[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.
[1]
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a
daughter of Levi.
[2] And the woman conceived, and bare a
son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him
three months.
[3] And when she could not longer hide him,
she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and
with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags
by the river's brink.
[4] And his sister stood afar off, to
wit what would be done to him.
[5] And the daughter of
Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens
walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the
flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
[6] And when she had
opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had
compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews'
children.
[7] Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter,
Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may
nurse the child for thee?
[8] And Pharaoh's daughter said
to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
[9]
And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse
it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the
child, and nursed it.
[10] And the child grew, and she
brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she
called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the
water.
[11] And it came to pass in those days, when Moses
was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their
burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his
brethren.
[12] And he looked this way and that way, and
when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him
in the sand.
[13] And when he went out the second day,
behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him
that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
[14]
And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest
thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and
said, Surely this thing is known.
[15] Now when Pharaoh
heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the
face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by
a well.
[16] Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters:
and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their
father's flock.
[17] And the shepherds came and drove them
away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their
flock.
[18] And when they came to Reuel their father, he
said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
[19] And
they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds,
and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
[20]
And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye
have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
[21]
And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses
Zipporah his daughter.
[22] And she bare him a son, and he
called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a
strange land.
[23] And it came to pass in process of time,
that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by
reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God
by reason of the bondage.
[24] And God heard their
groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac,
and with Jacob.
[25] And God looked upon the children of
Israel, and God had respect unto them.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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?
[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.
[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.
[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.
[1]
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened
his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my
signs before him:
[2] And that thou mayest tell in the ears
of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in
Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know
how that I am the LORD.
[3] And Moses and Aaron came in
unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the
Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let
my people go, that they may serve me.
[4] Else, if thou
refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the
locusts into thy coast:
[5] And they shall cover the face
of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they
shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto
you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out
of the field:
[6] And they shall fill thy houses, and the
houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians;
which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since
the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned
himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
[7] And Pharaoh's
servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us?
let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou
not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
[8] And Moses and Aaron
were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the
LORD your God: but who are they that shall go?
[9] And
Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons
and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we
go; for we must hold a feast unto the LORD.
[10] And he
said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go,
and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.
[11]
Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did
desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
[12]
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of
Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt,
and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath
left.
[13] And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land
of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that
day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind
brought the locusts.
[14] And the locusts went up over all
the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very
grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they,
neither after them shall be such.
[15] For they covered the
face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did
eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the
hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees,
or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
[16]
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have
sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
[17] Now
therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat
the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death
only.
[18] And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the
LORD.
[19] And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind,
which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there
remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
[20]
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the
children of Israel go.
[21] And the LORD said unto Moses,
Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over
the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
[22]
And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a
thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
[23]
They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three
days: but all the children of Israel had light in their
dwellings.
[24] And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go
ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed:
let your little ones also go with you.
[25] And Moses said,
Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may
sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
[26] Our cattle also shall
go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must
we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must
serve the LORD, until we come thither.
[27] But the LORD
hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
[28]
And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself,
see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt
die.
[29] And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see
thy face again no more.
[1]
And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon
Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he
shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence
altogether.
[2] Speak now in the ears of the people, and
let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her
neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
[3] And
the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians.
Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the
sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.
[4]
And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out
into the midst of Egypt:
[5] And all the firstborn in the
land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth
upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is
behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
[6] And
there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as
there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
[7]
But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his
tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth
put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
[8] And
all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down
themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that
follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from
Pharaoh in a great anger.
[9] And the LORD said unto Moses,
Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied
in the land of Egypt.
[10] And Moses and Aaron did all
these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart,
so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
[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 Pharoah 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.
[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.
[1]
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the
children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth,
between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal-zephon: before it shall
ye encamp by the sea.
[3] For Pharaoh will say of the
children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness
hath shut them in.
[4] And I will harden Pharaoh's heart,
that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh,
and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the
LORD. And they did so.
[5] And it was told the king of
Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his
servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we
done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
[6]
And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
[7]
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of
Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
[8] And the
LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued
after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out
with an high hand.
[9] But the Egyptians pursued after
them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and
his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth,
before Baal-zephon.
