-
- 022:008 When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a
- battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine
- house, if any man fall from thence.
-
- 022:009 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the
- fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy
- vineyard, be defiled.
-
- 022:010 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
-
- 022:011 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen
- and linen together.
-
- 022:012 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy
- vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.
-
- 022:013 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
-
- 022:014 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil
- name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to
- her, I found her not a maid:
-
- 022:015 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and
- bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the
- elders of the city in the gate:
-
- 022:016 And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my
- daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
-
- 022:017 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her,
- saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the
- tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the
- cloth before the elders of the city.
-
- 022:018 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise
- him;
-
- 022:019 And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and
- give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath
- brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall
- be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
-
- 022:020 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not
- found for the damsel:
-
- 022:021 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her
- father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with
- stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel,
- to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put
- evil away from among you.
-
- 022:022 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband,
- then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with
- the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from
- Israel.
-
- 022:023 If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and
- a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
-
- 022:024 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city,
- and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel,
- because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because
- he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away
- evil from among you.
-
- 022:025 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man
- force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with
- her shall die.
-
- 022:026 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the
- damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth
- against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this
- matter:
-
- 022:027 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried,
- and there was none to save her.
-
- 022:028 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not
- betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be
- found;
-
- 022:029 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's
- father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife;
- because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his
- days.
-
- 022:030 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his
- father's skirt.
-
- 023:001 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut
- off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
-
- 023:002 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD;
- even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the
- congregation of the LORD.
-
- 023:003 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation
- of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not
- enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
-
- 023:004 Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way,
- when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired
- against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia,
- to curse thee.
-
- 023:005 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam;
- but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto
- thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.
-
- 023:006 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy
- days for ever.
-
- 023:007 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou
- shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in
- his land.
-
- 023:008 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the
- congregation of the LORD in their third generation.
-
- 023:009 When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep
- thee from every wicked thing.
-
- 023:010 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of
- uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go
- abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
-
- 023:011 But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself
- with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the
- camp again.
-
- 023:012 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou
- shalt go forth abroad:
-
- 023:013 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be,
- when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith,
- and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
-
- 023:014 For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to
- deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee;
- therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing
- in thee, and turn away from thee.
-
- 023:015 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is
- escaped from his master unto thee:
-
- 023:016 He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which
- he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best:
- thou shalt not oppress him.
-
- 023:017 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a
- sodomite of the sons of Israel.
-
- 023:018 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a
- dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even
- both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
-
- 023:019 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money,
- usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
-
- 023:020 Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy
- brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God
- may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the
- land whither thou goest to possess it.
-
- 023:021 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt
- not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require
- it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
-
- 023:022 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
-
- 023:023 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and
- perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast
- vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy
- mouth.
-
- 023:024 When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou
- mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou
- shalt not put any in thy vessel.
-
- 023:025 When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then
- thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not
- move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.
-
- 024:001 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to
- pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath
- found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill
- of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of
- his house.
-
- 024:002 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be
- another man's wife.
-
- 024:003 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of
- divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of
- his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be
- his wife;
-
- 024:004 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her
- again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is
- abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land
- to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
-
- 024:005 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war,
- neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be
- free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he
- hath taken.
-
- 024:006 No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge:
- for he taketh a man's life to pledge.
-
- 024:007 If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children
- of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then
- that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among
- you.
-
- 024:008 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe
- diligently, and do according to all that the priests the
- Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall
- observe to do.
-
- 024:009 Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way,
- after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
-
- 024:010 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go
- into his house to fetch his pledge.
-
- 024:011 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend
- shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
-
- 024:012 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
-
- 024:013 In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the
- sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and
- bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the
- LORD thy God.
-
- 024:014 Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and
- needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that
- are in thy land within thy gates:
-
- 024:015 At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun
- go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon
- it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto
- thee.
-
- 024:016 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children,
- neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers:
- every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
-
- 024:017 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of
- the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
-
- 024:018 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and
- the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command
- thee to do this thing.
-
- 024:019 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast
- forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch
- it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for
- the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the
- work of thine hands.
-
- 024:020 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the
- boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the
- fatherless, and for the widow.
-
- 024:021 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not
- glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the
- fatherless, and for the widow.
-
- 024:022 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land
- of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
-
- 025:001 If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto
- judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall
- justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
-
- 025:002 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten,
- that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten
- before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.
-
- 025:003 Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he
- should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes,
- then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.
-
- 025:004 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.
-
- 025:005 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no
- child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a
- stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take
- her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's
- brother unto her.
-
- 025:006 And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall
- succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his
- name be not put out of Israel.
-
- 025:007 And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let
- his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say,
- My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a
- name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's
- brother.
-
- 025:008 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto
- him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her;
-
- 025:009 Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of
- the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in
- his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto
- that man that will not build up his brother's house.
-
- 025:010 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that
- hath his shoe loosed.
-
- 025:011 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the
- one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of
- him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh
- him by the secrets:
-
- 025:012 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity
- her.
-
- 025:013 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a
- small.
-
- 025:014 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great
- and a small.
-
- 025:015 But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and
- just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened
- in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
-
- 025:016 For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously,
- are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
-
- 025:017 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were
- come forth out of Egypt;
-
- 025:018 How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee,
- even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint
- and weary; and he feared not God.
-
- 025:019 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee
- rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the
- LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it,
- that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under
- heaven; thou shalt not forget it.
-
- 026:001 And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the
- LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest
- it, and dwellest therein;
-
- 026:002 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the
- earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy
- God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go
- unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place
- his name there.
-
- 026:003 And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days,
- and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God,
- that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our
- fathers for to give us.
-
- 026:004 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and
- set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.
-
- 026:005 And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian
- ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt,
- and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation,
- great, mighty, and populous:
-
- 026:006 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and
- laid upon us hard bondage:
-
- 026:007 And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD
- heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour,
- and our oppression:
-
- 026:008 And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand,
- and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and
- with signs, and with wonders:
-
- 026:009 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this
- land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.
-
- 026:010 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land,
- which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it
- before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God:
-
- 026:011 And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the LORD thy
- God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the
- Levite, and the stranger that is among you.
