7. Chapter 7 EXODUS

Egypt.

Page 31 Exodus

The Second Book of Moses, Called Exodus

{1:1} Now these [are] the names of the children of Israel,

which came into Egypt; every man and his household came

with Jacob. {1:2} Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, {1:3}

Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, {1:4} Dan, and Naphtali,

Gad, and Asher. {1:5} And all the souls that came out of the

loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt

[already. ]{1:6} And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and

all that generation.

{1:7} And the children of Israel were fruitful, and

increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding

mighty; and the land was filled with them. {1:8} Now there

arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.

{1:9} And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the

children of Israel [are] more and mightier than we: {1:10}

Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply,

and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war,

they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and

[so] get them up out of the land. {1:11} Therefore they did

set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens.

And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and

Raamses. {1:12} But the more they afflicted them, the more

they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of

the children of Israel. {1:13} And the Egyptians made the

children of Israel to serve with rigour: {1:14} And they

made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in

brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their

service, wherein they made them serve, [was] with rigour.

{1:15} And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew

midwives, of which the name of the one [was] Shiphrah,

and the name of the other Puah: {1:16} And he said, When

ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see

[them] upon the stools; if it [be] a son, then ye shall kill

him: but if it [be] a daughter, then she shall live. {1:17} But

the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt

commanded them, but saved the men children alive. {1:18}

And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said

unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the

men children alive? {1:19} And the midwives said unto

Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women [are] not as the

Egyptian women; for they [are] lively, and are delivered ere

the midwives come in unto them. {1:20} Therefore God

dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and

waxed very mighty. {1:21} And it came to pass, because

the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. {1:22}

And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that

is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye

shall save alive.

{2:1} And there went a man of the house of Levi, and

took [to wife] a daughter of Levi. {2:2} And the woman

conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he

[was a] goodly [child,] she hid him three months. {2:3} And

when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark

of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and

put the child therein; and she laid [it] in the flags by the

river's brink. {2:4} And his sister stood afar off, to wit what

would be done to him.

{2:5} And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash

[herself] at the river; and her maidens walked along by the

river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she

sent her maid to fetch it. {2:6} And when she had opened

[it,] she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she

had compassion on him, and said, This [is one] of the

Hebrews' children. {2:7} Then said his sister to Pharaoh's

daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew

women, that she may nurse the child for thee? {2:8} And

Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and

called the child's mother. {2:9} And Pharaoh's daughter

said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and

I will give [thee] thy wages. And the woman took the child,

and nursed it. {2:10} And the child grew, and she brought

him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And

she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew

him out of the water.

{2:11} And it came to pass in those days, when Moses

was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked

on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an

Hebrew, one of his brethren. {2:12} And he looked this way

and that way, and when he saw that [there was] no man, he

slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. {2:13} And

when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the

Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the

wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? {2:14} And he

said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest

thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses

feared, and said, Surely this thing is known. {2:15} Now

when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But

Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land

of Midian: and he sat down by a well. {2:16} Now the

priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and

drew [water,] and filled the troughs to water their father's

flock. {2:17} And the shepherds came and drove them

away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered

their flock. {2:18} And when they came to Reuel their

father, he said, How [is it that] ye are come so soon to day?

{2:19} And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the

hand of the shepherds, and also drew [water] enough for us,

and watered the flock. {2:20} And he said unto his

daughters, And where [is] he? why [is] it [that] ye have left

the man? call him, that he may eat bread. {2:21} And

Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave

Moses Zipporah his daughter. {2:22} And she bare [him] a

son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have

been a stranger in a strange land.

{2:23} And it came to pass in process of time, that the

king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by

reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up

unto God by reason of the bondage. {2:24} And God heard

their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with

Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. {2:25} And God

looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect

unto [them.

]{3:1} Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in

law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the

backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God,

[even] to Horeb. {3:2} And the angel of the LORD

appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a

bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire,

and the bush [was] not consumed. {3:3} And Moses said, I

will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is

not burnt. {3:4} And when the LORD saw that he turned

aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the

bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here [am] I.

{3:5} And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes

from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is

holy ground. {3:6} Moreover he said, I [am] the God of thy

father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God

of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look

Exodus Page 32

upon God.

{3:7} And the LORD said, I have surely seen the

affliction of my people which [are] in Egypt, and have

heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know

their sorrows; {3:8} And I am come down to deliver them

out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out

of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land

flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the

Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the

Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. {3:9} Now

therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come

unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the

Egyptians oppress them. {3:10} Come now therefore, and I

will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth

my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

{3:11} And Moses said unto God, Who [am] I, that I

should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the

children of Israel out of Egypt? {3:12} And he said,

Certainly I will be with thee; and this [shall be] a token unto

thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the

people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.

{3:13} And Moses said unto God, Behold, [when] I come

unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The

God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall

say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

{3:14} And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and

he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I

AM hath sent me unto you. {3:15} And God said moreover

unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,

The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the

God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you:

this [is] my name for ever, and this [is] my memorial unto

all generations. {3:16} Go, and gather the elders of Israel

together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your

fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob,

appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and

[seen] that which is done to you in Egypt: {3:17} And I

have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt

unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the

Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the

Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey. {3:18}

And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come,

thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye

shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath

met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days'

journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the

LORD our God.

{3:19} And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let

you go, no, not by a mighty hand. {3:20} And I will stretch

out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I

will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.

{3:21} And I will give this people favour in the sight of the

Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye

shall not go empty: {3:22} But every woman shall borrow

of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house,

jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye

shall put [them] upon your sons, and upon your daughters;

and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.

{4:1} And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they

will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they

will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. {4:2} And

the LORD said unto him, What [is] that in thine hand? And

he said, A rod. {4:3} And he said, Cast it on the ground.

And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and

Moses fled from before it. {4:4} And the LORD said unto

Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he

put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his

hand: {4:5} That they may believe that the LORD God of

their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the

God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.

{4:6} And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now

thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his

bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand [was]

leprous as snow. {4:7} And he said, Put thine hand into thy

bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and

plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again

as his [other] flesh. {4:8} And it shall come to pass, if they

will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first

sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. {4:9}

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these

two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt

take of the water of the river, and pour [it] upon the dry

[land:] and the water which thou takest out of the river shall

become blood upon the dry [land.

]{4:10} And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I

[am] not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast

spoken unto thy servant: but I [am] slow of speech, and of a

slow tongue. {4:11} And the LORD said unto him, Who

hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf,

or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? {4:12}

Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach

thee what thou shalt say. {4:13} And he said, O my Lord,

send, I pray thee, by the hand [of him whom] thou wilt

send. {4:14} And the anger of the LORD was kindled

against Moses, and he said, [Is] not Aaron the Levite thy

brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he

cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will

be glad in his heart. {4:15} And thou shalt speak unto him,

and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth,

and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.

{4:16} And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and

he shall be, [even] he shall be to thee instead of a mouth,

and thou shalt be to him instead of God. {4:17} And thou

shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do

signs.

{4:18} And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father

in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return

unto my brethren which [are] in Egypt, and see whether

they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

{4:19} And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go,

return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy

life. {4:20} And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set

them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and

Moses took the rod of God in his hand. {4:21} And the

LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into

Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh,

which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart,

that he shall not let the people go. {4:22} And thou shalt say

unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel [is] my son,

[even] my firstborn: {4:23} And I say unto thee, Let my son

go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go,

behold, I will slay thy son, [even] thy firstborn.

{4:24} And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the

LORD met him, and sought to kill him. {4:25} Then

Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her

son, and cast [it] at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody

husband [art] thou to me. {4:26} So he let him go: then she

said, A bloody husband [thou art,] because of the

circumcision.

Page 33 Exodus

{4:27} And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the

wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the

mount of God, and kissed him. {4:28} And Moses told

Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all

the signs which he had commanded him.

{4:29} And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together

all the elders of the children of Israel: {4:30} And Aaron

spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto

Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. {4:31}

And the people believed: and when they heard that the

LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had

looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads

and worshipped.

{5:1} And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told

Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people

go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

{5:2} And Pharaoh said, Who [is] the LORD, that I should

obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD,

neither will I let Israel go. {5:3} And they said, The God of

the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three

days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD

our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the

sword. {5:4} And the king of Egypt said unto them,

Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from

their works? get you unto your burdens. {5:5} And Pharaoh

said, Behold, the people of the land now [are] many, and ye

make them rest from their burdens. {5:6} And Pharaoh

commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and

their officers, saying, {5:7} Ye shall no more give the

people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and

gather straw for themselves. {5:8} And the tale of the

bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon

them; ye shall not diminish [ought] thereof: for they [be]

idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go [and] sacrifice to

our God. {5:9} Let there more work be laid upon the men,

that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain

words.

{5:10} And the taskmasters of the people went out, and

their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus

saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw. {5:11} Go ye, get

you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work

shall be diminished. {5:12} So the people were scattered

abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble

instead of straw. {5:13} And the taskmasters hasted [them,]

saying, Fulfil your works, [your] daily tasks, as when there

was straw. {5:14} And the officers of the children of Israel,

which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were

beaten, [and] demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled

your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as

heretofore?

{5:15} Then the officers of the children of Israel came

and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus

with thy servants? {5:16} There is no straw given unto thy

servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy

servants [are] beaten; but the fault [is] in thine own people.

{5:17} But he said, Ye [are] idle, [ye are] idle: therefore ye

say, Let us go [and] do sacrifice to the LORD. {5:18} Go

therefore now, [and] work; for there shall no straw be given

you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks. {5:19} And the

officers of the children of Israel did see [that] they [were] in

evil [case,] after it was said, Ye shall not minish [ought]

from your bricks of your daily task.

{5:20} And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the

way, as they came forth from Pharaoh: {5:21} And they

said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge;

because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes

of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in

their hand to slay us. {5:22} And Moses returned unto the

LORD, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou [so] evil

entreated this people? why [is] it [that] thou hast sent me?

{5:23} For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he

hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy

people at all.

{6:1} Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou

see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall

he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them

out of his land. {6:2} And God spake unto Moses, and said

unto him, I [am] the LORD: {6:3} And I appeared unto

Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by [the name of] God

Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to

them. {6:4} And I have also established my covenant with

them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their

pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. {6:5} And I have

also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the

Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my

covenant. {6:6} Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I

[am] the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the

burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their

bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm,

and with great judgments: {6:7} And I will take you to me

for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know

that I [am] the LORD your God, which bringeth you out

from under the burdens of the Egyptians. {6:8} And I will

bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear

to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give

it you for an heritage: I [am] the LORD.

{6:9} And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but

they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for

cruel bondage. {6:10} And the LORD spake unto Moses,

saying, {6:11} Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt,

that he let the children of Israel go out of his land. {6:12}

And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the

children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then

shall Pharaoh hear me, who [am] of uncircumcised lips?

{6:13} And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron,

and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto

Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of

the land of Egypt.

{6:14} These [be] the heads of their fathers' houses: The

sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu,

Hezron, and Carmi: these [be] the families of Reuben.

{6:15} And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and

Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a

Canaanitish woman: these [are] the families of Simeon.

{6:16} And these [are] the names of the sons of Levi

according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and

Merari: and the years of the life of Levi [were] an hundred

thirty and seven years. {6:17} The sons of Gershon; Libni,

and Shimi, according to their families. {6:18} And the sons

of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and

the years of the life of Kohath [were] an hundred thirty and

three years. {6:19} And the sons of Merari; Mahali and

Mushi: these [are] the families of Levi according to their

generations. {6:20} And Amram took him Jochebed his

father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses:

and the years of the life of Amram [were] an hundred and

thirty and seven years.

{6:21} And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and

Exodus Page 34

Zichri. {6:22} And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and

Elzaphan, and Zithri. {6:23} And Aaron took him Elisheba,

daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she

bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. {6:24}

And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph:

these [are] the families of the Korhites. {6:25} And Eleazar

Aaron's son took him [one] of the daughters of Putiel to

wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these [are] the heads of

the fathers of the Levites according to their families. {6:26}

These [are] that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said,

Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt

according to their armies. {6:27} These [are] they which

spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of

Israel from Egypt: these [are] that Moses and Aaron.

{6:28} And it came to pass on the day [when] the LORD

spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt, {6:29} That the

LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I [am] the LORD: speak

thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.

{6:30} And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I [am] of

uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?

