\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And these are the names of the sons of Israel who had come into Egypt; with Jacob had they come, each with his household:
\VS{2}Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
\VS{3}Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
\VS{4}Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.
\VS{5}And all the souls that had come out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls; and Joseph was in Egypt.
\VS{6}And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
\VS{7}And the children of Israel were fruitful, and swarmed and multiplied, and became exceeding strong; and the land was full of them.
\VS{8}And there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
\VS{9}And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more numerous and stronger than we.
\VS{10}Come on, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass that, if war occur, they take side with our enemies and fight against us, and go up out of the land.
\VS{11}And they set over them service-masters to oppress them with their burdens. And they built store-cities for Pharaoh, Pithom and Rameses.
\VS{12}But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and spread; and they were distressed because of the children of Israel.
\VS{13}And the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with harshness;
\VS{14}and they embittered their life with hard labour in clay and bricks, and in all manner of labour in the field: all their labour with which they made them serve was with harshness.
\VS{15}And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives — of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other was Puah —
\VS{16}and he said, When ye help the Hebrew women in bearing, and see [them] on the stool, if it be a son, then ye shall kill him, but if a daughter, then she shall live.
\VS{17}But the midwives feared
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:17 }Elohim}God, and did not as the king of Egypt had said to them, but saved the male children alive.
\VS{18}And the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, Why have ye done this, and saved the male children alive?
\VS{19}And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian; for they are strong, and they have borne before the midwife comes to them.
\VS{20}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:20 }Elohim}God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and became very strong.
\VS{21}And it came to pass, because the midwives feared
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:21 }Elohim}God, that he made them houses.
\VS{22}Then Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, but every daughter ye shall save alive.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And a man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi.
\VS{2}And the woman conceived, and bore a son. And she saw him that he was fair, and hid him three months.
\VS{3}And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of reeds, and plastered it with resin and with pitch, and put the child in it, and laid [it] in the sedge on the bank of the river.
\VS{4}And his sister stood afar off to see what would happen to him.
\VS{5}And the daughter of Pharaoh went down to bathe in the river; and her maids went along by the river's side. And she saw the ark in the midst of the sedge, and sent her handmaid and fetched it.
\VS{6}And she opened [it], and saw the child, and behold, the boy wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is [one] of the Hebrews' children.
\VS{7}And his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call thee a wet-nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
\VS{8}And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the damsel went and called the child's mother.
\VS{9}And Pharaoh's daughter said to 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.
\VS{10}And when the child was grown, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said, Because I drew him out of the water.
\VS{11}And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
\VS{12}And he turned this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
\VS{13}And he went out on the second day, and behold, two Hebrew men were quarrelling; and he said to him that was in the wrong, Why art thou smiting thy neighbour?
\VS{14}And he said, Who made thee ruler and judge over us? dost thou intend to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? Then Moses feared, and said, Surely the matter is known.
\VS{15}And Pharaoh heard of this matter, and sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from before Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian. And he sat by the well.
\VS{16}And the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew [water], and filled the troughs, to water their father's flock.
\VS{17}And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses rose and helped them, and watered their flock.
\VS{18}And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, Why are ye come so soon to-day?
\VS{19}And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew [water] abundantly for us, and watered the flock.
\VS{20}And he said to his daughters, And where is he? why then have ye left the man behind? Call him, that he may eat bread.
\VS{21}And Moses consented to remain with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
\VS{22}And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.
\VS{23}And it came to pass during those many days, that the king of Egypt died. And the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and cried; and their cry came up to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:23 }Elohim}God because of the bondage;
\VS{24}and
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:24 }Elohim}God heard their groaning, and
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:24 }Elohim}God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
\VS{25}and
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:25 }Elohim}God looked upon the children of Israel, and
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:25 }Elohim}God acknowledged [them].