-
- 026:012 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine
- increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and
- hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless,
- and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be
- filled;
-
- 026:013 Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought
- away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have
- given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the
- fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy
- commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not
- transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
-
- 026:014 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken
- away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought
- thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the
- LORD my God, and have done according to all that thou hast
- commanded me.
-
- 026:015 Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy
- people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou
- swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and
- honey.
-
- 026:016 This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these
- statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them
- with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
-
- 026:017 Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to
- walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his
- commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his
- voice:
-
- 026:018 And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar
- people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep
- all his commandments;
-
- 026:019 And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in
- praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an
- holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.
-
- 027:001 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people,
- saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this
- day.
-
- 027:002 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto
- the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt
- set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister:
-
- 027:003 And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when
- thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land
- which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with
- milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised
- thee.
-
- 027:004 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye
- shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in
- mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister.
-
- 027:005 And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an
- altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon
- them.
-
- 027:006 Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole
- stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the
- LORD thy God:
-
- 027:007 And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and
- rejoice before the LORD thy God.
-
- 027:008 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law
- very plainly.
-
- 027:009 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel,
- saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art
- become the people of the LORD thy God.
-
- 027:010 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and
- do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee
- this day.
-
- 027:011 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
-
- 027:012 These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when
- ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and
- Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:
-
- 027:013 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad,
- and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
-
- 027:014 And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of
- Israel with a loud voice,
-
- 027:015 Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an
- abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the
- craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the
- people shall answer and say, Amen.
-
- 027:016 Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother.
- And all the people shall say, Amen.
-
- 027:017 Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all
- the people shall say, Amen.
-
- 027:018 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way.
- And all the people shall say, Amen.
-
- 027:019 Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger,
- fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.
-
- 027:020 Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he
- uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say,
- Amen.
-
- 027:021 Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the
- people shall say, Amen.
-
- 027:022 Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his
- father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people
- shall say, Amen.
-
- 027:023 Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the
- people shall say, Amen.
-
- 027:024 Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the
- people shall say, Amen.
-
- 027:025 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person.
- And all the people shall say, Amen.
-
- 027:026 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to
- do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
-
- 028:001 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently
- unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all
- his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD
- thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
-
- 028:002 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee,
- if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
-
- 028:003 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be
- in the field.
-
- 028:004 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy
- ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine,
- and the flocks of thy sheep.
-
- 028:005 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
-
- 028:006 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt
- thou be when thou goest out.
-
- 028:007 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee
- to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against
- thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
-
- 028:008 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy
- storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and
- he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth
- thee.
-
- 028:009 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as
- he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments
- of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
-
- 028:010 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by
- the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
-
- 028:011 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit
- of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit
- of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy
- fathers to give thee.
-
- 028:012 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to
- give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all
- the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations,
- and thou shalt not borrow.
-
- 028:013 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and
- thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if
- that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God,
- which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
-
- 028:014 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I
- command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to
- go after other gods to serve them.
-
- 028:015 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the
- voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his
- commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day;
- that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
-
- 028:016 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in
- the field.
-
- 028:017 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
-
- 028:018 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy
- land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
-
- 028:019 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt
- thou be when thou goest out.
-
- 028:020 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke,
- in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou
- be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the
- wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
-
- 028:021 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he
- have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to
- possess it.
-
- 028:022 The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a
- fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning,
- and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and
- they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
-
- 028:023 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the
- earth that is under thee shall be iron.
-
- 028:024 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from
- heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
-
- 028:025 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies:
- thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways
- before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the
- earth.
-
- 028:026 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and
- unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.
-
- 028:027 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the
- emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou
- canst not be healed.
-
- 028:028 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and
- astonishment of heart:
-
- 028:029 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in
- darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou
- shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall
- save thee.
-
- 028:030 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her:
- thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein:
- thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes
- thereof.
-
- 028:031 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not
- eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from
- before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep
- shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to
- rescue them.
-
- 028:032 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people,
- and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all
- the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand.
-
- 028:033 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation
- which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only
- oppressed and crushed alway:
-
- 028:034 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which
- thou shalt see.
-
- 028:035 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with
- a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot
- unto the top of thy head.
-
- 028:036 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set
- over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers
- have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and
- stone.
-
- 028:037 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a
- byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
-
- 028:038 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt
- gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
-
- 028:039 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither
- drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall
- eat them.
-
- 028:040 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but
- thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive
- shall cast his fruit.
-
- 028:041 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy
- them; for they shall go into captivity.
-
- 028:042 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
-
- 028:043 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very
- high; and thou shalt come down very low.
-
- 028:044 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he
- shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
-
- 028:045 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall
- pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed;
- because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy
- God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he
- commanded thee:
-
- 028:046 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and
- upon thy seed for ever.
-
- 028:047 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness,
- and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
-
- 028:048 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall
- send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness,
- and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron
- upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
-
- 028:049 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the
- end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose
- tongue thou shalt not understand;
-
- 028:050 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the
- person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:
-
- 028:051 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy
- land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee
- either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or
- flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
-
- 028:052 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and
- fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all
- thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates
- throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given
- thee.
-
- 028:053 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of
- thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath
- given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith
- thine enemies shall distress thee:
-
- 028:054 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate,
- his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife
- of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he
- shall leave:
-
- 028:055 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his
- children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him
- in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies
- shall distress thee in all thy gates.
-
- 028:056 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not
- adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for
- delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the
- husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her
- daughter,
-
- 028:057 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her
- feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she
- shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege
- and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in
- thy gates.
-
- 028:058 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that
- are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious
- and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
-
- 028:059 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues
- of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and
- sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
-
- 028:060 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt,
- which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
-
- 028:061 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in
- the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee,
- until thou be destroyed.
-
- 028:062 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the
- stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey
- the voice of the LORD thy God.
-
- 028:063 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you
- to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice
- over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye
- shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to
- possess it.
-
- 028:064 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one
- end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt
- serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have
- known, even wood and stone.
-
- 028:065 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall
- the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee
- there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of
- mind:
-
- 028:066 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt
- fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
-
- 028:067 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at
- even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear
- of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of
- thine eyes which thou shalt see.
-
- 028:068 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by
- the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more
- again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for
- bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
-
- 029:001 These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded
- Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab,
- beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
-
- 029:002 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have
- seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of
- Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all
- his land;
-
- 029:003 The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs,
- and those great miracles:
-
- 029:004 Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes
- to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
-
- 029:005 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes
- are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon
- thy foot.
