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