But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who sojourns 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.

223

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

224

And the woman conceived, and bore a son. And when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.

225

And LORD said to Moses, Now thou shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For by a strong hand he shall let them go, and by a strong hand he shall drive them out of his land.

226

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

227

But indeed for this cause I have raised thee up, to display in thee my power, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.

228

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 thou are to me.

229

And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman, these are the families of Simeon.

230

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-seven years.

231

But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart, and did not hearken to them, as LORD had spoken.

232

And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel upon the houses in which they shall eat it.

233

And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.

234

The pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night departed not from before the people.

235

And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye have come so soon today?

236

For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he has dealt ill with this people, neither have thou delivered thy people at all.

237

And if one man's ox hurts another's, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the price of it, and the dead they shall also divide.

238

There is no straw given to thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick. And, behold, thy servants are beaten, but the fault it in thine own people.

239

And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? Do thou think to kill me, as thou killed the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely the thing is known.

240

And LORD said to Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt, for all the men are dead who sought thy life.

241

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

242

And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom, for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.

243

And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omerful of manna in it, and lay it up before LORD, to be kept throughout your generations.

244

And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

245

And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah.

246

And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the sons of Israel.

247

they did not see each other, neither did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.

248

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

249

Get thee to Pharaoh in the morning, lo, he goes out to the water, and thou shall stand by the river's edge to meet him, and the rod which was turned to a serpent thou shall take in thy hand.

250

If the ox gores a man-servant or a maid-servant, there shall be given to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

251

If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid upon him.

252

And the sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel. And the years of the life of Kohath were a hundred thirty-three years.

253

And Aaron spoke all the words which LORD had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.

254

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.

255

And it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. And the cloud and the darkness was there, yet it gave light by night. And the one did not come near the other all the night.

256

And LORD said to Moses, Yet one plague more I will bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt, afterwards he will let you go from here. When he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out from here altogether.

257

I will send my terror before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shall come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs to thee.

258

Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it upon a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.

259

And Moses said, This is the thing which LORD has commanded. Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egy

260

For now I have put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, and thou have been cut off from the earth.

261

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

262

And LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him on the mountain of God, and kissed him.

263

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

264

And LORD spoke to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus says LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

265

So the people rested on the seventh day.

266

And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife, and she bore him Aaron and Moses. And the years of the life of Amram were a hundred and thirty-seven years.

267

But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle. Therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice to LORD.

268

And thou shall say to him, LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. And, behold, until now thou have not hearkened.

269

And see that thou make [them] according to their pattern that has been shown thee on the mountain.

270

Our cattle shall also go with us, there shall not a hoof be left behind, for must we take of it to serve LORD our God, and we do not know with what we must serve LORD, until we come there.

271

And Moses said, Thou must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice to LORD our God.

272

And LORD said to 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),

273

Go therefore now, and work, for there shall no straw be given you, yet ye shall deliver the number of bricks.

274

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

275

But Pharaoh will not hearken to you. And I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my armies, my people the sons of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.

276

and that thou may tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought upon Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them, that ye may know that I am LORD.

277

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

278

And Moses said, Thus says LORD, About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt,

279

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.

280

Upon the flesh of man it shall not be poured, neither shall ye make any like it, according to the composition of it. It is holy, [and] it shall be holy to you.

281

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.

282

And LORD said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh. Lo, he comes forth to the water. And say to him, Thus says LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

283

And Moses said, Thou have spoken well. I will see thy face again no more.

284

And the shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

285

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

286

Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, was there no hail.

287

And Pharaoh said to him, Get thee from me. Take heed to thyself, see my face no more, for in the day thou see my face thou shall die.

288

Do not eat of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire, its head with its legs and with the inwards of it.

289

Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God. And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, as LORD had spoken.

290

And if an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the ox shall be acquitted.

291

And the officers of the sons of Israel saw that they were in affliction, when it was said, Ye shall not diminish anything from your bricks, [your] daily tasks.

292

Is not this the word that we spoke to thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it were better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.

293

And LORD said to Moses, Whoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

294

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.

295

And the king of Egypt said to them, Therefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, loose the people from their works? Get you to your burdens.

296

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.

297

And LORD said to Moses, Say to 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

298

and all the first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sits upon his throne, even to the first-born of the maid-servant that is behind the mill, and all the first-born of cattle.

299

But against any of the sons of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast, that ye may know how that LORD makes a distinction between the Egyptians and Israel.

300

And he said to his daughters, And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.

301

Then LORD said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus says LORD, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

302

And Moses and Aaron did so, as LORD commanded. And he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants, and all the waters that were in the river were turned

303

And in that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, to the end thou may know that I am LORD in the midst of the earth.

304

And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus says LORD, the God of the Hebrews, How long will thou refuse to humble thyself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.

305

And Aaron took him Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab, the sister of Nahshon, to wife, and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

306

Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into thy border.

307

And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs.

308

And the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their generations.

309

Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,

310

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 to this day. And he tur

311

And LORD said to Moses, Pharaoh will not hearken to you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.

312

And thou shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place.

313

And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had strictly sworn the sons of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones away from here with you.

315

And LORD 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 because of the swarms of flies.

316

And LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.

317

Speak now in the ears of the people, and let them ask every man of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.

319

And I will put a division between my people and thy people. This sign shall be by tomorrow.

320

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 to LORD.

321

the owner of the pit shall make it good; he shall give money to the owner of it, and the dead [beast] shall be his.

322

And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh. And LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the sons of Israel go out of his land.

323

Now these are the ordinances which thou shall set before them.

324

And Pharaoh's servants said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve LORD their God. Do thou not yet know that Egypt is destroyed?

325

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

326

And they said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to LORD our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

327

And Moses told Aaron all the words of LORD with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had ordered him.

