And it came to pass that all the persons who were descended from Jacob were seventy souls, - but, Joseph, was already in Egypt.

But the sons of Israel, were fruitful and swarmed and multiplied and waxed mighty, with exceeding vigour, - so that the land was filled with them.

Then said the king of Egypt to the Hebrew midwives, - of whom, the name of the one was, Shiphrah, and, the name of the other Puah; -

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

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.

And he said - Who hath set thee for a chief and a judge over us? To slay me, art thou thinking, as thou didst slay the Egyptian? Then was Moses afraid, and said - Surely the thing is, known!

And Moses was well-pleased to dwell with the man, - and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.

Now, Moses, was shepherding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law priest of Midian, - so he led forth the flock behind the desert, and came in unto the mountain of God to Horeb.

Then appeared the messenger of Yahweh unto him, in a flame of fire from the midst of the thorn-bush, - so he looked and lo! the thorn-bush burning with fire and yet the thorn-bush, was not consumed.

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

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,

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.

So he let him go, Then, it was that she said, A bridegroom by rites of blood - with regard to the rites of circumcision.

the taskmasters, meanwhile, being urgent saying, - Complete your works, The task of a day, in its day, as when the straw was provided.

Then did the overseers of the sons of Israel see themselves to be in an evil case, when it was said, - Ye shall not diminish from your bricks - the task of a day, in its day

I appeared, therefore, unto Abraham unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as GOD Almighty, - although, by my name Yahweh was I not made known to them;

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

Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning - lo! he is coming out to the waters, therefore shalt thou station thyself to meet him on the bank of the river, - and the staff which was turned into a serpent, shalt thou take in thy hand.

and the fish that was in the river, died and the river became loathsome, so that the Egyptians could not drink water out of the river, - thus came it to pass that blood was in all the land of Egypt.

And Yahweh did so, and brought a grievous gad-fly unto the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants and in all the land of Egypt, and the land was laid waste by reason of the gad-fly.

So they took the ashes of an oven and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses scattered them towards the heavens, - and it came to pass that there was a burning sore in pustules breaking out, among men, and among beasts;

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.

And the hail smote in all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast, - and every herb of the field, did the hail smite, and every tree of the field, did it shiver.

Only in the land of Goshen, where were the sons of Israel, was there no hail.

Now, the flax and the barley, were smitten, - for the barley, was in the ear, and, the flax, was in flower;

So Moses went away from Pharaoh out of the city, and spread out his hands unto Yahweh, - then did the thunderings and the hail cease, and, rain, was not poured out on the earth.

So it covered the eye of all the land and the land was darkened, and it did eat every herb of the land and all the fruit of the trees, which the hail had left remaining, - so that there was not left remaining any green sprout in the trees or in the herb of the field in all the land of Egypt.

and Yahweh turned back a west wind strong exceedingly, and carried away the locust and cast it into the Red Sea, - there was not left a single locust in all the bounds of Egypt.

So Moses stretched forth his hand over the heavens, - and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days;

And Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, - and he was not willing to let them go.

And Yahweh gave the people favour, in the eyes of the Egyptians, - even the man Moses himself, was exceeding great in the land of Egypt, - in the eyes of Pharaoh's servants and in the eyes of the people.

then shall there be a great outcry, in all the land of Egypt, - such, as never was and, such, as shall not be again.

And it came to pass, at midnight, that Yahweh, smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat upon his throne, unto the firstborn of the captive who was in the pit of his prison, - and every firstborn of beasts.

Then rose up Pharaoh by night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there arose a great outcry throughout Egypt, - for there was not a house, where there was not one dead.

So the people took up their dough, ere yet it was leavened, - with their kneading-bowls, bound up in their mantles on their shoulders,

Now, the time during which the sons of Israel dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

And it came to pass when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead by the land-way of the Philistines, although it was near, - for God said - Lest the people be dismayed when they see war and turn back to Egypt.

Now, Yahweh, was going before them - by day, in a pillar of cloud to lead them the way, and by night, in a pillar of fire to give them light, - that they might journey day and night:

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?

And the messenger of God who was going on before the camp of Israel removed, and came on behind them, - and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them;

thus the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the forces of Pharaoh that were entering after them into the sea, - there was not left remaining among them so much as one.

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.

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 it came to pass, in the evening, that there came up quail, and covered the camp, - and in the morning was the outpouring of dew, round about the camp;

And when the sons of Israel saw it they said one to another - What is that? For they knew not what "that" was. Then said Moses unto them, "That" is the bread which Yahweh hath given you to eat.

But they hearkened not unto Moses, but certain men left thereof until morning, and it swarmed with worms and become loathsome, - and Moses was wroth with them.

So they put it by until the morning, as Moses had commanded, - and it gave no unpleasant odour, neither was there a worm, therein.

