Then Moses besought the LORD his God and said, "O LORD, why should thy wrath wax hot upon thy people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?

Remember Abraham, Isaac and Israel thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thine own self and saidest unto them, 'I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land which I have said, I will give unto your seed: and they shall inherit it forever.'"

And then Moses said unto Aaron, "What did this people unto thee that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?"

And Aaron said, "Let not the wrath of my lord wax fierce, thou knowest the people that they are even set on mischief.

Yet forgive them their sin, I pray thee: If not, wipe me out of thy book which thou hast written."

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Depart and go hence: both thou and the people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I swore unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, 'Unto thy seed I will give it.'

that thou mayest go in to a land that floweth with milk and honey. But I will not go among you myself, for ye are a stiffnecked people: lest I consume you by the way."

And Moses said unto the LORD, "See, thou saidest unto me, 'Lead this people forth,' but thou showest me not whom thou wilt send with me. And hast said moreover, 'I know thee by name and thou hast also found grace in my sight.'

for how shall it be known now that both I and thy people have found favour in thy sight, but in that thou goest with us: that both I and thy people have a preeminence before all the people that are upon the face of the earth."

And the LORD said unto Moses, "I will do this also that thou hast said, for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name."

And he said furthermore, "Thou mayest not see my face, for there shall no man see me and live."

And the LORD said, "Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock,

And then I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen."

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Hew the two tables of stone like unto the first that I may write in them the words which were in the first two tables, which thou brakest.

And be ready against the morning that thou mayest come up early unto the mount of Sinai and stand me there upon the top of the mount.

And he said, "Behold, I make an covenant before all this people; that I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the world, neither among any nation. And all the people, among which thou art, shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

Take heed to thyself, that thou make no covenant with the inhabiters of the land whither thou goest lest it be cause of ruin among you.

for thou shalt worship no strange god. For the LORD is called jealous, because he is a jealous God:

lest, if thou make any covenant with the inhabiters of the land, when they go a whoring after their gods and do sacrifice unto their gods, they call thee and thou eat of their sacrifice;

And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and when their daughters go a whoring after their gods,

they make thy sons go a whoring after their gods also. Thou shalt make thee no gods of metal.

The feast of sweet bread shalt thou keep, and seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed in the month of Abib: for in the month of Abib thou camest out of Egypt.

But the first of the ass thou shalt buy out with a sheep, or if thou redeem him not: see thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou must needs redeem. And see that no man appear before me empty.

"Six days thou shalt work, and the seventh thou shalt rest: both from earing and reaping.

Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks with the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the years' end.

for I will cast out the nations before thee and will enlarge thy coasts, so that no man shall desire thy land, while thou goest up to appear before the face of the LORD thy God, thrice in the year.

"Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread: neither shall ought of the sacrifice of the feast of Passover, be left unto the morning.

The first of the first fruits of thy land, thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. And see that thou seethe not a kid in his mother's milk."

"In the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the habitation of the tabernacle of witness,

And thou shalt mince it small, and pour oil thereon: and so is it a meat offering.

And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the LORD, and shalt deliver it unto the priest, and he shall bring it unto the altar,

All thy meat offerings thou shalt salt with salt: neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: but upon all thine offerings thou shalt bring salt.

"'If thou offer a meat offering of the first ripe fruits unto the LORD, then take of that which is yet green, and dry it by the fire and beat it small, and so offer the meat offering of thy first ripe fruits.

and in the frying pan it shall be made with oil. And when it is fried, thou shalt bring it in as a baken meat offering minced small, and shalt offer it for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

"Drink no wine nor strong drink - neither thou nor thy sons with thee - when ye go into the tabernacle of witness, lest ye die. And let it be a law forever unto your children after you:

And the wavebreast and heaveshoulder eat in a clean place: both thou and thy sons and thy daughters with thee. For it is thy duty, and thy sons' duty with thee, of the peace offerings of the children of Israel.

Moreover, the cloth, either warp or woof or whatsoever thing of skin it be which thou hast washed and the plague be departed from it, shall be washed once again: and then it is clean.

"And thou shalt say unto them, 'Whatsoever man it be of the house of Israel or of the strangers that sojourn among you that offereth a burnt offering or any other offering,

The privities of thy father and thy mother, see thou unhele not: she is thy mother, therefore shalt thou not uncover her privities.

Thou shalt not uncover the privities of thy sister, the daughter of thy father or of thy mother: whether she be born at home or without.

Thou shalt not uncover the privities of thy son's daughter or thy daughter's daughter, for that is thine own privity.

Thou shalt not uncover the privities of thy father's wife's daughter, which she bare to thy father, for she is thy sister: thou shalt therefore not uncover her privities.

Thou shalt not uncover the privities of thy father's sister, for she is thy father's next kin.

Thou shalt not uncover the privities of thy mother's sister, for she is thy mother's next kinswoman.

Thou shalt not open the privities of thy father's brother; that is, thou shalt not go in to his wife, for she is thine aunt.

Thou shalt not uncover the privities of thy daughter-in-law, she is thy son's wife; therefore uncover not her privities.

