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.

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?"

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?"

Nay, not so: but go ye that are men and serve the LORD, for that was your desire." And they thrust them out of Pharaoh's presence.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for grasshoppers; that they come upon the land of Egypt and eat all the herbs of the land, and all that the hail left untouched."

And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land, all that day and all night. And in the morning the east wind brought the grasshoppers,

and the grasshoppers went up over all the land of Egypt and lighted in all quarters of Egypt very grievously: so that before them were there no such grasshoppers, neither after them shall be.

And they covered all the face of the earth, so that the land was dark therewith. And they ate all the herbs of the land and all the fruits of the trees which the hail had left: so that there was no green thing left in the trees and herbs of the field through all the land of Egypt.

Forgive me yet my sin only this once, and pray unto the LORD your God that he may take away from me this death only."

and the LORD turned the wind into a mighty strong west wind, and it took away the grasshoppers and cast them into the reed sea: so that there was not one grasshopper left in all the coasts of Egypt.

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

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Stretch out thy hand unto heaven, and let there be darkness upon the land of Egypt: even that they may feel the darkness."

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.

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

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."

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.

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

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.

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

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.'

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.

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

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.

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

If the household be too few for a sheep, then let him and his neighbor that is next unto this house, take according to the number of souls, and count unto a sheep according to every man's eating.

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

And see that ye let nothing of it remain unto the morning: if ought remain, burn it with fire.

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.

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.

"The first day shall be a holy feast unto you, and the seventh also. There shall be no manner of work done in them, save about that only which every man must eat: that only may ye do.

And see that ye keep you to unleavened bread. For upon that same day I will bring your armies out of the land of Egypt, therefore ye shall observe this day and all your children after you, that it be a custom forever.

Seven days see that there be no leavened bread found in your houses. For whosoever eateth leavened bread, that soul shall be rooted out from the multitude of Israel: whether he be a stranger or born in the land.

Therefore see that ye eat no leavened bread, but in all your habitations eat sweet bread."

And take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike it upon the upper post and on the two side posts, and see that none of you go out at the door of his house until the morning.

Therefore see that thou observe this thing, that it be an ordinance to thee, and thy sons forever.

And when ye be come into the land which the LORD will give you according as he hath promised, see that ye keep this service.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

"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."

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.

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.

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.

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.'

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;

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 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.'

Therefore God led them about through the wilderness that bordereth on the reed sea. The children of Israel went harnessed out of the land of Egypt.

And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud to lead them the way: and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light: that they might go both by day and night.

"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.

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?"

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.

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

But lift thou up thy rod and stretch out thy hand over the sea and divide it asunder, that the children of Israel may go on dry ground through the midst thereof.

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 the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots and upon his horsemen."

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

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.

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."

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.

And when Israel saw that mighty hand which the LORD had showed upon the Egyptians, they feared the LORD: and believed both the LORD and also his servant Moses.

Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song unto the LORD, and said, "Let us sing unto the LORD, for he is become glorious, the horse and him that rode upon him hath he overthrown in the sea!

Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among gods? Who is like thee, so glorious in holiness, fearful, laudable and that showest wonders?

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.

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 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?"

"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."

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."

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.

And Moses said unto them, "See that no man let ought remain of it till the morning."

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."

And Moses said, "That, eat this day: for today it is the LORD's Sabbath; today ye shall find none in the field.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

and provide them ordinances and laws, and show them the way wherein they must walk and the works that they must do.

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 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 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.

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."

And he said unto the people, "Be ready against the third day, and see that ye come not at your wives."
