and embittered their lives with harsh service, in clay and in bricks, and in all manner of service in the field, - all their service, wherein they rigorously made them serve.

And he said - Do not draw nigh hither, - put off thy sandals from thy feet, for, the place whereon thou art standing is holy ground.

Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh against Moses, and he said - Is there not Aaron, thy brother, the Levite? I know that he lean speak. Moreover also lo! he himself is coming forth to meet thee, as surely as he seeth thee, so surely will he rejoice in his heart.

And Yahweh said unto Aaron, Go thy way to meet Moses, towards the desert. So he went his way, and fell in with him in the mountain of God and kissed him.

And Moses told Aaron, all the words of Yahweh wherewith he had sent him, - and all the signs wherewith he had charged him.

So Moses and Aaron went their way, - and gathered together all the elders of the sons of Israel.

And Aaron spake all the words which Yahweh had spoken unto Moses, - and did the signs before the eyes of the people,

And afterwards, Moses and Aaron went in and said unto Pharaoh, - Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a festival to me in the desert.

And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore O Moses and Aaron should ye loose the people from their works? Get you to your burdens.

So they fell upon Moses and upon Aaron, stationing themselves to meet them, - as they came forth from Pharaoh;

Moreover also I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, - even the land of their sojournings wherein they sojourned.

Thus then did Yahweh speak unto Moses and unto Aaron, yea he gave them a charge unto the sons of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, for the bringing forth of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

So then, Amram took Jochebed, his father's sister to himself to wife, and she bare to him - Aaron and Moses. And, the years of the life of Amram, were a hundred and thirty-seven.

And Aaron took Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nahshon, to himself to wife, - and she bare to him - Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

And Eleazar, son of Aaron took to himself one of the daughters of Putiel, to himself to wife, and she bare to him Phinehas. These, are the heads of the fathers of the Levites by their families.

The same, Aaron and Moses, - to whom said Yahweh, Bring ye forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, according to their hosts:

They who were to speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring forth the sons of Israel out of Egypt: The same, Moses and Aaron.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses - See! I have appointed thee to be God unto Pharaoh, - and, Aaron thy brother, shall be thy prophet!

Thou, shalt speak all that which I may command thee, and, Aaron thy brother, shall speak unto Pharaoh, and he shall let the sons of Israel go out of his land.

And Moses and Aaron did so , - as Yahweh commanded them, so, did they.

Now Moses, was eighty years old, and, Aaron, eighty-three years old, - when they spake unto Pharaoh.

And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying:

When Pharaoh shall speak unto you saying, Shew for yourselves a wonder, then shalt thou say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and cast it down before Pharaoh let it become a sea-serpent.

So Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and did so as Yahweh had commanded, - and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and before his servants and it became a sea-serpent,

yea they cast down each man his staff, and they became sea-serpents, - but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves.

And Yahweh said unto Moses, - Say unto Aaron - Take thy staff, and stretch forth thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams over their rivers, and over their pools and over all their collections of water - that they may become blood, - so shall there be blood in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.

And Moses and Aaron, did so, as Yahweh commanded, and he lifted high the staff, and smote the waters which were in the river, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants, - and all the waters which were in the river were turned to blood;

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto Aaron - Stretch forth thy hand with thy staff, over the streams over the rivers and over the pools, - and bring up the frogs, over the land of Egypt.

So Aaron stretched forth his hand, over the waters of Egypt, - and the frog came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

Then called Pharaoh for Moses and for Aaron and said - Make entreaty unto Yahweh, that he take away the frogs from me and from my people, - and I must lot the people go that they may sacrifice to Yahweh.

Then went forth Moses and Aaron from Pharaoh, - and Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, over the matter of the frogs which he had appointed for Pharaoh.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto Aaron - Stretch forth thy staff, and smite the dust of the land, - so shall it become gnats in all the land of Egypt.

And they did so, and Aaron stretched forth his hand with his staff and smote the dust of the land, and there canto to be gnats, among men and among beasts, - all the dust of the land, became gnats, in all the land of Egypt.

