1 Chronicles
Bible, King James Version
Exodus
Exod.1
[
1] Now these are the names of the children of Israel,
which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with
Jacob.
[
2] Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
[
3] Issachar,
Zebulun, and Benjamin,
[
4] Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and
Asher.
[
5] And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were
seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
[
6] And Joseph died,
and all his brethren, and all that generation.
[
7] And the children of
Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed
exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
[
8] Now there
arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
[
9] And he said
unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and
mightier than we:
[
10] Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest
they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they
join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the
land.
[
11] Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict
them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and
Raamses.
[
12] But the more they afflicted them, the more they
multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of
Israel.
[
13] And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve
with rigour:
[
14] And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage,
in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their
service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
[
15] And the
king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was
Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
[
16] And he said, When ye do
the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it
be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall
live.
[
17] But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of
Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
[
18] And the
king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this
thing, and have saved the men children alive?
[
19] And the midwives
said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for
they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto
them.
[
20] Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people
multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
[
21] And it came to pass, because
the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
[
22] And Pharaoh
charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the
river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
Exod.2
[
1] And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to
wife a daughter of Levi.
[
2] And the woman conceived, and bare a son:
and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three
months.
[
3] And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him
an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child
therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
[
4] And
his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
[
5] And
the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens
walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she
sent her maid to fetch it.
[
6] And when she had opened it, she saw the
child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This
is one of the Hebrews' children.
[
7] Then said his sister to Pharaoh's
daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may
nurse the child for thee?
[
8] And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go.
And the maid went and called the child's mother.
[
9] And Pharaoh's
daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will
give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
[
10]
And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became
her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of
the water.
[
11] And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was
grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he
spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
[
12] And he
looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the
Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
[
13] And when he went out the
second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him
that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
[
14] And he
said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as
thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is
known.
[
15] Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay
Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian:
and he sat down by a well.
[
16] Now the priest of Midian had seven
daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their
father's flock.
[
17] And the shepherds came and drove them away: but
Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
[
18] And when
they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to
day?
[
19] And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of
the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the
flock.
[
20] And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it
that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
[
21] And
Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his
daughter.
[
22] And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom:
for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
[
23] And it
came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children
of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up
unto God by reason of the bondage.
[
24] And God heard their groaning,
and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with
Jacob.
[
25] And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had
respect unto them.
Exod.3
[
1] Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law,
the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and
came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
[
2] And the angel of the
LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he
looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not
consumed.
[
3] And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this
great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
[
4] And when the LORD saw that
he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and
said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
[
5] And he said, Draw not
nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou
standest is holy ground.
[
6] Moreover 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.
[
7] And the LORD
said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and
have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their
sorrows;
[
8] And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the
Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large,
unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and
the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the
Jebusites.
[
9] Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of
Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the
Egyptians oppress them.
[
10] Come now therefore, and I will send thee
unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out
of Egypt.
[
11] And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go
unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of
Egypt?
[
12] And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall
be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the
people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
[
13] And
Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall
say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say
to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
[
14] And God said
unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children
of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
[
15] And God said moreover unto
Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your
fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent
me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all
generations.
[
16] Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and
say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and
of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that
which is done to you in Egypt:
[
17] And I have said, I will bring you
up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the
Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the
Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.
[
18] And they
shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel,
unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews
hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into
the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
[
19] And I
am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty
hand.
[
20] And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my
wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you
go.
[
21] And I will give this people favour in the sight of the
Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go
empty:
[
22] But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her
that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall
spoil the Egyptians.
Exod.4
[
1] And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will
not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not
appeared unto thee.
[
2] And the LORD said unto him, What is that in
thine hand? And he said, A rod.
[
3] And he said, Cast it on the
ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled
from before it.
[
4] 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 in his hand:
[
5] That they may believe that the LORD God
of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,
hath appeared unto thee.
[
6] And the LORD said furthermore unto him,
Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when
he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.
[
7] 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.
[
8] And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee,
neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice
of the latter sign.
[
9] And it shall come to pass, if they will not
believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt
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 become blood upon the dry
land.
[
10] And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent,
neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow
of speech, and of a slow tongue.
[
11] And the LORD said unto him, Who
hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the
blind? have not I the LORD?
[
12] Now therefore go, and I will be with
thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
[
13] And he said, O my
Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.
[
14]
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron
the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he
cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his
heart.
[
15] And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth:
and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye
shall do.
[
16] And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he
shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him
instead of God.
[
17] And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand,
wherewith thou shalt do signs.
[
18] And Moses went and returned to
Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return
unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And
Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
[
19] And the LORD said unto Moses
in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy
life.
[
20] And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an
ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his
hand.
[
21] And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return
into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put
in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people
go.
[
22] And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel
is my son, even my firstborn:
[
23] And I say unto thee, Let my son go,
that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy
son, even thy firstborn.
[
24] And it came to pass by the way in the
inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
[
25] Then Zipporah
took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his
feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.
[
26] So he let
him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the
circumcision.
[
27] And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness
to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed
him.
[
28] And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent
him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
[
29] And Moses and
Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of
Israel:
[
30] And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken
unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
[
31] And the
people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of
Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their
heads and worshipped.
Exod.5
[
1] And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told
Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold
a feast unto me in the wilderness.
[
2] And Pharaoh said, Who is the
LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD,
neither will I let Israel go.
[
3] And they said, The God of the
Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the
desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with
pestilence, or with the sword.
[
4] And the king of Egypt said unto
them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you
unto your burdens.
[
5] And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the
land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
[
6] And
Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their
officers, saying,
[
7] Ye shall no more give the people straw to make
brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
[
8]
And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon
them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry,
saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
[
9] Let there more work be
laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain
words.
[
10] And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their
officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not
give you straw.
[
11] Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet
not ought of your work shall be diminished.
[
12] So the people were
scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of
straw.
[
13] And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your
works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
[
14] And the
officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over
them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in
making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?
[
15] Then the
officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying,
Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
[
16] There is no straw
given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy
servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people.
[
17] But he
said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to
the LORD.
[
18] Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be
given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
[
19] And the
officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it
was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily
task.
[
20] And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they
came forth from Pharaoh:
[
21] And they said unto them, The LORD look
upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes
of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to
slay us.
[
22] And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Lord,
wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent
me?
[
23] For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath
done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
Exod.6
[
1] Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what
I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a
strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
[
2] And God spake
unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:
[
3] And I appeared unto
Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name
JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
[
4] And I have also established my
covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their
pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
[
5] And I have also heard the
groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I
have remembered my covenant.
[
6] Wherefore say unto the children of
Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the
Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a
stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
[
7] And I will take you
to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the
LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the
Egyptians.
[
8] And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the
which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give
it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.
[
9] And Moses spake so unto the
children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and
for cruel bondage.
[
10] And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
[
11] Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the
children of Israel go out of his land.
[
12] And Moses spake before the
LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how
then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?
[
13] And the
LORD spake unto Moses and unto 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.
[
14] These be the heads of their fathers'
houses: The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron,
and Carmi: these be the families of Reuben.
[
15] And the sons of
Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of
a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon.
[
16] And these
are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and
Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi were an hundred thirty and
seven years.
[
17] The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to
their families.
[
18] And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and
Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath were an hundred thirty
and three years.
[
19] And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these
are the families of Levi according to their generations.
[
20] And
Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and
Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were an hundred and thirty and seven
years.
[
21] And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and
Zichri.
[
22] And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and
Zithri.
[
23] And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab,
sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and
Ithamar.
[
24] And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph:
these are the families of the Korhites.
[
25] And Eleazar Aaron's son
took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas:
these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their
families.
[
26] These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said,
Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their
armies.
[
27] These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to
bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and
Aaron.
[
28] And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto
Moses in the land of Egypt,
[
29] That the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto
thee.
[
30] And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of
uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
Exod.7
[
1] And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a
god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
[
2] 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.
[
3] And
I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land
of Egypt.
[
4] But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay
my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of
Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
[
5] And the
Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon
Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
[
6] And
Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
[
7] And
Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when
they spake unto Pharaoh.
