ABP - Exodus

Chapter 1

1:1  These are the names of the sons of Israel of the ones entering into Egypt together with Jacob their father; each of them sojourning entered.

1:2  Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,

1:3  Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin,

1:4  Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

1:5  But Joseph was in Egypt. And were all the souls coming forth from Jacob -- five and seventy.

1:6  [3came to an end 1And 2Joseph], and all his brothers, and all that generation.

1:7  And the sons of Israel grew and multiplied, and [2extensive 1became], and grew strong exceedingly, exceedingly. [4multiplied 1And 2the 3land] of them.

1:8  [4rose up 1And 3king 2another] over Egypt who did not know Joseph.

1:9  And he said to his nation, Behold, the race of the sons of Israel are a great multitude, and they are strong above us.

1:10  Come then we should deal subtly with them, lest at any time they should multiply, and whenever [3to us 2may come to pass 1a war], [2will add 1these also] to the opponents, and waging war against us they shall go forth from the land.

1:11  And he set to them supervisors over the works, that they might afflict them in their works. And they built [2cities 1fortified] to Pharaoh -- Pithom and Raamses, and On which is Heliopolis.

1:12  And in so far as they humbled them by so much, [2many more 1they became]. And they were strong exceedingly, exceedingly. And [3were abhorred 1the 2Egyptians] of the sons of Israel.

1:13  And [3tyrannized 1the 2Egyptians] the sons of Israel by force.

1:14  And they grievously afflicted them by the life in the [2works 1hard] in the mortar, and in the making of bricks, and in all the works in the plains, according to all the works which they were reducing them to slavery with force.

1:15  And [5said 1the 2king 3of the 4Egyptians] to the midwives of the Hebrews, to a certain one of them with the name Shiphrah, and the name of the second Puah.

1:16  And he said to them, Whenever you act as midwife to the Hebrews, and they should be about to bear, if then it should be a male, you kill it! But if a female, preserve it!

1:17  [4feared 1But 2the 3midwives] God, and they did not do in so far as [4ordered 5them 1the 2king 3of Egypt]. And they brought forth alive the males.

1:18  [5called 1And 2the 3king 4of Egypt] the midwives, and said to them, Why is it that you did this thing, and brought forth alive the males?

1:19  [4said 1And 2the 3midwives] to Pharaoh, Not as the women of Egypt are the Hebrews, for they give birth before [3entered 4to 5them 1the 2midwives], and they bear.

1:20  [3good 1And 2God did] to the midwives. And he multiplied the people, and it became strong exceedingly.

1:21  Since [3feared 1the 2midwives] God, they made to themselves families.

1:22  [3gave orders 1And 2Pharaoh] to all his people, saying, Every male who ever should be born to the Hebrews [2into 3the 4river 1toss], and every female bring it forth alive!

Chapter 2

2:1  And there was a certain man from the tribe of Levi, and he took of the daughters of Levi, and had her.

2:2  And [2in 3the womb 1she conceived], and bore a male. And seeing that it was fair, they sheltered it [2months 1three].

2:3  But when they were not able [2it 3any longer 1to hide], [2took 3for him 1his mother] a wicker basket of papyrus, and besmeared it with tar, and put the male child into it, and put it into the marsh by the river.

2:4  And [2spied out 1his sister] far off to learn what would result to him.

2:5  [5went down 1And 2the 3daughter 4of Pharaoh] to bathe upon the river, and her handmaidens came near unto the river. And they saw the wicker basket in the marsh, and she sent the handmaiden to take it up.

2:6  And opening, she sees a male child weeping in the wicker basket. And [4spared 5him 1the 2daughter 3of Pharaoh], and said, [2from 3the 4male children 5of the 6Hebrews 1This one is].

2:7  And [2said 1his sister] to the daughter of Pharaoh, If you want I will call for you a woman nursing from the Hebrews, and she will suckle for you the male child.

2:8  And [4said 5to her 1the 2daughter 3of Pharaoh], Go! And going, the young woman called the mother of the male child.

2:9  [5said 1And 6to 7her 2the 3daughter 4of Pharaoh], Carefully keep for me this male child, and suckle it for me, and I will give to you the wage. [4took 1And 2the 3woman] the male child, and suckled it.

2:10  [4maturing 1And 2the 3male child], she brought it to the daughter of Pharaoh. And he became to her for a son. And she named his name Moses. Saying, For from the water I took him up.

2:11  And it came to pass in [3days 2many 1those], [3older 2becoming 1Moses], he went forth to his brethren of the sons of Israel. And contemplating their misery, he saw an Egyptian man beating a certain Hebrew of his own brethren of the sons of Israel.

2:12  And looking about here on this side and here on that side he did not see anyone. And striking the Egyptian, he hid him in the sand.

2:13  And coming forth the [2day 1second], he saw two men, Hebrews skirmishing. And he says to the one in the wrong, Why do you beat your neighbor?

2:14  And he said, Who placed you magistrate and judge over us? Is it that [3to do away with 4me 1you 2want] in which manner you did away yesterday with the Egyptian? [3feared 1And 2Moses], and said, Surely thus [3apparent 2has become 1this thing].

2:15  [3heard about 1And 2Pharaoh] this thing, and he sought to do away with Moses. [3withdrew 1But 2Moses] from the face of Pharaoh, and he dwelt in the land of Midian. And coming into the land of Midian, he sat at the well.

2:16  And to the priest of Midian there were seven daughters tending the sheep of their father Jethro. And they came to draw water until they filled the troughs to water the sheep of their father Jethro.

2:17  And coming, the shepherds cast them away. [3rose up 1But 2Moses] to rescue them, and he drew water for them, and he watered their sheep.

2:18  And they came to Reuel their father. And he said to them, Why is it that you hastened to come today?

2:19  And they said, An Egyptian man rescued us from the shepherds, and he drew water for us, and he watered our sheep.

2:20  And he said to his daughters, And where is he, and why thus have you left the man? You call him indeed! that he may eat bread.

2:21  [3settled 1And 2Moses] by the man. And he handed over Zipporah his daughter to Moses as wife.

2:22  [3in 4the womb 1And 2conceiving], the woman bore a son, and Moses named his name Gershom, saying that, I am a sojourner in [2land 1an alien]. And still again conceiving, she bore [2son 1a second], and he called his name Eliezer, saying that, the God of my father, my helper, also rescued me from the hand of Pharaoh.

2:23  And after [3days 2many 1those], [4came to an end 1the 2king 3of Egypt], and [4groaned 1the 2sons 3of Israel] from the works, and yelled out. And [2ascended 1their yell] to God because of the works.

2:24  And God listened to their moaning, and God remembered his covenant, the one with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob.

2:25  And God looked upon the sons of Israel, and he was made known to them.

Chapter 3

3:1  And Moses was tending the sheep of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the sheep by the wilderness. And he came unto the mountain of God -- Horeb.

3:2  And appeared to him an angel of the lord in flaming fire from out of the bush. and he saw that the bush burned with fire, but the bush did not incinerate.

3:3  [3said 1And 2Moses], Going by I will see [2vision 1this great]. Why is it that [3is not 4incinerated 1the 2bush].

3:4  And as the lord saw that he neared to see, [2called 3him 1the lord] from out of the bush, saying, Moses, Moses. And he said, What is it?

3:5  And he said, You should not approach here. Untie the sandal from your feet, for the place in which you stand [2ground 1is holy].

3:6  And he said to him, I am the God of your father; the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. [3turned 1And 2Moses] his face, for he venerated to look in the presence of God.

3:7  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, In seeing, I saw the ill-treatment of my people in Egypt, and their cry I have heard because of the foremen. For I have seen their grief.

3:8  And I came down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians, and to lead them from out of that land, and to bring them into a land good and populous; into a land flowing milk and honey; into the place of the Canaanites, and Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Gergesites, and Hivites, and Jebusites.

3:9  And now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel is come to me. And I have seen the affliction by which the Egyptians afflict them.

3:10  And now, come, I shall send you to Pharaoh king of Egypt. And you shall lead my people the sons of Israel from out of the land of Egypt.

3:11  And Moses said to God, Who am I that I shall go to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and that I shall lead out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt?

3:12  [3said 1And 2God] to Moses, saying that, I will be with you. And this will be to you the sign that I send you in your leading my people from out of Egypt, and you shall serve God in this mountain.

3:13  And Moses said to God, Behold, I will go to the sons of Israel, and I shall say to them, The God of our fathers sent me to you. And if they shall ask me, What is the name given to him? What shall I say to them?

3:14  And God said to Moses, I am the one being. And he said, Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, The one being has sent me to you.

3:15  And God said again to Moses, Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, The lord God of our fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob sent me to you; this is my [2name 1eternal], and a memorial for generations to generations.

3:16  Going then, gather the council of elders of the sons of Israel! And you shall say to them, The lord God of our fathers appeared to me; the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, saying, In overseeing I have watched you, and as much as has come to pass to you in Egypt.

3:17  And he said, I will haul you from the ill treatment of the Egyptians into the land of the Canaanites, and Hittites, and Hivites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Gergesites, and Jebusites, into a land flowing milk and honey.

3:18  And they shall hearken to your voice. And you shall enter, and the council of elders of Israel, to Pharaoh king of Egypt. And you shall say to him, The lord God of the Hebrews calls us. We shall go then on [3journey 1a three 2days] into the wilderness, that we might sacrifice to the lord our God.

3:19  But I know that [4will not 5let you go 1Pharaoh 2king 3of Egypt], [2going 1unless] with [2hand 1a fortified],

3:20  and stretching out my hand to strike the Egyptians in all my wonders, which I will do among them. And after these things I will send you out.

3:21  And I will give favor to this people before the Egyptians. And whenever you might run from them, you will not go forth empty.

3:22  But [2will ask 1a woman] from [2neighbor 3and 4fellow tent-dweller 1her] of items of silver, and of gold, and clothes. And you will place them upon your sons, and upon your daughters, and you will despoil the Egyptians.

Chapter 4

4:1  [3answered 1And 2Moses] and said, If then they should not believe me, nor listen to my voice, for they shall say that [2did not 3appear 4to you 1God], what shall I say to them?

4:2  [3said 1And 4to him 2the lord], What is this the thing in your hand? And he said, A rod.

4:3  And he said to him, Toss it upon the ground! And he tossed it upon the ground, and it became a serpent. And Moses fled from it.

4:4  And the lord said to Moses, Stretch out the hand, and take hold of the tail! Stretching out then the hand, he took hold of the tail, and it became a rod in his hand --

4:5  that they might trust you that there appeared to you the lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

4:6  [3said 1And 4to him 2the lord] again, Insert your hand into your bosom! And he inserted his hand into his bosom. And he brought it from out of his bosom, and [2was 1his hand] leprous as snow.

4:7  And [2said 3again 4to him 1the lord], Insert your hand into your bosom! And he inserted the hand into his bosom. And he brought it out of his bosom, and again it was restored unto the complexion of his flesh.

4:8  And if they do not believe you, nor hearken to the voice of the [2sign 1first], they will believe you by the voice of the [2sign 1second].

4:9  And it will be if they do not believe you in [2two 3signs 1these], nor hearken to your voice, you shall take from the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land. And [8will be 3water 1which 2ever 4you should take 5from 6the 7river] blood upon the dry land.

4:10  [3said 1And 2Moses] to the lord, I beseech, O lord, [2not 3fit 1I am] before yesterday nor before the third day, nor from which time you began to speak to your attendant, [3weak voiced 4and 5slow of tongue 1for I 2am].

4:11  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Who gave [2a mouth 1man], and who made the hard of hearing and mute, the seeing, and blind? Was it not I the lord God?

4:12  And now go! And I will open your mouth, and I will instruct you what you will be about to speak.

4:13  And Moses said, I beseech, O lord, to handpick another one able whom you shall send.

4:14  And [2being enraged 3in anger 1the lord] over Moses, said, Behold, is not Aaron your brother, the Levite? I know that speaking, he will speak to you. And behold, he will come forth to meet you; and seeing you, he will rejoice in himself.

4:15  And you will say to him, and you will put my words into his mouth. And I will open your mouth and his mouth, and I will instruct you what you shall do.

4:16  And he shall speak the things to the people, and he will be your mouth. But you will be to him the things for God.

4:17  And this rod, the one turning into a serpent, you shall take in your hand in which you will do by it the signs.

4:18  [3went 1And 2Moses], and he returned to Jethro his father-in-law. And he says, I will go, and return to my brethren, the ones in Egypt, and I will see if they still live. And Jethro said to Moses, Proceed, be in health! But after [2days 1those many] [4came to an end 1the 2king 3of Egypt].

4:19  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses in the land of Midian, Proceed, go forth into Egypt! For have died all the ones seeking your life.

4:20  [3took up 1And 2Moses] his wife and the male children, and he hauled them upon the beasts of burden, and turned to Egypt. [3took 1And 2Moses] the rod, the one by God in his hand.

4:21  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, In your going and returning unto Egypt, discover all the miracles which I have put in your hand, to do them before Pharaoh. But I will harden his heart, and no way shall he send out the people.

4:22  But you will say to Pharaoh, Thus says the lord -- son of my first-born, Israel.

4:23  And I said to you, Send my people! that they should serve me. If indeed then you should not be willing to send them, see then! I will kill your son, the first-born!

4:24  And it came to pass during the journey in the lodging, [3met 4him 1an angel 2of the lord], and sought to kill him.

4:25  And Zipporah, taking a small sharp stone, circumcised the foreskin of her son. And she fell at his feet, and said, [6is stopped 1The 2blood 3of the 4circumcision 5of my male child].

4:26  And [3went forth 4from 5him 1the 2angel], for she said, [6is stopped 1The 2blood 3of the 4circumcision 5of my male child].

4:27  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Aaron, Go to meet with Moses in the wilderness! And he went, and he met with him in the mountain of God, and they kissed one another.

4:28  And Moses announced to Aaron all the words of the lord which he sent to him, and all the signs which he gave charge to him.

4:29  [5went 1And 2Moses 3and 4Aaron], and brought together the council of elders of the sons of Israel.

4:30  And Aaron spoke all the words which God spoke to Moses. And he did the signs before the people.

4:31  And [3believed 1the 2people], and rejoiced that God visited the sons of Israel, and that he saw their affliction. And bowing, the people did obeisance.

Chapter 5

5:1  And after these things [4entered 1Moses 2and 3Aaron] to Pharaoh, and they said to him, Thus says the lord God of Israel. Send forth my people! that they may solemnize a holiday to me in the wilderness.

5:2  And Pharaoh said, Who is he, of whom I will listen to his voice so as to send out the sons of Israel? I do not know the lord, and [2Israel 1I will not send out].

5:3  And they say to him, The God of the Hebrews called on us. We will go then on a journey of three days into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the lord our God, lest at any time [4might meet with 5us 1death 2or 3murder].

5:4  And [4said 5to them 1the 2king 3of Egypt], Why do you, Moses and Aaron, turn aside the people from the works? Go forth each of you to his works!

5:5  And Pharaoh said, Behold, now [5are numerous 1The 2people 3of the 4land]; [2not 3then 1I shall] rest them from the works.

5:6  [3gave orders 1And 2Pharaoh] to the foremen of the people, and to the scribes, saying,

5:7  No longer will it be added to give straw to the people for the brickmaking, as yesterday and the third day before. Let them go and bring together for themselves the straw!

5:8  And the rate of the making of bricks which they produce each day, you shall put it upon them. You shall not remove any of them, for they are idle. On account of this they cry out, saying, We should go and sacrifice to our God.

5:9  Let [4be oppressive 1the 2works 3of these men], and let [2be anxious 1these men], and not anxious in [2words 1empty]!

5:10  And hastened of them the foremen, and the scribes of the people. And they said to the people, saying, Thus says Pharaoh, No longer do I give to you straw.

