And on the seventh day God came to the end of all his work; and on the seventh day he took his rest from all the work which he had done.

And God gave his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy: because on that day he took his rest from all the work which he had made and done.

In the day when the Lord God made earth and heaven there were no plants of the field on the earth, and no grass had come up: for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to do work on the land.

And the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to do work in it and take care of it.

With the hard work of your hands you will get your bread till you go back to the earth from which you were taken: for dust you are and to the dust you will go back.

No longer will the earth give you her fruit as the reward of your work; you will be a wanderer in flight over the earth.

And he gave him the name of Noah, saying, Truly, he will give us rest from our trouble and the hard work of our hands, because of the earth which was cursed by God.

Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood with rooms in it, and make it safe from the water inside and out.

You are to put a window in the ark, a cubit from the roof, and a door in the side of it, and you are to make it with a lower and second and third floors.

But with you I will make an agreement; and you will come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.

And you will take with you into the ark two of every sort of living thing, and keep them safe with you; they will be male and female.

And the Lord said to Noah, Take all your family and go into the ark, for you only in this generation have I seen to be upright.

And Noah, with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark because of the flowing of the waters.

In twos, male and female, they went into the ark with Noah, as God had said.

On the same day Noah, with Shem, Ham, and Japheth, his sons, and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark;

They went with Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh in which is the breath of life.

Male and female of all flesh went in, as God had said, and the ark was shut by the Lord.

And for forty days the waters were over all the earth; and the waters were increased so that the ark was lifted up high over the earth.

And the waters overcame everything and were increased greatly on the earth, and the ark was resting on the face of the waters.

Every living thing on the face of all the earth, man and cattle and things moving on the face of the earth, and birds of the air, came to destruction: only Noah and those who were with him in the ark, were kept from death.

And God kept Noah in mind, and all the living things and the cattle which were with him in the ark: and God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters went down.

And on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

Then, after forty days, through the open window of the ark which he had made,

But the dove saw no resting-place for her foot, and came back to the ark, for the waters were still over all the earth; and he put out his hand, and took her into the ark.

And in the six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters were dry on the earth: and Noah took the cover off the ark and saw that the face of the earth was dry.

Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives.

And every beast and bird and every living thing of every sort which goes on the earth, went out of the ark.

And with every living thing with you, all birds and cattle and every beast of the earth which comes out of the ark with you.

And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan.

And at the first, his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

Now in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,

Against Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar: four kings against the five.

And Jacob did seven years' work for Rachel; and because of his love for her it seemed to him only a very little time.

Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have been your servant, and let me go: for you have knowledge of all the work I have done for you.

If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, you would have sent me away with nothing in my hands. But God has seen my troubles and the work of my hands, and this night he kept you back.

Now one day he went into the house to do his work; and not one of the men of the house was inside.

So they put overseers of forced work over them, in order to make their strength less by the weight of their work. And they made store-towns for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses.

And they gave the children of Israel even harder work to do:

And made their lives bitter with hard work, making building-material and bricks, and doing all sorts of work in the fields under the hardest conditions.

Now when Moses had become a man, one day he went out to his people and saw how hard their work was; and he saw an Egyptian giving blows to a Hebrew, one of his people.

Now after a long time the king of Egypt came to his end: and the children of Israel were crying in their grief under the weight of their work, and their cry for help came to the ears of God.

And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people away from their work? get back to your work.

And Pharaoh said, Truly, the people of the land are increasing in number, and you are keeping them back from their work.

The same day Pharaoh gave orders to the overseers and those who were responsible for the work, saying,

But see that they make the same number of bricks as before, and no less: for they have no love for work; and so they are crying out and saying, Let us go and make an offering to our God.

Give the men harder work, and see that they do it; let them not give attention to false words.

Go yourselves and get dry stems wherever you are able; for your work is not to be any less.

And the overseers went on driving them and saying, Do your full day's work as before when there were dry stems for you.

And the responsible men of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's overseers had put over them, were given blows, and they said to them, Why have you not done your regular work, in making bricks as before?

But he said, You have no love for work: that is why you say, Let us go and make an offering to the Lord.

Go now, get back to your work; no dry stems will be given to you, but you are to make the full number of bricks.

And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, but they gave no attention to him, because of the grief of their spirit and the cruel weight of their work.

And on the first day there is to be a holy meeting and on the seventh day a holy meeting; no sort of work may be done on those days but only to make ready what is necessary for everyone's food.

And word came to Pharaoh of the flight of the people: and the feeling of Pharaoh and of his servants about the people was changed, and they said, Why have we let Israel go, so that they will do no more work for us?

And made the wheels of their war-carriages stiff, so that they had hard work driving them: so the Egyptians said, Let us go in flight from before the face of Israel, for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians.

And Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done against the Egyptians, and the fear of the Lord came on the people and they had faith in the Lord and in his servant Moses.

Your strength and that of the people will be completely used up: this work is more than you are able to do by yourself.

Teaching them his rules and his laws, guiding them in the way they have to go, and making clear to them the work they have to do.

On six days do all your work:

But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day you are to do no work, you or your son or your daughter, your man-servant or your woman-servant, your cattle or the man from a strange country who is living among you:

For six days do your work, and on the seventh day keep the Sabbath; so that your ox and your ass may have rest, together with the son of your servant and the man from a strange land living among you.

And they are to make an ark of hard wood; two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half wide and high.

And put the rods through the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it.

Inside the ark you are to put the record which I will give you.

And put the cover over the ark, and in the ark the record which I will give you.

And there, between the two winged ones on the cover of the ark, I will come to you, face to face, and make clear to you all the orders I have to give you for the children of Israel.

The buds and the branches are to be made of the same metal; all together one complete work of hammered gold.

And you are to put up the veil under the hooks, and put inside it the ark of the law: the veil is to be a division between the holy place and the most holy.

You are to put the cover on the ark of the law, inside the most holy place.

All the instruments for the work of the House, and all its nails, and the nails of the open space are to be of brass.

Let Aaron and his sons put this in order, evening and morning, before the Lord, inside the Tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the ark; this is to be an order for ever, from generation to generation, to be kept by the children of Israel.

This is what they are to make: a priest's bag, an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of coloured needlework, a head-dress, and a linen band; they are to make holy robes for Aaron your brother and for his sons, so that they may do the work of priests for me.

And make the ephod of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen, the work of a designer.

And the beautifully worked band, which goes on it, is to be of the same work and the same material, of gold and blue and purple and red and twisted linen-work.

With the work of a jeweller, like the cutting of a stamp, the names of the children of Israel are to be cut on them, and they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.

Aaron is to put it on for his holy work; and the sound of it will be clear, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord, and when he comes out, keeping him safe from death.

These you are to put on Aaron, your brother, and on his sons, putting oil on them, separating them and making them holy, to do the work of priests to me.

Aaron and his sons are to put these on whenever they go into the Tent of meeting or come near the altar, when they are doing the work of the holy place, so that they may be free from any sin causing death: this is to be an order for him and his seed after him for ever.

This is what you are to do to make them holy, to do the work of priests to me: Take one young ox and two male sheep, without any mark on them,

For seven days the son who becomes priest in his place will put them on when he comes into the Tent of meeting to do the work of the holy place.

All these things you are to do to Aaron and his sons as I have given you orders: for seven days the work of making them priests is to go on.

And let it be placed in front of the veil before the ark of the law, before the cover which is over the law, where I will come face to face with you.

And you are to take this money from the children of Israel to be used for the work of the Tent of meeting, to keep the memory of the children of Israel before the Lord and to be the price of your lives.

Whenever they go into the Tent of meeting they are to be washed with water, to keep them from death; and whenever they come near to do the work of the altar, or to make an offering by fire to the Lord,

This oil is to be put on the Tent of meeting, and on the ark of the law,

And put the oil on Aaron and his sons, making them holy to do the work of priests to me.

And put some of it, crushed very small, in front of the ark in the Tent of meeting, where I will come face to face with you; it is to be most holy.

To do all sorts of delicate work in gold and silver and brass;

The Tent of meeting, and the ark of the law, and the cover which is on it, and all the things for the tent,

So you are to keep the Sabbath as a holy day; and anyone not honouring it will certainly be put to death: whoever does any work on that day will be cut off from his people.

Six days may work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death.

The stones were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, cut on the stones.

And the Lord said, See, this is what I will undertake: before the eyes of your people I will do wonders, such as have not been done in all the earth or in any nation: and all your people will see the work of the Lord, for what I am about to do for you is greatly to be feared.

Six days let work be done, but on the seventh day take your rest: at ploughing time and at the grain-cutting you are to have a day for rest.

Six days let work be done, but the seventh day is to be a holy day to you, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord; whoever does any work on that day is to be put to death.

The ark with its cover and its rods and the veil hanging before it;

The robes of needlework for the work of the holy place, the holy robes for Aaron the priest, and the robes for his sons when acting as priests.

And everyone whose heart was moved, everyone who was guided by the impulse of his spirit, came with his offering for the Lord, for whatever was needed for the Tent of meeting and its work and for the holy robes.

Everyone who had silver and brass gave an offering of them to the Lord; and everyone who had hard wood, such as was needed for the work, gave it.

And all the women who were expert with their hands, made cloth, and gave the work of their hands, blue and purple and red and the best linen.
