▲1.1 These are the names of the
sons of Israel that came into Egypt together with Jacob their father;
they came in each with their whole family.
1.2 Ruben,
Simeon, Levi, Judas,
1.3
Issachar, Zabulon, Benjamin,
1.4 Dan and
Nephthalim, Gad and Aser.
1.5 But
Joseph was in Egypt. And all the souls [born] of Jacob were
seventy-five.
1.6 And
Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
1.7 And the
children of Israel increased and multiplied, and became numerous and
grew exceedingly strong, and the land multiplied them.
1.8 And
there arose up another king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
1.9 And he
said to his nation, Behold, the race of the children of Israel is a
great multitude, and is stronger than we:
1.10 come
then, let us deal craftily with them, lest at any time they be
increased, and whensoever war shall happen to us, these also shall be
added to our enemies, and having prevailed against us in war, they will
depart out of the land.
1.11 And he
set over them task-masters, who should afflict them in their works; and
they built strong cities for Pharao, both Pitho, and Ramesses, and On,
which is Heliopolis.
1.12 But as
they humbled them, by so much they multiplied, and grew exceedingly
strong; and the Egyptians greatly abhorred the children of Israel.
1.13 And
the Egyptians tyrannised over the children of Israel by force.
1.14 And
they embittered their life by hard labours, in the clay and in
brick-making, and all the works in the plains, according to all the
works, wherein they caused them to serve with violence.
1.15 And
the king of the Egyptians spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews; the
name of the one was, Sepphora; and the name of the second, Phua.
1.16 And he
said, When ye do the office of midwives to the Hebrew women, and they
are about to be delivered, if it be a male, kill it; but if a female,
save it.
1.17 But
the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt appointed
them; and they saved the male children alive.
1.18 And
the king of Egypt called the midwives, and said to them, Why is it that
ye have done this thing, and saved the male children alive?
1.19 And
the midwives said to Pharao, The Hebrew women are not as the women of
Egypt, for they are delivered before the midwives go in to them. So
they bore children.
1.20 And
God did well to the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very
strong.
1.21 And as
the midwives feared God, they established for themselves families.
1.22 And
Pharao charged all his people, saying, Whatever male [child] shall be
born to the Hebrews, cast into the river; and every female, save it
alive.
▲2.1 And there was a certain man
of the tribe of Levi, who took to wife one of the daughters of Levi.
2.2 And she
conceived, and bore a male child; and having seen that he was fair,
they hid him three months.
2.3 And
when they could no longer hide him, his mother took for him an ark, and
besmeared it with bitumen, and cast the child into it, and put it in
the ooze by the river.
2.4 And his
sister was watching from a distance, to learn what would happen to him.
2.5 And the
daughter of Pharao came down to the river to bathe; and her maids
walked by the river's side, and having seen the ark in the ooze, she
sent her maid, and took it up.
2.6 And
having opened it, she sees the babe weeping in the ark: and the
daughter of Pharao had compassion on it, and said, This [is one] of the
Hebrew's children.
2.7 And his
sister said to the daughter of Pharao, Wilt thou that I call to thee a
nurse of the Hebrews, and shall she suckle the child for thee?
2.8 And the
daughter of Pharao said, Go: and the young woman went, and called the
mother of the child.
2.9 And the
daughter of Pharao said to her, Take care of this child, and suckled it
for me, and I will give thee the wages; and the woman took the child,
and suckled it.
2.10 And
when the boy was grown, she brought him to the daughter of Pharao, and
he became her son; and she called his name, Moses, saying, I took him
out of the water.
2.11 And it
came to pass in that length of time, that Moses having grown, went out
to his brethren the sons of Israel: and having noticed their distress,
he sees an Egyptian smiting a certain Hebrew of his brethren the
children of Israel.
2.12 And
having looked round this way and that way, he sees no one; and he smote
the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
2.13 And
having gone out the second day he sees two Hebrew men fighting; and he
says to the injurer, Wherefore smitest thou thy neighbour?
2.14 And he
said, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? wilt thou slay me as
thou yesterday slewest the Egyptian? Then Moses was alarmed, and said,
If [it be] thus, this matter has become known.
2.15 And
Pharao heard this matter, and sought to slay Moses; and Moses departed
from the presence of Pharao, and dwelt in the land of Madiam; and
having come into the land of Madiam, he sat on the well.
2.16 And
the priest of Madiam had seven daughters, feeding the flock of their
father Jothor; and they came and drew water until they filled their
pitchers, to water the flock of their father Jothor.
2.17 And
the shepherds came, and were driving them away; and Moses rose up and
rescued them, and drew water for them, and watered their sheep.
2.18 And
hey came to Raguel their father; and he said to them, Why have ye come
so quickly to-day?
2.19 And
they said, An Egyptian delivered us from the shepherds, and drew water
for us and watered our sheep.
2.20 And he
said to his daughters, And where is he? and why have ye left the man?
call him therefore, that he may eat bread.
2.21 And
Moses was established with the man, and he gave Sepphora his daughter
to Moses to wife.
2.22 And
the woman conceived and bore a son, and Moses called his name Gersam,
saying, I am a sojourner in a strange land.
2.23 And in
those days after a length of time, the king of Egypt died; and the
children of Israel groaned because of their tasks, and cried, and their
cry because of their tasks went up to God.
2.24 And
God heard their groanings, and God remembered his covenant made with
Abraam and Isaac and Jacob.
2.25 And
God looked upon the children of Israel, and was made known to them.
▲3.1 And Moses was feeding the
flock of Jothor his father-in-law, the priest of Madiam; and he brought
the sheep nigh to the wilderness, and came to the mount of Choreb.
3.2 And an
angel of the Lord appeared to him in flaming fire out of the bush, and
he sees that the bush burns with fire,-- but the bush was not consumed.
3.3 And
Moses said, I will go near and see this great sight, why the bush is
not consumed.
3.4 And
when the Lord saw that he drew nigh to see, the Lord called him out of
the bush, saying, Moses, Moses; and he said, What is it?
3.5 And he
said, Draw not nigh hither: loose thy sandals from off thy feet, for
the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
3.6 And he
said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraam, and the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and Moses turned away his face, for he was
afraid to gaze at God.
3.7 And the
Lord said to Moses, I have surely seen the affliction of my people that
is in Egypt, and I have heard their cry [caused] by their task-masters;
for I know their affliction.
3.8 And I
have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to
bring them out of that land, and to bring them into a good and wide
land, into a land flowing with milk and honey, into the place of the
Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and
Gergesites, and Evites, and Jebusites.
3.9 And
now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come to me, and I
have seen the affliction with which the Egyptians afflict them.
3.10 And
now come, I will send thee to Pharao king of Egypt, and thou shalt
bring out my people the children of Israel from the land of Egypt.
3.11 And
Moses said to God, Who am I, that I should go to Pharao king of Egypt,
and that I should bring out the children of Israel from the land of
Egypt?
3.12 And
God spoke to Moses, saying, I will be with thee, and this shall be the
sign to thee that I shall send thee forth,-- when thou bringest out my
people out of Egypt, then ye shall serve God in this mountain.
3.13 And
Moses said to God, Behold, I shall go forth to the children of Israel,
and shall say to them, The God of our fathers has sent me to you; and
they will ask me, What is his name? What shall I say to them?
3.14 And
God spoke to Moses, saying, I am THE BEING; and he said, Thus shall ye
say to the children of Israel, THE BEING has sent me to you.
3.15 And
God said again to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the sons of Israel, The
Lord God of our fathers, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God
of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and my memorial
to generations of generations.
3.16 Go
then and gather the elders of the children of Israel, and thou shalt
say to them, The Lord God of our fathers has appeared to me, the God of
Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, saying, I have surely
looked upon you, and upon all the things which have happened to you in
Egypt.
3.17 And he
said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of the Egyptians to the
land of the Chananites and the Chettites, and Amorites and Pherezites,
and Gergesites, and Evites, and Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk
and honey.
3.18 And
they shall harken to thy voice, and thou and the elders of Israel shall
go in to Pharao king of Egypt, and thou shalt say to him, The God of
the Hebrews has called us; we will go then a journey of three days into
the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to our God.
3.19 But I
know that Pharao king of Egypt will not let you go, save with a mighty
hand;
3.20 and I
will stretch out my hand, and smite the Egyptians with all my wonders,
which I shall work among them, and after that he will send you forth.
3.21 And I
will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, and
whenever ye shall escape, ye shall not depart empty.
3.22 But
[every] woman shall ask of her neighbour and fellow lodger, articles of
gold and silver, and apparel; and ye shall put them upon your sons and
upon your daughters,-- and spoil ye the Egyptians.
▲4.1 And Moses answered and
said, If they believe me not, and do not hearken to my voice (for they
will say, God has not appeared to thee), what shall I say to them?
4.2 And the
Lord said to him, What is this thing that is 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 it.
4.4 And the
Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth thine hand, and take hold of its
tail: so he stretched forth his hand and took hold of the tail,
4.5 and it
became a rod in his hand,-- that they may believe thee, that the God of
thy fathers has appeared to thee, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac,
and God of Jacob.
4.6 And the
Lord said again to him, Put thine hand into thy bosom; and he put his
hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and his
hand became as snow.
4.7 And he
said again, Put thy hand into thy bosom; and he put his hand into his
bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and it was again restored
to the complexion of his [other] flesh.
4.8 And if
they will not believe thee, nor hearken to the voice of the first sign,
they will believe thee [because] of the voice of the second sign.
4.9 And it
shall come o pass if they will not believe thee for these two signs,
and will not hearken to thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of
the river and pour it upon the dry land, and the water which thou shalt
take from the river shall be blood upon the dry land.
4.10 And
Moses said to the Lord, I pray, Lord, I have not been sufficient in
former times, neither from the time that thou hast begun to speak to
thy servant: I am weak in speech, and slow-tongued.
4.11 And
the Lord said to Moses, Who has given a mouth to man, and who has made
the very hard of hearing, and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? have
not I, God?
4.12 And
now go and I will open thy mouth, and will instruct thee in what thou
shalt say.
4.13 And
Moses said, I pray thee, Lord, appoint another able [person] whom thou
shalt send.
4.14 And
the Lord was greatly angered against Moses, and said, Lo! is not Aaron
the Levite thy brother? I know that he will surely speak to thee; and,
behold, he will come forth to meet thee, and beholding thee he will
rejoice within himself.
4.15 And
thou shalt speak to him; and thou shalt put my words into his mouth,
and I will open thy mouth and his mouth, and I will instruct you in
what ye shall do.
4.16 And he
shall speak for thee to the people, and he shall be thy mouth, and thou
shalt be for him in things pertaining to God.
4.17 And
this rod that was turned into a serpent thou shalt take in thine hand,
wherewith thou shalt work miracles.
4.18 And
Moses went and returned to Jothor his father-in-law, and says, I will
go and return to my brethren in Egypt, and will see if they are yet
living. And Jothor said to Moses, Go in health. And in those days after
some time, the king of Egypt died.
4.19 And
the Lord said to Moses in Madiam, Go, depart into Egypt, for all that
sought thy life are dead.
4.20 And
Moses took his wife and his children, and mounted them on the beasts,
and returned to Egypt; and Moses took the rod [which he had] from God
in his hand.
4.21 And
the Lord said to Moses, When thou goest and returnest to Egypt, see--
all the miracles I have charged thee with, thou shalt work before
Pharao: and I will harden his heart, and he shall certainly not send
away the people.
4.22 And
thou shalt say to Pharao, These things saith the Lord, Israel [is] my
first-born.
4.23 And I
said to thee, Send away my people, that they may serve me: now if thou
wilt not send them away, see, I will slay thy first-born son.
4.24 And it
came to pass [that] the angel of the Lord met him by the way in the
inn, and sought to slay him.
4.25 and
Sepphora having taken a stone cut off the foreskin of her son, and fell
at his feet and said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is
staunched:
4.26 and he
departed from him, because she said, The blood of the circumcision of
my son is staunched.
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 they kissed each other.
4.28 And
Moses reported to Aaron all the words of the Lord, which he sent, and
all the things which he charged him.
4.29 And
Moses and Aaron went and gathered the elders of the children of Israel.
4.30 And
Aaron spoke all these words, which God spoke to Moses, and wrought the
miracles before the people.
4.31 and
the people believed and rejoiced, because God visited the children of
Israel, and because he saw their affliction: and the people bowed and
worshiped.
▲5.1 And after this went in
Moses and Aaron to Pharao, and they said to him, These things says the
Lord God of Israel, Send my people away, that they may keep a feast to
me in the wilderness.
5.2 And
Pharao said, Who is he that I should hearken to his voice, so that I
should send away the children of Israel? I do not know the Lord, and I
will not let Israel go.
5.3 And
they say to him, The God of the Hebrews has called us to him: we will
go therefore a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may
sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest at any time death or slaughter
happen to us.
5.4 And the
king of Egypt said to them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, turn the people
from their works? depart each of you to your works.
5.5 And
Pharao said, Behold now, the people is very numerous; let us not then
give them rest from their work.
5.6 And
Pharao gave orders to the task-masters of the people and the
accountants, saying,
5.7 Ye
shall no longer give straw to the people for brick-making as yesterday
and the third day; but let them go themselves, and collect straw for
themselves.
5.8 And
thou shalt impose on them daily the rate of brick-making which they
perform: thou shalt not abate anything, for they are idle; therefore
have they cried, saying, Let us arise and do sacrifice to our God.
5.9 Let the
works of these men be made grievous, and let them care for these
things, and not care for vain words.
5.10 And
the taskmasters and the accountants hastened them, and they spoke to
the people, saying, thus says Pharao, I [will] give you straw no longer.
5.11 Go ye,
yourselves, get for yourselves straw whencesoever ye can find it, for
nothing is diminished from your rate.
5.12 So the
people were dispersed in all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for
straw.
5.13 and
the taskmasters hastened them, saying, Fulfil your regular daily tasks,
even as when straw was given you.
5.14 And
the accountants of the race of the children of Israel, who were set
over them by the masters of Pharao, were scourged, [[and questioned,]]
[men] saying, Why have ye not fulfilled your rates of brick-work as
yesterday and the third day, to-day also?
5.15 And
the accountants of the children of Israel went in and cried to Pharao,
saying, Why dost thou act thus to thy servants?
5.16 Straw
is not given to thy servants, and they tell us to make brick; and
behold thy servants have been scourged: thou wilt therefore injure thy
people.
5.17 And he
said to them, Ye are idle, ye are idlers: therefore ye say, Let us go
[and] do sacrifice to our God.
5.18 Now
then go and work, for straw shall not be given to you, yet ye shall
return the rate of bricks.
5.19 And
the accountants of the children of Israel saw themselves in an evil
light, [men] saying, Ye shall not fail to deliver the daily rate of the
brick-making.
5.20 And
they met Moses and Aaron coming forth to meet them, as they came forth
from Pharao.
5.21 And
they said to them, The Lord look upon you and judge you, for ye have
made our savour abominable before Pharao, and before his servants, to
put a sword into his hands to slay us.
5.22 And
Moses turned to the Lord, and said, I pray, Lord, why hast thou
afflicted this people? and wherefore hast thou sent me?
5.23 For
from the time that I went to Pharao to speak in thy name, he has
afflicted this people, and thou hast not delivered thy people.
▲6.1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Now thou shalt see what I will do to Pharao; for he shall send them
forth with a mighty hand, and with a high arm shall he cast them out of
his land.
6.2 And God
spoke to Moses and said to him, I [am] the Lord.
6.3 And I
appeared to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, being their God, but I did not
manifest to them my name Lord.
6.4 And I
established my covenant with them, to give them the land of the
Chananites, the land wherein they sojourned, in which also they dwelt
as strangers.
6.5 And I
hearkened to the groaning of the children of Israel (the affliction
with which the Egyptians enslave them) and I remembered the covenant
with you.
6.6 Go,
speak to the children of Israel, saying, I [am] the Lord; and I will
lead you forth from the tyranny of the Egyptians, and I will deliver
you from bondage, and I will ransom you with a high arm, and great
judgment.
6.7 And I
will take you to me a people for myself, and will be your God; and ye
shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the
tyranny of the Egyptians.
6.8 And I
will bring you into the land concerning which I stretched out my hand
to give it to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, and I will give it you for an
inheritance: I [am] the Lord.
6.9 And
Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, and they hearkened not to Moses
for faint-heartedness, and for their hard tasks.
6.10 And
the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6.11 Go in,
speak to Pharao king of Egypt, that he send forth the children of
Israel out of his land.
6.12 And
Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel
hearkened not to me, and how shall Pharao hearken to me? and I am not
eloquent.
6.13 And
the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a charge to Pharao
king of Egypt, that he should send forth the children of Israel out of
the land of Egypt.
6.14 And
these are the heads of the houses of their families: the sons of Ruben
the first-born of Israel; Enoch and Phallus, Asron, and Charmi, this is
the kindred of Ruben.
6.15 And
the sons of Symeon, Jemuel and Jamin, and Aod, and Jachin and Saar, and
Saul the son of a Phoenician woman, these are the families of the sons
of Symeon.
6.16 And
these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their kindreds,
Gedson, Caath, and Merari; and the years of the life of Levi were a
hundred and thirty-seven.
6.17 And
these are the sons of Gedson, Lobeni and Semei, the houses of their
family. And the sons of Caath,
6.18 Ambram
and Issaar, Chebron, and Oziel; and the years of the life of Caath were
a hundred and thirty-three years.
6.19 And
the sons of Merari, Mooli, and Omusi, these are the houses of the
families of Levi, according to their kindreds.
6.20 And
Ambram took to wife Jochabed the daughter of his father's brother, and
she bore to him both Aaron and Moses, and Mariam their sister: and the
years of the life of Ambram were a hundred and thirty-two years.
6.21 And
the sons of Issaar, Core, and Naphec, and Zechri.