[
8] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying,
[
9] When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a
miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it
before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
[
10] And Moses and
Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron
cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a
serpent.
[
11] Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers:
now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their
enchantments.
[
12] For they cast down every man his rod, and they
became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
[
13] And he
hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had
said.
[
14] And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened,
he refuseth to let the people go.
[
15] Get thee unto Pharaoh in the
morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's
brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take
in thine hand.
[
16] And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the
Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me
in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
[
17]
Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will
smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river,
and they shall be turned to blood.
[
18] And the fish that is in the
river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to
drink of the water of the river.
[
19] And the LORD spake unto Moses,
Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of
Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all
their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood
throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of
stone.
[
20] And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he
lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of
Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the
river were turned to blood.
[
21] And the fish that was in the river
died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the
river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
[
22] And
the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was
hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.
[
23]
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this
also.
[
24] And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for
water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the
river.
[
25] And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had
smitten the river.
Exod.8
[
1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and
say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve
me.
[
2] And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all
thy borders with frogs:
[
3] And the river shall bring forth frogs
abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy
bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy
people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
[
4] And
the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy
servants.
[
5] And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch
forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the
ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
[
6] And
Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up,
and covered the land of Egypt.
[
7] And the magicians did so with their
enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
[
8] Then
Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD, that he may take
away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that
they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.
[
9] And Moses said unto Pharaoh,
Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy
people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in
the river only?
[
10] And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it
according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the
LORD our God.
[
11] And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy
houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the
river only.
[
12] And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses
cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against
Pharaoh.
[
13] And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the
frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the
fields.
[
14] And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land
stank.
[
15] But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened
his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
[
16] And
the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the
dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of
Egypt.
[
17] And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his
rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast;
all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of
Egypt.
[
18] And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring
forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon
beast.
[
19] Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger
of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the
LORD had said.
[
20] And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the
morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say
unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve
me.
[
21] Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send
swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into
thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies,
and also the ground whereon they are.
[
22] And I will sever in that
day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall
be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the
earth.
[
23] And I will put a division between my people and thy
people: to morrow shall this sign be.
[
24] And the LORD did so; and
there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his
servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by
reason of the swarm of flies.
[
25] And Pharaoh called for Moses and
for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.
[
26]
And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination
of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of
the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
[
27] We
will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our
God, as he shall command us.
[
28] And Pharaoh said, I will let you go,
that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not
go very far away: intreat for me.
[
29] And Moses said, Behold, I go
out from thee, and I will intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart
from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not
Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to
the LORD.
[
30] And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the
LORD.
[
31] And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he
removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his
people; there remained not one.
[
32] And Pharaoh hardened his heart at
this time also, neither would he let the people go.
Exod.9
[
1] Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and
tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they
may serve me.
[
2] For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold
them still,
[
3] Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which
is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the
oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.
[
4]
And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt:
and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of
Israel.
[
5] And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the
LORD shall do this thing in the land.
[
6] And the LORD did that thing
on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the
children of Israel died not one.
[
7] And Pharaoh sent, and, behold,
there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh
was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
[
8] And the LORD said
unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let
Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
[
9] And
it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil
breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of
Egypt.
[
10] And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before
Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking
forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.
[
11] And the magicians
could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the
magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
[
12] And the LORD hardened the
heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto
Moses.
[
13] And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the
morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of
the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
[
14] For I will
at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and
upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the
earth.
[
15] For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee
and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the
earth.
[
16] And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for
to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the
earth.
[
17] As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou
wilt not let them go?
[
18] Behold, to morrow about this time I will
cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the
foundation thereof even until now.
[
19] Send therefore now, and gather
thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast
which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall
come down upon them, and they shall die.
[
20] He that feared the word
of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee
into the houses:
[
21] And he that regarded not the word of the LORD
left his servants and his cattle in the field.
[
22] And the LORD said
unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in
all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the
field, throughout the land of Egypt.
[
23] And Moses stretched forth
his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran
along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of
Egypt.
[
24] So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very
grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it
became a nation.
[
25] And the hail smote throughout all the land of
Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every
herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
[
26] Only in the
land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no
hail.
[
27] And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said
unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people
are wicked.
[
28] Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no
more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no
longer.
[
29] And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone 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.
[
30] But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye
will not yet fear the LORD God.
[
31] And the flax and the barley was
smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
[
32]
But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown
up.
[
33] And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread
abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain
was not poured upon the earth.
[
34] And when Pharaoh saw that the rain
and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his
heart, he and his servants.
[
35] And the heart of Pharaoh was
hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken
by Moses.
Exod.10
[
1] And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for
I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew
these my signs before him:
[
2] And that thou mayest tell in the ears
of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my
signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the
LORD.
[
3] And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him,
Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble
thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
[
4] Else,
if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts
into thy coast:
[
5] And they shall cover the face of the earth, that
one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that
which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every
tree which groweth for you out of the field:
[
6] And they shall fill
thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the
Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since
the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and
went out from Pharaoh.
[
7] And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How
long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the
LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
[
8] And
Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go,
serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go?
[
9] And Moses
said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our
daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a
feast unto the LORD.
[
10] And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so
with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is
before you.
[
11] Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD;
for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's
presence.
[
12] And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand
over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of
Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath
left.
[
13] And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt,
and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that
night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the
locusts.
[
14] And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and
rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there
were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
[
15]
For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and
they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the
hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the
herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
[
16] Then Pharaoh
called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD
your God, and against you.
[
17] Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my
sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me
this death only.
[
18] And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the
LORD.
[
19] And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took
away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust
in all the coasts of Egypt.
[
20] But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's
heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
[
21] And
the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may
be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be
felt.
[
22] And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there
was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
[
23] They
saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the
children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
[
24] And Pharaoh
called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and
your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
[
25] And
Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may
sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
[
26] Our cattle also shall go with
us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve
the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we
come thither.
[
27] But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would
not let them go.
[
28] And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me,
take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face
thou shalt die.
[
29] And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see
thy face again no more.
Exod.11
[
1] And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one
plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence:
when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence
altogether.
[
2] Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man
borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and
jewels of gold.
[
3] And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight
of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in
the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.
[
4]
And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst
of Egypt:
[
5] And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die,
from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the
firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of
beasts.
[
6] And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of
Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any
more.
[
7] But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog
move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth
put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
[
8] And all these
thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying,
Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out.
And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
[
9] And the LORD said
unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be
multiplied in the land of Egypt.
[
10] And Moses and Aaron did all
these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he
would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Exod.12
[
1] And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land
of Egypt, saying,
[
2] This month shall be unto you the beginning of
months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
[
3] Speak ye
unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they
shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a
lamb for an house:
[
4] And if the household be too little for the
lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the
number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for
the lamb.
[
5] Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first
year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
[
6] And
ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole
assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the
evening.
[
7] And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the
two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat
it.
[
8] And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire,
and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
[
9] Eat
not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with
his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
[
10] And ye shall let
nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the
morning ye shall burn with fire.
[
11] And thus shall ye eat it; with
your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye
shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.
[
12] For I will pass
through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the
land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will
execute judgment: I am the LORD.
[
13] And the blood shall be to you
for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass
over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the
land of Egypt.
[
14] And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and
ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep
it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
[
15] Seven days shall ye eat
unleavened bread; 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 cut off from Israel.
[
16] And in the first day
there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an
holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that
which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
[
17] And ye
shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I
brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this
day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
[
18] In the first
month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened
bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
[
19]
Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth
that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of
Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
[
20] Ye shall
eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened
bread.
[
21] Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said
unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the
passover.
[
22] And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the
blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with
the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his
house until the morning.
[
23] For the LORD will pass through to smite
the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side
posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to
come in unto your houses to smite you.
[
24] And ye shall observe this
thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
[
25] And it
shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you,
according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
[
26]
And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye
by this service?
[
27] That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the
LORD's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt,
when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the
head and worshipped.
