Jubilee2000 - Exodus

Chapter 1

1:1  Now these [are] the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt with Jacob; each one came in with his household.

1:2  Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,

1:3  Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

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

1:5  And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt [already].

1:6  And Joseph died and all his brethren and all that generation.

1:7  And the sons of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly and multiplied and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

1:8  Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.

1:9  And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the sons of Israel [are] more and mightier than we.

1:10  Now, therefore, let us be wise concerning him, that he not multiply and it come to pass that when war comes, he shall also join with our enemies and fight against us and [so] leave the land.

1:11  Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built the supply cities for Pharaoh: Pithom and Raamses.

1:12  But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew, so much that they loathed the sons of Israel.

1:13  And the Egyptians made the sons of Israel serve with rigor,

1:14  and they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, [making] mortar and brick and in all manner of service in the field; all their service, in which they made them serve, [was] with rigor.

1:15  And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and another [named] Puah;

1:16  and he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women and see [the] sex, if it [is] a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it [is] a daughter, then she shall live.

1:17  But the midwives feared God and did not [do] as the king of Egypt commanded them but gave the men children their lives.

1:18  And the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing and have given the men children their lives?

1:19  And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women [are] not as the Egyptian women, for they [are] lively and are delivered before the midwives come in unto them.

1:20  Therefore God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and waxed very mighty.

1:21  And it came to pass because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.

1:22  Then Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall give them their lives.:

Chapter 2

2:1  And a man of the house of Levi went and took [to wife] a daughter of Levi,

2:2  who conceived and gave birth to a son, and seeing that he was beautiful, she hid him three months.

2:3  And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes and daubed it with slime and with pitch and put the child in it, and she laid [it] in the reeds by the river's brink.

2:4  And his sister stood afar off to see what would happen to him.

2:5  And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash [herself] at the river, and walking with her maidens along by the river's side, she saw the ark among the reeds; she sent her maid to bring it.

2:6  And when she had opened [it], she saw the child, and, behold, the babe wept. And having compassion on him, she said, This [is one] of the Hebrews' children.

2:7  Then his sister said unto Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women that she may nurse the child for thee?

2:8  And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.

2:9  And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I will give [thee] thy wages. And the woman took the child and nursed it.

2:10  And when the child grew, she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, for she said, Because I drew him out of the water.

2:11  And it came to pass in those days when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren and looked on their burdens, and he spied an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.

2:12  And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that [there was] no one, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

2:13  And when he went out the next day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together, and he said to him that did the wrong, Why smitest thou thy fellow?

2:14  And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? Doest thou intend to kill me as thou killed the Egyptian? And Moses feared and said, Surely this thing is known.

2:15  Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well.

2:16  Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters who came and drew [water] to fill the troughs to water their father's sheep.

2:17  But the pastors came and drove them away. Then Moses stood up and defended them and watered their sheep.

2:18  And when they returned unto Reuel, their father, he said, How [is it that] ye are come so soon today?

2:19  And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the pastors and also drew [water] enough for us and watered the sheep.

2:20  And he said unto his daughters, And where [is] he? Why [is] it [that] ye have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.

2:21  And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter.

2:22  And she gave birth to a son, and he called his name Gershon, for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.

2:23  And it came to pass in process of time that the king of Egypt died, and the sons of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God from [their] bondage.

2:24  And God heard their groaning and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

2:25  And God looked upon the sons of Israel, and God recognized them.:

Chapter 3

3:1  Now as Moses shepherded the sheep of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, he led the flock to the backside of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

3:2  And the Angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush [was] not consumed.

3:3  Then Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great vision, why the bush is not burnt.

3:4  And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here [am] I.

3:5  And he said, Do not come near; take off thy shoes from thy feet, for the place upon which thou dost stand [is] holy ground.

3:6  Moreover he said, I [am] the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses covered his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

3:7  And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who [are] in Egypt and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

3:8  and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land unto a good and broad land, unto a land flowing with milk and honey, unto the places of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.

3:9  Therefore, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has now come before me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

3:10  Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh that thou may bring forth my people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.

3:11  Then Moses said unto God, Who [am] I that I should go unto Pharaoh and that I should bring forth the sons of Israel out of Egypt?

3:12  And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this [shall be] a token unto thee that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.

3:13  And Moses said unto God, Behold, [when] I come unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, The God of your fathers has sent me unto you, and if they say to me, What [is] his name? What shall I say unto them?

3:14  And God answered unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM. And he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the sons of Israel: I AM ([YHWH]) has sent me unto you.

3:15  And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the sons of Israel: The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me unto you. This [is] my name for ever, and this [is] my memorial unto all ages.

3:16  Go and gather the elders of Israel together and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you and [seen] that which is done to you in Egypt,

3:17  and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite unto a land flowing with milk and honey.

3:18  And they shall hearken to thy voice, and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews has found us; therefore, we shall now go three days' journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.

3:19  For I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go except by a mighty hand.

3:20  But I will stretch out my hand and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof, and after that he will let you go.

3:21  And I will give this people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty;

3:22  but every woman shall demand of her neighbour and of her that sojourns in her house, vessels of silver and vessels of gold and clothing; and ye shall put [them] upon your sons and upon your daughters, and ye shall spoil Egypt.:

Chapter 4

4:1  Then Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice, for they will say, The LORD has not appeared unto thee.

4:2  And the LORD said unto him, What [is] that in thy hand? And he said, A rod.

4:3  And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses fled from before it.

4:4  And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thy hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand.

4:5  Therefore they will believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared unto thee.

4:6  And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Now put thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand [was] leprous as snow.

4:7  And he said, Put thy hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his [other] flesh.

4:8  And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

4:9  And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river and pour [it] upon the dry [land]; and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry [land].

4:10  Then Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I [am] not eloquent, neither up until now, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant; but I [am] slow of speech and of a slow tongue.

4:11  And the LORD said unto him, Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the dumb or the deaf or the seeing or the blind? Am not I the LORD?

4:12  Now therefore go and I will be with thy mouth and teach thee what thou shalt say.

4:13  And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand [of him whom] thou wilt send.

4:14  Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Do I not know thy brother Aaron, the Levite, and that he can speak well? And also, behold, he comes forth to meet thee, and when he sees thee, he will be glad in his heart.

4:15  And thou shalt speak unto him and put words in his mouth; and I will be with thy mouth and with his mouth and will teach you what ye shall do.

4:16  And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people; and he shall be unto thee as thy mouth, and thou shalt be unto him as God.

4:17  And thou shalt take this rod in thy hand with which thou shalt do the signs.

4:18  Thus Moses went and returned unto Jethro, his father-in-law, and said unto him, I shall go now and return unto my brethren who [are] in Egypt and see whether they are yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

4:19  And the LORD also said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt, for all the men are dead who sought thy life.

4:20  Then Moses took his wife and his sons and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt; and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.

4:21  And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand; but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.

4:22  And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, The LORD hath said thus: Israel [is] my son, [even] my firstborn.

4:23  And I have said unto thee, Let my son go that he may serve me, but thou hast refused to let him go; [therefore], behold, I [will] slay thy son, [even] thy firstborn.

4:24  And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him and sought to kill him.

4:25  Then Zipporah took a sharp flint and cut off the foreskin of her son and cast [it] at his feet, saying, Surely a bloody husband [art] thou to me.

4:26  So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband [thou art], because of the circumcision.

4:27  And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went and met him in the mount of God and kissed him.

4:28  Then Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him and all the signs which he had commanded him.

4:29  And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the sons of Israel:

4:30  And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses and did the signs before the eyes of the people.

4:31  And the people believed; and hearing that the LORD had visited the sons of Israel and that he had seen their affliction, they bowed and worshipped.:

Chapter 5

5:1  And afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go that they may celebrate a feast unto me in the wilderness.

5:2  And Pharaoh said, Who [is] the LORD, that I should hearken to his voice to let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.

5:3  And they said, The God of the Hebrews has found us; therefore we shall go three days' journey into the desert and sacrifice unto the LORD our God lest he encounter us with pestilence or with the sword.

5:4  Then the king of Egypt said unto them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, keep the people from their works? Go unto your burdens.

5:5  Pharaoh also said, Behold, the people of the land now [are] many, and ye make them cease from their burdens.

5:6  And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying,

5:7  Ye shall no longer give the people firewood to make brick as until now; let them go and gather firewood for themselves.

5:8  And the tally of the bricks which they made before, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish any of it; for they [are] idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go [and] sacrifice to our God.

5:9  Let more work be laid upon them that they may occupy themselves with it; and let them not regard words of deception.

5:10  And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you firewood.

5:11  Go ye, gather firewood where ye can find it; yet none of your work shall be diminished.

5:12  So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather brush for firewood.

5:13  And the taskmasters hasted [them], saying, Fulfil your works, [your] daily quotas, as when there was firewood.

5:14  And the officers of the sons of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, [and they] demanded, Why have ye not fulfilled your quotas in making brick both yesterday and today, as until now?

5:15  Then the officers of the sons of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Why doest thou deal thus with thy servants?

5:16  There is no firewood given unto thy servants, yet they say to us, Make brick. Behold, thy servants [are] beaten; and thy people sin.

5:17  And he replied, Ye [are] idle, [ye] are idle, therefore ye say, Let us go [and] sacrifice unto the LORD.

5:18  Go therefore now [and] work, for no firewood shall be given you, yet ye shall deliver the tally of bricks.

5:19  Then the officers of the sons of Israel saw [that] they [were] afflicted after it was said, Ye shall not diminish any from the bricks of your daily quota.

5:20  And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh;

5:21  and they said unto them, The LORD look upon you and judge because ye have made our savour to be a stench before Pharaoh and his servants, putting a sword in their hands to slay us.

5:22  Then Moses returned unto the LORD and said, Lord, why hast thou [so] afflicted this people? Why [is] it [that] thou hast sent me?

5:23  For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he has afflicted this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.:

Chapter 6

6:1  Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now thou shalt see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand he must let them go, and with a strong hand he shall drive them out of his land.

6:2  And God spoke unto Moses and said unto him, I [am] the LORD;

6:3  and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD (YHWH) I was not known to them.

6:4  And I also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers.

6:5  And likewise I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.

6:6  Therefore say unto the sons of Israel, I [am] the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will free you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm and with great judgments.

6:7  And I will take you as my people, and I will be your God: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

6:8  And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning which I raised my hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it [unto] you for a heritage: I [am] the LORD.

6:9  In this manner Moses spoke unto the sons of Israel, but they did not hearken unto Moses because of [their] anguish of spirit and cruel bondage.

6:10  And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

6:11  Go in, speak unto Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land.

6:12  And Moses answered before the LORD, saying, Behold, the sons of Israel do not hearken unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, seeing I [am] of uncircumcised lips?

6:13  Then the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron and gave them a commandment unto the sons of Israel and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

6:14  These [are] the heads of their fathers' families: The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Enoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these [are] the families of Reuben.

6:15  And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Saul the son of a Canaanite woman; these [are] the families of Simeon.

6:16  And these [are] the names of the sons of Levi according to their lineages: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. And the years of the life of Levi [were] one hundred thirty-seven years.

6:17  The sons of Gershon: Libni, and Shimi, according to their families.

6:18  And the sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. And the years of the life of Kohath [were] one hundred thirty-three years.

6:19  And the sons of Merari: Mahali and Mushi; these [are] the families of Levi according to their lineages.

6:20  And Amram took Jochebed, his father's sister to wife; and she bore him Aaron and Moses. And the years of the life of Amram [were] one hundred thirty-seven years.

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

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

6:23  And Aaron took Elizabeth, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bore him Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

6:24  And the sons of Korah: Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these [are] the families of the Korhites.

6:25  And Eleazar, Aaron's son, took [one] of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bore him Phinehas. These [are] the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families.

6:26  These [are] that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their hosts.

6:27  These [are] those who spoke to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt: these [are] that Moses and Aaron.

6:28  And it came to pass on the day [when] the LORD spoke unto Moses in the land of Egypt,

6:29  that the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, I [am] the LORD; speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.

6:30  And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I [am] of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?:

Chapter 7

7:1  The LORD said unto Moses, See, I have constituted thee as god unto Pharaoh; and Aaron, thy brother, shall be thy prophet.

7:2  Thou shalt speak all that I shall command thee; and Aaron, thy brother, shall speak unto Pharaoh that he send the sons of Israel out of his land.

7:3  And I will harden Pharaoh's heart and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.

7:4  And Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, but I shall lay my hand upon Egypt and bring forth my hosts, [and] my people, the sons of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.

7:5  And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from among them.

7:6  And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.

7:7  And Moses [was] eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke unto Pharaoh.

7:8  And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

7:9  If Pharaoh shall answer you, saying, Show a miracle, then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod and cast [it] before Pharaoh, that it shall become a dragon.

7:10  So Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did as the LORD had commanded; and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a dragon.

7:11  Then Pharaoh also called wise men and sorcerers; now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their fire [worship].

