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,

"When ye midwife the women of the Hebrews and see in the birth time that it is a boy, kill it. But if it be a maid, let it live."

And when she could no longer hide him, she took a basket of bulrushes and daubed it with slime and pitch, and laid the child therein, and put it in the flags by the river's brink.

And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to the river to wash herself, and her maidens walked along by the river's side. And when she saw the basket among the flags, she sent one of her maids and caused it to be fetched.

And he looked round about: and when he saw that there was no man by, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

And Pharaoh heard of it and went about to slay Moses: but he fled from Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well's side.

And it chanced, in process of time, that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel sighed by the reason of labour, and cried.

And he said, "I will be with thee. And this shall be a token unto thee that I have sent thee: after that thou hast brought the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain."

Then said God unto Moses, "I Will Be What I Will Be." And he said, "This shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, 'I Will Be did send me to you.'"

Notwithstanding, I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, except it be with a mighty hand:

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.

Go therefore and I will be with thy mouth and teach thee what thou shalt say."

And the LORD was angry with Moses, and said, "I know Aaron thy brother, the Levite, that he can speak. And moreover behold, he cometh out to meet thee, and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.

And thou shalt speak unto him and put the words in his mouth, and I will be with thy mouth and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.

And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: he shall be thy mouth, and thou shalt be his God:

And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law again, and said unto him, "Let me go, I pray thee, and turn again unto my brethren which are in Egypt, that I may see whether they be yet alive." And Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace."

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

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.

And the number of bricks which they were wont to make in time past, lay unto their charge also, and minish nothing thereof. For they be idle and therefore cry, saying, 'Let us go and do sacrifice unto our God.'

but go yourselves and gather you straw where ye can find it, yet shall none of your labour be minished.'"

Then the people scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt for to gather them stubble to be instead of straw.

And the taskmasters hasted them forward, saying, "Fulfill your work day by day, even as when straw was given you."

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

And I will take you for my people and will be to you a God. And ye shall know that I am the LORD your God which brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

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.

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.

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

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.'"

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.

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.

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

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.

so that the sorcerers could not stand before Moses, by the reason of botches on the enchanters and upon all the Egyptians.

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

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."

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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."

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

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

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

"This month shall be your chief month: even the first month of the year shall it be unto you.

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.

A sheep without spot and a male of one year old shall it be, and from among the lambs and the goats shall ye take it.

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.

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 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 he called unto Moses and Aaron by night, saying, "Rise up, and get you out from among my people: both ye and also the children of Israel, and go and serve the LORD as ye have said.

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."

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.

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."

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

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.

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 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 this shall be as a token in thine hand, and as a thing hanged up between thine eyes: because the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand."

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.

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

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.

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."

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.

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

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."

"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."

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

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

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.

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,

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

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

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.

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 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.

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,

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."

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.

Ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests and a holy people.' These are the words which thou shalt say unto the children of Israel."

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.

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."

See that thou neither bow thyself unto them neither serve them: for I, the LORD thy God, am a jealous God, and visit the sin of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:

"Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