-
- 029:006 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong
- drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.
-
- 029:007 And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon,
- and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle,
- and we smote them:
-
- 029:008 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto
- the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of
- Manasseh.
-
- 029:009 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that
- ye may prosper in all that ye do.
-
- 029:010 Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your
- captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with
- all the men of Israel,
-
- 029:011 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy
- camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
-
- 029:012 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God,
- and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee
- this day:
-
- 029:013 That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself,
- and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee,
- and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac,
- and to Jacob.
-
- 029:014 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
-
- 029:015 But with him that standeth here with us this day before the
- LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this
- day:
-
- 029:016 (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how
- we came through the nations which ye passed by;
-
- 029:017 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and
- stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)
-
- 029:018 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or
- tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our
- God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there
- should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
-
- 029:019 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse,
- that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have
- peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add
- drunkenness to thirst:
-
- 029:020 The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD
- and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the
- curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and
- the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.
-
- 029:021 And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the
- tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant
- that are written in this book of the law:
-
- 029:022 So that the generation to come of your children that shall
- rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far
- land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and
- the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;
-
- 029:023 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and
- burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass
- groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah,
- Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and
- in his wrath:
-
- 029:024 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus
- unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
-
- 029:025 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of
- the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he
- brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
-
- 029:026 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods
- whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
-
- 029:027 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to
- bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
-
- 029:028 And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in
- wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another
- land, as it is this day.
-
- 029:029 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those
- things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children
- for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
-
- 030:001 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon
- thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before
- thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations,
- whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
-
- 030:002 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his
- voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and
- thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
-
- 030:003 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have
- compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all
- the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
-
- 030:004 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of
- heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and
- from thence will he fetch thee:
-
- 030:005 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy
- fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do
- thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
-
- 030:006 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the
- heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine
- heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
-
- 030:007 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine
- enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
-
- 030:008 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do
- all his commandments which I command thee this day.
-
- 030:009 And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of
- thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy
- cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD
- will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy
- fathers:
-
- 030:010 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to
- keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in
- this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God
- with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
-
- 030:011 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not
- hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
-
- 030:012 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up
- for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it,
- and do it?
-
- 030:013 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who
- shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we
- may hear it, and do it?
-
- 030:014 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy
- heart, that thou mayest do it.
-
- 030:015 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death
- and evil;
-
- 030:016 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to
- walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his
- statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and
- multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land
- whither thou goest to possess it.
-
- 030:017 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but
- shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
-
- 030:018 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and
- that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither
- thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
-
- 030:019 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I
- have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing:
- therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
-
- 030:020 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest
- obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he
- is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest
- dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to
- Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
-
- 031:001 And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.
-
- 031:002 And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old
- this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath
- said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
-
- 031:003 The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will
- destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess
- them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD
- hath said.
-
- 031:004 And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og,
- kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he
- destroyed.
-
- 031:005 And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may
- do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have
- commanded you.
-
- 031:006 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of
- them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee;
- he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
-
- 031:007 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight
- of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must
- go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn
- unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to
- inherit it.
-
- 031:008 And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be
- with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear
- not, neither be dismayed.
-
- 031:009 And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests
- the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the
- LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel.
-
- 031:010 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven
- years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast
- of tabernacles,
-
- 031:011 When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in
- the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law
- before all Israel in their hearing.
-
- 031:012 Gather the people together, men and women, and children, and
- thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and
- that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe
- to do all the words of this law:
-
- 031:013 And that their children, which have not known any thing, may
- hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live
- in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
-
- 031:014 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that
- thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the
- tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge.
- And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the
- tabernacle of the congregation.
-
- 031:015 And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a
- cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the
- tabernacle.
-
- 031:016 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with
- thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring
- after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go
- to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant
- which I have made with them.
-
- 031:017 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I
- will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they
- shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall
- them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils
- come upon us, because our God is not among us?
-
- 031:018 And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils
- which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto
- other gods.
-
- 031:019 Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the
- children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may
- be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
-
- 031:020 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware
- unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they
- shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then
- will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke
- me, and break my covenant.
-
- 031:021 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are
- befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a
- witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of
- their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about,
- even now, before I have brought them into the land which I
- sware.
-
- 031:022 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it
- the children of Israel.
-
- 031:023 And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be
- strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the
- children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and
- I will be with thee.
-
- 031:024 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the
- words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
-
- 031:025 That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the
- covenant of the LORD, saying,
-
- 031:026 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark
- of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for
- a witness against thee.
-
- 031:027 For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I
- am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious
- against the LORD; and how much more after my death?
-
- 031:028 Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your
- officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call
- heaven and earth to record against them.
-
- 031:029 For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt
- yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded
- you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye
- will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger
- through the work of your hands.
-
- 031:030 And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel
- the words of this song, until they were ended.
-
- 032:001 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth,
- the words of my mouth.
-
- 032:002 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as
- the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the
- showers upon the grass:
-
- 032:003 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye
- greatness unto our God.
-
- 032:004 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are
- judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right
- is he.
-
- 032:005 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of
- his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
-
- 032:006 Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is
- not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made
- thee, and established thee?
-
- 032:007 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many
- generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy
- elders, and they will tell thee.
-
- 032:008 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance,
- when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the
- people according to the number of the children of Israel.
-
- 032:009 For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his
- inheritance.
-
- 032:010 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling
- wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him
- as the apple of his eye.
-
- 032:011 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young,
- spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her
- wings:
-
- 032:012 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god
- with him.
-
- 032:013 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he
- might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck
- honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
-
- 032:014 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams
- of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of
- wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
-
- 032:015 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou
- art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he
- forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of
- his salvation.
-
- 032:016 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with
- abominations provoked they him to anger.
-
- 032:017 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they
- knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers
- feared not.
-
- 032:018 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast
- forgotten God that formed thee.
-
- 032:019 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the
- provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
-
- 032:020 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what
- their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation,
- children in whom is no faith.
-
- 032:021 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God;
- they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will
- move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I
- will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
-
- 032:022 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the
- lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase,
- and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
-
- 032:023 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon
- them.