[10] And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the
children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians
marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of
Israel cried out unto the LORD.
[11] And they said unto
Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away
to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to
carry us forth out of Egypt?
[12] Is not this the word that
we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve
the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians,
than that we should die in the wilderness.
[13] And Moses
said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation
of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom
ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
[14]
The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
[15]
And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak
unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
[16] But
lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and
divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through
the midst of the sea.
[17] And I, behold, I will harden the
hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get
me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and
upon his horsemen.
[18] And the Egyptians shall know that I
am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his
chariots, and upon his horsemen.
[19] And the angel of God,
which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them;
and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood
behind them:
[20] And it came between the camp of the
Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to
them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not
near the other all the night.
[21] And Moses stretched out
his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a
strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the
waters were divided.
[22] And the children of Israel went
into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a
wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
[23]
And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the
sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
[24]
And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto
the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the
cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
[25] And
took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that
the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD
fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
[26] And the LORD
said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters
may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon
their horsemen.
[27] And Moses stretched forth his hand
over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning
appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew
the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
[28] And the waters
returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the
host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not
so much as one of them.
[29] But the children of Israel
walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a
wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
[30]
Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians;
and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
[31]
And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians:
and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his
servant Moses.
[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.
[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.
[1]
And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the
wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment
of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the
people to drink.
[2] Wherefore the people did chide with
Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto
them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
[3]
And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured
against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us
up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with
thirst?
[4] And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What
shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
[5]
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with
thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the
river, take in thine hand, and go.
[6] Behold, I will stand
before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the
rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may
drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
[7]
And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of
the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the
LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
[8] Then came
Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
[9] And Moses
said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek:
to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in
mine hand.
[10] So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and
fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of
the hill.
[11] And it came to pass, when Moses held up his
hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek
prevailed.
[12] But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took
a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur
stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the
other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the
sun.
[13] And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with
the edge of the sword.
[14] And the LORD said unto Moses,
Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of
Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from
under heaven.
[15] And Moses built an altar, and called the
name of it Jehovah-nissi:
[16] For he said, Because the
LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from
generation to generation.
[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
inquire 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 Godward, 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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[1]
Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the
wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
[2] Thou shalt not
follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to
decline after many to wrest judgment:
[3] Neither shalt
thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
[4] If thou meet
thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it
back to him again.
[5] If thou see the ass of him that
hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him,
thou shalt surely help with him.
[6] Thou shalt not wrest
the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
[7] Keep thee far
from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not:
for I will not justify the wicked.
[8] And thou shalt take
no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of
the righteous.
[9] Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger:
for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the
land of Egypt.
[10] And six years thou shalt sow thy land,
and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
[11] But the
seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of
thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall
eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy
oliveyard.
[12] Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the
seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest,
and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
[13]
And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make
no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of
thy mouth.
[14] Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me
in the year.
[15] Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened
bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded
thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest
out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
[16]
And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou
hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the
end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the
field.
[17] Three times in the year all thy males shall
appear before the Lord GOD.
[18] Thou shalt not offer the
blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of
my sacrifice remain until the morning.
[19] The first of
the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the
LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
[20]
Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to
bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
[21]
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not
pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
[22] But
if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I
will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine
adversaries.
[23] For mine Angel shall go before thee, and
bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the
Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:
and I will cut them off.
[24] Thou shalt not bow down to
their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt
utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
[25]
And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread,
and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of
thee.
[26] There shall nothing cast their young, nor be
barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
[27]
I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to
whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their
backs unto thee.
[28] And I will send hornets before thee,
which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite,
from before thee.
[29] I will not drive them out from
before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast
of the field multiply against thee.
[30] By little and
little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be
increased, and inherit the land.
[31] And I will set thy
bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and
from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of
the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before
thee.
[32] Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with
their gods.
[33] They shall not dwell in thy land, lest
they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will
surely be a snare unto thee.
[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.
[1]
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the
children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that
giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
[3]
And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and
silver, and brass,
[4] And blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine linen, and goats' hair,
[5] And rams' skins dyed
red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
[6] Oil for the
light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
[7]
Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the
breastplate.
[8] And let them make me a sanctuary; that I
may dwell among them.
