Now a new king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.

But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded them, but let the boys live.

When they came to Reuel their father, he said, “Why have you come back so soon today?”

Now the Lord said to Moses in Midian, “Go back to Egypt, for all the men who were seeking your life are dead.”

Moreover, the foremen of the sons of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten and were asked, “Why have you not completed your required amount either yesterday or today in making brick as previously?”

Then Moses returned to the Lord and said, “O Lord, why have You brought harm to this people? Why did You ever send me?

and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name, Lord, I did not make Myself known to them.

So Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses on account of their despondency and cruel bondage.

So Moses and Aaron did it; as the Lord commanded them, thus they did.

So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and thus they did just as the Lord had commanded; and Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a serpent.

Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers, and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts.

Yet Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord had said.

So Moses and Aaron did even as the Lord had commanded. And he lifted up the staff and struck the water that was in the Nile, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, and all the water that was in the Nile was turned to blood.

But the magicians of Egypt did the same with their secret arts; and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord had said.

The magicians did the same with their secret arts, making frogs come up on the land of Egypt.

The Lord did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, the courts, and the fields.

But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not listen to them, as the Lord had said.

They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were gnats on man and beast. All the dust of the earth became gnats through all the land of Egypt.

Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord had said.

Then the Lord did so. And there came great swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants and the land was laid waste because of the swarms of flies in all the land of Egypt.

The Lord did as Moses asked, and removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants and from his people; not one remained.

But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.

So the Lord did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the sons of Israel, not one died.

Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not even one of the livestock of Israel dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

And the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had spoken to Moses.

Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, just as the Lord had spoken through Moses.

But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the sons of Israel go.

They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.

Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh; yet the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the sons of Israel go out of his land.

Then the sons of Israel went and did so; just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

Pharaoh arose in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians, and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was no home where there was not someone dead.

The Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, “We will all be dead.”

Then all the sons of Israel did so; they did just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.

You shall tell your son on that day, saying, ‘It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’

Now when Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, even though it was near; for God said, “The people might change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt.”

He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.

Thus I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will chase after them; and I will be honored through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.

But Moses said to the people, “Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever.

So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud along with the darkness, yet it gave light at night. Thus the one did not come near the other all night.

Thus the Lord saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

Then they came to Elim where there were twelve springs of water and seventy date palms, and they camped there beside the waters.

When the sons of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “It is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat.

The sons of Israel did so, and some gathered much and some little.

But they did not listen to Moses, and some left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and became foul; and Moses was angry with them.

So they put it aside until morning, as Moses had ordered, and it did not become foul nor was there any worm in it.

Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field.

Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

So Moses listened to his father-in-law and did all that he had said.

‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to Myself.

The Lord also said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments;

But if he did not lie in wait for him, but God let him fall into his hand, then I will appoint you a place to which he may flee.

the owner of the pit shall make restitution; he shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall become his.

“If one man’s ox hurts another’s so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and divide its price equally; and also they shall divide the dead ox.

Or if it is known that the ox was previously in the habit of goring, yet its owner has not confined it, he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead animal shall become his.

Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the nobles of the sons of Israel; and they saw God, and they ate and drank.

Then Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you, that you have brought such great sin upon them?”

So the sons of Levi did as Moses instructed, and about three thousand men of the people fell that day.

Then Moses said, “Dedicate yourselves today to the Lord—for every man has been against his son and against his brother—in order that He may bestow a blessing upon you today.”

Then the Lord smote the people, because of what they did with the calf which Aaron had made.

So he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread or drink water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.

It came about when Moses was coming down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the testimony were in Moses’ hand as he was coming down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with Him.

Then all whose hearts moved them, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings and signet rings and bracelets, all articles of gold; so did every man who presented an offering of gold to the Lord.

He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second set.

There were two tenons for each board, fitted to one another; thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle.

They were double beneath, and together they were complete to its top to the first ring; thus he did with both of them for the two corners.

Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was completed; and the sons of Israel did according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses; so they did.

So the sons of Israel did all the work according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses.

Thus Moses did; according to all that the Lord had commanded him, so he did.

but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day when it was taken up.
