[Exodus 1]
1:1 Now, these, are the names of the Sons of Israel, who came into Egypt, with Jacob, did each man and his household come in: --
1:2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
1:3 Issachar, Zebulon, and Benjamin;
1:4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
1:5 And it came to pass that all the persons who were descended from Jacob were seventy souls, -- but, Joseph, was already in Egypt.
1:6 So then Joseph died and all his brethren, and all that generation.
1:7 But the sons of Israel, were fruitful and swarmed and multiplied and waxed mighty, with exceeding vigour, -- so that the land was filled with them.
1:8 Then arose a new king over Egypt, -- who had not known Joseph.
1:9 So he said, unto his people, Lo! the people of the sons of Israel are too many and mighty for us!
1:10 Come on! let us shew ourselves wise with regard to them, lest they so multiply that it shall come to pass when war befalleth us, that they also, shall join themselves unto them who hate us, and shall make war upon us. and then go up out of the land.
1:11 So they set over them chiefs of tribute, to the end they might humiliate them with their burdens, -- and they built store-cities for Pharaoh, even Pithom and Raamses.
1:12 But the more they were humiliating them, the more, were they multiplying, and, the more, were they breaking forth, so they were filled with alarm because of the sons of Israel.
1:13 And the Egyptians rigorously made the sons of Israel serve;
1:14 and embittered their lives with harsh service, in clay and in bricks, and in all manner of service in the field, -- all their service, wherein they rigorously made them serve.
1:15 Then said the king of Egypt to the Hebrew midwives, -- of whom, the name of the one was, Shiphrah, and, the name of the other Puah; --
1:16 then he said -- When ye act as midwives unto the Hebrew women, then shall ye look out for the sex, -- If it is, a son, then shall ye kill it, But, if it is, a daughter, then shall it live.
1:17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt spake unto them, -- but suffered the male children to live.
1:18 Then called the king of Egypt for the midwives, and said to them -- Wherefore have ye done this thing, that ye should let the male children live?
1:19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh. Because not like the Egyptian women, are the Hebrew women, for they are full of life, ere yes the midwife can come in unto them, they have given birth,
1:20 So then God dealt well with the midwives, -- and the people multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty.
1:21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made for them households.
1:22 Then gave Pharaoh command to all his people saying -- Every son that is born to the Hebrews, into the river, shall ye cast him; But every daughter, shall ye suffer to live.


[Exodus 2]
2:1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, -- and took a laughter of Levi.
2:2 And the woman conceived and bare a son, -- and she saw him, that he was a goodly child, so she hid him three months.
2:3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of paper-reed, and covered it over with bitumen, and with pitch, -- and put therein the child, and laid it among the rushes upon the bank of the river.
2:4 Then did his sister station herself at a distance, -- to see what would be done to him.
2:5 So then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe by the river, and her, maidens, were walking by the side of the river, -- when she saw the ark in the midst of the rushes, and sent her handmaid, and fetched it.
2:6 And she opened and beheld it -- even the child, and lo! a boy weeping, -- so she took pity on him, and said, Of the children of the Hebrews, is this.
2:7 Then said his sister unto Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call thee a nurse, of the Hebrew women, -- that she may nurse for thee the child?
2:8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her -- Go. So the maid went, and called the mother of the child.
2:9 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her -- Take this child, and nurse it for me, and, I, will give thee thy wages. So the woman took the child, and nursed it.
2:10 And the child grew, and she brought him in to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said -- For out of the water, I drew him.
2:11 And it came to pass in those days when Moses grew up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens, -- and saw, an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew -- of his brethren,
2:12 So he turned this way and that, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
2:13 And he went out on the second day, and lo! two Hebrews, striving together, -- so he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore shouldest thou smite thy fellow?
2:14 And he said -- Who hath set thee for a chief and a judge over us? To slay me, art thou thinking, as thou didst slay the Egyptian? Then was Moses afraid, and said -- Surely the thing is, known!
2:15 So Pharaoh heard this thing, and sought to slay Moses, -- and Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian and sat down by the well.
2:16 Now, the priest of Midian, had seven daughters, -- and they came and drew and filled the troughs, to water their fathers flock.
2:17 Then came the shepherds, and drave them away, -- so Moses rose up, and succoured them, and watered their flock,
2:18 Then came they in unto Reuel their father, -- and he said, Wherefore have ye so early come in to-day?
2:19 And they said, An Egyptian, delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, -- Moreover also he drew, for us, and watered the flock.
2:20 And he said unto his daughters -- And where is he? wherefore is it that ye left the man? Call him that he may eat bread.
2:21 And Moses was well-pleased to dwell with the man, -- and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.
2:22 And she bare a son, and he called his name Gershom, -- for he said, A, sojourner, I am, in a strange land.
2:23 And it came to pass, during those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the sons of Israel sighed by reason of the servitude and lamented, -- and their cry for help went up to God, by reason of the servitude.
2:24 And God heard their groaning, -- and God remembered his covenant, with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob;
2:25 so then, God looked upon the sons of Israel, -- and God regarded.


[Exodus 3]
3:1 Now, Moses, was shepherding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law priest of Midian, -- so he led forth the flock behind the desert, and came in unto the mountain of God to Horeb.
3:2 Then appeared the messenger of Yahweh unto him, in a flame of fire from the midst of the thorn-bush, -- so he looked and lo! the thorn-bush burning with fire and yet the thorn-bush, was not consumed.
3:3 And, Moses said, Let me turn aside, pray, and see this great sight, -- why the thorn-bush, doth not burn up.
3:4 And Yahweh saw, that he turned aside to see, -- so God called unto him out of the midst of the thorn-bush, and said -- Moses! Moses! And he said -- Behold me!
3:5 And he said -- Do not draw nigh hither, -- put off thy sandals from thy feet, for, the place whereon thou art standing is holy ground.
3:6 And he said -- I, am the God of thy father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.
3:7 Then said Yahweh, I have, seen, the humiliation of my people, who are in Egypt, -- and their outcry, have I heard, by reason of their task-masters, for I know their pains;
3:8 therefore have I come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians, and to take them up out of that land, into a land good and large, into a land flowing with milk and honey, -- into the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Amorite and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
3:9 Now, therefore, lo! the outcry of the sons of Israel, hath come in unto me, -- moreover also, I have seen the oppression, wherewith the Egyptians are oppressing them.
3:10 Now, therefore, come thou! that I may send thee unto Pharaoh, -- and bring thou forth my people -- the sons of Israel -- out of Egypt.
3:11 And Moses said unto God, Who am, I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, -- and that I should bring forth the sons of Israel out of Egypt?
3:12 And he said -- I will be with thee, and, this, to thee, [shall be] the sign, that, I have sent thee, -- When thou bringest forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall do service unto God, upon this mountain.
3:13 And Moses said unto God -- Lo! as surely as, I, go in unto the sons of Israel, and say unto them, The God of your fathers, hath sent me unto you, So surely will they say unto me -- What is his name? What shall I say unto them?
3:14 And God said unto Moses, I Will Become whatsoever I please, And he said -- Thus, shalt thou say to the sons of Israel, I Will Become hath sent me unto you.
3:15 And God said yet further unto Moses -- Thus shalt thou say unto the sons of Israel, Yahweh God of your fathers. God of Abraham God of Isaac and God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you. This, is my name to times age-abiding, And, this, my memorial to generation after generation.
3:16 Go -- and thou shalt gather together the eiders of Israel and shalt say unto them-Yahweh. God of your fathers, hath appeared unto me, the God of Abraham Isaac, and Jacob saying, -- I am, concerned, for you, and for what is done to you in Egypt;
3:17 therefore do I say -- I will bring you up out of the humiliation of Egypt, into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Amorite and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, -- into a land flowing with milk and honey.
3:18 So will they hearken to thy voice, -- and thou shalt go in -- thou, and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt and ye shall say unto him -- Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, hath fallen in with us, Now, therefore let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the desert, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.
3:19 But, I, know, that the king of Egypt will not suffer you to go, -- not even by a firm hand.
3:20 So then I will put forth my hand and smite Egypt, with all my wonders, which I will d in the midst thereof, -- and, after that, he will send you forth.
3:21 Thus will I give favour to this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, -- so shall it come to pass that when ye do go, ye shall not go empty;
3:22 but every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold and mantles, -- and ye shall put them upon your sons and upon your daughters, so shall ye spoil the Egyptians.


[Exodus 4]
4:1 Then responded Moses, and said, And lo! they will not believe me, neither hearken to my voice, -- for they will say, Yahweh, hath not appeared unto thee.
4:2 And Yahweh said unto him -- What is this in thy hand? And he said -- A staff.
4:3 Then said he -- Cast it to the earth. And he cast it to the earth, and it became a serpent, -- and Moses fled from the face thereof.
4:4 And Yahweh said unto Moses, Put forth thy hand, and take it by its tail: So he put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a staff in his hand: --
4:5 that they may believe that Yahweh, God of their fathers, -- God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob hath appeared unto thee.
4:6 Then said Yahweh unto him, yet again -- Bring, I pray thee, thy hand, into thy bosom. So he brought his hand, into his bosom, -- and then took it out, and lo! his hand, was leprous, -- like snow,
4:7 And he said -- Put back thy hand into thy bosom: So he put back his hand into his bosom, -- and then took it out of his bosom, and lo it had come again like his own flesh:
4:8 thus shall it come to pass, if they will not believe thee, nor hearken to the voice of the first sign, then will they believe the voice of the next sign;
4:9 and it shall come to pass if they will not believe even these two signs nor hearken to thy voice, then shalt thou take of the water of the river, and pour it out on the dry land, -- so shall the water which thou hast taken from the river, become, yea it shall become, blood, on the dry land.
4:10 And Moses said unto Yahweh -- Pardon, O My Lord! not a man of words, am I, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant, -- for heavy of mouth and heavy of tongue, I am.
4:11 Then Yahweh said unto him -- Who appointed a mouth for man, or who appointeth him to be dumb, or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh,?
4:12 Now, therefore go, -- and, I, will be with thy mouth, so will I direct thee, what thou shalt speak.
4:13 And he said -- Pardon, O My Lord! send, I pray thee by the hand of him whom thou wilt send --
4:14 Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh against Moses, and he said -- Is there not Aaron, thy brother, the Levite? I know that he lean speak. Moreover also lo! he himself is coming forth to meet thee, as surely as he seeth thee, so surely will he rejoice in his heart.
4:15 Then shalt thou speak unto him, and shalt put the words in his mouth, -- and, I, will be with thy mouth and with his mouth, so will I direct you what ye shall do.
4:16 And, he, shall speak for thee unto the people, -- so shall it come to pass that he shall become thy mouth, and thou shalt become to him as God.
4:17 And this staff, take thou in thy hand, -- wherewith thou shalt do the signs.
4:18 So Moses went and returned unto Jethro his father-in-law and said to him -- Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren who are in Egypt, that I my see whether they are yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses: Go and prosper.
4:19 Then said Yahweh unto Moses in Midian, Go, return to Egypt, -- for all the men are dead who were seeking thy life.
4:20 So Moses took his wife and his sons, and caused them to ride upon the ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt, -- and Moses took the staff of God in his hand.
4:21 And Yahweh said unto Moses, When thou goest to return to Egypt, see as touching all the wonders which I have put in thy hand, that thou do them before Pharaoh -- but, I, will let his heart wax bold, and he will not suffer the people to go.
4:22 Then shalt thou say unto Pharaoh, Thus, saith Yahweh -- My son -- my firstborn, is Israel;
4:23 Therefore I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me, But if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I, am going to slay, thy son, thy firstborn.
4:24 And it came to pass, on the way, in the resting-place for the night, that Yahweh fell upon him, and sought to kill him.
4:25 So Zipporah took a sharp stone and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it down at his feet, -- and said -- Surely, a bridegroom by rites of blood, art thou to me!
4:26 So he let him go, Then, it was that she said, A bridegroom by rites of blood -- with regard to the rites of circumcision.
4:27 And Yahweh said unto Aaron, Go thy way to meet Moses, towards the desert. So he went his way, and fell in with him in the mountain of God and kissed him.
4:28 And Moses told Aaron, all the words of Yahweh wherewith he had sent him, -- and all the signs wherewith he had charged him.
4:29 So Moses and Aaron went their way, -- and gathered together all the elders of the sons of Israel.
4:30 And Aaron spake all the words which Yahweh had spoken unto Moses, -- and did the signs before the eyes of the people,
4:31 And the people believed, -- and when they heard that Yahweh had concerned himself for the sons of Israel, and that he had looked upon their humiliation, then bent they their heads and bowed themselves down.


[Exodus 5]
5:1 And afterwards, Moses and Aaron went in and said unto Pharaoh, -- Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a festival to me in the desert.
5:2 Then said Pharaoh, Who is Yahweh that I should hearken to his voice, to let Israel go? I know not Yahweh, and certainly. Israel, will I not let go!
5:3 And they said, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us, -- let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the desert and sacrifice to Yahweh our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with sword.
5:4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore O Moses and Aaron should ye loose the people from their works? Get you to your burdens.
5:5 And Pharaoh said, Lo! many -- now, are the people of the land, -- and are ye to make them rest from their burdens?
5:6 So then Pharaoh gave command on that day, unto the taskmasters over the people and unto their overseers -- saying:
5:7 Ye shall no more give straw unto the people, for making the bricks as heretofore: Let them, go, themselves, so shall they gather for themselves straw:
5:8 Nevertheless, the fixed number of bricks, which they have been making heretofore, shall ye lay upon them, ye shall not diminish therefrom, -- for idle, they are, on this account, it is that they are making an outcry, saying, We must go our way, we must sacrifice to our God.
5:9 The service must be made heavy on the men that they may labour on it, -- and let them not pay regard to words of falsehood.
5:10 Then went forth the taskmasters of the people and their overseers, and spake unto the people, -- saying, -- Thus, saith Pharaoh, I am not going to give you straw,
5:11 Ye yourselves go fetch you straw, of any ye can find, -- yet hath there not been diminished from your service a single thing.
5:12 So the people dispersed themselves throughout all the land of Egypt, -- to gather stubble for straw:
5:13 the taskmasters, meanwhile, being urgent saying, -- Complete your works, The task of a day, in its day, as when the straw was provided.
5:14 Then were beaten the overseers of the sons of Israel, whom the taskmasters of Pharaoh had set over them saying: Wherefore have ye not completed your task for making bricks, as heretofore, so also, yesterday and, to-day?
5:15 Then came in the overseers of the sons of Israel, and made outcry unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore shouldst thou do thus to thy servants?
5:16 No straw, is given to thy servants, yet bricks, -- they keep saying to us -- make ye! And lo, thy servants, are beaten -- thou dost, therefore, wrong thy people.
5:17 But he said: Idle, ye are -- idle, on this account, are, ye, saying, We must take our journey, we must sacrifice to Yahweh.
5:18 Now, therefore, go labour, but, straw, shall not be given you, -- yet the tale of bricks, shall ye render.
5:19 Then did the overseers of the sons of Israel see themselves to be in an evil case, when it was said, -- Ye shall not diminish from your bricks -- the task of a day, in its day
5:20 So they fell upon Moses and upon Aaron, stationing themselves to meet them, -- as they came forth from Pharaoh;
5:21 and they said unto them, Yahweh look upon you and judge, -- in that ye have made us odious in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants, putting a sword into their hand to slay us.
5:22 And Moses returned unto Yahweh and said, -- O My Lord wherefore hast thou caused harm to this people? Wherefore now didst thou send me?
5:23 seeing that from what time I came in unto Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done harm to this people, and thou hast not delivered, thy people,


