Book 02 Exodus
02:001:001 Now these are the names
of the children of Israel, which came
into Egypt; every man
and his household came with Jacob.
02:001:002 Reuben, Simeon, Levi,
and Judah,
02:001:003 Issachar, Zebulun, and
Benjamin,
02:001:004 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad,
and Asher.
02:001:005 And all the souls that
came out of the loins of Jacob were
seventy souls: for
Joseph was in Egypt already.
02:001:006 And Joseph died, and
all his brethren, and all that
generation.
02:001:007 And the children of
Israel were fruitful, and increased
abundantly, and
multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and
the land was filled
with them.
02:001:008 Now there arose up a
new king over Egypt, which knew not
Joseph.
02:001:009 And he said unto his
people, Behold, the people of the
children of Israel are
more and mightier than we:
02:001:010 Come on, let us deal
wisely with them; lest they multiply, and
it come to pass, that,
when there falleth out any war, they
join also unto our
enemies, and fight against us, and so get
them up out of the
land.
02:001:011 Therefore they did set
over them taskmasters to afflict them
with their burdens. And
they built for Pharaoh treasure
cities, Pithom and
Raamses.
02:001:012 But the more they
afflicted them, the more they multiplied and
grew. And they were
grieved because of the children of Israel.
02:001:013 And the Egyptians made
the children of Israel to serve with
rigour:
02:001:014 And they made their
lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter,
and in brick, and in
all manner of service in the field: all
their service, wherein
they made them serve, was with rigour.
02:001:015 And the king of Egypt
spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which
the name of the one was
Shiphrah, and the name of the other
Puah:
02:001:016 And he said, When ye do
the office of a midwife to the Hebrew
women, and see them
upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye
shall kill him: but if
it be a daughter, then she shall live.
02:001:017 But the midwives feared
God, and did not as the king of Egypt
commanded them, but
saved the men children alive.
02:001:018 And the king of Egypt
called for the midwives, and said unto
them, Why have ye done
this thing, and have saved the men
children alive?
02:001:019 And the midwives said
unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women
are not as the Egyptian
women; for they are lively, and are
delivered ere the
midwives come in unto them.
02:001:020 Therefore God dealt
well with the midwives: and the people
multiplied, and waxed
very mighty.
02:001:021 And it came to pass,
because the midwives feared God, that he
made them houses.
02:001:022 And Pharaoh charged all
his people, saying, Every son that is
born ye shall cast into
the river, and every daughter ye shall
save alive.
02:002:001 And there went a man of
the house of Levi, and took to wife a
daughter of Levi.
02:002:002 And the woman
conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him
that he was a goodly
child, she hid him three months.
02:002:003 And when she could not
longer hide him, she took for him an
ark of bulrushes, and
daubed it with slime and with pitch, and
put the child therein;
and she laid it in the flags by the
river's brink.
02:002:004 And his sister stood
afar off, to wit what would be done to
him.
02:002:005 And the daughter of
Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the
river; and her maidens
walked along by the river's side; and
when she saw the ark
among the flags, she sent her maid to
fetch it.
02:002:006 And when she had opened
it, she saw the child: and, behold,
the babe wept. And she
had compassion on him, and said, This
is one of the Hebrews'
children.
02:002:007 Then said his sister to
Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and
call to thee a nurse of
the Hebrew women, that she may nurse
the child for thee?
02:002:008 And Pharaoh's daughter
said to her, Go. And the maid went and
called the child's
mother.
02:002:009 And Pharaoh's daughter
said unto her, Take this child away,
and nurse it for me,
and I will give thee thy wages. And the
women took the child,
and nursed it.
02:002:010 And the child grew, and
she brought him unto Pharaoh's
daughter, and he became
her son. And she called his name
Moses: and she said,
Because I drew him out of the water.
02:002:011 And it came to pass in
those days, when Moses was grown, that
he went out unto his
brethren, and looked on their burdens:
and he spied an
Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his
brethren.
02:002:012 And he looked this way
and that way, and when he saw that
there was no man, he
slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the
sand.
02:002:013 And when he went out
the second day, behold, two men of the
Hebrews strove
together: and he said to him that did the
wrong, Wherefore
smitest thou thy fellow?
02:002:014 And he said, Who made
thee a prince and a judge over us?
intendest thou to kill
me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And
Moses feared, and said,
Surely this thing is known.
02:002:015 Now when Pharaoh heard
this thing, he sought to slay Moses.
But Moses fled from the
face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land
of Midian: and he sat
down by a well.
02:002:016 Now the priest of
Midian had seven daughters: and they came
and drew water, and
filled the troughs to water their father's
flock.
02:002:017 And the shepherds came
and drove them away: but Moses stood up
and helped them, and
watered their flock.
02:002:018 And when they came to
Reuel their father, he said, How is it
that ye are come so
soon to day?
02:002:019 And they said, An
Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the
shepherds, and also
drew water enough for us, and watered the
flock.
02:002:020 And he said unto his
daughters, And where is he? why is it
that ye have left the
man? call him, that he may eat bread.
02:002:021 And Moses was content
to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses
Zipporah his daughter.
02:002:022 And she bare him a son,
and he called his name Gershom: for he
said, I have been a
stranger in a strange land.
02:002:023 And it came to pass in
process of time, that the king of Egypt
died: and the children
of Israel sighed by reason of the
bondage, and they
cried, and their cry came up unto God by
reason of the bondage.
02:002:024 And God heard their
groaning, and God remembered his covenant
with Abraham, with
Isaac, and with Jacob.
02:002:025 And God looked upon the
children of Israel, and God had
respect unto them.
02:003:001 Now Moses kept the
flock of Jethro his father in law, the
priest of Midian: and
he led the flock to the backside of the
desert, and came to the
mountain of God, even to Horeb.
02:003:002 And the angel of the
LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire
out of the midst of a
bush: and he looked, and, behold, the
bush burned with fire,
and the bush was not consumed.
02:003:003 And Moses said, I will
now turn aside, and see this great
sight, why the bush is
not burnt.
02:003:004 And when the LORD saw
that he turned aside to see, God called
unto him out of the
midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses.