{7:1} And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made

thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy

prophet. {7:2} Thou shalt speak all that I command thee:

and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he

send the children of Israel out of his land. {7:3} And I will

harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my

wonders in the land of Egypt. {7:4} But Pharaoh shall not

hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and

bring forth mine armies, [and] my people the children of

Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. {7:5}

And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I

stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the

children of Israel from among them. {7:6} And Moses and

Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.

{7:7} And Moses [was] fourscore years old, and Aaron

fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto

Pharaoh.

{7:8} And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron,

saying, {7:9} When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying,

Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron,

Take thy rod, and cast [it] before Pharaoh, [and] it shall

become a serpent.

{7:10} And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and

they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast

down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it

became a serpent. {7:11} Then Pharaoh also called the wise

men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they

also did in like manner with their enchantments. {7:12} For

they cast down every man his rod, and they became

serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods. {7:13}

And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not

unto them; as the LORD had said.

{7:14} And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart

[is] hardened, he refuseth to let the people go. {7:15} Get

thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the

water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he

come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou

take in thine hand. {7:16} And thou shalt say unto him, The

LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying,

Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness:

and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear. {7:17} Thus

saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I [am] the

LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that [is] in mine

hand upon the waters which [are] in the river, and they shall

be turned to blood. {7:18} And the fish that [is] in the river

shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall

lothe to drink of the water of the river.

{7:19} And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto

Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the

waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and

upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they

may become blood; and [that] there may be blood

throughout all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood,

and in [vessels of] stone. {7:20} And Moses and Aaron did

so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and

smote the waters that [were] in the river, in the sight of

Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters

that [were] in the river were turned to blood. {7:21} And

the fish that [was] in the river died; and the river stank, and

the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and

there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. {7:22}

And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments:

and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken

unto them; as the LORD had said. {7:23} And Pharaoh

turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart

to this also. {7:24} And all the Egyptians digged round

about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of

the water of the river. {7:25} And seven days were fulfilled,

after that the LORD had smitten the river.

{8:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto

Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my

people go, that they may serve me. {8:2} And if thou refuse

to let [them] go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with

frogs: {8:3} And the river shall bring forth frogs

abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house,

and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the

house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine

ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs: {8:4} And the frogs

shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon

all thy servants.

{8:5} And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron,

Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over

the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up

upon the land of Egypt. {8:6} And Aaron stretched out his

hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and

covered the land of Egypt. {8:7} And the magicians did so

with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land

of Egypt.

{8:8} Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and

said, Intreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs

from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go,

that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD. {8:9} And

Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I

intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to

destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, [that] they may

remain in the river only? {8:10} And he said, To morrow.

And he said, [Be it] according to thy word: that thou mayest

know that [there is] none like unto the LORD our God.

{8:11} And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy

houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they

shall remain in the river only. {8:12} And Moses and Aaron

went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD

because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.

{8:13} And the LORD did according to the word of Moses;

and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and

out of the fields. {8:14} And they gathered them together

upon heaps: and the land stank. {8:15} But when Pharaoh

saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and

hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.

Page 35 Exodus

{8:16} And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron,

Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it

may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt. {8:17}

And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his

rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in

man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice

throughout all the land of Egypt. {8:18} And the magicians

did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they

could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.

{8:19} Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This [is] the

finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he

hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.

{8:20} And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in

the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth

to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let

my people go, that they may serve me. {8:21} Else, if thou

wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms [of

flies] upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy

people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians

shall be full of swarms [of flies,] and also the ground

whereon they [are. ]{8:22} And I will sever in that day the

land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms

[of flies] shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I

[am] the LORD in the midst of the earth. {8:23} And I will

put a division between my people and thy people: to

morrow shall this sign be. {8:24} And the LORD did so;

and there came a grievous swarm [of flies] into the house of

Pharaoh, and [into] his servants' houses, and into all the

land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the

swarm [of flies.

]{8:25} And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and

said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land. {8:26} And

Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the

abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo,

shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before

their eyes, and will they not stone us? {8:27} We will go

three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the

LORD our God, as he shall command us. {8:28} And

Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the

LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go

very far away: intreat for me. {8:29} And Moses said,

Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the LORD that

the swarms [of flies] may depart from Pharaoh, from his

servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not

Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people

go to sacrifice to the LORD. {8:30} And Moses went out

from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD. {8:31} And the

LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed

the swarms [of flies] from Pharaoh, from his servants, and

from his people; there remained not one. {8:32} And

Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would

he let the people go.

{9:1} Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto

Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the

Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. {9:2}

For if thou refuse to let [them] go, and wilt hold them still,

{9:3} Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle

which [is] in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon

the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: [there shall

be] a very grievous murrain. {9:4} And the LORD shall

sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt:

and there shall nothing die of all [that is] the children's of

Israel. {9:5} And the LORD appointed a set time, saying,

To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land. {9:6}

And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the

cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of

Israel died not one. {9:7} And Pharaoh sent, and, behold,

there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And

the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the

people go.

{9:8} And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron,

Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses

sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh. {9:9}

And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and

shall be a boil breaking forth [with] blains upon man, and

upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt. {9:10} And

they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh;

and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a

boil breaking forth [with] blains upon man, and upon beast.

{9:11} And the magicians could not stand before Moses

because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians,

and upon all the Egyptians. {9:12} And the LORD

hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto

them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.

{9:13} And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in

the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him,

Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people

go, that they may serve me. {9:14} For I will at this time

send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants,

and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that [there is]

none like me in all the earth. {9:15} For now I will stretch

out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with

pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth. {9:16}

And in very deed for this [cause] have I raised thee up, for

to shew [in] thee my power; and that my name may be

declared throughout all the earth. {9:17} As yet exaltest

thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them

go? {9:18} Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it

to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt

since the foundation thereof even until now. {9:19} Send

therefore now, [and] gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast

in the field; [for upon] every man and beast which shall be

found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail

shall come down upon them, and they shall die. {9:20} He

that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of

Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the

houses: {9:21} And he that regarded not the word of the

LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.

{9:22} And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth

thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the

land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every

herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt. {9:23} And

Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD

sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the

ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

{9:24} So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail,

very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land

of Egypt since it became a nation. {9:25} And the hail

smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that [was] in the

field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of

the field, and brake every tree of the field. {9:26} Only in

the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel [were,] was

there no hail.

{9:27} And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and

Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the

LORD [is] righteous, and I and my people [are] wicked.

{9:28} Intreat the LORD (for [it is] enough) that there be no

[more] mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go,

and ye shall stay no longer. {9:29} And Moses said unto

him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread

abroad my hands unto the LORD; [and] the thunder shall

Exodus Page 36

cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest

know how that the earth [is] the LORD'S. {9:30} But as for

thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the

LORD God. {9:31} And the flax and the barley was

smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax [was]

bolled. {9:32} But the wheat and the rie were not smitten:

for they [were] not grown up. {9:33} And Moses went out

of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto

the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain

was not poured upon the earth. {9:34} And when Pharaoh

saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased,

he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his

servants. {9:35} And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened,

neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD

had spoken by Moses.

{10:1} And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto

Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his

servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:

{10:2} And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and

of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and

my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know

how that I [am] the LORD. {10:3} And Moses and Aaron

came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the

LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to

humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may

serve me. {10:4} Else, if thou refuse to let my people go,

behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:

{10:5} And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one

cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue

of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from

the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out

of the field: {10:6} And they shall fill thy houses, and the

houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the

Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers

have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto

this day. And he turned himself, and went out from

Pharaoh. {10:7} And Pharaoh's servants said unto him,

How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go,

that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not

yet that Egypt is destroyed? {10:8} And Moses and Aaron

were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them,

Go, serve the LORD your God: [but] who [are] they that

shall go? {10:9} And Moses said, We will go with our

young and with our old, with our sons and with our

daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go;

for we [must hold] a feast unto the LORD. {10:10} And he

said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let

you go, and your little ones: look [to it;] for evil [is] before

you. {10:11} Not so: go now ye [that are] men, and serve

the LORD; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out

from Pharaoh's presence.

{10:12} And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out

thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they

may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of

the land, [even] all that the hail hath left. {10:13} And

Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and

the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day,

and all [that] night; [and] when it was morning, the east

wind brought the locusts. {10:14} And the locusts went up

over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of

Egypt: very grievous [were they;] before them there were

no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.

{10:15} For they covered the face of the whole earth, so

that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of

the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left:

and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the

herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

{10:16} Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in

haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your

God, and against you. {10:17} Now therefore forgive, I

pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your

God, that he may take away from me this death only.

{10:18} And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the

LORD. {10:19} And the LORD turned a mighty strong

west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into

the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts

of Egypt. {10:20} But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart,

so that he would not let the children of Israel go.

{10:21} And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out

thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over

the land of Egypt, even darkness [which] may be felt.

{10:22} And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven;

and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three

days: {10:23} They saw not one another, neither rose any

from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel

had light in their dwellings.

{10:24} And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye,

serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be

stayed: let your little ones also go with you. {10:25} And

Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt

offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.

{10:26} Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an

hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the

LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve

the LORD, until we come thither.

{10:27} But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he

would not let them go. {10:28} And Pharaoh said unto him,

Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no

more; for in [that] day thou seest my face thou shalt die.

{10:29} And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see

thy face again no more.

{11:1} And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring

one plague [more] upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt;

afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let [you]

go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether. {11:2}

Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man

borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her

neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold. {11:3} And

the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the

Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses [was] very great in the

land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the

sight of the people. {11:4} And Moses said, Thus saith the

LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of

Egypt: {11:5} And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt

shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his

throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that [is]

behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts. {11:6} And

there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt,

such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.

{11:7} But against any of the children of Israel shall not a

dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may

know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the

Egyptians and Israel. {11:8} And all these thy servants shall

come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me,

saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and

after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a

great anger. {11:9} And the LORD said unto Moses,

Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may

be multiplied in the land of Egypt. {11:10} And Moses and

Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD

hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the

children of Israel go out of his land.

Page 37 Exodus

{12:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in

the land of Egypt, saying, {12:2} This month [shall be] unto

you the beginning of months: it [shall be] the first month of

the year to you.

{12:3} Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel,

saying, In the tenth [day] of this month they shall take to

them every man a lamb, according to the house of [their]

fathers, a lamb for an house: {12:4} And if the household

be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next

unto his house take [it] according to the number of the

souls; every man according to his eating shall make your

count for the lamb. {12:5} Your lamb shall be without

blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take [it] out from

the sheep, or from the goats: {12:6} And ye shall keep it up

until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole

assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the

evening. {12:7} And they shall take of the blood, and strike

[it] on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the

houses, wherein they shall eat it. {12:8} And they shall eat

the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread;

[and] with bitter [herbs] they shall eat it. {12:9} Eat not of it

raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast [with] fire; his

head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. {12:10}

And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and

that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn

with fire.

{12:11} And thus shall ye eat it; [with] your loins girded,

your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye

shall eat it in haste: it [is] the LORD'S passover. {12:12}

For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will

smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and

beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute

judgment: I [am] the LORD. {12:13} And the blood shall

be to you for a token upon the houses where ye [are:] and

when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague

shall not be upon you to destroy [you,] when I smite the

land of Egypt. {12:14} And this day shall be unto you for a

memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD

throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an

ordinance for ever. {12:15} Seven days shall ye eat

unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away

leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened

bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall

be cut off from Israel. {12:16} And in the first day [there

shall be] an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there

shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work

shall be done in them, save [that] which every man must

eat, that only may be done of you. {12:17} And ye shall

observe [the feast of] unleavened bread; for in this selfsame

day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt:

therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an

ordinance for ever.

{12:18} In the first [month,] on the fourteenth day of the

month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one

and twentieth day of the month at even. {12:19} Seven days

shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for

whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul

shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he

be a stranger, or born in the land. {12:20} Ye shall eat

nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat

unleavened bread.

{12:21} Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and

said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to

your families, and kill the passover. {12:22} And ye shall

take a bunch of hyssop, and dip [it] in the blood that [is] in

the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with

the blood that [is] in the bason; and none of you shall go out

at the door of his house until the morning. {12:23} For the

LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when

he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts,

the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the

destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite [you.

