These are the names of the children of Levi in their generations: Gershon, Kohath and Merari. And Levi lived a hundred and thirty seven years.

231

But when Pharaoh saw that he had rest given him, he hardened his heart and hearkened not unto them, as the LORD had said.

232

And they shall take of the blood and strike on the two side posts and on the upper doorpost of the houses, wherein they eat him.

233

And they gathered them together upon heaps: so that the land stank of them.

234

And the pillar of the cloud never departed by day nor the pillar of fire by night out of the people's sight.

235

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

236

For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath fared foul with this folk, and yet thou hast not delivered thy people at all."

237

If one man's ox hurt another's that he die: then they shall sell the live ox and divide the money, and the dead ox also they shall divide.

238

There is no straw given unto thy servants, and yet they say unto us, 'make brick.' And lo, thy servants are beaten, and thy people is foul intreated."

239

And he answered, "Who hath made thee a ruler or a judge over us? Intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian?" Then Moses feared and said, "Of a surety the thing is known."

240

And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, "Return again into Egypt for they are dead which went about to kill thee."

241

And Moses was content to dwell with the man. And he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter which bare a son,

242

and he called him Gershom: for he said, "I have been a stranger in a strange land." And she bare yet another son, whom he called Eliezer saying, "The God of my father is mine helper, and hath rid me out of the hands of Pharaoh."

243

And Moses spake unto Aaron, "Take a cruse and put a gomer full of Manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD to be kept for yourhildren after you,

244

and I will send hornets before thee, and they shall drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites and the Hittites before thee.

245

At the last they came to Marah: but they could not drink of the waters for bitterness, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of the place was called Marah.

246

So went Moses and Aaron and gathered all the elders of the children of Israel.

247

so that no man saw another, neither rose up from the place where he was by the space of three days, but all the children of Israel had light where they dwelled.

248

And whether he hath gored a son or a daughter, he shall be served after the same manner.

249

Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning, for he will come unto the water, and stand thou upon the river's brink against he come, and the rod which turned to a serpent take in thine hand.

250

But if it be a servant or a maid that the ox hath gored, then he shall give unto their master the sum of thirty sicles, and the ox shall be stoned.

251

If he be set to a sum of money, then he shall give for the deliverance of his life, according to all that is put unto him.

252

The children of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel. And Kohath lived a hundred and thirty three years.

253

And Aaron told all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the miracles in the sight of the people,

254

These be the heads of their father's houses. The children of Reuben the eldest son of Israel are these: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, Carmi, these be the householders of Reuben.

255

and went between the host of the Egyptians and the host of Israel. It was a dark cloud, and gave light by night: so that all the night long the one could not come at the other.

256

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt, and after that he will let you go hence. And when he letteth you go, he shall utterly drive you hence.

257

I will send my fear before thee and will kill all the people whither thou shalt go. And I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee,

258

Whosoever maketh like that, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall perish from among his people.'"

259

And Moses said, "This is that which the LORD commandeth: fill a gomer of it, that it may be kept for your children after you: that they may see the bread wherewith he fed you in wilderness, when he had brought you out of the land of Egypt.

260

For now I will stretch out my hand and will smite thee and thy people with pestilence: so that thou shalt perish from the earth.

261

But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let them go.

262

Then said the LORD unto Aaron, "Go meet Moses in the wilderness." And he went and met him in the mount of God and kissed him.

263

And he said, "Cast it on the ground." And it turned unto a serpent. And Moses ran away from it.

264

The LORD spake unto Moses, "Go unto Pharaoh and tell him, 'Thus sayeth the LORD: let my people go, that they may serve me.

265

And the people rested the seventh day.

266

And Amram took Jochebed his niece to wife which bare him Aaron and Moses. And Amram lived a hundred and thirty seven years.

267

And he answered, "Idle are ye idle, and therefore ye say, 'Let us go and do sacrifice unto the LORD.'

268

And say unto him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee saying: let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: but hitherto thou wouldest not hear.

269

And see that thou make them after the fashion that was showed thee in the mount."

270

Our cattle therefore shall go with us, and there shall not one hoof be left behind, for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God. Moreover, we cannot know wherewith we shall serve the LORD, until we come thither."

271

And Moses answered, "Thou must give us also offerings and burnt offerings for to sacrifice unto the LORD our God.

272

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Put forth thine hand and take it by the tail." And he put forth his hand and caught it, and it became a rod again in his hand.

273

Go therefore and work, for there shall no straw be given you, and yet see that ye deliver the whole tale of brick."

274

as the LORD commanded Moses." And Aaron laid it up before the testimony there to be kept.

275

And yet Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may set mine hand upon Egypt and bring out mine armies, even my people the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, with great judgments.

276

and that thou tell in the audience of thy son and of thy son's son, the pageants which I have played in Egypt, and the miracles which I have done among them: that ye may know how that I am the LORD."

277

And their complaint came up unto God from the labour. And God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

278

And Moses said, "Thus sayeth the LORD, 'About midnight will I go out among the Egyptians,

279

And the enchanters assayed likewise with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. And the lice were both upon man and beast.

280

No man's flesh shall be anointed therewith: neither shall ye make any other after the making of it for it is holy, see therefore that ye take it for holy:

281

And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink: so that it shall grieve the Egyptians to drink of the water of the river.'"

282

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh, for he will come unto the water: and say unto him, 'Thus sayeth the LORD: let my people go, that they may serve me.

283

And Moses said, "Let it be as thou hast said: I will see thy face no more."

284

And the shepherds came and drove them away: But Moses stood up and helped them and watered their sheep.

285

And Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice unto the LORD your God in the wilderness: only go not far away, and see that ye pray for me."

286

only in the land of Goshen where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.

287

And Pharaoh said unto him, "Get thee from me and take heed to thyself that thou see my face no more. For whensoever thou comest in my sight, thou shalt die."

288

See that ye eat not thereof sodden in water, but roast with fire: both head, feet, and purtenance together.

289

Then said the enchanters unto Pharaoh, "It is the finger of God." Neverthelater, Pharaoh's heart was hardened and he regarded them not, as the LORD had said.

290

If an ox gore a man or a woman that they die, then the ox shall be stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten: and his master shall go quit.

291

When the officers of the children of Israel saw themself in shrewd case - in that he said, 'ye shall minish nothing of your daily making of brick' -

292

Did not we tell thee this in Egypt saying, 'Let us be in rest and serve the Egyptians?' For it had been better for us to have served the Egyptians, than for to die in the wilderness."

293

And the LORD said unto Moses, "I will put him out of my book that hath sinned against me.

294

And they did so. And Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and smote the dust of the earth, and it turned to lice both in man and beast, so that all the dust of the land turned to lice, throughout all the land of Egypt.

295

Then said the king of Egypt unto them, "Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their work? Get you unto your labour."

296

And they answered, "There was an Egyptian that delivered us from the shepherds, and so drew us water and watered the sheep."

297

And the LORD spake unto Moses, "Say unto Aaron, 'Take thy staff and stretch out thine hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, rivers, ponds and all pools of water, that they may be blood, and that there may be blood in all the land of Egypt: both in vessels of wood and also of stone.'"

298

and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die: even from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth on his seat, unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is in the mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle.

299

And among all the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, nor yet man or beast: that ye may know, how the LORD putteth a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.'

300

And he said unto his daughters, "Where is he? Why have ye left the man? Go call him that he may eat bread."

301

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Go unto Pharaoh and tell him, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God of the Hebrews: send out my people that they may serve me.

302

And Moses and Aaron did even as the LORD commanded. And he lift up the staff and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, and all the water that was in the river, turned into blood.

303

But I will separate the same day the land of Goshen where my people are, so that there shall no flies be there: that thou mayest know that I am the LORD upon the earth.

304

Then Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, "Thus sayeth the LORD God of the Hebrews, 'How long shall it be, or thou wilt submit thyself unto me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.

305

And Aaron took Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab and sister of Nahshon, to wife: which bare him Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

306

If thou wilt not let my people go: behold, tomorrow will I bring grasshoppers into thy land,

307

If thou wilt not let them go, behold: I will smite all thy land with frogs.

308

The children of Merari are these: Mahli and Mushi: these are the kindreds of Levi in their generations.

309

Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,

310

And they shall fill thy houses and all thy servants' houses, and the houses of all the Egyptians; after such a manner as neither thy fathers nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the time they were upon the earth unto this day.'" And he turned himself about, and went out from Pharaoh.

311

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Pharaoh shall not regard you, that many wonders may be wrought in the land of Egypt."

312

Then take the ram that is the full offering and seethe his flesh in a holy place.

313

And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he made the children of Israel swear, saying, "God will surely visit you, take my bones therefore away hence with you."

315

And the LORD did even so; and there came noisome flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses and into all the land of Egypt: so that the land was marred with flies.

316

And the LORD gat the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, Moses was very great in the land of Egypt: both in the sight of Pharaoh, and also in the sight of the people.

