These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob; each came with his family:

A new king, who had not known Joseph, came to power in Egypt.

But the more they oppressed them, the more they multiplied and spread so that the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites.

Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came to draw water and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.

Then some shepherds arrived and drove them away, but Moses came to their rescue and watered their flock.

Meanwhile, Moses was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. He led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

When Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

Then Moses said to the people, “Remember this day when you came out of Egypt, out of the place of slavery, for the Lord brought you out of here by the strength of His hand. Nothing leavened may be eaten.

On that day explain to your son, ‘This is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’

It came between the Egyptian and Israelite forces. The cloud was there in the darkness, yet it lit up the night. So neither group came near the other all night long.

The waters came back and covered the chariots and horsemen, the entire army of Pharaoh, that had gone after them into the sea. None of them survived.

They came to Marah, but they could not drink the water at Marah because it was bitter—that is why it was named Marah.

Then they came to Elim, where there were 12 springs of water and 70 date palms, and they camped there by the waters.

The entire Israelite community departed from Elim and came to the Wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had left the land of Egypt.

So at evening quail came and covered the camp. In the morning there was a layer of dew all around the camp.

On the sixth day they gathered twice as much food, four quarts apiece, and all the leaders of the community came and reported this to Moses.

The Israelites ate manna for 40 years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate manna until they reached the border of the land of Canaan.

At Rephidim, Amalek came and fought against Israel.

Moses’ father-in-law Jethro, along with Moses’ wife and sons, came to him in the wilderness where he was camped at the mountain of God.

Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and sacrifices to God, and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat a meal with Moses’ father-in-law in God’s presence.

After Moses came back, he summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the Lord had commanded him.

Then Moses came down from the mountain to the people and consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.

On the third day, when morning came, there was thunder and lightning, a thick cloud on the mountain, and a loud trumpet sound, so that all the people in the camp shuddered.

Mount Sinai was completely enveloped in smoke because the Lord came down on it in fire. Its smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain shook violently.

The Lord came down on Mount Sinai at the top of the mountain. Then the Lord summoned Moses to the top of the mountain, and he went up.

Observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you are to eat unleavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, because you came out of Egypt in that month. No one is to appear before Me empty-handed.

Moses came and told the people all the commands of the Lord and all the ordinances. Then all the people responded with a single voice, “We will do everything that the Lord has commanded.”

So I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, take it off,’ and they gave it to me. When I threw it into the fire, out came this calf!”

The Lord came down in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name Yahweh.

“Observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. You are to eat unleavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib as I commanded you. For you came out of Egypt in the month of Abib.

Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he commanded them to do everything the Lord had told him on Mount Sinai.

Everyone whose heart was moved and whose spirit prompted him came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its services, and for the holy garments.

Both men and women came; all who had willing hearts brought brooches, earrings, rings, necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry—everyone who waved a presentation offering of gold to the Lord.

Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work for the sanctuary came one by one from the work they were doing

They washed whenever they came to the tent of meeting and approached the altar, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
