Exodus 1:1 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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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?
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 14:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth,
between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp
by the sea.
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 Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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
Jehovahnissi:
16 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that
the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus
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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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, 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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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
cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy
seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward
the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.
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.
Exodus 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

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,

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

thereof thou shalt make of brass.
4 And thou shalt make for it

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

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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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.
Exodus 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 unto me in the priest's
office.
31 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
32 Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any
other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it
shall be holy unto you.
33 Whosoever compoundeth any like it,
or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off
from his people.
34 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet
spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure
frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight:
35 And thou
shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered
together, pure and holy:
36 And thou shalt beat some of
it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the
congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
37 And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to
yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for
the LORD.
38 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto,
shall even be cut off from his people.
Exodus 31:1 And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of
Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
3 And I have filled him
with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and
in all manner of workmanship,
4 To devise cunning works, to work in
gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5 And in cutting of stones, to set
them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
6 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the
tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom,
that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
7 The tabernacle of
the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is
thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
8 And the table
and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the
altar of incense,
9 And the altar of burnt offering with all his
furniture, and the laver and his foot,
10 And the cloths of service,
and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to
minister in the priest's office,
11 And the anointing oil, and sweet
incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee
shall they do.
12 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
13
Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall
keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations;
that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you:
every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth
any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15
Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest,
holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall
surely be put to death.
16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall
keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for
a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the
children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and
earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
18 And he
gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai,
two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
Exodus 32:1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of
the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto
him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses,
the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become
of him.
2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings,
which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters,
and bring them unto me.
3 And all the people brake off the
golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto
Aaron.
4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it
with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These
be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made
proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
6 And
they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace
offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
7 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which
thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they
have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed
thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee
up out of the land of Egypt.
9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have
seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
10
Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I
may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
11 And Moses
besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against
thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great
power, and with a mighty hand?
12 Wherefore should the Egyptians
speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the
mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce
wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
13 Remember
Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own
self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven,
and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they
shall inherit it for ever.
14 And the LORD repented of the evil
which he thought to do unto his people.
15 And Moses turned, and went
down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his
hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on
the other were they written.
16 And the tables were the
work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the
tables.
17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they
shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
18 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for
mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being
overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.
19
And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the
calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of
his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
20 And he took the calf
which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to
powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel
drink of it.
21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people
unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
22 And
Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that
they are set on mischief.
23 For they said unto me, Make us
gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that
brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it
off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out
this calf.
25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked;
(for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the
LORD'S side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered
themselves together unto him.
27 And he said unto them, Thus saith the
LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and
out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and
every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
28 And the
children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the
people that day about three thousand men.
29 For Moses had said,
Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon
his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
30 And
it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a
great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an
atonement for your sin.
31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said,
Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray
thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
33 And the LORD said
unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have
spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the
day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
35 And the LORD
plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
Exodus
33:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and
the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land
which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I
give it:
2 And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out
the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and
the Jebusite:
3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will
not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I
consume thee in the way.
4 And when the people heard these evil
tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
5 For
the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a
stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and
consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know
what to do unto thee.
6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves
of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
7 And Moses took the
tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called
it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every
one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation,
which was without the camp.
8 And it came to pass, when Moses
went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood
every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone
into the tabernacle.
9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the
tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the
tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses.
10 And all the
people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the
people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
11
And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend.
And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a
young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
12 And Moses said unto
the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let
me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name,
and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
13 Now therefore, I pray
thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know
thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is
thy people.
14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and
I will give thee rest.
15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not
with me, carry us not up hence.
16 For wherein shall it be known
here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in
that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all
the people that are upon the face of the earth.
17 And the LORD
said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast
found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
18 And he said, I
beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
19 And he said, I will make all my
goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee;
and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I
will shew mercy.
20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there
shall no man see me, and live.
21 And the LORD said, Behold, there
is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it
shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift
of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23 And
I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall
not be seen.
Exodus 34:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two
tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables
the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.
2 And be
ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present
thyself there to me in the top of the mount.
3 And no man shall come
up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let
the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.
4 And he hewed two tables
of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went
up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two
tables of stone.
5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with
him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
6 And the LORD passed
by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious,
longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
7 Keeping mercy for
thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no
means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth
generation.
8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the
earth, and worshipped.
9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy
sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a
stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine
inheritance.
10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy
people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in
any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of
the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
11
Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee
the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the
Hivite, and the Jebusite.
12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a
covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a
snare in the midst of thee:
13 But ye shall destroy their altars,
break their images, and cut down their groves:
14 For thou shalt
worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a
jealous God:
15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the
land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods,
and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
16 And thou
take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after
their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
17 Thou
shalt make thee no molten gods.
18 The feast of unleavened bread shalt
thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in
the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
19 All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy
cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
20 But the
firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him
not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt
redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
21 Six days thou shalt
work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou
shalt rest.
22 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the
firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
23 Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord
GOD, the God of Israel.
24 For I will cast out the nations before
thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou
shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.
25
Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the
sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
26
The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the
LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
27 And
the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these
words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
28 And he was
there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor
drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten
commandments.
29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount
Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from
the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked
with him.
30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses,
behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.
31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the
congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.
32 And
afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment
all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
33 And till
Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.
34 But
when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off,
until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel
that which he was commanded.
35 And the children of Israel saw the
face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon
his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
Exodus 35:1 And
Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said
unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye
should do them.
2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day
there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever
doeth work therein shall be put to death.
3 Ye shall kindle no fire
throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.
4 And Moses spake
unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the
thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
5 Take ye from among you an
offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring
it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,
6 And blue,
and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
7 And
rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
8 And oil
for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
9
And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
10 And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD
hath commanded;
11 The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his
taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
12 The
ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the
covering,
13 The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the
shewbread,
14 The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture,
and his lamps, with the oil for the light,
15 And the incense altar,
and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging
for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle,
16 The altar of
burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the
laver and his foot,
17 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and
their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,
18 The pins
of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,
19 The
cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for
Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's
office.
20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed
from the presence of Moses.
21 And they came, every one whose heart
stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they
brought the LORD'S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation,
and for all his service, and for the holy garments.
22 And they came,
both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought
bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every
man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.
23
And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins,
brought them.
24 Every one that did offer an offering of silver
and brass brought the LORD'S offering: and every man, with whom was found
shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.
25 And
all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that
which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet,
and of fine linen.
26 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in
wisdom spun goats' hair.
27 And the rulers brought onyx stones,
and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
28 And
spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet
incense.
29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the
LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner
of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
30
And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name
Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
31 And
he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in
knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
32 And to devise curious
works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
33 And in the
cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any
manner of cunning work.
34 And he hath put in his heart that he may
teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of
the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and
in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them
that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.
Exodus 36:1
Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD
put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the
service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded.
2
And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose
heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up
to come unto the work to do it:
3 And they received of Moses all the
offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service
of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him free
offerings every morning.
4 And all the wise men, that wrought all the
work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;
5
And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for
the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.
6 And Moses
gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp,
saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the
sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.
7 For the
stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
8
And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle
made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and
scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.
9 The
length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one
curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.
10 And
he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five
curtains he coupled one unto another.
11 And he made loops of blue on
the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in
the uttermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.
12 Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge
of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held
one curtain to another.
13 And he made fifty taches of gold,
and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one
tabernacle.
14 And he made curtains of goats' hair for
the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
15 The
length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the
breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.
16
And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
17 And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the
coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth
the second.
18 And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the
tent together, that it might be one.
19 And he made a covering for the
tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins
above that.
20 And he made boards for the tabernacle of
shittim wood, standing up.
21 The length of a board was ten
cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.
22 One board
had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the
boards of the tabernacle.
23 And he made boards for the tabernacle;
twenty boards for the south side southward:
24 And forty sockets of
silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two
tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.
25 And
for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner,
he made twenty boards,
26 And their forty sockets of silver; two
sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27 And
for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28 And
two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
29
And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one
ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
30 And there
were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver,
under every board two sockets.
31 And he made bars of shittim wood;
five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32 And five
bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the
boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.
33 And he made the
middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.
34
And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to
be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
35 And he
made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen:
with cherubims made he it of cunning work.
36 And he made
thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with
gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of
silver.
37 And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of
blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;
38
And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and
their fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass.
Exodus 37:1 And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and
a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it,
and a cubit and a half the height of it:
2 And he overlaid it with
pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four
corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the
other side of it.
4 And he made staves of shittim wood, and
overlaid them with gold.
5 And he put the staves into the rings by the
sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6 And he made the mercy seat of
pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit
and a half the breadth thereof.
7 And he made two cherubims of
gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;
8 One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other
end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends
thereof.
9 And the cherubims spread out their wings on high,
and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to
another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.
10 And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the
length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the
height thereof:
11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made
thereunto a crown of gold round about.
12 Also he made thereunto a
border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border
thereof round about.
13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put
the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.
14 Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear
the table.
15 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and
overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
16 And he made the vessels
which were upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and
his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.
17 And he made the
candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick;
his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the
same:
18 And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three
branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of
the candlestick out of the other side thereof:
19 Three bowls made
after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls
made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six
branches going out of the candlestick.
20 And in the candlestick
were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:
21
And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the
same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches
going out of it.
22 Their knops and their branches were of the same:
all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.
23 And he
made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure
gold.
24 Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the
vessels thereof.
25 And he made the incense altar of shittim
wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it
was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns
thereof were of the same.
26 And he overlaid it with pure gold,
both the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it:
also he made unto it a crown of gold round about.
27 And he made two
rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the
two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it withal.
28
And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices,
according to the work of the apothecary.
Exodus 38:1 And he made the
altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the
length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare;
and three cubits the height thereof.
2 And he made the horns thereof
on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid
it with brass.
3 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots,
and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans:
all the vessels thereof made he of brass.
4 And he made for the
altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst
of it.
5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of
brass, to be places for the staves.
6 And he made the staves
of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.
7 And he put the
staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the
altar hollow with boards.
8 And he made the laver of brass, and
the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women
assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
9 And he made the court: on the south side southward
the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:
10 Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the
hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
11 And
for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars
were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and
their fillets of silver.
12 And for the west side were
hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of
the pillars and their fillets of silver.
13 And for the east
side eastward fifty cubits.
14 The hangings of the one side of the
gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15 And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand,
were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets
three.
16 All the hangings of the court round about were of
fine twined linen.
17 And the sockets for the pillars were of
brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the
overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the court
were filleted with silver.
18 And the hanging for the gate of the
court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the
breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.
19 And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass
four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and
their fillets of silver.
20 And all the pins of the tabernacle,
and of the court round about, were of brass.
21 This is the sum
of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was
counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the
Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.
22 And
Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that
the LORD commanded Moses.
23 And with him was Aholiab, son of
Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an
embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.
24
All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place,
even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred
and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
25 And the
silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred
talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after
the shekel of the sanctuary:
26 A bekah for every man, that is,
half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be
numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three
thousand and five hundred and fifty men.
27 And of the hundred
talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the
vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
28
And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the
pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.
29 And the
brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four
hundred shekels.
30 And therewith he made the sockets to the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate
for it, and all the vessels of the altar,
31 And the sockets of the
court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the
tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.
Exodus 39:1 And
of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service
in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3 And they did beat the
gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the
blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with
cunning work.
4 They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it
together: by the two edges was it coupled together.
5 And the curious
girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according
to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
6 And they wrought onyx
stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names
of the children of Israel.
7 And he put them on the shoulders of the
ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of
Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
8 And he made the breastplate
of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 It was foursquare; they
made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span
the breadth thereof, being doubled.
10 And they set in it four
rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a
carbuncle: this was the first row.
11 And the second row, an
emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12 And the third row, a ligure, an
agate, and an amethyst.
13 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a
jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
14 And the stones were according to the names of the children of
Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a
signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
15
And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work
of pure gold.
16 And they made two ouches of gold, and two
gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.
17
And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the
breastplate.
18 And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they
fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod,
before it.
19 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on
the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the
side of the ephod inward.
20 And they made two other golden
rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the
forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the
curious girdle of the ephod.
21 And they did bind the breastplate by
his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be
above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be
loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 And he made the
robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
23 And
there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon,
with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.
24 And
they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and twined linen.
25 And they made bells of
pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe,
round about between the pomegranates;
26 A bell and a pomegranate, a
bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in;
as the LORD commanded Moses.
27 And they made coats of fine
linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
28 And a mitre
of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches
of fine twined linen,
29 And a girdle of fine twined linen,
and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
30 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure
gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet,
HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
31 And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to
fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
32
Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation
finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD
commanded Moses, so did they.
33 And they brought the tabernacle unto
Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and
his pillars, and his sockets,
34 And the covering of rams' skins dyed
red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,
35
The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,
36
The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,
37
The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps
to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,
38
And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the
hanging for the tabernacle door,
39 The brasen altar, and his grate
of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
40
The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the
court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the
tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,
41 The cloths of service
to do service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the
priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office.
42
According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made
all the work.
43 And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold,
they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses
blessed them.
Exodus 40:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of
the tent of the congregation.
3 And thou shalt put therein the ark of
the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
4 And thou shalt bring
in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it;
and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
5
And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the
testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
6 And
thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle
of the tent of the congregation.
7 And thou shalt set the laver
between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.
8 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at
the court gate.
9 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint
the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the
vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.
10 And thou shalt anoint the
altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it
shall be an altar most holy.
11 And thou shalt anoint the laver and
his foot, and sanctify it.
12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and
sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
14
And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
15 And thou
shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister
unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an
everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
16 Thus did
Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
17 And
it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day
of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
18 And Moses
reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards
thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.
19
And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the
tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
20 And he took and
put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy
seat above upon the ark:
21 And he brought the ark into the
tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the
testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 And he put the table in the
tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the
vail.
23 And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the
LORD had commanded Moses.
24 And he put the candlestick in the tent of
the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle
southward.
25 And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the
congregation before the vail:
27 And he burnt sweet incense thereon;
as the LORD commanded Moses.
28 And he set up the hanging at
the door of the tabernacle.
29 And he put the altar of burnt offering
by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered
upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar,
and put water there, to wash withal.
31 And Moses and Aaron and
his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
32 When they went
into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they
washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
33 And he reared up the court
round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court
gate. So Moses finished the work.
34 Then a cloud covered the tent of
the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35
And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the
cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
36
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel
went onward in all their journeys:
37 But if the cloud were not taken
up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
38 For
the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it
by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their
journeys.