[9] According to all that I shew
thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the
instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
[10] And
they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall
be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof,
and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
[11] And thou
shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou
overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.
[12]
And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the
four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it,
and two rings in the other side of it.
[13] And thou shalt
make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
[14]
And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark,
that the ark may be borne with them.
[15] The staves shall
be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.
[16]
And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give
thee.
[17] And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold:
two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a
half the breadth thereof.
[18] And thou shalt make two
cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two
ends of the mercy seat.
[19] And make one cherub on the one
end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat
shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
[20]
And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering
the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to
another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims
be.
[21] And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the
ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give
thee.
[22] And there I will meet with thee, and I will
commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two
cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things
which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of
Israel.
[23] Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood:
two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth
thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
[24]
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of
gold round about.
[25] And thou shalt make unto it a border
of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to
the border thereof round about.
[26] And thou shalt make
for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that
are on the four feet thereof.
[27] Over against the border
shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.
[28]
And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with
gold, that the table may be borne with them.
[29] And thou
shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers
thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou
make them.
[30] And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread
before me alway.
[31] And thou shalt make a candlestick of
pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft,
and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of
the same.
[32] And six branches shall come out of the sides
of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and
three branches of the candlestick out of the other side:
[33]
Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one
branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a
knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the
candlestick.
[34] And in the candlestick shall be four
bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their
flowers.
[35] And there shall be a knop under two branches
of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop
under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that
proceed out of the candlestick.
[36] Their knops and their
branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of
pure gold.
[37] And thou shalt make the seven lamps
thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give
light over against it.
[38] And the tongs thereof, and the
snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold.
[39] Of a
talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
[40]
And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed
thee in the mount.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[1]
And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood
shalt thou make it.
[2] A cubit shall be the length
thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and
two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of
the same.
[3] And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the
top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns
thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.
[4]
And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by
the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it;
and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.
[5]
And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with
gold.
[6] And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by
the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the
testimony, where I will meet with thee.
[7] And Aaron shall
burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps,
he shall burn incense upon it.
[8] And when Aaron lighteth
the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense
before the LORD throughout your generations.
[9] Ye shall
offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat
offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.
[10]
And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year
with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year
shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is
most holy unto the LORD.
[11] And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
[12] When thou takest the sum of the
children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man
a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that
there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.
[13]
This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are
numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel
is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the
LORD.
[14] Every one that passeth among them that are
numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering
unto the LORD.
[15] The rich shall not give more, and the
poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an
offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
[16]
And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel,
and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel
before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
[17]
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[18] Thou shalt also
make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal:
and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and
the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
[19] For Aaron
and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
[20]
When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash
with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to
minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD:
[21]
So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and
it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed
throughout their generations.
[22] Moreover the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
[23] Take thou also unto thee principal
spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon
half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet
calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,
[24] And of cassia
five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil
olive an hin:
[25] And thou shalt make it an oil of holy
ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it
shall be an holy anointing oil.
[26] And thou shalt anoint
the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the
testimony,
[27] And the table and all his vessels, and the
candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense,
[28]
And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver
and his foot.
[29] And thou shalt sanctify them, that they
may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
[30]
And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that
they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
[31] And
thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be
an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
[32]
Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any
other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall
be holy unto you.
[33] Whosoever compoundeth any like it,
or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off
from his people.
[34] And the LORD said unto Moses, Take
unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet
spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like
weight:
[35] And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection
after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and
holy:
[36] And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and
put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation,
where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
[37]
And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to
yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto
thee holy for the LORD.
[38] Whosoever shall make like unto
that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
[1]
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] See, I have
called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe
of Judah:
[3] And I have filled him with the spirit of God,
in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner
of workmanship,
[4] To devise cunning works, to work in
gold, and in silver, and in brass,
[5] And in cutting of
stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner
of workmanship.
[6] And I, behold, I have given with him
Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts
of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make
all that I have commanded thee;
[7] The tabernacle of the
congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that
is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
[8]
And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all
his furniture, and the altar of incense,
[9] And the altar
of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his
foot,
[10] And the cloths of service, and the holy garments
for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in
the priest's office,
[11] And the anointing oil, and sweet
incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded
thee shall they do.