And he said, Here am I.
02:003:005 And he said, Draw not
nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off
thy feet, for the place
whereon thou standest is holy ground.
02:003:006 Moreover he said, I am
the God of thy father, the God of
Abraham, the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid
his face; for he was
afraid to look upon God.
02:003:007 And the LORD said, I
have surely seen the affliction of my
people which are in
Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason
of their taskmasters;
for I know their sorrows;
02:003:008 And I am come down to
deliver them out of the hand of the
Egyptians, and to bring
them up out of that land unto a good
land and a large, unto
a land flowing with milk and honey;
unto the place of the
Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the
Amorites, and the
Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the
Jebusites.
02:003:009 Now therefore, behold,
the cry of the children of Israel is
come unto me: and I
have also seen the oppression wherewith
the Egyptians oppress
them.
02:003:010 Come now therefore, and
I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that
thou mayest bring forth
my people the children of Israel out
of Egypt.
02:003:011 And Moses said unto
God, Who am I, that I should go unto
Pharaoh, and that I
should bring forth the children of Israel
out of Egypt?
02:003:012 And he said, Certainly
I will be with thee; and this shall be
a token unto thee, that
I have sent thee: When thou hast
brought forth the
people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon
this mountain.
02:003:013 And Moses said unto
God, Behold, when I come unto the children
of Israel, and shall
say unto them, The God of your fathers
hath sent me unto you;
and they shall say to me, What is his
name? what shall I say
unto them?
02:003:014 And God said unto
Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus
shalt thou say unto the
children of Israel, I AM hath sent me
unto you.
02:003:015 And God said moreover
unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the
children of Israel, the
LORD God of your fathers, the God of
Abraham, the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me
unto you: this is my
name for ever, and this is my memorial
unto all generations.
02:003:016 Go, and gather the
elders of Israel together, and say unto
them, The LORD God of
your fathers, the God of Abraham, of
Isaac, and of Jacob,
appeared unto me, saying, I have surely
visited you, and seen
that which is done to you in Egypt:
02:003:017 And I have said, I will
bring you up out of the affliction of
Egypt unto the land of
the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and
the Amorites, and the
Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the
Jebusites, unto a land
flowing with milk and honey.
02:003:018 And they shall hearken
to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou
and the elders of
Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall
say unto him, The LORD
God of the Hebrews hath met with us:
and now let us go, we
beseech thee, three days' journey into
the wilderness, that we
may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
02:003:019 And I am sure that the
king of Egypt will not let you go, no,
not by a mighty hand.
02:003:020 And I will stretch out
my hand, and smite Egypt with all my
wonders which I will do
in the midst thereof: and after that
he will let you go.
02:003:021 And I will give this
people favour in the sight of the
Egyptians: and it shall
come to pass, that, when ye go, ye
shall not go empty.
02:003:022 But every woman shall
borrow of her neighbour, and of her that
sojourneth in her
house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold,
and raiment: and ye
shall put them upon your sons, and upon
your daughters; and ye
shall spoil the Egyptians.
02:004:001 And Moses answered and
said, But, behold, they will not
believe me, nor hearken
unto my voice: for they will say, The
LORD hath not appeared
unto thee.
02:004:002 And the LORD said unto
him, What is that in thine hand? And he
said, A rod.
02:004:003 And he said, Cast it on
the ground. And he cast it on the
ground, and it became a
serpent; and Moses fled from before
it.
02:004:004 And the LORD said unto
Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take
it by the tail. And he
put forth his hand, and caught it, and
it became a rod in his
hand:
02:004:005 That they may believe
that the LORD God of their fathers, the
God of Abraham, the God
of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath
appeared unto thee.
02:004:006 And the LORD said
furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand
into thy bosom. And he
put his hand into his bosom: and when
he took it out, behold,
his hand was leprous as snow.
02:004:007 And he said, Put thine
hand into thy bosom again. And he put
his hand into his bosom
again; and plucked it out of his
bosom, and, behold, it
was turned again as his other flesh.
02:004:008 And it shall come to
pass, if they will not believe thee,
neither hearken to the
voice of the first sign, that they will
believe the voice of
the latter sign.
02:004:009 And it shall come to
pass, if they will not believe also these
two signs, neither
hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt
take of the water of
the river, and pour it upon the dry land:
and the water which
thou takest out of the river shall become
blood upon the dry
land.
02:004:010 And Moses said unto the
LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent,
neither heretofore, nor
since thou hast spoken unto thy
servant: but I am slow
of speech, and of a slow tongue.
02:004:011 And the LORD said unto
him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who
maketh the dumb, or
deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have
not I the LORD?
02:004:012 Now therefore go, and I
will be with thy mouth, and teach thee
what thou shalt say.
02:004:013 And he said, O my LORD,
send, I pray thee, by the hand of him
whom thou wilt send.
02:004:014 And the anger of the
LORD was kindled against Moses, and he
said, Is not Aaron the
Levite thy brother? I know that he can
speak well. And also,
behold, he cometh forth to meet thee:
and when he seeth thee,
he will be glad in his heart.
02:004:015 And thou shalt speak
unto him, and put words in his mouth: and
I will be with thy
mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach
you what ye shall do.
02:004:016 And he shall be thy
spokesman unto the people: and he shall
be, even he shall be to
thee instead of a mouth, and thou
shalt be to him instead
of God.
02:004:017 And thou shalt take
this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou
shalt do signs.
02:004:018 And Moses went and
returned to Jethro his father in law, and
said unto him, Let me
go, I pray thee, and return unto my
brethren which are in
Egypt, and see whether they be yet
alive. And Jethro said
to Moses, Go in peace.
02:004:019 And the LORD said unto
Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt:
for all the men are
dead which sought thy life.
02:004:020 And Moses took his wife
and his sons, and set them upon an
ass, and he returned to
the land of Egypt: and Moses took the
rod of God in his hand.
02:004:021 And the LORD said unto
Moses, When thou goest to return into
Egypt, see that thou do
all those wonders before Pharaoh,
which I have put in
thine hand: but I will harden his heart,
that he shall not let
the people go.