But if thou art not letting my people go, behold me! sending forth - against thee, and against thy servants, and against thy people, and against thy houses the gad-fly, - and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of the gad-fly, moreover also the ground whereon, they are:

then will I make to differ on that day, the land of Goshen wherein my people do dwell, so that there shall not be there a gad-fly! in order that thou mayest know, that I, Yahweh, am in the midst of the land;

Then did Pharaoh cry out - unto Moses and to Aaron, - and said-Go your way, sacrifice to your God, in the land.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take you your hands full of the ashes of an oven, - and Moses shall scatter them towards the heavens, before the eyes of Pharaoh:

Then sent Pharaoh, and called for Moses and for Aaron, and said unto them - I have sinned this time, - Yahweh, is the righteous one, and, I and my people, are the wrong-doers.

And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him - Thus, saith Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, How long hast thou refused to humble thyself before me? Let my people go that they may serve me.

So Moses and Aaron were brought back unto pharaoh, and he said unto them - Go, serve Yahweh your God, - who, are they that are going?

Then hastened Pharaoh, to call for Moses and for Aaron, - and said - I have sinned against Yahweh your God, and against you.

So then, Moses and Aaron, did all these wonders before Pharaoh, - but Yahweh let Pharaoh's heart wax bold, and he did not let the sons of Israel go out of his land.

Then spake Yahweh, unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt saying -

And they shall take of the blood, and put upon the two door-posts and upon the upper-beam, - upon the houses wherein they are to eat it.

Then shall the blood serve you for a sign, on the houses wherein ye are, then will I behold the blood, and will pass over you, - and there shall be among you no plague to destroy, when I smite the laud of Egypt.

And the sons of Israel went their way and did, - as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so, did they.

So he called for Moses and for Aaron by night and said - Rise ye, go forth out of the midst of my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, - and go serve Yahweh according to your word;

And Yahweh said unto Moses and Aaron: This, is the statute of the passover, - No stranger, shall eat thereof;

Thus did all the sons of Israel, - as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so, did they.

Then took Miriam the prophetess, sister of Aaron the timbrel in her hand, - and all the women came forth after her with timbrels and dances,

Then did all the assembly of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the desert;

So Moses and Aaron said unto all the sons of Israel, - At eventide, then shall ye know that it was, Yahweh, who brought you forth, out of the land of Egypt;

And Moses said unto Aaron, Say unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, Draw near, before Yahweh, - for he hath heard your murmurings.

And it came to pass, when Aaron spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, then turned they towards the desert, - and lo! the glory of Yahweh, had appeared in the cloud,

So Moses said unto Aaron - Take a single basket, and put therein an omer-full of manna, - and set it down before Yahweh, as a thing to be preserved to your generations.

As Yahweh gave command unto Moses, so did Aaron set it down before the testimony, as a thing to be preserved,

And, the sons of Israel did eat the manna forty years, until they entered into the land wherein they were to dwell, - the manna, they did eat until they entered into the bounds of the land of Canaan.

So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, to fight with Amalek, - and Moses, Aaron and Hur, went up to the top of the hill.

But, the hands of Moses, were weary, so they took a stone, and put under him, and he sat thereupon, - and, Aaron and Hur, upheld his hands - on this side, one and on that side, one, and so his hands became steady, until the going in of the sun.

Now, I know, that, greater, is Yahweh than all the gods, - Even in the thing wherein they were arrogant over them.

Then took Jethro father-in-law of Moses, an ascending-offering and sacrifices to God, - and Aaron and all the elders of Israel came in to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses before God.

Thou wilt get quite worn out, both thou and this people that is with thee, - for the thing is too heavy for thee, thou canst not do it, alone.

and shalt cause to shine upon them, the statutes and the laws, - and make known to them the way wherein they should go, and the work they should do.

And Yahweh said unto him - Away, down, then shalt thou come up, thou and Aaron with thee, - but as for the priests and the people, let it not be that they press through to come up unto Yahweh lest he break in upon them.

for that is his only covering, that, is his mantle, for his skin, - wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass when he maketh outcry unto me, then will I hear because, gracious, I am.

And unto Moses, he said - Come up unto Yahweh - thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, so shall ye bow yourselves down from afar.

Then went up Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel;

but, unto the elders, he said - Tarry for us here, until we return unto you. And lo! Aaron and Hur, are with you, he that hath a cause, let him draw near unto them.

In the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is by the testimony, shall Aaron and his sons order it from evening until morning, before Yahweh, - a statute age-abiding, to their generations, from the sons of Israel.

Thou thyself, therefore bring near unto thee - Aaron thy brother and his sons with him out of the midst of the sons of Israel, that they may minister as priests unto me, - Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar sons of Aaron.

And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, - for glory and for beauty.

