\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt (every man and his household came with Jacob):

\VS{2}Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,

\VS{3}Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

\VS{4}Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.

\VS{5}And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: and Joseph was in Egypt already.

\VS{6}And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.

\VS{7}And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.

\VS{9}And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:

\VS{10}come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land.

\VS{11}Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Raamses.

\VS{12}But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.

\VS{13}And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor:

\VS{14}and they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field, all their service, wherein they made them serve with rigor.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:

\VS{16}and he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the birth-stool; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.

\VS{17}But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men-children alive.

\VS{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?

\VS{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 midwife come unto them.

\VS{20}And God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

\VS{21}And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them households.

\VS{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.




\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.

\VS{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.

\VS{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 she put the child therein, and laid it in the flags by the river’s brink.

\VS{4}And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.

\VS{5}And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it.

\VS{6}And she opened it, and saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.

\VS{7}Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?

\VS{8}And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maiden went and called the child’s mother.

\VS{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.

\VS{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 said, Because I drew him out of the water.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.

\VS{12}And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

\VS{13}And he went out the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews were striving together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?

\VS{14}And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? thinkest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely the thing is known.

\VS{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.


\par }{\PP \VS{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.

\VS{17}And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

\VS{18}And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to-day?

\VS{19}And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.

\VS{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.

\VS{21}And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.

\VS{22}And she bare a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.


\par }{\PP \VS{23}And it came to pass in the course of those many days, 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.

\VS{24}And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

\VS{25}And God saw the children of Israel, and God took knowledge
{\ADD{of them}}.




\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to the mountain of God, unto Horeb.

\VS{2}And the angel of Jehovah 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.

\VS{3}And Moses said, I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

\VS{4}And when Jehovah 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.

\VS{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.

\VS{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.

\VS{7}And Jehovah said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people that are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

\VS{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 Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

\VS{9}And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: moreover I have seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

\VS{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.

\VS{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?

\VS{12}And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be the 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.


\par }{\PP \VS{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?

\VS{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.

\VS{15}And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah, the 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.

\VS{16}Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and
{\ADD{seen}} that which is done to you in Egypt:

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

\VS{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, Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us: and now let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God.

\VS{19}And I know that the king of Egypt will not give you leave to go, no, not by a mighty hand.

\VS{20}And I will put forth 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.

\VS{21}And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty.

\VS{22}But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, 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 despoil the Egyptians.




\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice; for they will say, Jehovah hath not appeared unto thee.

\VS{2}And Jehovah said unto him, What is that in thy hand? And he said, A rod.

\VS{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.

\VS{4}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Put forth thy hand, and take it by the tail: (and he put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand);

\VS{5}that they may believe that Jehovah, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.

\VS{6}And Jehovah said furthermore unto him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as
{\ADD{white as}} snow.

\VS{7}And he said, Put thy hand into thy bosom again. (And he put his hand into his bosom again; and when he took it out of his bosom, behold, it was turned again as his
{\ADD{other}} flesh.)

\VS{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.

\VS{9}And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe even 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.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}And Moses said unto Jehovah, Oh, Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

\VS{11}And Jehovah said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh
{\ADD{a man}} dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? is it not I, Jehovah?

\VS{12}Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt speak.

\VS{13}And he said, Oh, Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.

\VS{14}And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is there not Aaron thy brother the Levite? 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.

\VS{15}And thou shalt speak unto him, and put the words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.

\VS{16}And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people; and it shall come to pass, that he shall be to thee a mouth, and thou shalt be to him as God.

\VS{17}And thou shalt take in thy hand this rod, wherewith thou shalt do the signs.


\par }{\PP \VS{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 that are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

\VS{19}And Jehovah said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt; for all the men are dead that sought thy life.

\VS{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.

\VS{21}And Jehovah said unto Moses, When thou goest back into Egypt, see that thou do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in thy hand: but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.

\VS{22}And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, Israel is my son, my first-born:

\VS{23}and I have said unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me; and thou hast refused to let him go: behold, I will slay thy son, thy first-born.

