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

27:15 And on the other side [shall be] hangings, fifteen
[cubits]: their pillars three, and their sockets three.
27:16 And for the gate of the court [shall be] a hanging of

[shall be] four, and their sockets four.
27:17 All the pillars around the court [shall be] filleted with

fine twined linen, and their sockets [of] brass.
27:19 All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service
thereof, and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the
court, [shall be of] brass.
27:20 And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they
bring the pure olive-oil beaten for the light, to cause the
lamp to burn always.
27:21 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 to their generations on the behalf of the
children of Israel.
28:1 And take thou to thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with
him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to
me in the priest's office, [even] Aaron, Nadab and Abihu,
Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.
28:2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother,
for glory and for beauty.
28:3 And thou shalt speak to all [that are] wise in heart, whom
I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make
Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister to me
in the priest's office.
28:4 And these [are] the garments which they shall make; a
breast-plate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a
miter, and a girdle; and they shall make holy garments for
Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in
the priest's office.
28:5 And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and fine linen.
28:6 And they shall make the ephod [of] gold, [of] blue, and
[of] purple, [of] scarlet, and fine twined linen, with curious
work.
28:7 It shall have the two shoulder-pieces thereof joined at the
two edges thereof; and [so] it shall be joined together.
28:8 And the curious girdle of the ephod, which [is] upon it,
shall be of the same, according to its work; [even of] gold,
[of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
28:9 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and engrave on them
the names of the children of Israel:
28:10 Six of their names on one stone, and [the] six names of
the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
28:11 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.
28:12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of
the ephod [for] stones of memorial to the children of Israel:
and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two
shoulders for a memorial.
28:13 And thou shalt make ouches [of] gold;
28:14 And two chains [of] pure gold at the ends; [of] wreathed
work shalt thou make them, and fasten the wreathed chains to
the ouches.
28:15 And thou shalt make the breast-plate of judgment with
curious 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.
28:16 Foursquare it shall be, [being] doubled; a span [shall be]
its length, and a span [shall be] its breadth.
28:17 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.
28:18 And the second row [shall be] an emerald, a sapphire, and
a diamond.
28:19 And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
28:20 And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper:
they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.
28:21 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.
28:22 And thou shalt make upon the breast-plate chains at the
ends [of] wreathed work [of] pure gold.
28:23 And thou shalt make upon the breast-plate two rings of
gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the
breast-plate.
28:24 And thou shalt put the two wreathed [chains] of gold in
the two rings [which are] on the ends of the breast-plate.
28:25 And [the other] two ends of the two wreathed [chains] thou
shalt fasten in the two ouches, and put [them] on the
shoulder-pieces of the ephod before it.
28:26 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put
them upon the two ends of the breast-plate in its border, which
[is] in the side of the ephod inward.
28:27 And two [other] rings of gold thou shalt make, and shalt
put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, towards the
forepart of it, over against the [other] coupling thereof,
above the curious girdle of the ephod.
28:28 And they shall bind the breast-plate by its rings to the
rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that [it] may be above
the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breast-plate be
not loosed from the ephod.
28:29 And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel
in the breast-plate of judgment upon his heart, when he
entereth into the holy [place], for a memorial before the LORD
continually.
28:30 And thou shalt put in the breast-plate 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.
28:31 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all [of] blue.
28:32 And there shall be a hole in the top of it, in the midst
of it: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the
hole of it, as the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.
28:33 And [beneath], upon the hem of it thou shalt make
pomegranates [of] blue, and [of] purple, and [of] scarlet,
round about its hem; and bells of gold between them around it.
28:34 A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a
pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe around it.
28:35 And it shall be upon Aaron, to minister: and his sound
shall be heard when he goeth in to the holy [place] before the
LORD, and when he cometh out; that he may not die.
28:36 And thou shalt make a plate [of] pure gold, and engrave
upon it, [like] the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE
LORD.
28:37 And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon
the miter; upon the front of the miter it shall be.
28:38 And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear
the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel
shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always
upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.
28:39 And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou
shalt make the miter [of] fine linen, and thou shalt make the
girdle [of] needle-work.
28:40 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.
28:41 And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and on his
sons with him: and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and
sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's
office.
28:42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their
nakedness: from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach:
28:43 And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they
enter in to the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they
come near to the altar to minister in the holy [place]; that
they bear not iniquity, and die. [It shall be] a statute for
ever to him, and to his seed after him.
