Psalm 90
-
Now these [are] the names of the children of Israel,
which came into Egypt; every man and his household came
with Jacob.
-
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
-
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
-
Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
-
And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob
were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt [already].
-
And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that
generation.
-
And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased
abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty;
and the land was filled with them.
-
Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not
Joseph.
-
And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the
children of Israel [are] more and mightier than we:
-
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.
-
Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict
them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh
treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
-
But the more they afflicted them, the more they
multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the
children of Israel.
-
And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve
with rigour:
-
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.
-
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:
-
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.
-
But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of
Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
-
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?
-
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.
-
Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the
people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
-
And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God,
that he made them houses.
-
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.
-
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took [to
wife] a daughter of Levi.
-
And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw
him that he [was a] goodly [child], she hid him three
months.
-
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.
-
And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done
to him.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid
went and called the child's mother.
-
And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child
away, and nurse it for me, and I will give [thee] thy
wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they
came and drew [water], and filled the troughs to water
their father's flock.
-
And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses
stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
-
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How
[is it that] ye are come so soon to day?
-
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.
-
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.
-
And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave
Moses Zipporah his daughter.
-
And she bare [him] a son, and he called his name Gershom:
for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
-
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.
-
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his
covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
-
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had
respect unto [them].
-
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.
-
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.
-
And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great
sight, why the bush is not burnt.
-
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.
-
And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from
off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest [is]
holy ground.
-
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.
-
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;
-
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.
-
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.
-
Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh,
that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of
Israel out of Egypt.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go,
no, not by a mighty hand.
-
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.
-
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
And the LORD said unto him, What [is] that in thine hand?
And he said, A rod.
-
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.
-
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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].
-
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.
-
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?
-
Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach
thee what thou shalt say.
-
And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand
[of him whom] thou wilt send.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith
thou shalt do signs.
-
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.
-
And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into
Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD,
Israel [is] my son, [even] my firstborn:
-
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.
-
And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD
met him, and sought to kill him.
-
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.
-
So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband [thou
art], because of the circumcision.
-
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.
-
And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had
sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
-
And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the
elders of the children of Israel:
-
And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken
unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now
[are] many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
-
And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the
people, and their officers, saying,
-
Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as
heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
-
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.
-
Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may
labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
-
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.
-
Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought
of your work shall be diminished.
-
So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the
land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
-
And the taskmasters hasted [them], saying, Fulfil your
works, [your] daily tasks, as when there was straw.
-
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?
-
Then the officers of the children of Israel came and
cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus
with thy servants?
-
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.
-
But he said, Ye [are] idle, [ye are] idle: therefore ye
say, Let us go [and] do sacrifice to the LORD.
-
Go therefore now, [and] work; for there shall no straw be
given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
-
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.
-
And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as
they came forth from Pharaoh:
-
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.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I [am] the
LORD:
-
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.
-
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.
-
And I have also heard the groaning of the children of
Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have
remembered my covenant.
-
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they
hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for
cruel bondage.
-
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the
children of Israel go out of his land.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their
families.
-
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.
-
And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these [are] the
families of Levi according to their generations.
-
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.
-
And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
-
And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and
Zithri.
-
And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab,
sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and
Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
-
And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph:
these [are] the families of the Korhites.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And it came to pass on the day [when] the LORD spake unto
Moses in the land of Egypt,
-
That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I [am] the LORD:
speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto
thee.
-
And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I [am] of
uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto
me?
-
And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god
to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
-
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.
-
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my
signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so
did they.
-
And Moses [was] fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore
and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
-
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
-
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.
-
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.
-
Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers:
now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner
with their enchantments.
-
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became
serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
-
And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened
not unto them; as the LORD had said.
-
And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart [is]
hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did
he set his heart to this also.
-
And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for
water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of
the river.
-
And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had
smitten the river.
-
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.
-
And if thou refuse to let [them] go, behold, I will smite
all thy borders with frogs:
-
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:
-
And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy
people, and upon all thy servants.
-
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.
-
And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of
Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of
Egypt.
-
And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and
brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses
cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had
brought against Pharaoh.