5:11  You yourselves in going, collect together for yourselves straw! from where ever you should find. For nothing is removed from your rate, not one thing.

5:12  And he dispersed the people in the entire land of Egypt to gather together stubble for straw.

5:13  But the foremen hastened them, saying, You complete the works, the ones fit according to the day, just as also when the straw was given to you.

5:14  And they were whipped -- the scribes of the race of the sons of Israel, the ones being placed over them by the supervisors of Pharaoh, and saying, Why did you not complete your rate of the making of bricks as also yesterday and the third day before and today?

5:15  And entering, the scribes of the sons of Israel yelled out to Pharaoh, saying, Why do you thus do to your servants?

5:16  Straw has not been given to your servants, and [3brick 1they tell us 2to make]. And behold, your servants have been whipped. Shall you wrong therefore your people?

5:17  And he said to them, You are idle, you are idlers. Because of this you say, We should go, we should sacrifice to the lord.

5:18  Now then, in going, work! For the straw [2to you 1shall not be given], and the rate for the making of bricks you shall render.

5:19  [7seeing 1And 2the 3scribes 4of the 5sons 6of Israel] themselves in bad ways, in the saying, You shall not leave off from the making of bricks fit for the day,

5:20  that they met Moses and Aaron coming to meet with them in their going forth from Pharaoh.

5:21  And they said to them, [2give 4over 1God 3you] and judge, for you caused [2to be abhorred 1our scent] before Pharaoh, and before his attendants, to put a broadsword into his hands to kill us.

5:22  [3turned 1And 2Moses] to the lord, and said, O lord, for why did you inflict evil on this people? And why have you sent me?

5:23  And when I went to Pharaoh to speak in the [2being to you 1name], he inflicted evil on this people, and you did not rescue your people.

Chapter 6

6:1  And the lord said to Moses, Already you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with [2hand 1a fortified] he shall send them; and with [2arm 1a high] he will cast them from out of his land.

6:2  [3spoke 1And 2God] to Moses, and said to him, I am the lord.

6:3  And I appeared to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, [3God 1being 2their]. And my name, the lord, was not manifested to them.

6:4  And I established my covenant with them, so as to give to them the land of Canaan, the land which they sojourned, in which also they sojourned upon it.

6:5  And I hearkened to the moaning of the sons of Israel, in which the Egyptians reduced them to slavery. And I remembered your covenant.

6:6  Proceed, say to the sons of Israel! saying, I am the lord, and I will lead you from the domination of the Egyptians, and I will rescue you from their slavery, and I will ransom you with [2arm 1a high] and [2judgment 1great].

6:7  And I will take you to myself as a people to me. And I will be your God. And you will know that I am the lord your God, the one leading you from out of the tyranny of the Egyptians.

6:8  And I will bring you into the land in which I stretched out my hand to give it to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob. And I will give it to you by lot. I am the lord.

6:9  [3spoke 1And 2Moses] thus to the sons of Israel, and they did not hearken to Moses because of faint-heartedness, and because of the [2works 1hard].

6:10  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, saying,

6:11  Enter, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt! that he may send out the sons of Israel from his land.

6:12  [3spoke 1And 2Moses] before the lord, saying, Behold, the sons of Israel do not listen to me, and how shall [2listen to 3me 1Pharaoh], for I am not reckoned?

6:13  [3spoke 1And 2the lord] to Moses and Aaron, and he ordered them to Pharaoh king of Egypt, so as to lead out the sons of Israel from out of the land of Egypt.

6:14  And these are the chiefs of the houses of their families. The sons of Reuben first-born of Israel -- Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi -- this is the kin of Reuben.

6:15  And the sons of Simeon -- Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the one from the Phoenician woman. These are the families of the sons of Simeon.

6:16  And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their kin -- Gershon, Kohath and Merari; and the years of the life of Levi -- a hundred thirty-seven years.

6:17  And these are the sons of Gershon -- Libni and Shimei; the houses of their family.

6:18  And the sons of Kohath -- Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel; and the years of the life of Kohath -- a hundred thirty years.

6:19  And the sons of Merari -- Mahli, and Mushi. These are the houses of the families of Levi, according to their kin.

6:20  And Amram took Jochebed daughter of the brother of his father to himself for a wife. And she bore to him also Aaron, and Moses, and Miriam their sister. And the years of the life of Amram -- a hundred thirty-seven years.

6:21  And the sons of Izhar -- Korah, and Nepheg, and Zithri.

6:22  And the sons of Uzziel -- Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.

6:23  [3took 1And 2Aaron] Elisheba daughter of Amminadab sister of Naahshon to himself as wife. And she bore to him also Nadab, and Abihu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.

6:24  And the sons of Korah -- Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasar. These are the generations of Korah.

6:25  And Eleazar the son of Aaron, took of the daughters of Putiel to himself as wife; and she bore to him Phinehas. These are the heads of the family of the Levites, according to their generations.

6:26  This Aaron and Moses, is whom God said to them to lead the sons of Israel from out of Egypt with their force.

6:27  These are the ones reasoning with Pharaoh king of Egypt, so as to lead the sons of Israel from out of Egypt -- Aaron himself and Moses,

6:28  in the day the lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt.

6:29  And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, I am the lord. Speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt as much as I tell to you!

6:30  And Moses said before the lord, Behold, I am weak-voiced, and how shall [2listen to 3me 1Pharaoh]?

Chapter 7

7:1  And the lord said to Moses, saying, Behold, I have made you as a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother will be your prophet.

7:2  But you shall speak to him all as much as I give charge to you. But Aaron your brother will speak to Pharaoh, so as to send the sons of Israel from out of his land.

7:3  But I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, and I will multiply my signs, and the miracles in the land of Egypt.

7:4  And [2will not listen to 3you 1Pharaoh], and I will put my hand against Egypt, and I will lead out with my power my people the sons of Israel from out of the land of Egypt with [2punishment 1great].

7:5  And [4shall know 1all 2the 3Egyptians] that I am the lord, stretching out my hand against Egypt; and I will lead the sons of Israel from their midst.

7:6  [5did 1And 2Moses 3and 4Aaron] just as [2gave charge 3to them 1the lord] -- thus they did.

7:7  And Moses was [2years old 1eighty], and Aaron was eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.

7:8  And the lord said to Moses and Aaron, saying,

7:9  And if [2should speak 3to 4you 1Pharaoh], saying, Give to us a sign or miracle, then [2Aaron shall say 1your brother], Take the rod and toss it upon the ground before Pharaoh, and before his attendants, and it will be a serpent.

7:10  [5entered 1And 2Moses 3and 4Aaron] before Pharaoh, and his attendants. And they did thus, as [2gave charge 3to them 1the lord]. And Aaron tossed the rod before Pharaoh, and before his attendants. And it became a serpent.

7:11  [3called together 1And 4the 5wise men 6of Egypt 2Pharaoh], and the sorcerers. And [6did 5also 1the 2enchanters 3of the 4Egyptians] their sorceries likewise.

7:12  And [2tossed 1each] his rod, and they became serpents. And [4swallowed down 1the 2rod 3of Aaron] the rods of those men.

7:13  And [4grew strong 1the 2heart 3of Pharaoh], and he did not listen to them as [2said 3to them 1the lord].

7:14  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, [4is weighed down 1The 2heart 3of Pharaoh] to not send out the people.

7:15  You proceed to Pharaoh in the morning! Behold, he will go forth upon the water. And you will be able to meet him upon the edge of the river, and the rod, the one turning into a serpent, take in your hand.

7:16  And you shall say to him, The lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, Send out my people! that they may serve to me in the wilderness. And behold, you hearkened not unto this time.

7:17  Thus says the lord, In this you will know that I am the lord. Behold, I strike with the rod in my hand upon the water in the river, and it will turn into blood.

7:18  And the fishes in the river shall come to an end. And [3will stink 1the 2river], and [3will not 4be able 1the 2Egyptians] to drink water from the river.

7:19  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Say to Aaron your brother, Take your rod, and stretch out your hand upon the waters of Egypt, and upon their rivers, and upon their aqueducts, and upon their marshes, and upon all [2standing 3water 1their], and there will be blood in all the land of Egypt, in both the wood vessels and in the stone vessels.

7:20  And [4did 5so 1Moses 2and 3Aaron], just as [2gave charge 3to them 1the lord]. And Aaron lifting his rod struck the water in the river before Pharaoh, and before his attendants. And [7turned 1all 2the 3water 4in 5the 6river] into blood.

7:21  And the fishes, the ones in the river came to an end. And [3stunk 1the 2river]. And [3were not 4able 1the 2Egyptians] to drink water from out of the river. And [3was 1the 2blood] in all the land of Egypt.

7:22  [7did 1And 8likewise 2also 3the 4enchanters 5of the 6Egyptians] in their sorceries. And was hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, just as the lord said.

7:23  [3turned 1And 2Pharaoh] to enter into his house, and he did not set his mind neither upon this thing.

7:24  [5dug 1And 2all 3the 4Egyptians] round about the river so as to drink water; and they were not able to drink water from the river.

7:25  And [3were fulfilled 1seven 2days] after the lord struck the river.

Chapter 8

8:1  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Enter to Pharaoh! And you shall say to him, Thus says the lord, Send out my people that they may serve me!

8:2  But if [2should not 3be willing 1you] to send, behold, I strike all your boundaries with frogs.

8:3  And [3will discharge forth 1the 2river] frogs. And in ascending, they shall enter into your houses, and into the closets of your bedrooms, and upon your beds, and into the houses of your attendants, and your people, and in your batches of flour, and in your ovens.

8:4  And upon you, and upon your people, and upon your attendants [3will ascend 1the 2frogs].

8:5  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Say to Aaron your brother! Stretch forth in your hand the rod upon the rivers, and upon the aqueducts, and upon the marshes, and lead the frogs!

8:6  And Aaron stretched out his hand upon the waters of Egypt, and he led the frogs. And [3was brought up 1the 2frog], and covered all the land of Egypt.

8:7  [6did 1And 7likewise 8also 2the 3enchanters 4of the 5Egyptians] with their sorceries; and they led the frogs upon the land of Egypt.

8:8  And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Make a vow for me to the lord, and remove the frogs from me, and from my people! And I will send the people, and they shall sacrifice to the lord.

8:9  [3said 1And 2Moses] to Pharaoh, Order for me! when should I make a vow for you, and for your attendants, and your people, to remove from view the frogs from you, and from your people, and from your houses -- except for the ones in the river which shall be left behind?

8:10  And he said, During tomorrow. He said therefore, As you have said; that you might see that there is no other besides the lord.

8:11  And [3shall be removed 1the 2frogs] from you, and from your houses, and from your attendants, and from your people, only the ones in the river will be left behind.

8:12  [5went forth 1And 2Moses 3and 4Aaron] from Pharaoh. And Moses yelled out to the lord concerning the enactment of the frogs, as Pharaoh arranged.

8:13  [3did 1And 2the lord] just as Moses said, and ended the frogs from the houses, and from the properties, and from the fields.

8:14  And they brought them heaps upon heaps, and [3stunk 1the 2land].

8:15  [3seeing 1And 2Pharaoh] that there came to pass a respite, [2was weighed down 1therefore his heart], and he did not hearken to them, just as the lord said.

8:16  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Say to Aaron! Stretch out with your hand your rod, and strike the embankment of the land! and there will be midges in all the land of Egypt.

8:17  [3stretched out 1Then 2Aaron 6with the 7hand 4the 5rod], and he struck the embankment of the earth, and there were the midges among both men and among also the four-footed creatures. And among all embankments of the land there were the midges in all the land of Egypt.

8:18  [5did 1And 6likewise 4also 2the 3enchanters] in their sorceries, to lead out the midge, but they were not able. And there were midges among both men, and among the four-footed creatures.

8:19  [3said 4then 1And the 2enchanters] to Pharaoh, [2the finger 3of God 1This is]. And [4was hardened 1the 2heart 3of Pharaoh], and he did not listen to them, just as the lord said.

8:20  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Rise early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh! And behold, he will come forth near the water. And you shall say to him, Thus says the lord, Send out my people! that they shall serve me in the wilderness.

8:21  But if you do not want to send out my people, behold, I will send upon you, and upon your attendants, and upon your people, and upon your houses the dog-fly. And [5shall be filled 1the 2houses 3of the 4Egyptians] with the dog-fly, and into the land upon which they are upon it.

8:22  And I will do an incredible thing in that day in the land of Goshen, upon which my people are upon it; upon which there will not be there the dog-fly, that you may know that I am the lord of all the earth.

8:23  And I will make a difference between my people, and between your people. And in the next morning [2will be 3the 4sign 1this] upon the land.

8:24  [3did 1And 2the lord] so. And [3came 1the 2dog-fly] in multitude in the houses of Pharaoh, and in the houses of his attendants, and in all the land of Egypt. And [3was utterly destroyed 1the 2land] because of the dog-fly.

8:25  [3called 1And 2Pharaoh] Moses and Aaron, saying, In going, you sacrifice to your God in the land!

8:26  And Moses said, It is not possible to be so. For the abominations of the Egyptians we sacrifice to the lord our God. For if we should sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians before them, we shall have stones thrown at us.

8:27  A journey of three days we shall go into the wilderness, and we shall sacrifice to the lord our God, just as he told us.

8:28  And Pharaoh said, I shall send you, and you sacrifice to the lord your God in the wilderness! but do not [3far away 2to extend 1go]! Make a vow then for me to the lord!

8:29  [3said 1And 2Moses], Behold I will go forth from you, and I will make a vow to God, and [3shall go forth 1the 2dog-fly] from you, and from your attendants, and from your people tomorrow. You should not add again, O Pharaoh, to deceive completely, to not send out the people to sacrifice to the lord.

8:30  [3went forth 1And 2Moses] from Pharaoh, and made a vow to God.

8:31  [3did 1And 2the lord] just as Moses said, and removed the dog-fly from Pharaoh, and from his attendants, and from his people; and he did not leave behind even one.

8:32  And Pharaoh was oppressed in his heart also at this time, and he did not want to send out the people.

Chapter 9

9:1  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Enter to Pharaoh! And you shall say to him, Thus says the lord God of the Hebrews, Send out my people! that they may serve to me

9:2  For if then you do not want to send out my people, but still to have power over them,

9:3  behold, the hand of the lord will be against your cattle in the plains, and against also the horses, and against the beasts of burden, and the camels, and oxen, and sheep, [3plague 2great 1by an exceedingly].

9:4  And I will do an incredible thing, even I in that time, between the cattle of the Egyptians, and between the cattle of the sons of Israel. And there shall not come to an end of any of the ones of the sons of Israel in particular.

9:5  And God gave confirmation, saying, In the next morning the lord will do this thing upon the land.

9:6  And the lord did this thing in the next day. And there came to an end all the cattle of the Egyptians. But of the cattle of the sons of Israel they did not come to an end -- not one.

9:7  [3seeing 1And 2Pharaoh] that none came to an end from all of the cattle of the sons of Israel -- not one, [4was oppressed 1the 2heart 3of Pharaoh], and he did not send out the people.

9:8  [3spoke 1And 2the lord] to Moses and Aaron, saying, Take with you [2full 1hands] of soot of a furnace! and let Moses strew it into the heaven before Pharaoh, and before his attendants!

9:9  And let there become a cloud of dust upon all the land of Egypt! and there will be upon men and upon the four-footed creatures sores of boils breaking out among both men, and among the four-footed creatures, and in all the land of Egypt.

9:10  And they took the soot of the furnace before Pharaoh; and [2strew 3it 1Moses] into the heaven; and there became sores of boils breaking out among both men, and among the four-footed creatures.