6.22 And
the sons of Oziel, Misael, and Elisaphan, and Segri.
6.23 And
Aaron took to himself to wife Elisabeth daughter of Aminadab sister of
Naasson, and she bore to him both Nadab and Abiud, and Eleazar and
Ithamar.
6.24 And
the sons of Core, Asir, and Elkana, and Abiasar, these are the
generations of Core.
6.25 And
Eleazar the son of Aaron took to himself for a wife [one] of the
daughters of Phutiel, and she bore to him Phinees. These are the heads
of the family of the Leites, according to their generations.
6.26 This
is Aaron and Moses, whom God told to bring out the children of Israel
out of the land of Egypt with their forces.
6.27 These
are they that spoke with Pharao king of Egypt, and Aaron himself and
Moses brought out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,
6.28 in the
day in which the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt;
6.29 then
the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, I am the Lord: speak to Pharao king of
Egypt whatsoever I say to thee.
6.30 And
Moses said before the Lord, Behold, I am not able in speech, and how
shall Pharao hearken to me?
▲7.1 And the Lord spoke to
Moses, saying, Behold, I have made thee a god to Pharao, and Aaron thy
brother shall be thy prophet.
7.2 And
thou shalt say to him all things that I charge thee, and Aaron thy
brother shall speak to Pharao, that he should send forth the children
of Israel out of his land.
7.3 And I
will harden the heart of Pharao, and I will multiply my signs and
wonders in the land of Egypt.
7.4 And
Pharao will not hearken to you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt; and
will bring out my people the children of Israel with my power out of
the land of Egypt with great vengeance.
7.5 And all
the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, stretching out my hand
upon Egypt, and I will bring out the children of Israel out of the
midst of them.
7.6 And
Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, so did they.
7.7 And
Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron his brother was eighty-three
years old, when he spoke to Pharao.
7.8 And the
Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
7.9 Now if
Pharao should speak to you, saying, Give us a sign or a wonder, then
shalt thou say to thy brother Aaron, Take thy rod and cast it upon the
ground before Pharao, and before his servants, and it shall become a
serpent.
7.10 And
Moses and Aaron went in before Pharao, and [before] his servants, and
they did so, as the Lord commanded them; and Aaron cast down his rod
before Pharao, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
7.11 But
Pharao called together the wise men of Egypt, and the sorcerers, and
the charmers also of the Egyptians did likewise with their sorceries.
7.12 And
they cast down each his rod, and they became serpents, but the rod of
Aaron swallowed up their rods.
7.13 and
the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he hearkened not to them, as the
Lord charged them.
7.14 and
the Lord said to Moses, The heart of Pharao is made hard, so that he
should not let the people go.
7.15 Go to
Pharao early in the morning: behold, he goes forth to the water; and
thou shalt meet him on the bank of the river, and thou shalt take in
thine hand the rod that was turned into a serpent.
7.16 And
thou shalt say to him, The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to thee,
saying, Send my people away, that they may serve me in the wilderness,
and, behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened.
7.17 These
things saith the Lord: Hereby shalt thou know that I am the Lord:
behold, I strike with the rod that is in my hand on the water which is
in the river, and it shall change it into blood.
7.18 And
the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall stink
thereupon, and the Egyptians shall not be able to drink water from the
river.
7.19 And
the Lord said to Moses, Say to thy brother Aaron, Take thy rod in thy
hand, and stretch forth thy hand over the waters of Egypt, and over
their rivers, and over their canals, and over their ponds, and over all
their standing water, and it shall become blood: and there was blood in
all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and of stone.
7.20 and
Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord commanded them; and [Aaron] having
lifted up [his hand] with his rod, smote the water in the river before
Pharao, and before his servants, and changed all the water in the river
into blood.
7.21 And
the fish in the river died, and the river stank thereupon; and the
Egyptians could not drink water from the river, and the blood was in
all the land of Egypt.
7.22 And
the charmers also of the Egyptians did so with their sorceries; and the
heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, even as
the Lord said.
7.23 And
Pharao turned and entered into his house, nor did he fix his attention
even on this thing.
7.24 And
all the Egyptians dug round about the river, so as to drink water, for
they could not drink water from the river.
7.25 and
seven days were fulfilled after the Lord has smitten the river.
▲8.1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Go in to Pharao, and thou shalt say to him, These things says the Lord:
send forth my people, that they may serve me.
8.2 And if
thou wilt not send them forth, behold, I afflict all thy borders with
frogs:
8.3 and the
river shall teem with frogs, and they shall go up and enter into thy
houses, and into thy bed-chambers, and upon thy beds, and upon the
houses of thy servants, and of thy people and on thy dough, and on
thine ovens.
8.4 And
upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, shall the frogs
come up.
8.5 And the
Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron thy brother, Stretch forth with the
hand thy rod over the rivers, and over the canals, and over the pools,
and bring up the frogs.
8.6 And
Aaron stretched forth his hand over the waters of Egypt, and brought up
the frogs: and the frog was brought up, and covered the land of Egypt.
8.7 And the
charmers of the Egyptians also did likewise with their sorceries, and
brought up the frogs on the land of Egypt.
8.8 And
Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said, Pray for me to the Lord, and
let him take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will send
them away, and they shall sacrifice to the Lord.
8.9 And
Moses said to Pharao, Appoint me [a time] when I shall pray for thee,
and for thy servants, and for thy people, to cause the frogs to
disappear from thee, and from thy people, and from your houses, only in
the river shall they be left behind.
8.10 And he
said, On the morrow: he said therefore, As thou has said; that thou
mayest know, that there is no other [God] but the Lord.
8.11 And
the frogs shall be removed away from thee, and from your houses and
from the villages, and from thy servants, and from thy people, only in
the river they shall be left.
8.12 And
Moses and Aaron went forth from Pharao, and Moses cried to the Lord
concerning the restriction of the frogs, as Pharao appointed him.
8.13 And
the Lord did as Moses said, and the frogs died out of the houses, and
out of the villages, and out of the fields.
8.14 And
they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
8.15 And
when Pharao saw that there was relief, his heart was hardened, and he
did not hearken to them, as the Lord spoke.
8.16 And
the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch forth thy rod with thy
hand and smite the dust of the earth; and there shall be lice both upon
man, and upon quadrupeds, and in all the land of Egypt.
8.17 So
Aaron stretched out his rod with his hand, and smote the dust of the
earth; and the lice were on men and on quadrupeds, and in all the dust
of the earth there were lice.
8.18 And
the charmers also did so with their sorceries, to bring forth the
louse, and they could not. And the lice were both on the men and on the
quadrupeds.
8.19 So the
charmers said to Pharao, This is the finger of God. But the heart of
Pharao was hardened, and he hearkened not to them, as the Lord said.
8.20 And
the Lord said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before
Pharao: and behold, he will go forth to the water, and thou shalt say
to him, These things says the Lord: Send away my people, that they may
serve me in the wilderness.
8.21 And if
thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I send upon thee, and upon thy
servants, and upon thy people, and upon your houses, the dog-fly; and
the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with the dog-fly, even
throughout the land upon which they are.
8.22 and I
will distinguish marvelously in that day the land of Gesem, on which my
people dwell, in which the dog-fly shall not be: that thou mayest know
that I am the Lord the God of all the earth.
8.23 And I
will put a difference between my people and thy people, and on the
morrow shall this be on the land. And the Lord did thus.
8.24 And
the dog-fly came in abundance into the houses of Pharao, and into the
houses of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt; and the land
was destroyed by the dog-fly.
8.25 And
Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go and sacrifice to the Lord
your God in the land.
8.26 And
Moses said, It cannot be so, for we shall sacrifice to the Lord our God
the abominations of the Egyptians; for if we sacrifice the abominations
of the Egyptians before them, we shall be stoned.
8.27 We
will go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we will
sacrifice to the Lord our God, as the Lord said to us.
8.28 And
Pharao said, I [will] let you go, and do ye sacrifice to your God in
the wilderness, but do not go very far away: pray then for me to the
Lord.
8.29 And
Moses said, I then will go forth from thee and pray to God, and the
dog-fly shall depart both from thy servants, and from thy people
to-morrow. Do not thou, Pharao, deceive again, so as not to send the
people away to do sacrifice to the Lord.
8.30 And
Moses went out from Pharao, and prayed to God.
8.31 And
the Lord did as Moses said, and removed the dog-fly from Pharao, and
from his servants, and from his people, and there was not one left.
8.32 And
Pharao hardened his heart, even on this occasion, and he would not send
the people away.
▲9.1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Go in to Pharao, and thou shalt say to him, These things saith the Lord
God of the Hebrews; Send my people away that they may serve me.
9.2 If
however thou wilt not send my people away, but yet detainest them:
9.3 behold,
the hand of the Lord shall be upon thy cattle in the fields, both on
the horses, and on the asses, and on the camels and oxen and sheep, a
very great mortality.
9.4 And I
will make a marvelous distinction in that time between the cattle of
the Egyptians, and the cattle of the children of Israel: nothing shall
die of all that is of the children's of Israel.
9.5 And God
fixed a limit, saying, To-morrow the Lord will do this thing on the
land.
9.6 And the
Lord did this thing on the next day, and all the cattle of the
Egyptians died, but of the cattle of the children of Israel there died
not one.
9.7 And
when Pharao saw, that of all the cattle of the children of Israel there
died not one, the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not let the
people go.
9.8 And the
Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, Take you handfuls of ashes of
the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward heaven before Pharao, and
before his servants.
9.9 And let
it become dust over all the land of Egypt, and there shall be upon men
and upon beasts sore blains breaking forth both on men and on beasts,
in all the land of Egypt.
9.10 So he
took of the ashes of the furnace before Pharao, and Moses scattered it
toward heaven, and it became sore blains breaking forth both on men and
on beasts.
9.11 And
the sorcerers could not stand before Moses because of the sores, for
the sores were on the sorcerers, and in all the land of Egypt.
9.12 And
the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, and he hearkened not to them, as the
Lord appointed.
9.13 And
the Lord said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before
Pharao; and thou shalt say to him, These things saith the Lord God of
the Hebrews, Send away my people that they may serve me.
9.14 For at
this present time do I send forth all my plagues into thine heart, and
the heart of thy servants and of thy people; that thou mayest know that
there is not another such as I in all the earth.
9.15 For
now I will stretch forth my hand and smite thee and kill thy people,
and thou shalt be consumed from off the earth.
9.16 And
for this purpose hast thou been preserved, that I might display in thee
my strength, and that my name might be published in all the earth.
9.17 Dost
thou then yet exert thyself to hinder my people, so as not to let them
go?
9.18
Behold, to-morrow at this hour I will rain a very great hail, such as
has not been in Egypt, from the time it was created until this day.
9.19 Now
then hasten to gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the fields;
for all the men and cattle as many as shall be found in the fields, and
shall not enter into a house, (but the hail shall fall upon them,)
shall die.
9.20 He of
the servants of Pharao that feared the word of the Lord, gathered his
cattle into the houses.
9.21 And he
that did not attend in his mind to the word of the Lord, left the
cattle in the fields.
9.22 And
the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out thine hand to heaven, and there
shall be hail on all the land of Egypt, both on the men and on the
cattle, and on all the herbage on the land.
9.23 And
Moses stretched forth his hand to heaven, and the Lord sent thunderings
and hail; and the fire ran along upon the ground, and the Lord rained
hail on all the land of Egypt.
9.24 So
there was hail and flaming fire mingled with hail; and the hail was
very great, such as was not in Egypt, from the time there was a nation
upon it.
9.25 And
the hail smote in all the land of Egypt both man and beast, and the
hail smote all the grass in the field, and the hail broke in pieces all
the trees in the field.
9.26 Only
in the land of Gesem where the children of Israel were, the hail was
not.
9.27 And
Pharao sent and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned
this time: the Lord [is] righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
9.28 Pray
then for me to the Lord, and let him cause the thunderings of God to
cease, and the hail and the fire, and I will send you forth and ye
shall remain no longer.
9.29 And
Moses said to him, When I shall have departed from the city, I will
stretch out my hands to the Lord, and the thunderings shall cease, and
the hail and the rain shall be no longer, that thou mayest know that
the earth [is] the Lord's.
9.30 But as
for thee and thy servants, I know that ye have not yet feared the Lord.
9.31 And
the flax and the barley were smitten, for the barley was advanced, and
the flax was seeding.
9.32 But
the wheat and the rye were not smitten, for they were late.
9.33 And
Moses went forth from Pharao out of the city, and stretched ut his
hands to the Lord, and the thunders ceased and the hail, and the rain
did not drop on the earth.
9.34 And
when Pharao saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders ceased, he
continued to sin; and [he] hardened his heart, and the heart of his
servants.
9.35 And
the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not send forth the
children of Israel, as the Lord said to Moses.
▲10.1 And the Lord spoke to
Moses, saying, Go in to Pharao: for I have hardened his heart and the
heart of his servants, that these signs may come upon them; in order
10.2 that
ye may relate in the ears of your children, and to your children's
children, in how many things I have mocked the Egyptians, and my
wonders which I wrought among them; and ye shall know that I [am] the
Lord.
10.3 And
Moses and Aaron went in before Pharao, and they said to him, These
things saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long dost thou refuse to
reverence me? Send my people away, that they may serve me.
10.4 But if
thou wilt not send my people away, behold, at this hour to-morrow I
will bring an abundance of locusts upon all thy coasts.
10.5 And
they shall cover the face of the earth, and thou shalt not be able to
see the earth; and they shall devour all that is left of the abundance
of the earth, which the hail has left you, and shall devour every tree
that grows for you on the land.
10.6 And
thy houses shall be filled, and the houses of thy servants, and all the
houses in all the land of the Egyptians; things which thy fathers have
never seen, nor their forefathers, from the day that they were upon the
earth until this day. And Moses turned away and departed from Pharao.
10.7 And
the servants of Pharao say to him, How long shall this be a snare to
us? send away the men, that they may serve their God; wilt thou know
that Egypt is destroyed?
10.8 And
they brought back both Moses and Aaron to Pharao; and he said to them,
Go and serve the Lord your God; but who are they that are going with
you?
10.9 And
Moses said, We will go with the young and the old, with or sons, and
daughters, and sheep, and oxen, for it is a feast of the Lord.
10.10 And
he said to them, So let the Lord be with you: as I [will] send you
away, [must I send away] you store also? see that evil is attached to
you.
10.11 Not
so, but let the men go and serve God, for this ye yourselves seek; and
they cast them out from the presence of Pharao.
10.12 And
the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt,
and let the locust come up on the land, and it shall devour every herb
of the land, and all the fruit of the trees, which the hail left.
10.13 And
Moses lifted up his rod towards heaven, and the Lord brought a south
wind upon the earth, all that day and all that night: the morning
dawned, and the south wind brought up the locusts,
10.14 and
brought them up over all the land of Egypt. And they rested in very
great abundance over all the borders of Egypt. Before them there were
not such locusts, neither after them shall there be.
10.15 And
they covered the face of the earth, and the land was wasted, and they
devoured all the herbage of the land, and all the fruit of the trees,
which was left by the hail: there was no green thing left on the trees,
nor on all the herbage of the field, in all the land of Egypt.
10.16 And
Pharao hasted to call Moses and Aaron, saying, I have sinned before the
Lord your God, and against you;
10.17
pardon therefore my sin yet this time, and pray to the Lord your God,
and let him take away from me this death.
10.18 And
Moses went forth from Pharao, and prayed to God.
10.19 And
the Lord brought in the opposite direction a strong wind from the sea,
and took up the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea, and there was
not one locust left in all the land of Egypt.
10.20 And
the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, and he did not send away the
children of Israel.
10.21 And
the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand to heaven, and let there
be darkness over the land of Egypt-- darkness that may be felt.
10.22 And
Moses stretched out his hand to heaven, and there was darkness very
black, even a storm over all the land of Egypt three days.
10.23 And
for three days no man saw his brother, and no man rose up from his bed
for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in all the
places where they were.
10.24 And
Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go, serve the Lord your God,
only leave your sheep and your oxen, and let your store depart with you.
10.25 And
Moses said, Nay, but thou shalt give to us whole burnt-offerings and
sacrifices, which we will sacrifice to the Lord our God.
10.26 And
our cattle shall go with us, and we will not leave a hoof behind, for
of them we will take to serve the Lord our God: but we know not in what
manner we shall serve the Lord our God, until we arrive there.
10.27 But
the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, and he would not let them go.
10.28 And
Pharao says, Depart from me, beware of seeing my face again, for in
what day thou shalt appear before me, thou shalt die.
10.29 And
Moses says, Thou hast said, I will not appear in thy presence again.
▲11.1 And the Lord said to Moses,
I will yet bring one plague upon Pharao and upon Egypt, and after that
he will send you forth thence; and whenever he sends you forth with
every thing, he will indeed drive you out.
11.2 Speak
therefore secretly in the ears of the people, and let every one ask of
his neighbour jewels of silver and gold, and raiment.
11.3 And
the Lord gave his people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, and they
lent to them; and the man Moses was very great before the Egyptians,
and before Pharao, and before his servants.
11.4 And
Moses said, These things saith the Lord, About midnight I go forth into
the midst of Egypt.
11.5 And
every first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first-born of
Pharao that sits on the throne, even to the first-born of the