02:004:022 And thou shalt say unto
Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel
is my son, even my
firstborn:
02:004:023 And I say unto thee,
Let my son go, that he may serve me: and
if thou refuse to let
him go, behold, I will slay thy son,
even thy firstborn.
02:004:024 And it came to pass by
the way in the inn, that the LORD met
him, and sought to kill
him.
02:004:025 Then Zipporah took a
sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of
her son, and cast it at
his feet, and said, Surely a bloody
husband art thou to me.
02:004:026 So he let him go: then
she said, A bloody husband thou art,
because of the
circumcision.
02:004:027 And the LORD said to
Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet
Moses. And he went, and
met him in the mount of God, and
kissed him.
02:004:028 And Moses told Aaron
all the words of the LORD who had sent
him, and all the signs
which he had commanded him.
02:004:029 And Moses and Aaron
went and gathered together all the elders
of the children of
Israel:
02:004:030 And Aaron spake all the
words which the LORD had spoken unto
Moses, and did the
signs in the sight of the people.
02:004:031 And the people
believed: and when they heard that the LORD had
visited the children of
Israel, and that he had looked upon
their affliction, then
they bowed their heads and worshipped.
02:005:001 And afterward Moses and
Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus
saith the LORD God of
Israel, Let my people go, that they may
hold a feast unto me in
the wilderness.
02:005:002 And Pharaoh said, Who
is the LORD, that I should obey his
voice to let Israel go?
I know not the LORD, neither will I
let Israel go.
02:005:003 And they said, The God
of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us
go, we pray thee, three
days' journey into the desert, and
sacrifice unto the LORD
our God; lest he fall upon us with
pestilence, or with the
sword.
02:005:004 And the king of Egypt
said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses
and Aaron, let the
people from their works? get you unto your
burdens.
02:005:005 And Pharaoh said,
Behold, the people of the land now are many,
and ye make them rest
from their burdens.
02:005:006 And Pharaoh commanded
the same day the taskmasters of the
people, and their
officers, saying,
02:005:007 Ye shall no more give
the people straw to make brick, as
heretofore: let them go
and gather straw for themselves.
02:005:008 And the tale of the
bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye
shall lay upon them; ye
shall not diminish ought thereof: for
they be idle; therefore
they cry, saying, Let us go and
sacrifice to our God.
02:005:009 Let there more work be
laid upon the men, that they may labour
therein; and let them
not regard vain words.
02:005:010 And the taskmasters of
the people went out, and their
officers, and they
spake to the people, saying, Thus saith
Pharaoh, I will not
give you straw.
02:005:011 Go ye, get you straw
where ye can find it: yet not ought of
your work shall be
diminished.
02:005:012 So the people were
scattered abroad throughout all the land of
Egypt to gather stubble
instead of straw.
02:005:013 And the taskmasters
hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works,
your daily tasks, as
when there was straw.
02:005:014 And the officers of the
children of Israel, which Pharaoh's
taskmasters had set
over them, were beaten, and demanded,
Wherefore have ye not
fulfilled your task in making brick both
yesterday and to day,
as heretofore?
02:005:015 Then the officers of
the children of Israel came and cried
unto Pharaoh, saying,
Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy
servants?
02:005:016 There is no straw given
unto thy servants, and they say to us,
Make brick: and,
behold, thy servants are beaten; but the
fault is in thine own
people.
02:005:017 But he said, Ye are
idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let
us go and do sacrifice
to the LORD.
02:005:018 Go therefore now, and
work; for there shall no straw be given
you, yet shall ye
deliver the tale of bricks.
02:005:019 And the officers of the
children of Israel did see that they
were in evil case,
after it was said, Ye shall not minish
ought from your bricks
of your daily task.
02:005:020 And they met Moses and
Aaron, who stood in the way, as they
came forth from
Pharaoh:
02:005:021 And they said unto
them, The LORD look upon you, and judge;
because ye have made
our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of
Pharaoh, and in the
eyes of his servants, to put a sword in
their hand to slay us.
02:005:022 And Moses returned unto
the LORD, and said, LORD, wherefore
hast thou so evil
entreated this people? why is it that thou
hast sent me?
02:005:023 For since I came to
Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done
evil to this people;
neither hast thou delivered thy people at
all.
02:006:001 Then the LORD said unto
Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will
do to Pharaoh: for with
a strong hand shall he let them go,
and with a strong hand
shall he drive them out of his land.
02:006:002 And God spake unto
Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:
02:006:003 And I appeared unto
Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by
the name of God
Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not
known to them.
02:006:004 And I have also
established my covenant with them, to give
them the land of
Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein
they were strangers.
02:006:005 And I have also heard
the groaning of the children of Israel,
whom the Egyptians keep
in bondage; and I have remembered my
covenant.
02:006:006 Wherefore say unto the
children of Israel, I am the LORD, and
I will bring you out
from under the burdens of the Egyptians,
and I will rid you out
of their bondage, and I will redeem you
with a stretched out
arm, and with great judgments:
02:006:007 And I will take you to
me for a people, and I will be to you a
God: and ye shall know
that I am the LORD your God, which
bringeth you out from
under the burdens of the Egyptians.
02:006:008 And I will bring you in
unto the land, concerning the which I
did swear to give it to
Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I
will give it you for an
heritage: I am the LORD.
02:006:009 And Moses spake so unto
the children of Israel: but they
hearkened not unto
Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel
bondage.
02:006:010 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
02:006:011 Go in, speak unto
Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the
children of Israel go
out of his land.
02:006:012 And Moses spake before
the LORD, saying, Behold, the children
of Israel have not
hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh
hear me, who am of
uncircumcised lips?
02:006:013 And the LORD spake unto
Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a
charge unto the
children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of
Egypt, to bring the
children of Israel out of the land of
Egypt.
02:006:014 These be the heads of
their fathers' houses: The sons of
Reuben the firstborn of
Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and
Carmi: these be the
families of Reuben.
02:006:015 And the sons of Simeon;
Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and
Jachin, and Zohar, and
Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman:
these are the families
of Simeon.
02:006:016 And these are the names
of the sons of Levi according to their
generations; Gershon,
and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of
the life of Levi were
an hundred thirty and seven years.