[12] And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
[13] Speak thou also unto the children of Israel,
saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me
and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the
LORD that doth sanctify you.
[14] Ye shall keep the sabbath
therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall
surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that
soul shall be cut off from among his people.
[15] Six days
may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to
the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall
surely be put to death.
[16] Wherefore the children of
Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout
their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
[17] It is a
sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days
the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and
was refreshed.
[18] And he gave unto Moses, when he had
made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of
testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
[1]
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the
mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said
unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this
Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot
not what is become of him.
[2] And Aaron said unto them,
Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives,
of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
[3]
And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their
ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
[4] And he received them
at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had
made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel,
which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
[5] And
when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made
proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
[6]
And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings,
and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to
drink, and rose up to play.
[7] And the LORD said unto
Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out
of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
[8] They
have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they
have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have
sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which
have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
[9] And the
LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a
stiffnecked people:
[10] Now therefore let me alone, that
my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I
will make of thee a great nation.
[11] And Moses besought
the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against
thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt
with great power, and with a mighty hand?
[12] Wherefore
should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them
out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face
of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil
against thy people.
[13] Remember Abraham, Isaac, and
Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and
saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven,
and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed,
and they shall inherit it for ever.
[14] And the LORD
repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
[15]
And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of
the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their
sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
[16]
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing
of God, graven upon the tables.
[17] And when Joshua heard
the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is
a noise of war in the camp.
[18] And he said, It is not the
voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them
that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I
hear.
[19] And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh
unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses'
anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake
them beneath the mount.
[20] And he took the calf which
they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and
strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of
it.
[21] And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people
unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
[22]
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest
the people, that they are set on mischief.
[23] For they
said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this
Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot
not what is become of him.
[24] And I said unto them,
Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me:
then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
[25]
And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made
them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
[26] Then
Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's
side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered
themselves together unto him.
[27] And he said unto them,
Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his
side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and
slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every
man his neighbour.
[28] And the children of Levi did
according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day
about three thousand men.
[29] For Moses had said,
Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his
son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing
this day.
[30] And it came to pass on the morrow, that
Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I
will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for
your sin.
[31] And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said,
Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of
gold.
[32] Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and
if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast
written.
[33] And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath
sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
[34]
Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have
spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee:
nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon
them.
[35] And the LORD plagued the people, because they
made the calf, which Aaron made.
[1]
And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the
people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the
land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto
thy seed will I give it:
[2] And I will send an angel
before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the
Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
[3]
Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the
midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee
in the way.
[4] And when the people heard these evil
tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
[5]
For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye
are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a
moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from
thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
[6] And the
children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the
mount Horeb.
[7] And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched
it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the
Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one
which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the
congregation, which was without the camp.
[8] And it came
to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people
rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after
Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
[9] And it
came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar
descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD
talked with Moses.
[10] And all the people saw the cloudy
pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and
worshipped, every man in his tent door.
[11] And the LORD
spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And
he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of
Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
[12]
And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this
people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me.
Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found
grace in my sight.
[13] Now therefore, I pray thee, if I
have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know
thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this
nation is thy people.
[14] And he said, My presence shall
go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
[15] And he said
unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
[16]
For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found
grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we
be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the
face of the earth.
[17] And the LORD said unto Moses, I
will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found
grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
[18] And he
said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
[19] And he said,
I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the
name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be
gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
[20]
And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see
me, and live.
[21] And the LORD said, Behold, there is a
place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
[22] And it
shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee
in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass
by:
[23] And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see
my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
[1]
And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto
the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in
the first tables, which thou brakest.
[2] And be ready in
the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present
thyself there to me in the top of the mount.
[3] And no man
shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all
the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that
mount.
[4] And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the
first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount
Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two
tables of stone.
[5] And the LORD descended in the cloud,
and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
[6]
And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD
God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness
and truth,
[7] Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving
iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear
the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children,
and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth
generation.
[8] And Moses made haste, and bowed his head
toward the earth, and worshipped.