29:1 And this [is] the thing that thou shalt do to them to
hallow them, to minister to me in the priest's office: Take one
young bullock, and two rams without blemish,
29:2 And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with
oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil; [of] wheat flour
shalt thou make them.
29:3 And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in
the basket, with the bullock and the two rams.
29:4 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water.
29:5 And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron, the
coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the
breast-plate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the
ephod:
29:6 And thou shalt put the miter upon his head, and put the
holy crown upon the miter.
29:7 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour [it] upon
his head, and anoint him.
29:8 And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them.
29:9 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.
29:10 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.
29:11 And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, [by] the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
29:12 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.
29:13 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.
29:14 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.
29:15 Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall
put their hands upon the head of the ram.
29:16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his
blood, and sprinkle [it] around upon the altar.
29:17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards
of him, and his legs, and put [them] to his pieces, and to his
head.
29:18 And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it [is]
a burnt-offering to the LORD: it [is] a sweet savor, an
offering made by fire to the LORD.
29:19 And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons
shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
29:20 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.
29:21 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.
29:22 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:
29:23 And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and
one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread, that [is]
before the LORD.
29:24 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.
29:25 And thou shalt receive them from their hands, and burn
[them] upon the altar for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savor
before the LORD: it [is] an offering made by fire to the LORD.
29:26 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.
29:27 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:
29:28 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for
ever, from the children of Israel: for it [is] a
heave-offering: and it shall be a heave-offering from the
children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace-offerings,
[even] their heave-offering to the LORD.
29:29 And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after
him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them.
29:30 [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].
29:31 And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and
seethe his flesh in the holy place.
29:32 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.
29:33 And they shall eat those things with which the atonement
was made, to consecrate [and] to sanctify them: but a stranger
shall not eat [of them], because they [are] holy.
29:34 And if aught of the flesh of the consecration, or of the
bread, shall remain till the morning, then thou shalt burn the
remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it [is]
holy.
29:35 And thus shalt thou do to Aaron, and to his sons,
according to all [things] which I have commanded thee: seven
days shalt thou consecrate them.
29:36 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.
29:37 Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and
sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatever
toucheth the altar shall be holy.
29:38 Now this [is that] which thou shalt offer upon the altar;
two lambs of the first year, day by day continually.
29:39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the
other lamb thou shalt offer at evening.
29:40 And with the one lamb a tenth-portion of flour mingled
with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil; and the fourth
part of a hin of wine [for] a drink-offering.
29:41 And the other lamb thou shalt offer at evening, and shalt
do thereto according to the meat-offering of the morning, and
according to the drink-offering thereof, for a sweet savor, an
offering made by fire to the LORD.
29:42 [This shall be] a continual burnt-offering throughout your
generations [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
before the LORD: where I will meet you to speak there to thee.
29:43 And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and
[the tabernacle] shall be sanctified by my glory.
29:44 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.
29:45 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be
their God.
29:46 And they shall know that I [am] the LORD their God, that
brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell
among them: I [am] the LORD their God.
30:1 And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: [of]
shittim wood shalt thou make it.
30:2 A cubit [shall be] its length, and a cubit its breadth;
foursquare shall it be; and two cubits [shall be] its hight:
its horns [shall be] of the same.
30:3 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, its top, and its
sides round about, and its horns; and thou shalt make to it a
crown of gold round about.
30:4 And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown
of it, by its two corners, upon the two sides of it shalt thou
make [it]; and they shall be for places for the staffs to bear
it with.
30:5 And thou shalt make the staffs of shittim wood, and overlay
them with gold.
30:6 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.
30:7 And Aaron shall burn upon it sweet incense every morning:
when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
30:8 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at evening, he shall burn
incense upon it; a perpetual incense before the LORD,
throughout your generations.
30:9 Ye shall offer no strange incense upon it, nor
burnt-sacrifice, nor meat-offering; neither shall ye pour
drink-offering upon it.
30:10 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 a year shall he make atonement upon it
throughout your generations: it [is] most holy to the LORD.
30:11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
30:12 When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after
their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his
soul to the LORD, when thou numberest them: that there may be
no plague among them, when [thou] numberest them.
30:13 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:) a half shekel [shall
be] the offering of the LORD.
30:14 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered from
twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the LORD.
30:15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give
less than half a shekel, when [they] give an offering to the
LORD to make an atonement for your souls.
30:16 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 to the children
of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
30:17 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
30:18 Thou shalt also make a laver [of] brass, and its foot
[also of] brass, to wash [in]: [and] thou shalt put it between
the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou
shalt put water therein.