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Moses tended the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock behind the wilderness, and came to the mountain of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:1 }Elohim}God — to Horeb.
\VS{2}And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a thorn-bush: and he looked, and behold, the thorn-bush burned with fire, and the thorn-bush was not being consumed.
\VS{3}And Moses said, Let me now turn aside and see this great sight, why the thorn-bush is not burnt.
\VS{4}And Jehovah saw that he turned aside to see, and
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:4 }Elohim}God called to him out of the midst of the thorn-bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I.
\VS{5}And he said, Draw not nigh hither: loose thy sandals from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
\VS{6}And he said, I am the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:6 }Elohim}God of thy father, the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:6 }Elohim}God of Abraham, the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:6 }Elohim}God of Isaac, and the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:6 }Elohim}God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:6 }Elohim}God.
\VS{7}And Jehovah said, I have seen assuredly the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and their cry have I heard on account of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows.
\VS{8}And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good and spacious land, 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.
\VS{9}And now behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me; and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
\VS{10}And now come, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
\VS{11}And Moses said to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:11 }Elohim}God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
\VS{12}And he said, For I will be with thee; and this shall be the sign to thee that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:12 }Elohim}God upon this mountain.
\VS{13}And Moses said to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:13 }Elohim}God, Behold, [when] I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:13 }Elohim}God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
\VS{14}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:14 }Elohim}God said to 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.
\VS{15}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:15 }Elohim}God said moreover to Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: Jehovah, the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:15 }Elohim}God of your fathers, the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:15 }Elohim}God of Abraham, the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:15 }Elohim}God of Isaac, and the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:15 }Elohim}God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you. This is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
\VS{16}Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, Jehovah the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:16 }Elohim}God of your fathers, the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:16 }Elohim}God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, hath appeared to me, saying, I have indeed visited you, and [seen] that which is done unto you in Egypt;
\VS{17}and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.
\VS{18}And they shall hearken to thy voice. And thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, Jehovah, the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:18 }Elohim}God of the Hebrews, hath met with us; and now, let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:18 }Elohim}God.
\VS{19}But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a powerful hand.
\VS{20}And I will stretch out my hand and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof; and after that he will let you go.
\VS{21}And I will give this people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it shall come to pass, when ye go out, that ye shall not go out empty;
\VS{22}but every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that is the inmate of her house, utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and clothing; and ye shall put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and shall spoil the Egyptians.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Moses answered and said, But behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice; for they will say, Jehovah has not appeared to thee.
\VS{2}And Jehovah said to him, What is that in thy hand? And he said, A staff.
\VS{3}And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
\VS{4}And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand and take it by the tail — and he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand —
\VS{5}that they may believe that Jehovah, the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:5 }Elohim}God of their fathers, the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:5 }Elohim}God of Abraham, the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:5 }Elohim}God of Isaac, and the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:5 }Elohim}God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
\VS{6}And Jehovah said moreover to him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom, and took it out, and behold, his hand was leprous, as snow.
\VS{7}And he said, Put thy hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again, and took it out of his bosom, and behold, it was turned again as his flesh.
\VS{8}And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the other sign.
\VS{9}And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also those two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour [it] on the dry [land]; and the water that thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry [land].
\VS{10}And Moses said to Jehovah, Ah Lord! I am not eloquent, neither heretofore nor since thou hast spoken to thy servant, for I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue.
\VS{11}And Jehovah said to him, Who gave man a mouth? or who maketh dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? [have] not I, Jehovah?
\VS{12}And now go, and I will be with thy mouth, and will teach thee what thou shalt say.
\VS{13}And he said, Ah Lord! send, I pray thee, by the hand [of him whom] thou wilt send.
\VS{14}Then the anger of Jehovah 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 goeth out to meet thee; and when he seeth thee he will be glad in his heart.
\VS{15}And thou shalt speak unto him, and put the words in his mouth; and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
\VS{16}And he shall speak for thee unto the people; and it shall come to pass that he shall be to thee for a mouth, and thou shalt be to him for
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:16 }Elohim}God.
\VS{17}And thou shalt take this staff in thy hand, with which thou shalt do the signs.
\VS{18}And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return to my brethren who are in Egypt, that I may see whether they are yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
\VS{19}And Jehovah said to Moses in Midian, Go, return to Egypt; for all the men are dead who sought thy life.
\VS{20}And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them riding upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt. And Moses took the staff of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:20 }Elohim}God in his hand.
\VS{21}And Jehovah said to Moses, When thou goest to return to Egypt, see that thou do all the wonders before Pharaoh that I have put in thy hand. And I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
\VS{22}And thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah: Israel is my son, my firstborn.
\VS{23}And I say to thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me. And if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill thy son, thy firstborn.
\VS{24}And it came to pass on the way, in the inn, that Jehovah came upon him, and sought to slay him.
\VS{25}Then Zipporah took a stone and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, A bloody husband indeed art thou to me!
\VS{26}And he let him go. Then she said, A bloody husband — because of the circumcision.
\VS{27}And Jehovah said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him on the mountain of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:27 }Elohim}God, and kissed him.
\VS{28}And Moses told Aaron all the words of Jehovah who had sent him, and all the signs that he had commanded him.
\VS{29}And Moses and Aaron went and gathered all the elders of the children of Israel;
\VS{30}and Aaron spoke all the words that Jehovah had spoken to Moses, and did the signs before the eyes of the people.
\VS{31}And the people believed. And when they heard that Jehovah had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And afterwards Moses and Aaron went in, and said to Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:1 }Elohim}God of Israel, Let my people go that they may celebrate a feast to me in the wilderness.
\VS{2}And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, to whose voice I am to hearken to let Israel go? I do not know Jehovah, neither will I let Israel go.
\VS{3}And they said, The
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:3 }Elohim}God of the Hebrews has met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:3 }Elohim}God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with sword.
\VS{4}And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, wish to have the people go off from their works? Away, to your burdens!
\VS{5}And Pharaoh said, Behold the people of the land are now many, and ye wish to make them rest from their burdens.
\VS{6}And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
\VS{7}Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
\VS{8}And the number of the bricks they have made heretofore shall ye lay upon them: ye shall not diminish any of it, for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go [and] sacrifice to our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:8 }Elohim}God.
\VS{9}Let them put heavier labour on the men, that they may be taken up with it, and not regard vain words.
\VS{10}And the taskmasters of the people and their officers went out and spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Pharaoh: I will not give you straw:
\VS{11}go ye, get yourselves straw where ye may find it; but none of your work shall be diminished.
\VS{12}And the people were scattered abroad throughout the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
\VS{13}And the taskmasters urged [them], saying, Fulfil your labours, the daily work, as when there was straw.
\VS{14}And the officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, [and] it was said, Why have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both yesterday and to-day, as heretofore?
\VS{15}Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, Why dost thou deal thus with thy bondmen?
\VS{16}There is no straw given to thy bondmen, and they say to us, Make brick; and behold, thy bondmen are beaten, but it is the fault of thy people.
\VS{17}And he said, Ye are idle, idle! therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice to Jehovah.
\VS{18}And now go — work! and straw shall not be given you, and ye shall deliver the measure of bricks.
\VS{19}And the officers of the children of Israel saw [that] it stood ill with them, because it was said, Ye shall not diminish anything from your bricks, the daily work.
\VS{20}And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood there to meet them, as they came out from Pharaoh.
\VS{21}And they said to them, Jehovah look upon you and judge, that ye have made our odour to stink in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his bondmen, putting a sword into their hand to kill us!
\VS{22}And Moses returned to Jehovah, and said, Lord, why hast thou done evil to this people? why now hast thou sent me?
\VS{23}For ever 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!