[9] And he said, If now I
have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go
among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and
our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
[10] And he
said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do
marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any
nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of
the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
[11]
Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out
before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the
Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
[12] Take heed
to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the
land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of
thee:
[13] But ye shall destroy their altars, break their
images, and cut down their groves:
[14] For thou shalt
worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a
jealous God:
[15] Lest thou make a covenant with the
inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods , and
do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his
sacrifice;
[16] And thou take of their daughters unto thy
sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy
sons go a whoring after their gods.
[17] Thou shalt make
thee no molten gods.
[18] The feast of unleavened bread
shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I
commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib
thou camest out from Egypt.
[19] All that openeth the
matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or
sheep, that is male.
[20] But the firstling of an ass thou
shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou
break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And
none shall appear before me empty.
[21] Six days thou shalt
work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in
harvest thou shalt rest.
[22] And thou shalt observe the
feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of
ingathering at the year's end.
[23] Thrice in the year
shall all your men children appear before the Lord GOD, the God of
Israel.
[24] For I will cast out the nations before thee,
and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when
thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the
year.
[25] Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice
with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover
be left unto the morning.
[26] The first of the firstfruits
of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou
shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
[27] And the
LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of
these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
[28]
And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did
neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the
words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
[29] And it
came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two
tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount,
that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked
with him.
[30] And when Aaron and all the children of
Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were
afraid to come nigh him.
[31] And Moses called unto them;
and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him:
and Moses talked with them.
[32] And afterward all the
children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all
that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
[33] And
till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his
face.
[34] But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak
with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out,
and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was
commanded.
[35] And the children of Israel saw the face of
Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail
upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
[1]
And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel
together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath
commanded, that ye should do them.
[2] Six days shall work
be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a
sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be
put to death.
[3] Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your
habitations upon the sabbath day.
[4] And Moses spake unto
all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the
thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
[5] Take ye from
among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart,
let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and
brass,
[6] And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
linen, and goats' hair,
[7] And rams' skins dyed red, and
badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
[8] And oil for the
light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
[9]
And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the
breastplate.
[10] And every wise hearted among you shall
come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded;
[11] The
tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards,
his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
[12] The ark, and
the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the
covering,
[13] The table, and his staves, and all his
vessels, and the shewbread,
[14] The candlestick also for
the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the
light,
[15] And the incense altar, and his staves, and the
anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at
the entering in of the tabernacle,
[16] The altar of burnt
offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the
laver and his foot,
[17] The hangings of the court, his
pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the
court,
[18] The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the
court, and their cords,
[19] The cloths of service, to do
service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest,
and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's
office.
[20] And all the congregation of the children of
Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
[21] And they
came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his
spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD's offering to the work
of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and
for the holy garments.
[22] And they came, both men and
women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and
earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man
that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.
[23]
And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and
fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers'
skins, brought them.
[24] Every one that did offer an
offering of silver and brass brought the LORD's offering: and every
man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service,
brought it.
[25] And all the women that were wise hearted
did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both
of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.
[26]
And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats'
hair.
[27] And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones
to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
[28] And
spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the
sweet incense.
[29] The children of Israel brought a
willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made
them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had
commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
[30] And Moses
said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name
Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
[31]
And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of
workmanship;
[32] And to devise curious works, to work in
gold, and in silver, and in brass,
[33] And in the cutting
of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of
cunning work.
[34] And he hath put in his heart that he may
teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of
Dan.
[35] Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work
all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and
of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine
linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those
that devise cunning work.
[1]
Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in
whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all
manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all
that the LORD had commanded.
[2] And Moses called Bezaleel
and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had
put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto
the work to do it:
[3] And they received of Moses all the
offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of
the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet
unto him free offerings every morning.
[4] And all the wise
men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from
his work which they made;
[5] And they spake unto Moses,
saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the
work, which the LORD commanded to make.
[6] And Moses gave
commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp,
saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering
of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.
[7]
For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it,
and too much.
[8] And every wise hearted man among them
that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine
twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of
cunning work made he them.
[9] The length of one curtain
was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four
cubits: the curtains were all of one size.
[10] And he
coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five
curtains he coupled one unto another.
[11] And he made
loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the
coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of another curtain,
in the coupling of the second.
[12] Fifty loops made he in
one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which
was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to
another.