02:006:017 The sons of Gershon;
Libni, and Shimi, according to their
families.
02:006:018 And the sons of Kohath;
Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and
Uzziel: and the years
of the life of Kohath were an hundred
thirty and three years.
02:006:019 And the sons of Merari;
Mahali and Mushi: these are the
families of Levi
according to their generations.
02:006:020 And Amram took him
Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and
she bare him Aaron and
Moses: and the years of the life of
Amram were an hundred
and thirty and seven years.
02:006:021 And the sons of Izhar;
Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
02:006:022 And the sons of Uzziel;
Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
02:006:023 And Aaron took him
Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of
Naashon, to wife; and
she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar,
and Ithamar.
02:006:024 And the sons of Korah;
Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these
are the families of the
Korhites.
02:006:025 And Eleazar Aaron's son
took him one of the daughters of
Putiel to wife; and she
bare him Phinehas: these are the heads
of the fathers of the
Levites according to their families.
02:006:026 These are that Aaron
and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring
out the children of
Israel from the land of Egypt according to
their armies.
02:006:027 These are they which
spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring
out the children of
Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses
and Aaron.
02:006:028 And it came to pass on
the day when the LORD spake unto Moses
in the land of Egypt,
02:006:029 That the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak
thou unto Pharaoh king
of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
02:006:030 And Moses said before
the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised
lips, and how shall
Pharaoh hearken unto me?
02:007:001 And the LORD said unto
Moses, See, I have made thee a god to
Pharaoh: and Aaron thy
brother shall be thy prophet.
02:007:002 Thou shalt speak all
that I command thee: and Aaron thy
brother shall speak
unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of
Israel out of his land.
02:007:003 And I will harden
Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and
my wonders in the land
of Egypt.
02:007:004 But Pharaoh shall not
hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand
upon Egypt, and bring
forth mine armies, and my people the
children of Israel, out
of the land of Egypt by great
judgments.
02:007:005 And the Egyptians shall
know that I am the LORD, when I
stretch forth mine hand
upon Egypt, and bring out the children
of Israel from among
them.
02:007:006 And Moses and Aaron did
as the LORD commanded them, so did
they.
02:007:007 And Moses was fourscore
years old, and Aaron fourscore and
three years old, when
they spake unto Pharaoh.
02:007:008 And the LORD spake unto
Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
02:007:009 When Pharaoh shall
speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for
you: then thou shalt
say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it
before Pharaoh, and it
shall become a serpent.
02:007:010 And Moses and Aaron
went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as
the LORD had commanded:
and Aaron cast down his rod before
Pharaoh, and before his
servants, and it became a serpent.
02:007:011 Then Pharaoh also
called the wise men and the sorcerers: now
the magicians of Egypt,
they also did in like manner with
their enchantments.
02:007:012 For they cast down
every man his rod, and they became
serpents: but Aaron's
rod swallowed up their rods.
02:007:013 And he hardened
Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto
them; as the LORD had
said.
02:007:014 And the LORD said unto
Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he
refuseth to let the
people go.
02:007:015 Get thee unto Pharaoh
in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto
the water; and thou
shalt stand by the river's brink against
he come; and the rod
which was turned to a serpent shalt thou
take in thine hand.
02:007:016 And thou shalt say unto
him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath
sent me unto thee,
saying, Let my people go, that they may
serve me in the
wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou
wouldest not hear.
02:007:017 Thus saith the LORD, In
this thou shalt know that I am the
LORD: behold, I will
smite with the rod that is in mine hand
upon the waters which
are in the river, and they shall be
turned to blood.
02:007:018 And the fish that is in
the river shall die, and the river
shall stink; and the
Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the
water of the river.
02:007:019 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod,
and stretch out thine
hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon
their streams, upon
their rivers, and upon their ponds, and
upon all their pools of
water, that they may become blood; and
that there may be blood
throughout all the land of Egypt, both
in vessels of wood, and
in vessels of stone.
02:007:020 And Moses and Aaron did
so, as the LORD commanded; and he
lifted up the rod, and
smote the waters that were in the
river, in the sight of
Pharaoh, and in the sight of his
servants; and all the
waters that were in the river were
turned to blood.
02:007:021 And the fish that was
in the river died; and the river stank,
and the Egyptians could
not drink of the water of the river;
and there was blood
throughout all the land of Egypt.
02:007:022 And the magicians of
Egypt did so with their enchantments: and
Pharaoh's heart was
hardened, neither did he hearken unto
them; as the LORD had
said.
02:007:023 And Pharaoh turned and
went into his house, neither did he set
his heart to this also.
02:007:024 And all the Egyptians
digged round about the river for water
to drink; for they
could not drink of the water of the river.
02:007:025 And seven days were
fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten
the river.
02:008:001 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto
him, Thus saith the
LORD, Let my people go, that they may
serve me.
02:008:002 And if thou refuse to
let them go, behold, I will smite all
thy borders with frogs:
02:008:003 And the river shall
bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall
go up and come into
thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and
upon thy bed, and into
the house of thy servants, and upon thy
people, and into thine
ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
02:008:004 And the frogs shall
come up both on thee, and upon thy people,
and upon all thy
servants.
02:008:005 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth
thine hand with thy rod
over the streams, over the rivers, and
over the ponds, and
cause frogs to come up upon the land of
Egypt.
02:008:006 And Aaron stretched out
his hand over the waters of Egypt; and
the frogs came up, and
covered the land of Egypt.
02:008:007 And the magicians did
so with their enchantments, and brought
up frogs upon the land
of Egypt.
02:008:008 Then Pharaoh called for
Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the
LORD, that he may take
away the frogs from me, and from my
people; and I will let
the people go, that they may do
sacrifice unto the
LORD.
02:008:009 And Moses said unto
Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I
intreat for thee, and
for thy servants, and for thy people, to
destroy the frogs from
thee and thy houses, that they may
remain in the river
only?
02:008:010 And he said, To morrow.
And he said, Be it according to thy
word: that thou mayest
know that there is none like unto the
LORD our God.
