"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.

And see that ye keep you to unleavened bread. For upon that same day I will bring your armies out of the land of Egypt, therefore ye shall observe this day and all your children after you, that it be a custom forever.

The first month and the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat sweet bread unto the twenty-first day of the month at even again.

And Moses called for the elders of Israel and said unto them, "Choose out, and take to every household a sheep and kill, Passover.

And take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike it upon the upper post and on the two side posts, and see that none of you go out at the door of his house until the morning.

For the LORD will go about and smite Egypt. And when he seeth the blood upon the upper door post and on the two side posts, he will pass over the door and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your house to plague you.

Therefore see that thou observe this thing, that it be an ordinance to thee, and thy sons forever.

And when your children ask you, 'What manner of service is this ye do?'

And the Egyptians were fierce upon the people and made haste to send them out of the land: for they said, "We be all dead men."

And the people took the dough before it was soured which they had in store, and bound it in cloths, and put it upon their shoulders.

And the children of Israel did according to the saying of Moses: and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment.

Thus took the children of Israel their journey from Rameses to Succoth; six hundred thousand men of foot, beside children.

And they baked sweet cakes of the dough which they brought out of Egypt, for it was not soured: because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not tarry, neither had they prepared them any other provision of meat.

And when the four hundred and thirty years were expired, even the self same day departed all the hosts of the LORD out of the land of Egypt.

This is a night to be observed to the LORD, because he brought them out of the land of Egypt. This is a night of the LORD, to be kept of all the children of Israel and of their generations after them.

And even the self same day did the LORD bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt with their armies.

And Moses said unto the people, "Think on this day in which ye came out of Egypt and out of the house of bondage: for with a mighty hand the LORD brought you out from thence. See therefore that ye eat no leavened bread.

This day come ye out of Egypt in the month of Abib.

When the LORD hath brought thee in to the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers that he would give thee: a land wherein milk and honey floweth, then see that thou keep this service in this same month.

Seven days thou shalt eat sweet bread, and the seventh day shall be feastful unto the LORD.

see thou keep therefore this ordinance in his season from year to year.

"Moreover, when the LORD hath brought thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he hath sworn unto thee and to thy fathers, and hath given it thee,

And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, 'What is this?' Thou shalt say unto him, 'With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

And when Pharaoh was loath to let us go, the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: as well the firstborn of men as of beasts. And therefore I sacrifice unto the LORD all the males that open the matrix, but all the firstborn of my children I must redeem.'

When Pharaoh had let the people go, God carried them not through the land of the Philistines, though it were a nigh way. For God said, "The people might haply repent when they see war, and so turn again to Egypt."

And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud to lead them the way: and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light: that they might go both by day and night.

And the pillar of the cloud never departed by day nor the pillar of fire by night out of the people's sight.

Then said they unto Moses, "Were there no graves for us in Egypt, but thou must bring us away for to die in the wilderness? Wherefore hast thou served us thus, for to carry us out of Egypt?

Did not we tell thee this in Egypt saying, 'Let us be in rest and serve the Egyptians?' For it had been better for us to have served the Egyptians, than for to die in the wilderness."

And Moses said unto the people, "Fear ye not, but stand still and behold how the LORD shall save you this day: For as ye see the Egyptians this day, shall ye see them no more forever till the world's end.

And the Egyptians followed and went in after them to the midst of the sea, with all Pharaoh's horses, and his chariots and his horsemen.

and smote off their chariot wheels and cast them down to the ground. Then said the Egyptians, "Let us flee from Israel, for the LORD fighteth for them against us."

Then stretched forth Moses his hand over the sea, and it came again to his course early in the morning, and the Egyptians fled against it. Thus the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea,

Thus the LORD delivered Israel the selfsame day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seaside.

the deep waters have covered them; they sank to the bottom as a stone.

Thine hand, LORD, is glorious in power, thine hand, LORD, hath all to dashed the enemy.

Bring them in and plant them in the mountains of thine inheritance, the place, LORD, which thou hast made for to dwell in, the sanctuary, LORD, which thy hands have prepared.

At the last they came to Marah: but they could not drink of the waters for bitterness, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of the place was called Marah.

and said, "If ye will hearken unto the voice of the LORD your God, and will do that which is right in his sight and will give an ear unto his commandments, and keep all his ordinances: then will I put none of these diseases upon thee which I brought upon the Egyptians, for I am the LORD thy surgeon."

And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water and seventy date trees, and they pitched there by the water.

And they took their journey from Elim, and all the whole company of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which lieth between Elim and Sinai, the fifteenth day of the second month after that they were come out of the land of Egypt.

and said unto them, "Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and ate bread our bellies' full; for ye have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole multitude for hunger."

Then said the LORD unto Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from heaven down to you, and let the people go out, and gather day by day, that I may prove them whether they will walk in my law or no.

The sixth day let them prepare that which they will bring in, and let it be twice as much as they gather in daily."

And moreover spake Moses, "At evening the LORD will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning bread enough, because the LORD hath heard your murmur which ye murmur against him: for what are we? Your murmuring is not against us, but against the LORD."

And at evening the quails came and covered the ground where they lay. And in the morning the dew lay round about the host.