[Exodus 6]
6:1 Then said Yahweh 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 from his land.
6:2 And Gods spake unto Moses, -- and said unto him, I, am Yahweh:
6:3 I appeared, therefore, unto Abraham unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as GOD Almighty, -- although, by my name Yahweh was I not made known to them;
6:4 Moreover also I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, -- even the land of their sojournings wherein they sojourned.
6:5 Moreover also, I heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians, were holding in servitude, So then I remembered my covenant.
6:6 Therefore say thou to the sons of Israel-I, am Yahweh, Therefore will I bring you forth from under the burdens of Egypt, And will deliver you out of their service, And will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and with great judgments;
6:7 And will take you to myself for a people, And will become your God, -- And ye shall know that, I Yahweh, am your God, who brought you forth from under the burdens of Egypt:
6:8 And I will bring you into the land as to which I uplifted my hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, -- and will give it to you as an inheritance: I, am Yahweh.
6:9 And Moses spake thus unto the sons of Israel, but they hearkened not unto Moses, through shortness of spirit, and through hard service.
6:10 And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:
6:11 Go in speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land.
6:12 And Moses spake before Yahweh, saying, -- Lo! the sons of Israel have not hearkened unto me, how then shall Pharaoh, hear, I, also being of uncircumcised lips.
6:13 Thus then did Yahweh speak unto Moses and unto Aaron, yea he gave them a charge unto the sons of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, for the bringing forth of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
6:14 These, are the heads of their ancestral house: The sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel, Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. These are the families of, Reuben.
6:15 And, the sons of Simeon, Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitess. These, are the families of, Simeon.
6:16 And, these, are the names of the sons of Levi by their generations, Gershon, and Kohath and Merari, And, the years of the life of Levi, were a hundred and thirty-seven years.
6:17 The sons of Gershon, Libni and Shimei by their families.
6:18 And the sons of Kohath, Amram and Izhar, and Hebron and Uzziel. And the years of the life of Kohath, were a hundred and thirty-three years.
6:19 And the sons of Merari, Mahli and Mushi. These, are the families of the Levites by their generations.
6:20 So then, Amram took Jochebed, his father's sister to himself to wife, and she bare to him -- Aaron and Moses. And, the years of the life of Amram, were a hundred and thirty-seven.
6:21 And the sons of Izhar, Korah and Nepheg, and Zichri.
6:22 And the sons of Uzziel, Mishael and Elzaphan, and Sithri.
6:23 And Aaron took Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nahshon, to himself to wife, -- and she bare to him -- Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
6:24 And the sons of Korah, Assir and Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These are the families of the Korahites.
6:25 And Eleazar, son of Aaron took to himself [one] of the daughters of Putiel, to himself to wife, and she bare to him Phinehas. These, are the heads of the fathers of the Levites by their families.
6:26 The same, Aaron and Moses, -- to whom said Yahweh, Bring ye forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, according to their hosts:
6:27 They who were to speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring forth the sons of Israel out of Egypt: The same, Moses and Aaron.
6:28 Thus came it to pass, that on a certain day, Yahweh spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt.
6:29 So then Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying -- I, am Yahweh: Speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, all that, I, am speaking unto thee.
6:30 And Moses said before Yahweh, -- Lo! I, am of uncircumcised lips, how then will Pharaoh hearken unto me?


[Exodus 7]
7:1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses -- See! I have appointed thee to be God unto Pharaoh, -- and, Aaron thy brother, shall be thy prophet!
7:2 Thou, shalt speak all that which I may command thee, and, Aaron thy brother, shall speak unto Pharaoh, and he shall let the sons of Israel go out of his land.
7:3 But, I, will suffer Pharaoh to harden his heart, -- so will I multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
7:4 And Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, so will I lay my hand on Egypt, -- and bring forth my hosts -- my people the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, with great judgments.
7:5 And the Egyptians shall know that I, am Yahweh, when I have stretched forth my hand over Egypt, -- and brought forth the sons of Israel out of their midst.
7:6 And Moses and Aaron did [so], -- as Yahweh commanded them, so, did they.
7:7 Now Moses, was eighty years old, and, Aaron, eighty-three years old, -- when they spake unto Pharaoh.
7:8 And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying:
7:9 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you saying, Shew for yourselves a wonder, then shalt thou say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and cast it down before Pharaoh let it become a sea-serpent.
7:10 So Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and did so as Yahweh had commanded, -- and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and before his servants and it became a sea-serpent,
7:11 Then called Pharaoh also for the wise men and for the magicians, -- and they too, the sacred scribes of Egypt with their secret arts, did in like manner;
7:12 yea they cast down each man his staff, and they became sea-serpents, -- but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves.
7:13 Then waxed bold the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them, -- as spake Yahweh.
7:14 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Dull, is the heart of Pharaoh, -- he hath refused to let the people go.
7:15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning -- lo! he is coming out to the waters, therefore shalt thou station thyself to meet him on the bank of the river, -- and the staff which was turned into a serpent, shalt thou take in thy hand.
7:16 Then shalt thou say unto him -- Yahweh God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee saying, -- Let my people go, that they may serve me in the desert, -- And lo! thou hast not hearkened hitherto.
7:17 Thus, saith Yahweh, Hereby, shalt thou know that, I, am Yahweh, -- Lo! I, am smiting with the staff that is in my hand upon the waters that are in the river and they shall be turned to blood;
7:18 and, the fish that is in the river shall die and the river shall be loathsome, -- and the Egyptians, shall disdain, to drink water out of the river.
7:19 And Yahweh said unto Moses, -- Say unto Aaron -- Take thy staff, and stretch forth thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams over their rivers, and over their pools and over all their collections of water -- that they may become blood, -- so shall there be blood in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.
7:20 And Moses and Aaron, did so, as Yahweh commanded, and he lifted high the staff, and smote the waters which were in the river, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants, -- and all the waters which were in the river were turned to blood;
7:21 and the fish that was in the river, died and the river became loathsome, so that the Egyptians could not drink water out of the river, -- thus came it to pass that blood was in all the land of Egypt.
7:22 And the sacred scribes of Egypt did in like manner with their secret arts, -- so the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold and he hearkened not unto them, as spake Yahweh.
7:23 Then Pharaoh, turned away, and entered into his house -- neither applied he his heart, even to this.
7:24 And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink, -- for they could not drink of the water of the river.
7:25 And seven days were fulfilled, -- after Yahweh had smitten the river.


[Exodus 8]
8:1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, -- then shalt thou say unto him -- Thus, saith Yahweh, -- Let my people go, that they may serve me.
8:2 But if thou art, refusing, to let them go, lo! I, am plaguing all thy boundaries with frogs;
8:3 so shall the river swarm with frogs, and they shall come up, and enter into thy house, and into thy bedchamber and upon thy couch, -- and into the house of thy servants and among thy people, and into thine ovens and into thy kneading-troughs:
8:4 both against thee, and against thy people, and against all thy servants, shall come up the frogs.
8:5 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto Aaron -- Stretch forth thy hand with thy staff, over the streams over the rivers and over the pools, -- and bring up the frogs, over the land of Egypt.
8:6 So Aaron stretched forth his hand, over the waters of Egypt, -- and the frog came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
8:7 And the sacred scribes did in like manner, with their secret arts, -- and brought up frogs over the land of Egypt.
8:8 Then called Pharaoh for Moses and for Aaron and said -- Make entreaty unto Yahweh, that he take away the frogs from me and from my people, -- and I must lot the people go that they may sacrifice to Yahweh.
8:9 And Moses said to Pharaoh -- Explain thyself unto me: For what time, shall I make entreaty for thee and for thy servants and for thy people, to cause the frogs to be cut off, from thee and from thy houses, -- only in the river, shall they remain?
8:10 And he said -- For to-morrow. And he said -- According to thy word! that thou mayest know that there is none like Yahweh, our God:
8:11 so the frogs shall depart -- from thee and from thy houses and from thy servants and from thy people, -- only in the river, shall they remain.
8:12 Then went forth Moses and Aaron from Pharaoh, -- and Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, over the matter of the frogs which he had appointed for Pharaoh.
8:13 And Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, -- and the frogs died, out of the houses and out of the yards, and out of the fields;
8:14 and they piled them up, heaps -- heaps, -- and the land became loathsome.
8:15 But when Pharaoh saw that there had come a respite, then made he his heart dull and hearkened not unto them, -- as spake Yahweh.
8:16 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto Aaron -- Stretch forth thy staff, and smite the dust of the land, -- so shall it become gnats in all the land of Egypt.
8:17 And they did so, and Aaron stretched forth his hand with his staff and smote the dust of the land, and there canto to be gnats, among men and among beasts, -- all the dust of the land, became gnats, in all the land of Egypt.
8:18 And the sacred scribes did in like manner with their secret arts, to bring forth the gnats, but they could not. So there came to be gnats, among men and among beasts.
8:19 Then said the sacred scribes unto Pharaoh, The finger of God, it is! But the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold and he hearkened not unto them, as spake Yahweh.
8:20 Then said Yahweh unto Moses -- Rise thou early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, lo! he is coming forth to the waters, -- then shalt thou say unto him -- Thus, saith Yahweh: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
8:21 But if thou art not letting my people go, behold me! sending forth -- against thee, and against thy servants, and against thy people, and against thy houses the gad-fly, -- and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of the gad-fly, moreover also the ground whereon, they are:
8:22 then will I make to differ on that day, the land of Goshen wherein my people do dwell, so that there shall not be there a gad-fly! in order that thou mayest know, that I, Yahweh, am in the midst of the land;
8:23 so will I put a separation betwixt my people and thy people. By to-morrow, shall come to pass this sign.
8:24 And Yahweh did so, and brought a grievous gad-fly unto the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants and in all the land of Egypt, and the land was laid waste by reason of the gad-fly.
8:25 Then did Pharaoh cry out -- unto Moses and to Aaron, -- and said-Go your way, sacrifice to your God, in the land.
8:26 And Moses said: Not meet, is it, to do thus, for, an abomination to the Egyptians, we should sacrifice to Yahweh our God. Lo! could we sacrifice that which is an abomination to the Egyptians before their eyes and they not stone us?
8:27 A journey of three days, must we go, in the desert, -- then will we sacrifice to Yahweh our God, as, Yahweh, hath said unto us.
8:28 Then said Pharaoh: I, will let you go -- so shall ye sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the desert, only ye shall not go a, very long, journey, -- make ye entreaty for me.
8:29 And Moses said: Lo! I, am going out from thee and will make entreaty unto Yahweh, so will he take away the gad-fly -- from Pharaoh from his servants, and from his people tomorrow, -- only let not Pharaoh again deceive, in not letting the people go, to sacrifice to Yahweh.
8:30 So Moses went out from Pharaoh, -- and made entreaty unto Yahweh.
8:31 And Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and took away the gad-fly, from Pharaoh from his servants and from his people, -- there remained not, one.
8:32 And Pharaoh made his heart dull, this time also, -- and did not let the people go.


[Exodus 9]
9:1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, -- then shalt thou say unto him -- Thus, saith Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
9:2 But, if, refusing, thou art to let them go, -- and still art holding them fast,
9:3 lo! the hand of Yahweh, is coming on thy cattle which are in the field, on the horses, on the asses on the camels, on the herds and on the flocks, -- a very grievous pestilence;
9:4 and Yahweh will make a difference between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of the Egyptians, -- so that there shall not die from among all that pertaineth to the sons of Israel, a thing!
9:5 And Yahweh appointed a set time -- saying, To-morrow, will Yahweh do this thing, in the land.
9:6 So Yahweh did this thing, on the morrow, and all the cattle of the Egyptians died, -- but of the cattle of the sons of Israel, died not one.
9:7 And Pharaoh sent, and lo! there had not died of the cattle of Israel, so much as one. But Pharaoh's heart became dull, and he did not let the people go.
9:8 Then said Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take you your hands full of the ashes of an oven, -- and Moses shall scatter them towards the heavens, before the eyes of Pharaoh:
9:9 then shall they become fine dust, over all the land of Egypt, -- and shall become on man and on beast, a burning sore, breaking out in pustules in all the land of Egypt.
9:10 So they took the ashes of an oven and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses scattered them towards the heavens, -- and it came to pass that there was a burning sore in pustules breaking out, among men, and among beasts;
9:11 and the sacred scribes could not stand before Moses, because of the burning sore, -- for the burning sore had come on the sacred scribes, and on all the Egyptians.
9:12 But Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, and he hearkened not unto them, -- as spake Yahweh unto Moses.
9:13 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Rise thou early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, -- then shalt thou say unto him -- Thus, saith Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, Let my people go that they may serve me;
9:14 for this time, am I, sending all my plagues unto thy heart, and amongst thy servants and amongst thy people, -- to the intent thou mayest get to know, that there is none like me in all the earth.
9:15 For now, might I have put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, -- and thou shoulder have secretly disappeared from the earth;
9:16 but, in very deed for this purpose, have I let thee remain, for the purpose of showing thee my might, -- and that my name may be celebrated in all the earth.
9:17 Even yet, art thou exalting thyself over my people -- in not letting them go?
9:18 Behold me! raining down, about this time to-morrow, an exceeding heavy hail, -- such as hath not been in Egypt, from the day it was founded, even unto the present time.
9:19 Now, therefore, send -- bring into safety thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field, -- as touching all men and beasts which shall be found in the field and shall not be withdrawn into shelter, the hail shall come down upon them and they shall die.
9:20 He that feared the word of Yahweh, among the servants of Pharaoh, made his servants and his cattle flee, under shelter:
9:21 but, whoso applied not his heart unto the word of Yahweh, left his servants and his cattle in the field.
9:22 Then said Yahweh unto Moses -- Stretch forth thy hand over the heavens, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, -- on man and on beast, and on every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.
9:23 So Moses stretched forth his staff over the heavens, and, Yahweh, gave forth thunderings and hail, and there came fire towards the earth, -- and Yahweh rained down hail, on the land of Egypt.
9:24 So there came to be hail, and fire catching hold of itself, in the midst of the hall, -- exceeding heavy, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt, from the very time it became a nation.
9:25 And the hail smote in all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast, -- and every herb of the field, did the hail smite, and every tree of the field, did it shiver.
9:26 Only in the land of Goshen, where were the sons of Israel, was there no hail.
9:27 Then sent Pharaoh, and called for Moses and for Aaron, and said unto them -- I have sinned this time, -- Yahweh, is the righteous one, and, I and my people, are the wrong-doers.
9:28 Make ye request unto Yahweh, and it shall be enough without there being any more thunderings of God, and hail, -- and I must a let you go, and not again shall ye delay.
9:29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, will I spread out my hands unto Yahweh, -- the thunderings, shall cease, and, the hail, shall come no more, -- that thou mayest know, that to Yahweh, belongeth the earth.
9:30 But as touching thee and thy servants, I know that not yet will ye stand in awe of Yahweh Elohim.
9:31 Now, the flax and the barley, were smitten, -- for the barley, was in the ear, and, the flax, was in flower;
9:32 but the wheat and the spelt, were not smitten, -- for they were, not ripe.
9:33 So Moses went away from Pharaoh out of the city, and spread out his hands unto Yahweh, -- then did the thunderings and the hail cease, and, rain, was not poured out on the earth.
9:34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunderings had ceased, he again sinned, -- and made his heart dull, he, and his servants.
9:35 And the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, -- as spake Yahweh by the hand of Moses.