-
- 032:024 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning
- heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth
- of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
-
- 032:025 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the
- young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of
- gray hairs.
-
- 032:026 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the
- remembrance of them to cease from among men:
-
- 032:027 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their
- adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they
- should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all
- this.
-
- 032:028 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any
- understanding in them.
-
- 032:029 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they
- would consider their latter end!
-
- 032:030 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to
- flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut
- them up?
-
- 032:031 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves
- being judges.
-
- 032:032 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of
- Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are
- bitter:
-
- 032:033 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of
- asps.
-
- 032:034 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my
- treasures?
-
- 032:035 To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall
- slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand,
- and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
-
- 032:036 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for
- his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and
- there is none shut up, or left.
-
- 032:037 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom
- they trusted,
-
- 032:038 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine
- of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and
- be your protection.
-
- 032:039 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I
- kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there
- any that can deliver out of my hand.
-
- 032:040 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
-
- 032:041 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on
- judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will
- reward them that hate me.
-
- 032:042 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall
- devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the
- captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
-
- 032:043 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the
- blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his
- adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his
- people.
-
- 032:044 And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the
- ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
-
- 032:045 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all
- Israel:
-
- 032:046 And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words
- which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command
- your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
-
- 032:047 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life:
- and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land,
- whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
-
- 032:048 And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,
-
- 032:049 Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which
- is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and
- behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of
- Israel for a possession:
-
- 032:050 And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered
- unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and
- was gathered unto his people:
-
- 032:051 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel
- at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin;
- because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of
- Israel.
-
- 032:052 Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go
- thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
-
- 033:001 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God
- blessed the children of Israel before his death.
-
- 033:002 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir
- unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with
- ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law
- for them.
-
- 033:003 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and
- they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy
- words.
-
- 033:004 Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the
- congregation of Jacob.
-
- 033:005 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and
- the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
-
- 033:006 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.
-
- 033:007 And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD,
- the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his
- hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from
- his enemies.
-
- 033:008 And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy
- holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou
- didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
-
- 033:009 Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen
- him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own
- children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy
- covenant.
-
- 033:010 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they
- shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon
- thine altar.
-
- 033:011 Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands;
- smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of
- them that hate him, that they rise not again.
-
- 033:012 And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell
- in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day
- long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
-
- 033:013 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for
- the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep
- that coucheth beneath,
-
- 033:014 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for
- the precious things put forth by the moon,
-
- 033:015 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the
- precious things of the lasting hills,
-
- 033:016 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof,
- and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the
- blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the
- head of him that was separated from his brethren.
-
- 033:017 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns
- are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the
- people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten
- thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
-
- 033:018 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out;
- and, Issachar, in thy tents.
-
- 033:019 They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall
- offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the
- abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.
-
- 033:020 And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he
- dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the
- head.
-
- 033:021 And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in
- a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the
- heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and
- his judgments with Israel.
-
- 033:022 And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from
- Bashan.
-
- 033:023 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour,
- and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west
- and the south.
-
- 033:024 And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let
- him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in
- oil.
-
- 033:025 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall
- thy strength be.
-
- 033:026 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon
- the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
-
- 033:027 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the
- everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from
- before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
-
- 033:028 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob
- shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall
- drop down dew.
-
- 033:029 Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people
- saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the
- sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found
- liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
-
- 034:001 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of
- Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And
- the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
-
- 034:002 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and
- all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,
-
- 034:003 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the
- city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
-
- 034:004 And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware
- unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give
- it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine
- eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
-
- 034:005 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of
- Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
-
- 034:006 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over
- against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto
- this day.
-
- 034:007 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died:
- his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
-
- 034:008 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of
- Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for
- Moses were ended.
-
- 034:009 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom;
- for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of
- Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded
- Moses.
-
- 034:010 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses,
- whom the LORD knew face to face,
-
- 034:011 In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to
- do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants,
- and to all his land,
-
- 034:012 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which
- Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.
-
- Book 06 Joshua
-
- 001:001 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came
- to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun,
- Moses' minister, saying,
-
- 001:002 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this
- Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do
- give to them, even to the children of Israel.
-
- 001:003 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that
- have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
-
- 001:004 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great
- river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and
- unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be
- your coast.
-
- 001:005 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the
- days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee:
- I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
-
- 001:006 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt
- thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto
- their fathers to give them.
-
- 001:007 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest
- observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant
- commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the
- left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.
-
- 001:008 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but
- thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest
- observe to do according to all that is written therein: for
- then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt
- have good success.
-
- 001:009 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be
- not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is
- with thee whithersoever thou goest.
-
- 001:010 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
-
- 001:011 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare
- you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this
- Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God
- giveth you to possess it.
-
- 001:012 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the
- tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
-
- 001:013 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD
- commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest,
- and hath given you this land.
-
- 001:014 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in
- the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye
- shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of
- valour, and help them;
-
- 001:015 Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given
- you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your
- God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your
- possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant gave
- you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.
-
- 001:016 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us
- we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
-
- 001:017 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we
- hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he
- was with Moses.
-
- 001:018 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and
- will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest
- him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good
- courage.
-
- 002:001 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy
- secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they
- went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged
- there.
-
- 002:002 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there
- came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to
- search out the country.
-
- 002:003 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth
- the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine
- house: for they be come to search out all the country.
-
- 002:004 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus,
- There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were:
-
- 002:005 And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate,
- when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went
- I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake
- them.
-
- 002:006 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid
- them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon
- the roof.
-
- 002:007 And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the
- fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone
- out, they shut the gate.
-
- 002:008 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the
- roof;
-
- 002:009 And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you
- the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all
- the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
-
- 002:010 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red
- sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto
- the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side
- Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
-
- 002:011 And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt,
- neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because
- of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and
- in earth beneath.
-
- 002:012 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I
- have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto
- my father's house, and give me a true token:
-
- 002:013 And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my
- brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver
- our lives from death.
-
- 002:014 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not
- this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given
- us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
-
- 002:015 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her
- house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
-
- 002:016 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the
- pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until
- the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
-
- 002:017 And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine
- oath which thou hast made us swear.
-
- 002:018 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line
- of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down
- by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy
- brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee.
-
- 002:019 And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of
- thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head,
- and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in
- the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon
- him.