[
28] And the children of Israel went away, and
did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
[
29] And
it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land
of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharoah that sat on his throne unto the
firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of
cattle.
[
30] And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his
servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there
was not a house where there was not one dead.
[
31] And he called for
Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my
people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have
said.
[
32] Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and
be gone; and bless me also.
[
33] And the Egyptians were urgent upon
the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said,
We be all dead men.
[
34] And the people took their dough before it was
leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their
shoulders.
[
35] And the children of Israel did according to the word
of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of
gold, and raiment:
[
36] And the LORD gave the people favour in the
sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they
required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
[
37] And the children of
Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot
that were men, beside children.
[
38] And a mixed multitude went up
also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
[
39] And
they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt,
for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not
tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
[
40] Now
the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred
and thirty years.
[
41] And it came to pass at the end of the four
hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the
hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
[
42] It is a night
to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt:
this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in
their generations.
[
43] And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This
is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat
thereof:
[
44] But every man's servant that is bought for money, when
thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
[
45] A foreigner
and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
[
46] In one house shall it
be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house;
neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
[
47] All the congregation of
Israel shall keep it.
[
48] And when a stranger shall sojourn with
thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised,
and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in
the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
[
49] One law
shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among
you.
[
50] Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded
Moses and Aaron, so did they.
[
51] And it came to pass the selfsame
day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by
their armies.
Exod.13
[
1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[
2]
Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the
children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
[
3] And
Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt,
out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out
from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
[
4] This day
came ye out in the month Abib.
[
5] And it shall be when the LORD shall
bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites,
and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give
thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in
this month.
[
6] Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the
seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
[
7] Unleavened bread shall
be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee,
neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
[
8]
And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that
which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
[
9] And it
shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine
eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the
LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
[
10] Thou shalt therefore keep this
ordinance in his season from year to year.
[
11] And it shall be when
the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee
and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
[
12] That thou shalt set
apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh
of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD's.
[
13] And
every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not
redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among
thy children shalt thou redeem.
[
14] And it shall be when thy son
asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him,
By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of
bondage:
[
15] And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us
go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the
firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD
all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I
redeem.
[
16] And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for
frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth
out of Egypt.
[
17] And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the
people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines,
although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when
they see war, and they return to Egypt:
[
18] But God led the people
about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of
Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
[
19] And Moses took
the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel,
saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence
with you.
[
20] And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped
in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
[
21] 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; to go by day and night:
[
22] He
took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night,
from before the people.
Exod.14
[
1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[
2]
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth,
between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal-zephon: before it shall ye encamp
by the sea.
[
3] For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They
are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
[
4] And I
will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be
honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I
am the LORD. And they did so.
[
5] And it was told the king of Egypt
that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned
against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let
Israel go from serving us?
[
6] And he made ready his chariot, and took
his people with him:
[
7] And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and
all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
[
8]
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after
the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high
hand.
[
9] But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and
chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping
by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
[
10] And when
Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the
Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of
Israel cried out unto the LORD.
[
11] And they said unto Moses, Because
there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness?
wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of
Egypt?
[
12] Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt,
saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better
for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the
wilderness.
[
13] And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand
still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for
the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for
ever.
[
14] The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your
peace.
[
15] And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto
me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
[
16] But
lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it:
and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the
sea.
[
17] And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians,
and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all
his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
[
18] And the
Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon
Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
[
19] And the angel
of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and
the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind
them:
[
20] And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp
of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night
to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
[
21]
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go
back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the
waters were divided.
[
22] And the children of Israel went into the
midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on
their right hand, and on their left.
[
23] And the Egyptians pursued,
and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his
chariots, and his horsemen.
[
24] And it came to pass, that in the
morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar
of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
[
25]
And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the
Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for
them against the Egyptians.
[
26] And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch
out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians,
upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
[
27] And Moses stretched
forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the
morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the
Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
[
28] And the waters returned, and
covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came
into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of
them.
[
29] But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the
midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and
on their left.
[
30] Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the
hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea
shore.
[
31] And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the
Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his
servant Moses.
Exod.15
[
1] Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song
unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath
triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the
sea.
[
2] The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my
salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God,
and I will exalt him.
[
3] The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his
name.
[
4] Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea:
his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
[
5] The depths
have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
[
6] Thy right
hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed
in pieces the enemy.
[
7] And in the greatness of thine excellency thou
hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath,
which consumed them as stubble.
[
8] And with the blast of thy nostrils
the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the
depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
[
9] The enemy said, I
will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be
satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy
them.
[
10] Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they
sank as lead in the mighty waters.
[
11] Who is like unto thee, O LORD,
among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises,
doing wonders?
[
12] Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth
swallowed them.
[
13] Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which
thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy
habitation.
[
14] The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall
take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
[
15] Then the dukes of Edom
shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them;
all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
[
16] Fear and dread
shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a
stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou
hast purchased.
[
17] Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the
mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for
thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have
established.
[
18] The LORD shall reign for ever and
ever.
[
19] For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with
his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon
them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the
sea.
[
20] And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a
timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with
dances.
[
21] And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he
hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the
sea.
[
22] So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out
into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and
found no water.
[
23] And when they came to Marah, they could not drink
of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was
called Marah.
[
24] And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What
shall we drink?
[
25] And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed
him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet:
there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved
them,
[
26] And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of
the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give
ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these
diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD
that healeth thee.
[
27] And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells
of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the
waters.
Exod.16
[
1] And they took their journey from Elim, and all the
congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is
between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their
departing out of the land of Egypt.
[
2] And the whole congregation of
the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the
wilderness:
[
3] And the children of Israel 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 when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth
into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
[
4]
Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you;
and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may
prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
[
5] And it shall
come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in;
and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
[
6] And Moses and
Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the
LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
[
7] And in the
morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your
murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against
us?
[
8] And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in
the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the
LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your
murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
[
9] And Moses
spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come
near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
[
10] And it
came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of
Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the
LORD appeared in the cloud.
[
11] And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
[
12] I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel:
speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall
be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your
God.
[
13] And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and
covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the
host.
[
14] And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the
face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost
on the ground.
[
15] And when the children of Israel saw it, they said
one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto
them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
[
16]
This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man
according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your
persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
[
17] And
the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some
less.
[
18] And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered
much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered
every man according to his eating.
[
19] And Moses said, Let no man
leave of it till the morning.
[
20] Notwithstanding they hearkened not
unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms,
and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
[
21] And they gathered it
every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it
melted.
[
22] And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered
twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the
congregation came and told Moses.
[
23] And he said unto them, This is
that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto
the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe;
and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the
morning.
[
24] And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and
it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
[
25] And Moses
said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall
not find it in the field.
[
26] Six days ye shall gather it; but on the
seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
[
27] And
it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for
to gather, and they found none.
[
28] And the LORD said unto Moses, How
long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
[
29] See, for that
the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day
the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his
place on the seventh day.
[
30] So the people rested on the seventh
day.
[
31] And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and
it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with
honey.
[
32] And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD
commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may
see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you
forth from the land of Egypt.
[
33] And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a
pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be
kept for your generations.
[
34] As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron
laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
[
35] And the children of
Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did
eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of
Canaan.
[
36] Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
Exod.17
[
1] And all the congregation of the children of Israel
journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the
commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the
people to drink.
[
2] Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and
said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye
with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
[
3] And the people thirsted
there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is
this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and
our cattle with thirst?
[
4] And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying,
What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone
me.
[
5] And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and
take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the
river, take in thine hand, and go.
[
6] Behold, I will stand before
thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there
shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the
sight of the elders of Israel.
[
7] And he called the name of the place
Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and
because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or
not?
[
8] Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in
Rephidim.
[
9] And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go
out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the
rod of God in mine hand.
[
10] So Joshua did as Moses had said to him,
and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the
hill.
[
11] And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that
Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek
prevailed.
[
12] But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone,
and put it under him, and he sat 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 going down of the sun.
[
13] And Joshua discomfited
Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
[
14] And the LORD
said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the
ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under
heaven.