[Exodus 10]
10:1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, -- for, I, have suffered his heart to be dull and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs, in their midst;
10:2 and that thou mayest recount in the ears of thy son and thy sons' son, what I did in derision of the Egyptians, and my signs which I displayed among them, -- so shall ye know that I, am Yahweh.
10:3 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him -- Thus, saith Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, How long hast thou refused to humble thyself before me? Let my people go that they may serve me.
10:4 But if, refusing, thou art to let my people go, behold me bringing in tomorrow a locust within thy bounds;
10:5 and it shall cover the eye of the land, so that one shall not be able to see the land, -- and it shall eat the residue that hath escaped, that is left you from the hail, and shall eat up all the trees that sprout for you out of the field;
10:6 and they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants and the houses of all the Egyptians, such as thy fathers and thy fathers' fathers have never seen, from the day they came to be on the ground, until this day. And he turned away, and came out from the presence of Pharaoh.
10:7 Then said the servants of Pharaoh unto him, How long shall this [man] become to us a snare? Let the men go, that they may serve Yahweh their God. Not yet, knowest thou, that Egypt is, ruined?
10:8 So Moses and Aaron were brought back unto pharaoh, and he said unto them -- Go, serve Yahweh your God, -- who, are they that are going?
10:9 And Moses said, With our young and with our old, will we go, -- with our sons and with our daughters with our flocks and with our herds, will we go, -- for, the festival of Yahweh, is ours.
10:10 Then he said unto them: Let Yahweh, so, be with you, when I let go you and your little ones! Look out for, harm, is straight before your faces.
10:11 Not so! Go, I pray you, ye grown men and serve Yahweh, for, that, is what, ye, were seeking. And they were driven out from the presence of Pharaoh.
10:12 Then said Yahweh unto Moses -- Stretch forth thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locust, that it may come up over the land of Egypt, -- and may eat up every herb of the land, all that the hail hath left.
10:13 And Moses stretched forth his staff over the land of Egypt, and, Yahweh, caused an east wind to drive through the land, all that day, and all the night, -- when the morning, had come, the east wind, had brought the locust.
10:14 And the locust came up over all the land of Egypt, and settled in all the bounds of Egypt, -- very grievous, before it, had not been such a locust as that, neither after it, should be one like it.
10:15 So it covered the eye of all the land and the land was darkened, and it did eat every herb of the land and all the fruit of the trees, which the hail had left remaining, -- so that there was not left remaining any green sprout in the trees or in the herb of the field in all the land of Egypt.
10:16 Then hastened Pharaoh, to call for Moses and for Aaron, -- and said -- I have sinned against Yahweh your God, and against you.
10:17 Now, therefore, forgive I pray you my sin -- only this time, and make entreaty to Yahweh your God, -- that he may take away from me, at least, this death.
10:18 So he came out from Pharaoh, -- and made entreaty unto Yahweh;
10:19 and Yahweh turned back a west wind strong exceedingly, and carried away the locust and cast it into the Red Sea, -- there was not left a single locust in all the bounds of Egypt.
10:20 But Yahweh suffered the heart of Pharaoh to wax bold, -- and he did not let the sons of Israel go.
10:21 Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Stretch forth thy hand over the heavens, that there may be darkness, over the land of Egypt, -- and that one may feel the darkness.
10:22 So Moses stretched forth his hand over the heavens, -- and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days;
10:23 they saw not one another neither rose any man from his couch for three days, -- but all the sons of Israel, had light in their dwellings.
10:24 Then Pharaoh called out unto Moses and said -- Go serve Yahweh, only, your flocks and your herds, shall be left, -- even your little ones shall go with you.
10:25 And Moses said, Even thou thyself, shalt give into our hands sacrifices and ascending-offerings, -- so shall we present offerings to Yahweh our God.
10:26 Moreover also, our own cattle, shall go with us -- there shall not be left behind, a hoof, for thereof, must we take, to serve Yahweh our God, -- even we ourselves, cannot know wherewith we must serve Yahweh, until we have come in thither.
10:27 And Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, -- and he was not willing to let them go.
10:28 So Pharaoh said to him -- Get thee from me, -- take heed to thyself -- do not any more! see my face, for in the day thou dost see my face, thou shalt die.
10:29 And Moses said -- Well hast thou spoken, -- no more again to see thy face.


[Exodus 11]
11:1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses -- Yet one plague, will I bring in upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt, after that, he will let you go from hence, -- when he doth let you go, he will, altogether drive, you out from hence.
11:2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of the people, -- and let them ask -- every man of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, articles of silver and articles of gold.
11:3 And Yahweh gave the people favour, in the eyes of the Egyptians, -- even the man Moses himself, was exceeding great in the land of Egypt, -- in the eyes of Pharaoh's servants and in the eyes of the people.
11:4 And Moses said, Thus saith Yahweh, -- About midnight, am, I, going forth in the midst of Egypt;
11:5 then shall every firstborn in the land of Egypt die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, unto the firstborn of the handmaid who is behind the two millstones, -- and every firstborn of beasts;
11:6 then shall there be a great outcry, in all the land of Egypt, -- such, as never was and, such, as shall not be again.
11:7 But against none of the sons of Israel, shall a dog sharpen his tongue, neither against man nor beast, -- that ye may know that Yahweh maketh a difference between Egypt and Israel.
11:8 So shall all these thy servants come down unto me and bow themselves down to me saying -- Go forth, thou and all the people who are in thy footsteps, and after that, will I go forth. And he went forth from Pharaoh, in a heat of anger.
11:9 And Yahweh had said unto Moses, Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, -- that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
11:10 So then, Moses and Aaron, did all these wonders before Pharaoh, -- but Yahweh let Pharaoh's heart wax bold, and he did not let the sons of Israel go out of his land.


[Exodus 12]
12:1 Then spake Yahweh, unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt saying --
12:2 This month, is, to you, a beginning of months, -- the first, it is, to you, of the months of the year.
12:3 Speak ye unto all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month, then let them take to them, each man a lamb for his ancestral household, a lamb for a household.
12:4 But if the household be too small for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbour that is near unto his house take one, according to the number of souls, -- each man according to his eating, shall ye number for the lamb.
12:5 A lamb without defect a male a year old, shall yours be, -- from the sheep or from the goats, shall ye take it.
12:6 So shall it be yours, to keep, until the fourteenth day of this month, -- then shall all the convocation of the assembly of Israel slay it between the two evenings.
12:7 And they shall take of the blood, and put upon the two door-posts and upon the upper-beam, -- upon the houses wherein they are to eat it.
12:8 Then shall they eat the flesh, in the same night, -- roast with fire, and with unleavened cakes, with bitter herbs, shall they eat it.
12:9 Do not eat of it underdone, nor cooked by boiling in water, -- but roast with fire, its head with it, legs, and with its inward parts.
12:10 And ye shall let nothing thereof remain until morning, -- but that which is left remaining until morning, in the fire shall ye consume.
12:11 And, thus, shall ye eat it, -- your loins, girded, your sandals, on your feet, and, your staff, in your hand, -- so shall ye eat it in haste, it is Yahweh's, passing over.
12:12 I will pass along, therefore, throughout the land of Egypt this night, and will smite every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man even to beast, -- and against all the gods of Egypt, will I execute judgments -- I, Yahweh.
12:13 Then shall the blood serve you for a sign, on the houses wherein ye are, then will I behold the blood, and will pass over you, -- and there shall be among you no plague to destroy, when I smite the laud of Egypt.
12:14 So shall this day serve you for a memorial, and ye shall celebrate it, as a festival to Yahweh, -- to your generations -- as an age-abiding statute, shall ye celebrate it.
12:15 Seven days, unleavened cakes, shall ye eat, surely, on the first day, shall ye put away leaven, out of your houses, -- for whosoever eateth what is leavened, then shall that soul be cut off out of Israel, from the first day, unto the seventh day.
12:16 Both on the first day, a holy convocation, and on the seventh day -- a holy convocation, shall there be to you, -- no work, shall be done therein, save only what must be eaten by every soul, that alone, shall be done by you.
12:17 So then ye shall observe the unleavened cakes, because on this self-same day, brought I forth your hosts out of the land of Egypt, -- so then ye shall observe this day to your generations, as a statute age-abiding,
12:18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, shall ye eat unleavened cakes, -- until the one-and-twentieth day of the month in the evening,
12:19 For seven days, leaven, shall not be found in your houses, -- for, whosoever eateth what is leavened, then shall that soul be cut off out of the assembly of Israel, whether sojourner or native of the land.
12:20 Nothing leavened, shall ye eat, -- in all your dwellings, shall ye eat unleavened cakes.
12:21 So then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, -- Proceed and take for yourselves one of the flock according to your families, and slay the passover.
12:22 Then shall ye take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood which is in the basin, and strike the upper beam and the two door-posts, with the blood which is in the basin, -- and, ye, shall not go forth any man out of the entrance of his house, until morning,
12:23 And Yahweh will pass along to plague the Egyptians, and when he beholdeth the blood upon the upper beam and upon the two door-pests, then will Yahweh pass over the entrance, and not suffer the destroyer to enter into your houses to inflict on you the plague.
12:24 And ye shall observe this thing, -- for a statute to thee and to thy sons unto times age-abiding.
12:25 And so it shall come to pass when ye shall enter into the land which Yahweh will give you as he hath spoken, -- and ye shall observe this service;
12:26 and it shall come to pass that your sons shall say unto you, -- What is this your service?
12:27 Then shall ye say -- A passover sacrifice, it is to Yahweh, who passed-over the houses of the sons of Israel, in Egypt, when he plagued the Egyptians but our houses, he delivered. Then did the people bend their heads and bow themselves down.
12:28 And the sons of Israel went their way and did, -- as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so, did they.
12:29 And it came to pass, at midnight, that Yahweh, smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat upon his throne, unto the firstborn of the captive who was in the pit of his prison, -- and every firstborn of beasts.
12:30 Then rose up Pharaoh by night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there arose a great outcry throughout Egypt, -- for there was not a house, where there was not one dead.
12:31 So he called for Moses and for Aaron by night and said -- Rise ye, go forth out of the midst of my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, -- and go serve Yahweh according to your word;
12:32 also, your flocks and your herds, take ye, as ye spake and go your way, -- so shall ye bless, even me.
12:33 And the Egyptians became urgent with the people, to send them in haste out of the land, -- for they said -- We all, are dying.
12:34 So the people took up their dough, ere yet it was leavened, -- with their kneading-bowls, bound up in their mantles on their shoulders,
12:35 And the sons of Israel, did according to the word of Moses, -- and asked of the Egyptians, articles of silver and articles of gold and mantles.
12:36 And Yahweh, gave the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians and they gave them gladly, -- so they spoiled the Egyptians.
12:37 Then did the sons of Israel break up from Rameses, towards Succoth, -- about six hundred thousand foot of men grown, besides little ones.
12:38 Moreover also, a mixed multitude, came up with them, -- flocks also, and herds, exceeding much cattle,
12:39 Then baked they the dough which they had brought out of Egypt -- into round unleavened cakes for it had not been leavened, -- for they had been driven out of Egypt and could not tarry, and indeed no provisions, had they made ready for themselves.
12:40 Now, the time during which the sons of Israel dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
12:41 And it came to pass at the end of four hundred and thirty years, yea it came to pass, on this self-same day, that all the hosts of Yahweh had come forth out of the land of Egypt.
12:42 A night of solemn observances, it is unto Yahweh, for bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt, -- this same night, pertaineth to Yahweh, for solemn observances by all the sons of Israel to their generations.
12:43 And Yahweh said unto Moses and Aaron: This, is the statute of the passover, -- No stranger, shall eat thereof;
12:44 but, every man's servant bought with silver, -- when thou hast circumcised him, then, shall he eat thereof:
12:45 An alien or a hireling, shall not eat thereof.
12:46 In one house, shall it be eaten, thou shalt not take forth out of the house any of the flesh outside; and a, bone thereof, shalt thou not break.
12:47 All the assembly of Israel, shall keep it.
12:48 And when there may sojourn with thee a sojourner who may wish to keep a passover to Yahweh, there must be circumcised to him every male and then, may he draw near to keep it, so shall he be as a native of the land, -- but no uncircumcised male, shall eat thereof.
12:49 One law, shall there be for the native, and for the sojourner that sojourneth in your midst.
12:50 Thus did all the sons of Israel, -- as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so, did they.
12:51 And it came to pass, on this self-same day, that Yahweh brought forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, by their hosts.


[Exodus 13]
13:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
13:2 Hallow to me every firstborn, that which any female first beareth among the sons of Israel, among men and among beasts, -- mine! it is.
13:3 And Moses said unto the people -- [Ye are] to remember this day, on which ye came forth out of Egypt out of the house of slaves, that with strength of hand, did Yahweh bring you forth from hence, -- there shall not, therefore be eaten anything leavened.
13:4 To-day, are, ye, coming forth, -- in the month Abib.
13:5 And it shall be, when Yahweh shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite, and the Hivite and the Jebusite, which he sware to thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, then shalt thou serve with this service, in this month.
13:6 Seven days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes, -- and on the seventh day, [shall be] a festival to Yahweh.
13:7 Unleavened cakes, shall be eaten for the seven days, -- neither shall there be seen with thee anything leavened, nor shall there be seen with thee leaven, within any of thy bounds,
13:8 And thou shalt toll thy son, on that day, saying, -- [This is] because, of that which Yahweh did for me, when he brought me forth out of Egypt.
13:9 And it shall be to thee for a sign upon thy hand and for a memorial between thine eyes, in order that the law of Yahweh may be in thy mouth, -- for with a strong hand, did Yahweh bring thee forth out of Egypt.
13:10 So shalt thou observe this statute in its appointed time, -- from year to year.
13:11 And it shall be when Yahweh shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, as he sware to thee and to thy fathers, -- and shalt give it thee,
13:12 that thou shalt set apart whatsoever is born first, to Yahweh; and, of all firstlings of beasts which thou shalt have, the males, shall pertain to Yahweh.
13:13 But every firstling of an ass, shalt thou redeem with a lamb or if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck, -- but every firstborn of men among thy sons, shalt thou redeem.
13:14 And it shall be when thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What is this? Then shalt thou say unto him: With strength of hand, did Yahweh bring us forth out of Egypt out of the house of slaves.
13:15 And it came to pass when Pharaoh had shown himself too hardened to let us go, then did Yahweh slay every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of men even unto the firstborn of beasts. For this cause, am, I, sacrificing to Yahweh whatsoever is born first, of the males, and every firstborn of my sons, must I redeem.
13:16 And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, -- that, with strength of hand, did Yahweh bring us forth out of Egypt.
13:17 And it came to pass when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead by the land-way of the Philistines, although it was near, -- for God said -- Lest the people be dismayed when they see war and turn back to Egypt.
13:18 So God took the people round the desert-way of the Red Sea, -- and the sons of Israel went up armed, out of the land of Egypt.
13:19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph, with him, -- for he had, taken an oath, of the sons of Israel saying, God will, surely visit, you, so then ye shall carry up my bones from hence with you.
13:20 And they brake up from Succoth, -- and encamped in Etham, at the edge of the desert.
13:21 Now, Yahweh, was going before them -- by day, in a pillar of cloud to lead them the way, and by night, in a pillar of fire to give them light, -- that they might journey day and night:
13:22 the pillar of cloud by day ceased not, nor the pillar of fire by night, -- from before the people.


[Exodus 14]
14:1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
14:2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, -- before Baal-zephon, over against it, shall ye encamp, by the sea.
14:3 Then will Pharaoh say, of the sons of Israel, Entangled, they are in the land, -- the desert hath closed in upon them.
14:4 So will I let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, and he will pursue them, that I may get me honour over Pharaoh, and over all his forces, and the Egyptians shall know, that I, am Yahweh. And they did so.
14:5 And it was told the king of Egypt, that the people had fled, -- and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people, and they said -- What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
14:6 So he yoked his chariot, -- and his people, took he with him.
14:7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, -- with warriors in every one.
14:8 And Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt wax bold, and he pursued the sons of Israel, -- when the sons of Israel, were going out with a high hand.
14:9 So the Egyptians pursued them and overtook them, encamping by the sea -- all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his forces, -- by Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
14:10 Now when, Pharaoh, had drawn near, the sons of Israel lifted up their eyes, and lo! the Egyptians, moving along after them and they feared greatly, and the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh.
14:11 Then said they unto Moses, Was it because there were no graves in Egypt, that thou didst fetch us to die in the desert? What is this thou hast done to us, bringing us forth out of Egypt?
14:12 Is not this the word which we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians, -- for it is better for us, to serve the Egyptians, than to die in the desert?
14:13 And Moses said unto the people -- Do not fear, stand still and see the salvation of Yahweh, which be will work for you to-day, -- for as for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall not again see them any more to times age-abiding.
14:14 Yahweh, will fight for you, -- and, ye, shall forbear.
14:15 And Yahweh said unto Moses, What outcry wouldst thou make unto me? Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they go forward;
14:16 and, thou, lift high thy staff and stretch forth thy hand over the sea and cleave it asunder, -- that the sons of Israel may enter into the midst of the sea on dry ground;
14:17 and, I, behold me letting the heart of the Egyptians wax bold, that they may enter after them, -- that I may get me honour over Pharaoh and over his forces, over his chariots, and over his horsemen,
14:18 And the Egyptians shall know, that, I, am Yahweh, -- when I have gotten me honour over Pharaoh, over his chariots and over his horsemen.
14:19 And the messenger of God who was going on before the camp of Israel removed, and came on behind them, -- and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them;
14:20 so it came in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, so it became a cloud and darkness, and yet lighted up the night, -- so that the one came not near unto the other, all the night.
14:21 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and Yahweh carried away the sea by a mighty east wind all the night, and turned the sea into dry land, -- and the waters were cloven asunder.
14:22 Then went the sons of Israel into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, -- and, the waters, to them, were a wall, on their right hand and on their left.
14:23 And the Egyptians pursued, and entered after them -- all the horses of Pharaoh his chariots and his horsemen, -- into the midst of the sea.
14:24 And it came to pass in the morning watch, that Yahweh looked down into the camp of the Egyptians, through the pillar of fire and cloud, and confused the camp of the Egyptians;
14:25 and he took off the wheels of their chariots, and made them drive heavily, -- so that the Egyptians said -- We must flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh, is fighting for them against the Egyptians.
14:26 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand over the sea, -- that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
14:27 So Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea and the sea returned, towards morning, to its steady flow, when the Egyptians, were fleeing to meet it, -- thus Yahweh shook off the Egyptians into the midst of the sea;
14:28 thus the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the forces of Pharaoh that were entering after them into the sea, -- there was not left remaining among them so much as one.
14:29 But the sons of Israel, had gone their way on dry ground in the saidst of the sea, -- and the waters had been to them a wall, on their right hand and on their left.
14:30 Thus did Yahweh, on that day, save Israel, out of the hand of the Egyptians, -- and Israel saw the Egyptians, dead on the shore of the sea.
14:31 And when Israel saw the mighty hand wherewith Yahweh had wrought against the Egyptians, then did the people revere Yahweh, -- and they put their trust in Yahweh, and in Moses, his servant.