]{12:24} And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to

thee and to thy sons for ever. {12:25} And it shall come to

pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will

give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep

this service. {12:26} And it shall come to pass, when your

children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?

{12:27} That ye shall say, It [is] the sacrifice of the

LORD'S passover, who passed over the houses of the

children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians,

and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head

and worshipped. {12:28} And the children of Israel went

away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and

Aaron, so did they.

{12:29} And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD

smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the

firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn

of the captive that [was] in the dungeon; and all the

firstborn of cattle. {12:30} And Pharaoh rose up in the

night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and

there was a great cry in Egypt; for [there was] not a house

where [there was] not one dead.

{12:31} And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and

said, Rise up, [and] get you forth from among my people,

both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD,

as ye have said. {12:32} Also take your flocks and your

herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.

{12:33} And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people,

that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they

said, We [be] all dead [men. ]{12:34} And the people took

their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs

being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

{12:35} And the children of Israel did according to the

word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels

of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: {12:36} And the

LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians,

so that they lent unto them [such things as they required.]

And they spoiled the Egyptians.

{12:37} And the children of Israel journeyed from

Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot

[that were] men, beside children. {12:38} And a mixed

multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds,

[even] very much cattle. {12:39} And they baked

unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out

of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust

out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared

for themselves any victual.

{12:40} Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who

dwelt in Egypt, [was] four hundred and thirty years.

{12:41} And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred

and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that

all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

{12:42} It [is] a night to be much observed unto the LORD

for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this [is] that

night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of

Israel in their generations.

{12:43} And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This

[is] the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger

Exodus Page 38

eat thereof: {12:44} But every man's servant that is bought

for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he

eat thereof. {12:45} A foreigner and an hired servant shall

not eat thereof. {12:46} In one house shall it be eaten; thou

shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the

house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof. {12:47} All the

congregation of Israel shall keep it. {12:48} And when a

stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover

to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let

him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is

born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat

thereof. {12:49} One law shall be to him that is homeborn,

and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. {12:50}

Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD

commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. {12:51} And it

came to pass the selfsame day, [that] the LORD did bring

the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their

armies.

{13:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {13:2}

Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the

womb among the children of Israel, [both] of man and of

beast: it [is] mine.

{13:3} And Moses said unto the people, Remember this

day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of

bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out

from this [place:] there shall no leavened bread be eaten.

{13:4} This day came ye out in the month Abib.

{13:5} And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee

into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the

Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he

sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk

and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.

{13:6} Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in

the seventh day [shall be] a feast to the LORD. {13:7}

Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall

no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be

leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.

{13:8} And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying,

[This is done] because of that [which] the LORD did unto

me when I came forth out of Egypt. {13:9} And it shall be

for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial

between thine eyes, that the LORD'S law may be in thy

mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee

out of Egypt. {13:10} Thou shalt therefore keep this

ordinance in his season from year to year.

{13:11} And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee

into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to

thy fathers, and shall give it thee, {13:12} That thou shalt

set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and

every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the

males [shall be] the LORD'S. {13:13} And every firstling

of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not

redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the

firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.

{13:14} And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time

to come, saying, What [is] this? that thou shalt say unto

him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from

Egypt, from the house of bondage: {13:15} And it came to

pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD

slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn

of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the

LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the

firstborn of my children I redeem. {13:16} And it shall be

for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine

eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out

of Egypt.

{13:17} And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the

people go, that God led them not [through] the way of the

land of the Philistines, although that [was] near; for God

said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see

war, and they return to Egypt: {13:18} But God led the

people about, [through] the way of the wilderness of the

Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of

the land of Egypt. {13:19} And Moses took the bones of

Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of

Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry

up my bones away hence with you.

{13:20} And they took their journey from Succoth, and

encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness. {13:21}

And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a

cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire,

to give them light; to go by day and night: {13:22} He took

not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire

by night, [from] before the people.

{14:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {14:2}

Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp

before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over

against Baal-zephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.

{14:3} For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They

[are] entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.

{14:4} And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall

follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh,

and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I

[am] the LORD. And they did so.

{14:5} And it was told the king of Egypt that the people

fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned

against the people, and they said, Why have we done this,

that we have let Israel go from serving us? {14:6} And he

made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:

{14:7} And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the

chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.

{14:8} And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king

of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the

children of Israel went out with an high hand. {14:9} But

the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses [and]

chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and

overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth,

before Baal-zephon.

{14:10} And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of

Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians

marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the

children of Israel cried out unto the LORD. {14:11} And

they said unto Moses, Because [there were] no graves in

Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness?

wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out

of Egypt? {14:12} [Is] not this the word that we did tell thee

in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the

Egyptians? For [it had been] better for us to serve the

Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.

{14:13} And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not,

stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will

shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to

day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. {14:14} The

LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

{14:15} And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore

Page 39 Exodus

criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that

they go forward: {14:16} But lift thou up thy rod, and

stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the

children of Israel shall go on dry [ground] through the midst

of the sea. {14:17} And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of

the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me

honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his

chariots, and upon his horsemen. {14:18} And the

Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have

gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and

upon his horsemen.

{14:19} And the angel of God, which went before the

camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the

pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood

behind them: {14:20} And it came between the camp of the

Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and

darkness [to them,] but it gave light by night [to these:] so

that the one came not near the other all the night. {14:21}

And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the

LORD caused the sea to go [back] by a strong east wind all

that night, and made the sea dry [land,] and the waters were

divided. {14:22} And the children of Israel went into the

midst of the sea upon the dry [ground:] and the waters

[were] a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

{14:23} And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after

them to the midst of the sea, [even] all Pharaoh's horses, his

chariots, and his horsemen. {14:24} And it came to pass,

that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of

the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and

troubled the host of the Egyptians, {14:25} And took off

their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that

the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for

the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.

{14:26} And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out

thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again

upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their

horsemen. {14:27} And Moses stretched forth his hand over

the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the

morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the

LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

{14:28} And the waters returned, and covered the chariots,

and the horsemen, [and] all the host of Pharaoh that came

into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one

of them. {14:29} But the children of Israel walked upon dry

[land] in the midst of the sea; and the waters [were] a wall

unto them on their right hand, and on their left. {14:30}

Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the

Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea

shore. {14:31} And Israel saw that great work which the

LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the

LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.

{15:1} Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this

song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the

LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his

rider hath he thrown into the sea. {15:2} The LORD [is] my

strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he [is]

my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's

God, and I will exalt him. {15:3} The LORD [is] a man of

war: the LORD [is] his name. {15:4} Pharaoh's chariots

and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains

also are drowned in the Red sea. {15:5} The depths have

covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone. {15:6}

Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy

right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

{15:7} And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast

overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest

forth thy wrath, [which] consumed them as stubble. {15:8}

And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered

together, the floods stood upright as an heap, [and] the

depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. {15:9} The

enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the

spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my

sword, my hand shall destroy them. {15:10} Thou didst

blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead

in the mighty waters. {15:11} Who [is] like unto thee, O

LORD, among the gods? who [is] like thee, glorious in

holiness, fearful [in] praises, doing wonders? {15:12} Thou

stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

{15:13} Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people [which]

thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided [them] in thy strength

unto thy holy habitation. {15:14} The people shall hear,

[and] be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of

Palestina. {15:15} Then the dukes of Edom shall be

amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold

upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.

{15:16} Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the

greatness of thine arm they shall be [as] still as a stone; till

thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over,

[which] thou hast purchased. {15:17} Thou shalt bring them

in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, [in]

the place, O LORD, [which] thou hast made for thee to

dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, [which] thy hands have

established. {15:18} The LORD shall reign for ever and

ever. {15:19} For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his

chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD

brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the

children of Israel went on dry [land] in the midst of the sea.

{15:20} And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron,

took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after

her with timbrels and with dances. {15:21} And Miriam

answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed

gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the

sea. {15:22} So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and

they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went

three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

{15:23} And when they came to Marah, they could not

drink of the waters of Marah, for they [were] bitter:

therefore the name of it was called Marah. {15:24} And the

people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we

drink? {15:25} And he cried unto the LORD; and the

LORD shewed him a tree, [which] when he had cast into the

waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them

a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,

{15:26} And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the

voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right

in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and

keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon

thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I [am]

the LORD that healeth thee.

{15:27} And they came to Elim, where [were] twelve

wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they

encamped there by the waters.

{16:1} And they took their journey from Elim, and all the

congregation of the children of Israel came unto the

wilderness of Sin, which [is] between Elim and Sinai, on the

fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out

of the land of Egypt. {16:2} And the whole congregation of

the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in

the wilderness: {16:3} And the children of Israel said unto

them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD

Exodus Page 40

in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, [and]

when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us

forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with

hunger.

{16:4} Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will

rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out

and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them,

whether they will walk in my law, or no. {16:5} And it shall

come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare [that]

which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they

gather daily. {16:6} And Moses and Aaron said unto all the

children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the

LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt: {16:7}

And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the

LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the

LORD: and what [are] we, that ye murmur against us?

{16:8} And Moses said, [This shall be,] when the LORD

shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the

morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your

murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what [are]

we? your murmurings [are] not against us, but against the

LORD.

{16:9} And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the

congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the

LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings. {16:10} And it

came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation

of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the

wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in

the cloud.

{16:11} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

{16:12} I have heard the murmurings of the children of

Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh,

and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye

shall know that I [am] the LORD your God. {16:13} And it

came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered

the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the

host. {16:14} And when the dew that lay was gone up,

behold, upon the face of the wilderness [there lay] a small

round thing, [as] small as the hoar frost on the ground.

{16:15} And when the children of Israel saw [it,] they said

one to another, It [is] manna: for they wist not what it [was.]

And Moses said unto them, This [is] the bread which the

LORD hath given you to eat.

{16:16} This [is] the thing which the LORD hath

commanded, Gather of it every man [according to] his

eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of

your persons; take ye every man for [them] which [are] in

his tents. {16:17} And the children of Israel did so, and

gathered, some more, some less. {16:18} And when they

did mete [it] with an omer, he that gathered much had

nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they

gathered every man according to his eating. {16:19} And

Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning. {16:20}

Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some

of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and

stank: and Moses was wroth with them. {16:21} And they

gathered it every morning, every man according to his

eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

{16:22} And it came to pass, [that] on the sixth day they

gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one [man:]

and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

{16:23} And he said unto them, This [is that] which the

LORD hath said, To morrow [is] the rest of the holy sabbath

unto the LORD: bake [that] which ye will bake [to day,] and

seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay

up for you to be kept until the morning. {16:24} And they

laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not

stink, neither was there any worm therein. {16:25} And

Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day [is] a sabbath unto

the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field. {16:26}

Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, [which

is] the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

{16:27} And it came to pass, [that] there went out [some]

of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they

found none. {16:28} And the LORD said unto Moses, How

long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

{16:29} See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath,

therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two

days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of

his place on the seventh day. {16:30} So the people rested

on the seventh day. {16:31} And the house of Israel called

the name thereof Manna: and it [was] like coriander seed,

white; and the taste of it [was] like wafers [made] with

honey.

{16:32} And Moses said, This [is] the thing which the

LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your

generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have

fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from

the land of Egypt. {16:33} And Moses said unto Aaron,

Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it

up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.

{16:34} As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it

up before the Testimony, to be kept. {16:35} And the

children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came

to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto

the borders of the land of Canaan. {16:36} Now an omer

[is] the tenth [part] of an ephah.

{17:1} And all the congregation of the children of Israel

journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys,

according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched

in Rephidim: and [there was] no water for the people to

drink. {17:2} Wherefore the people did chide with Moses,

and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said

unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt

the LORD? {17:3} And the people thirsted there for water;

and the people murmured against Moses, and said,

Wherefore [is] this [that] thou hast brought us up out of

Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?

{17:4} And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall

I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.

{17:5} And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the

people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy

rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand,

and go. {17:6} Behold, I will stand before thee there upon

the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there

shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And

Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. {17:7} And

he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah,

because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because

they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or

not?

{17:8} Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in

Rephidim. {17:9} And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us

out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will

stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine

hand. {17:10} So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and

fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to

the top of the hill. {17:11} And it came to pass, when

Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he

Page 41 Exodus

let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. {17:12} But Moses'

hands [were] heavy; and they took a stone, and put [it]

under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up

his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other

side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the

sun. {17:13} And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his

people with the edge of the sword. {17:14} And the LORD

said unto Moses, Write this [for] a memorial in a book, and

rehearse [it] in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out

the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. {17:15}

And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:

{17:16} For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn

[that] the LORD [will have] war with Amalek from

generation to generation.