9:11  And [3were not 4able 1the 2sorcerers] to stand before Moses, on account of the sores. [4happened 1For 2the 3sores] among the sorcerers, and in all the land of Egypt.

9:12  [3hardened 1And 2the lord] the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not hearken to them; as the lord ordered to Moses.

9:13  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Rise early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh! And you shall say to him, Thus says the lord God of the Hebrews, Send out my people! that they may serve to me.

9:14  [2in 3the 1For] present time I will send out all my events into your heart, and your attendants, and your people, that you might see that there is not another as I in all the earth.

9:15  For now, sending my hand, I will strike you; and your people I shall put to death; and I will obliterate you from the earth.

9:16  And because of this you were carefully kept, that I might demonstrate in you my strength, and how [2should be declared 1my name] in all the earth.

9:17  Still then you cause my people [2to not 3be sent out 1for them].

9:18  Behold, I rain this hour tomorrow [3hail 2great 1exceedingly], in which such has not happened in Egypt from which day it was created, and until this day.

9:19  Now then hasten to bring together your cattle, and as much as is to you in the plain! For all the men, and the cattle, as much as might be found in the plains, and what might not enter into a residence, [3should have fallen 1and 4upon 5them 2what hail], it will come to an end.

9:20  The ones fearing the word of the lord of the attendants of Pharaoh brought together their cattle into the houses.

9:21  And he who did not take heed to the thought unto the word of the lord, he allowed the cattle to stay in the plains.

9:22  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Stretch out your hand unto heaven! and there will be hail upon all the land of Egypt; upon both the men, and the cattle, and upon all pasturage upon the land.

9:23  [3stretched out 1And 2Moses] his hand unto the heaven, and the lord gave sounds and hail. And [2ran across 1fire] upon the earth. And the lord rained hail upon all the land of Egypt.

9:24  And there was hail, and the fire blazing in the hail. And the hail was great -- exceedingly, in which was there not such in Egypt from when there was [2upon 3it 1a nation].

9:25  [4struck 1And 2the 3hail] in all the land of Egypt -- all as much as was in the plain from man unto beast. And all pasturage in the plain [3struck 1the 2hail]. And all the trees in the plains broke.

9:26  Except in the land of Goshen, of which were there the sons of Israel, there was not hail.

9:27  [3sending 1And 2Pharaoh], called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them, I have sinned now, the lord is just, but I and my people are impious.

9:28  Make a vow then to the lord, and let [3cease 4to happen 1the sounds 2of God], and the hail and fire! And I will send you out, and no longer will I insist for you to remain.

9:29  [3said 1And 4to him 2Moses], whenever I should go from the city, I will spread forth my hands to the lord, and the sounds will cease; and the hail and the rain will not be any longer, that you may know that [3is of the 4 lord 1the 2earth].

9:30  And you and your attendants -- I know that you do not yet fear the lord.

9:31  And the flax and the barley were struck. For the barley was standing, and the flax was seeding.

9:32  And the wheat and the wild oat were not struck, [3late 1for 2it was].

9:33  [3went forth 1And 2Moses] from Pharaoh outside of the city, and he spread forth the hands to the lord, and the sounds ceased, and the hail; and the rain did not drip any longer upon the land.

9:34  [3seeing 1And 2Pharaoh] that [3has been ceased 1the 2rain], and the hail, and the sounds -- he added to sin. And [3was oppressed 1his 2heart], and the ones of his attendants.

9:35  And [4was hardened 1the 2heart 3of Pharaoh], and he did not send out the sons of Israel; just as the lord said to Moses.

Chapter 10

10:1  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, saying, Enter to Pharaoh! for I oppressed his heart, and the heart of his attendants, that [3in a row 2should come 1these signs] upon them;

10:2  that you may describe them into the ears of your children, and to the children of your children; as much as I mocked the Egyptians, and my signs which I did among them. And you will know that it is I the lord.

10:3  [5entered 1And 2Moses 3and 4Aaron] before Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus says the lord, the God of the Hebrews, Until when will you not shame me? Send out my people! that they may serve to me.

10:4  But if [2should not want 1you] to send out my people, behold, I will bring this in the hour tomorrow -- [2locust 1much] upon all your boundaries.

10:5  And [5will be covered 1the 2appearance 3of the 4earth], and you will not be able to look down at the ground, and will be eaten up all the extra being left behind which [3left behind 4for you 1the 2hail]. And will be eaten up every tree germinating of yours upon the land.

10:6  And I will fill your houses, and the houses of your attendants, and all the houses in all the land of the Egyptians, which at no time have [2seen 1your fathers], nor their forefathers, from which day they were upon the land, until this day. And turning aside he went forth from Pharaoh.

10:7  And [4say 1the 2attendants 3of Pharaoh] to him, For how long will this be to us an impediment? Send out the men! so that they may serve to the lord their God. Or [2to see 1do you prefer] that they destroy Egypt?

10:8  And [5returned 1both 2Moses 3and 4Aaron] to Pharaoh. And he said to them, Go, and serve to the lord your God! But which and who are the ones going?

10:9  And Moses says, With the young and the older we will go; with our sons, and daughters, and sheep, and our oxen; for it is the holiday of the lord our God.

10:10  And he said to them, Let it be so! The lord be with you, in so far as I send you; but should also your belongings? See! for wickedness lies near to you.

10:11  Not so, let [3go forth 1the 2men] and serve God! for this they seek after. And they cast them from the face of Pharaoh.

10:12  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Stretch out your hand upon the land of Egypt! and let [2ascend 1the locust] upon the land, and it will eat up all the pasturage of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which [3left behind 1the 2hail].

10:13  And Moses stretched out the rod into the heaven, and the lord brought [2wind 1the south] upon the land [2entire 3day 1that] and entire night. In the morning came the [2wind 1south] lifting up the locust,

10:14  and it led it upon all the land of Egypt. And it rested upon all the boundaries of Egypt -- many, exceedingly. Prior of them there were not such locust, and after this there will not be so.

10:15  And they covered the appearance of the land, and corrupted the land, and ate up all the pasturage of the land, and all the fruit of the trees, which were left behind from the hail. There was not left a green thing, not one thing among the trees, even in all the pasturage of the plain in all the land of Egypt.

10:16  [3hastened 1And 2Pharaoh] to call Moses and Aaron, saying, I have sinned before the lord your God, and against you.

10:17  Favorably receive then my sin still now, and pray to the lord your God, and remove from me this plague!

10:18  [3went forth 1And 2Moses] from Pharaoh, and made a vow to God.

10:19  And the lord turned [2wind 3from 4the sea 1a vehement], and it took up the locust, and cast it into the red sea. And there was not left behind [2locust 1one] in all the land of Egypt.

10:20  And the lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not send out the sons of Israel.

10:21  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Stretch out the hand into the heaven, and let [2become 1darkness] upon the land of Egypt -- a tangible darkness!

10:22  [3stretched out 1And 2Moses] the hand unto the heaven. And there was darkness, dimness, and a storm upon all the land of Egypt three days.

10:23  And not [2know 1did anyone] his brother, and not [2rise up 1did anyone] from his bed for three days. But to all the sons of Israel there was light in all places in which they occupied.

10:24  And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, saying, Proceed, serve the lord your God! only the sheep and the oxen leave behind! but [2your belongings 1let] run with you!

10:25  And Moses said, But also you shall give us means for whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices which we will make to the lord our God.

10:26  And our cattle shall go with us, and we shall not leave behind a hoof. [2of 3them 1For] we shall take to serve the lord our God. But we know not how we shall serve the lord our God until the arriving of us there.

10:27  [3hardened 1But 2the lord] the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not want to send them.

10:28  And Pharaoh says, Go forth from me! Take heed to yourself yet to add to see my face! for whatever day you should see me, you shall die.

10:29  [3says 1And 2Moses], As you have said, no longer shall I appear to you in person.

Chapter 11

11:1  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Still one more calamity I will bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt, and after this he will send you from here. And whenever he should send you, [4with 5all your things 3by expulsion 1he will cast 2you].

11:2  You speak then secretly into the ears of the people! And let [2ask 1each man] from the neighbor, and each woman from the neighbor, items of silver and of gold, and clothes!

11:3  And the lord gave favor to his people before the Egyptians, and they treated them. And the man Moses [3great 1became 2exceedingly] before the Egyptians, and before Pharaoh, and before his attendants.

11:4  And Moses said, Thus says the lord, Around the middle of the night I will enter into the midst of Egypt.

11:5  And shall come to an end every first-born in the land of Egypt; from the first-born of Pharaoh, who sits down upon the throne, and unto the first-born of the female attendant by the millstone, and unto the first-born of every beast.

11:6  And there will be [2cry 1a great] by all the land of Egypt, in which such as was not, and such as no longer shall be added.

11:7  But among all the sons of Israel there shall not growl even a dog with its tongue, from man unto beast; so that you may see as much as [2does an incredible thing 1the lord] between the Egyptians and Israel.

11:8  And [3shall descend 1all 2these your servants] to me, and shall do obeisance to me, saying, You go forth, and all your people whom you guide! and after these things I will go forth. [3went forth 1And 2Moses] from Pharaoh with rage.

11:9  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, [2will not listen to 3you 1Pharaoh] that I might multiply my signs, and my miracles in the land of Egypt.

11:10  And Moses and Aaron did all these miracles in the land of Egypt before Pharaoh. [3hardened 1And 2the lord] the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not want to send the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

Chapter 12

12:1  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

12:2  This month is to you the beginning of months. [2the first 1It is to you] among the months of the year.

12:3  Speak to all the gathering of the sons of Israel! saying, The tenth of this month let [2take 1each] a sheep according to the houses of the families! a sheep according to a house.

12:4  But if there should be very few in the house, so as for there not to be enough for the sheep, he shall include with himself the neighbor, neighboring him, according to the number of souls, each sufficient for him to be counted for the sheep.

12:5  [6sheep 3a perfect 4male 5unblemished 7of a year old 1It shall be 2to you]; from the lambs and from the kids you shall take.

12:6  And it will be to you for carefully keeping until the fourteenth of this month. And they shall slay it -- all the multitude of the gathering of the sons of Israel towards evening.

12:7  And they shall take from the blood, and they shall put it upon the two doorposts, and upon the lintel on the houses in which they should eat them in them.

12:8  And they shall eat the meats in this night, roasted by fire; and unleavened breads with bitter herbs they shall eat.

12:9  You shall not eat of them raw, nor being boiled in water, but roasted by fire, head with the feet, and the entrails.

12:10  You shall not leave anything from it into the morning. And [2a bone 1you shall not break] of it. And the things being left behind from it unto morning, [2in 3fire 1you shall incinerate].

12:11  And thus shall you eat it -- with your loins girded, and the sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hands; and you shall eat it with haste -- it is the passover of the lord.

12:12  And I shall go through in the land of Egypt in this night, and I shall strike all first-born in the land of Egypt, from man unto beast; and among all the gods of the Egyptians I will execute punishment -- I the lord.

12:13  And [3shall be 1the 2blood] to you for a sign upon the houses in which you are there; and I will see the blood and shelter you; and there shall not be to you a calamity of the obliteration, whenever I smite in the land of Egypt.

12:14  And [2shall be 1this day] to you a memorial. And you shall solemnize it a holiday to the lord unto your generations; [2law 1an eternal] you shall solemnize it.

12:15  Seven days you shall eat unleavened breads. And from the [2day 1first] you shall remove yeast from your houses. All who ever shall eat yeast, [2shall be utterly destroyed 1that soul] from out of Israel; it shall be from the [2day 1first] until [3day 1the 2seventh].

12:16  And [3day 1the 2first] shall be called holy. And [3day 1the 2seventh 5called 6holy 4will be] to you. All [2work 1servile] shall not be done in them, except as much as is necessary to do for every soul, this only shall be done by you.

12:17  And you shall guard this commandment. For in this day I will lead your force from out of the land of Egypt. And you shall appoint this day into your generations [2law 1as an eternal].

12:18  Commencing the fourteenth day [3month 1of the 2first], from evening you shall eat unleavened breads until [4day 1the first 2and 3twentieth] of the month, until evening.

12:19  For seven days yeast shall not be found in your houses. All whosoever should eat leavened bread, [2shall utterly be destroyed 1that soul] from out of the congregation of Israel, unto both foreigners and native born of the land.

12:20  Anything leavened you shall not eat. In every home of yours you shall eat unleavened breads.

12:21  [3called 1And 2Moses] the whole council of elders of Israel. And he said to them, Going forth, take to yourselves a sheep according to your kin, and sacrifice the passover!

12:22  But you shall take a bundle of hyssop, and having dipped it from the blood, of the blood by the door, you shall place it on the lintel and upon both of the doorposts, of the blood which is by the door; and you shall not go forth -- each from the door of his house until morning.

12:23  And the lord will go by to strike the Egyptians. And he shall see the blood upon the lintel and upon both of the doorposts. And the lord will go by the door, and he will not leave off the annihilating so as to enter into your house to strike.

12:24  And you shall guard this thing for the law to yourself, and to your sons unto the eon.

12:25  And if you should enter into the land which ever the lord should give to you, in so far as he spoke, you shall guard this service.

12:26  And it will be if [2should say 3to 4you 1your sons], What is this service?

12:27  That you shall say to them, [4sacrifice 2the 3passover 1This is] to the lord, as he sheltered the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, but our houses he rescued. And bowing, the people did obeisance.

12:28  And going forth, [4did 1the 2sons 3of Israel] as the lord gave charge to Moses and Aaron -- so they did.

12:29  And it happened in the middle of the night, and the lord struck all the first-born in the land of Egypt; from the first-born of Pharaoh, of the one sitting upon the throne, unto the first-born of the captive, of the one in the pit, and every first-born of the beast.

12:30  And Pharaoh rose up at night, and all his attendants, and all the Egyptians, and there was [2cry 1a great] in all the land of Egypt. [3no 1For 2there was] house in which there was not one [2in 3it 1dying].

12:31  And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron at night, and he said to them, Rise up, and go forth from my people, both you and the sons of Israel! Proceed and serve to the lord your God! as you say.

12:32  And the sheep and the oxen of yours in taking up, go! just as you say; and bless also me!

12:33  And [3constrained 1the 2Egyptians] the people with diligence to cast them from the land; for they said that, We all shall die.

12:34  [4took 1And 2the 3people] their dough before the leavening of their batches, being bound in their cloaks upon their shoulders.

12:35  And the sons of Israel did as [2ordered 3them 1Moses]. And they asked from the Egyptians items of silver, and of gold, and clothes.

12:36  And the lord gave favor to his people before the Egyptians, and they furnished to them; and they despoiled the Egyptians.

12:37  [5having departed 1And 2the 3sons 4of Israel] from out of Rameses into Succoth, to the number of six hundred thousand footmen, the males, besides the belongings,

12:38  and [2intermixed company 1a great] went up with them, and sheep and oxen, and cattle -- many exceedingly.

12:39  And they baked the dough which they brought from out of Egypt -- [2cakes baked in hot ashes 1unleavened]. [3not 1For 2it was] leavened, [4cast 6out 1because 5them 2the 3Egyptians], and they were not able to remain, nor [2provisions 1to prepare] for themselves for the journey.

12:40  And the dwelling of the sons of Israel, which they dwelt in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, they and their fathers -- four hundred thirty years.

12:41  And it came to pass after the four hundred and thirty year, came forth all the force of the lord from out of the land of Egypt.

12:42  [2a night 3post 1It is] to the lord, so as to lead them from out of the land of Egypt. That night itself is a post to the lord, so as [2to all 3the 4sons 5of Israel 1to be] into their generations.

12:43  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the passover. Every foreigner shall not eat of it.

12:44  And every domestic servant, any which was bought with silver, you shall circumcise him. And then he shall eat of it.