[Exodus 15]
15:1 Then, sang Moses, and the sons of Israel, this song unto Yahweh, and they spake, saying, -- I will sing to Yahweh, for he is exalted, exalted, -- The horse and his rider, hath he cast into the sea.
15:2 My might and melody, is Yah, And he became mine, by salvation, -- This, is my GOD, and I will glorify him, The God of my father and I will set him on high.
15:3 Yahweh is a warlike one, -- Yahweh, is his name.
15:4 The chariots of Pharaoh and his train, hath he cast into the sea, -- Yea, the choice of his warriors, were sunk in the Sedgy Sea.
15:5 Roaring deeps, covered them, -- They went down in the raging depths like a stone.
15:6 Thy right hand, O Yahweh is splendid in power, -- Thy right hand, O Yahweh dasheth in pieces a foe;
15:7 And in the greatness of thine exaltation, dost thou tear down thine opposers, -- Thou dost send forth thy wrath, it consumeth them as straw;
15:8 And with the blast of thy nostrils, heaped up are the waters, Upreared like a mound, are the flowing waves, -- Roaring deeps are congealed in the heart of the sea.
15:9 Said the fee -- I will pursue -- overtake divide spoil, -- Take her fill of them -- shall my soul, I will bare my sword, root them out -- shall my hand.
15:10 Thou didst blow with thy wind they were covered by the sea, -- They rolled like lead, into the waters so wide. Who is, like unto thee, among the mighty O Yahweh?
15:11 Who is, like unto thee, Majestic in holiness, -- To be revered in praises, Doing a marvellous thing?
15:12 Thou didst stretch forth thy right hand, earth swallowed them up.
15:13 Thou hast led forth in thy lovingkindness, the people which thou hast redeemed, -- Thou hast guided them in thy might into the home of thy holiness.
15:14 Peoples have heard they tremble, -- A pang, hath seized the dwellers of Philistia:
15:15 Then, were amazed the chiefs of Edom, The mighty ones of Moab, there seizeth them, a trembling, -- Melted away, have all the dwellers of Canaan:
15:16 There falleth upon them a terror and dread, With the greatness of thine arm, are they struck dumb as a stone, -- Till thy people pass over O Yahweh, Till the people pass over, which thou hast made thine own: --
15:17 Thou bringest them in and plantest them, In the mountain of thine inheritance, Thy dwelling-place to abide in which thou hast made, O Yahweh, -- A hallowed place O My Lord which thy hands have established.
15:18 Yahweh, shall reign unto times age-abiding and beyond.
15:19 For the horses of Pharaoh, with his chariots and his horsemen, entered into the sea, Then did Yahweh bring back upon them the waters of the sea, -- But the sons of Israel, had gone their way on the dry ground through the midst of the sea.
15:20 Then took Miriam the prophetess, sister of Aaron the timbrel in her hand, -- and all the women came forth after her with timbrels and dances,
15:21 And Miriam responded to the men, Sing to Yahweh for he is exalted -- exalted, The horse and his rider, hath he cast into the sea.
15:22 And Moses caused Israel to break up from the Red Sea, and they went out into the desert of Shur, -- and journeyed three days in the desert and found no water;
15:23 and, when they came in towards Marah they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter, -- for this taut, was the name thereof called Marah.
15:24 So the people murmured against Moses -- saying, What are we to drink?
15:25 And he made outcry unto Yahweh, and Yahweh pointed out a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters became sweet, -- There, he appointed him a statute and regulation And, there, he put him to the proof.
15:26 And he said: If thou, wilt indeed hearken, to the voice of Yahweh thy God, And the thing that is right in his eyes, thou wilt do, And so give ear to his commandments, And keep all his statutes, None of the sicknesses which I laid on the Egyptians, will I lay upon thee, For, I, am Yahweh, thy physician.
15:27 Then came they in to Elim, and there, were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm-trees, -- so they encamped there, by the waters.


[Exodus 16]
16:1 Then moved they on from Elim, and all the assembly of the sons of Israel entered into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month, by their coming forth out of the land of Egypt.
16:2 Then did all the assembly of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the desert;
16:3 and the sons of Israel said unto them -- Oh that we had died by the hand of Yahweh, in the land of Egypt, when we remained by the pot of flesh, when we did eat bread to the full, -- for ye have brought us forth into this desert, to cause all this multitude to die by famine.
16:4 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Behold me! ruining down for you bread out of heaven, -- and the people shall go out and gather the portion for a day, on its day, that I may prove them whether they will walk in my law, or not.
16:5 And it shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall settle what they shall bring in, -- and it shall be twice as much as they gather day by day.
16:6 So Moses and Aaron said unto all the sons of Israel, -- At eventide, then shall ye know that it was, Yahweh, who brought you forth, out of the land of Egypt;
16:7 and, in the morning, then shall ye see the glory of Yahweh, in that he hath heard your murmurings against Yahweh, -- what then are, we, that ye should murmur against, us?
16:8 And Moses said -- In that Yahweh giveth you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning, to the full, in that Yahweh heareth your murmurings wherewith ye are murmuring against him, what then are, we? Not against us, do ye murmur but against Yahweh.
16:9 And Moses said unto Aaron, Say unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, Draw near, before Yahweh, -- for he hath heard your murmurings.
16:10 And it came to pass, when Aaron spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, then turned they towards the desert, -- and lo! the glory of Yahweh, had appeared in the cloud,
16:11 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses -- saying,
16:12 I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel, -- speak unto them, saying -- Between the two evenings, shall ye eat flesh, and in the morning, shall ye be filled with bread, -- so shall ye know that I Yahweh am your God.
16:13 And it came to pass, in the evening, that there came up quail, and covered the camp, -- and in the morning was the outpouring of dew, round about the camp;
16:14 and when the outpouring of dew went up, then lo! on the face of the desert, a thin flake, thin as hoar-frost on the earth,
16:15 And when the sons of Israel saw it they said one to another -- What is that? For they knew not what "that" was. Then said Moses unto them, "That" is the bread which Yahweh hath given you to eat.
16:16 This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded, Gather ye thereof, each man what he needeth for eating, -- an omer a head, by the number of your souls, each man -- for them who are in his tent, shall ye take.
16:17 And the sons of Israel did so, -- and gathered, [some] more, and [some] less;
16:18 and when they measured it with the omer, he who had gathered more had nothing over, and he who had gathered less had no lack: each man what he needed for eating, did they gather.
16:19 And Moses said unto them, -- Let, no man leave thereof, until morning.
16:20 But they hearkened not unto Moses, but certain men left thereof until morning, and it swarmed with worms and become loathsome, -- and Moses was wroth with them.
16:21 Thus then they gathered it morning by morning, each man what he needed for eating, and as soon as the sun waxed hot, so soon it melted.
16:22 And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered food twice as much, two omers for each one, -- so all the princes of the assembly came in, and told Moses.
16:23 And he said unto them -- That is what Yahweh spake. The observance of a holy sabbath to Yahweh, is to-morrow, -- what ye would bake, bake and what ye would boil, boil, and all that is left over, put by you to keep until the morning.
16:24 So they put it by until the morning, as Moses had commanded, -- and it gave no unpleasant odour, neither was there a worm, therein.
16:25 Then said Moses -- Eat ye it to-day, for a sabbath, is to-day, unto Yahweh, -- to-day, ye shall not find it in the field.
16:26 Six days, shall ye gather it, -- but on the seventh day, a sabbath, it shall not be therein.
16:27 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went forth some of the people to gather, -- but they found not.
16:28 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, -- How long have ye refused to keep my commandments and my laws?
16:29 See because Yahweh hath given you the sabbath, for this cause, is, he, giving you on the sixth day, food for two days, -- abide ye every man in his place, let no man go forth from his dwelling, on the seventh day,
16:30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
16:31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna, -- and the same, was like coriander seed white, and the taste thereof, like flat-cake with honey,
16:32 And Moses said -- This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded, Fill an omer therefrom as a thing to be preserved to your generations, -- that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the desert, when I brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.
16:33 So Moses said unto Aaron -- Take a single basket, and put therein an omer-full of manna, -- and set it down before Yahweh, as a thing to be preserved to your generations.
16:34 As Yahweh gave command unto Moses, so did Aaron set it down before the testimony, as a thing to be preserved,
16:35 And, the sons of Israel did eat the manna forty years, until they entered into the land wherein they were to dwell, -- the manna, they did eat until they entered into the bounds of the land of Canaan.
16:36 Now, an omer, is, the tenth of the ephah.


[Exodus 17]
17:1 And all the assembly of the sons of Israel set forward out of the desert of Sin, by their removings, at the bidding of Yahweh, -- and encamped in Rephidim, and there was no water for the people to drink.
17:2 And the people found fault with Moses, and said -- Give us water, that we may drink. And Moses said to them, Why should ye find fault with me? Why should ye put Yahweh to the proof?
17:3 So the people thirsted, there for water, and the people murmured against Moses, -- and said -- Wherefore is it that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill me and my sons and my cattle, with thirst?
17:4 And Moses made outcry unto Yahweh saying, What am I to do, with this people? Yet a little, and they will stone me.
17:5 Then said Yahweh unto Moses -- Pass over before the people, and take with thee some of the elders of Israel, -- thy staff also wherewith thou didst smite the river, take thou in thy hand, so shalt thou go thy way.
17:6 Behold me! standing before thee, there upon the rock in Horeb, then shalt thou smite the rock and there shall come forth therefrom water, and the people shall drink. And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel.
17:7 So he called the name of the place, Massah, and Meribah, -- because of the fault-finding of the sons of Israel, and because of their putting Yahweh to the proof, saying, Is Yahweh in our midst or is he not?
17:8 Then came in Amalek, -- and fought with Israel, in Rephidim.
17:9 And Moses said unto Joshua -- Choose for us men, and go forth, fight with Amalek, -- to-morrow, am, I, stationing myself upon the top of the hill, with the staff of God in my hand.
17:10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, to fight with Amalek, -- and Moses, Aaron and Hur, went up to the top of the hill.
17:11 And it shall be when Moses shall lift on high his hands, then shall Israel prevail, but when he shall let down his hands, then shall Amalek prevail.
17:12 But, the hands of Moses, were weary, so they took a stone, and put under him, and he sat thereupon, -- and, Aaron and Hur, upheld his hands -- on this side, one and on that side, one, and so his hands became steady, until the going in of the sun.
17:13 So Joshua overthrew Amalek and his people, with the edge of the sword.
17:14 Then said Yahweh unto Moses -- Write this as a remembrancer in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Jeshua -- that I will, wipe out, the remembrance of Amalek, from under the heavens.
17:15 And Moses built an altar, -- and called the name thereof, Yahweh-nissi.
17:16 And he said -- Because of a hand against the throne of Yah, Yahweh hath war with Amalek, -- from generation to generation!


[Exodus 18]
18:1 And Jethro, priest of Midian, father-in-law of Moses, heard all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, -- in that Yahweh had brought forth Israel out of Egypt.
18:2 So Jethro, Moses father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses wife, -- after she had been sent home;
18:3 and her two sons, -- of whom, the name of the one, was Gershom, for, said he, A sojourner, am I in a strange land,
18:4 and, the name of the other, Eliezer, for the God of my father, was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.
18:5 And Jethro, Moses father-in-law, came in, with his two sons and his wife, unto Moses, -- into the desert where, he, was encamping, the mountain of God;
18:6 and said unto Moses, I, thy father-in-law, Jethro, am coming in unto thee, -- and thy wife, and her two sons, with her.
18:7 So Moses went forth to meet his father-in-law, and bowed himself down to him and kissed him, and they asked each other of their welfare, -- and came into the tent.
18:8 Then Moses recounted to his father-in-law, all that Yahweh had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians, for Israel's sake, -- all the hardship which had befallen them by the way, and how Yahweh had delivered them.
18:9 Then did Jethro rejoice, for all the good which Yahweh had done to Israel, -- whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
18:10 And Jethro said -- Blessed be Yahweh, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh, -- Who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians:
18:11 Now, I know, that, greater, is Yahweh than all the gods, -- Even in the thing wherein they were arrogant over them.
18:12 Then took Jethro father-in-law of Moses, an ascending-offering and sacrifices to God, -- and Aaron and all the elders of Israel came in to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses before God.
18:13 Now it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat, to judge the people, -- and the people stood by Moses, from the morning, until the evening.
18:14 And when Moses father-in-law saw all that he, was doing for the people, he said -- What is this thing which, thou, art doing for the people? Wherefore art, thou, sitting alone, with all the people, stationed by thee, from morning until evening?
18:15 And Moses said to his father-in-law, -- Because the people come in unto me to seek God:
18:16 When they have a matter, they come in unto me, then do I judge between a man and his neighbour, -- and make known the statutes of God and his laws.
18:17 Then said Moses' father-in-law unto him, -- Not good, is the thing that thou art doing.
18:18 Thou wilt get quite worn out, both thou and this people that is with thee, -- for the thing is too heavy for thee, thou canst not do it, alone.
18:19 Now, hearken thou to my voice -- let me counsel thee, and may God be with thee: Be, thou, for the people, in front of God, so shalt, thou, bring the matters unto God;
18:20 and shalt cause to shine upon them, the statutes and the laws, -- and make known to them the way wherein they should go, and the work they should do.
18:21 Thou thyself, therefore shalt look out, from among all the people -- men of ability, reverers of God, men of fidelity, haters of extortion, -- and place them over [them] as rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
18:22 So shall they judge the people at any time, and it shall be, all the great matters, shall they bring in unto thee, but all the small matters, shall, they themselves, judge, -- so, lighten thou the burden for thyself, and let them bear it with thee.
18:23 If, this thing, thou wilt do, and God shall command thee, then shalt thou be able to endure, -- yea, moreover, all this people, shall go in, unto their dwellings, contented.
18:24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said;
18:25 and Moses chose men of ability out of all Israel, and set them to be heads over the people, -- rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
18:26 And they shall judge the people, at any time, -- the hard matters, shall they bring in unto Moses, but all the small matters, shall, they themselves, judge.
18:27 And Moses sent forth his father-in-law, -- and he went his way by himself unto his own land.