-
- 002:020 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of
- thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
-
- 002:021 And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she
- sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet
- line in the window.
-
- 002:022 And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there
- three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers
- sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.
-
- 002:023 So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and
- passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him
- all things that befell them:
-
- 002:024 And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into
- our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the
- country do faint because of us.
-
- 003:001 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from
- Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of
- Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
-
- 003:002 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went
- through the host;
-
- 003:003 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of
- the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites
- bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after
- it.
-
- 003:004 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two
- thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may
- know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this
- way heretofore.
-
- 003:005 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to
- morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
-
- 003:006 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of
- the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took
- up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
-
- 003:007 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to
- magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know
- that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
-
- 003:008 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the
- covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water
- of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.
-
- 003:009 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and
- hear the words of the LORD your God.
-
- 003:010 And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is
- among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before
- you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the
- Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the
- Jebusites.
-
- 003:011 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth
- passeth over before you into Jordan.
-
- 003:012 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel,
- out of every tribe a man.
-
- 003:013 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of
- the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the LORD of all the
- earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of
- Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from
- above; and they shall stand upon an heap.
-
- 003:014 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents,
- to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the
- covenant before the people;
-
- 003:015 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the
- feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim
- of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the
- time of harvest,)
-
- 003:016 That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up
- upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside
- Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain,
- even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people
- passed over right against Jericho.
-
- 003:017 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD
- stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the
- Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people
- were passed clean over Jordan.
-
- 004:001 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed
- over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
-
- 004:002 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a
- man,
-
- 004:003 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst
- of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood
- firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you,
- and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this
- night.
-
- 004:004 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the
- children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:
-
- 004:005 And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the
- LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every
- man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the
- number of the tribes of the children of Israel:
-
- 004:006 That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask
- their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these
- stones?
-
- 004:007 Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut
- off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed
- over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these
- stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for
- ever.
-
- 004:008 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and
- took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD
- spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of
- the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto
- the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
-
- 004:009 And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the
- place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the
- covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.
-
- 004:010 For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of
- Jordan, until everything was finished that the LORD commanded
- Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses
- commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.
-
- 004:011 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed
- over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests,
- in the presence of the people.
-
- 004:012 And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half
- the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children
- of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:
-
- 004:013 About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the
- LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
-
- 004:014 On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all
- Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the
- days of his life.
-
- 004:015 And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
-
- 004:016 Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that
- they come up out of Jordan.
-
- 004:017 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out
- of Jordan.
-
- 004:018 And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the
- covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan,
- and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry
- land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and
- flowed over all his banks, as they did before.
-
- 004:019 And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the
- first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of
- Jericho.
-
- 004:020 And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did
- Joshua pitch in Gilgal.
-
- 004:021 And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your
- children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What
- mean these stones?
-
- 004:022 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over
- this Jordan on dry land.
-
- 004:023 For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from
- before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God
- did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we
- were gone over:
-
- 004:024 That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the
- LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God
- for ever.
-
- 005:001 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which
- were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the
- Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had
- dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of
- Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted,
- neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the
- children of Israel.
-
- 005:002 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp
- knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second
- time.
-
- 005:003 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children
- of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
-
- 005:004 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the
- people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the
- men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came
- out of Egypt.
-
- 005:005 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the
- people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they
- came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
-
- 005:006 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the
- wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which
- came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the
- voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not
- shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers
- that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and
- honey.
-
- 005:007 And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them
- Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they
- had not circumcised them by the way.
-
- 005:008 And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the
- people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they
- were whole.
-
- 005:009 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the
- reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the
- place is called Gilgal unto this day.
-
- 005:010 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the
- passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the
- plains of Jericho.
-
- 005:011 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow
- after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the
- selfsame day.
-
- 005:012 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the
- old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna
- any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan
- that year.
-
- 005:013 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he
- lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man
- over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua
- went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our
- adversaries?
-
- 005:014 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I
- now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did
- worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his
- servant?
-
- 005:015 And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy
- shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is
- holy. And Joshua did so.
-
- 006:001 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of
- Israel: none went out, and none came in.
-
- 006:002 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine
- hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of
- valour.
-
- 006:003 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round
- about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
-
- 006:004 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of
- rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city
- seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
-
- 006:005 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast
- with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the
- trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and
- the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people
- shall ascend up every man straight before him.
-
- 006:006 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto
- them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests
- bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.
-
- 006:007 And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city,
- and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.
-
- 006:008 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people,
- that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams'
- horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets:
- and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
-
- 006:009 And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the
- trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, the priests
- going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
-
- 006:010 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not
- shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any
- word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout;
- then shall ye shout.
-
- 006:011 So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it
- once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
-
- 006:012 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up
- the ark of the LORD.
-
- 006:013 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before
- the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the
- trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward
- came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and
- blowing with the trumpets.
-
- 006:014 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned
- into the camp: so they did six days.
-
- 006:015 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early
- about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the
- same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the
- city seven times.
-
- 006:016 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew
- with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the
- LORD hath given you the city.
-
- 006:017 And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are
- therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she
- and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the
- messengers that we sent.
-
- 006:018 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing,
- lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed
- thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
-
- 006:019 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron,
- are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the
- treasury of the LORD.
-
- 006:020 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets:
- and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the
- trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the
- wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city,
- every man straight before him, and they took the city.
-
- 006:021 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man
- and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the
- edge of the sword.
-
- 006:022 But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the
- country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the
- woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.
-
- 006:023 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out
- Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and
- all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and
- left them without the camp of Israel.
-
- 006:024 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein:
- only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of
- iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
-
- 006:025 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's
- household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel
- even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which
- Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
-
- 006:026 And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the
- man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city
- Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn,
- and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
-
- 006:027 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised
- throughout all the country.
-
- 007:001 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the
- accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi,
- the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed
- thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the
- children of Israel.
-
- 007:002 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside
- Bethaven, on the east of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying,
- Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
-
- 007:003 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all
- the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go
- up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour
- thither; for they are but few.
-
- 007:004 So there went up thither of the people about three thousand
- men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
-
- 007:005 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for
- they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and
- smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the
- people melted, and became as water.
-
- 007:006 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his
- face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the
- elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
-
- 007:007 And Joshua said, Alas, O LORD God, wherefore hast thou at all
- brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand
- of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been
- content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!