30:19 For Aaron and their sons shall wash their hands and their
feet thereat:
30:20 When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they
shall wash with water, that they die not: or when they come
near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire to
the LORD.
30:21 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.
30:22 Moreover the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
30:23 Take thou also to thee principal spices, of pure myrrh
five hundred [shekels], and of sweet cinnamon half as much,
[even] two hundred and fifty [shekels], and of sweet calamus
two hundred and fifty [shekels],
30:24 And of cassia five hundred [shekels], after the shekel of
the sanctuary, and of olive-oil a hin:
30:25 And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an
ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be
a holy anointing oil.
30:26 And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation
with it, and the ark of the testimony,
30:27 And the table and all its vessels, and the candlestick and
its vessels, and the altar of incense,
30:28 And the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and
the laver and its foot.
30:29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy:
whatever toucheth them shall be holy.
30:30 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate
them, that [they] may minister to me in the priest's office.
30:31 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying,
This shall be a holy anointing oil to me, throughout your
generations.
30:32 Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye
make [any other] like it, after the composition of it: it [is]
holy, [and] it shall be holy to you.
30:33 Whoever compoundeth [any] like it, or whoever putteth
[any] of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his
people.
30:34 And the LORD said to Moses, Take to thee sweet spices,
stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; [these] sweet spices with
pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like [weight]:
30:35 And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the
art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure [and] holy:
30:36 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 to you most holy:
30:37 And [as for] the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall
not make to yourselves according to its composition: it shall
be to thee holy for the LORD.
30:38 Whoever shall make the like to that, to smell thereto,
shall even be cut off from his people.
31:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
31:2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son
of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
31:3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom,
and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of
workmanship,
31:4 To devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver,
and in brass,
31:5 And in cutting of stones to set [them], and in carving of
timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
31:6 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:
31:7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the
testimony, and the mercy-seat that [is] upon it, and all the
furniture of the tabernacle,
31:8 And the table and its furniture, and the pure candlestick
with all its furniture, and the altar of incense,
31:9 And the altar of burnt-offering, with all its furniture,
and the laver and its foot,
31:10 And the clothes of service, and the holy garments for
Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in
the priest's office,
31:11 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy
[place]: according to all that I have commanded thee, shall
they do.
31:12 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
31:13 Speak thou also to 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.
31:14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore: for it [is] holy to
you. Every one that profaneth it shall surely be put to death:
for whoever doeth [any] work therein, that soul shall be cut
off from among his people.
31:15 Six days may work be done, but in the seventh [is] the
sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whoever doeth [any] work in
the sabbath-day, he shall surely be put to death.
31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath,
to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, [for] a
perpetual covenant.
31:17 [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.
31:18 And to Moses, when he had made an end of communing with
him upon mount Sinai, he gave two tables of testimony, tables
of stone, written with the finger of God.
32:1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down
from the mount, the people assembled themselves to Aaron, and
said to him, Arise, make us gods which shall go before us: for
[as for] this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of
Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
32:2 And Aaron said to them, Break off the golden ear-rings
which [are] in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of
your daughters, and bring [them] to me.
32:3 And all the people broke off the golden ear-rings which
[were] in their ears, and brought [them] to Aaron.
32:4 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 are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee out of
the land of Egypt.
32:5 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.
32:6 And they rose 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.
32:7 And the LORD said to Moses, Go, go down; for thy people,
which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted
[themselves]:
32:8 They have turned aside quickly from the way which I
commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have
worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, These are
thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee out of the land of
Egypt.
32:9 And the LORD said to Moses, I have seen this people, and
behold it [is] a stiff-necked people:
32:10 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.
32:11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, why doth
thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought
forth from the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a
mighty hand?
32:12 Why should the Egyptians speak and say, For evil did he
bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume
them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath,
and repent of this evil against thy people.
32:13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel thy servants, to whom
thou sworest by thine own self, and saidst to them, I will
multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land
that I have spoken of will I give to your seed, and they shall
inherit [it] for ever.
32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do
to his people.
32:15 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.
32:16 And the tables [were] the work of God, and the writing
[was] the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
32:17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they
shouted, he said to Moses, [There is] a noise of war in the
camp.
32:18 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.
32:19 And it came to pass as soon as he came nigh to the camp,
that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses's anger waxed
hot, and he cast the tables from his hands, and broke them
beneath the mount.
32:20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt [it]
in the fire, and ground [it] to powder, and strewed [it] upon
the water, and made the children of Israel drink [of it].