woman-servant that is by the mill, and to the first-born of all cattle.
11.6 And
there shall be a great cry through all the land of Egypt, such as has
not been, and such shall not be repeated any more.
11.7 But
among all the children of Israel shall not a dog snarl with his tongue,
either at man or beast; that thou mayest know how wide a distinction
the Lord will make between the Egyptians and Israel.
11.8 And
all these thy servants shall come down to me, and do me reverence,
saying, Go forth, thou and all the people over whom thou presidest, and
afterwards I will go forth.
11.9 And
Moses went forth from Pharao with wrath. And the Lord said to Moses,
Pharao will not hearken to you, that I may greatly multiply my signs
and wonders in the land [of] Egypt.
11.10 And
Moses and Aaron wrought all these signs and wonders in the land [of]
Egypt before Pharao; and the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, and he
did not hearken to send forth the children of Israel out of the land of
Egypt.
▲12.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses
and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
12.2 This
month [shall be] to you the beginning of months: it is the first to you
among the months of the year.
12.3 Speak
to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, On the tenth
of this month let them take each man a lamb according to the houses of
their families, every man a lamb for his household.
12.4 And if
they be few in a household, so that there are not enough for the lamb,
he shall take with himself his neighbour that lives near to him,-- as
to the number of souls, every one according to that which suffices him
shall make a reckoning for the lamb.
12.5 It
shall be to you a lamb unblemished, a male of a year old: ye shall take
it of the lambs and the kids.
12.6 And it
shall be kept by you till the fourteenth of this month, and all the
multitude of the congregation of the children of Israel shall kill it
toward evening.
12.7 And
they shall take of the blood, and shall put it on the two door-posts,
and on the lintel, in the houses in which soever they shall eat them.
12.8 And
they shall eat the flesh in this night roast with fire, and they shall
eat unleavened [bread] with bitter herbs.
12.9 Ye
shall not eat of it raw nor sodden in water, but only roast with fire,
the head with the feet and the appurtenances.
12.10
Nothing shall be left of it till the morning, and a bone of it ye shall
not break; but that which is left of it till the morning ye shall burn
with fire.
12.11 And
thus shall ye eat it: your loins girded, and your sandals on your feet,
and your staves in your hands, and ye shall eat it in haste. It is a
passover to the Lord.
12.12 and I
will go throughout the land of Egypt in that night, and will smite
every first-born in the land of Egypt both man and beast, and on all
the gods of Egypt will I execute vengeance: I [am] the Lord.
12.13 And
the blood shall be for a sign to you on the houses in which ye are, and
I will see the blood, and will protect you, and there shall not be on
you the plague of destruction, when I smite in the land of Egypt.
12.14 And
this day shall be to you a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to
the Lord through all your generations; ye shall keep it a feast for a
perpetual ordinance.
12.15 Seven
days ye shall eat unleavened bread, and from the first day ye shall
utterly remove leaven from your houses: whoever shall eat leaven, that
soul shall be utterly destroyed from Israel, from the first day until
the seventh day.
12.16 And
the first day shall be called holy, and the seventh day shall be a holy
convocation to you: ye shall do no servile work on them, only as many
things as will [necessarily] be done by every soul, this only shall be
done by you.
12.17 And
ye shall keep this commandment, for on this day will I bring out your
force out of the land of Egypt; and ye shall make this day a perpetual
ordinance for you throughout your generations.
12.18
Beginning the fourteenth day of the first month, ye shall eat
unleavened bread from evening, till the twenty-first day of the month,
till evening.
12.19 Seven
days leaven shall not be found in your houses; whosoever shall eat
anything leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of
Israel, both among the occupiers of the land and the original
inhabitants.
12.20 Ye
hall eat nothing leavened, but in every habitation of your ye shall eat
unleavened bread.
12.21 And
Moses called all the elders of the children of Israel, and said to
them, Go away and take to yourselves a lamb according to your kindreds,
and slay the passover.
12.22 And
ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and having dipped it into some of the
blood that is by the door, ye shall touch the lintel, and [shall put
it] upon both door-posts, even of the blood which is by the door; but
ye shall not go out every one from the door of his house till the
morning.
12.23 And
the Lord shall pass by to smite the Egyptians, and shall see the blood
upon the lintel, and upon both the door-posts; and the Lord shall pass
by the door, and shall not suffer the destroyer to enter into your
houses to smite [you].
12.24 And
keep ye this thing as an ordinance for thyself and for thy children for
ever.
12.25 And
if ye should enter into the land, which the Lord shall give you, as he
has spoken, keep this service.
12.26 And
it shall come to pass, if your sons say to you, What is this service?
12.27 that
ye shall say to them, This passover is a sacrifice to the Lord, as he
defended the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote
the Egyptians, but delivered our houses.
12.28 And
the people bowed and worshiped. And the children of Israel departed and
did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
12.29 And
it came to pass at midnight that the Lord smote all the first-born in
the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharao that sat on the
throne, to the first-born of the captive-maid in the dungeon, and the
first-born of all cattle.
12.30 And
Pharao rose up by night, and his servants, and all the Egyptians; and
there was a great cry in all the land of Egypt, for there was not a
house in which there was not one dead.
12.31 And
Pharao called Moses and Aaron by night, and said to them, Rise and
depart from my people, both ye and the children of Israel. Go and serve
the Lord your God, even as ye say.
12.32 And
take with you your sheep, and your oxen: bless me also, I pray you.
12.33 And
the Egyptians constrained the people, so that they cast them out of the
land with haste, for they said, We all shall die.
12.34 And
the people took their dough before their meal was leavened, bound up
[as it was] in their garments, on their shoulders.
12.35 And
the children of Israel did as Moses commanded them, and they asked of
the Egyptians articles of silver and gold and apparel.
12.36 And
the Lord gave his people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, and they
lent to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.
12.37 And
the children Israel departed from Ramesses to Socchoth, to [the full
number of] six hundred thousand footmen, even men, besides the baggage.
12.38 And a
great mixed [company] went up with them, and sheep and oxen and very
much cattle.
12.39 And
they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt, unleavened cakes,
for it had not been leavened; for the Egyptians cast them out, and they
could not remain, neither did they prepare provision for themselves for
the journey.
12.40 And
the sojourning of the children of Israel, while they sojourned in the
land of Egypt and the land of Chanaan, [was] four hundred and thirty
years.
12.41 And
it came to pass after the four hundred and thirty years, all the forces
of the Lord came forth out of the land of Egypt by night.
12.42 It is
a watch kept to the Lord, so that he should bring them out of the land
of Egypt; that very night is a watch kept to the Lord, so that it
should be to all the children of Israel to their generations.
12.43 And
the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the passover: no
stranger shall eat of it.
12.44 And
every slave or servant bought with money-- him thou shalt circumcise,
and then shall he eat of it.
12.45 A
sojourner or hireling shall not eat of it.
12.46 In
one house shall it be eaten, and ye shall not carry of the flesh out
from the house; and a bone of it ye shall not break.
12.47 All
the congregation of the children of Israel shall keep it.
12.48 An if
any proselyte shall come to you to keep the passover to the Lord, thou
shalt circumcise every male of him, and then shall he approach to
sacrifice it, and he shall be even as the original inhabitant of the
land; no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
12.49 There
shall be one law to the native, and to the proselyte coming among you.
12.50 And
the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron for
them, so they did.
12.51 And
it came to pass in that day that the Lord brought out the children of
Israel from the land of Egypt with their forces.
▲13.1 And the Lord spoke to
Moses, saying,
13.2
Sanctify to me every first-born, first produced, opening every womb
among the children of Israel both of man and beast: it is mine.
13.3 And
Moses said to the people, Remember this day, in which ye came forth out
of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, for with a strong
hand the Lord brought you forth thence; and leaven shall not be eaten.
13.4 For on
this day ye go forth in the month of new [corn].
13.5 And it
shall come to pass when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into
the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and
Evites, and Jebusites, and Gergesites, and Pherezites, which he sware
to thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that
thou shalt perform this service in this month.
13.6 Six
days ye shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a feast
to the Lord.
13.7 Seven
days shall ye eat unleavened bread; nothing leavened shall be seen with
thee, neither shalt thou have leaven in all thy borders.
13.8 And
thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying, Therefore the Lord dealt
thus with me, as I was going out of Egypt.
13.9 And it
shall be to thee a sign upon thy hand and a memorial before thine eyes,
that the law of the Lord may be in thy mouth, for with a strong hand
the Lord God brought thee out of Egypt.
13.10 And
preserve ye this law according to the times of the seasons, from year
to year.
13.11 And
it shall come to pass when the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the
land of the Chananites, as he sware to thy fathers, and shall give it
thee,
13.12 that
thou shalt set apart every [offspring] opening the womb, the males to
the Lord, every one that opens the womb out of the herds or among thy
cattle, as many as thou shalt have: thou shalt sanctify the males to
the Lord.
13.13 Every
[offspring] opening the womb of the ass thou shalt change for a sheep;
and if thou wilt not change it, thou shalt redeem it: every first-born
of man of thy sons shalt thou redeem.
13.14 And
if thy son should ask thee hereafter, saying, What is this? then thou
shalt say to him, With a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage.
13.15 And
when Pharao hardened [his heart so as not] to send us away, he slew
every first-born in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of man and
the first-born of beast; therefore do I sacrifice every [offspring]
that opens the womb, the males to the Lord, and every first-born of my
sons I will redeem.
13.16 And
it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and immovable before thine eyes,
for with a strong hand the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.
13.17 And
when Pharao sent forth the people, God led them not by the way of the
land of the Phylistines, because it was near; for God said, Lest at any
time the people repent when they see war, and return to Egypt.
13.18 And
God led the people round by the way to the wilderness, to the Red Sea:
and in the fifth generation the children of Israel went up out of the
land of Egypt.
13.19 And
Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had solemnly adjured
the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall
carry up my bones hence with you.
13.20 And
the children of Israel departed from Socchoth, and encamped in Othom by
the wilderness.
13.21 And
God led them, in the day by a pillar of cloud, to show them the way,
and in the night by a pillar of fire.
13.22 And
the pillar of cloud failed not by day, nor the pillar of fire by night,
before all the people.
▲14.1 And the Lord spoke to
Moses, saying,
14.2 Speak
to the children of Israel, and let them turn and encamp before the
village, between Magdol and the sea, opposite Beel-sepphon: before them
shalt thou encamp by the sea.
14.3 And
Pharao will say to his people, As for these children of Israel, they
are wandering in the land, for the wilderness has shut them in.
14.4 And I
will harden the heart of Pharao, and he shall pursue after them; and I
will be glorified in Pharao, and in all his host, and all the Egyptians
shall know that I am the Lord. And they did so.
14.5 And it
was reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled: and
the heart of Pharao was turned, and that of his servants against the
people; and they said, What is this that we have done, to let the
children of Israel go, so that they should not serve us?
14.6 So
Pharao yoked his chariots, and led off all his people with himself:
14.7 having
also taken six hundred chosen chariots, and all the cavalry of the
Egyptians, and rulers over all.
14.8 And
the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao king of Egypt, and of his
servants, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children
of Israel went forth with a high hand.
14.9 And
the Egyptians pursued after them, and found them encamped by the sea;
and all the cavalry and the chariots of Pharao, and the horsemen, and
his host [were] before the village, over against Beel-sepphon.
14.10 And
Pharao approached, and the children of Israel having looked up, beheld,
and the Egyptians encamped behind them: and they were very greatly
terrified, and the children of Israel cried to the Lord;
14.11 and
said to Moses, Because there were no graves in the land of Egypt, hast
thou brought us forth to slay [us] in the wilderness? What is this that
thou hast done to us, having brought us out of Egypt?
14.12 Is
not this the word which we spoke to thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone
that we may serve the Egyptians? for it is better for us to serve the
Egyptians than to die in this wilderness.
14.13 And
Moses said to the people, Be of good courage: stand and see the
salvation which is from the Lord, which he will work for us this day;
for as ye have seen the Egyptians 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 to Moses, Why criest thou to me? speak to the children of
Israel, and let them proceed.
14.16 And
do thou lift up thy rod, and stretch forth thy hand over the sea, and
divide it, and let the children of Israel enter into the midst of the
sea on the dry land.
14.17 And
lo! I will harden the heart of Pharao and of all the Egyptians, and
they shall go in after them; and I will be glorified upon Pharao, and
on all his host, and on his chariots and his horses.
14.18 And
all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I am glorified
upon Pharao and upon his chariots and his horses.
14.19 And
the angel of God that went before the camp of the children of Israel
removed and went behind, and the pillar of the cloud also removed from
before them and stood behind them.
14.20 And
it went between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and
stood; and there was darkness and blackness; and the night passed, and
they came not near to one another during the whole night.
14.21 And
Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the Lord carried back
the sea with a strong south wind all the night, and made the sea dry,
and the water was divided.
14.22 And
the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry land,
and the water of it was a wall on the right hand and a wall on the left.
14.23 And
the Egyptians pursued them and went in after them, and every horse of
Pharao, and his chariots, and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.
14.24 And
it came to pass in the morning watch that the Lord looked forth on the
camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and
troubled the camp of the Egyptians,
14.25 and
bound the axle-trees of their chariots, and caused them to go with
difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of
Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.
14.26 And
the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth tine hand over the sea, and let
the water be turned back to its place, and let it cover the Egyptians
[coming] both upon the chariots and the riders.
14.27 And
Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the water returned to
its place toward day; and the Egyptians fled from the water, and the
Lord shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
14.28 and
the water returned and covered the chariots and the riders, and all the
forces of Pharao, who entered after them into the sea: and there was
not left of them even one.
14.29 But
the children of Israel went along dry land in the midst of the sea, and
the water was to them a wall on the right hand, and a wall on the left.
14.30 So
the Lord delivered Israel in that day from the hand of the Egyptians,
and Israel saw the Egyptians dead by the shore of the sea.
14.31 And
Israel saw the mighty hand, the [things] which the Lord did to the
Egyptians; and the people feared the Lord, and they believed God and
Moses his servant.
▲15.1 Then sang Moses and the
children of Israel this song to God, and spoke, saying, Let us sing to
the Lord, for he is very greatly glorified: horse and rider he has
thrown into the sea.
15.2 He was
to me a helper and protector for salvation: this is my God and I will
glorify him; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
15.3 The
Lord bringing wars to nought, the Lord [is] his name.
15.4 He has
cast the chariots of Pharao and his host into the sea, the chosen
mounted captains: they were swallowed up in the Red Sea.
15.5 He
covered them with the sea: they sank to the depth like a stone.
15.6 Thy
right hand, O God, has been glorified in strength; thy right hand, O
God, has broken the enemies.
15.7 And in
the abundance of thy glory thou hast broken the adversaries to pieces:
thou sentest forth thy wrath, it devoured them as stubble.
15.8 And by
the breath of thine anger the water parted asunder; te waters were
congealed as a wall, the waves were congealed in the midst of the sea.
15.9 The
enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoils; I
will satisfy my soul, I will destroy with my sword, my hand shall have
dominion.
15.10 Thou
sentest forth thy wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in
the mighty water.
15.11 Who
is like to thee among the gods, O Lord? who is like to thee? glorified
in holiness, marvelous in glories, doing wonders.
15.12 Thou
stretchedst forth thy right hand, the earth swallowed them up.
15.13 Thou
hast guided in thy righteousness this thy people whom thou hast
redeemed, by thy strength thou hast called them into thy holy
resting-place.
15.14 The
nations heard and were angry, pangs have seized on the dwellers among
the Phylistines.
15.15 Then
the princes of Edom, and the chiefs of the Moabites hasted; trembling
took hold upon them, all the inhabitants of Chanaan melted away.
15.16 Let
trembling and fear fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm, let
them become as stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord, till this thy
people pass over, whom thou hast purchased.
15.17 Bring
them in and plant them in the mountain of their inheritance, in thy
prepared habitation, which thou, O Lord, hast prepared; the sanctuary,
O Lord, which thine hands have made ready.
15.18 The
Lord reigns for ever and ever and ever.
15.19 For
the horse of Pharao went in with the chariots and horsemen into the
sea, and the Lord brought upon them the water of the sea, but the
children of Israel walked through dry land in the midst of the sea.
15.20 And
Mariam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, having taken a timbrel in
her hand-- then there went forth all the women after her with timbrels
and dances.
15.21 And
Mariam led them, saying, Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been very
greatly glorified: the horse and rider has he cast into the sea.
15.22 So
Moses brought up the children of Israel from the Red Sea, and brought
them into the wilderness of Sur; and they went three days in he
wilderness, and found no water to drink.
15.23 and
they came to Merrha, and could not drink of Merrha, for it was bitter;
therefore he named the name of that place, Bitterness.
15.24 And
the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
15.25 And
Moses cried to the Lord, and the Lord shewed him a tree, and he cast it
into the water, and the water was sweetened: there he established to
him ordinances and judgments, and there he proved him,
15.26 and