[
15] And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it
Jehovah-nissi:
[
16] For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the
LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
Exod.18
[
1] When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in
law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and
that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt;
[
2] Then Jethro, Moses'
father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her
back,
[
3] And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom;
for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
[
4] And the name
of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and
delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
[
5] And Jethro, Moses' father
in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he
encamped at the mount of God:
[
6] And he said unto Moses, I thy father
in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with
her.
[
7] And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did
obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they
came into the tent.
[
8] 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 come upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered
them.
[
9] And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had
done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the
Egyptians.
[
10] And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath
delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh,
who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the
Egyptians.
[
11] Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for
in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
[
12] And
Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and
Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father in law
before God.
[
13] And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to
judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the
evening.
[
14] And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the
people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest
thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto
even?
[
15] And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people
come unto me to inquire of God:
[
16] When they have a matter, they
come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the
statutes of God, and his laws.
[
17] And Moses' father in law said unto
him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
[
18] Thou wilt surely wear
away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy
for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.
[
19] Hearken
now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou
for the people to Godward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto
God:
[
20] And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt
shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must
do.
[
21] Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men,
such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them,
to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers
of tens:
[
22] And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it
shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small
matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear
the burden with thee.
[
23] If thou shalt do this thing, and God
command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall
also go to their place in peace.
[
24] So Moses hearkened to the voice
of his father in law, and did all that he had said.
[
25] And Moses
chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of
thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of
tens.
[
26] And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes
they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged
themselves.
[
27] And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went
his way into his own land.
Exod.19
[
1] In the third month, when the children of Israel were
gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness
of Sinai.
[
2] For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to
the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped
before the mount.
[
3] And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called
unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob,
and tell the children of Israel;
[
4] Ye have seen what I did unto the
Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto
myself.
[
5] Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep
my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for
all the earth is mine:
[
6] And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of
priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the
children of Israel.
[
7] And Moses came and called for the elders of
the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded
him.
[
8] And all the people answered together, and said, All that the
LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the
LORD.
[
9] And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a
thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee
for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.
[
10]
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and
to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
[
11] And 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.
[
12] And thou shalt set bounds unto the
people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the
mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely
put to death:
[
13] There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall
surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not
live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the
mount.
[
14] And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and
sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
[
15] And he said
unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your
wives.
[
16] And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that
there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the
voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp
trembled.
[
17] And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to
meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
[
18]
And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in
fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole
mount quaked greatly.
[
19] And when the voice of the trumpet sounded
long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a
voice.
[
20] And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the
mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went
up.
[
21] And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people,
lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them
perish.
[
22] And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD,
sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
[
23] And
Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou
chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify
it.
[
24] And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou
shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people
break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon
them.
[
25] So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto
them.
Exod.20
[
1] And God spake all these words, saying,
[
2]
I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of
the house of bondage.
[
3] Thou shalt have no other gods before
me.
[
4] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any
likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth:
[
5] Thou shalt not bow down
thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth
generation of them that hate me;
[
6] And shewing mercy unto thousands
of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
[
7] Thou shalt not
take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him
guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
[
8] Remember the sabbath day,
to keep it holy.
[
9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy
work:
[
10] But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in
it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy
manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within
thy gates:
[
11] For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the
sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD
blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
[
12] Honour thy father and
thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God
giveth thee.
[
13] Thou shalt not kill.
[
14] Thou shalt not
commit adultery.
[
15] Thou shalt not steal.
[
16] Thou shalt
not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
[
17] Thou shalt not
covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his
manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is
thy neighbour's.
[
18] And all the people saw the thunderings, and the
lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the
people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
[
19] And they said
unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us,
lest we die.
[
20] And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is
come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin
not.
[
21] And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the
thick darkness where God was.
[
22] And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus
thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with
you from heaven.
[
23] Ye shall not make with me gods of silver,
neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
[
24] An altar of earth
thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and
thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my
name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
[
25] And if thou
wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if
thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
[
26] Neither
shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered
thereon.
Exod.21
[
1] Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set
before them.
[
2] If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall
serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
[
3] If he
came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his
wife shall go out with him.
[
4] If his master have given him a wife,
and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her
master's, and he shall go out by himself.
[
5] And if the servant shall
plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out
free:
[
6] Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall
also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his
ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
[
7] And if a
man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the
menservants do.
[
8] If she please not her master, who hath betrothed
her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange
nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with
her.
[
9] And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with
her after the manner of daughters.
[
10] If he take him another wife;
her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not
diminish.
[
11] And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she
go out free without money.
[
12] He that smiteth a man, so that he die,
shall be surely put to death.
[
13] And if a man lie not in wait, but
God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall
flee.
[
14] But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to
slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may
die.
[
15] And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be
surely put to death.
[
16] And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him,
or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
[
17]
And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to
death.
[
18] And if men strive together, and one smite another with a
stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
[
19] If
he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be
quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be
thoroughly healed.
[
20] And if a man smite his servant, or his maid,
with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely
punished.
[
21] Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall
not be punished: for he is his money.
[
22] If men strive, and hurt a
woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow:
he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him;
and he shall pay as the judges determine.
[
23] And if any mischief
follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
[
24] Eye for eye, tooth
for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
[
25] Burning for burning,
wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
[
26] And if a man smite the eye of
his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free
for his eye's sake.
[
27] And if he smite out his manservant's tooth,
or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's
sake.
[
28] If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox
shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the
ox shall be quit.
[
29] But if the ox were wont to push with his horn
in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him
in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his
owner also shall be put to death.
[
30] If there be laid on him a sum
of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon
him.
[
31] Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter,
according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.
[
32] If the ox
shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty
shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
[
33] And if a man shall
open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass
fall therein;
[
34] The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give
money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
[
35]
And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall sell the live
ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall
divide.
[
36] Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time
past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the
dead shall be his own.
Exod.22
[
1] If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it,
or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a
sheep.
[
2] If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he
die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
[
3] If the sun be risen
upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full
restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his
theft.
[
4] If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether
it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
[
5] If a man
shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and
shall feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best
of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
[
6] If fire break out,
and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the
field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make
restitution.
[
7] If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or
stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found,
let him pay double.
[
8] If the thief be not found, then the master of
the house shall be brought unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand
unto his neighbour's goods.
[
9] For all manner of trespass, whether it
be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing,
which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before
the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his
neighbour.
[
10] If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox,
or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no
man seeing it:
[
11] Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them
both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of
it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.
[
12] And if it
be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner
thereof.
[
13] If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for
witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.
[
14] And if a
man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof
being not with it, he shall surely make it good.
[
15] But if the owner
thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came
for his hire.
[
16] And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed,
and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
[
17] If
her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to
the dowry of virgins.
[
18] Thou shalt not suffer a witch to
live.
[
19] Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to
death.
[
20] He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only,
he shall be utterly destroyed.
[
21] Thou shalt neither vex a stranger,
nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
[
22] Ye
shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
[
23] If thou afflict
them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their
cry;
[
24] And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the
sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children
fatherless.
[
25] If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor
by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him
usury.
[
26] If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge,
thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
[
27] For
that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he
sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for
I am gracious.
[
28] Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the
ruler of thy people.
[
29] Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of
thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give
unto me.
[
30] Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy
sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it
me.
[
31] And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any
flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
Exod.23
[
1] Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine
hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
[
2] Thou shalt not
follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline
after many to wrest judgment:
[
3] Neither shalt thou countenance a
poor man in his cause.
[
4] If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass
going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
[
5] If
thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest
forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
[
6] Thou shalt
not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
[
7] Keep thee far
from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will
not justify the wicked.
[
8] And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift
blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
[
9] Also
thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing
ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
[
10] And six years thou shalt
sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
[
11] But the
seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people
may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner
thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.
[
12] Six
days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine
ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be
refreshed.
[
13] And in all things that I have said unto you be
circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be
heard out of thy mouth.