317

But bid the people that every man borrow of his neighbor and every woman of her neighboress: jewels of silver and jewels of gold."

319

And I will put a division between my people and thine. And even tomorrow shall this miracle be done.'"

320

And Moses answered, "We must go with young and old: yea and with our sons and with our daughters, and with our sheep and oxen must we go. For we must hold a feast unto the LORD."

321

the owner of the pit shall make it good and give money unto their master, and the dead beast shall be his.

322

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

323

These are the laws which thou shalt set before them:

324

And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, "How long shall this fellow thus plague us? Let the men go that they may serve the LORD their God; or else wilt thou see Egypt first destroyed?"

325

The children of Izhar: Korah, Nepheg and Zichri.

326

I know not the LORD, neither will let Israel go." And they said, "The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he smite us either with pestilence or with sword."

327

And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD which he had sent by him, and all the tokens which he had charged him withal.

328

And he let him go. She said 'a bloody husband' because of the circumcision.

329

If it be so that thou stoppest my people, that thou wilt not let them go:

330

The children of Korah: Assir, Elkanah and Abiasaph: these are the kindreds of the Korahites.

331

and they shall cover the face of the earth that it cannot be seen. And they shall eat the residue, which remaineth unto you and escaped the hail. And they shall eat all your green trees upon the field.

332

And Pharaoh said furthermore, "Behold, there is much people in the land, and ye make them play and let their work stand."

333

"But and if any misfortune follow, then shall he pay life for life;

334

If thou wilt not let my people go, behold: I will send all manner flies both upon thee and thy servants, and thy people, and into thy houses. And the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of flies, and the ground whereon they are.

335

and the hangings of the court with his pillars and sockets, and the hanging to the court gate, his boards and pins, and all the ordinance that serveth to the habitation of the tabernacle of witness,

336

I will not cast them out in one year, lest the land grow to a wilderness: and the beasts of the field multiply upon thee.

337

The children of Uzziel: Mishael, Elzaphan and Zithri.

339

But I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that I may multiply my miracles and my wonders in the land of Egypt.

340

And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt: so that there was never none like, nor shall be.

341

Moreover, I made an covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan: the land of their pilgrimage wherein they were strangers.

342

And as many as feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their beasts flee to house:

343

Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, "Go and do sacrifice unto your God in the land."

344

And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I have stretched forth my hand upon Egypt, and have brought out the children of Israel from among them."

345

And Moses said unto the people, "Fear not, for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be among you that ye sin not."

346

And thou shalt make the tunicle unto the ephod, altogether of jacinth.

347

Send therefore and fetch home thy beasts and all that thou hast in the field. For upon all the men and beasts which are found in the field and not brought home, shall the hail fall, and they shall die.'"

348

And Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty three when they spake unto Pharaoh.

349

And Eleazar, Aaron's son, took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife: which bare him Phinehas: these be the principal fathers of the Levites in their kindreds.

351

And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and fall before me and say, 'Get thee out and all the people that are under thee!' And then will I depart." And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.

352

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

353

If thou take thy neighbor's raiment to pledge, see that thou deliver it unto him again by that the sun go down.

354

When Pharaoh had let the people go, God carried them not through the land of the Philistines, though it were a nigh way. For God said, "The people might haply repent when they see war, and so turn again to Egypt."

355

And the enchanters of Egypt did likewise with their enchantments, so that Pharaoh's heart was hardened and did not regard them, as the LORD had said.

356

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

357

And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, because the Egyptians keep them in bondage, and have remembered my covenant.

358

And the river shall scrale with frogs, and they shall come up and go into thine house and into thy chamber where thou sleepest and upon thy bed, and into the houses of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and upon thy victuals which thou hast in store.

359

And he said unto them, "Shall it be so? The LORD be with you! Should I let you go, and your children also? Take heed, for ye have some mischief in hand.

361

And all the company of the children of Israel went on their journeys from the wilderness of Sin at the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: where was no water for the people to drink.

362

And in the day when the LORD spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt,

363

These are that Moses and Aaron which spake to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that they might bring the children of Israel out of Egypt.

364

and chose active men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, captains over thousands, over hundreds, over fifty and over ten.

365

Thy fruits, whether they be dry or moist, see thou keep not back. Thy firstborn son thou shalt give me:

366

and smote off their chariot wheels and cast them down to the ground. Then said the Egyptians, "Let us flee from Israel, for the LORD fighteth for them against us."

367

And then Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh, and he said unto them, "Go and serve the LORD your God, but who are they that shall go?"

368

And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And when Moses turned again in to the host, the lad Joshua, his servant, the son of Nun, departed not out of the tabernacle.

369

If a man smite his servant or his maid in the eye and put it out, he shall let them go free for the eye's sake.

370

And the sorcerers did likewise with their sorcery, and the frogs came up upon the land of Egypt.

371

We will therefore go three days' journey into the desert and sacrifice unto the LORD our God as he hath commanded us."

372

And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of his face shone with beams: but Moses put a covering upon his face, until he went in to commune with him.

373

And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, "Take your hands full of ashes out of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it up into the air in the sight of Pharaoh,

374

And Moses said, "Behold, I will go out from thee and pray unto the LORD, and the flies shall depart from Pharaoh and from his servants and from his people tomorrow. But let Pharaoh from henceforth deceive no more, that he would not let the people go to sacrifice unto the LORD."

375

These are that Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, "Carry the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, with their armies."

376

and they that regarded not the word of the LORD, left their servants and their beasts in the field.

377

And Moses answered, "It is not mete so to do. For we must offer unto the LORD our God, that which is an abomination unto the Egyptians: behold shall we sacrifice that which is an abomination unto the Egyptians before their eyes, and shall they not stone us?

379

And they made a hanging for the tabernacle door: of jacinth, scarlet, purple and twined bysse of needle work,

380

And thou shalt set upon the table, shewbread before me always.

381

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

382

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

383

And Moses stretched out his rod unto heaven, and the LORD thundered and hailed, so that the fire ran along upon the ground. And the LORD so hailed in the land of Egypt

384

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

385

And the LORD spake unto Moses, "Say unto Aaron, 'Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, rivers, and ponds. And bring up frogs upon the land of Egypt.'"

386

And it continued a week after that the LORD had smote the river.

387

The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei in their kindreds.

388

Thus the LORD delivered Israel the selfsame day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seaside.

389

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Stretch forth thine hand unto heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt: upon man and beast, and upon all the herbs of the field in the field of Egypt."

390

And Pharaoh turned himself and went into his house, and set not his heart thereunto.

391

And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, even in the top of the hill, and called Moses up into the top of the hill. And Moses went up.

392

And it happened in these days when Moses was waxed great, that he went out unto his brethren and looked on their burdens, and spied an Egyptian smiting one of his brethren, an Hebrew.

393

And the children of Israel went in through the midst of the sea upon the dry ground. And the water was a wall unto them, both on their right hand and on their left hand.

394

And the time of the dwelling of the children of Israel, which they dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

395

And the LORD did as Moses had said, and took away the flies from Pharaoh and from his servants and from his people, so that there remained not one.

396

he spake unto him saying, "I am the LORD, see that thou speak unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt all that I say unto thee."

397

"Speak unto the children of Israel and say, 'In any wise see that ye keep my Sabbath, for it shall be a sign between me and you in your generations for to know, that I the LORD do sanctify you.

398

And the hail smote in the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast. And the hail smote all the herbs of the field and broke all the trees of the field:

399

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Take unto thee sweet spices: stacte, onycha, sweet galbanum and pure frankincense, of each like much:

400

And Moses answered before the LORD, "I am of uncircumcised lips, how shall Pharaoh then give me audience?"

401

And Moses said unto the people, "Fear ye not, but stand still and behold how the LORD shall save you this day: For as ye see the Egyptians this day, shall ye see them no more forever till the world's end.

402

And Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, "I have now sinned, the LORD is righteous and I and my people are wicked.

403

And the middle bar shall go along through the midst of the boards and bar them together from the one end unto the other.

404

And the king of Egypt said unto the midwives of the Hebrews' women, of which the one's name was Shiphrah and the other Puah,

405

And the frogs shall come upon thee and on thy people and upon all thy servants.'"

406

Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done unto Moses and to Israel his people; how that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt.

407

And God spake unto Moses, saying unto him, "I am the LORD,

408

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

409

And Moses said unto him, "As soon as I am out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD, and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail: that thou mayest know, how that the earth is the LORD's.

410

behold, the hand of the LORD shall be upon thy cattle which thou hast in the field, upon horses, asses, camels, oxen, and sheep, with a mighty great pestilence.

411

Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them.

412

But go, and bring the people unto the land which I said unto thee, 'Behold, mine angel shall go before thee.' Neverthelater in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them."

413

And take thou unto thee, Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me: both Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

414

For that is his coverlet only: even the raiment for his skin wherein he sleepeth: or else he will cry unto me and I will hear him, for I am merciful.

415

And when the LORD had made an end of communing with Moses upon the mount Sinai, he gave him two tables of witness: which were of stone and written with the finger of God.