said, If thou wilt indeed hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and do
things pleasing before him, and wilt hearken to his commands, and keep
all his ordinances, no disease which I have brought upon the Egyptians
will I bring upon thee, for I am the Lord thy God that heals thee.
15.27 And
they came to Aelim, and there were there twelve fountains of water, and
seventy stems of palm-trees; and they encamped there by the waters.
▲16.1 And they departed from
Aelim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the
wilderness of Sin, which is between Aelim and Sina; and on the
fifteenth day, in the second month after their departure from the land
of Egypt,
16.2 all
the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and
Aaron.
16.3 And
the children of Israel said to them, Would we had died smitten by the
Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, and ate bread
to satiety! for ye have brought us out into this wilderness, to slay
all this congregation with hunger.
16.4 And
the Lord said to Moses, Behold, I [will] rain bread upon you out of
heaven: and the people shall go forth, and they shall gather their
daily portion for the day, that I may try them whether they will walk
in my law or not.
16.5 And it
shall come to pass on the sixth day that they shall prepare whatsoever
they have brought in, and it shall be double of what they shall have
gathered for the day, daily.
16.6 And
Moses and Aaron said to all the congregation of the children of Israel,
At even ye shall know that the Lord has brought you out of the land of
Egypt;
16.7 and in
the morning ye shall see the glory of the Lord, inasmuch as he hears
your murmuring against God; and who are we, that ye continue to murmur
against us?
16.8 And
Moses said, [This shall be] when the Lord gives you in the evening
flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to satiety, because the Lord has
heard your murmuring, which ye murmur against us: and what are we? for
your murmuring is not against us, but against God.
16.9 And
Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the children of
Israel, Come near before God; for he has heard your murmuring.
16.10 And
when Aaron spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and
they turned toward the wilderness, then the glory of the Lord appeared
in a cloud.
16.11 And
the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
16.12 I
have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel: speak to them,
saying, Towards evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall
be satisfied with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God.
16.13 And
it was evening, and quails came up and covered the camp:
16.14 in
the morning it came to pass as the dew ceased round about the camp,
that, behold, on the face of the wilderness [was] a small thing like
white coriander seed, as frost upon the earth.
16.15 And
when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is
this? for they knew not what it was; and Moses said to them,
16.16 This
[is] the bread which the Lord has given you to eat. This is that which
the Lord has appointed: gather of it each man for his family, a homer
for each person, according to the number of your souls, gather each of
you with his fellow-lodgers.
16.17 And
the children of Israel did so, and gathered some much and some less.
16.18 And
having measured the homer [full], he that gathered much had nothing
over, and he that had gathered less had no lack; each gathered
according to the need of those who belonged to him.
16.19 And
Moses said to them, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
16.20 But
they did not hearken to Moses, bu some left of it till the morning; and
it bred worms and stank: and Moses was irritated with them.
16.21 And
they gathered it every morning, each man what he needed, and when the
sun waxed hot it melted.
16.22 And
it came to pass on the sixth day, they gathered double what was needed,
two homers for one [man]; and all the chiefs of the synagogue went in
and reported it to Moses.
16.23 And
Moses said to them, Is not this the word which the Lord spoke?
To-morrow [is] the sabbath, a holy rest to the Lord: bake that ye will
bake, and seethe that ye will seethe, and all that is over leave to be
laid by for the morrow.
16.24 And
they left of it till the morning, as Moses commanded them; and it stank
not, neither was there a worm in it.
16.25 And
Moses said, Eat [that] to-day, for to-day is a sabbath to the Lord:
[it] shall not be found in the plain.
16.26 Six
days ye shall gather it, and on the seventh day is a sabbath, for there
shall be none on that [day].
16.27 And
it came to pass on the seventh day [that] some of the people went forth
to gather, and found none.
16.28 And
the Lord said to Moses, How long are ye unwilling to hearken to my
commands and my law?
16.29 See,
for the Lord has given you this day [as] the sabbath, therefore he has
given you on the sixth day the bread of two days: ye shall sit each of
you in your houses; let no one go forth from his place on the seventh
day.
16.30 And
the people kept sabbath on the seventh day.
16.31 And
the children of Israel called the name of it Man; and it was as white
coriander seed, and the taste of it as a wafer with honey.
16.32 And
Moses said, This [is] the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Fill an
homer with manna, to be laid up for your generations; that they may see
the bread which ye ate in the wilderness, when the Lord led you forth
out of the land of Egypt.
16.33 And
Moses said to Aaron, Take a golden pot, and cast into it one full homer
of manna; and thou shalt lay it up before God, to be kept for your
generations,
16.34 as
the Lord commanded Moses: and Aaron laid it up before the testimony to
be kept.
16.35 And
the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to the
land they ate the manna, until they came to the region of Phoenicia.
16.36 Now
the homer was the tenth part of three measures.
▲17.1 And all the congregation of
the children of Israel departed from the wilderness of Sin, according
to their encampments, by the word of the Lord; and they encamped in
Raphidin: and there was no water for the people to drink.
17.2 And
the people reviled Moses, saying, Give us water, that we may drink; and
Moses said to them, Why do ye revile me, and why tempt ye the Lord?
17.3 And
the people thirsted there for water, and there the people murmured
against Moses, saying, Why is this? hast thou brought us up out of
Egypt to slay us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
17.4 And
Moses cried to the Lord, saying, What shall I do to this people? yet a
little while and they will stone me.
17.5 And
the Lord said to Moses, Go before this people, and take to thyself of
the elders of the people; and the rod with which thou smotest the
river, take in thine hand, and thou shalt go.
17.6
Behold, I stand there before thou [come], on the rock in Choreb, and
thou shalt smite the rock, and water shall come out from it, and the
people shall drink. And Moses did so before the sons of Israel.
17.7 And he
called the name of that place, Temptation, and Reviling, because of the
reviling of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord,
saying, Is the Lord among us or not?
17.8 And
Amalec came and fought with Israel in Raphidin.
17.9 And
Moses said to Joshua, Choose out for thyself mighty men, and go forth
and set the army in array against Amalec to-morrow; and, behold, I
[shall] stand on the top of the hill, and the rod of God [will be] in
my hand.
17.10 And
Joshua did as Moses said to him, and he went out and set the army in
array against Amalec, and Moses and Aaron and Or went up to the top of
the hill.
17.11 And
it came to pass, when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed; and
when he let down his hands, Amalec prevailed.
17.12 But
the hands of Moses were heavy, and they took a stone and put it under
him, and he sat upon it; and Aaron and Or supported his hands one on
this side and the other on that, and the hands of Moses were supported
till the going down of the sun.
17.13 And
Joshua routed Amalec and all his people with the slaughter of the sword.
17.14 And
the Lord said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and speak
[this] in the ears of Joshua; for I will utterly blot out the memorial
of Amalec from under heaven.
17.15 And
Moses built an altar to the Lord, and called the name of it, The Lord
my Refuge.
17.16 For
with a secret hand the Lord wages war upon Amalec to all generations.
▲18.1 And Jothor the priest of
Madiam, the father-in-law of Moses, heard of all that the Lord did to
his people Israel; for the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt.
18.2 And
Jothor the father-in-law of Moses, took Sepphora the wife of Moses
after she had been sent away,
18.3 and
her two sons: the name of the one was Gersam, [his father] saying, I
was a sojourner in a strange land;--
18.4 and
the name of the second Eliezer, saying, For the God of my father [is]
my helper, and he has rescued me out of the hand of Pharao.
18.5 And
Jothor the father-in-law of Moses, and his sons and his wife, went
forth to Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped on the mount of
God.
18.6 And it
was told Moses, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law Jothor is coming to
thee, and thy wife and two sons with him.
18.7 And
Moses went forth to meet his father-in-law, and did him reverence, and
kissed him, and they embraced each other, and he brought them into the
tent.
18.8 And
Moses related to his father-in-law all things that the Lord did to
Pharao and all the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the labour that
had befallen them in the way, and that the Lord had rescued them out of
the hand of Pharao, and out of the hand of the Egyptians.
18.9 And
Jothor was amazed at all the good things which the Lord did to them,
forasmuch as he rescued them out of the hand of the Egyptians and out
of the hand of Pharao.
18.10 And
Jothor said, Blessed be the Lord, because he has rescued them out of
the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharao.
18.11 Now
know I that the Lord is great above all gods, because of this, wherein
they attacked them.
18.12 And
Jothor the father-in-law of Moses took whole burnt-offerings and
sacrifices for God, for Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat
bread with the father-in-law of Moses before God.
18.13 And
it came to pass after the morrow that Moses sat to judge the people,
and all the people stood by Moses from morning till evening.
18.14 And
Jothor having seen all that [Moses] did to the people, says, What is
this that thou doest to the people? wherefore sittest thou alone, and
all the people stand by thee from morning till evening?
18.15 And
Moses says to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to seek
judgment from God.
18.16 For
whenever there is a dispute among them, and they come to me, I give
judgment upon each, and I teach them the ordinances of God and his law.
18.17 And
the father-in-law of Moses said to him, Thou dost not this thing
rightly,
18.18 thou
wilt wear away with intolerable weariness, both those and all this
people which is with thee: this thing is hard, thou wilt not be able to
endure it thyself alone.
18.19 Now
then hearken to me, and I will advise thee, and God shall be with thee:
be thou to the people in the things pertaining to God, and thou shalt
bring their matters to God.
18.20 And
thou shalt testify to them the ordinances of God and his law, and thou
shalt shew to them the ways in which they shall walk, and the works
which they shall do.
18.21 And
do thou look out for thyself out of all the people able men, fearing
God, righteous men, hating pride, and thou shalt set over the people
captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and captains of
fifties, and captains of tens.
18.22 And
they shall judge the people at all times, and the too burdensome matter
they shall bring to thee, but they shall judge the smaller cases; so
they shall relieve thee and help thee.
18.23 If
thou wilt do this thing, God shall strengthen thee, and thou shalt be
able to attend, and all this people shall come with peace into their
own place.
18.24 And
Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did whatsoever
he said to him.
18.25 And
Moses chose out able men out of all Israel, and he made them captains
of thousands and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties and
captains of tens over the people.
18.26 And
they judged the people at all times; and every too burdensome matter
they brought to Moses, but every light matter they judged themselves.
18.27 And
Moses dismissed his father-in-law, and he returned to his own land.
▲19.1 And in the third month of
the departure of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, on
the same day, they came into the wilderness of Sina.
19.2 And
they departed from Raphidin, and came into the wilderness of Sina, and
there Israel encamped before the mountain.
19.3 And
Moses went up to the mount of God, and God called him out of the
mountain, saying, These things shalt thou say to the house of Jacob,
and thou shalt report them to the children of Israel.
19.4 Ye
have seen all that I have done to the Egyptians, and I took you up as
upon eagles' wings, and I brought you near to myself.
19.5 And
now if ye will indeed hear my voice, and keep my covenant, ye shall be
to me a peculiar people above all nations; for the whole earth is mine.
19.6 And ye
shall be to me a royal priesthood and a holy nation: these words shalt
thou speak to the children of Israel.
19.7 And
Moses came and called the elders of the people, and he set before them
all these words, which God appointed them.
19.8 And
all the people answered with one accord, and said, All things that God
has spoken, we will do and hearken to: and Moses reported these words
to God.
19.9 And
the Lord said to Moses, Lo! I come to thee in a pillar of a cloud, that
the people may hear me speaking to thee, and may believe thee for ever:
and Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord.
19.10 And
the Lord said to Moses, Go down and solemnly charge the people, and
sanctify them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments.
19.11 And
let them be ready against the third day, for on the third day the Lord
will descend upon mount Sina before all the people.
19.12 And
thou shalt separate the people round about, saying, Take heed to
yourselves that ye go not up into the mountain, nor touch any part of
it: every one that touches the mountain shall surely die.
19.13 A
hand shall not touch it, for [every one that touches] shall be stoned
with stones or shot through with a dart, whether beast or whether man,
it shall not live: when the voices and trumpets and cloud depart from
off the mountain, they shall come up on the mountain.
19.14 And
Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified them,
and they washed their clothes.
19.15 And
he said to the people, Be ready: for three days come not near to a
woman.
19.16 And
it came to pass on the third day, as the morning drew nigh, there were
voices and lightnings and a dark cloud on mount Sina: the voice of the
trumpet sounded loud, and all the people in the camp trembled.
19.17 And
Moses led the people forth out of the camp to meet God, and they stood
by under the camp.
19.18 The
mount of Sina was altogether on a smoke, because God had descended upon
it in fire; and the smoke went up as the smoke of a furnace, and the
people were exceedingly amazed.
19.19 And
the sounds of the trumpet were waxing very much louder. Moses spoke,
and God answered him with a voice.
19.20 And
the Lord came down upon mount Sina on the top of the mountain; and the
Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
19.21 And
God spoke to Moses, saying, Go down, and solemnly charge the people,
lest at any time they draw nigh to God to gaze, and a multitude of them
fall.
19.22 And
let the priests that draw nigh to the Lord God sanctify themselves,
lest he destroy some of them.
19.23 And
Moses said to God, The people will not be able to approach to the mount
of Sina, for thou hast solemnly charged us, saying, Set bounds to the
mountain and sanctify it.
19.24 And
the Lord said to him, Go, descend, and come up thou and Aaron with
thee; but let not the priests and the people force their way to come up
to God, lest the Lord destroy some of them.
19.25 And
Moses went down to the people, and spoke to them.
▲20.1 And the Lord spoke all
these words, saying:
20.2 I am
the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the
house of bondage.
20.3 Thou
shalt have no other gods beside me.
20.4 Thou
shalt not make to thyself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever
things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath,
and whatever are in the waters under the earth.
20.5 Thou
shalt not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I am the Lord thy God,
a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children,
to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,
20.6 and
bestowing mercy on them that love me to thousands [of them], and on
them that keep my commandments.
20.7 Thou
shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord thy
God will not acquit him that takes his name in vain.
20.8
Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy.
20.9 Six
days thou shalt labour, and shalt perform all thy work.
20.10 But
on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God; on it thou shalt
do no work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy servant nor thy
maidservant, thine ox nor thine ass, nor any cattle of thine, nor the
stranger that sojourns with thee.
20.11 For
in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all
things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord
blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.
20.12
Honour thy father and thy mother, that it may be well with thee, and
that thou mayest live long on the good land, which the Lord thy God
gives to 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 wife; thou shalt not covet thy
neighbour's house; nor his field, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor
his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor whatever belongs to thy
neighbour.
20.18 And
all the people perceived the thundering, and the flashes, and the voice
of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and all the people feared and
stood afar off,
20.19 and
said to Moses, Speak thou to us, and let not God speak to us, lest we
die.
20.20 And
Moses says to them, Be of good courage, for God is come to you to try
you, that his fear may be among you, that ye sin not.
20.21 And
the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the darkness where God
was.
20.22 And
the Lord said to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and
thou shalt report it to the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I
have spoken to you from heaven.
20.23 Ye
shall not make to yourselves gods of silver, and gods of gold ye shall
not make to yourselves.
20.24 Ye
shall make to me an altar of earth; and upon it ye shall sacrifice your
whole burnt-offerings, and your peace-offerings, and your sheep and
your calves in every place, where I shall record my name; and I will
come to thee and bless thee.
20.25 And
if thou wilt make to me an altar of stones, thou shalt not build them
hewn [stones]; for thou hast lifted up thy tool upon them, and they are
defiled.
20.26 Thou
shalt not go up to my altar by steps, that thou mayest not uncover thy
nakedness upon it.
▲21.1 And these [are] the
ordinances which thou shalt set before them.
21.2 If
thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve thee, and in the
seventh year he shall go forth free for nothing.
21.3 If he
should have come in alone, he shall also go forth alone; and if his
wife should have gone in together with him, his wife also shall go out.
21.4
Moreover, if his master give him a wife, ad she have [born] him sons or
daughters, the wife and the children shall be his master's; and he
shall go forth alone.
21.5 And if
the servant should answer and say, I love my master and wife and
children, I will not go away free;
21.6 his
master shall bring him to the judgment-seat of God, and then shall he
bring him to the door,-- to the door-post, and his master shall bore
his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.
21.7 And if
any one sell his daughter as a domestic, she shall not depart as the
maid-servants depart.
21.8 If she
be not pleasing to her master, after she has betrothed herself to him,
he shall let her go free; but he is not at liberty to sell her to a
foreign nation, because he has trifled with her.
21.9 And if
he should have betrothed her to his son, he shall do to her according
to the right of daughters.
21.10 And
if he take another to himself, he shall not deprive her of necessaries
and her apparel, and her companionship [with him].
21.11 And
if he will not do these three things to her, she shall go out free
without money.
21.12 And
if any man smite another and he die, let him be certainly put to death.
21.13 But
as for him that did it not willingly, but God delivered him into his
hands, I will give thee a place whither the slayer may flee.
