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.

Then Pharaoh arose the same night and all his servants and all the Egyptians, and there was a great crying throughout Egypt, for there was no house where there was not one dead.

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."

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.

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.

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

All the multitude of the children of Israel shall observe it.

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.

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

"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."

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.

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.

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.

And when Pharaoh was loath to let us go, the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: as well the firstborn of men as of beasts. And therefore I sacrifice unto the LORD all the males that open the matrix, but all the firstborn of my children I must redeem.'

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."

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

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.

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?"

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

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.

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.

And behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians that they may follow you. And I will get me honour upon Pharaoh and upon all his host, upon his chariots and upon his horsemen.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Thine hand, LORD, is glorious in power, thine hand, LORD, hath all to dashed the enemy.

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.'

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.

Let fear and dread fall upon them through the greatness of thine arm, and let them be as still as a stone, while thy people pass through, O LORD; while the people pass through, which thou hast gotten.

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.

and said, "If ye will hearken unto the voice of the LORD your God, and will do that which is right in his sight and will give an ear unto his commandments, and keep all his ordinances: then will I put none of these diseases upon thee which I brought upon the Egyptians, for I am the LORD thy surgeon."

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.

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

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."

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.

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

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;

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."

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.'"

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.

And they gathered it all mornings: every man as much as sufficed for his eating, for as soon as the heat of the sun came it melted.

And he said unto them, "This is that which the LORD hath said, 'Tomorrow is the Sabbath of the holy rest of the LORD: bake that which ye will bake and fetch that ye will fetch, and that which remaineth lay up for you, and keep it till the morning."

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

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.

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.

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."

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."

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?"

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

But hear my voice, and I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee. Be thou unto the people to Godward, and bring the causes unto God,

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.

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.

If thou shalt do this thing, then thou shalt be able to endure that which God chargeth thee with all, and all this people shall go to their places quietly."

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

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.

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

Now therefore if ye will hear my voice and keep mine covenant: ye shall be mine own above all nations, for all the earth is mine.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

And God spake all these words, and said,

"Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

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

For in six days the LORD made both heaven and earth and the sea and all that in them is and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

And all the people saw the thunder and the lightning and the noise of the horn, and how the mountain smoked.

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."

An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me and thereon offer thy burnt offerings and thy peace offerings, and thy sheep and thine oxen. And in all places where I shall put the remembrance of my name, thither I will come unto thee and bless thee.

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

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.

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

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.

"When men strive and smite a woman with child so that her fruit depart from her and yet no misfortune followeth: then shall he be amerced, according as the woman's husband will lay to his charge, and he shall pay as the daysmen appoint him.

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.

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

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.

If ye shall trouble them, they shall cry unto me, and I will surely hear their cry;

and then will my wrath wax hot and I will kill you with sword, and your wives shall be widows and your children fatherless.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

"Moreover there shall be no woman childless or unfruitful in thy land, and the number of thy days I will fulfill.

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,

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