then he said - When ye act as midwives unto the Hebrew women, then shall ye look out for the sex, - If it is, a son, then shall ye kill it, But, if it is, a daughter, then shall it live.

Then gave Pharaoh command to all his people saying - Every son that is born to the Hebrews, into the river, shall ye cast him; But every daughter, shall ye suffer to live.

And the woman conceived and bare a son, - and she saw him, that he was a goodly child, so she hid him three months.

And the child grew, and she brought him in to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said - For out of the water, I drew him.

And she bare a son, and he called his name Gershom, - for he said, A, sojourner, I am, in a strange land.

Then said Yahweh, I have, seen, the humiliation of my people, who are in Egypt, - and their outcry, have I heard, by reason of their task-masters, for I know their pains;

Now, therefore, lo! the outcry of the sons of Israel, hath come in unto me, - moreover also, I have seen the oppression, wherewith the Egyptians are oppressing them.

And he said - I will be with thee, and, this, to thee, shall be the sign, that, I have sent thee, - When thou bringest forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall do service unto God, upon this mountain.

Then said Yahweh unto him, yet again - Bring, I pray thee, thy hand, into thy bosom. So he brought his hand, into his bosom, - and then took it out, and lo! his hand, was leprous, - like snow,

thus shall it come to pass, if they will not believe thee, nor hearken to the voice of the first sign, then will they believe the voice of the next sign;

Then shalt thou say unto Pharaoh, Thus, saith Yahweh - My son - my firstborn, is Israel;

Therefore I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me, But if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I, am going to slay, thy son, thy firstborn.

So Zipporah took a sharp stone and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it down at his feet, - and said - Surely, a bridegroom by rites of blood, art thou to me!

And, the sons of Simeon, Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitess. These, are the families of, Simeon.

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.

so will I put a separation betwixt my people and thy people. By to-morrow, shall come to pass this sign.

And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, will I spread out my hands unto Yahweh, - the thunderings, shall cease, and, the hail, shall come no more, - that thou mayest know, that to Yahweh, belongeth the earth.

and that thou mayest recount in the ears of thy son and thy sons' son, what I did in derision of the Egyptians, and my signs which I displayed among them, - so shall ye know that I, am Yahweh.

and they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants and the houses of all the Egyptians, such as thy fathers and thy fathers' fathers have never seen, from the day they came to be on the ground, until this day. And he turned away, and came out from the presence of Pharaoh.

Now, therefore, forgive I pray you my sin - only this time, and make entreaty to Yahweh your God, - that he may take away from me, at least, this death.

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.

Unleavened cakes, shall be eaten for the seven days, - neither shall there be seen with thee anything leavened, nor shall there be seen with thee leaven, within any of thy bounds,

And thou shalt toll thy son, on that day, saying, - This is because, of that which Yahweh did for me, when he brought me forth out of Egypt.

And it shall be to thee for a sign upon thy hand and for a memorial between thine eyes, in order that the law of Yahweh may be in thy mouth, - for with a strong hand, did Yahweh bring thee forth out of Egypt.

And it shall be when thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What is this? Then shalt thou say unto him: With strength of hand, did Yahweh bring us forth out of Egypt out of the house of slaves.

And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, - that, with strength of hand, did Yahweh bring us forth out of Egypt.

And Moses said unto the people - Do not fear, stand still and see the salvation of Yahweh, which be will work for you to-day, - for as for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall not again see them any more to times age-abiding.

Then moved they on from Elim, and all the assembly of the sons of Israel entered into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month, by their coming forth out of the land of Egypt.

Thus then they gathered it morning by morning, each man what he needed for eating, and as soon as the sun waxed hot, so soon it melted.

And all the assembly of the sons of Israel set forward out of the desert of Sin, by their removings, at the bidding of Yahweh, - and encamped in Rephidim, and there was no water for the people to drink.

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.

In the third month, by the coming forth of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, on this day, came they into the desert of Sinai:

then was it that they brake up out of Rephidim and came into the desert of Sinai, and encamped in the desert, - yea Israel encamped there before the mountain.

Ye, have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, - And how I bare you upon wings of eagles, And brought you in unto myself: -

and shall be ready, by the third day, - for on the third day, will Yahweh come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai.

And Mount Sinai, smoked, all over, because Yahweh had come down thereon in fire, - and the smoke thereof went up as the smoke of a furnace, and all the mountain trembled exceedingly.

Thus came Yahweh down upon Mount Sinai unto the top of the mount, - and Yahweh called Moses unto the top of the mount, and Moses went up.

And Moses said unto Yahweh, The people cannot come up into Mount Sinai, - for, thou thyself, hast adjured us saying: Set bounds to the mountain and hallow it.

but, the seventh day, is a sabbath unto Yahweh thy God, - thou shalt do no work, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant, nor thy handmaid, nor thy beast, nor thy sojourner who is within thy gates,

And Moses said unto the people - Do not fear, for to the end he may prove you, hath God come, - and to the end the reverence of him may be upon your faces that ye sin not.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Thus, shalt thou say, unto the sons of Israel, - Ye yourselves, have seen that out of the heavens, have I spoken with you.