12:45  Sojourner or hireling shall not eat of it.

12:46  In [2house 1one] it shall be eaten, and you shall not bring forth from the house of any of the meats outside, and [2a bone 1you shall not break] of it.

12:47  Every gathering of the sons of Israel shall do it.

12:48  And if any [2should come forward 3to 4you 1convert], and should observe the passover to the lord, you shall circumcise [3of his 1every 2male]. And then he shall come forward to do it. And he will be as also the native born of the land. Every uncircumcised one shall not eat of it.

12:49  [3law 2one 1There shall be] to the native inhabitant, and to the one coming forward to convert among you.

12:50  And [4did 1the 2sons 3of Israel] as the lord gave charge to Moses and Aaron to them -- so they did.

12:51  And it came to pass in that day the lord led out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt with their force.

Chapter 13

13:1  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, saying,

13:2  Sanctify to me every first-born, first-born of its kind opening wide every womb among the sons of Israel, from man unto beast -- it is mine.

13:3  [3said 1And 2Moses] to the people, Remember this day in which you came forth from out of Egypt, from out of the house of slavery. For with [2hand 1a fortified 4led 5you 3the lord] from here, and you shall not eat yeast.

13:4  For today you go forth in [3month 1the 2new].

13:5  And it will be when ever [3should bring 4you 1the lord 2your God] into the land of the Canaanites, and Hittites, and Amorites, and Hivites, and Jebusites, and Gergesites, and Perizzites, which he swore by an oath to your fathers to give to you the land flowing milk and honey, then you shall do this service in this month.

13:6  Six days you shall eat unleavened breads, but the [2day 1seventh] is a holiday of the lord.

13:7  Unleavened bread shall you eat seven days. There shall not be seen in you leavened bread, nor shall there be to you yeast in all your boundaries.

13:8  And you shall announce to your son in that day, saying, Concerning this [3did 1the lord 2God] to me as I went forth from out of Egypt.

13:9  And it will be to you for a sign upon your hand, and a memorial before your eyes, that [4may be 1the 2law 3of the lord] in your mouth. For with [2hand 1a fortified 4led 5you 3the lord] out of Egypt.

13:10  And you shall guard this law according to the times of hours, from days to days.

13:11  And it shall be whenever [3should bring 4you 1the lord 2your God] into the land of the Canaanites, in which manner he swore by an oath to your fathers, and shall give it to you,

13:12  that you shall separate every offspring opening the womb, the males to the lord, every offspring opening the womb from the herds among your cattle. As many as come to pass to you, the males are to the lord.

13:13  Every newborn opening the womb of donkey you shall barter for sheep. But if you should not barter you shall ransom it. Every first-born of man of your sons you shall ransom.

13:14  And if [2should ask 3you 1your son] about these, saying, What is this? And you shall say to him, that, With [2hand 1a fortified] [2led 3you 1the lord] out of the land of Egypt, from out of the house of slavery.

13:15  And when he hardened Pharaoh to send us, the lord slew all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of men, unto the first-born of cattle. On account of this I sacrifice to the lord every offspring opening the womb, the males to the lord, and every first-born of my sons I will ransom.

13:16  And it shall be for a sign upon your hand, and unshaken before your eyes. For by [2hand 1a fortified 4led 5you 3the lord] out of Egypt.

13:17  And as Pharaoh sent out the people, [2did not 3guide 4them 1God] in the way of the land of the Philistines, for it was near; [3said 1for 2God], Lest at any time [3should repent 1the 2people] seeing war, and they should return into Egypt;

13:18  and God circled the people in the way -- the one into the wilderness, to the red sea. And in the fifth generation [4ascended 1the 2sons 3of Israel] from out of the land of Egypt.

13:19  And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for with an oath Joseph bound the sons of Israel, saying, With a visit the lord will visit you, and you shall join in carrying off my bones from here with you.

13:20  [5lifted away 1And 2the 3sons 4of Israel] from out of Succoth, and they encamped in Etham by the wilderness.

13:21  But God led them, by day by a column of cloud, to show to them the way; but in the night by a column of fire.

13:22  [4did not 5fail 1The 2column 3of cloud] by day, and the column of fire by night before all the people.

Chapter 14

14:1  And the lord spoke to Moses, saying,

14:2  Speak to the sons of Israel! And turning let them encamp before the property between Migdol and between the sea, right opposite Baal-Zephon! Before them you shall encamp by the sea.

14:3  And Pharaoh will say concerning the sons of Israel, These wander in the land, [4has closed 6up 1for 5them 2the 3wilderness].

14:4  But I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, and he will pursue after them, and I will be glorified by Pharaoh, and by all his military; and [4shall know 1all 2the 3Egyptians] that I am the lord. And they did thus.

14:5  And it was announced to the king of the Egyptians that [3have fled 1the 2people]. And [4was converted 1the 2heart 3of Pharaoh], and the hearts of his attendants against the people. And they said, What is this we have done to send out the sons of Israel to not slave to us?

14:6  [3teamed up 2then 1Pharaoh] his chariots, and [2all 3his people 1he led] with himself.

14:7  And he took six hundred [2chariots 1chosen], and all the cavalry of the Egyptians, and tribunes over all.

14:8  And the lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And he pursued after the sons of Israel. But the sons of Israel went with [2hand 1a high].

14:9  And [3pursued 1the 2Egyptians] after them. And they found them camping by the sea. And all the cavalry, and the chariots of Pharaoh, and the horsemen, and his military were before the property right opposite Baal-zephon.

14:10  And Pharaoh led forward. And [4looking up 1the 2sons 3of Israel] with the eyes, they beheld. And behold, the Egyptians were encamped behind them. And they feared exceedingly. [5yelled out 1And 2the 3sons 4of Israel] to the lord.

14:11  And they said to Moses, Because there were no [2existing 1tombs] in Egypt you led us to be put to death in the wilderness? What is this you did to us bringing us forth from out of Egypt?

14:12  [2this not 1Was] the saying which we spoke in Egypt to you? saying, Disregard us! so that we may slave to the Egyptians. For it is better for us to slave to the Egyptians, than to die in this wilderness.

14:13  [3said 1And 2Moses] to the people, Be of courage! Stand, and see the deliverance by the lord, which he will do for us today! [2in which 3manner 1For] you see the Egyptians today, you will not proceed still to see them into the eon of time.

14:14  The lord will wage war for us, and you shall be quiet.

14:15  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Why do you yell to me? Speak to the sons of Israel, and break camp!

14:16  And you, lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand upon the sea, and tear it! And let [4enter 1the 2sons 3of Israel] in the midst of the sea on dry land!

14:17  And behold, I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, and [2the 3Egyptians 1all]; and they will enter in after them, and I will be glorified by Pharaoh, and by all his military, and by the chariots, and by his horses.

14:18  And [4shall know 1all 2the 3Egyptians] that I am the lord glorifying myself by Pharaoh, and by the chariots, and by his horses.

14:19  [5lifted away 1And 2the 3angel 4of God], the one going before the camp of the sons of Israel, and he went at the rear. And lifted away also the column of cloud from their sight, and it stood at the rear of them.

14:20  And it entered between the camp of the Egyptians and between the camp of Israel, and it stood. And there was darkness and dimness. And [3went by 1the 2night]. And they did not mix together one to another the entire night.

14:21  [3stretched out 1And 2Moses] his hand upon the sea. And the lord drew away the sea by [3wind 2south 1a violent] the entire night. And he made the sea dry, and cut asunder the water.

14:22  And [4entered 1the 2sons 3of Israel] in the midst of the sea down on the dry land. And its water was a wall from the right and a wall from the left.

14:23  [4pursued 1And 2the 3Egyptians]. And [5entered 6after 7them 1all 2the 3cavalry 4of Pharaoh], and the chariots, and the riders in the midst of the sea.

14:24  And it came to pass in the watch, in the early morning, and the lord gave attention unto the camp of the Egyptians with a column of fire and a cloud; and he disturbed the camp of the Egyptians.

14:25  And he bound the axles of their chariots, and led them with force. And [3said 1the 2Egyptians], We should flee from the face of Israel, for the lord wages war for them against the Egyptians.

14:26  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Stretch out your hand upon the sea, and restore the water, and cover over the Egyptians, over both the chariots and over the riders!

14:27  [3stretched out 1And 2Moses] his hand upon the sea, and [3restored 1the 2water] at day to its place. And the Egyptians fled from under the water. And the lord shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

14:28  And in turning back, the water covered the chariots, and the riders, and all the force of Pharaoh, of the ones entering after them into the sea. And there was not left of them not even one.

14:29  And the sons of Israel went through dry land in the midst of the sea. And the water was to them a wall on the right, and a wall on the left.

14:30  And the lord rescued Israel in that day from the hand of the Egyptians. And Israel saw the Egyptians having died by the edge of the sea.

14:31  [3saw 1And 2Israel 6hand 4the 5great] by which the lord executed against the Egyptians. [4feared 1And 2the 3people] the lord, and they trusted in God, and Moses his attendant.

Chapter 15

15:1  Then they sang, Moses and the sons of Israel, this ode to the lord. And they said, We should sing to the lord, for gloriously he is glorified; horse and rider he tossed into the sea.

15:2  Helper and shelterer he became to me for deliverance; this is my God, and I will glorify him; the God of my father, and I will exalt him.

15:3  The lord breaking by wars; the lord is his name.

15:4  The chariots of Pharaoh, and his force he tossed into the sea; chosen riders -- tribunes he sank in the red sea.

15:5  A high sea covered them; they descended unto the bottom of the sea as stone.

15:6  Your right hand, O lord, has been glorified in strength; your right hand, O lord, devastated the enemies.

15:7  And in the magnitude of your glory you broke the opponents. You sent your anger, and it devoured them as stubble.

15:8  And by the breath of your rage [3was parted 1the 2water]; [2a banked up 1as] wall were the waters; [4were banked up 1and 2the 3waves] in the midst of the sea.

15:9  [3said 1The 2enemy], In pursuing I shall overtake; I shall portion the spoils; I shall fill up my soul; I will take up my sword; [2will dominate 1my hand].

15:10  You sent your breath, [2covered 3them 1the sea]; they went down as lead in [2water 1vehement].

15:11  Who is likened to you among gods, O lord? Who is likened to you, being glorified among holy ones, wonderful in glories, doing miracles?

15:12  You stretched out your right hand, [2swallowed 3them 1the earth].

15:13  You guided by your righteousness -- [2your people 1this] whom you ransomed. You aided in your strength in [2lodging 1your holy].

15:14  [2heard 1Nations], and were provoked to anger; pangs took hold of the ones dwelling among the Philistines.

15:15  Then hastened the princes of Edom, and the rulers of the Moabites; [2took hold 3of them 1trembling]; they melted away -- all the ones dwelling in Canaan.

15:16  May there fall upon them fear and trembling; by the greatness of your arm they are petrified, until whenever [2may go by 1your people], O lord, until whenever [3may go by 2your people 1this], whom you acquired.

15:17  Bringing them in -- plant them in [2mountain 3of inheritance 1your]; into [2prepared 3home 1your] which you manufactured, O lord; the sanctuary, O lord, which you prepared by your hands.

15:18  The lord reigning into the eon, and unto eon, and still!

15:19  For [3entered 1the horse 2of Pharaoh] with chariots and riders into the sea; and [2brought 3upon 4them 1the lord] the water of the sea. But the sons of Israel went through dry land in the midst of the sea.

15:20  [8took 1And 2Miriam 3the 4prophetess 5the 6sister 7of Aaron] the tambourine in her hand. And came forth all the women after her with tambourines and dancers.

15:21  [3led 1And 4them 2Miriam], saying, We should sing to the lord, for gloriously he glorified himself -- horse and rider he tossed into the sea.

15:22  [3lifted up 1And 2Moses] the sons of Israel from [2sea 1the red], and he led them into the wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness, and they did not find water so as to drink.

15:23  And they came unto Marah. And they were not able to drink water at Marah, [3bitter 1for 2it was]. On account of this [4was named 1the 2name 3of that place], Bitter.

15:24  And [3complained 1the 2people] unto Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

15:25  [3yelled 1And 2Moses] to the lord. And [3showed 4to him 1the 2 lord] a tree. And he put it into the water, and [3was sweetened 1the 2water]. There he established with him ordinances and judgments, and there he tested him.

15:26  And he said, If you should hear the voice of the lord your God, and [2the things 3pleasing 4before 5him 1you should do], and you should give ear to his commandments, and you should guard all his ordinances, then every disease which was brought upon the Egyptians, I will not bring upon you. For I am the lord healing you.

15:27  And they came into Elim. And there were there twelve springs of waters, and seventy trunks of palm trees; and they camped there by the waters.

Chapter 16

16:1  And they departed from Elim, and [5came 1all 2the congregation 3of the sons 4of Israel] unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and between Sinai. And on the fifteenth day in [3month 1the 2second] they went forth from the land of Egypt.

16:2  [7complained 1All 2the 3gathering 4of the 5sons 6of Israel] to Moses and Aaron.

16:3  And [4said 5to 6them 1the 2sons 3of Israel], Ought we died being struck by the lord in the land of Egypt, whenever we sat at the kettles of the meats, and ate bread loaves in fullness. For you led us into this wilderness to kill all this congregation by hunger.

16:4  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Behold, I rain upon you bread loaves from out of the heaven; and [3shall come forth 1the 2people], and they shall collect together the bread day to day, that I should test them if they shall go by my law or not.

16:5  And it will be in [3day 1the 2sixth], and they shall prepare what ever they should carry in, and it shall be double what ever they should bring according to day by day.

16:6  [5said 1And 2Moses 3and 4Aaron] to all the gathering of the sons of Israel, At evening you will know that the lord led you out of the land of Egypt.

16:7  And in the morning you will see the glory of the lord, in the hearing of your grumbling against God. And we, what are we that you complain against us?

16:8  And Moses said, It is in the [2giving 1the lord] to you in the evening meats to eat, and bread loaves in the morning for fullness, on account of the lord's hearing your grumbling which you complain against us. But we, what are we? For not [3against 4us 2your grumbling 1is], but against God.

16:9  [3said 1And 2Moses] to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel! Come forward before God! for he has heard your grumbling.

16:10  And when Aaron spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, that they turned into the wilderness, and the glory of the lord appeared in a cloud.

16:11  And the lord spoke to Moses, saying,

16:12  I have heard the grumbling of the sons of Israel. Speak to them! saying, Towards evening you shall eat meats, and in the morning you will be filled of bread loaves. And you shall know that I am the lord your God.

16:13  And it was evening. And there ascended the mother-quail, and it covered the camp. And in the morning there was a resting of the dew round about the camp.

16:14  And behold, upon the face of the wilderness, a thin thing as coriander -- white, as ice upon the earth.

16:15  And seeing it, the sons of Israel said, an other to the other, What is this? [3not 1For 2they had] known what it was. [3said 1And 2Moses] to them, This is the bread which the lord gave to you to eat.

16:16  This is the thing which the lord ordered. Bring together of it each for what is fitting! A homer per head, according to the number of your souls; [2each 3with 4your tents 1let] collect together!

16:17  And [4did 5so 1the 2sons 3of Israel], and they collected together what was much and what was less.

16:18  And measuring with the homer, [3was not 4superabundant 1the one which 2had much], and the one which had less had not too less, for each [2what was fitting 3for 4himself 1collected together].

16:19  [3said 1And 2Moses] to them, Let no one leave behind of his into the morning!

16:20  And they did not hearken to Moses, but left behind some of it into the morning. And [2erupted 1worms], and it stunk. And [2was embittered 3over 4them 1Moses].

16:21  And they collected it together morning by morning, each the fitting thing for himself. And when [3warmed through 1the 2sun], it melted away.