And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna, - and the same, was like coriander seed white, and the taste thereof, like flat-cake with honey,

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.

and her two sons, - of whom, the name of the one, was Gershom, for, said he, A sojourner, am I in a strange land,

and, the name of the other, Eliezer, for the God of my father, was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.

And Jethro, Moses father-in-law, came in, with his two sons and his wife, unto Moses, - into the desert where, he, was encamping, the mountain of God;

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?

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.

And Yahweh said unto Moses - Go unto the people, and thou shalt hallow them to-day, and to-morrow, - and they shall wash their clothes;

So then the people stood afar off, and, Moses, approached unto the thick gloom, where God was.

If, by himself, he came in, by himself, shall he go out, - if he was married, then shall his wife go out with him.

But, if, the ox, was wont to gore before that time and it hath been attested to his owner, and he hath not proceeded to put him under guard, and he causeth the death of man or woman, the ox, shall be stoned, and, his owner also, shall be put to death.

Or if it was known that, an ox, was, wont to gore, before that time, and his owner proceeded not to put him under guard, he shall surely make good, - an ox for the ox, and, the dead one, shall be his.

If it be, verily torn in pieces, he shall bring it in as a witness - for that which was torn, he shall not make restitution.

If, its owner, was with it, he shall not make restitution, - if it is, hired, it cometh into its hire.

And the appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like a consuming fire h on the top of the mountain, - in the sight of the sons of Israel.

And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and ascended into the mountain. And it came to pass that Moses was in the mountain forty days and forty nights.

And see thou and make them, by the pattern of them, which thou wast caused to behold in the mount

So shalt thou rear up the habitation, according to the fashion thereof, which thou wast caused to see in the mount.

Hollow with boards, shalt thou make it, - as it was showed thee in the mount, so, shall they make it.

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.

So then Yahweh was grieved, - over the calamity - which he had spoken of inflicting on his people.

Now as for, the tables, the work of God, they were, - and, as for the writing, the writing of God, it was, graven upon the tables.

And, Moses, proceeded to take a tent, and pitch it by itself outside the camp, afar off from the camp, and he called it, The Tent of Meeting, - and so it came to pass that whosoever was seeking Yahweh went out unto the tent of meeting, which was on the outside of the camp.

So then he was there, with Yahweh, forty days and forty nights, bread, did he not eat and, water, did he not drink, and he wrote upon the tables, the words of the covenant, the ten words.

And, every man with whom was found blue and purple and crimson and fine linen and goats-hair, - and rams' skins dyed red and badgers skins brought them in.

Every one who would heave a heave-offering of silver or bronze, brought in the heave-offering of Yahweh, - and, every one with whom was found acacia wood for any construction for the service, brought it in.

So then Moses called upon Bezaleel, and upon Oholiab, and upon every man that was wise-hearted, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, - every one whose heart lifted him up, to draw near unto the work, to do it.

For the material was enough for all the work, to make it, - and to spare.

The length of each curtain, was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four cubits, for each curtain, - one measure, had all the curtains.

Fifty loops, made he in the first curtain, and fifty loops, made he in the edge of the curtain that was in the second set, - the loops being, opposite, one to another.

the length of each curtain, was thirty cubits, and, four cubits, was the breath of each curtain, - one measure, had the eleven curtains.

And he made fifty loops upon the border of the curtain that was outmost in the one set and fifty loops, made he upon the border of the curtain of the second set.

And, the sockets for the pillars, were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver, - and the overlaying of their capitals, was silver, - and, they themselves, were filleted with silver, even all the pillars of the court,

And, the screen of the gate of the court was the work of an embroiderer, blue and purple and crimson, and fine-twined linen, - and, twenty cubits, in length, and the height, according to the breadth, of five cubits, to match the curtains of the court;

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.

As for all the gold that was used for, he work, in all the construction of the sanctuary, it came to pass that the gold of the wave-offering was nine-and-twenty talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels by the shekel of the sanctuary.

And, the silver of them who were numbered of the assembly, was one hundred talents, - and one thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five shekels by the shekel of the sanctuary;

And the bronze of the wave-offering, was seventy talents, - and two thousand and four hundred shekels.

Shoulder-pieces, made they thereto, for joining, - at its two edges, was it joined.

And as for the curious fastening girdle which was thereon, of the same, it was according to the working thereof, gold blue, and purple, and crimson and fine twined linen, - As Yahweh commanded Moses.

Foursquare, it was doubled, made they the breastpiece, - a span, was the length thereof, and, a span, the breadth thereof, doubled.

Thus was finished all the work of the habitation of the tent of meeting, - thus did the sons of Israel, according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did they.

Thus came it to pass, in the first month, in the second year, on the first of the month, that the habitation was reared.

and Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud had made its habitation thereupon, - and the glory of Yahweh, filled the habitation.

For, the cloud of Yahweh, was upon the habitation by day, and, a fire, came to be by night therein, - in the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeyings.