416

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

418

When now Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, the LORD carried away the sea with a strong east wind that blew all night, and made the sea dry land and the water divided itself.

420

but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God, in it thou shalt do no manner work: neither thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, neither thy manservant nor thy maidservant, neither thy cattle neither yet the stranger that is within thy gates.

421

And he said, "I will make all my good go before thee, and I will be called in this name Jehovah before thee, and will show mercy to whom I show mercy, and will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

422

And let them judge the people at all seasons: If there be any great matter, let them bring that unto thee, and let them judge all small causes them selves, and ease thyself, and let them bear with thee.

423

And God spake further unto Moses, "Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, 'the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob hath sent me unto you': this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial throughout all generations.

424

And the third day in the morning there was thunder, and lightning and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the horn waxed exceeding loud, and all the people that was in the host was afraid.

425

'Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians and how I took you up upon Eagles' wings, and have brought you unto myself.

426

And the whole multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness,

427

And he said, "I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

428

and it shall turn to dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall make swelling sores with blains both on man and beast in all the land of Egypt."

429

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

430

And he said, "I beseech thee, show me thy glory."

432

The LORD is my strength and my song, and is become my salvation. He is my God, and I will glorify him! He is my father's God, and I will lift him up on high!

433

"Sanctify unto me all the firstborn that open all manner matrices among the children of Israel, as well of men as of beasts: for they are mine."

434

And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of him, and the bread that is in the basket: even in the door of the tabernacle of witness.

435

And Pharaoh sent to wete: but there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. Notwithstanding, the heart of Pharaoh hardened, and he would not let the people go.

437

But the LORD shall make a division between the beasts of the Israelites, and the beasts of the Egyptians: so that there shall nothing die of all that pertaineth to the children of Israel.'"

438

Pray ye unto the LORD, that the thunder of God and hail may cease, and I will let you go, and ye shall tarry no longer."

439

And Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed unto the LORD.

441

And the blood shall be unto you a token, upon the houses wherein ye are; for when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

442

that there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, so grievous that there was none such in all the land of Egypt, since people inhabited it.

443

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

444

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Behold, I have made thee Pharaoh's God, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.

445

And it chanced by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him and would have killed him.

446

And Moses went up unto God. And the LORD called to him out of the mountain saying, "Thus say unto the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel,

447

And Moses said unto the LORD, "O my Lord. I am not eloquent, no not in times past and namely since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow mouthed and slow tongued."

448

Also, if he smite out his servant's or his maid's tooth, he shall let them go out free for the tooth's sake.

449

"Take principal spices: of pure myrrh five hundred sicles, of sweet cinnamon half so much, two hundred and fifty sicles:

450

Then Moses wrote all the words of the LORD and rose up early and made an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars according to the number of the twelve tribes of Israel,

451

And Moses cried unto the LORD, and he showed him a tree: and he cast it into the water, and they waxed sweet. There he made them an ordinance and a law, and there he tempted them,

452

Then said the LORD unto Moses, "Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the water may come again upon the Egyptians; upon their chariots and horsemen."

453

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

455

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil: neither answer in a matter of plea that thou wouldest, to follow many, turn aside from the truth;

456

"If a man smite his servant or his maid with a staff that they die under his hand, it shall be avenged.

457

The LORD said unto Moses, "Wherefore criest thou unto me? Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward.

458

And in the morning watch, the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians out of the fiery and cloudy pillar, and troubled their host;

459

and the pillars of it were five with their knops, and overlaid the heads of them and the hoops with gold, with their five sockets of brass.

460

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

462

If thou wilt not let them go but wilt hold them still:

463

And when the LORD saw that he came for to see, he called unto him out of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses." And he answered, "Here am I."

465

Then said the LORD unto Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from heaven down to you, and let the people go out, and gather day by day, that I may prove them whether they will walk in my law or no.

466

But I know that thou and thy servants yet fear not the LORD God."

467

Moses answered and said, "See, they will not believe me nor hearken unto my voice: but will say, 'the LORD hath not appeared unto thee.'"

468

And Moses went down unto the people and told them.

469

Six days mayest thou labour and do all that thou hast to do:

470

When Moses' hands were weary, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat down thereon. And Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side and the other on the other side. And his hands were steady until the sun was down.

471

And I will make thy coasts from the reed sea unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river. I will deliver the inhabiters of the land into thine hand, and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

472

and keepest mercy in store for thousands, and forgivest wickedness, trespass and sin - for there is no man innocent before thee - and visitest the wickedness of the fathers upon the children and upon children's children, even unto the third and fourth generation."

473

And he set taskmasters over them, to keep them under with burdens. And they built unto Pharaoh treasure cities: Pithom and Rameses.

474

And he took the book of the covenant and read it in the audience of the people. And they said, "All that the LORD hath said, we will do and hear."

476

Then the LORD said, "I have surely seen the trouble of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry, which they have of their taskmasters. For I know their sorrow,

477

If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be as an usurer unto him, neither shalt oppress him with usury.

478

And thou shalt make none covenant with them nor with their gods.

479

And see that ye serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread and thy water, and I will take all sicknesses away from among you.

480

And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD and all the laws. And all the people answered with one voice and said, "All the words which the LORD hath said, will we do."

481

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Come up to me in to the hill and be there, and I will give thee tables of stone and a law and commandments, which I have written to teach them."

483

And Moses heard the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said,

484

And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights, and neither ate bread nor drank water. And he wrote in the tables the words of the covenant: even ten verses.

485

Then stretched forth Moses his hand over the sea, and it came again to his course early in the morning, and the Egyptians fled against it. Thus the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea,

488

And the angel of God which went before the host of Israel, removed and went behind them. And the clouden pillar that was before them removed and stood behind them

490

See: because the LORD hath given you a Sabbath, therefore he giveth you, the sixth day, bread for two days. Bide therefore every man at home, and let no man go out of his place the seventh day."

492

And he received them of their hands and fashioned it with a graver and made it a calf of molten metal. And they said, "This is thy God, O Israel, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt."

493

And they took their journey from Elim, and all the whole company of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which lieth between Elim and Sinai, the fifteenth day of the second month after that they were come out of the land of Egypt.

494

For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai and had pitched their tents in the wilderness. And there Israel pitched, before the mount.

495

and offer every day an ox for a sin offering for to reconcile with all. And thou shalt hallow the altar when thou reconcilest it, and shalt anoint it to sanctify it.

497

Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, 'I am the LORD, and will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and will rid you out of their bondage, and will deliver you with a stretched-out arm and with great judgments.

498

And Moses said unto the LORD, "See, thou saidest unto me, 'Lead this people forth,' but thou showest me not whom thou wilt send with me. And hast said moreover, 'I know thee by name and thou hast also found grace in my sight.'

499

This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, that ye gather every man enough for him to eat: a gomer full for a man according to the number of you, and gather every man for them which are in his tent."

500

Neither shall they dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be thy decay."

501

But the children of Israel went upon dry land in the midst of the sea, and the water was a wall unto them: both on the right hand of them and also on the left.

502

Moses brought Israel from the reed sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur. And they went three days long in the wilderness, and could find no water.

503

And thou shalt make an altar to burn cense therein, of sethim-wood:

504

And Pharaoh drew nigh, and when the children of Israel lift up their eyes and saw how the Egyptians followed after them, they were sore afraid and cried out unto the LORD.

505

The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt also not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

506

Moreover, seek out, among all the people, men of activity which fear God; and men that are true and hate covetousness: and make them heads over the people, captains over thousands, over hundreds, over fifty, and over ten.

507

If a thief be found breaking up and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him:

509

"And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure thick gold with his shaft, branches, bowls, knops and flowers proceeding thereout.

511

Behold, I will stand there before thee upon a rock in Horeb: and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out thereof, that the people may drink." And Moses did even so before the elders of Israel.

512

And at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his seat, unto the firstborn of the captive that was in prison, and all firstborn of the cattle.

513

And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water and seventy date trees, and they pitched there by the water.

514

And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there: and he called upon the name of the LORD.

515

And the cloud covered the tabernacle of witness, and the glory of the LORD filled the habitation:

516

And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke: because the LORD descended down upon it in fire. And the smoke thereof ascended up, as it had been the smoke of a kiln, and all the mount was exceeding fearful.

517

For it shall be a sign between me, and the children of Israel for ever. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.'"

518

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Write this for a remembrance in a book and tell it unto Joshua, for I will put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."

519

When thou meetest thine enemy's ox or ass going astray, thou shalt bring them to him again.

520

And they shall make an ark of sethim-wood; two cubits and a half long, a cubit and a half broad, and a cubit and a half high.

522

Six days thou shalt do thy work and the seventh day thou shalt keep holy day, that thine ox and thine ass may rest and the son of thy maid and the stranger may be refreshed.

523

And he said unto Moses, "Come unto the LORD: both thou and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel, and worship afar off."

