{\MT The Second Book of Moses, called Exodus


\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now these are the names of the children of Israel, that came into Egypt with Jacob, every man and his household they came.

\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; together with Joseph who was already in Egypt.

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

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

\VS{8}Now there rose up 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 numerous and mightier than we.

\VS{10}Come, let us deal wisely with them lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there happen to be a war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and depart out of the land.

\VS{11}And they set over taskmasters, to afflict them with their burdensome labors; and they built treasure cities, for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses.

\VS{12}But in the measure that they afflicted them, so they multiplied and so they spread out; and they felt abhorrence because of the children of Israel.

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

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

\VS{15}And the king of Egypt said 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, ye shall look upon the birth; if it be a son, then shall ye kill him; but if it be a daughter, then may she live.

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

\VS{18}And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and he 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; ere the midwife cometh in unto them they are delivered.

\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 houses.

\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 a daughter of Levi.

\VS{2}And the woman conceived, and bore a son; and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.

\VS{3}And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him a box of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it amidst the flags by the brink of the river.

\VS{4}And his sister placed herself afar off, to ascertain what would be done to him.

\VS{5}And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the side of the river; and when she saw the box among the flags, she sent her maid and fetched it.

\VS{6}And she opened it, and saw the child, and, behold, it was a weeping boy; 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 for thee the child?

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

\VS{9}And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take away this child, and nurse him for me, and I will give thee thy wages; and the woman took the child, and nursed him.

\VS{10}And the child grew up, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became to her as a son; and she called his name Moses; and she said, Because out of the water have I drawn him.

\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 burdensome labors; and he saw an Egyptian man smiting a Hebrew man, one of his brethren.

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

\VS{13}And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were striving together; and he said unto him that was in the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?

\VS{14}And he said, Who made thee a chief and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou hast killed the Egyptian! And Moses feared, and said, Surely the thing is become known.

\VS{15}And Pharaoh heard this thing, and he sought to slay Moses; but Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and tarried in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.

\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 arose and helped them, and watered their flock.

\VS{18}And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, Wherefore are ye come home so soon today?

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

\VS{20}And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? wherefore have ye left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.

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

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

\VS{23}And it came to pass in this long time, that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried; and their complaint 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 looked upon the children of Israel, and God took cognizance of them.



\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Moses was keeping the flock of Jithro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock far away into the desert, and came to the mountain of God, to Choreb.

\VS{2}And an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a thorn-bush; and he looked, and, behold, the thorn-bush was burning with fire, but the thorn-bush was not consumed.

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

\VS{4}And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see God called unto him out of the midst of the thorn-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}And 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 up to God.

\VS{7}And the Lord said, I have truly seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard its cry by reason of its taskmasters; yea, I know its sorrows;

\VS{8}And I am come down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring it up out of that land unto a land, good and large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Emorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

\VS{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.

\VS{10}And now then go, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, and thou shalt 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, Because I will be with thee; and this shall be unto thee the token, that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.

\VS{13}And Moses said unto God, Behold, if I come unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they then say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

\VS{14}And God said unto Moses, I will be that I will be: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I will be hath sent me unto you.

\VS{15}And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Everlasting One, 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 assemble the elders of Israel, and say unto them, The Everlasting One, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appeared unto me, saying, I have surely taken cognizance of you and of 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 Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Emorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.

\VS{18}And they will 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 Everlasting One, the God of the Hebrews hath met with us; and now let us go, we beseech thee, a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.

\VS{19}But I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, unless it happen through a mighty hand.

\VS{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.

\VS{21}And I will give this people favor in the eyes 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, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments; and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall empty out Egypt.



\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, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee.

\VS{2}And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thy hand? and he said, A staff.

\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 the Lord said unto Moses, Put forth thy hand, and grasp it by the tail; and he put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a staff in his hand.

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

\VS{6}And the Lord said farthermore unto him, Do put thy hand into thy bosom: and he put his hand into his bosom; and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, white as snow.

\VS{7}And he said, Put thy hand again into thy bosom: and he put his hand again into his bosom; and when he pulled it out of his bosom, behold, it was turned again as his 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 also these two signs, and will not 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 shalt take out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.

\VS{10}And Moses said unto the Lord, Pardon, O Lord, I am not a man of words, neither yesterday, nor the day before, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant; for I am heavy of speech, and heavy of tongue.

\VS{11}And the Lord said unto him, Who hath given a mouth to man? or who maketh him dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? is it not I the Lord?

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

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

\VS{14}And the anger of the Lord 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 I will teach you what ye shall do.

\VS{16}And he shall speak for thee unto the people; and he shall be, yea he shall be to thee as a mouth, and thou shalt be to him as a God.

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

\VS{18}And Moses went and returned to Jether 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 Jithro said to Moses, Go in peace.

\VS{19}And the Lord said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt; for all the men are dead who 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 staff of God in his hand.

\VS{21}And the Lord said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, regard well all the wonders which I have put in thy hand, and do them before Pharaoh; but I will harden his heart, and he will not let the people go.

\VS{22}And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus hath said the Lord, My son, my first-born, is Israel.

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

\VS{24}And as he was on the journey in the inn, the Lord met him, and sought to kill him.

\VS{25}Then took Zipporah a sharp instrument, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody relative art thou to me.

\VS{26}And then he withdrew from him; when she said, A bloody relative, but only in respect of the circumcision.