[Exodus 19]
19:1 In the third month, by the coming forth of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, on this day, came they into the desert of Sinai:
19:2 then was it that they brake up out of Rephidim and came into the desert of Sinai, and encamped in the desert, -- yea Israel encamped there before the mountain.
19:3 And when Moses, had gone up unto God, then called Yahweh unto him out of the mountain saying, Thus, shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, And tell the sons of Israel:
19:4 Ye, have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, -- And how I bare you upon wings of eagles, And brought you in unto myself: --
19:5 Now, therefore, if ye will, indeed hearken, to my voice, And keep my covenant, Then shall ye be mine as a treasure beyond all the peoples, For, mine, is all the earth;
19:6 But, ye, shall be mine, As a kingdom of priests, And a holy nation. These, are the words, which thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel.
19:7 Then came Moses, and called for the elders of the people, -- and put before them all these words which Yahweh had commanded him.
19:8 And all the people responded together and said, All that Yahweh hath spoken, will we do. And Moses took back the words of the people, unto Yahweh.
19:9 Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Lo! I, am coming unto thee in the veiling of cloud, in order that the people may hear when I speak with thee, moreover also, that, in thee, they may trust to times age-abiding. Then told Moses the words of the people unto Yahweh.
19:10 And Yahweh said unto Moses -- Go unto the people, and thou shalt hallow them to-day, and to-morrow, -- and they shall wash their clothes;
19:11 and shall be ready, by the third day, -- for on the third day, will Yahweh come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai.
19:12 So then thou shalt set bounds for the people round about saying, Take heed to yourselves -- that ye go not up into the mountain, nor touch the boundary thereof, whosoever toucheth the mountain, shall, surely die.
19:13 No hand shall touch it but he shall be, surely stoned, or be, surely shot, whether beast or man, he shall not live, -- When the rams horn soundeth, they themselves, shall come up within the mount,
19:14 Then Moses went down out of the mount, unto the people, -- and hallowed the people, and they washed their clothes.
19:15 And he said unto the people, Be ready, by the third day, -- do not approach a woman.
19:16 And it came to pass on the third day, when the morning had come, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a heavy cloud upon the mount, and the sound of a horn, loud exceedingly, -- and all the people who were in the camp trembled.
19:17 And Moses brought forth the people, to meet God out of the camp, -- and they stationed themselves in the lower part of the mount,
19:18 And Mount Sinai, smoked, all over, because Yahweh had come down thereon in fire, -- and the smoke thereof went up as the smoke of a furnace, and all the mountain trembled exceedingly.
19:19 And as oft as the sound of the horn went on and became exceeding loud, Moses, spake and, God, responded to him with a voice.
19:20 Thus came Yahweh down upon Mount Sinai unto the top of the mount, -- and Yahweh called Moses unto the top of the mount, and Moses went up.
19:21 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go dawn adjure the people, -- lest they press through unto Yahweh to see, and so there fall from among them a multitude.
19:22 Yea, even the priests who do approach unto Yahweh, must hallow themselves, -- lest Yahweh break in upon them.
19:23 And Moses said unto Yahweh, The people cannot come up into Mount Sinai, -- for, thou thyself, hast adjured us saying: Set bounds to the mountain and hallow it.
19:24 And Yahweh said unto him -- Away, down, then shalt thou come up, thou and Aaron with thee, -- but as for the priests and the people, let it not be that they press through to come up unto Yahweh lest he break in upon them.
19:25 So Moses went down unto the people, -- and said [these things] unto them.


[Exodus 20]
20:1 And God spake all these words saying: --
20:2 I, am Yahweh thy God, -- who have brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of servants: --
20:3 Thou shalt not have other gods besides me.
20:4 Thou shalt not make to thee an image, or any form, that is in the heavens above, -- or that is in the earth beneath, -- or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
20:5 thou shalt not bow thyself down to them nor be led to serve them -- For, I, Yahweh, thy God, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, unto three [generations] and, unto four, of them that hate me;
20:6 but shewing lovingkindness unto thousands [of generations], -- of them who love me, and keep my commandments.
20:7 Thou shalt not utter the name of Yahweh thy God for falsehood, for Yahweh will not let him go unpunished who uttereth his name for falsehood.
20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to hallow it:
20:9 Six days, shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;
20:10 but, the seventh day, is a sabbath unto Yahweh thy God, -- thou shalt do no work, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant, nor thy handmaid, nor thy beast, nor thy sojourner who is within thy gates,
20:11 For, in six days, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, [and] the sea -- and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day, -- for this cause, Yahweh blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.
20:12 Honour thy father, and thy mother, -- that thy days may be prolonged upon the soil, which Yahweh thy God is about to give unto thee.
20:13 Thou shalt not commit murder.
20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
20:15 Thou shalt not steal.
20:16 Thou shalt not testify against thy neighbour, with a witness of falsehood.
20:17 Thou shalt not covet, thy neighbours house, -- thou shalt not covet, thy neighbour's wife nor his servant nor his handmaid nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything which belongeth unto thy neighbour.
20:18 And, all the people, were witnessing the voices and the torches, and the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking, -- so then the people were struck with awe and shrank back, and stood afar off.
20:19 And they said unto Moses, Speak, thou, with us, and we will hear, -- but let not God speak with us lest we die.
20:20 And Moses said unto the people -- Do not fear, for to the end he may prove you, hath God come, -- and to the end the reverence of him may be upon your faces that ye sin not.
20:21 So then the people stood afar off, and, Moses, approached unto the thick gloom, where God was.
20:22 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Thus, shalt thou say, unto the sons of Israel, -- Ye yourselves, have seen that out of the heavens, have I spoken with you.
20:23 Ye shall not make [aught] beside me, -- neither gods of silver, nor gods of gold, shall ye make to yourselves.
20:24 An altar of earth, shalt thou make to me, then shalt thou offer thereupon thine ascending-sacrifices and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen. In every place where I may mention my name, will I come in unto thee and will bless thee.
20:25 But if, an altar of stones, thou wilt make to me, thou shalt not build them hewn, -- for as soon as thou hast lifted, thy sharp tool, thereupon, thou hast profaned it;
20:26 neither shalt thou go up, by steps unto mine altar, -- lest by any means thy shame be discovered thereupon.


[Exodus 21]
21:1 Now, these are the regulations which thou shalt put before them.
21:2 When thou shalt acquire a servant who is a Hebrew, six years, shall he serve, -- but in the seventh shall he go out freely -- for nought.
21:3 If, by himself, he came in, by himself, shall he go out, -- if he was married, then shall his wife go out with him.
21:4 If his lord gave him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her lords, and, he shall go out by himself.
21:5 But, if the servant shall plainly say, I love my lord, and my wife and my sons, -- I will not go out free,
21:6 then shall his lord bring him near unto God, and shall bring him near unto the door, or unto the door-post, -- and his lord shall pierce his ear with an awl, so shall he serve him all his life.
21:7 And when a man shall sell iris daughter to be a handmaid, she shall not go out according to the out-going of the men-servants,
21:8 If she is uncomely in the eyes of her lord, who hath not assigned her in marriage, then shall he suffer her to be redeemed: to a strange people, shall he not have power to sell her in that he hath dealt treacherously with her.
21:9 And if to his soul he assign her, according to the custom for daughters, shall he do for her.
21:10 If he take to himself another, her food her clothing, and her marriage-right, shall he not withdraw.

[Exodus 24]
24:1 And unto Moses, he said -- Come up unto Yahweh -- thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, so shall ye bow yourselves down from afar.
24:2 And Moses alone shall draw near unto Yahweh, but, they shall not draw near, and, the people, shall not come up with him.
24:3 So Moses came, and recounted to the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the regulations, and all the people responded with one voice and said, All the words which Yahweh hath spoken, will we do.
24:4 Then wrote Moses all the words of Yahweh, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar, under the mountain, and twelve pillars, for the twelve tribes of Israel:
24:5 and he sent young men of the sons of Israel, and they caused to go up, ascending-sacrifices, -- and slew peace-offerings to Yahweh, of oxen.
24:6 Then took Moses half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood, dashed he over the altar:
24:7 then took he the book of the covenant, and read in the ears of the people. And they said, All that Yahweh hath spoken, will we do, and will hearken,
24:8 Then Moses took the blood, and dashed over the people, and said, Lo! the blood of the covenant which Yahweh hath solemnised with you, over all these words.
24:9 Then went up Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel;
24:10 and they saw the God of Israel, -- and under his feet, like a pavement of sapphire, and like the very heavens for brightness; and
24:11 against the nobles of the sons of Israel, put he not forth his hand, -- so then they had vision of God, and did eat and drink,
24:12 Then said Yahweh unto Moses -- Come thou up unto me in the mountain and remain thou there, -- for I must give thee tables of stone and the law and the commandment, which I have written to direct them.
24:13 And Moses rose up, and Joshua his attendant, and Moses went up into the mountain of God;
24:14 but, unto the elders, he said -- Tarry for us here, until we return unto you. And lo! Aaron and Hur, are with you, he that hath a cause, let him draw near unto them.
24:15 So then Moses wont up into the mountain, -- and the cloud covered the mountain.
24:16 And the glory of Yahweh rested upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days, -- then called he unto Moses on the seventh day, out of the midst of the cloud.
24:17 And the appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like a consuming fire h on the top of the mountain, -- in the sight of the sons of Israel.
24:18 And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and ascended into the mountain. And it came to pass that Moses was in the mountain forty days and forty nights.

27:19 All the utensils of the habitation, throughout all the service thereof, -- and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the court, of bronze.
27:20 Thou thyself, therefore, shalt command the sons of Israel that they bring unto thee -- pure, beaten olive-oil, for giving light, -- that the lamp may lift up its flame continually.
27:21 In the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is by the testimony, shall Aaron and his sons order it from evening until morning, before Yahweh, -- a statute age-abiding, to their generations, from the sons of Israel.


[Exodus 28]
28:1 Thou thyself, therefore bring near unto thee -- Aaron thy brother and his sons with him out of the midst of the sons of Israel, that they may minister as priests unto me, -- Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar sons of Aaron.
28:2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, -- for glory and for beauty.
28:3 Thou thyself, therefore, shalt speak unto all the wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, -- and they shall make Aaron's garments, to hallow him for ministering as priest unto me.
28:4 These, therefore are the garments which they shall make -- a breastpiece, and an ephod and a robe, and a tunic of checker work, a turban and a girdle, -- so shall they make holy garments for Aaron thy brother and for his sons, for ministering as priests unto me.
28:5 They themselves, therefore, shall take the gold, and the blue and the purple, -- and the crimson, and the fine linen.
28:6 And they shall make the ephod, -- of gold, blue and purple crimson and fine-twined linen, the work of a skilful weaver.
28:7 Two joining shoulderpieces, shall there be to it upon the two extremities thereof that it may be joined together,
28:8 And the curious band for fastening it, that is upon it, like the work thereof of the same, shall it be, -- of gold blue and purple and crimson and fine-twined linen,
28:9 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, -- and engrave upon them the names of the sons of Israel:
28:10 six of their names, on the one stone, -- and the names of the six that remain, on the second stone according to their births:
28:11 with the work of a stone engraver, like seal-ring engravings, shalt thou engrave the two stones, after the names of the sons of Israel, -- to be encircled with settings of gold, shalt thou make them.
28:12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulderpieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, -- so shall Aaron bear their names before Yahweh upon his two shoulders, for a memorial.
28:13 And thou shalt make ouches of gold;
28:14 and two chains of pure gold, like cord, shalt thou make them, of wreathen work, and thou shalt put the wreathen chains on the ouches.
28:15 And thou shalt make a breastpiece for giving sentence the work of a skilful weaver, like the work of the ephod, shalt thou make it, of gold, blue, and purple and crimson and fine-twined linen, shalt thou make it.
28:16 Four-square, shall it be double, -- a span the length thereof and a span the breadth thereof.
28:17 And thou shalt set therein a setting of stones, four rows of stones, -- one row -- a sardius, a topaz and an emerald, the first row;
28:18 and the second row a carbuncle a sapphire and a diamond;
28:19 and the third row an opal, an agate, and an amethyst;
28:20 and the fourth row, a Tarshish stone, a sardonyx, and a jasper, -- enclosed with gold, shall they be when they are set.
28:21 And the stones shall be after the names of the sons of Israel -- twelve, after their names, -- as the engravings of a seal-ring everyone after his name, shall they be, for the twelve tribes,
28:22 And thou shalt make, upon the breastpiece, chains like cords of wreathen work, -- of pure gold.
28:23 And thou shalt make, upon the breastpiece, two rings of gold, -- and thou shalt place the two rings, upon the two ends of the breastpiece.
28:24 And thou shalt hang the two wreathen chains of gold upon the two rings, -- upon the ends of the breastpiece;
28:25 and the other two ends of the two wreathen chains, shalt thou fasten upon the two ouches, so shalt thou hang them upon the shoulderpieces of the ephod, in the forefront thereof.
28:26 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastpiece upon the border thereof, which is on the side of the ephod inwards.
28:27 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and place them upon the two shoulderpieces of the ephod beneath, on the front of the face thereof, over against its joining, above the curious band of the ephod:
28:28 that they may bind the breastpiece by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue, so that it may remain upon the curious band of the ephod, and the breastpiece not be removed from of the ephod.
28:29 So shall Aaron bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastpiece for giving sentence upon his heart when he goeth into the holy place, -- for a memorial before Yahweh continually.
28:30 Thus shalt thou place, in the breastpiece for giving sentence, the lights and the perfections, so shall they be upon the heart of Aaron when he goeth in before Yahweh, -- so shall Aaron bear the sentence of the sons of Israel, upon his heart before Yahweh continually.
28:31 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod wholly of blue;
28:32 and the opening for his head shall be in the midst thereof, -- a border, shall there be to the opening thereof round about the work of a weaver, like the opening of a coat of mail, shall there be to it, it must not be rent.
28:33 And thou shalt make upon the skirts thereof pomegranates of blue and purple and crimson, upon the skirts thereof round about -- and bells of gold in the midst of them round about:
28:34 a bell of gold and a pomegranate, a bell of gold, and a pomegranate, -- upon the skirts of the robe, round about.
28:35 And it shall be upon Aaron, for ministering, -- so shall be heard the sound of him -- when he goeth into the holy place, before Yahweh, and cometh out, and dieth not.
28:36 And thou shalt make a burnished plate, of pure gold, -- and shalt engrave thereupon, like the engravings of a seal-ring, Holiness to Yahweh.
28:37 And thou shalt put it upon a cord of blue, so shall it be upon the turban, -- upon the forefront of the turban, shall it be.
28:38 So shall it be upon the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the hallowed things, which the sons of Israel shall hallow, for all their hallowed gift, -- and it shall be upon his forehead continually, that there may be acceptance for them before Yahweh.
28:39 And thou shalt weave, in checker work the tunic of fine linen, and shalt make a turban of fine linen, -- and, a girdle, shalt thou make the work of an embroiderer.
28:40 And, for the sons of Aaron, shalt thou make tunics, and shalt make for them girdles, -- and caps, shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.
28:41 And thou shalt clothe therewith Aaron thy brother, and his sons, with him, -- and shalt anoint them and install them, and hallow them, so shall they minister as priests unto me.
28:42 And thou shalt make for them breeches of linen, to cover their unseemliness, from the loins even unto the thighs, shall they be;
28:43 so shall they be upon Aaron and upon his sons, when they go into the tent of meeting, or when they approach unto the altar, to minister in the holy place, lest they bear iniquity, and die, -- a statute age-abiding, to him and to his seed after him.