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Jehovah said to Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh; for by a strong hand shall he let them go, and by a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
\VS{2}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:2 }Elohim}God spoke to Moses, and said to him, I am Jehovah.
\VS{3}And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as the Almighty
\FTNT{*}{{\FR 6:3 }El}God; but by my name Jehovah I was not made known to them.
\VS{4}And I established also my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were sojourners.
\VS{5}And I have heard also the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians have forced to serve, and I have remembered my covenant.
\VS{6}Therefore say unto the children of Israel, I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their service, and I will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and with great judgments.
\VS{7}And I will take you to me for a people, and will be your
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:7 }Elohim}God; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah your
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:7 }Elohim}God, am he who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
\VS{8}And I will bring you into the land concerning which I swore to give it unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; and I will give it you for a possession: I am Jehovah.
\VS{9}And Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel; but they did not listen to Moses from anguish of spirit, and from hard service.
\VS{10}And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
\VS{11}Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
\VS{12}And Moses spoke before Jehovah, saying, Lo, the children of Israel do not hearken to me: how then should Pharaoh hearken to me, to me of uncircumcised lips?
\VS{13}And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a commandment to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
\VS{14}These are the heads of their fathers' houses: the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Enoch and Phallu, Hezron and Carmi: these are the families of Reuben.
\VS{15}— And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Saul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon.
\VS{16}And these are the names of the sons of Levi, according to their generations: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. And the years of the life of Levi were a hundred and thirty-seven years.
\VS{17}The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, according to their families.
\VS{18}And the sons of Kohath: Amram, and Jizhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel. And the years of the life of Kohath were a hundred and thirty-three years.
\VS{19}And the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi: these are the families of Levi according to their generations.
\VS{20}And Amram took Jochebed his aunt as wife; and she bore him Aaron and Moses. And the years of the life of Amram were a hundred and thirty-seven years.
\VS{21}And the sons of Jizhar: Korah, and Nepheg, and Zicri.
\VS{22}And the sons of Uzziel: Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Sithri.
\VS{23}And Aaron took Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nahshon, as wife; and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
\VS{24}And the sons of Korah: Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korahites.
\VS{25}And Eleazar Aaron's son took [one] of the daughters of Putiel as wife; and she bore him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families.
\VS{26}This is that Aaron and Moses, to whom Jehovah said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their hosts.
\VS{27}These are they who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: this is that Moses and Aaron.
\VS{28}And it came to pass on the day when Jehovah spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,
\VS{29}that Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, I am Jehovah: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
\VS{30}And Moses said before Jehovah, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how will Pharaoh hearken unto me?