21.14 And
if any one lie in wait for his neighbour to slay him by craft, and he
go for refuge, thou shalt take him from my altar to put him to death.
21.15
Whoever smites his father or his mother, let him be certainly put to
death.
21.16
Whosoever shall steal one of the children of Israel, and prevail over
him and sell him, and he be found with him, let him certainly die.
21.17 He
that reviles his father or his mother shall surely die.
21.18 And
if two men revile each other and smite the one the other with a stone
or his fist, and he die not, but be laid upon his bed;
21.19 if
the man arise and walk abroad on his staff, he that smote him shall be
clear; only he shall pay for his loss of time, and for his healing.
21.20 And
if a man site his man-servant or his maid-servant, with a rod, and [the
party] die under his hands, he shall be surely punished.
21.21 But
if [the servant] continue to live a day or two, let not [the master] be
punished; for he is his money.
21.22 And
if two men strive and smite a woman with child, and her child be born
imperfectly formed, he shall be forced to pay a penalty: as the woman's
husband may lay upon him, he shall pay with a valuation.
21.23 But
if it be perfectly formed, he shall 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 one smite the eye of his man-servant, or the eye of his
maid-servant, and put it out, he shall let them go free for their eye's
sake.
21.27 And
if he should smite out the tooth of his man-servant, or the tooth of
his maid-servant, he shall send them away free for their tooth's sake.
21.28 And
if a bull gore a man or woman and they die, the bull shall be stoned
with stones, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the
bull shall be clear.
21.29 But
if the bull should have been given to goring in former time, and men
should have told his owner, and he have not removed him, but he should
have slain a man or woman, the bull shall be stoned, and his owner
shall die also.
21.30 And
if a ransom should be imposed on him, he shall pay for the ransom of
his soul as much as they shall lay upon him.
21.31 And
if [the bull] gore a son or daughter, let them do to him according to
this ordinance.
21.32 And
if the bull gore a man-servant or maid-servant, he shall pay to their
master thirty silver didrachmas, and the bull shall be stoned.
21.33 And
if any one open a pit or dig a cavity in stone, and cover it not, and
an ox or an ass fall in there,
21.34 the
owner of the pit shall make compensation; he shall give money to their
owner, and the dead shall be his own.
21.35 And
if any man's bull gore the bull of his neighbour, and it die, they
shall sell the living bull and divide the money, and they shall divide
the dead bull.
21.36 But
if the bull be known to have been given to goring in time past, and
they have testified to his owner, and he have not removed him, he shall
repay bull for bull, but the dead shall be his own.
▲22.1 And if one steal an ox or a
sheep, and kill it or sell it, he shall pay five calves for a calf, and
four sheep for a sheep.
22.2 And if
the thief be found in the breach [made by himself] and be smitten and
die, there shall not be blood shed for him.
22.3 But if
the sun be risen upon him, he is guilty, he shall die instead; and if a
thief have nothing, let him be sold in compensation for what he has
stolen.
22.4 And if
the thing stolen be left and be in his hand alive, whether ox or sheep,
he shall restore them two-fold.
22.5 And if
any one should feed down a field or a vineyard, and should send in his
beast to feed down another field, he shall make compensation of his own
field according to his produce; and if he shall have fed down the whole
field, he shall pay for compensation the best of his own field and the
best of his vineyard.
22.6 And if
fire have gone forth and caught thorns, and should also set on fire
threshing-floors or ears of corn or a field, he that kindled the fire
shall make compensation.
22.7 And if
any one give to his neighbour money r goods to keep, and they be stolen
out of the man's house, if the thief be found he shall repay double.
22.8 But if
the thief be not found, the master of the house shall come forward
before God, and shall swear that surely he has not wrought wickedly in
regard of any part of his neighbour's deposit,
22.9
according to every injury alleged, both concerning a calf, and an ass,
and a sheep, and a garment, and every alleged loss, whatsoever in fact
it may be,-- the judgment of both shall proceed before God, and he that
is convicted by God shall repay to his neighbour double.
22.10 And
if any one give to his neighbour to keep a calf or sheep or any beast,
and it be wounded or die or be taken, and no one know,
22.11 an
oath of God shall be between both, [each swearing] that he has surely
not at all been guilty in the matter of his neighbour's deposit; and so
his master shall hold him guiltless, and he shall not make compensation.
22.12 And
if it be stolen from him, he shall make compensation to the owner.
22.13 And
if it be seized of beasts, he shall bring him to [witness] the prey,
and he shall not make compensation.
22.14 And
if any one borrow [ought] of his neighbour, and it be wounded or die or
be carried away, and the owner of it be not with it, he shall make
compensation.
22.15 But
if the owner be with it, he shall not make compensation: but if it be a
hired thing, there shall be [a compensation] to him instead of his hire.
22.16 And
if any one deceive a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he
shall surely endow her for a wife to himself.
22.17 And
if her father positively refuse, and will not consent to give her to
him for a wife, he shall pay compensation to her father according to
the amount of the dowry of virgins.
22.18 Ye
shall not save the lives of sorcerers.
22.19 Every
one that lies with a beast ye shall surely put to death.
22.20 He
that sacrifices to any gods but to the Lord alone, shall be destroyed
by death.
22.21 And
ye shall not hurt a stranger, nor afflict him; for ye were strangers in
the land of Egypt.
22.22 Ye
shall hurt no widow or orphan.
22.23 And
if ye should afflict them by ill-treatment, and they should cry aloud
to me, I will surely hear their voice.
22.24 And I
will be very angry, and will slay you with the sword, and your wives
shall be widows and your children orphans.
22.25 And
if thou shouldest lend money to thy poor brother who is by thee, thou
shalt not be hard upon him thou shalt not exact usury of him.
22.26 And
if thou take thy neighbour's garment for a pledge, thou shalt restore
it to him before sunset.
22.27 For
this is his clothing, this is the only covering of his nakedness;
wherein shall he sleep? If then he shall cry to me, I will hearken to
him, for I am merciful.
22.28 Thou
shalt not revile the gods, nor speak ill of the ruler of thy people.
22.29 Thou
shalt not keep back the first-fruits of thy threshing floor and press.
The first-born of thy sons thou shalt give to me.
22.30 So
shalt thou do with thy calf and thy sheep and thine ass; seven days
shall it be under the mother, and the eighth day thou shalt give it to
me.
22.31 And
ye shall be holy men to me; and ye shall not eat flesh taken of beasts,
ye shall cast it to the dog.
▲23.1 Thou shalt not receive a
vain report: thou shalt not agree with the unjust [man] to become an
unjust witness.
23.2 Thou
shalt not associate with the multitude for evil; thou shalt not join
thyself with a multitude to turn aside with the majority so as to shut
out judgment.
23.3 And
thou shalt not spare a poor man in judgment.
23.4 And if
thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt turn
them back and restore them to him.
23.5 And if
thou see thine enemy's ass fallen under its burden, thou shalt not pass
by it, but shalt help to raise it with him.
23.6 Thou
shalt not wrest the sentence of the poor in his judgment.
23.7 Thou
shalt abstain from every unjust thing: thou shalt not slay the innocent
and just, and thou shalt not justify the wicked for gifts.
23.8 And
thou shalt not receive gifts; for gifts blind the eyes of the seeing,
and corrupt just words.
23.9 And ye
shall not afflict a stranger, for ye know the heart of a stranger; for
ye were yourselves strangers in the land of Egypt.
23.10 Six
years thou shalt sow thy land, and gather in the fruits of it.
23.11 But
in the seventh year thou shalt let it rest, and leave it, and the poor
of thy nation shall feed; and the wild beasts of the field shall eat
that which remains: thus shalt thou do to thy vineyard and to thine
oliveyard.
23.12 Six
days shalt thou do thy works, and on the seventh day there shall be
rest, that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and that the son of thy
maid-servant and the stranger may be refreshed.
23.13
Observe all things whatsoever I have commanded yo; and ye shall make no
mention of the name of other gods, neither shall they be heard out of
your mouth.
23.14 Keep
ye a feast to me three times in the year.
23.15 Take
heed to keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days ye shall eat
unleavened bread, as I charged thee at the season of the month of new
[corn], for in it thou camest out of Egypt: thou shalt not appear
before me empty.
23.16 And
thou shalt keep the feast of the harvest of first-fruits of thy
labours, whatsoever thou shalt have sown in thy field, and the feast of
completion at the end of the year in the gathering in of thy fruits out
of thy field.
23.17 Three
times in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God.
23.18 For
when I shall have cast out the nations from before thee, and shall have
widened thy borders, thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice
with leaven, neither must the fat of my feast abide till the morning.
23.19 Thou
shalt bring the first-offerings of the first-fruits of thy land into
the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a lamb in its
mother's milk.
23.20 And,
behold, I send my angel before thy face, that he may keep thee in the
way, that he may bring thee into the land which I have prepared for
thee.
23.21 Take
heed to thyself and hearken to him, and disobey him not; for he will
not give way to thee, for my name is on him.
23.22 If ye
will indeed hear my voice, and if thou wilt do all the things I shall
charge thee with, and keep my covenant, ye shall be to me a peculiar
people above all nations, for the whole earth is mine; and ye shall be
to me a royal priesthood, and a holy nation: these words shall ye speak
to the children of Israel, If ye shall indeed hear my voice, and do all
the things I shall tell thee, I will be an enemy to thine enemies, and
an adversary to thine adversaries.
23.23 For
my angel shall go as thy leader, and shall bring thee to the Amorite,
and Chettite, and Pherezite, and Chananite, and Gergesite, and Evite,
and Jebusite, and I will destroy them.
23.24 Thou
shalt not worship their gods, nor serve them: thou shalt not do
according to their works, but shalt utterly destroy them, and break to
pieces their pillars.
23.25 And
thou shalt serve the Lord thy God, and I will bless thy bread and thy
wine and thy water, and I will turn away sickness from you.
23.26 There
shall not be on thy land one that is impotent or barren. I will surely
fulfil the number of thy days.
23.27 And I
will send terror before thee, and I will strike with amazement all the
nations to which thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies to
flee.
23.28 And I
will send hornets before thee, and thou shalt cast out the Amorites and
the Evites, and the Chananites and the Chettites from thee.
23.29 I
will not cast them out in one year, lest the land become desolate, and
the beasts of the field multiply against thee.
23.30 By
little [and little] I will cast them out from before thee, until thou
shalt be increased and inherit the earth.
23.31 And I
will set thy borders from the Red Sea, to the sea of the Phylistines,
and from the wilderness to the great river Euphrates; and I will give
into your hand those that dwell in the land, and will cast them out
from thee.
23.32 Thou
shalt make no covenant with them and their gods.
23.33 And
they shall not dwell in thy land, lest they cause thee to sin against
me; for if thou shouldest serve their gods, these will be an offence to
thee.
▲24.1 And to Moses he said, Go up
to the Lord, thou and Aaron and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the
elders of Israel: and they shall worship the Lord from a distance.
24.2 And
Moses alone shall draw nigh to God; and they shall not draw nigh, and
the people shall not come up with them.
24.3 And
Moses went in and related to the people all the words of God and the
ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, saying, All the
words which the Lord has spoken, we will do and be obedient.
24.4 And
Moses wrote all the words of the Lord; and Moses rose up early in the
morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and [set up] twelve
stones for the twelve tribes of Israel.
24.5 And he
sent forth the young men of the children of Israel, and they offered
whole burnt-offerings, and they sacrificed young calves as a
peace-offering to God.
24.6 And
Moses took half the blood and poured it into bowls, and half the blood
he poured out upon the altar.
24.7 And he
took the book of the covenant and read it in the ears of the people,
and they said, All things whatsoever the Lord has spoken we will do and
hearken therein.
24.8 And
Moses took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and said, Behold
the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has made with you concerning
all these words.
24.9 And
Moses went up, and Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the
elders of Israel.
24.10 And
they saw the place where the God of Israel stood; and under his feet
was as it were a work of sapphire slabs, and as it were the appearance
of the firmament of heaven in its purity.
24.11 And
of the chosen ones of Israel there was not even one missing, and they
appeared in the place of God, and did eat and drink.
24.12 And
the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there;
and I will give thee the tables of stone, the law and the commandments,
which I have written to give them laws.
24.13 And
Moses rose up and Joshua his attendant, and they went up into the mount
of God.
24.14 And
to the elders they said, Rest there till we return to you; and behold,
Aaron and Or are with you: if any man have a cause to be tried, let
them go to them.
24.15 And
Moses and Joshua went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the
mountain.
24.16 And
the glory of God came down upon the mount Sina, and the cloud covered
it six days; and the Lord called Moses on the seventh day out of the
midst of the cloud.
24.17 And
the appearance of the glory of the Lord was as burning fire on the top
of the mountain, before the children of Israel.
24.18 And
Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and went up to the mountain,
and was there in the mountain forty days and forty nights.
▲25.1 And the Lord spoke to
Moses, saying,
25.2 Speak
to the children of Israel, and take first-fruits of all, who may be
disposed in their heart to give; and ye shall take my first-fruits.
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 double scarlet, and fine spun linen, and goats'
hair,
25.5 and
rams' skins dyed red, and blue skins, and incorruptible wood,
25.6 and
oil for the light, incense for anointing oil, and for the composition
of incense,
25.7 and
sardius stones, and stones for the carved work of the breast-plate, and
the full-length robe.
25.8 And
thou shalt make me a sanctuary, and I will appear among you.
25.9 And
thou shalt make for me according to all things which I shew thee in the
mountain; even the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all
its furniture: so shalt thou make it.
25.10 And
thou shalt make the ark of testimony of incorruptible wood; the length
of two cubits and a half, and the breadth of a cubit and a half, and
the height of a cubit and a half.
25.11 And
thou shalt gild it with pure gold, thou shalt gild it within and
without; and thou shalt make for it golden wreaths twisted round about.
25.12 And
thou shalt cast for it four golden rings, and shalt put them on the
four sides; two rings on the one side, and two rings on the other side.
25.13 And
thou shalt make staves [of] incorruptible wood, and shalt gild them
with gold.
25.14 And
thou shalt put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to
bear the ark with them.
25.15 The
staves shall remain fixed in the rings of the ark.
25.16 And
thou shalt put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give thee.
25.17 And
thou shalt make a propitiatory, a lid of pure gold; the length of two
cubits and a half, and the breadth of a cubit and a half.
25.18 And
thou shalt make two cherubs graven in gold, and thou shalt put them on
both sides of the propitiatory.
25.19 They
shall be made, one cherub on this side, and another cherub on the other
side of the propitiatory; and thou shalt make the two cherubs on the
two sides.
25.20 The
cherubs shall stretch forth their wings above, overshadowing the
propitiatory with their wings; and their faces shall be toward each
other, the faces of the cherubs shall be toward the propitiatory.
25.21 And
thou shalt set the propitiatory on the ark above, and thou shalt put
into the ark the testimonies which I shall give thee.
25.22 And I
will make myself known to thee from thence, and I will speak to thee
above the propitiatory between the two cherubs, which are upon the ark
of testimony, even in all things which I shall charge thee concerning
the children of Israel.
25.23 And
thou shalt make a golden table of pure gold, in length two cubits, and
in breadth a cubit, and in height a cubit and a half.
25.24 And
thou shalt make for it golden wreaths twisted round about, and thou
shalt make for it a crown of an hand-breadth round about.
25.25 And
thou shalt make a twisted wreath for the crown round about.
25.26 And
thou shalt make four golden rings; and thou shalt put the four rings
upon the four parts of its feet under the crown.
25.27 And
the rings shall be for bearings for the staves, that they may bear the
table with them.
25.28 And
thou shalt make the staves of incorruptible wood, and thou shalt gild
them with pure gold; and the table shall be borne with them.
25.29 And
thou shalt make its dishes and its censers, and its bowls, and its
cups, with which thou shalt offer drink-offerings: of pure gold shalt
thou make them.
25.30 And
thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me continually.
25.31 And
thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold; thou shalt make the
candlestick of graven work: its stem and its branches, and its bowls
and its knops and its lilies shall be of one piece.
25.32 And
six branches proceeding sideways, three branches of the candlestick
from one side of it, and three branches of the candlestick from the
other side.
25.33 And
three bowls fashioned like almonds, on each branch a knop and a lily;
so to the six brances proceeding from the candlestick,
25.34 and
in the candlestick four bowls fashioned like almonds, in each branch
knops and the flowers of the same.
25.35 A
knop under two branches out of it, and a knop under four branches out
of it; so to the six branches proceeding from the candlestick; and in
the candlestick four bowls fashioned like almonds.
25.36 Let
the knops and the branches be of one piece, altogether graven of one
piece of pure gold.
25.37 And
thou shalt make its seven lamps: and thou shalt set on [it] the lamps,
and they shall shine from one front.
25.38 And
thou shalt make its funnel and its snuff-dishes of pure gold.
25.39 All
these articles [shall be] a talent of pure gold.
25.40 See,
thou shalt make them according to the pattern shewed thee in the mount.
▲26.1 And thou shalt make the
tabernacle, ten curtains of fine linen spun, and blue and purple, and
scarlet spun [with] cherubs; thou shalt make them with work of a weaver.
26.2 The
length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and one curtain
shall be the breadth of four cubits: there shall be the same measure to
all the curtains.
26.3 And
the five curtains shall be joined one to another, and [the other] five
curtains shall be closely connected the one with the other.
26.4 And
thou shalt make for them loops of blue on the edge of one curtain, on
one side for the coupling, and so shalt thou make on the edge of the
outer curtain for the second coupling.
26.5 Fifty
loops shalt thou make for one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make
on the part of the curtain answering to the coupling of the second,
opposite [each other], corresponding to each other at each point.
26.6 And
thou shalt make fifty golden rings; and thou shalt join the curtains to
each other with the rings, and it shall be one tabernacle.
26.7 And
thou shalt make for a covering of the tabernacle skins with the hair
on, thou shalt make them eleven skins.
26.8 The
length of one skin thirty cubits, and the breadth of one skin four
cubits: there shall be the same measure to the eleven skins.
26.9 And
thou shalt join the five skins together, and the six skins together;
and thou shalt double the sixth skin in front of the tabernacle.