32:21 And Moses said to Aaron, What did this people to thee,
that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
32:22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou
knowest the people that they [are set] on mischief.
32:23 For they said to me, Make us gods which shall go before
us: for [as for] this Moses, the man that brought us out of the
land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
32:24 And I said to them, Whoever hath any gold, let them break
[it] off: So they gave [it] to me: then I cast it into the
fire, and there came out this calf.
32:25 And when Moses saw that the people [were] naked (for Aaron
had made them naked to [their] shame, among their enemies:)
32:26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who
[is] on the LORD'S side? [let him come] to me. And all the sons
of Levi assembled themselves to him.
32:27 And he said to 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
neighbor.
32:28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of
Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three
thousand men.
32:29 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to-day to the
LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that
he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
32:30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said to the
people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up to the
LORD; it may be I shall make an atonement for your sin.
32:31 And Moses returned to the LORD, and said, Oh, this people
have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
32:32 Yet now, if thou wilt, forgive their sin: and if not, blot
me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
32:33 And the LORD said to Moses, Whoever hath sinned against
me, him will I blot out of my book.
32:34 Therefore now go, lead the people to [the place] of which
I have spoken to thee: Behold, my angel shall go before thee:
Nevertheless, in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin
upon them.
32:35 And the LORD afflicted the people, because they made the
calf which Aaron made.
33:1 And the LORD said to Moses, Depart [and] go up hence, thou
and the people which thou hast conducted from the land of
Egypt, to the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to
Jacob, saying, to thy seed will I give it:
33:2 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:
33:3 To a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up
in the midst of thee; for thou [art] a stiff-necked people:
lest I consume thee in the way.
33:4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned:
and no man put on him his ornaments.
33:5 For the LORD had said to Moses, Say to the children of
Israel, Ye [are] a stiff-necked people: I will come up into the
midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put
off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do to
thee.
33:6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their
ornaments, by the mount Horeb.
33:7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the
camp far from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the
congregation. And it came to pass, [that] every one who sought
the LORD, went out to the tabernacle of the congregation, which
[was] without the camp.
33:8 And it came to pass when Moses went out to the tabernacle,
[that] all the people rose, and stood every man at his
tent-door, and looked after Moses, until he had gone into the
tabernacle.
33:9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle,
the cloudy pillar descended, and stood [at] the door of the
tabernacle, and [the LORD] talked with Moses.
33:10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand [at] the
tabernacle door: and all the people rose and worshiped, every
man [in] his tent-door.
33:11 And the LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man
speaketh to 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.
33:12 And Moses said to the LORD, See, thou sayest to 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.
33:13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy
sight, show 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.
33:14 And he said, My presence shall attend [thee], and I will
give thee rest.
33:15 And he said to him, If thy presence shall not attend me,
conduct us not hence.
33:16 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.
33:17 And the LORD said to 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.
33:18 And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory.
33:19 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 show mercy on
whom I will show mercy.
33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall
no man see me, and live.
33:21 And the LORD said, Behold, [there is] a place by me, and
thou shalt stand upon a rock:
33:22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that
I will put thee in a cleft of the rock: and will cover thee
with my hand while I pass by:
33:23 And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back
parts: but my face shall not be seen.
34:1 And the LORD said to Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone
like the first; and I will write upon [these] tables the words
that were in the first tables which thou didst break.
34:2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to
mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me on the top of the
mount.
34:3 And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be
seen throughout all the mount: neither let the flocks nor herds
feed before that mount.
34:4 And he hewed two tables of stone, like the first; and Moses
rose up early in the morning, and went up to mount Sinai, as
the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables
of stone.
34:5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him
there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
34:6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The
LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and
abundant in goodness and truth.
34:7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and
transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear [the
guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children, and upon the children's children, to the third and to
the fourth [generation].
34:8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head towards the earth,
and worshiped.
34:9 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
stiff-necked people) and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and
take us for thy inheritance.
34:10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy
people I will do wonders, such as have not been done in all the
earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou
[art], shall see the work of the LORD: for it [is] a terrible
thing that I will do with thee.
34:11 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: Behold, I
drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the
Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
34:12 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:
34:13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and
cut down their groves.
34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose
name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God:
34:15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the
land, and they go astray after their gods, and do sacrifice to
their gods, and [one] call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
34:16 And thou take of their daughters to thy sons, and their
daughters go astray after their gods, and make thy sons go
astray after their gods.
34:17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
34:18 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days
shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the
time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out
of from Egypt.