328

So he let him alone. Then she said, A bridegroom of blood [thou are], because of the circumcision.

329

As yet thou exalt thyself against my people, that thou will not let them go?

330

And the sons of Korah: Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These are the families of the Korahites.

331

And they shall cover the face of the earth, so that no man is able to see the ground. And they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of

332

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

333

But if any harm follows, then thou shall give life for life,

334

Else, if thou will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon they servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses. And the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also th

335

the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court, the cords of it, and the pins of it, and all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting,

336

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

337

And the sons of Uzziel: Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Sithri.

338

Thou shall not revile the gods, nor {speak maliciously (LXX/NT)} of a ruler of thy people.

339

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

340

And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been, nor shall be any more.

341

And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojourning, in which they sojourned.

342

He who feared the word of LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses.

343

And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.

344

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

345

And Moses said to the people, Fear not, for God has come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye not sin.

346

And thou shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

347

Now therefore send, hasten in thy cattle and all that thou have in the field, [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.

348

And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.

349

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

351

And all these thy servants shall come down to me, and bow themselves down to me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people who follow thee. And after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger.

352

burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

353

If thou at all take thy neighbor's garment to pledge, thou shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,

354

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near, for God said, Lest perhaps the people regret when they see war, and they return to Eg

355

And the magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their enchantments. And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, as LORD had spoken.

356

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

357

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

358

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-trough

359

And he said to them, So be LORD with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones. Look, evil is before you.

361

And all the congregation of the sons of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to the commandment of LORD, and encamped in Rephidim. And there was no water for the people to drink.

362

And it came to pass on the day when LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

363

These are those who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt. These are that Moses and Aaron.

364

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,

365

Thou shall not delay to offer from thy harvest, and from the outflow of thy presses. The first-born of thy sons thou shall give to me.

366

And he took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them with difficulty, so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel, for LORD fights for them against the Egyptians.

367

And Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh. And he said to them, Go, serve LORD your God, but who are those who shall go?

368

And LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend, and he turned again into the camp. But his minister Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart out of the tent.

369

And if a man smites the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.

370

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

371

We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to LORD our God, as he shall command us.

372

And the sons 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.

373

And LORD said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.

374

And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow. Only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting t

375

These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom LORD said, Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.

376

And he who did not regard the word of LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.

377

And Moses said, It is not right to do so, for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to LORD our God. Lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?

379

And he made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer,

380

And thou shall set upon the table showbread before me always.

381

And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink, for they could not drink of the water of the river.

382

Thou shall speak all that I command thee, and Aaron thy brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land.

383

And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven, and LORD sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth, and LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

384

And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

385

And LORD said to Moses, Say to 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.

386

And seven days were fulfilled, after LORD had smitten the river.

387

The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, according to their families.

388

Thus LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore.

389

And LORD said to 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.

390

And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart.

391

And LORD came down upon mount Sinai, to the top of the mount. And LORD called Moses to the top of the mount, and Moses went up.

392

And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and looked on their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brothers.

393

And the sons of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

394

Now the time that the sons of Israel dwelt in {the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan (LXX)} was four hundred and thirty years.

395

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

396

that LORD spoke to Moses, saying, I am LORD. Speak thou to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak to thee.

397

Speak thou also to the sons of Israel, saying, Truly ye shall keep my Sabbaths, for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that I am LORD who sanctifies you.

398

And throughout all the land of Egypt the hail smote all that was in the field, both man and beast, and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.

399

And LORD said to Moses, Take to thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, sweet spices with pure frankincense, of each shall there be a like weight.

400

And Moses said before LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken to me?

401

And Moses said to the people, Fear ye not. Stand still, and see the salvation of LORD, which he will work for you today, for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever.

402

And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time. LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

403

And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall pass through from end to end.

404

And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah.

405

And the frogs shall come up both upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.

406

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 LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt.

407

And God spoke to Moses, and said to him, I am LORD.

408

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

409

And Moses said to him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands to LORD. The thunders shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail, that thou may know that the earth is LORD's.

410

behold, the hand of LORD is upon thy cattle which are in the field, upon the horses, upon the donkeys, upon the camels, upon the herds, and upon the flocks--a very grievous pestilence.

411

And Moses and Aaron did so, as LORD commanded them, so they did.

412

And now go, lead the people to [the place] of which I have spoken to thee. Behold, my [heavenly] agent shall go before thee. Nevertheless in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them.

413

And bring thou near to thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the sons of Israel, that he may minister to me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

414

for that is his only covering. It is his garment for his skin. How shall he sleep? And it shall come to pass, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.

415

And he gave to Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.

416

And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

418

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

420

but the seventh day is a Sabbath to LORD thy God. Thou shall not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates,

421

And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and will proclaim the name of LORD before thee. {I will be merciful to whom I may be merciful, and I will be compassionate to whomever I may be compassionate (LXX/NT)}.

422

and let them judge the people at all seasons. And it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring to thee, but every small matter they shall judge themselves. So shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear [the burden

423

And God said moreover to Moses, Thus shall thou say to the sons of Israel, LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is my name forever, and this is my memor

424

And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of an exceedingly loud trumpet. And all the people who were in the camp trembled.

425

Ye have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.

426

And the whole congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.

427

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.

428

And it shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with sores upon man and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.

429

And LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died, but of the cattle of the sons of Israel not one died.

430

And he said, Show me, I pray thee, thy glory.

432

LORD is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.

434

And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the tent of meeting.

435

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.

437

And LORD shall make a distinction between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt, and there shall nothing die of all that belongs to the sons of Israel.

438

Entreat LORD, for there has been enough of [these] mighty thunderings and hail, and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.

439

And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated LORD.

441

And the blood shall be to you for a sign upon the houses where ye are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

442

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.