\VS{27}And the Lord said to Aaron, Go to meet Moses, into the wilderness; and he went and met him by the mount of God, and kissed him.

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

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

\VS{30}And Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had spoken unto Moses; and he did the signs before the eyes of the people.

\VS{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.



\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And after that Moses and Aaron went in, and said unto Pharaoh, Thus hath said the Everlasting One, 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 the Everlasting, whose voice I am to obey, to let Israel go? I know not the Everlasting, nor will I let Israel go.

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

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

\VS{5}And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye disturb them in the pursuit of their labors.

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

\VS{7}Ye shall no more give the people straw to make the bricks, as yesterday and the day before; they themselves shall go and gather themselves straw.

\VS{8}And the number of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall impose 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 the work be made to lie heavily upon the men, that they may have enough to do therein; and that they may not pay attention to false words.

\VS{10}And the taskmasters of the people and its officers went out, and they said to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you any straw.

\VS{11}Go ye, get yourselves straw from wherever ye can find it; yet not the least shall be taken off from your work.

\VS{12}And the people scattered themselves abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.

\VS{13}And the taskmasters were urgent, saying, Fulfill your works, every day its due portion, just as when there was straw.

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

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

\VS{16}Straw is not given unto thy servants, and, Make bricks, say they to us: and, behold, thy servants are beaten, and thy people are treated as sinners.

\VS{17}But he said, Idle are ye, idle; therefore say ye, Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.

\VS{18}And now go, work, and straw shall not be given you; yet the required number of bricks shall ye deliver.

\VS{19}And the officers of the children of Israel saw themselves in the evil necessity to say, Ye shall not diminish aught from your bricks, every day of its task.

\VS{20}And they met Moses and Aaron, standing in their way, as they came forth from Pharaoh.

\VS{21}And they said unto them, May the Lord look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savor to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.

\VS{22}And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou let so much evil come upon this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?

\VS{23}For, since I came unto Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done more evil to this people; but thou hast in nowise delivered thy people.



\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then said the Lord unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand shall he send them away, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.

\VS{2}And God spoke unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord:

\VS{3}And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God, the Almighty, but by my name The Eternal was I not made known to them.

\VS{4}And as I did also establish my covenant with them, to give unto them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they sojourned:

\VS{5}So have I also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians compel to labor; and I have remembered my covenant.

\VS{6}Therefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Eternal, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will release you from 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 for a God; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

\VS{8}And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning which I did lift up my hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for a heritage: I am the Lord.

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

\VS{10}And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

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

\VS{12}And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me: how then shall Pharaoh hear me, whereas I am of uncircumcised lips?

\VS{13}And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, to bring forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

\VS{14}These are the heads of their family divisions: The sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel: Chanoch, and Pallu, Chezron, and Carmi; these are the families of Reuben.

\VS{15}And the sons of Simeon: Yemuel, and Yamin, and Ohad, and Yachin, and Zochar, and Shaul the son of the 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 Kehath, and Merari; and the years of the life of Levi were one hundred and thirty and seven years.

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

\VS{18}And the sons of Kehath: Amram, and Yizhar, and Chebron, and 'Uzziel; and the years of the life of Kehath were one hundred and thirty and three years.

\VS{19}And the sons of Merari: Machli and Mushi; these are the families of Levi according to their generations.

\VS{20}And Amram took himself Yochebed his aunt for wife; and she bore unto him Aaron and Moses; and the years of the life of Amram were one hundred and thirty and seven years.

\VS{21}And the sons of Yizhar: Korach, and Nepheg, and Zichri.

\VS{22}And the sons of 'Uzziah Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Sithri,

\VS{23}And Aaron took himself Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nachshon, for wife; and she bore unto him Nadab, and Abihu, Elazar, and Ithamar.

\VS{24}And the sons of Korach: Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiassaph; these are the families of the Korchites.

\VS{25}And Elazar the son of Aaron took himself one of the daughters of Putiel for wife; and she bore unto him Phinehas: these are the heads of the divisions of the Levites according to their families.

\VS{26}These are Aaron and Moses, to whom the Lord said, Bring forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their armies.

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

\VS{28}And it came to pass on the day when the Lord spoke unto Moses in the land of Egypt.

\VS{29}Then spoke the Lord unto Moses, saying, I am the Lord; speak thou unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt all that I speak unto thee.

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



\par }\Chap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.

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

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

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

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

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

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

\VS{8}And the Lord said unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

\VS{9}If Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Show a miracle for yourselves: then shalt thou say unto Aaron, Take thy staff and cast it down before Pharaoh; it shall become a serpent.

\VS{10}And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so, as the Lord had commanded; and Aaron cast down his staff 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 with their secret arts in like manner.

\VS{12}And they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents; but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves.

\VS{13}But the heart of Pharaoh was hard, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken.

\VS{14}And the Lord said unto Moses, The heart of Pharaoh is obdurate, 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 place thyself opposite to him by the brink of the river; and the staff which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy hand.

\VS{16}And thou shalt say unto him, The Eternal, 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, thou wouldst not hear, up to this time.

\VS{17}Thus hath said the Lord, By this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold, I will smite with the staff 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 is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loath to drink water from the river.

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

\VS{20}And Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord had commanded; and he lifted up [his hand] with the staff, and smote the waters that were in the river, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.