34:19 Every first-born [is] mine: and every firstling among thy
cattle, [whether] ox or sheep, [that is male].
34:20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb:
and if thou shalt not redeem him, then shalt thou break his
neck. All the first-born of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And
none shall appear before me empty.
34:21 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou
shalt rest: in time of plowing and in harvest thou shalt rest.
34:22 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the
first-fruits of wheat-harvest, and the feast of in-gathering at
the year's end.
34:23 Thrice in the year shall all your male children appear
before the LORD GOD, the God of Israel.
34:24 For I will drive 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.
34:25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with
leaven, neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the
passover be left until the morning.
34:26 The first of the first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring
to the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid
in his mother's milk.
34:27 And the LORD said to Moses, Write thou these words: for
after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with
thee, and with Israel.
34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty
nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water: and he wrote upon
the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
34:29 And it came to pass when Moses came down from mount Sinai
(with the two tables of testimony in Moses's hand, when he came
down from the mount) that Moses knew not that the skin of his
face shone, while he talked with him.
34:30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses,
behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to
come nigh him.
34:31 And Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the rulers of
the congregation returned to him; and Moses talked with them.
34:32 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.
34:33 And [till] Moses had done speaking with them, he put a
vail on his face.
34:34 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
spoke to the children of Israel [that] which he was commanded.
34:35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the
skin of Moses's face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his
face again, until he went in to speak with him.
35:1 And Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of
Israel, and said to them, These [are] the words which the LORD
hath commanded, that [ye] should do them.
35:2 Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day there
shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD:
whoever doth work therein shall be put to death.
35:3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon
the sabbath-day.
35:4 And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of
Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the LORD commanded,
saying,
35:5 Take ye from among you an offering to the LORD: whoever
[is] of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the
LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,
35:6 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and
goats' [hair],
35:7 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim
wood,
35:8 And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and
for the sweet incense,
35:9 And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and
for the breast-plate.
35:10 And every wise-hearted among you shall come, and make all
that the LORD hath commanded;
35:11 The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its buttons,
and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets,
35:12 The ark, and its staffs, [with] the mercy-seat, and the
vail of the covering,
35:13 The table, and its staffs, and all its vessels, and the
show-bread,
35:14 The candlestick also for the light, and its furniture, and
its lamps, with the oil for the light,
35:15 And the incense-altar, and its staffs, and the anointing
oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the
entrance of the tabernacle,
35:16 The altar of burnt-offering, with its brazen grate, its
staffs, and all its vessels, the laver and its foot,
35:17 The hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets,
and the hanging for the door of the court,
35:18 The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and
their cords,
35:19 The clothes of service, to do service in the holy [place],
the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his
sons, to minister in the priest's office.
35:20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel
departed from the presence of Moses.
35:21 And they came, every one whose heart excited him, and
every one whom his spirit made willing, [and] they brought the
LORD'S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy
garments.
35:22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were
willing-hearted, [and] brought bracelets, and ear-rings, and
rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold; and every man that
offered, [offered] an offering of gold to the LORD.
35:23 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].
35:24 Every one that offered 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].
35:25 And all the women that were wise-hearted spun with their
hands, and brought that which they had spun, [both] of blue,
and of purple, [and] of scarlet, and of fine linen.
35:26 And all the women whose heart moved them in wisdom spun
goats' [hair].
35:27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set,
for the ephod, and for the breast-plate;
35:28 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing
oil, and for the sweet incense.
35:29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering to the
LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to
bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to
be made by the hand of Moses.
35:30 And Moses said to 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;
35:31 And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom,
in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of
workmanship;
35:32 And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in
silver, and in brass,
35:33 And in the cutting of stones, to set [them], and in
carving of wood, to make any manner of curious work.
35:34 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, [both] he
and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35:35 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all
manner of work, of the engraver, and of the skillful workmen,
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 curious work.
36:1 Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted
man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding, to know how
to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary,
according to all that the LORD had commanded.
36:2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every
wise-hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom,
[even] every one whose heart excited him to come to the work to
do it:
36:3 And they received from Moses all the offering which the
children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of
the sanctuary, to make it. And they brought yet to him
free-offerings every morning.
36:4 And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the
sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made.
36:5 And they spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more
than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD
commanded to make.
36:6 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.
36:7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to
make it, and too much.
36:8 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: he made them [with] cherubim of
curious work.
36:9 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.
36:10 And he coupled the five curtains one to another: and [the
other] five curtains he coupled one to another.
36:11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from
the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the extremity
of [another] curtain, in the coupling of the second.