443

If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it, he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.

444

And LORD said to Moses, See, I have made thee as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.

445

And it came to pass on the way at the lodging-place, that LORD met him, and sought to kill him.

446

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

447

And Moses said to LORD, Oh, LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou have spoken to thy servant, for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

448

And if he knocks out his man-servant's tooth, or his maid-servant's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.

449

Take thou also to thee the chief spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred [shekels], and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty,

450

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

451

And he cried to LORD. And LORD 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,

452

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

453

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

455

Thou shall not follow a multitude to do evil, neither shall thou speak in a case to turn aside after a multitude to distort [justice],

456

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

457

And LORD said to Moses, Why do thou cry to me? Speak to the sons of Israel, that they go forward.

458

And it came to pass in the morning watch, that LORD looked forth upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and troubled the army of the Egyptians.

459

and the five pillars of it with their hooks. And he overlaid their capitals and their bands with gold, and their five sockets were of brass.

460

And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

462

For if thou refuse to let them go, and will still hold them,

463

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

465

Then LORD said to 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.

466

But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear LORD God.

467

And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken to my voice, for they will say, LORD has not appeared to thee.

468

So Moses went down to the people, and told them.

470

But Moses' hands were heavy. And they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. And his hands were steady until the going do

471

And I will set thy border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River. For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and thou shall drive them out before thee.

472

keeping loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and who will by no means clear [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, upon the th

473

Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built store-cities for Pharaoh, Pithom and Rameses.

474

And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people. And they said, All that LORD has spoken will we do, and be obedient.

476

And LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.

477

If thou lend money to any of my people with thee who is poor, thou shall not be to him as a creditor, neither shall ye lay upon him interest.

478

Thou shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

479

And ye shall serve LORD your God, and he will bless thy bread, and thy water, and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

480

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

481

And LORD said to Moses, Come up to me onto the mount, and be there, and I will give thee the tablets of stone, and the law and the commandment, which I have written, that thou may teach them.

482

Moreover thou shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains, of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim the work of the skilful workman shall thou make them.

483

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

484

And he was there with LORD forty days and forty nights. He neither ate bread, nor drank water, and he wrote upon the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

485

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 LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

487

And six years thou shall sow thy land, and shall gather in the increase of it,

488

And the agent of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.

490

See, because LORD has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives 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.

492

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.

493

And they took their journey from Elim. And all the congregation of the sons of Israel came to 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

494

And when they were departed from Rephidim, and came to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness, and there Israel encamped before the mount.

495

And every day thou shall offer the bullock of sin-offering for atonement. And thou shall cleanse the altar when thou make atonement for it, and thou shall anoint it, to sanctify it.

497

Therefore say to the sons of Israel, I am LORD. And I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments.

498

And Moses said to LORD, See, thou say to me, Bring up this people, and thou have not let me know whom thou will send with me. Yet thou have said, I know thee by name, and thou have also found favor in my sight.

499

This is the thing which LORD has commanded, Gather ye of it every man according to his eating, an omer a head. According to the number of your persons, ye shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent.

500

They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me, for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to thee.

501

But the sons of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

502

And Moses led Israel onward 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.

503

And thou shall make an altar to burn incense upon. Thou shall make it of acacia wood.

504

And when Pharaoh drew near, the sons of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they were very afraid. And the sons of Israel cried out to LORD,

505

The first of the first-fruits of thy ground thou shall bring into the house of LORD thy God. Thou shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

506

Moreover thou shall 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,

507

If the thief is found breaking in, and be smitten so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguiltiness for him.

509

And thou shall make a candlestick of pure gold. Of beaten work shall the candlestick be made, even its base, and its shaft, its cups, its knobs, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it.

511

Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb, and thou shall 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.

512

And it came to pass at midnight, that LORD smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the first-born of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the first-born of cattl

513

And they came to Elim, where were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there by the waters.

514

And LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of LORD.

515

Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of LORD filled the tabernacle.

516

And mount Sinai, the whole of it, smoked, because LORD descended upon it in fire, and the smoke of it ascended as the smoke of a furnace. And the whole mount quaked greatly.

517

It is a sign between me and the sons of Israel forever. For in six days LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

518

And LORD said to 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.

519

If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, thou shall surely bring it back to him again.

520

And they shall make an ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half shall be the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.

522

Six days thou shall do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shall rest, that thine ox and thy donkey may have rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the sojourner, may be refreshed.

523

And he said to Moses, Come up to LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship ye afar off.

524

And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood about Moses from the morning to the evening.

525

And LORD said to Moses, Hew thee two tablets of stone like the first, and I will write upon the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which thou broke.

526

Likewise thou shall do with thine oxen, [and] with thy sheep. Seven days it shall be with its dam. On the eighth day thou shall give it me.

529

And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

530

And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. And when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off.

531

And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant that LORD has made with you concerning all these words.

532

And the sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, besides children.

534

And upon the skirts of it thou shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the skirts of it, and bells of gold between them round about:

535

And it was told the king of Egypt that the people were fled. And the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?

536

And this is the thing that thou shall do to them to hallow them, to minister to me in the priest's office: Take one young bullock and two rams without blemish,

537

And they shall eat those things with which atonement was made, to consecrate [and] to sanctify them, but a stranger shall not eat of it, because they are holy.

539

And LORD said to Moses, Go in to 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,

540

Therefore the sons of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

541

then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door, or to the door-post, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.

542

and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labors, which thou sow in the field, and the feast of ingathering at the end of the year, when thou gather in thy labors out of the field.

543

And the sons of Israel did according to the word of Moses, and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment.

544

Then Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.

545

And when they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.

546

And thou shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. With cherubim the work of the skilful workman shall it be made.