-
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.
-
And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land
stank.
-
But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened
his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had
said.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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].
-
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.
-
And I will put a division between my people and thy
people: to morrow shall this sign be.
-
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].
-
And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go
ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.
-
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?
-
We will go three days' journey into the wilderness,
and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command
us.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
-
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.
-
And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither
would he let the people go.
-
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.
-
For if thou refuse to let [them] go, and wilt hold them
still,
-
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.
-
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.
-
And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the
LORD shall do this thing in the land.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of
the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon
all the Egyptians.
-
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he
hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto
Moses.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou
wilt not let them go?
-
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.
-
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.
-
He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of
Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the
houses:
-
And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his
servants and his cattle in the field.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel
[were], was there no hail.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not
yet fear the LORD God.
-
And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley
[was] in the ear, and the flax [was] bolled.
-
But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they
[were] not grown up.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he
let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by
Moses.
-
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to
morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
-
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:
-
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.
-
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?
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and
rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous [were
they]; before them there were no such locusts as they,
neither after them shall be such.
-
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.
-
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he
said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and
against you.
-
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.
-
And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
-
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.
-
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he
would not let the children of Israel go.
-
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.
-
And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and
there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three
days:
-
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.
-
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.
-
And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and
burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our
God.
-
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.
-
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would
not let them go.
-
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.
-
And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy
face again no more.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will
I go out into the midst of Egypt:
-
And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die,
from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his
throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that
[is] behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken
unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land
of Egypt.
-
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.
-
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of
Egypt, saying,
-
This month [shall be] unto you the beginning of months:
it [shall be] the first month of the year to you.
-
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:
-
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.
-
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first
year: ye shall take [it] out from the sheep, or from the
goats:
-
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.
-
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.
-
And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with
fire, and unleavened bread; [and] with bitter [herbs]
they shall eat it.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations
shall ye eat unleavened bread.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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].
-
And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee
and to thy sons for ever.
-
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.
-
And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say
unto you, What mean ye by this service?
-
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.
-
And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD
had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said,
and be gone; and bless me also.
-
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].
-
And the people took their dough before it was leavened,
their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes
upon their shoulders.
-
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:
-
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.
-
And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to
Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot [that were]
men, beside children.
-
And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks,
and herds, [even] very much cattle.
-
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.
-
Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt
in Egypt, [was] four hundred and thirty years.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This [is] the
ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat
thereof:
-
But every man's servant that is bought for money,
when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat
thereof.
-
A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
-
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.
-
All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
-
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.
-
One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the
stranger that sojourneth among you.
-
Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD
commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
-
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.
-
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth
the womb among the children of Israel, [both] of man and
of beast: it [is] mine.
-
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.
-
This day came ye out in the month Abib.
-
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.
-
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the
seventh day [shall be] a feast to the LORD.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season
from year to year.
-
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,
-
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.
-
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.
-
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in
Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
-
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:
-
He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the
pillar of fire by night, [from] before the people.
-
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
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.
-
For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They
[are] entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut
them in.
-
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.
-
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?
-
And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with
him:
-
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the
chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
[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.
-
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.
-
The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your
peace.
-
And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto
me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go
forward:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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,
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of
the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the
sea shore.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.
-
Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the
sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
-
The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom
as a stone.
-
Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy
right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they
sank as lead in the mighty waters.
-
Who [is] like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who [is]
like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful [in] praises,
doing wonders?
-
Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed
them.
-
Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people [which] thou
hast redeemed: thou hast guided [them] in thy strength
unto thy holy habitation.
-
The people shall hear, [and] be afraid: sorrow shall take
hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall
we drink?
-
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,
-
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.
-
And they came to Elim, where [were] twelve wells of
water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they
encamped there by the waters.
-
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.
-
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel
murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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:
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some
more, some less.
-
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.
-
And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
-
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.
-
And they gathered it every morning, every man according
to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and
it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
-
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.
-
Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day,
[which is] the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
-
And it came to pass, [that] there went out [some] of the
people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found
none.
-
And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep
my commandments and my laws?
-
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.