7:12  For each one cast down his rod, and they became dragons; but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

7:13  And Pharaoh's heart became hard, that he hearkened not unto them as the LORD had said.

7:14  Then the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart [is become] grievous, for he refuses to let the people go.

7:15  Go unto Pharaoh in the morning; behold, he goes out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink before him and take in thy hand the rod which was turned to a serpent

7:16  and say unto him, The LORD, the God of the Hebrews has sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness; and, behold, until now thou hast not desired to hear.

7:17  Thus hath the LORD said, In this thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD; behold, I will smite with the rod that [is] in my hand the waters which [are] in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.

7:18  And the fish that [are] in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink the water of the river.

7:19  And the LORD spoke unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their rivers, upon their streams, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood and [that] there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood and in [vessels of] stone.

7:20  And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and lifting up the rod, he smote the waters that [were] in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that [were] in the river were turned to blood.

7:21  And the fish that [were] in the river died; and the river became corrupted, so that the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.

7:22  And the magicians of Egypt did the same with their enchantments; and Pharaoh's heart hardened itself, and he did not hearken unto them, as the LORD had said.

7:23  And Pharaoh turned and returned to his house, and even with all this he did not take this to heart.

7:24  And in all Egypt they dug wells round about the river for water to drink, for they could not drink of the water of the river.

7:25  And seven days were fulfilled after the LORD had smitten the river.:

Chapter 8

8:1  Then the LORD spoke unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh and say unto him, The LORD hath said thus, Let my people go that they may serve me.

8:2  And if thou refuse to let [them] go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:

8:3  And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thy house and into thy bedchamber and upon thy bed and into the houses of thy servants and upon thy people and into thine ovens and into thy kneadingtroughs;

8:4  and the frogs shall come up upon thee and upon thy people and upon all thy servants.

8:5  And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the ponds and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.

8:6  And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

8:7  And the magicians did the same with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.

8:8  Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said unto them, Intreat the LORD that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people, and I will let the people go that they may sacrifice unto the LORD.

8:9  And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Tell me: when shall I intreat for thee and for thy servants and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, [that] they may remain only in the river?

8:10  And he said, Tomorrow. And [Moses] replied, [Be it] according to thy word, that thou may know that [there is] none like unto the LORD our God.

8:11  And the frogs shall depart from thee and from thy houses and from thy servants and from thy people; they shall remain only in the river.

8:12  Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.

8:13  And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs of the houses, of the villages, and of the fields died.

8:14  And they gathered them together in heaps; and the land was corrupted.

8:15  But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart and did not hearken unto them as the LORD had said.

8:16  Then the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

8:17  And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

8:18  And the magicians did the same with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. And there were lice upon man and upon beast.

8:19  Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This [is] the finger of God. But Pharaoh's heart hardened, and he did not hearken unto them as the LORD had said.

8:20  And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he goes forth to the water and say unto him, The LORD hath said thus, Let my people go that they may serve me.

8:21  For if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms [of flies] upon thee and upon thy servants and upon thy people and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of all kinds [of flies] and also the ground upon which they [are].

8:22  And I will separate in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no kind [of flies] shall be there to the end that thou may know that I [am] the LORD in the midst of the earth.

8:23  And I will put redemption between my people and thy people. Tomorrow shall this sign be.

8:24  And the LORD did so: that there came a grievous swarm [of flies] into the house of Pharaoh and [into] his servants' houses and into all the land of Egypt; and the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm [of flies].

8:25  Then Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land [of Egypt].

8:26  And Moses replied, It is not convenient to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God. Behold, if we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us?

8:27  We will go three days' journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as he has said unto us.

8:28  And Pharaoh said, I will let you go that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away; pray for me.

8:29  And Moses answered, Behold, as I go out from thy presence, I will intreat the LORD that the swarms [of flies] may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow; if Pharaoh will not deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.

8:30  Then Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed unto the LORD.

8:31  And the LORD did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms [of flies] from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.

8:32  And Pharaoh even hardened his heart this time and did not let the people go.:

Chapter 9

9:1  Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go that they may serve me.

9:2  For if thou refuse to let [them] go and wilt hold them still,

9:3  behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy livestock which [are] in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the cows, and upon the sheep: [there shall be] a very grievous pestilence.

9:4  And the LORD shall separate between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt so that nothing shall die of all [that is] of the sons of Israel.

9:5  And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.

9:6  And the next day the LORD did that thing, and [of] all the livestock of Egypt [many] died, but of the livestock of the sons of Israel not one died.

9:7  Then Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the livestock of the sons of Israel dead. But the heart of Pharaoh hardened, and he did not let the people go.

9:8  And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, [Let] each of you take handfuls of soot from the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.

9:9  And it shall become dust upon all the land of Egypt, which shall cause boils breaking forth [with] blisters upon man and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.

9:10  And they took the soot of the furnace and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and boils breaking forth [with] blisters came upon man and upon beast

9:11  [until] the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.

9:12  And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did hearken unto them as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.

9:13  Then the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go that they may serve me.

9:14  For [otherwise] this time I will send all my plagues upon thine heart and upon thy servants and upon thy people that thou may know that [there is] none like me in all the earth.

9:15  For now I will stretch out my hand that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence, and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.

9:16  For in truth I have placed thee to declare my power in thee, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

9:17  Thou even so dost exalt thyself against my people that thou wilt not let them go.

9:18  Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.

9:19  Send therefore now [and] gather thy livestock and all that thou hast in the field; [for upon] every man and beast which shall be found in the field and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.

9:20  He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his livestock flee into the houses;

9:21  and he that did not regard the word of the LORD left his servants and his livestock in the field.

9:22  And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon the men and upon the beasts and upon all the grass of the field throughout the land of Egypt.

9:23  And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven, and the LORD raised his voice and it hailed, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

9:24  So there was hail and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became inhabited.

9:25  And that hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that [was] in the field, both men and beasts; and the hail smote all the grass of the field and broke all the trees of the field.

9:26  Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel [were], was there no hail.

9:27  Then Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron and said unto them, I have sinned this time; the LORD [is] righteous, and I and my people [are] wicked.

9:28  Intreat the LORD that the thunderings of God and the hail [might] cease; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay here no longer.

9:29  And Moses replied unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will extend my hands unto the LORD; [and] the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou may know how that the earth [is] the LORD'S.

9:30  But I know thee and thy servants from before ye began to fear the presence of the LORD God.

9:31  The flax, therefore, and the barley were smitten, for the barley [was] headed out, and the flax [was] in stalk.

9:32  But the wheat and the rye were not smitten; for they [were] late.

9:33  And Moses went out from the presence of Pharaoh and [out] of the city and extended his hands unto the LORD; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.

9:34  And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he persevered in [his] sin and hardened his heart, he and his servants.

9:35  And the heart of Pharaoh hardened, and he did not let the sons of Israel go as the LORD had spoken by Moses.:

Chapter 10

10:1  And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants that I might show these my signs among them

10:2  and that thou may tell in the ears of thy sons and of thy son's sons the things I did in Egypt and my signs which I gave among them and that ye may know that I [am] the LORD.

10:3  Then Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh and said unto him, Thus hath the LORD God of the Hebrews said, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? Let my people go that they may serve me.

10:4  For if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring the locusts into thy borders,

10:5  and they shall cover the face of the earth that one will not be able to see the earth, and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remains unto you from the hail and shall eat every tree which produces [fruit] for you out of the field:

10:6  And they shall fill thy houses and the houses of all thy servants and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself and went out from Pharaoh.

10:7  Then Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? Let the men go that they may serve the LORD their God; knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?

10:8  And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh; and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God. Who [are] those that shall go?

10:9  And Moses replied, We must go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our sheep and with our cows we must go; for we have a solemn feast unto the LORD.

10:10  And he said unto them, Even if the LORD be with you, how can I let you go with your little ones; look at the malice which is before your face.

10:11  It [shall] not [be] so: go now ye [that are] men and serve the LORD; for that is what ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.

10:12  Then the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt to bring the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt and eat all the grass of the land [and] all that the hail has left.

10:13  And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all [that] night; [and] when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

10:14  And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and landed in all the borders of Egypt. Very grievous [were they]; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall [there] be such.

10:15  For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they ate all the grass of the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left; and there did not remain any green thing in the trees or in the grass of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

10:16  Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.

10:17  Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.

10:18  And he went out from Pharaoh and intreated the LORD.

10:19  And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.

10:20  But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the sons of Israel go.

10:21  And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness [which] may be felt.

10:22  And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.

10:23  They did not see one another, neither did any rise from his place for three days; but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.

10:24  Then Pharaoh called unto Moses and said, Go, serve the LORD; only let your sheep and your cows remain; let your little ones also go with you.

10:25  And Moses replied, Thou also must give us sacrifices and burnt offerings that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.

10:26  Our cattle shall also go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind; for we must take thereof to serve the LORD our God; and we do not know with what we must serve the LORD until we arrive there.

10:27  But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.

10:28  And Pharaoh said unto him, Go from me, take heed to thyself to see my face no more; for in [the] day that thou seest my face thou shalt die.

10:29  And Moses replied, Thou hast spoken well, I will not see thy face again.:

Chapter 11

11:1  And the LORD said unto Moses, I will bring one more plague upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt, after which he will let you go from here; when he shall let [you] go, he shall surely thrust you out of here altogether.

11:2  Speak now to the people and let each man demand of his neighbour and each woman of her neighbour, vessels of silver and of gold.

11:3  And the LORD gave the people grace in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses [was] very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.

11:4  And Moses said, The LORD hath said thus, About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt,

11:5  and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sits upon his throne even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that [is] behind the mill and all the firstborn of beasts.

11:6  And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has never been [one] like it, nor shall [there] ever be any like it again.

11:7  But among all the sons of Israel, from man to beast, not a dog shall move his tongue, that ye may know that the LORD shall make a difference between the Egyptians and the Israelites.

11:8  And all these thy servants shall come down unto me and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Go out, and all the people that follow thee; and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.

11:9  And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.

11:10  And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: but the LORD had hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the sons of Israel go out of his land.:

Chapter 12

12:1  And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

12:2  This month [shall be] unto you the beginning of the months; it [shall be] the first month of the year to you.

12:3  Speak unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth [day] of this month let each man take a lamb according to the families of the fathers, a lamb per family;

12:4  and if the household is too small and [is] not [able] to eat the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take [it] according to the number of persons; each one according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.

12:5  The lamb shall be without blemish, a male of one year; ye shall take [it] out from the sheep or from the goats;

12:6  and ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month, and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it between the two evenings.

12:7  And they shall take of the blood and put [it] on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses in which they shall eat it.

12:8  And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread; [and] with bitter [herbs] they shall eat it.

12:9  Eat none of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast [with] fire, his head with his legs, and with the entrails thereof.

12:10  And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remains of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

12:11  And thus shall ye eat it: [with] your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it [is] the LORD'S passover.

12:12  For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both [among] man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I [am] the LORD.

12:13  And this blood shall be to you for a sign upon the houses where ye [are]; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy [you], when I smite the land of Egypt.

12:14  And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it as a feast unto the LORD throughout your ages; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.

12:15  Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

12:16  And in the first day [there shall be] a holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, except [that] which every person must eat, that only may be done of you.

12:17  And ye shall observe [the feast of] unleavened bread, for in this same day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; therefore, shall ye observe this day for your ages by an ordinance forever.

12:18  In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, ye shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month in the evening.

12:19  For seven days there shall be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger or born in the land.

12:20  Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations ye shall eat unleavened bread.

12:21  Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said unto them, Draw out and take lambs according to your families and sacrifice the passover.

12:22  And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop and dip [it] in the blood that [is] in the basin and touch the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that [is] in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.

12:23  For the LORD will pass through smiting the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood upon the lintel and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over that door and will not allow the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite [you].

12:24  And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons forever.

12:25  And it shall come to pass, when ye have entered into the land which the LORD will give you, according as he has promised, that ye shall keep this service.

12:26  And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What do you mean by this service?

12:27  That ye shall say, It [is] the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses. Then the people bowed and worshipped.

12:28  And the sons of Israel went away, and as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

12:29  And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that [was] in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the animals.

12:30  And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for [there was] not a house where [there was] not one dead.

12:31  And he called for Moses and Aaron by night and said, Rise up, [and] get you forth from among my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, and go, serve the LORD as ye have said.

12:32  Also take your sheep and your cows, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.

12:33  And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people that they might send them out of the land in haste, for they said, We [are] all dead [men].

12:34  And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

12:35  And the sons of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked the Egyptians for vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing.

12:36  And the LORD gave the people grace in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they gave unto them [such things as they required]. And they spoiled the Egyptians.

12:37  And the sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, not [counting] the children.

12:38  And a mixed multitude went up also with them and many sheep and cows.

12:39  And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not tarry nor prepare food for themselves.

12:40  Now the time that the sons of Israel dwelt in Egypt [was] four hundred and thirty years.

12:41  And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even that same day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

12:42  It [is] a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this night [should] be observed unto the LORD by all the sons of Israel in their ages.