[
14] Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto
me in the year.
[
15] Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread:
(thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time
appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none
shall appear before me empty:)
[
16] And the feast of harvest, the
firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of
ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy
labours out of the field.
[
17] Three times in the year all thy males
shall appear before the Lord GOD.
[
18] Thou shalt not offer the blood
of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice
remain until the morning.
[
19] The first of the firstfruits of thy
land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe
a kid in his mother's milk.
[
20] Behold, I send an Angel before thee,
to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have
prepared.
[
21] Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for
he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
[
22]
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be
an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine
adversaries.
[
23] For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee
in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites,
and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
[
24] Thou
shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but
thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their
images.
[
25] And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless
thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of
thee.
[
26] There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy
land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
[
27] I will send my fear
before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will
make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.
[
28] And I will
send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and
the Hittite, from before thee.
[
29] I will not drive them out from
before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the
field multiply against thee.
[
30] By little and little I will drive
them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the
land.
[
31] And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the
sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver
the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before
thee.
[
32] Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their
gods.
[
33] They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin
against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto
thee.
Exod.24
[
1] And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou,
and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye
afar off.
[
2] And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall
not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
[
3] And Moses
came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and
all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD
hath said will we do.
[
4] And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD,
and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and
twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
[
5] And he
sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and
sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.
[
6] And Moses took
half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on
the altar.
[
7] And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the
audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do,
and be obedient.
[
8] And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the
people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made
with you concerning all these words.
[
9] Then went up Moses, and
Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
[
10] And
they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work
of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his
clearness.
[
11] And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid
not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
[
12] And the
LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will
give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written;
that thou mayest teach them.
[
13] And Moses rose up, and his minister
Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.
[
14] And he said unto
the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold,
Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto
them.
[
15] And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the
mount.
[
16] And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the
cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the
midst of the cloud.
[
17] And the sight of the glory of the LORD was
like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of
Israel.
[
18] And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him
up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
Exod.25
[
1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[
2]
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man
that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
[
3]
And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and
brass,
[
4] And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and
goats' hair,
[
5] And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and
shittim wood,
[
6] Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for
sweet incense,
[
7] Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and
in the breastplate.
[
8] And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may
dwell among them.
[
9] According to all that I shew thee, after the
pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even
so shall ye make it.
[
10] And they shall make an ark of shittim wood:
two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the
breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
[
11] And
thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it,
and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.
[
12] And thou
shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof;
and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of
it.
[
13] And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them
with gold.
[
14] And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the
sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
[
15] The staves
shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from
it.
[
16] And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall
give thee.
[
17] And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two
cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the
breadth thereof.
[
18] And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of
beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy
seat.
[
19] And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on
the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two
ends thereof.
[
20] And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings
on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look
one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims
be.
[
21] And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in
the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
[
22] And
there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy
seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of
all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of
Israel.
[
23] Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits
shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a
half the height thereof.
[
24] And thou shalt overlay it with pure
gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.
[
25] And thou
shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make
a golden crown to the border thereof round about.
[
26] And thou shalt
make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are
on the four feet thereof.
[
27] Over against the border shall the rings
be for places of the staves to bear the table.
[
28] And thou shalt
make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may
be borne with them.
[
29] And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and
spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure
gold shalt thou make them.
[
30] And thou shalt set upon the table
shewbread before me alway.
[
31] And thou shalt make a candlestick of
pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his
branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the
same.
[
32] And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three
branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the
candlestick out of the other side:
[
33] Three bowls made like unto
almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like
almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches
that come out of the candlestick.
[
34] And in the candlestick shall be
four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their
flowers.
[
35] And there shall be a knop under two branches of the
same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches
of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the
candlestick.
[
36] Their knops and their branches shall be of the same:
all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
[
37] And thou shalt make
the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may
give light over against it.
[
38] And the tongs thereof, and the
snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold.
[
39] Of a talent of pure
gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
[
40] And look that thou
make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount.
Exod.26
[
1] Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten
curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims
of cunning work shalt thou make them.
[
2] The length of one curtain
shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits:
and every one of the curtains shall have one measure.
[
3] The five
curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and other five curtains shall
be coupled one to another.
[
4] And thou shalt make loops of blue upon
the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise
shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of another curtain, in the coupling of the
second.
[
5] Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty
loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the coupling of the
second; that the loops may take hold one of another.
[
6] And thou
shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the
taches: and it shall be one tabernacle.
[
7] And thou shalt make
curtains of goats' hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains
shalt thou make.
[
8] The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits,
and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the eleven curtains shall be all
of one measure.
[
9] And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves,
and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the
forefront of the tabernacle.
[
10] And thou shalt make fifty loops on
the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops in
the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.
[
11] And thou shalt
make fifty taches of brass, and put the taches into the loops, and couple the
tent together, that it may be one.
[
12] And the remnant that remaineth
of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over
the backside of the tabernacle.
[
13] And a cubit on the one side, and
a cubit on the other side of that which remaineth in the length of the curtains
of the tent, it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on
that side, to cover it.
[
14] And thou shalt make a covering for the
tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers'
skins.
[
15] And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim
wood standing up.
[
16] Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and

the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side
southward.
[
19] And thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the
twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets
under another board for his two tenons.

And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets
under another board.

thou shalt make six boards.
[
23] And two boards shalt thou make for
the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
[
24] And they shall be
coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of
it unto one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two
corners.
[
25] And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of
silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under
another board.

the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
[
27] And five bars for
the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of
the side of the tabernacle, for the two sides westward.
[
28] And the
middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to
end.
[
29] And thou shalt overlay the boards with gold, and make their
rings of gold for places for the bars: and thou shalt overlay the bars with
gold.
[
30] And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the
fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount.
[
31] And thou
shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of
cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made:
[
32] And thou shalt
hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold: their hooks shall
be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver.
[
33] And thou shalt hang
up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail
the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy
place and the most holy.
[
34] And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon
the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.
[
35] And thou shalt
set the table without the vail, and the candlestick over against the table on
the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and thou shalt put the table on the
north side.
[
36] And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the
tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with
needlework.
[
37] And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars of
shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, and their hooks shall be of gold: and
thou shalt cast five sockets of brass for them.
Exod.27
[
1] And thou shalt make an altar of shittim wood, five
cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare: and the

6] And thou shalt make staves for the altar,
staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with brass.
[
7] And the
staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides
of the altar, to bear it.
[
8] Hollow with boards shalt thou make it:
as it was shewed thee in the mount, so shall they make it.
[
9] And
thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward there
shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen of an hundred cubits long
for one side:
[
10] And the twenty pillars thereof and their twenty
sockets shall be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be

Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the
lamp to burn always.
[
21] In the tabernacle of the congregation
without the vail, which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order
it from evening to morning before the LORD: it shall be a statute for ever unto
their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.
Exod.28
[
1] And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his
sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me
in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar,
Aaron's sons.
[
2] And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy
brother for glory and for beauty.
[
3] And thou shalt speak unto all
that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they
may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the
priest's office.
[
4] And these are the garments which they shall make;
a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a
girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons,
that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
[
5] And they
shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
linen.
[
6] And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of
purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.
[
7] It
shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and
so it shall be joined together.
[
8] And the curious girdle of the
ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to the work thereof;
even of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined
linen.
[
9] And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the
names of the children of Israel:
[
10] Six of their names on one stone,
and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their
birth.
[
11] With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings
of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of
Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.
[
12] And
thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of
memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before
the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
[
13] And thou shalt
make ouches of gold;
[
14] And two chains of pure gold at the ends; of
wreathen work shalt thou make them, and fasten the wreathen chains to the
ouches.
[
15] And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with
cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue,
and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make
it.
[
16] Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be the
length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof.
[
17] And thou
shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row
shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first
row.
[
18] And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a
diamond.
[
19] And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an
amethyst.
[
20] And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper:
they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.