16:22  And it happened in the [2day 1sixth] they collected together the necessary double amount, two homers to the one person. [7entered 1And 2all 3the 4rulers 5of the 6congregation], and announced to Moses.

16:23  [3said 1And 2Moses] to them, This word is what the lord spoke. A Sabbath rest, holy to the lord is tomorrow. Whatever as much as you should bake -- bake. And whatever as much as you should boil -- boil! And all that being superabundant leave it for reposit for the morning!

16:24  And they left of it into the morning, as [2ordered 3them 1Moses]. And it did not stink, nor [2a worm 1was there] in it.

16:25  [3said 1And 2Moses], You eat it today, for it is a Sabbath to the lord! Today you shall not find any in a plain.

16:26  Six days you shall collect together, but the [2day 1seventh] is a Sabbath, for it shall not be found in it.

16:27  And it came to pass on the seventh day, and came forth certain ones from the people to collect together, and they did not find.

16:28  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, For how long will you not listen to my commandments, and my law?

16:29  See! for the lord gave to you [2Sabbath 3day 1this]. On account of this he gave to you on the [2day 1sixth] bread loaves for two days. Let [2sit down 1each] in your houses by himself! Not one of you go forth from out of his place during the [2day 1seventh]!

16:30  And [3observed the Sabbath 1the 2people] in the [2day 1seventh].

16:31  And [4named 5it 1the 2sons 3of Israel] -- the name of it, Manna. And it was as the seed of coriander -- white. And the taste of it was as pastry with honey.

16:32  [3said 1And 2Moses], This is the thing which the lord ordered. Fill the homer of the manna, for reposit for your generations! that they might see the bread which you ate in the wilderness, as [2led 3you 1the lord] out of the land of Egypt.

16:33  And Moses said to Aaron, Take [3jar 2golden 1one], and put in it a full homer of manna, and put it aside before God for preservation into your generations!

16:34  In which manner the lord ordered Moses, even [2put 4aside 1Aaron 3it] before the testimony for preservation.

16:35  And the sons of Israel ate the manna [2years 1forty], until they came into the land to be lived in. [2the 3manna 1They ate] until they came into a part of Phoenicia.

16:36  Now the homer [2the 3tenth 4of three 5measures 1was].

Chapter 17

17:1  And [6departed 1all 2the 3congregation 4of the sons 5of Israel] from out of the wilderness of Sin, according to their camps, through the saying of the lord. And they camped in Rephidim. [2there was no 1But] water for the people to drink.

17:2  And [3reviled 1the 2people] against Moses, saying, Give to us water! that we may drink. And [2said 3to them 1Moses], Why do you revile me? And why do you test the lord?

17:3  [4thirsted 1And 5there 2the 3people] for water. And [3complained 1the 2people] against Moses, saying, Why is this that you hauled us from out of Egypt to kill us, and our children, and the cattle by thirst?

17:4  [3yelled 1And 2Moses] to the lord, saying, What should I do with this people? Yet in a little while and they will cast stones at me.

17:5  And the lord said to Moses, Go before this people! and take with yourself some of the elders of the people, and the rod in which you struck the river! Take it in your hand and go!

17:6  Behold, I stand there, before your coming upon the rock in Horeb. And you shall strike the rock, and shall come forth from out of it water, and [3shall drink 1the 2people]. [3did 1And 2Moses] thus before the sons of Israel.

17:7  And he named the name of that place -- Test and Reviling; on account of the reviling of the sons of Israel, and on account of the testing the lord, saying, Is the lord with us or not?

17:8  [3came 1And 2Amalek] and waged war against Israel in Rephidim.

17:9  [3said 1And 2Moses] to Joshua, Choose for yourself [2men 1mighty], and going forth deploy against Amalek tomorrow! And behold, I shall stand upon the top of the hill, and the rod of God in my hand.

17:10  And Joshua did as [2told 3to him 1Moses]. And going forth he deployed against Amalek. And Moses and Aaron and Hur ascended upon the top of the hill.

17:11  And it happened whenever Moses lifted up the hands, Israel grew strong. But whenever he lowered his hands, Amalek grew strong.

17:12  And the hands of Moses became heavy. And taking a stone they placed it under him, and he sat down upon it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands; here one and there one. And [4were 1the 2hands 3of Moses] supported until the descent of the sun.

17:13  And Joshua routed Amalek, and all his people by a carnage of the sword.

17:14  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Write this for a memorial in a scroll, and put it unto the ears of Joshua! For as ointment I will wipe away the memorial of Amalek from under heaven.

17:15  And Moses built an altar to the lord, and named the name of it, The lord My Refuge,

17:16  for with [2hand 1a hidden] the lord wages war against Amalek from generations unto generations.

Chapter 18

18:1  [9heard 1And 2Jethro 3the 4priest 5of Midian 6the 7father-in-law 8of Moses] all as much as the lord did to Israel, to his own people; [3led 1for 2the lord] Israel out of Egypt.

18:2  [6took 1And 2Jethro 3the 4father-in-law 5of Moses] Zipporah the wife of Moses after her release,

18:3  and the two sons of his -- the name to the one was Gershom, saying, I was a sojourner in [2land 1an alien].

18:4  And the name of the second was Eliezer, saying, For the God of my father is my helper, and he rescued me from out of the hand of Pharaoh.

18:5  And came forth Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, and the sons, and the wife, to Moses, into the wilderness of which place he camped at the mountain of God.

18:6  And it was announced to Moses, saying, Behold, your father-in-law Jethro comes to you, and your wife, and [2two 3sons 1your] with him.

18:7  [3came forth 1And 2Moses] to meet with his father-in-law; and he did obeisance to him, and he kissed him, and they greeted one another, and he brought them into the tent.

18:8  And Moses described to his father-in-law all as much as the lord did to Pharaoh, and to the Egyptians, on account of Israel; and all the trouble, the one coming to them in the way; and that [2rescued 3them 1the lord] from out of the hand of Pharaoh, and from out of the hand of the Egyptians.

18:9  [3was amazed 1And 2Jethro] by all the good things which [2did 3to them 1the lord]; that [2rescued 3them 1the lord] from out of the hand of the Egyptians, and from out of the hand of Pharaoh.

18:10  And Jethro said, Blessed be the lord, for he rescued his people from out of the hand of the Egyptians, and from out of the hand of Pharaoh.

18:11  Now I know that the lord is great above all the gods, because of of this -- that they made an attempt against them.

18:12  And [5took 1Jethro 2the 3father-in-law 4of Moses] whole burnt-offerings, and sacrifices to God. [8came 1For 2Aaron 3and 4all 5the 6elders 7of Israel] to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses before God.

18:13  And it came to pass after the next day, Moses sat down to judge the people, [5stood by 1and 2all 3the 4people] Moses from morning until evening.

18:14  And Jethro seeing all as much as he did to the people, says, What is this which you do to the people? Why do you sit down alone, and all the people stand by you from morning until afternoon?

18:15  And Moses says to his father-in-law, Because [3come 4to 5me 1the 2people] to seek after a judgment from God.

18:16  For whenever there is to them a dispute, and they should come to me, I litigate each, and I instruct them in the orders of God, and his law.

18:17  [4said 1And 2the 3father-in-law] to Moses to him, Not rightly do you do this thing.

18:18  [5corruption 3will be corrupted 4in unsufferable 1And 2you], and all this people, which is with you. [2is heavy 3on you 1This thing], you will not be able to act yourself alone.

18:19  Now then hear me! and I shall advise you, and God will be with you. You become to the people, the one before God! and you shall offer their words to God.

18:20  And you shall testify to them the orders of God, and his law, and you shall signify to them the ways in which they shall go by them, and the works which they shall do.

18:21  And you yourself look about all the people for men mighty and godly! [2men 1just] detesting pride. And you shall place them over them commanders of thousands, and commanders of hundreds, and commanders of fifties, and commanders of tens.

18:22  And they shall judge the people at every hour. But the [2thing 1enormous] they shall offer unto you; but the little matters of the judgments, they shall judge them; and they shall lighten the load from you, and shall give aid to you.

18:23  If this thing you do, then [2will strengthen 3you 1God], and you will be able to stand, and all this people shall come unto their own place with peace.

18:24  [3hearkened 1And 2Moses] to the voice of his father-in-law, and he did as much as he said to him.

18:25  And Moses chose [2men 1mighty] from all Israel, and appointed them over them as commanders of thousands, and commanders of hundreds, and commanders of fifties, and commanders of tens, and judicial recorders.

18:26  And they judged the people every hour, but the [2matter 1enormous] they offered to Moses. But every [2matter 1light] they judged themselves.

18:27  [3sent out 1And 2Moses] his own father-in-law, and he went forth unto his land.

Chapter 19

19:1  And in the [2month 1third] of the exodus of the sons of Israel from the land Egypt, on this day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.

19:2  And they lifted away from Rephidim, and came into the wilderness of Sinai, and [2camped 3there 1Israel] over against the mountain.

19:3  And Moses ascended into the mountain of God. And [2called 3him 1God] from the mountain, saying, Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and announce to the sons of Israel,

19:4  [4to them 1You have seen 2as much as 3I have done] -- to the Egyptians. And I took you as upon wings of eagles, and led you to myself.

19:5  And now, if in hearing, you should hear my voice, and guard my covenant, you will be to me [2people 1a prized] from all the nations. [6mine 1For 5is 2all 3the 4earth].

19:6  And you shall be to me a royal priesthood, and [2nation 1a holy]. These words you shall say to the sons of Israel.

19:7  [3came 1And 2Moses], and called the elders of the people, and placed near them all these words which [2gave orders 3to them 1God].

19:8  [5answered 1And 2all 3the 4people] with one accord, and said, All, as much as God said, we shall do, and we shall hearken. [3offered 1And 2Moses] the words of the people to God.

19:9  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Behold, I come to you in a column of cloud, that [3may hear 1the 2people] me speaking to you, and may trust you into the eon. [3announced 1And 2Moses] the words of the people to the lord.

19:10  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, In going down, testify to the people, and purify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments!

19:11  And let them be prepared for [3day 1the 2third]! For [3day 1on the 2third 5shall come down 4the lord] upon mount Sinai before all the people.

19:12  And you shall separate the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves ascending unto the mountain, and [2lightly touching 1any] of it. All touching the mountain, by death he will come to an end.

19:13  [2shall not touch it 1His hand], for with stones they shall be stoned or with an arrow they shall be shot; if it be also cattle, or if it be also man, he shall not live. And whenever the voices, and the trumpets, and the cloud go forth from the mountain, they shall ascend to the mountain.

19:14  [3went down 1And 2Moses] from the mountain to the people, and sanctified them. And they washed their garments.

19:15  And he said to the people, Be prepared three days, come forward not to a woman.

19:16  And it came to pass [3day 1on the 2third], happening towards dawn, and there were voices, and lightnings, and [2clouds 1overcast] upon mount Sinai; the voice of the trumpet sounded greatly, and [7were terrified 1all 2the 3people 4in 5the 6camp].

19:17  And Moses led the people for a meeting with God from the camp. And they stood by the mountain.

19:18  The mount Sinai smoked entirely on account of God coming down upon it in fire. [4ascended 1And 2the 3smoke] as smoke of a furnace. And [5amazed 1all 2the 3people 4were exceedingly].

19:19  And there were the sounds of the trumpet advancing strong -- exceedingly. Moses spoke, and God answered to him by voice.

19:20  [3came down 1And 2the lord] upon mount Sinai, upon the top of the mountain. And the lord called Moses unto the top of the mountain; and Moses ascended.

19:21  And God said to Moses, saying, Go down to testify to the people! lest at any time they should approach to God to contemplate, and [3should fall 2of them 1a multitude].

19:22  And the priests, the ones approaching to the lord God, let them be sanctified! lest at any time [2should get rid 3of 4them 1the lord].

19:23  And Moses said to God, [3shall not 4be able 1the 2people] to ascend to mount Sinai, for you testified to us, saying, Separate from the mountain and sanctify it!

19:24  [3said 1And 4to him 2the lord], Proceed, go down, and then ascend, you and Aaron with you! But the priests and the people shall not use force to ascend to God, lest at any time [2should destroy 3some of 4them 1the lord].

19:25  [3went down 1And 2Moses] to the people, and spoke to them.

Chapter 20

20:1  And the lord spoke all these words, saying,

20:2  I am the lord your God, the one leading you from the land of Egypt, from out of the house of slavery.

20:3  There shall not be to you other gods besides me.

20:4  You shall not make to yourself an idol, nor any representation, as much as is in the heaven upward, nor as much as is in the earth below, nor as much as is in the waters underneath the earth.

20:5  You shall not do obeisance to them, nor shall you serve to them. For I am the lord your God, a jealous God, rendering sins of fathers upon children unto the third and fourth generation to the ones detesting me;

20:6  and having mercy to thousands loving me, and guarding my orders.

20:7  You shall not take the name of the lord your God in vain. For no way shall the lord cleanse the one taking his name in vain.

20:8  Remember the day of the Sabbaths to sanctify it!

20:9  Six days you shall work, and shall do all your works;

20:10  but the [2day 1seventh] is a Sabbath to the lord your God. You shall not do on it any work -- you, and your son, and your daughter, your servant, and your maidservant, your ox, and your beast of burden, and all your cattle, and the convert -- the one sojourning among you.

20:11  For in six days the lord made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all the things in them. And he rested on the [2day 1seventh]. Because of this the lord blessed the [2day 1seventh], and sanctified it.

20:12  Esteem your father and your mother! that good should happen to you, and that [2a long time 1you may be] upon the [2earth 1good] which the lord your God gives to you.

20:13  You shall not murder.

20:14  You shall not commit adultery.

20:15  You shall not steal.

20:16  You shall not witness falsely against your neighbor [2witness 1as a lying].

20:17  You shall not covet the wife of your neighbor. You shall not covet the house of your neighbor, nor his field, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his beast of burden, nor any of his beasts, nor as much [2to 3your neighbor 1is].

20:18  All the people perceived the voice, and the lamps, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. And fearing, all the people stood afar off.

20:19  And they said to Moses, You speak to us, and do not let [2speak 3to 4us 1God]! lest we might die.

20:20  And [2says 3to them 1Moses], Be of courage! because [5to test 6you 2came 1God 3to 4you], so that there might be the fear of him in you, that you should not sin!

20:21  [5stood 1And 2all 3the 4people] afar off. But Moses entered into the dimness where God was.

20:22  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and announce to the sons of Israel, You have seen that from out of the heaven I have spoken to you.

20:23  You shall not make to yourselves gods of silver, and gods of gold; you shall not make them to yourselves.

20:24  An altar from out of the earth you shall make to me, and you shall sacrifice upon it your whole burnt-offerings, and your deliverance offerings -- the sheep, and your calves, in every place of which ever I should name my name there. And I will come to you, and I will bless you.

20:25  And if [2an altar 3of 4stones 1you should make] to me, you shall not build them cut into shape; for [2your knife 1you have put] upon them, and they are defiled.

20:26  You shall not ascend by stairs unto my altar, so that you should not uncover your indecency upon it.

Chapter 21

21:1  And these are the ordinances which you shall place before them.

21:2  If you should acquire [2servant 1a Hebrew], [3six 4years 1he shall serve 2to you], but the seventh year you shall send him free without charge.

21:3  If he alone should enter, also alone he shall go forth; but if a wife should enter together with him, also the wife shall go out together with him.

21:4  And if the master should give to him a wife, and she should bear to him, sons and daughters, the wife and the children shall be his masters, and he alone shall go forth by himself.

21:5  And if responding [3should have said 1the 2servant], I have loved my master, and my wife, and the children; I do not run free.

21:6  [2shall lead 3him 1Then his master] to the judgment seat of God, and then lead him to the door, unto the doorpost. And [3shall make a hole in 1his 2master] the ear with the shoemaker's awl, and he shall serve to him into the eon.