36:12 Fifty loops he made in one curtain, and fifty loops he
made in the edge of the curtain which [was] in the coupling of
the second: the loops held one [curtain] to another.
36:13 And he made fifty buttons of gold, and coupled the
curtains one to another with the buttons. So it became one
tabernacle.
36:14 And he made curtains [of] goats' [hair] for the tent over
the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
36:15 The length of one curtain [was] thirty cubits, and four
cubits [was] the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains
[were] of one size.
36:16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six
curtains by themselves.
36:17 And he made fifty loops upon the outermost edge of the
curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge
of the curtain which coupleth the second.
36:18 And he made fifty buttons [of] brass to couple the tent
together, that it might be one.
36:19 And he made a covering for the tent [of] rams' skins dyed
red, and a covering [of] badgers' skins above [that].
36:20 And he made boards for the tabernacle [of] shittim wood,
standing up.
36:21 The length of a board [was] ten cubits, and the breadth of
a board one cubit and a half.
36:22 One board had two tenons, equally distant one from
another; thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
36:23 And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for
the south side southward:
36:24 And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty
boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two
sockets under another board for its two tenons.
36:25 And for the other side of the tabernacle [which is]
towards the north corner, he made twenty boards.
36:26 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one
board, and two sockets under another board.
36:27 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six
boards.
36:28 And two boards he made for the corners of the tabernacle
in the two sides.
36:29 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.
36:30 And there were eight boards; and their sockets [were]
sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
36:31 And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of
the one side of the tabernacle,
36:32 And five bars for the boards of the other side of the
tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for
the sides westward.
36:33 And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards
from the one end to the other.
36:34 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.
36:35 And he made a vail [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and
fine twined linen: [with] cherubim he made it of curious work.
36:36 And he made to it four pillars [of] shittim [wood], and
overlaid them with gold: their hooks [were of] gold; and he
cast for them four sockets of silver.
36:37 And he made a hanging for the tabernacle-door [of] blue,
and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needle-work;
36:38 And the five pillars of it, with their hooks: and he
overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold: but their
five sockets [were of] brass.
37:1 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 hight of it:
37:2 And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and
made a crown of gold to it round about.
37:3 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.
37:4 And he made staffs [of] shittim wood, and overlaid them
with gold.
37:5 And he put the staffs into the rings by the sides of the
ark, to bear the ark.
37:6 And he made the mercy-seat [of] pure gold: two cubits and a
half [was] the length of it, and one cubit and a half the
breadth of it.
37:7 And he made two cherubim [of] gold, beaten out of one piece
he made them, on the two ends of the mercy-seat;
37:8 One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on
the [other] end on that side: out of the mercy-seat made he the
cherubim on the two ends of it.
37:9 And the cherubim spread out [their] wings on high, [and]
covered with their wings over the mercy-seat, with their faces
one to another; [even] towards the mercy-seat were the faces of
the cherubim.
37:10 And he made the table [of] shittim wood: two cubits [was]
its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its
hight:
37:11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made to it a crown
of gold round about.
37:12 Also he made to it a border of a hand-breadth round about;
and made a crown of gold for its border round about.
37:13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings
upon the four corners that [were] in its four feet.
37:14 Over against the border were the rings, the places for the
staffs, to bear the table.
37:15 And he made the staffs [of] shittim wood, and overlaid
them with gold, to bear the table.
37:16 And he made the vessels which [were] upon the table, its
dishes, and its spoons, and its bowls, and its covers to cover
with, [of] pure gold.
37:17 And he made the candlestick of pure gold; [of] beaten work
he made the candlestick; its shaft, and its branch, its bowls,
its knobs, and its flowers were of the same:
37:18 And six branches proceeding from its sides; three branches
of the candlestick from the one side of it, and three branches
of the candlestick from the other side of it.
37:19 Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one
branch, a knob and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds
in another branch, a knob and a flower: so throughout the six
branches proceeding from the candlestick.
37:20 And in the candlestick [were] four bowls made like
almonds, its knobs, and its flowers:
37:21 And a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob
under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches
of the same, according to the six branches proceeding from it.
37:22 Their knobs and their branches were of the same: all of it
[was] one beaten work [of] pure gold.
37:23 And he made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its
snuff-dishes, [of] pure gold.
37:24 [Of] a talent of pure gold he made it, and all its
vessels.
37:25 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 hight of it; the
horns of it were of the same.
37:26 And he overlaid it with pure gold, [both] the top of it,
and its sides round about, and its horns: also he made to it a
crown of gold round about.