refined pure olive-oil beaten to burn for light, that a lamp may burn
continually
27.21 in
the tabernacle of the testimony, without the veil that is before the
[ark of the] covenant, shall Aaron and his sons burn it from evening
until morning, before the Lord: it is a perpetual ordinance throughout
your generations of the children of Israel.

grave on them the names of the children of Israel.
28.10 Six
names on the first stone, and the other six names on the second stone,

28.11 [It
shall be] the work of the stone-engraver's art; as the graving of a
seal thou shalt engrave the two stones with the names of the children
of Israel.
28.12 And
thou shalt put the two stones on the shoulders of the shoulder-piece:
they are memorial-stones for the children of Israel: and Aaron shall
bear the names of the children of Israel before the Lord on his two
shoulders, a memorial for them.
28.13 And

thou shalt put the two circlets on both the shoulders of the ephod in
front.

28.33 And
under the fringe of the robe below thou shalt make as it were
pomegranates of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and
spun scarlet, and fine linen spun, under the fringe of the robe round
about: golden pomegranates of the same shape, and bells round about
between these.
28.34 A
bell by the side of a golden pomegranate, and flower-work on the fringe
of the robe round about.
28.35 And
the sound of Aaron shall be audible when he ministers, as he goes into
the sanctuary before the Lord, and has he goes out, that he die not.
28.36 And
thou shalt make a plate [of] pure gold, and thou shalt grave on it [as]
the graving of a signet, Holiness of the Lord.
28.37 And
thou shalt put it on the spun blue cloth, and it shall be on the mitre:
it shall be in the front of the mitre.
28.38 And
it shall be on the forehead of Aaron; and Aaron shall bear away the
sins of their holy things, all that te children of Israel shall
sanctify of every gift of their holy things, and it shall be on the
forehead of Aaron continually acceptable for them before the Lord.
28.39 And
the fringes of the garments [shall be] of fine linen; and thou shalt

them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.
28.42 And
thou shalt make for them linen drawers to cover the nakedness of their
flesh; they shall reach from the loins to the thighs.
28.43 And
Aaron shall have them, and his sons, whenever they enter into the
tabernacle of witness, or when they shall advance to the altar of the
sanctuary to minister, so they shall not bring sin upon themselves,
lest they die: [it is] a perpetual statute for him, and for his seed
after him.
▲29.1 And these are the things
which thou shalt do to them: thou shalt sanctify them, so that they
shall serve me in the priesthood; and thou shalt take one young calf
from the herd, and two unblemished rams;
29.2 and
unleavened loaves kneaded with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with
oil: thou shalt make them [of] fine flour of wheat.
29.3 And
thou shalt put them on one basket, and thou shalt offer them on the
basket, and the young calf and the two rams.
29.4 And

tabernacle of witness.

thou shalt take of the blood of the calf, and put it on the horns of
the altar with thy finger, but all the rest of the blood thou shalt
pour out at the foot of the altar.
29.13 And
thou shalt take all the fat that is on the belly, and the lobe of the
liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and shalt
put them upon the altar.
29.14 But
the flesh of the calf, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with
fire without the camp; for it is an [offering on account] of sin.
29.15 And
thou shalt take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands
on the head of the ram.
29.16 And
thou shalt kill it, and take the blood and pour it on the altar round
about.
29.17 And
thou shalt divide the ram by his several limbs, and thou shalt wash the
inward parts and the feet with water, and thou shalt put them on the
divided parts with the head.
29.18 And
thou shalt offer the whole ram on the altar, a whole burnt-offering to
the Lord for a sweet-smelling savour: it is an offering of incense to
the Lord.
29.19 And
thou shalt take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their
hands on the head of the ram.
29.20 And
thou shalt kill it, and take of the blood of it, and put it on the tip
of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the
great toe of his right foot, and on the tips of the right ears of his
sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the great toes of
their right feet.
29.21 And
thou shalt take of the blood from the altar, and of the anointing oil;
and thou shalt sprinkle it upon Aaron and on his garments, and on his
sons and on his sons' garments with him; and he shall be sanctified and
his apparel, and his sons and his sons' apparel with him: but the blood
of the ram thou shalt pour round about upon the altar.
29.22 And
thou shalt take from the ram its fat, both the fat that covers the
belly, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that
is upon them, and the right shoulder, for this is a consecration.
29.23 And
one cake [made] with oil, and one cake from the basket of unleavened
bread set forth before the Lord.
29.24 And
thou shalt put them all on the hands of Aaron, and on the hands of his
sons, and thou shalt separate them as a separate offering before the
Lord.
29.25 And
thou shalt take them from their hands, and shalt offer them up on the
altar of whole burnt-offering for a sweet-smelling savour before the
Lord: it is an offering to the Lord.
29.26 And
thou shalt take the breast from the ram of consecration which is
Aaron's, and thou shalt separate it as a separate offering before the
Lord, and it shall be to thee for a portion.
29.27 And
thou shalt sanctify the separated breast and the shoulder of removal
which has been separated, and which has been removed from the ram of
consecration, of the portion of Aaron and of [that of] his sons.
29.28 And
it shall be a perpetual statute of the children of Israel to Aaron and
his sons, for this is a separate offering; and it shall be a special
offering from the children of Israel, from the peace-offerings of the
children of Israel, a special offering to the Lord.
29.29 And
the apparel of the sanctuary which is Aaron's shall be his son's after
him, for them to be anointed in them, and to fill their hands.
29.30 The
priest his successor from among his sons who shall go into the
tabernacle of witness to minister in the holies, shall put them on
seven days.
29.31 And
thou shalt take the ram of consecration, and thou shalt boil the flesh
in the holy place.
29.32 And
Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the loaves in
the basket, by the doors of the tabernacle of witness.
29.33 They
shall eat the offerings with which they were sanctified to fill their
hands, to sanctify them; and a stranger shall not eat of them, for they
are holy.
29.34 And
if [aught] be left of the flesh of the sacrifice of consecration and of
the loaves until the morning, thou shalt burn the remainder with fire:
it shall not be eaten, for it is a holy thing.

that I have commanded thee; seven days shalt thou fill their hands.

purification, and thou shalt purify the altar when thou dost perform
consecration upon it, and thou shalt anoint it so as to sanctify it.
29.37 Seven
days shalt thou purify the altar and sanctify it; and the altar shall
be most holy, every one that touches the altar shall be hallowed.
29.38 And
these are the offerings which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two
unblemished lambs of a year old daily on the altar continually, a
constant offering.
29.39 One
lamb thou shalt offer in the morning, and the second lamb thou shalt
offer in the evening.
29.40 And a
tenth measure of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of
beaten oil, and a drink-offering the fourth part of a hin of wine for
one lamb.
29.41 And
thou shalt offer the second lamb in the evening, after the manner of
the morning-offering, and according to the drink-offering of the
morning lamb; thou shalt offer it an offering to the Lord for a
sweet-smelling savour,
29.42 a
perpetual sacrifice throughout your generations, at the door of the
tabernacle of witness before the Lord; wherein I will be known to thee
from thence, so as to speak to thee.
29.43 And I
will there give orders to the children of Israel, and I will be
sanctified in my glory.
29.44 And I
will sanctify the tabernacle of testimony and the altar, and I will
sanctify Aaron and his sons, to minister as priests to me.
29.45 And I
will be called upon among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
29.46 And
they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them forth
out of the land of Egypt, to be called upon by them, and to be their
God.

be square; and the height of it shall be of two cubits, its horns shall
be of the same piece.
30.3 And
thou shalt gild its grate with pure gold, and its sides round about,
and its horns; and thou shalt make for it a wreathen border of gold
round-about.

Aaron shall burn upon it fine compound incense every morning;
whensoever he trims the lamps he shall burn incense upon it.
30.8 And
when Aaron lights the lamps in the evening, he shall burn incense upon
it; a constant incense-offering always before the Lord for their
generations.
30.9 And
thou shalt not offer strange incense upon it, [nor] and offering made
by fire, [nor] a sacrifice; and thou shalt not pour a drink-offering
upon it.
30.10 And
once in the year Aaron shall make atonement on its horns, he shall
purge it with the blood of purification for their generations: it is
most holy to the Lord.
30.11 And
the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
30.12 If
thou take account of the children of Israel in the surveying of them,
and they shall give every one a ransom for his soul to the Lord, then
there shall not be among them a destruction in the visiting of them.
30.13 Ad
this is what they shall give, as many as pass the survey, half a
didrachm which is according to the didrachm of the sanctuary: twenty
oboli [go to] the didrachm, but the half of the didrachm is the
offering to the Lord.
30.14 Every
one that passes the survey from twenty years old and upwards shall give
the offering to the Lord.
30.15 The
rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than the
half didrachm in giving the offering to the Lord, to make atonement for
your souls.
30.16 And
thou shalt take the money of the offering from the children of Israel,
and shalt give it for the service of the tabernacle of testimony; and
it shall be to the children of Israel a memorial before the Lord, to
make atonement for your souls.
30.17 And
the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
30.18 Make
a brazen laver, and a brazen base for it, for washing; and thou shalt
put it between the tabernacle of witness and the altar, and thou shalt
pour forth water into it.
30.19 And
Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet with water
from it.
30.20
Whensoever they shall go into the tabernacle of witness, they shall
wash themselves with water, so they shall not die, whensoever they
advance to the altar to do service and to offer the whole
burnt-offerings to the Lord.
30.21 They
shall wash their hands and feet with water, whensoever they shall go
into the tabernacle of witness; they shall wash themselves with water,
that they die not; and it shall be for them a perpetual statute, for
him and his posterity after him.
30.22 And
the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
30.23 Do
thou also take sweet herbs, the flower of choice myrrh five hundred
shekels, and the half of this two hundred and fifty shekels of
sweet-smelling cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty shekels of
sweet-smelling calamus,
30.24 and
of cassia five hundred shekels of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.
30.25 And
thou shalt make it a holy anointing oil, a perfumed ointment [tempered]
by the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
30.26 And
thou shalt anoint with it the tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the
tabernacle of witness,
30.27 and
all its furniture, and the candlestick and all its furniture, and the
altar of incense,
30.28 and
the altar of whole burnt-offerings and all its furniture, and the table
and all its furniture, and the laver.