{18:1} When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father

in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for

Israel his people, [and] that the LORD had brought Israel

out of Egypt; {18:2} Then Jethro, Moses' father in law,

took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,

{18:3} And her two sons; of which the name of the one

[was] Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a

strange land: {18:4} And the name of the other [was]

Eliezer; for the God of my father, [said he, was] mine help,

and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh: {18:5} And

Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his

wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at

the mount of God: {18:6} And he said unto Moses, I thy

father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and

her two sons with her.

{18:7} And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and

did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of

[their] welfare; and they came into the tent. {18:8} And

Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done

unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, [and]

all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and

[how] the LORD delivered them. {18:9} And Jethro

rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to

Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the

Egyptians. {18:10} And Jethro said, Blessed [be] the

LORD, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the

Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath

delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

{18:11} Now I know that the LORD [is] greater than all

gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly [he was]

above them. {18:12} And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took

a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came,

and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father

in law before God.

{18:13} And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses

sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from

the morning unto the evening. {18:14} And when Moses'

father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What

[is] this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou

thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning

unto even? {18:15} And Moses said unto his father in law,

Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:

{18:16} When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I

judge between one and another, and I do make [them] know

the statutes of God, and his laws. {18:17} And Moses'

father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest [is]

not good. {18:18} Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou,

and this people that [is] with thee: for this thing [is] too

heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.

{18:19} Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee

counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people

to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:

{18:20} And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws,

and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and

the work that they must do. {18:21} Moreover thou shalt

provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God,

men of truth, hating covetousness; and place [such] over

them, [to be] rulers of thousands, [and] rulers of hundreds,

rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: {18:22} And let them

judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, [that] every

great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small

matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and

they shall bear [the burden] with thee. {18:23} If thou shalt

do this thing, and God command thee [so,] then thou shalt

be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their

place in peace. {18:24} So Moses hearkened to the voice of

his father in law, and did all that he had said. {18:25} And

Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them

heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of

hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. {18:26} And

they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they

brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged

themselves.

{18:27} And Moses let his father in law depart; and he

went his way into his own land.

{19:1} In the third month, when the children of Israel

were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came

they [into] the wilderness of Sinai. {19:2} For they were

departed from Rephidim, and were come [to] the desert of

Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel

camped before the mount. {19:3} And Moses went up unto

God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain,

saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell

the children of Israel; {19:4} Ye have seen what I did unto

the Egyptians, and [how] I bare you on eagles' wings, and

brought you unto myself. {19:5} Now therefore, if ye will

obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall

be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the

earth [is] mine: {19:6} And ye shall be unto me a kingdom

of priests, and an holy nation. These [are] the words which

thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

{19:7} And Moses came and called for the elders of the

people, and laid before their faces all these words which the

LORD commanded him. {19:8} And all the people

answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken

we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people

unto the LORD. {19:9} And the LORD said unto Moses,

Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may

hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And

Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.

{19:10} And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the

people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let

them wash their clothes, {19:11} And be ready against the

third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the

sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. {19:12} And thou

shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take

heed to yourselves, [that ye] go [not] up into the mount, or

touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall

be surely put to death: {19:13} There shall not an hand

touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through;

whether [it be] beast or man, it shall not live: when the

trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.

{19:14} And Moses went down from the mount unto the

people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their

clothes. {19:15} And he said unto the people, Be ready

against the third day: come not at [your] wives.

Exodus Page 42

{19:16} And it came to pass on the third day in the

morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a

thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet

exceeding loud; so that all the people that [was] in the camp

trembled. {19:17} And Moses brought forth the people out

of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether

part of the mount. {19:18} And mount Sinai was altogether

on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire:

and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace,

and the whole mount quaked greatly. {19:19} And when the

voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and

louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.

{19:20} And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on

the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses [up] to

the top of the mount; and Moses went up. {19:21} And the

LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest

they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of

them perish. {19:22} And let the priests also, which come

near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD

break forth upon them. {19:23} And Moses said unto the

LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou

chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and

sanctify it. {19:24} And the LORD said unto him, Away,

get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron

with thee: but let not the priests and the people break

through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth

upon them. {19:25} So Moses went down unto the people,

and spake unto them.

{20:1} And God spake all these words, saying, {20:2} I

[am] the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of

the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. {20:3} Thou

shalt have no other gods before me. {20:4} Thou shalt not

make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any

thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth

beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth: {20:5}

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:

for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the

iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and

fourth [generation] of them that hate me; {20:6} And

shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and

keep my commandments. {20:7} Thou shalt not take the

name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not

hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. {20:8}

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. {20:9} Six days

shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: {20:10} But the

seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it]

thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy

daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy

cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates: {20:11}

For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea,

and all that in them [is,] and rested the seventh day:

wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed

it.

{20:12} Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days

may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth

thee. {20:13} Thou shalt not kill. {20:14} Thou shalt not

commit adultery. {20:15} Thou shalt not steal. {20:16}

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

{20:17} Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou

shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant,

nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing

that [is] thy neighbour's.

{20:18} And all the people saw the thunderings, and the

lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain

smoking: and when the people saw [it,] they removed, and

stood afar off. {20:19} And they said unto Moses, Speak

thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with

us, lest we die. {20:20} And Moses said unto the people,

Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear

may be before your faces, that ye sin not. {20:21} And the

people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick

darkness where God [was.

]{20:22} And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt

say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have

talked with you from heaven. {20:23} Ye shall not make

with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods

of gold.

{20:24} An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and

shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace

offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I

record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

{20:25} And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou

shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool

upon it, thou hast polluted it. {20:26} Neither shalt thou go

up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not

discovered thereon.

{21:1} Now these [are] the judgments which thou shalt

set before them. {21:2} If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six

years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free

for nothing. {21:3} If he came in by himself, he shall go out

by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out

with him. {21:4} If his master have given him a wife, and

she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her

children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by

himself. {21:5} And if the servant shall plainly say, I love

my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:

{21:6} Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he

shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and

his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he

shall serve him for ever.

{21:7} And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant,

she shall not go out as the menservants do. {21:8} If she

please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself,

then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange

nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt

deceitfully with her. {21:9} And if he have betrothed her

unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of

daughters. {21:10} If he take him another [wife;] her food,

her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

{21:11} And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she

go out free without money.

{21:12} He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be

surely put to death. {21:13} And if a man lie not in wait, but

God deliver [him] into his hand; then I will appoint thee a

place whither he shall flee. {21:14} But if a man come

presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile;

thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.

{21:15} And he that smiteth his father, or his mother,

shall be surely put to death.

{21:16} And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if

he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

{21:17} And he that curseth his father, or his mother,

shall surely be put to death.

{21:18} And if men strive together, and one smite another

with a stone, or with [his] fist, and he die not, but keepeth

[his] bed: {21:19} If he rise again, and walk abroad upon

Page 43 Exodus

his staff, then shall he that smote [him] be quit: only he

shall pay [for] the loss of his time, and shall cause [him] to

be thoroughly healed.

{21:20} And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with

a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely

punished. {21:21} Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or

two, he shall not be punished: for he [is] his money.

{21:22} If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so

that her fruit depart [from her,] and yet no mischief follow:

he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's

husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges

[determine. ]{21:23} And if [any] mischief follow, then

thou shalt give life for life, {21:24} Eye for eye, tooth for

tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, {21:25} Burning for

burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

{21:26} And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the

eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his

eye's sake. {21:27} And if he smite out his manservant's

tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for

his tooth's sake.

{21:28} If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die:

then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be

eaten; but the owner of the ox [shall be] quit. {21:29} But if

the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it

hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in,

but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be

stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death. {21:30} If

there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for

the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him. {21:31}

Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter,

according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.

{21:32} If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant;

he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and

the ox shall be stoned.

{21:33} And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall

dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;

{21:34} The owner of the pit shall make [it] good, [and]

give money unto the owner of them; and the dead [beast]

shall be his.

{21:35} And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die;

then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it;

and the dead [ox] also they shall divide. {21:36} Or if it be

known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his

owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox;

and the dead shall be his own.

{22:1} If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or

sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep

for a sheep.

{22:2} If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that

he die, [there shall] no blood [be shed] for him. {22:3} If

the sun be risen upon him, [there shall be] blood [shed] for

him; [for] he should make full restitution; if he have

nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. {22:4} If the

theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox,

or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.

{22:5} If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten,

and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's

field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own

vineyard, shall he make restitution.

{22:6} If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the

stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be

consumed [therewith;] he that kindled the fire shall surely

make restitution.

{22:7} If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or

stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the

thief be found, let him pay double. {22:8} If the thief be not

found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto

the judges, [to see] whether he have put his hand unto his

neighbour's goods. {22:9} For all manner of trespass,

[whether it be] for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, [or]

for any manner of lost thing, which [another] challengeth to

be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the

judges; [and] whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay

double unto his neighbour. {22:10} If a man deliver unto

his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to

keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing

[it: ]{22:11} [Then] shall an oath of the LORD be between

them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his

neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept

[thereof,] and he shall not make [it] good. {22:12} And if it

be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner

thereof. {22:13} If it be torn in pieces, [then] let him bring

it [for] witness, [and] he shall not make good that which

was torn.

{22:14} And if a man borrow [ought] of his neighbour,

and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof [being] not with it,

he shall surely make [it] good. {22:15} [But] if the owner

thereof [be] with it, he shall not make [it] good: if it [be] an

hired [thing,] it came for his hire.

{22:16} And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed,

and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

{22:17} If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he

shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

{22:18} Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

{22:19} Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put

to death.

{22:20} He that sacrificeth unto [any] god, save unto the

LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

{22:21} Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress

him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

{22:22} Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless

child. {22:23} If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry

at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; {22:24} And my

wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and

your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

{22:25} If thou lend money to [any of] my people [that is]

poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither

shalt thou lay upon him usury. {22:26} If thou at all take

thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto

him by that the sun goeth down: {22:27} For that [is] his

covering only, it [is] his raiment for his skin: wherein shall

he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me,

that I will hear; for I [am] gracious.

{22:28} Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler

of thy people.

{22:29} Thou shalt not delay [to offer] the first of thy ripe

fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou

Exodus Page 44

give unto me. {22:30} Likewise shalt thou do with thine

oxen, [and] with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his

dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.

{22:31} And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall

ye eat [any] flesh [that is] torn of beasts in the field; ye shall

cast it to the dogs.

{23:1} Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine

hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

{23:2} Thou shalt not follow a multitude to [do] evil;

neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to

wrest [judgment:

]{23:3} Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his

cause.

{23:4} If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going

astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. {23:5} If

thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his

burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely

help with him. {23:6} Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of

thy poor in his cause. {23:7} Keep thee far from a false

matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I

will not justify the wicked.

{23:8} And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth

the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

{23:9} Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know

the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land

of Egypt. {23:10} And six years thou shalt sow thy land,

and shalt gather in the fruits thereof: {23:11} But the

seventh [year] thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor

of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the

field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy

vineyard, [and] with thy oliveyard. {23:12} Six days thou

shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest:

that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy

handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed. {23:13} And

in all [things] that I have said unto you be circumspect: and

make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be

heard out of thy mouth.

{23:14} Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the

year. {23:15} Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened

bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I

commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib;

for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear

before me empty:) {23:16} And the feast of harvest, the

firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field:

and the feast of ingathering, [which is] in the end of the

year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

{23:17} Three times in the year all thy males shall appear

before the Lord GOD. {23:18} Thou shalt not offer the

blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the

fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning. {23:19} The

first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the

house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in

his mother's milk.