12:43  And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This [shall be] the ordinance of the passover: No stranger shall eat of it,

12:44  but every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.

12:45  The foreigner and the hired servant shall not eat of it.

12:46  It shall be eaten in one house; thou shalt not carry forth any of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

12:47  All the congregation of Israel shall make this [sacrifice].

12:48  And if a stranger shall sojourn with thee and desire to make the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and make this [sacrifice]; and he shall be as one that is natural in the land, but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.

12:49  The same law shall be for the one who is natural, and for the stranger that sojourns among you.

12:50  Thus did all the sons of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

12:51  And it came to pass that same day [that] the LORD did bring the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.:

Chapter 13

13:1  And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

13:2  Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the sons of Israel, [both] of man and of beast; for it [is] mine.

13:3  And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for the LORD has brought you out of here with a strong hand; therefore, ye shall not eat with leaven.

13:4  This day ye came out in the month Abib.

13:5  And when the LORD shall have brought thee into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, which he swore unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt do this service in this month.

13:6  Thou shalt eat without leaven for seven days, and the seventh day [shall be] a feast unto the LORD.

13:7  [Bread] without leaven shall be eaten the seven days; and nothing leavened shall be seen with thee, neither shall there be any leaven in all thy borders.

13:8  And thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying, [This is done] because of that [which] the LORD did unto me when he brought me out of Egypt.

13:9  And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thy hand and for a memorial before thine eyes, that the LORD'S law may be in thy mouth; for with a strong hand the LORD has brought thee out of Egypt.

13:10  Thou shalt, therefore, keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.

13:11  And it shall be when the LORD shall have brought thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall have given it to thee,

13:12  that thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that opens the womb [and] in the same manner every firstborn that opens the wombs of thy animals; the males [shall be] the LORD'S.

13:13  And every firstborn of an ass thou shalt ransom with a lamb; and if thou wilt not ransom it, then thou shalt cut off its head; and in the same manner thou shalt ransom all the human firstborn among thy sons.

13:14  And it shall be when thy son asks thee in time to come, saying, What [is] this? Thou shalt say unto him, With a strong hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

13:15  and it came to pass when Pharaoh was hardening himself to not let us go that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt from the human firstborn to the firstborn of the beast; therefore, I sacrifice to the LORD every male that opens the womb, and I ransom every firstborn of my sons.

13:16  And it shall be for a token upon thy hand, and for a memorial before thine eyes: That the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand.

13:17  And it came to pass when Pharaoh had let the people go that God did not lead them [through] the way of the land of the Philistines, although that [was] near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt;

13:18  but God led the people round about [through] the way of the wilderness of the Red sea. And the sons of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.

13:19  And Moses also took the bones of Joseph with him, who had made the sons of Israel swear, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away from here with you.

13:20  And they took their journey from Succoth and encamped in Etham in the edge of the wilderness.

13:21  And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them in the way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light that they might walk by day and by night.

13:22  He never took away the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night [from] before the people.:

Chapter 14

14:1  And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

14:2  Speak unto the sons of Israel that they turn and set up their camp before Pihahiroth between Migdol and the sea over against Baalzephon; before it shall ye set up camp by the sea.

14:3  For Pharaoh will say of the sons of Israel, They [are] entangled in the land; the wilderness has shut them in.

14:4  And I will harden Pharaoh's heart that he shall follow after them; and I will be glorified in Pharaoh and in all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD. And they did so.

14:5  And it was told the king of Egypt how the people fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?

14:6  And he made ready his chariot and took his people with him;

14:7  and he took six hundred chosen chariots and all the chariots of Egypt and the captains over them.

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 had already left with great power.

14:9  The Egyptians, nevertheless, pursued after them with all the horses [and] chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and all his army, and overtook them setting up camp by the sea beside Pihahiroth before Baalzephon.

14:10  And when Pharaoh drew near, the sons of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they feared greatly, and the sons of Israel cried out unto the LORD.

14:11  And they said unto Moses, Because [there were] no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why hast thou dealt thus with us, to bring us forth out of Egypt?

14:12  [Is] this not what we told thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? For [it would have been] better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.

14:13  And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still and see the saving health of the LORD, which he will bestow on you today; for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall never see them again for ever.

14:14  The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall be still.

14:15  Then the LORD said unto Moses, Why criest thou unto me? Speak unto the sons of Israel that they go forward:

14:16  And lift up thy rod and stretch out thy hand over the sea and divide it; and the sons of Israel shall go on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea.

14:17  And behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians that they shall follow them: and I will be glorified in Pharaoh and in all his host, in his chariots, and in his horsemen.

14:18  And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have glorified myself in Pharaoh, in his chariots, and in his horsemen.

14:19  And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and likewise the pillar of cloud went from before their face and stood behind them.

14:20  And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness [to them], but it lit up the night [unto Israel]; and all that night the one [side] never came near the other.

14:21  And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go [back] by a strong east wind all that night and made the sea dry [land], and the waters were divided.

14:22  Then the sons of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry [ground]; and the waters [were] a wall unto them on their right hand and on their left.

14:23  And the Egyptians pursued and went in after them to the midst of the sea, [even] all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

14:24  And it came to pass that in the morning watch the LORD looked at the camp of the Egyptians in the pillar of fire and of cloud and troubled the camp of the Egyptians

14:25  and took off their chariot wheels and overturned them grievously, so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians.

14:26  And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.

14:27  And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned in its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

14:28  And the waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen [and] all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.

14:29  But the sons of Israel walked upon dry [land] in the midst of the sea; and the waters [were] a wall unto them on their right hand and on their left.

14:30  Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.

14:31  And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did against the Egyptians; and the people feared the LORD and believed the LORD and his servant Moses.:

Chapter 15

15:1  Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song unto the LORD and spoke, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

15:2  The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my saving health; he [is] my God, and I will prepare him a habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

15:3  The LORD [is] a man of war; the LORD [is] his name.

15:4  Pharaoh's chariots and his host he has cast into the sea; his chosen princes also are drowned in the Red sea.

15:5  The depths have covered them; they sank into the bottom as a stone.

15:6  Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power; thy right hand, O LORD, has dashed the enemy in pieces.

15:7  And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown those that rose up against thee; thou didst send forth thy wrath, [which] consumed them as stubble.

15:8  And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as a heap, [and] the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

15:9  The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my soul shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

15:10  Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them. They sank as lead in the mighty waters.

15:11  Who [is] like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who [is] like thee, magnificent in holiness, fearful [in] praises, doing wonders?

15:12  Thou didst stretch out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

15:13  Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people [which] thou hast redeemed; thou hast guided [them] in thy strength unto the habitation of thy holiness.

15:14  The peoples shall hear [and] be afraid; sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.

15:15  Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling, shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.

15:16  Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be [as] still as a stone, until thy people pass over, O LORD, until the people pass over, [which] thou hast purchased.

15:17  Thou shalt bring them in and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, [in] the place of thy dwelling which thou hast made ready, O LORD, [in] the Sanctuary of the Lord, [which] thy hands have established.

15:18  The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.

15:19  For Pharaoh went in on horseback with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the sons of Israel went on dry [land] in the midst of the sea.

15:20  And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

15:21  And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

15:22  So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.

15:23  And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they [were] bitter; therefore the name of it was called Marah.

15:24  Then the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

15:25  And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, which when he had cast [it] into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There he gave them statutes and rights, and there he proved them

15:26  and said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God and wilt do that which is right in his sight and wilt give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I [am] the LORD thy Healer.

15:27  And they came to Elim, where [there were] twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there by the waters.:

Chapter 16

16:1  And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which [is] between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

16:2  And the whole congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness;

16:3  and the sons of Israel said unto them, It would have been better if we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots [and] when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

16:4  Then the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather the word for every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

16:5  And it shall come to pass that on the sixth day they shall prepare [that] which they bring in, which shall be twice as much as they gather daily.

16:6  Then Moses and Aaron said unto all the sons of Israel, At evening ye shall know that the LORD has brought you out from the land of Egypt;

16:7  And in the morning ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for he has heard your murmurings against the LORD; and what [are] we, that ye murmur against us?

16:8  And Moses said, [This shall be] when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat and in the morning bread to the full; for the LORD has heard your murmurings which ye have murmured against him; and what [are] we? Your murmurings [are] not against us, but against the LORD.

16:9  And Moses spoke unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the sons of Israel, Come near before the LORD, for he has heard your murmurings.

16:10  And it came to pass as Aaron spoke unto the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.

16:11  And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

16:12  I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel; speak unto them, saying, Between the two evenings ye shall eat flesh, and tomorrow ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD your God.

16:13  And it came to pass, that in the evening quail came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew descended round about the host.

16:14  And when the dew ceased to descend, behold, upon the face of the wilderness [there lay] a small round thing [as] small as the hoar frost on the ground.

16:15  And when the sons of Israel saw [it], they said one to another, It [is] manna ([What is it?]): for they did not know what it [was]. Then Moses said unto them, This [is] the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.

16:16  This [is] the thing which the LORD has commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for each one, [according to] the number of your persons; take ye each one for [those] who [are] in his tent.

16:17  And the sons of Israel did so and gathered, some more, some less.

16:18  And when they did measure [it] with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered each one according to his eating.

16:19  And Moses said, Let no one leave of it until the morning.

16:20  Notwithstanding they did not hearken unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms and stank; and Moses was angry with them.

16:21  And they gathered it early in the morning, each one according to his eating; and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

16:22  And it came to pass [that] on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one; and all the princes of the congregation came and told Moses.

16:23  And he said unto them, This [is] what the LORD has said, Tomorrow [is] the holy sabbath of rest unto the LORD; bake [that] which ye will bake [today] and cook what ye will cook; and that which remains over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

16:24  And they laid it up until the morning as Moses bade; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.

16:25  And Moses said, Eat that today; for today [is] a sabbath unto the LORD; today ye shall not find it in the field.

16:26  Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, [which is] the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

16:27  And it came to pass that [some] of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, and they found none.

16:28  And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

16:29  See that the LORD has given you the sabbath; therefore, he gives you the bread of two days on the sixth day; abide ye every man in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

16:30  So the people rested on the seventh day.

16:31  And the house of Israel called its name Manna; and it [was] like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it [was] like wafers [made] with honey.

16:32  And Moses said, This [is] what the LORD has commanded, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your descendants, that they may see the bread with which I have fed you in the wilderness when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.

16:33  And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot and put an omer full of manna in it and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your descendants.

16:34  As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

16:35  Thus the sons of Israel ate manna forty years until they came to a land inhabited; they ate manna until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

16:36  Now an omer [is] the tenth [part] of an ephah.:

Chapter 17

17:1  And all the congregation of the sons of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and set up camp in Rephidim; and [there was] no water for the people to drink.

17:2  And the people chided with Moses and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? Why do ye tempt the LORD?

17:3  So the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses and said, Why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?

17:4  Then Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.

17:5  And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people and take with thee of the elders of Israel and thy rod, with which thou didst smite the river take in thine hand and go.

17:6  Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb, and thou shalt smite the rock, and water shall come out of it that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

17:7  And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah because of the chiding of the sons of Israel and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?

17:8  Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

17:9  And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men and go out, fight with Amalek; tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.

17:10  So Joshua did as Moses had said to him and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

17:11  And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; but when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

17:12  And Moses' hands [were] heavy, so they took a stone and put [it] under him, and he sat upon it; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side and the other on the other side; thus his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

17:13  And Joshua disabled Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

17:14  And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this [for] a memorial in the book and tell Joshua that I must utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.

17:15  And Moses built an altar and called the name of it The LORD is my Banner,

17:16  for he said, Because [Amalek lifted] his hand against the throne of the LORD, the LORD [will have] war with Amalek from generation to generation.:

Chapter 18

18:1  When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done with Moses and with Israel his people [and] how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt,

18:2  then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,

18:3  and her two sons, of which the name of the one [was] Gershon, for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land,

18:4  and the name of the other [was] Eliezer, for the God of my father, [said he], helped me and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh;

18:5  and Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he was camped next to the mount of God;

18:6  and he said unto Moses, I, thy father-in-law Jethro, am come unto thee and thy wife and her two sons with her.

18:7  And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and did obeisance and kissed him; and they asked each other of [their] peace; and they came into the tent.

18:8  And Moses told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake [and] all the travail that had come upon them in the way and [how] the LORD delivered them.

18:9  And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.

18:10  And Jethro said, Blessed [be] the LORD, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

18:11  Now I know that the LORD [is] greater than all gods; for in the thing in which they dealt proudly [he prevailed] against them.

18:12  And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took burnt offerings and sacrifices for God; and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God.

18:13  And it came to pass another day that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood before Moses from the morning unto the evening.

18:14  And when Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What [is] this that thou doest to the people? Why sittest thou thyself alone and all the people stand before thee from morning unto evening?

18:15  And Moses said unto his father-in-law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God.

18:16  When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I declare unto [them] the statutes of God and his laws.

18:17  Then Moses' father-in-law said unto him, The thing that thou doest [is] not good.