02:008:011 And the frogs shall
depart from thee, and from thy houses, and
from thy servants, and
from thy people; they shall remain in
the river only.
02:008:012 And Moses and Aaron
went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried
unto the LORD because
of the frogs which he had brought
against Pharaoh.
02:008:013 And the LORD did
according to the word of Moses; and the frogs
died out of the houses,
out of the villages, and out of the
fields.
02:008:014 And they gathered them
together upon heaps: and the land
stank.
02:008:015 But when Pharaoh saw
that there was respite, he hardened his
heart, and hearkened
not unto them; as the LORD had said.
02:008:016 And the LORD said unto
Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy
rod, and smite the dust
of the land, that it may become lice
throughout all the land
of Egypt.
02:008:017 And they did so; for
Aaron stretched out his hand with his
rod, and smote the dust
of the earth, and it became lice in
man, and in beast; all
the dust of the land became lice
throughout all the land
of Egypt.
02:008:018 And the magicians did
so with their enchantments to bring
forth lice, but they
could not: so there were lice upon man,
and upon beast.
02:008:019 Then the magicians said
unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of
God: and Pharaoh's
heart was hardened, and he hearkened not
unto them; as the LORD
had said.
02:008:020 And the LORD said unto
Moses, Rise up early in the morning,
and stand before
Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water;
and say unto him, Thus
saith the LORD, Let my people go, that
they may serve me.
02:008:021 Else, if thou wilt not
let my people go, behold, I will send
swarms of flies upon
thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy
people, and into thy
houses: and the houses of the Egyptians
shall be full of swarms
of flies, and also the ground whereon
they are.
02:008:022 And I will sever in
that day the land of Goshen, in which my
people dwell, that no
swarms of flies shall be there; to the
end thou mayest know
that I am the LORD in the midst of the
earth.
02:008:023 And I will put a
division between my people and thy people: to
morrow shall this sign
be.
02:008:024 And the LORD did so;
and there came a grievous swarm of flies
into the house of
Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and
into all the land of
Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason
of the swarm of flies.
02:008:025 And Pharaoh called for
Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye,
sacrifice to your God
in the land.
02:008:026 And Moses said, It is
not meet so to do; for we shall
sacrifice the
abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our
God: lo, shall we
sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians
before their eyes, and
will they not stone us?
02:008:027 We will go three days'
journey into the wilderness, and
sacrifice to the LORD
our God, as he shall command us.
02:008:028 And Pharaoh said, I
will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to
the LORD your God in
the wilderness; only ye shall not go very
far away: intreat for
me.
02:008:029 And Moses said, Behold,
I go out from thee, and I will intreat
the LORD that the
swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh,
from his servants, and
from his people, to morrow: but let not
Pharaoh deal
deceitfully any more in not letting the people go
to sacrifice to the
LORD.
02:008:030 And Moses went out from
Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
02:008:031 And the LORD did
according to the word of Moses; and he
removed the swarms of
flies from Pharaoh, from his servants,
and from his people;
there remained not one.
02:008:032 And Pharaoh hardened
his heart at this time also, neither
would he let the people
go.
02:009:001 Then the LORD said unto
Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell
him, Thus saith the
LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go,
that they may serve me.
02:009:002 For if thou refuse to
let them go, and wilt hold them still,
02:009:003 Behold, the hand of the
LORD is upon thy cattle which is in
the field, upon the
horses, upon the asses, upon the camels,
upon the oxen, and upon
the sheep: there shall be a very
grievous murrain.
02:009:004 And the LORD shall
sever between the cattle of Israel and the
cattle of Egypt: and
there shall nothing die of all that is
the children's of
Israel.
02:009:005 And the LORD appointed
a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD
shall do this thing in
the land.
02:009:006 And the LORD did that
thing on the morrow, and all the cattle
of Egypt died: but of
the cattle of the children of Israel
died not one.
02:009:007 And Pharaoh sent, and,
behold, there was not one of the cattle
of the Israelites dead.
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened,
and he did not let the
people go.
02:009:008 And the LORD said unto
Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you
handfuls of ashes of
the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it
toward the heaven in
the sight of Pharaoh.
02:009:009 And it shall become
small dust in all the land of Egypt, and
shall be a boil
breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon
beast, throughout all
the land of Egypt.
02:009:010 And they took ashes of
the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh;
and Moses sprinkled it
up toward heaven; and it became a boil
breaking forth with
blains upon man, and upon beast.
02:009:011 And the magicians could
not stand before Moses because of the
boils; for the boil was
upon the magicians, and upon all the
Egyptians.
02:009:012 And the LORD hardened
the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened
not unto them; as the
LORD had spoken unto Moses.
02:009:013 And the LORD said unto
Moses, Rise up early in the morning,
and stand before
Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the
LORD God of the
Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve
me.
02:009:014 For I will at this time
send all my plagues upon thine heart,
and upon thy servants,
and upon thy people; that thou mayest
know that there is none
like me in all the earth.
02:009:015 For now I will stretch
out my hand, that I may smite thee and
thy people with
pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the
earth.
02:009:016 And in very deed for
this cause have I raised thee up, for to
shew in thee my power;
and that my name may be declared
throughout all the
earth.
02:009:017 As yet exaltest thou
thyself against my people, that thou wilt
not let them go?
02:009:018 Behold, to morrow about
this time I will cause it to rain a
very grievous hail,
such as hath not been in Egypt since the
foundation thereof even
until now.
02:009:019 Send therefore now, and
gather thy cattle, and all that thou
hast in the field; for
upon every man and beast which shall be
found in the field, and
shall not be brought home, the hail
shall come down upon
them, and they shall die.
02:009:020 He that feared the word
of the LORD among the servants of
Pharaoh made his
servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
02:009:021 And he that regarded
not the word of the LORD left his
servants and his cattle
in the field.
02:009:022 And the LORD said unto
Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward
heaven, that there may
be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon
man, and upon beast,
and upon every herb of the field,
throughout the land of
Egypt.
02:009:023 And Moses stretched
forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD
sent thunder and hail,
and the fire ran along upon the ground;
and the LORD rained
hail upon the land of Egypt.
