Now, these, are the names of the Sons of Israel, who came into Egypt, with Jacob, did each man and his household come in: -

Then arose a new king over Egypt, - who had not known Joseph.

And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of paper-reed, and covered it over with bitumen, and with pitch, - and put therein the child, and laid it among the rushes upon the bank of the river.

So he turned this way and that, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

Now, the priest of Midian, had seven daughters, - and they came and drew and filled the troughs, to water their fathers flock.

Now, Moses, was shepherding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law priest of Midian, - so he led forth the flock behind the desert, and came in unto the mountain of God to Horeb.

And he said - Do not draw nigh hither, - put off thy sandals from thy feet, for, the place whereon thou art standing is holy ground.

Then said Yahweh, I have, seen, the humiliation of my people, who are in Egypt, - and their outcry, have I heard, by reason of their task-masters, for I know their pains;

Now, therefore, lo! the outcry of the sons of Israel, hath come in unto me, - moreover also, I have seen the oppression, wherewith the Egyptians are oppressing them.

Now, therefore, come thou! that I may send thee unto Pharaoh, - and bring thou forth my people - the sons of Israel - out of Egypt.

So will they hearken to thy voice, - and thou shalt go in - thou, and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt and ye shall say unto him - Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, hath fallen in with us, Now, therefore let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the desert, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.

But, I, know, that the king of Egypt will not suffer you to go, - not even by a firm hand.

Now, therefore go, - and, I, will be with thy mouth, so will I direct thee, what thou shalt speak.

Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh against Moses, and he said - Is there not Aaron, thy brother, the Levite? I know that he lean speak. Moreover also lo! he himself is coming forth to meet thee, as surely as he seeth thee, so surely will he rejoice in his heart.

Then said Pharaoh, Who is Yahweh that I should hearken to his voice, to let Israel go? I know not Yahweh, and certainly. Israel, will I not let go!

And Pharaoh said, Lo! many - now, are the people of the land, - and are ye to make them rest from their burdens?

Ye shall no more give straw unto the people, for making the bricks as heretofore: Let them, go, themselves, so shall they gather for themselves straw:

No straw, is given to thy servants, yet bricks, - they keep saying to us - make ye! And lo, thy servants, are beaten - thou dost, therefore, wrong thy people.

Now, therefore, go labour, but, straw, shall not be given you, - yet the tale of bricks, shall ye render.

And Moses returned unto Yahweh and said, - O My Lord wherefore hast thou caused harm to this people? Wherefore now didst thou send me?

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Now, shalt thou see, what I will do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand, shall he let them go, and with a strong hand, shall he drive them out from his land.

And will take you to myself for a people, And will become your God, - And ye shall know that, I Yahweh, am your God, who brought you forth from under the burdens of Egypt:

And the Egyptians shall know that I, am Yahweh, when I have stretched forth my hand over Egypt, - and brought forth the sons of Israel out of their midst.

Now Moses, was eighty years old, and, Aaron, eighty-three years old, - when they spake unto Pharaoh.

Thus, saith Yahweh, Hereby, shalt thou know that, I, am Yahweh, - Lo! I, am smiting with the staff that is in my hand upon the waters that are in the river and they shall be turned to blood;

And he said - For to-morrow. And he said - According to thy word! that thou mayest know that there is none like Yahweh, our God:

then will I make to differ on that day, the land of Goshen wherein my people do dwell, so that there shall not be there a gad-fly! in order that thou mayest know, that I, Yahweh, am in the midst of the land;

for this time, am I, sending all my plagues unto thy heart, and amongst thy servants and amongst thy people, - to the intent thou mayest get to know, that there is none like me in all the earth.

For now, might I have put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, - and thou shoulder have secretly disappeared from the earth;

Now, therefore, send - bring into safety thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field, - as touching all men and beasts which shall be found in the field and shall not be withdrawn into shelter, the hail shall come down upon them and they shall die.

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

And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, will I spread out my hands unto Yahweh, - the thunderings, shall cease, and, the hail, shall come no more, - that thou mayest know, that to Yahweh, belongeth the earth.

But as touching thee and thy servants, I know that not yet will ye stand in awe of Yahweh Elohim.