21:7  But if any should give over his own daughter as a domestic servant, she shall not go forth as [3run forth 1the 2maidservants].

21:8  If she should not be well-pleasing to her master, who did not solemnly promise her; on payment of ransom he shall release her; [8nation 1but 7to an alien 4not 2the master 3is 5to sell 6her], for he disrespected her.

21:9  And if to his son he solemnly promised her, according to the ordinance of the daughters he shall commit to her.

21:10  And if [2another woman 1he should take] to himself, the things necessary, and the clothes, and her companionship he shall not deprive.

21:11  And if these three things he should not do for her, she shall go forth freely, without paying money.

21:12  And if any should strike any, and he should die, to death let him be put to death!

21:13  But if it be done not willingly, but God delivered up into his hands, I will give to you a place in which he shall flee there -- the one man-slaying.

21:14  But if any should set against the neighbor to kill him by treachery, and should take refuge; [3from 4my altar 1you shall take 2him] to be put to death.

21:15  Whoever beats his father or his mother, to death he should be put to death.

21:16  The one speaking evil of his father or his mother, to death let him come to an end!

21:17  Who ever should steal any of any one of the sons of Israel, and tyrannizing him, should give him over, and should be found with him, to death let him come to an end!

21:18  And if [3revile each other 1two 2men], and one should strike the neighbor with a stone or fist, and he should not die, but lies down upon the bed;

21:19  if in arising, the man should walk outside upon his cane, [3will be innocent 1the one 2striking]; except [2for his idleness 1he shall pay], and the physician's fee.

21:20  But if any strike his servant or his maidservant with a rod, and one should die by his hand, with punishment let him be punished!

21:21  And if the one should continue to live [2day 1one] or two, he shall not be punished, for [2his money 1he is].

21:22  And if [3should do combat 1two 2men], and should strike a woman [2in 3the womb 1having one], and should come forth her child not completely formed, with a fine he shall be penalized, in so far as [5should put upon him 1the 2husband 3of the 4woman], and he shall give by means of what is fit.

21:23  And if [2completely formed 1it should be], he shall give life for life,

21:24  eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

21:25  burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

21:26  And if any should strike the eye of his man-servant, or the eye of his female attendant, and he should blind; [3free 1he shall send 2them] on account of their eye.

21:27  And if the tooth of the man-servant, or the tooth of his female attendant he should knock out; [3free 1he shall send 2them] on account of their tooth.

21:28  And if [2should gore 1a bull] a man or woman, and either die; with stones you shall stone the bull, and you shall not eat of its meats; but the owner of the bull shall be innocent.

21:29  But if the bull [2goring 1was] before yesterday and before the third day before, and men testified to its owner, and he should not remove it; and if it should have done away with a man or a woman, they shall stone the bull, and the owner of it shall die in addition.

21:30  And if ransoms should be put to him, he shall give ransoms for the life of it, as much as should be put upon him.

21:31  And if a son or daughter should be gored, according to this ordinance they shall observe it.

21:32  And if [4a manservant 3should have gored 1the 2bull] or a maidservant, [4of silver 2thirty 3double-drachmas 1he shall give] to their owner, and the bull shall be stoned.

21:33  And if any should open a pit, or a quarry pit, and should not cover it, and [4should fall in 5there 1a calf 2or 3donkey],

21:34  the owner of the pit shall pay; [2money 1he shall give] to their owner, and the animal coming to an end will be his.

21:35  And if [3should gore 1any 2bull] the bull of the neighbor, and it should come to an end, they shall give over [3bull for sale 1the 2living], and divide the money from it, and the bull having died they shall divide.

21:36  And if it is made known [2the 3bull 1that 5given to goring 4is] before yesterday and before the third day, and [2have been testifying 1they should] to its owner, and he did not remove it, he shall pay bull for bull, but the bull coming to an end will be his.

Chapter 22

22:1  And if any should steal a calf or a sheep, and should slay it, or should sell it, [2five 3calves 1he shall pay] for the calf, and four sheep for the sheep.

22:2  And if [4in 5the 6ditch 3should be found 1the 2thief], and being struck should die, it is not murder to him striking.

22:3  But if the sun should rise upon him, he is liable, he shall die for it; and if there be no possessions to him, let him be sold for the theft.

22:4  And if anything should be left and should be found in his hand from the theft, from both donkey unto sheep which may be living, [2double 3for it 1he shall pay].

22:5  And if any should graze upon a field or a vineyard, and should let his cattle graze upon [2field 1another], he shall pay from his field according to his produce; but if all the field should be grazed upon, [3best 4field 2from his 5and 7best 8vineyard 6from his 1he shall pay].

22:6  And if [2going forth 1a fire] should find thorn-bushes, and should set on fire a threshing-floor, or corn, or a field, [5shall pay 1the one 3the 4fire 2burning with].

22:7  And if any should give to his neighbor silver or items to guard, and it should be stolen from out of the house of the man, if [3should be found 1the 2one stealing] he shall pay double.

22:8  But if [3should not 4be found 1the one 2stealing], [5shall come forward 1the 2master 3of the 4house] before God, and shall swear by an oath that assuredly he did not do wickedly regarding all that was in deposit for the care of his neighbor.

22:9  According to every particular offence, concerning both calf, and beast of burden, and sheep, and garment, and every destruction being accused, the one who then should be, before God [4shall come 1the 2judgment 3of both], then the one convicted by God shall pay double to his neighbor.

22:10  And if any should give to the neighbor a beast of burden, or a calf, or sheep, or any cattle to guard; and it should break, or come to an end, or [2captive 1become], and no one should know,

22:11  there shall be an oath of God between both, swearing that assuredly he had not done wickedly to partake altogether of the deposit put in care by his neighbor, and thus [2shall receive him favorably 1his owner], and he shall not pay.

22:12  And if it be stolen from him, he shall pay the owner of it.

22:13  And if [2taken by wild beasts 1it should be], he shall lead him to the game, and he shall not pay.

22:14  And if anyone should ask to borrow from his neighbor, and it should break, or die, or [2captive 1become], and the owner of it should not be with it, he shall pay.

22:15  But if its owner should be with it, he shall not pay. But if a hireling should be with it, it will be to him for his wage.

22:16  And if any should beguile a virgin not betrothed, and should go to bed with her, [5with a dowry 1he shall endow 2her 3to himself 4as a wife].

22:17  But if in shaking he shakes his head in dissent, and [2should not 3be willing 1her father] to give her to him as wife, [4silver 1he shall pay 2to the 3father], according to as much as is the dowry of the virgins.

22:18  [3administers of potions 1You shall not 2procure].

22:19  Every one going to bed with a beast -- to death you shall kill them.

22:20  The one sacrificing to gods shall be utterly destroyed, except to the lord alone.

22:21  And [3a foreigner 1you shall not 2maltreat], nor should you afflict him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

22:22  Every widow and orphan you shall not maltreat.

22:23  And if you should maltreat them, and crying out they should yell out to me, in hearing I shall listen to their yell,

22:24  and I shall be provoked to anger with rage, and I will kill you by the sword, and [2will be 1your wives] widows, and your children orphans.

22:25  And if money should be lent with interest to the brother that is destitute close to you, you shall not be coercing him, you shall not place [2upon 3him 1interest].

22:26  And if for collateral you should take for security the cloak of your neighbor, before the descent of the sun you shall give it back to him,

22:27  [3is 1for 2this] his wrap-around garment, this alone is [2cloak 3for indecency 1his]; in what manner shall he go to bed? If then he should yell out to me, I will listen to him, [3merciful 1for 2I am].

22:28  [3magistrates 1You shall not 2speak evil of], and rulers of your people you shall not speak wickedly.

22:29  [4first-fruits 5of the threshing-floor 6and 7wine vat 3of your 1You shall not 2be late]. [2first-born 3son 1Your] you shall give to me --

22:30  so shall you do with your calf, and your sheep, and your beast of burden. Seven days it shall be under the mother, but [3day 1the 2eighth] you shall give [2back 3to me 1it].

22:31  And [3men 2holy 1you shall be] to me, and meat in a field taken by wild beasts you shall not eat, [2to the 3dogs 1throw it away]!

Chapter 23

23:1  You shall not welcome [2report 1a vain]. You shall not assent together with the unjust to become [2witness 1an unjust].

23:2  You shall not be with many people for evil. You shall not be added with a multitude to turn aside a judgment.

23:3  And [5because one is needy 1you shall not 2show mercy 3in 4a judgment].

23:4  And if you should meet up with the ox of your enemy, or with his beast of burden wandering, by returning, you shall give it back to him.

23:5  And if you should see the beast of burden of your enemy falling under its load of merchandise, you shall not go by it, but you shall raise it with him.

23:6  You shall not turn aside a judgment of the needy in his judgment.

23:7  From all things unjust you shall abstain. The innocent and the just you shall not kill. And you shall not give justice to the impious because of bribes.

23:8  And bribes you shall not receive; for the bribes blind the eyes for seeing and lay waste [2matters 1just].

23:9  And a foreigner you shall not maltreat, nor in any way afflict. For you know the soul of the foreigner, for you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

23:10  Six years you shall sow your land, and you shall gather its produce,

23:11  but on the seventh [2a release from work 1you shall make], and spare it, and [4shall eat 1the 2poor 3of your nation]; and the things being left behind of them [3shall eat 1the 2wild beasts] of the field. Thus you shall do with your vineyard, and your olive grove.

23:12  Six days you shall do your works, but on the [2day 1seventh] you shall rest, that [3may rest 2ox 1your], and your beast of burden, and that [4may be refreshed 1the 2son 3of your maidservant], and the foreigner.

23:13  All, as much as I have spoken to you, guard! And the name [2gods 1of other] you shall not call to mind, nor should one be heard from out of your mouth.

23:14  Three times of the year solemnize a holiday to me!

23:15  The holiday of the unleavened breads keep to do! Seven days you shall eat unleavened breads, just as I gave charge to you, according to the time of the month of the new produce; for in it you came forth from out of Egypt. You shall not appear before me empty.

23:16  And a holiday of the harvest of the first produce you shall observe of your works, what ever you sow in your field; and a holiday of completion at the conclusion of the year in the gathering of your works, of the ones from out of your field.

23:17  Three times a year [4shall appear 1every 2male 3of yours] before the lord your God.

23:18  For whenever I should cast out the nations from your face, and widen your boundaries, you shall not sacrifice with yeast the blood of my sacrifice, neither shall [3remain through the night 1the fat 2of my holiday feast] until morning.

23:19  The first-fruits of the first produce of your land you shall carry into the house of the lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in [2milk 1her mother's].

23:20  And behold, I send my messenger before your face, that he may guard you in the way, that he may bring you into the land which I prepared for you.

23:21  Take heed to yourself, and hearken to him, and do not resist his persuasion, for he should not avoid you, for my name is upon him!

23:22  If in hearing you shall hearken to my voice, and do all as much as I give charge to you, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will be an adversary to the ones being an adversary of you.

23:23  [3shall go 1For 2my messenger] leading you; and he will bring you to the Amorite, and Hittite, and Perizzite, and Canaanite, and Gergesite, and Hivite, and Jebusite; and I will obliterate them.

23:24  You shall not do obeisance to their gods, nor shall you serve to them. You shall not do according to their works; but by demolition you shall demolish them, and by breaking you shall break their monuments.

23:25  And you shall serve to the lord your God; and I will bless your bread, and your wine, and your water; and I will turn infirmity from you.

23:26  It will not be barren nor sterile upon your land; the number of your days I will fill up.

23:27  And the fear of me I will send leading before you; and I will startle all the nations into which you enter into them; and I will give over all your opponents unto exiles.

23:28  And I will send the swarms of wasps in front of you. And I will cast out the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites from you.

23:29  I will not cast them from your face in [2year 1one], that [3should not become 1the 2land] wilderness, and many [2should happen 3upon 4you 1wild beasts] in the land.

23:30  According to little by little I will cast them from you, until whenever you should grow and be heir to the land.

23:31  And I will establish your boundaries from the red sea unto the sea of the Philistines; and from the wilderness unto the river of the great Euphrates. And I will deliver up into your hands the ones lying in wait in the land; and I will cast them from you.

23:32  You shall not assent together with them, and with their gods you shall not establish a covenant.

23:33  And they shall not lie in wait in your land, lest [2you to sin 1they should cause] against me; for if you should be a slave to their gods, these will be to you an occasion for stumbling.

Chapter 24

24:1  And to Moses he said, Ascend to the lord, you and Aaron and Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel! And they shall do obeisance far off to the lord.

29:19  And you shall take the ram -- the second; and [4shall place 1Aaron 2and 3his sons] their hands upon the head of the ram.

29:20  And you shall slay it, and take of the blood of it, and place it upon the lobe of the ear of Aaron -- of the right one, and upon the big toe of the foot -- of the right one, and upon the lobes of the [2ears 3of his sons 1right], and upon the thumbs [3hands 1of their 2right], and upon the big toes [3feet 1of their 2right].

29:21  And you shall take from of the blood, of blood before the altar, and from the oil of the anointing, and you shall sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his apparel, and upon his sons, and upon the apparels of his sons with him. And you shall sanctify him, and his apparel, and his sons, and the apparels of his sons with him. And the blood of the ram you shall pour before the altar round about.

29:22  And you shall take from the ram its fat, both the fat covering up the belly, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat upon them, and the [2shoulder 1right] -- [3is 1for 4a consecration 2this].

29:23  And [2bread loaf 1one] made with olive oil, and [2pancake 1one] from the bin of the unleavened breads, of the ones being set before the lord.

29:24  And you shall place the whole amount upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons. And you shall separate them as a separation offering before the lord.

29:25  And you shall take them from their hands, and you shall offer them upon the altar of the whole burnt-offering as a scent of pleasant aroma before the lord -- [2a yield offering 1it is] to the lord.

29:26  And you shall take the breast from the ram of the consecration, which is Aaron's, and you shall separate it as a separation offering before the lord -- and it will be to you for a portion.

29:27  And you shall sanctify the [2breast 1separation offering], and the shoulder of the choice portion which has been separated, and which has been removed from the ram of the consecration -- from Aaron, and from his sons.

29:28  And it will be to Aaron, and to his sons [2law 1an eternal] for the sons of Israel, [3is 1for 4a choice portion 2this]; and [2a choice portion 1it will be] by the sons of Israel from the things offered in sacrifices of the deliverance offerings -- a choice portion to the lord.

29:29  And the apparel of the holy place which is Aaron's, shall be to his sons' after him, for them to be anointed in them, and to perfect their hands.

29:30  Seven days he shall put them on -- the priest replacing him from his sons, who shall enter into the tent of the testimony to officiate in the holy place.

29:31  And the ram of the consecration you shall take, and you shall boil the meats in [2place 1the holy].

29:32  And [4shall eat 1Aaron 2and 3his sons] the meats of the ram, and the bread loaves that are in the bin by the door of the tent of the testimony.

29:33  They shall eat the offerings with which they were sanctified by them, to perfect their hands, to sanctify them. And a foreigner shall not eat from them, for it is holy.

29:34  And if anything should be left behind from the meats of the sacrifice of the consecration, and of the bread loaves, until morning, you shall incinerate the remainder with fire; it shall not be eaten, [3sanctified 1for 2it is].

29:35  And you shall do for Aaron and his sons thus according to all as much as I gave charge to you. Seven days you shall perfect their hands.

29:36  And the young calf, the one of the sin offering, you shall offer in the day of cleansing. And you shall cleanse the altar in your sanctifying upon it. And you shall anoint it so as to sanctify it.