\VS{24}And it came to pass on the way at the lodging-place, that Jehovah met him, and sought to kill him.

\VS{25}Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, Surely a bridegroom of blood art thou to me.

\VS{26}So he let him alone. Then she said, A bridegroom of blood
{\ADD{art thou}}, because of the circumcision.


\par }{\PP \VS{27}And Jehovah said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mountain of God, and kissed him.

\VS{28}And Moses told Aaron all the words of Jehovah wherewith he had sent him, and all the signs wherewith he had charged him.

\VS{29}And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:

\VS{30}and Aaron spake all the words which Jehovah had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.

\VS{31}And the people believed: and when they heard that Jehovah had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.




\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

\VS{2}And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should hearken unto his voice to let Israel go? I know not Jehovah, and moreover I will not let Israel go.

\VS{3}And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice unto Jehovah our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

\VS{4}And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, loose the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.

\VS{5}And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land are now many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.

\VS{6}And the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

\VS{7}Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.

\VS{8}And the number of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish aught thereof: for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.

\VS{9}Let heavier work be laid upon the men, that they may labor therein; and let them not regard lying words.


\par }{\PP \VS{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.

\VS{11}Go yourselves, get you straw where ye can find it: for nought of your work shall be diminished.

\VS{12}So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.

\VS{13}And the taskmasters were urgent saying, Fulfil your works,
{\ADD{your}} daily tasks, as when there was straw.

\VS{14}And the officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task both yesterday and to-day, in making brick as heretofore?


\par }{\PP \VS{15}Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?

\VS{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.

\VS{17}But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice to Jehovah.

\VS{18}Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the number of bricks.

\VS{19}And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, when it was said, Ye shall not diminish aught from your bricks,
{\ADD{your}} daily tasks.

\VS{20}And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:

\VS{21}and they said unto them, Jehovah look upon you, and judge: because ye have made our savor 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.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}And Moses returned unto Jehovah, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou dealt ill with this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?

\VS{23}For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath dealt ill with this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.




\Chap{6}\VerseOne{1}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for by a strong hand shall he let them go, and by a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.


\par }{\PP \VS{2}And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am Jehovah:

\VS{3}and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Jehovah I was not known to them.

\VS{4}And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings, wherein they sojourned.

\VS{5}And moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.

\VS{6}Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am Jehovah, 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 an outstretched arm, and with great judgments:

\VS{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 Jehovah your God, who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

\VS{8}And I will bring you in unto the land which I sware to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for a heritage: I am Jehovah.

\VS{9}And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

\VS{11}Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

\VS{12}And Moses spake before Jehovah, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?

\VS{13}And Jehovah 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.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}These are the heads of their fathers’ houses. The sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these are the families of Reuben.

\VS{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.

\VS{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 a hundred thirty and seven years.

\VS{17}The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, according to their families.

\VS{18}And the sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel; and the years of the life of Kohath were a hundred thirty and three years.

\VS{19}And the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their generations.

\VS{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 a hundred and thirty and seven years.

\VS{21}And the sons of Izhar: Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.

\VS{22}And the sons of Uzziel: Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Sithri.

\VS{23}And Aaron took him Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab, the sister of Nahshon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

\VS{24}And the sons of Korah: Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites.

\VS{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’
{\ADD{houses}} of the Levites according to their families.

\VS{26}These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom Jehovah said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their hosts.

\VS{27}These are they that spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.


\par }{\PP \VS{28}And it came to pass on the day when Jehovah spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt,

\VS{29}that Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, I am Jehovah: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak unto thee.

\VS{30}And Moses said before Jehovah, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?




\Chap{7}\VerseOne{1}And Jehovah said unto Moses, See, I have made thee as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.

\VS{2}Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

\VS{3}And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.

\VS{4}But Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my hosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.

\VS{5}And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.

\VS{6}And Moses and Aaron did so; as Jehovah commanded them, so did they.

\VS{7}And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

\VS{9}When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Show a wonder for you; then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.

\VS{10}And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so, as Jehovah had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.

\VS{11}Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers: and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their enchantments.

\VS{12}For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.