[
21] And the stones
shall be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their
names, like the engravings of a signet; every one with his name shall they be
according to the twelve tribes.
[
22] And thou shalt make upon the
breastplate chains at the ends of wreathen work of pure gold.
[
23] And
thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two
rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
[
24] And thou shalt put the
two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the
breastplate.
[
25] And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains
thou shalt fasten in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the
ephod before it.
[
26] And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou
shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate in the border thereof, which
is in the side of the ephod inward.
[
27] And two other rings of gold
thou shalt make, and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath,
toward the forepart thereof, over against the other coupling thereof, above the
curious girdle of the ephod.
[
28] And they shall bind the breastplate
by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it
may be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not
loosed from the ephod.
[
29] And Aaron shall bear the names of the
children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth
in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD
continually.
[
30] And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment
the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in
before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel
upon his heart before the LORD continually.
[
31] And thou shalt make
the robe of the ephod all of blue.
[
32] And there shall be an hole in
the top of it, in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round
about the hole of it, as it were the hole of an habergeon, that it be not
rent.
[
33] And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates
of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells
of gold between them round about:
[
34] A golden bell and a
pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round
about.
[
35] And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound
shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD, and when he
cometh out, that he die not.
[
36] And thou shalt make a plate of pure
gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE
LORD.
[
37] And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon
the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.
[
38] And it
shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy
things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and
it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the
LORD.
[
39] And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou
shalt make the mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle of
needlework.
[
40] And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats, and thou
shalt make for them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make for them, for glory and
for beauty.
[
41] And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and
his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify
them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
[
42] And
thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins
even unto the thighs they shall reach:
[
43] And they shall be upon
Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the
congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy
place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto
him and his seed after him.
Exod.29
[
1] And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to
hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office: Take one young bullock,
and two rams without blemish,
[
2] And unleavened bread, and cakes
unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of
wheaten flour shalt thou make them.
[
3] And thou shalt put them into
one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock and the two
rams.
[
4] And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water.
[
5]
And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of
the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious
girdle of the ephod:
[
6] And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head,
and put the holy crown upon the mitre.
[
7] Then shalt thou take the
anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.
[
8] And thou
shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them.
[
9] And thou shalt gird
them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and put the bonnets on them: and the
priest's office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute: and thou shalt
consecrate Aaron and his sons.
[
10] And thou shalt cause a bullock to
be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron and his sons
shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock.
[
11] And thou
shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
[
12] And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock,
and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood
beside the bottom of the altar.
[
13] And thou shalt take all the fat
that covereth the inwards, and the caul that is above the liver, and the two
kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the
altar.
[
14] But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung,
shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it is a sin offering.
[
15]
Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon
the head of the ram.
[
16] And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt
take his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar.
[
17] And
thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and
put them unto his pieces, and unto his head.
[
18] And thou shalt burn
the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering unto the LORD: it is a
sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
[
19] And thou
shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the
head of the ram.
[
20] Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his
blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of
the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the
great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round
about.
[
21] And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar,
and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and
upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be
hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with
him.
[
22] Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump, and
the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two
kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder; for it is a ram
of consecration:
[
23] And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled
bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before
the LORD:
[
24] And thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in
the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the
LORD.
[
25] And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them
upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD: it is
an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
[
26] And thou shalt take the
breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave it for a wave offering
before the LORD: and it shall be thy part.
[
27] And thou shalt
sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave
offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the
consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his
sons:
[
28] And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever
from the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an
heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace
offerings, even their heave offering unto the LORD.
[
29] And the holy
garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed therein, and to
be consecrated in them.
[
30] And that son that is priest in his stead
shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the tabernacle of the
congregation to minister in the holy place.
[
31] And thou shalt take
the ram of the consecration, and seethe his flesh in the holy
place.
[
32] And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and
the bread that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
[
33] And they shall eat those things wherewith the
atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not
eat thereof, because they are holy.
[
34] And if ought of the flesh of
the consecrations, or of the bread, remain unto the morning, then thou shalt
burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is
holy.
[
35] And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons,
according to all things which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou
consecrate them.
[
36] And thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a
sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast
made an atonement for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify
it.
[
37] Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and
sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar
shall be holy.
[
38] Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the
altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.
[
39] The
one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at
even:
[
40] And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with
the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine
for a drink offering.
[
41] And the other lamb thou shalt offer at
even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and
according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by
fire unto the LORD.
[
42] This shall be a continual burnt offering
throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.
[
43]
And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be
sanctified by my glory.
[
44] And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to
minister to me in the priest's office.
[
45] And I will dwell among the
children of Israel, and will be their God.
[
46] And they shall know
that I am the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt,
that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD their God.
Exod.30
[
1] And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of
shittim wood shalt thou make it.
[
2] A cubit shall be the length
thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits
shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the
same.
[
3] And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof,
and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make
unto it a crown of gold round about.
[
4] And two golden rings shalt
thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two
sides of it shalt thou make it; and they shall be for places for the staves to
bear it withal.
[
5] And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood,
and overlay them with gold.
[
6] And thou shalt put it before the vail
that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the
testimony, where I will meet with thee.
[
7] And Aaron shall burn
thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn
incense upon it.
[
8] And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he
shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your
generations.
[
9] Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt
sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering
thereon.
[
10] And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it
once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the
year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most
holy unto the LORD.
[
11] And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
[
12] When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after
their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the
LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou
numberest them.
[
13] This they shall give, every one that passeth
among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary:
(a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the
LORD.
[
14] Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from
twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.
[
15]
The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a
shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your
souls.
[
16] And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of
Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the
LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
[
17] And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
[
18] Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and
his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the
tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water
therein.
[
19] For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their
feet thereat:
[
20] When they go into the tabernacle of the
congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come
near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the
LORD:
[
21] So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they
die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed
throughout their generations.
[
22] Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
[
23] Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh
five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and
fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty
shekels,
[
24] And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of
the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
[
25] And thou shalt make it an
oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it
shall be an holy anointing oil.
[
26] And thou shalt anoint the
tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the
testimony,
[
27] And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick
and his vessels, and the altar of incense,
[
28] And the altar of burnt
offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.
[
29] And
thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them
shall be holy.
[
30] And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and
consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's
office.
[
31] And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your
generations.
[
32] Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither
shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it
shall be holy unto you.
[
33] Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or
whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his
people.
[
34] And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet
spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure
frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight:
[
35] And thou
shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered
together, pure and holy:
[
36] And thou shalt beat some of it very
small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation,
where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
[
37] And
as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves
according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the
LORD.
[
38] Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto,
shall even be cut off from his people.
Exod.31
[
1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[
2]
See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe
of Judah:
[
3] And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom,
and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of
workmanship,
[
4] To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in
silver, and in brass,
[
5] And in cutting of stones, to set them, and
in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
[
6] And I,
behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of
Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they
may make all that I have commanded thee;
[
7] The tabernacle of the
congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is
thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
[
8] And the table
and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the
altar of incense,
[
9] And the altar of burnt offering with all his
furniture, and the laver and his foot,
[
10] And the cloths of service,
and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to
minister in the priest's office,
[
11] And the anointing oil, and sweet
incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall
they do.
[
12] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[
13]
Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall
keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye
may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
[
14] Ye shall keep
the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall
surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be
cut off from among his people.
[
15] Six days may work be done; but in
the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work
in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
[
16] Wherefore
the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout
their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
[
17] It is a sign between
me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and
earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
[
18] And
he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount
Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of
God.
Exod.32
[
1] And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come
down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and
said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this
Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is
become of him.
[
2] And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden
earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your
daughters, and bring them unto me.
[
3] And all the people brake off
the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto
Aaron.
[
4] And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a
graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy
gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
[
5]
And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation,
and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
[
6] And they rose up early
on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the
people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
[
7] And the
LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest
out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
[
8] They have
turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them
a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said,
These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of
Egypt.
[
9] And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and,
behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
[
10] Now therefore let me alone,
that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will
make of thee a great nation.
