Exodus
Chapter 1
1:1Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt (every man and his household came there with Jacob)
1:2Reuben, Simeon, Levi,and Judah,
1:3Issachar, Zebulun,and Benjamin,
1:4Dan,and Naphtali, Gad,and Asher.
1:5So all the nepheshes,that came out of the loins of Jacob, were seventy nepheshes:Joseph was in Egypt already.
1:6Now Joseph died and all his brethren,and that whole generation.
1:7And the children of Israel were fruitful and increased in abundance, and were multiplied, and were exceeding mighty, so that the land was full of them.
1:8Then there rose up a new King in Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
1:9And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are greater and mightier than we.
1:10Come, let us work wisely with them,lest they multiply,and it come to pass,that if there be war, they join themselves also to our enemies,and fight against us,and get them out of the land.
1:11Therefore did they set taskmasters over them, to keep them under with burdens:and they built the cities Pithom and Raamses for the treasures of Pharaoh.
1:12But the more they vexed them, the more they multiplied and grew:therefore they were more grieved against the children of Israel.
1:13Therefore the Egyptians by cruelty caused the children of Israel to serve.
1:14Thus they made them weary of their lives by sore labor in clay and in brick,and in all work in the field, with all manner of bondage, which they laid upon them most cruelly.
1:15Moreover the King of Egypt commanded the midwives of the Hebrew women, (of which the ones name was Shiphrah,and the name of the other Puah)
1:16And said, When you do the office of a midwife to the women of the Hebrews,and see them on their stools, if it be a son, then you shall kill him:but if it be a daughter, then let her live.
1:17Notwithstanding the midwives feared Elohim,and did not as the King of Egypt commanded them,but preserved alive the men children.
1:18Then the King of Egypt called for the midwives,and said to them, Why have you done thus,and have preserved alive the men children?
1:19And the midwives answered Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the women of Egypt:for they are lively,and are delivered before the midwife comes to them.
1:20Elohim therefore prospered the midwives,and the people multiplied and were very mighty.
1:21And because the midwives feared Elohim,therefore he made them houses.
1:22Then Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every man child that is born, cast you into the river,but reserve every maid child alive.
Chapter 2
2:1Then there went a man of the house of Levi,and took to wife a daughter of Levi,
2:2And the woman conceived and bore a son:and when she saw that he was fair, she hid him three months.
2:3But when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark made of reed, and coated it with slime and with pitch, and laid the child in it, and put it among the bulrushes by the river's brink.
2:4Now his sister stood afar off, to know what would come of him.
2:5Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe in the river,and her maidens walked by the rivers side:and when she saw the ark among the bulrushes, she sent her maid to get it.
2:6Then she opened it,and saw it was a child:and behold, the babe wept:so she had compassion on it,and said, This is one of the Hebrews children.
2:7Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to you a nurse of the Hebrew women to nurse you the child?
2:8And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. So the maid went and called the child's mother,
2:9To whom Pharaoh's daughter said, Take this child away,and nurse it for me,and I will reward you. Then the woman took the child and nursed him.
2:10Now the child grew,and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter,and he was as her son,and she called his name Moses, because, said she, I drew him out of the water.
2:11And in those days, when Moses was grown, he went forth to his brethren,and looked on their burdens:also he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew one of his brethren.
2:12And he looked round about,and when he saw no man, he slew the Egyptian,and hid him in the sand.
2:13Again he came forth the second day,and behold, two Hebrews strove:and he said to him that did the wrong, Why smite you your fellow?
2:14And he answered, Who made you a man of authority,and a judge over us? Think you to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian? Then Moses feared and said, Certainly this thing is known.
2:15Now Pharaoh heard this matter,and sought to slay Moses:therefore Moses fled from Pharaoh,and dwelt in the land of Midian,and he sat down by a well.
2:16And the Priest of Midian had seven daughters, who came and drew water,and filled the troughs,for to water their fathers sheep.
2:17Then the shepherds came and drove them away:but Moses rose up and defended them,and watered their sheep.
2:18And when they came to Revel their father, he said, How are you come so soon today?
2:19And they said, A man of Egypt delivered us from the hand of the shepherds,and also drew us water enough,and watered the sheep.
2:20Then he said to his daughters,And where is he? Why have you so left the man? Call him that he may eat bread.
2:21And Moses agreed to dwell with the man:who gave to Moses Zipporah his daughter:
2:22And she bore a son, whose name he called Gershom:for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
2:23Then in process of time, the King of Egypt died,and the children of Israel sighed for the bondage and cried:and their cry for the bondage came up to Elohim.
2:24Then Elohim heard their moan,and Elohim remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac,and Jacob.
2:25So Elohim looked upon the children of Israel,and Elohim had respect to them.
Chapter 3
3:1When Moses kept the sheep of Jethro his father-in-law, Priest of Midian,and drove the flock to the back side of the desert,and came to the Mountain of Elohim, Horeb,
3:2Then the Angel of YHWH appeared to 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.
3:3Therefore Moses said, I will turn aside now,and see this great sight, why the bush burns not.
3:4And when YHWH saw that he turned aside to see, Elohim called to him out of the midst of the bush,and said, Moses, Moses. And he answered, I am here.
3:5Then he said, Come not here, put your shoes off your feet:for the place where you stand is holy ground.
3:6Moreover he said, I am the Elohim of your father, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac,and the Elohim of Jacob. Then Moses hid his face:for he was afraid to look upon Elohim.
3:7Then YHWH said, I have surely seen the trouble of my people, who are in Egypt,and have heard their cry, because of their taskmasters:for I know their sorrows.
3:8Therefore I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians,and to bring them out of that land into a good land and a large, into a land that flows with milk and honey, even into the place of the Canaanites,and the Hittites,and the Amorites,and the Perizzites,and the Hivites,and the Jebusites.
3:9And now lo, the cry of the children of Israel is come to me, and I have also seen the oppression, with what the Egyptians oppress them.
3:10Come now therefore,and I will send you to Pharaoh,that you may bring my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
3:11But Moses said to Elohim, Who am I,that I should go to Pharaoh,and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?
3:12And he answered, Certainly I will be with you:and this shall be a token to you,that I have sent you, After that you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve Elohim upon this Mountain.
3:13Then Moses said to Elohim, Behold, when I shall come to the children of Israel,and shall say to them, The Elohim of your fathers has sent me to you:if they say to me, What is his Name? What shall I say to them?
3:14And Elohim answered Moses, I Am That I Am. Also he said, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, I Am has sent me to you.
3:15And Elohim spoke further to Moses, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, YHWH Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac,and the Elohim of Jacob has sent me to you:this is my Name forever,and this is my memorial to all ages.
3:16Go and gather the Elders of Israel together,and you shall say to them, YHWH Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac,and Jacob appeared to me,and said, I have surely remembered you,and that which is done to you in Egypt.
3:17Therefore I did say, I will bring you out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites,and the Hittites,and the Amorites,and the Perizzites,and the Hivites,and the Jebusites, to a land that flows with milk and honey.
3:18Then shall they obey your voice,and you and the Elders of Israel shall go to the King of Egypt,and say to him, YHWH Elohim of the Hebrews has met with us:please now therefore, let us go three days journey in the wilderness,that we may sacrifice to YHWH our Elohim.
3:19But I know,that the King of Egypt will not let you go,but by strong hand.
3:20Therefore will I stretch out my hand and smite Egypt with all my wonders, which I will do in the midst of it:and after that shall he let you go.
3:21And I will make this people to be favored of the Egyptians:so that when you go, you shall not go empty.
3:22For every woman shall ask of her neighbor,and of her that sojourns in her house, jewels of silver and jewels of gold and clothing,and you shall put them on your sons,and on your daughters,and shall spoil the Egyptians.
Chapter 4
4:1Then Moses answered,and said,But lo, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice:for they will say, YHWH has not appeared to you.
4:2And YHWH said to him, What is that in your hand? And he answered, A rod.
4:3Then he said, Cast it on the ground. So he cast it on the ground,and it was turned into a serpent:and Moses fled from it.
4:4Again YHWH said to Moses, Put forth your hand,and take it by the tail. Then he put forth his hand and caught it,and it was turned into a rod in his hand.
4:5Do this that they may believe,that YHWH Elohim of their fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac,and the Elohim of Jacob has appeared to you.
4:6And YHWH said furthermore to him, Thrust now your hand into your bosom. And he thrust his hand into his bosom,and when he took it out again, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.
4:7Moreover he said, Put your hand into your bosom again. So 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.
4:8So shall it be, if they will not believe you,neither obey the voice of the first sign, yet shall they believe for the voice of the second sign.
4:9But if they will not yet believe these two signs,neither obey to your voice, then shall you take of the water of the river,and pour it upon the dry land:so the water which you shall take out of the river, shall be turned to blood upon the dry land.
4:10But Moses said to YHWH, Oh my Adonai, I am not eloquent,neither at any time have been, nor yet since you have spoken to your servant:but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.
4:11Then YHWH said to him, Who has given the mouth to man? Or who has made the dumb, or the deaf, or him that sees, or the blind? Have not I YHWH?
4:12Therefore go now,and I will be with your mouth,and will teach you what you shall say.
4:13But he said, Oh my Adonai, send, please, by the hand of him whom you should send.
4:14Then YHWH was very angry with Moses,and said, Do I not know Aaron your brother the Levite,that he himself shall speak? For lo, he comes also forth to meet you,and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
4:15Therefore you shall speak to him,and put the words in his mouth,and I will be with your mouth,and with his mouth,and will teach you what you ought to do.
4:16And he shall be your spokesman to the people:and he shall be, even he shall be as your mouth,and you shall be to him as Elohim.
4:17Moreover you shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do miracles.
4:18Therefore Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law,and said to him, please, let me go,and return to my brethren, who are in Egypt,and see whether they be yet alive. Then Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
4:19(For YHWH had said to Moses in Midian, Go, return to Egypt:for they are all dead which sought your nephesh)
4:20Then Moses took his wife,and his sons,and put them on a donkey,and returned toward the land of Egypt,and Moses took the rod of Elohim in his hand.
4:21And YHWH said to Moses, When you are entered and come into Egypt again, see that you do all the wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in your hand:but I will harden his heart,and he shall not let the people go.
4:22Then you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus saysYHWH, Israel is my son, even my firstborn.
4:23Therefore I say to you, Let my son go,that he may serve me:if you refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay your son, even your firstborn.
4:24And as he was by the way in the inn, YHWH met him,and sought to kill him.
4:25Then Zipporah took a sharp knife,and cut away the foreskin of her son,and cast it at his feet,and said, You are indeed a bloody husband to me.
4:26So he departed from him. Then she said, O bloody husband (because of the circumcision)
4:27Then YHWH said to Aaron, Go meet Moses in the wilderness. And he went and met him in the Mount of Elohim,and kissed him.
4:28Then Moses told Aaron all the words of YHWH, who had sent him, and all the signs with which he had charged him.
4:29So went Moses and Aaron,and gathered all the Elders of the children of Israel.
4:30And Aaron told all the words, which YHWH had spoken to Moses,and he did the miracles in the sight of the people,
4:31And the people believed,and when they heard that YHWH had visited the children of Israel,and had looked upon their tribulation, they bowed down,and worshiped.
Chapter 5
5:1Then afterward Moses and Aaron went and said to Pharaoh, Thus saysYHWH Elohim of Israel, Let my people go,that they may celebrate a feast to me in the wilderness.
5:2And Pharaoh said, Who is YHWH,that I should hear his voice,and let Israel go? I know not YHWH,neither will I let Israel go.
5:3And they said, We worship the Elohim of the Hebrews:please, let us go three days journey in the desert,and sacrifice to YHWH our Elohim,lest he bring upon us the pestilence or sword.
5:4Then said the King of Egypt to them, Moses and Aaron, why cause you the people to cease from their works? Get you to your burdens.
5:5Pharaoh said furthermore, Behold, much people is now in the land,and you make them leave their burdens.
5:6Therefore Pharaoh gave command the same day to the taskmasters of the people,and to their officers, saying,
5:7You shall give the people no more straw, to make brick ( as in time past) but let them go and gather them straw themselves:
5:8Notwithstanding lay upon them the tale of brick, which they made in time past, diminish nothing of it: for they be idle, therefore they cry, saying, Let us go to offer sacrifice to our Elohim.
5:9Lay more work upon the men,and cause them to do it,and let them not regard vain words.
5:10Then went the taskmasters of the people and their officers out,and told the people, saying, Thus says Pharaoh, I will give you no more straw.
5:11Go yourselves, get you straw where you can find it, yet shall nothing of your labor be diminished.
5:12Then were the people scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt,to gather stubble instead of straw.
5:13And the taskmasters pressed them, saying, Finish your days work every days taskmasters, as you did when you had straw.
5:14And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten,and demanded, Why have you not fulfilled your task in making brick yesterday and today, as in times past?
5:15Then the officers of the children of Israel came,and cried to Pharaoh, saying, Why deal you thus with your servants?
5:16There is no straw given to your servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and lo, your servants are beaten, and your people has sinned.
5:17But he said, You are too much idle:therefore you say, Let us go to offer sacrifice to YHWH.
5:18Go therefore now and work:for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall you deliver the whole tale of brick.
5:19Then the officers of the children of Israel saw themselves in an evil case, because it was said, You shall diminish nothing of your brick, nor of every days was.
5:20And they met Moses and Aaron, which stood in their way as they came out from Pharaoh,
5:21To whom they said, YHWH look upon you and judge:for you have made our savor to stink before Pharaoh and before his servants, in that you have put a sword in their hand to slay us.
5:22Why Moses returned to YHWH,and said, Adonai, why have you afflicted this people? Why have you thus sent me?
5:23For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your Name, he has vexed this people,and yet you have not delivered your people.
Chapter 6
6:1Then YHWH said to Moses, Now shall you see, what I will do to Pharaoh:for by a strong hand shall he let them go,and even be forced to drive them out of his land.
6:2Moreover Elohim spoke to Moses,and said to him, I am YHWH,
6:3And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac,and to Jacob by the Name of El Shaddai:but by my Name YHWH was I not known to them.
6:4Furthermore as I made my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers:
6:5So I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage,and have remembered my covenant.
6:6Therefore say to the children of Israel, I am YHWH,and I will bring you out from the burdens of the Egyptians,and will deliver you out of their bondage,and will redeem you with an outstretched arm,and in great judgments.
6:7Also I will take you for my people,and will be your Elohim:then you shall know that I YHWH your Elohim bring you out from the burdens of the Egyptians.
6:8And I will bring you into the land which I swore that I would give to Abraham, to Isaac,and to Jacob,and I will give it to you for a possession:I am YHWH.
6:9So Moses told the children of Israel thus:but they did not listen to Moses,for anguish of spirit and for cruel bondage.
6:10Then YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
6:11Go speak to Pharaoh King of Egypt,that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
6:12But Moses spoke before YHWH, saying, Behold, the children of Israel do not listen to me, how then shall Pharaoh hear me, which am of uncircumcised lips?
6:13Then YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron,and charged them to go to the children of Israel and to Pharaoh King of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
6:14These be the heads of their fathers houses:the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel are Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi:these are the families of Reuben.
6:15Also the sons of Simeon:Jemuel and Jamin,and Ohad,and Jachin,and Zohar,and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman:these are the families of Simeon.
6:16These also are the names of the sons of Levi in their generations:Gershon and Kohath and Merari (and the years of the life of Levi were a hundred thirty and seven year)
6:17The sons of Gershon were Libni and Shimi by their families.
6:18And the sons of Kohath, Amram and Izhar,and Hebron,and Uzziel. (and Kohath lived a hundred thirty and three year)
6:19Also the sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi:these are the families of Levi by their kindreds.
6:20And Amram took Jochebed his fathers sister to his wife,and she bore him Aaron and Moses (and Amram lived a hundred thirty and seven year)
6:21Also the sons of Izhar:Korah,and Nepheg,and Zichri.
6:22And the sons of Uzziel:Mishael,and Elzaphan,and Zithri.
6:23And Aaron took Elisheba daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nahshon to his wife, which bore him Nadab,and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
6:24Also the sons of Korah:Assir,and Elkanah,and Abiasaph:these are the families of the Korahites.