29:37  Seven days you shall cleanse the altar, and sanctify it. And [3will be 1the 2altar] a holy of the holies; all touching the altar shall be sanctified.

29:38  And these are what you shall offer upon the altar -- lambs of a year old, unblemished, two for each day perpetually -- a yield offering of perpetuity.

29:39  The lamb -- the first one you shall offer in the morning, and the [2lamb 1second], you shall offer at dusk.

29:40  And a tenth measure of fine flour being mixed with olive oil being beaten to the fourth part of a hin; and a libation -- the fourth part of the hin of wine to the lamb -- to the first one.

29:41  And the lamb -- the second, you shall offer at dusk, after the manner of the sacrifice -- the early morning, and according to its libation you shall do it for a scented pleasant aroma, a yield offering to the lord;

29:42  [2sacrifice 1a perpetual] unto your generations upon the doors of the tent of the testimony before the lord, in which I will be known to you there, so as to speak to you.

29:43  And I will give orders there to the sons of Israel, and I will be sanctified in my glory.

29:44  And I will sanctify the tent of the testimony, and the altar; and Aaron, and his sons I will sanctify, to officiate as priests to me.

29:45  And I will be called upon by the sons of Israel, and I will be their God.

29:46  And they shall know that I am the lord their God, the one leading them from out of the land of Egypt, to be called upon by them, and to be their God.

Chapter 30

30:1  And you shall make an altar of incense from out of [2wood 1incorruptible].

30:2  And you shall make it a cubit in length, and a cubit in breadth -- four-cornered is shall be, and two cubits in height; from out of it will be its horns.

30:3  And you shall gild these [2gold 1in pure] -- its grates, and its walls round about, and its horns. And you shall make for it a twisted [2rim 1gold] round about.

30:4  And two rings [2gold 1of pure] for it you shall make under [2twisted 3rim 1its] for the two corners. You shall make them on two sides, and they will be clips for the staves so as to lift it by them.

30:5  And you shall make staves from out of [2wood 1incorruptible], and you shall gild them in gold.

30:6  And you shall put it before the veil being for the ark of the testimony, in which I shall be made known to you there.

30:7  And [2will burn incense 3upon 4it 1Aaron]; incense compounded fine -- in the morning by morning. Whenever he should trim the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.

30:8  And whenever Aaron should ignite the lamps late, he shall burn incense upon it -- incense of perpetuity, continually before the lord unto your generations.

30:9  And you shall not offer upon it [2incense 1another]. A yield offering, and a sacrifice offering, and a libation offering you shall not offer upon it.

30:10  And [2shall atone 1Aaron] upon its horns once a year. From the blood of the cleansing of sins of the making an atonement once a year he shall cleanse it for your generations; [2a holy 3of holies 1it is] to the lord.

30:11  And the lord spoke to Moses, saying,

30:12  If you should take the assessment of the sons of Israel in the overseeing of them, then [2shall give 1each] ransoms for his soul to the lord, and there shall not be among them a failure in the overseeing of them.

30:13  And this is what they shall give, as many as pass the numbering -- the half double-drachma, which it shall be according to the double-drachma of the holy place -- twenty oboli to the double-drachma; but the half double-drachma is a contribution to the lord.

30:14  Every one passing in the numbering from twenty years old and above shall give the contribution to the lord.

30:15  The ones being rich shall not add more, and the ones needing shall not add less from the half of the double-drachma in the giving the contribution to the lord to atone for your souls.

30:16  And you shall take the silver of the contribution given by the sons of Israel, and you shall give it for the upkeep of the tent of the testimony. And it will be to the sons of Israel a memorial before the lord, to atone for your souls.

30:17  And the lord spoke to Moses, saying,

30:18  Make a bathing tub of brass, and a base for it of brass, so as to wash. And you shall put it between the tent of the testimony, and between the altar. And you shall pour into it water.

30:19  And [4shall wash 1Aaron 2and 3his sons] from it their hands and their feet.

30:20  Whenever they should enter into the tent of the testimony they shall wash in water, and no way shall they die. Or whenever they should go to the altar to officiate and to offer the whole burnt-offerings to the lord,

30:21  they shall wash their hands and their feet in water, that they should not die. And it will be to them [2law 1an eternal], to him and his generations after him.

30:22  And the lord spoke to Moses, saying,

30:23  And you take spices, the flower [2myrrh 1of choice] -- five hundred shekels, and [2cinnamon 1sweet smelling] half of this -- two hundred and fifty, and [2calamus 1sweet smelling] -- two hundred fifty,

30:24  and of oil of cassia -- five hundred shekels of the holy place, and olive oil from olives -- a hin!

30:25  And you shall make it [3oil 2scented unguent 1a holy], a perfumed liquid scented by the craft of a perfumer -- [4oil 3scented unguent 2a holy 1it shall be].

30:26  And you shall anoint with it the tent of the testimony, and the ark of the testimony,

30:27  and all its utensils, and the lamp-stand, and its utensils, and the altar of incense,

30:28  and the altar of the whole burnt-offerings, and all its utensils, and the table, and all its utensils, and the bathing tub, and its base.

30:29  And you shall sanctify them. And they shall be a holy of the holies. Every one touching them shall be sanctified.

30:30  And Aaron and his sons you shall anoint, and you shall sanctify them to officiate as priests to me.

30:31  And to the sons of Israel you shall speak, saying, An oil of anointing -- [2anointing 1a holy] this will be to you into your generations.

30:32  [2upon 3the flesh 4of man 1You shall not anoint with it]. And concerning this composition, you shall not make any to you yourselves likewise -- it is holy, and it shall be sanctified to you.

30:33  Who ever should make likewise, and who ever should give of it to a foreigner, he shall be utterly destroyed from his people.

30:34  And the lord said to Moses, Take to yourself spices -- balsam, and onycha, and [2galbanum 1luscious], and [2frankincense 1transparent], equal to equal it will be.

30:35  And they shall make with it [2incense 1scented], a work of a perfumer -- [4being mixed 1a pure 3work 2holy].

30:36  And you shall cut of these into fine parts, and you shall put it before the testimony in the tent of the testimony from where I will be known to you from there. [3a holy 4of the 5holies 1It will be 2to you] incense.

30:37  According to this composition you shall not make to you yourselves -- it shall be a sanctified thing to you to the lord.

30:38  Who ever should make likewise so as to smell by it, he shall be destroyed from out of his people.

Chapter 31

31:1  And the lord spoke to Moses, saying,

31:2  Behold, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

31:3  And I filled him [2spirit 1a divine] of wisdom, and understanding, and higher knowledge, [2in 3every 4work 1to consider],

31:4  and to supervise construction; to work the gold, and the silver, and the brass, and the blue, and the purple and the [2scarlet 1spun],

31:5  and the linen being twined, and the stonecutting works, and for the woodworkers of the works of wood -- to work according to all the works.

31:6  And I have given him even Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And to every one discerning in heart I have given understanding. And they shall make all as much as I gave orders to you --

31:7  the tent of the testimony, and the ark of the covenant, and the atonement-seat, the one upon it, and the equipment of the tent,

31:8  and the altars, and the table, and all the utensils for it, and the [2lamp-stand 1pure], and all the utensils for it,

31:9  and the bathing tub, and its base,

31:10  and the [2apparels 1ministry] of Aaron, and the apparels of his sons in the officiating as priest to me,

31:11  and the [2oil 1anointing], and the incense of the composition of the holy place -- according to all as much as I gave charge to you they shall make.

31:12  And the lord spoke to Moses, saying,

31:13  You also speak to the sons of Israel! saying, Perceive, and [2my Sabbaths 1guard]! For it is a sign by me and among you unto your generations, that you might know that I the lord am the one sanctifying you.

31:14  And you shall guard the Sabbath, for [2holy 1it is] to you. The one profaning it, unto death shall be put to death. Every one who shall do [2on 3it 1work], [2shall be utterly destroyed 1that soul] from the midst of his people.

31:15  Six days you shall do works, but the [2day 1seventh 4Sabbath 5rest 3is a holy] to the lord. All who shall do work on the day of the Sabbaths shall be put to death.

31:16  And [4shall guard 1the 2sons 3of Israel] the Sabbaths to observe them unto their generations.

31:17  [2covenant 1It is an eternal] with me and the sons of Israel, [3sign 1it is 2an eternal]. For in six days the lord made the heaven and the earth, and on the [2day 1seventh] he ceased and rested.

31:18  And he gave to Moses, when he rested from speaking to him in mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony -- tablets of stone, written by the finger of God.

Chapter 32

32:1  And [3seeing 1the 2people] that Moses passed time to come down from out of the mountain, [3stood together 1the 2people] by Aaron, and they say to him, Rise up and make for us gods! the ones who will go before us. For Moses, this man who led us from out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.

32:2  And [2says 3to them 1Aaron], Remove the [2ear-rings 1gold]! the ones in the ears of your wives, and daughters; and bring them to me!

32:3  And [4removed 1all 2the 3people 4the 6ear-rings 5gold], the ones in their ears, and they brought them to Aaron.

32:4  And he took them from out of their hands, and he shaped them with the stylus. And he made it [2calf 1a molten]. And they said, These are your gods, O Israel, who hauled you from out of the land of Egypt.

32:5  And seeing, Aaron built an altar over against it. And Aaron proclaimed, saying, A holiday of the lord is tomorrow.

32:6  And rising early in the next day, he offered whole burnt-offerings, and he offered the sacrifice of deliverance. And [3sat 1the 2people] to eat and to drink, and they rose up to play.

32:7  And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, Proceed quickly! to go down from here, [3acted lawlessly 1for 2your people], whom you led from the land of Egypt.

32:8  They violate quickly from the way which I gave charge to them; they made to themselves a calf, and they do obeisance to it, and they have sacrificed to it. And they said, These are your gods, O Israel, who hauled you from the land of Egypt.

32:9  And now allow me! for being enraged in anger against them, I will obliterate them.

32:10  And I will make you into [2nation 1a great].

32:11  And Moses beseeched in front of the lord God, and said, Why, O lord, be enraged in anger against your people, whom you led from out of the land of Egypt in [2strength 1great], and with [3arm 1your 2high]?

32:12  lest at any time [3should say 1the 2Egyptians], in saying, With wickedness he led them to kill them in the mountains, and to completely consume them from the earth. Cease in the anger of your rage, and [2propitious 1be] to the evil of your people!

32:13  remembering Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob your servants, to whom you swore by an oath to them according to yourself. And you spoke to them, saying, I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven in multitude, and all this land which you spoke of to give it to their seed, so that they shall hold it into the eon.

32:14  And the lord dealt kindly concerning the bad which he said he would do to his people.

32:15  And Moses returning, went down from the mountain along with the two tablets of the testimony in his hands -- tablets of stone, having been written on both their parts; on this side and that side they were written.

32:16  And the tablets [2a work 3of God 1were], and the writing, [2a writing 3of God 1is] chiseled in the tablets.

32:17  And Joshua hearing the voice of the people crying out, says to Moses, It is a sound of war in the camp.

32:18  And he says, It is not a sound originating from strength, nor a sound originating by a routing of the enemy, but a sound originating from wine I hear.

32:19  And when he approached the camp, he sees the calf and the company of dancers. And [2being provoked to anger 3in rage 1Moses] tossed from his hands the two tablets, and he broke them below the mountain.

32:20  And having taken the calf which they made, he incinerated it in fire, and ground it fine, and sowed it upon the water, and made [4drink 5it 1the 2sons 3of Israel].

32:21  And Moses said to Aaron, What did [2do 3to you 1this people] that you brought upon them [2sin 1a great]?

32:22  And Aaron said to Moses, Be not provoked to anger, O master! for you know the impulse of this people.

32:23  For they say to me, Make us gods! which shall go before us, for [3Moses 1this 2man], who led us out of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.

32:24  And I said to them, Anyone who possesses pieces of gold, remove them! And they gave them to me, and I tossed them into the fire, and there came forth this calf.

32:25  And Moses seeing the people, that they have been dispersed, [3dispersed 1for 4them 2Aaron] to be a derision to their opponents.

32:26  Moses stood at the gate of the camp, and he said, Who is for the lord? Come to me! [6came together 1Then 7to 8him 2all 3the 4sons 5of Levi].

32:27  And he says to them, Thus says the lord God of Israel, Let [2put 1each] on himself a broadsword upon his thigh! And let him go through and return from gate to gate through the camp! and let [2kill 1each] his brethren, and each his neighbor, and each the one nearest him!

32:28  And [4did 1the 2sons 3of Levi] as [2said 3to them 1Moses]. And there fell of the people in that day three thousand males.

32:29  And [2said 3to them 1Moses], You filled your hands today to the lord; each one on his brother, and his son, to give upon you a blessing.

32:30  And it came to pass after the next morning, Moses said to the people, You have sinned [2sin 1a great]. And now I will ascend to God, that I might make atonement on account of your sin.

32:31  [3returned 1And 2Moses] to the lord, and said, I beseech O lord, [2have sinned 1this people 4sin 3a great], and made to themselves golden gods.

32:32  And now, if forasmuch as you forgive them of their sin -- forgive! But if not, wipe me away from out of your book of which you wrote!

32:33  And the lord said to Moses, If any sin before me, I will wipe them from out of my book.

32:34  And now, proceed, and guide this people into the place which I told to you! Behold, my angel shall go forth before your face, and in whatever day I should visit, I will bring upon them their sin.

32:35  And the lord struck the people on account of the making of the calf, which Aaron made.

Chapter 33

33:1  And the lord said to Moses, Go forth, ascend from here, you and your people! whom you led from out of the land of Egypt, into the land which I swore by an oath to Abraham, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To your seed I will give it.

33:2  And I will send along my angel before your face; and he will cast out the Amorite, and Hittite, and Perizzite, and Gergesite, and Hivite, and Jebusite, and Canaanite.

33:3  And I will bring you into a land flowing milk and honey. [3not 1For 2I will] go up with you, because [4people 3a hard-necked 1you 2are], that I should not completely consume you in the way.

33:4  And [3hearing 1the 2people 5saying 4this severe], mourned in mourning.

33:5  And the lord said to the sons of Israel, You are a people hard-necked; see that [2do not 5calamity 4another 1I 3bring] upon you! and should completely consume you. Now then remove [2apparels 1your glorious], and the ornament! and I will show to you what I will do to you.

33:6  And [4removed 1the 2sons 3of Israel] their ornamentation, and the attire at the mountain of Horeb.

33:7  And Moses, taking his tent, pitched outside the camp far from the camp. And it was called -- Tent of Testimony. And it came to pass, all the ones seeking the lord went forth unto the tent outside the camp.

33:8  And whenever Moses entered into the tent outside the camp, [4stood 1all 2the 3people] watching, each one by the door of his tent. And they contemplated Moses' going away unto his entering into the tent.

33:9  And as Moses entered into the tent, [4came down 1the 2column 3of cloud] and stood at the door of the tent, and he spoke to Moses.

33:10  And [4saw 1all 2the 3people] the column of cloud standing by the door of the tent. And [4stood 1all 2the 3people]. And they did obeisance, each from the door of his tent.

33:11  And the lord spoke to Moses face to face, as if any might speak to his own friend. And he retired into the camp. And the attendant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not go forth from out of the tent.

33:12  And Moses said to the lord, Behold, you say to me, Lead this people! But you manifested not to me whom you shall send along with me. But you said to me, I know you above all, and [2favor 1you have] with me.

33:13  If then I have found favor before you, reveal to me yourself knowingly! that I might see you, how ever I should be found in favor before you; and that I might know, that [2is your people 1this nation].

33:14  And he says, I myself will go before you, and will rest you.

33:15  And he says to him, Unless you yourself should go with us, [2not 4me 1you should 3lead] from here.

