All the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy, and Joseph was in Egypt already.

When Joseph was dead, and all his brethren and all that generation;

and made their lives bitter unto them with cruel labour in clay and brick, and all manner work in the fields, and in all manner of service, which they caused them to work cruelly.

And God therefore dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty,

Then Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, "All the men children that are born, cast into the river; and save the maid children alive."

Then Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, "Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I will reward thee for thy labour." And the woman took the child and nursed it up.

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.

Then Moses said, "I will go hence and see this great sight, how it cometh that the bush burneth not."

But come, I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring my people the children of Israel out of Egypt."

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.'"

And God spake further unto Moses, "Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, 'the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob hath sent me unto you': this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial throughout all generations.

And I have said it, that I will bring you out of the tribulation of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites: even a land that floweth with milk and honey.'

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

yea and I will therefore stretch out mine hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do therein. And after that he will let you go.

And I will get this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: so that when ye go, ye shall not go empty:

Moses answered and said, "See, they will not believe me nor hearken unto my voice: but will say, 'the LORD hath not appeared unto thee.'"

"If they will not believe thee, neither hear the voice of the first token: yet will they believe the voice of the second token.

But and if they will not believe the two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, then take of the water of the river and pour it upon the dry land. And the water which thou takest out of the river shall turn to blood upon the dry land."

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 the LORD said unto Moses, "When thou art come into Egypt again, see that thou do all the wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in thy hand: but I will harden his heart, so that he shall not let the people go.

and therefore sayeth unto thee: let my son go, that he may serve me. If thou wilt not let him go: behold, I will slay thine eldest son.'"

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.

So went Moses and Aaron and gathered all the elders of the children of Israel.

And Aaron told all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the miracles in the sight of the people,

I know not the LORD, neither will let Israel go." And they said, "The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he smite us either with pestilence or with sword."

They must have more work laid upon them, that they may labour therein, and then will they not turn themselves to false words."

Then went the taskmasters of the people and the officers out and told the people, saying, "Thus sayeth Pharaoh, "I will give you no more straw,

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

And the officers of the children of Israel which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten. And it was said unto them, "Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both yesterday and today, as well as in times past?"

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

For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath fared foul with this folk, and yet thou hast not delivered thy people at all."

Then the LORD said unto Moses, "Now shalt thou see what I will do unto Pharaoh, for with a mighty hand shall he let them go, and with a mighty hand shall he drive them out of his land."

Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, 'I am the LORD, and will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and will rid you out of their bondage, and will deliver you with a stretched-out arm and with great judgments.

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.

And I will bring you unto the land over the which I did lift up my hand to give it unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and will give it unto you for a possession: even I the LORD.'"

he spake unto him saying, "I am the LORD, see that thou speak unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt all that I say unto thee."

Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.

But I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that I may multiply my miracles and my wonders in the land of Egypt.

And yet, for all that, Pharaoh's heart was hardened, so that he hearkened not unto them, even as the LORD had said.

Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning, for he will come unto the water, and stand thou upon the river's brink against he come, and the rod which turned to a serpent take in thine hand.

Wherefore, thus sayeth the LORD: hereby thou shalt know that I am the LORD. Behold, I will smite with the staff that is in mine hand upon the waters that are in the river, and they shall turn to blood.

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.'"

And Moses and Aaron did even as the LORD commanded. And he lift up the staff and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, and all the water that was in the river, turned into blood.

And the fish that was in the river died, and the river stank: so that the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river. And there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.

If thou wilt not let them go, behold: I will smite all thy land with frogs.

And the frogs shall come upon thee and on thy people and upon all thy servants.'"

Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, "Pray ye unto the LORD that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people, and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice unto the LORD."

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Say unto Aaron, 'Stretch out thy rod and smite the dust of the land that it may turn to lice in all the land of Egypt.'"

And they did so. And Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and smote the dust of the earth, and it turned to lice both in man and beast, so that all the dust of the land turned to lice, throughout all the land of Egypt.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh, for he will come unto the water: and say unto him, 'Thus sayeth the LORD: let my people go, that they may serve me.

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.'"

And the LORD did even so; and there came noisome flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses and into all the land of Egypt: so that the land was marred with flies.

We will therefore go three days' journey into the desert and sacrifice unto the LORD our God as he hath commanded us."

And Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice unto the LORD your God in the wilderness: only go not far away, and see that ye pray for me."

And Moses said, "Behold, I will go out from thee and pray unto the LORD, and the flies shall depart from Pharaoh and from his servants and from his people tomorrow. But let Pharaoh from henceforth deceive no more, that he would not let the people go to sacrifice unto the LORD."

But for all that, Pharaoh hardened his heart even then also and would not let the people go.

But the LORD shall make a division between the beasts of the Israelites, and the beasts of the Egyptians: so that there shall nothing die of all that pertaineth to the children of Israel.'"

And the LORD did the thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.

and it shall turn to dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall make swelling sores with blains both on man and beast in all the land of Egypt."

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

or else I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart and upon thy servants and on thy people, that you mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.

For now I will stretch out my hand and will smite thee and thy people with pestilence: so that thou shalt perish from the earth.

Yet in very deed for this cause have I stirred thee up, for to show my power in thee, and to declare my name throughout all the world.

behold, tomorrow this time, I will send down a mighty great hail; even such one as was not in Egypt since it was grounded unto this time.

Send therefore and fetch home thy beasts and all that thou hast in the field. For upon all the men and beasts which are found in the field and not brought home, shall the hail fall, and they shall die.'"

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."

that there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, so grievous that there was none such in all the land of Egypt, since people inhabited it.

And the hail smote in the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast. And the hail smote all the herbs of the field and broke all the trees of the field:

Pray ye unto the LORD, that the thunder of God and hail may cease, and I will let you go, and ye shall tarry no longer."

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.

If thou wilt not let my people go: behold, tomorrow will I bring grasshoppers into thy land,

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 they shall fill thy houses and all thy servants' houses, and the houses of all the Egyptians; after such a manner as neither thy fathers nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the time they were upon the earth unto this day.'" And he turned himself about, and went out from Pharaoh.

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.

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.

And Moses stretched forth his hand unto heaven, and there was a dark mist upon all the land of Egypt three days long,

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.

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

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.

And Moses said, "Thus sayeth the LORD, 'About midnight will I go out among the Egyptians,

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 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.

"For I will go about in the land of Egypt this same night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both of man and beast, and upon all the gods of Egypt will I the LORD do execution.

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 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.

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

For the LORD will go about and smite Egypt. And when he seeth the blood upon the upper door post and on the two side posts, he will pass over the door and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your house to plague you.

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.