6:25And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to his wife, which bore him Phinehas:these are the principal fathers of the Levites throughout their families.
6:26These are Aaron and Moses to whom YHWH said, Bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, according to their armies.
6:27These are that Moses and Aaron, which spoke to Pharaoh King of Egypt,that they might bring the children of Israel out of Egypt.
6:28And at that time when YHWH spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,
6:29When YHWH, I say, spoke to Moses, saying, I am YHWH, speak to Pharaoh the King of Egypt all that I say to you,
6:30Then Moses said before YHWH, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips,and how shall Pharaoh hear me?
Chapter 7
7:1Then YHWH said to Moses, Behold, I have made you Pharaoh's Elohim,and Aaron your brother shall be your Prophet.
7:2You shall speak all that I commanded you:and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh,that he suffer the children of Israel to go out of his land.
7:3But I will harden Pharaoh's heart,and multiply my miracles and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
7:4And Pharaoh shall not listen to you,that I may lay my hand upon Egypt,and bring out my armies, even my people, the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, by great judgments.
7:5Then the Egyptians shall know that I am YHWH, when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt,and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
7:6So Moses and Aaron did as YHWH commanded them, even so did they.
7:7(Now Moses was four score year old,and Aaron four score and three, when they spoke to Pharaoh)
7:8And YHWH had spoken to Moses and Aaron, saying,
7:9If Pharaoh speak to you, saying, Show a miracle for you, then you shall say to Aaron, Take your rod,and cast it before Pharaoh,and it shall be turned into a serpent.
7:10Then went Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh,and did even as YHWH had commanded:and Aaron cast forth his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants,and it was turned into a serpent.
7:11Then Pharaoh called also for the wise men and sorcerers:and those charmers also of Egypt did in like manner with their enchantments,
7:12For they cast down every man his rod,and they were turned into serpents:but Aaron's rod devoured their rods.
7:13So Pharaoh's heart was hardened,and he did not listen to them, as YHWH had said.
7:14YHWH then said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart is obstinate, he refuses to let the people go.
7:15Go to Pharaoh in the morning, (lo, he will come forth to the water) and you shall stand and meet him by the river's brink, and the rod, which was turned into a serpent, shall you take in your hand.
7:16And you shall say to him, YHWH Elohim of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, Let my people go,that they may serve me in the wilderness:and behold, until now you would not hear.
7:17Thus saysYHWH, In this shall you know that I am YHWH:behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the water that is in the river,and it shall be turned to blood.
7:18And the fish that is in the river shall die,and the river shall stink,and it shall grieve the Egyptians to drink of the water of the river.
7:19YHWH then spoke to Moses, Say to Aaron, Take your rod,and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, over their rivers,and over their ponds,and over all pools of their waters,and they shall be blood,and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood,and of stone.
7:20So Moses and Aaron did even as YHWH commanded:and he lifted up the rod,and smote the water that was in the river in the sight of Pharaoh,and in the sight of his servants:and all the water that was in the river, was turned into blood.
7:21And the fish that was in the river died,and the river stank:so that the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river:and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
7:22And the enchanters of Egypt did likewise with their sorceries:and the heart of Pharaoh's was hardened:so that he did not listen to them, as YHWH had said.
7:23Then Pharaoh returned,and went again into his house,neither did this yet enter into his heart.
7:24All the Egyptians then digged round about the river for waters to drink:for they could not drink of the water of the river.
7:25And this continued fully seven days after YHWH had smitten the river.
7:26Afterward YHWH said to Moses, Go to Pharaoh,and tell him, Thus saysYHWH, Let my people go,that they may serve me:
7:27And if you will not let them go, behold, I will smite all your country with frogs:
7:28And the river shall be full of frogs, which shall go up and come into your house,and into your chamber, where you sleep,and upon your bed,and into the house of your servants,and upon your people,and into your ovens,and into your kneading troughs.
7:29Yes, the frogs shall climb up upon you,and on your people,and upon all your servants.
Chapter 8
8:1Also YHWH said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out your hand with your rod upon the streams, upon the rivers,and upon the ponds,and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
8:2Then Aaron stretched out his hand upon the waters of Egypt,and the frogs came up,and covered the land of Egypt.
8:3And the sorcerers did likewise with their sorceries,and brought frogs up upon the land of Egypt.
8:4Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron,and said, please to YHWH,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 to YHWH.
8:5And Moses said to Pharaoh, Concerning me, even command when I shall entreat for you,and for your servants,and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and from your houses,that they may remain in the river only.
8:6Then he said, Tomorrow. And he answered, Be it as you have said,that you may know,that there is none like to YHWH our Elohim.
8:7So the frogs shall depart from you,and from your houses,and from your servants,and from your people:only they shall remain in the river.
8:8Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh:and Moses cried to YHWH concerning the frogs, which he had sent to Pharaoh.
8:9And YHWH did according to the saying of Moses:so the frogs died in the houses, in the towns,and in the fields.
8:10And they gathered the together by heaps,and the land stank of them.
8:11But when Pharaoh saw that he had rest given him, he hardened his heart,and did not listen to them, as YHWH had said.
8:12Again YHWH said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out the rod,and smite the dust of the earth,that it may be turned to lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
8:13And they did so:for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod,and smote the dust of the earth:and lice came upon man and upon beast:all the dust of the earth was lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
8:14Now the enchanters attempted likewise with their enchantments to bring forth lice,but they could not. So the lice were upon man and upon beast.
8:15Then said the enchanters to Pharaoh, This is the finger of Elohim. But Pharaoh's heart remained obstinate,and he did not listen to them, as YHWH had said.
8:16Moreover YHWH said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning,and stand before Pharaoh (lo, he will come forth to the water) and say to him, Thus saysYHWH, Let my people go,that they may serve me.
8:17Else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies both upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and the ground also on which they are.
8:18But the land of Goshen, where my people are, will I cause to be wonderful in that day, so that no swarms of flies shall be there,that you may know that I am YHWH in the midst of the earth.
8:19And I will make a deliverance of my people from your people:Tomorrow shall this miracle be.
8:20And YHWH did so:for there came great swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh,and into his servants houses, so that through all the land of Egypt, the earth was corrupt by the swarms of flies.
8:21Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron,and said, Go, do sacrifice to your Elohim in this land.
8:22But Moses answered, It is not meet to do so:for then we should offer to YHWH our Elohim that, which is an abomination to the Egyptians. Lo, can we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes,and they not stone us?
8:23Let us go three days journey in the desert,and sacrifice to YHWH our Elohim, as he has commanded us.
8:24And Pharaoh said, I will let you go,that you may sacrifice to YHWH your Elohim in the wilderness:but go not far away, entreat for me.
8:25And Moses said, Behold, I will go out from you,and entreat YHWH,that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants,and from his people Tomorrow:but let Pharaoh from now on deceive no more, in not suffering the people to sacrifice to YHWH.
8:26So Moses went out from Pharaoh and entreated YHWH.
8:27And YHWH did according to the saying of Moses,and the swarms of flies departed from Pharaoh, from his servants,and from his people,and there remained not one.
8:28Yet Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also,and did not let the people go.
Chapter 9
9:1Then YHWH said to Moses, Go to Pharaoh,and tell him, Thus saysYHWH Elohim of the Hebrews, Let my people go,that they may serve me.
9:2But if you refuse to let them go,and will yet hold them still,
9:3Behold, the hand of YHWH is upon your flock which is in the field:for upon the horses, upon the donkeys, upon the camels, upon the cattle,and upon the sheep shall be a mighty great pestilence.
9:4And YHWH shall do wonderfully between the beasts of Israel,and the beasts of Egypt:so that there shall nothing die of all,that pertains to the children of Israel.
9:5And YHWH appointed a time, saying, Tomorrow YHWH shall finish this thing in this land.
9:6So YHWH did this thing on the morrow,and all the cattle of Egypt died:but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
9:7Then Pharaoh sent,and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead:and the heart of Pharaoh was obstinate,and he did not let the people go.
9:8And YHWH said to Moses and to Aaron, Take your handful of ashes of the furnace,and Moses shall sprinkle them toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh,
9:9And they shall be turned to dust in all the land of Egypt:and it shall be as a scab breaking out into blisters upon man,and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
9:10Then they took ashes of the furnace,and stood before Pharaoh:and Moses sprinkled them toward the heaven,and there came a scab breaking out into blisters upon man,and upon beast.
9:11And the sorcerers could not stand before Moses, because of the scab:for the scab was upon the enchanters,and upon all the Egyptians.
9:12And YHWH hardened the heart of Pharaoh,and he did not listen to them, as YHWH had said to Moses.
9:13Also YHWH said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning,and stand before Pharaoh,and tell him, Thus saysYHWH Elohim of the Hebrews, Let my people go,that they may serve me.
9:14For I will at this time send all my plagues upon your heart,and upon your servants,and upon your people,that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth.
9:15For now I will stretch out my hand,that I may smite you and your people with the pestilence:and you shall perish from the earth.
9:16And indeed,for this cause have I appointed you, to show my power in you,and to declare my Name throughout all the world.
9:17Yet you exalt yourself against my people,and let them not go.
9:18Behold, Tomorrow this time I will cause to rain a mighty great hail, such as was not in Egypt since the foundation of it was laid to this time.
9:19Send therefore now,and gather the cattle,and all that you have in the field:for upon all the men,and the beasts, which are found in the field,and not brought home, the hail shall fall upon them,and they shall die.
9:20Such then as feared the word of YHWH among the servants of Pharaoh, made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
9:21But such as regarded not the word of YHWH, left his servants,and his cattle in the field.
9:22And YHWH said to Moses, Stretch forth your hand toward heaven,that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man,and upon beast,and upon all the herbs of the field in the land of Egypt.
9:23Then Moses stretched out his rod toward heaven,and YHWH sent thunder and hail,and lightning upon the ground:and YHWH caused hail to rain upon the land of Egypt.
9:24So there was hail,and fire mingled with the hail, so grievous, as there was none throughout all the land of Egypt, since it was a nation.
9:25And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast:also the hail smote all the herbs of the field,and broke to pieces all the trees of the field.
9:26Only in the land of Goshen (where the children of Israel were) was no hail.
9:27Then Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron,and said to them, I have now sinned:YHWH is righteous,but I and my people are wicked.
9:28please to YHWH (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunders and hail,and I will let you go,and you shall stay no longer.
9:29Then Moses said to him, As soon as I am out of the city, I will spread my hands to YHWH,and the thunder shall cease,neither shall there be any more hail,that you may know that the earth is YHWH's.
9:30As for you and your servants, I know before please will fear before the face of YHWH Elohim.
9:31(And the flax,and the barley were smitten:for the barley was eared,and the flax was in bud.
9:32But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten,for they were hid in the ground)
9:33Then Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh,and spread his hands to YHWH,and the thunder and the hail ceased,neither rained it upon the earth.
9:34And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder were ceased, he sinned again,and hardened his heart, both he,and his servants.
9:35So the heart of Pharaoh was hardened:neither would he let the children of Israel go, as YHWH had said by Moses.
Chapter 10
10:1Again YHWH said to Moses, Go to Pharaoh:for I have hardened his heart,and the heart of his servants,that I might work these my miracles in the midst of his realm,
10:2And that you may declare in the ears of your son,and of your sons son, what things I have done in Egypt,and my miracles, which I have done among them:that you may know that I am YHWH.
10:3Then came Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh,and they said to him, Thus saysYHWH Elohim of the Hebrews, How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go,that they may serve me.
10:4But if you refuse to let my people go, behold, Tomorrow will I bring grasshoppers into your coasts.
10:5And they shall cover the face of the earth,that a man cannot see the earth:and they shall eat the residue which remains to you,and has escaped from the hail:and they shall eat all your trees that bud in the field.
10:6And they shall fill your houses,and all your servants houses,and the houses of all the Egyptians, as neither your fathers, nor your fathers fathers have seen, since the time they were upon the earth to this day. So he returned,and went out from Pharaoh.
10:7Then Pharaoh's servants said to him, How long shall he be an offense to us? Let the men go,that they may serve YHWH their Elohim:will you first know that Egypt is destroyed?
10:8So Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh,and he said to them, Go, serve YHWH your Elohim,but who are they that shall go?
10:9And Moses answered, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our sheep and with our cattle will we go:for we must celebrate a feast to YHWH.
10:10And he said to them, Let YHWH so be with you, as I will let you go and your children:behold,for evil is before your face.
10:11It shall not be so:now go you that are men,and serve YHWH:for that is what you seek. Then they were thrust out from Pharaoh's presence.
10:12After, YHWH said to Moses, Stretch out your hand upon the land of Egypt for the grasshoppers,that they may come upon the land of Egypt,and eat all the herbs of the land, even all that the hail has left.
10:13Then Moses stretched forth his rod upon the land of Egypt:and YHWH brought an east wind upon the land all that day,and all that night:and in the morning the East wind brought the grasshoppers.
10:14So the grasshoppers went up upon all the land of Egypt,and remained in all quarters of Egypt:so grievous Grasshoppers, like to these were never before,neither after them shall be such.
10:15For they covered all the face of the earth, so that the land was dark:and they did eat all the herbs of the land,and all the fruits of the trees, which the hail had left, so that there was no green thing left upon the trees, nor among the herbs of the field throughout all the land of Egypt.
10:16Therefore Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste,and said, I have sinned against YHWH your Elohim,and against you.
10:17And now forgive me my sin only this once,and entreat YHWH your Elohim,that he may take away from me this death only.
10:18Moses then went out from Pharaoh,and entreated YHWH.
10:19And YHWH turned a mighty strong west wind,and took away the grasshoppers,and violently cast them into the red Sea, so that there remained not one grasshopper in all the coast of Egypt.
10:20But YHWH hardened Pharaoh's heart,and he did not let the children of Israel go.
10:21Again YHWH said to Moses, Stretch out your hand toward heaven,that there may be upon the land of Egypt darkness, even darkness that may be felt.
10:22Then Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven,and there was a black darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.
10:23No man saw another,neither rose up from the place where he was for three days:but all the children of Israel had light where they dwelt.
10:24Then Pharaoh called for Moses and said, Go, serve YHWH:only your sheep and your cattle shall abide,and your children shall go with you.
10:25And Moses said, You must give us also sacrifices,and burnt offerings that we may do sacrifice to YHWH our Elohim.
10:26Therefore our cattle also shall go with us: there shall not a hoof be left, for of it must we take to serve YHWH our Elohim: neither do we know how we shall serve YHWH, until we come there.
10:27(But YHWH hardened Pharaoh's heart,and he would not let them go)
10:28And Pharaoh said to him, Get you from me:take heed that you see my face no more:for whenever you come in my sight, you shall die.
10:29Then Moses said, You have said well:from now on will I see your face no more.
Chapter 11
11:1Now YHWH had said to Moses, yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh,and upon Egypt:after that, he will let you go from here:when he lets you go, he shall at once chase you from here.
11:2Speak now to the people,that every man ask of his neighbor,and every woman of her neighbor jewels of silver and jewels of gold.
11:3And YHWH gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians:also Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants,and in the sight of the people.)
11:4Also Moses said, Thus saysYHWH, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt.
11:5And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sits on his throne, to the firstborn of the maid servant,that is at the mill,and all the firstborn of beasts.
11:6Then there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as was never none like, nor shall be.
11:7But against none of the children of Israel shall a dog move his tongue,neither against man nor beast,that you may know that YHWH puts a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
11:8And all these your servants shall come down to me,and fall before me, saying, Go out,and all the people that are at your feet,and after this will I depart. So he went out from Pharaoh very angry.
11:9And YHWH said to Moses, Pharaoh shall not hear you,that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
11:10So Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh:but YHWH hardened Pharaoh's heart,and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Chapter 12
12:1Then YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
12:2This month shall be to you the beginning of months:it shall be to you the first month of the year.
12:3Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this month let every man take to him a lamb, according to the house of the fathers, a lamb for a house.
12:4And if the household be too little for the lamb, he shall take his neighbor, which is next to his house, according to the number of the nepheshes:every one of you, according to his eating shall make your count for the lambs,
12:5Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of a year old:you shall take it of the lambs, or of the kids.