33:16  And how [3be made known 1will it 2truly] that I have found favor by you -- I and also your people, unless you are going with us, and [4will be glorified 1both I 2and 3your people] by all the nations, as many as [2upon 3the 4earth 1are]?

33:17  [3said 1And 2the lord] to Moses, And this [5to you 1word 2which 3you have said 4I will do], for you have found favor before me, and I know you above all.

33:18  And he says, Show to me your own glory!

33:19  And he said, I will go by in front of you in my glory; and I will call the name, the lord, before you; and I will show mercy on whom ever I should show mercy, and I will pity whom ever I should pity.

33:20  And he said, You will not be able to see my face, for not in any way may [2see 1man] my face, and shall live.

33:21  And the lord said, Behold, a place by me. And you shall stand upon the rock;

33:22  and when ever [2should go by 1my glory], even I will put you into an opening in the rock, and I will shelter with my hand upon you until whenever I should go by.

33:23  And I shall remove the hand, and then you shall see the rear of me, but my face will not appear to you.

Chapter 34

34:1  And the lord said to Moses, Dress to yourself two tablets of stone, as also the first, and ascend to me into the mountain! and I will write upon the tablets the words which were upon the [2tablets 1first], which you broke.

34:2  And come prepared in the morning! and you shall ascend upon mount Sinai, and you shall stand there to me upon the tip of the mountain.

34:3  And let no one ascend with you, nor appear in all the mountain! And the sheep and the oxen let them not feed neighboring that mountain!

34:4  And he dressed two tablets of stone, just as also the first. And Moses rising early in the morning ascended unto mount Sinai, in so far as [2ordered 3him 1the lord]. And Moses took with himself the two tablets, the ones of stone.

34:5  And the lord came down in a cloud, and stood beside him there. And he called by the name of the lord.

34:6  And the lord went by before his face, and called out, The lord, The lord God, pitying and merciful, lenient and full of mercy and true,

34:7  and [2righteousness 1observing], and doing mercy for thousands, removing lawlessnesses, and iniquities, and sins; and the ones liable he will not cleanse; bringing the lawlessnesses of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children of the children, unto the third and fourth generation.

34:8  And Moses hastening, bowing upon the earth, did obeisance.

34:9  And he said, If I have found favor before you, let [2go 1my lord] with us! [2the 3people 1For] are hard-necked. And you shall remove the sins, and our lawless deeds, and we will be yours.

34:10  And the lord said to Moses, Behold, I establish with you a covenant before all your people. And I will do honorable, which has not happened in all the earth, and with any nation. And [7shall see 1all 2the 3people 4among 5whom 6you are] the works of the lord, for it is wonderful what I will do for you.

34:11  You heed all as much as I give charge to you! Behold, I cast out before your face the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Gergesite, and the Jebusite.

34:12  Take heed to yourself! lest at any time you should establish a covenant with the ones lying in wait upon the land, into which you enter into it, lest at any time it become an occasion of stumbling to you.

34:13  Their shrines you shall demolish, and their monuments you shall break, and their sacred groves you shall cut down, and the carvings of their gods you shall incinerate in fire.

34:14  For you should not do obeisance to other gods. For the lord God, a jealous name, [2God 1is a jealous];

34:15  lest at any time you should establish a covenant with the ones lying in wait upon the land, and they should fornicate after their gods, and should sacrifice to their gods, and they should call you, and you should eat of their sacrifices;

34:16  and you should take of their daughters to your sons, and of your daughters you should give to their sons; and [2should fornicate 1your daughters] after their gods, and [2will fornicate 1your sons] after their gods.

34:17  And [4gods 3molten 1you shall not make 2to yourself].

34:18  And the holiday of the unleavened breads you shall guard; seven days you shall eat unleavened breads, just as I gave charge to you, at the time in the month of the new produce. For in the month of the new produce you came forth out of Egypt.

34:19  All opening wide the womb -- to me are the males; first-born of the calf, and of the sheep.

34:20  And a first-born beast of burden you shall ransom with a sheep. But if you will not ransom it, [2value 1you shall give] for it. Every first-born of your sons you shall ransom. You shall not appear before me empty.

34:21  Six days you shall work, but the [2day 1seventh] you shall rest -- in the sowing and in the harvest you shall rest.

34:22  And a holiday of a period of sevens you shall observe to me, the beginning of the harvest of wheat, and a holiday gathering being in the middle of the year.

34:23  Three times of the year [4shall appear 1every 2male 3of yours] before the lord God of Israel.

34:24  For whenever I shall cast out the nations from your face, and I widen your borders, [2shall desire 1no one] your land, when ever you ascend to appear before the lord your God three times a year.

34:25  You shall not slay [3with 4yeast 1the blood 2of my sacrifices]; and [2shall not remain through the night 3into 4 the morning 1that which is offered in sacrifices] for the holiday of the passover.

34:26  The first produce of your land you shall carry into the house of the lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in the milk of its mother.

34:27  And the lord said to Moses, Write to yourself these words! for upon these words I have established to you a covenant, and to Israel.

34:28  And [2was 3there 1Moses] before the lord forty days and forty nights. Bread he did not eat, and water he did not drink. And he wrote upon the tablets these words of the covenant -- the ten words.

34:29  And as Moses went down from mount Sinai, even the two tablets were upon the hands of Moses. [3going down 1And 2in his] from the mountain, even Moses did not know that [6was glorified 1the 2appearance 3of the 4complexion 5of his face] in his speaking to him.

34:30  And [7saw 1Aaron 2and 3all 4the 5sons 6of Israel] Moses; and he was being glorified in the appearance of the complexion of his face. And they feared to approach him.

34:31  And [2called 3them 1Moses]; and [2turned 3towards 4him 1Aaron] and all the rulers of the congregation. And [2spoke 3to them 1Moses].

34:32  And after these things came forward to him all the sons of Israel. And he gave charge to them all as much as the lord spoke to him on mount Sinai.

34:33  And as soon as he rested speaking to them, he placed upon his face a covering.

34:34  And when ever Moses entered before the lord to speak to him, he removed the covering until exiting. And going forth he spoke to all the sons of Israel, as much as [2gave charge 3to him 1the lord].

34:35  And [4saw 1the 2sons 3of Israel] the face of Moses, that it was glorified; and Moses put the covering upon his face until whenever he entered to converse together with him.

Chapter 35

35:1  And Moses gathered together all the congregation of the sons of Israel. And he said to them, These are the words which the lord told them to do.

35:2  Six days you shall do works, but on the [2day 1seventh] you shall rest a holy Sabbath rest to the lord; every one doing work on it -- let him come to an end.

35:3  You shall not burn a fire in any place of your house on the day of the Sabbaths -- I am the lord.

35:4  And Moses said to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, This is the saying which the lord ordered, saying,

35:5  Take from yourselves of them -- a choice-portion to the lord. Every one appreciating in his heart shall bring the first-fruits to the lord -- gold, silver, brass,

35:6  blue, purple, scarlet [2double 1being spun], and linen being twined, and hair of goats,

35:7  and skins of rams dyed red, and skins of blue, and [2wood 1incorruptible],

35:8  and oil for the giving light, and incense for the oil of the anointing, and for the compound of the incense,

35:9  and stones of sardius, and stones for the carving for the shoulder-piece and for the oracle.

35:10  And all the wise in thought among you, in coming, let him work all things as much as the lord ordered --

35:11  the tent, and the covering sheets of leather, and the coverings, and the clasps, and the posts, and the bars, and the pegs, and bases,

35:12  the ark, and its bearing poles, and the atonement-seat, and the veil,

35:13  and the table, and its bearing poles, and all its utensils, and the bread loaves of the place setting,

35:14  and the lamp-stand of the light, and all its utensils, and its lamps, and the oil of the light,

35:15  and the altar of the incense, and the bearing poles of it, and the oil for the anointing, and incense for the composition, and the draw curtain for the door of the tent,

35:16  and the altar of the whole burnt-offering, and [3grate 1its 2brass], and its bearing poles, and all its utensils, and the bathing tub, and it base,

35:19  and the apparels in which they officiate in them in the holy place, and the inner garments for the sons of Aaron for the priesthood, and the oil of the anointing, and the incense of the composition.

35:20  And went forth all the congregation of the sons of Israel from Moses.

35:21  And [2brought 1each] what [3offered 1their 2heart]. And the ones which it seemed good in their soul brought a choice portion to the lord for all the works of the tent of the testimony, and for all the upkeep of it, and for all the [2apparels 1holy].

35:22  And [3brought 1the 2men] from the women every thing which seemed good in their thought. They brought seals, and ear-rings, and rings, and wreaths, and right armbands -- every item of gold.

35:23  And all as many as brought choice-portions of gold to the lord, and all which was found by them of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and skins of rams being dyed red, and skins of blue -- they brought.

35:24  And everyone removing the choice-portion silver and brass, brought the choice-portions to the lord. And from whomever [3was found 2wood 1incorruptible] for all the works of the preparation -- they brought.

35:25  And every woman wise in considering with the hands to spin, brought works being spun -- the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the linen.

35:26  And all the women to whom it seemed good in their consideration with wisdom, spun the hair of the goats.

35:27  And the rulers brought the stones of emerald, and the stones for the filling in the shoulder-piece, and for the oracle,

35:28  and the compositions, and for the oil of the anointing, and the composition of the incense.

35:29  And every man and woman which brought their consideration, entering to do all the work; as many as the lord ordered them to do through Moses -- [4brought 1the 2sons 3of Israel] the choice-portion to the lord.

35:30  And Moses said to the sons of Israel, Behold, God has called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

35:31  And he filled him with [2spirit 1divine] of wisdom, and understanding, and of higher knowledge of all things;

35:32  to supervise construction according to all the works of the construction; to prepare the gold, and the silver, and the brass,

35:33  and to cut the stone, and to manufacture the wood things, and to produce with every work of wisdom.

35:34  And [3assistance 1indeed 2God gave] in the considering to him, and also to Aholiab, to the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

35:35  And he filled them with wisdom of understanding in considering all things, to perceive, to make the works of the holy place, and the woven works, and embroidered works; to weave with the scarlet and with the linen; to make every work of construction and embroidery.

36:2  And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and all the ones having the wisdom, to whom God gave higher knowledge in the heart, and all of the ones voluntarily willing to go to the works so as to complete them.

36:3  And they took from Moses all the choice-portion offerings which [4brought 1the 2sons 3of Israel] for all the works of the holy place, to prepare them. And they favorably received still the things being brought from the ones bringing morning by morning.

36:4  And [4came 1all 2the 3wise ones], the ones doing the works of the holy place, each according to his own work, which they worked.

36:5  And they said to Moses, that, [4a multitude 3bring 1The 2people] for the works, as much as the lord ordered to do.

36:6  And Moses assigned, and proclaimed in the camp, saying, Let a man and woman no longer work in the first-fruits of the holy place. And [3were restrained 1the 2people] still to bring.

36:7  And the supply of works was to them enough for [2the 3furniture 1making]; and they left surplus.

36:8  And [7produced 1every 2wise one 3in thought 4among 5the ones 6working] for the tent ten curtains from out of linen being twined, and blue and purple, and scarlet being twined; [3with cherubim 4the work 5of a weaver 1he made 2them].

39:42  According to all as much as the lord gave orders to Moses, thus [4made 1the 2sons 3of Israel] all the accoutrements. And Moses saw all the works; and they were doing them in the manner the lord gave orders

39:43  to Moses; thus they did them, and [2blessed 3them 1Moses].

Chapter 40

40:1  And the lord spoke to Moses, saying,

40:2  On day one of the month of the first new moon, you shall set up the tent of the testimony,

40:3  and you shall set up there the ark of the testimony, and you shall shelter the ark by the veil.

40:4  And you shall carry in the table, and you shall set its place setting. And you shall carry in the lamp-stand, and you shall place on it its lamps.

40:5  And you shall place the [2altar 1golden] to burn incense before the ark of the testimony. And you shall place a covering veil upon the door of the tent.

40:6  And the altar of the yield offerings you shall put by the door of the tent of the testimony.

40:7  And you shall place the bathing tub between the tent of the testimony and between the altar. And you shall put [2in 3it 1water].

40:8  And you shall station the courtyard round about. And you shall station the veil of the gate of the courtyard.

40:9  And you shall take the oil of the scented unguent, and you shall anoint the tent, and all the things in it. And you shall sanctify it, and all its items. And it shall be holy.

40:10  And you shall anoint the altar of the yield offerings, and all its utensils.

40:11  And you shall anoint the bathing tub, and its base, and you shall sanctify it. And you shall sanctify the altar. And it will be the altar of the holy of the holies.

40:12  And you shall lead Aaron and his sons unto the doors of the tent of the testimony, and you shall bathe them in water.

40:13  And you shall put on Aaron the [2apparels 1holy], and you shall anoint him, and you shall sanctify him, and he shall officiate as priest to me.

40:14  And his sons you shall lead forward, and you shall put on them inner garments.

40:15  And you shall anoint them in which manner you anointed their father, and they shall officiate as priests to me. And it will be so as to be to them an anointing priesthood into the eon, unto their generations.

40:16  And Moses did all as much as [2gave charge 3to him 1the lord] -- thus he did.

40:17  And it came to pass in the [2month 1first], in the second year of their going forth from out of Egypt, at the new moon, [3was set up 1the 2tent].

40:18  And Moses set up the tent, and placed the tips, and inserted the bars, and set up its posts.

40:19  And he stretched out the curtains upon the tent, and they placed the [2coverings 1tent] upon it from above -- as the lord gave orders to Moses.

40:20  And taking the testimonies, he put them into the ark, and he placed the poles under the ark, and he placed the atonement-seat upon the ark.

40:21  And he carried the ark into the tent, and he set the covering of the veil, and it sheltered the ark of the testimony in which manner the lord gave orders to Moses.

40:22  And he placed the table in the tent of the testimony, upon the side of the tent of the testimony, the one towards the north, from outside the veil of the tent.

40:23  And he set upon it the bread loaves of the place setting before the lord, in which manner the lord gave orders to Moses.

40:24  And he put the lamp-stand in the tent of the testimony before the table, to the side of the tent towards the south.

40:25  And he placed upon it its lamps before the lord, in which manner the lord gave orders to Moses.

40:26  And he put the [2altar 1golden] in the tent of the testimony before the veil.

40:27  And he burned incense upon it, the incense of the composition, just as the lord gave orders to Moses.

40:28  And he placed the draw curtain of the door of the tent.

40:29  And the altar of the yield offerings he put by the door of the tent of the testimony. And he offered on it a whole burnt-offering, and a sacrifice offering, as [2gave orders 1the lord] to Moses.

40:30  And he put the bathing tub between the tent of the testimony, and between the altar. And he placed [2in 3it 1water]

40:31  for [6to wash 7from 8it 1Moses 2and 3Aaron 4and 5his sons] their hands and feet,

40:32  in their entering into the tent of the testimony; or whenever they went to the altar to officiate, they washed from it, as the lord gave orders to Moses.

40:33  And he set up the courtyard round about the tent and the testimony, and he stationed the draw curtain of the door of the courtyard. And Moses completed all the works.

40:34  And [3covered 1the 2cloud] the tent of the testimony, and [4of the glory 5of the lord 3was filled 1the 2tent].

40:35  And [2was not able 1Moses] to enter into the tent of the testimony, for [3overshadowed 4upon 5it 1the 2cloud], and [4of the glory 5of the lord 3was filled 1the 2tent].

40:36  And when ever [3ascended 1the 2cloud] from the tent, [4broke camp 1the 2sons 3of Israel] with their chattel.

40:37  But if [3ascends not 1the 2cloud], they did not break camp till the day which [3ascended 1the 2cloud].

40:38  For the cloud was upon the tent by day, and fire was upon it by night, before all Israel, in all their marchings.