\VS{13}And Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as Jehovah had spoken.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn, he refuseth to let the people go.

\VS{15}Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river’s brink to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy hand.

\VS{16}And thou shalt say unto him, Jehovah, the 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 hast not hearkened.

\VS{17}Thus saith Jehovah, In this thou shalt know that I am Jehovah: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.

\VS{18}And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river.

\VS{19}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah 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.

\VS{21}And the fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.

\VS{22}And the magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as Jehovah had spoken.

\VS{23}And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart.

\VS{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.

\VS{25}And seven days were fulfilled, after that Jehovah had smitten the river.




\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Jehovah spake unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

\VS{2}And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:

\VS{3}and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into thy 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 kneading-troughs:

\VS{4}and the frogs shall come up both upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.

\VS{5}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thy hand with thy rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.

\VS{6}And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

\VS{7}And the magicians did in like manner with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat Jehovah, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice unto Jehovah.

\VS{9}And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Have thou this glory over me: against what time shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, that the frogs be destroyed from thee and thy houses, and remain in the river only?

\VS{10}And he said, Against to-morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word; that thou mayest know that there is none like unto Jehovah our God.

\VS{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.

\VS{12}And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto Jehovah concerning the frogs which he had brought upon Pharaoh.

\VS{13}And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.

\VS{14}And they gathered them together in heaps; and the land stank.

\VS{15}But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them, as Jehovah had spoken.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

\VS{17}And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and there were lice upon man, and upon beast; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

\VS{18}And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: and there were lice upon man, and upon beast.

\VS{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 Jehovah had spoken.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}And Jehovah 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 Jehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

\VS{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.

\VS{22}And I will set apart 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 Jehovah in the midst of the earth.

\VS{23}And I will put a division between my people and thy people: by to-morrow shall this sign be.

\VS{24}And Jehovah did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.


\par }{\PP \VS{25}And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.

\VS{26}And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?

\VS{27}We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God, as he shall command us.

\VS{28}And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: entreat for me.

\VS{29}And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat Jehovah that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to-morrow: only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah.

\VS{30}And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated Jehovah.

\VS{31}And Jehovah 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.

\VS{32}And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.




\par }\Chap{9}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then Jehovah said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

\VS{2}For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,

\VS{3}behold, the hand of Jehovah is upon thy cattle which are in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the herds, and upon the flocks:
{\ADD{there shall be}} a very grievous murrain.

\VS{4}And Jehovah shall make a distinction between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that belongeth to the children of Israel.

\VS{5}And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow Jehovah shall do this thing in the land.

\VS{6}And Jehovah 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.

\VS{7}And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he did not let the people go.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}And Jehovah said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.

\VS{9}And it shall become small dust over 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.

\VS{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.

\VS{11}And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.

\VS{12}And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them, as Jehovah had spoken unto Moses.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

\VS{14}For I will this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.

\VS{15}For now I had put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, and thou hadst been cut off from the earth:

\VS{16}but in very deed for this cause have I made thee to stand, to show thee my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

\VS{17}As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?

\VS{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 day it was founded even until now.

\VS{19}Now therefore send, hasten in thy cattle and all that thou hast in the field;
{\ADD{for}} every man and beast that shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.

\VS{20}He that feared the word of Jehovah among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:

\VS{21}and he that regarded not the word of Jehovah left his servants and his cattle in the field.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch forth thy 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.

\VS{23}And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and Jehovah sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down unto the earth; and Jehovah rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

\VS{24}So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

\VS{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.

\VS{26}Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.


\par }{\PP \VS{27}And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: Jehovah is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

\VS{28}Entreat Jehovah; for there hath been enough of
{\ADD{these}} mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.

\VS{29}And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto Jehovah; the thunders shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is Jehovah’s.

\VS{30}But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear Jehovah God.

\VS{31}And the flax and the barley were smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bloom.

\VS{32}But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten: for they were not grown up.

\VS{33}And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto Jehovah: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.

\VS{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.

\VS{35}And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the children of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses.




\par }\Chap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in the midst of them,

\VS{3}And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.