12:6And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month:then all the multitude of the Congregation of Israel shall kill it at even.
12:7After, they shall take of the blood,and strike it on the two posts,and on the upper door post of the houses where they shall eat it.
12:8And they shall eat the flesh the same night, roasted with fire,and unleavened bread:with sour herbs they shall eat it.
12:9Do not eat of it raw, nor boiled in water,but roast with fire, both his head, his feet,and his appurtenance.
12:10And you shall reserve nothing of it to the morning:but that, which remains of it to the morrow, shall you burn with fire.
12:11And thus shall you eat it, Your loins girded, your shoes on your feet,and your staves in your hands,and you shall eat it in haste:for it is YHWH's Passover.
12:12For I will pass through the land of Egypt the same night,and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast,and I will execute judgment upon all the gods of Egypt. I am YHWH.
12:13And the blood shall be a token for you upon the houses where you are:so when I see the blood, I will pass over you,and the plague shall not be upon you to destruction, when I smite the land of Egypt.
12:14And this day shall be to you a remembrance:and you shall keep it a holy feast to YHWH, throughout your generations:you shall keep it holy by an ordinance forever.
12:15Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread,and in any case you shall put away leaven the first day out of your houses:for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day,that nephesh shall be cut off from Israel.
12:16And in the first day shall be a holy assembly:also in the seventh day shall be a holy assembly to you:no work shall be done in them, save about that which every nephesh must eat:that only may you do.
12:17You shall keep also the Feast of Unleavened Bread: for that same day I will bring your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore you shall observe this day, throughout your posterity, by an ordinance forever.
12:18In the first month and the fourteenth day of the month at even, you shall eat unleavened bread to the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
12:19Seven days shall no leaven be found in your houses:for whoever eats leavened bread,that nephesh shall be cut off from the Congregation of Israel:whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
12:20You shall eat no leavened bread:but in all your habitations shall you eat unleavened bread.
12:21Then Moses called all the Elders of Israel,and said to them, Choose out and take for every one of your households a lamb,and kill the Passover.
12:22And take a bunch of hyssop,and dip it in the blood that is in the basin,and strike the lintel,and the door cheeks with the blood that is in the basin,and let none of you go out at the door of his house, until the morning.
12:23For YHWH will pass by to smite the Egyptians:and when he sees the blood upon the lintel and on the two door cheeks, YHWH will pass over the door,and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses to plague you.
12:24Therefore shall you observe this thing as an ordinance both for you and your sons forever.
12:25And when you shall come into the land, which YHWH will give you as he has promised, then you shall keep this service.
12:26And when your children ask you, What service is this you keep?
12:27Then you shall say, It is the sacrifice of YHWH's Passover, which passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians,and preserved our houses. Then the people bowed themselves,and worshiped.
12:28So the children of Israel went,and did as YHWH had commanded Moses and Aaron:so did they.
12:29Now at midnight, YHWH smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the captive that was in prison,and all the firstborn of beasts.
12:30And 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 no house where there was not one dead.
12:31And he called to Moses and to Aaron by night,and said, Rise up, go out from among my people, both you,and the children of Israel,and go serve YHWH as you have said.
12:32Take also your sheep and your cattle as you have said,and depart,and bless me also.
12:33And the Egyptians did force the people, because they would send them out of the land in haste:for they said, We die all.
12:34Therefore the people took their dough before it was leavened, even their dough bound in clothes upon their shoulders.
12:35And the children of Israel did according to the saying of Moses,and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver and jewels of gold,and clothing.
12:36And YHWH gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians:and they granted their request:so they spoiled the Egyptians.
12:37Then the children of Israel took their journey from Rameses to Succoth about six hundred thousand men of foot, beside children.
12:38And a great multitude of sundry sorts of people went out with them,and sheep,and cattle,and livestock in great abundance.
12:39And they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt,and made unleavened cakes:for it was not leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt,neither could they delay, nor yet prepare provisions for themselves.
12:40So the dwelling of the children of Israel, while they dwelled in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
12:41And when the four hundred and thirty years were expired, even the self same day departed all the hosts of YHWH out of the land of Egypt.
12:42It is a night to be kept holy to YHWH, because he brought them out of the land of Egypt:this is that night of YHWH, who all the children of Israel must keep throughout their generations.
12:43Also YHWH said to Moses and Aaron, This is the Law of the Passover:no stranger shall eat of it.
12:44But every servant that is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.
12:45A stranger or a hired servant shall not eat of it.
12:46In one house shall it be eaten:you shall carry none of the flesh out of the house,neither shall you break one of its bones.
12:47All the Congregation of Israel shall observe it.
12:48But if a stranger dwell with you,and will observe the Passover of YHWH, let him circumcise all the males,that belong to him,and then let him come and observe it,and he shall be as one that is born in the land:for none uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
12:49One law shall be to him that is born in the land,and to the stranger that dwells among you.
12:50Then all the children of Israel did as YHWH commanded Moses and Aaron:so did they.
12:51And the self same day did YHWH bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
Chapter 13
13:1And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
13:2Sanctify to me all the firstborn:that is, every one that first opens the womb among the children of Israel, as well of man as of beast:for it is mine.
13:3Then Moses said to the people, Remember this day in the which you came out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:for by a mighty hand YHWH brought you out from there:therefore no leavened bread shall be eaten.
13:4This day you come out in the month of Abib.
13:5Now when YHWH has brought you into the land of the Canaanites,and Hittites,and Amorites,and Hivites,and Jebusites (which he swore to your fathers,that he would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey) then you shall keep this service in this month.
13:6Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread,and the seventh day shall be the feast of YHWH.
13:7Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days,and there shall no leavened bread be seen with you, nor yet leaven be seen with you in all your quarters.
13:8And you shall show your son in that day, saying, This is done, because of that which YHWH did to me, when I came out of Egypt.
13:9And it shall be a sign to you upon your hand,and for a remembrance between your eyes,that the Law of YHWH may be in your mouth:for by a strong hand YHWH brought you out of Egypt.
13:10Keep therefore this ordinance in his season appointed from year to year.
13:11And when YHWH shall bring you into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to you and to your fathers,and shall give it to you,
13:12Then you shall set apart to YHWH all that first opens the womb:also everything that first does open the womb,and comes forth of your beast:the males shall be YHWH's.
13:13But every firstborn of a donkey, you shall redeem with a lamb:and if you redeem him not, then you shall break his neck:likewise all the firstborn of man among your sons shall you buy out.
13:14And when your son shall ask you tomorrow, saying, What is this? You shall then say to him, With a mighty hand YHWH brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
13:15For when Pharaoh was hard hearted against our departing, YHWH then slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt:from the firstborn of man even to the firstborn of beast:therefore I sacrifice to YHWH all the males that first open the womb,but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.
13:16And it shall be as a token upon your hand,and as frontlets between your eyes,that YHWH brought us out of Egypt by a mighty hand.
13:17Now when Pharaoh had let the people go, Elohim carried them not by the way of the Philistines country, though it were near:(for Elohim said,Lest the people repent when they see war,and turn again to Egypt)
13:18But Elohim made the people to go about by the way of the wilderness of the red sea:and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.
13:19(And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him:for he had made the children of Israel swear, saying, Elohim will surely visit you,and you shall take my bones away from here with you)
13:20So they took their journey from Succoth,and camped in Etham in the edge of the wilderness.
13:21And YHWH went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud to lead them the way,and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light,that they might go both by day and by night.
13:22He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night from before the people.
Chapter 14
14:1Then YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
14:2Speak to the children of Israel,that they return and camp before Hahiroth, between Migdol and the Sea, over against Zephon:about it shall the camp by the Sea.
14:3For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are tangled in the land:the wilderness has shut them in.
14:4And I will harden Pharaoh's heart that he shall follow after you:so I will get me honor upon Pharaoh,and upon all his host:the Egyptians also shall know that I am YHWH:and they did so.
14:5Then 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 this done,and have let Israel go out of our service?
14:6And he made ready his chariots,and took his people with him,
14:7And took six hundred chosen chariots,and all the chariots of Egypt,and captains over every one of them.
14:8(For YHWH had hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt,and he followed after the children of Israel:but the children of Israel went out with a high hand)
14:9And the Egyptians pursued after them,and all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh,and his horsemen and his host overtook them camping by the Sea, beside Hahiroth, before Zephon.
14:10And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes,and behold, the Egyptians marched after them,and they were sore afraid:therefore the children of Israel cried to YHWH.
14:11And they said to Moses, Have you brought us to die in the wilderness, because there were no graves in Egypt? Why have you served us thus, to carry us out of Egypt?
14:12Did not we tell you this thing in Egypt, saying, Let us be in rest,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.
14:13Then Moses said to the people, Fear you not, stand still,and behold the salvation of YHWH who he will show to you this day. For the Egyptians, whom you have seen this day, you shall never see them again.
14:14YHWH shall fight for you:therefore hold you your peace.
14:15And YHWH said to Moses, Why cry you to me? Speak to the children of Israel that they go forward:
14:16And lift up your rod,and stretch out your hand upon the Sea and divide it,and let the children of Israel go on dry ground through the midst of the Sea.
14:17And I, behold, I will harden the heart of the Egyptians,that they may follow them,and I will get me honor upon Pharaoh,and upon all his host, upon his chariots,and upon his horsemen.
14:18Then the Egyptians shall know that I am YHWH, when I have gotten me honor upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots,and upon his horsemen.
14:19(And the Angel of Elohim, who went before the host of Israel, removed and went behind them:also the pillar of the cloud went from before them,and stood behind them,
14:20And came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel:it was both a cloud and darkness, yet gave it light by night, so that all the night long the one came not at the other)
14:21And Moses stretched forth his hand upon the Sea,and YHWH caused the sea to run back by a strong east wind all the night,and made the Sea dry land:for the waters were divided.
14:22Then the children of Israel went through the midst of the Sea upon the dry ground,and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand,and on their left hand.
14:23And the Egyptians pursued and went after them to the midst of the Sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots,and his horsemen.
14:24Now in the morning watch, when YHWH looked to the host of the Egyptians, out of the fiery and cloudy pillar, he struck the host of the Egyptians with fear.
14:25For he took off their chariot wheels,and they drove them with much a do:so that the Egyptians every one said, I will flee from the face of Israel:for YHWH fights for them against the Egyptians.
14:26Then YHWH said to Moses, Stretch your hand upon the Sea,that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and upon their horsemen.
14:27Then Moses stretched forth his hand upon the Sea,and the Sea returned to his force early in the morning,and the Egyptians fled against it:but YHWH overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the Sea.
14:28So the water returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them:there remained not one of them.
14:29But the children of Israel walked upon dry land through the midst of the Sea,and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand,and on their left.
14:30Thus YHWH saved Israel the same day out of the hand of the Egyptians,and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
14:31And Israel saw the mighty power, which YHWH showed upon the Egyptians:so the people feared YHWH,and believed YHWH,and his servant Moses.
Chapter 15
15:1Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to YHWH,and said in this manner, I will sing to YHWH:for he has triumphed gloriously:the horse and him that rode upon him has he overthrown in the Sea.
15:2The Lord is my strength and praise,and he is become my salvation. He is my Elohim,and I will prepare him a tabernacle. He is my father's El,and I will exalt him.
15:3YHWH is a man of war, his Name is YHWH.
15:4Pharaoh's chariots and his host has he cast into the Sea:his chosen captains also were drowned in the red Sea.
15:5The depths have covered them, they sank to the bottom as a stone.
15:6Your right hand, O YHWH, is glorious in power:Your right hand, O YHWH, has dashed the enemy.
15:7And in your great glory you have overthrown them that rose against you:you sent forth your wrath, which consumed them as the stubble.
15:8And by the blast of your nostrils the waters were gathered, the floods stood still as a heap, the depths congealed together in the heart of the Sea.
15:9The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake them, I will divide the spoil, my nephesh shall be satisfied upon them, I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
15:10You blew with your wind, the Sea covered them, they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
15:11Who is like to You, O YHWH, among the Gods! Who is like You so glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders!
15:12You stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them.
15:13You will by your chesed carry this people, who you delivered:you will bring them in your strength to your holy habitation.
15:14The people shall hear and be afraid:sorrow shall come upon the inhabitants of Philistia.
15:15Then the chiefs of Edom shall be amazed,and trembling shall come upon the great men of Moab:all the inhabitants of Canaan shall grow fainthearted.
15:16Fear and dread shall fall upon them:because of the greatness of Your arm, they shall be still as a stone, till Your people pass, O YHWH:till this people pass, which you have purchased.
15:17You shall bring them in,and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, which is the place that You have prepared, O YHWH,for to dwell in, even the sanctuary, O Adonai, who your hands shall establish.
15:18YHWH shall reign forever and ever.
15:19For Pharaohs horses went with his chariots and horsemen into the Sea,and YHWH brought the waters of the Sea upon them:but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the Sea.
15:20And Miriam the prophetess, sister of Aaron took a timbrel in her hand,and all the women came out after her with timbrels and dances.
15:21And Miriam answered the men, Sing you to YHWH:for he has triumphed gloriously:the horse and his rider has he overthrown in the Sea.
15:22Then 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 waters.
15:23And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah,for they were bitter:therefore the name of the place was called Marah.
15:24Then the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
15:25And he cried to YHWH,and YHWH showed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were sweet:there he made them an ordinance and a law,and there he proved them,
15:26And said, if you will diligently listen, O Israel, to the voice of YHWH your Elohim,and will do that, which is right in his sight,and will give ear to his commandments,and keep all his ordinances, then will I put none of these diseases upon you, which I brought upon the Egyptians:for I am YHWH that heals you.
15:27And they came to Elim, where were twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees, and they camped by it the waters.
16:1Afterward all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from Elim,and came to the wilderness of Sin, (which is between Elim and Sinai) the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
16:2And the whole Congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.
16:3For the children of Israel said to them, Oh that we had died by the hand of YHWH in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, when we ate bread our bellies full:for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole company with famine.
16:4Then said YHWH to Moses, Behold, I will cause bread to rain from heaven to you,and the people shall go out,and gather that that is sufficient for every day,that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my Law or no.
16:5But the sixth day they shall prepare that, which they shall bring home,and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
16:6Then Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, At even you shall know,that YHWH brought you out of the land of Egypt:
16:7And in the morning you shall see the glory of YHWH:for he has heard your murmurings against YHWH:and what are we that you have murmured against us?
16:8Again Moses said, At even shall YHWH give the flesh to eat,and in the morning your full of bread:for YHWH has heard your murmurings, which you murmur against him:for what are we? Your murmurings are not against us,but against YHWH.
16:9And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the Congregation of the children of Israel, Draw near before YHWH:for he has heard your murmurings.
16:10Now as Aaron spoke to the whole Congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness,and behold, the glory of YHWH appeared in a cloud.
16:11(For YHWH had spoken to Moses, saying,
16:12I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel:tell them therefore,and say, At even you shall eat flesh,and in the morning you shall be filled with bread,and you shall know that I am YHWH your Elohim)
16:13And so at even the quail came and covered the camp:and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
16:14And when the dew that was fallen was ascended, behold, a small round thing was upon the face of the wilderness, small as the frost on the earth.
16:15And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna,for they knew not what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which YHWH has given you to eat.
16:16This is the thing which YHWH has commanded:gather of it every man according to his eating an Omer for a man according to the number of your nepheshes:every man shall take for them which are in his tent.
16:17And the children of Israel did so,and gathered, some more, some less.
16:18And when they did measure it with an Omer, he that had gathered much, had nothing over,and he that had gathered little, had no lack:so every man gathered according to his eating.
16:19Moses then said to them, Let no man reserve of it till morning.
16:20Notwithstanding they obeyed not Moses:but some of them reserved of it till morning,and it was full of worms,and stank:therefore Moses was angry with them.
16:21And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating:for when the heat of the sun came, it was melted.
16:22And the sixth day they gathered twice so much bread, two Omers for one man:then all the rulers of the Congregation came and told Moses.
16:23And he answered them, This is that, which YHWH has said, Tomorrow is the rest of the holy Sabbath to YHWH:bake that today which you will bake,and boil that which you will boil,and all that remains, lay it up to be kept till the morning for you.