547

And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

548

And this day shall be to you for a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to LORD; throughout your generations ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.

549

And thou shall make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work shall thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat.

550

And thou shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring in there within the veil the ark of the testimony. And the veil shall separate to you between the holy place and the most holy.

551

And LORD said to him, Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes [a man] dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, LORD?

552

And they saw the God of Israel. And there was under his feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and as it were the very heaven for clearness.

553

And LORD spoke to Moses, Go, get thee down. For thy people, that thou brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.

554

And there I will meet with thee. And I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment to the sons of Isra

558

And thou shall command the sons of Israel, that they bring to thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually

559

And thou shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skilful workman. Thou shall make it like the work of the ephod: of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, thou shall make it.

560

But if the ox was accustomed to gore in time past, and it has been testified to its owner, and he has not kept it in, but it has killed a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and its owner shall also be put to death.

561

Speak ye to all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth [day] of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household.

562

And LORD relented of the evil which he said he would do to his people.

563

In one house it shall be eaten. Thou shall not carry forth any of the flesh abroad out of the house, neither shall ye break a bone of it.

564

And LORD said to Moses, Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,

565

And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

566

And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

567

Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it outside the camp, afar off from the camp, and he called it, The tent of meeting. And it came to pass, that everyone who sought LORD went out to the tent of meeting, which was outside

568

Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death, for whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

569

Six days ye shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath, there shall be none in it.

570

And it shall have a hole for the head in the midst of it. It shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it be not torn.

571

And Moses said to the sons of Israel, See, LORD has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

573

Therefore the people contended with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said to them, Why do ye contend with me? Why do ye challenge LORD?

574

And ye shall be holy men to me. Therefore ye shall not eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field. Ye shall cast it to the dogs.

575

And thou shall set bounds to the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye not go up onto the mount, or touch the border of it. Whoever touches the mount shall be surely put to death;

576

then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoever is on LORD's side, [come] to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.

577

And he said to them, Thus says LORD, 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

578

And Moses said to the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage, for by strength of hand LORD brought you out from this place. There shall no leavened bread be eaten.

579

And it came to pass in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died. And the sons of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.

580

And there shall be six branches going out of the sides of it, three branches of the candlestick out of the one side of it, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side of it:

581

Keep thee far from a FALSE matter. And do not kill an innocent and righteous man, for I will not justify a wicked man.

582

Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may grow hot against them, and that I may consume them. And I will make of thee a great nation.

583

And Moses assembled all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and said to them, These are the words which LORD has commanded, that ye should do them.

584

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

585

And thou shall make the dishes of it, and the spoons of it, and the flagons of it, and the bowls of it, with which to pour out, of pure gold thou shall make them.

586

Moreover LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

587

And a knob under two branches of one piece with it, and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the candlestick.

588

And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the A

589

And he who steals a man, and sells him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

590

three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knob and a flower, and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knob and a flower, so for the six branches going out of the candlestick,

591

See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,

592

And LORD said to Moses, Lo, I come to thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and may also believe thee forever. And Moses told the words of the people to LORD.

593

And a mixed multitude also went up with them, and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.

594

And it shall be for a sign to thee upon thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the law of LORD may be in thy mouth, for with a strong hand has LORD brought thee out of Egypt.

595

And if any of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remains to the morning, then thou shall burn the remainder with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

596

Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

597

And they said to Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear, but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

598

And Moses besought LORD his God, and said, LORD, why does thy wrath grow hot against thy people, whom thou have brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?

600

Now this is that which thou shall offer upon the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually.

601

And LORD said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

602

And thus thou shall do to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded thee. Seven days thou shall consecrate them.

603

And thou shall observe the feast of weeks, [even] of the first-fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.

604

Speak to the sons of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-zephon. Ye shall encamp opposite it by the sea.

605

And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit and not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls in it,

606

And thou shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for beauty.

607

And in all things that I have said to you take ye heed, and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

608

And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the army of Pharaoh who went in after them into the sea, there remained not so much as one of them.

609

Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where thou go, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee.

610

And LORD spoke to Moses, Depart, go up from here, thou and the people that thou have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed will I give it.

611

And with the one lamb a tenth part [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink-offering.

612

Speak to the sons of Israel, that they take for me an offering; of every man whose heart makes him willing ye shall take my offering.

613

And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, tablets that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.

615

And when the voice of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

616

And thou shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars. And thou shall overlay the bars with gold.

617

And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the contending of the sons of Israel, and because they challenged LORD, saying, Is LORD among us, or not?

618

And when the sons of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is it? For they knew not what it was. And Moses said to them, It is the bread which LORD has given you to eat.

619

And thou shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad (the altar shall be foursquare), and the height of it shall be three cubits.

620

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 are shall see the work of LORD, for it is an aw

621

Little by little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

622

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.

623

And thou shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO LORD.

624

And the sons of Israel said to them, Would that we had died by the hand of LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we ate bread to the full, for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this who

625

According to all that I show thee: the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furniture of it, even so shall ye make it.

626

and they judged the people at all seasons. The hard cases they brought to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

627

But if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my sons, I will not go out free,

628

And LORD said to Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people.

629

And LORD said to Moses, Write thou these words, for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.

630

And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of it once in the year, with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement. Once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to LORD.

631

And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of checker work, a miter, and a sash. And they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister

632

Thou shall keep the feast of unleavened bread (Seven days thou shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib, for in it thou came out from Egypt, and none shall appear before me empty),

633

If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

634

And Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.

635

And all the people answered together, and said, All that LORD has spoken we will do. And Moses reported the words of the people to LORD.

637

And if men contend, and one smites the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he does not die, but keeps his bed,

638

And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made finely wrought garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron, as LORD commanded Moses.

