and am come down to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land unto a good land and a large, and unto a land that floweth with milk and honey: even unto the place of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and of the Jebusites.

But come, I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring my people the children of Israel out of Egypt."

And Moses said unto God, "What am I, to go to Pharaoh and to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?"

And he said, "I will be with thee. And this shall be a token unto thee that I have sent thee: after that thou hast brought the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain."

Then said Moses unto God, "When I come unto the children of Israel and say unto them, 'The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you,' and they say unto me, 'What is his name?' - What answer shall I give them?"

Then said God unto Moses, "I Will Be What I Will Be." And he said, "This shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, 'I Will Be did send me to you.'"

And I have said it, that I will bring you out of the tribulation of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites: even a land that floweth with milk and honey.'

If it come to pass that they hear thy voice, then go, both thou and the elders of Israel unto the king of Egypt, and say unto him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: Let us go therefore three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.'

Notwithstanding, I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, except it be with a mighty hand:

yea and I will therefore stretch out mine hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do therein. And after that he will let you go.

Then the LORD said unto him, "What is that in thine hand?" And he said, "A rod."

And he said, "Cast it on the ground." And it turned unto a serpent. And Moses ran away from it.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Put forth thine hand and take it by the tail." And he put forth his hand and caught it, and it became a rod again in his hand.

And the LORD said furthermore unto him, "Thrust thine hand into thy bosom." And he thrust his hand into his bosom and took it out. And behold, his hand was leprous, even as snow.

And he said, "Put thine hand into thy bosom again." And he put his hand into his bosom again, and plucked it out of his bosom, and behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.

"If they will not believe thee, neither hear the voice of the first token: yet will they believe the voice of the second token.

But and if they will not believe the two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, then take of the water of the river and pour it upon the dry land. And the water which thou takest out of the river shall turn to blood upon the dry land."

Go therefore and I will be with thy mouth and teach thee what thou shalt say."

And the LORD was angry with Moses, and said, "I know Aaron thy brother, the Levite, that he can speak. And moreover behold, he cometh out to meet thee, and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.

And thou shalt speak unto him and put the words in his mouth, and I will be with thy mouth and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.

And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law again, and said unto him, "Let me go, I pray thee, and turn again unto my brethren which are in Egypt, that I may see whether they be yet alive." And Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace."

And it chanced by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him and would have killed him.

Then Zipporah took a stone and circumcised her son, and fell at his feet, and said, "A bloody husband art thou unto me."

And Pharaoh answered, "What fellow is the LORD, that I should hear his voice for to let Israel go?

Then went the taskmasters of the people and the officers out and told the people, saying, "Thus sayeth Pharaoh, "I will give you no more straw,

but go yourselves and gather you straw where ye can find it, yet shall none of your labour be minished.'"

And the officers of the children of Israel which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten. And it was said unto them, "Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both yesterday and today, as well as in times past?"

There is no straw given unto thy servants, and yet they say unto us, 'make brick.' And lo, thy servants are beaten, and thy people is foul intreated."

Go therefore and work, for there shall no straw be given you, and yet see that ye deliver the whole tale of brick."

then they met Moses and Aaron standing in their way as they came out from Pharaoh,

For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath fared foul with this folk, and yet thou hast not delivered thy people at all."

Then the LORD said unto Moses, "Now shalt thou see what I will do unto Pharaoh, for with a mighty hand shall he let them go, and with a mighty hand shall he drive them out of his land."

Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, 'I am the LORD, and will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and will rid you out of their bondage, and will deliver you with a stretched-out arm and with great judgments.

And I will take you for my people and will be to you a God. And ye shall know that I am the LORD your God which brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

And I will bring you unto the land over the which I did lift up my hand to give it unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and will give it unto you for a possession: even I the LORD.'"

"Go and bid Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land."

And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel and unto Pharaoh, king of Egypt: to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

These are that Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, "Carry the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, with their armies."

These are that Moses and Aaron which spake to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that they might bring the children of Israel out of Egypt.

Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.

And yet Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may set mine hand upon Egypt and bring out mine armies, even my people the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, with great judgments.

And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I have stretched forth my hand upon Egypt, and have brought out the children of Israel from among them."

"When Pharaoh speaketh unto you and sayeth, 'Show a wonder,' then shalt thou say unto Aaron, 'Take the rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall turn to a serpent.'"

Then went Moses and Aaron in unto Pharaoh, and did even as the LORD had commanded. And Aaron cast forth his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it turned to a serpent.

And they cast down every man his rod, and they turned to serpents; but Aaron's rod ate up their rods.

And yet, for all that, Pharaoh's heart was hardened, so that he hearkened not unto them, even as the LORD had said.

And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink: so that it shall grieve the Egyptians to drink of the water of the river.'"

And the LORD spake unto Moses, "Say unto Aaron, 'Take thy staff and stretch out thine hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, rivers, ponds and all pools of water, that they may be blood, and that there may be blood in all the land of Egypt: both in vessels of wood and also of stone.'"

And it continued a week after that the LORD had smote the river.

And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried unto the LORD upon the appointment of frogs which he had made unto Pharaoh.

And the LORD did according to the saying of Moses. And the frogs died out of the houses, courts and fields.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Say unto Aaron, 'Stretch out thy rod and smite the dust of the land that it may turn to lice in all the land of Egypt.'"

