Then called the king of Egypt for the midwives, and said to them - Wherefore have ye done this thing, that ye should let the male children live?

And she opened and beheld it - even the child, and lo! a boy weeping, - so she took pity on him, and said, Of the children of the Hebrews, is this.

And Pharaoh's daughter said to her - Take this child, and nurse it for me, and, I, will give thee thy wages. So the woman took the child, and nursed it.

So he turned this way and that, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

So Pharaoh heard this thing, and sought to slay Moses, - and Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian and sat down by the well.

And, Moses said, Let me turn aside, pray, and see this great sight, - why the thorn-bush, doth not burn up.

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.

And God said yet further unto Moses - Thus shalt thou say unto the sons of Israel, Yahweh God of your fathers. God of Abraham God of Isaac and God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you. This, is my name to times age-abiding, And, this, my memorial to generation after generation.

Thus will I give favour to this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, - so shall it come to pass that when ye do go, ye shall not go empty;

And Yahweh said unto him - What is this in thy hand? And he said - A staff.

And this staff, take thou in thy hand, - wherewith thou shalt do the signs.

Nevertheless, the fixed number of bricks, which they have been making heretofore, shall ye lay upon them, ye shall not diminish therefrom, - for idle, they are, on this account, it is that they are making an outcry, saying, We must go our way, we must sacrifice to our God.

But he said: Idle, ye are - idle, on this account, are, ye, saying, We must take our journey, we must sacrifice to Yahweh.

And Moses returned unto Yahweh and said, - O My Lord wherefore hast thou caused harm to this people? Wherefore now didst thou send me?

seeing that from what time I came in unto Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done harm to this people, and thou hast not delivered, thy people,

Then Pharaoh, turned away, and entered into his house - neither applied he his heart, even to this.

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

And Pharaoh made his heart dull, this time also, - and did not let the people go.

And Yahweh appointed a set time - saying, To-morrow, will Yahweh do this thing, in the land.

So Yahweh did this thing, on the morrow, and all the cattle of the Egyptians died, - but of the cattle of the sons of Israel, died not one.

for this time, am I, sending all my plagues unto thy heart, and amongst thy servants and amongst thy people, - to the intent thou mayest get to know, that there is none like me in all the earth.

but, in very deed for this purpose, have I let thee remain, for the purpose of showing thee my might, - and that my name may be celebrated in all the earth.

Behold me! raining down, about this time to-morrow, an exceeding heavy hail, - such as hath not been in Egypt, from the day it was founded, even unto the present time.

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 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.

Then said the servants of Pharaoh unto him, How long shall this man become to us a snare? Let the men go, that they may serve Yahweh their God. Not yet, knowest thou, that Egypt is, ruined?

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.

This month, is, to you, a beginning of months, - the first, it is, to you, of the months of the year.

Speak ye unto all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month, then let them take to them, each man a lamb for his ancestral household, a lamb for a household.

So shall it be yours, to keep, until the fourteenth day of this month, - then shall all the convocation of the assembly of Israel slay it between the two evenings.

I will pass along, therefore, throughout the land of Egypt this night, and will smite every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man even to beast, - and against all the gods of Egypt, will I execute judgments - I, Yahweh.

So shall this day serve you for a memorial, and ye shall celebrate it, as a festival to Yahweh, - to your generations - as an age-abiding statute, shall ye celebrate it.

So then ye shall observe the unleavened cakes, because on this self-same day, brought I forth your hosts out of the land of Egypt, - so then ye shall observe this day to your generations, as a statute age-abiding,

And ye shall observe this thing, - for a statute to thee and to thy sons unto times age-abiding.

And so it shall come to pass when ye shall enter into the land which Yahweh will give you as he hath spoken, - and ye shall observe this service;

and it shall come to pass that your sons shall say unto you, - What is this your service?

And it came to pass at the end of four hundred and thirty years, yea it came to pass, on this self-same day, that all the hosts of Yahweh had come forth out of the land of Egypt.

A night of solemn observances, it is unto Yahweh, for bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt, - this same night, pertaineth to Yahweh, for solemn observances by all the sons of Israel to their generations.

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

And it came to pass, on this self-same day, that Yahweh brought forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, by their hosts.

And Moses said unto the people - Ye are to remember this day, on which ye came forth out of Egypt out of the house of slaves, that with strength of hand, did Yahweh bring you forth from hence, - there shall not, therefore be eaten anything leavened.

And it shall be, when Yahweh shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite, and the Hivite and the Jebusite, which he sware to thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, then shalt thou serve with this service, in this month.

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.

So shalt thou observe this statute in its appointed time, - from year to year.

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 came to pass when Pharaoh had shown himself too hardened to let us go, then did Yahweh slay every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of men even unto the firstborn of beasts. For this cause, am, I, sacrificing to Yahweh whatsoever is born first, of the males, and every firstborn of my sons, must I redeem.

And it was told the king of Egypt, that the people had fled, - and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people, and they said - What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?