524

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

525

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Hew the two tables of stone like unto the first that I may write in them the words which were in the first two tables, which thou brakest.

526

likewise shalt thou do of thine oxen and of thy sheep. Seven days it shall be with the dam, and the eighth day thou shalt give it me.

529

And the LORD talked with Moses, saying,

531

And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people and said, "Behold, this is the blood of the covenant which the LORD hath made with you upon all these words."

532

Thus took the children of Israel their journey from Rameses to Succoth; six hundred thousand men of foot, beside children.

534

And beneath upon the hem, thou shalt make pomegranates of Jacincth, of scarlet, and of purple round about the hem,

535

And when it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled, then Pharaoh's heart and all his servants turned unto the people and said, "Why have we this done, that we have let Israel go out of our service?"

537

And they shall eat them, because the atonement was made therewith to fill their hands and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.

539

The LORD said unto Moses, "Go unto Pharaoh; nevertheless I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants, that I might show these, my signs, amongst them,

540

Wherefore let the children of Israel keep the Sabbath, that they observe it throughout their generations, that it be an covenant forever.

541

Then let his master bring him unto the judges and set him to the door or the doorpost, and bore his ear through with an awl, and let him be his servant forever.

542

And the feast of Harvest, when thou reapest the first fruits of thy labors which thou hast sown in the field. And the feast of ingathering, in the end of the year: when thou hast gathered in thy labors out of the field.

543

And the children of Israel did according to the saying of Moses: and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment.

544

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

545

and did mete it with a gomer. And unto him that had gathered much remained nothing over, and unto him that had gathered little was there no lack: but every man had gathered sufficient for his eating.

546

And thou shalt make a veil of jacinth, of scarlet, purple and twined bysse, and shalt make it of broidered work and full of cherubims.

547

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

548

And this day shall be unto you a remembrance, and ye shall keep it holy unto the LORD: even throughout your generations after you shall ye keep it holy day, that it be a custom forever.

549

And make two cherubims of thick gold on the two ends of the mercy seat;

550

And thou shalt hang up the veil with rings, and shall bring in within the veil, the ark of witness. And the veil shall divide the holy from the most holy.

551

And the LORD said unto him, "Who hath made man's mouth, or who hath made the dumb or the deaf, the seeing or the blind? Have not I, the LORD?

552

and saw the God of Israel, and under his feet as it were a brick work of sapphire, and as it were the fashion of heaven when it is clear,

553

Then the LORD said unto Moses, "Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt,

554

"There I will meet thee and will commune with thee from upon the mercy seat from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of witness, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

558

"And command the children of Israel that they give the pure oil olive beaten for the lights to pour always into the lamps.

559

And thou shalt make the breastlap of example with broidered work: even after the work of the ephod shalt thou make it: of gold, jacinth, scarlet, purple and twined bysse shalt thou make it.

560

If the ox were wont to run at men in time past and it hath been told his master, and he hath not kept him, but that he hath killed a man or a woman: then the ox shall be stoned and his master shall die also.

561

Speak ye unto all the fellowship of Israel, saying that they take, the tenth day of this month, to every household: a sheep.

562

And the LORD refrained himself from that evil, which he said he would do unto his people.

563

In one house shall it be eaten. Ye shall carry none of the flesh out at the doors: moreover, see that ye break not a bone thereof.

564

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Go unto the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes:

565

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

566

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

567

And Moses took the tabernacle and pitched it without the host, afar off from the host, and called it the tabernacle of witness. And all that would ask any question of the LORD, went out unto the tabernacle of witness which was without the host.

568

Keep my Sabbath therefore, that it be a holy thing unto you. He that defileth it, shall be slain therefore. For whosoever worketh therein, the same soul shall be rooted out from among his people.

569

Sixth days ye shall gather it, for the seventh is the Sabbath: there shall be none therein."

570

And there shall be a hole for the head in the midst of it, and let there be a bond of woven work round about the collar of it: as it were the collar of a partlet, that it rend not.

571

And Moses said unto the children of Israel, "Behold, the LORD hath called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah,

573

And the people chode with Moses, and said, "Give us water to drink." And Moses said unto them, "Why chide ye with me, and wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?"

574

Ye shall be holy people unto me, and therefore shall ye eat no flesh that is torn of beasts in the field. But shall cast it to dogs."

575

And set marks round about the people and say, 'Beware that ye go not up into the mount, and that ye touch not the borders of it, for whosoever toucheth the mount, shall surely die.

576

he went and stood in the gate of the host and said, "If any man pertain unto the LORD, let him come to me." And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together and came unto him.

577

And he said unto them, "Thus sayeth the LORD of Israel, 'Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the host: and slay every man his brother, every man his friend and every man his neighbor."

578

And Moses said unto the people, "Think on this day in which ye came out of Egypt and out of the house of bondage: for with a mighty hand the LORD brought you out from thence. See therefore that ye eat no leavened bread.

580

Six branches shall proceed out of the sides of the candlestick, three out of the one side and three out of the other.

581

"Keep thee far from a false matter, and the Innocent and righteous see thou slay not; for I will not justify the wicked.

582

and now therefore suffer me that my wrath may wax hot upon them, and that I may consume them: and then will I make of thee a mighty people."

583

And Moses gathered all the company of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, "These are the things which the LORD hath commanded to do:

584

Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread, so that even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses. For whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be plucked out from Israel.

585

And thou shalt make his dishes, spoons, pots and flatpieces to pour out withal, of fine gold.

586

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

587

that there be a knop under every two branches of the six that proceed out of the candlestick.

588

and am come down to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land unto a good land and a large, and unto a land that floweth with milk and honey: even unto the place of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and of the Jebusites.

590

And there shall be three cups like unto almonds with knops and flowers upon every one of the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick;

591

"Behold, I have called by name, Bezalel the son of Uri son to Hur of the tribe of Judah.

592

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Lo, I will come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I talk with thee, and also believe thee forever." And Moses showed the words of the people unto the LORD.

593

And much common people went also with them, and sheep, and oxen, and cattle exceeding much.

594

Therefore it shall be a sign unto thee upon thine hand and a remembrance between thine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth. For with a strong hand the LORD brought thee out of Egypt;

595

"If ought of the flesh of the full offerings, or of the bread remain unto the morning, thou shalt burn it with fire: for it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

596

Six days shall men work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the holy rest of the LORD: so that whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, shall die for it.

597

And when the people saw it, they removed and stood afar off and said unto Moses, "Talk thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God talk with us, lest we die."

598

Then Moses besought the LORD his God and said, "O LORD, why should thy wrath wax hot upon thy people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?

600

This is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar: two lambs of one year old day by day forever,

601

Then the LORD said unto Moses, "How long shall it be, yer ye will keep my commandments and laws?

602

And see thou do unto Aaron and his sons, even so in all things as I have commanded thee: that thou fill their hands seven days

603

Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks with the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the years' end.

604

"Bid the children of Israel that they turn and pitch their tents before the entering of Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea toward Baalzephon: even before that shall ye pitch upon the sea.

605

"If a man open a well or dig a pit and cover it not, but that an ox or an ass fall therein,

606

And thou shalt make holy raiment for Aaron thy brother, both honorable and glorious.

607

And in all things that I have said unto you, be circumspect. And make no rehearsal of the names of strange gods, neither let any man hear them out of your mouths.

608

and the water returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen: so that of all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them, there remained not one.

609

Take heed to thyself, that thou make no covenant with the inhabiters of the land whither thou goest lest it be cause of ruin among you.

610

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Depart and go hence: both thou and the people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I swore unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, 'Unto thy seed I will give it.'

611

And unto the one lamb take a tenth deal of 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 unto the children of Israel, that they give me a heave offering, and of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart, ye shall take it.

613

And Moses turned his back and went down from the hill, and the two tables of witness in his hand: which were written on both the leaves

615

And the voice of the horn blew and waxed louder, and louder. Moses spake, and God answered him and that with a voice.

616

And thou shalt cover the boards with gold and make golden rings for them to put the bars through, and shalt cover the bars with gold also.

617

And he called the name of the place: Massah-and-Meribah: because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD saying, "Is the LORD among us or not?"

618

When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, "What is this?" For they wist not what it was. And Moses said, "This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

619

And thou shalt make an altar of sethim-wood: five cubits long and five cubits broad, that it be foursquare, and three cubits high.

620

And he said, "Behold, I make an covenant before all this people; that I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the world, neither among any nation. And all the people, among which thou art, shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

621

But a little and a little I will drive them out before thee, until thou be increased that thou mayest inherit the land.

622

The enemy said, 'I will follow and overtake them, and will divide the spoil: I will satisfy my lust upon them: I will draw my sword, and mine hand shall destroy them.'

623

And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave thereon, as signets are graven, 'The holiness of the LORD,'

624

and said unto them, "Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and ate bread our bellies' full; for ye have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole multitude for hunger."

625

And I shall show thee the fashion of the habitation and of all the ornaments thereof; even so, see that ye make it in all things.