{23:20} Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee

in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have

prepared. {23:21} Beware of him, and obey his voice,

provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions:

for my name [is] in him. {23:22} But if thou shalt indeed

obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an

enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine

adversaries. {23:23} For mine Angel shall go before thee,

and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and

the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the

Jebusites: and I will cut them off. {23:24} Thou shalt not

bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their

works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite

break down their images. {23:25} And ye shall serve the

LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy

water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

{23:26} There shall nothing cast their young, nor be

barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

{23:27} I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all

the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all

thine enemies turn their backs unto thee. {23:28} And I will

send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite,

the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. {23:29} I

will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the

land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply

against thee. {23:30} By little and little I will drive them

out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the

land. {23:31} And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea

even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto

the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into

your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

{23:32} Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with

their gods. {23:33} They shall not dwell in thy land, lest

they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods,

it will surely be a snare unto thee.

{24:1} And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the

LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of

the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off. {24:2} And

Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not

come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.

{24:3} And Moses came and told the people all the words

of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people

answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the

LORD hath said will we do. {24:4} And Moses wrote all

the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning,

and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars,

according to the twelve tribes of Israel. {24:5} And he sent

young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt

offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the

LORD. {24:6} And Moses took half of the blood, and put

[it] in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the

altar. {24:7} And he took the book of the covenant, and

read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that

the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient. {24:8}

And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled [it] on the people,

and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the

LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.

{24:9} Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and

Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: {24:10} And they

saw the God of Israel: and [there was] under his feet as it

were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the

body of heaven in [his] clearness. {24:11} And upon the

nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also

they saw God, and did eat and drink.

{24:12} And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me

into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of

stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written;

that thou mayest teach them. {24:13} And Moses rose up,

and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount

of God. {24:14} And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here

for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron

Page 45 Exodus

and Hur [are] with you: if any man have any matters to do,

let him come unto them. {24:15} And Moses went up into

the mount, and a cloud covered the mount. {24:16} And the

glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud

covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto

Moses out of the midst of the cloud. {24:17} And the sight

of the glory of the LORD [was] like devouring fire on the

top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.

{24:18} And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and

gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount

forty days and forty nights.

{25:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {25:2}

Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an

offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart

ye shall take my offering. {25:3} And this [is] the offering

which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,

{25:4} And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and

goats [hair, ]{25:5} And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers'

skins, and shittim wood, {25:6} Oil for the light, spices for

anointing oil, and for sweet incense, {25:7} Onyx stones,

and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.

{25:8} And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell

among them. {25:9} According to all that I shew thee,

[after] the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the

instruments thereof, even so shall ye make [it.

]{25:10} And they shall make an ark [of] shittim wood:

two cubits and a half [shall be] the length thereof, and a

cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half

the height thereof. {25:11} And thou shalt overlay it with

pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt

make upon it a crown of gold round about. {25:12} And

thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put [them] in the

four corners thereof; and two rings [shall be] in the one side

of it, and two rings in the other side of it. {25:13} And thou

shalt make staves [of] shittim wood, and overlay them with

gold. {25:14} And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by

the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.

{25:15} The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they

shall not be taken from it. {25:16} And thou shalt put into

the ark the testimony which I shall give thee. {25:17} And

thou shalt make a mercy seat [of] pure gold: two cubits and

a half [shall be] the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the

breadth thereof. {25:18} And thou shalt make two

cherubims [of] gold, [of] beaten work shalt thou make them,

in the two ends of the mercy seat. {25:19} And make one

cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other

end: [even] of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims

on the two ends thereof. {25:20} And the cherubim shall

stretch forth [their] wings on high, covering the mercy seat

with their wings, and their faces [shall look] one to another;

toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.

{25:21} And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the

ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall

give thee. {25:22} And there I will meet with thee, and I

will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from

between the two cherubims which [are] upon the ark of the

testimony, of all [things] which I will give thee in

commandment unto the children of Israel.

{25:23} Thou shalt also make a table [of] shittim wood:

two cubits [shall be] the length thereof, and a cubit the

breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

{25:24} And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make

thereto a crown of gold round about. {25:25} And thou

shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about,

and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof

round about. {25:26} And thou shalt make for it four rings

of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that [are] on

the four feet thereof. {25:27} Over against the border shall

the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.

{25:28} And thou shalt make the staves [of] shittim wood,

and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne

with them. {25:29} And thou shalt make the dishes thereof,

and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof,

to cover withal: [of] pure gold shalt thou make them.

{25:30} And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before

me alway.

{25:31} And thou shalt make a candlestick [of] pure gold:

[of] beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft,

and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers,

shall be of the same. {25:32} And six branches shall come

out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of

the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the

other side: {25:33} Three bowls made like unto almonds,

[with] a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls

made like almonds in the other branch, [with] a knop and a

flower: so in the six branches that come out of the

candlestick. {25:34} And in the candlestick [shall be] four

bowls made like unto almonds, [with] their knops and their

flowers. {25:35} And [there shall be] a knop under two

branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the

same, and a knop under two branches of the same,

according to the six branches that proceed out of the

candlestick. {25:36} Their knops and their branches shall be

of the same: all it [shall be] one beaten work [of] pure gold.

{25:37} And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and

they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light

over against it. {25:38} And the tongs thereof, and the

snuffdishes thereof, [shall be of] pure gold. {25:39} [Of] a

talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.

{25:40} And look that thou make [them] after their pattern,

which was shewed thee in the mount.

{26:1} Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle [with]

ten curtains [of] fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and

scarlet: [with] cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make

them. {26:2} The length of one curtain [shall be] eight and

twenty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits:

and every one of the curtains shall have one measure.

{26:3} The five curtains shall be coupled together one to

another; and [other] five curtains [shall be] coupled one to

another. {26:4} And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the

edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling;

and likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of

[another] curtain, in the coupling of the second. {26:5} Fifty

loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops

shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the

coupling of the second; that the loops may take hold one of

another. {26:6} And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold,

and couple the curtains together with the taches: and it shall

be one tabernacle.

{26:7} And thou shalt make curtains [of] goats' [hair] to

be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou

make. {26:8} The length of one curtain [shall be] thirty

cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the

eleven curtains [shall be all] of one measure. {26:9} And

thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six

curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in

the forefront of the tabernacle. {26:10} And thou shalt

make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain [that is]

outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops in the edge of the

curtain which coupleth the second. {26:11} And thou shalt

make fifty taches of brass, and put the taches into the loops,

and couple the tent together, that it may be one. {26:12}

Exodus Page 46

And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent,

the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside

of the tabernacle. {26:13} And a cubit on the one side, and

a cubit on the other side of that which remaineth in the

length of the curtains of the tent, it shall hang over the sides

of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

{26:14} And thou shalt make a covering for the tent [of]

rams' skins dyed red, and a covering above [of] badgers

skins.

{26:15} And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle

[of] shittim wood standing up. {26:16} Ten cubits [shall be]

the length of a board, and a cubit and a half [shall be] the

breadth of one board. {26:17} Two tenons [shall there be]

in one board, set in order one against another: thus shalt

thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle. {26:18} And

thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards

on the south side southward. {26:19} And thou shalt make

forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets

under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under

another board for his two tenons. {26:20} And for the

second side of the tabernacle on the north side [there shall

be] twenty boards: {26:21} And their forty sockets [of]

silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under

another board. {26:22} And for the sides of the tabernacle

westward thou shalt make six boards. {26:23} And two

boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in

the two sides. {26:24} And they shall be coupled together

beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head

of it unto one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall

be for the two corners. {26:25} And they shall be eight

boards, and their sockets [of] silver, sixteen sockets; two

sockets under one board, and two sockets under another

board.

{26:26} And thou shalt make bars [of] shittim wood; five

for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle, {26:27}

And five bars for the boards of the other side of the

tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the

tabernacle, for the two sides westward. {26:28} And the

middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to

end. {26:29} And thou shalt overlay the boards with gold,

and make their rings [of] gold [for] places for the bars: and

thou shalt overlay the bars with gold. {26:30} And thou

shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof

which was shewed thee in the mount.

{26:31} And thou shalt make a vail [of] blue, and purple,

and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with

cherubims shall it be made: {26:32} And thou shalt hang it

upon four pillars of shittim [wood] overlaid with gold: their

hooks [shall be of] gold, upon the four sockets of silver.

{26:33} And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches,

that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of

the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between

the holy [place] and the most holy. {26:34} And thou shalt

put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most

holy [place. ]{26:35} And thou shalt set the table without

the vail, and the candlestick over against the table on the

side of the tabernacle toward the south: and thou shalt put

the table on the north side. {26:36} And thou shalt make an

hanging for the door of the tent, [of] blue, and purple, and

scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.

{26:37} And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars

[of] shittim [wood,] and overlay them with gold, [and] their

hooks [shall be of] gold: and thou shalt cast five sockets of

brass for them.

{27:1} And thou shalt make an altar [of] shittim wood,

five cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar shall be

foursquare: and the height thereof [shall be] three cubits.

{27:2} And thou shalt make the horns of it upon the four

corners thereof: his horns shall be of the same: and thou

shalt overlay it with brass. {27:3} And thou shalt make his

pans to receive his ashes, and his shovels, and his basons,

and his fleshhooks, and his firepans: all the vessels thereof

thou shalt make [of] brass. {27:4} And thou shalt make for

it a grate of network [of] brass; and upon the net shalt thou

make four brasen rings in the four corners thereof. {27:5}

And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath,

that the net may be even to the midst of the altar. {27:6}

And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves [of] shittim

wood, and overlay them with brass. {27:7} And the staves

shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the

two sides of the altar, to bear it. {27:8} Hollow with boards

shalt thou make it: as it was shewed thee in the mount, so

shall they make [it.

]{27:9} And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle:

for the south side southward [there shall be] hangings for

the court [of] fine twined linen of an hundred cubits long for

one side: {27:10} And the twenty pillars thereof and their

twenty sockets [shall be of] brass; the hooks of the pillars

and their fillets [shall be of] silver. {27:11} And likewise

for the north side in length [there shall be] hangings of an

hundred [cubits] long, and his twenty pillars and their

twenty sockets [of] brass; the hooks of the pillars and their

fillets [of] silver.

{27:12} And [for] the breadth of the court on the west

side [shall be] hangings of fifty cubits: their pillars ten, and

their sockets ten. {27:13} And the breadth of the court on

the east side eastward [shall be] fifty cubits. {27:14} The

hangings of one side [of the gate shall be] fifteen cubits:

their pillars three, and their sockets three. {27:15} And on

the other side [shall be] hangings fifteen [cubits:] their

pillars three, and their sockets three.

{27:16} And for the gate of the court [shall be] an

hanging of twenty cubits, [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet,

and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework: [and] their

pillars [shall be] four, and their sockets four. {27:17} All

the pillars round about the court [shall be] filleted with

silver; their hooks [shall be of] silver, and their sockets of

brass.

{27:18} The length of the court [shall be] an hundred

cubits, and the breadth fifty every where, and the height five

cubits [of] fine twined linen, and their sockets [of] brass.

{27:19} All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service

thereof, and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the court,

[shall be of] brass.

{27:20} And thou shalt command the children of Israel,

that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to

cause the lamp to burn always. {27:21} In the tabernacle of

the congregation without the vail, which [is] before the

testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order it from evening to

morning before the LORD: [it shall be] a statute for ever

unto their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.

{28:1} And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his

sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he

may minister unto me in the priest's office, [even] Aaron,

Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

{28:2} And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy

brother for glory and for beauty. {28:3} And thou shalt

Page 47 Exodus

speak unto all [that are] wise hearted, whom I have filled

with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's

garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in

the priest's office. {28:4} And these [are] the garments

which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a

robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they

shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his

sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

{28:5} And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and

scarlet, and fine linen.

{28:6} And they shall make the ephod [of] gold, [of] blue,

and [of] purple, [of] scarlet, and fine twined linen, with

cunning work. {28:7} It shall have the two shoulderpieces

thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and [so] it shall be

joined together. {28:8} And the curious girdle of the ephod,

which [is] upon it, shall be of the same, according to the

work thereof; [even of] gold, [of] blue, and purple, and

scarlet, and fine twined linen. {28:9} And thou shalt take

two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the

children of Israel: {28:10} Six of their names on one stone,

and [the other] six names of the rest on the other stone,

according to their birth. {28:11} With the work of an

engraver in stone, [like] the engravings of a signet, shalt

thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children

of Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.

{28:12} And thou shalt put the two stones upon the

shoulders of the ephod [for] stones of memorial unto the

children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before

the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

{28:13} And thou shalt make ouches [of] gold; {28:14}

And two chains [of] pure gold at the ends; [of] wreathen

work shalt thou make them, and fasten the wreathen chains

to the ouches.