02:009:024 So there was hail, and
fire mingled with the hail, very
grievous, such as there
was none like it in all the land of
Egypt since it became a
nation.
02:009:025 And the hail smote
throughout all the land of Egypt all that
was in the field, both
man and beast; and the hail smote every
herb of the field, and
brake every tree of the field.
02:009:026 Only in the land of
Goshen, where the children of Israel were,
was there no hail.
02:009:027 And Pharaoh sent, and
called for Moses and Aaron, and said
unto them, I have
sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and
I and my people are
wicked.
02:009:028 Intreat the LORD (for
it is enough) that there be no more
mighty thunderings and
hail; and I will let you go, and ye
shall stay no longer.
02:009:029 And Moses said unto
him, As soon as I am gone out of the city,
I will spread abroad my
hands unto the LORD; and the thunder
shall cease, neither
shall there be any more hail; that thou
mayest know how that
the earth is the LORD's.
02:009:030 But as for thee and thy
servants, I know that ye will not yet
fear the LORD God.
02:009:031 And the flax and the
barley was smitten: for the barley was in
the ear, and the flax
was bolled.
02:009:032 But the wheat and the
rie were not smitten: for they were not
grown up.
02:009:033 And Moses went out of
the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad
his hands unto the
LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and
the rain was not poured
upon the earth.
02:009:034 And when Pharaoh saw
that the rain and the hail and the
thunders were ceased,
he sinned yet more, and hardened his
heart, he and his
servants.
02:009:035 And the heart of
Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let
the children of Israel
go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
02:010:001 And the LORD said unto
Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have
hardened his heart, and
the heart of his servants, that I
might shew these my
signs before him:
02:010:002 And that thou mayest
tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy
son's son, what things
I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs
which I have done among
them; that ye may know how that I am
the LORD.
02:010:003 And Moses and Aaron
came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him,
Thus saith the LORD God
of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou
refuse to humble
thyself before me? let my people go, that
they may serve me.
02:010:004 Else, if thou refuse to
let my people go, behold, to morrow
will I bring the
locusts into thy coast:
02:010:005 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:
02:010:006 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.
02:010:007 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?
02:010:008 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?
02:010:009 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.
02:010:010 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.
02:010:011 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.
02:010:012 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.
02:010:013 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.
02:010:014 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.
02:010:015 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.
02:010:016 Then Pharaoh called for
Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said,
I have sinned against
the LORD your God, and against you.
02:010:017 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.
02:010:018 And he went out from
Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
02:010:019 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.
02:010:020 But the LORD hardened
Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not
let the children of
Israel go.
02:010:021 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.
02:010:022 And Moses stretched
forth his hand toward heaven; and there
was a thick darkness in
all the land of Egypt three days:
02:010:023 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.
02:010:024 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.
02:010:025 And Moses said, Thou
must give us also sacrifices and burnt
offerings, that we may
sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
02:010:026 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.
02:010:027 But the LORD hardened
Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let
them go.
02:010:028 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.
02:010:029 And Moses said, Thou
hast spoken well, I will see thy face
again no more.
02:011:001 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.
02:011:002 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.
02:011:003 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.
02:011:004 And Moses said, Thus
saith the LORD, About midnight will I go
out into the midst of
Egypt:
02:011:005 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.
02:011:006 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.
02:011:007 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.
02:011:008 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.
02:011:009 And the LORD said unto
Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto
you; that my wonders
may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
02:011:010 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.
02:012:001 And the LORD spake unto
Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt
saying,
02:012:002 This month shall be
unto you the beginning of months: it shall
be the first month of
the year to you.
02:012:003 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:
02:012:004 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.
02:012:005 Your lamb shall be
without blemish, a male of the first year:
ye shall take it out
from the sheep, or from the goats:
02:012:006 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.
02:012:007 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.
02:012:008 And they shall eat the
flesh in that night, roast with fire,
and unleavened bread;
and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
02:012:009 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.
02:012:010 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.
02:012:011 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.
02:012:012 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.
02:012:013 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.
02:012:014 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.
02:012:015 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.
02:012:016 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.
02:012:017 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.
02:012:018 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.
02:012:019 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.
02:012:020 Ye shall eat nothing
leavened; in all your habitations shall
ye eat unleavened
bread.
02:012:021 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.
02:012:022 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.
02:012:023 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.
02:012:024 And ye shall observe
this thing for an ordinance to thee and
to thy sons for ever.
02:012:025 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.
02:012:026 And it shall come to
pass, when your children shall say unto
you, What mean ye by
this service?
02:012:027 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.
02:012:028 And the children of
Israel went away, and did as the LORD had
commanded Moses and
Aaron, so did they.
02:012:029 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.
02:012:030 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.
02:012:031 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.
02:012:032 Also take your flocks
and your herds, as ye have said, and be
gone; and bless me
also.
02:012:033 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.
02:012:034 And the people took
their dough before it was leavened, their
kneadingtroughs being
bound up in their clothes upon their
shoulders.
02:012:035 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:
02:012:036 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.
02:012:037 And the children of
Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth,
about six hundred
thousand on foot that were men, beside
children.
02:012:038 And a mixed multitude
went up also with them; and flocks, and
herds, even very much
cattle.
02:012:039 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.
02:012:040 Now the sojourning of
the children of Israel, who dwelt in
Egypt, was four hundred
and thirty years.
02:012:041 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.
02:012:042 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.
02:012:043 And the LORD said unto
Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance
of the passover: There
shall no stranger eat thereof:
02:012:044 But every man's servant
that is bought for money, when thou
hast circumcised him,
then shall he eat thereof.
02:012:045 A foreigner and an
hired servant shall not eat thereof.
02:012:046 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.
02:012:047 All the congregation of
Israel shall keep it.
02:012:048 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.
02:012:049 One law shall be to him
that is homeborn, and unto the
stranger that
sojourneth among you.
02:012:050 Thus did all the
children of Israel; as the LORD commanded
Moses and Aaron, so did
they.
02:012:051 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.
02:013:001 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
02:013:002 Sanctify unto me all
the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the
womb among the children
of Israel, both of man and of beast:
it is mine.
02:013:003 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.
