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

thee. |

other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims
on the two ends thereof. |
|
25:20 |
And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering
the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one
to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims
be. |
|
25:21 |
And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in
the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. |
|
25:22 |
And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee
from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which
are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will
give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. |
|

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