\par }\Chap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made thee
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 7:1 }Elohim}God to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
\VS{2}Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
\VS{3}And I will render Pharaoh's heart obdurate, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
\VS{4}And Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my hosts, my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
\VS{5}And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
\VS{6}And Moses and Aaron did as Jehovah had commanded them: so did they.
\VS{7}And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
\VS{8}And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
\VS{9}When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Do a miracle for yourselves, — then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy staff and cast [it] before Pharaoh — it will become a serpent.
\VS{10}And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh, and before his bondmen, and it became a serpent.
\VS{11}And Pharaoh also called the sages and the sorcerers; and they too, the scribes of Egypt, did so with their enchantments:
\VS{12}they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents; but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves.
\VS{13}And Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.
\VS{14}And Jehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened: he refuseth to let the people go.
\VS{15}Go unto Pharaoh in the morning — behold, he will go out unto the water — and take thy stand by the bank of the river in front of him; and take in thy hand the staff that was turned into a serpent.
\VS{16}And say unto him, Jehovah the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 7:16 }Elohim}God of the Hebrews has sent me to thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness; but behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened.
\VS{17}Thus saith Jehovah: In this shalt thou know that I am Jehovah — behold, I will smite with the staff that is in my hand upon the water which is in the river, and it shall be turned into blood.
\VS{18}And the fish that is in the river shall die; and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink the water out of the river.
\VS{19}And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and stretch out thy hand upon the waters of the Egyptians — upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood and in [vessels of] stone.
\VS{20}And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and he lifted up the staff, and smote the waters that were in the river before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his bondmen; and all the waters that were in the river were turned into blood.
\VS{21}And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river; and the blood was throughout the land of Egypt.
\VS{22}And the scribes of Egypt did so with their sorceries; and Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, neither did he hearken to them, as Jehovah had said.
\VS{23}And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and took not this to heart either.
\VS{24}And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
\VS{25}And seven days were fulfilled, after Jehovah had smitten the river.

\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Jehovah said to Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
\VS{2}And if thou refuse to let [them] go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs.
\VS{3}And the river shall swarm with frogs, and they shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bedroom, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs.
\VS{4}And the frogs shall come up both upon thee and upon thy people, and upon all thy bondmen.
\VS{5}And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy hand with thy staff over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.
\VS{6}And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
\VS{7}And the scribes did so with their sorceries, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
\VS{8}And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat Jehovah, that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Jehovah.
\VS{9}And Moses said to Pharaoh, Glory over me, for what time shall I intreat for thee, and for thy bondmen, and for thy people, to cut off the frogs from thee and from thy houses; [so that] they shall remain in the river only?
\VS{10}And he said, For to-morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word; that thou mayest know that there is none like Jehovah our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 8:10 }Elohim}God.
\VS{11}And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy bondmen, and from thy people: they shall remain in the river only.
\VS{12}And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried to Jehovah because of the frogs that he had brought against Pharaoh.
\VS{13}And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
\VS{14}And they gathered them in heaps; and the land stank.
\VS{15}And Pharaoh saw that there was respite; and he hardened his heart, and hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.
\VS{16}And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy staff, and smite the dust of the earth, and it shall become gnats throughout the land of Egypt.
\VS{17}And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and smote the dust of the earth, and there arose gnats on man and on beast: all the dust of the land became gnats throughout the land of Egypt.
\VS{18}And the scribes did so with their sorceries, to bring forth gnats; but they could not. And the gnats were on man and on beast.
\VS{19}Then the scribes said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 8:19 }Elohim}God! But Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.
\VS{20}And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh — behold, he will go out to the water — and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
\VS{21}For, if thou do not let my people go, behold, I will send dog-flies upon thee, and upon thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of dog-flies, and also the ground on which they are.
\VS{22}And I will distinguish in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no dog-flies shall be there; that thou mayest know that I Jehovah am in the midst of the land.
\VS{23}And I will put a separation between my people and thy people; to-morrow shall this sign be.
\VS{24}And Jehovah did so; and there came dog-flies in a multitude into the house of Pharaoh, and [into] the houses of his bondmen; and throughout the land of Egypt, the land was corrupted by the dog-flies.
\VS{25}And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Go, sacrifice to your
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 8:25 }Elohim}God in the land.
\VS{26}And Moses said, It is not proper to do so; for we should sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 8:26 }Elohim}God: lo, if we sacrificed the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, would they not stone us?
\VS{27}We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 8:27 }Elohim}God, as he shall command us.
\VS{28}And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Jehovah your
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 8:28 }Elohim}God in the wilderness; only, go not very far away: intreat for me!
\VS{29}And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and will intreat Jehovah; and the dog-flies will depart from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people, to-morrow; only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah.
\VS{30}And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Jehovah.
\VS{31}And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the dog-flies from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people; there remained not one.
\VS{32}And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and would not let the people go.