Now, the flax and the barley, were smitten, - for the barley, was in the ear, and, the flax, was in flower;

and that thou mayest recount in the ears of thy son and thy sons' son, what I did in derision of the Egyptians, and my signs which I displayed among them, - so shall ye know that I, am Yahweh.

Now, therefore, forgive I pray you my sin - only this time, and make entreaty to Yahweh your God, - that he may take away from me, at least, this death.

Moreover also, our own cattle, shall go with us - there shall not be left behind, a hoof, for thereof, must we take, to serve Yahweh our God, - even we ourselves, cannot know wherewith we must serve Yahweh, until we have come in thither.

And Moses said - Well hast thou spoken, - no more again to see thy face.

But against none of the sons of Israel, shall a dog sharpen his tongue, neither against man nor beast, - that ye may know that Yahweh maketh a difference between Egypt and Israel.

Then shall the blood serve you for a sign, on the houses wherein ye are, then will I behold the blood, and will pass over you, - and there shall be among you no plague to destroy, when I smite the laud of Egypt.

Both on the first day, a holy convocation, and on the seventh day - a holy convocation, shall there be to you, - no work, shall be done therein, save only what must be eaten by every soul, that alone, shall be done by you.

Then baked they the dough which they had brought out of Egypt - into round unleavened cakes for it had not been leavened, - for they had been driven out of Egypt and could not tarry, and indeed no provisions, had they made ready for themselves.

Now, the time during which the sons of Israel dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

And Yahweh said unto Moses and Aaron: This, is the statute of the passover, - No stranger, shall eat thereof;

And when there may sojourn with thee a sojourner who may wish to keep a passover to Yahweh, there must be circumcised to him every male and then, may he draw near to keep it, so shall he be as a native of the land, - but no uncircumcised male, shall eat thereof.

Now, Yahweh, was going before them - by day, in a pillar of cloud to lead them the way, and by night, in a pillar of fire to give them light, - that they might journey day and night:

So will I let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, and he will pursue them, that I may get me honour over Pharaoh, and over all his forces, and the Egyptians shall know, that I, am Yahweh. And they did so.

Now when, Pharaoh, had drawn near, the sons of Israel lifted up their eyes, and lo! the Egyptians, moving along after them and they feared greatly, and the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh.

Then said they unto Moses, Was it because there were no graves in Egypt, that thou didst fetch us to die in the desert? What is this thou hast done to us, bringing us forth out of Egypt?

And the Egyptians shall know, that, I, am Yahweh, - when I have gotten me honour over Pharaoh, over his chariots and over his horsemen.

And Moses caused Israel to break up from the Red Sea, and they went out into the desert of Shur, - and journeyed three days in the desert and found no water;

So Moses and Aaron said unto all the sons of Israel, - At eventide, then shall ye know that it was, Yahweh, who brought you forth, out of the land of Egypt;

I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel, - speak unto them, saying - Between the two evenings, shall ye eat flesh, and in the morning, shall ye be filled with bread, - so shall ye know that I Yahweh am your God.

And when the sons of Israel saw it they said one to another - What is that? For they knew not what "that" was. Then said Moses unto them, "That" is the bread which Yahweh hath given you to eat.

and when they measured it with the omer, he who had gathered more had nothing over, and he who had gathered less had no lack: each man what he needed for eating, did they gather.

And Moses said unto them, - Let, no man leave thereof, until morning.

So they put it by until the morning, as Moses had commanded, - and it gave no unpleasant odour, neither was there a worm, therein.

See because Yahweh hath given you the sabbath, for this cause, is, he, giving you on the sixth day, food for two days, - abide ye every man in his place, let no man go forth from his dwelling, on the seventh day,

Now, an omer, is, the tenth of the ephah.

And all the assembly of the sons of Israel set forward out of the desert of Sin, by their removings, at the bidding of Yahweh, - and encamped in Rephidim, and there was no water for the people to drink.

Now, I know, that, greater, is Yahweh than all the gods, - Even in the thing wherein they were arrogant over them.

Now it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat, to judge the people, - and the people stood by Moses, from the morning, until the evening.