Thou shalt not unhele the privity of thy brother's wife, for that is thy brother's privity.

Thou shalt not uncover the privities of the wife and her daughter also; neither shalt thou take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter to uncover their privities: they are her next kin, it were therefore wickedness.

Thou shalt not take a wife and her sister thereto, to vex her that thou wouldest open her privities as long as she liveth.

Thou shalt not go unto a woman to uncover her privity as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.

Thou shalt not give of thy seed to offer it unto Moloch, that thou defile not the name of thy God, for I am the LORD.

"'Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind, for that is abomination.

Thou shalt lie with no manner of beast to defile thyself therewith, neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto, for that is abomination.

When ye reap down the ripe corn of your land, ye shall not reap down the utmost borders of your fields, neither shalt thou gather that which is left behind in thy harvest.

Thou shalt not pluck in all thy vineyard clean, neither gather in the grapes that are overscaped. But thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger. I am the LORD your God.

Ye shall not swear by my name falsely, that thou defilest not the name of thy God; I am the LORD.

Thou shalt not beguile thy neighbour with cavillations, neither rob him violently, neither shall the workman's labour abide with thee until the morning.

Thou shalt not curse the deaf, neither put a stumbling block before the blind: but shalt fear thy God. I am the LORD.

Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment. Thou shalt not favour the poor nor honour the mighty, but shalt judge thy neighbour righteously.

"'Thou shalt not go up and down a privy accuser among thy people, neither shalt thou help to shed the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart but shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour: that thou bear not sin for his sake.

Thou shalt not avenge thyself nor bear hate in thy mind against the children of thy people, but shalt love thy neighbour even as thyself. I am the LORD.

"'Keep mine ordinances. Let none of thy cattle gender with a contrary kind, neither sow thy field with mingled seed, neither shalt thou put on any garment of linen and woollen.

Ye shall not round the locks of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the tufts of thy beard.

"'Thou shalt not pollute thy daughter, that thou wouldest maintain her to be an whore: lest the land fall to whoredom, and wax full of wickedness.

Thou shalt rise up before the hoar head and reverence the face of the old man; and dread thy God, for I am the LORD.

If a woman go unto a beast and lie down thereto: thou shalt kill the woman and the beast also they shall die, and their blood be upon their heads.

Thou shalt not uncover the privities of thy mother's sister nor of thy father's sisters, for he that doth so, uncovereth his next kin: and they shall bear their misdoing.

An ox or a sheep that hath any member out of proportion, mayst thou offer for a freewill offering: but in a vow it shall not be accepted.

Thou shalt not offer unto the LORD that which hath his stones bruised, broken, plucked out or cut away, neither shalt make any such in your land,

"'When ye reap down your harvest, thou shalt not make clean riddance of thy field, neither shalt thou make any after gathering of thy harvest: but shalt leave them unto the poor and the stranger. I am the LORD your God.'"

And thou shalt take fine flour and bake twelve wastels thereof, two tenth deals shall every wastel be.

Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt cut thy vines and gather in thy fruits.

But the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of rest unto the land. The LORD's Sabbath it shall be, and thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor cut thy vines.

The corn that groweth by itself thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes that grow without thy dressing: but it shall be a Sabbath of rest unto the land.

And then thou shalt make a horn blow: even in the tenth day of the seventh month, which is the day of atonement. And then shall ye make the horn blow, even throughout all your land.

"'When thou sellest ought unto thy neighbour or buyest of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:

but according to the number of years after the trumpet year, thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of fruit year, he shall sell unto thee.

According unto the multitude of years, thou shalt increase the price thereof and according to the fewness of years, thou shalt minish the price: for the number of fruit he shall sell unto thee.

Thou shalt not lend him thy money upon usury, nor lend him of thy food to have advantage by it;

"'If thy brother that dwelleth by thee wax poor and sell himself unto thee, thou shalt not let him labour as a bondservant doeth:

See therefore that thou reign not over him cruelly, but fear thy God.

"'If thou wilt have bondservants and maidens, thou shalt buy them of the heathen that are round about you,

from twenty years and above: even all that are able to go forth into war in Israel, thou and Aaron shall number them in their armies.

"Only see that thou number not the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel.

But thou shalt appoint the Levites unto the habitation of witness, and to all the apparel thereof and unto all that longeth thereto. For they shall bear the tabernacle and all the ordinance thereof, and they shall minister it and shall pitch their tents round about it.

And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and his sons, for they are given unto him of the children of Israel.

And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons to wait on their priests' office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall die for it."

And thou shalt appoint the Levites to me, the LORD, for all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites for the firstborn of the children of Israel."

"And thou shalt number the sons of Merari in their kindreds and in the houses of their fathers -

If no man have lain with thee, neither hast gone aside and defiled thyself behind thy husband, then have thou no harm of this bitter, cursing water.

"Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, 'When thou puttest on the lamps see that they light all seven upon the forefront of the candlestick.'"

And thou shalt separate the Levites, from among the children of Israel, that they be mine:

but shall minister unto their brethren in the tabernacle of witness, and there wait, but shall do no more service. And see that thou do after this manner unto the Levites in their waiting times."