{28:15} And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment

with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt

make it; [of] gold, [of] blue, and [of] purple, and [of]

scarlet, and [of] fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.

{28:16} Foursquare it shall be [being] doubled; a span

[shall be] the length thereof, and a span [shall be] the

breadth thereof. {28:17} And thou shalt set in it settings of

stones, [even] four rows of stones: [the first] row [shall be]

a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: [this shall be] the first

row. {28:18} And the second row [shall be] an emerald, a

sapphire, and a diamond. {28:19} And the third row a

ligure, an agate, and an amethyst. {28:20} And the fourth

row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in

gold in their inclosings. {28:21} And the stones shall be

with the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according

to their names, [like] the engravings of a signet; every one

with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes.

{28:22} And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains

at the ends [of] wreathen work [of] pure gold. {28:23} And

thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and

shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

{28:24} And thou shalt put the two wreathen [chains] of

gold in the two rings [which are] on the ends of the

breastplate. {28:25} And [the other] two ends of the two

wreathen [chains] thou shalt fasten in the two ouches, and

put [them] on the shoulderpieces of the ephod before it.

{28:26} And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou

shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate in the

border thereof, which [is] in the side of the ephod inward.

{28:27} And two [other] rings of gold thou shalt make, and

shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath,

toward the forepart thereof, over against the [other]

coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.

{28:28} And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings

thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that

[it] may be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that

the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod. {28:29} And

Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the

breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in

unto the holy [place,] for a memorial before the LORD

continually.

{28:30} And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment

the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's

heart, when he goeth in before the LORD: and Aaron shall

bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart

before the LORD continually.

{28:31} And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all

[of] blue. {28:32} And there shall be an hole in the top of it,

in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work

round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of an

habergeon, that it be not rent.

{28:33} And [beneath] upon the hem of it thou shalt make

pomegranates [of] blue, and [of] purple, and [of] scarlet,

round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between

them round about: {28:34} A golden bell and a

pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the

hem of the robe round about. {28:35} And it shall be upon

Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he

goeth in unto the holy [place] before the LORD, and when

he cometh out, that he die not.

{28:36} And thou shalt make a plate [of] pure gold, and

grave upon it, [like] the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS

TO THE LORD. {28:37} And thou shalt put it on a blue

lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the

mitre it shall be. {28:38} And it shall be upon Aaron's

forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy

things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their

holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that

they may be accepted before the LORD.

{28:39} And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen,

and thou shalt make the mitre [of] fine linen, and thou shalt

make the girdle [of] needlework.

{28:40} And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats, and

thou shalt make for them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou

make for them, for glory and for beauty. {28:41} And thou

shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and his sons with

him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and

sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's

office. {28:42} And thou shalt make them linen breeches to

cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs

they shall reach: {28:43} And they shall be upon Aaron,

and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of

the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to

minister in the holy [place;] that they bear not iniquity, and

die: [it shall be] a statute for ever unto him and his seed

after him.

{29:1} And this [is] the thing that thou shalt do unto them

to hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office:

Take one young bullock, and two rams without blemish,

{29:2} And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened

tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil:

[of] wheaten flour shalt thou make them. {29:3} And thou

shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket,

Exodus Page 48

with the bullock and the two rams. {29:4} And Aaron and

his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of

the congregation, and shalt wash them with water. {29:5}

And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the

coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the

breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the

ephod: {29:6} And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head,

and put the holy crown upon the mitre. {29:7} Then shalt

thou take the anointing oil, and pour [it] upon his head, and

anoint him. {29:8} And thou shalt bring his sons, and put

coats upon them. {29:9} And thou shalt gird them with

girdles, Aaron and his sons, and put the bonnets on them:

and the priest's office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute:

and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons. {29:10} And

thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the

tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall

put their hands upon the head of the bullock. {29:11} And

thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, [by] the door

of the tabernacle of the congregation. {29:12} And thou

shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put [it] upon the

horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood

beside the bottom of the altar. {29:13} And thou shalt take

all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul [that is]

above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon

them, and burn [them] upon the altar. {29:14} But the flesh

of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn

with fire without the camp: it [is] a sin offering.

{29:15} Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his

sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram. {29:16}

And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood,

and sprinkle [it] round about upon the altar. {29:17} And

thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of

him, and his legs, and put [them] unto his pieces, and unto

his head. {29:18} And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon

the altar: it [is] a burnt offering unto the LORD: it [is] a

sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

{29:19} And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and

his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.

{29:20} Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood,

and put [it] upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon

the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of

their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot,

and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about. {29:21}

And thou shalt take of the blood that [is] upon the altar, and

of the anointing oil, and sprinkle [it] upon Aaron, and upon

his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of

his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his

garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

{29:22} Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the

rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the [caul]

above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that [is]

upon them, and the right shoulder; for it [is] a ram of

consecration: {29:23} And one loaf of bread, and one cake

of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the

unleavened bread that [is] before the LORD: {29:24} And

thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of

his sons; and shalt wave them [for] a wave offering before

the LORD. {29:25} And thou shalt receive them of their

hands, and burn [them] upon the altar for a burnt offering,

for a sweet savour before the LORD: it [is] an offering

made by fire unto the LORD. {29:26} And thou shalt take

the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave it

[for] a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy

part. {29:27} And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave

offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is

waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the

consecration, [even] of [that] which [is] for Aaron, and of

[that] which is for his sons: {29:28} And it shall be Aaron's

and his sons' by a statute for ever from the children of

Israel: for it [is] an heave offering: and it shall be an heave

offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their

peace offerings, [even] their heave offering unto the LORD.

{29:29} And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his

sons' after him, to be anointed therein, and to be

consecrated in them. {29:30} [And] that son that is priest in

his stead shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into

the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy

[place.

]{29:31} And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration,

and seethe his flesh in the holy place. {29:32} And Aaron

and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that

[is] in the basket, [by] the door of the tabernacle of the

congregation. {29:33} And they shall eat those things

wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate [and] to

sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat [thereof,] because

they [are] holy. {29:34} And if ought of the flesh of the

consecrations, or of the bread, remain unto the morning,

then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be

eaten, because it [is] holy. {29:35} And thus shalt thou do

unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all [things] which

I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate

them. {29:36} And thou shalt offer every day a bullock

[for] a sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the

altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou

shalt anoint it, to sanctify it. {29:37} Seven days thou shalt

make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall

be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be

holy.

{29:38} Now this [is that] which thou shalt offer upon the

altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.

{29:39} The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and

the other lamb thou shalt offer at even: {29:40} And with

the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth

part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of

wine [for] a drink offering. {29:41} And the other lamb

thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to

the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink

offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by

fire unto the LORD. {29:42} [This shall be] a continual

burnt offering throughout your generations the door of

the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where

I will meet you, to speak there unto thee. {29:43} And there

I will meet with the children of Israel, and [the tabernacle]

shall be sanctified by my glory. {29:44} And I will sanctify

the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will

sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in

the priest's office.

{29:45} And I will dwell among the children of Israel,

and will be their God. {29:46} And they shall know that I

[am] the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of

the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I [am] the

LORD their God.

{30:1} And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon:

[of] shittim wood shalt thou make it. {30:2} A cubit [shall

be] the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof;

foursquare shall it be: and two cubits [shall be] the height

thereof: the horns thereof [shall be] of the same. {30:3} And

thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the

sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou

shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about. {30:4} And

two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it,

Page 49 Exodus

by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt

thou make [it;] and they shall be for places for the staves to

bear it withal. {30:5} And thou shalt make the staves [of]

shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. {30:6} And thou

shalt put it before the vail that [is] by the ark of the

testimony, before the mercy seat that [is] over the

testimony, where I will meet with thee. {30:7} And Aaron

shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he

dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it. {30:8}

And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn

incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD

throughout your generations. {30:9} Ye shall offer no

strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat

offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.

{30:10} And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the

horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering

of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement

upon it throughout your generations: it [is] most holy unto

the LORD.

{30:11} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

{30:12} When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel

after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom

for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them;

that there be no plague among them, when [thou] numberest

them. {30:13} This they shall give, every one that passeth

among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the

shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel [is] twenty gerahs:) an

half shekel [shall be] the offering of the LORD. {30:14}

Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from

twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the

LORD. {30:15} The rich shall not give more, and the poor

shall not give less than half a shekel, when [they] give an

offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your

souls. {30:16} And thou shalt take the atonement money of

the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of

the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a

memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to

make an atonement for your souls.

{30:17} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

{30:18} Thou shalt also make a laver [of] brass, and his

foot [also of] brass, to wash [withal:] and thou shalt put it

between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar,

and thou shalt put water therein. {30:19} For Aaron and his

sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat: {30:20}

When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they

shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come

near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire

unto the LORD: {30:21} So they shall wash their hands and

their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever

to them, [even] to him and to his seed throughout their

generations.

{30:22} Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

{30:23} Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure

myrrh five hundred [shekels,] and of sweet cinnamon half

so much, [even] two hundred and fifty [shekels,] and of

sweet calamus two hundred and fifty [shekels, ]{30:24}

And of cassia five hundred [shekels,] after the shekel of the

sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: {30:25} And thou shalt

make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after

the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.

{30:26} And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the

congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,

{30:27} And the table and all his vessels, and the

candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense, {30:28}

And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the

laver and his foot. {30:29} And thou shalt sanctify them,

that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall

be holy. {30:30} And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons,

and consecrate them, that [they] may minister unto me in

the priest's office. {30:31} And thou shalt speak unto the

children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil

unto me throughout your generations. {30:32} Upon man's

flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make [any

other] like it, after the composition of it: it [is] holy, [and] it

shall be holy unto you. {30:33} Whosoever compoundeth

[any] like it, or whosoever putteth [any] of it upon a

stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.

{30:34} And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee

sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; [these]

sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a

like [weight: ]{30:35} And thou shalt make it a perfume, a

confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered

together, pure [and] holy: {30:36} And thou shalt beat

[some] of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in

the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with

thee: it shall be unto you most holy. {30:37} And [as for]

the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to

yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be

unto thee holy for the LORD. {30:38} Whosoever shall

make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off

from his people.

{31:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {31:2}

See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son

of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: {31:3} And I have filled him

with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and

in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, {31:4}

To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and

in brass, {31:5} And in cutting of stones, to set [them,] and

in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.

{31:6} And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the

son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of

all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may

make all that I have commanded thee; {31:7} The

tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony,

and the mercy seat that [is] thereupon, and all the furniture

of the tabernacle, {31:8} And the table and his furniture,

and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar

of incense, {31:9} And the altar of burnt offering with all

his furniture, and the laver and his foot, {31:10} And the

cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the

priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the

priest's office, {31:11} And the anointing oil, and sweet

incense for the holy [place:] according to all that I have

commanded thee shall they do.

{31:12} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

{31:13} Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying,

Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between

me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know

that I [am] the LORD that doth sanctify you. {31:14} Ye

shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it [is] holy unto you:

every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for

whosoever doeth [any] work therein, that soul shall be cut

off from among his people. {31:15} Six days may work be

done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the

LORD: whosoever doeth [any] work in the sabbath day, he

shall surely be put to death. {31:16} Wherefore the children

of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath

throughout their generations, [for] a perpetual covenant.

{31:17} It [is] a sign between me and the children of Israel

for ever: for [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth,

and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

{31:18} And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an

end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables

of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

{32:1} And when the people saw that Moses delayed to

come down out of the mount, the people gathered

themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up,

make us gods, which shall go before us; for [as for] this

Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt,

we wot not what is become of him. {32:2} And Aaron said

unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which [are] in the

ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and

bring [them] unto me. {32:3} And all the people brake off

the golden earrings which [were] in their ears, and brought

[them] unto Aaron. {32:4} And he received [them] at their

hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had

made it a molten calf: and they said, These [be] thy gods, O

Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

{32:5} And when Aaron saw [it,] he built an altar before it;

and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow [is] a

feast to the LORD. {32:6} And they rose up early on the

morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace

offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and

rose up to play.