[Exodus 29]
29:1 And, his, is the thing which thou shalt do to them to hallow them, that they may minister as priests unto me, -- Take one young bullock and two rams without defect;
29:2 and bread unleavened and cakes unleavened with oil poured over, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil, -- of fine wheaten meal, shalt thou make them;
29:3 and thou shalt place them in one basket, and bring them near in the basket, -- and the bullock, and the two rams.
29:4 And Aaron and his sons, shalt thou bring near, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, -- and shalt bathe them in water.
29:5 And thou shalt take the garments and clothe Aaron -- with the tunic, and with the robe of the ephod, and with the ephod, and with the breastpiece, -- and shalt gird him with the curious band of the ephod;
29:6 and shalt put the turban upon his head, -- and place the holy crown upon the turban.
29:7 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour upon his bead, -- so shalt thou anoint him.
29:8 His sons also, shalt thou bring near, -- and clothe them with tunics;
29:9 and thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and twist round for them caps, so shall they have priesthood by a statute age-abiding, -- so shalt thou install, Aaron and his sons.
29:10 And thou shalt bring near the bullock, before the tent of meeting, -- and Aaron and his sons shall lean their hands upon the head of the bullock;
29:11 then shalt thou slay the bullock before Yahweh, -- at the opening of the tent of meeting:
29:12 and thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and place upon the horns of the altar, with thy finger, -- and all the remaining blood, shalt thou pour out at the foundation of the altar;
29:13 and thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inner part, and the caul upon the liver, and the two kidneys, with the fat which is upon them, and burn as incense on the altar:
29:14 but the flesh of the bullock and its skin, and its dung, shalt thou burn up with fire, outside the camp, -- a sin-bearer, it is.
29:15 One ram also, shalt thou take, and Aaron and his sons shall lean their hands, upon the head of the ram;
29:16 then shalt thou slay the ram, -- and take its blood, and dash upon the altar round about;
29:17 but the ram itself, shalt thou cut up into its pieces, -- and shalt bathe its inner part, and its legs, and lay upon its pieces and upon its head;
29:18 and shalt burn the whole ram as incense on the altar, an ascending-sacrifice, it is to Yahweh, -- a satisfying odour, an altar-flame to Yahweh, it is.
29:19 Then shalt thou take the second ram, -- and Aaron and his sons shall lean their hands upon the head of the ram;
29:20 then shalt thou slay the ram, and take of its blood, and place upon the tip of the ear of Aaron and upon the tip of the ear of his sons -- the right ear, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, -- and shalt dash the blood upon the altar round about.
29:21 Then shalt thou take of the blood that is upon the altar and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle upon Aaron and upon his garments, and upon his sons and upon the garments of his sons with him, -- so shall he be hallowed -- he, and his garments, and his sons and the garments of his sons, with him.
29:22 Then shalt thou take from the ram -- the fat and the fat-tail and the fat that covereth the inner part and the caul of the liver and the two kidneys with the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder, -- for, a ram of installation, it is, --
29:23 and one round-cake of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, -- out of the basket of unleavened cakes, which is before Yahweh;
29:24 and shalt lay the whole upon the trends of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, -- then shalt thou wave them to and fro as a wave-offering, before Yahweh;
29:25 and shalt take them from their hand, and burn them as incense on the altar upon the ascending-sacrifice, -- as a satisfying odour, before Yahweh, an altar-flame, it is to Yahweh.
29:26 Then shalt thou take the breast from the ram of installation which is for Aaron, and shalt wave it as a wave-offering, before Yahweh, -- so shall it be thy share,
29:27 And thou shalt hallow the breast of the wave-offering, and the shoulder of the heave-offering, which is waved to and fro, and which is heaved up, from the ram of installation, from that which is for Aaron, and from that which is for his sons;
29:28 so shall it belong to Aaron and to his sons for an age-abiding statute from the sons of Israel, for a heave-offering, it is, -- and, a heave-offering, shall it remain, from the sons of Israel out of their peace-offerings, their heave-offering to Yahweh.
29:29 And, the holy garments which belong to Aaron, shall belong to his sons, after him,-to be anointed therein, and to he installed therein,
29:30 Seven days, shall they be put on by him from among his sons who is priest in his stead, -- by him who goeth into the tent of meeting, to minister in the holy place.
29:31 And, the ram of installation, shalt thou take, -- and shalt boil its flesh, in a holy place;
29:32 and Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, -- at the opening of the tent of meeting:
29:33 thus shall they eat those things wherewith a propitiatory-covering hath been made, to install them, to hallow them, but, a stranger, shall not eat, for holy, they are.
29:34 And, if there be left over of the flesh of installation, or of the bread until the morning, then shalt thou burn up what is left over, in the fire, it shall not be eaten for holy, it is.
29:35 So then thou shalt do for Aaron and for his sons, in this manner, according to all which I have commanded, thee, -- seven days, shalt thou install them.
29:36 And a sin-bearing bullock, shalt thou offer daily, for them who are to be covered by propitiation, and shalt make a sin-cleansing for the altar, when thou puttest a propitiatory-covering thereon, -- and shalt anoint it to hallow it.
29:37 Seven days, shalt thou put a propitiatory-covering over the altar, and so shalt hallow it, thus shall the altar become most holy; whosoever toucheth the altar, must be holy.
29:38 This, moreover, is what thou shalt offer upon the altar, two lambs of a year old day by day, continually:
29:39 The one lamb, shalt thou offer in the morning, and the second lamb, shalt thou offer between the evenings;
29:40 and a tenth part of fine meal mingled with a fourth part of the hin of beaten oil, and, as a drink-offering, a fourth part of the hin of wine, -- with the one lamb.
29:41 And the second lamb, shalt thou offer between the evenings,-according to the meal-offering of the morning, and according to the drink-offering thereof, shalt thou offer with it, for a satisfying odour, an altar-flame, to Yahweh:
29:42 a continual ascending-sacrifice to your generations, at the opening of the tent of meeting, before Yahweh, where will meet with you, to speak unto thee there.
29:43 So will I meet there with the sons of Israel, and it shall be hallowed by my glory.
29:44 Thus will I hallow the tent of meeting, and the altar, -- and, Aaron and his sons, will I hallow, to minister as priests unto me.
29:45 Thus will I make my habitation in the midst of the sons of Israel, and will be their God;
29:46 and they shall know that, I -- Yahweh, am their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt that I might make my habitation in their midst, I -- Yahweh, their God.


[Exodus 30]
30:1 And thou shalt make an altar, for burning incense, of acacia wood, shalt thou make it:
30:2 a cubit, the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof four square, shall it be, -- and two cubits, the height thereof, of the same, [shall be] the horns thereof,
30:3 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof,-and thou shalt make to it a border of gold round about.
30:4 And, two rings of gold, shalt thou make to it, under the border thereof upon the two corners thereof, shalt thou make them on the two sides thereof, -- so shall they become receptacles for the staves, to lift it therewith.
30:5 And thou shalt make the staves of acacia wood, -- and overlay them with gold.
30:6 And thou shalt place it before the veil, which is by the ark of the testimony, -- before the propitiatory which is upon the testimony, where I will meet thee.
30:7 And Aaron shall burn thereon fragrant incense, -- morning by morning, when he trimmeth the lamps, shall he burn it;
30:8 and, when Aaron lighteth the lamps, between the evenings, shall he burn it, -- a continual incense before Yahweh, to your generations.
30:9 Ye shall not cause to ascend thereupon strange incense, nor an ascending-sacrifice, nor a meal-offering, -- and a drink offering, shall ye not pour out thereupon.
30:10 But Aaron shall put a propitiatory-covering upon the horns thereof, once in the year: of the blood of the sin-bearer for propitiatory-coverings, once in the year, shall he put a propitiatory-covering thereupon to your generations, most holy, it is to Yahweh.
30:11 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying --
30:12 When thou takest the sum of the sons of Israel, by their numberings, then shall they give every man a propitiatory-covering for his soul to Yahweh, when they are numbered, -- that there may be among them no plague when they are numbered.
30:13 This, shall they give -- every one that passeth over to them that have been numbered -- a half-shekel by the shekel of the sanctuary, -- the shekel is twenty gerahs -- the half-shekel, shalt be a heave-offering to Yahweh.
30:14 All who pass over to the numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, shall give the heave-offering of Yahweh.
30:15 The rich, shall not give more, and the poor, shall not give less, than the half-shekel, -- when they give the heave-offering of Yahweh, to put a propitiatory-covering over your souls.
30:16 So then thou shalt take the silver for the propitiatory-coverings from the sons of Israel, and shalt expend it upon the service of the tent of meeting, -- thus shall it be for the sons of Israel as a memorial before Yahweh, to put a propitiatory-covering over your souls.
30:17 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying --
30:18 And thou shalt make a laver of bronze, and its stand of bronze for bathing, -- and thou shalt place it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put therein water.
30:19 So shall Aaron and his sons bathe thereat, -- their hands, and their feet.
30:20 When they enter the tent of meeting, they shall bathe with water so shall they not die, -- or when they approach unto the altar to minister, to burn as incense an altar-flame to Yahweh:
30:21 so then they shall bathe their hands and their feet and shall not die, -- and it shall be to them an age-abiding statute, to him and to his seed to their generations.
30:22 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying --
30:23 Thou, therefore, take to thee -- principal spices, -- self-flowing myrrh, five hundred, and fragrant cinnamon, half as much, two hundred and fifty, and, fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;
30:24 and, cassia, five hundred, by the shekel of the sanctuary, -- and, oil olive, a hin.
30:25 And thou shalt make it an oil for holy anointing, a compounded perfume the work of a perfumer, -- an oil for holy anointing, shall it be.
30:26 And thou shalt anoint therewith the tent of meeting, -- and the ark of the testimony;
30:27 and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand, and its utensils, -- and the incense altar,
30:28 and the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, and all its utensils,-and the laver, and its stand.
30:29 So shalt thou hallow them, and they shall be most holy, -- whosoever toucheth them, shall be holy.
30:30 Aaron also, and his sons, shalt thou anoint, -- so shalt thou hallow them to minister as priests unto me.
30:31 And unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak, saying, An oil for holy anointing, shall this be to me, to your generations.
30:32 Upon the flesh of a common man, shall it not be poured, and according to the proportions thereof, shall ye not make any like it, -- holy, it is, holy, shall it be to you.
30:33 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, and whosoever bestoweth thereof upon a stranger, shall he out off from among his people.
30:34 Then said Yahweh unto Moses -- Take to thee aromatic spices stacte and onycha, and galbanum, -- aromatic spices, and pure frankincense, -- weight for weight, shall it be.
30:35 And thou shalt make of it an incense, a perfume the work of a perfumer, -- salted, pure, holy.
30:36 And thou shalt beat some of it to powder, and place thereof before the testimony, in the tong of meeting, where I am to meet with thee, -- most holy, shall it be to you.
30:37 And the incense which thou shalt make, according to the proportions thereof, ye shall not make for yourselves, -- holy, shall it be to thee, to Yahweh.
30:38 Whosoever shall make like it, to smell of it shall be cut off from among his people.


[Exodus 31]
31:1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
31:2 See, I have called by name, Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur of the tribe of Judah;
31:3 and have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and in understanding, and in knowledge and in all manner of workmanship;
31:4 to devise skilful designs, to work in gold and in silver, and in bronze;
31:5 and in the cutting of stones for setting, and in the carving of wood, -- to work in all manner of workmanship,
31:6 I myself, therefore, lo! I have given with him Oholiab, son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, and in the heart of every one that is wise-hearted, have I put wisdom, -- so shall they make all that I have commanded thee --
31:7 the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony; and the propitiatory which is thereupon, and all the utensils of the tent;
31:8 and the table, and its utensils, and the pure lampstand, and all its utensils, -- and the incense altar;
31:9 and the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, and all its utensils, and the laver, and its stand;
31:10 and thee cloths of variegated stuff, and the holy garments, for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for ministering as priests;
31:11 and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the holy place, according to all which I have commanded thee, shall they do.
31:12 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses saying --
31:13 Thou thyself, therefore, speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Surely, my sabbaths, shall ye keep, for, a sign it is betwixt me and you to your generations, that ye may know that I Yahweh do hallow you.
31:14 Therefore shall ye keep the sabbath, for holy, it is unto you, he that profaneth it shall be surely put to death; verily whosoever doeth therein any work that souls shall be cut off from the midst of its people:
31:15 Six days, shall work be done, but on the seventh day, is a holy sabbath-keeping of rest unto Yahweh, -- whosoever doeth work on the sabbath day, shall be, surely put to death.
31:16 Therefore shall the sons of Israel keep the sabbath, -- by making it a Day of Rest to your generations, as an age-abiding covenant:
31:17 between me and the sons of Israel, a sign it is unto times age-abiding, -- for in six days, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day, he rested, and was refreshed.
31:18 Then gave he unto Moses, as he finished speaking with him in Mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, -- tables of stone, written with the finger of God,


[Exodus 32]
32:1 And, when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him -- Up, make for us gods, who shall go before us, for, as for this Moses -- the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him.
32:2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the rings of gold, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons and of your daughters, -- and bring them unto me.
32:3 And all the people of themselves brake off the rings of gold which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
32:4 And he received [the gold] at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf, and they said -- These, are thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up, out of the land of Egypt.
32:5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made proclamation, and said, A festival to Yahweh, to-morrow!
32:6 So they rose up early, on the morrow, and offered ascending-sacrifices, and brought near peace-offerings, and the people sat down, to eat and to drink, and then rose up -- to make sport!
32:7 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses -- Go get thee down, for thy people whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves.
32:8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them, they have made for themselves -- a molten calf, and have bowed themselves down thereto mad have sacrificed thereto, and have said. These, are thy gods, O Israel, who have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
32:9 So then Yahweh said unto Moses, -- I have looked on this people, and lo! a stiff-necked people, it is.
32:10 Now, therefore, let me alone, that mine anger may kindle upon them and that I may consume them, and may make of thee
32:11 And Moses besought the face of Yahweh his God, -- and said -- Wherefore, O Yahweh, should thine anger kindle upon thy people, whom thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great might and with a firm hand?
32:12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak saying -- For mischief, hath he taken them forth to slay them among the mountains, and to make an end of them from off the face of the ground? Turn thou from the kindling of thine anger, and be grieved over the calamity to thy people,
32:13 Have remembrance of Abraham, of Isaac and of Israel thy servants to whom thou didst swear by thyself, and didst speak unto them saying, I will multiply your seed, as the stars of the heavens, -- and, all this land of which I have spoken, will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit it to times age-abiding.
32:14 So then Yahweh was grieved, -- over the calamity -- which he had spoken of inflicting on his people.
32:15 And Moses turned and went down out of the mount, with the two tables of testimony in his hand, -- tables written upon on both sides of them, on this and on that, were they written.
32:16 Now as for, the tables, the work of God, they were, -- and, as for the writing, the writing of God, it was, graven upon the tables.
32:17 And Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, -- so he said unto Moses -- The noise of war, in the camp!
32:18 But he said -- Not the noise of the cry of heroism, nor yet the noise of the cry of defeat, -- the noise of alternate song, do I hear.
32:19 And it came to pass when he drew near unto the camp, and saw the calf, and the dancings, that the anger of Moses kindled, and he cast out of his hands the tables, and brake them in pieces at the foot of the mountain.
32:20 Then took he the calf which they had made and burned it in the fire, and ground it till it became powder, and strewed it on the face of the waters, and made the sons of Israel drink.
32:21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What had this people done to thee, -- that thou shouldst have brought upon them a great sin?
32:22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord kindle, -- thou thyself, knowest the people, that ready for mischief, they are.
32:23 So they said to me -- Make for us gods, who shall go before us, -- for, as for this, Moses -- the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him.
32:24 And I said to them -- Whosoever hath gold let them break it off, So they gave it to me, -- and I cast it into the fire, and there came out -- this calf.
32:25 And Moses saw the people, that unbridled, they were, -- for Aaron had given them the rein, for a whispering, among their enemies.
32:26 So Moses took his stand in the gate of the camp, and said -- Who is for Yahweh? ...To me! Then gathered unto him all the sons of Levi,
32:27 And he said to them -- Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, -- pass through and return from gate to gate in the camp, and slay ye every man his brother and every man his friend and every man his neighbour.
32:28 So the sons of Levi did, according to the word of Moses, -- and there fell from among the people on that day, about three thousand men.
32:29 And Moses said -- Install yourselves to-day, unto Yahweh, yea every man for his son and for his brother, -- so will he bestow upon you to-day, a blessing.
32:30 And it came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye, have sinned a great sin, -- Now, therefore, I must go up unto Yahweh, Peradventure, I may make a propitiatory-covering for your sin.
32:31 So Moses returned unto Yahweh, and said, -- Oh now, this people hath sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves -- gods of gold.
32:32 Now, therefore, if thou wilt forgive their sin, ...but if not, blot me I pray thee out of thy book, which thou hast written,
32:33 And Yahweh said unto Moses, -- Him who hath sinned against me, must I blot out of my book.
32:34 Now, therefore, go lead the people to the place of which I spake to thee, lo! a my messenger, shall go before thee, -- But, in the day when I do visit, then wilt I visit upon them their sin.
32:35 And Yahweh plagued the people, -- for what they had done with the calf, which Aaron made.