Then said they unto Moses, Was it because there were no graves in Egypt, that thou didst fetch us to die in the desert? What is this thou hast done to us, bringing us forth out of Egypt?

Is not this the word which we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians, - for it is better for us, to serve the Egyptians, than to die in the desert?

Then, sang Moses, and the sons of Israel, this song unto Yahweh, and they spake, saying, - I will sing to Yahweh, for he is exalted, exalted, - The horse and his rider, hath he cast into the sea.

My might and melody, is Yah, And he became mine, by salvation, - This, is my GOD, and I will glorify him, The God of my father and I will set him on high.

and, when they came in towards Marah they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter, - for this taut, was the name thereof called Marah.

and the sons of Israel said unto them - Oh that we had died by the hand of Yahweh, in the land of Egypt, when we remained by the pot of flesh, when we did eat bread to the full, - for ye have brought us forth into this desert, to cause all this multitude to die by famine.

and when the outpouring of dew went up, then lo! on the face of the desert, a thin flake, thin as hoar-frost on the earth,

This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded, Gather ye thereof, each man what he needeth for eating, - an omer a head, by the number of your souls, each man - for them who are in his tent, shall ye take.

See because Yahweh hath given you the sabbath, for this cause, is, he, giving you on the sixth day, food for two days, - abide ye every man in his place, let no man go forth from his dwelling, on the seventh day,

And Moses said - This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded, Fill an omer therefrom as a thing to be preserved to your generations, - that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the desert, when I brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.

And Moses made outcry unto Yahweh saying, What am I to do, with this people? Yet a little, and they will stone me.

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.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses - Write this as a remembrancer in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Jeshua - that I will, wipe out, the remembrance of Amalek, from under the heavens.

And when Moses father-in-law saw all that he, was doing for the people, he said - What is this thing which, thou, art doing for the people? Wherefore art, thou, sitting alone, with all the people, stationed by thee, from morning until evening?

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.

If, this thing, thou wilt do, and God shall command thee, then shalt thou be able to endure, - yea, moreover, all this people, shall go in, unto their dwellings, contented.

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:

For, in six days, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, and the sea - and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day, - for this cause, Yahweh blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.

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

For any affair of trespass - for an ox, for an ass, for a sheep, for a mantle for anything lost as to which one could say - This is it, unto God, shall come the affair of them both, - he whom God shall condemn, shall make restitution of double to his neighbour.

And, this is the heave-offering which ye shall take of them, - gold and silver and bronze;

And make thou one cherub out of this end, and the other cherub out of that end, - out of the propitiatory, shall ye make the cherubim upon the two ends thereof.

And, the cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side of that which remaineth, in the length of the curtains of the tent shall be hung over the sides of the habitation on this side and on that side to make a covering.

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.

This, moreover, is what thou shalt offer upon the altar, two lambs of a year old day by day, continually:

This, shall they give - every one that passeth over to them that have been numbered - a half-shekel by the shekel of the sanctuary, - the shekel is twenty gerahs - the half-shekel, shalt be a heave-offering to Yahweh.

And unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak, saying, An oil for holy anointing, shall this be to me, to your generations.

And, when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him - Up, make for us gods, who shall go before us, for, as for this Moses - the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him.

So then Yahweh said unto Moses, - I have looked on this people, and lo! a stiff-necked people, it is.

Have remembrance of Abraham, of Isaac and of Israel thy servants to whom thou didst swear by thyself, and didst speak unto them saying, I will multiply your seed, as the stars of the heavens, - and, all this land of which I have spoken, will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit it to times age-abiding.

And Moses turned and went down out of the mount, with the two tables of testimony in his hand, - tables written upon on both sides of them, on this and on that, were they written.

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

So they said to me - Make for us gods, who shall go before us, - for, as for this, Moses - the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him.

And I said to them - Whosoever hath gold let them break it off, So they gave it to me, - and I cast it into the fire, and there came out - this calf.

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.

Then said Moses, unto Yahweh, See! thou art saying unto me - Take up this people, and yet thou hast no let me know whom thou wilt send with me, - though thou thyself, didst say - I acknowledge thee by name, Yea, moreover, thou hast found favour in mine eyes.

Now, therefore, if, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, let me know, I beseech thee, thy way, that I may acknowledge thee, to the intent I may find favour in thine eyes, - see thou, therefore, that this nation is thine own people.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Even this thing, which thou hast spoken, will I do - For thou hast found favour in mine eyes, And I have acknowledged thee by name.

Take thou heed what, I, am commanding thee this day, - behold me! driving out from before thee - the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

And Moses spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, saying, This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded, saying,

one cherub, out of this end, and, one cherub, out of that end, out of the propitiatory itself, made he the cherubim, out of the two ends thereof:

and, for the second sidepiece on this side and on that of the gate of the court, hangings, fifteen cubits, - their pillars three, and their sockets, three.