16:24And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses commanded, and it stank not, neither was there any worm in it.
16:25Then Moses said, Eat that today:for today is the Sabbath to YHWH:today you shall not find it in the field.
16:26Six days shall you gather it,but in the seventh day is the Sabbath:in it there shall be none.
16:27Notwithstanding, there went out some of the people in the seventh day for to gather,and they found none.
16:28And YHWH said to Moses, How long do you refuse to keep my commandments,and my laws?
16:29Behold, how YHWH has given you the Sabbath:therefore he gives you the sixth day bread for two days:let every man stay in his place:let no man go out of his place the seventh day.
16:30So the people rested the seventh day.
16:31And the house of Israel called the name of it, manna. And it was like to coriander seed,but white:and the taste of it was like to wafers made with honey.
16:32And Moses said, This is that which YHWH has commanded, Fill an Omer of it, to keep it for your posterity: that they may see the bread with which I have fed you in wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.
16:33Moses also said to Aaron, Take a pot and put an Omer full of manna in it, and set it before YHWH to be kept for your posterity.
16:34As YHWH commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony to be kept.
16:35And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited:they did eat manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
16:36The Omer is the tenth part of the Ephah.
Chapter 17
17:1And all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys at the commandment of YHWH,and camped in Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.
17:2Therefore the people contended with Moses,and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said to them, Why contend you with me? Therefore do you tempt YHWH?
17:3So the people thirsted there for water,and the people murmured against Moses,and said, Why have you thus brought us out of Egypt to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
17:4And Moses cried to YHWH, saying, What shall I do to this people? For they be almost ready to stone me.
17:5And YHWH answered to Moses, Go before the people, and take with you of the Elders of Israel: and your rod, with which you smote the river, take in your hand, and go:
17:6Behold, I will stand there before you upon the rock in Horeb,and you shall smite on the rock,and water shall come out of it,that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the Elders of Israel.
17:7And he called the name of the place, Massah and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel,and because they had tempted YHWH, saying, Is YHWH among us, or no?
17:8Then came Amalek and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
17:9And Moses said to Joshua, Choose us out men,and go fight with Amalek:Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of Elohim in my hand.
17:10So Joshua did as Moses bad him,and fought with Amalek:and Moses, Aaron,and Hur, went up to the top of the hill.
17:11And when Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed:but when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed.
17:12Now Moses hands were heavy:therefore they took a stone and put it under him,and he sat upon it:and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side,and the other on the other side:so his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
17:13And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
17:14And YHWH said to Moses, Write this for a remembrance in the book,and rehearse it to Joshua:for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
17:15(And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, YHWH-nissi)
17:16Also he said, YHWH has sworn,that he will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
Chapter 18
18:1When Jethro the Priest of Midian Moses' father-in-law heard all that Elohim had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and how YHWH had brought Israel out of Egypt,
18:2Then Jethro the father-in-law of Moses, took Zipporah Moses' wife, (after he had sent her away)
18:3And her two sons, (Of what the one was called Gershom:for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land:
18:4And the name of the other was Eliezer:for the Elohim of my father, said he, was my help,and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh)
18:5And Jethro Moses' father-in-law came with his two sons, and his wife to Moses into the wilderness, where he camped by the Mount of Elohim.
18:6And he said to Moses, I your father-in-law Jethro am come to you,and your wife and her two sons with her.
18:7And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law,and did obeisance and kissed him,and each asked other of his welfare:and they came into the tent.
18:8Then Moses told his father-in-law all that YHWH had done to Pharaoh,and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake,and all the hardship that had come upon them on the way,and how YHWH delivered them.
18:9And Jethro rejoiced at all the goodness, which YHWH had showed to Israel,and because he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.
18:10Therefore Jethro said, Blessed be YHWH who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians,and out of the hand of Pharaoh:who has also delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
18:11Now I know that YHWH is greater than all the gods:for as they have dealt proudly with them, so are they recompensed.
18:12Then Jethro Moses' father-in-law took burnt offerings and sacrifices to offer to Elohim. And Aaron and all the Elders of Israel came to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before Elohim.
18:13Now on the morning, when Moses sat to judge the people, the people stood about Moses from morning to even.
18:14And when Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this that you do to the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand about you from morning to even?
18:15And Moses said to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to seek Elohim.
18:16When they have a matter, they come to me,and I judge between one and another,and declare the ordinances of Elohim,and his laws.
18:17But Moses' father-in-law said to him, The thing which you do, is not well.
18:18You both weary yourself greatly,and this people that is with you:for the thing is too heavy for you:you are not able to do it yourself alone.
18:19Hear now my voice, (I will give you counsel,and Elohim shall be with you) be you for the people to Elohim,and report you the causes to Elohim,
18:20And admonish them of the ordinances, and of the laws, and show them the way, in which they must walk, and the work that they must do.
18:21Moreover, provide you among all the people men of courage, fearing Elohim, men dealing truly, hating covetousness:and appoint such over them to be rulers over thousands, rulers over hundreds, rulers over fifties,and rulers over tens.
18:22And let them judge the people at all seasons:but every great matter let them bring to you,and let them judge all small causes:so shall it be easier for you, when they shall bear the burden with you.
18:23If you do this thing, (and Elohim so command you) both you shall be able to endure,and all this people shall also go quietly to their place.
18:24So Moses obeyed the voice of his father-in-law,and did all that he had said:
18:25And Moses chose men of courage out of all Israel,and made them heads over the people, rulers over thousands, rulers over hundreds, rulers over fifties,and rulers over tens.
18:26And they judged the people at all seasons,but they brought the hard causes to Moses:for they judged all small matters themselves.
18:27Afterward Moses let his father-in-law depart,and he went into his country.
Chapter 19
19:1In the third month, after the children of Israel were gone out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
19:2For they departed from Rephidim,and came to the departed of Sinai,and camped in the wilderness:even there Israel camped before the mount.
19:3But Moses went up to Elohim,for YHWH had called out of the mount to him, saying, Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob,and tell the children of Israel,
19:4You have seen what I did to the Egyptians,and how I carried you upon eagles wings,and have brought you to me.
19:5Now therefore if you will hear my voice indeed,and keep my covenant, then you shall be my chief treasure above all people, though all the earth be mine.
19:6You shall be to me also a kingdom of Priests,and a holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.
19:7Moses then came and called for the Elders of the people,and proposed to them all these things, which YHWH commanded him.
19:8And the people answered all together,and said, All that YHWH has commanded, we will do. And Moses reported the words of the people to YHWH.
19:9And YHWH said to Moses, Lo, I come to you in a thick cloud,that the people may hear, while I talk with you,and that they may also believe you forever. (for Moses had told the words of the people to YHWH)
19:10Moreover, YHWH said to Moses, Go to the people,and sanctify them today and tomorrow,and let them wash their clothes.
19:11And let them be ready on the third day:for the third day YHWH will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai:
19:12And you shall set marks to the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves that you do not go up the mount, nor touch the border of it:whoever touches the mount, shall surely die.
19:13No hand shall touch it,but he shall be stoned to death, or stricken through with darts:whether it be beast or man, he shall not live:when the horn blows long, they shall come up into the mountain.
19:14Then Moses went down from the mount to the people,and sanctified the people,and they washed their clothes.
19:15And he said to the people, Be ready on the third day,and come not at your wives.
19:16And the third day, when it was morning, there was thunders and lightnings,and a thick cloud upon the mount,and the sound of the trumpet exceeding loud, so that all the people,that was in the camp, was afraid.
19:17Then Moses brought the people out of the tents to meet with Elohim,and they stood in the nether part of the mount.
19:18And mount Sinai was all on smoke, because YHWH came down upon it in fire, and the smoke of it ascended, as the smoke of a furnace, and all the mount trembled exceedingly.
19:19And when the sound of the trumpet blew long,and grew louder and louder, Moses spoke,and Elohim answered him by voice.
19:20(For YHWH came down upon mount Sinai on the top of the mount) and when YHWH called Moses up into the top of the mount, Moses went up.
19:21Then YHWH said to Moses, Go down, charge the people,that they break not their bounds, to go up to YHWH to gaze,lest many of them perish.
19:22And let the Priests also which come to YHWH be sanctified,lest YHWH destroy them.
19:23And Moses said to YHWH, The people cannot come up into the mount Sinai:for you have charged us, saying, Set marks on the mountain,and sanctify it.
19:24And YHWH said to him, Go down,and come up, you,and Aaron with you:but let not the Priests and the people break their bounds to come up to YHWH,lest he destroy them.
19:25So Moses went down to the people,and told them.
Chapter 20
20:1Then Elohim spoke all these words, saying,
20:2I am YHWH your Elohim, who have brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
20:3You shall have none other Gods before me.
20:4You shall make for yourself no graven image,neither any similitude of things that are in heaven above,neither that are in the earth beneath, nor that are in the waters under the earth.
20:5You shall not bow down to them,neither serve them:for I am YHWH your Elohim, a jealous El, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third generation and upon the fourth of them that hate me:
20:6And showing chesed to thousands to them that love me,and keep my commandments.
20:7You shall not take the Name of YHWH your Elohim in vain:for YHWH will not hold him guilt that takes his Name in vain.
20:8Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
20:9Six days shall you labor,and do all your work,
20:10But the seventh day is the Sabbath of YHWH your Elohim:in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your man servant, nor your maid, nor your beast, nor your stranger that is within your gates.
20:11For in six days YHWH made the heaven and the earth, the sea,and all that in them is,and rested the seventh day:therefore YHWH blessed the Sabbath day,and hallowed it.
20:12Honor your father and your mother,that your days may be prolonged upon the land, which YHWH your Elohim gives you.
20:13You shall not kill.
20:14You shall not commit adultery.
20:15You shall not steal.
20:16You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
20:17You shall not covet your neighbors house,neither shall you covet your neighbors wife, nor his man servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his donkey,neither anything that is your neighbors.
20:18And all the people saw the thunders,and the lightnings,and the sound of the trumpet,and the mountain smoking and when the people saw it they fled and stood afar off,
20:19And said to Moses, Talk you with us,and we will hear:but let not Elohim talk with us,lest we die.
20:20Then Moses said to the people, Fear not:for Elohim is come to prove you,and that his fear may be before you,that you do not sin.
20:21So the people stood afar off,but Moses drew near to the darkness where Elohim was.
20:22And YHWH said to Moses, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, You have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
20:23You shall not make therefore with me gods of silver, nor gods of gold:you shall make for yourself none.
20:24An altar of earth you shall make to me, and on it shall offer your burnt offerings, and your peace offerings, your sheep, and your oxen: in all places, where I shall put the remembrance of my Name, I will come to you, and bless you.
20:25But if you will make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stones:for if you lift up your tool upon them, you have polluted them.
20:26Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your filthiness be not discovered on it.
21:1Now these are the laws, which you shall set before them:
21:2If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years,and in the seventh he shall go out free,for nothing.
21:3If he came himself alone, he shall go out himself alone:if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
21:4If his master have given him a wife,and she has born him sons or daughters, he wife and her children shall be her masters,but he shall go out himself alone.
21:5But if the servant say thus, I love my master, my wife and my children, I will not go out free,
21:6Then his master shall bring him to the Judges,and set him to the door, or to the post,and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl,and he shall serve him forever.
21:7Likewise if a man sell his daughter to be a servant, she shall not go out as the men servants do.
21:8If she please not her master, who has betrothed her to himself, then shall he cause to buy her:he shall have no power to sell her to a strange people, seeing he despised her.
21:9But if he has betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her according to the custom of the daughters.
21:10If he take him another wife, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing,and recompense of her virginity.
21:11And if he do not these three to her, then shall she go out free, paying no money.
21:12He that smites a man,and he die, shall die the death.
21:13And if a man has not laid wait,but Elohim has offered him into his hand, then I will appoint a place for you where he shall flee.
21:14But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor to slay him with guile, you shall take him from my altar,that he may die.
21:15Also he that smites his father or his mother, shall die the death.
21:16And he that steals a man,and sells him, if it be found with him, shall die the death.
21:17And he that curses his father or his mother, shall die the death.
21:18When men also strive together,and one smite another with a stone, or with the fist,and he die not,but lies in bed,
21:19If he rise again and walk without upon his staff, then shall he that smote him go quite, save only he shall bear his charges for his resting,and shall pay for his healing.
21:20And if a man smite his servant, or his maid with a rod,and he die under his hand, he shall be surely punished.
21:21But if he continue a day, or two days, he shall not be punished:for he is his money.
21:22Also if men strive and hurt a woman with child, so that her child depart from her,and death follow not, he shall be surely punished according as the woman's husband shall appoint him, or he shall pay as the Judges determine.
21:23But if death follow, then you shall pay nephesh for nephesh,
21:24Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
21:25Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
21:26And if a man smite his servant in the eye, or his maid in the eye,and has perished it, he shall let him go free for his eye.
21:27Also if he smite out his servants tooth, or his maids tooth, he shall let him go out free for his tooth.
21:28If an ox gore a man or a woman,that he die, the ox shall be stoned to death,and his flesh shall not be eaten,but the owner of the ox shall go quite.
21:29If the ox were accustomed to gore in times past,and it has been told his master,and he has not kept him,and after he kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned,and his owner shall die also.
21:30If there be set to him a sum of money, then he shall pay the ransom of his nephesh, whatever shall be laid upon him.
21:31Whether he has gored a son or gored a daughter, he shall be judged after the same manner.
21:32If the ox gore a servant or a maid, he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver,and the ox shall be stoned.
21:33And when a man shall open a well, or when he shall dig a pit and cover it not, and an ox or a donkey fall in it,
21:34The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money to the owners of it, but the dead beast shall be his.
21:35And if a man's ox hurt his neighbors ox that he die, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it, and the dead ox also they shall divide.
21:36Or if it be known that the ox has used to push in times past,and his master has not kept him, he shall pay ox for ox,but the dead shall be his own.
21:37If a man steal an ox or a sheep,and kill it or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for the ox,and four sheep for the sheep.
Chapter 22
22:1If a thief be found breaking up,and be smitten that he die, no blood shall be shed for him.
22:2But if it be in the daylight, blood shall be shed for him: for he should make full restitution: if he has nothing, then should he be sold for his theft.
22:3If the theft be found with him, alive, (whether it be ox, donkey, or sheep) he shall restore the double.
22:4If a man do hurt field, or vineyard,and put in his beast to feed in another man's field, he shall recompense of the best of his own field,and of the best of his own vineyard.
22:5If fire break out,and catch in the thorns,and the stacks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field be consumed, he that kindled the fire shall make full restitution.
22:6If a man deliver his neighbor money or stuff to keep,and it be stolen out of his house, if the thief be found, he shall pay the double.
22:7If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the Judges to swear, whether he has put his hand to his neighbor's goods, or no.
22:8In all manner of trespass, whether it be for oxen,for donkey,for sheep,for clothing, or for any manner of lost thing, which another clothing to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the Judges,and whom the Judges condemn, he shall pay the double to his neighbor.
22:9If a man deliver to his neighbor to keep donkey, or ox, or sheep, or any beast,and it die, or be hurt, or taken away by enemies,and no man see it,
22:10An oath of YHWH shall be between the two,that he has not put his hand to his neighbor's goods,and the owner of it shall take the oath,and he shall not make it good:
22:11But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it.
22:12If it be torn in pieces, he shall bring record,and shall not make that good, which is devoured.
22:13And if a man borrows anything from his neighbor, and it be hurt, or else die, the owner of it not being by, he shall surely make it good.
22:14If the owner of it be by, he shall not make it good: for if it be a hired thing, it came for his hire.
22:15And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed,and lie with her, he shall endow her,and take her to his wife.
22:16If her father refuse to give her to him, he shall pay money, according to the dowry of virgins.
22:17You shall not suffer a witch to live.
22:18Whoever lies with a beast, shall die the death.
22:19He that offers to any gods, save to YHWH only, shall be slain.
22:20Moreover, you shall not do injury to a stranger,neither oppress him:for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
22:21You shall not trouble any widow, nor fatherless child.
22:22If you vex or trouble such,and so he call and cry to me, I will surely hear his cry.