\VS{4}Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to-morrow will I bring locusts into thy border:

\VS{5}and they shall cover the face of the earth, so that one shall not 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:

\VS{6}and thy houses shall be filled, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither thy fathers nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned, and went out from Pharaoh.

\VS{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 Jehovah their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?

\VS{8}And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve Jehovah your God; but who are they that shall go?

\VS{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 Jehovah.

\VS{10}And he said unto them, So be Jehovah with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.

\VS{11}Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve Jehovah; for that is what ye desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch out thy 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.

\VS{13}And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

\VS{14}And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt; very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.

\VS{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, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

\VS{16}Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you.

\VS{17}Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat Jehovah your God, that he may take away from me this death only.

\VS{18}And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated Jehovah.

\VS{19}And Jehovah turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea; there remained not one locust in all the border of Egypt.

\VS{20}But Jehovah hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.

\VS{22}And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days;

\VS{23}they saw not one another, neither rose any one from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

\VS{24}And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve Jehovah; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.

\VS{25}And Moses said, Thou must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice unto Jehovah our God.

\VS{26}Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not a hoof be left behind: for thereof must we take to serve Jehovah our God; and we know not with what we must serve Jehovah, until we come thither.

\VS{27}But Jehovah hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.

\VS{28}And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in the day thou seest my face thou shalt die.

{\ADD{day}} of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household:

\VS{4}and if the household be too little for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbor next unto his house take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man’s eating ye shall make your count for the lamb.

\VS{5}Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old: ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:

\VS{6}and ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at even.

\VS{7}And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel, upon the houses wherein they shall eat it.

\VS{8}And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

\VS{9}Eat not of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with the inwards thereof.

\VS{10}And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

\VS{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 Jehovah’s passover.

\VS{12}For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will smite all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am Jehovah.

\VS{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 there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

\VS{14}And this day shall be unto you for a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to Jehovah: throughout your generations ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.


\par }{\PP \VS{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.

\VS{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 victuals.

\VS{45}A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof.

\VS{46}In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

\par }{\PP \VS{26}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.

\VS{27}And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and Jehovah overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

\VS{28}And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the host of Pharaoh that went in after them into the sea; there remained not so much as one of them.

\VS{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.

\VS{30}Thus Jehovah saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore.

\VS{31}And Israel saw the great work which Jehovah did upon the Egyptians, and the people feared Jehovah: and they believed in Jehovah, and in his servant Moses.

\VS{24}And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

\VS{25}And he cried unto Jehovah; and Jehovah showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them;

\VS{26}and he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his eyes, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon thee, which I have put upon the Egyptians: for I am Jehovah that healeth thee.


\par }{\PP \VS{27}And they came to Elim, where were twelve springs of water, and threescore and ten palm-trees: and they encamped there by the waters.




\par }\Chap{16}{\PP \VerseOne{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.

\VS{2}And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness:

\VS{3}and the children of Israel said unto them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}Then said Jehovah unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

\VS{5}And it shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.

\VS{6}And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that Jehovah hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;

\VS{7}and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of Jehovah; for that he heareth your murmurings against Jehovah: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?

\VS{8}And Moses said,
{\ADD{This shall be}}, when Jehovah shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that Jehovah heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.

\VS{9}And Moses said unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before Jehovah; for he hath heard your murmurings.

\VS{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 Jehovah appeared in the cloud.

\VS{11}And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

\VS{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 Jehovah your God.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}And it came to pass at even, that the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the camp.

\VS{14}And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, small as the hoar-frost on the ground.

\VS{15}And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is it? for they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them, It is the bread which Jehovah hath given you to eat.

\VS{16}This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, Gather ye of it every man according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, shall ye take it, every man for them that are in his tent.

\VS{17}And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.

\VS{18}And when they measured 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.

\VS{19}And Moses said unto them, Let no man leave of it till the morning.

\VS{20}Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was wroth with them.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

\VS{22}And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

\VS{23}And he said unto them, This is that which Jehovah hath spoken, To-morrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto Jehovah: bake that which ye will bake, and boil that which ye will boil; and all that remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

\VS{24}And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not become foul, neither was there any worm therein.