626

And they judged the people at all seasons, and brought the hard causes unto Moses: and judged all small matters themselves.

627

But and if the servant say, 'I love my master and my wife and my children, I will not go out free.'

628

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Behold, I see this people, that it is a stiffnecked people,

629

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Write these words, for upon these words I have made a covenant with thee and with the children of Israel."

630

And Aaron shall reconcile his horns once in a year, with the blood of the sin offering of reconciling: even once in the year shall he reconcile it through your generations. And so is it most holy unto the LORD."

631

"These are the garments which they shall make: a breastlap, ephod, a tunicle, a strait coat, a mitre and a girdle. And they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother and his sons, that he may minister unto me.

632

Thou shalt keep the feast of sweet bread, that thou eat unleavened bread seven days long as I commanded thee in the time appointed of the month of Abib, for in that month thou camest out of Egypt: and see that no man appear before me empty.

633

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

634

And Bezalel made the ark of sethim-wood two cubits and a half long and a cubit and a half broad, and a cubit and a half high:

635

And the people answered all together and said, "All that the LORD hath said, we will do." And Moses brought the words of the people unto the LORD.

637

If men strive together and one smite another with a stone or with his fist, so that he die not, but lieth in bed:

638

And of the jacinth, scarlet, purple and twined bysse, they made the vestments of ministration to do service in that holy place, and made the holy garments that pertained to Aaron, as the LORD commanded Moses.

639

And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, "This is the manner of Passover: there shall no stranger eat thereof,

640

that thou mayest go in to a land that floweth with milk and honey. But I will not go among you myself, for ye are a stiffnecked people: lest I consume you by the way."

641

If a stranger dwell among you, and will hold Passover unto the LORD, let him circumcise all that be males, and then let him come and observe it, and be taken as one that is born in the land. No uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

642

When Moses saw that the people were naked - for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame when they made insurrection -

643

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

644

And rear up the habitation according to the fashion thereof that was showed thee in the mount.

645

Now therefore, if I have found favour in thy sight, then show me thy way and let me know thee: that I may find grace in thy sight. And look on this also, how that this nation is thy people."

646

And the people took the dough before it was soured which they had in store, and bound it in cloths, and put it upon their shoulders.

647

"And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half long and a cubit and a half broad.

648

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

649

And Moses went into the mountain. And Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.

650

There the people thirsted for water, and murmured against Moses and said, "Wherefore hast thou brought us out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?"

651

And at evening the quails came and covered the ground where they lay. And in the morning the dew lay round about the host.

652

And I will harden his heart, that he shall follow after them, that I may get me honour upon Pharaoh and upon all his host, that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD." And they did even so.

653

And the children of Israel ate Manna forty years until they came unto a land inhabited. And so they ate Manna, even until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan;

654

And thou shalt show thy son at that time, saying, 'This is done, because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came out of Egypt.'

655

And the LORD gat the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and so they borrowed, and robbed the Egyptians.

656

And the knops and the branches shall be, altogether, one piece of pure thick gold.

657

And he took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after she was sent back;

658

Keep all that I command thee this day, and behold: I will cast out before thee the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.

659

and bells of gold between them round about: that there be ever a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, round about upon the hem of the tunicle.

660

And when the four hundred and thirty years were expired, even the self same day departed all the hosts of the LORD out of the land of Egypt.

661

When mine angel goeth before thee and hath brought thee in unto the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites, and I shall have destroyed them,

662

for he said, "The hand is on the seat of the LORD, that the LORD will have war with Amalek throughout all generations."

663

And they rose up in the morning and offered burnt offerings, and brought offerings of atonement also. And then they sat them down to eat and drink, and rose up again to play.

664

and the people believed. And when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel and had looked upon their tribulation, they bowed themselves, and worshipped.

665

And the other was called Eliezer - "For the God of my father was mine help and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh."

666

Notwithstanding, there went out of the people in the seventh day for to gather: but they found none.

667

And when the dew was fallen: behold, it lay upon the ground in the wilderness, small and round and thin as the hoarfrost on the ground.

668

And he made the burnt offering altar of sethim-wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad: even four square, and three cubits high.

669

And thus much shall every man give that goeth in the number: half a sicle, after the holy sicle: a sicle is twenty geras: and a half sicle shall be the heave offering unto the LORD.

670

But overthrow their altars and break their pillars, and cut down their groves,

671

This day come ye out of Egypt in the month of Abib.

672

And thou shalt make seven lamps and put them on high thereon, to give light unto the other side that is over against it:

673

And Moses brought the people out of the tents to meet with God, and they stood under the hill.

674

And the Egyptians followed after them and overtook them where they pitched by the sea, with all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh and with his horsemen and his host: even fast by the entering of Hiroth before Baalzephon.

675

see thou keep therefore this ordinance in his season from year to year.

676

And the Egyptians were fierce upon the people and made haste to send them out of the land: for they said, "We be all dead men."

677

But and if they continue a day or two, it shall not be avenged for they are his money.

678

And on the morrow, Moses said unto the people, "Ye have sinned a great sin. But now I will go up unto the LORD, to wit whether I can make an atonement for your sin."

679

And hang it upon four pillars of sethim-wood covered with gold and that their knops be covered with gold also, and stand upon four sockets of silver.

680

Thou shalt also make a table of sethim-wood, of two cubits long and one cubit broad and a cubit and a half high.

681

And Moses cried unto the LORD saying, "What shall I do unto this people? They be almost ready to stone me!"

682

And beat it to powder and put it before the witness in the tabernacle of witness, where I will meet thee, but let it be unto you holy.

683

The nations heard, and were afraid. Pangs came upon the Philistines.

684

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Go before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel: and thy rod wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand and go.

685

And thou shalt put in the ark, the witness which I shall give thee.

686

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

687

"When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel and tellest them, they shall give every man a reconciling of his soul unto the LORD, that there be no plague among them when thou tellest them.

688

Beware of him and hear his voice and anger him not: for he will not spare your misdeeds, yea and my name is in him.

689

And take your sheep and your oxen with you as ye have said, and depart and bless me also."

690

With the breath of thine anger the water gathered together and the floods stood still as a rock, and the deep water congealed together in the midst of the sea.

691

If thou see thine enemy's ass sink under his burden, thou shalt not pass by and let him alone: but shalt help him to lift him up again.

692

and in the candlestick self, four cups like unto almonds with their knops and flowers:

693

When the LORD hath brought thee in to the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers that he would give thee: a land wherein milk and honey floweth, then see that thou keep this service in this same month.

695

When Moses was come up into the mount, a cloud covered the hill,

696

The flax and the barley were smitten, for the barley was shot up and the flax was bolled:

697

This is the sum of the habitation of witness, which was counted at the commandment of Moses: and was the office of the Levites by the hand of Ithamar son to Aaron the priest.

698

And the LORD said unto Moses, "I will do this also that thou hast said, for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name."

699

And Moses went down from the mount unto the people and sanctified them, and they washed their clothes.

701

And when Moses held up his hand, Israel had the better. And when he let his hand down, Amalek had the better.

702

Then the dukes of the Edomites were amazed, and trembling came upon the mightiest of the Moabites, and all the inhabiters of Canaan waxed faint-hearted.

703

And all the firstborn of the asses, thou shalt redeem with a sheep: if thou redeem him not, then break his neck. But all the firstborn among thy children shalt thou buy out.

704

And as Aaron spake unto the whole multitude of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness: and behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in a cloud.

705

neither shalt thou paint a poor man's cause.

706

Remember Abraham, Isaac and Israel thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thine own self and saidest unto them, 'I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land which I have said, I will give unto your seed: and they shall inherit it forever.'"

708

and make cense of them compounded after the craft of the apothecary, mingled together, that it may be made pure and holy.

709

And thou shalt fill it with four rows of stones. In the first row shall be a Sardius, a Topaz and Smaragdus.

710

And they baked sweet cakes of the dough which they brought out of Egypt, for it was not soured: because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not tarry, neither had they prepared them any other provision of meat.

711

and the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still, that the poor of thy people may eat, and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat: In like manner thou shalt do with thy vineyard and thine olive trees.

712

Then said they unto Moses, "Were there no graves for us in Egypt, but thou must bring us away for to die in the wilderness? Wherefore hast thou served us thus, for to carry us out of Egypt?

713

Thou shalt not hinder the right of the poor that are among you in their suit.

714

If the thief be not found, then the goodman of the house shall be brought unto the judges and swear, whether he have put his hand unto his neighbor's good.

715

and while my glory goeth forth I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will put mine hand upon thee while I pass by.

716

Moreover, speak unto all that are wise hearted, which I have filled with the spirit of wisdom: that they make Aaron's raiment to consecrate him with, that he may minister unto me.

717

"And thou shalt make a court unto the habitation, which shall have in the south side hangings of twined bysse, being a hundred cubits long,

718

And then I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen."

719

And Bezalel wrought and Oholiab and all wise hearted men to whom the LORD had given wisdom and understanding, to know how to work all manner work for the holy service, in all that the LORD commanded.