\VS{21}And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, 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 so with their secret arts: and the heart of Pharaoh remained hardened, and he did not hearken unto them; as the Lord had spoken.

\VS{23}And Pharaoh turned away and went into his house, and he did not set his heart to this thing also.

\VS{24}And all the Egyptians dug in the neighborhood of the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.

\VS{25}And full seven days elapsed, after that the Lord had smitten the river.



\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}(7:26) And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

\VS{2}(7:27) And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:

\VS{3}(7:28) And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, and they shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy sleeping-chamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and among thy people, and into thy ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs;

\VS{4}(7:29) And upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants, shall the frogs come up.

\VS{5}(8:1) And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thy hand with thy staff over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause the frogs to come up over the land of Egypt.

\VS{6}(8:2) And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

\VS{7}(8:3) And the magicians did so with their secret arts, and brought up the frogs over the land of Egypt.

\VS{8}(8:4) Then did Pharaoh call for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat the Lord, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice unto the Lord.

\VS{9}(8:5) And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Arrogate thyself glory over me: for what time shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and from thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?

\VS{10}(8:6) And he said, For tomorrow; and he said, Be it according to thy word; in order that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the Lord our God.

\VS{11}(8:7) And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; only in the river shall they remain.

\VS{12}(8:8) And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried unto the Lord on account of the frogs which he had inflicted on Pharaoh.

\VS{13}(8:9) And the Lord 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}(8:10) And they gathered them together in many heaps; and the land stank.

\VS{15}(8:11) But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken.

\VS{16}(8:12) And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy staff, and smite the dust of the earth, and it shall become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

\VS{17}(8:13) And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and smote the dust of the earth, and the lice were thus on man, and on beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

\VS{18}(8:14) And the magicians did so with their secret arts to bring forth the lice, but they could not; so were the lice upon man and upon beast.

\VS{19}(8:15) Then said the magicians unto Pharaoh, This is a finger of God; but Pharaoh's heart remained hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken.

\VS{20}(8:16) And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and place thyself before Pharaoh; lo, he goeth forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

\VS{21}(8:17) For if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send against thee, and against thy servants, and against thy people, and into thy houses various wild beasts: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of the wild beasts, and also the ground whereon they dwell.

\VS{22}(8:18) And I will distinguish on that day the land of Goshen, in which my people abideth, so that no wild beasts shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.

\VS{23}(8:19) And I will put a distinction between my people and thy people; tomorrow shall this sign be.

\VS{24}(8:20) And the Lord did so; and there came a grievous multitude of beasts into the house of Pharaoh, and into the house of his servants; and in all the land of Egypt, the land was laid waste by reason of the wild beasts.

\VS{25}(8:21) And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.

\VS{26}(8:22) And Moses said, It is not proper to do so; for the abomination of the Egyptians must we sacrifice to the Eternal our God: lo, if we should sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, would they not stone us?

\VS{27}(8:23) A three days' journey will we go into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as he may say unto us.

\VS{28}(8:24) And Pharaoh said, I will surely let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the Eternal your God in the wilderness; only do not go very far away: entreat for me.

\VS{29}(8:25) And Moses said, Behold, I am going out from thee, and I will entreat the Lord, and the wild beasts shall depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more, so as not to let the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.

\VS{30}(8:26) And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the Lord.

\VS{31}(8:27) And the Lord did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the wild beasts from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.

\VS{32}(8:28) But Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, and he did not let the people go.



\par }\Chap{9}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and speak to him, Thus hath said the Eternal, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

\VS{2}For if thou refusest to let them go, and still holdest on to them,

\VS{3}Behold, the hand of the Lord will be sent against thy cattle which is in the field, against the horses, against the asses, against the camels, against the oxen, and against the sheep;—a very grievous pestilence.

\VS{4}And the Lord will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and not one head shall die of all that belongeth to the children of Israel.

\VS{5}And the Lord appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow will the Lord do this thing in the land.

\VS{6}And the Lord did this thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel there died not one.

\VS{7}And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there had not died of the cattle of the Israelites even one; but the heart of Pharaoh remained hardened, and he did not let the people go.

\VS{8}And the Lord said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take unto yourselves your hands full of soot of the furnace, and let Moses throw it heavenward before the eyes of Pharaoh.

\VS{9}And it shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become upon man and beast an inflammation, producing boils, throughout all the land of Egypt.

\VS{10}And they took the soot of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses threw it up heavenward; and it became an inflammation, producing boils, upon man, and upon beast.

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

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

\VS{13}And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and place thyself before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus hath said the Eternal, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

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

\VS{15}For even now I might have stretched out my hand, and I might have smitten thee and thy people with the pestilence; and thou wouldst have been cut off from the earth;

\VS{16}But for this cause have I allowed thee to remain, in order to show thee my power; and in order that they may proclaim my name throughout all the earth.

\VS{17}If thou dost yet wantonly oppress my people, so as not to let them go:

\VS{18}Behold, then will I let rain, about this time tomorrow, a very grievous hail, the like of which hath not been in Egypt since the day of its foundation even until now.

\VS{19}And now send, and bring under shelter thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; [for] every man and beast that shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought into the house, upon them shall the hail come down, and they shall die.

\VS{20}He that feared the word of the Lord 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 the Lord left his servants and his cattle in the field.

\VS{22}And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand toward heaven, and there shall be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, in the land of Egypt.