18:18  Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou and this people that [is] with thee; for this thing [is] too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.

18:19  Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people before God that thou may submit the causes unto God.

18:20  And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws and shalt show them the way in which they must walk and the work that they must do.

18:21  Moreover thou shalt consider out of all the people men of virtue, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness, and place princes over them, of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.

18:22  And let them judge the people at all seasons; and it shall be [that] every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge, so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear [the burden] with thee.

18:23  If thou shalt do this thing and God command thee [so], then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.

18:24  So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said.

18:25  And Moses chose men of virtue out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, princes over thousands, over hundreds, over fifties, and over tens.

18:26  And they judged the people at all seasons; the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

18:27  And Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went to his own land.:

Chapter 19

19:1  In the third month from when the sons of Israel had gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day they came [into] the wilderness of Sinai.

19:2  For they had departed from Rephidim and were come [to] the desert of Sinai and had pitched in the wilderness, and there Israel camped before the mount.

19:3  And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob and tell the sons of Israel:

19:4  Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians and [how] I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you unto myself.

19:5  Now therefore, if ye will give ear to hearken unto my voice and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a special treasure unto me above all peoples; for all the earth [is] mine.

19:6  And ye shall be my kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel.

19:7  Then Moses came and called for the elders of the people and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.

19:8  And all the people answered together and said, All that the LORD has spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.

19:9  And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, I come unto thee in a thick cloud that the people may hear when I speak with thee and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.

19:10  And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes

19:11  and be ready for the third day; for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

19:12  And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves [that ye go not] up into the mount or touch the border of it; whoever touches the mount shall surely die:

19:13  Not a hand shall touch it, but that he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether [it be] beast or man, it shall not live. When the jubilee sounds long, they shall come up to the mount.

19:14  And Moses went down from the mount unto the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes.

19:15  And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day; come not at [your] women.

19:16  And it came to pass on the third day when the morning came, that there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud upon the mount and the voice of the shofar exceeding loud, so that all the people that were in the camp trembled.

19:17  And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the lower part of the mount.

19:18  And all Mount Sinai smoked because the LORD had descended upon it in fire, and its smoke ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

19:19  And the voice of the shofar sounded long and waxed louder and louder; Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

19:20  And the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mount, and the LORD called Moses [up] to the top of the mount, and Moses went up.

19:21  And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people lest they break through [the bounds] to gaze upon the LORD, and many of them perish.

19:22  And also let the priests who come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves lest the LORD break forth upon them.

19:23  And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai; for thou hast charged us, saying, Set bounds about the mount and sanctify it.

19:24  And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou and Aaron with thee, but let not the priests and the people break through [the bounds] to come up unto the LORD lest he break forth upon them.

19:25  So Moses went down unto the people and spoke unto them.:

Chapter 20

20:1  And God spoke all these words, saying,

20:2  I [am] the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt out of the house of bondage.

20:3  Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

20:4  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above or that [is] in the earth beneath nor that [is] in the water under the earth.

20:5  Thou shalt not bow down to them nor serve them; for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons unto the third and fourth generation of those that hate me

20:6  and showing mercy unto thousands [of generations] of those that love me and keep my commandments.

20:7  Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain for the LORD will not hold guiltless anyone that takes his name in vain.

20:8  Thou shalt remember the sabbath day, to sanctify it.

20:9  Six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work;

20:10  but the seventh day [shall be] the sabbath of the LORD thy God; [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy beast, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates;

20:11  for [in] six days the LORD made the heavens and earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them and rested the seventh day; therefore, the LORD blessed the sabbath day and sanctified it.

20:12  Honour thy father and thy mother that thy days may be lengthened upon the land which the LORD thy God gives thee.

20:13  Thou shalt not murder.

20:14  Thou shalt not commit adultery.

20:15  Thou shalt not steal.

20:16  Thou shalt not give false testimony against thy neighbour.

20:17  Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that [is] thy neighbour's.

20:18  And all the people saw the thunderings and the lightnings and the noise of the trumpet and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw [it], they trembled and stood afar off.

20:19  And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us lest we die.

20:20  Then Moses said unto the people, Fear not, for God is come to prove you and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.

20:21  Then the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God [was].

20:22  And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the sons of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

20:23  Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

20:24  An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings and thy peace offerings, thy sheep and thine oxen; in whatever place where I cause my name to be remembered, I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

20:25  And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

20:26  Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto my altar that thy nakedness not be discovered thereon.:

Chapter 21

21:1  Now these [are] the rights which thou shalt set before them.

21:2  If thou should buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

21:3  If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he was married, then his wife shall go out with him.

21:4  If his master has given him a wife, and she has born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

21:5  And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free.

21:6  Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him forever.

21:7  And if a man should sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.

21:8  If she pleases not her master, who therefore took her not unto himself to wife, then it is permitted that she be ransomed; and he may not sell her unto a strange nation when he rejects her.

21:9  And if he has betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.

21:10  If he takes another [wife], her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, he shall not diminish.

21:11  And if he does not do these three [things] unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

21:12  He that smites a man so that he dies shall be surely put to death.

21:13  And if a man did not lie in wait but God delivered [him] into his hand, then I will appoint thee a place where he shall flee.

21:14  But if a man comes presumptuously upon his neighbour to slay him with prudence, thou shalt take him from my altar that he may die.

21:15  And he that smites his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.

21:16  Likewise he that steals a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

21:17  In the same manner he that curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

21:18  And if men strive together and one smites another with a stone or with [his] fist and he dies not, but keeps [his] bed,

21:19  if he rises again and walks abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote [him] be absolved, only he shall pay [for] the loss of his time and shall cause [him] to be thoroughly healed.

21:20  And if a man smites his servant or his maid with a rod and he dies under his hand, he shall be surely punished.

21:21  Notwithstanding, if he continues a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he [is] his money.

21:22  If men strive and hurt a woman with child so that she aborts but without death, he shall be surely punished according as the woman's husband will lay upon him, and he shall pay by the judges.

21:23  And if there is death, then thou shalt pay 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 someone smites the eye of their servant or the eye of their maid that it perishes, he shall let them go free for their eye's sake.

21:27  And if he smites out his manservant's tooth or his maidservant's tooth, he shall let them go free for their tooth's sake.

21:28  If an ox gores a man or a woman that they die, then the ox shall surely be stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox [shall be] absolved.

21:29  But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past and it has been testified to his owner, and he has not kept him in, but that he has killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.

21:30  If there is laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatever is laid upon him.

21:31  Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.

21:32  If the ox shall gore a manservant or a maidservant, he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

21:33  And if someone shall open a pit or if someone shall dig a pit and not cover it and an ox or an ass falls in it,

21:34  the owner of the pit shall make [it] good [and] give money unto their owner, and the dead [beast] shall be his.

21:35  And if one man's ox hurts another's that he dies; then they shall sell the live ox and divide the money of it, and the dead [ox] they shall also divide.

21:36  Or if it is known that the ox used to push in time past and his owner has not kept him in, he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead shall be his own.:

Chapter 22

22:1  If a man shall steal an ox or a sheep and kill it or sell it he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.

22:2  If a thief is found breaking into a house and is smitten so he dies, [he that killed him] shall not be guilty of his blood.

22:3  If the sun is risen upon him, [he that killed him] is guilty of his blood; [the thief] should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

22:4  If he is found with the theft in his hand, whether it be ox or ass or sheep, he shall restore double.

22:5  If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten and shall put in his beast and shall feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field and of the best of his own vineyard shall he make restitution.

22:6  When fires are lit and in burning the thorns burn also the stacks of sheaves or the standing grain, or the field is consumed; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

22:7  When a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, let him pay double.

22:8  If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges [to see] whether he has put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.

22:9  For all manner of fraud, [whether it be] for [an] ox, for [an] ass, for [a] sheep, for raiment, [or] for any manner of lost thing, which [another] challenges to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; [and] whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.

22:10  If a man delivers unto his neighbour an ass or an ox or a sheep or any beast to keep, and it dies or is hurt or driven away, no man seeing [it],

22:11  [then] shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he has not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods, and the owner of it shall accept [thereof], and he shall not make [it] good.

22:12  And if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto its owner.

22:13  If it is torn in pieces, [then] let him bring witness, [and] he shall not make good that which was torn.

22:14  And if anyone borrows [anything] of his neighbour, and it is hurt or dies, its owner not [being] with it, he shall surely make [it] good.

22:15  [But] if its owner [is] with it, he shall not make [it] good; if it [was] hired, it came for its hire.

22:16  If a man should entice a virgin that is not betrothed and lie with her, he shall surely endow her and [take her] to be his wife.

22:17  If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

22:18  Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

22:19  Whoever lies with a beast shall surely be put to death.

22:20  He that sacrifices unto [any] god, except unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

22:21  Thou shalt neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

22:22  Ye shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.

22:23  If thou afflict them in any manner, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

22:24  and my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

22:25  If thou should lend money to my people, to the poor [who is] with thee, thou shalt not be to him as a usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.

22:26  If thou at all take thy neighbour's clothing as a pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him before the sun goes down;

22:27  for only that [is] his covering, it [is] his clothing to [cover] his flesh, in which he must sleep; and it shall come to pass, when he cries unto me, that I will hear, for I [am] merciful.

22:28  Thou shalt not revile the judges nor curse the prince of thy people.

22:29  Thou shalt not delay [to offer] the first of thy ripe fruits and of thy liquors; the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

22:30  Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen [and] with thy sheep; seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it [to] me.

22:31  And ye shall be holy men unto me; neither shall ye eat [any] flesh [that is] torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.:

Chapter 23

23:1  Thou shalt not admit a false rumour; put not thine hand with the wicked to be a false witness.

23:2  Thou shalt not follow a multitude to [do] evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause hiding behind many to wrest [judgment];

23:3  neither shalt thou honour a poor man in his cause.

23:4  If thou should encounter thine enemy's ox or his ass astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.

23:5  If thou see the ass of him that hates thee lying under his burden, will thou forbear to help him? Thou shalt surely help him to raise it up.

23:6  Thou shalt not pervert the rights of thy poor in his cause.

23:7  Keep thee far from a false matter; and slay thou not the innocent and righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.

23:8  And thou shalt take no bribe; for the bribe blinds the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

23:9  Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger, for ye know the [state of the] soul of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

23:10  And six years thou shalt sow thy land and shalt gather in its increase,

23:11  but the seventh [year] thou shalt leave it [free] and release it, that the poor of thy people may eat, and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard [and] with thy oliveyard.

23:12  Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest, that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed.

23:13  And in all [things] that I have said unto you, be circumspect and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

23:14  Three times thou shalt celebrate a feast unto me in the year:

23:15  Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib, for in it thou didst come out from Egypt; and none shall appear before me empty),

23:16  And the feast of the harvest of the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field, and the feast of ingathering, [which is] in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

23:17  Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.

23:18  Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my lamb remain until the morning.

23:19  The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in his mother's milk.

23:20  Behold, I send the Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

23:21  Keep thyself before him and hear his voice, grieve him not; for he will not pardon your rebellion, for my name [is] in him.

23:22  But if thou shalt indeed hear his voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies and an adversary unto those that afflict thee.

23:23  For my Angel shall go before thee and bring thee in unto [the land of] the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Canaanite the Hivite and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.

23:24  Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works; but thou shalt utterly overthrow them and completely break down their images.

23:25  But ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread and thy water; and I will take [all] sickness away from the midst of thee.

23:26  No women shall abort, nor be barren, in thy land; the number of thy days I will fulfil.

23:27  I will send my fear before thee and will trouble all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.

23:28  And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before thee.

23:29  I will not drive them out from before thee in one year lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field multiply against thee.

23:30  Little by little I will drive them out from before thee until thou be multiplied and take the land by inheritance.

23:31  And I will set thy borders from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines and from the desert unto the river; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and [thou] shalt drive them out before thee.

23:32  Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

23:33  They shall not dwell in thy land lest peradventure they make thee sin against me [by] serving their gods, for it will be a snare unto thee.:

Chapter 24

24:1  And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship afar off.

24:2  And Moses alone shall approach the LORD, but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him.

24:3  And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD and all the rights, and all the people answered with one voice and said, All the words which the LORD has said we will do.

24:4  And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD and rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mount and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

24:5  And he sent the young men of the sons of Israel, who had offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of bullocks unto the LORD.

24:6  And Moses took half of the blood and put [it] in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

24:7  And he took the book of the covenant and read in the audience of the people, and they said, All that the LORD has said we will do, and we will hear.

24:8  Then Moses took the blood and sprinkled [it] on the people and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has made with you concerning all these words.

24:9  Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu and seventy of the elders of Israel went up,

24:10  and they saw the God of Israel; and [there was] under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone like unto the heaven when it is clear.

24:11  But he did not lay his hand upon the princes of the sons of Israel, and they saw God and ate and drank.

24:12  Then the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount and wait there, and I will give thee tables of stone and the law and commandments which I have written to teach them.