\VS{2}For if thou refuse to let them go, and shalt retain them still,
\VS{3}behold, the hand of Jehovah shall be on thy cattle which is in the field, on the horses, on the asses, on the camels, on the oxen and on the sheep, with a very grievous plague.
\VS{4}And Jehovah will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that the children of Israel have.
\VS{5}And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow will Jehovah do this thing in the land.
\VS{6}And Jehovah did this thing on the following day, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
\VS{7}And Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
\VS{8}And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to yourselves handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens before the eyes of Pharaoh.
\VS{9}And it shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become boils on man and on cattle, breaking out [with] blisters, throughout the land of Egypt.
\VS{10}And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it toward the heavens; and it became boils [with] blisters breaking out on man and on cattle.
\VS{11}And the scribes could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the scribes, and on all the Egyptians.
\VS{12}And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had told Moses.
\VS{13}And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and set thyself before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 9:13 }Elohim}God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
\VS{14}For I will at this time send all my plagues to thy heart, and on thy bondmen, and on thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.
\VS{15}For now shall I put forth my hand, and I will smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
\VS{16}And for this very cause have I raised thee up, to shew thee my power; and that my name may be declared in all the earth.
\VS{17}Dost thou still exalt thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
\VS{18}Behold, to-morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since its foundation until now.
\VS{19}And now send, [and] secure thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: all the men and the cattle that are found in the field, and are not brought home — on them the hail shall come down, and they shall die.
\VS{20}He that feared the word of Jehovah among the bondmen of Pharaoh made his bondmen and his cattle flee into the houses.
\VS{21}But he that did not regard the word of Jehovah left his bondmen and his cattle in the field.
\VS{22}And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be hail throughout the land of Egypt, upon men, and upon cattle, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.
\VS{23}And Moses stretched out his staff toward the heavens, and Jehovah gave thunder and hail; and the fire ran along the ground; and Jehovah rained hail on the land of Egypt.
\VS{24}And there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
\VS{25}And the hail smote throughout the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both men and cattle; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
\VS{26}Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
\VS{27}And Pharaoh sent, and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: Jehovah is the righteous [one], but I and my people are the wicked [ones].
\VS{28}Intreat Jehovah that it may be enough, that there be no more thunder of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 9:28 }Elohim}God and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer!
\VS{29}And Moses said to him, When I go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Jehovah: the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is Jehovah's.
\VS{30}But as to thee and thy bondmen, I know that ye do not yet fear Jehovah Elohim.
\VS{31}And the flax and the barley were smitten; for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
\VS{32}But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten; for they were not come out into ear.
\VS{33}And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Jehovah; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not [any more] poured on the earth.
\VS{34}And Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, and he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he, and his bondmen.
\VS{35}And the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, neither would he let the children of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses.

\VS{3}And Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah the

\VS{4}For, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, I will to-morrow bring locusts into thy borders;
\VS{5}and they shall cover the face of the land, so that ye will not be able to see the land; and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which ye have remaining from the hail, and shall eat every tree which ye have growing in the field;
\VS{6}and they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy bondmen, 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 and went out from Pharaoh.
\VS{7}And Pharaoh's bondmen said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? let the men go, that they may serve Jehovah their

\VS{8}And Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh. And he said to them, Go, serve Jehovah your

\VS{9}And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters; with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we have a feast of Jehovah.
\VS{10}And he said to them, Let Jehovah be so with you, as I let you go, and your little ones: see that evil is before you!
\VS{11}Not so: go now, ye [that are] men, and serve Jehovah! for it is that ye have desired. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
\VS{12}And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up over the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land — all that the hail hath left.
\VS{13}And Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
\VS{14}And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt, very grievous; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them will be such.
\VS{15}And they covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left; and there remained not any green thing on the trees, and in the herbs of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
\VS{16}And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against Jehovah your
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 10:16 }Elohim}God, and against you.
\VS{17}And now, forgive, I pray you, my sin only this time, and intreat Jehovah your
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 10:17 }Elohim}God that he may take away from me this death only!
\VS{18}And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Jehovah.
\VS{19}And Jehovah turned a very powerful west wind, which took away the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea: there remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.
\VS{20}And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
\VS{21}And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be darkness in the land of Egypt — so that one may feel darkness.
\VS{22}And Moses stretched out his hand toward the heavens; and there was a thick darkness throughout the land of Egypt three days:
\VS{23}they saw not one another, neither rose any from his place, for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
\VS{24}And Pharaoh called Moses and said, Go, serve Jehovah; only, let your flocks and your herds remain; let your little ones also go with you.
\VS{25}And Moses said, Thou must give also sacrifices and burnt-offerings into our hands, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our

\VS{4}And Moses said, Thus saith Jehovah: About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt.
\VS{5}And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sitteth on his throne, even unto the firstborn of the bondwoman that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of cattle.

\VS{4}And if the household be too small for a lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take [it] according to the number of the souls; each according to [the measure] of his eating shall ye count for the lamb.
\VS{5}Your lamb shall be without blemish, a yearling male; ye shall take [it] from the sheep, or from the goats.
\VS{6}And ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel shall kill it between the two evenings.
\VS{7}And they shall take of the blood, and put [it] on the two door-posts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
\VS{8}And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter [herbs] shall they eat it.
\VS{9}Ye shall eat none of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with its in-wards.
\VS{10}And ye shall let none of it remain until the morning; and what remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
\VS{11}And thus shall ye eat it: your loins shall be girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover.

\VS{14}And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall celebrate it [as] a feast to Jehovah; throughout your generations [as] an ordinance for ever shall ye celebrate it.
\VS{15}Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread: on the very first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses; for whoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day — that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
\VS{16}And on the first day ye shall have a holy convocation, and on the seventh day a holy convocation: no manner of work shall be done on them, save what is eaten by every person — that only shall be done by you.