639

And LORD said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the Passover. There shall no foreigner eat of it,

640

to a land flowing with milk and honey. For I will not go up in the midst of thee, for thou are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume thee on the way.

641

And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the Passover to LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it, and he shall be as one who is born in the land, but no uncircumcised man sha

642

And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies,)

643

And Moses said to Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.

644

And thou shall raise up the tabernacle according to the fashion of it which has been shown thee on the mount.

645

Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thy sight, show me now thy ways, that I may know thee, to the end that I may find favor in thy sight. And consider that this nation is thy people.

646

And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

647

And thou shall make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it.

648

And Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went his way into his own land.

649

And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up onto the mount. And Moses was on the mount forty days and forty nights.

650

And the people thirsted there for water. And the people murmured against Moses, and said, Why have thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our sons and our cattle with thirst?

651

And it came to pass at evening, that the quails came up, and covered the camp. And in the morning the dew lay round about the camp,

652

And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he shall follow after them, and I will get for me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his army, and the Egyptians shall know that I am LORD. And they did so.

653

And the sons of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

654

And thou shall tell thy son in that day, saying, It is because of that which LORD did for me when I came forth out of Egypt.

655

And LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. And they despoiled the Egyptians.

656

Their knobs and their branches shall be of one piece with it, the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold.

657

And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her away,

658

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.

659

a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about.

660

And it came to pass at the end of four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the armies of LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

661

For my [heavenly] agent shall go before thee, and bring thee in to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, and I will cut them off.

662

And he said, LORD has sworn, LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

663

And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings. And the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to revel.

664

And the people believed. And when they heard that LORD had visited the sons of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.

665

And the name of the other was Eliezer, for [he said], The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.

666

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

667

and when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, small as the hoarfrost on the ground.

668

And he made the altar of burnt-offering of acacia wood: five cubits was the length of it, and five cubits the breadth of it, foursquare, and three cubits the height of it.

669

This they shall give, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered: half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary, (the shekel is twenty gerahs,) half a shekel for an offering to LORD.

670

But ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and ye shall cut down their Asherim,

671

This day ye go forth in the month Abib.

672

And thou shall make the lamps of it, seven. And they shall light the lamps of it, to give light opposite it.

673

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

674

And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses [and] chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal-zephon.

675

Thou shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.

676

And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, We are all dead men.

677

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

678

And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to LORD, perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.

679

And thou shall hang it upon four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, their hooks [shall be] of gold, upon four sockets of silver.

680

And thou shall make a table of acacia wood, two cubits the length of it, and a cubit the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.

681

And Moses cried to LORD, saying, What shall I do to this people? They are almost ready to stone me.

682

And thou shall beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee. It shall be to you most holy.

683

The peoples have heard, they tremble. Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.

684

And LORD said to Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee from the elders of Israel, and thy rod, with which thou smote the river, take in thy hand, and go.

685

And thou shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.

686

And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

687

When thou take the sum of the sons of Israel, according to those who are numbered of them, then they shall give every man a ransom for his soul to LORD when thou number them, that there be no plague among them when thou number them

688

Take ye heed before him, and hearken to his voice, provoke him not. For he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him.

689

Take both your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone, and bless me also.

690

And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.

691

If thou see the donkey of him who hates thee lying under his burden, thou shall refrain leaving him. Thou shall surely release [it] with him.

692

and in the candlestick four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knobs of it, and the flowers of it.

693

And it shall be, when LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that th

695

And Moses went up onto the mount, and the cloud covered the mount.

696

And the flax and the barley were smitten, for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bloom.

697

This is the sum of the tabernacle, even the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

698

And LORD said to Moses, I will do this thing also that thou have spoken, for thou have found favor in my sight, and I know thee by name.

699

And Moses went down from the mount to the people, and sanctified the people, and they washed their garments.

701

And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed, and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

702

Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed, the mighty men of Moab. Trembling takes hold upon them. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.

703

And every firstling of a donkey thou shall redeem with a lamb, and if thou will not redeem it, then thou shall break its neck. And all the first-born of man among thy sons thou shall redeem.

704

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

705

neither shall thou favor a poor man in his case.

706

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swore by thine own self, and said to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven. And all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your seed, and they

708

And thou shall make of it incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure [and] holy.

709

And thou shall set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle shall be the first row,

710

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 provisions.

711

but the seventh year thou shall let it rest and lay fallow, that the poor of thy people may eat, and what they leave the beast of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shall deal with thy vineyard, [and] with thy oliveyard.

712

and they said to Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, have thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have thou dealt thus with us, to bring us forth out of Egypt?

713

Thou shall not distort the justice [due] to thy poor in his case.

714

If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, [to see] whether he has not put his hand to his neighbor's goods.

715

And it shall come to pass, while my glory passes by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand until I have passed by.

716

And thou shall speak to all who are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron's garments to sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

717

And thou shall make the court of the tabernacle. For the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen a hundred cubits long for one side.

718

And I will take away my hand, and thou shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.

719

And Bezalel and Oholiab shall work, and every wise-hearted man, in whom LORD has put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that LORD has commanded.

720

I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel. Speak to them, saying, At evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread. And ye shall know that I am LORD your God.

721

And if a man comes presumptuously upon his neighbor, to kill him with guile, thou shall take him from my altar, that he may die.

722

And LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the sons of Israel, for the sons of Israel went out with a high hand.

723

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.

724

And it came to pass, when Moses entered into the tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the door of the tent, and [LORD] spoke with Moses.

725

And the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved upon the tablets.

726

And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead. And Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the sons of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts. And it shall always be upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before

727

And Aaron shall burn in it incense of sweet spices. Every morning, when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn it.

728

If the theft is found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.

729

And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skilful workman.

730

It is a night to be much observed to LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night of LORD, to be much observed of all the sons of Israel throughout their generations.