-
- 007:008 O LORD, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs
- before their enemies!
-
- 007:009 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall
- hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name
- from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
-
- 007:010 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest
- thou thus upon thy face?
-
- 007:011 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my
- covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of
- the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also,
- and they have put it even among their own stuff.
-
- 007:012 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their
- enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because
- they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more,
- except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
-
- 007:013 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against
- to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an
- accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not
- stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed
- thing from among you.
-
- 007:014 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your
- tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh
- shall come according to the families thereof; and the family
- which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the
- household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.
-
- 007:015 And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing
- shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he
- hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he
- hath wrought folly in Israel.
-
- 007:016 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by
- their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
-
- 007:017 And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of
- the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by
- man; and Zabdi was taken:
-
- 007:018 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of
- Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of
- Judah, was taken.
-
- 007:019 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory
- to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and
- tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.
-
- 007:020 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned
- against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
-
- 007:021 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and
- two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty
- shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and,
- behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and
- the silver under it.
-
- 007:022 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and,
- behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
-
- 007:023 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought
- them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and
- laid them out before the LORD.
-
- 007:024 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of
- Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold,
- and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses,
- and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they
- brought them unto the valley of Achor.
-
- 007:025 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall
- trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones,
- and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with
- stones.
-
- 007:026 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day.
- So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore
- the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto
- this day.
-
- 008:001 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou
- dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go
- up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and
- his people, and his city, and his land:
-
- 008:002 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto
- Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle
- thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an
- ambush for the city behind it.
-
- 008:003 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against
- Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour,
- and sent them away by night.
-
- 008:004 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait
- against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from
- the city, but be ye all ready:
-
- 008:005 And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto
- the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out
- against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,
-
- 008:006 (For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from
- the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the
- first: therefore we will flee before them.
-
- 008:007 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the
- city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
-
- 008:008 And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall
- set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD
- shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
-
- 008:009 Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in
- ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of
- Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
-
- 008:010 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the
- people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the
- people to Ai.
-
- 008:011 And all the people, even the people of war that were with him,
- went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched
- on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them
- and Ai.
-
- 008:012 And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in
- ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
-
- 008:013 And when they had set the people, even all the host that was
- on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west
- of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the
- valley.
-
- 008:014 And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they
- hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out
- against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time
- appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that there were
- liers in ambush against him behind the city.
-
- 008:015 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before
- them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
-
- 008:016 And all the people that were in Ai were called together to
- pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were
- drawn away from the city.
-
- 008:017 And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not
- out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued
- after Israel.
-
- 008:018 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is
- in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And
- Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward
- the city.
-
- 008:019 And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran
- as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered
- into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on
- fire.
-
- 008:020 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and,
- behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they
- had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that
- fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
-
- 008:021 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken
- the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they
- turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
-
- 008:022 And the other issued out of the city against them; so they
- were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on
- that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them
- remain or escape.
-
- 008:023 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
-
- 008:024 And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying
- all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness
- wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the
- edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the
- Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the
- sword.
-
- 008:025 And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and
- women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
-
- 008:026 For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out
- the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants
- of Ai.
-
- 008:027 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a
- prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD
- which he commanded Joshua.
-
- 008:028 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a
- desolation unto this day.
-
- 008:029 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as
- soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should
- take his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the
- entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great
- heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.
-
- 008:030 Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in
- mount Ebal,
-
- 008:031 As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of
- Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an
- altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any
- iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD,
- and sacrificed peace offerings.
-
- 008:032 And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses,
- which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
-
- 008:033 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their
- judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the
- priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the
- LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them;
- half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over
- against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had
- commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
-
- 008:034 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings
- and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of
- the law.
-
- 008:035 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua
- read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the
- women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were
- conversant among them.
-
- 009:001 And it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this
- side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the
- coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and
- the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the
- Jebusite, heard thereof;
-
- 009:002 That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua
- and with Israel, with one accord.
-
- 009:003 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done
- unto Jericho and to Ai,
-
- 009:004 They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been
- ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine
- bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
-
- 009:005 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments
- upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and
- mouldy.
-
- 009:006 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto
- him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country:
- now therefore make ye a league with us.
-
- 009:007 And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye
- dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?
-
- 009:008 And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua
- said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?
-
- 009:009 And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants
- are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have
- heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
-
- 009:010 And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that
- were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king
- of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.
-
- 009:011 Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country
- spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey,
- and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants:
- therefore now make ye a league with us.
-
- 009:012 This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses
- on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it
- is dry, and it is mouldy:
-
- 009:013 And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and,
- behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are
- become old by reason of the very long journey.
-
- 009:014 And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at
- the mouth of the LORD.
-
- 009:015 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them,
- to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware
- unto them.
-
- 009:016 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had
- made a league with them, that they heard that they were their
- neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.
-
- 009:017 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their
- cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and
- Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim.
-
- 009:018 And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes
- of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of
- Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
-
- 009:019 But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have
- sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we
- may not touch them.
-
- 009:020 This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest
- wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto
- them.
-
- 009:021 And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be
- hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation;
- as the princes had promised them.
-
- 009:022 And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying,
- Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from
- you; when ye dwell among us?
-
- 009:023 Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be
- freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of
- water for the house of my God.
-
- 009:024 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly
- told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his
- servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the
- inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were
- sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this
- thing.
-
- 009:025 And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and
- right unto thee to do unto us, do.
-
- 009:026 And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of
- the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
-
- 009:027 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of
- water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD,
- even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.
-
- 010:001 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedec king of Jerusalem had
- heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it;
- as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai
- and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace
- with Israel, and were among them;
-
- 010:002 That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as
- one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai,
- and all the men thereof were mighty.
-
- 010:003 Wherefore Adonizedec king of Jerusalem, sent unto Hoham king
- of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia
- king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,
-
- 010:004 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it
- hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
-
- 010:005 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of
- Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king
- of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together,
- and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before
- Gibeon, and made war against it.
-
- 010:006 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal,
- saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us
- quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the
- Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together
- against us.
-
- 010:007 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war
- with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
-
- 010:008 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have
- delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them
- stand before thee.
-
- 010:009 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from
- Gilgal all night.
-
- 010:010 And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them
- with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the
- way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and
- unto Makkedah.