\VS{23}And Moses stretched forth his staff toward heaven; and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran down to the ground; and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

\VS{24}And there was hail, and fire was flaming up amidst the hail, very grievous, the like of which had not been in all the land of Egypt, since it had become 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 every herb of the field did the hail smite, and every tree of the field did it break.

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

\VS{27}And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and he said unto them, I have sinned this time; the Eternal is the righteous, and I and my people are the wicked.

\VS{28}Entreat the Lord that there may be no more of the thunders of God, and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall no longer stay here.

\VS{29}And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands unto the Lord: the thunders shall cease, and the hail shall not be any more; in order that thou mayest know how that to the Lord belongeth the earth.

\VS{30}But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye are not yet afraid before the Lord God.

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

\VS{32}But the wheat and the millet were not smitten; for they are late-ripening.

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

\VS{34}And when Pharaoh saw that the rain, and the hail, and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet farther, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.

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

\VS{2}And in order that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, the wonders which I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have shown among them; and ye shall know now that I am the Lord.

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

\VS{4}For, if thou refusest to let my people go, behold, I will bring tomorrow locusts into thy boundary.

\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 escaped, which hath been left unto you from the hail, and they shall eat off every tree which groweth for you out of the field:

\VS{6}And thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians shall be full of them; such as neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day of their being upon the earth, until this day; and he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.

\VS{7}And the servants of Pharaoh said unto him, How long shall this man be unto us for a snare? let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?

\VS{8}And Moses was brought back with Aaron unto Pharaoh; and he said unto them, Go ye, serve the Lord your God; who all are they that shall go?

\VS{9}And Moses said, With our young and with our old will we go; with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we are to hold a feast unto the Lord.

\VS{10}And he said unto them, So be the Lord with you, as I will let you go, together with your little ones: look, surely your intentions are evil.

\VS{11}Not so; go now ye men, and serve the Lord, for this you desire: and they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.

\VS{12}And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, and they shall come up over the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the earth, all that the hail hath left.

\VS{13}And Moses stretched forth his staff over the land of Egypt, and the Lord urged an east wind over the land all that day, and all the night; when it was morning, the east wind bore along the locusts.

\VS{14}And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the boundaries of Egypt; in very large masses; before them there were no such locusts as they, and after them there will not be any such.

\VS{15}And they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the earth was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there was not left any green thing on the trees, or on the herbs of the field, throughout all the land of Egypt.

\VS{16}Then made Pharaoh haste to call for Moses and Aaron; and he said, I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.

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

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

\VS{19}And the Lord turned a very strong west wind, which bore away the locusts, and cast them into the Red Sea; there was not left one locust in all the boundary of Egypt.

\VS{20}But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he did not let the children of Israel go.

\VS{21}And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward heaven, and there shall be darkness over the land of Egypt, and it shall be a darkness of the night.

\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 did they rise, any one from his place, for three days; but for all the children of Israel there was light in their dwellings.

\VS{24}And Pharaoh called for Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the Lord; only your flocks and your herds shall remain behind: also your little ones may go with you.

\VS{25}And Moses said, Even thou also must give into our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice [them] unto the Eternal, our God.

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

\VS{27}But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.

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

\VS{29}And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will not see thy face again any more.

\VS{4}And if the household be too small for a lamb, then shall he take it with his neighbor who is next unto his house, according to the number of the souls; every man according to what he eateth shall ye make a count for the lamb.

\VS{5}A lamb without blemish, a male of the first year shall ye have; from the sheep, or from the goats may ye take it.

\VS{6}And ye shall have it in keeping until the fourteenth day of the same month; and then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it toward evening.

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

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

\VS{9}You shall not eat of it raw, nor in any wise sodden with water; but roasted by the fire; its head with its legs, and with its entrails.

\VS{10}And ye shall not let any thing of it remain until morning; and that which remaineth of it until 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 passover unto the Lord.

\VS{12}And I will pass through the land of Egypt in this night, and I will smite every first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt will I execute judgments: I am the Lord.

\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 be no plague against you to destroy, when I smite [others] in the land of Egypt.

\VS{14}And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall celebrate it as a feast unto the Lord; throughout your generations, as an ordinance for ever shall ye celebrate it.

\VS{15}Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; but on the first day ye shall have put away leaven out of your houses; for whosoever eateth leavened bread, that soul shall be cut off from Israel, from the first day until the seventh day.

\VS{16}And on the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done on them, save what is eaten by every man, that only may be prepared by you.

\VS{17}And ye shall observe the unleavened bread; for on this selfsame day have I brought forth your armies out of the land of Egypt; therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations as an ordinance for ever.

\VS{18}In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, shall ye eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at evening.

\VS{19}Seven days no leaven shall be 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 one born in the land.

\VS{20}Nothing that is leavened shall ye eat; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.

\VS{29}And it came to pass at midnight, that the Lord smote every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh that was to sit on his throne unto the first-born of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the first-born of cattle.

\VS{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 some one dead.

\VS{32}Also your flocks and your herds take, as ye have spoken, and be gone; and bless me also.

\VS{33}And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to make haste to send them away out of the land; for they said, We are all dying.

\VS{37}And the children of Israel journeyed from Ra'meses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, beside children.

\VS{38}And a mixed multitude also went up with them; and flocks, and herds, a very large amount of cattle.

\VS{39}And they baked of the dough, which they had brought forth out of Egypt, unleavened cakes, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared any provisions for themselves.