720

"I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel, tell them therefore and say that at evening they shall eat flesh, and in the morning they shall be filled with bread, and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God."

721

If a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor and slay him with guile, thou shalt take him from mine altar that he die.

722

For the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he followed after the children of Israel which for all that went out through a high hand.

723

And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, offered burnt offerings and sacrifices unto God. And Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God.

724

And as soon as Moses was entered into the tabernacle, the clouden pillar descended and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and he talked with Moses.

725

and were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God graven upon the tables.

726

upon the forefront of it, that it be upon Aaron's forehead: that Aaron bear the sin of the holy things which the children of Israel have hallowed in all their holy gifts. And it shall be always upon Aaron's forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.

727

And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet cense every morning when he dresseth the lamps:

728

If the theft be found in his hand alive - whether it be ox, ass or sheep - he shall restore double.

729

And they shall make the ephod of gold, jacinth, scarlet, purple and white twined bysse with broidered work.

730

This is a night to be observed to the LORD, because he brought them out of the land of Egypt. This is a night of the LORD, to be kept of all the children of Israel and of their generations after them.

731

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

732

"If fire break out and catch in the thorns, so that the stacks of corn or the standing corn or field be consumed therewith: he that kindled the fire shall make restitution.

733

And in all manner of trespass, whether it be ox, ass, sheep, raiment or any manner lost thing which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges. And whom the judges condemn: the same shall pay double unto his neighbor.

734

Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, 'For a mischief did he bring them out: even for to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth.' Turn from thy fierce wrath, and have compassion over the wickedness of thy people.

735

Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea. His jolly captains are drowned in the reed sea;

736

Seven days thou shalt eat sweet bread, and the seventh day shall be feastful unto the LORD.

737

Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods, for because that they dealt proudly with them."

739

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

740

and unleavened bread and cakes of sweet bread tempered with oil and wafers of sweet bread anointed with oil - of wheaten flour shalt thou make them -

741

The first of the first fruits of thy land, thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. And see that thou seethe not a kid in his mother's milk."

742

And thou shalt take two onyx stones and grave in them the names of the children of Israel:

743

If a man do hurt field or vineyard, so that he put in his beast to feed in another man's field: of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.

744

And he made the laver of brass and the foot of it also of brass, in the sight of them that did watch before the door of the tabernacle of witness.

745

then thou shalt appoint unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and all the firstborn among the beasts which thou hast if they be males.

746

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

747

One manner of law shall be unto them that are born in the land, and unto the strangers that dwell among you."

748

and girth them with girdles: as well Aaron as his sons. And put the bonnets on them that the priest's office may be theirs for a perpetual law. And fill the hands of Aaron and of his sons,

749

And all the wise hearted men among them, that wrought in the work of the habitation, made: even ten curtains of twined bysse, jacinth, scarlet and purple, and made them full of cherubims with broidered work.

750

And bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of witness, and wash them with water,

751

But and if thou shalt hearken unto his voice and keep all that I shall tell thee, then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

752

and said unto the elders, "Tarry ye here until we come again unto you: And behold here is Aaron and Hur with you. If any man have any matters to do, let him come to them."

753

There shall not a hand touch it, but that he shall either be stoned or else shot through: whether it be beast or man, it shall not live.' When the horn bloweth, then let them come up in to the mountain."

754

Moreover, ye shall kindle no fire throughout all your habitations upon the Sabbath day."

755

"Moreover, when the LORD hath brought thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he hath sworn unto thee and to thy fathers, and hath given it thee,

756

with snuffers and firepans of pure gold.

757

And if his master have given him a wife and she have borne him sons or daughters: then the wife and her children shall be her master's and he shall go out alone.

758

And moreover spake Moses, "At evening the LORD will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning bread enough, because the LORD hath heard your murmur which ye murmur against him: for what are we? Your murmuring is not against us, but against the LORD."

759

and in the morning ye shall see the glory of the LORD: because he hath heard your grudgings against the LORD - for what are we that ye should murmur against us?"

760

And Aaron said unto them, "Pluck off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons and of your daughters: and bring them unto me."

761

"Three times in a year shall all thy men children appear before the Lord Jehovah.

762

and cause him to be slain, and take of his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar,

763

the deep waters have covered them; they sank to the bottom as a stone.

764

And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their privities: from the loins unto the thighs shall they reach.

765

If a man lay not await, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will point thee a place whither he shall flee.

766

Thou blewest with thy breath and the sea covered them, and they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

767

And the fashion of the glory of the LORD was like consuming fire on the top of the hill in the sight of the children of Israel.

768

The sixth day let them prepare that which they will bring in, and let it be twice as much as they gather in daily."

769

And Moses spake unto all the multitude of the children of Israel, saying, "This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,

770

And Moses went again unto the LORD and said, "O, this people have sinned a great sin and have made them a god of gold:

771

And thou shalt make an alb of bysse, and thou shalt make a mitre of bysse and a girdle of needle work.

772

for the cloud of the LORD was upon the habitation by day, and fire by night: in the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.

773

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

774

But for all that, Pharaoh hardened his heart even then also and would not let the people go.

775

And when Aaron saw that, he made an altar before it, and made a proclamation saying, "Tomorrow shall be holy day unto the LORD."

776

and took six hundred chosen chariots and all the chariots of Egypt and captains upon all his people.

777

that they may be ready against the third day. For the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

778

And Moses went himself alone unto the LORD, but they came not nigh, neither came the people up with him.

779

And see that ye make none after the making of that, but let it be unto you holy for the LORD.

780

And I will send an angel before thee, and will cast out the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:

781

And he said, "If thy presence go not with me, carry us not hence,

782

And Aaron shall have it upon him when he ministereth, that the sound may be heard when he goeth into the holy place before the LORD and when he cometh out, that he die not.

783

For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 'They are tangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.'

784

But when he went before the LORD to speak with him, he took the covering off until he came out. And he came out and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.

785

And with thy great glory thou hast destroyed thine adversaries! Thou sentest forth thy wrath and it consumed them, even as stubble.

786

And the took the calf which they had made and burned it with fire, and stamped it unto powder and strowed it in the water, and made the children of Israel drink.

787

And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark, and in the ark thou shalt put the witness which I will give thee.

789

And thou shalt make for Aaron's sons also coats, girdles and bonnets; honorable and glorious,

790

lest, if thou make any covenant with the inhabiters of the land, when they go a whoring after their gods and do sacrifice unto their gods, they call thee and thou eat of their sacrifice;

791

Therefore thou shalt eat sweet bread seven days, and see that there be no leavened bread seen nor yet leaven among you in all your quarters.

792

And Joshua did as Moses bade him, and fought with the Amalekites. And Moses, Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

793

If the owner thereof be by, he shall not make it good, namely if it be a hired thing and came for hire.

794

and her two sons, of which the one was called Gershom - for he said, "I have been an alien in a strange land" -

795

and sent young men of the children of Israel to sacrifice burnt offerings and to offer peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.

796

for how shall it be known now that both I and thy people have found favour in thy sight, but in that thou goest with us: that both I and thy people have a preeminence before all the people that are upon the face of the earth."

797

if he rise again and walk without upon his staff, then shall he that smote him go quit: save only he shall bear his charges while he lay in bed and pay for his healing.

799

except the su be up when he is found, then there shall be blood shed for him. A thief shall make restitution: If he have not wherewith, he shall be sold for his theft.

800

And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering and drink offering in the morning, to be an odour of a sweet savour of the sacrifice of the LORD.

801

And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of witness in the holiest place.

802

If she please not her master, so that he hath given her to no man to wife, then shall he let her go free: to sell her unto a strange nation shall he have no power, because he despised her.

803

And make of them holy anointing oil even an oil compound after the craft of the apothecary.

804

And take the anointing oil and anoint the habitation and all that is therein, and hallow it and all that belong thereto: that it may be holy.

805

And thou shalt put the table without the veil, and candlestick over against the table, upon the south side of the habitation. And put the table on the north side.

806

When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and thunder were ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart: both he and his servants.

807

The feast of sweet bread shalt thou keep, and seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed in the month of Abib: for in the month of Abib thou camest out of Egypt.

808

Thrice in a year shall all your men children appear before the Lord Jehovah, God of Israel:

809

And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his two sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness: where he had pitched his tent by the mount of God.

810

"Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my feast remain until the morning.

811

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

812

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

813

And his father-in-law said unto him, "It is not well that thou doest.

814

And the children of Levi did as Moses had said. And there were slain of the people the same day, about three thousand men.

815

But and if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time's past, then because his master hath not kept him, he shall pay ox for ox, and the dead shall be his own."

816

ram's skins that are red, and the skins of taxus, and sethim-wood,

817

and upon the nobles of the children of Israel he set not his hand. And when they had seen God they ate and drank.

818

If he came alone, he shall go out alone: If he came married, his wife shall go out with him.