\VS{25}And Moses said, Eat that to-day; for to-day is a sabbath unto Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.

\VS{26}Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

\VS{27}And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather, and they found none.

\VS{28}And Jehovah said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

\VS{29}See, for that Jehovah 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.

\VS{30}So the people rested on the seventh day.


\par }{\PP \VS{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
{\ADD{made}} with honey.

\VS{32}And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.

\VS{33}And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omerful of manna therein, and lay it up before Jehovah, to be kept throughout your generations.

\VS{34}As Jehovah commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

\VS{35}And the children of Israel did eat the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat the manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

\VS{36}Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.




\par }\Chap{17}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to the commandment of Jehovah, and encamped in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.

\VS{2}Wherefore the people strove with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why strive ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt Jehovah?

\VS{3}And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?

\VS{4}And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they are almost ready to stone me.

\VS{5}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, and go.

\VS{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.

\VS{7}And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the striving of the children of Israel, and because they tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us, or not?


\par }{\PP \VS{8}Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

\VS{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 my hand.

\VS{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.

\VS{11}And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

\VS{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.

\VS{13}And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

\VS{14}and Jehovah said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.

\VS{15}And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi;

\VS{16}and he said, Jehovah hath sworn: Jehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.




\par }\Chap{18}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, how that Jehovah had brought Israel out of Egypt.

\VS{2}And Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her away,

\VS{3}and her two sons; of whom the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land:

\VS{4}and the name of the other was Eliezer; for
{\ADD{he said}}, The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.

\VS{5}And Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness where he was encamped, at the mount of God:

\VS{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.

\VS{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.

\VS{8}And Moses told his father-in-law all that Jehovah had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how Jehovah delivered them.

\VS{9}And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which Jehovah had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.

\VS{10}And Jethro said, Blessed be Jehovah, 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.

\VS{11}Now I know that Jehovah is greater than all gods; yea, in the thing wherein they dealt proudly against them.

\VS{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.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood about Moses from the morning unto the evening.

\VS{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 about thee from morning unto even?

\VS{15}And Moses said unto his father-in-law, Because the people come unto me to inquire of God:

\VS{16}when they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.

\VS{17}And Moses’ father-in-law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.

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

\VS{19}Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God be with thee: be thou for the people to God-ward, and bring thou the causes unto God:

\VS{20}and thou shalt teach them the statutes and the laws, and shalt show them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.

\VS{21}Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

\VS{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 themselves: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear
{\ADD{the burden}} with thee.

\VS{23}If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people also shall go to their place in peace.

\VS{24}So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.

\VS{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.

\VS{26}And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

\VS{27}And Moses let his father-in-law depart; and he went his way into his own land.

\VS{3}And Moses went up unto God, and Jehovah called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:

\VS{4}Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.

\VS{5}Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be mine own possession from among all peoples: for all the earth is mine:

\VS{9}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and may also believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto Jehovah.

\VS{10}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments,

\VS{11}and be ready against the third day; for the third day Jehovah will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

\VS{18}And mount Sinai, the whole of it, smoked, because Jehovah descended upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

\VS{19}And when the voice of the trumpet waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.

\VS{20}And Jehovah came down upon mount Sinai, to the top of the mount: and Jehovah called Moses to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

\VS{21}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto Jehovah to gaze, and many of them perish.

\VS{22}And let the priests also, that come near to Jehovah, sanctify themselves, lest Jehovah break forth upon them.

\VS{23}And Moses said unto Jehovah, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou didst charge us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.

\VS{24}And Jehovah said unto him, Go, 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 Jehovah, lest he break forth upon them.

\VS{2}And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.

\VS{3}And all the people brake off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.

\VS{4}And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf: and they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

\VS{5}And when Aaron saw
{\ADD{this}}, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To-morrow shall be a feast to Jehovah.

\VS{11}And Moses besought Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, that thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?

\VS{12}Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, saying, For evil did he bring them forth, 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.