02:013:004 This day came ye out in
the month Abib.
02:013:005 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.
02:013:006 Seven days thou shalt
eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh
day shall be a feast to
the LORD.
02:013:007 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.
02:013:008 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.
02:013:009 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.
02:013:010 Thou shalt therefore
keep this ordinance in his season from
year to year.
02:013:011 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,
02:013:012 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.
02:013:013 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.
02:013:014 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:
02:013:015 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.
02:013:016 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.
02:013:017 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:
02:013:018 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.
02:013:019 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.
02:013:020 And they took their
journey from Succoth, and encamped in
Etham, in the edge of
the wilderness.
02:013:021 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:
02:013:022 He took not away the
pillar of the cloud by day, nor the
pillar of fire by
night, from before the people.
02:014:001 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
02:014:002 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.
02:014:003 For Pharaoh will say of
the children of Israel, They are
entangled in the land,
the wilderness hath shut them in.
02:014:004 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.
02:014:005 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?
02:014:006 And he made ready his
chariot, and took his people with him:
02:014:007 And he took six hundred
chosen chariots, and all the chariots
of Egypt, and captains
over every one of them.
02:014:008 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.
02:014:009 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.
02:014:010 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.
02:014:011 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?
02:014:012 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.
02:014:013 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.
02:014:014 The LORD shall fight
for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
02:014:015 And the LORD said unto
Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me?
speak unto the children
of Israel, that they go forward:
02:014:016 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.
02:014:017 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.
02:014:018 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.
02:014:019 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:
02:014:020 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.
02:014:021 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.
02:014:022 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.
02:014:023 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.
02:014:024 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,
02:014:025 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.
02:014:026 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.
02:014:027 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.
02:014:028 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.
02:014:029 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.
02:014:030 Thus the LORD saved
Israel that day out of the hand of the
Egyptians; and Israel
saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea
shore.
02:014:031 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.
02:015:001 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.
02:015:002 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.
02:015:003 The LORD is a man of
war: the LORD is his name.
02:015:004 Pharaoh's chariots and
his host hath he cast into the sea: his
chosen captains also
are drowned in the Red sea.
02:015:005 The depths have covered
them: they sank into the bottom as a
stone.
02:015:006 Thy right hand, O LORD,
is become glorious in power: thy right
hand, O LORD, hath
dashed in pieces the enemy.
02:015:007 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.
02:015:008 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.
02:015:009 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.
02:015:010 Thou didst blow with
thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank
as lead in the mighty
waters.
02:015:011 Who is like unto thee,
O LORD, among the gods? who is like
thee, glorious in
holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
02:015:012 Thou stretchedst out
thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
02:015:013 Thou in thy mercy hast
led forth the people which thou hast
redeemed: thou hast
guided them in thy strength unto thy holy
habitation.
02:015:014 The people shall hear,
and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold
on the inhabitants of
Palestina.
02:015:015 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.
02:015:016 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.
02:015:017 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.
02:015:018 The LORD shall reign
for ever and ever.
02:015:019 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.
02:015:020 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.
02:015:021 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.
02:015:022 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.
02:015:023 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.
02:015:024 And the people murmured
against Moses, saying, What shall we
drink?
02:015:025 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,
02:015:026 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.
02:015:027 And they came to Elim,
where were twelve wells of water, and
threescore and ten palm
trees: and they encamped there by the
waters.
02:016:001 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.
02:016:002 And the whole
congregation of the children of Israel murmured
against Moses and Aaron
in the wilderness:
02:016:003 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.
02:016:004 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.
02:016:005 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.
02:016:006 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:
02:016:007 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?
02:016:008 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.
02:016:009 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.
02:016:010 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.
02:016:011 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
02:016:012 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.
02:016:013 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.
02:016:014 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.
02:016:015 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.
02:016:016 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.
02:016:017 And the children of
Israel did so, and gathered, some more,
some less.
02:016:018 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.
02:016:019 And Moses said, Let no
man leave of it till the morning.
02:016:020 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.
02:016:021 And they gathered it
every morning, every man according to his
eating: and when the
sun waxed hot, it melted.
02:016:022 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.
02:016:023 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.
02:016:024 And they laid it up
till the morning, as Moses bade: and it
did not stink, neither
was there any worm therein.
02:016:025 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.
02:016:026 Six days ye shall
gather it; but on the seventh day, which is
the sabbath, in it
there shall be none.
02:016:027 And it came to pass,
that there went out some of the people on
the seventh day for to
gather, and they found none.
02:016:028 And the LORD said unto
Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my
commandments and my
laws?
02:016:029 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.
02:016:030 So the people rested on
the seventh day.
02:016:031 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.
02:016:032 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.
02:016:033 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.
02:016:034 As the LORD commanded
Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the
Testimony, to be kept.
02:016:035 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.
02:016:036 Now an omer is the
tenth part of an ephah.
02:017:001 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.
02:017:002 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?
02:017:003 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?
02:017:004 And Moses cried unto
the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto
this people? they be
almost ready to stone me.
02:017:005 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.
02:017:006 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.
02:017:007 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?
02:017:008 Then came Amalek, and
fought with Israel in Rephidim.
02:017:009 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.
02:017:010 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.
02:017:011 And it came to pass,
when Moses held up his hand, that Israel
prevailed: and when he
let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
02:017:012 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.
02:017:013 And Joshua discomfited
Amalek and his people with the edge of
the sword.
02:017:014 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.
02:017:015 And Moses built an
altar, and called the name of it
Jehovahnissi:
02:017:016 For he said, Because
the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will
have war with Amalek
from generation to generation.
02:018:001 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;
02:018:002 Then Jethro, Moses'
father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife,
after he had sent her
back,
02:018:003 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:
02:018:004 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:
02:018:005 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:
02:018:006 And he said unto Moses,
I thy father in law Jethro am come
unto thee, and thy
wife, and her two sons with her.
02:018:007 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.
02:018:008 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.
02:018:009 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.
02:018:010 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.
02:018:011 Now I know that the
LORD is greater than all gods: for in the
thing wherein they
dealt proudly he was above them.
02:018:012 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.
02:018:013 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.