22:23Then shall my wrath be kindled,and I will kill you with the sword,and your wives shall be widows,and your children fatherless.
22:24If you lend money to my people,that is, to the poor with you, you shall not be as a creditor to him:you shall not lay interest upon him.
22:25If you take your neighbors clothing to pledge, you shall restore it to him before the sun go down:
22:26For that is his covering only, and this is his garment for his skin: in what shall he sleep? Therefore when he cries to me, I will hear him: for I am gracious.
22:27You shall not revile upon the Judges,neither speak evil of the ruler of your people.
22:28Your abundance and your liquor shall you not keep back. The firstborn of your sons shall you give me.
22:29Likewise shall you do with your oxen and with your sheep:seven days it shall be with its mother,and the eighth day you shall give it to me.
22:30You shall be a holy people to me,neither shall you eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field:you shall cast it to the dog.
Chapter 23
23:1You shall not receive a false tale,neither shall you put your hand with the wicked, to be a false witness.
23:2You shall not follow a multitude to do evil,neither agree in a controversy to decline after many and overthrow the truth.
23:3You shall not esteem a poor man in his cause.
23:4If you meet your enemies ox, or his donkey going astray, you shall bring him to him again.
23:5If you see your enemies donkey lying under his burden, will you cease to help him? You shall help him up again with it.
23:6You shall not overthrow the right of your poor in his suit.
23:7You shall keep you far from a false matter,and shall not slay the innocent and the righteous:for I will not justify a wicked man.
23:8You shall take no gift:for the gift blinds the wise,and perverts the words of the righteous.
23:9You shall not oppress a stranger:for you know the nephesh of a stranger, seeing you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
23:10Moreover, six years you shall sow your land, and gather the fruits of it,
23:11But the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie still,that the poor of your people may eat,and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner you shall do with your vineyard,and with your olive trees.
23:12Six days you shall do your work,and in the seventh day you shall rest,that your ox,and your donkey may rest,and the son of your maid and the stranger may be refreshed.
23:13And you shall take heed to all things that I have said to you:and you shall make no mention of the name of other gods,neither shall it be heard out of your mouth.
23:14Three times you shall keep a feast to me in the year.
23:15You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread: you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, in the season of the month of Abib: for in it you came out of Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:
23:16The feast also of the harvest of the first fruits of your labors, which you have sown in the field: and the Feast of Ingathering in the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labors out of the field.
23:17These three times in the year shall all your men children appear before Adonai YHWH.
23:18You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread:neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
23:19The first of the first fruits of your land you shall bring into the house of YHWH your Elohim:yet shall you not boil a kid in his mothers milk.
23:20Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way,and to bring you to the place which I have prepared.
23:21Beware of him,and hear his voice,and provoke him not:for he will not spare your transgressions, because my name is in him.
23:22But if you listen to his voice,and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies,and will afflict them that afflict you.
23:23For my Angel shall go before you,and bring you to the Amorites,and the Hittites,and the Perizzites,and the Canaanites, the Hivites,and the Jebusites,and I will destroy them.
23:24You shall not bow down to their gods,neither serve them, nor do after the works of them:but utterly overthrow them,and break in pieces their images.
23:25For you shall serve YHWH your Elohim,and he shall bless your bread and your water,and I will take all sickness away from the midst of you.
23:26There shall none cast their fruit nor be barren in your land:the number of your days will I fulfill.
23:27I will send my fear before you,and will destroy all the people among whom you shall go:and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you:
23:28And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites,and the Hittites from your face.
23:29I will not cast them out from your face in one year,lest the land grow to a wilderness:and the beasts of the field multiply against you.
23:30By little and little I will drive them out from your face, until you increase,and inherit the land.
23:31And I will make your coasts from the red sea to the sea of the Philistines,and from the desert to the River:for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand,and you shall drive them out from your face.
23:32You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods:
23:33Neither shall they dwell in your land,lest they make you sin against me:for if you serve their gods, surely it shall be your destruction.
Chapter 24
24:1Now he had said to Moses, Come up to YHWH, you,and Aaron, Nadab,and Abihu,and seventy of the Elders of Israel,and you shall worship afar off.
24:2And Moses himself alone shall come near to YHWH,but they shall not come near,neither shall the people go up with him.
24:3Afterward Moses came and told the people all the words of YHWH,and all the laws:and all the people answered with one voice,and said, All the things which YHWH has said, will we do.
24:4And Moses wrote all the words of YHWH,and rose up early,and set up an altar under the mountain,and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
24:5And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings,and sacrificed peace offerings of bulls to YHWH.
24:6Then Moses took half of the blood,and put it in basins,and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
24:7After he took the book of the covenant,and read it in the audience of the people:who said, All that YHWH has said, we will do,and be obedient.
24:8Then Moses took the blood,and sprinkled it on the people,and said, Behold, the blood of the covenant, which YHWH has made with you concerning all these things.
24:9Then went up Moses and Aaron, Nadab,and Abihu,and seventy of the Elders of Israel.
24:10And they saw the Elohim of Israel, and under his feet was as it were a work of a Sapphire stone, and as the very heaven when it is pure.
24:11And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand:also they saw Elohim,and did eat and drink.
24:12And YHWH said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain,and be there,and I will give you tables of stone,and the law and the commandment, which I have written,to teach them.
24:13Then Moses rose up,and his minister Joshua,and Moses went up into the mountain of Elohim,
24:14And said to the Elders, Wait here for us, until we come again to you:and behold, Aaron,and Hur are with you:whoever has any matters, let him come to them.
24:15Then Moses went up to the mount,and the cloud covered the mountain,
24:16And the glory of YHWH abode upon mount Sinai,and the cloud covered it six days:and the seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
24:17And the sight of the glory of YHWH was like consuming fire on the top of the mountain, in the eyes of the children of Israel.
24:18And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud,and went up to the mountain:and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
Chapter 25
25:1Then YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
25:2Speak to the children of Israel,that they receive an offering for me:of every man, whose heart gives it freely, you shall take the offering for me.
25:3And this is the offering which you shall take of them, gold,and silver,and brass,
25:4And blue silk,and purple,and scarlet,and fine linen,and goats hair,
25:5And rams skins colored red,and the skins of badgers,and the acacia wood,
25:6Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil,and for the perfume of sweet savor,
25:7Onyx stones,and stones to be set in the Ephod,and in the breast plate.
25:8Also they shall make me a Sanctuary,that I may dwell among them.
25:9According to all that I show you, even so shall you make the form of the Tabernacle, and the fashion of all the instruments of it.
25:10They shall make also an Ark of acacia wood, two cubits and a half long,and a cubit and a half broad,and a cubit and a half high.
25:11And you shall overlay it with pure gold:within and without shall you overlay it,and shall make upon it a crown of gold round about.
25:12And you shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners of it: that is, two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.
25:13And you shall make bars of acacia wood,and cover them with gold.
25:14Then you shall put the bars in the rings by the sides of the Ark, to bear the Ark with them.
25:15The bars shall be in the rings of the Ark:they shall not be taken away from it.
25:16So you shall put in the Ark the Testimony which I shall give you.
25:17Also you shall make a Mercy seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half long,and a cubit and a half broad.
25:18And you shall make two Cherubim of gold:of work beaten out with the hammer shall you make them at the two ends of the Mercy seat.
25:19And the one Cherub shall you make at the one end, and the other Cherub at the other end: of the matter of the Seat shall you make the Cherubim, on the two ends of it.
25:20And the Cherubim shall stretch their wings on high, covering the Mercy seat with their wings,and their faces one to another:to the Mercy seat ward shall the faces of the Cherubim be.
25:21And you shall put the Seat above upon the Ark,and in the Ark you shall put the Testimony, which I will give you,
25:22And there I will declare myself to you,and from above the Seat between the two Cherubim, which are upon the Ark of the Testimony, I will tell you all things which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.
25:23You shall also make a Table of acacia wood, of two cubits long,and one cubit broad,and a cubit and a half high:
25:24And you shall cover it with pure gold,and make thereto a crown of gold round about.
25:25You shall also make to it a border of four fingers around about and you shall make a golden crown round about the border of it.
25:26After, you shall make for it four rings of gold,and shall put the rings in the four corners that are in the four feet of it:
25:27Over against the border shall the rings be for places for bars, to bear the Table.
25:28And you shall make the bars of acacia wood,and shall overlay them with gold,that the Table may be born with them.
25:29You shall make also dishes for it, and incense cups for it, and coverings for it, and goblets, with which it shall be covered, even of pure gold shall you make them.
25:30And you shall set upon the Table showbread before me continually.
25:31Also you shall make a Candlestick of pure gold:of work beaten out with the hammer shall the Candlestick be made, his shaft,and his branches, his bowls, his knobs:and his flowers shall be of the same.
25:32Six branches also shall come out of the sides of it:three branches of the Candlestick out of the one side of it,and three branches of the Candlestick out of the other side of it.
25:33Three bowls like to almonds, one knob and one flower in one branch:and three bowls like almonds in the other branch, one knob and one flower:so throughout the six branches that come out of the Candlestick.
25:34And in the shaft of the Candlestick shall be four bowls like to almonds, his knob and his flowers.
25:35And there shall be a knob under two branches made of it: and a knob under two branches made of it: and a knob under two branches made of it, according to the six branches coming out of the Candlestick.
25:36Their knobs and their branches shall be of it. All this shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
25:37And you shall make the seven lamps of it: and the lamps of it shall you put on it, to give light toward that that is before it.
25:38Also the snuffers and snuff dishes of it shall be of pure gold.
25:39Of a talent of pure gold shall you make it with all these instruments.
25:40Look therefore that you make them after their fashion,that was showed you in the mountain.
Chapter 26
26:1Afterward you shall make the Tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen,and blue silk,and purple,and scarlet:and in them you shall make Cherubim of embroidered work.
26:2The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits,and the width of one curtain, four cubits:every one of the curtains shall have one measure.
26:3Five curtains shall be coupled one to another:and the other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.
26:4And you shall make strings of blue silk upon the edge of the one curtain, which is in the selvedge of the coupling:and likewise shall you make in the edge of the other curtain in the selvedge, in the second coupling.
26:5Fifty strings shall you make in one curtain,and fifty strings shall you make in the edge of the curtain, which is in the second coupling:the strings shall be one right against another.
26:6You shall make also fifty clasps of gold,and couple the curtains one to another with the clasps,and it shall be one tabernacle.
26:7Also you shall make curtains of goats hair, to be a covering upon the Tabernacle:you shall make them to the number of eleven curtains.
26:8The length of a curtain shall be thirty cubits,and the breadth of a curtain four cubits:the eleven curtains shall be of one measure.
26:9And you shall couple five curtains by themselves, and the six curtains by themselves: but you shall double the sixth curtain upon the forefront of the tent.
26:10And you shall make fifty strings in the edge of one curtain, in the selvedge of the coupling,and fifty strings in the edge of the other curtain in the second coupling.
26:11Likewise you shall make fifty clasps of brass, and fasten them on the strings, and shall couple the tent together, that it may be one.
26:12And the remnant that rests in the curtains of the covering, even the half curtain that rests, shall be left at the backside of the Tabernacle,
26:13That the cubit on the one side,and the cubit on the other side of that which is left in the length of the curtains of the covering, may remain on either side of the Tabernacle to cover it.
26:14Moreover, for the tent you shall make a covering of rams skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers skins above.
26:15Also you shall make boards for the Tabernacle of acacia wood to stand up.
26:16Ten cubits shall be the length of a board,and a cubit and a half cubit the breadth of one board.
26:17Two tenons shall be in one board set in order as the feet of a ladder, one against another:thus shall you make for all the boards of the Tabernacle.
26:18And you shall make boards for the Tabernacle, even twenty boards on the South side, even full South.
26:19And you shall 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.
26:20In like manner on the other side of the Tabernacle toward the North side shall be twenty boards,
26:21And their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under one board,and two sockets under another board.
26:22And on the side of the Tabernacle, toward the West shall you make six boards.
26:23Also two boards shall you make in the corners of the Tabernacle in the two sides.
26:24Also they shall be joined beneath,and likewise they shall be joined above to a ring:thus shall it be for them two:they shall be for the two corners.
26:25So they shall be eight boards having sockets of silver, even sixteen sockets,that is, two sockets under one board,and two sockets under another board.
26:26And you shall make five bars of acacia wood for the boards of one side of the Tabernacle,
26:27And five bars for the boards of the other side of the Tabernacle:also five bars for the boards of the side of the Tabernacle toward the Side.
26:28And the middle bar shall go through the midst of the boards, from end to end.
26:29And you shall cover the boards with gold,and make their rings of gold,for places for the bars,and you shall cover the bars with gold.
26:30So you shall raise up the Tabernacle, according to the fashion of it, which was showed you in the mount.
26:31Moreover, you shall make a veil of blue silk,and purple,and scarlet,and fine twined linen:you shall make it of embroidered work with Cherubim.
26:32And you shall hang it upon four pillars of acacia wood covered with gold, (whose hooks shall be of gold) hang upon four sockets of silver.
26:33Afterward you shall hang the veil on the hooks,that you may bring in there,that is (within the veil) the ark of the Testimony:and the veil shall make you a separation between the Holy place and the most holy place.
26:34Also you shall put the Mercy seat upon the Ark of the testimony in the most Holy place.
26:35And you shall set the Table without the veil,and the Candlestick over against the Table on the Outside of the Tabernacle,and you shall set the Table on the Outside.
26:36Also you shall make a hanging for the door of the Tabernacle of blue silk,and purple,and scarlet,and fine twined linen worked with needle.
26:37And you shall make for the hanging five pillars of acacia,and cover them with gold:their heads shall be of gold,and you shall cast five sockets of brass for them.
Chapter 27
27:1Moreover you shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad (the altar shall be four square) and the height of it three cubits.
27:2And you shall make it horns in the four corners of it: the horns shall be of itself, and you shall cover it with brass.
27:3Also you shall make his pans for his ashes and his brooms, and his basins, and his forks, and his censers: you shall make all the instruments of it of brass.
27:4And you shall make to it a grate like network of brass: also upon that grate shall you make four brass rings upon the four corners of it.
27:5And you shall put it under the compass of the altar beneath,that the grate may be in the midst of the altar.
27:6Also you shall make bars for the altar, bars, I say, of acacia wood,and shall cover them with brass.
27:7And the bars of it shall be put in the rings, the which bars shall be upon the two sides of the altar to bear it.
27:8You shall make the altar hollow between the boards:as God showed you in the mount, so shall they make it.
27:9Also you shall make the court of the Tabernacle in the Side, even full South:the court shall have curtains of fine twined linen, of a hundred cubits long,for one side,
27:10And it shall have twenty pillars, with their twenty sockets of brass:the heads of the pillars,and their filets shall be silver.
27:11Likewise on the Side in length there shall be hangings of a hundred cubits long, and the twenty pillars of it with their twenty sockets of brass: the heads of the pillars and the filets shall be silver.
27:12And the breadth of the court on the Side shall have curtains of fifty cubits, with their ten pillars and their ten sockets.
27:13And the breadth of the court, Eastward full East shall have fifty cubits.
27:14Also hangings of fifteen cubits shall be on the one side with their three pillars and their three sockets.
27:15Likewise on the other side shall be hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets.
27:16And in the gate of the court shall be a veil of twenty cubits, of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen worked with needle, with the four pillars of it and their four sockets.
27:17All the pillars of the court shall have filets of silver round about, with their heads of silver,and their sockets of brass.
27:18The length of the court shall be a hundred cubits,and the breadth fifty at either end,and the height five cubits,and the hangings of fine twined linen,and their sockets of brass.
27:19All the vessels of the Tabernacle for all manner service of it, and all the pins of it, and all the pins of the court shall be brass.
27:20And you shall command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten, for the light, that the lamps may always burn.
27:21In the Tabernacle of the Congregation without the veil, which is before the Testimony, shall Aaron and his sons dress them from evening to morning before YHWH,for a statute forever to their generations, to be observed by the children of Israel.
Chapter 28
28:1And cause you your brother Aaron to come to you and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel,that he may serve me in the Priests office:I mean Aaron, Nadab,and Abihu, Eleazar,and Ithamar Aaron's sons.