\VS{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.

\VS{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.

\VS{20}And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

\VS{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 know not what is become of him.

{\ADD{let him come}} unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.

\VS{27}And he said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.

\VS{28}And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.

\VS{4}And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.

\VS{5}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people; if I go up into the midst of thee for one moment, I shall consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.

\VS{6}And Jehovah passed by before him, and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth;

\VS{7}keeping lovingkindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; and that will by no means clear
{\ADD{the guilty}}, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.

\VS{8}And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

\VS{9}And he said, If now I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, let the Lord, I pray thee, go in the midst of us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been wrought in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of Jehovah; for it is a terrible thing that I do with thee.

\VS{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.

\VS{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:

\VS{13}but ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and ye shall cut down their Asherim;

\VS{14}(for thou shalt worship no other god: for Jehovah, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God);

\VS{15}lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot after their gods, and sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee and thou eat of his sacrifice;

\VS{16}and thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters play the harlot after their gods, and make thy sons play the harlot after their gods.

\VS{17}Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib; for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.

\VS{19}All that openeth the womb is mine; and all thy cattle that is male, the firstlings of cow and sheep.

\VS{20}And the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck. All the first-born of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in plowing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

\VS{22}And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks,
{\ADD{even}} of the first-fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.

\VS{23}Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord Jehovah, the God of Israel.

\VS{24}For I will cast out nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou goest up to appear before Jehovah thy God three times in the year.


\par }{\PP \VS{25}Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.

\VS{26}The first of the first-fruits of thy ground thou shalt bring unto the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.


\par }{\PP \VS{27}And Jehovah said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.

\VS{28}And he was there with Jehovah 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.


\par }{\PP \VS{29}And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of the testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.

\VS{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.

\VS{31}And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses spake to them.

\VS{32}And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that Jehovah had spoken with him in mount Sinai.

\VS{33}And when Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.

\VS{34}But when Moses went in before Jehovah to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.

\VS{35}And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the veil upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

\VS{32}and to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

\VS{33}and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of skilful workmanship.

\VS{34}And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

\VS{4}And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they wrought;

\VS{5}and they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Jehovah commanded to make.

\VS{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.

\VS{7}For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}And all the wise-hearted men among them that wrought the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skilful workman,

\VS{40}the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court, the cords thereof, and the pins thereof, and all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;

\VS{41}the finely wrought garments for ministering in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office.

\VS{42}According to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work.

\VS{43}And Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had done it; as Jehovah had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.




\par }\Chap{40}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

\VS{2}On the first day of the first month shalt thou rear up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

\VS{3}And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and thou shalt screen the ark with the veil.

\VS{4}And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.

\VS{5}And thou shalt set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

\VS{6}And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

\VS{7}And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water therein.

\VS{8}And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.

\VS{9}And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the furniture thereof: and it shall be holy.

\VS{10}And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and the altar shall be most holy.

\VS{11}And thou shalt anoint the laver and its base, and sanctify it.

\VS{12}And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tent of meeting, and shalt wash them with water.

\VS{13}And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.

\VS{14}And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them;

\VS{15}and thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office: and their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

\VS{16}Thus did Moses: according to all that Jehovah commanded him, so did he.


\par }{\PP \VS{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.

\VS{18}And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up its pillars.

\VS{19}And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

\VS{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:

\VS{21}and he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

\VS{22}And he put the table in the tent of meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the veil.

\VS{23}And he set the bread in order upon it before Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

\VS{24}And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

\VS{25}And he lighted the lamps before Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

\VS{26}And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil:

\VS{27}and he burnt thereon incense of sweet spices; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

\VS{28}And he put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

\VS{29}And he set the altar of burnt-offering at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt-offering and the meal-offering; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

\VS{30}And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water therein, wherewith to wash.

\VS{31}And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat;

\VS{32}when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

\VS{33}And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.


\par }{\PP \VS{34}Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.

\VS{35}And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.

\VS{36}And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys:

\VS{37}but if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

\VS{38}For the cloud of Jehovah was upon the tabernacle by day, and there was fire therein by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