But if, an altar of stones, thou wilt make to me, thou shalt not build them hewn, - for as soon as thou hast lifted, thy sharp tool, thereupon, thou hast profaned it;

If, a sin-covering, be laid on him, then shall he give a ransom for his life, according to whatsoever may be laid on him:

if, a son, he gore or, a daughter, he gore, according to this regulation, shall it be done to him;

should the sun have arisen upon him, there would be shedding of blood due for him, - he is surely to make restitution, if he hath nothing, then is he to be sold, for his theft.

If thou, do take in pledge, the mantle of thy neighbour, by the going in of the sun, shalt thou restore it to him;

Six days, shalt thou do thy work, but on the seventh day, shalt thou keep sabbath, - that thine ox may rest and thine ass, and that the son of thy handmaid and the sojourner may be refreshed.

they shall not dwell in thy land, lest they cause thee to sin against me, - for thou mightest serve their gods, verily! it would become to thee a snare!

And the glory of Yahweh rested upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days, - then called he unto Moses on the seventh day, out of the midst of the cloud.

but the flesh of the bullock and its skin, and its dung, shalt thou burn up with fire, outside the camp, - a sin-bearer, it is.

And a sin-bearing bullock, shalt thou offer daily, for them who are to be covered by propitiation, and shalt make a sin-cleansing for the altar, when thou puttest a propitiatory-covering thereon, - and shalt anoint it to hallow it.

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.

See, I have called by name, Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur of the tribe of Judah;

I myself, therefore, lo! I have given with him Oholiab, son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, and in the heart of every one that is wise-hearted, have I put wisdom, - so shall they make all that I have commanded thee -

Thou thyself, therefore, speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Surely, my sabbaths, shall ye keep, for, a sign it is betwixt me and you to your generations, that ye may know that I Yahweh do hallow you.

between me and the sons of Israel, a sign it is unto times age-abiding, - for in six days, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day, he rested, and was refreshed.

Then gave he unto Moses, as he finished speaking with him in Mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, - tables of stone, written with the finger of God,

And Moses said unto Aaron, What had this people done to thee, - that thou shouldst have brought upon them a great sin?

And Moses said - Install yourselves to-day, unto Yahweh, yea every man for his son and for his brother, - so will he bestow upon you to-day, a blessing.

And it came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye, have sinned a great sin, - Now, therefore, I must go up unto Yahweh, Peradventure, I may make a propitiatory-covering for your sin.

So Moses returned unto Yahweh, and said, - Oh now, this people hath sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves - gods of gold.

Now, therefore, if thou wilt forgive their sin, -- but if not, blot me I pray thee out of thy book, which thou hast written,

Now, therefore, go lead the people to the place of which I spake to thee, lo! a my messenger, shall go before thee, - But, in the day when I do visit, then wilt I visit upon them their sin.

Thus Yahweh used to speak unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend, - and when he returned unto the camp, his attendant Joshua son of Nun, a young man, moved not from the midst of the tent.

But be said - Thou canst not see my face, For no son of earth can see me, and life

Then will I take away my hand, and thou shalt see behind me, But, my face, must not be seen.

and be thou ready by the morning, - and thou shalt come up. in the morning, into Mount Sinai; then shalt thou station thyself for me there upon the top of the mount;

and, no man, may come up with thee, and let no man so much as be seen in all the mount, - and let not even the flocks or the herds, feed in front of that mountain.

So he hewed two tables of stone like the first and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up into Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, - and took in his hand two tables of stone.

Keeping lovingkindness to a thousand generations, Forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, Though he leave not, utterly unpunished, Visiting the iniquity of fathers, Upon sons, And upon sons' sons, Unto a third and unto a fourth generation.

and said - If, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, O My Lord, I pray thee let My Lord go on in our midst, - although a stiff-necked people, it is, so wilt thou pardon our iniquity and our sin and take us as thine own.

And it came to pass, when Moses came down out of Mount Sinai, with the two tables of testimony in the hand of Moses, when he came down out of the mount, that, Moses, knew not that the skin of his face shone, through his having spoken with him.

And afterwards, came nigh, all the sons of Israel, and he gave them in commandment all that Yahweh had spoken with him in Mount Sinai.

And Moses said unto the sons of Israel - See! Yahweh hath called by name, - Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

To teach also, hath be put in his heart, the heart of him, and of Oholiab - son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan;

These, are the details of the habitation - the habitation of testimony, which were detailed at the bidding of Moses, - the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

So then Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Yahweh had commanded Moses.

And, with him, was Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an artificer and skilful weaver, - and an embroiderer - in blue, and in purple and in crimson and in fine linen.