\VS{8}And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel had gone out with a high hand.
\VS{9}And the Egyptians pursued after them, — all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them where they had encamped by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, opposite to Baal-Zephon.
\VS{10}And Pharaoh approached; and the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and the children of Israel were much afraid, and cried out to Jehovah.
\VS{11}And they said to Moses, Is it because there were no graves in Egypt, thou hast taken us away to die in the wilderness? why hast thou done this to us, that thou hast led us out of Egypt?
\VS{12}Is not this what we told thee in Egypt, when we said, Let us alone, and we will serve the Egyptians? For [it had been] better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.
\VS{13}And Moses said to the people, Fear not: stand still, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which he will work for you to-day; for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
\VS{14}Jehovah will fight for you, and ye shall be still.
\VS{15}And Jehovah said to Moses, Why dost thou cry unto me? Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.
\VS{16}And thou, lift thy staff, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea.
\VS{17}And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall pursue after them; and I will glorify myself in Pharaoh and in all his host, in his chariots and in his horsemen.
\VS{18}And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have glorified myself in Pharaoh, in his chariots and in his horsemen.
\VS{19}And the Angel of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 14:19 }Elohim}God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before them, and stood behind them.
\VS{20}And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and was a cloud and darkness, and lit up the night; and the one did not come near the other all the night.
\VS{21}And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Jehovah made the sea go [back] by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry [land], and the waters were divided.
\VS{22}And the children of Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry [ground]; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
\VS{23}And the Egyptians pursued and came after them — all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.
\VS{24}And it came to pass in the morning watch, that Jehovah looked upon the camp of the Egyptians, in the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and embarrassed the camp of the Egyptians.
\VS{25}And he took off their chariot wheels, and caused them to drive with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee before Israel, for Jehovah is fighting for them against the Egyptians!
\VS{26}And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and upon their horsemen.
\VS{27}And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength toward the morning; and the Egyptians fled against it; and Jehovah overturned the Egyptians into the midst of the sea.
\VS{28}And the waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen of all the host of Pharaoh that had come into the sea after them; there remained not even one of them.
\VS{29}And the children of Israel walked on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
\VS{30}Thus Jehovah saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea-shore.
\VS{31}And Israel saw the great power [with] which Jehovah had wrought against the Egyptians; and the people feared Jehovah, and believed in Jehovah, and in Moses his bondman.

\VS{5}The depths covered them; they sank to the bottom as a stone.
\VS{6}Thy right hand, Jehovah, is become glorious in power: Thy right hand, Jehovah, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
\VS{7}And by the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown thine adversaries: Thou sentest forth thy burning wrath, it consumed them as stubble.
\VS{8}And by the breath of thy nostrils the waters were heaped up; The streams stood as a mound; The depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
\VS{9}The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my soul shall be sated upon them; I will unsheath my sword, my hand shall dispossess them.

\VS{14}The peoples heard it, they were afraid: A thrill seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
\VS{15}Then the princes of Edom were amazed; The mighty men of Moab, trembling hath seized them; All the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.
\VS{16}Fear and dread fall upon them; By the greatness of thine arm they are still as a stone; Till thy people pass over, Jehovah, Till the people pass over that thou hast purchased.
\VS{17}Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, The place that thou, Jehovah, hast made thy dwelling, The Sanctuary, Lord, that thy hands have prepared.

\VS{22}And 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.
\VS{23}And they came to Marah, and could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore the name of it was called Marah.
\VS{24}And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

\VS{2}And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.
\VS{3}And the children of Israel said to them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole congregation with hunger!
\VS{4}Then said Jehovah to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather the daily need on its day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.
\VS{5}And it shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare what they have brought in; and it shall be twice as much as they shall gather daily.
\VS{6}And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, In the evening, then shall ye know that Jehovah has brought you out from the land of Egypt;
\VS{7}and in the morning, then shall ye see the glory of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings against Jehovah; — and what are we, that ye murmur against us?