24:13  And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua, and Moses went up into the mount of God.

24:14  And he said unto the elders, wait here for us until we come again unto you; and, behold, Aaron and Hur [are] with you; if anyone has any matters to settle, let him come unto them.

24:15  Then Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.

24:16  And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days, and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

24:17  And the sight of the glory of the LORD [was] like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the sons of Israel.

24:18  And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and went up into the mount, and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.:

Chapter 25

25:1  And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

25:2  Speak unto the sons of Israel that they bring me an offering; of every man that gives it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.

25:3  And this [shall be] the offering which ye shall take of them: gold and silver and brass

25:4  and blue and purple and scarlet and fine linen and goats' [hair]

25:5  and rams' skins dyed red and badgers' skins and cedar wood,

25:6  oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,

25:7  onyx stones and stones to be set in the ephod and in the pectoral.

25:8  And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

25:9  According to all that I show thee, [after] the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its vessels, even so shall ye make [it].

25:10  And they shall make an ark [of] cedar wood; two cubits and a half [shall be] its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.

25:11  And thou shalt cover it with pure gold; within and without shalt thou cover it and shalt make upon it a moulding of gold round about.

25:12  And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it and put [them] in the four corners thereof, and two rings [shall be] in the one side of it and two rings in the other side of it.

25:13  And thou shalt make staves [of] cedar wood and overlay them with gold.

25:14  And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.

25:15  The staves shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it.

25:16  And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.

25:17  And thou shalt make a seat of reconciliation [of] pure gold; two cubits and a half [shall be] its length and a cubit and a half its breadth.

25:18  And thou shalt make two cherubim [of] gold; [of] beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the seat of reconciliation.

25:19  And make one cherub on the one end and the other cherub on the other end: [even] of the seat of reconciliation shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof.

25:20  And the cherubim shall stretch forth [their] wings on high, covering the seat of reconciliation with their wings, and their faces [shall look] one to another; toward the seat of reconciliation shall the faces of the cherubim be.

25:21  And thou shalt put the seat of reconciliation above upon the ark, and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.

25:22  And there I will meet with thee, and I will speak with thee from above the seat of reconciliation, from between the two cherubim which [are] upon the ark of the testimony, of all [things] which I will give thee in commandment unto the sons of Israel.

25:23  Thou shalt likewise make a table [of] cedar wood; two cubits [shall be] its length and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.

25:24  And thou shalt cover it with pure gold and make a moulding of gold round about it.

25:25  And thou shalt make unto it a border of a handbreadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden moulding to its border round about.

25:26  And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold and put the rings in the four corners that [are] on the four feet thereof.

25:27  Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.

25:28  And thou shalt make the staves [of] cedar wood and cover them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.

25:29  And thou shalt make the dishes thereof and spoons thereof and covers thereof and bowls thereof to [cover the bread]; of pure gold shalt thou make them.

25:30  And thou shalt set the showbread upon the table before me always.

25:31  And thou shalt make a candlestick [of] pure gold; [of] beaten work shall the candlestick be made; its base and its branches its bowls its knops and its flowers shall be of the same.

25:32  And six branches shall come out of the sides of it, three branches of the candlestick out of the one side and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side,

25:33  three bowls made like unto almonds [with] a knop and a flower in one branch, and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch [with] a knop and a flower; thus in the six branches that come out of the candlestick.

25:34  And in the candlestick [shall be] four bowls made like unto almonds [with] their knops and their flowers.

25:35  And [there shall be] a knop under two branches of the same, and another knop under two branches of the same, and another knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick.

25:36  Their knops and their branches shall be of the same; all [of] it [shall be] one beaten work [of] pure gold.

25:37  And thou shalt make its seven lamps; and they shall light its lamps, that they may give light over against it.

25:38  And its tongs, and its snuffdishes, [shall be of] pure gold.

25:39  [Of] a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.

25:40  And look that thou make [them] after their pattern, which was showed thee in the mount.:

Chapter 26

26:1  Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle [with] ten curtains [of] fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet; [with] cherubim of cunning work shalt thou make them.

26:2  The length of one curtain [shall be] twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits; and all the curtains shall have one measure.

26:3  The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another, and the [other] five curtains [shall be] coupled one to another.

26:4  And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the border in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of [another] curtain in the coupling of the second.

26:5  Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make in the border of the curtain that [is] in the second coupling; that the loops may take hold one of another.

26:6  And thou shalt make fifty hooks of gold and couple the curtains together with the hooks; and it shall be one tabernacle.

26:7  Likewise thou shalt make curtains of goats' [hair] to be a covering over the tabernacle; eleven curtains shalt thou make.

26:8  The length of one curtain [shall be] thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits; and the eleven curtains [shall be all] of one measure.

26:9  And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle.

26:10  And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain from the border in the coupling and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which couples the second.

26:11  And thou shalt make fifty hooks of brass and put the hooks into the loops and couple the tent together that it may be one.

26:12  And the remnant that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle.

26:13  And a cubit on the one side and a cubit on the other side of that which remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

26:14  And thou shalt make a covering for the tent [of] rams' skins dyed red and a covering above [of] badgers' skins.

26:15  And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle [of] cedar wood standing up.

26:16  Ten cubits [shall be] the length of a board, and a cubit and a half [shall be] the breadth of one board.

26:17  Two tenons [shall there be] in one board, set in order one against another; thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

26:18  And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the side of the Negev to the south.

26:19  And thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards, two sockets under one board for its two tenons and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

26:20  And for the second side of the tabernacle on the side of the Aquilon, [there shall be] twenty boards

26:21  and their forty sockets [of] silver: two sockets under one board and two sockets under another board.

26:22  And for the sides of the tabernacle westward, thou shalt make six boards.

26:23  And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides,

26:24  and they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of it unto one ring; thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

26:25  Thus they shall be eight boards, and their sockets [of] silver, sixteen sockets: two sockets under one board and two sockets under another board.

26:26  And thou shalt make five bars [of] cedar wood for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

26:27  five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the two sides westward.

26:28  And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to end.

26:29  And thou shalt cover the boards with gold and make their rings [of] gold [for] places for the bars, and thou shalt also cover the bars with gold.

26:30  And thou shalt raise up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was showed thee in the mount.

26:31  And thou shalt also make a veil [of] blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work; with cherubim shall it be made;

26:32  and thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of cedar covered with gold; their capitals [shall be of] gold upon four sockets of silver.

26:33  And thou shalt hang up the veil under the hooks, and thou shalt bring in there, inside the veil, the ark of the testimony; and that veil shall separate for you between the holy [place] and the holy of holies.

26:34  And thou shalt put the seat of reconciliation upon the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies.

26:35  And thou shalt set the table outside the veil, the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the Negev ([south desert]), and thou shalt put the table on the side of the Aquilon ([north wind]).

26:36  And thou shalt make a hanging for the door of the tabernacle [of] blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen wrought with needlework.

26:37  And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars of cedar and cover them with gold, [and] their capitals [shall be of] gold, and thou shalt cast five sockets of brass for them.:

Chapter 27

27:1  Thou shalt also make an altar [of] cedar wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare, and its height [shall be] three cubits.

27:2  And thou shalt make the horns of it upon its four corners; its horns shall be of the same, and thou shalt cover it with brass.

27:3  And thou shalt make its pans to receive [the ashes with] its [burnt] fat, and its shovels and its basins and its fleshhooks and its firepans; all the vessels thereof thou shalt make [of] brass.

27:4  And thou shalt make for it a grate of network [of] brass; and upon the net shalt thou make four brasen rings in the four corners thereof.

27:5  And thou shalt put it under the circumference of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of the altar.

27:6  Thou shalt also make staves for the altar, staves [of] cedar wood, and cover them with brass.

27:7  And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar to bear it.

27:8  Hollow with boards shalt thou make it; as it was showed thee in the mount, so shall they make [it].

27:9  In the same manner thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle; to the side of the Negev to the south [there shall be] hangings for the court [of] fine twined linen of one hundred cubits long for each side;

27:10  and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [shall be of] brass; the capitals of the pillars and their fillets [shall be of] silver.

27:11  And likewise for the side of the Aquilon in length [there shall be] hangings of one hundred [cubits] long, and its twenty pillars with their twenty sockets [of] brass, the capitals of the pillars and their fillets [of] silver.

27:12  And [for] the breadth of the court on the west side [shall be] hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.

27:13  And the breadth of the court on the side of the rising [sun] to the east [shall be] fifty cubits.

27:14  The hangings of one side [of the gate shall be] fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three.

27:15  And on the other side [shall be] hangings [of] fifteen [cubits], their pillars three, and their sockets three.

27:16  And at the gate of the court [there shall be] a hanging of twenty cubits [of] blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework; [and] their pillars [shall be] four and their sockets four.

27:17  All the pillars round about the court [shall be] filleted with silver; their capitals [shall be of] silver, and their sockets [of] brass.

27:18  The length of the court [shall be] one hundred cubits and the breadth fifty on the one side and fifty on the other and the height five cubits, [its hangings of] fine twined linen and their sockets [of] brass.

27:19  All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service thereof and all the stakes thereof and all the stakes of the court, [shall be of] brass.

27:20  And thou shalt command the sons of Israel that they bring thee olive oil, clear, crushed, for the light, to cause the lamps to burn always.

27:21  In the tabernacle of the testimony outside the veil, which [shall be] before [the ark of] the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order them from evening to morning before the LORD; [it shall be] a perpetual statute of the sons of Israel for their generations.:

Chapter 28

28:1  And cause Aaron, thy brother, to come unto thee with his sons, from among the sons of Israel, that they may be my priests, [even] Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

28:2  And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron, thy brother, for honour and for beauty.

28:3  And thou shalt speak unto all [that are] wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the Spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to sanctify him, that he may be my priest.

28:4  And these [are] the garments which they shall make: the pectoral, the ephod, the robe, the broidered coat, the mitre, and the girdle. Therefore let them make the holy garments for Aaron, thy brother, and his sons, that they may be my priests.

28:5  And they shall take gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine linen,

28:6  and they shall make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.

28:7  It shall have its two shoulderpieces joined at the two edges thereof, and [so]it shall be joined together.

28:8  And the special girdle of the ephod, which [shall be] over it, shall be of its same workmanship, of the same [materials]: of gold, blue, purple, scarlet and fine twined linen.

28:9  And thou shalt take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:

28:10  Six of their names on one stone and [the other] six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.

28:11  With the work of an engraver in stone, [like] the engravings of a seal, shalt thou engrave those two stones with the names of the sons of Israel; thou shalt make them to be set in settings of gold.

28:12  And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod [for] stones of memorial unto the sons of Israel, and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

28:13  And thou shalt make the settings [of] gold

28:14  and two small chains [of] pure gold; [of] wreathen work shalt thou make them and fasten the wreathen chains to the settings.

28:15  And in the same manner thou shalt make the pectoral of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it, [of] gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and [of] fine twined linen.

28:16  It shall be square and double; a span [shall be] the length thereof, and a span [shall be] the breadth thereof.

28:17  And thou shalt fill it with four rows of stones; The order [shall be] a ruby, an emerald, and a chrysolite; [this shall be] the first order.

28:18  And the second order [shall be] a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond.

28:19  And the third order, a topaz, a turquoise, and an amethyst.

28:20  And the fourth row a tarshish (or [beryl]) and an onyx and a jasper; they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.

28:21  And those stones shall be in agreement with the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, in agreement with their names; each one in agreement with his name like the engravings of a seal; they shall be according to the twelve tribes.

28:22  And thou shalt also make upon the pectoral small chains [of] wreathen work [of] pure gold.

28:23  And thou shalt make upon the pectoral two rings of gold and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the pectoral.

28:24  And thou shalt put the two wreathen [chains] of gold in the two rings [which are] on the ends of the pectoral.

28:25  And [the other] two ends of the two wreathen [chains] thou shalt fasten in the two settings and put [them] on the shoulderpieces of the ephod on the front of it.

28:26  Thou shalt also make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the pectoral in the border thereof, which [is] in the side of the ephod inward.

28:27  Likewise two [other] rings of gold thou shalt make and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the front part thereof, over against the [other] coupling thereof, above the special girdle of the ephod.

28:28  And they shall bind the pectoral by its rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that [it] may be above the special girdle of the ephod and that the pectoral not be loosed from the ephod.

28:29  And Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the pectoral of judgment upon his heart when he goes in unto the sanctuary for a memorial before the LORD continually.

28:30  And thou shalt put in the pectoral of judgment Urim and Thummim, that they shall be upon Aaron's heart when he goes in before the LORD; and Aaron shall always bear the judgment of the sons of Israel upon his heart before the LORD.

28:31  And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all [of] blue.

28:32  And it shall have the collar of his head in the midst thereof, which shall have a binding of woven work round about it, as the collar of a habergeon, that it not be rent.

28:33  And [beneath] upon the hem of it, thou shalt make pomegranates [of] blue and [of] purple and [of] scarlet round about the hem thereof and bells of gold between them round about.

28:34  A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate upon the hem of the robe round about.