28:2Also you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, glorious and beautiful.
28:3Therefore you shall speak to all wise-hearted men, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron's garments to sanctify him, that he may serve me in the Priest's office.
28:4Now these shall be the garments, which they shall make, a breast plate,and an Ephod,and a robe,and a tunic, a turban,and a sash. So these holy garments shall they make for Aaron your brother,and for his sons,that he may serve me in the Priest's office.
28:5Therefore they shall take gold,and blue silk,and purple,and scarlet,and fine linen,
28:6And they shall make the Ephod of gold, blue silk,and purple, scarlet,and fine twined linen of worked work.
28:7The two shoulders of it shall be joined together by their two edges: so shall it be closed.
28:8And the embroidered guard of the same Ephod, which shall be upon him, shall be of the self same work and stuff, even of gold, blue silk,and purple,and scarlet,and fine twined linen.
28:9And you shall take two onyx stones,and grave upon them the names of the children of Israel:
28:10Six names of them upon the one stone,and the six names that remain, upon the second stone, according to their generations.
28:11You shall cause to grave the two stones according to the names of the children of Israel by a graver of signets,that works and graves in stone,and shall make them to be set and embossed in gold.
28:12And you shall put the two stones upon the shoulders of the Ephod, as stones of remembrance of the children of Israel:for Aaron shall bear their names before YHWH upon his two shoulders for a remembrance.
28:13So you shall make bosses of gold,
28:14And two chains of pure gold at the end, of the work shall you make them, and shall fasten the chains upon the bosses.
28:15Also you shall make the breast plate of judgment with embroidered work:like the work of the Ephod shall you make it:of gold, blue silk,and purple,and scarlet,and fine twined linen shall you make it.
28:16Four square it shall be and double, a hand width long and a hand width broad.
28:17Then you shall set it full of places for stones, even four rows of stones:the order shall be this, a ruby, a topaz,and a carbuncle in the first row.
28:18And in the second row you shall set an emerald, a sapphire,and a diamond.
28:19And in the third row a turquoise, an agate,and a hematite.
28:20And in the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx,and a jasper:and they shall be set in gold in their embossments.
28:21And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, graven as signets, every one after his name,and they shall be for the twelve tribes.
28:22Then you shall make upon the breast plate two chains at the ends of braided work of pure gold.
28:23You shall make also upon the breast plate two rings of gold,and put the two rings on the two ends of the breast plate.
28:24And you shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings in the ends of the breast plate.
28:25And the other two ends of the two braided chains, you shall fasten in the two embossments,and shall put them upon the shoulders of the Ephod on the foreside of it.
28:26Also you shall make two rings of gold, which you shall put in the two other ends of the breast plate, upon the border of it, toward the inside of the Ephod.
28:27And two other rings of gold you shall make,and put them on the two sides of the Ephod, beneath in the forepart of it over against the coupling of it upon the embroidered guard of the Ephod.
28:28Thus they shall bind the breast plate by his rings to the rings of the Ephod, with a lace of blue silk,that it may be fast upon the cord guard of the Ephod,and that the breast plate be not loosed from the Ephod.
28:29So Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breast plate of judgment upon his heart, when he goes into the holy place,for a remembrance continually before YHWH.
28:30Also you shall put in the breast plate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, which shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goes in before YHWH:and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before YHWH continually.
28:31And you shall make the robe of the Ephod altogether of blue silk.
28:32And the hole for his head shall be in the midst of it, having an edge of woven work round about the collar of it:so it shall be as the collar of a coat of mail that it tear not.
28:33And beneath upon the skirts of it you shall make pomegranates of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, round about the skirts of it, and bells of gold between them round about:
28:34That is, a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate round about upon the skirts of the robe.
28:35So it shall be upon Aaron, when he ministers,and his sound shall be heard, when he goes into the holy place before YHWH,and when he comes out,and he shall not die.
28:36Also you shall make a plate of pure gold, and grave on it, as signets are graven, Holiness to YHWH,
28:37And you shall put it on a blue silk lace,and it shall be upon the turban:even upon the front of the turban shall it be.
28:38So it shall be upon Aaron's forehead,that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the offerings, which the children of Israel shall offer in all their holy offerings:and it shall be always upon his forehead, to make them acceptable before YHWH.
28:39Likewise you shall embroider the fine linen coat,and you shall make a turban of fine linen,but you shall make a sash of embroidered work.
28:40Also you shall make for Aaron's sons coats,and you shall make the sashes,and caps shall you make for them for glory and comeliness.
28:41And you shall put them upon Aaron your brother,and on his sons with him,and shall anoint them,and fill their hands,and sanctify them,that they may minister to me in the Priest's office.
28:42You shall also make them linen undergarments to cover the flesh of their nakedness: from the loins to the thighs shall they reach.
28:43And they shall be for Aaron and his sons when they come into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, or when they come to the altar to minister in the holy place,that they commit not iniquity,and so die. This shall be a law forever to him and to his seed after him.
Chapter 29
29:1This thing also shall you do to them when you sanctify them to be my Priests, Take a young calf, and two rams without blemish,
29:2And unleavened bread and cakes unleavened tempered with oil,and wafers unleavened anointed with oil:(of fine wheat flour shall you make them)
29:3Then you shall put them in one basket,and present them in the basket with the calf and the two rams,
29:4And shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation,and wash them with water.
29:5Also you shall take the garments,and put upon Aaron the tunic,and the robe of the Ephod,and the Ephod,and the breast plate,and shall close them to him with the embroidered guard of the Ephod.
29:6Then you shall put the turban upon his head,and shall put the holy crown upon the turban.
29:7And you shall take the anointing oil,and shall pour upon his head,and anoint him.
29:8And you shall bring his sons,and put coats upon them,
29:9And shall fasten them with sashes, both Aaron and his sons:and shall put the caps on them,and the Priests office shall be theirs for a perpetual law:you shall also fill the hands of Aaron,and the hands of his sons.
29:10After, you shall present the calf before the Tabernacle of the Congregation,and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the calf.
29:11So you shall kill the calf before YHWH, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
29:12Then you shall take of the blood of the calf,and put it upon the horns of the altar with your finger,and shall pour all the rest of the blood at the foot of the altar.
29:13Also you shall take all the fat that covers the inwards,and the caul,that is on the liver,and the two kidneys,and the fat that is upon them,and shall burn them upon the altar.
29:14But the flesh of the calf,and his skin,and his you shall you burn with fire without the host:it is a sin offering.
29:15You shall also take one ram,and Aron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
29:16Then you shall kill the ram,and take his blood,and sprinkle it round about upon the altar,
29:17And you shall cut the ram in pieces,and wash the inwards of him and his legs,and shall put them upon the pieces of it,and upon his head.
29:18So you shall burn the whole ram upon the altar:for it is a burnt offering to YHWH for a sweet savor:it is an offering made by fire to YHWH.
29:19And you shall take the other ram,and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
29:20Then you shall kill the ram,and take of his blood and put it upon the lobe of Aaron's ear,and upon the lobe 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 shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar around about.
29:21And you shall take of the blood that is upon the altar,and of the anointing oil,and shall sprinkle it upon Aaron,and upon his garments,and upon his sons,and upon the garments of his sons with him:so he shall be hallowed,and his clothes,and his sons,and the garments of his sons with him.
29:22Also you shall take of the ram the fat and the rump, even the fat that covers the inwards,and the caul of the liver,and the two kidneys,and the fat that is upon them,and the right shoulder, (for it is the ram of consecration)
29:23And one loaf of bread,and one cake of bread tempered with oil,and one wafer, out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before YHWH.
29:24And you shall put all this in the hands of Aaron,and in the hands of his sons,and shall shake them to and fro before YHWH.
29:25Again, you shall receive them of their hands,and burn them upon the altar besides the burnt offering for a sweet savor before YHWH:for this is an offering made by fire to YHWH.
29:26Likewise you shall take the breast of the ram of the consecration, which is for Aaron,and shall shake it to and fro before YHWH and it shall be your part.
29:27And you shall sanctify the breast of the shaken offering,and the shoulder of the heave offering, which was shaken to and fro,and which was heave up of the ram of the consecration, which was for Aaron,and which was for his sons.
29:28And Aaron and his sons shall have it by a statute forever, of the children of Israel:for it is a heave offering,and it shall be a heave offering of the children of Israel, of their peace offerings, even their heave offering to YHWH.
29:29And the holy garments, which appertain to Aaron, shall be his sons after him, to be anointed in them,and to be consecrated in them.
29:30That son that shall be Priest in his stead, shall put them on seven days, when he comes into the Tabernacle of the Congregation to minister in the holy place.
29:31So you shall take the ram of the consecration,and boil its flesh in the holy place.
29:32And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram,and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
29:33So they shall eat these things, by which their atonement was made, to consecrate them, and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat of it, because they are holy things.
29:34Now if any of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread remain to the morning, then you shall burn the rest with fire:it shall not be eaten, because it is a holy thing.
29:35Therefore shall you do thus to Aaron and to his sons, according to all things, which I have commanded you:seven days shall you consecrate them,
29:36And shall offer every day a calf for a sin offering,for reconciliation:and you shall cleanse the altar, when you have offered upon it for reconciliation,and shall anoint it, to sanctify it.
29:37Seven days shall you cleanse the altar,and sanctify it, so the altar shall be most holy:and whatever touches the altar, shall be holy.
29:38Now this is that which you shall present upon the altar:even two lambs of one year old, day by day continually.
29:39The one lamb you shall present in the morning,and the other lamb you shall present at even.
29:40And with the one lamb, a tenth part of fine 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.
29:41And the other lamb you shall present at even:you shall do thereto according to the offering of the morning,and according to the drink offering of it, to be a burnt offering for a sweet savor to YHWH.
29:42This shall be a continual burnt offering in your generations at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before YHWH, where I will make appointment with you, to speak there to you.
29:43There I will appoint with the children of Israel,and the place shall be sanctified by my glory.
29:44And I will sanctify the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the altar:I will sanctify also Aaron and his sons to be my Priests,
29:45And I will dwell among the children of Israel,and will be their Elohim.
29:46Then shall they know that I am YHWH their Elohim,that brought them out of the land of Egypt,that I might dwell among them:I am YHWH their Elohim.
Chapter 30
30:1Furthermore you shall make an altar for sweet perfume, of acacia wood you shall make it.
30:2The length of it a cubit and the breadth of it a cubit (it shall be four square) and the height of it two cubits: the horns of it shall be of the same,
30:3And you shall overlay it with pure gold, both the top of it and the sides of it round about, and his horns: also you shall make to it a crown of gold round about.
30:4Besides this you shall make under this crown two golden rings on either side:even on every side shall you make them,that they may be as places for the bars to bear it with.
30:5The which bars you shall make of acacia wood,and shall cover them with gold.
30:6After you shall set it before the veil,that is near the Ark of Testimony, before the Mercy seat that is upon the Testimony, where I will appoint with you.
30:7And Aaron shall burn on it sweet incense every morning: when he dresses the lamps of it, shall he burn it.
30:8Likewise at even, when Aaron sets up the lamps of it, he shall burn incense: this perfume shall be perpetually before YHWH, throughout your generations.
30:9You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt sacrifice, nor offering, neither pour any drink offering on it.
30:10And Aaron shall make reconciliation upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering in the day of reconciliation:once in the year shall he make reconciliation upon it throughout your generations:this is most holy to YHWH.
30:11Afterward YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
30:12When you take the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then they shall give every man a redemption of his nephesh to YHWH, when you tell them,that there be no plague among them when you count them.
30:13This shall every man give,that goes into the number, half a shekel, after the shekel of the Sanctuary:(a shekel is twenty gerahs) the half shekel shall be an offering to YHWH.
30:14All that are numbered from twenty year old and above, shall give an offering to YHWH.
30:15The rich shall not pass,and the poor shall not diminish from half a shekel, when you shall give an offering to YHWH,for the redemption of your nepheshes.
30:16So you shall take the money of the redemption of the children of Israel,and shall put it to the use of the Tabernacle of the Congregation,that it may be a memorial to the children of Israel before YHWH for the redemption of your nepheshes.
30:17Also YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
30:18You shall also make a laver of brass, and his foot of brass to wash, and shall put it between the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and shall put water in it.
30:19For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet there.
30:20When they go into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, or when they go to the Altar to minister and to make the perfume of the burnt offering to YHWH, they shall wash themselves with water,lest they die.
30:21So they shall wash their hands and their feet that they die not:and this shall be to them an ordinance forever, both to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
30:22Also YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
30:23Take also for yourself principal spices of the most pure myrrh five hundred shekels, of sweet cinnamon half so much,that is, two hundred and fifty,and of sweet calamus, two hundred,and fifty:
30:24Also of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the Sanctuary, and of olive oil an Hin.
30:25So you shall make of it the oil of holy ointment, even a most precious ointment after the art of the Apothecary:this shall be the oil of holy ointment.
30:26And you shall anoint the Tabernacle of the Congregation with it, and the Ark of the Testimony:
30:27Also the Table, and all the instruments of it, and the Candlestick, with all the instruments of it, and the altar of incense:
30:28Also the Altar of burnt offering with all his instruments,and the laver and his foot.
30:29So you shall sanctify them,and they shall be most holy:all that shall touch them, shall be holy.
30:30You shall also anoint Aaron and his sons, and shall sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the Priests office.
30:31Moreover you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil to me, throughout your generations.
30:32None shall anoint, man's flesh with it, neither shall you make any composition like to it: for it is holy, and shall be holy to you.
30:33Whoever shall make the like ointment, or whoever shall put any of it upon a stranger, even he shall be cut off from his people.
30:34And YHWH said to Moses, Take to you these spices, pure myrrh and clear gum and galbanum, these odors with pure frankincense, of each like weight:
30:35Then you shall make of them perfume composed after the art of the apothecary, mingled together, pure and holy.
30:36And you shall beat it to powder,and shall put of it before the Ark of the Testimony in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, where I will make appointment with you:it shall be to the most holy.
30:37And you shall not make to you any composition like this perfume, which you shall make:it shall be holy to YHWH.
30:38Whoever shall make like to that to smell thereto, even he shall be cut off from his people.
Chapter 31
31:1And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
31:2Behold, I have called by name, Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah,
31:3Whom I have filled with the Spirit of Elohim, in wisdom,and in understanding and in knowledge and in all workmanship:
31:4To find out curious works to work in gold,and in silver,and in brass,
31:5Also in the art to set stones,and to carve in timber,and to work in all manner of workmanship.
31:6And behold, I have joined with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan,and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted, have I put wisdom to make all that I have commanded you:
31:7That is, the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the Ark of the Testimony, and the Mercy seat that shall be upon it, with all instruments of the Tabernacle:
31:8Also the Table and the instruments of it, and the pure Candlestick with all his instruments, and the Altar of perfume:
31:9Likewise the Altar of burnt offering with all his instruments,and the Laver with his foot:
31:10Also the garments of the ministration,and the holy garments for Aaron the Priest,and the garments of his sons, to minister in the Priest's office,
31:11And the anointing oil,and sweet perfume for the Sanctuary:according to all that I have commanded you, shall they do.
31:12Afterward YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
31:13Speak you also to the children of Israel,and say, Notwithstanding keep you my Sabbaths:for it is a sign between me and you in your generations,that you may know that I YHWH do sanctify you.
31:14You shall therefore keep the Sabbath: for it is holy to you: he that profanes it, shall die the death: therefore whoever works in it, the same nephesh shall be even cut off from among his people.
31:15Six days shall men work,but in the seventh day is the Sabbath of the holy rest to YHWH:whoever does any work in the Sabbath day, shall die the death.
31:16Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath,that they may observe the rest throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant.
31:17It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever:for in six days YHWH made the heaven and the earth,and in the seventh day he ceased,and rested.
31:18Thus (when the Lord had made an end of communing with Moses upon mount Sinai) he gave him two Tables of the Testimony, even tables of stone, written with the finger of Elohim.
Chapter 32
32:1But when the people saw,that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together against Aaron,and said to him, Up, make us gods to go before us:for of this Moses (the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt) we know not what is become of him.
32:2And Aaron said to them, Pluck off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons,and of your daughters,and bring them to me.