819

And they went - as many as their hearts couraged them and as many as their spirits made them willing - and brought heave offerings unto the LORD, to the making of the tabernacle of witness and for all his uses and for the holy vestments.

820

Thou doest unwisely and also this people that is with thee: because the thing is too grievous for thee, and thou art not able to do it thyself alone.

821

and said, "If I have found grace in thy sight O Lord, then let my Lord go with us - for it is a stubborn people. And have mercy upon our wickedness and our sin, and let us be thine inheritance."

822

And in the gate of the court shall be a veil of twenty cubits: of jacinth, scarlet, purple and twined bysse wrought with needle work, and four pillars with their four sockets.

823

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

824

and thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother and on his sons with him and shalt anoint them and fill their hands and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me.

825

In the tabernacle of witness without the veil which is before the witness, shall Aaron and his sons dress it both even and morning before the LORD: And it shall be a duty for ever unto your generations after you: to be given of the children of Israel."

826

And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and when their daughters go a whoring after their gods,

827

And thou shalt make boards for the habitation of sethim-wood to stand upright:

828

have marred all: they are turned at once out of the way which I commanded them, and have made them a calf of molten metal, and have worshipped it and have offered thereto and have said, 'This is thy God thou Israel, which hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt.'"

829

"Thou shalt make a laver of brass and his foot also of brass to wash withal, and shalt put it between the tabernacle of witness and the altar and put water therein:

830

Then Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua, and Moses went up into the hill of God,

831

And the cherubims shall stretch their wings abroad over on high, and cover the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another: even to the mercy seat ward, shall the faces of the cherubims be.

832

And all the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron.

833

And Moses bowed himself to the earth quickly, and worshipped,

834

Seven days thou shalt reconcile the altar and sanctify it, that it may be an altar most holy: so that no man may touch it but they that be consecrate.

835

and burn the whole ram upon the altar. For it is a burnt offering unto the LORD, and a sweet savour of the LORD's sacrifice.

836

But the first of the ass thou shalt buy out with a sheep, or if thou redeem him not: see thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou must needs redeem. And see that no man appear before me empty.

837

Every man offering half a sicle after the weight of the holy sicle among them that went to be numbered from twenty years old and above, among six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.

838

And then Moses said unto Aaron, "What did this people unto thee that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?"

839

and hath filled him with the spirit of God: with wisdom, understanding and knowledge, even in all manner work;

840

'Give from among you a heave offering, unto the LORD. All that are willing in their hearts, shall bring heave offerings unto the LORD: gold, silver, brass:

841

And Moses hewed two tables of stone like unto the first and rose up early in the morning and went up unto the mount of Sinai as the LORD commanded him: and took in his hand the two tables of stone.

842

If he have promised her unto his son to wife, he shall deal with her as men do with their daughters.

843

And the children of Israel laid their goodly raiment from them, even under the mount Horeb.

845

And it shall be a continual burnt offering among your children after you, in the door of the tabernacle of witness before the LORD, where I will meet you to speak unto you there.

846

and likewise at even when he setteth up the lamps he shall burn cense perpetually before the LORD throughout your generations.

847

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

848

And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold: both within and without, and shalt make on high upon it, a crown of gold round about.

849

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

850

And thou shalt make a hanging for the door of the tabernacle: of jacinth, of scarlet, of purple and of twined bysse, wrought with needle work.

851

the one thou shalt offer in the morning and the other at even.

852

And he made ready his chariots and took his people with him,

853

Thus was all the work of the habitation of the tabernacle of witness finished. And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses.

854

And whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall perish from among his people."

855

hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of graven work. They are also broiderers, and workers with needle, in jacinth, scarlet, purple and bysse; and are weavers that can make all manner work, and can devise subtle works.

856

And behold, I have given him, to be his companion, Ohaliab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, and in the hearts of all that are wise-hearted I have put wisdom to make all that I have commanded thee:

857

And anoint the tabernacle of witness therewith, and the ark of witness,

858

Ye shall put no strange cense thereon, neither burnt sacrifice nor meat offering, neither pour any drink offering thereon.

859

oil for lights, and spices for anointing oil and for sweet cense;

860

Then take the fat of the ram and his rump and the fat that covereth the inwards and the caul of the liver and, the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them and the right shoulder - for that ram is a full offering -

861

And he took and put the testimony in the ark, and set the staves to the ark and put the mercy seat on high upon the ark,

862

And he made the candlestick of pure thick gold: both the candlestick and his shaft: with branches, bowls, knops and flowers proceeding out of it.

863

Then take of the blood that is upon the altar and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron and his vestments, and upon his sons and upon their garments also. Then is he and his clothes holy and his sons and their clothes holy also.

864

And thou shalt put the two stones upon the two shoulders of the ephod, and they shall be stones of remembrance unto the children of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a remembrance.

865

"In the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the habitation of the tabernacle of witness,

866

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

867

And thou shalt make for the hanging, five pillars of sethim-wood, and cover both them and their knops with gold, and shalt cast five sockets of brass for them.

868

And Moses said unto his father-in-law, "Because the people came unto me to seek counsel of God.

869

that their anointing may be an everlasting priesthood unto them throughout their generations."

870

And Moses called for Bezalel, Oholiab and all the wise hearted men in whose hearts the LORD had put wisdom, even as many as their hearts couraged to come unto the work to work it.

871

If a man deliver unto his neighbor to keep ass, ox, sheep or whatsoever beast it be and it die, or be hurt or driven away, and no man see it:

872

"Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread: neither shall ought of the sacrifice of the feast of Passover, be left unto the morning.

873

And the LORD spake unto Moses, "Say unto the children of Israel, 'Ye are a stiffnecked people: I must come once suddenly upon you, and make an end of you. But now put your goodly raiment from you, that I may wete what to do unto you.'"

874

Thus was the tabernacle reared up, the first month in the second year.

875

When his father-in-law saw all that he did unto the people, he said, "What is this that thou doest unto the people? Why sittest thou thyself and lettest all the people stand about thee from morning unto even?"

876

And make it horns proceeding out in the four corners of it, and cover it with brass.

877

but the wheat and the rye were not smitten, for they were late sown.

878

And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, "At even ye shall know that it is the LORD which brought you out of the land of Egypt;

879

And the children of Israel brought willing offerings unto the LORD; both men and women, as many as their hearts made them willing to bring, for all manner works which the LORD had commanded to make by the hand of Moses.

880

And Jethro said, "Blessed be the LORD which hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh, which hath delivered his people from under the power of the Egyptians.

881

When a man borroweth ought of his neighbor if it be hurt or else die, and if the owner thereof be not by, he shall make it good:

882

And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it and put them in the four corners thereof; two rings on the one side of it, and two on the other.

883

And the girdle of the ephod shall be of the same workmanship and of the same stuff: even of gold, jacinth, scarlet, purple and twined bysse.

884

And the men came with the women - even as many as were willing hearted - and brought bracelets, earrings, rings and girdles and all manner jewels of gold; and all the men that waved wave offerings of gold unto the LORD;

885

After the work of a stone graver, even as signets are graven, shalt thou grave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel, and shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.

886

Thou stretchedest out thy right hand, and in the earth swallowed them.

887

And the sum of silver that came of the multitude, was five score hundred weight and a thousand seven hundred and seventy five sicles of the holy sicle.

888

The fourth, a Turquoise, Onyx and Jasper. And they shall be set in gold in their enclosures.

889

And Moses spake unto Aaron, "Say unto all the company of the children of Israel, 'Come forth before the LORD, for he hath heard your grudgings.'"

890

And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and did obeisance and kissed him, and they saluted each other and came into the tent.

891

And take of the blood of the ox and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger and pour all the blood upon the bottom of the altar,

892

According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, even so the children of Israel made all the work.

893

A stranger and a hired servant shall not eat thereof.

894

There I will meet with the children of Israel, and will be sanctified in mine honour.

895

and put it on a lace of Jacincth and tie it unto the mitre,

896

And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD, and the thunder and hail ceased, neither rained it any more upon the earth.

897

And Jethro rejoiced over all the good which the LORD had done to Israel, and because 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 unto Moses, "There is a noise of war in the host."

899

For when they have a matter, they come unto me, and I must judge between every man and his neighbor, and must show them the ordinances of God and his laws."

900

And as soon as he had made an end of communing with them, he put a covering upon his face.

901

And thou shalt make another covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red: and yet another above all of taxus skins.

902

and bring the ox before the tabernacle of witness. And let Aaron and his sons put their hands upon his head

903

And thou shalt make eleven curtains of goat's hair, to be a tent to cover the habitation.

904

And when Aaron and all the children of Israel looked upon Moses and saw that the skin of his face shone with beams, they were afraid to come nigh him.

905

The rich shall not pass, and the poor shall not go under, half a sicle; when they give a heave offering unto the LORD for the atonement of their souls.

906

then shall an oath of the LORD go between them, whether he have put his hand unto his neighbor's good, and the owner of it shall take the oath, and the other shall not make it good.