touches them shall be hallowed.
30.30 And
thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them that they may
minister to me as priests.
30.31 And
thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, This shall be to
you a holy anointing oil throughout your generations.
30.32 On
man's flesh it shall not be poured, and ye shall not make [any] for
yourselves according to this composition: it is holy, and shall be
holiness to you.
30.33
Whosoever shall make it in like manner, and whosoever shall give of it
to a stranger, shall be destroyed from among his people.
30.34 And
the Lord said to Moses, Take for thyself sweet herbs, stacte, onycha,
sweet galbanum, and transparent frankincense; there shall be and equal
weight of each.
30.35 And
they shall make with it perfumed incense, tempered with the art of a
perfumer, a pure holy work.
30.36 And
of these thou shalt beat some small, and thou shalt put it before the
testimonies in the tabernacle of testimony, whence I will make myself
known to thee: it shall be to you a most holy incense.
30.37 Ye
shall not make any for yourselves according to this composition; it
shall be to you a holy thing for the Lord.
30.38
Whosoever shall make any in like manner, so as to smell it, shall
perish from his people.
▲31.1 And the Lord spoke to
Moses, saying,
31.2
Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Urias the son of Or,
of the tribe of Juda.
31.3 And I
have filled him [with] a divine spirit of wisdom, and understanding,
and knowledge, to invent in every work,
31.4 and to
frame works, to labour in gold, and silver, and brass, and blue, and
purple, and spun scarlet,
31.5 and
works in stone, and for artificers' work in wood, to work at all works.
31.6 And I
have appointed him and Eliab the [son] of Achisamach of the tribe of
Dan, and to every one understanding in heart I have given
understanding; and they shall make all things as many as I have
appointed thee,--
31.7 the
tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the covenant, and the
propitiatory that is upon it, and the furniture of the tabernacle,
31.8 and
the altars, and the table and all its furniture,
31.9 and
the pure candlestick and all its furniture, and the laver and its base,
31.10 and
Aaron's robes of ministry, and the robes of his sons to minister to me
as priests,
31.11 and
the anointing oil and the compound incense of the sanctuary; according
to all that I have commanded thee shall they make them.
31.12 And
the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
31.13 Do
thou also charge the children of Israel, saying, Take heed and keep my
sabbaths; [for] they are a sign with me and among you throughout your
generations, that ye may know that I am the Lord that sanctifies you.
31.14 And
ye shall keep the sabbaths, because this is holy to the Lord for you;
he that profanes it shall surely be put to death: every one who shall
do a work on it, that soul shall be destroyed from the midst of his
people.
31.15 Six
days thou shalt do works, but the seventh day is the sabbath, a holy
rest to the Lord; every one who shall do a work on the seventh day
shall be put to death.
31.16 And
the children of Israel shall keep the sabbaths, to observe them
throughout their generations.
31.17 It is
a perpetual covenant with me and the children of Israel, it is a
perpetual sign with me; for in six days the Lord made the heaven and
the earth, and on the seventh day he ceased, and rested.
31.18 And
he gave to Moses when he left off speaking to him in mount Sina the two
tables of testimony, tables of stone written [upon] with the finger of
God.
▲32.1 And when the people saw
that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people combined
against Aaron, and said to him, Arise and make us gods who shall go
before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us forth out of the land
of Egypt-- we do not know what is become of him.
32.2 And
Aaron says to them, Take off the golden ear-rings which are in the ears
of your wives and daughters, and bring them to me.
32.3 And
all the people took off the golden ear-rings that were in their ears,
and brought them to Aaron.
32.4 And he
received them at their hands, and formed them with a graving tool; and
he made them a molten calf, and said, These [are] thy gods, O Israel,
which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
32.5 And
Aaron having seen it built an altar before it, and Aaron made
proclamation saying, To-morrow [is] a feast of the Lord.
32.6 And
having risen early on the morrow, he offered whole burnt-offerings, and
offered a peace-offering; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and
rose up to play.
32.7 And
the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go quickly, descend hence, for thy
people whom thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt have transgressed;
32.8 they
have quickly gone out of the way which thou commandedst; they have made
for themselves a calf, and worshiped it, and sacrificed to it, and
said, These are thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up out of the land
of Egypt.
32.9 ( - )
32.10 And
now let me alone, and I will be very angry with them and consume them,
and I will make thee a great nation.
32.11 And
Moses prayed before the Lord God, and said, Wherefore, O Lord, art thou
very angry with thy people, whom thou broughtest out of the land of
Egypt with great strength, and with thy high arm?
32.12 [Take
heed] lest at any time the Egyptians speak, saying, With evil intent he
brought them out to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them
from off the earth; cease from thy wrathful anger, and be merciful to
the sin of thy people,
32.13
remembering Abraam and Isaac and Jacob thy servants, to whom thou hast
sworn by thyself, and hast spoken to them, saying, I will greatly
multiply your seed as the stars of heaven for multitude, and all this
land which thou spokest of to give to them, so that they shall possess
it for ever.
32.14 And
the Lord was prevailed upon to preserve his people.
32.15 And
Moses turned and went down from the mountain, and the two tables of
testimony were in his hands, tables of stone written on both their
sides: they were written within and without.
32.16 And
the tables were the work of God, and the writing the writing of God
written on the tables.
32.17 And
Joshua having heard the voice of the people crying, says to Moses,
There is a noise of war in the camp.
32.18 And
[Moses] says, It is not the voice of them that begin the battle, nor
the voice of them that begin [the cry] of defeat, but the voice of them
that begin [the banquet] of wine do I hear.
32.19 And
when he drew nigh to the camp, he sees the calf and the dances; and
Moses being very angry cast the two tables out of his hands, and broke
them to pieces under the mountain.
32.20 And
having taken the calf which they made, he consumed it with fire, and
ground it very small, and scattered it on the water, and made the
children of Israel to drink it.
32.21 And
Moses said to Aaron, What has this people done to thee, that thou hast
brought upon them a great sin?
32.22 And
Aaron said to Moses, Be not angry, [my] lord, for thou knowest the
impetuosity of this people.
32.23 For
they say to me, Make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this
man Moses, who brought us out of Egypt, we do not know what is become
of him.
32.24 And I
said to them, If any one has golden ornaments, take them off; and they
gave them me, and I cast them into the fire, and there came out this
calf.
32.25 And
when Moses saw that the people was scattered,-- for Aaron [had]
scattered them [so as to be] a rejoicing to their enemies,--
32.26 then
stood Moses at the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's
side? let him come to me. Then all the sons of Levi came to him.
32.27 And
he says to them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every one his
sword on his thigh, and go through and return from gate to gate through
the camp, and slay every one his brother, and every one his neighbour,
and every one him that is nearest to him.
32.28 And
the sons of Levi did as Moses spoke to them, and there fell of the
people in that day to the [number of] three thousand men.
32.29 And
Moses said to them, Ye have filled your hands this day to the Lord each
one on his son or on his brother, so that blessing should be given to
you.
32.30 And
it came to pass after the morrow [had begun], that Moses said to the
people, Ye have sinned a great sin; and now I will go up to God, that I
may make atonement for your sin.
32.31 And
Moses returned to the Lord and said, I pray, O Lord, this people has
sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves golden gods.
32.32 And
now if thou wilt forgive their sin, forgive [it]; and if not, blot me
out of thy book, which thou hast written.
32.33 And
the Lord said to Moses, If any one has sinned against me, I will blot
them out of my book.
32.34 And
now go, descend, and lead this people into the place of which I spoke
to thee: behold, my angel shall go before thy face; and in the day when
I shall visit I will bring upon them their sin.
32.35 And
the Lord smote the people for the making the calf, which Aaron made.
▲33.1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Go forward, go up hence, thou and thy people, whom thou broughtest out
of the land of Egypt, into the land which I swore to Abraam, and Isaac,
and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed.
33.2 And I
will send at the same time my angel before thy face, and he shall cast
out the Amorite and the Chettite, and the Pherezite and Gergesite, and
Evite, and Jebusite, and Chananite.
33.3 And I
will bring thee into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not
go up with thee, because thou art a stiff-necked people, lest I consume
thee by the way.
33.4 And
the people having heard this grievous saying, mourned in mourning
apparel.
33.5 For
the Lord said to the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people;
take heed lest I bring on you another plague, and destroy you: now then
put off your glorious apparel, and [your] ornaments, and I will shew
thee what I will do to thee.
33.6 So the
sons of Israel took off their ornaments and their array at the mount of
Choreb.
33.7 And
Moses took his tabernacle and pitched it without the camp, at a
distance from the camp; and it was called the Tabernacle of Testimony:
and it came to pass [that] every one that sought the Lord went forth to
the tabernacle which was without the camp.
33.8 And
whenever Moses went into the tabernacle without the camp, all the
people stood every one watching by the doors of his tent; and when
Moses departed, they took notice until he entered into the tabernacle.
33.9 And
when Moses entered into the tabernacle, the pillar of the cloud
descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and [God] talked to
Moses.
33.10 And
all the people saw the pillar of the cloud standing by the door of the
tabernacle, and all the people stood and worshiped every one at the
door of his tent.
33.11 And
the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as if one should speak to his
friend; and he retired into the camp: but his servant Joshua the son of
Naue, a young man, departed not forth from the tabernacle.
33.12 And
Moses said to the Lord, Lo! thou sayest to me, Lead on this people; but
thou hast not shewed me whom thou wilt send with me, but thou hast said
to me, I know thee above all, and thou hast favour with me.
33.13 If
then I have found favour in thy sight, reveal thyself to me, that I may
evidently see thee; that I may find favour in thy sight, and that I may
know that this great nation [is] thy people.
33.14 And
he says, I myself will go before thee, and give thee rest.
33.15 And
he says to him, If thou go not up with us thyself, bring me not up
hence.
33.16 And
how shall it be surely known, that both I and this people have found
favour with thee, except only if thou go with us? So both I and thy
people shall be glorified beyond all the nations, as many as are upon
the earth.
33.17 And
the Lord said to Moses, I will also do for thee this thing, which thou
hast spoken; for thou hast found grace before me, and I know thee above
all.
33.18 And
[Moses] says, Manifest thyself to me.
33.19 And
[God] said, I will pass by before thee with my glory, and I will call
by my name, the Lord, before thee; and I will have mercy on whom I will
have mercy, and will have pity on whom I will have pity.
33.20 And
[God] said, Thou shalt not be able to see my face; for no man shall see
my face, and live.
33.21 And
the Lord said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: thou shalt stand upon
the rock;
33.22 and
when my glory shall pass by, then I will put thee into a hole of the
rock; and I will cover thee over with my hand, until I shall have
passed by.
33.23 And I
will remove my hand, and then shalt thou see my back parts; but my face
shall not appear to thee.
▲34.1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Hew for thyself two tables of stone, as also the first were, and come
up to me to the mountain; and I will write upon the tables the words,
which were on the first tables, which thou brokest.
34.2 And be
ready by the morning, and thou shalt go up to the mount Sina, and shalt
stand there for me on the top of the mountain.
34.3 And
let no one go up with thee, nor be seen in all the mountain; and let
not the sheep and oxen feed near that mountain.
34.4 And
[Moses] hewed two tables of stone, as also the first were; and Moses
having arisen early, went up to the mount Sina, as the Lord appointed
him; and Moses took the two tables of stone.
34.5 And
the Lord descended in a cloud, and stood near him there, and called by
the name of the Lord.
34.6 And
the Lord passed by before his face, and proclaimed, The Lord God,
pitiful and merciful, longsuffering and very compassionate, and true,
34.7 and
keeping justice and mercy for thousands, taking away iniquity, and
unrighteousness, and sins; and he will not clear the guilty; bringing
the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and to the children's
children, to the third and fourth generation.
34.8 An
Moses hasted, and bowed to the earth and worshiped;
34.9 and
said, If I have found grace before thee, let my Lord go with us; for
the people is stiff-necked: and thou shalt take away our sins and our
iniquities, and we will be thine.
34.10 And
the Lord said to Moses, Behold, I establish a covenant for thee in the
presence of all thy people; I will do glorious things, which have not
been done in all the earth, or in any nation; and all the people among
whom thou art shall see the works of the Lord, that they are wonderful,
which I will do for thee.
34.11 Do
thou take heed to all things whatsoever I command thee: behold, I cast
out before your face the Amorite and the Chananite and the Pherezite,
and the Chettite, and Evite, and Gergesite and Jebusite:
34.12 take
heed to thyself, lest at any time thou make a covenant with the
dwellers on the land, into which thou art entering, lest it be to thee
a stumbling-block among you.
34.13 Ye
shall destroy their altars, and break in pieces their pillars, and ye
shall cut down their groves, and the graven images of their gods ye
shall burn with fire.
34.14 For
ye shall not worship strange gods, for the Lord God, a jealous name, is
a jealous God;
34.15 lest
at any time thou make a covenant with the dwellers on the land, and
they go a whoring after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and
they call thee, and thou shouldest eat of their feasts,
34.16 and
thou shouldest take of their daughters to thy sons, and thou shouldest
give of thy daughters to their sons; and thy daughters should go a
whoring after their gods, and thy sons should go a whoring after their
gods.
34.17 And
thou shalt not make to thyself molten gods.
34.18 And
thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days shalt thou
eat unleavened bread, as I have charged thee, at the season in the
month of new [corn]; for in the month of new [corn] thou camest out
from Egypt.
34.19 The
males [are] mine, everything that opens the womb; every first-born of
oxen, and [every] first-born of sheep.
34.20 And
the first-born of an ass thou shalt redeem with a sheep, and if thou
wilt not redeem it thou shalt pay a price: every first-born of thy sons
shalt thou redeem: thou shalt not appear before me empty.
34.21 Six
days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: [there
shall be] rest in seed-time and harvest.
34.22 And
thou shalt keep to me the feast of weeks, the beginning of
wheat-harvest; and the feast of ingathering in the middle of the year.
34.23 Three
times in the year shall every male of thine appear before the Lord the
God of Israel.
34.24 For
when I shall have cast out the nations before thy face, and shall have
enlarged thy coasts, no one shall desire thy land, whenever thou mayest
go up to appear before the Lord thy God, three times in the year.
34.25 Thou
shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifices with leaven, neither shall
the sacrifices of the feast of the passover remain till the morning.
34.26 The
first-fruits of thy land shalt thou put into the house of the Lord thy
God: thou shalt not boil a lamb in his mother's milk.
34.27 And
the Lord said to Moses, Write these words for thyself, for on these
words I have established a covenant with thee and with Israel.
34.28 And
Moses was there before the Lord forty days, and forty nights; he did
not eat bread, and he did not drink water; and he wrote upon the tables
these words of the covenant, the ten sayings.
34.29 And
when Moses went down from the mountain, [there were] the two tables in
the hands of Moses,-- as then he went down from the mountain, Moses
knew not that the appearance of the skin of his face was glorified,
when God spoke to him.
34.30 And
Aaron and all the elders of Israel saw Moses, and the appearance of the
skin of his face was made glorious, and they feared to approach him.
34.31 And
Moses called them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the synagogue turned
towards him, and Moses spoke to them.
34.32 And
afterwards all the children of Israel came to him, and he commanded
them all things, whatsoever the Lord had commanded him in the mount of
Sina.
34.33 And
when he ceased speaking to them, he put a veil on his face.
34.34 And
whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak to him, he took off the
veil till he went out, and he went forth and spoke to all the children
of Israel whatsoever the Lord commanded him.
34.35 And
the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that it was glorified;
and Moses put the veil over his face, till he went in to speak with him.
▲35.1 And Moses gathered all the
congregation of the children of Israel together, and said, These are
the words which the Lord has spoken for [you] to do them.
35.2 Six
days shalt thou perform works, but on the seventh day [shall be] rest--
a holy sabbath-- a rest for the Lord: every one that does work on it,
let him die.
35.3 Ye
shall not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath-day; I
[am] the Lord.
35.4 And
Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying,
This [is] the thing which the Lord has appointed you, saying,
35.5 Take
of yourselves an offering for the Lord: every one that engages in his
heart shall bring the first-fruits to the Lord; gold, silver, brass,
35.6 blue,
purple, double scarlet spun, and fine linen spun, and goats' hair,
35.7 and
rams' skins dyed red, and skins [dyed] blue, and incorruptible wood,
35.8 ( - )
35.9 and
sardine stones, and stones for engraving for the shoulder-piece and
full-length robe.
35.10 And
every man that is wise in heart among you, let him come and work all
things whatsoever the Lord has commanded.
35.11 The
tabernacle, and the cords, and the coverings, and the rings, and the
bars, and the posts,
35.12 and
the ark of the testimony, and its staves, and its propitiatory, and the
veil,
35.13 and
the table and all its furniture,
35.14 and
the candle-stick for the light and all its furniture,
35.15 and
the incense, and the anointing oil,
35.16 and
the altar and all its furniture;
35.17 and
the curtains of the court, and its posts, and the emerald stones,
35.18 ( - )
35.19 and
the holy garments of Aaron the priest, And the garments in which they
shall do service; and the garments of priesthood for the sons of Aaron
and the anointing oil, and the compound incense.
35.20 And
all the congregation of the children of Israel went out from Moses. And
they brought, they whose heart prompted them, and they to whomsoever it
seemed good in their mind, each and offering:
35.21 and
they brought an offering to the Lord for all the works of the
tabernacle of witness, and all its services, and for all the robes of
the sanctuary.
35.22 And
the men, even every one to whom it seemed good in his heart, brought
from the women, [even] brought seals and ear-rings, and finger-rings,
and necklaces, and bracelets, every article of gold.
35.23 And
all as many as brought ornaments of gold to the Lord, and with
whomsoever fine linen was found; and they brought skins [dyed] blue,
and rams' skins dyed red.
35.24 And
every one that offered an offering brought silver and brass, the
offerings to the Lord; and [they] with whom was found incorruptible
wood; and they brought [offerings] for all the works of the preparation.
35.25 And
every woman skilled in her heart to spin with her hands, brought spun
[articles], the blue, and purple, and scarlet and fine linen.
35.26 And
all the women to whom it seemed good in their heart in their wisdom,
spun the goats' hair.
35.27 And
the rulers brought the emerald stones, and the stones for setting in
the ephod, and the oracle,
35.28 and
the compounds both for the anointing oil, and the composition of the
incense.
35.29 And
every man and woman whose mind inclined them to come in and do all the
works as many as the Lord appointed them to do by Moses-- [they] the
children of Israel brought an offering to the Lord.
35.30 And
Moses said to the children of Israel, Behold, God has called by name
Beseleel the [son] of Urias the [son of] Or, of the tribe of Juda,
35.31 and
has filled him with a divine spirit of wisdom and understanding, and
knowledge of all things,
35.32 to
labour skillfully in all works of cunning workmanship to form the gold
and the silver and the brass,
35.33 and
to work in stone, and to fashion the wood, and to work in every work of
wisdom.
35.34 And
[God] gave improvement in understanding both to him, and to Eliab the
[son] of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan.
35.35 And
[God] filled them with wisdom, understanding [and] perception, to
understand to work all the works of the sanctuary, and to weave the
woven and embroidered work with scarlet and fine linen, to do all work
of curious workmanship [and] embroidery.
▲36.1 And Beseleel wrought, and
Eliab and every one wise in understanding, to whom was given wisdom and
knowledge, to understand to do all the works according to the holy
offices, according to all things which the Lord appointed.
36.2 And
Moses called Beseleel and Eliab, and all that had wisdom, to whom God
gave knowledge in [their] heart, and all who were freely willing to
come forward to the works, to perform them.
36.3 And
they received from Moses all the offerings, which the children of
Israel brought for all the works of the sanctuary to do them; and they
continued to receive the gifts brought, from those who brought them in
the morning.
36.4 And
there came all the wise men who wrought the works of the sanctuary,
each according to his own work, which they wrought.
36.5 And
one said to Moses, The people bring an abundance [too great] in
proportion to all the works which the Lord has appointed [them] to do.
36.6 And
Moses commanded, and proclaimed in the camp, saying, Let neither man
nor woman any longer labour for the offerings of the sanctuary; and the
people were restrained from bringing any more.
36.7 And
they had materials sufficient for making the furniture, and they left
some besides. (go to 39.1)
36.8 (37.1)
And they made ten curtains for the tabernacle;
36.9 (37.2)
of eight and twenty cubits the length of one curtain: the same
[measure] was to all, and the breadth of one curtain was of four cubits.