\VS{40}Now the time of the residence of the children of Israel, which they dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

\VS{44}But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.

\VS{45}A resident foreigner 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; and no bone shall ye break in it.

\VS{18}And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have got myself honor on Pharaoh, on his chariots, and on his horsemen.

\VS{19}And the angel of God, that went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them;

\VS{20}And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness [to the first], but it gave light by night [to these]: and the one came not near unto the other all the night.

\VS{21}And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord drove back the sea with a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

\VS{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.

\VS{23}And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen, to the midst of the sea.

\VS{24}And it came to pass in the morning watch, that the Lord looked unto the camp of the Egyptians with the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and brought into confusion the camp of the Egyptians;

\VS{25}And he took off the wheels of their chariots, and caused them to move onward with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.

\VS{26}And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, and the waters shall return over the Egyptians, over their chariots, and over their horsemen.

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

\VS{28}And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen with all the host of Pharaoh that came after them into the sea: there remained of them not even one.

\VS{29}But the children of Israel walked upon dry ground in the midst of the sea; and the waters were unto them a wall on their right hand, and on their left.

\VS{30}Thus the Lord saved Israel on that day out of the land of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the shore of the sea.

\VS{31}And Israel saw that great power which the Lord had shown on the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and then believed in the Lord, and in Moses his servant.

\VS{3}The Eternal is the Lord of war; the Eternal is his name.

\VS{4}The chariots of Pharaoh and his host hath he hurled into the sea; and the chosen of his captains are sunk in the Red Sea.

\VS{5}The depths have covered them; they went down to the bottom as a stone.

\VS{6}Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power; thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

\VS{7}And in the greatness of thy excellency hast thou overthrown those that rose up against thee; thou didst send forth thy wrath, it consumed them as stubble.

\VS{8}And with the breath of thy nostrils the waters were heaped up together, the floods stood upright as a wall; congealed were the depths in the heart of the sea.

\VS{9}The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my desire shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

\VS{10}Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sunk as lead in mighty waters.

\VS{11}Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the mighty? who is like unto thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

\VS{17}Thou wilt bring them, and plant them on the mountain of thy inheritance, the place, O Lord, which thou hast wrought for thy residence, the sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

\VS{18}The Lord will reign for ever and ever.

\VS{19}For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again upon them the waters of the sea; but the children of Israel went on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

\VS{20}Then took Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

\VS{21}And Miriam began her song to them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

\VS{22}And Moses caused Israel to depart 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.

\VS{23}And they came to Marah; but they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore they called its name Marah.

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

\VS{25}And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord showed him a tree, which he cast 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 the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his eyes, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and wilt keep all his statutes: I will put none of those diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I the Lord am thy physician.

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

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

\VS{4}Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will let rain for you bread from heaven; and the people shall go out and gather a certain portion every day, in order that I may prove it, whether it will walk in my law, or not.

\VS{5}And it shall come to pass, on the sixth day, when they prepare what they shall have brought in, that it shall be twice as much as they shall gather daily.

\VS{6}And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At evening, then shall ye know that it is the Lord who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:

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

\VS{8}And Moses said, When the Lord giveth you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to the full; since the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him:—what are we then? not against us are your murmurings, but against the Lord.

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

\VS{10}And it came to pass, as Aaron was speaking unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they turned round toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.

\VS{11}And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

\VS{12}I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, Toward evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Eternal your God.

\VS{13}And it came to pass, that at evening the quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew round about the camp.

\VS{14}And when the layer of dew was gone up, behold, there was upon the face of the wilderness something fine in grains, small as the hoar-frost, on the ground.

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

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

\VS{17}And the children of Israel did so; and they gathered, some much, some little.

\VS{18}And when they measured it with an omer, he that had gathered much had nothing over, and he that had gathered little had no lack: every man according to his eating, had they gathered.

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

\VS{20}But they hearkened not unto Moses; but some men left of it until morning, and it bred worms, and stank; and Moses was wroth with them.

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

\VS{22}And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twofold bread, two omers for every one; all the rulers of the congregation came and told it to Moses.

\VS{23}And he said unto them. This is what the Lord hath spoken, A rest, a holy rest is unto the Lord tomorrow: that which ye will bake bake today, and what ye will seethe seethe today; and all the remaining lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

\VS{24}And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses had bidden; and it did not stink, nor was there any worm therein.

\VS{25}And Moses said, Eat it today; for a sabbath is this day unto the Lord: today ye will not find it in the field.

\VS{26}Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day, the sabbath, on 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; but they found nothing.

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

\VS{29}See, that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day bread for two days; remain 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.

\VS{31}And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna, [[Man]]; and it was like coriander-seed, white, and its taste was like wafers made with honey.

\VS{32}And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, One omer-full of it is to be kept for your generations; in order that they may see the bread which I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.

\VS{33}And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a flask, and put therein an omer-full of manna, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.

\VS{34}As the Lord had commanded Moses, so did Aaron lay it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

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

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

\VS{4}And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people? but little is wanting and they will stone me.

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

\VS{6}Behold, I will be standing before thee there upon the rock at Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come out from it water, and the people shall drink; and Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Israel.

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

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

\VS{3}And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them near in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams.

\VS{4}And Aaron and his sons shalt thou bring near unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water.

\VS{5}And thou shalt take the garments, and clothe Aaron with the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the girdle of the ephod:

\VS{6}And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and thou shalt fasten the holy crown upon the mitre.