907

And thou shalt put it before the veil that hangeth before the ark of witness, and before the mercy seat that is before the witness, where I will meet thee.

908

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

909

But the flesh of the ox and his skin and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire, without the host. For it is a sin offering.

910

a cubit long, and a cubit broad, even foursquare shall it be and two cubits, high: with horns proceeding out of it,

911

If he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free and pay no money.

912

And all the women that were wise hearted to work with their hands, span; and brought the spun work, both of jacinth, scarlet, purple and bysse.

913

and take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul that is on the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat that is upon them: and burn them upon the altar.

914

An hundred pound weight of fine gold shall make it with all the apparel.

915

And sanctify the breast of the wave offering and the shoulder of the heave offering which is waved and heaved up of the ram which is the full offering of Aaron and of his sons.

916

Foursquare it shall be and double, a hand breadth long and a hand breadth broad.

917

"And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to anoint them therein, and to fill their hands therein.

918

And let all them that are wise hearted among you, come and make all that the LORD hath commanded:

919

for I will cast out the nations before thee and will enlarge thy coasts, so that no man shall desire thy land, while thou goest up to appear before the face of the LORD thy God, thrice in the year.

920

And they shall be upon Aaron and his sons, when they go into the tabernacle of witness, or when they go unto the altar to minister in holiness, that they bear no sin and so die. And it shall be a law for ever unto Aaron and his seed after him."

921

And put the mitre upon his head and put the holy crown upon the mitre.

922

And all the people plucked off the golden earrings that were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.

923

so that Moses could not enter into the tabernacle of witness, because the cloud abode therein, and the glory of the LORD filled the habitation.

924

So was the heart of Pharaoh hardened, that he would not let the children of Israel go, as the LORD had said by Moses.

925

The length of a curtain shall be twenty eight cubits, and the breadth four and they shall be all of one measure:

926

and take the garments, and put upon Aaron: the strait coat, and the tunicle of the ephod, and the ephod and the breastlap: and girth them to him with the broidered girdle of the ephod.

927

And thou shalt take the reconciling money of the children of Israel and shalt put it unto the use of the tabernacle of witness, and it shall be a memorial of the children of Israel before the LORD, to make atonement for their souls."

928

Then Moses said, "Fill your hands unto the LORD this day, every man upon his son and upon his brother: to bring upon you a blessing this day."

929

And the stones shall be graven as signets be graven: with the names of the children of Israel, even with twelve names every one with his name according to the twelve tribes.

930

and put the staves in the rings along by the sides of the ark, to bear it withal.

931

they make thy sons go a whoring after their gods also. Thou shalt make thee no gods of metal.

932

The second row, a Ruby, Sapphire and Diamond.

933

"Then shalt thou make loops of jacinth colour, along by the edge of the one curtain even in the selvedge of the coupling curtain. And likewise shalt thou make in the edge of the utmost curtain that is coupled therewith on the other side.

934

And he made the cense altar of sethim-wood of a cubit long and a cubit broad: even four square, and two cubits high with horns proceeding out of it.

935

And he sent word to Moses, "I, thy father-in-law Jethro, am come to thee; and thy wife also, and her two sons with her."

936

and twenty pillars thereof with their twenty sockets of brass: but the knops of the pillars and their hoops shall be silver.

937

And all the company of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

938

And Moses beheld all the work, and see, they had done it even as the LORD commanded: and then Moses blessed them.

939

And I said unto them, 'Let them that have gold, take and bring it me': and I cast it into the fire, and thereof came out this calf."

940

but all the servants that are bought for money shall ye circumcise, and then let them eat thereof.

941

of sweet calamite, two hundred and fifty. Of cassia, two hundred and fifty after the holy sicle, and of olive oil a hin.

942

And thou shalt make fifty buttons of gold, and couple the curtain together with the buttons: that it may be a habitation.

943

And the staves shall abide in the rings of the ark, and shall not be taken away.

944

And he said, "It is not the cry of them that have the mastery, nor of them that have the worse: but I do hear the noise of singing."

945

If it be stolen from him, then he shall make restitution unto the owner:

946

"Then bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of witness, and wash them with water.

947

And make his ashpans, shovels, basins, fleshhooks, firepans and all the apparel thereof, of brass;

948

and the ministering vestments to serve in the holy place, and the holy vestments of Aaron the priest and his sons' raiments to minister in.

949

when they go into the tabernacle of witness, or when they go unto the altar to minister and to burn the LORD's offering, lest they die.

950

And he made the holy anointing oil and the sweet pure cense after the apothecary's craft.

951

And thou shalt yet make two rings of gold, and put them in the two edges of the breastlap even in the borders thereof toward the inside of the ephod that is over against it.

952

When the cloud was taken up from off the habitation, the children of Israel took their journeys, as oft as they journeyed.

953

And both Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:

954

and spread abroad the tent over the habitation and put the covering of the tent on high above it: as the LORD commanded Moses.

955

And they made the ephod of gold, jacinth, scarlet, purple, and twined bysse.

956

The third, Ligurius, an Agate and Amethyst.

957

And even the self same day did the LORD bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt with their armies.

958

And they made the breastlap of cunning work, after the work of the ephod: even of gold, jacinth, scarlet, purple and twined bysse.

959

Then take the breast of the ram that is Aaron's full offering and wave it, a wave offering before the LORD, and let that be thy part.

960

and spake unto Moses saying, "The people bring too much, and above that is enough to serve for the work which the LORD hath commanded to make."

961

And he made the court with hangings of twined bysse of a hundred cubits long upon the south side,

962

and set the one cherub on the one end and the other on the other end of the mercy seat: so see that thou make them on the two ends thereof.

963

And he hath put in his heart the grace to teach: both him and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan

964

And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' duty forever, of the children of Israel, for it is a heave offering. And the heave offering shall be the LORD's duty of the children of Israel: even of the sacrifice of their peace offerings which they heave unto the LORD.

965

after the fashion of a net, and put upon the net four rings: even in the four corners of it,

966

And Aaron said, "Let not the wrath of my lord wax fierce, thou knowest the people that they are even set on mischief.

967

And thou shalt make staves of sethim-wood and cover them with gold,

969

And when all the people saw the clouden pillar stand in the tabernacle door, they rose up and worshipped: every man in his tent door.

970

All that breaketh up the matrix shall be mine, and all that breaketh the matrix among thy cattle, if it be male: whether it be ox or sheep.

971

And be ready against the morning that thou mayest come up early unto the mount of Sinai and stand me there upon the top of the mount.

972

And all that are numbered of them that are twenty years old and above shall give a heave offering unto the LORD.

973

All the gold that was occupied upon all the work of the holy place - which was the gold of the wave offering - was twenty nine hundred weight and seven hundred and thirty sicles, according to the holy sicle.

974

and made thereto a hoop of a hand breadth round about, and made unto the hoop a crown of gold round about,

975

And when the people heard this evil tidings, they sorrowed: and no man did put on his best raiment.

976

If it be torn with wild beasts, then let him bring record of the tearing: and he shall not make it good.

977

and put all upon the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons: and wave them in and out, a wave offering unto the LORD.

978

And he made the table of sethim-wood two cubits long and a cubit broad, and a cubit and a half high,

979

And Moses did according to all that the LORD commanded him.

980

And sanctify them that they may be most holy: so that no man touch them but they that be hallowed.

981

And take of his blood and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron and of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hands, and upon the great toe of their right feet and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.

982

And they shall know that I am the LORD their God that brought them out of the land of Egypt for to dwell among them: even I the LORD their God."

983

and a mitre of bysse, and goodly bonnets of bysse, and linen breeches of twined bysse,

984

And make the altar hollow with boards: even as it was showed thee in the mount, so let them make it.

985

that Aaron and his sons may wash both their hands and their feet thereout,

986

and with him Oholiab son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, a cunning graver and a worker of needle work in jacinth, scarlet, purple and bysse.

987

And it shall be an ordinance forever unto him and his seed among your children after you."

988

And for the west end of the habitation, shalt thou make six boards,

989

And he reared up the court round about the habitation and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate: and so Moses finished the work.

990

And on every branch were three cups like unto almonds, with knops and flowers throughout the six branches that proceeded out of the candlestick.

991

And in the breadth of the court westward, there shall be hangings of fifty cubits long, and ten pillars with their ten sockets.

992

And make unto that a hoop of four fingers broad, round about. And make a golden crown also to the hoop round about.

993

And all the women that excelled in wisdom of heart, span the goats' hair.

994

onyx stones and set stones for the Ephod and for the breastlap.

995

and the vestments to minister in, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons to minister in,

996

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

997

and a girdle of twined bysse, jacinth, scarlet and purple: even of needle work, as the LORD commanded Moses.

998

six in the one stone, and the other six in the other stone: according to the order of their birth.

999

and a simnel of bread and a cake of oiled bread and a wafer out of the basket of sweet bread that is before the LORD,

1000

And they shall take thereto, gold, jacinth, scarlet, purple and bysse.