37:27 And he made two rings of gold for it under its crown, by
the two corners of it, upon its two sides, to be places for the
staffs to bear it with.
37:28 And he made the staffs [of] shittim wood, and overlaid
them with gold.
37:29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense
of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.
38:1 And he made the altar of burnt-offering [of] shittim wood:
five cubits [was] the length of it, and five cubits the breadth
of it; [it was] foursquare; and its hight was three cubits.
38:2 And he made its horns on the four corners of it; its horns
were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.
38:3 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the
shovels, and the basins, [and] the flesh-hooks, and the
fire-pans: all the vessels of it he made [of] brass.
38:4 And he made for the altar a brazen grate of net-work under
the compass of it beneath to the midst of it.
38:5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of
brass, [to be] places for the staffs.
38:6 And he made the staffs [of] shittim wood, and overlaid them
with brass.
38:7 And he put the staffs into the rings on the sides of the
altar, to bear it with; he made the altar hollow with boards.
38:8 And he made the laver [of] brass, and the foot of it [of]
brass, of the looking-glasses of [the women] assembling, who
assembled [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
38:9 And he made the court: on the south side southward the
hangings of the court [were of] fine twined linen, a hundred
cubits:
38:10 Their pillars [were] twenty, and their brazen sockets
twenty; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, [were of]
silver.
38:11 And for the north side, [the hangings were] a hundred
cubits, their pillars [were] twenty, and their sockets of brass
twenty: the hooks of the pillars, and their filets, [of]
silver.
38:12 And for the west side [were] hangings of fifty cubits,
their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the
pillars, and their fillets, [of] silver.
38:13 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
38:14 The hangings of the one side [of the gate were] fifteen
cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
38:15 And for the other side of the court-gate, on this hand and
that hand, [were] hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars
three, and their sockets three.
38:16 All the hangings of the court round about [were] of fine
twined linen.
38:17 And the sockets for the pillars [were of] brass; the hooks
of the pillars, and their fillets, [of] silver; and the
overlaying of their capitals [of] silver; and all the pillars
of the court [were] filleted with silver.
38:18 And the hanging for the gate of the court [was]
needle-work, [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
twined linen: and twenty cubits [was] the length, and the hight
in the breadth [was] five cubits, answerable to the hangings of
the court.
38:19 And their pillars [were] four, and their sockets [of]
brass four; their hooks [of] silver, and the overlaying of
their capitals and their fillets [of] silver.
38:20 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round
about, [were of] brass.
38:21 This is the sum of the tabernacle, [even] of the
tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the
commandment of Moses, [for] the service of the Levites, by the
hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.
38:22 And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe
of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.
38:23 And with him [was] Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe
of Dan, an engraver, and a skillful workman, and an embroiderer
in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.
38:24 All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the
work of the holy [place], even the gold of the offering, was
twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels,
after the shekel of the sanctuary.
38:25 And the silver of them that were numbered of the
congregation [was] a hundred talents, and a thousand seven
hundred and seventy five shekels, after the shekel of the
sanctuary:
38:26 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].
38:27 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets
of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; a hundred
sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
38:28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five
[shekels] he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their
capitals, and filleted them.
38:29 And the brass of the offering [was] seventy talents, and
two thousand and four hundred shekels.
38:30 And with this he made the sockets to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and the brazen altar, and the
brazen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,
38:31 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.
39:1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made clothes
of service, to do service in the holy [place], and made the
holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.
39:2 And he made the ephod [of] gold, blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and fine twined linen.
39:3 And they 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] curious work.
39:4 They made shoulder-pieces for it, to couple [it] together:
by the two edges was it coupled together.
39:5 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.
39:6 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold,
graven as signets are graven, with the names of the children of
Israel.
39:7 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.
39:8 And he made the breast-plate [of] curious work, like the
work of the ephod; [of] gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine twined linen.
39:9 It was foursquare; they made the breast-plate double: a
span [was] the length of it, and a span the breadth of it,
[being] doubled.
39:10 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.
39:11 And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
39:12 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
39:13 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: [they
were] inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
39:14 And the stones [were] according to the names of the
children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, [like]
the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according
to the twelve tribes.
39:15 And they made upon the breast-plate chains at the ends,
[of] wreathed work [of] pure gold.
39:16 And they made two ouches [of] gold, and two gold rings,
and put the two rings in the two ends of the breast-plate.
39:17 And they put the two wreathed chains of gold in the two
rings on the ends of the breast-plate.