\VS{9}And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to all the assembly of the children of Israel, Come near into the presence of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings.
\VS{10}And it came to pass, when Aaron spoke to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, that they turned toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud.
\VS{11}And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
\VS{12}I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, Between the two evenings ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 16:12 }Elohim}God.
\VS{13}And it came to pass in the evening, that quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay round the camp.
\VS{14}And when the dew that lay [round it] was gone up, behold, on the face of the wilderness there was [something] fine, granular, fine as hoar-frost, on the ground.
\VS{15}And the children of Israel saw [it], and said one to another, What is it? for they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat.
\VS{16}This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Gather of it every man according to what he can eat, an omer a poll, [according to] the number of your persons: ye shall take every man for those that are in his tent.
\VS{17}And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some much, some little.
\VS{18}And they measured with the omer: then he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little wanted nothing: they had gathered every man according to the measure of his eating.
\VS{19}And Moses said to them, Let no man leave [any] of it until the morning.
\VS{20}But they did not hearken to Moses; and some men left of it until the morning; then worms bred in it and it stank. And Moses was wroth with them.
\VS{21}And they gathered it every morning, every man as much as he could eat; and when the sun became hot, it melted.
\VS{22}And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one; and all the princes of the assembly came and told Moses.
\VS{23}And he said to them, This is what Jehovah has said: To-morrow is the rest, the holy sabbath, of Jehovah: bake what ye will bake, and cook what ye will cook; and lay up for yourselves all that remains over, to be kept for the morning.
\VS{24}And they laid it up for the morning, as Moses had commanded; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.
\VS{25}And Moses said, Eat it to-day; for to-day is sabbath to Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.
\VS{26}Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day is sabbath: on it there shall be none.
\VS{27}And it came to pass on the seventh day that there went out [some] from the people to gather [it], and they found none.
\VS{28}And Jehovah said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
\VS{29}See, for Jehovah hath given you the sabbath; therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread for two days. Abide every man in his place: let no man go from his place on the seventh day.
\VS{30}And the people rested on the seventh day.
\VS{31}And the house of Israel called its name Manna; and it was like coriander-seed, white; and the taste of it was like cake with honey.
\VS{32}And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.
\VS{33}And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put in it an omer full of manna, and deposit it before Jehovah, to be kept for your generations.
\VS{34}As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so Aaron deposited it before the Testimony, to be kept.
\VS{35}And the children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came into an inhabited land: they ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
\VS{36}Now an omer is the tenth [part] of an ephah.

\VS{3}And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Why is it that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
\VS{4}And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, What shall I do with this people? Yet a little, and they will stone me!
\VS{5}And Jehovah said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel, and thy staff with which thou didst smite the river, take in thy hand, and go.
\VS{6}Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock on Horeb; and thou shalt strike the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Israel.

\VS{6}And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments at mount Horeb.
\VS{7}And Moses took the tent, and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the Tent of meeting. And it came to pass [that] every one who sought Jehovah went out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp.
\VS{8}And it came to pass, when Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose up, and stood every man at the entrance of his tent, and they looked after Moses until he entered into the tent.
\VS{9}And it came to pass when Moses entered into the tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the entrance of the tent, and [Jehovah] talked with Moses.
\VS{10}And all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent; and all the people rose and worshipped, every man at the entrance of his tent.
\VS{11}And Jehovah spoke with Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. And he returned to the camp; but his attendant, Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from within the tent.
\VS{12}And Moses said to Jehovah, Behold, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people; but thou dost not let me know whom thou wilt send with me; and thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in mine eyes.
\VS{13}And now, if indeed I have found grace in thine eyes, make me now to know thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thine eyes; and consider that this nation is thy people!
\VS{14}And he said, My presence shall go, and I will give thee rest.
\VS{15}And he said to him, If thy presence do not go, bring us not up hence.
\VS{16}And how shall it be known then that I have found grace in thine eyes — I and thy people? [Is it] not by thy going with us? so shall we be distinguished, I and thy people, from every people that is on the face of the earth.
\VS{17}And Jehovah said to Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast said; for thou hast found grace in mine eyes, and I know thee by name.
\VS{18}And he said, Let me, I pray thee, see thy glory.
\VS{19}And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thy face, and I will proclaim the name of Jehovah before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
\VS{20}And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for Man shall not see me, and live.
\VS{21}And Jehovah said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: there shalt thou stand on the rock.
\VS{22}And it shall come to pass, when my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand, until I have passed by.
\VS{23}And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see me from behind; but my face shall not be seen.

\par }\Chap{34}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Jehovah said to Moses, Hew for thyself two tables of stone like the first; and I will write upon the tables the words that were upon the first tables, which thou hast broken.
\VS{2}And be ready for the morning, and go up in the morning to mount Sinai, and stand there before me on the top of the mountain.
\VS{3}And let no man go up with thee, neither shall any man be seen on all the mountain; neither shall sheep and oxen feed in front of that mountain.
\VS{4}And he hewed two tables of stone like the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning and went up to mount Sinai, as Jehovah had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
\VS{5}And Jehovah came down in the cloud, and stood beside him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah.
\VS{6}And Jehovah passed by before his face, and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah
\FTNT{*}{{\FR 34:6 }El}God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth,
\VS{7}keeping mercy unto thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but by no means clearing [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, upon the third and upon the fourth [generation].
\VS{8}And Moses made haste, and bowed his head to the earth and worshipped,
\VS{9}and said, If indeed I have found grace in thine eyes, Lord, let the Lord, I pray thee, go in our midst; for it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for an inheritance!
\VS{10}And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels that have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people in the midst of which thou [art] shall see the work of Jehovah; for a terrible thing it shall be that I will do with thee.

\VS{12}Take heed to thyself, that thou make no covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which thou shalt come, lest it be a snare in the midst of thee;

\VS{27}And Jehovah said to Moses, Write thee these words; for after the tenor of these words have I made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
\VS{28}— And he was there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights; he ate no bread, and drank no water. — And he wrote on the tables the words of the covenant, the ten words.
\VS{29}And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai — and the two tables of testimony were in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mountain — that Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone through his talking with him.
\VS{30}And Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.
\VS{31}And Moses called to them; and they turned to him, — Aaron and all the principal men of the assembly; and Moses talked with them.
\VS{32}And afterwards, all the children of Israel came near; and he gave them in commandment all that Jehovah had spoken with him on mount Sinai.
\VS{33}And Moses ended speaking with them; and he had put on his face a veil.