32:3Then all the people plucked from themselves the golden earrings, which were in their ears,and they brought them to Aaron.
32:4Who received them at their hands,and fashioned it with the graving tool,and made of it a molten calf:then they said, These be your gods, O Israel, which brought you out of the land of Egypt
32:5When Aaron saw that, he made an Altar before it:and Aaron proclaimed, saying, Tomorrow shall be the holy day of YHWH.
32:6So they rose up the next day in the morning,and offered burnt offerings,and brought peace offerings:also the people sat them down to eat and drink,and rose up to play.
32:7Then YHWH said to Moses, Go down:for your people who you have brought out of the land of Egypt, has corrupted their ways.
32:8They are soon turned out of the way, which I commanded them:for they have made them a molten calf and have worshiped it,and have offered thereto, saying, These be your gods, O Israel, which have brought you out of the land of Egypt.
32:9Again YHWH said to Moses, I have seen this people,and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
32:10Now therefore let me alone,that my wrath may burn hot against them,for I will consume them:but I will make of you a mighty people.
32:11But Moses implored YHWH his Elohim,and said, O YHWH, why does Your wrath burn hot against Your people, who You have brought out of the land of Egypt, with great power and with a mighty hand?
32:12Why shall the Egyptians speak,and say, He has brought them out maliciously for to slay them in the mountains,and to consume them from the earth? Turn from your fierce wrath,and change your mind from this evil toward your people.
32:13Remember Abraham, Isaac,and Israel your servants, to whom you swore by your own self,and said to them, I will multiply your seed, as the stars of the heaven,and all this land,that I have spoken of, will I give to your seed,and they shall inherit it forever.
32:14Then YHWH changed his mind from the evil, which he relented to do to his people.
32:15So Moses returned and went down from the mountain with the two Tables of the Testimony in his hand:the Tables were written on both their sides, even on the one side and on the other were they written.
32:16And these Tables were the work of Elohim,and this writing was the writing of Elohim graven in the Tables.
32:17And when Joshua heard the noise of the people, as they shouted, he said to Moses, There is a noise of war in the host.
32:18Who answered, It is not the noise of them that have the victory, nor the noise of them that are overcome:but I hear the sound of singing.
32:19Now, as soon as he came near to the host, he saw the calf and the dancing:so Moses' wrath burned hot,and he cast the Tables out of his hands,and broke them in pieces beneath the mountain.
32:20After, he took the calf, which they had made,and burned it in the fire,and ground it to powder,and scattered it upon the water,and made the children of Israel drink of it.
32:21Also Moses said to Aaron, What did this people to you,that you have brought so great a sin upon them?
32:22Then Aaron answered, Let not the wrath of my Lord burn fiercely:You know this people,that they are even set on mischief.
32:23And they said to me, Make us gods to go before us:for we know not what is become of this Moses (the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt.)
32:24Then I said to them, You that have gold, pluck it off: and they brought it me, and I did cast it into the fire, and of it came this calf.
32:25Moses therefore saw that the people were naked (for Aaron had made them naked to their shame among their enemies)
32:26And Moses stood in the gate of the camp,and said, Who pertains to YHWH? Let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves to him.
32:27Then he said to them, Thus saysYHWH Elohim of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side:go to and fro, from gate to gate, through the host,and slay every man his brother,and every man his companion,and every man his neighbor.
32:28So the children of Levi did as Moses had commanded:and there fell of the people the same day about three thousand men.
32:29(For Moses had said, Consecrate your hands to YHWH this day, even every man upon his son,and upon his brother,that there may be given you a blessing this day)
32:30And when the morning came, Moses said to the people, You have committed a grievous crime:but now I will go up to YHWH, if I may pacify him for your sin.
32:31Moses therefore went again to YHWH,and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin,and have made them gods of gold.
32:32Therefore now if you pardon their sin, your mercy shall appear:but if you will not, please, rase me out of your book, which you have written.
32:33Then YHWH said to Moses, Whoever has sinned against me, I will put out of my book.
32:34Go now therefore, bring the people to the place which I commanded you:behold, my Angel shall go before you,but yet in the day of my visitation I will visit their sin upon them.
32:35So YHWH plagued the people, because they caused Aaron to make the calf which he made.
Chapter 33
33:1Afterward YHWH said to Moses, Depart, go up from here, you,and the people (which you have brought up out of land of Egypt) to the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob, saying, To your seed will I give it.
33:2And I will send an Angel before you and will cast out the Canaanites, the Amorites,and the Hittites,and the Perizzites, the Hivites,and the Jebusites:
33:3To a land, I say,that flows with milk and honey:for I will not go up with you, because you are a stiff-necked people,lest I consume you in the way.
33:4And when the people heard this evil tidings, they sorrowed,and no man put on his best clothing.
33:5(For YHWH had said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people, I will come suddenly upon you,and consume you:therefore now put your costly clothing from you,that I may know what to do to you)
33:6So the children of Israel laid their good clothing from them, after Moses came down from the mount Horeb.
33:7Then Moses took his tabernacle,and pitched it without the host far off from the host,and called it Ohel-moed. And when any did seek to YHWH, he went out to the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which was without the host.
33:8And when Moses went out to the Tabernacle, all the people rose up,and stood every man at his tent door,and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the Tabernacle.
33:9And as soon as Moses was entered into the Tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended and stood at the door of the Tabernacle,and the Lord talked with Moses.
33:10Now when all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the Tabernacle door, all the people rose up,and worshiped every man in his tent door.
33:11And YHWH spoke to Moses, face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. After he turned again into the host,but his servant Joshua the son of Nun a young man, departed not out of the Tabernacle.
33:12Then Moses said to YHWH, See, you say to me, Lead this people forth,and you have not showed me whom you will send with me:you have said moreover, I know you by name,and you have also found favor in my sight.
33:13Now therefore, please, if I have found favor in your sight, show me now your way,that I may know you,and that I may find favor in your sight:consider also that this nation is your people.
33:14And he answered, My presence shall go with you,and I will give you rest.
33:15Then he said to him, If your presence do not go with us, carry us not from here.
33:16And in what now shall it be known, that I and your people have found favor in your sight? Shall it not be when you go with us? So I, and your people shall have preeminence before all the people that are upon the earth.
33:17And YHWH said to Moses, I will do this also that you have said:for you have found favor in my sight,and I know you by name.
33:18Again he said, I ask you, show me your glory.
33:19And he answered, I will make all my good go before you,and I will proclaim the Name of YHWH before you:for I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious,and will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
33:20Furthermore he said, You cannot see my face,for there shall no man see me,and live.
33:21Also YHWH said, Behold, there is a place by me,and you shall stand upon the rock:
33:22And while my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock,and will cover you with my hand while I pass by.
33:23After I will take away my hand,and you shall see my back parts:but my face shall not be seen.
Chapter 34
34:1And YHWH said to Moses, Hew you two Tables of stone, like to the first,and I will write upon the Tables the words that were in the first Tables, which you broke in pieces.
34:2And be ready in the morning,that you may come up early to the mount of Sinai,and wait there for me in the top of the mount.
34:3But let no man come up with you,neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount,neither let the sheep nor cattle feed before this mount.
34:4Then Moses hewed two Tables of stone like to the first,and rose up early in the morning,and went up to the mount of Sinai, as YHWH had commanded him,and took in his hand two Tables of stone.
34:5And YHWH descended in the cloud,and stood with him there,and proclaimed the name of YHWH.
34:6So YHWH passed before his face,and cried, YHWH, YHWH, strong, merciful,and gracious, slow to anger,and abundant in chesed and truth,
34:7Reserving chesed for thousands, forgiving iniquity,and transgression and sin,and not making the wicked innocent, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children,and upon children's children, to the third and fourth generation.
34:8Then Moses made haste and bowed himself to the earth,and worshiped,
34:9And said, O Adonai, please, If I have found favor in your sight,that Adonai would now go with us ( for it is a stiff-necked people) and pardon our iniquity and our sin,and take us for your inheritance.
34:10And he answered, Behold, I will make a covenant before all your people,and will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the world,neither in all nations:and all the people among whom you are, shall see the work of YHWH:for it is a terrible thing that I will do with you.
34:11Keep diligently that which I command you this day:Behold, I will cast out before you the Amorites,and the Canaanites,and the Hittites,and the Perizzites,and the Hivites,and the Jebusites.
34:12Take heed to yourself, that you make no covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you go, lest they be the cause of ruin among you:
34:13But you shall overthrow their altars,and break their images in pieces,and cut down their groves,
34:14(For you shall bow down to none other god, because YHWH, whose Name is Jealous, is a jealous El)
34:15Lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and when they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice to their gods, some man calls you, and you eat of his sacrifice:
34:16And lest you take of their daughters to your sons,and their daughters go a whoring after their gods,and make your sons go a whoring after their gods.
34:17You shall make for yourself no gods of metal.
34:18The Feast of Unleavened Bread shall you keep: seven days shall you eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the time of the month of Abib: for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.
34:19Every male,that first opens the womb, shall be mine:also all the firstborn of your flock shall be reckoned mine, both of ox and sheep.
34:20But the first of the donkey you shall buy out with a lamb:and if you redeem him not, then you shall break his neck:all the firstborn of your sons shall you redeem,and none shall appear before me empty.
34:21Six days shall you work,and in the seventh day you shall rest:both in plowing time,and in the harvest you shall rest.
34:22You shall also observe the Feast of Weeks in the time of the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering in the end of the year.
34:23Thrice in a year shall all your men children appear before Adonai YHWH Elohim of Israel.
34:24For I will cast out the nations before you,and enlarge your coasts, so that no man shall desire your land, when you shall come up to appear before YHWH your Elohim thrice in the year.
34:25You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, neither shall any of the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover be left to the morning.
34:26The first ripe fruits of your land you shall bring to the house of YHWH your Elohim:yet shall you not boil a kid in his mothers milk.
34:27And YHWH said to Moses, Write you these words:for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.
34:28So he was there with YHWH forty days and forty nights,and did neither eat bread nor drink water:and he wrote in the Tables the words of the covenant, even the ten commandments.
34:29So when Moses came down from mount Sinai, the two Tables of the Testimony were in Moses' hand, as he descended from the mount: (now Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone bright, after that God had talked with him.
34:30And Aaron and all the children of Israel looked upon Moses,and behold, the skin of his face shone bright,and they were afraid to come near him)
34:31But Moses called them:and Aaron and all the chief of the congregation returned to him:and Moses talked with them.
34:32And afterward all the children of Israel came near,and he charged them with all that YHWH had said to him in mount Sinai.
34:33So Moses made an end of communing with them,and had put a covering upon his face.
34:34But, when Moses came before YHWH to speak with him, he took off the covering until he came out:then he came out,and spoke to the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
34:35And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, how the skin of Moses' face shone bright:therefore Moses put the covering upon his face, until he went to speak with God.
Chapter 35
35:1Then Moses assembled all the Congregation of the children of Israel,and said to them, These are the words which YHWH has commanded,that you should do them:
35:2Six days you shall work, but the seventh day shall be to you the holy Sabbath of rest to YHWH: whoever does any work in it, shall die.
35:3You shall kindle no fire throughout all your habitations upon the Sabbath day.
35:4Again, Moses spoke to all the Congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which YHWH commands, saying,
35:5Take from among you an offering to YHWH:whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring this offering to YHWH, namely gold,and silver,and brass:
35:6Also blue silk,and purple,and scarlet,and fine linen,and goats hair,
35:7And rams skins dyed red,and badgers skins with acacia wood:
35:8Also oil for light,and spices for the anointing oil,and for the sweet incense,
35:9And onyx stones,and stones to be set in the Ephod,and in the breast plate.
35:10And all the wise hearted among you, shall come and make all that YHWH has commanded:
35:11That is, the Tabernacle, that pavilion of it, and his covering, and his clasps and his boards, his bars, his pillars and his sockets,
35:12The Ark, and the bars of it, the Mercy Seat, and the veil that covers it,
35:13The Table, and the bars of it, and all the instruments of it, and the showbread:
35:14Also the Candlestick of light and his instruments,and his lamps with the oil for the light:
35:15Likewise the Altar of perfume and his bars,and the anointing oil,and the sweet incense,and the veil of the door at the entering in of the Tabernacle,
35:16The Altar of burnt offering with his brass grate, his bars and all his instruments, the Laver and his foot,
35:17The hangings of the court, his pillars and his sockets,and the veil of the gate of the court,
35:18The pins of the Tabernacle,and the pins of the court with their cords,
35:19The ministering garments to minister in the holy place,and the holy garments for Aaron the Priest,and the garments of his sons,that they may minister in the Priest's office.
35:20Then all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
35:21And every one, whose heart encouraged him,and every one, whose spirit made him willing, came and brought an offering to YHWH,for the work of the Tabernacle of the Congregation,and for all his uses,and for the holy garments.
35:22Both men and women, as many as were free hearted, came and brought clasps and earrings,and rings,and bracelets, all were jewels of gold:and every one that offered an offering of gold to YHWH:
35:23Every man also, which had blue silk,and purple,and scarlet,and fine linen,and goats hair,and rams skins dyed red,and badgers skins, brought them.
35:24All that offered an oblation of silver and of brass, brought the offering to YHWH:and every one,that had acacia wood for any manner work of the ministration, brought it.
35:25And all the women that were wise hearted, did spin with their hands,and brought the spun work, even the blue silk,and the purple, the scarlet,and the fine linen.
35:26Likewise all the women, whose hearts were moved with knowledge, spun goats hair.
35:27And the rulers brought onyx stones,and stones to be set in the Ephod,and in the breast plate:
35:28Also spice,and oil for light,and for the anointing oil,and for the sweet perfume.
35:29Every man and woman of the children of Israel, whose hearts moved them willingly to bring for all the work which YHWH had commanded them to make by the hand of Moses, brought a free offering to YHWH.
35:30Then Moses said to the children of Israel, Behold, YHWH has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah,
35:31And has filled him with an excellent spirit of wisdom, of understanding,and of knowledge,and in all manner work,
35:32To find out curious works, to work in gold,and in silver,and in brass,
35:33And in graving stones to set them,and in carving of wood, even to make any manner of fine work.
35:34And he has put in his heart that he may teach other:both he,and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan:
35:35Them has he filled with wisdom of heart to work all manner of cunning and embroidered,and needle work:in blue silk,and in purple, in scarlet,and in fine linen and weaving, even to do all manner of work and subtle inventions.
Chapter 36
36:1Then worked All,and Aholiab,and all skilled men, to whom YHWH gave wisdom,and understanding, to know how to work all manner work for the service of the Sanctuary, according to all that YHWH had commanded.
36:2For Moses had called Bezalel,and Aholiab,and all the wise hearted men, in whose hearts YHWH had given wisdom, even as many as their hearts encouraged to come to that work to work it.
36:3And 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:also they brought still to him free gifts every morning.
36:4So all the wise men,that worked all the holy work, came every man from his work which they worked,
36:5And spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring too much,and more than enough for the use of the work, which YHWH has commanded to be made.
36:6Then Moses gave a commandment,and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the host, saying, Let neither man nor woman prepare any more work for the oblation of the Sanctuary. So the people were stayed from offering.
36:7For the stuff they had, was sufficient for all the work to make it,and too much.
36:8All the wise-hearted men therefore among the workmen, made for the Tabernacle ten curtains of fine twined linen, and of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet: Cherubim of embroidered work made they upon them.
36:9The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits,and the breadth of one curtain four cubits:and the curtains were all of one size.
36:10And he coupled five curtains together,and other five coupled he together.
36:11And he made strings of blue silk by the edge of one curtain, in the selvedge of the coupling:likewise he made on the side of the other curtain in the selvedge in the second coupling.
36:12Fifty strings made he in the one curtain,and fifty strings made he in the edge of the other curtain, which was in the second coupling:the strings were set one against another.
36:13After, he made fifty clasps of gold,and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps:so was it one Tabernacle.
36:14Also he made curtains of goats hair for the covering upon the Tabernacle:he made them to the number of eleven curtains.
36:15The length of one curtain had thirty cubits,and the breadth of one curtain four cubits:the eleven curtains were of one size.
