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.
25:10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two
cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the
breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
25:11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within
and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold
round about.
25:12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it,
and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the
one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
25:13 And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and
overlay them with gold.
25:14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by
the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
25:15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they
shall not be taken from it.
25:16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which
I shall give thee.
25:17 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold:
two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half
the breadth thereof.
25:18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten
work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
25:19 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other
cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims
on the two ends thereof.
25:20 And the 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.
25:23 Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two
cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and
a cubit and a half the height thereof.
25:24 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make
thereto a crown of gold round about.
25:25 And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand
breadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof
round about.
25:26 And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold,
and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.
25:27 Over against the border shall the rings be for
places of the staves to bear the table.
25:28 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood,
and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
25:29 And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons
thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure
gold shalt thou make them.
25:30 And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before
me alway.
25:31 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold:
of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches,
his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.
25:32 And six branches shall come out of the sides of
it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches
of the candlestick out of the other side:
25:33 Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop
and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other
branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out
of the candlestick.
25:34 And in the candlesticks shall be four bowls made
like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers.
25:35 And there shall be a knop under two branches of
the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two
branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of
the candlestick.
25:36 Their knops and their branches shall be of the
same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
25:37 And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and
they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against
it.
25:38 And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof,
shall be of pure gold.
25:39 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with
all these vessels.
25:40 And look that thou make them after their pattern,
which was shewed thee in the mount.
26:1 Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten
curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with
cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them.
26:2 The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty
cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and every one of the
curtains shall have one measure.
26:3 The five curtains shall be coupled together one

and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the
forefront of the tabernacle.
26:10 And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of
the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops in the
edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.
26:11 And thou shalt make fifty taches of brass, and
put the taches into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may
be one.
26:12 And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains
of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside
of the tabernacle.
26:13 And a cubit on the one side, and a cubit on the
other side of that which remaineth in the length of the curtains of the
tent, it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on

it be made:
26:32 And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim
wood overlaid with gold: their hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets
of silver.
26:33 And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches,
that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony:
and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most
holy.
26:34 And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark
of the testimony in the most holy place.
26:35 And thou shalt set the table without the vail,
and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle
toward the south: and thou shalt put the table on the north side.

unto their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.
28:1 And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his

office.

of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of
gold.

of the ephod for stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron

thereof, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle
of the ephod.

of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth
in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually.
28:30 And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment
the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he
goeth in before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children
of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.
28:31 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of
blue.
28:32 And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in
the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the
hole of it, as it were the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.
28:33 And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make
pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem
thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:
28:34 A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell
and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about.
28:35 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his
sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD,
and when he cometh out, that he die not.
28:36 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave
upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
28:37 And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may
be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.
28:38 And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron
may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel
shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead,
that they may be accepted before the LORD.
28:39 And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen,
and thou shalt make the mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle
of needlework.
28:40 And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats, and
thou shalt make for them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make for them,
for glory and for beauty.
28:41 And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother,
and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and
sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
28:42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover
their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:
28:43 And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons,
when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they
come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear
not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto him and his
seed after him.
29:1 And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them
to hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office: Take one young
bullock, and two rams without blemish,
29:2 And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered
with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of wheaten flour shalt
thou make them.
29:3 And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring
them in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams.
29:4 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water.

the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate,
and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod:

29:7 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour
it upon his head, and anoint him.
29:8 And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon
them.
29:9 And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and
his sons, and put the bonnets on them: and the priest's office shall be
theirs for a perpetual statute: and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his
sons.
29:10 And thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before
the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall put their
hands upon the head of the bullock.
29:11 And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD,
by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
29:12 And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock,
and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the
blood beside the bottom of the altar.
29:13 And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the
inwards, and the caul that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and
the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar.
29:14 But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and
his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it is a sin offering.
29:15 Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his
sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
29:16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take
his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar.
29:17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash
the inwards of him, and his legs, and put them unto his pieces, and unto
his head.
29:18 And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar:
it is a burnt offering unto the LORD: it is a sweet savour, an offering
made by fire unto the LORD.
29:19 And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and
his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
29:20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood,
and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of
the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and
upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the
altar round about.
29:21 And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the
altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his
garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him:
and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons'
garments with him.
29:22 Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the
rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul above the liver,
and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder;
for it is a ram of consecration:
29:23 And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread,
and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before
the LORD:
29:24 And thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and
in the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them for a wave offering before
the LORD.
29:25 And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and
burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before
the LORD: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
29:26 And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron's
consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall
be thy part.
29:27 And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave
offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which
is heaved up, of the ram of the consecration, even of that which is for
Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:
29:28 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute
for ever from the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and
it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice
of their peace offerings, even their heave offering unto the LORD.
29:29 And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons'
after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them.
29:30 And that son that is priest in his stead shall
put them on seven days, when he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation
to minister in the holy place.
29:31 And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration,
and seethe his flesh in the holy place.
29:32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the
ram, and the bread that is in the basket by the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation.
29:33 And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement
was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not
eat thereof, because they are holy.
29:34 And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations,
or of the bread, remain unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder
with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
29:35 And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons,
according to all things which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou
consecrate them.
29:36 And thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a
sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou
hast made an atonement for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.
29:37 Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the
altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever
toucheth the altar shall be holy.
29:38 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the
altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.
29:39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and
the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:
29:40 And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled
with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an
hin of wine for a drink offering.
29:41 And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and
shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according
to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by
fire unto the LORD.
29:42 This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout
your generations 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.