And when the dew was fallen: behold, it lay upon the ground in the wilderness, small and round and thin as the hoarfrost on the ground.

When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, "What is this?" For they wist not what it was. And Moses said, "This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, that ye gather every man enough for him to eat: a gomer full for a man according to the number of you, and gather every man for them which are in his tent."

And the sixth day they gathered twice so much bread, two gomers for one man, and the rulers of the multitude came and told Moses.

And Moses said, "That, eat this day: for today it is the LORD's Sabbath; today ye shall find none in the field.

Notwithstanding, there went out of the people in the seventh day for to gather: but they found none.

See: because the LORD hath given you a Sabbath, therefore he giveth you, the sixth day, bread for two days. Bide therefore every man at home, and let no man go out of his place the seventh day."

And the people rested the seventh day.

And Moses spake unto Aaron, "Take a cruse and put a gomer full of Manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD to be kept for yourhildren after you,

as the LORD commanded Moses." And Aaron laid it up before the testimony there to be kept.

And all the company of the children of Israel went on their journeys from the wilderness of Sin at the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: where was no water for the people to drink.

And the people chode with Moses, and said, "Give us water to drink." And Moses said unto them, "Why chide ye with me, and wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?"

There the people thirsted for water, and murmured against Moses and said, "Wherefore hast thou brought us out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?"

And Moses cried unto the LORD saying, "What shall I do unto this people? They be almost ready to stone me!"

And Joshua did as Moses bade him, and fought with the Amalekites. And Moses, Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done unto Moses and to Israel his people; how that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt.

and her two sons, of which the one was called Gershom - for he said, "I have been an alien in a strange land" -

And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his two sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness: where he had pitched his tent by the mount of God.

And he sent word to Moses, "I, thy father-in-law Jethro, am come to thee; and thy wife also, and her two sons with her."

And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and did obeisance and kissed him, and they saluted each other and came into the tent.

And Moses told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had happened them by the way, and how the LORD had delivered them.

And Jethro rejoiced over all the good which the LORD had done to Israel, and because he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.

And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, offered burnt offerings and sacrifices unto God. And Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God.

And it chanced on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood about Moses from morning unto evening.

And Moses said unto his father-in-law, "Because the people came unto me to seek counsel of God.

Thou doest unwisely and also this people that is with thee: because the thing is too grievous for thee, and thou art not able to do it thyself alone.

But hear my voice, and I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee. Be thou unto the people to Godward, and bring the causes unto God,

and provide them ordinances and laws, and show them the way wherein they must walk and the works that they must do.

If thou shalt do this thing, then thou shalt be able to endure that which God chargeth thee with all, and all this people shall go to their places quietly."

And then Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went in to his own land.

The third month after the children of Israel were gone out of Egypt: the same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.

For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai and had pitched their tents in the wilderness. And there Israel pitched, before the mount.

And Moses went up unto God. And the LORD called to him out of the mountain saying, "Thus say unto the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel,

And the people answered all together and said, "All that the LORD hath said, we will do." And Moses brought the words of the people unto the LORD.

that they may be ready against the third day. For the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

And set marks round about the people and say, 'Beware that ye go not up into the mount, and that ye touch not the borders of it, for whosoever toucheth the mount, shall surely die.

There shall not a hand touch it, but that he shall either be stoned or else shot through: whether it be beast or man, it shall not live.' When the horn bloweth, then let them come up in to the mountain."

And he said unto the people, "Be ready against the third day, and see that ye come not at your wives."

And the third day in the morning there was thunder, and lightning and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the horn waxed exceeding loud, and all the people that was in the host was afraid.

And Moses brought the people out of the tents to meet with God, and they stood under the hill.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Go down and charge the people that they prease not up unto the LORD for to see him, and so many of them perish.

And let the priests also, which come to the LORD's presence, sanctify themselves: lest the LORD smite them."

Then Moses said unto the LORD, "The people cannot come up in to mount Sinai, for thou chargedest us saying, 'Set marks about the hill and sanctify it.'"

And the LORD said unto him, "Away, and get thee down: and come up both thou and Aaron with thee. But let not the priests and the people presume for to come up unto the LORD: lest he smite them."

"Remember the Sabbath day that thou sanctify it.

Six days mayest thou labour and do all that thou hast to do:

but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God, in it thou shalt do no manner work: neither thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, neither thy manservant nor thy maidservant, neither thy cattle neither yet the stranger that is within thy gates.

For in six days the LORD made both heaven and earth and the sea and all that in them is and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

And when the people saw it, they removed and stood afar off and said unto Moses, "Talk thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God talk with us, lest we die."

And Moses said unto the people, "Fear not, for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be among you that ye sin not."

Ye shall not make therefore with me gods of silver nor gods of gold: in no wise shall ye do it.

Then let his master bring him unto the judges and set him to the door or the doorpost, and bore his ear through with an awl, and let him be his servant forever.

"If a man sell his daughter to be a servant: she shall not go out as the menservants do.

If she please not her master, so that he hath given her to no man to wife, then shall he let her go free: to sell her unto a strange nation shall he have no power, because he despised her.
