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