28:35  And it shall be upon Aaron to minister, and his sound shall be heard when he goes in unto the sanctuary before the LORD and when he comes out, that he not die.

28:36  Thou shalt also make an open flower [of] pure gold and engrave upon it the engravings of a seal, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD.

28:37  And thou shalt put it on with a blue lace that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.

28:38  And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the sons of Israel shall sanctify in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead that they may find grace before the LORD.

28:39  And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make the mitre [of] fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle [of] needlework.

28:40  And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats; thou shalt also make girdles for them, and tiaras shalt thou make for them, for honour and for beauty.

28:41  And with these thou shalt clothe Aaron, thy brother, and his sons with him and shalt anoint them and fill their hands and sanctify them that they may be my priests.

28:42  And thou shalt make them linen underwear to cover their nakedness; they shall reach from the loins even unto the thighs;

28:43  And they shall be upon Aaron and upon his sons when they enter into the tabernacle of the testimony or when they come near unto the altar to serve in the sanctuary that they not bear iniquity and die: [This shall be] a perpetual statute unto him and his seed after him.:

Chapter 29

29:1  And this is what thou shalt do unto them to sanctify them that they shall be my priests: Take one young bullock and two perfect rams

29:2  and unleavened bread and unleavened cakes tempered with oil and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, which thou shalt make of wheat flour.

29:3  And thou shalt put them into a basket and offer them in the basket with the bullock and the two rams.

29:4  And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony and shalt wash them with water.

29:5  And thou shalt take the garments and clothe Aaron with the coat and the robe of the ephod and the ephod and the pectoral and gird him with the special girdle of the ephod;

29:6  and thou shalt put the mitre upon his head and put the crown of holiness upon the mitre.

29:7  Then shalt thou take the anointing oil and pour [it] upon his head and anoint him.

29:8  And thou shalt bring his sons and put coats upon them.

29:9  And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and bind the tiaras on them; and the priest's office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute; and thou shalt fill the hands Aaron and his sons.

29:10  And thou shalt cause the bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the testimony, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock.

29:11  And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD [by] the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

29:12  And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock and put [it] upon the horns of the altar with thy finger and pour all the [remaining] blood beside the bottom of the altar.

29:13  And thou shalt take all the fat that covers the intestines and the caul [that is] above the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that [is] upon them and burn [them] upon the altar.

29:14  But the flesh of the bullock and his skin and his dung shalt thou burn with fire outside the camp; it [is] sin.

29:15  Thou shalt likewise take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.

29:16  And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood and sprinkle [it] round about upon the altar.

29:17  And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces and wash his intestines and his legs and put [them] upon his pieces and upon his head.

29:18  And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it [is] a burnt offering unto the LORD: it [is] a sweet savour, an offering on fire unto the LORD.

29:19  And thou shalt take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.

29:20  Then shalt thou kill the ram and take of his blood and put [it] upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron and upon the tip of the right ears of his sons and upon the thumb of their right hands and upon the great toe of their right feet and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.

29:21  And thou shalt take of the blood that [shall be] upon the altar and of the anointing oil and sprinkle [it] upon Aaron and upon his garments and upon his sons and upon their garments, and he shall be sanctified, and his garments and his sons and his sons' garments with him.

29:22  Then thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the tail and the fat that covers the intestines and the caul [above] the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that [is] upon them and the right shoulder, for it [is] a ram of consecrations,

29:23  Also one [large] loaf of bread and one cake of oiled bread and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that [is] before the LORD;

29:24  and thou shalt put all [this] in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons and shalt lift them up and wave them before the LORD.

29:25  Then thou shalt take them from their hands and burn [them] upon the altar upon the burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD. It [is] an offering on fire unto the LORD.

29:26  And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of the consecrations, which is of Aaron and wave it [for] a waved [offering] before the LORD; and it shall be thy part.

29:27  And thou shalt set apart the breast of the waved offering and the shoulder of the sanctification, [that] which was waved and [that] which was sanctified of the ram of the consecrations of Aaron and of his sons;

29:28  and it shall be for Aaron and for his sons by a perpetual statute of the sons of Israel, for it [is] something set apart, and it shall be set apart of the sons of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings; it [shall be] something of theirs set apart unto the LORD.

29:29  And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed with them and to be consecrated with them.

29:30  [And] for seven days the priest of his sons, who in his stead shall come into the tabernacle of the testimony, shall put them on to serve in the sanctuary.

29:31  And thou shalt take the ram of the consecrations and cook his flesh in the holy place.

29:32  And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread that [is] in the basket [by] the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

29:33  And they shall eat those things with which they were reconciled, to fill their hands to be sanctified; but a stranger shall not eat [thereof] because they [are] holiness.

29:34  And if any of the flesh of the consecrations or of the bread remains unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire; it shall not be eaten, because it [is] holiness.

29:35  And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron and to his sons, according to all the things which [I]have commanded thee; for seven days shalt thou consecrate them.

29:36  And thou shalt sacrifice a bullock every day for reconciliation of sin; and thou shalt remove the sin from the altar, and thou shalt anoint it to sanctify it.

29:37  For seven days thou shalt reconcile the altar and sanctify it; and it shall be a most holy altar; whatever touches the altar shall be [made] holy.

29:38  Now this [is that] which thou shalt offer upon the altar: two lambs of the first year every day continually.

29:39  The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning, and the other lamb thou shalt offer at evening.

29:40  Moreover a tenth [ephah] of flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil and the fourth part of a hin of wine with each lamb.

29:41  And thou shalt offer the other lamb at evening, doing according to the present of the morning and according to its drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering on fire unto the LORD.

29:42  This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your ages at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the LORD, where I will concert with you, to speak there unto you.

29:43  And there I will testify of myself unto the sons of Israel, and [the place] shall be sanctified with my glory.

29:44  And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar; I will [likewise] sanctify both Aaron and his sons that they may be my priests.

29:45  And I will dwell among the sons of Israel and shall be their God.

29:46  And they shall know that I [am] the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them; I [am] the LORD your God.:

Chapter 30

30:1  In the same manner thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon; [of] cedar wood shalt thou make it.

30:2  Its length [shall be] a cubit and its width a cubit; it shall be square and its height two cubits; its horns [shall be] of the same.

30:3  And thou shalt cover it with pure gold, its top and its sides round about, and its horns; and thou shalt make unto it a moulding of gold round about.

30:4  And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under its moulding by its two corners on both sides for places for the staves to bear it with.

30:5  And thou shalt make the staves [of] cedar wood and cover them with gold.

30:6  And thou shalt put it before the veil that [is] by the ark of the testimony, before the seat of reconciliation that [is] over the testimony, where I will testify unto thee of myself.

30:7  And Aaron shall burn sweet incense thereon every morning; when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn it.

30:8  And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn incense upon it continually before the LORD throughout your ages.

30:9  Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon nor burnt sacrifice nor present; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.

30:10  And Aaron shall make reconciliation upon the horns of it once a year with the blood of the reconciliation for sin; once a year shall he make reconciliation upon it throughout your ages; it [shall be] most holy unto the LORD.

30:11  And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

30:12  When thou takest the number of the sons of Israel after the sum of them, each one shall give a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou dost number them, that there be no mortality in them because of numbering them.

30:13  This shall be given by every one that passes among those that are numbered: half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary (a shekel [is] twenty gerahs); a half shekel [shall be] the offering to the LORD.

30:14  Anyone that passes among those that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give the offering unto the LORD.

30:15  The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when [they] give the offering unto the LORD to make reconciliation for your souls.

30:16  And thou shalt take the reconciliation money of the sons of Israel and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the testimony, and it shall be a memorial unto the sons of Israel before the LORD to reconcile your souls.

30:17  And the LORD spoke further unto Moses, saying,

30:18  Thou shalt also make a laver [of] brass, and its base [also of] brass, to wash [with]; and thou shalt place it between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, and thou shalt put water in it.

30:19  And from it Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet.

30:20  When they go into the tabernacle of the testimony, they shall wash with water that they not die, or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn the offering unto the LORD that must be consumed by fire,

30:21  they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die. And he and his seed shall have [it] as a perpetual statute throughout their generations.

30:22  The LORD spoke further unto Moses, saying,

30:23  Thou must take unto thee of the principal spices: of excellent myrrh five hundred [shekels] and of aromatic cinnamon half so much, [even] two hundred and fifty [shekels], and of aromatic calamus two hundred and fifty [shekels],

30:24  and of cassia five hundred [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive one hin;

30:25  and thou shalt make of it the oil of the holy anointing, a superior ointment, after the art of the apothecary, which shall be the oil of the holy anointing.

30:26  And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the testimony with it and the ark of the testimony

30:27  and the table and all its vessels and the candlestick and its vessels and the altar of incense

30:28  and the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels and the laver and its base.

30:29  Thus thou shalt consecrate them, and they shall be most holy; whatever touches them shall be sanctified.

30:30  And thou shalt also anoint Aaron and his sons and sanctify them that [they] may be my priests.

30:31  And thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, This shall be my oil of the holy anointing throughout your ages.

30:32  It shall not be poured upon man's flesh; neither shall ye make [any other] like it, after the composition of it; it [is] holy, [and] it shall be holy unto you.

30:33  Whoever compounds [any] like it and puts [any] of it upon a stranger shall be cut off from his people.

30:34  And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee aromas, stacte and onycha and aromatic galbanum and pure frankincense, of each in equal weight.

30:35  And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure [and] holy;

30:36  and thou shalt beat [some] of it very small and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the testimony, where I will testify unto thee of myself. It shall be most holy unto you.

30:37  And [as for] the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves [another] according to the composition thereof: it shall be holiness unto thee for the LORD.

30:38  Whoever shall make [another] like unto that to smell it shall be cut off from his people.:

Chapter 31

31:1  And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

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

31:3  and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and in intelligence and in science and in all manner of workmanship,

31:4  to devise cunning works, to work in gold and in silver and in brass,

31:5  and in cutting of stones, to set [them], and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.

31:6  And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the desire of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom that they may make all that I have commanded thee:

31:7  The tabernacle of the testimony and the ark of the testimony and the seat of reconciliation that [shall be] upon it and all the vessels of the tabernacle

31:8  and the table and its vessels and the pure candlestick with all its vessels and the altar of incense,

31:9  and the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels and the laver and its base

31:10  and the clothes of service and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons that they may be priests,

31:11  and the anointing oil and aromatic incense for the sanctuary; they shall do according to all that I have commanded thee.

31:12  And the LORD spoke further unto Moses, saying,

31:13  And thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, With all this ye shall keep my sabbaths; for it [is] a sign between me and you throughout your ages; that [ye] may know that I [am] the LORD that doth sanctify you.

31:14  Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it [is] holy unto you; those that defile it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does [any] work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

31:15  Six days shall work be done; but the seventh, the sabbath of rest, [shall be] holy to the LORD; whoever does [any] work in the sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

31:16  Therefore the sons of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their ages [for] a perpetual covenant.

31:17  It [is] a sign between me and the sons of Israel for ever; for [in] six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.

31:18  And he gave unto Moses, when he finished speaking with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.:

Chapter 32

32:1  And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron and said unto him, Rise up, make us gods which shall go before us; for [as for] this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.

32:2  And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which [are] in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring [them] unto me.

32:3  Then all the people broke off the golden earrings which [were] in their ears and brought [them] unto Aaron,

32:4  who took them from their hands and fashioned it with a graving tool and made of it a molten calf. Then they said, These [are] thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

32:5  And seeing this, Aaron built an altar before the [calf]; and Aaron made [a] proclamation and said, Tomorrow [shall be] a feast unto the LORD.

32:6  And they rose up early on the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink and rose up to play.

32:7  Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go, descend; for thy people, which thou didst bring out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted [themselves]:

32:8  They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them; they have made themselves a molten calf and have worshipped it and have sacrificed unto it and said, These [are] thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of [the] land of Egypt.

32:9  The LORD further said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and for certain it [is] a stiffnecked people.

32:10  Now therefore let me alone that my wrath may wax hot in them and consume them; and I will put thee over [a] great nation.

32:11  Then Moses grieved before the LORD his God and said, LORD, why shall thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?

32:12  Why should the Egyptians speak and say, For evil did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains and to consume them from upon the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath and repent of the evil of thy people.

32:13  Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou didst sware by thine own self and hast said unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall take it for inheritance for ever.

32:14  Then the LORD repented of the evil which he said should be done unto his people.

32:15  And Moses turned and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony [were] in his hand; the tables [were] written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other [were] they written.

32:16  And the tables [were] the work of God, and the writing [was] the writing of God, graven upon the tables.

32:17  And Joshua, hearing the noise of the people as they shouted, said unto Moses, [There is] a noise of war in the camp.

32:18  And he answered, [It is] not the voice of [those that] shout for mastery, neither [is it] the voice of [those that] cry for being overcome, [but] the noise of [those that] sing that I hear.