[13] And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled
the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one
tabernacle.
[14] And he made curtains of goats' hair for
the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
[15]
The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the
breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.
[16]
And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by
themselves.
[17] And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost
edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the
edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.
[18] And he
made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might
be one.
[19] And he made a covering for the tent of rams'
skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.
[20]
And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing
up.
[21] The length of a board was ten cubits, and the
breadth of a board one cubit and a half.
[22] One board had
two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for
all the boards of the tabernacle.
[23] And he made boards
for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:
[24]
And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two
sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under
another board for his two tenons.
[25] And for the other
side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made
twenty boards,
[26] And their forty sockets of silver; two
sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
[27]
And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
[28]
And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two
sides.
[29] And they were coupled beneath, and coupled
together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of
them in both the corners.
[30] And there were eight boards;
and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board
two sockets.
[31] And he made bars of shittim wood; five
for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
[32] And
five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and
five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides
westward.
[33] And he made the middle bar to shoot through
the boards from the one end to the other.
[34] And he
overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be
places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
[35]
And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined
linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work.
[36] And
he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them
with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four
sockets of silver.
[37] And he made an hanging for the
tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined
linen, of needlework;
[38] And the five pillars of it with
their hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and their fillets with
gold: but their five sockets were of brass.
[1]
And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was
the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a
cubit and a half the height of it:
[2] And he overlaid it
with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it
round about.
[3] And he cast for it four rings of gold, to
be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of
it, and two rings upon the other side of it.
[4] And he
made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
[5]
And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear
the ark.
[6] And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two
cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half
the breadth thereof.
[7] And he made two cherubims of gold,
beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy
seat;
[8] One cherub on the end on this side, and another
cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he
the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
[9] And the
cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their
wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to
the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.
[10]
And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length
thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the
height thereof:
[11] And he overlaid it with pure gold, and
made thereunto a crown of gold round about.
[12] Also he
made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a
crown of gold for the border thereof round about.
[13] And
he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four
corners that were in the four feet thereof.
[14] Over
against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear
the table.
[15] And he made the staves of shittim wood, and
overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
[16] And he
made the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his
spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of pure
gold.
[17] And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of
beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his
bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same:
[18]
And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of
the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of
the candlestick out of the other side thereof:
[19] Three
bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a
flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop
and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the
candlestick.
[20] And in the candlestick were four bowls
made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:
[21] And a
knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of
the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the
six branches going out of it.
[22] Their knops and their
branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure
gold.
[23] And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers,
and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.
[24] Of a talent of pure
gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.
[25] And he
made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit,
and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was
the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.
[26]
And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides
thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto it a
crown of gold round about.
[27] And he made two rings of
gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon
the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it
withal.
[28] And he made the staves of shittim wood, and
overlaid them with gold.
[29] And he made the holy
anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the
work of the apothecary.
[1]
And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits
was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was
foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
[2] And he
made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof
were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.
[3] And he
made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the
basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof
made he of brass.
[4] And he made for the altar a brasen
grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of
it.
[5] And he cast four rings for the four ends of the
grate of brass, to be places for the staves.
[6] And he
made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.
[7]
And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to
bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.
[8]
And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the
lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation.
[9] And he made the
court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of
fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:
[10] Their pillars
were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the
pillars and their fillets were of silver.
[11] And for the
north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were
twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars
and their fillets of silver.
[12] And for the west side
were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets
ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
[13]
And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
[14] The
hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their
pillars three, and their sockets three.
[15] And for the
other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were
hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets
three.
[16] All the hangings of the court round about were
of fine twined linen.
[17] And the sockets for the pillars
were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver;
and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars
of the court were filleted with silver.
[18] And the
hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the
length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to
the hangings of the court.
[19] And their pillars were
four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the
overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.
[20]
And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about,
were of brass.
[21] This is the sum of the tabernacle, even
of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the
commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of
Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.
[22] And Bezaleel the son
of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD
commanded Moses.
[23] And with him was Aholiab, son of
Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman,
and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine
linen.
[24] All the gold that was occupied for the work in
all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was
twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after
the shekel of the sanctuary.