36:16And he coupled five curtains by themselves,and six curtains by themselves:
36:17Also he made fifty strings upon the edge of one curtain in the selvedge in the coupling,and fifty strings made he upon the edge of the other curtain in the second coupling.
36:18He also made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent that it might be one.
36:19And he made a covering for the tent of rams skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers skins above.
36:20Likewise he made the boards for the Tabernacle, of acacia wood to stand up.
36:21The length of a board was ten cubits,and the breadth of one board was a cubit,and a half.
36:22One board had two tenons, set in order as the feet of a ladder, one against another:thus made he for all the boards of the Tabernacle.
36:23So he made twenty boards for the South side of the Tabernacle, even full South.
36:24And forty sockets of silver made he under the twenty boards, two sockets under one board for his two tenons,and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.
36:25Also for the other side of the Tabernacle toward the North, he made twenty boards,
36:26And their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under one board,and two sockets under another board.
36:27Likewise toward the Westside of the Tabernacle he made six boards.
36:28And two boards made he in the corners of the Tabernacle,for either side,
36:29And they were joined beneath,and likewise were made sure above with a ring:thus he did to both in both corners.
36:30So there were eight boards and their sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
36:31After, he made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards in the one side of the Tabernacle,
36:32And five bars for the boards in the other side of the Tabernacle,and five bars for the boards of the Tabernacle on the side toward the West.
36:33And he made the midst bar to shoot through the boards, from the one end to the other.
36:34He overlaid also the boards with gold,and made their rings of gold for places for the bars,and covered the bars with gold.
36:35Moreover he made a veil of blue silk,and purple,and of scarlet,and of fine twined linen:with Cherubim of embroidered work made he it:
36:36And made thereto four pillars of acacia,and overlaid them with gold:whose hooks were also of gold,and he cast for them four sockets of silver.
36:37And he made a hanging for the Tabernacle door, of blue silk,and purple,and scarlet,and fine twined linen,and needle work,
36:38And the five pillars of it with their hooks,and overlaid their capitals and their filets with gold,but their five sockets were of brass.
Chapter 37
37:1After this, All made the Ark of acacia wood, two cubits and a half long and a cubit and a half broad,and a cubit and a half high:
37:2And overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about,
37:3And cast for it four rings of gold for the four corners of it: that is, two rings for the one side of it, and two rings for the other side of it.
37:4Also he made bars of acacia wood,and covered them with gold,
37:5And put the bars in the rings by the sides of the Ark, to bear the Ark.
37:6And he made the Mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and one cubit and a half the breadth of it.
37:7And he made two Cherubim of gold, upon the two ends of the Mercy seat:even of work beaten with the hammer made he them.
37:8One Cherub on the one end, and another Cherub on the other end: of the Mercy seat made he the Cherubim, at the two ends of it.
37:9And the Cherubim spread out their wings on high,and covered the Merciseat with their wings,and their faces were one toward another:toward the Merciseat were the faces of the Cherubim.
37:10Also he made the Table of acacia wood: two cubits was the length of it, and a cubit the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.
37:11And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereto a crown of gold round about.
37:12Also he made thereto a border of a hand breadth round about,and made upon the border a crown of gold round about.
37:13And he cast for it four rings of gold,and put the rings in the four corners that were in the four feet of it.
37:14Against the border were the rings, as places for the bars to bear the Table.
37:15And he made the bars of acacia wood,and covered them with gold to bear the Table.
37:16Also he made the instruments for the Table of pure gold: dishes for it, and incense cups for it, and goblets for it, and coverings for it, with which it should be covered.
37:17Likewise he made the Candlestick of pure gold:of work beaten out with the hammer made he the Candlestick:and his shaft,and his branch, his bowls, his knobs,and his flowers were of one piece.
37:18And six branches came out of the sides of it: three branches of the Candlestick out of the one side of it, and three branches of the Candlestick out of the other side of it.
37:19In one branch three bowls made like almonds, a knob and a flower:and in another branch three bowls made like almonds, a knob and a flower:and so throughout the six branches that proceeded out of the Candlestick.
37:20And upon the Candlestick were four bowls after the fashion of almonds, the knobs of it and the flowers of it:
37:21That is, under every two branches a knob made of it, and a knob under the second branch there, and a knob under the third branch there, according to the six branches coming out of it.
37:22Their knobs and their branches were of the same:it was all one beaten work of pure gold.
37:23And he made for it seven lamps with the snuffers, and snuff dishes of it of pure gold.
37:24Of a talent of pure gold made he it with all the instruments of it.
37:25Furthermore he made the perfume altar of acacia wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit (it was square) and two cubits high, and the horns of it were of the same.
37:26And he covered it with pure gold, both the top and the sides of it round about, and the horns of it, and made to it a crown of gold round about.
37:27And he made two rings of gold for it, under the crown of it in the two corners of the two sides of it, to put bars in for to bear it with it.
37:28Also he made the bars of acacia wood,and overlaid them with gold.
37:29And he made the holy anointing oil,and the sweet pure incense after the apothecaries art.
Chapter 38
38:1Also he made the altar of the burnt offering of acacia wood: five cubits was the length of it, and five cubits the breadth of it: it was square and three cubits high.
38:2And he made to it horns in the four corners of it: the horns of it were of the same, and he overlaid it with brass.
38:3Also he made all the instruments of the altar: the ashpans, and the brooms, and the basins, the forks, and the censers: all the instruments of it made he of brass.
38:4Moreover he made a brass grate worked like a net to the Altar, under the compass of it beneath in the midst of it,
38:5And cast four rings of brass for the four ends of the grate to put bars in.
38:6And he made the bars of acacia wood,and covered them with brass.
38:7The which bars he put into the rings on the sides of the altar to bear it with,and made it hollow within the boards.
38:8Also he made the Laver of brass,and the foot of it of brass from the mirrors of the women that assembled at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
38:9Finally he made the court on the South side full South:the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, having a hundred cubits.
38:10Their pillars were twenty,and their brass sockets twenty:the hooks of the pillars,and their filets were of silver.
38:11And on the North side the hangings were a hundred cubits:their pillars twenty,and their sockets of brass twenty, the hooks of the pillars and their filets of silver.
38:12On the Westside also were hangings of fifty cubits, their ten pillars with their ten sockets:the hooks of the pillars and their filets of silver.
38:13And toward the East side, full East were hangings of fifty cubits.
38:14The hangings of the one side were fifteen cubits, their three pillars,and their three sockets:
38:15And of the other side of the court gate on both sides were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets.
38:16All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen:
38:17But the sockets of the pillars were of brass:the hooks of the pillars and their filets of silver,and the covering of their capitals of silver:and all the pillars of the court were banded about with silver.
38:18He also made the hanging of the gate of the court of needle work, blue silk,and purple,and scarlet,and fine twined linen even twenty cubits long,and five cubits in height and breadth, like the hangings of the court.
38:19And their pillars were four with their four sockets of brass:their hooks of silver,and the covering of their capitals,and their filets of silver.
38:20But all the pins of the Tabernacle and of the court round about were of brass.
38:21These are the parts of the Tabernacle, I mean, of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, which was appointed by the commandment of Moses for the office of the Levites by the hand of Ithamar son to Aaron the Priest.
38:22So Bezalel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah, made all that YHWH commanded Moses.
38:23And with him Aholiab son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, a cunning workman and an embroiderer and a worker of needle work in blue silk,and in purple,and in scarlet,and in fine linen.
38:24All the gold that was occupied in all the work worked for the holy place (which was the gold of the offering) was nine and twenty talents,and seven hundred and thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the Sanctuary.
38:25But the silver of them that were numbered in the Congregation, was a hundred talents,and a thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels, after the shekel of the Sanctuary.
38:26A portion for a man,that is, half a shekel after the shekel of the Sanctuary,for all them that were numbered from twenty year old and above, among six hundred thousand,and three thousand,and five hundred and fifty men.
38:27Moreover there were a hundred talents of silver, to cast the sockets of the Sanctuary,and the sockets of the veil:a hundred sockets of a hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
38:28But he made the hooks for the pillars of a thousand seven hundred and seventy and five shekels,and overlaid their capitals,and made filets about them.
38:29Also the brass of the offering was seventy talents,and two thousand,and four hundred shekels.
38:30Of which he made the sockets to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the brass altar, and the brass grate which was for it, with all the instruments of the Altar,
38:31And the sockets of the court round about,and the sockets for the court gate,and all the pins of the Tabernacle,and all the pins of the court round about.
Chapter 39
39:1Moreover they made garments of ministration to minister in the Sanctuary of blue silk,and purple,and scarlet:they also made the holy garments for Aaron, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
39:2So he made the Ephod of gold, blue silk,and purple,and scarlet,and fine twined linen.
39:3And they did beat the gold into thin plates,and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue silk and in the purple,and in the scarlet,and in the fine linen, with embroidered work.
39:4For the which they made shoulders to couple together:for it was closed by the two edges of it.
39:5And the embroidered guard of his Ephod that was upon him, was of the same stuff,and of like work:even of gold, of blue silk,and purple,and scarlet,and fine twined linen, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
39:6And they worked two Onyx stones closed in settings of gold,and graved, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel,
39:7And put them on the shoulders of the Ephod, as stones for a remembrance of the children of Israel, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
39:8Also he made the breastplate of embroidered work like the work of the Ephod:namely, of gold, blue silk,and purple,and scarlet,and fine twined linen.
39:9They made the breast plate double,and it was square, a hand breadth long,and a hand breadth broad:it was also double.
39:10And they filled it with four rows of stones. The order was thus, a Ruby, a Topaz,and a Carbuncle in the first row:
39:11And in the second row, an Emerald, a Sapphire,and a Diamond:
39:12Also in the third row, a Turquoise, an Agate,and an Hematite:
39:13Likewise in the fourth row, a Chrysolite, an Onyx,and a Jasper:closed and set in settings of gold.
39:14So the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, even twelve after their names, graven like signets every one after his name according to the twelve tribes.
39:15After, they made upon the breast plate chains at the ends, of braided work and pure gold.
39:16They also made two bosses of gold,and two gold rings,and put the two rings in the two corners of the breast plate.
39:17And they put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings, in the corners of the breast plate.
39:18Also the two other ends of the two braided chains they fastened in the two bosses,and put them on the shoulders of the Ephod upon the forefront of it.
39:19Likewise they made two rings of gold,and put them in the two other corners of the breast plate upon the edge of it, which was on the inside of the Ephod.
39:20They also made two other golden rings,and put them on the two sides of the Ephod, beneath on the foreside of it,and over against his coupling above the embroidered guard of the Ephod.
39:21Then they fastened the breast plate by his rings to the rings of the Ephod, with a lace of blue silk,that it might be fast upon the embroidered guard of the Ephod,and that the breast plate should not be loosed from the Ephod, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
39:22Moreover, he made the robe of the Ephod of woven work, altogether of blue silk.
39:23And the hole of the robe was in the midst of it, as the collar of a coat of mail, with an edge about the collar,that it should not tear.
39:24And they made upon the skirts of the robe pomegranates, of blue silk,and purple,and scarlet,and fine linen twined.
39:25They also made bells of pure gold and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the skirts of the robe round about between the pomegranates.
39:26A bel and a pomegranate, a bel and a pomegranate round about the skirts of the robe to minister in, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
39:27After, they made coats of fine linen, of woven work for Aaron and for his sons.
39:28And the turban of fine linen,and ornate caps of fine linen,and linen undergarments of fine twined linen,
39:29And the sash of fine twined linen,and of blue silk,and purple,and scarlet, even of embroidered work, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
39:30Finally they made the plate for the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it an inscription like to the graving of a signet, HOLINESS TO YHWH.
39:31And they tied to it a lace of blue silk to fasten it on high upon the turban, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
39:32Thus was all the work of the Tabernacle, even of the Tabernacle of the Congregation finished:and the children of Israel did according to all that YHWH had commanded Moses:so dyd they.
39:33Afterward they brought the Tabernacle to Moses, the Tabernacle and all his instruments, his clasps, his boards, his bars,and his pillars,and his sockets,
39:34And the covering of rams skins dyed red,and the coverings of badgers skins,and the covering veil.
39:35The Ark of the Testimony, and the bars of it, and the Mercy seat,
39:36The Table, with all the instruments of it, and the showbread,
39:37The pure Candlestick, the lamps of it, even the lamps set in order, and all the instruments of it, and the oil for light:
39:38Also the golden Altar and the anointing oil,and the sweet incense,and the hanging of the Tabernacle door,
39:39The brass Altar with his grate of brass, his bars and all his instruments, the Laver and his foot.
39:40The curtains of the court with his pillars,and his sockets,and the hanging to the court gate,and his cords,and his pins,and all the instruments of the service of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
39:41Finally, the ministering garments to serve in the Sanctuary,and the holy garments for Aaron the Priest,and his sons' garments to minister in the Priest's office.
39:42According to every point that YHWH had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.
39:43And Moses saw all the work,and behold, they had done it as YHWH had commanded:so had they done:and Moses blessed them.
Chapter 40
40:1Then YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
40:2In the first day of the first month in the very first of the same month shall you set up the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation:
40:3And you shall put in it the Ark of the Testimony, and cover the Ark with the veil.
40:4Also you shall bring in the Table,and set it in order as it does require:you shall also bring in the Candlestick,and light his lamps,
40:5And you shall set the incense Altar of gold before the Ark of the Testimony,and put the hanging at the door of the Tabernacle.
40:6Moreover, you shall set the burnt offering Altar before the door of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
40:7And you shall set the Laver between the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and put water in it.
40:8Then you shall appoint the court round about,and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
40:9After, you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the Tabernacle, and all that is in it, and hallow it with all the instruments of it, that it may be holy.
40:10And you shall anoint the Altar of the burnt offering,and all his instruments,and shall sanctify the Altar,that it may be an altar most holy.
40:11Also you shall anoint the Laver,and his foot,and shall sanctify it.
40:12Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation,and wash them with water.
40:13And you shall put upon Aaron the holy garments,and shall anoint him,and sanctify him,that he may minister to me in the Priest's office.
40:14You shall also bring his sons,and clothe them with garments,
40:15And shall anoint them as you did anoint their father,that they may minister to me in the Priests office:for their anointing shall be a sign,that the Priesthood shall be everlasting to them throughout their generations.
40:16So Moses did according to all that YHWH had commanded him:so did he.
40:17Thus was the Tabernacle reared up the first day of the first month in the second year.
40:18Then Moses reared up the Tabernacle and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards of it, and put in the bars of it, and reared up his pillars.
40:19And he spread the covering over the Tabernacle,and put the covering of that covering on high above it, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
40:20And he took and put the Testimony in the Ark,and put the bars in the rings of the Ark,and set the Mercy seat on high upon the Ark.
40:21He brought also the Ark into the Tabernacle,and hanged up the covering veil,and covered the Ark of the Testimony, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
40:22Furthermore he put the Table in the Tabernacle of the Congregation in the North side of the Tabernacle, without the veil,
40:23And set the bread in order before YHWH, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
40:24Also he put the Candlestick in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, over against the Table toward the South side of the Tabernacle.
40:25And he lighted the lamps before YHWH, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
40:26Moreover he set the golden Altar in the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the veil,
40:27And burnt sweet incense on it, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
40:28Also he hanged up the veil at the door of the Tabernacle.
40:29After, he set the burnt offering Altar without the door of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and offered the burnt offering and the sacrifice on it, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
40:30Likewise he set the Laver between the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and poured water in it to wash with.
40:31So Moses and Aaron,and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.
40:32When they went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation,and when they approached to the Altar, they washed, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
40:33Finally, he reared up the court round about the Tabernacle and the Altar,and hanged up the veil at the court gate:so Moses finished the work.
40:34Then the cloud covered the Tabernacle of the Congregation,and the glory of YHWH filled the Tabernacle.
40:35So Moses could not enter into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, because the cloud abode on it, and the glory of YHWH filled the Tabernacle.
40:36Now when the cloud ascended up from the Tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward in all their journeys.
40:37But if the cloud ascended not, then they journeyed not till the day that it ascended.
40:38For the cloud of YHWH was upon the Tabernacle by day,and fire was in it by night in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