Thou thyself, therefore, shalt speak unto all the wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, - and they shall make Aaron's garments, to hallow him for ministering as priest unto me.

These, therefore are the garments which they shall make - a breastpiece, and an ephod and a robe, and a tunic of checker work, a turban and a girdle, - so shall they make holy garments for Aaron thy brother and for his sons, for ministering as priests unto me.

And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulderpieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, - so shall Aaron bear their names before Yahweh upon his two shoulders, for a memorial.

So shall Aaron bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastpiece for giving sentence upon his heart when he goeth into the holy place, - for a memorial before Yahweh continually.

Thus shalt thou place, in the breastpiece for giving sentence, the lights and the perfections, so shall they be upon the heart of Aaron when he goeth in before Yahweh, - so shall Aaron bear the sentence of the sons of Israel, upon his heart before Yahweh continually.

And it shall be upon Aaron, for ministering, - so shall be heard the sound of him - when he goeth into the holy place, before Yahweh, and cometh out, and dieth not.

So shall it be upon the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the hallowed things, which the sons of Israel shall hallow, for all their hallowed gift, - and it shall be upon his forehead continually, that there may be acceptance for them before Yahweh.

And, for the sons of Aaron, shalt thou make tunics, and shalt make for them girdles, - and caps, shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.

And thou shalt clothe therewith Aaron thy brother, and his sons, with him, - and shalt anoint them and install them, and hallow them, so shall they minister as priests unto me.

so shall they be upon Aaron and upon his sons, when they go into the tent of meeting, or when they approach unto the altar, to minister in the holy place, lest they bear iniquity, and die, - a statute age-abiding, to him and to his seed after him.

And Aaron and his sons, shalt thou bring near, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, - and shalt bathe them in water.

And thou shalt take the garments and clothe Aaron - with the tunic, and with the robe of the ephod, and with the ephod, and with the breastpiece, - and shalt gird him with the curious band of the ephod;

and thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and twist round for them caps, so shall they have priesthood by a statute age-abiding, - so shalt thou install, Aaron and his sons.

And thou shalt bring near the bullock, before the tent of meeting, - and Aaron and his sons shall lean their hands upon the head of the bullock;

One ram also, shalt thou take, and Aaron and his sons shall lean their hands, upon the head of the ram;

Then shalt thou take the second ram, - and Aaron and his sons shall lean their hands upon the head of the ram;

then shalt thou slay the ram, and take of its blood, and place upon the tip of the ear of Aaron and upon the tip of the ear of his sons - the right ear, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, - and shalt dash the blood upon the altar round about.

Then shalt thou take of the blood that is upon the altar and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle upon Aaron and upon his garments, and upon his sons and upon the garments of his sons with him, - so shall he be hallowed - he, and his garments, and his sons and the garments of his sons, with him.

and shalt lay the whole upon the trends of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, - then shalt thou wave them to and fro as a wave-offering, before Yahweh;

Then shalt thou take the breast from the ram of installation which is for Aaron, and shalt wave it as a wave-offering, before Yahweh, - so shall it be thy share,

And thou shalt hallow the breast of the wave-offering, and the shoulder of the heave-offering, which is waved to and fro, and which is heaved up, from the ram of installation, from that which is for Aaron, and from that which is for his sons;

so shall it belong to Aaron and to his sons for an age-abiding statute from the sons of Israel, for a heave-offering, it is, - and, a heave-offering, shall it remain, from the sons of Israel out of their peace-offerings, their heave-offering to Yahweh.

And, the holy garments which belong to Aaron, shall belong to his sons, after him,-to be anointed therein, and to he installed therein,

and Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, - at the opening of the tent of meeting:

So then thou shalt do for Aaron and for his sons, in this manner, according to all which I have commanded, thee, - seven days, shalt thou install them.

Thus will I hallow the tent of meeting, and the altar, - and, Aaron and his sons, will I hallow, to minister as priests unto me.

And Aaron shall burn thereon fragrant incense, - morning by morning, when he trimmeth the lamps, shall he burn it;

and, when Aaron lighteth the lamps, between the evenings, shall he burn it, - a continual incense before Yahweh, to your generations.

But Aaron shall put a propitiatory-covering upon the horns thereof, once in the year: of the blood of the sin-bearer for propitiatory-coverings, once in the year, shall he put a propitiatory-covering thereupon to your generations, most holy, it is to Yahweh.