\VS{7}Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.

\VS{8}And his sons shalt thou bring near, and clothe them with coats.

\VS{9}And thou shalt gird them with the girdles, Aaron and his sons, and bind the bonnets on them; and the priest's office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute: and thus shalt thou consecrate Aaron and his sons.

\VS{10}And thou shalt cause the bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock.

\VS{11}And thou shalt kill the bullock before the Lord, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

\VS{19}And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram.

\VS{20}Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, 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.

\VS{28}That they shall belong to Aaron and to his sons, as a statute forever, from the children of Israel; for it is a heave-offering; and a heave-offering it shall remain from the children of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, as their heave-offering unto the Lord.

\VS{42}A continual burnt-offering throughout your generations [shall this be] at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord; where I will meet with you, to speak unto thee there.

\VS{43}And I will meet there with the children of Israel, and it shall be sanctified by my glory.

\VS{44}And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: and both Aaron and his sons will I sanctify, that they may he priests unto me.

\VS{4}To devise works of art, to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,

\par }\Chap{32}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people assembled themselves together around Aaron, and they said unto him, Up, make us gods, that shall go before us; for of this man Moses, who hath brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.

\VS{2}And Aaron said unto them, Take out the golden earrings, 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 took out the golden earrings, which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.

\VS{4}And he took them from their hand, and fashioned it in a mould, and he made of it a molten calf; and they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

\VS{5}And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron called out, and said, A feast unto the Lord is tomorrow.

\VS{6}And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt-offerings, and brought near peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

\VS{7}And the Lord spoke unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, hath become corrupt:

\VS{8}They have turned aside quickly from the way which I have commanded them; they have made themselves a molten calf: and they have bowed themselves to it, and have sacrificed unto it, and have said, These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

\VS{9}And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people.

\VS{10}And now let me alone, and my wrath shall wax hot against them, and I will make an end of them; and I will make of thee a great nation.

\VS{11}Thereupon Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Why, O Lord, shall 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 say thus, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to destroy them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent thee of the evil decreed against thy people.

\VS{13}Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou didst swear by thy own self, and speak 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{14}And the Lord bethought himself of the evil which he had spoken to do unto his people.

\VS{15}And Moses turned about, and went down from the mount with the two tables of the testimony in his hand: tables inscribed on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they inscribed.

\VS{16}And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved upon the tables.

\VS{17}And Joshua heard the noise of the people in its shouting, and he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.

\VS{18}And he said, It is not the voice of a shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of a cry for defeat; the noise of singing do I hear.

\VS{19}And it came to pass, when he came nigh unto the camp, and he saw the calf, and the dancing: that the anger of Moses waxed hot, and he cast from his hands the tables, and broke them at the foot of the mount.

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

\VS{21}And Moses said unto Aaron, What hath this people done unto thee, that thou hast brought upon it so great a sin?

\VS{22}And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my Lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that it is bent on mischief.

\VS{23}And they said unto me, Make us gods that shall go before us; for of this man Moses, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath become of him.

\VS{24}And I said unto them, Who hath any gold? They took it off themselves and gave it to me, and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.

\VS{25}And Moses saw the people that it had become unruly; for Aaron had made it unruly for a disgrace among their opponents.

\VS{26}Moses then placed himself in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoever is on the Lord's side, let him come unto me! and there assembled themselves unto him all the sons of Levi.

\VS{27}And he said unto them, Thus hath said the Eternal, the God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword by his side, and go ye hither and thither, from gate to gate in the camp, and slay ye every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his relative.

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

\VS{29}And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, yea even every man on his son, and on his brother; and to bestow upon you this day a blessing.

\VS{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 may obtain an atonement for your sin.

\VS{31}And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people hath sinned a great sin, and they have made themselves gods of gold.

\VS{32}Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—; but if not, blot me out, I pray thee, from thy book which thou hast written.

\VS{33}And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out from my book.

\VS{34}And now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee; behold, my angel shall go before thee; but on the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.

\VS{35}And the Lord sent a plague among the people, because that they had made the calf which Aaron made.

\VS{2}And I will send before thee an angel; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Emorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite;—

\VS{3}Unto a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in the midst of thee, because thou art a stiffnecked people; lest I consume thee on the way.

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

\VS{5}For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people; should I go up one moment in the midst of thee, I would consume thee; now therefore put off thy ornaments from thee, and I shall know what I will do unto thee.

\VS{6}The children of Israel then stripped themselves of their ornaments [they wore] from [the time they were at] mount Horeb.

\VS{7}And Moses took the tent, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it, Tabernacle of the congregation; and it came to pass, that every one who sought [instruction of] the Lord went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.

\VS{8}And it came to pass, that when Moses went out unto the tent, all the people would rise up, and stand every man at the door of his tent, and look after Moses, until he was gone into the tent.

\VS{11}And the Lord spoke unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend; and then he returned into the camp; but his servant, Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tent.

\VS{12}And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people; but thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me: and yet thou hast said, I have chosen thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my eyes.

\VS{13}Now, therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy eyes, do make me know thy way, that I may know thee, in order that I may find grace in thy eyes; and consider that this nation is thy people.

\VS{14}And he said, My presence shall go in advance, and I will give thee rest.

\VS{15}And he said unto him, If thy presence go not [with us,] carry us not up from here.