731

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

732

If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns, so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed, he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

733

For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for raiment, [or] for any manner of lost thing, of which a man says, This is it, the case of both parties shall come before God. He whom God shall condemn s

734

Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, He brought them forth for evil, to kill them on the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and relent of this evil against thy people.

735

Pharaoh's chariots and his army he has cast into the sea, and his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.

736

Seven days thou shall eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to LORD.

737

Now I know that LORD is greater than all gods, yea, in the thing wherein they dealt proudly against them.

739

If a man shall deliver to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house, if the thief be found, he shall pay double.

740

and unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened mingled with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil, of fine wheaten flour shall thou make them,

741

The first of the first-fruits of thy ground thou shall bring to the house of LORD thy God. Thou shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

742

And thou shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:

743

If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall let his beast loose, and it feeds in another man's field, he shall make restitution of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard.

744

And he made the laver of brass, and the base of it of brass, from the mirrors of the women who fasted, who fasted by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, in the day in which he set it up.

745

that thou shall set apart to LORD all that opens the womb. And every firstling which thou have that comes of a beast, the males shall be LORD's.

746

And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

747

One law shall be to him who is home-born, and to the stranger who sojourns among you.

748

And thou shall gird them with sashes, Aaron and his sons, and bind head-coverings on them. And they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute. And thou shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

749

And all the wise-hearted men among them who 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 made them.

750

And Aaron and his sons thou shall bring to the door of the tent of meeting, and shall wash them with water.

751

But if thou shall indeed hearken to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to thine enemies, and an adversary to thine adversaries.

752

And he said to the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again to you. And, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a case, let him come near to them.

753

no hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through, whether it be beast or man, he shall not live. When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mount.

754

Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the Sabbath day.

755

And it shall be, when LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, as he swore to thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it to thee,

756

And the snuffers of it, and the snuff dishes of it, shall be of pure gold.

757

If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her sons shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

758

And Moses said, [This shall be] when LORD shall give you flesh to eat in the evening, and bread to the full in the morning, for that LORD hears your murmurings which ye murmur against him. And what are we? Your murmurings are not a

759

and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of LORD, for he hears your murmurings against LORD. And what are we, that ye murmur against us?

760

And Aaron said to them, Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.

761

Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before lord LORD.

762

And thou shall slay the ram, and thou shall take its blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar.

763

The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.

764

And thou shall make for them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness, from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach.

765

And if a man does not lay in wait, but God delivers [him] into his hand, then I will appoint for thee a place where he shall flee.

766

Thou did blow with thy wind, the sea covered them. They sank as lead in the mighty waters.

767

And the appearance of the glory of LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the sons of Israel.

768

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.

769

And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, This is the thing which LORD commanded, saying,

770

And Moses returned to LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made gods of gold for them.

771

And thou shall weave the coat in checker work of fine linen. And thou shall make a miter of fine linen. And thou shall make a sash, the work of the embroiderer.

772

For the cloud of LORD 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.

773

And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which LORD commanded him.

774

And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.

775

And when Aaron saw [this], he built an altar before it. And Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow shall be a feast to LORD.

776

And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them.

777

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

778

And Moses alone shall come near to LORD, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him.

779

And the incense which thou shall make, ye shall not make for yourselves according to the composition of it. It shall be to thee holy for LORD.

780

And I will send a [heavenly] agent before thee, and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite--

781

And Moses said to him, If thy presence go not, do not carry us up from here.

782

And it shall be upon Aaron to minister. And the sound of it shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before LORD, and when he comes out, that he does not die.

783

And Pharaoh will say of the sons of Israel, They are entangled in the land; the wilderness has shut them in.

784

But when Moses went in before LORD to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out. And he came out, and spoke to the sons of Israel that which he was commanded.

785

And in the greatness of thine excellency thou overthrow those who rise up against thee. Thou send forth thy wrath, it consumes them as stubble.

786

And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it upon the water, and made the sons of Israel drink of it.

787

And thou shall put the mercy-seat above upon the ark. And in the ark thou shall put the testimony that I shall give thee.

789

And for Aaron's sons thou shall make coats. And thou shall make for them sashes, and head-coverings thou shall make for them, for glory and for beauty.

790

Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and [a man] calls thee and thou eat of his sacrifice,

791

Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days, and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy borders.

792

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.

793

If the owner of it is with it, he shall not make it good. If it be a hired thing, it came for its hire.

794

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.

795

And he sent young men of the sons of Israel, who offered burnt-offerings, and sacrificed peace-offerings of oxen to LORD.

796

For how shall it now be known that I have found favor in thy sight, I and thy people? Is it not in that thou go with us, so that we are separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth?

797

if he rises again, and walks abroad upon his staff, then he who smote him shall be acquitted. Only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.

799

If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be bloodguiltiness for him. [A thief] shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

800

And the other lamb thou shall offer at evening, and shall do thereto according to the meal-offering of the morning, and according to the drink-offering of it, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to LORD.

801

And thou shall put the mercy-seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.

802

If she does not please her master, who has espoused her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no power to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.

803

And thou shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer. It shall be a holy anointing oil.

804

And thou shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shall hallow it, and all the furniture of it. And it shall be holy.

805

And thou shall set the table outside the veil, and the candlestick opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south. And thou shall put the table on the north side.

806

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.

807

Thou shall keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days thou shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib, for in the month Abib thou came out from Egypt.

808

Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before lord LORD, the God of Israel.

809

And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses into the wilderness where he was encamped, at the mount of God.

810

Thou shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread, neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.

811

And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

812

And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

813

And Moses' father-in-law said to him, The thing that thou do is not good.

814

And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.

815

Or if it be known that the ox was accustomed to gore in time past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead [beast] shall be his own.