[
11] And Moses besought the LORD his God,
and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast
brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty
hand?
[
12] Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief
did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from
the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil
against thy people.
[
13] Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy
servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will
multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken
of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for
ever.
[
14] And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do
unto his people.
[
15] And Moses turned, and went down from the mount,
and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on
both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they
written.
[
16] And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was
the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
[
17] And when Joshua heard
the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of
war in the camp.
[
18] And he said, It is not the voice of them that
shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome:
but the noise of them that sing do I hear.
[
19] And it came to pass,
as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing:
and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake
them beneath the mount.
[
20] And he took the calf which they had made,
and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the
water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
[
21] And Moses
said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great
a sin upon them?
[
22] And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax
hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
[
23] For
they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this
Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is
become of him.
[
24] And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let
them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there
came out this calf.
[
25] And when Moses saw that the people were
naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their
enemies:)
[
26] Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who
is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered
themselves together unto him.
[
27] And he said unto them, Thus saith
the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out
from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every
man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
[
28] And the children
of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that
day about three thousand men.
[
29] For Moses had said, Consecrate
yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his
brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
[
30] And it
came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a
great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an
atonement for your sin.
[
31] And Moses returned unto the LORD, and
said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of
gold.
[
32] Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot
me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
[
33] And the
LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of
my book.
[
34] Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of
which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee:
nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon
them.
[
35] And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the
calf, which Aaron made.
Exod.33
[
1] And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up
hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt,
unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto
thy seed will I give it:
[
2] And I will send an angel before thee; and
I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite,
the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
[
3] Unto a land flowing with milk and
honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked
people: lest I consume thee in the way.
[
4] And when the people heard
these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his
ornaments.
[
5] For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children
of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in
a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that
I may know what to do unto thee.
[
6] And the children of Israel
stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
[
7] And
Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the
camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass,
that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the
congregation, which was without the camp.
[
8] And it came to pass,
when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood
every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the
tabernacle.
[
9] And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the
tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the
tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses.
[
10] And all the people
saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up
and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
[
11] And the LORD spake
unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again
into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not
out of the tabernacle.
[
12] And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou
sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou
wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also
found grace in my sight.
[
13] Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have
found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may
find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy
people.
[
14] And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will
give thee rest.
[
15] And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with
me, carry us not up hence.
[
16] For wherein shall it be known here
that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou
goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people
that are upon the face of the earth.
[
17] And the LORD said unto
Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found
grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
[
18] And he said, I
beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
[
19] And he said, I will make all my
goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee;
and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I
will shew mercy.
[
20] And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for
there shall no man see me, and live.
[
21] And the LORD said, Behold,
there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
[
22] And it
shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift
of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
[
23]
And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face
shall not be seen.
Exod.34
[
1] And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of
stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that
were in the first tables, which thou brakest.
[
2] And be ready in the
morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there
to me in the top of the mount.
[
3] And no man shall come up with thee,
neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor
herds feed before that mount.
[
4] And he hewed two tables of stone
like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto
mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables
of stone.
[
5] And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him
there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
[
6] And the LORD passed by
before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious,
longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
[
7] Keeping mercy
for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no
means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children,
and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth
generation.
[
8] And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the
earth, and worshipped.
[
9] And he said, If now I have found grace in
thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a
stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine
inheritance.
[
10] And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all
thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor
in 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.
[
11]
Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee
the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the
Hivite, and the Jebusite.
[
12] Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a
covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a
snare in the midst of thee:
[
13] But ye shall destroy their altars,
break their images, and cut down their groves:
[
14] For thou shalt
worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous
God:
[
15] Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land,
and they go a whoring after their gods , and do sacrifice unto their gods, and
one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
[
16] And thou take of
their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their
gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
[
17] Thou shalt
make thee no molten gods.
[
18] The feast of unleavened bread shalt
thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in
the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from
Egypt.
[
19] All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling
among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
[
20] But the
firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not,
then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem.
And none shall appear before me empty.
[
21] Six days thou shalt work,
but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt
rest.
[
22] And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the
firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's
end.
[
23] Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before
the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.
[
24] For I will cast out the nations
before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land,
when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the
year.
[
25] Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven;
neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the
morning.
[
26] The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt
bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his
mother's milk.
[
27] And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these
words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and
with Israel.
[
28] And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty
nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables
the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
[
29] And it came to
pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in
Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin
of his face shone while he talked with him.
[
30] And when Aaron and
all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and
they were afraid to come nigh him.
[
31] And Moses called unto them;
and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses
talked with them.
[
32] And afterward all the children of Israel came
nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in
mount Sinai.
[
33] And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a
vail on his face.
[
34] But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak
with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake
unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
[
35] And the
children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone:
and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with
him.
Exod.35
[
1] And Moses gathered all the congregation of the
children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the
LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.
[
2] Six days shall work
be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of
rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to
death.
[
3] Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon
the sabbath day.
[
4] And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the
children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded,
saying,
[
5] Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD:
whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD;
gold, and silver, and brass,
[
6] And blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine linen, and goats' hair,
[
7] And rams' skins dyed red, and
badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
[
8] And oil for the light, and
spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
[
9] And onyx
stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the
breastplate.
[
10] And every wise hearted among you shall come, and
make all that the LORD hath commanded;
[
11] The tabernacle, his tent,
and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his
sockets,
[
12] The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat,
and the vail of the covering,
[
13] The table, and his staves, and all
his vessels, and the shewbread,
[
14] The candlestick also for the
light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the
light,
[
15] And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing
oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of
the tabernacle,
[
16] The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen
grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
[
17]
The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for
the door of the court,
[
18] The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins
of the court, and their cords,
[
19] The cloths of service, to do
service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the
garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.
[
20] And all
the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of
Moses.
[
21] And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and
every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD's offering to
the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for
the holy garments.
[
22] And they came, both men and women, as many as
were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and
tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of
gold unto the LORD.
[
23] And every man, with whom was found blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and
badgers' skins, brought them.
[
24] Every one that did offer an
offering of silver and brass brought the LORD's offering: and every man, with
whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought
it.
[
25] And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their
hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of
scarlet, and of fine linen.
[
26] And all the women whose heart stirred
them up in wisdom spun goats' hair.
[
27] And the rulers brought onyx
stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the
breastplate;
[
28] And spice, and oil for the light, and for the
anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
[
29] The children of Israel
brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made
them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be
made by the hand of Moses.
[
30] And Moses said unto the children of
Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of
Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
[
31] And he hath filled him with the
spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner
of workmanship;
[
32] And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and
in silver, and in brass,
[
33] And in the cutting of stones, to set
them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
[
34]
And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of
Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
[
35] Them hath he filled with wisdom
of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning
workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine
linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that
devise cunning work.
Exod.36
[
1] Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise
hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work
all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the
LORD had commanded.
[
2] And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and
every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one
whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:
[
3] And
they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had
brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And
they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.
[
4] And all
the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from
his work which they made;
[
5] And they spake unto Moses, saying, The
people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD
commanded to make.
[
6] And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it
to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any
more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from
bringing.
[
7] For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work
to make it, and too much.
[
8] And every wise hearted man among them
that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen,
and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he
them.
[
9] The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and
the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one
size.
[
10] And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the
other five curtains he coupled one unto another.
[
11] And he made
loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling:
likewise he made in the uttermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of
the second.
[
12] Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops
made he in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the
loops held one curtain to another.
[
13] And he made fifty taches of
gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became
one tabernacle.
[
14] And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent
over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
[
15] The length of
one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain:
the eleven curtains were of one size.
[
16] And he coupled five
curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
[
17] And he
made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and
fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the
second.
[
18] And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent
together, that it might be one.
[
19] And he made a covering for the
tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above
that.
[
20] And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood,
standing up.
[
21] The length of a board was ten cubits, and the
breadth of a board one cubit and a half.