And they did so. And Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and smote the dust of the earth, and it turned to lice both in man and beast, so that all the dust of the land turned to lice, throughout all the land of Egypt.

Then said the enchanters unto Pharaoh, "It is the finger of God." Neverthelater, Pharaoh's heart was hardened and he regarded them not, as the LORD had said.

And Moses answered, "It is not mete so to do. For we must offer unto the LORD our God, that which is an abomination unto the Egyptians: behold shall we sacrifice that which is an abomination unto the Egyptians before their eyes, and shall they not stone us?

And Moses said, "Behold, I will go out from thee and pray unto the LORD, and the flies shall depart from Pharaoh and from his servants and from his people tomorrow. But let Pharaoh from henceforth deceive no more, that he would not let the people go to sacrifice unto the LORD."

And Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed unto the LORD.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Go unto Pharaoh and tell him, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God of the Hebrews: send out my people that they may serve me.

And Pharaoh sent to wete: but there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. Notwithstanding, the heart of Pharaoh hardened, and he would not let the people go.

And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, "Take your hands full of ashes out of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it up into the air in the sight of Pharaoh,

and it shall turn to dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall make swelling sores with blains both on man and beast in all the land of Egypt."

And they took ashes out of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkled it up into the air: And there brake out sores with blains both in man and beast:

or else I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart and upon thy servants and on thy people, that you mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.

For now I will stretch out my hand and will smite thee and thy people with pestilence: so that thou shalt perish from the earth.

Yet in very deed for this cause have I stirred thee up, for to show my power in thee, and to declare my name throughout all the world.

If it be so that thou stoppest my people, that thou wilt not let them go:

behold, tomorrow this time, I will send down a mighty great hail; even such one as was not in Egypt since it was grounded unto this time.

And Moses stretched out his rod unto heaven, and the LORD thundered and hailed, so that the fire ran along upon the ground. And the LORD so hailed in the land of Egypt

that there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, so grievous that there was none such in all the land of Egypt, since people inhabited it.

And Moses said unto him, "As soon as I am out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD, and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail: that thou mayest know, how that the earth is the LORD's.

But I know that thou and thy servants yet fear not the LORD God."

but the wheat and the rye were not smitten, for they were late sown.

And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD, and the thunder and hail ceased, neither rained it any more upon the earth.

Then Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, "Thus sayeth the LORD God of the Hebrews, 'How long shall it be, or thou wilt submit thyself unto me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.

and they shall cover the face of the earth that it cannot be seen. And they shall eat the residue, which remaineth unto you and escaped the hail. And they shall eat all your green trees upon the field.

And they shall fill thy houses and all thy servants' houses, and the houses of all the Egyptians; after such a manner as neither thy fathers nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the time they were upon the earth unto this day.'" And he turned himself about, and went out from Pharaoh.

And he said unto them, "Shall it be so? The LORD be with you! Should I let you go, and your children also? Take heed, for ye have some mischief in hand.

Nay, not so: but go ye that are men and serve the LORD, for that was your desire." And they thrust them out of Pharaoh's presence.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for grasshoppers; that they come upon the land of Egypt and eat all the herbs of the land, and all that the hail left untouched."

And they covered all the face of the earth, so that the land was dark therewith. And they ate all the herbs of the land and all the fruits of the trees which the hail had left: so that there was no green thing left in the trees and herbs of the field through all the land of Egypt.

Forgive me yet my sin only this once, and pray unto the LORD your God that he may take away from me this death only."

And he went out from Pharaoh and prayed unto the LORD,

and the LORD turned the wind into a mighty strong west wind, and it took away the grasshoppers and cast them into the reed sea: so that there was not one grasshopper left in all the coasts of Egypt.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Stretch out thy hand unto heaven, and let there be darkness upon the land of Egypt: even that they may feel the darkness."

And Moses said, "Let it be as thou hast said: I will see thy face no more."

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt, and after that he will let you go hence. And when he letteth you go, he shall utterly drive you hence.

And Moses said, "Thus sayeth the LORD, 'About midnight will I go out among the Egyptians,

And among all the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, nor yet man or beast: that ye may know, how the LORD putteth a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.'

And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and fall before me and say, 'Get thee out and all the people that are under thee!' And then will I depart." And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.

And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh. But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

"This month shall be your chief month: even the first month of the year shall it be unto you.

A sheep without spot and a male of one year old shall it be, and from among the lambs and the goats shall ye take it.

And they shall take of the blood and strike on the two side posts and on the upper doorpost of the houses, wherein they eat him.

And they shall eat the flesh the same night, roast with fire, and with unleavened bread, and with sour herbs they shall eat it.

See that ye eat not thereof sodden in water, but roast with fire: both head, feet, and purtenance together.

And see that ye let nothing of it remain unto the morning: if ought remain, burn it with fire.

Of this manner shall ye eat it: with your loins girded, and shoes on your feet, and your staves in your hands. And ye shall eat it in haste; for it is the LORD's Passover.

And this day shall be unto you a remembrance, and ye shall keep it holy unto the LORD: even throughout your generations after you shall ye keep it holy day, that it be a custom forever.

Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread, so that even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses. For whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be plucked out from Israel.

"The first day shall be a holy feast unto you, and the seventh also. There shall be no manner of work done in them, save about that only which every man must eat: that only may ye do.