[Exodus 33]
33:1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses -- Get thee away, go up from hence, thou, and the people whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, -- into the land of which I sware to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed, will I give it;
33:2 And I will send before thee a messenger,-and will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite;
33:3 into a land flowing with milk and honey, -- for I will not go up in thy midst in that a stiff-necked people, thou art, lest I consume thee in the way.
33:4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they afflicted themselves, -- and they put not, any man, his ornaments upon him.
33:5 Then said Yahweh unto Moses -- Say unto the sons of Israel, Ye, are a stiff-necked people, in one moment -- if I should go up in thy midst, should I make an end of thee, -- Now, therefore lay down thine ornaments from off thee, that I may see what I must do with thee.
33:6 So then the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, [and moved on] from Mount Horeb.
33:7 And, Moses, proceeded to take a tent, and pitch it by itself outside the camp, afar off from the camp, and he called it, The Tent of Meeting, -- and so it came to pass that whosoever was seeking Yahweh went out unto the tent of meeting, which was on the outside of the camp.
33:8 And it came about, that, when Moses went out unto the tent, all the people used to rise up, and station themselves every man at the opening of his tent, -- and they watched Moses, until he entered the tent.
33:9 And it came to pass that when Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud came down, and stood at the opening of the tent, -- and spake with Moses.
33:10 And when all the people beheld the pillar of cloud, standing at the opening of the tent, then all the people rose up and bowed themselves down, every man at the entrance of his tent.
33:11 Thus Yahweh used to speak unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend, -- and when he returned unto the camp, his attendant Joshua son of Nun, a young man, moved not from the midst of the tent.
33:12 Then said Moses, unto Yahweh, See! thou art saying unto me -- Take up this people, and yet thou hast no let me know whom thou wilt send with me, -- though thou thyself, didst say -- I acknowledge thee by name, Yea, moreover, thou hast found favour in mine eyes.
33:13 Now, therefore, if, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, let me know, I beseech thee, thy way, that I may acknowledge thee, to the intent I may find favour in thine eyes, -- see thou, therefore, that this nation is thine own people.
33:14 So then he said, -- Mine own presence, shall go on thus will I give thee rest.
33:15 And he said unto him, If thy presence is not going on, do not take us up from hence.
33:16 Whereby, indeed, shall it be known then that I have found favour in thine eyes, I, and thy people? Shall it not be, by thy going on with us? So shall we be more distinguished, I, and thy people, than any people that are on the face of the ground.
33:17 Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Even this thing, which thou hast spoken, will I do -- For thou hast found favour in mine eyes, And I have acknowledged thee by name.
33:18 And he said, -- Show me, I pray thee, thy glory.
33:19 And he said, -- I, will cause all my goodness to pass before thee. And will proclaim myself by the name Yahweh, before thee, And will show favour, unto whom I may show favour, And will have compassion on whom I may have compassion.
33:20 But be said -- Thou canst not see my face, For no son of earth can see me, and life
33:21 And Yahweh, said, Lo! a place near me, -- So then thou shalt station thyself upon the rock:
33:22 And it shall be while my glory passeth by, I will put thee in the cleft of the rock, -- and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
33:23 Then will I take away my hand, and thou shalt see behind me, But, my face, must not be seen.


[Exodus 34]
34:1 And Yahweh said unto Moses -- Hew thee two tables of stone, like the first, -- and I will write upon the tables the words which were upon the first tables which thou didst break in pieces;
34:2 and be thou ready by the morning, -- and thou shalt come up. in the morning, into Mount Sinai; then shalt thou station thyself for me there upon the top of the mount;
34:3 and, no man, may come up with thee, and let no man so much as be seen in all the mount, -- and let not even the flocks or the herds, feed in front of that mountain.
34:4 So he hewed two tables of stone like the first and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up into Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, -- and took in his hand two tables of stone.
34:5 And Yahweh descended in the cloud, and took his station with him there, -- and proclaimed himself by the name Yahweh.
34:6 So Yahweh passed before him, and proclaimed, -- Yahweh, Yahweh, A God of compassion and favour, -- Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and faithfulness:
34:7 Keeping lovingkindness to a thousand generations, Forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, Though he leave not, utterly unpunished, Visiting the iniquity of fathers, Upon sons, And upon sons' sons, Unto a third and unto a fourth generation.
34:8 Then Moses made haste, -- and bent his head towards the earth and bowed himself down;
34:9 and said -- If, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, O My Lord, I pray thee let My Lord go on in our midst, -- although a stiff-necked people, it is, so wilt thou pardon our iniquity and our sin and take us as thine own.
34:10 And he said -- Lo! I, am about to solemnise a covenant,-in presence of all thy people, will I do marvellous things, which have not been created in any part of the earth nor among any of the nations, -- so shall all the people in whose midst thou, art see the work of Yahweh for a fearful thing, it is, which I, am doing with thee.
34:11 Take thou heed what, I, am commanding thee this day, -- behold me! driving out from before thee -- the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
34:12 Take heed to thyself, Lest thou solemnise a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, whereupon, thou, art about to enter, -- Lest he become a snare in thy midst;
34:13 For their altars, shall ye smash, And their pillars, shall ye shiver, -- And their sacred-stems, shall ye fell.
34:14 For thou shalt not bow thyself down to another GOD, -- For as for Yahweh, Jealous, is his name, A jealous GOD, he is:
34:15 Lest thou solemnise a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, -- And then as surely as they go unchastely after their gods and sacrifice to their gods, So surely will he invite thee, And thou wilt eat of his sacrifice;
34:16 And thou wilt take of his daughters for thy sons, -- And his daughters will go unchastely after their gods, And will cause thy sons to go unchastely after their gods.
34:17 Molten gods, shalt thou not make to thee.
34:18 The festival of unleavened cakes, shalt thou keep, seven days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes, which I commanded thee, at the set time, in the month Abib, -- for in the month Abib, camest thou forth out of Egypt.
34:19 Every one that is the first to be born, is mine, -- and every one of thy cattle that is born a male, firstling of oxen or sheep.
34:20 But the firstling of an ass, thou mayst redeem with a lamb, and if thou wilt not redeem it, then shalt thou break its neck. Every firstborn of thy sons, shalt thou redeem, and he must not see my face, with empty hand.
34:21 Six days, shalt thou labour, but on the seventh day, shalt thou rest, -- in plowing time and in harvest, shalt thou rest.
34:22 And the festival of weeks, shalt thou make to thee, the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, -- and the festival of ingathering, at the closing in of the year:
34:23 three times in the year, shall every one of thy males see the face of the Lord Yahweh the God of Israel.
34:24 For I will root out nations from before thee, and will enlarge thy borders, -- and no man shall covet thy land, when thou goes up to see the face of Yahweh thy God, three times in the year.
34:25 Thou shalt not slay, along with anything leavened, the blood of my sacrifice, -- neither shall remain to the morning, the sacrifice of the festival of the passover.
34:26 The beginning of the firstfruits of thy ground, shalt thou bring into the house of Yahweh, thy God, Thou shalt not boil a kid, in the milk of its dam.
34:27 And Yahweh said unto Moses, Write for thyself these words, for according to the tenor of these words, have I solemnized with thee, a covenant, and with Israel.
34:28 So then he was there, with Yahweh, forty days and forty nights, bread, did he not eat and, water, did he not drink, and he wrote upon the tables, the words of the covenant, the ten words.
34:29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down out of Mount Sinai, with the two tables of testimony in the hand of Moses, when he came down out of the mount, that, Moses, knew not that the skin of his face shone, through his having spoken with him.
34:30 And Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, and lo! the skin of his face shone, and they stood in awe of drawing nigh unto him.
34:31 So then Moses called unto them, and Aaron and all the princes in the assembly returned unto him, -- and Moses spake unto them.
34:32 And afterwards, came nigh, all the sons of Israel, and he gave them in commandment all that Yahweh had spoken with him in Mount Sinai.
34:33 And when Moses had made an end of speaking with them, he put over his face a veil:
34:34 but, as often as Moses went in before Yahweh to speak with him, be put aside the veil until he came out, -- and, as often as he came out and spake unto the sons of Israel, that which he had been commanded,
34:35 the sons of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses face shone, -- so Moses again put the veil over his face, until he went in to speak with him.


[Exodus 35]
35:1 And Moses called together all the assembly of the sons of Israel and said unto them, -- These are the things which Yahweh hath commanded to do them.
35:2 Six days, shall work be done, but on the seventh day, shall there be to you a holy sabbath-keeping, unto Yahweh, whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.
35:3 Ye shall not kindle a fire, in any of your dwellings, -- on the sabbath day.
35:4 And Moses spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, saying, This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded, saying,
35:5 Take ye from among you, a heave-offering to Yahweh, every one whose heart is willing shall bring it in, even the heave-offering of Yahweh, gold and silver and bronze:
35:6 and blue and purple and crimson and fine linen and goat's-hair;
35:7 and rams' skins dyed red, and badgers skins, and acacia wood;
35:8 and oil for giving light, and aromatic spices for the anointing oil, and for fragrant incense;
35:9 and onyx stones and setting stones, for the ephod, and for the breastpiece.
35:10 And, all the wise-hearted among you, shall come in, that they may make, all that which Yahweh hath commanded: --
35:11 the habitation, its tent, and its covering, -- its clasps its boards, and its bars its pillars, and its sockets:
35:12 the ark with its staves the propitiatory, and the screening veil;
35:13 the table with its staves and all its utensils, and the Presence-bread:
35:14 the lampstand for giving light, with its utensils, and its lamps, and the oil for giving light;
35:15 and the incense altar, with its staves, and the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense, -- and the entrance screen, for the entrance of the habitation;
35:16 the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, and the bronze grating which pertaineth thereto, its stoves and all its utensils, the laver and its stand;
35:17 the hangings for the court, its pillars and its sockets, -- and the screen for the gate of the court:
35:18 the pins of the habitation, and the pins of the court, and their cords;
35:19 the cloths of variegated stuff for ministering in the sanctuary, -- the sacred garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons for ministering as priests.
35:20 So all the assembly of the sons of Israel went forth from the presence of Moses;
35:21 and they brought in -- every man whose heart lifted him up, -- and, every one whose spirit made him willing, brought in the heave-offering of Yahweh, for the construction of the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments.
35:22 Yea they brought in -- the men with the women, -- all who were willing-hearted, brought in -- bracelets and nose-ornaments and rings, and buckles, all manner of jewels of gold, even every man who waved a wave-offering of gold unto Yahweh.
35:23 And, every man with whom was found blue and purple and crimson and fine linen and goats-hair, -- and rams' skins dyed red and badgers skins brought them in.
35:24 Every one who would heave a heave-offering of silver or bronze, brought in the heave-offering of Yahweh, -- and, every one with whom was found acacia wood for any construction for the service, brought it in.
35:25 And, all the women who were wise-hearted, with their hands, did spin, -- and brought in that which they had spun -- the blue, and the purple, the crimson, and the fine linen.
35:26 And, all the women whose hearts lifted them up with wisdom, span the goats-hair.
35:27 And the princes, brought in the onyx stones and the setting stones, -- for the ephod and for the breastpiece;
35:28 and the aromatic spices, and the oil, -- for giving light, and for anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.
35:29 [In the case of], every male and woman whose heart, made them willing, to bring in for any construction which, Yahweh had commanded them to make, by the hand of Moses, [in their case] did the sons of Israel bring in a free-will offering unto Yahweh.
35:30 And Moses said unto the sons of Israel -- See! Yahweh hath called by name, -- Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
35:31 and filled him with the spirit of God, -- in, wisdom in understanding and in knowledge, and in all manner of execution;
35:32 to devise skilful designs, -- to work in gold and in silver and in bronze;
35:33 and in the cutting of stones for setting, and in the cutting of wood, -- to work in any manner of skilful workmanship,
35:34 To teach also, hath be put in his heart, [the heart of] him, and of Oholiab -- son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan;
35:35 hath filled them with wisdom of heart to work all manner of workmanship of cutter, and deviser and embroiderer, in blue and in purple, in crimson and in fine linen and of the weaver, -- workers of any manner of workmanship, and devisers of skilful designs.


[Exodus 36]
36:1 Thus shall Bezaleel and Oholiab work, and every man that is wise-hearted, in whom Yahweh hath put wisdom and understanding, to know how to work any manner of workmanship for the holy service, -- according to all that Yahweh hath commanded.
36:2 So then Moses called upon Bezaleel, and upon Oholiab, and upon every man that was wise-hearted, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, -- every one whose heart lifted him up, to draw near unto the work, to do it.
36:3 And they took, from the presence of Moses, all the heave-offering which the sons of Israel had brought in for the work of the holy service to do it, -- howbeit, they, brought in unto him yet more free-will offerings, meriting by morning.
36:4 Then came in all the wise men who were doing all the holy work, -- man by man from his work which, they, were doing;
36:5 and spake unto Moses, saying, More than enough, are the people bringing in, -- [more] than is needed for the service pertaining to the work; which Yahweh hath commanded to be done.
36:6 So Moses gave commandment and they passed a proclamation throughout the camp, saying, Let, neither man nor woman, make any more material for the holy heave-offering. So the people were restrained from bringing in.
36:7 For the material was enough for all the work, to make it, -- and to spare.
36:8 Then did all the wise-hearted among the workers of the material make the habitation of ten curtains, of fine-twined linen, and blue and purple and crimson, with cherubim the work of the skilful weaver, did he make them.
36:9 The length of each curtain, was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four cubits, for each curtain, -- one measure, had all the curtains.
36:10 And he joined the [first] five curtains, one to another, -- and the [other] five curtains, joined he one to another,
36:11 And he made loops of blue upon the border of the first curtain, at the edge of the set, -- thus, made he in the border of the other curtain at the edge of the second set:
36:12 Fifty loops, made he in the first curtain, and fifty loops, made he in the edge of the curtain that was in the second set, -- the loops being, opposite, one to another.
36:13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, -- and joined the curtains one to another with the clasps, and so the habitation became, one.
36:14 And he made curtains of goats-hair, for the tent over the habitation, eleven curtains, did he make them:
36:15 the length of each curtain, was thirty cubits, and, four cubits, was the breath of each curtain, -- one measure, had the eleven curtains.
36:16 And he joined five of the curtains by themselves, -- and the six curtains, by themselves.
36:17 And he made fifty loops upon the border of the curtain that was outmost in the one set and fifty loops, made he upon the border of the curtain of the second set.
36:18 And he made fifty clasps of bronze, -- to join together the tent, that it might become one.
36:19 And he made a covering to the tent, of rams skins dyed red, -- and a covering of badgers skins, above.
36:20 And he made the boards for the habitation, of acacia wood, for standing up:
36:21 ten cubits, the length of each board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board:
36:22 two tenons to each board, united one to another, -- thus, made he for all the boards of the habitation.
36:23 And he made the boards for the habitation, twenty boards, for the south side southwards;
36:24 and, forty sockets of silver, made he, under the twenty boards, two sockets, under the first board, for its two tenons, and, two sockets, under the next board for its two tenons.
36:25 And for the second side of the habitation to the north quarter, made he twenty boards;
36:26 and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets, under the first board, and, two sockets, under the next board.
36:27 And, for the hinder part of the habitation westward, made he six boards;
36:28 and two boards, made he for the corners of the habitation, -- in the hinderpart.
36:29 Thus were they to be double beneath, and at the same time, should they be entire, at the top thereof, into each ring, thus, did he for them both, for the two corners.
36:30 Thus were there to be eight boards, and, their sockets of silver, were sixteen sockets, two sockets apiece under each board.
36:31 And he made bars of acacia wood, -- five, for the boards of the first side of the habitation,
36:32 and five bars, for the boards of the other side of the habitation, and, five bars, for the boards of the habitation at the hinderpart westward.
36:33 And he made the middle bar, -- to run along in the midst of the boards, from end to end.
36:34 And the boards, overlaid he with gold and their rings, made he of gold, as receptacles for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold.
36:35 And he made the veil, of blue and purple and crimson and fine-twined linen, -- of the work of a skilful weaver, made he it, with cherubim.
36:36 And he made for it four pillars of acacia, and overlaid them with gold their hooks of gold, and cast for them, four sockets of silver.
36:37 And he made a screen for the opening of the tent, of blue and purple and crimson and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;
36:38 and the five pillars thereof and their hooks, and he overlaid their capitals and their cross-rods, with gold, but, their five sockets, were of bronze.