-
- 010:011 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were
- in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great
- stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they
- were more which died with hailstones than they whom the
- children of Israel slew with the sword.
-
- 010:012 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD
- delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and
- he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon
- Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
-
- 010:013 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people
- had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written
- in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of
- heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
-
- 010:014 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the
- LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought
- for Israel.
-
- 010:015 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to
- Gilgal.
-
- 010:016 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at
- Makkedah.
-
- 010:017 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid
- in a cave at Makkedah.
-
- 010:018 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave,
- and set men by it for to keep them:
-
- 010:019 And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the
- hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities:
- for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.
-
- 010:020 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel
- had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter,
- till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them
- entered into fenced cities.
-
- 010:021 And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah
- in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of
- Israel.
-
- 010:022 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out
- those five kings unto me out of the cave.
-
- 010:023 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him
- out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron,
- the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of
- Eglon.
-
- 010:024 And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto
- Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said
- unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come
- near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they
- came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
-
- 010:025 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be
- strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all
- your enemies against whom ye fight.
-
- 010:026 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged
- them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until
- the evening.
-
- 010:027 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun,
- that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees,
- and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and
- laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this
- very day.
-
- 010:028 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge
- of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them,
- and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and
- he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of
- Jericho.
-
- 010:029 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him,
- unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
-
- 010:030 And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the
- hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword,
- and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it;
- but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of
- Jericho.
-
- 010:031 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto
- Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
-
- 010:032 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which
- took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the
- sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all
- that he had done to Libnah.
-
- 010:033 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua
- smote him and his people, until he had left him none
- remaining.
-
- 010:034 And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with
- him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
-
- 010:035 And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of
- the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly
- destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to
- Lachish.
-
- 010:036 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto
- Hebron; and they fought against it:
-
- 010:037 And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and
- the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the
- souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to
- all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and
- all the souls that were therein.
-
- 010:038 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and
- fought against it:
-
- 010:039 And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities
- thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and
- utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left
- none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir,
- and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to
- her king.
-
- 010:040 So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the
- south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their
- kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that
- breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.
-
- 010:041 And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and
- all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
-
- 010:042 And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one
- time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
-
- 010:043 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to
- Gilgal.
-
- 011:001 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those
- things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king
- of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
-
- 011:002 And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and
- of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in
- the borders of Dor on the west,
-
- 011:003 And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the
- Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite
- in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land
- of Mizpeh.
-
- 011:004 And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much
- people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in
- multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
-
- 011:005 And when all these kings were met together, they came and
- pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against
- Israel.
-
- 011:006 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them:
- for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain
- before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their
- chariots with fire.
-
- 011:007 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against
- them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.
-
- 011:008 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote
- them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto
- Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and
- they smote them, until they left them none remaining.
-
- 011:009 And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he houghed
- their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
-
- 011:010 And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote
- the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the
- head of all those kingdoms.
-
- 011:011 And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge
- of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left
- to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.
-
- 011:012 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them,
- did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword,
- and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the
- LORD commanded.
-
- 011:013 But as for the cities that stood still in their strength,
- Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua
- burn.
-
- 011:014 And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the
- children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every
- man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had
- destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.
-
- 011:015 As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command
- Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that
- the LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 011:016 So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south
- country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the
- plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;
-
- 011:017 Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto
- Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all
- their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.
-
- 011:018 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
-
- 011:019 There was not a city that made peace with the children of
- Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other
- they took in battle.
-
- 011:020 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they
- should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy
- them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he
- might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.
-
- 011:021 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the
- mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all
- the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel:
- Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.
-
- 011:022 There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children
- of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there
- remained.
-
- 011:023 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD
- said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto
- Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the
- land rested from war.
-
- 012:001 Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of
- Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side
- Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto
- mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:
-
- 012:002 Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled
- from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and
- from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even unto
- the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of
- Ammon;
-
- 012:003 And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and
- unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the
- way to Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdothpisgah:
-
- 012:004 And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant
- of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
-
- 012:005 And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan,
- unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and
- half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
-
- 012:006 Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of
- Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a
- possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half
- tribe of Manasseh.
-
- 012:007 And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the
- children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from
- Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak,
- that goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of
- Israel for a possession according to their divisions;
-
- 012:008 In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and
- in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south
- country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the
- Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:
-
- 012:009 The king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside
- Bethel, one;
-
- 012:010 The king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;
-
- 012:011 The king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;
-
- 012:012 The king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;
-
- 012:013 The king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;
-
- 012:014 The king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;
-
- 012:015 The king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;
-
- 012:016 The king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;
-
- 012:017 The king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one;
-
- 012:018 The king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one;
-
- 012:019 The king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;
-
- 012:020 The king of Shimronmeron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;
-
- 012:021 The king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;
-
- 012:022 The king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam of Carmel, one;
-
- 012:023 The king of Dor in the coast of Dor, one; the king of the
- nations of Gilgal, one;
-
- 012:024 The king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one.
-
- 013:001 Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said
- unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there
- remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.
-
- 013:002 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the
- Philistines, and all Geshuri,
-
- 013:003 From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of
- Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords
- of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the
- Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the
- Avites:
-
- 013:004 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah
- that is beside the Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the
- Amorites:
-
- 013:005 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the
- sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering
- into Hamath.
-
- 013:006 All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto
- Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out
- from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot
- unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded
- thee.
-
- 013:007 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the
- nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
-
- 013:008 With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their
- inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward,
- even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;
-
- 013:009 From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the
- city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain of
- Medeba unto Dibon;
-
- 013:010 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which
- reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;
-
- 013:011 And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites,
- and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;
-
- 013:012 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth
- and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for
- these did Moses smite, and cast them out.
-
- 013:013 Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the
- Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the
- Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.
-
- 013:014 Only unto the tribes of Levi he gave none inheritance; the
- sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their
- inheritance, as he said unto them.
-
- 013:015 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben
- inheritance according to their families.
-
- 013:016 And their coast was from Aroer, that is on the bank of the
- river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river,
- and all the plain by Medeba;
-
- 013:017 Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and
- Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,
-
- 013:018 And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
-
- 013:019 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of
- the valley,
-
- 013:020 And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth,
-
- 013:021 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon
- king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses
- smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and
- Hur, and Reba, which were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the
- country.
-
- 013:022 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children
- of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by
- them.