Now, hearken thou to my voice - let me counsel thee, and may God be with thee: Be, thou, for the people, in front of God, so shalt, thou, bring the matters unto God;

Now, therefore, if ye will, indeed hearken, to my voice, And keep my covenant, Then shall ye be mine as a treasure beyond all the peoples, For, mine, is all the earth;

No hand shall touch it but he shall be, surely stoned, or be, surely shot, whether beast or man, he shall not live, - When the rams horn soundeth, they themselves, shall come up within the mount,

but, the seventh day, is a sabbath unto Yahweh thy God, - thou shalt do no work, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant, nor thy handmaid, nor thy beast, nor thy sojourner who is within thy gates,

Now, these are the regulations which thou shalt put before them.

And when men strive together and push against a woman with child, and she miscarry, hut there is no other mischief, he shall, surely be fined, according as the woman's husband shall lay upon him, but he shall give it through judges.

If, in the place of breaking in, the thief be found and he is smitten so that he dieth, there is due for him no shedding of blood:

When a man delivereth unto his neighbour, an ass, or an ox or a sheep, or any beast, to keep, - and it dieth or is fractured, or is driven away, no one beholding,

And a sojourner, shalt thou not drive away, - seeing that, ye yourselves, know the, soul of a sojourner; for sojourners, became ye in the laud of Egypt.

and they shall know that, I - Yahweh, am their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt that I might make my habitation in their midst, I - Yahweh, their God.

When thou takest the sum of the sons of Israel, by their numberings, then shall they give every man a propitiatory-covering for his soul to Yahweh, when they are numbered, - that there may be among them no plague when they are numbered.

Thou thyself, therefore, speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Surely, my sabbaths, shall ye keep, for, a sign it is betwixt me and you to your generations, that ye may know that I Yahweh do hallow you.

And, when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him - Up, make for us gods, who shall go before us, for, as for this Moses - the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him.

Now, therefore, let me alone, that mine anger may kindle upon them and that I may consume them, and may make of thee

Now as for, the tables, the work of God, they were, - and, as for the writing, the writing of God, it was, graven upon the tables.

So they said to me - Make for us gods, who shall go before us, - for, as for this, Moses - the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him.

And it came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye, have sinned a great sin, - Now, therefore, I must go up unto Yahweh, Peradventure, I may make a propitiatory-covering for your sin.

So Moses returned unto Yahweh, and said, - Oh now, this people hath sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves - gods of gold.

Now, therefore, if thou wilt forgive their sin, -- but if not, blot me I pray thee out of thy book, which thou hast written,

Now, therefore, go lead the people to the place of which I spake to thee, lo! a my messenger, shall go before thee, - But, in the day when I do visit, then wilt I visit upon them their sin.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses - Say unto the sons of Israel, Ye, are a stiff-necked people, in one moment - if I should go up in thy midst, should I make an end of thee, - Now, therefore lay down thine ornaments from off thee, that I may see what I must do with thee.

Then said Moses, unto Yahweh, See! thou art saying unto me - Take up this people, and yet thou hast no let me know whom thou wilt send with me, - though thou thyself, didst say - I acknowledge thee by name, Yea, moreover, thou hast found favour in mine eyes.

Now, therefore, if, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, let me know, I beseech thee, thy way, that I may acknowledge thee, to the intent I may find favour in thine eyes, - see thou, therefore, that this nation is thine own people.

But be said - Thou canst not see my face, For no son of earth can see me, and life

and, no man, may come up with thee, and let no man so much as be seen in all the mount, - and let not even the flocks or the herds, feed in front of that mountain.

For I will root out nations from before thee, and will enlarge thy borders, - and no man shall covet thy land, when thou goes up to see the face of Yahweh thy God, three times in the year.

And it came to pass, when Moses came down out of Mount Sinai, with the two tables of testimony in the hand of Moses, when he came down out of the mount, that, Moses, knew not that the skin of his face shone, through his having spoken with him.

And Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, and lo! the skin of his face shone, and they stood in awe of drawing nigh unto him.

And afterwards, came nigh, all the sons of Israel, and he gave them in commandment all that Yahweh had spoken with him in Mount Sinai.

Thus shall Bezaleel and Oholiab work, and every man that is wise-hearted, in whom Yahweh hath put wisdom and understanding, to know how to work any manner of workmanship for the holy service, - according to all that Yahweh hath commanded.