\VS{16}And they made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
\VS{17}And they put the two wreathen [cords] of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate;
\VS{18}and the two ends of the two wreathen [cords] they fastened to the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, on the front thereof.
\VS{19}And they made two rings of gold, and put [them] on the two ends of the breastplate, on the border thereof, which faceth the ephod inwards.
\VS{20}And they made two rings of gold, and put them upon the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, to the front thereof, just by the coupling thereof, above the girdle of the ephod.
\VS{21}And they bound the breastplate with its rings to the rings of the ephod with lace of blue, that it might be above the girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
\VS{22}And he made the cloak of the ephod of woven work, all of blue;
\VS{23}and the opening of the cloak in its middle, as the opening of a coat of mail; a binding was round about the opening, that it should not rend.
\VS{24}And they made on the skirts of the cloak pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet, twined.
\VS{25}And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates, in the skirts of the cloak, round about, between the pomegranates:
\VS{26}a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, in the skirts of the cloak round about, for service; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
\VS{27}And they made the vests of byssus of woven work, for Aaron, and for his sons;
\VS{28}and the turban of byssus; and the ornamental caps, of byssus; and the linen trousers, of twined byssus;
\VS{29}and the girdle, of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of embroidery; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
\VS{30}And they made the thin plate, the holy diadem, of pure gold, and wrote on it with the writing of the engravings of a seal, Holiness to Jehovah!
\VS{31}And they fastened to it a lace of blue, to fasten [it] on the turban above; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
\VS{32}And all the labour of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was ended; and the children of Israel had done [it] according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses — so had they done [it].
\VS{33}And they brought the tabernacle to Moses — the tent, and all its utensils, its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its bases;
\VS{34}and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the veil of separation;
\VS{35}the ark of the testimony, and its staves, and the mercy-seat;
\VS{36}the table, all its utensils, and the shewbread;
\VS{37}the pure candlestick, its lamps, the lamps set in order, and all its utensils, and the oil for the light;
\VS{38}and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs; and the curtain for the entrance of the tent;
\VS{39}the copper altar, and the copper grating that was for it, its staves and all its utensils; the laver and its stand;
\VS{40}the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases; and the curtain for the gate of the court, its cords, and its pegs; and all the vessel's of service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;
\VS{41}the garments of service, for service in the sanctuary; the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to serve as priests.
\VS{42}According to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so had the children of Israel done all the labour.
\VS{43}And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it as Jehovah had commanded — so had they done [it]; and Moses blessed them.

\par }\Chap{40}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
\VS{2}On the day of the first month, on the first of the month, shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
\VS{3}And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the ark with the veil.
\VS{4}And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it. And thou shalt bring in the candlestick and light its lamps.
\VS{5}And thou shalt set the golden altar for the incense before the ark of the testimony; and hang up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
\VS{6}And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
\VS{7}And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water in it.
\VS{8}And thou shalt fix the court round about, and hang up the curtain at the gate of the court.
\VS{9}And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shalt hallow it, and all its utensils; and it shall be holy.
\VS{10}And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its utensils; and thou shalt hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.
\VS{11}And thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, and hallow it.
\VS{12}And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons near, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and bathe them with water.
\VS{13}And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, and anoint him, and hallow him, that he may serve me as priest.
\VS{14}And thou shalt bring his sons near, and clothe them with vests.
\VS{15}And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall be to them an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
\VS{16}And Moses did so: as Jehovah had commanded him, so did he.
\VS{17}And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first of the month, that the tabernacle was set up.
\VS{18}And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put in its bases, and fixed its boards, and put in its bars, and set up its pillars.
\VS{19}And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above over it; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
\VS{20}And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and put the staves in the ark, and put the mercy-seat above on the ark.
\VS{21}And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and hung up the veil of separation, and covered the ark of the testimony; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
\VS{22}And he put the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil,
\VS{23}and arranged the bread in order upon it before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
\VS{24}And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, opposite to the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
\VS{25}And he lighted the lamps before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
\VS{26}And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil.
\VS{27}And he burnt on it fragrant incense; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
\VS{28}And he hung up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
\VS{29}And he put the altar of burnt-offering at the entrance to the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt-offering and the oblation; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
\VS{30}And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing.
\VS{31}And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet out of it:
\VS{32}when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they drew near to the altar, they washed; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
\VS{33}And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the curtain of the gate of the court. And so Moses finished the work.
\VS{34}And the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
\VS{35}And Moses could not enter into the tent of meeting, for the cloud abode on it, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
\VS{36}And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel journeyed in all their journeys.
\VS{37}And if the cloud were not taken up, then they did not journey until the day that it was taken up.
\VS{38}For the cloud of Jehovah was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