\VS{16}For wherein shall it be known in any wise that I have found grace in thy eyes, I with thy people? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be distinguished, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.

\VS{17}And the Lord said unto Moses, Also this thing that thou hast spoken will I do; for thou hast found grace in my eyes, and I have chosen thee by name.

\VS{18}And he said, Let me see, I beseech thee, thy glory.

\VS{19}And he said, I will cause all my goodness to pass before thy face, and I will proclaim, by name, the Lord before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy.

\VS{20}And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for no man can see me, and live.

\VS{21}And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock:

\VS{22}And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in the cleft of the rock, and I will cover thee with my hand, until I have passed by.

\VS{23}And then I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back parts; but my face shall not be seen.



\par }\Chap{34}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And the Lord said unto Moses, Hew thyself two tables of stone like unto the first; and I will write upon these tables the words which were on the first tables, which thou didst break.

\VS{2}And be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me on the top of the mount.

\VS{3}And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks or herds feed near this mount.

\VS{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 he took in his hand the two tables of stone.

\VS{5}And the Lord descended in a cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed, by name, the Lord.

\VS{6}And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord is the immutable, eternal Being, the omnipotent God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundant in beneficence and truth;

\VS{7}Keeping mercy unto the thousandth [generation], forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who 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.

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

\VS{9}And he said, If now I have found grace in thy eyes, O Lord, let the Lord, I pray thee, go among us; even because it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon thou our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thy heritage.

\VS{10}And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people will I perform wonders, such as have not been done on all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people amongst whom thou art shall see the work of the Lord; for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

\VS{11}Observe thou that which I command thee this day; behold, I will drive out before thee the Emorite, 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 against which thou goest up, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee;

\VS{13}But their altars shall ye destroy, and their statues shall ye break, and their groves shall ye cut down.

\VS{14}For thou shalt worship no other God; for the Lord whose name is Watchful, is a watchful God.

\VS{15}Make thou then no covenant with the inhabitants of the land; lest that, if they go astray after their gods, and sacrifice unto their gods, any one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;

\VS{16}And lest thou take of his daughters unto thy sons; and when his daughters go astray after their gods, they make thy sons also go astray after their gods.

\VS{17}Thou shalt not make unto thyself any molten gods.

\VS{18}The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I have commanded thee, in the time of the month of Abib; for in the month of Abib thou wentest forth out of Egypt.

\VS{19}All that openeth the womb is mine; and every firstling that is a male among thy cattle, whether ox or lamb.

\VS{20}But the firstling of an ass shalt thou redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck; all the first-born of thy sons shalt thou redeem; and none shall appear before me empty.

\VS{21}Six days thou mayest work, but on the seventh day shalt thou rest: even in ploughing time and in harvest shalt thou rest.

\VS{22}And the feast of weeks shalt thou observe, with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest; and the feast of ingathering at the closing of the year.

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

\VS{24}For I will cast out nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders; yet shall no man desire thy land, when thou goest up to appear in the presence of the Lord thy God thrice in the year.

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

\VS{26}The first of the first-fruits of thy land shalt thou bring unto the house of the Lord thy God: thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

\VS{27}And the Lord said unto Moses, Write thee down these words; for after the tenor of these words have I made with thee a covenant and with Israel.

\VS{28}And he remained there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; bread he did not eat, and water he did not drink; and he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

\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 be came down from the mount, that Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone, because he had spoken with him.

\VS{30}And Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, and, behold, the skin of his face shone: and they were afraid to come nigh unto him.

\VS{31}But Moses called unto them, and then returned unto him Aaron and all the princes of the congregation: and Moses spoke to them.

\VS{32}And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he commanded them all that which the Lord had spoken with him on mount Sinai.

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

\VS{34}But when Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out; and then he came out, and spoke unto the children of Israel that which he had been commanded.

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

\VS{3}Ye shall not kindle any fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.

\VS{4}And Moses said unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, as followeth, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, saying,

\VS{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 copper,

\VS{6}And blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and linen thread, and goats' hair,

\VS{20}And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

\VS{21}And they came, every man whose heart stirred him up; and every one whom his spirit made willing, brought the Lord's offering for the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all its service, and for the holy garments.

\VS{22}And they came, the men with the women; whoever was willing-hearted, brought bracelets, and earrings, and finger-rings, and tablets, all kinds of ornaments of gold, and every man that offered an offering of gold unto the Lord.

\VS{23}And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and linen thread, and goats' hair, and rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, brought them.

\VS{24}Every one that did offer an offering of silver and copper brought it as the Lord's offering; and every one with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.

\VS{25}And all the women that were wise-hearted spun with their hands, and they brought that which they had spun, of the blue, and of the purple, and of the scarlet yarn, and of the linen thread.

\VS{26}And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats' hair.

\VS{27}And the princes brought the onyx stones, and the stones for setting, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;

\VS{29}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, even that brought the children of Israel as a free-will offering unto the Lord.

\VS{30}And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the Lord hath called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Chur, of the tribe of Judah;

\VS{31}And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;

\VS{32}And to devise works of art, to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,

\VS{33}And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in the carving of wood, to make any manner of work of art.

\VS{34}And to teach hath he put in his heart, both to him, and to Aholiab, the son of Achissamach, of the tribe of Dan.

\VS{35}He hath filled them with wisdom of heart, to execute all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the designing weaver, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet yarn, and in linen thread, and of the weaver, of those that do every species of work, and of those that devise works of art.