-
- 013:023 And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the
- border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of
- Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages
- thereof.
-
- 013:024 And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto
- the children of Gad according to their families.
-
- 013:025 And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and
- half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is
- before Rabbah;
-
- 013:026 And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from
- Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;
-
- 013:027 And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and
- Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon,
- Jordan and his border, even unto the edge of the sea of
- Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward.
-
- 013:028 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their
- families, the cities, and their villages.
-
- 013:029 And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh:
- and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children
- of Manasseh by their families.
-
- 013:030 And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom
- of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in
- Bashan, threescore cities:
-
- 013:031 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the
- kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of
- Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the
- children of Machir by their families.
-
- 013:032 These are the countries which Moses did distribute for
- inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan,
- by Jericho, eastward.
-
- 013:033 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the
- LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto
- them.
-
- 014:001 And these are the countries which the children of Israel
- inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and
- Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the
- tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance
- to them.
-
- 014:002 By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the
- hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.
-
- 014:003 For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half
- tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave
- none inheritance among them.
-
- 014:004 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and
- Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the
- land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their
- cattle and for their substance.
-
- 014:005 As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did,
- and they divided the land.
-
- 014:006 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and
- Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou
- knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God
- concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea.
-
- 014:007 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent
- me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him
- word again as it was in mine heart.
-
- 014:008 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart
- of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
-
- 014:009 And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon
- thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy
- children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the
- LORD my God.
-
- 014:010 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said,
- these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this
- word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the
- wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five
- years old.
-
- 014:011 As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses
- sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now,
- for war, both to go out, and to come in.
-
- 014:012 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in
- that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were
- there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the
- LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out,
- as the LORD said.
-
- 014:013 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of
- Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
-
- 014:014 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of
- Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly
- followed the LORD God of Israel.
-
- 014:015 And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was
- a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
-
- 015:001 This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by
- their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of
- Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast.
-
- 015:002 And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea,
- from the bay that looketh southward:
-
- 015:003 And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and
- passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto
- Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar,
- and fetched a compass to Karkaa:
-
- 015:004 From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the
- river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the
- sea: this shall be your south coast.
-
- 015:005 And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of
- Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay
- of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan:
-
- 015:006 And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the
- north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of
- Bohan the son of Reuben:
-
- 015:007 And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor,
- and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the
- going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river:
- and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the
- goings out thereof were at Enrogel:
-
- 015:008 And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto
- the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the
- border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before
- the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the
- valley of the giants northward:
-
- 015:009 And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the
- fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities
- of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which is
- Kirjathjearim:
-
- 015:010 And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir,
- and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is
- Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and
- passed on to Timnah:
-
- 015:011 And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and
- the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount
- Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the
- border were at the sea.
-
- 015:012 And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast
- thereof. This is the coast of the children of Judah round
- about according to their families.
-
- 015:013 And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the
- children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to
- Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city
- is Hebron.
-
- 015:014 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and
- Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
-
- 015:015 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the
- name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher.
-
- 015:016 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it,
- to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
-
- 015:017 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it:
- and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
-
- 015:018 And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him
- to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and
- Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?
-
- 015:019 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a
- south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the
- upper springs, and the nether springs.
-
- 015:020 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah
- according to their families.
-
- 015:021 And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah
- toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and
- Jagur,
-
- 015:022 And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,
-
- 015:023 And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan,
-
- 015:024 Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth,
-
- 015:025 And Hazor, Hadattah, and Kerioth, and Hezron, which is Hazor,
-
- 015:026 Amam, and Shema, and Moladah,
-
- 015:027 And Hazargaddah, and Heshmon, and Bethpalet,
-
- 015:028 And Hazarshual, and Beersheba, and Bizjothjah,
-
- 015:029 Baalah, and Iim, and Azem,
-
- 015:030 And Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah,
-
- 015:031 And Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah,
-
- 015:032 And Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities
- are twenty and nine, with their villages:
-
- 015:033 And in the valley, Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah,
-
- 015:034 And Zanoah, and Engannim, Tappuah, and Enam,
-
- 015:035 Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah,
-
- 015:036 And Sharaim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim;
- fourteen cities with their villages:
-
- 015:037 Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdalgad,
-
- 015:038 And Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel,
-
- 015:039 Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon,
-
- 015:040 And Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Kithlish,
-
- 015:041 And Gederoth, Bethdagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen
- cities with their villages:
-
- 015:042 Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan,
-
- 015:043 And Jiphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib,
-
- 015:044 And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their
- villages:
-
- 015:045 Ekron, with her towns and her villages:
-
- 015:046 From Ekron even unto the sea, all that lay near Ashdod, with
- their villages:
-
- 015:047 Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Gaza with her towns
- and her villages, unto the river of Egypt, and the great sea,
- and the border thereof:
-
- 015:048 And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh,
-
- 015:049 And Dannah, and Kirjathsannah, which is Debir,
-
- 015:050 And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,
-
- 015:051 And Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their
- villages:
-
- 015:052 Arab, and Dumah, and Eshean,
-
- 015:053 And Janum, and Bethtappuah, and Aphekah,
-
- 015:054 And Humtah, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, and Zior; nine
- cities with their villages:
-
- 015:055 Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Juttah,
-
- 015:056 And Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah,
-
- 015:057 Cain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages:
-
- 015:058 Halhul, Bethzur, and Gedor,
-
- 015:059 And Maarath, and Bethanoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their
- villages:
-
- 015:060 Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, and Rabbah; two cities
- with their villages:
-
- 015:061 In the wilderness, Betharabah, Middin, and Secacah,
-
- 015:062 And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and Engedi; six cities with
- their villages.
-
- 015:063 As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the
- children of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites
- dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.
-
- 016:001 And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by
- Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the
- wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,
-
- 016:002 And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the
- borders of Archi to Ataroth,
-
- 016:003 And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the
- coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer; and the goings
- out thereof are at the sea.
-
- 016:004 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their
- inheritance.
-
- 016:005 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their
- families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the
- east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;
-
- 016:006 And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the
- north side; and the border went about eastward unto
- Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
-
- 016:007 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and
- came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.
-
- 016:008 The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river
- Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the
- inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their
- families.
-
- 016:009 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among
- the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities
- with their villages.
-
- 016:010 And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but
- the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and
- serve under tribute.
-
- 017:001 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the
- firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of
- Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war,
- therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
-
- 017:002 There was a