[
22] One board had two
tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of
the tabernacle.
[
23] And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty
boards for the south side southward:
[
24] And forty sockets of silver
he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons,
and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.
[
25] And for
the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made
twenty boards,
[
26] And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets
under one board, and two sockets under another board.
[
27] And for the
sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
[
28] And two
boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two
sides.
[
29] And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the
head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the
corners.
[
30] And there were eight boards; and their sockets were
sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
[
31] And he
made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the
tabernacle,
[
32] And five bars for the boards of the other side of the
tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides
westward.
[
33] And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards
from the one end to the other.
[
34] And he overlaid the boards with
gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the
bars with gold.
[
35] And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning
work.
[
36] And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and
overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four
sockets of silver.
[
37] And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door
of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of
needlework;
[
38] And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he
overlaid their chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets
were of brass.
Exod.37
[
1] And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits
and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a
cubit and a half the height of it:
[
2] And he overlaid it with pure
gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round
about.
[
3] And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the
four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon
the other side of it.
[
4] And he made staves of shittim wood, and
overlaid them with gold.
[
5] And he put the staves into the rings by
the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
[
6] And he made the mercy seat
of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a
half the breadth thereof.
[
7] And he made two cherubims of gold,
beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy
seat;
[
8] One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on
the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the
two ends thereof.
[
9] And the cherubims spread out their wings on
high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to
another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the
cherubims.
[
10] And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was
the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the
height thereof:
[
11] And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made
thereunto a crown of gold round about.
[
12] Also he made thereunto a
border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border
thereof round about.
[
13] And he cast for it four rings of gold, and
put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet
thereof.
[
14] Over against the border were the rings, the places for
the staves to bear the table.
[
15] And he made the staves of shittim
wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
[
16] And he made
the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his
bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.
[
17] And he made
the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft,
and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the
same:
[
18] And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three
branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of
the candlestick out of the other side thereof:
[
19] Three bowls made
after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls
made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six
branches going out of the candlestick.
[
20] And in the candlestick
were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:
[
21]
And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the
same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches
going out of it.
[
22] Their knops and their branches were of the same:
all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.
[
23] And he made his seven
lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.
[
24] Of a
talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.
[
25] And
he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the
breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it;
the horns thereof were of the same.
[
26] And he overlaid it with pure
gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of
it: also he made unto it a crown of gold round about.
[
27] And he made
two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon
the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it
withal.
[
28] And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them
with gold.
[
29] And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure
incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.
Exod.38
[
1] And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim
wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof;
it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
[
2] And he
made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the
same: and he overlaid it with brass.
[
3] And he made all the vessels
of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and
the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.
[
4] And he
made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath
unto the midst of it.
[
5] And he cast four rings for the four ends of
the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.
[
6] And he made the
staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.
[
7] And he put
the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made
the altar hollow with boards.
[
8] And he made the laver of brass, and
the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which
assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
[
9] And
he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of
fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:
[
10] Their pillars were twenty,
and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were
of silver.
[
11] And for the north side the hangings were an hundred
cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks
of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
[
12] And for the west side
were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the
hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
[
13] And for the
east side eastward fifty cubits.
[
14] The hangings of the one side of
the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets
three.
[
15] And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and
that hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their
sockets three.
[
16] All the hangings of the court round about were of
fine twined linen.
[
17] And the sockets for the pillars were of brass;
the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of
their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with
silver.
[
18] And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework,
of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was
the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the
hangings of the court.
[
19] And their pillars were four, and their
sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their
chapiters and their fillets of silver.
[
20] And all the pins of the
tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.
[
21] This is
the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was
counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites,
by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.
[
22] And Bezaleel the
son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD
commanded Moses.
[
23] And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of
the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in
blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.
[
24] All the gold
that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold
of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
[
25] And the silver of
them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a
thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of
the sanctuary:
[
26] A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel,
after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from
twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and
five hundred and fifty men.
[
27] And of the hundred talents of silver
were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred
sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
[
28] And of the
thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars,
and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.
[
29] And the brass of
the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred
shekels.
[
30] And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for
it, and all the vessels of the altar,
[
31] And the sockets of the
court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the
tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.
Exod.39
[
1] And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made
cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments
for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[
2] And he made the ephod of
gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
[
3] And
they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in
the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with
cunning work.
[
4] They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it
together: by the two edges was it coupled together.
[
5] And the
curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the
work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as
the LORD commanded Moses.
[
6] And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in
ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of
Israel.
[
7] And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they
should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
[
8] And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work
of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined
linen.
[
9] It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span
was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being
doubled.
[
10] And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row
was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.
[
11]
And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
[
12] And
the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
[
13] And the
fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold
in their inclosings.
[
14] And the stones were according to the names
of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings
of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve
tribes.
[
15] And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of
wreathen work of pure gold.
[
16] And they made two ouches of gold, and
two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the
breastplate.
[
17] And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the
two rings on the ends of the breastplate.
[
18] And the two ends of the
two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the
shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.
[
19] And they made two rings
of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it,
which was on the side of the ephod inward.
[
20] And they made two
other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath,
toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the
curious girdle of the ephod.
[
21] And they did bind the breastplate by
his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be
above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be
loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[
22] And he made
the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
[
23] And there was
an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round
about the hole, that it should not rend.
[
24] And they made upon the
hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined
linen.
[
25] And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells
between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the
pomegranates;
[
26] A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate,
round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
[
27] And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron,
and for his sons,
[
28] And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets
of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,
[
29] And a
girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework;
as the LORD commanded Moses.
[
30] And they made the plate of the holy
crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a
signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
[
31] And they tied unto it a lace of
blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
[
32] Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the
congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the
LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
[
33] And they brought the
tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards,
his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,
[
34] And the covering of
rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the
covering,
[
35] The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and
the mercy seat,
[
36] The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the
shewbread,
[
37] The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even
with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for
light,
[
38] And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet
incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,
[
39] The brasen
altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and
his foot,
[
40] The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his
sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all
the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the
congregation,
[
41] The cloths of service to do service in the holy
place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to
minister in the priest's office.
[
42] According to all that the LORD
commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.
[
43] And
Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they have done it as the LORD had
commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
Exod.40
[
1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[
2]
On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent
of the congregation.
[
3] And thou shalt put therein the ark of the
testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
[
4] And thou shalt bring
in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it;
and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps
thereof.
[
5] And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense
before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the
tabernacle.
[
6] And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering
before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
[
7]
And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar,
and shalt put water therein.
[
8] And thou shalt set up the court round
about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
[
9] And thou shalt
take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and
shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be
holy.
[
10] And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and
all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most
holy.
[
11] And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify
it.
[
12] And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
[
13] And
thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him;
that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
[
14] And thou
shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
[
15] And thou shalt
anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me
in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting
priesthood throughout their generations.
[
16] Thus did Moses:
according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
[
17] And it
came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the
month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
[
18] And Moses reared up the
tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in
the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.
[
19] And he spread abroad
the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as
the LORD commanded Moses.
[
20] And he took and put the testimony into
the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the
ark:
[
21] And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the
vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
[
22] And he put the table in the tent of the
congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the
vail.
[
23] And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as
the LORD had commanded Moses.
[
24] And he put the candlestick in the
tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle
southward.
[
25] And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
[
26] And he put the golden altar in the tent of the
congregation before the vail:
[
27] And he burnt sweet incense thereon;
as the LORD commanded Moses.
[
28] And he set up the hanging at the
door of the tabernacle.
[
29] And he put the altar of burnt offering by
the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it
the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
[
30] And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation
and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.
[
31] And Moses and
Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
[
32]
When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto
the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[
33] And he
reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the
hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
[
34] Then a
cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the
tabernacle.
[
35] And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the
congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled
the tabernacle.
[
36] And when the cloud was taken up from over the
tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their
journeys:
[
37] But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed
not till the day that it was taken up.
[
38] For the cloud of the LORD
was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all
the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