[25] And the silver of them
that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a
thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the
shekel of the sanctuary:
[26] A bekah for every man, that
is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one
that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six
hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty
men.
[27] And of the hundred talents of silver were cast
the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred
sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
[28]
And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made
hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted
them.
[29] And the brass of the offering was seventy
talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
[30]
And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it,
and all the vessels of the altar,
[31] And the sockets of
the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the
pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.
[1]
And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of
service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments
for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[2] And he made the
ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined
linen.
[3] And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and
cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in
the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.
[4]
They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two
edges was it coupled together.
[5] And the curious girdle
of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the
work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined
linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[6] And they wrought
onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are
graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
[7] And
he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones
for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
[8] And he made the breastplate of cunning work,
like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine twined linen.
[9] It was foursquare; they made the
breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the
breadth thereof, being doubled.
[10] And they set in it
four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a
carbuncle: this was the first row.
[11] And the second row,
an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
[12] And the third
row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
[13] And the
fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in
ouches of gold in their inclosings.
[14] And the stones
were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve,
according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one
with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
[15] And
they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work
of pure gold.
[16] And they made two ouches of gold, and
two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the
breastplate.
[17] And they put the two wreathen chains of
gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.
[18]
And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two
ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before
it.
[19] And they made two rings of gold, and put them on
the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on
the side of the ephod inward.
[20] And they made two other
golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath,
toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof,
above the curious girdle of the ephod.
[21] And they did
bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a
lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod,
and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the
LORD commanded Moses.
[22] And he made the robe of the
ephod of woven work, all of blue.
[23] And there was an
hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a
band round about the hole, that it should not rend.
[24]
And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
[25] And they made
bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon
the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;
[26]
A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the
hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[27]
And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for
his sons,
[28] And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly
bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,
[29]
And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet,
of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[30] And they
made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a
writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE
LORD.
[31] And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten
it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[32]
Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the
congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to
all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
[33] And
they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his
furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his
sockets,
[34] And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and
the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,
[35]
The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy
seat,
[36] The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the
shewbread,
[37] The pure candlestick, with the lamps
thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels
thereof, and the oil for light,
[38] And the golden altar,
and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the
tabernacle door,
[39] The brasen altar, and his grate of
brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
[40]
The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the
hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the
vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the
congregation,
[41] The cloths of service to do service in
the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his
sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office.
[42]
According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of
Israel made all the work.
[43] And Moses did look upon all
the work, and, behold, they have done it as the LORD had commanded,
even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
[1]
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] On the first day
of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of
the congregation.
[3] And thou shalt put therein the ark of
the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
[4] And
thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are
to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick,
and light the lamps thereof.
[5] And thou shalt set the
altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and
put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
[6] And thou
shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the
tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
[7] And thou
shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the
altar, and shalt put water therein.
[8] And thou shalt set
up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court
gate.
[9] And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint
the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all
the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.
[10] And thou
shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels,
and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.
[11]
And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
[12]
And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
[13]
And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and
sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's
office.
[14] And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them
with coats:
[15] And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst
anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's
office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood
throughout their generations.
[16] Thus did Moses:
according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
[17]
And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the
first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
[18]
And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set
up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his
pillars.
[19] And he spread abroad the tent over the
tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the
LORD commanded Moses.
[20] And he took and put the
testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the
mercy seat above upon the ark:
[21] And he brought the ark
into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered
the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[22]
And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side
of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
[23] And he
set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had
commanded Moses.
[24] And he put the candlestick in the
tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the
tabernacle southward.
[25] And he lighted the lamps before
the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[26] And he put the
golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:
[27]
And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[28]
And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.
[29]
And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle
of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt
offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[30]
And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the
altar, and put water there, to wash withal.
[31] And Moses
and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet
thereat:
[32] When they went into the tent of the
congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as
the LORD commanded Moses.
[33] And he reared up the court
round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of
the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
[34] Then a
cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD
filled the tabernacle.
[35] And Moses was not able to enter
into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon,
and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
[36] And
when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of
Israel went onward in all their journeys:
[37] But if the
cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it
was taken up.
[38] For the cloud of the LORD was upon the
tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all
the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