816

and rams' skins dyed red, and sea-skins, and acacia wood,

817

And he laid not his hand upon the nobles of the sons of Israel. And they beheld God, and ate and drank.

818

If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he be married, then his wife shall go out with him.

819

And they came, everyone whose heart stirred him up, and everyone whom his spirit made willing, [and] brought LORD's offering, for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all the service of it, and for the holy garments.

820

Thou will surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee, for the thing is too heavy for thee. Thou are not able to perform it thyself alone.

821

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 stiff-necked people, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.

822

And for the gate of the court shall be a screen of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer, their pillars four, and their sockets four.

823

And I will dwell among the sons of Israel, and will be their God.

824

And thou shall put them upon Aaron thy brother, and upon his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

825

in the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the testimony. Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before LORD. It shall be a statute forever throughout their generations on the behalf of the

826

and thou take of their daughters to thy sons, and their daughters play the harlot after their gods, and make thy sons play the harlot after their gods.

827

And thou shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.

828

They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made for them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of th

829

Thou shall also make a laver of brass, and the base of it of brass for washing. And thou shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and thou shall put water in it.

830

And Moses rose up, and Joshua his minister, and Moses went up onto the mount of God.

831

And the cherubim shall spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy-seat.

832

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

833

And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

834

Seven days thou shall make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it. And the altar shall be most holy. Whatever touches the altar shall be holy.

835

and thou shall burn the whole ram upon the altar. It is a burnt-offering to LORD. It is a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to LORD.

836

And the firstling of a donkey thou shall redeem with a lamb, and if thou will not redeem it, then thou shall break its neck. All the first-born of thy sons thou shall redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

837

a beka a head, [that is], half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for everyone who passed over to those who were numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred and three thousand and five hundred and fifty me

838

And Moses said to Aaron, What did this people do to thee, that thou have brought a great sin upon them?

839

And he has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

840

Take ye from among you an offering to LORD. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it--LORD's offering: gold, and silver, and brass,

841

And he hewed two tablets of stone like the first. And Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to mount Sinai, as LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand two tablets of stone.

842

And if he espouses her to his son, he shall deal with her according to the manner of daughters.

843

And the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments from mount Horeb onward.

845

It shall be a continual burnt-offering throughout your generations at the door of the tent of meeting before LORD, where I will meet with you, to speak to thee there.

846

And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before LORD throughout your generations.

847

And Moses told his father-in-law all that LORD had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how LORD delivered them.

848

And thou shall overlay it with pure gold. Inside and outside thou shall overlay it, and shall make upon it a crown of gold round about.

849

And LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shall stand upon the rock.

850

And thou shall make a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer.

851

The one lamb thou shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb thou shall offer at evening.

852

And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him.

853

Thus was finished all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. And the sons of Israel did according to all that LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

854

Whoever shall make like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people.

855

He has filled them with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workmanship, of the engraver, and of the skilful workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of thos

856

And I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee:

857

And thou shall anoint with it the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony,

858

Ye shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt-offering, nor meal-offering. And ye shall pour no drink-offering on it.

859

oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,

860

Also thou shall take from the ram the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat that covers the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration),

861

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.

862

And he made the candlestick of pure gold. He made the candlestick of beaten work, even its base, and its shaft, its cups, its knobs, and its flowers, were of one piece with it.

863

And thou shall take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him. And he shall be hallowed, and his

864

And thou shall put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

865

On the first day of the first month thou shall raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

866

And Joshua weakened Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

867

And thou shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold, and thou shall cast five sockets of brass for them.

868

And Moses said to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to inquire of God.

869

and thou shall anoint them, as thou anointed their father, that they may minister to me in the priest's office. And their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

870

And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart LORD had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it,

871

If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep, and it dies, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it,

872

Thou shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread, nor shall the sacrifice of the feast of the Passover be left to the morning.

873

And LORD said to Moses, Say to the sons of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked 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 to t

874

And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was raised up.

875

And when Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou do to the people? Why do thou sit by thyself, and all the people stand about thee from morning to evening?

876

And thou shall make the horns of it upon the four corners of it. The horns of it shall be of one piece with it, and thou shall overlay it with brass.

877

But the wheat and the rye were not smitten, for they were not grown up.

878

And Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel, At evening, then ye shall know that LORD has brought you out from the land of Egypt,

879

The sons of Israel brought a freewill-offering to LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which LORD had commanded to be made by Moses.

880

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

881

And if a man borrows anything of his neighbor, and it be hurt, or die, the owner of it not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.

882

And thou shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four feet of it. And two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

883

And the skillfully woven band, which is upon it, with which to gird it on, shall be like the work of it [and] of the same piece, of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

884

And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted, [and] brought brooches, and earrings, and signet-rings, and armlets, all jewels of gold, even every man who offered an offering of gold to LORD.

885

With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, thou shall engrave the two stones, according to the names of the sons of Israel. Thou shall make them to be enclosed in settings of gold.

887

And the silver from those who were numbered of the congregation was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary,

888

and the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be enclosed in gold in their settings.

889

And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, Come near before LORD, for he has heard your murmurings.

890

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.

891

And thou shall take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and thou shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar.

892

According to all that LORD commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did all the work.

893

A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat of it.

894

And there I will meet with the sons of Israel, and [the tent] shall be sanctified by my glory.

895

And thou shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the miter. It shall be upon the forefront of the miter.

896

And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands to LORD, and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.

897

And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which LORD had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.

898

And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.

899

When they have a matter, they come to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor. And I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.

900

And when Moses was done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.

901

And thou shall make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sea-skins above.

902

And thou shall bring the bullock before the tent of meeting. And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock,

903

And thou shall make curtains of goats' [hair] for a tent over the tabernacle. Eleven curtains thou shall make them.