He made the holy anointing oil and the composition of the incense, the

38.3 (38.23)
He made all the vessels of the altar and its grate, and its base, and
its bowls, and the brazen flesh-hooks.
38.4 (38.24)
He made an appendage for the altar of network under the grate, beneath
it as far as the middle of it; and he fastened to it four brazen rings
on the four parts of the appendage of the altar, wide [enough] for the
bars, so as to bear the altar with them.
38.5 ( - )
38.6 ( - )
38.7 ( - )
38.8 (38.26)
He made the brazen laver, and the brazen base of it of the mirrors of
the women that fasted, who fasted by the doors of the tabernacle of
witness, in the day in which he set it up.
38.9 (37.7)
And they made the court toward the south; the curtains of the court of
fine linen twined, a hundred [cubits] every way,
38.10 (37.8)
and their posts twenty, and their sockets twenty;
38.11 (37.9)
and on the north side a hundred every way, and on the south side a
hundred every way, and their posts twenty and their sockets twenty.
38.12 (37.10)
And on the west side curtains of fifty cubits, their posts ten and
their sockets ten.
38.13 (37.11)
And on the east side curtains of fifty cubits of fifteen cubits behind,
38.14 (37.12)
and their pillars three, and their sockets three.
38.15 (37.13)
And at the second back on this side and on that by the gate of the
court, curtains of fifteen cubits, their pillars three and their
sockets three;
38.16 (37.14)
all the curtains of the tabernacle of fine linen twined.
38.17 (37.15)
And the sockets of their pillars of brass, and their hooks of silver,
and their chapiters overlaid with silver, and all the posts of the
court overlaid with silver:
38.18 (37.16)
and the veil of the gate of the court, the work of an embroiderer of
blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined; the length
of twenty cubits, and the height and the breadth of five cubits, made
equal to the curtains of the court;
38.19 (37.17)
and their pillars four, and their sockets four of brass, and their
hooks of silver, and their chapiters overlaid with silver.
38.20 (37.18)
And all the pins of the court round about of brass, and they [were]
overlaid with silver.
38.21 (37.19)
And this was the construction of the tabernacle of witness, accordingly
as it was appointed to Moses; so that the public service should belong
to the Levites, through Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
38.22 (37.20)
And Beseleel the son of Urias of the tribe of Juda, did as the Lord
commanded Moses.
38.23 (37.21)
And Eliab the son of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan [was there], who
was chief artificer in the woven works and needle-works and
embroideries, in weaving with the scarlet and fine linen.
38.24 (39.1)
All the gold that was employed for the works according to all the
fabrication of the holy things, was of the gold of the offerings,
twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred and twenty shekels according to
the holy shekel.
38.25 (39.2)
And the offering of silver from the men that were numbered of the
congregation a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and
seventy-five shekels, one drachm apiece, even the half shekel,
according to the holy shekel.
38.26 (39.3)
Every one that passed the survey from twenty years old and upwards to
the [number f] six hundred thousand, and three thousand five hundred
and fifty.
38.27 (39.4)
And the hundred talents of silver went to the casting of the hundred
chapiters of the tabernacle, and to the chapiters of the veil;
38.28 (39.5)
a hundred chapiters to the hundred talents, a talent to a chapiter.
38.29 (39.6)
And the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels he formed into
hooks for the pillars, and he gilt their chapiters and adorned them.
38.30 (39.7)
And the brass of the offering [was] seventy talents, and a thousand
five hundred shekels;
38.31 (39.8)
and they made of it the bases of the door of the tabernacle of witness,
(39.9) and the bases of the court round about,
and the bases of the gate of the court, and the pins of the tabernacle,
and the pins of the court (39.10) round about; and the
brazen appendage of the altar, and all the vessels of the altar, and
all the instruments of the tabernacle of witness.
▲39.1 (36.8) And
every wise one among those that wrought made the robes of the holy
places, which belong to Aaron the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.
39.2 (36.9)
And he made the ephod of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet,
and fine linen twined.
39.3 (36.10)
And the plates were divided, the threads of gold, so as to interweave
with the blue and purple, and with the spun scarlet, and the fine linen
twined, they made it a woven work;
39.4 (36.11)
shoulder-pieces joined from both sides, a work woven by mutual twisting
of the parts into one another.
39.5 (36.12)
They made it of the same material according to the making of it, of
gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, as
the Lord commanded Moses;
39.6 (36.13)
and they made the two emerald stones clasped together and set in gold,
graven and cut after the cutting of a seal with the names of the
children of Israel;
39.7 (36.14)
and he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, [as] stones of
memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord appointed Moses.
39.8 (36.15)
And they made the oracle, a work woven with embroidery, according to
the work of the ephod, of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet,
ad fine linen twined.
39.9 (36.16)
They made the oracle square [and] double, the length of a span, and the
breadth of a span,-- double.
39.10 (36.17)
And there was interwoven with it a woven work of four rows of stones, a
series of stones, the first row, a sardius and topaz and emerald;
39.11 (36.18)
and the second row, a carbuncle and sapphire and jasper;
39.12 (36.19)
and the third row, a ligure and agate and amethyst;
39.13 (36.20)
and the fourth row a chrysolite and beryl and onyx set round about with
gold, and fastened with gold.
39.14 (36.21)
And the stones were twelve according to the names of the children of
Israel, graven according to their names like seals, each according to
his own name for the twelve tribes.
39.15 (36.22)
And they made on the oracle turned wreaths, wreathen work, of pure gold,
39.16 (36.23)
and they made two golden circlets and two golden rings. (36.24)
And they put the two golden rings on both the [upper] corners of the
oracle;
39.17 (36.25)
and they put the golden wreaths on the rings on both sides of the
oracle, and the two wreaths into the two couplings.
39.18 (36.26)
And they put them on the two circlets, and they put them on the
shoulders of the ephod opposite [each other] in front.
39.19 (36.27)
And they made two golden rings, and put them on the two projections on
the top of the oracle, and on the top of the hinder part of the ephod
within.
39.20 (36.28)
And they made two golden rings, and put them on both the shoulders of
the ephod under it, in front by the coupling above the connexion of the
ephod.
39.21 (36.29)
And he fastened the oracle by the rings that were on it to the rings of
the ephod, which were fastened with [a string] of blue, joined together
with the woven work of the ephod; that the oracle should not be loosed
from the ephod, as the Lord commanded Moses.
39.22 (36.30)
And they made the tunic under the ephod, woven work, all of blue.
39.23 (36.31)
And the opening of the tunic in the midst woven closely together, the
opening having a fringe round about, that it might not be rent.
39.24 (36.32)
And they made on the border of the tunic below pomegranates as of a
flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and
fine linen twined.
39.25 (36.33)
And they made golden bells, and put the bells on the border of the
tunic round about between the pomegranates:
39.26 (36.34)
a golden bell and a pomegranate on the border of the tunic round about,
for the ministration, as the Lord commanded Moses.
39.27 (36.35)
And they made vestments of fine linen, a woven work, for Aaron and his
sons,
39.28 (36.36)
and the tires of fine linen, and the mitre of fine linen, and the
drawers of fine linen twined;
39.29 (36.37)
and their girdles of fine linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet
spun, the work of an embroiderer, according as the Lord commanded Moses.
39.30 (36.38)
And they made the golden plate, a dedicated thing of the sanctuary, of
pure gold; (36.39) and he wrote upon it graven letters [as]
of a seal, Holiness to the Lord.
39.31 (36.40)
And they put it on the border of blue, so that it should be on the
mitre above, as the Lord commanded Moses.
39.32 (39.11)
And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses, so did
they. (39.12) And of the gold that remained of the offering
they made vessels to minister with before the Lord. (39.13)
And the blue that was left, and the purple, and the scarlet they made
[into] garments of ministry for Aaron, so that he should minister with
them in the sanctuary;
39.33 (39.14)
and they brought the garments to Moses, and the tabernacle, and its
furniture, its bases and its bars and the posts;
39.34 ( - )
39.35 (39.15)
and the ark of the covenant, and its bearers, and the altar and all its
furniture.
39.36 (39.18)
and the table of shewbread, and all its furniture, and the shewbread
upon it,
39.37 (39.17)
and its lamps, lamps for burning, and oil for the light,
39.38 (39.16)
And they made the anointing oil, and the incense of composition, and
the pure candlestick,
39.39 ( - )
39.40 (39.20)
and the curtains of the court, and the posts, and the veil of the door
of the tabernacle, and the gate of the court, (39.21) and
all the vessels of the tabernacle and all its instruments: and the
skins, even rams' skins dyed red, and the blue coverings, and the
coverings of the other things, and the ins, and all the instruments for
the works of the tabernacle of witness.
39.41 (39.19)
and the garments of the sanctuary which belong to Aaron, and the
garments of his sons, for the priestly ministry;
39.42 (39.22)
Whatsoever things the Lord appointed Moses, so did the children of
Israel make all the furniture.
39.43 (39.23)
And Moses saw all the works; and they had done them all as the Lord
commanded Moses, so had they made them; and Moses blessed them.
▲40.1 And the Lord spoke to
Moses, saying,
40.2 On the
first day of the first month, at the new moon, thou shalt set up the
tabernacle of witness,
40.3 and
thou shalt place [in it] the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the
ark with the veil,
40.4 and
thou shalt bring in the table and shalt set forth that which is to be
set forth on it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick and place its
lamps on it.
40.5 And
thou shalt place the golden altar, to burn incense before the ark; and
thou shalt put a covering of a veil on the door of the tabernacle of
witness.
40.6 And
thou shalt put the altar of burnt-offerings by the doors of the
tabernacle of witness, and thou shalt set up the tabernacle round
about, and thou shalt hallow all that belongs to it round about.
40.7 ( - )
40.8 ( - )
40.9 And
thou shalt take the anointing oil, and shalt anoint the tabernacle, and
all things in it; and shalt sanctify it, and all its furniture, and it
shall be holy.
40.10 And
thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offerings, and all its furniture;
and thou shalt hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.
40.11 ( - )
40.12 And
thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle of
witness, and thou shalt wash them with water.
40.13 And
thou shalt put on Aaron the holy garments, and thou shalt anoint him,
and thou shalt sanctify him, and he shall minister to me as priest.
40.14 And
thou shalt bring up his sons, and shalt put garments on them.
40.15 And
thou shalt anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, and they
shall minister to me as priests; and it shall be that they shall have
an everlasting anointing of priesthood, throughout their generations.
40.16 And
Moses did all things whatsoever the Lord commanded him, so did he.
40.17 And
it came to pass in the first month, in the second year after their
going forth out of Egypt, at the new moon, that the tabernacle was set
up.
40.18 And
Moses set up the tabernacle, and put on the chapiters, and put the bars
into their places, and set up the posts.
40.19 And
he stretched out the curtains over the tabernacle, and put the veil of
the tabernacle on it above as the Lord commanded Moses.
40.20 And
he took the testimonies, and put them into the ark; and he put the
staves by the sides of the ark.
40.21 And
he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and put on [it] the covering of
the veil, and covered the ark of the testimony, as the Lord commanded
Moses.
40.22 And
he put the table in the tabernacle of witness, on the north side
without the veil of the tabernacle.
40.23 And
he put on it the shewbread before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
40.24 And
he put the candlestick into the tabernacle of witness, on the side of
the tabernacle toward the south.
40.25 And
he put on it its lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
40.26 And
he put the golden altar in the tabernacle of witness before the veil;
40.27 and
he burnt on it incense of composition, as the Lord commanded Moses.
40.28 ( - )
40.29 And
he put the altar of the burnt-offerings by the doors of the tabernacle.
40.30 (38.27)
And he made the laver, that at it Moses and Aaron and his sons might
wash their hands and their feet: when they went into the tabernacle of
witness, or whensoever they should advance to the altar to do service,
they washed at it, as the Lord commanded Moses.
40.31 ( - )
40.32 ( - )
40.33 And
he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar; and Moses
accomplished all the works.
40.34 And
the cloud covered the tabernacle of witness, and the tabernacle was
filled with the glory of the Lord.
40.35 And
Moses was not able to enter into the tabernacle of testimony, because
the cloud overshadowed it, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory
of the Lord.
40.36 And
when the cloud went up from the tabernacle, the children of Israel
prepared to depart with their baggage.
40.37 And
if the cloud went not up, they did not prepare to depart, till the day
when the cloud went up.
40.38 For a
cloud was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night before
all Israel, in all their journeyings.