[Exodus 37]
37:1 And Bezaleel made the ark, of acacia wood, two cubits and a half, the length thereof and, a cubit and a half, the breadth thereof, and, a cubit and a half, the height thereof;
37:2 and he overlaid it with pure gold within and without,-and made for it a rim of gold, round about;
37:3 and he cast for it four rings of gold, upon the four feet thereof, -- even, two rings, on the one side thereof and, two rings, on the other side thereof;
37:4 and he made staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold;
37:5 and he brought the staves into the rings, upon the sides of the ark, for lifting the ark.
37:6 And he made a propitiatory of pure gold, -- two cubits and a half, the length thereof, and, a cubit and a half, the breadth thereof:
37:7 and he made two cherubim, of gold, of beaten work, did he make them, out of the two ends of the propitiatory:
37:8 one cherub, out of this end, and, one cherub, out of that end, out of the propitiatory itself, made he the cherubim, out of the two ends thereof:
37:9 and the cherubim were spreading out their wings on high making a shelter with their wings over the propitiatory, with, their faces, one towards the other, towards the propitiatory, were the faces of the cherubim,
37:10 And he made the table of acacia wood, two cubits, the length thereof and, a cubit, the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof,
37:11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, -- and he made thereto a rim of gold round about:
37:12 and he mane thereto a border of a handbreadth, round about, and he made a rim of gold to the border thereof round about:
37:13 and he cast for it, four rings of gold, and placed the rings upon the four corners, which pertained to the four feet thereof:
37:14 near to the border, were the rings, as receptacles for the staves, for lifting the table;
37:15 and he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, -- for lifting the table;
37:16 and he made the utensils which were to be upon the table, its dishes and its pans and its bowls, and its basins for pouring out therewith, of pure gold.
37:17 And he made the lampstand, of pure gold, of beaten work, made he the lampstand, its base and its shafts, its cups, its apples and its blossoms were, of the same;
37:18 with, six branches coming out of its sides, -- three branches of the lampstand out of its one side and three branches of the lampstand out of its other side:
37:19 three cups like almond-flowers in the one branch -- apple and blossom, and, three cups like almond-flowers, in the next branch, apple and blossom, so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand;
37:20 and in the lampstand itself, four cups, like almond-flowers, its apples and its blossoms:
37:21 with, an apple, under the two branches of the same, and, an apple, under the next two branches of the same, and, an apple, under the next two branches of the same, for the six branches coming out of the same:
37:22 their apples and their brunches were of the same, all of it one beaten work, of pure gold.
37:23 And he made the lamps thereof seven, -- with its snuffers and its snuff-trays, of pure gold.
37:24 Of a talent of pure gold, made he it, -- and all the utensils thereof.
37:25 And he made the incense altar, of acacia wood, -- a cubit, the length thereof, and, a cubit, the breadth thereof, foursquare, and two cubits the height thereof, of the same, were the horns thereof.
37:26 And he overlaid it with pure gold -- the top thereof and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof,-and he made thereto a rim of gold, round about.
37:27 And two rings of gold, made he thereto -- beneath the rim thereof, upon the two corners thereof, upon the two sides thereof, -- as receptacles for the staves, to lift it therewith.
37:28 And he made the staves of acacia wood, -- and overlaid them with gold.
37:29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure fragrant incense, -- the work of a perfumer.


[Exodus 38]
38:1 And he made the altar for the ascending-sacrifice of acacia wood, -- five cubits, the length thereof and, five cubits, the breadth thereof foursquare, and, three cubits, the height thereof.
38:2 And he made the horns thereof, upon the four corners thereof, of the same, were the horns thereof, -- and he overlaid it with bronze.
38:3 And he made all the utensils of the altar -- the pans and the shovels, and the sprinkling bowls, the flesh-hooks and the fire-pans, -- all the utensils thereof, made he of bronze.
38:4 And he made to the altar a grating, of network of bronze, -- under the margin thereof beneath as far as the midst thereof.
38:5 And he cast four rings in the four corners to the grating of bronze, -- as receptacles for the staves,
38:6 And he made the staves of acacia wood, -- and overlaid them with bronze.
38:7 And he brought the staves into the rings, upon the sides of the altar, to lift it therewith, -- hollow with boards, did he make it.
38:8 And he made the laver of bronze, and the stand thereof of bronze, -- with the mirrors of the female hosts who did service at the opening of the tent of meeting.
38:9 And he made the court, -- on the south side southward, the hangings of the court of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits;
38:10 their pillars, twenty, and their sockets twenty, of bronze, -- the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods, of silver:
38:11 and, on the north side, a hundred cubits, their pillars, twenty, and, their sockets twenty, of bronze, -- the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods, of silver.
38:12 And on the west side, hangings, fifty cubits, their pillars, ten, and, their sockets, ten, -- and, the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods, of silver.
38:13 And on the east side towards the dawn, fifty cubits:
38:14 hangings, fifteen cubits, for the side-piece, -- their pillars, three, and, their sockets three;
38:15 and, for the second sidepiece on this side and on that of the gate of the court, hangings, fifteen cubits, -- their pillars three, and their sockets, three.
38:16 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.
38:17 And, the sockets for the pillars, were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver, -- and the overlaying of their capitals, was silver, -- and, they themselves, were filleted with silver, even all the pillars of the court,
38:18 And, the screen of the gate of the court was the work of an embroiderer, blue and purple and crimson, and fine-twined linen, -- and, twenty cubits, in length, and the height, according to the breadth, of five cubits, to match the curtains of the court;
38:19 and, their pillars, were four, and, their sockets, four, of bronze, -- their hooks, of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their connecting-rods, of silver.
38:20 And, all the pins for the habitation, and for the court round about, of bronze.
38:21 These, are the details of the habitation -- the habitation of testimony, which were detailed at the bidding of Moses, -- the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.
38:22 So then Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Yahweh had commanded Moses.
38:23 And, with him, was Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an artificer and skilful weaver, -- and an embroiderer -- in blue, and in purple and in crimson and in fine linen.

38:25 And, the silver of them who were numbered of the assembly, was one hundred talents, -- and one thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five shekels by the shekel of the sanctuary;
38:26 a bekah per head, that is a half shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary, for all that passed over to them who had been numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, for six hundred and three thousand, and five hundred and fifty.
38:27 And it came to pass that the hundred talents of silver were used for casting the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil, -- one hundred sockets with the hundred talents a talent for a socket.
38:28 And with the thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five, made the hooks for the pillars, -- and overlaid their capitals and united them with connecting-rods.
38:29 And the bronze of the wave-offering, was seventy talents, -- and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
38:30 And he made therewith, the sockets for the opening of the tent of meeting, and the altar of bronze and the grating of bronze which pertained thereto, -- and all the utensils of the altar,
38:31 and the sockets for the court round about, and the sockets for the gate of the court, -- and all the pins for the habitation and all the pins for the court round about.


[Exodus 39]
39:1 And of the blue and the purple, and the crimson, made they cloths of variegated stuff for ministering in the sanctuary, -- and they made the holy garments which were for Aaron, -- As Yahweh commanded Moses.
39:2 So he made the ephod, -- of gold, blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine twined linen,
39:3 And they did beat out the plates of gold and he proceeded to cut them into threads, to work into the midst of the blue and into the midst of the purple and into the midst of the crimson, and into the midst of the fine linen, -- with the work of a skilful weaver.
39:4 Shoulder-pieces, made they thereto, for joining, -- at its two edges, was it joined.
39:5 And as for the curious fastening girdle which was thereon, of the same, it was according to the working thereof, gold blue, and purple, and crimson and fine twined linen, -- As Yahweh commanded Moses.
39:6 And they wrought the onyx stones, enclosed in ouches of gold, -- graven with the engravings of a seal-ring, after the names of the sons of Israel.
39:7 And he put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, -- As Yahweh commanded Moses.
39:8 And he made the breastpiece the work of a skilful weaver like the work of the ephod, -- of gold blue and purple and crimson, and fine twined linen.
39:9 Foursquare, it was doubled, made they the breastpiece, -- a span, was the length thereof, and, a span, the breadth thereof, doubled.
39:10 And they set therein four rows of stones, -- one row sardius, a topaz and an emerald, the first row;
39:11 and the second row, -- a carbuncle a sapphire, and a diamond;
39:12 and the third row, -- an opal an agate and an amethyst;
39:13 and the fourth row, a Tarshish stone, a sardonyx, and a jasper, -- enclosed in ouches of gold, when they were set
39:14 And as for the stones, after the names of the sons of Israel, they were twelve, after their names, -- with the engravings of a seal-ring, each one, after his name, for the twelve tribes,
39:15 And they made, upon the breastpiece, chains like cords of wreathen work, -- of pure gold.
39:16 And they made two ouches of gold, and two rings of gold, -- and they placed the two rings upon the two ends of the breastpiece;
39:17 and they placed the two wreathen chains of gold upon the two rings,-upon the ends of the breastpiece;
39:18 and the other two ends of the two wreathen chains, placed they upon the two ouches, -- and placed them upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod in the forefront thereof.
39:19 And they made two rings of gold, and put on the two ends of the breastpiece, upon the border thereof, which is towards the ephod, inwards.
39:20 And they made two other rings of gold, and placed them upon the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod below on the front of the face thereof, to match the joining thereof. -- above the curious girdle of the ephod,
39:21 And they bound the breastpiece by the rings thereof into the rings of the ephod, with a cord of blue that it might remain upon the curious girdle of the ephod, and the breastpiece not be removed from upon the ephod, -- As Yahweh commanded Moses.
39:22 And he made the robe of the ephod, the work of a weaver, wholly of blue;
39:23 with the opening of the robe in the midst thereof, like the opening of a coat of mail, -- a border to the opening thereof round about it might not be rent open.
39:24 And they made upon the skirts of the robe, pomegranates -- of blue and purple and crimson, -- twined.
39:25 And they made bells of pure gold, and placed the bells in the midst of the pomegranates upon the skirts of the robe, roundabout, in the midst of the pomegranates:
39:26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe, round about, to minister in -- As Yahweh commanded Moses.
39:27 And they made the tunics of fine linen the work of a weaver, for Aaron and for his sons:
39:28 and the turban of fine linen, and the ornamental caps of fine linen, -- and the linen drawers, of fine twined linen:
39:29 and the girdle of fine twined liner, and blue and purple and crimson the work of an embroiderer, -- As Yahweh commanded Moses.
39:30 And they made the burnished plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote thereupon a writing, with the engravings of a seal-ring Holy unto Yahweh.
39:31 And they placed there, upon a cord of blue, to fasten it upon the turban up above, As Yahweh commanded Moses.
39:32 Thus was finished all the work of the habitation of the tent of meeting, -- thus did the sons of Israel, according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did they.
39:33 And they brought in the habitation unto Moses, the tent, and all its furniture, -- its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars and its sockets;
39:34 and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the screening veil;
39:35 the ark of the testimony, with its staves, -- and the propitiatory;
39:36 the table all its utensils, and the Presence-bread;
39:37 the pure lampstand the lamps thereof the lamps to be put in order, and all the utensils thereof, -- and the oil for giving light;
39:38 and the altar of gold, and the oil of anointing, and the fragrant incense, -- and the screen for the opening of the tent;
39:39 the altar of bronze and the grating of bronze which pertaineth thereto, the staves thereof, and all the utensils thereof, -- the laver, and its stand,
39:40 the hangings of the court its pillars and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court, its cords and its pins, -- and all the utensils for the service of the habitation for the tent of meeting;
39:41 them cloths of variegated stuff, for ministering in the sanctuary, -- the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons for ministering as priests.
39:42 According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did the sons of Israel make all the work.
39:43 And Moses looked upon all the structure and lo! they had made it, as Yahweh had commanded, so, had they made it, -- and Moses blessed them.


[Exodus 40]
40:1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying --
40:2 On the first day of the month, in the first month, shalt thou rear the habitation, of the tent of meeting;
40:3 and thou shalt put therein, the ark of the testimony, -- and shalt screen the ark with the veil;
40:4 and thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order what is to be arranged thereupon, -- and thou shalt bring in the lampstand, and mount the lamps thereof;
40:5 and thou shalt place the altar of gold for incense, before the ark of the testimony, -- and put up the screen for the opening of the habitation;
40:6 and thou shalt place the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, -- before the opening of the habitation of the tent of meeting;
40:7 and thou shalt place the laver between the tent of meeting, and the altar, and shalt put therein water,
40:8 And thou shalt put up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.
40:9 And thou shalt take the oil of anointing, and anoint the habitation and all that is therein, -- and shalt hallow it. and all the furniture thereof so shall it be holy.
40:10 And thou shalt anoint the altar of ascending sacrifice, and all its utensils, -- and hallow the altar, so shall the altar be most holy:
40:11 and thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, -- and shalt hallow it.
40:12 And thou shalt bring near Aaron and his sons, unto the opening of the teat of meeting, -- and shalt bathe them in the water;
40:13 and thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, -- and shalt anoint him and hallow him so shall he minister as priest unto me.
40:14 His sons also, shalt thou bring near, -- and shalt clothe them with tunics;
40:15 and shalt anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, and they shall minister as priests unto me, -- so shall their anointing remain to them for an age-abiding priesthood, to their generations.
40:16 And Moses did, -- according to all that Yahweh had commanded him, so did he.
40:17 Thus came it to pass, in the first month, in the second year, on the first of the month, that the habitation was reared.
40:18 Yea Moses reared the habitation, and placed its sockets, and fixed its boards, and fastened its bars, -- and reared its pillar
40:19 Then spread he abroad the tent upon the habitation, and put the covering of the tent upon it, above, -- As Yahweh commanded Moses.
40:20 And he took and placed the testimony within the ark, and put the staves upon the ark, -- and placed the propitiatory upon the ark, above;
40:21 and brought in the ark into the habitation, and put up the screening veil, and screened over the ark of the testimony, -- As Yahweh commanded Moses.
40:22 And he placed the table in the tent of meeting, -- on the side of the habitation northward, -- outside the veil;
40:23 and set in order thereupon the arrangement of bread before Yahweh, -- As Yahweh commanded Moses.
40:24 And he put the lampstand, in the tent of meeting, over against the table, -- on the side of the habitation southward;
40:25 and mounted the lamps before Yahweh, -- As Yahweh commanded Moses.
40:26 And he put the altar of gold in the tent of meeting, -- before the veil;
40:27 and burned thereupon the fragrant incense, -- As Yahweh commanded Moses.
40:28 And he put up the screen of the entrance pertaining to the habitation;
40:29 and, the altar of ascending-sacrifice, put he at the entrance of the habitation of the tent of meeting, -- and he caused to ascend thereupon the ascending-sacrifice, and the meal-offering, -- As Yahweh commanded Moses.
40:30 And he put the laver, between the tent of meeting, and the altar, -- and put therein water for bathing;
40:31 and Moses and Aaron and his sons thenceforth bathed thereat, -- their hands and their feet;
40:32 when they were entering into the tent of meeting, and when they were drawing near unto the altar, then used they to bathe, -- As Yahweh commanded Moses.
40:33 And he reared the court round about to the habitation and to the altar, and put up the screen of the gate of the court, -- and Moses finished the work.
40:34 Then did the cloud cover the tent of meeting, -- and, the glory of Yahweh, filled the habitation;
40:35 and Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud had made its habitation thereupon, -- and the glory of Yahweh, filled the habitation.
40:36 And whensoever the cloud ascended from off the habitation, then did the sons of Israel set forward, in all their journeyings;
40:37 but if the cloud did not ascend, then did they not set forward -- until the day when it did ascend.
40:38 For, the cloud of Yahweh, was upon the habitation by day, and, a fire, came to be by night therein, -- in the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeyings.
