GetPassageurn:cts:pbc:bible.parallel.eng.kingjames:2urn:cts:pbc:bible.parallel.eng.kingjames:2Now 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 Pharoah 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 Pi-hahiroth , between Migdol and the sea , over against Baal-zephon : 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 Pi-hahiroth , before Baal-zephon . 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 Jehovah-nissi : 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 inquire 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 Godward , 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 , and 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 near the LORD : but they shall not come nigh ; neither shall the people go up with him . And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD , and all the judgments : and all the people answered with one voice , and said , All the words which the LORD hath said will we do . And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD , and rose up early in the morning , and builded an altar under the hill , and twelve pillars , according to the twelve tribes of Israel . And he sent young men of the children of Israel , which offered burnt offerings , and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD . And Moses took half of the blood , and put it in basons ; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar . And he took the book of the covenant , and read in the audience of the people : and they said , All that the LORD hath said will we do , and be obedient . And Moses took the blood , and sprinkled it on the people , and said , Behold the blood of the covenant , which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words . Then went up Moses , and Aaron , Nadab , and Abihu , and seventy of the elders of Israel : And they saw the God of Israel : and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone , and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness . And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand : also they saw God , and did eat and drink . And the LORD said unto Moses , Come up to me into the mount , and be there : and I will give thee tables of stone , and a law , and commandments which I have written ; that thou mayest teach them . And Moses rose up , and his minister Joshua : and Moses went up into the mount of God . And he said unto the elders , Tarry ye here for us , until we come again unto you : and , behold , Aaron and Hur are with you : if any man have any matters to do , let him come unto them . And Moses went up into the mount , and a cloud covered the mount . And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai , and the cloud covered it six days : and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud . And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel . And Moses went into the midst of the cloud , and gat him up into the mount : and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights . And the LORD spake unto Moses , saying , Speak unto the children of Israel , that they bring me an offering : of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering . And this is the offering which ye shall take of them ; gold , and silver , and brass , And blue , and purple , and scarlet , and fine linen , and goats' hair , And rams' skins dyed red , and badgers' skins , and shittim wood , Oil for the light , spices for anointing oil , and for sweet incense , Onyx stones , and stones to be set in the ephod , and in the breastplate . And let them make me a sanctuary ; that I may dwell among them . According to all that I shew thee , after the pattern of the tabernacle , and the pattern of all the instruments thereof , even so shall ye make it . And they shall make an ark of shittim wood : two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof , and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof , and a cubit and a half the height thereof . And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold , within and without shalt thou overlay it , and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about . And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it , and put them in the four corners thereof ; and two rings shall be in the one side of it , and two rings in the other side of it . And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood , and overlay them with gold . And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark , that the ark may be borne with them . The staves shall be in the rings of the ark : they shall not be taken from it . And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee . And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold : two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof , and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof . And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold , of beaten work shalt thou make them , in the two ends of the mercy seat . And make one cherub on the one end , and the other cherub on the other end : even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof . And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high , covering the mercy seat with their wings , and their faces shall look one to another ; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be . And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark ; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee . And there I will meet with thee , and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat , from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony , of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel . Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood : two cubits shall be the length thereof , and a cubit the breadth thereof , and a cubit and a half the height thereof . And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold , and make thereto a crown of gold round about . And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about , and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about . And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold , and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof . Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table . And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood , and overlay them with gold , that the table may be borne with them . And thou shalt make the dishes thereof , and spoons thereof , and covers thereof , and bowls thereof , to cover withal : of pure gold shalt thou make them . And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway . And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold : of beaten work shall the candlestick be made : his shaft , and his branches , his bowls , his knops , and his flowers , shall be of the same . And six branches shall come out of the sides of it ; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side , and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side : Three bowls made like unto almonds , with a knop and a flower in one branch ; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch , with a knop and a flower : so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick . And in the candlestick shall be four bowls made like unto almonds , with their knops and their flowers . And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same , and a knop under two branches of the same , and a knop under two branches of the same , according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick . Their knops and their branches shall be of the same : all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold . And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof : and they shall light the lamps thereof , that they may give light over against it . And the tongs thereof , and the snuffdishes thereof , shall be of pure gold . Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it , with all these vessels . And look that thou make them after their pattern , which was shewed thee in the mount . Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen , and blue , and purple , and scarlet : with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them . The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits , and the breadth of one curtain four cubits : and every one of the curtains shall have one measure . The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another ; and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another . And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling ; and likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of another curtain , in the coupling of the second .

And thou shalt make fifty taches of brass , and put the taches into the loops , and couple the tent together , that it may be one . And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent , the half curtain that remaineth , shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle . And a cubit on the one side , and a cubit on the other side of that which remaineth in the length of the curtains of the tent , it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side , to cover it .

And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount . And thou shalt make a vail of blue , and purple , and scarlet , and fine twined linen of cunning work : with cherubims shall it be made : And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold : their hooks shall be of gold , upon the four sockets of silver . And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches , that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony : and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy . And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place . And thou shalt set the table without the vail , and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south : and thou shalt put the table on the north side . And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent , of blue , and purple , and scarlet , and fine twined linen , wrought with needlework .

And thou shalt make staves for the altar , staves of shittim wood , and overlay them with brass . And the staves shall be put into the rings , and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar , to bear it . Hollow with boards shalt thou make it : as it was shewed thee in the mount , so shall they make it . And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle : for the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen of an hundred cubits long for one side : And the twenty pillars thereof and their twenty sockets shall be of brass ; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver .

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