Then the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said unto them, "Why have ye dealt on this manner and have saved the men children?"

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.

The priest of Midian had seven daughters which came and drew water and filled the troughs, for to water their father's sheep.

and he called him Gershom: for he said, "I have been a stranger in a strange land." And she bare yet another son, whom he called Eliezer saying, "The God of my father is mine helper, and hath rid me out of the hands of Pharaoh."

And when the LORD saw that he came for to see, he called unto him out of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses." And he answered, "Here am I."

And he said, "Come not hither, but put thy shoes off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground."

And he said, "I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

Then the LORD said, "I have surely seen the trouble of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry, which they have of their taskmasters. For I know their sorrow,

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 the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, "Return again into Egypt for they are dead which went about to kill thee."

And Pharaoh answered, "What fellow is the LORD, that I should hear his voice for to let Israel go?

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.'

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

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

and said unto them, "The LORD look unto you and judge! For ye have made the savour of us stink in the sight of Pharaoh and of his servants, and have put a sword into their hands to slay us."

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."

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.'"

And Moses told the children of Israel even so: But they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit and for cruel bondage.

Then Pharaoh called for the wise men, and enchanters of Egypt did in like manner with their sorcery.

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.

And the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink, for they could not drink of the water of the river.

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 Moses said unto Pharaoh, "Appoint thou the time unto me, when I shall pray for thee and thy servants and thy people, to drive away the frogs from thee and thy house, so that they shall remain but in the river only."

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.

Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, "Go and do sacrifice unto your God in the land."

And Moses answered, "It is not mete so to do. For we must offer unto the LORD our God, that which is an abomination unto the Egyptians: behold shall we sacrifice that which is an abomination unto the Egyptians before their eyes, and shall they not stone 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."

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

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.

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 Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, "I have now sinned, the LORD is righteous and I and my people are wicked.

The flax and the barley were smitten, for the barley was shot up and the flax was bolled:

but the wheat and the rye were not smitten, for they were late sown.

And Moses answered, "We must go with young and old: yea and with our sons and with our daughters, and with our sheep and oxen must we go. For we must hold a feast unto the LORD."

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.

Nay, not so: but go ye that are men and serve the LORD, for that was your desire." And they thrust them out of Pharaoh's presence.

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."

Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and said, "I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.

Then Pharaoh called for Moses and said, "Go and serve the LORD; only let your sheep, and your oxen abide, but let your children go with you."

And Moses answered, "Thou must give us also offerings and burnt offerings for to sacrifice unto the LORD our God.

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 Pharaoh said unto him, "Get thee from me and take heed to thyself that thou see my face no more. For whensoever thou comest in my sight, thou shalt die."

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.

Of this manner shall ye eat it: with your loins girded, and shoes on your feet, and your staves in your hands. And ye shall eat it in haste; for it is the LORD's Passover.

"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.

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.

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.

And Moses called for the elders of Israel and said unto them, "Choose out, and take to every household a sheep and kill, Passover.

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.

Then Pharaoh arose the same night and all his servants and all the Egyptians, and there was a great crying throughout Egypt, for there was no house where there was not one dead.

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."

And they baked sweet cakes of the dough which they brought out of Egypt, for it was not soured: because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not tarry, neither had they prepared them any other provision of meat.

but all the servants that are bought for money shall ye circumcise, and then let them eat thereof.

"Sanctify unto me all the firstborn that open all manner matrices among the children of Israel, as well of men as of beasts: for they are mine."

And Moses said unto the people, "Think on this day in which ye came out of Egypt and out of the house of bondage: for with a mighty hand the LORD brought you out from thence. See therefore that ye eat no leavened bread.

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;

When Pharaoh had let the people go, God carried them not through the land of the Philistines, though it were a nigh way. For God said, "The people might haply repent when they see war, and so turn again to Egypt."

And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he made the children of Israel swear, saying, "God will surely visit you, take my bones therefore away hence with you."

For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 'They are tangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.'

For the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he followed after the children of Israel which for all that went out through a high hand.

Then said they unto Moses, "Were there no graves for us in Egypt, but thou must bring us away for to die in the wilderness? Wherefore hast thou served us thus, for to carry us out of Egypt?

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 Moses said unto the people, "Fear ye not, but stand still and behold how the LORD shall save you this day: For as ye see the Egyptians this day, shall ye see them no more forever till the world's end.

The LORD shall fight for you and ye shall hold your peace."

and smote off their chariot wheels and cast them down to the ground. Then said the Egyptians, "Let us flee from Israel, for the LORD fighteth for them against us."

Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song unto the LORD, and said, "Let us sing unto the LORD, for he is become glorious, the horse and him that rode upon him hath he overthrown in the sea!

Bring them in and plant them in the mountains of thine inheritance, the place, LORD, which thou hast made for to dwell in, the sanctuary, LORD, which thy hands have prepared.

For Pharaoh went in on horseback with his chariots and horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought the waters of the sea upon them. And the children of Israel went on dry land through the midst of the sea.

And Miriam sang before them, "Sing ye unto the LORD, for he is become glorious indeed! The horse and his rider hath he overthrown in the sea!"

At the last they came to Marah: but they could not drink of the waters for bitterness, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of the place was called Marah.

and said, "If ye will hearken unto the voice of the LORD your God, and will do that which is right in his sight and will give an ear unto his commandments, and keep all his ordinances: then will I put none of these diseases upon thee which I brought upon the Egyptians, for I am the LORD thy surgeon."

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."

and in the morning ye shall see the glory of the LORD: because he hath heard your grudgings against the LORD - for what are we that ye should murmur against us?"

And moreover spake Moses, "At evening the LORD will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning bread enough, because the LORD hath heard your murmur which ye murmur against him: for what are we? Your murmuring is not against us, but against the LORD."

And Moses spake unto Aaron, "Say unto all the company of the children of Israel, 'Come forth before the LORD, for he hath heard your grudgings.'"

When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, "What is this?" For they wist not what it was. And Moses said, "This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, that ye gather every man enough for him to eat: a gomer full for a man according to the number of you, and gather every man for them which are in his tent."

and did mete it with a gomer. And unto him that had gathered much remained nothing over, and unto him that had gathered little was there no lack: but every man had gathered sufficient for his eating.

And they gathered it all mornings: every man as much as sufficed for his eating, for as soon as the heat of the sun came it melted.

And the sixth day they gathered twice so much bread, two gomers for one man, and the rulers of the multitude came and told Moses.

And he said unto them, "This is that which the LORD hath said, 'Tomorrow is the Sabbath of the holy rest of the LORD: bake that which ye will bake and fetch that ye will fetch, and that which remaineth lay up for you, and keep it till the morning."

And Moses said, "That, eat this day: for today it is the LORD's Sabbath; today ye shall find none in the field.

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

Notwithstanding, there went out of the people in the seventh day for to gather: but they found none.

See: because the LORD hath given you a Sabbath, therefore he giveth you, the sixth day, bread for two days. Bide therefore every man at home, and let no man go out of his place the seventh day."

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,

And all the company of the children of Israel went on their journeys from the wilderness of Sin at the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: where was no water for the people to drink.

There the people thirsted for water, and murmured against Moses and said, "Wherefore hast thou brought us out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?"

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Write this for a remembrance in a book and tell it unto Joshua, for I will put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."

for he said, "The hand is on the seat of the LORD, that the LORD will have war with Amalek throughout all generations."

and her two sons, of which the one was called Gershom - for he said, "I have been an alien in a strange land" -

And the other was called Eliezer - "For the God of my father was mine help and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh."

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.