-
So the people rested on the seventh day.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before
the Testimony, to be kept.
-
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.
-
Now an omer [is] the tenth [part] of an ephah.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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?
-
And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do
unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that
Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek
prevailed.
-
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.
-
And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the
edge of the sword.
-
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.
-
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it
Jehovahnissi:
-
For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn [that] the LORD
[will have] war with Amalek from generation to
generation.
-
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;
-
Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah,
Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,
-
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:
-
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:
-
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:
-
And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am
come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Now I know that the LORD [is] greater than all gods: for
in the thing wherein they dealt proudly [he was] above
them.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people
come unto me to enquire of God:
-
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.
-
And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing
that thou doest [is] not good.
-
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.
-
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:
-
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.
-
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and
did all that he had said.
-
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.
-
And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard
causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter
they judged themselves.
-
And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his
way into his own land.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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;
-
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and [how] I
bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto
myself.
-
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:
-
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.
-
And Moses came and called for the elders of the people,
and laid before their faces all these words which the
LORD commanded him.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and
sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash
their clothes,
-
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.
-
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:
-
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.
-
And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and
sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
-
And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third
day: come not at [your] wives.
-
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.
-
And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to
meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the
mount.
-
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.
-
And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed
louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a
voice.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD,
sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
-
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.
-
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.
-
So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
-
And God spake all these words, saying,
-
I [am] the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of
the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
-
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
-
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:
-
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;
-
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me,
and keep my commandments.
-
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.
-
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
-
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
-
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:
-
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.
-
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be
long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
-
Thou shalt not kill.
-
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
-
Thou shalt not steal.
-
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will
hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
-
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.
-
And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto
the thick darkness where God [was].
-
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.
-
Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall
ye make unto you gods of gold.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that
thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
-
Now these [are] the judgments which thou shalt set before
them.
-
If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve:
and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
-
If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if
he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
-
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.
-
And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master,
my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
-
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.
-
And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she
shall not go out as the menservants do.
-
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.
-
And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal
with her after the manner of daughters.
-
If he take him another [wife]; her food, her raiment, and
her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
-
And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go
out free without money.
-
He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely
put to death.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be
surely put to death.
-
And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be
found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
-
And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall
surely be put to death.
-
And if men strive together, and one smite another with a
stone, or with [his] fist, and he die not, but keepeth
[his] bed:
-
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.
-
And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod,
and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
-
Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall
not be punished: for he [is] his money.
-
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].
-
And if [any] mischief follow, then thou shalt give life
for life,
-
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for
foot,
-
Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter,
according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.
-
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.
-
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;
-
The owner of the pit shall make [it] good, [and] give
money unto the owner of them; and the dead [beast] shall
be his.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he
die, [there shall] no blood [be shed] for him.
-
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.
-
If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive,
whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore
double.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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]:
-
[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.
-
And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution
unto the owner thereof.
-
If it be torn in pieces, [then] let him bring it [for]
witness, [and] he shall not make good that which was
torn.
-
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.
-
[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.
-
And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie
with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
-
If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he
shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
-
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
-
Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to
death.
-
He that sacrificeth unto [any] god, save unto the LORD
only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
-
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for
ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
-
Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
-
If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all
unto me, I will surely hear their cry;
-
And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the
sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children
fatherless.
-
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.
-
If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to
pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun
goeth down:
-
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.
-
Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of
thy people.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand
with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
-
Thou shalt not follow a multitude to [do] evil; neither
shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to
wrest [judgment]:
-
Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
-
If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going
astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
-
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.
-
Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his
cause.
-
Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and
righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the
wicked.
-
And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the
wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
-
Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the
heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land
of Egypt.
-
And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather
in the fruits thereof:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
-
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:)
-
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.
-
Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before
the Lord GOD.
-
Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with
leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice
remain until the morning.
-
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.
-
Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the
way, and to bring thee into the place which I have
prepared.
-
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for
he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name [is]
in him.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in
thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
-
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.
-
And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive
out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from
before thee.
-
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.
-
By little and little I will drive them out from before
thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
-
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.
-
Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their
gods.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And Moses alone shall come