904

And when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.

905

The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of LORD, to make atonement for your souls.

906

the oath of LORD shall be between them both, whether he has not put his hand to his neighbor's goods. And the owner of it shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.

907

And thou shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.

908

And this is the offering which ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and brass,

909

But the flesh of the bullock, and its skin, and it dung, thou shall burn with fire outside the camp. It is a sin-offering.

910

A cubit shall be the length of it, and a cubit the breadth of it (it shall be foursquare), and two cubits shall be the height of it. The horns of it shall be of one piece with it.

911

And if he does not do these three things to her, then she shall go out for nothing, without money.

912

And all the women who were wise-hearted spun with their hands, and brought that which they had spun: the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen.

913

And thou shall take all the fat that covers the inwards, and the caul upon the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar.

914

Of a talent of pure gold shall it be made, with all these vessels.

915

And thou shall sanctify the breast of the wave-offering, and the thigh of the heave-offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons,

916

It shall be foursquare [and] double, a span shall be the length of it, and a span the breadth of it.

917

And the holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them.

918

And let every wise-hearted man among you come, and make all that LORD has commanded:

919

For I will cast out nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders. Neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou go up to appear before LORD thy God three times in the year.

920

And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they go in to the tent of meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place, that they not bear iniquity, and die. It shall be a statute forever to him

921

And thou shall set the miter upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the miter.

922

And all the people broke off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.

923

And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereupon, and the glory of LORD filled the tabernacle.

924

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

925

The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains shall have one measure.

926

And thou shall take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

927

And thou shall take the atonement money from the sons of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting, that it may be a memorial for the sons of Israel before LORD, to make atonement for your souls.

928

And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves today to LORD, yea, every man against his son, and against his brother, that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.

929

And the stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name; they shall be for the twelve tribes.

930

And thou shall put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, with which to bear the ark.

931

Thou shall make thee no molten gods.

932

and the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond,

933

And thou shall make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling, and likewise thou shall make in the edge of the curtain that is outmost in the second coupling.

934

And he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit was the length of it, and a cubit the breadth of it, foursquare, and two cubits was the height of it. The horns of it were of one piece with it.

935

And he said to Moses, I, thy father-in-law Jethro, have come to thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.

936

And the pillars of it shall be twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass. The hooks of the pillars and their bands [shall be] of silver.

937

And all the congregation of the sons of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

938

And Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had done it, as LORD had commanded, even so they had done it. And Moses blessed them.

939

And I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it to me, and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.

940

but every man's servant who is bought for money, when thou have circumcised him, then he shall eat of it.

941

and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin.

942

And thou shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to another with the clasps. And the tabernacle shall be one [whole].

943

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

944

And he said, It is not the voice of those who shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of those who cry for being overcome, but the noise of those who sing do I hear.

945

But if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it.

946

And thou shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tent of meeting, and shall wash them with water.

947

And thou shall make its pots to take away its ashes, and its shovels, and its basins, and its flesh-hooks, and its firepans; all the vessels of it thou shall make of brass.

948

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.

949

When they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die, or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to LORD.

950

And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, after the art of the perfumer.

951

And thou shall make two rings of gold, and thou shall put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge of it, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.

952

And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys,

953

And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.

954

And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it, as LORD commanded Moses.

955

And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

956

and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst,

957

And it came to pass the selfsame day, that LORD brought the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

958

And he made the breastplate, the work of the skilful workman, like the work of the ephod, of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

959

And thou shall take the breast of Aaron's ram of consecration, and wave it for a wave-offering before LORD, and it shall be thy portion.

960

And they spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which LORD commanded to make.

961

And he made the court. For the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits,

962

And make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end; of one piece with the mercy-seat ye shall make the cherubim on the two ends of it.

963

And he has put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

964

and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as [their] portion forever from the sons of Israel, for it is a heave-offering. And it shall be a heave-offering from the sons of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, even their

965

And thou shall make for it a grating of network of brass, and upon the network thou shall make four brazen rings in the four corners of it.

966

And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord grow hot. Thou know the people, that they are [set] on evil.

967

And thou shall make staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

968

And thou shall put upon Aaron the holy garments, and thou shall anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

969

And all the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the tent. And all the people rose up and worshipped, every man at his tent door.

970

All that opens the womb is mine, and all thy cattle that is male, the firstlings of cow and sheep.

971

And be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning to mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me on the top of the mount.

972

Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering of LORD.

973

All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

974

And he made to it a border of a handbreadth round about, and made a golden crown to the border of it round about.

975

And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned, and no man put his ornaments on him.

976

If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.

977

and thou shall put the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and shall wave them for a wave-offering before LORD.

978

And he made the table of acacia wood, two cubits the length of it, and a cubit the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.

979

Thus did Moses. According to all that LORD commanded him, so did he.

980

And thou shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

981

Then thou shall kill the ram, and take of its blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right fo

982

And they shall know that I am LORD their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them. I am LORD their God.

983

and the miter of fine linen, and the goodly head-coverings of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen,

984

Thou shall make it hollow with planks. As it has been shown thee on the mount, so shall they make it.

985

And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet there.

986

And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skilful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in fine linen.

987

So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die. And it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.

988

And for the hinder part of the tabernacle westward thou shall make six boards.

989

And he raised 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.

990

three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knob and a flower, and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knob and a flower, so for the six branches going out of the candlestick.

991

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

992

And thou shall make to it a border of a handbreadth round about, and thou shall make a golden crown to the border of it round about.

993

And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats' [hair].

994

onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.

995

and the finely wrought garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,

996

For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.

997

and the sash of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of the embroiderer, as LORD commanded Moses.

998

six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, according to their birth.

999

and one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before LORD,

1000

And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.