39:18 And the two ends of the two wreathed chains they fastened
in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the
ephod, before it.
39:19 And they made two rings of gold, and put [them] on the two
ends of the breast-plate, upon the border of it, which [was] on
the side of the ephod inward.
39:20 And they made two [other] golden rings, and put them on
the two sides of the ephod underneath, towards the forepart of
it, over against the [other] coupling thereof, above the
curious girdle of the ephod:
39:21 And they bound the breast-plate by its rings to the rings
of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the
curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breast-plate might
not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
39:22 And he made the robe of the ephod [of] woven work, all
[of] blue.
39:23 And [there was] a hole in the midst of the robe, as the
hole of an habergeon, [with] a band around the hole, that it
should not rend.
39:24 And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates [of]
blue, and purple, and scarlet, [and] twined [linen].
39:25 And they made bells [of] pure gold, and put the bells
between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, around
between the pomegranates;
39:26 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around
the hem of the robe to minister [in]; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
39:27 And they made coats [of] fine linen, [of] woven work, for
Aaron and for his sons,
39:28 And a miter [of] fine linen, and goodly bonnets [of] fine
linen, and linen breeches [of] fine twined linen,
39:29 And a girdle [of] fine twined linen, and blue, and purple,
and scarlet, [of] needle-work; as the LORD commanded Moses.
39:30 And they made the plate of the holy crown [of] pure gold,
and wrote upon it a writing, [like to] the engravings of a
signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
39:31 And they tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten [it] on high
upon the miter; as the LORD commanded Moses.
39:32 Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the
congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according
to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
39:33 And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent, and
all its furniture, its buttons, its boards, its bars, and its
pillars, and its sockets,
39:34 And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering
of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,
39:35 The ark of the testimony, and its staffs, and the
mercy-seat,
39:36 The table, [and] all its vessels, and the show-bread,
39:37 The pure candlestick, [with] its lamps, [even with] the
lamps to be set in order, and all its vessels, and the oil for
light,
39:38 And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet
incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle-door,
39:39 The brazen altar, and its grate of brass, its staffs, and
all its vessels, the laver and its foot,
39:40 The hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets,
and the hanging for the court-gate, its cords, and its pins,
and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the
tent of the congregation,
39:41 The clothes of service to do service in the holy [place],
and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons'
garments, to minister in the priest's office.
39:42 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the
children of Israel made all the work.
39:43 And Moses looked upon all the work, and behold, they had
done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it:
and Moses blessed them.
40:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
40:2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the
tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
40:3 And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony, and
cover the ark with the vail.
40:4 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 its lamps.
40:5 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.
40:6 And thou shalt set the altar of the, burnt-offering before
the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
40:7 And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the
congregation and the altar, and shalt put water in it.
40:8 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up
the hanging at the court-gate.
40:9 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the
tabernacle, and all that [is] in it, and shalt hallow it, and
all its vessels: and it shall be holy.
40:10 And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt-offering and
all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an
altar most holy.
40:11 And thou shalt anoint the laver and its foot, and sanctify
it.
40:12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
40:13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and
anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister to me in the
priest's office.
40:14 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
40:15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their
father, that they may minister to me in the priest's office:
for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood
throughout their generations.
40:16 Thus did Moses; according to all that the LORD commanded
him, so did he.
40:17 And it came to pass in the first month, in the second
year, on the first [day] of the month, [that] the tabernacle
was reared up.
40:18 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened its
sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and reared
up its pillars.
40:19 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put
the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
40:20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set
the staffs on the ark, and put the mercy-seat above upon the
ark:
40:21 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.
40:22 And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon
the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
40:23 And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as
the LORD had commanded Moses.
40:24 And he put the candlestick in the tent of the
congregation, over against the table, on the side of the
tabernacle southward.
40:25 And he lighted the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD
commanded Moses.
40:26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the
congregation, before the vail:
40:27 And he burnt sweet incense on it; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
40:28 And he set up the hanging [at] the door of the tabernacle.
40:29 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.
40:30 And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation
and the altar, and put water there, to wash [with].
40:31 And Moses, and Aaron, and his sons, washed their hands and
their feet thereat:
40:32 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when
they came near to the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
40:33 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.
40:34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the
glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
40:35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the
congregation, because the cloud abode upon it, and the glory of
the LORD filled the tabernacle.
40:36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle,
the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
40:37 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not
till the day that it was taken up.
40:38 For the cloud of the LORD [was] upon the tabernacle by
day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house
of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