02:018:014 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?
02:018:015 And Moses said unto his
father in law, Because the people come
unto me to enquire of
God:
02:018:016 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.
02:018:017 And Moses' father in
law said unto him, The thing that thou
doest is not good.
02:018:018 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.
02:018:019 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:
02:018:020 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.
02:018:021 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:
02:018:022 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.
02:018:023 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.
02:018:024 So Moses hearkened to
the voice of his father in law, and did
all that he had said.
02:018:025 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.
02:018:026 And they judged the
people at all seasons: the hard causes
they brought unto
Moses, but every small matter they judged
themselves.
02:018:027 And Moses let his
father in law depart; and he went his way
into his own land.
02:019:001 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.
02:019:002 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.
02:019:003 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;
02:019:004 Ye have seen what I did
unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you
on eagles' wings, and
brought you unto myself.
02:019:005 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:
02:019:006 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.
02:019:007 And Moses came and
called for the elders of the people, and
laid before their faces
all these words which the LORD
commanded him.
02:019:008 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.
02:019:009 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.
02:019:010 And the LORD said unto
Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify
them to day and to
morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
02:019:011 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.
02:019:012 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:
02:019:013 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.
02:019:014 And Moses went down
from the mount unto the people, and
sanctified the people;
and they washed their clothes.
02:019:015 And he said unto the
people, Be ready against the third day:
come not at your wives.
02:019:016 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.
02:019:017 And Moses brought forth
the people out of the camp to meet
with God; and they
stood at the nether part of the mount.
02:019:018 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.
02:019:019 And when the voice of
the trumpet sounded long, and waxed
louder and louder,
Moses spake, and God answered him by a
voice.
02:019:020 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.
02:019:021 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.
02:019:022 And let the priests
also, which come near to the LORD,
sanctify themselves,
lest the LORD break forth upon them.
02:019:023 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.
02:019:024 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.
02:019:025 So Moses went down unto
the people, and spake unto them.
02:020:001 And God spake all these
words, saying,
02:020:002 I am the LORD thy God,
which have brought thee out of the land
of Egypt, out of the
house of bondage.
02:020:003 Thou shalt have no
other gods before me.
02:020:004 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.
02:020:005 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;
02:020:006 And shewing mercy unto
thousands of them that love me, and
keep my commandments.
02:020:007 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.
02:020:008 Remember the sabbath
day, to keep it holy.
02:020:009 Six days shalt thou
labour, and do all thy work:
02:020:010 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:
02:020:011 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.
02:020:012 Honour thy father and
thy mother: that thy days may be long
upon the land which the
LORD thy God giveth thee.
02:020:013 Thou shalt not kill.
02:020:014 Thou shalt not commit
adultery.
02:020:015 Thou shalt not steal.
02:020:016 Thou shalt not bear
false witness against thy neighbour.
02:020:017 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.
02:020:018 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.
02:020:019 And they said unto
Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will
hear: but let not God
speak with us, lest we die.
02:020:020 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.
02:020:021 And the people stood
afar off, and Moses drew near unto the
thick darkness where
God was.
02:020:022 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.
02:020:023 Ye shall not make with
me gods of silver, neither shall ye
make unto you gods of
gold.
02:020:024 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.
02:020:025 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.
02:020:026 Neither shalt thou go
up by steps unto mine altar, that thy
nakedness be not
discovered thereon.
02:021:001 Now these are the
judgments which thou shalt set before them.
02:021:002 If thou buy an Hebrew
servant, six years he shall serve: and
in the seventh he shall
go out free for nothing.
02:021:003 If he came in by
himself, he shall go out by himself: if he
were married, then his
wife shall go out with him.
02:021:004 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.
02:021:005 And if the servant
shall plainly say, I love my master, my
wife, and my children;
I will not go out free:
02:021:006 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.
02:021:007 And if a man sell his
daughter to be a maidservant, she shall
not go out as the
menservants do.
02:021:008 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.
02:021:009 And if he have
betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with
her after the manner of
daughters.
02:021:010 If he take him another
wife; her food, her raiment, and her
duty of marriage, shall
he not diminish.
02:021:011 And if he do not these
three unto her, then shall she go out
free without money.
02:021:012 He that smiteth a man,
so that he die, shall be surely put to
death.
02:021:013 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.
02:021:014 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.
02:021:015 And he that smiteth his
father, or his mother, shall be surely
put to death.
02:021:016 And he that stealeth a
man, and selleth him, or if he be found
in his hand, he shall
surely be put to death.
02:021:017 And he that curseth his
father, or his mother, shall surely be
put to death.
02:021:018 And if men strive
together, and one smite another with a
stone, or with his
fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
02:021:019 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.
02:021:020 And if a man smite his
servant, or his maid, with a rod, and
he die under his hand;
he shall be surely punished.
02:021:021 Notwithstanding, if he
continue a day or two, he shall not be
punished: for he is his
money.
02:021:022 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.
02:021:023 And if any mischief
follow, then thou shalt give life for
life,
02:021:024 Eye for eye, tooth for
tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
02:021:025 Burning for burning,
wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
02:021:026 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.
02:021:027 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.
02:021:028 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.
02:021:029 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.
02:021:030 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.
02:021:031 Whether he have gored a
son, or have gored a daughter,
according to this
judgment shall it be done unto him.
02:021:032 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.
02:021:033 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;
02:021:034 The owner of the pit
shall make it good, and give money unto
the owner of them; and
the dead beast shall be his.
02:021:035 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.
02:021:036 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.
02:022:001 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.
02:022:002 If a thief be found
breaking up, and be smitten that he die,
there shall no blood be
shed for him.
02:022:003 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.
02:022:004 If the theft be
certainly found in his hand alive, whether it
be ox, or ass, or
sheep; he shall restore double.
02:022:005 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.
02:022:006 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.
02:022:007 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.
02:022:008 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.
02:022:009 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.
02:022:010 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:
02:022:011 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.
02:022:012 And if it be stolen
from him, he shall make restitution unto
the owner thereof.
02:022:013 If it be torn in
pieces, then let him bring it for witness,
and he shall not make
good that which was torn.