\VS{2}And Moses called for Bezalel and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, every one whose heart stirred him up to come near unto the work to do it:

\VS{3}And they received from Moses the whole of the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it; and these brought unto him yet more free-will offerings morning after morning.

\VS{4}And then came all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, every man from his own work which they were doing.

\VS{5}And they said unto Moses, thus, The people bring more than is required for the service of the work, which the Lord hath commanded to make.

\VS{6}And Moses gave the command, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary: so the people were restrained from bringing [more].

\VS{7}And the stuff prepared was sufficient for all the work to make it, and there was some over.

\VS{8}And all the wise-hearted men, among those who wrought the work, made the tabernacle of ten curtains; of twisted linen thread, and blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn; with cherubim, of weaver's work, made he them.

\VS{9}The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: there was one measure for all the curtains.

\VS{10}And he coupled together five of the curtains one to another: and the other five curtains he coupled one to another.

\VS{11}And he made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, which was the outside in the coupling: the like he made on the border of the curtain, which was the outmost on the second coupling.

\VS{12}Fifty loops made he on the one curtain, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain which was in the second coupling: the loops were fixed opposite to each other.

\VS{13}And he made fifty hooks of gold; and he coupled the curtains together one unto the other with the hooks, and the tabernacle became thus one piece.

\VS{14}And he made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains made he the same.

\VS{15}The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of each curtain: there was one measure for the eleven curtains.

\VS{16}And he coupled five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves.

\VS{17}And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was the outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain of the second coupling.

\VS{18}And he made fifty hooks of copper, to couple the tent together that it might be one piece.

\VS{19}And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above.

\VS{20}And he made the boards for the tabernacle, of shittim wood, standing up.

\VS{21}Ten cubits was the length of each board, and one cubit and a half was the breadth of each one board.

\VS{22}There were two tenons for every board, fitted in, one against the other: the like made he for all the boards of the tabernacle.

\VS{23}And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side, on the right.

\VS{24}And forty sockets of silver made he under the twenty boards; two sockets under the one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under the other board for its two tenons.

\VS{25}And for the other side of the tabernacle, for the north side, he made twenty boards:

\VS{27}And for the back wall of the tabernacle, westward, he made six boards.

\VS{28}And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the back wall.

\VS{29}And they were closely fitting beneath, and they were closely joined together on the top, by means of one ring; thus he did to both of them, for both the corners.

\VS{30}And so there were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets, two sockets under every board.

\VS{31}And he made bars of shittim wood; five, for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle;

\VS{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 back wall, westward.

\VS{34}And the boards he overlaid with gold, and their rings he made of gold, as receptacles for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold.

\VS{35}And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and twisted linen; of weaver's work made he it, with cherubim.

\VS{36}And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, their hooks also were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.

\VS{36}The table, and all its vessels, and the showbread;

\VS{37}The pure candlestick, with its lamps, the lamps to be set in order thereupon, and all its vessels, and the oil for the lighting,

\VS{38}And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the incense of spices, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle;

\VS{39}The copper altar, and the grating of copper which belonged to it, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its foot;

\VS{40}The hangings of the court, its pillars and its sockets, and the hanging for the court-gate, its cords, and its pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation;

\VS{41}The cloths of service to do the service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister therein.

\VS{42}All, just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so had the children of Israel done all the work.

\VS{43}And Moses did look over all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the Lord had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.



\par }\Chap{40}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

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

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

\VS{4}And thou shalt bring in the table, and arrange the order of the showbread upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.

\VS{5}And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony; and thou shalt put up the hanging at 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 the congregation.

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

\VS{8}And thou shalt set up the court round about, and put up the hanging at the gate of the court.

\VS{9}And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein; and thou shalt hallow it, with all its vessels, and it shall be holy.

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

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

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

\VS{13}And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may be a priest unto me.

\VS{14}And his sons shalt thou bring near, and clothe them with coats:

\VS{15}And thou shalt anoint them, as thou hast anointed their father, that they may be priests unto me; and this shall be, that their anointing shall be unto them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

\VS{16}And Moses did so; all, just as the Lord had commanded him, so did he.

\VS{17}And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.

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

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

\VS{20}And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and placed the staves on the ark; and he put the mercy-seat upon the ark above.

\VS{21}And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the separation, and made therewith a separation for the ark of the testimony; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

\VS{22}And he put the table in the tabernacle of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle, northward, without the vail.

\VS{23}And he arranged upon it the order of bread before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

\VS{24}And he placed the candlestick in the tabernacle of the congregation, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle, southward.

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

\VS{26}And he placed the golden altar in the tabernacle of the congregation before the vail.

\VS{27}And he burnt thereon the incense of spices; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

\VS{28}And he put up the hanging at the door to the tabernacle.

\VS{29}And the altar of burnt-offering he placed by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation; and he offered upon it the burnt-offering and the meat-offering; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

\VS{30}And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, for washing.

\VS{31}And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed therefrom their hands and their feet.

\VS{32}When they went in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed themselves; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

\VS{33}And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and put up the hanging of the gate of the court; and so did Moses finish the work.

\VS{34}And the cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

\VS{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.

\VS{36}And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel were wont to go onward in all their journeyings.

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

\VS{38}For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and a fire was by night on it, before the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeyings.