{32:7} And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee

down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land

of Egypt, have corrupted [themselves: ]{32:8} They have

turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded

them: they have made them a molten calf, and have

worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said,

These [be] thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up

out of the land of Egypt. {32:9} And the LORD said unto

Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it [is] a

stiffnecked people: {32:10} Now therefore let me alone,

that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may

consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.

{32:11} And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said,

LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people,

which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with

great power, and with a mighty hand? {32:12} Wherefore

should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he

bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to

consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy

fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.

{32:13} Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy

servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst

unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven,

and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your

seed, and they shall inherit [it] for ever. {32:14} And the

LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his

people.

{32:15} And Moses turned, and went down from the

mount, and the two tables of the testimony [were] in his

hand: the tables [were] written on both their sides; on the

one side and on the other [were] they written. {32:16} And

the tables [were] the work of God, and the writing [was] the

writing of God, graven upon the tables. {32:17} And when

Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said

unto Moses, [There is] a noise of war in the camp. {32:18}

And he said, [It is] not the voice of [them that] shout for

mastery, neither [is it] the voice of [them that] cry for being

overcome: [but] the noise of [them that] sing do I hear.

{32:19} And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh

unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and

Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his

hands, and brake them beneath the mount. {32:20} And he

took the calf which they had made, and burnt [it] in the fire,

and ground [it] to powder, and strawed [it] upon the water,

and made the children of Israel drink [of it. ]{32:21} And

Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that

thou hast brought so great a sin upon them? {32:22} And

Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou

knowest the people, that they are [set] on mischief. {32:23}

For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before

us: for [as for] this Moses, the man that brought us up out of

the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

{32:24} And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let

them break [it] off. So they gave [it] me: then I cast it into

the fire, and there came out this calf.

{32:25} And when Moses saw that the people [were]

naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto [their] shame

among their enemies:) {32:26} Then Moses stood in the

gate of the camp, and said, Who [is] on the LORD'S side?

[let him come] unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered

themselves together unto him. {32:27} And he said unto

them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man

his sword by his side, [and] go in and out from gate to gate

throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and

every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.

{32:28} And the children of Levi did according to the word

of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three

thousand men. {32:29} For Moses had said, Consecrate

yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his

son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a

blessing this day.

{32:30} And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses

said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I

will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an

atonement for your sin. {32:31} And Moses returned unto

the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin,

and have made them gods of gold. {32:32} Yet now, if thou

wilt forgive their sin-; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out

of thy book which thou hast written. {32:33} And the

LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me,

him will I blot out of my book. {32:34} Therefore now go,

lead the people unto [the place] of which I have spoken unto

thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless

in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.

{32:35} And the LORD plagued the people, because they

made the calf, which Aaron made.

{33:1} And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, [and] go

up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up

out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto

Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will

I give it: {33:2} And I will send an angel before thee; and I

will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite,

and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: {33:3} Unto

a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in

the midst of thee; for thou [art] a stiffnecked people: lest I

consume thee in the way.

{33:4} And when the people heard these evil tidings, they

mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments. {33:5}

For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children

of Israel, Ye [are] a stiffnecked people: I will come up into

the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore

now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what

to do unto thee. {33:6} And the children of Israel stripped

themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb. {33:7}

And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the

camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle

of the congregation. And it came to pass, [that] every one

Page 51 Exodus

which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the

congregation, which [was] without the camp. {33:8} And it

came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle,

[that] all the people rose up, and stood every man his

tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into

the tabernacle. {33:9} And it came to pass, as Moses

entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and

stood the door of the tabernacle, and [the] LORD talked

with Moses. {33:10} And all the people saw the cloudy

pillar stand the tabernacle door: and all the people rose

up and worshipped, every man [in] his tent door. {33:11}

And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man

speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp:

but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man,

departed not out of the tabernacle.

{33:12} And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest

unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me

know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I

know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my

sight. {33:13} Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found

grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know

thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that

this nation [is] thy people. {33:14} And he said, My

presence shall go [with thee,] and I will give thee rest.

{33:15} And he said unto him, If thy presence go not [with

me,] carry us not up hence. {33:16} For wherein shall it be

known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy

sight? [is it] not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be

separated, I and thy people, from all the people that [are]

upon the face of the earth. {33:17} And the LORD said

unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken:

for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by

name. {33:18} And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy

glory. {33:19} And he said, I will make all my goodness

pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD

before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be

gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

{33:20} And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there

shall no man see me, and live. {33:21} And the LORD said,

Behold, [there is] a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a

rock: {33:22} And it shall come to pass, while my glory

passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will

cover thee with my hand while I pass by: {33:23} And I

will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts:

but my face shall not be seen.

{34:1} And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two

tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon

[these] tables the words that were in the first tables, which

thou brakest. {34:2} And be ready in the morning, and

come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present

thyself there to me in the top of the mount. {34:3} And no

man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen

throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds

feed before that mount.

{34:4} And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the

first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up

unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and

took in his hand the two tables of stone. {34:5} And the

LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there,

and proclaimed the name of the LORD. {34:6} And the

LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD,

The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and

abundant in goodness and truth, {34:7} Keeping mercy for

thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and

that will by no means clear [the guilty;] visiting the iniquity

of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's

children, unto the third and to the fourth [generation.

]{34:8} And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward

the earth, and worshipped. {34:9} And he said, If now I

have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray

thee, go among us; for it [is] a stiffnecked people; and

pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine

inheritance.

{34:10} And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before

all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done

in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among

which thou [art] shall see the work of the LORD: for it [is] a

terrible thing that I will do with thee. {34:11} Observe thou

that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out

before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite,

and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. {34:12}

Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the

inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a

snare in the midst of thee: {34:13} But ye shall destroy their

altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:

{34:14} For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD,

whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God: {34:15} Lest

thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and

they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto

their gods, and [one] call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;

{34:16} And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and

their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy

sons go a whoring after their gods. {34:17} Thou shalt

make thee no molten gods.

{34:18} The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep.

Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I

commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the

month Abib thou camest out from Egypt. {34:19} All that

openeth the matrix [is] mine; and every firstling among thy

cattle, [whether] ox or sheep, [that is male. ]{34:20} But the

firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou

redeem [him] not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the

firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall

appear before me empty.

{34:21} Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day

thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

{34:22} And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the

firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at

the year's end.

{34:23} Thrice in the year shall all your men children

appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel. {34:24} For

I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy

borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou

shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the

year. {34:25} Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice

with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the

passover be left unto the morning. {34:26} The first of the

firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the

LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's

milk. {34:27} And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou

these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a

covenant with thee and with Israel. {34:28} And he was

there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did

neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the

tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

{34:29} And it came to pass, when Moses came down

from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in

Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that

Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he

Exodus Page 52

talked with him. {34:30} And when Aaron and all the

children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face

shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. {34:31} And

Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the

congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with

them. {34:32} And afterward all the children of Israel came

nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD

had spoken with him in mount Sinai. {34:33} And [till]

Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his

face. {34:34} But when Moses went in before the LORD to

speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And

he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel [that]

which he was commanded. {34:35} And the children of

Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face

shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he

went in to speak with him.

{35:1} And Moses gathered all the congregation of the

children of Israel together, and said unto them, These [are]

the words which the LORD hath commanded, that [ye]

should do them. {35:2} Six days shall work be done, but on

the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath

of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be

put to death. {35:3} Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your

habitations upon the sabbath day.

{35:4} And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the

children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the

LORD commanded, saying, {35:5} Take ye from among

you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever [is] of a willing

heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and

silver, and brass, {35:6} And blue, and purple, and scarlet,

and fine linen, and goats' [hair, ]{35:7} And rams' skins

dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood, {35:8} And

oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the

sweet incense, {35:9} And onyx stones, and stones to be set

for the ephod, and for the breastplate. {35:10} And every

wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the

LORD hath commanded; {35:11} The tabernacle, his tent,

and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his

pillars, and his sockets, {35:12} The ark, and the staves

thereof, [with] the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,

{35:13} The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and

the shewbread, {35:14} The candlestick also for the light,

and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light,

{35:15} And the incense altar, and his staves, and the

anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the

door at the entering in of the tabernacle, {35:16} The altar

of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all

his vessels, the laver and his foot, {35:17} The hangings of

the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for

the door of the court, {35:18} The pins of the tabernacle,

and the pins of the court, and their cords, {35:19} The

cloths of service, to do service in the holy [place,] the holy

garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons,

to minister in the priest's office.

{35:20} And all the congregation of the children of Israel

departed from the presence of Moses. {35:21} And they

came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one

whom his spirit made willing, [and] they brought the

LORD'S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the

congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy

garments. {35:22} And they came, both men and women, as

many as were willing hearted, [and] brought bracelets, and

earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every

man that offered [offered] an offering of gold unto the

LORD. {35:23} And every man, with whom was found

blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats'

[hair,] and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought

[them. ]{35:24} Every one that did offer an offering of

silver and brass brought the LORD'S offering: and every

man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of

the service, brought [it. ]{35:25} And all the women that

were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought

that which they had spun, [both] of blue, and of purple,

[and] of scarlet, and of fine linen. {35:26} And all the

women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats'

[hair. ]{35:27} And the rulers brought onyx stones, and

stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;

{35:28} And spice, and oil for the light, and for the

anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. {35:29} The

children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD,

every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to

bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had

commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.

{35:30} And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See,

the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the

son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; {35:31} And he hath filled

him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding,

and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;

{35:32} And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and

in silver, and in brass, {35:33} And in the cutting of stones,

to set [them,] and in carving of wood, to make any manner

of cunning work. {35:34} And he hath put in his heart that

he may teach, [both] he, and Aholiab, the son of

Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. {35:35} Them hath he

filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of

the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the

embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine

linen, and of the weaver, [even] of them that do any work,

and of those that devise cunning work.

{36:1} Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every

wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and

understanding to know how to work all manner of work for

the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD

had commanded. {36:2} And Moses called Bezaleel and

Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the

LORD had put wisdom, [even] every one whose heart

stirred him up to come unto the work to do it: {36:3} And

they received of Moses all the offering, which the children

of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the

sanctuary, to make it [withal.] And they brought yet unto

him free offerings every morning. {36:4} And all the wise

men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every

man from his work which they made;

{36:5} And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people

bring much more than enough for the service of the work,

which the LORD commanded to make. {36:6} And Moses

gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed

throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman

make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So

the people were restrained from bringing. {36:7} For the

stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and

too much.

{36:8} And every wise hearted man among them that

wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains [of]

fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: [with]

cherubims of cunning work made he them. {36:9} The

length of one curtain [was] twenty and eight cubits, and the

breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains [were] all of

one size. {36:10} And he coupled the five curtains one unto

another: and [the other] five curtains he coupled one unto

another. {36:11} And he made loops of blue on the edge of

Page 53 Exodus

one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he

made in the uttermost side of [another] curtain, in the

coupling of the second. {36:12} Fifty loops made he in one

curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain

which [was] in the coupling of the second: the loops held

one [curtain] to another. {36:13} And he made fifty taches

of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the

taches: so it became one tabernacle.

{36:14} And he made curtains [of] goats' [hair] for the

tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.

{36:15} The length of one curtain [was] thirty cubits, and

four cubits [was] the breadth of one curtain: the eleven

curtains [were] of one size. {36:16} And he coupled five

curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.

{36:17} And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of

the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the

edge of the curtain which coupleth the second. {36:18} And

he made fifty taches [of] brass to couple the tent together,

that it might be one. {36:19} And he made a covering for

the tent [of] rams' skins dyed red, and a covering [of]

badgers' skins above [that.

]{36:20} And he made boards for the tabernacle [of]

shittim wood, standing up. {36:21} The length of a board

[was] ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a

half. {36:22} One board had two tenons, equally distant one

from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the

tabernacle. {36:23} And he made boards for the tabernacle;

twenty boards for the south side southward: {36:24} And

forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two

sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets

under another board for his two tenons. {36:25} And for the

other side of the tabernacle, [which is] toward the north

corner, he made twenty boards, {36:26} And their forty

sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two

sockets under another board. {36:27} And for the sides of

the tabernacle westward he made six boards. {36:28} And

two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the

two sides. {36:29} And they were coupled beneath, and

coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did

to both of them in both the corners. {36:30} And there were

eight boards; and their sockets [were] sixteen sockets of

silver, under every board two sockets.

