All the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy, and Joseph was in Egypt already.

When Joseph was dead, and all his brethren and all that generation;

the children of Israel grew, increased, multiplied and waxed exceeding mighty: so that the land was full of them.

And the king of Egypt said unto the midwives of the Hebrews' women, of which the one's name was Shiphrah and the other Puah,

And the wife conceived and bare a son. And when she saw that it was a proper child, she hid him three months long.

And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to the river to wash herself, and her maidens walked along by the river's side. And when she saw the basket among the flags, she sent one of her maids and caused it to be fetched.

And when the child was grown, she brought it unto Pharaoh's daughter, and it was made her son, and she called it Moses, "Because," said she, "I took him out of the water."

And it happened in these days when Moses was waxed great, that he went out unto his brethren and looked on their burdens, and spied an Egyptian smiting one of his brethren, an Hebrew.

And he looked round about: and when he saw that there was no man by, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

And they answered, "There was an Egyptian that delivered us from the shepherds, and so drew us water and watered the sheep."

And Moses was content to dwell with the man. And he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter which bare a son,

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

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.

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 the taskmasters hasted them forward, saying, "Fulfill your work day by day, even as when straw was given you."

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?"

and I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob an Almighty God: but in my name Jehovah was I not known unto them.

And Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty three when they spake unto Pharaoh.

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

And Moses and Aaron did even as the LORD commanded. And he lift up the staff and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, and all the water that was in the river, turned into blood.

And the fish that was in the river died, and the river stank: so that the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river. And there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.

And the enchanters of Egypt did likewise with their enchantments, so that Pharaoh's heart was hardened and did not regard them, as the LORD had said.

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 the LORD did even so; and there came noisome flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses and into all the land of Egypt: so that the land was marred with flies.

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.

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.

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 the hail smote in the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast. And the hail smote all the herbs of the field and broke all the trees of the field:

only in the land of Goshen where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.

The flax and the barley were smitten, for the barley was shot up and the flax was bolled:

So was the heart of Pharaoh hardened, that he would not let the children of Israel go, as the LORD had said by Moses.

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 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.

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 Moses stretched forth his hand unto heaven, and there was a dark mist upon all the land of Egypt three days long,

so that no man saw another, neither rose up from the place where he was by the space of three days, but all the children of Israel had light where they dwelled.

And the LORD gat the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, Moses was very great in the land of Egypt: both in the sight of Pharaoh, and also in the sight of the people.

And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt: so that there was never none like, nor shall be.

And at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his seat, unto the firstborn of the captive that was in prison, and all firstborn of the cattle.

Then Pharaoh arose the same night and all his servants and all the Egyptians, and there was a great crying throughout Egypt, for there was no house where there was not one dead.

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 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 the time of the dwelling of the children of Israel, which they dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

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.'

And when it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled, then Pharaoh's heart and all his servants turned unto the people and said, "Why have we this done, that we have let Israel go out of our service?"

And the angel of God which went before the host of Israel, removed and went behind them. And the clouden pillar that was before them removed and stood behind them

and went between the host of the Egyptians and the host of Israel. It was a dark cloud, and gave light by night: so that all the night long the one could not come at the other.

And the children of Israel went in through the midst of the sea upon the dry ground. And the water was a wall unto them, both on their right hand and on their left hand.

But the children of Israel went upon dry land in the midst of the sea, and the water was a wall unto them: both on the right hand of them and also on the left.

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 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.

and did mete it with a gomer. And unto him that had gathered much remained nothing over, and unto him that had gathered little was there no lack: but every man had gathered sufficient for his eating.

Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto Moses: but some of them left of it until the morning, and it waxed full of worms and stank, and Moses was angry with them.

And they laid it up till the morning as Moses bade, and it stank not, neither was there any worms therein.

And the house of Israel called it Manna. And it was like unto Coriander seed and white, and the taste of it was like unto wafers made with honey.

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.

When Moses' hands were weary, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat down thereon. And Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side and the other on the other side. And his hands were steady until the sun was down.

And he took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after she was sent back;

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

And the other was called Eliezer - "For the God of my father was mine help and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh."

And the LORD said unto Moses, "Go unto the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes:

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 mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke: because the LORD descended down upon it in fire. And the smoke thereof ascended up, as it had been the smoke of a kiln, and all the mount was exceeding fearful.

And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the thick cloud where God was.

When Moses was come up into the mount, a cloud covered the hill,

And the fashion of the glory of the LORD was like consuming fire on the top of the hill in the sight of the children of Israel.

And Moses went into the mountain. And Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.

And see that thou make them after the fashion that was showed thee in the mount."

And rear up the habitation according to the fashion thereof that was showed thee in the mount.

And make the altar hollow with boards: even as it was showed thee in the mount, so let them make it.

And bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of witness, and wash them with water,

and cut the ram in pieces and wash the inwards of him and his legs, and put them unto the pieces and unto his head,

And they shall eat them, because the atonement was made therewith to fill their hands and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.

"Thou shalt make a laver of brass and his foot also of brass to wash withal, and shalt put it between the tabernacle of witness and the altar and put water therein:

that Aaron and his sons may wash both their hands and their feet thereout,

For it shall be a sign between me, and the children of Israel for ever. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.'"

And when the people saw that it was long or Moses came down out of the mountain, they gathered themselves together and came unto Aaron and said unto him, "Up, and make us a god to go before us: for of this Moses, the fellow that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become."

and were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God graven upon the tables.

And Moses took the tabernacle and pitched it without the host, afar off from the host, and called it the tabernacle of witness. And all that would ask any question of the LORD, went out unto the tabernacle of witness which was without the host.

And when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, all the people rose up and stood every man in his tent door and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.

And as soon as Moses was entered into the tabernacle, the clouden pillar descended and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and he talked with Moses.

And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights, and neither ate bread nor drank water. And he wrote in the tables the words of the covenant: even ten verses.

But when he went before the LORD to speak with him, he took the covering off until he came out. And he came out and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.

and every man with whom was found jacinth, scarlet, purple, bysse or goats' hair or red skins of rams or taxus' skins, brought it.

And all that hove up gold or brass, brought a heave offering unto the LORD. And all men with whom was found sethim-wood meet for any manner work or service, brought it.

for the stuff they had was sufficient for them unto all the work, to make it; and too much.

The length of one curtain was twenty eight cubits, and the breadth four, and were all of one size.

And they made fifty rings of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the rings: and so was it made a dwelling place.

And the hanging of the gate of the court was needlework: of jacinth, scarlet, purple, and twined bysse twenty cubits long and five in the breadth, according to the hangings of the court.

This is the sum of the habitation of witness, which was counted at the commandment of Moses: and was the office of the Levites by the hand of Ithamar son to Aaron the priest.

All the gold that was occupied upon all the work of the holy place - which was the gold of the wave offering - was twenty nine hundred weight and seven hundred and thirty sicles, according to the holy sicle.

And the sum of silver that came of the multitude, was five score hundred weight and a thousand seven hundred and seventy five sicles of the holy sicle.

And the brass of the wave offering was seventy hundred weight and two thousand, and four hundred sicles.

And the broidering of the girdle that was upon it, was of the same stuff and after the same work of gold, jacinth, scarlet, purple and twined bysse, as the LORD commanded Moses.

and the head of the tunicle was in the midst of it as the collar of a partlet, with a band round about the collar, that it should not rend.

Thus was all the work of the habitation of the tabernacle of witness finished. And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses.

"Then bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of witness, and wash them with water.

Thus was the tabernacle reared up, the first month in the second year.