32:19  And it came to pass as soon as he came near unto the camp and he saw the calf and the dances, anger caused Moses to wax hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mount.

32:20  And he took the calf which they had made and burnt [it] in the fire and ground [it] to powder and scattered [it] upon the waters and made the sons of Israel drink [it].

32:21  And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people [do] unto thee that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?

32:22  And Aaron answered, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot; thou knowest the people that they [are inclined] to evil.

32:23  For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us, for [as for] this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him.

32:24  And I answered unto them, Whoever has any gold, let them break [it] off. So they gave [it to] me and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out.

32:25  And when Moses saw that the people [were] naked (for Aaron had made them naked unto [their] shame among their enemies),

32:26  Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp and said, Who [is] on the LORD'S side? [Come] unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.

32:27  And he said unto them, Thus hath the LORD God of Israel said, Put every man his sword by his side [and] go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp and slay each one his brother and his companion and his neighbour.

32:28  And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses, and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.

32:29  Then Moses had said, Today you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, for each one [has consecrated] in his son and in his brother, that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.

32:30  And it came to pass on the next day that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin, but now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make reconciliation for your sin.

32:31  Then Moses returned unto the LORD and said, I pray thee, [for], this people [who] have sinned a great sin and have made themselves gods of gold,

32:32  that thou wilt forgive their sin; and if not, blot me now out of thy book which thou hast written.

32:33  And the LORD answered unto Moses, Whoever has sinned against me, this one will [I] blot out of my book.

32:34  Therefore go now, lead the people unto [the place] of which I have spoken unto thee; behold, my Angel shall go before thee; nevertheless in the day of my visitation [I] will visit their sin in them.

32:35  And the LORD smote the people because they had made the calf, which Aaron formed.:

Chapter 33

33:1  And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart [and] go up from here, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt unto the land which I swore unto Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it.

33:2  (And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.)

33:3  Unto the land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou [art] a stiffnecked people lest I consume thee in the way.

33:4  And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned, and no one put on their ornaments.

33:5  For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the sons of Israel, Ye [are] a stiffnecked people; I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment and consume thee; therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee that I may know what to do unto thee.

33:6  Then the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments from mount Horeb [on].

33:7  And Moses took the tabernacle and pitched it outside the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the tabernacle of the testimony. And it came to pass [that] every one who sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the testimony, which [was] outside the camp.

33:8  And it came to pass when Moses would go out unto the tabernacle, [that] all the people would rise up and stand each one [at] the door of their tent, with their gaze following Moses until he was gone into the tabernacle.

33:9  And when Moses would enter into the tabernacle, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand [at] the door of the tabernacle, and [the] LORD would talk with Moses.

33:10  And when all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand [at] the tabernacle door, all the people would rise up, each one in the door of their tent, and worship.

33:11  And the LORD would speak unto Moses face to face, as anyone would speak unto their friend. And he would turn again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart out of the tabernacle.

33:12  And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring this people out, and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou saith, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.

33:13  Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight; and consider that this nation [is] thy people.

33:14  And he said, My presence shall go [with thee], and I will give thee rest.

33:15  And he said unto him, If thy presence is not to go before [us], do not bring us out of here.

33:16  For in what shall it be known here that I have found grace in thy sight, I and thy people, but in that thou goest with us, and I and thy people will be separated from all the peoples that [are] upon the face of the earth?

33:17  And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken because thou hast found grace in my sight, and I have known thee by name.

33:18  Then he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory.

33:19  And he replied, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name that I AM before thee; and I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy and will show clemency on whom I will show clemency.

33:20  He further said, Thou canst not see my face; for no man shall see me and live.

33:21  And the LORD continued saying, Behold, [there is] a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock;

33:22  and it shall come to pass while my glory passes by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock and will cover thee with my hand until I have passed by.

33:23  Then I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back parts, but my face shall not be seen.:

Chapter 34

34:1  And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew two tables of stone like unto the first; and I will write upon [these] tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou didst break.

34:2  And be ready for tomorrow and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.

34:3  And no man shall come up with thee; neither let anyone be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the sheep nor the cows feed before the mount.

34:4  And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and Moses rose up early in the morning and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.

34:5  And the LORD descended in [a] cloud and was with him there proclaiming the name of I AM.

34:6  And as the LORD passed by before him, he proclaimed, I AM, I AM strong, merciful, and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy and truth,

34:7  keeping mercy for thousands, letting go of iniquity and rebellion and sin; and by no means will I absolve [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons and upon the son's sons, unto the third and to the fourth [generation].

34:8  Then Moses made haste and bowed his head toward the earth and worshipped.

34:9  And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us, for this [is] a stiffnecked people, and forgive our iniquity and our sin and possess us.

34:10  And he said, Behold, I make a covenant before all thy people: I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom thou [art] shall see the work of the LORD; for it [shall be] a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

34:11  Keep that which I command thee this day; behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

34:12  Keep thyself lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where thou must enter lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee;

34:13  but ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves;

34:14  for thou shalt worship no other god; for the LORD, whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God.

34:15  Therefore thou shalt not make a covenant with the inhabitants of that land because they shall fornicate after their gods and do sacrifice unto their gods, and they shall call thee, and thou shalt eat of their sacrifices

34:16  or take of their daughters unto thy sons, and [when] their daughters go fornicating after their gods [they shall] make thy sons also fornicate after their gods.

34:17  Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.

34:18  The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib; for in the month Abib thou didst come out from Egypt.

34:19  All that opens the womb [is] mine; and every firstborn among thy livestock, [whether] of cow or of sheep, that is male.

34:20  But the firstborn of an ass thou shalt ransom with a lamb, and if thou ransom [him] not, then shalt thou cut off his head. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt ransom, and none shall appear before me empty.

34:21  Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt cease; in ploughing [time] and in harvest thou shalt cease.

34:22  And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of the reaping of the wheat, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.

34:23  Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the GOD [who is] Lord of all, the God of Israel.

34:24  For I will cast the Gentiles out of thy presence and enlarge thy borders; neither shall anyone covet thy land when thou shalt go up to be seen before the LORD thy God three times a year.

34:25  Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice upon anything leavened; neither shall [any] of the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.

34:26  The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not cook a kid in his mother's milk.

34:27  And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words; for according to these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.

34:28  And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

34:29  And it came to pass, as Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, while he came down from the mount, that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone after he had talked with him.

34:30  And when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.

34:31  And Moses called them, and Aaron and all the princes of the congregation returned unto him, and Moses talked with them.

34:32  And afterward all the sons of Israel came near, and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.

34:33  And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.

34:34  But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he would take the veil off until he came out. And as he came out, he would speak unto the sons of Israel [that] which he was commanded.

34:35  And the sons of Israel would see the face of Moses that the skin of Moses' face shone, and Moses would put the veil upon his face again until he would go in to speak with him.:

Chapter 35

35:1  And Moses gathered all the congregation of the sons of Israel together and said unto them, These [are] the words which the LORD has commanded that [ye] should do them.

35:2  Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day shall be holy unto you, a sabbath of rest to the LORD; whoever does work therein shall die.

35:3  Ye shall kindle no fire in any of your habitations upon the sabbath day.

35:4  And Moses spoke unto all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, This [is] what the LORD commanded, saying,

35:5  Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD; whoever [is] of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD: gold, silver, brass;

35:6  blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats' [hair];

35:7  rams' skins dyed red, badgers' skins, cedar wood;

35:8  oil for the light, spices for anointing oil and for the aromatic incense;

35:9  onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the pectoral.

35:10  And everyone [that is] wise hearted among you shall come and make all that the LORD has commanded:

35:11  The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its hooks, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;

35:12  the ark and its staves, the seat of reconciliation, and the veil of the tent,

35:13  the table and its staves and all its vessels, and the showbread;

35:14  the candlestick also for the light and its vessels and its lamps, and the oil for the light;

35:15  and the altar of incense and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the aromatic incense, and the hanging for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle,

35:16  the altar of burnt offering with its brasen grate, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base,

35:17  the hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,

35:18  the stakes of the tabernacle and the stakes of the court, and their cords,

35:19  the clothing of service to minister in the sanctuary, [that is], the holy garments of Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons to serve in the priesthood.

35:20  And all the congregation of the sons of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

35:21  And they came, every man whose heart stirred him up, and every one whose spirit made them willing, [and] they brought the LORD'S offering for the work of the tabernacle of the testimony and for all his service and for the holy garments.

35:22  And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, [and] brought chains and earrings, rings and bracelets, and all jewels of gold; and anyone [that] offered [offered] an offering of gold unto the LORD.

35:23  Every man who had blue or purple or scarlet or fine linen or goats' [hair] or red skins of rams or badgers' skins brought [them].

35:24  Anyone that offered an offering of silver or brass brought the offering unto the LORD; and every man, with whom was found cedar wood, brought it for all the work of the service.

35:25  And all the women that were wise hearted spun with their hands and brought that which they had spun: blue or purple or scarlet or fine linen.

35:26  And all the women whose heart lifted them up in wisdom spun goats' [hair].

35:27  And the princes brought onyx stones and the stones to be set for the ephod and for the pectoral;

35:28  and [aromatic] spice and oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the aromatic incense.

35:29  Of the sons of Israel, men and women, all that had a willing heart to bring for all the work, which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses, brought a voluntary offering unto the LORD.

35:30  And Moses said unto the sons of Israel, See, the LORD has named Bezaleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

35:31  and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in intelligence, in science, and in all manner of workmanship;

35:32  to invent and devise, to work in gold and in silver and in brass,

35:33  and in the cutting of stones, to set [them], and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.

35:34  And he has put in his heart that he may teach, [both] he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

35:35  And he has filled them with wisdom of heart to work all manner of work of the engraver and of the cunning workman and of the embroiderer, in blue and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver: that they may do any work, and invent every design.:

Chapter 36

36:1  Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab and every wise hearted man unto whom the LORD gave wisdom and intelligence to know how to do all the work of the service of the sanctuary, all the things that the LORD had commanded.

36:2  And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab and every wise hearted man in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom and every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it;

36:3  and they took from the presence of Moses all the offering which the sons of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it [with]. And they brought yet unto him free will offerings every morning.

36:4  So much that all the wise men that wrought all the work of the sanctuary came every man from his work which they made,

36:5  and they spoke with Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the work of the ministry which the LORD commanded to make.

36:6  And Moses commanded it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing,

36:7  for they had abundant material for all the work; more than enough to make it [with].

36:8  And everyone with a wise heart among those that wrought the work made the tabernacle of ten curtains [of] fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet, which they made of cunning work, [with] cherubim.

36:9  The length of one curtain [was] twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits; the curtains [were] all of one size.

36:10  And he coupled the five curtains one unto another; and [the other] five curtains he coupled one unto another.

36:11  And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain in the border in the coupling; likewise he made in the border of the second curtain in the coupling.

36:12  Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the second curtain in the border in the coupling, the loops in front of the others.

36:13  And he made fifty hooks of gold and coupled the curtains one unto another with the hooks, so it became one tabernacle.

36:14  Likewise he made curtains of goats' [hair] for the tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains.

36:15  The length of one curtain [was] thirty cubits, and four cubits [was] the breadth of one curtain; the eleven curtains [were] of one size.

36:16  And he coupled five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves.

36:17  And he made fifty loops upon the edge of the uttermost curtain in the coupling, and he made another fifty loops upon the edge of the other curtain in the coupling.

36:18  And he also made fifty hooks [of] brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.

36:19  And he made a covering for the tent [of] rams' skins dyed red, and [another] covering of badgers' skins above [that].

36:20  And he made the boards for the tabernacle [of] cedar wood, standing up.

36:21  The length of each board [was] ten cubits, and the breadth one cubit and a half.

36:22  Each board had two tenons, equally distant one from another; thus did he make all the boards of the tabernacle.

36:23  He made, therefore, the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side towards the Negev.

36:24  He also made the forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under one board for its two tenons and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

36:25  And for the other side of the tabernacle, on the side of the Aquilon, he made twenty boards,

36:26  with their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

36:27  And for the westward side of the tabernacle he made six boards.

36:28  And he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides,

36:29  which were coupled beneath and likewise coupled together above to a ring; thus he did to both of them in both the corners.

36:30  They were, therefore, eight boards; and their sockets [were] sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.

36:31  And he also made bars of cedar wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

36:32  and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the westward side.

36:33  And he made the middle bar to pass through the boards from the one end to the other.

36:34  And he covered the boards with gold and made their rings [of] gold for the bars to pass through and covered the bars with gold also.

36:35  Likewise he made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, which he made with cherubim of cunning work.

36:36  And for it he made four pillars of cedar and covered them with gold; their capitals [were of] gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.

36:37  Likewise he made the veil for the tabernacle door [of] blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, of needlework,

36:38  and its five pillars with their capitals; and he covered their heads and their fillets with gold; and their five sockets [he made] of brass.:

Chapter 37

37:1  Bezaleel also made the ark [of] cedar wood; two cubits and a half [was] the length of it, a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it;

37:2  and he covered it with pure gold within and without and made a moulding of gold to it round about.