{36:31} And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the

boards of the one side of the tabernacle, {36:32} And five

bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and

five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides

westward. {36:33} And he made the middle bar to shoot

through the boards from the one end to the other. {36:34}

And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings

[of] gold [to be] places for the bars, and overlaid the bars

with gold.

{36:35} And he made a vail [of] blue, and purple, and

scarlet, and fine twined linen: [with] cherubims made he it

of cunning work. {36:36} And he made thereunto four

pillars [of] shittim [wood,] and overlaid them with gold:

their hooks [were of] gold; and he cast for them four sockets

of silver.

{36:37} And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door

[of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of

needlework; {36:38} And the five pillars of it with their

hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and their fillets with

gold: but their five sockets [were of] brass.

{37:1} And Bezaleel made the ark [of] shittim wood: two

cubits and a half [was] the length of it, and a cubit and a

half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:

{37:2} And he overlaid it with pure gold within and

without, and made a crown of gold to it round about. {37:3}

And he cast for it four rings of gold, [to be set] by the four

corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two

rings upon the other side of it. {37:4} And he made staves

[of] shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold. {37:5} And

he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to

bear the ark.

{37:6} And he made the mercy seat [of] pure gold: two

cubits and a half [was] the length thereof, and one cubit and

a half the breadth thereof. {37:7} And he made two

cherubims [of] gold, beaten out of one piece made he them,

on the two ends of the mercy seat; {37:8} One cherub on

the end on this side, and another cherub on the [other] end

on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims

on the two ends thereof. {37:9} And the cherubims spread

out [their] wings on high, [and] covered with their wings

over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; [even

]to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.

{37:10} And he made the table of shittim wood: two

cubits [was] the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth

thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof: {37:11}

And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a

crown of gold round about. {37:12} Also he made thereunto

a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown

of gold for the border thereof round about. {37:13} And he

cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four

corners that [were] in the four feet thereof. {37:14} Over

against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to

bear the table. {37:15} And he made the staves [of] shittim

wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.

{37:16} And he made the vessels which [were] upon the

table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his

covers to cover withal, [of] pure gold.

{37:17} And he made the candlestick [of] pure gold: [of]

beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his

branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the

same: {37:18} And six branches going out of the sides

thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side

thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the

other side thereof: {37:19} Three bowls made after the

fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and

three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop

and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of

the candlestick. {37:20} And in the candlestick [were] four

bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:

{37:21} And a knop under two branches of the same, and a

knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two

branches of the same, according to the six branches going

out of it. {37:22} Their knops and their branches were of

the same: all of it [was] one beaten work [of] pure gold.

{37:23} And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and

his snuffdishes, [of] pure gold. {37:24} [Of] a talent of pure

gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.

{37:25} And he made the incense altar [of] shittim wood:

the length of it [was] a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it

[was] foursquare; and two cubits [was] the height of it; the

horns thereof were of the same. {37:26} And he overlaid it

with pure gold, [both] the top of it, and the sides thereof

round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto it a

crown of gold round about. {37:27} And he made two rings

of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of

it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to

Exodus Page 54

bear it withal. {37:28} And he made the staves [of] shittim

wood, and overlaid them with gold.

{37:29} And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure

incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the

apothecary.

{38:1} And he made the altar of burnt offering [of]

shittim wood: five cubits [was] the length thereof, and five

cubits the breadth thereof; [it was] foursquare; and three

cubits the height thereof. {38:2} And he made the horns

thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of

the same: and he overlaid it with brass. {38:3} And he made

all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the

basons, [and] the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the

vessels thereof made he [of] brass. {38:4} And he made for

the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass

thereof beneath unto the midst of it. {38:5} And he cast four

rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, [to be] places

for the staves. {38:6} And he made the staves [of] shittim

wood, and overlaid them with brass. {38:7} And he put the

staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it

withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.

{38:8} And he made the laver [of] brass, and the foot of it

[of] brass, of the lookingglasses of [the women] assembling,

which assembled the door of the tabernacle of the

congregation.

{38:9} And he made the court: on the south side

southward the hangings of the court [were of] fine twined

linen, an hundred cubits: {38:10} Their pillars [were]

twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the

pillars and their fillets [were of] silver. {38:11} And for the

north side [the hangings were] an hundred cubits, their

pillars [were] twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the

hooks of the pillars and their fillets [of] silver. {38:12} And

for the west side [were] hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars

ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their

fillets [of] silver. {38:13} And for the east side eastward

fifty cubits. {38:14} The hangings of the one side [of the

gate were] fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their

sockets three. {38:15} And for the other side of the court

gate, on this hand and that hand, [were] hangings of fifteen

cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three. {38:16}

All the hangings of the court round about [were] of fine

twined linen. {38:17} And the sockets for the pillars [were

of] brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets [of] silver;

and the overlaying of their chapiters [of] silver; and all the

pillars of the court [were] filleted with silver. {38:18} And

the hanging for the gate of the court [was] needlework, [of]

blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and

twenty cubits [was] the length, and the height in the breadth

[was] five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.

{38:19} And their pillars [were] four, and their sockets [of]

brass four; their hooks [of] silver, and the overlaying of

their chapiters and their fillets [of] silver. {38:20} And all

the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about,

[were of] brass.

{38:21} This is the sum of the tabernacle, [even] of the

tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the

commandment of Moses, [for] the service of the Levites, by

the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest. {38:22} And

Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of

Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses. {38:23}

And with him [was] Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe

of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an

embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine

linen. {38:24} All the gold that was occupied for the work

in all the work of the holy [place,] even the gold of the

offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred

and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary. {38:25}

And the silver of them that were numbered of the

congregation [was] an hundred talents, and a thousand

seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the

shekel of the sanctuary: {38:26} A bekah for every man,

[that is,] half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for

every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old

and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand

and five hundred and fifty [men. ]{38:27} And of the

hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the

sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of

the hundred talents, a talent for a socket. {38:28} And of the

thousand seven hundred seventy and five [shekels] he made

hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and

filleted them. {38:29} And the brass of the offering [was]

seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.

{38:30} And therewith he made the sockets to the door of

the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and

the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,

{38:31} And the sockets of the court round about, and the

sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle,

and all the pins of the court round about.

{39:1} And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made

cloths of service, to do service in the holy [place,] and made

the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded

Moses. {39:2} And he made the ephod [of] gold, blue, and

purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. {39:3} And they

did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut [it into] wires, to

work [it] in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet,

and in the fine linen, [with] cunning work. {39:4} They

made shoulderpieces for it, to couple [it] together: by the

two edges was it coupled together. {39:5} And the curious

girdle of his ephod, that [was] upon it, [was] of the same,

according to the work thereof; [of] gold, blue, and purple,

and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded

Moses.

{39:6} And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches

of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the

children of Israel. {39:7} And he put them on the shoulders

of the ephod, [that they should be] stones for a memorial to

the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.

{39:8} And he made the breastplate [of] cunning work,

like the work of the ephod; [of] gold, blue, and purple, and

scarlet, and fine twined linen. {39:9} It was foursquare;

they made the breastplate double: a span [was] the length

thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, [being] doubled.

{39:10} And they set in it four rows of stones: [the first]

row [was] a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this [was] the

first row. {39:11} And the second row, an emerald, a

sapphire, and a diamond. {39:12} And the third row, a

ligure, an agate, and an amethyst. {39:13} And the fourth

row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: [they were] inclosed in

ouches of gold in their inclosings. {39:14} And the stones

[were] according to the names of the children of Israel,

twelve, according to their names, [like] the engravings of a

signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve

tribes. {39:15} And they made upon the breastplate chains

at the ends, [of] wreathen work [of] pure gold. {39:16} And

they made two ouches [of] gold, and two gold rings; and put

the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate. {39:17}

And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two

rings on the ends of the breastplate. {39:18} And the two

ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two

Page 55 Exodus

ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod,

before it. {39:19} And they made two rings of gold, and put

[them] on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border

of it, which [was] on the side of the ephod inward. {39:20}

And they made two [other] golden rings, and put them on

the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart

of it, over against the [other] coupling thereof, above the

curious girdle of the ephod. {39:21} And they did bind the

breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a

lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the

ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the

ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.

{39:22} And he made the robe of the ephod [of] woven

work, all [of] blue. {39:23} And [there was] an hole in the

midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, [with] a band

round about the hole, that it should not rend. {39:24} And

they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates [of]

blue, and purple, and scarlet, [and] twined [linen. ]{39:25}

And they made bells [of] pure gold, and put the bells

between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round

about between the pomegranates; {39:26} A bell and a

pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the

hem of the robe to minister [in;] as the LORD commanded

Moses.

{39:27} And they made coats [of] fine linen [of] woven

work for Aaron, and for his sons, {39:28} And a mitre [of]

fine linen, and goodly bonnets [of] fine linen, and linen

breeches [of] fine twined linen, {39:29} And a girdle [of]

fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, [of]

needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.

{39:30} And they made the plate of the holy crown [of]

pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, [like to] the

engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

{39:31} And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten [it] on

high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.

{39:32} Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the

tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel

did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so

did they.

{39:33} And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the

tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars,

and his pillars, and his sockets, {39:34} And the covering of

rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins,

and the vail of the covering, {39:35} The ark of the

testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,

{39:36} The table, [and] all the vessels thereof, and the

shewbread, {39:37} The pure candlestick, [with] the lamps

thereof, [even with] the lamps to be set in order, and all the

vessels thereof, and the oil for light, {39:38} And the

golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense,

and the hanging for the tabernacle door, {39:39} The brasen

altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels,

the laver and his foot, {39:40} The hangings of the court,

his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court

gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the

service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,

{39:41} The cloths of service to do service in the holy

[place,] and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his

sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office. {39:42}

According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the

children of Israel made all the work. {39:43} And Moses

did look upon all the work, and, behold, they have done it as

the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and

Moses blessed them.

{40:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {40:2}

On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the

tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. {40:3} And thou

shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark

with the vail. {40:4} And thou shalt bring in the table, and

set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and

thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps

thereof. {40:5} And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the

incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging

of the door to the tabernacle. {40:6} And thou shalt set the

altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle

of the tent of the congregation. {40:7} And thou shalt set

the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar,

and shalt put water therein. {40:8} And thou shalt set up the

court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court

gate. {40:9} And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and

anoint the tabernacle, and all that [is] therein, and shalt

hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.

{40:10} And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt

offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it

shall be an altar most holy. {40:11} And thou shalt anoint

the laver and his foot, and sanctify it. {40:12} And thou

shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the

tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.

{40:13} And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments,

and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto

me in the priest's office. {40:14} And thou shalt bring his

sons, and clothe them with coats: {40:15} And thou shalt

anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may

minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing

shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their

generations. {40:16} Thus did Moses: according to all that

the LORD commanded him, so did he.

{40:17} And it came to pass in the first month in the

second year, on the first [day] of the month, [that] the

tabernacle was reared up. {40:18} And Moses reared up the

tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards

thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.

{40:19} And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle,

and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD

commanded Moses.

{40:20} And he took and put the testimony into the ark,

and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above

upon the ark: {40:21} And he brought the ark into the

tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered

the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.

{40:22} And he put the table in the tent of the

congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward,

without the vail. {40:23} And he set the bread in order upon

it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

{40:24} And he put the candlestick in the tent of the

congregation, over against the table, on the side of the

tabernacle southward. {40:25} And he lighted the lamps

before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

{40:26} And he put the golden altar in the tent of the

congregation before the vail: {40:27} And he burnt sweet

incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.

{40:28} And he set up the hanging the door of the

tabernacle. {40:29} And he put the altar of burnt offering

[by] the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the

congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the

meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Exodus Page 56

{40:30} And he set the laver between the tent of the

congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash

[withal. ]{40:31} And Moses and Aaron and his sons

washed their hands and their feet thereat: {40:32} When

they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they

came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD

commanded Moses. {40:33} And he reared up the court

round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the

hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.

{40:34} Then a cloud covered the tent of the

congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the

tabernacle. {40:35} And Moses was not able to enter into

the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode

thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

{40:36} And when the cloud was taken up from over the

tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their

journeys: {40:37} But if the cloud were not taken up, then

they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. {40:38}

For the cloud of the LORD [was] upon the tabernacle by

day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house

of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