37:3  And he cast for it four rings of gold, [to be set] by the four corners of it: even two rings upon the one side of it and two rings upon the other side of it.

37:4  He also made the staves [of] cedar wood and covered them with gold.

37:5  And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

37:6  He made the seat of reconciliation likewise [of] pure gold; two cubits and a half [was] its length, and one cubit and a half its breadth.

37:7  He also made the two cherubim [of] gold, beaten out of one piece he made them, on the two ends of the seat of reconciliation;

37:8  one cherub on the end on this side and another cherub on the [other] end on that side of the seat of reconciliation; he made the cherubim on the two ends thereof.

37:9  And the cherubim spread out [their] wings above, covering with their wings the seat of reconciliation, with their faces one to another; the faces of the cherubim were [facing] the covering.

37:10  And he made the table [of] cedar wood; two cubits [was] the length thereof and a cubit the breadth thereof and a cubit and a half the height thereof;

37:11  and he covered it with pure gold and made it [a] moulding of gold round about.

37:12  He also made it a border of a handbreadth round about and made a moulding of gold for the border thereof round about.

37:13  And he cast for it four rings of gold and put the rings upon the four corners that correspond to the four feet thereof.

37:14  Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.

37:15  And he made the staves [of] cedar wood and covered them with gold, to bear the table.

37:16  He also made the vessels which [were] upon the table, its dishes, its spoons, its bowls, and its covers to cover the [bread], [of] pure gold.

37:17  He made the candlestick likewise [of] pure gold; [of] beaten work he made the candlestick, its shaft and its branch, its bowls, its knops, and its flowers were of the same.

37:18  Out of the sides thereof went six branches, three branches out of one side of the candlestick and three branches out of the other side of the candlestick;

37:19  in one branch [there were] three bowls made after the fashion of almonds, a knop and a flower; and in the other branch [there were] three bowls made like almonds, a knop and a flower, so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick.

37:20  And in the candlestick [were] four bowls made like almonds, their knops, and their flowers,

37:21  and a knop under the two branches of the same and another knop under two branches of the same and a knop under the two [other] branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it.

37:22  Their knops and their branches were of the same; all of it [was] one beaten work [of] pure gold.

37:23  He made likewise its seven lamps and its snuffers and its snuff dishes [of] pure gold.

37:24  [Of] a talent of pure gold he made it and all its vessels.

37:25  He also made the altar of incense [of] cedar wood: the length of it [was] a cubit and the breadth of it a cubit; [it was] square; and two cubits [was] the height of it; its horns were of the same piece.

37:26  And he covered it with pure gold, its top and its sides round about and its horns; and he made it [a] moulding of gold round about.

37:27  He also made two rings of gold for it under the moulding thereof, by the two corners of it, upon its two sides, to be places for the staves to bear it with.

37:28  And he made the staves [of] cedar wood and covered them with gold.

37:29  He made likewise the oil of the holy anointing and the pure aromatic incense, according to the work of the apothecary.:

Chapter 38

38:1  And he made the altar of burnt offering [of] cedar wood: five cubits [was] its length and five cubits its breadth; [it was] square, and its height [was] three cubits.

38:2  And he made its horns on the four corners of it; its horns were of the same piece; and he covered it with brass.

38:3  He made likewise all the vessels of the altar: the pots and the shovels and the basins [and] the fleshhooks, and the firepans; all its vessels he made [of] brass.

38:4  And he made for the altar the brasen grate of network under the circumference thereof beneath unto the midst of it.

38:5  He also cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, [to be] places for the staves.

38:6  And he made the staves [of] cedar wood and covered them with brass.

38:7  And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it with; he made the altar hollow with boards.

38:8  He also made the laver [of] brass and the base of it [of] brass, of the looking glasses of [the women] who were vigilant [at] the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

38:9  He made the court likewise; on the south side towards the Negev the hangings of the court [were of] fine twined linen, one hundred cubits;

38:10  their pillars [were] twenty with their twenty brasen sockets; the capitals of the pillars and their fillets [were of] silver.

38:11  And for the side of the Aquilon, [the hangings were] one hundred cubits, their pillars twenty with their twenty sockets of brass, the capitals of the pillars and their fillets [of] silver.

38:12  On the west side [were] hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten and their sockets ten, the capitals of the pillars and their fillets [of] silver,

38:13  and for the east side eastward fifty cubits

38:14  the hangings of the one side fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three;

38:15  and for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, [were] hangings of fifteen cubits, their pillars three and their sockets three.

38:16  All the hangings of the court round about [were] of fine twined linen.

38:17  And the sockets for the pillars [were of] brass, the capitals of the pillars and their fillets [of] silver and the coverings of their heads [of] silver; likewise all the pillars of the court [were] filleted with silver.

38:18  And the hanging for the gate of the court [was] needlework [of] blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen; twenty cubits [was] the length, and the height in the breadth [was] five cubits, the same as the hangings of the court.

38:19  And its pillars [were] four with its four sockets [of] brass, their capitals [of] silver, and the coverings of their heads and their fillets [of] silver.

38:20  And all the stakes of the tabernacle and of the court round about [were of] brass.

38:21  This is the sum of the tabernacle, [even] of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, [for] the ministry of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.

38:22  And Bezaleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.

38:23  And with him [was] Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a master workman, an engineer, and an embroiderer in blue and in purple and in scarlet and fine linen.

38:24  All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the sanctuary, which was gold of offering, was twenty-nine talents and seven hundred and thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

38:25  And the silver of those that were numbered of the congregation [was] one hundred talents and one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary:

38:26  A half per head, [that is], half a shekel, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, [which were] six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.

38:27  And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary and the sockets of the veil: one hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

38:28  And of the thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels he made the capitals for the pillars and covered their heads and filleted them.

38:29  And the brass of the offering [was] seventy talents and two thousand four hundred shekels,

38:30  with which he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony and the brasen altar and the brasen grate for it and all the vessels of the altar

38:31  and the sockets of the court round about and the sockets of the court gate and all the stakes of the tabernacle, and all the stakes of the court round about.:

Chapter 39

39:1  And of the blue and purple and scarlet, they made the clothing of the ministry, to minister in the sanctuary, and in the same manner they made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

39:2  He also made the ephod [of] gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.

39:3  And they beat the gold into thin plates and cut [it into] wires to work [it] in the blue and in the purple and in the scarlet and in the fine linen, [with] cunning work.

39:4  They made the shoulder pieces for it to couple [it] together; by the two edges was it coupled together.

39:5  And the special girdle of his ephod, that [was] over it, [was] of the same, according to the work thereof: [of] gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen as the LORD had commanded Moses.

39:6  And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in settings of gold, graven, as seals are graven, with the names of the sons of Israel.

39:7  And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod [that they should be] stones for a memorial to the sons of Israel, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

39:8  He also made the pectoral [of] cunning work, like the work of the ephod [of] gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.

39:9  It was square; they made the pectoral double; a span [was] the length thereof and a span the breadth thereof, [being] doubled.

39:10  And they set in it four orders of stones. The order was a ruby, an emerald, and a chrysolite: this [was] the first order.

39:11  The second order, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond.

39:12  The third order, a topaz, a turquoise, and an amethyst.

39:13  And the fourth order, a tarshish ([or beryl]), an onyx, and a jasper; [they were] set and inclosed in their settings of gold.

39:14  The stones [were] in agreement with the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, in agreement with their names, [like] the engravings of a seal, each one in agreement with his name, according to the twelve tribes.

39:15  They also made the small chains upon the pectoral [of] wreathen work [of] pure gold.

39:16  In the same manner they made two settings [of] gold and two gold rings and put the two rings in the two ends of the pectoral.

39:17  And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in those two rings on the ends of the pectoral.

39:18  And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two settings, which they put on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, on the front part of it.

39:19  And they made two rings of gold and put [them] on the two ends of the pectoral upon the border of it, which was on the lower side of the ephod.

39:20  And they made two [other] golden rings and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath toward the front part of it, in the front of its coupling, above the special girdle of the ephod.

39:21  And they bound the pectoral by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue lace, that it might be above the special girdle of the ephod and that the pectoral might not be loosed from the ephod, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

39:22  And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all [of] blue,

39:23  with its collar in the midst of the robe, as the collar of a habergeon, [with] a band round about the collar that it should not rend.

39:24  And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates [of] blue, purple, scarlet, [and] twined [linen].

39:25  They also made the bells [of] pure gold and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;

39:26  A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister [in], as the LORD commanded Moses.

39:27  And they made the coats [of] fine linen [of] woven work for Aaron and for his sons,

39:28  likewise the mitre [of] fine linen and the decorations of the tiaras [of] fine linen and the linen underwear [of] fine twined linen,

39:29  also the girdle [of] fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet [of] needlework, as the LORD commanded Moses.

39:30  And they made the open flower, the crown of holiness, [of] pure gold and wrote upon it a writing, [like to] the engravings of a seal, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD.

39:31  And they tied unto it a lace of blue to fasten [it] over the mitre, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

39:32  Thus was all the work of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony finished, and the sons of Israel did according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses, so did they.

39:33  And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tabernacle and all its furniture, its hooks, its boards, its bars and its pillars and its sockets,

39:34  and the covering of rams' skins dyed red and the covering of badgers' skins and the veil of the curtain,

39:35  the ark of the testimony and its staves, and the seat of reconciliation,

39:36  the table [and] all its vessels, and the showbread,

39:37  the pure candlestick [with] its lamps, [even with] the lamps to be set in order, and all its vessels and the oil for light,

39:38  the golden altar and the anointing oil and the aromatic incense and the hanging for the tabernacle door.

39:39  The brasen altar with its grate of brass, its staves, and all its vessels, and the laver and its base.

39:40  The hangings of the court, its pillars and its sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, its cords and its stakes, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tabernacle of the testimony,

39:41  the clothing of service for ministry in the sanctuary, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and his sons' garments, to minister in the priesthood.

39:42  According to all that the LORD had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel made all the work.

39:43  And Moses looked upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it; and Moses blessed them.:

Chapter 40

40:1  And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

40:2  In the day of the first month, the first of the month shalt thou set up the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony.

40:3  And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony and cover the ark with the veil.

40:4  And thou shalt bring in the table and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it, and thou shalt bring in the candlestick and light its lamps.

40:5  And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.

40:6  Then thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle, of the tabernacle of the testimony.

40:7  And thou shalt set the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar and shalt put water therein.

40:8  Last, thou shalt set up the court round about and hang up the hanging at the court gate.

40:9  And thou shalt take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that [is] in it and shalt sanctify it with all its vessels, and it shall be holy.

40:10  And thou shalt also anoint the altar of the burnt offering and all its vessels and sanctify the altar, and it shall be an altar most holy.

40:11  In the same manner thou shalt anoint the laver and its base and sanctify it.

40:12  And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony and wash them with water.

40:13  And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments and anoint him and sanctify him, that he may be my priest.

40:14  And thou shalt bring his sons and clothe them with coats.

40:15  And thou shalt anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, and they shall be my priests; and it shall be that their anointing shall be unto them for a perpetual priesthood throughout their generations.

40:16  Thus did Moses; according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.

40:17  And it came to pass in the first month in the second year on the first [day] of the month [that] the tabernacle was raised up.

40:18  And Moses caused the tabernacle to be raised up and fastened its sockets and set up its boards and put in its bars and caused its pillars to be raised up.

40:19  And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent above upon it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

40:20  And he took and put the testimony into the ark and set the staves on the ark and put the seat of reconciliation upon the ark above,

40:21  and he brought the ark into the tabernacle and set up the veil of the curtain and covered the ark of the testimony, as the LORD commanded Moses.

40:22  And he put the table in the tabernacle of the testimony, upon the side of the Aquilon of the tabernacle, outside the veil.

40:23  And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

40:24  And he put the candlestick in the tabernacle of the testimony, over against the table, on the side of the Negev of the tabernacle.

40:25  And he lighted the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

40:26  He also put the golden altar in the tabernacle of the testimony before the veil.

40:27  And he burnt aromatic incense on it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

40:28  In the same manner he set up the hanging [at] the door of the tabernacle.

40:29  And he put the altar of burnt offering [by] the door of the tabernacle, of the tabernacle of the testimony, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the present, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

40:30  And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar and put water in it, to wash [with].

40:31  And Moses and Aaron and his sons would wash their hands and their feet in it.

40:32  When they would enter into the tabernacle of the testimony and when they would come near unto the altar, they washed themselves, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

40:33  Last he raised up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar and set up the hanging of the court gate. Thus Moses finished the work.

40:34  Then a cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

40:35  And Moses was not able to enter into the tabernacle of the testimony because the cloud was upon it, and the glory of the LORD had it full.

40:36  And when the cloud lifted itself up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel went onward in all their journeys;

40:37  but if the cloud did not lift itself up, then they did not journey until the day that it lifted itself up.

40:38  For the cloud of the LORD [was] upon the tabernacle by day, and the fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.:
