Exo 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:––
Exo 1:2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
Exo 1:3 Issachar, Zebulon, and Benjamin;
Exo 1:4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
Exo 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.
Exo 1:6 So then Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
Exo 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.
Exo 1:8 ¶ Then arose a new king over Egypt,––who had not known Joseph.
Exo 1:9 So he said unto his people, Lo! the people of the sons of Israel, are too many and mighty for us!
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 1:13 And the Egyptians rigorously made the sons of Israel serve;
Exo 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.
Exo 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; ––
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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?
Exo 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 yet the midwife can come in unto them, they have given birth.
Exo 1:20 So then God dealt well with the midwives,––and the people multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty.
Exo 1:21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made for them households.
Exo 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.
Exo 2:1 ¶ And there went a man of the house of Levi,––and took a daughter of Levi.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 2:4 Then did his sister station herself at a distance,––to see what would be done to him.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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?
Exo 2:8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her––Go. So the maid went, and called the mother of the child.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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?
Exo 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!
Exo 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.
Exo 2:16 ¶ Now, the priest of Midian, had seven daughters,––and they came and drew, and filled the troughs, to water their fathers flock.
Exo 2:17 Then came the shepherds, and drave them away,––so Moses rose up, and succoured them, and watered their flock.
Exo 2:18 Then came they in, unto Reuel their father,––and he said, Wherefore have ye so early come in, today?
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 2:21 And Moses was well–pleased to dwell with the man,––and he gave Zipporah his daughter, to Moses.
Exo 2:22 And she bare a son, and he called his name, Gershom,––for he said, A, sojourner, I am, in a strange land.
Exo 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.
Exo 2:24 And God heard their groaning,––and God remembered his covenant, with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob;
Exo 2:25 so then, God looked upon the sons of Israel,––and God regarded.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 3:3 And Moses said, Let me turn aside, pray, and see this great sight,––why the thorn–bush, doth not burn up.
Exo 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!
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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?
Exo 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.
Exo 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?
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 3:16 ¶ Go––and thou shalt gather together the elders 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 3:19 But, I, know, that the king of Egypt will not suffer you to go,––not even by a firm hand.
Exo 3:20 So then I will put forth my hand, and smite Egypt, with all my wonders, which I will do in the midst thereof,––and, after that, he will send you forth.
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 4:2 And Yahweh said unto him––What is this in thy hand? And he said––A staff.
Exo 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.
Exo 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:––
Exo 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.
Exo 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,
Exo 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:
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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?
Exo 4:12 Now, therefore, go,––and, I, will be with thy mouth, so will I direct thee, what thou shalt speak.
Exo 4:13 And he said––Pardon, O My Lord! send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send––
Exo 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, can 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 4:17 And, this staff, take thou in thy hand,––wherewith thou shalt do the signs.
Exo 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 may see whether they are yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses: Go and prosper.
Exo 4:19 Then said Yahweh unto Moses in Midian, Go, return to Egypt,––for all the men are dead who were seeking thy life.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 4:22 Then shalt thou say unto Pharaoh,––Thus, saith Yahweh––My son––my firstborn, is Israel;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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!
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 4:29 So Moses and Aaron went their way,––and gathered together all the elders of the sons of Israel.
Exo 4:30 And Aaron spake all the words which Yahweh had spoken unto Moses,––and did the signs, before the eyes of the people.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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!
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 5:5 And Pharaoh said, Lo! many––now, are the people of the land,––and are ye to make them rest from their burdens?
Exo 5:6 So then Pharaoh gave command, on that day, unto the taskmasters over the people, and unto their overseers––saying:
Exo 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:
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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,
Exo 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.
Exo 5:12 So the people dispersed themselves throughout all the land of Egypt,––to gather stubble for straw:
Exo 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.
Exo 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, today?
Exo 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?
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 5:18 Now, therefore, go labour, but, straw, shall not be given you,––yet, the tale of bricks, shall ye render.
Exo 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!
Exo 5:20 So they fell upon Moses and upon Aaron, stationing themselves to meet them,––as they came forth from Pharaoh;
Exo 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.
Exo 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?
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 6:2 And God spake unto Moses,––and said unto him, I, am Yahweh:
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 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:
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 6:10 ¶ And Yahweh spake unto Moses––saying:
Exo 6:11 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt,––that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 6:17 The sons of Gershon, Libni and Shimei, by their families.
Exo 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.
Exo 6:19 And, the sons of Merari, Mahli and Mushi. These, are the families of the Levites, by their generations.
Exo 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.
Exo 6:21 And, the sons of Izhar, Korah and Nepheg, and Zichri.
Exo 6:22 And, the sons of Uzziel, Mishael and Elzaphan, and Sithri.
Exo 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.
Exo 6:24 And, the sons of Korah, Assir and Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These, are the families of the Korahites.
Exo 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.
Exo 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:
Exo 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.
Exo 6:28 Thus came it to pass, that, on a certain day, Yahweh spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt.
Exo 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.
Exo 6:30 And Moses said before Yahweh,––Lo! I, am of uncircumcised lips, how then will Pharaoh, hearken unto me?
Exo 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!
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 7:6 And Moses and Aaron did [so], ––as Yahweh commanded them, so, did they.
Exo 7:7 Now, Moses, was eighty years old, and, Aaron, eighty–three years old,––when they spake unto Pharaoh.
Exo 7:8 ¶ And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 7:12 yea they cast down each man his staff, and they became sea–serpents,––but Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staves.
Exo 7:13 Then waxed bold the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them,––as spake Yahweh.
Exo 7:14 ¶ Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Dull, is the heart of Pharaoh,––he hath refused to let the people go.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 7:23 Then Pharaoh, turned away, and entered into his house––neither applied he his heart, even to this.
Exo 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.
Exo 7:25 And seven days, were fulfilled,––after Yahweh had smitten the river.
Exo 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.
Exo 8:2 But, if thou art, refusing, to let them go, lo! I, am plaguing all thy boundaries with frogs;
Exo 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:
Exo 8:4 both against thee, and against thy people, and against all thy servants, shall come up the frogs.
Exo 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.
Exo 8:6 So Aaron stretched forth his hand, over the waters of Egypt,––and the frog came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
Exo 8:7 And the sacred scribes did in like manner, with their secret arts,––and brought up frogs, over the land of Egypt.
Exo 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 let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Yahweh.
Exo 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?
Exo 8:10 And he said––For tomorrow. And he said––According to thy word! that thou mayest know, that there is none like Yahweh, our God:
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 8:14 and they piled them up, heaps––heaps,––and the land became loathsome.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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:
Exo 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;
Exo 8:23 so will I put a separation betwixt my people and thy people. By tomorrow, shall come to pass this sign.
Exo 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.
Exo 8:25 Then did Pharaoh cry out––unto Moses and to Aaron,––and said––Go your way, sacrifice to your God, in the land.
Exo 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?
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 8:30 So Moses went out from Pharaoh,––and made entreaty unto Yahweh.
Exo 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.
Exo 8:32 And Pharaoh made his heart dull, this time also,––and did not let the people go.
Exo 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.
Exo 9:2 But, if, refusing, thou art to let them go,––and still art holding them fast,
Exo 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;
Exo 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!
Exo 9:5 And Yahweh appointed a set time––saying,––Tomorrow, will Yahweh do this thing, in the land.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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:
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 9:12 But Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, and he hearkened not unto them,––as spake Yahweh unto Moses.
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 9:15 For, now, might I have put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people, with pestilence,––and thou shouldst have secretly disappeared from the earth;
Exo 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.
Exo 9:17 Even yet, art thou exalting thyself over my people,––in not letting them go?
Exo 9:18 Behold me! raining down, about this time tomorrow, an exceeding heavy hail,––such as hath not been in Egypt, from the day it was founded, even unto the present time.
Exo 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.
Exo 9:20 He that feared the word of Yahweh, among the servants of Pharaoh, made his servants and his cattle flee, under shelter;
Exo 9:21 but, whoso applied not his heart unto the word of Yahweh, left his servants and his cattle, in the field.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 9:24 So there came to be hail, and fire catching hold of itself, in the midst of the hail,––exceeding heavy, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt, from the very time it became a nation.
Exo 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.
Exo 9:26 Only, in the land of Goshen, where were the sons of Israel, was there no hail.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 9:30 But, as touching thee and thy servants, I know, that not yet will ye stand in awe of Yahweh Elohim.
Exo 9:31 Now, the flax and the barley, were smitten,––for, the barley, was in the ear, and, the flax, was in flower;
Exo 9:32 but, the wheat and the spelt, were not smitten,––for they were, not ripe.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 10:4 But, if, refusing, thou art to let my people go, behold me bringing in, tomorrow, a locust, within thy bounds;
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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?
Exo 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?
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 10:16 Then hastened Pharaoh, to call for Moses and for Aaron,––and said––I have sinned against Yahweh your God, and against you.
Exo 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.
Exo 10:18 So he came out from Pharaoh,––and made entreaty unto Yahweh;
Exo 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.
Exo 10:20 But Yahweh suffered the heart of Pharaoh to wax bold,––and he did not let the sons of Israel go.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 10:27 And Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold,––and he was not willing to let them go.
Exo 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.
Exo 10:29 And Moses said––Well, hast thou spoken,––no more again, to see thy face.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 11:4 ¶ And Moses said, Thus saith Yahweh,––About midnight, am, I, going forth in the midst of Egypt;
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 12:1 ¶ Then spake Yahweh, unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt,, saying––
Exo 12:2 This month, is, to you, a beginning of months,––the first, it is, to you, of the months of the year.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 12:9 Do not eat of it underdone, nor cooked by boiling in water,––but roast with fire, its head with its legs, and with its inward parts.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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 land of Egypt.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 12:20 Nothing leavened, shall ye eat,––in all your dwellings, shall ye eat unleavened cakes.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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–posts, then will Yahweh pass over the entrance, and not suffer the destroyer to enter into your houses, to inflict on you the plague.
Exo 12:24 And ye shall observe this thing,––for a statute to thee and to thy sons, unto times age–abiding.
Exo 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;
Exo 12:26 and it shall come to pass, that your sons shall say unto you,––What is this your service?
Exo 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.
Exo 12:28 And the sons of Israel went their way and did,––as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so, did they.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 12:32 also, your flocks and your herds, take ye, as ye spake, and go your way,––so shall ye bless, even me.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 12:36 And, Yahweh, gave the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they gave them gladly,––so they spoiled the Egyptians.
Exo 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.
Exo 12:38 Moreover also, a mixed multitude, came up with them,––flocks also, and herds, exceeding much cattle.
Exo 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.
Exo 12:40 Now, the time during which the sons of Israel dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 12:43 ¶ And Yahweh said unto Moses and Aaron: This, is the statute of the passover,––No stranger, shall eat thereof;
Exo 12:44 but, every man’s servant bought with silver,––when thou hast circumcised him, then, shall he eat thereof:
Exo 12:45 An alien or a hireling, shall not eat thereof.
Exo 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.
Exo 12:47 All the assembly of Israel, shall keep it.
Exo 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.
Exo 12:49 One law, shall there be for the native,––and for the sojourner that sojourneth in your midst.
Exo 12:50 Thus did all the sons of Israel,––as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so, did they.
Exo 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.
Exo 13:1 ¶ And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 13:4 Today, are, ye, coming forth,––in the month Abib.
Exo 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.
Exo 13:6 Seven days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes,––and, on the seventh day, [shall be] a festival to Yahweh.
Exo 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.
Exo 13:8 And thou shalt tell thy son, on that day, saying,––[This is], because, of that which Yahweh did for me, when he brought me forth out of Egypt.
Exo 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.
Exo 13:10 So shalt thou observe this statute, in its appointed time,––from year to year.
Exo 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,
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 13:20 And they brake up from Succoth,––and encamped in Etham, at the edge of the desert.
Exo 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:
Exo 13:22 the pillar of cloud by day ceased not, nor the pillar of fire by night,––from before the people.
Exo 14:1 ¶ Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Exo 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.
Exo 14:3 Then will Pharaoh say, of the sons of Israel, Entangled, they are, in the land,––the desert hath closed in upon them.
Exo 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.
Exo 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?
Exo 14:6 So he yoked his chariot,––and, his people, took he with him.
Exo 14:7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt,––with warriors, in every one.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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?
Exo 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?
Exo 14:13 And Moses said unto the people––Do not fear, stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today,––for, as for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall not again see them any more, to times age–abiding.
Exo 14:14 Yahweh, will fight for you,––and, ye, shall, forbear.
Exo 14:15 ¶ And Yahweh said unto Moses, What outcry wouldst thou make unto me? Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they go forward;
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 15:3 Yahweh, is a warlike one,––Yahweh, is his name.
Exo 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.
Exo 15:5 Roaring deeps, covered them,––They went down, in the raging depths, like a stone.
Exo 15:6 Thy right hand, O Yahweh, is splendid in power,––Thy right hand, O Yahweh, dasheth in pieces a foe;
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 15:9 Said the foe––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.
Exo 15:10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, they were covered by the sea,––They rolled like lead, into the waters so wide.
Exo 15:11 Who is, like unto thee, among the mighty, O Yahweh? Who is, like unto thee, Majestic in holiness,––To be revered in praises, Doing a marvelous thing?
Exo 15:12 Thou didst stretch forth thy right hand, earth swallowed them up.
Exo 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.
Exo 15:14 Peoples have heard, they tremble,––A pang, hath seized the dwellers of Philistia:
Exo 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:
Exo 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:––
Exo 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.
Exo 15:18 Yahweh, shall reign, unto times age–abiding and beyond.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 15:23 and, when they came in towards Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were, bitter,––for this cause, was the name thereof called Marah.
Exo 15:24 So the people murmured against Moses––saying, What are we to drink?
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 16:2 Then did all the assembly of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron, in the desert;
Exo 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.
Exo 16:4 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Behold me! raining 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 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?
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 16:11 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses––saying,
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 16:17 And the sons of Israel did so,––and gathered, [some] more, and [some] less;
Exo 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.
Exo 16:19 And Moses said unto them,––Let, no man, leave thereof, until morning.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 16:23 And he said unto them––That, is what Yahweh spake. The observance of a holy sabbath to Yahweh, is tomorrow,––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.
Exo 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.
Exo 16:25 Then said Moses––Eat ye it today, for, a sabbath, is today, unto Yahweh,––today, ye shall not find it in the field.
Exo 16:26 Six days, shall ye gather it,––but, on the seventh day, a sabbath, it shall not be therein.
Exo 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.
Exo 16:28 Then said Yahweh unto Moses,––How long have ye refused to keep my commandments and my laws?
Exo 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.
Exo 16:30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 16:34 As Yahweh gave command unto Moses, so did Aaron set it down before the testimony, as a thing to be preserved.
Exo 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.
Exo 16:36 Now, an omer, is, the tenth of the ephah.
Exo 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.
Exo 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?
Exo 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?
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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?
Exo 17:8 ¶ Then came in Amalek,––and fought with Israel, in Rephidim.
Exo 17:9 And Moses said unto Joshua––Choose for us men, and go forth, fight with Amalek,––tomorrow, am, I, stationing myself upon the top of the hill, with the staff of God in my hand.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 17:13 So Joshua overthrew Amalek and his people, with the edge of the sword.
Exo 17:14 Then said Yahweh unto Moses––Write this as a remembrancer in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua––that I will, wipe out, the remembrance of Amalek, from under the heavens.
Exo 17:15 And Moses built an altar,––and called the name thereof, Yahweh–nissi.
Exo 17:16 And he said––Because of a hand against the throne of Yah, Yahweh hath war with Amalek,––from generation to generation!
Exo 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.
Exo 18:2 So Jethro, Moses father–in–law, took Zipporah, Moses wife,––after she had been sent home;
Exo 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,
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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:
Exo 18:11 Now, I know, that, greater, is Yahweh than all the gods,––Even in the thing wherein they were arrogant over them.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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?
Exo 18:15 And Moses said to his father–in–law,––Because the people come in unto me, to seek God:
Exo 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.
Exo 18:17 Then said Moses’ father–in–law unto him,––Not good, is the thing that thou art doing.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 18:24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father–in–law, and did all that he had said;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 18:27 And Moses sent forth his father–in–law,––and he went his way by himself, unto his own land.
Exo 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:
Exo 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.
Exo 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:
Exo 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:––
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 19:10 And Yahweh said unto Moses––Go unto the people, and thou shalt hallow them today, and tomorrow,––and they shall wash their clothes;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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 ram’s horn soundeth, they themselves, shall come up within the mount.
Exo 19:14 Then Moses went down out of the mount, unto the people,––and hallowed the people, and they washed their clothes.
Exo 19:15 And he said unto the people, Be ready, by the third day,––do not approach a woman.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 19:21 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go down, adjure the people,––lest they press through unto Yahweh, to see, and so there fall from among them a multitude.
Exo 19:22 Yea, even the priests who do approach unto Yahweh, must hallow themselves,––lest Yahweh break in upon them.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 19:25 So Moses went down unto the people,––and said [these things] unto them.
Exo 20:1 ¶ And God spake all these words, saying:––
Exo 20:2 I, am Yahweh thy God,––who have brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of servants:––
Exo 20:3 Thou shalt not have other gods, besides me.
Exo 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:
Exo 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;
Exo 20:6 but shewing lovingkindness unto thousands [of generations], ––of them who love me, and keep my commandments.
Exo 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.
Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to hallow it:
Exo 20:9 Six days, shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 20:13 Thou shalt not commit murder.
Exo 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Exo 20:15 Thou shalt not steal.
Exo 20:16 Thou shalt not testify against thy neighbour, with a witness of falsehood.
Exo 20:17 Thou shalt not covet, thy neighbour’s 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 20:21 So then the people stood afar off,––and, Moses, approached unto the thick gloom, where God was.
Exo 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.
Exo 20:23 Ye shall not make [aught] beside me,––neither gods of silver, nor gods of gold, shall ye make to yourselves.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 20:26 neither shalt thou go up, by steps, unto mine altar,––lest by any means thy shame be discovered thereupon.
Exo 21:1 ¶ Now, these, are the regulations which thou shalt put before them.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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,
Exo 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.
Exo 21:7 And, when a man shall sell his daughter to be a handmaid, she shall not go out according to the out–going of the men–servants.
Exo 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.
Exo 21:9 And, if, to his son, he assign her, according to the custom for daughters, shall he do for her.
Exo 21:10 If he take to himself another, her food, her clothing, and her marriage–right, shall he not withdraw.
Exo 21:11 But, if, these three, he will not do for her, then shall she go out for nought, without silver.
Exo 21:12 ¶ He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall, surely be put to death.
Exo 21:13 But, he who hath not lain in wait, but, God, hath occasioned him to come to his hand, then will I appoint for thee a place, whither he may flee.
Exo 21:14 But, when a man shall act presumptuously against his neighbour, to slay him with guile, from mine altar, shalt thou take him to die.
Exo 21:15 And, he that smiteth his father or his mother, shall, surely be put to death.
Exo 21:16 And, he that stealeth a man of the sons of Israel and selleth him, or he be found in his hand, shall, surely be put to death.
Exo 21:17 And, he who revileth his father or his mother, shall, surely be put to death.
Exo 21:18 And, when men strive together, and one shall smite the other, with a stone or with his fist,––and he die not, but shall fall to his bed; ––
Exo 21:19 if he rise, and shall walk abroad on his staff, then shall he that smote him be acquitted,––only, for his loss of time, he shall pay, and, shall surely heal, him.
Exo 21:20 And, when a man shall smite his servant or his handmaid with a rod, and he die, under his hand, he shall, surely be avenged;
Exo 21:21 nevertheless, if, for a day or for two days, he continue, he shall not be avenged, for, his silver, he is.
Exo 21:22 ¶ And, when men strive together, and push against a woman with child, and she miscarry, but there is no other mischief, he shall, surely be fined, according as the woman’s husband shall lay upon him, but he shall give it through judges.
Exo 21:23 But, if mischief follow, then shalt thou give life for life;
Exo 21:24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth,––hand for hand, foot for foot,
Exo 21:25 brand for brand, wound for wound,––stripe for stripe.
Exo 21:26 And, when a man smiteth the eye of his servant, or the eye of his handmaid, and destroyeth it, he shall send him forth, free, for his eye;
Exo 21:27 or, if, the tooth of his servant, or the tooth of his handmaid, he knock out, he shall send him forth, free, for his tooth.
Exo 21:28 And, when an ox goreth a man or a woman, and death ensueth, the ox shall, surely be stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten, and, the owner of the ox, shall be quit.
Exo 21:29 But, if, the ox, was wont to gore before that time and it hath been attested to his owner, and he hath not proceeded to put him under guard, and he causeth the death of man or woman, the ox, shall be stoned, and, his owner also, shall be put to death.
Exo 21:30 If, a sin–covering, be laid on him, then shall he give a ransom for his life, according to whatsoever may be laid on him:
Exo 21:31 if, a son, he gore, or, a daughter, he gore, according to this regulation, shall it be done to him;
Exo 21:32 if, a servant, the ox gore, or a handmaid, thirty shekels of silver, shall he give to his lord, and, the ox, shall be stoned.
Exo 21:33 And, when a man openeth a pit, or when a man diggeth a pit, and doth not cover it,––and there falleth thereinto an ox or an ass,
Exo 21:34 the owner of the pit, shall make it good, silver, shall he pay back to the owner thereof,––and, the dead beast, shall be his.
Exo 21:35 And, when the ox of one man thrusteth the ox of his neighbour, so that it dieth, then shall they sell the live ox, and divide the silver thereof, and, the dead ox also, shall they divide.
Exo 21:36 Or, if it was known that, an ox, was, wont to gore, before that time, and his owner proceeded not to put him under guard, he shall, surely make good,––an ox for the ox, and, the dead one, shall be his.
Exo 22:1 ¶ When a man stealeth an ox or a sheep, and slayeth it, or selleth it, with five of the herd, shall he make good––for the ox, or with four of the flock, for the sheep.
Exo 22:2 If, in the place of breaking in, the thief be found and he is smitten so that he dieth, there is due for him no shedding of blood:
Exo 22:3 should the sun have arisen upon him, there would be shedding of blood due for him,––he is, surely to make restitution, if he hath nothing, then is he to be sold, for his theft.
Exo 22:4 If the thing stolen is, found in his hand––whether ox, or ass, or sheep, alive, with two, shall he make restitution.
Exo 22:5 When a man causeth a field or a vineyard to be depastured, or hath sent in his own cattle and stripped the field of another, he shall, surely make restitution, out of his own field, according to the yield thereof; or, if, all the field, he depasture, with the best of his own field, or with the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
Exo 22:6 When a fire breaketh out, and hath come upon thorns, and so there is consumed a stack of sheaves, or the standing corn, or the field, he that kindled the fire, shall surely make restitution.
Exo 22:7 ¶ When a man giveth unto his neighbour silver or jewelry, to keep, and it is stolen out of the house of the man:
Exo 22:8 if the thief be found, he shall give in restitution, double: if the thief be not found, then shall the owner of the house be brought near unto God [to swear] that he hath not laid his hand on the property of his neighbour.
Exo 22:9 For any affair of trespass––for an ox, for an ass, for a sheep, for a mantle, for anything lost, as to which one could say––This is, it, unto God, shall come the affair of them both,––he whom God shall condemn, shall make restitution of double, to his neighbour.
Exo 22:10 When a man delivereth unto his neighbour, an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep,––and it dieth, or is fractured, or is driven away, no one beholding,
Exo 22:11 the oath of Yahweh, shall come between them both, That he hath not laid his hand on the property of his neighbour,––then shall the owner thereof accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
Exo 22:12 But, if it be, verily stolen, from him, he shall make restitution to the owner thereof.
Exo 22:13 If it be, verily torn in pieces, he shall bring it in as a witness––for that which was torn, he shall not make restitution.
Exo 22:14 And, when a man asketh aught of his neighbour, and it is fractured or dieth, its owner, not being with it, he shall, surely make restitution.
Exo 22:15 If, its owner, was with it, he shall not make restitution,––if it is, hired, it cometh into its hire.
Exo 22:16 ¶ And, when a man enticeth a virgin who is not betrothed, and lieth with her, he shall, surely pay a purchase–price, that she may be his wife.

Exo 22:20 He that sacrificeth to the gods, shall be devoted to destruction,––except [he sacrificeth] to Yahweh alone.
Exo 22:21 And, a sojourner, shalt thou not tread down, neither shalt thou drive him away,––for, sojourners, ye became in the land of Egypt.
Exo 22:22 Neither widow nor fatherless, shalt thou humiliate:
Exo 22:23 if thou, do humiliate, him, when he in anywise crieth out unto me, I will, surely hear, his outcry:
Exo 22:24 so shall kindle mine anger, and I will slay you with the sword,––and your, wives, shall become, widows, and your, sons, fatherless.
Exo 22:25 ¶ If, silver, thou wilt lend unto my people––unto the humbled one by thee, thou shalt not be to him like one that lendeth on interest,––thou shalt not lay upon him interest.
Exo 22:26 If thou, do take in pledge, the mantle of thy neighbour, by the going in of the sun, shalt thou restore it to him;
Exo 22:27 for, that, is his only covering, that, is his mantle, for his skin,––wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he maketh outcry unto me, then will I hear, because, gracious, I am.
Exo 22:28 God, shalt thou not revile,––and, a prince among thy people, shalt thou not curse.
Exo 22:29 Thy fulness and thine outflow, shalt thou not delay,––the firstborn of thy sons, shalt thou give to me.
Exo 22:30 Thus, shalt thou do with thine ox, with thy sheep,––seven days, shall it be with its dam, on the eighth day, shalt thou give it to me.
Exo 22:31 Holy men, therefore, shall ye truly become to me,––and, flesh in the field torn to pieces, shall ye not eat, to the dogs, shall ye cast it.
Exo 23:1 ¶ Thou shalt not utter a false report. Do not lay thy hand with a lawless man, to become a witness helping forward violence and wrong.
Exo 23:2 Thou shalt not follow multitudes to commit wickedness,––neither shalt thou answer in a quarrel, so as to turn away after multitudes to mislead.
Exo 23:3 Even a poor man, shalt thou not prefer in his quarrel.
Exo 23:4 When thou meetest the ox of thine enemy, or his ass, going astray, thou shalt, surely bring it back, to him.
Exo 23:5 When thou seest the ass of him that hateth thee, sinking down under his burden, and mightest have foreborne to unload him, thou shalt, surely help him to unload.
Exo 23:6 Thou shalt not pervert the vindication of thy needy one, in his quarrel.
Exo 23:7 From a matter of falsehood, thou shalt keep far away,––and, the innocent one and the righteous, do not thou slay, for I will not justify a lawless man.
Exo 23:8 And, a bribe, shalt thou not take,––for, the bribe, blindeth the clear–sighted, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
Exo 23:9 And, a sojourner, shalt thou not drive away,––seeing that, ye yourselves, know the soul of a sojourner; for, sojourners, became ye in the land of Egypt.
Exo 23:10 ¶ And, six years, shalt thou sow thy land,––and shalt gather the yield thereof;
Exo 23:11 but, the seventh year, shalt thou let it rest and be still, so shall the needy of thy people eat, and, what they leave, shall the wild–beast of the field eat,––in like manner, shalt thou deal with thy vineyard, with thine oliveyard.
Exo 23:12 Six days, shalt thou do thy work, but, on the seventh day, shalt thou keep sabbath,––that thine ox may rest, and thine ass, and that the son of thy handmaid, and the sojourner, may be refreshed.
Exo 23:13 And, in all that I have said unto thee, shalt thou take heed to thyself,––and, the name of other gods, shalt thou not mention, it shall not be heard upon thy mouth.
Exo 23:14 Three times, shalt thou keep festival to me, in the year.
Exo 23:15 The festival of unleavened cakes, shalt thou keep,––seven days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes, as I commanded thee, at the appointed time of the month Abib; for, therein, camest thou forth out of Egypt,––and they shall not see my face, empty–handed.
Exo 23:16 And the festival of harvest, with the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou shalt sow in the field. And the festival of ingathering––at the outgoing of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours, out of the field.
Exo 23:17 Three times in the year, shall all thy males see the face of the Lord Yahweh.
Exo 23:18 Thou shalt not offer, with anything leavened, the blood of my sacrifice,––neither shall the fat of my festival–sacrifice remain until morning.
Exo 23:19 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.
Exo 23:20 ¶ Lo! I, am sending a messenger before thee, to guard thee in the way,––and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Exo 23:21 Take thou heed of his presence, and hearken to his voice––do not vex him,––for he will not pardon your transgression, for, my name, is within him.
Exo 23:22 But, if thou, wilt indeed hearken, to his voice, and so wilt do all that I may speak, then will I be an enemy to thine enemies, and an adversary to thine adversaries;
Exo 23:23 for my messenger shall go before thee, and bring thee in––unto the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite,––so will I destroy them.
Exo 23:24 Thou shalt not bow thyself down to their gods, neither shalt thou be led to serve them, neither shalt thou do according to their works,––but thou shalt, verily overthrow, them, and, completely break in pieces, their pillars.
Exo 23:25 So shall ye serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless thy bread, and thy water,––and I will take away sickness out of thy midst.
Exo 23:26 There shall be nothing casting its young or barren, in thy land,––the number of thy days, will I make full.
Exo 23:27 My terror, will I send before thee, and will confound all the people, amongst whom thou shalt come, and will deliver up all thine enemies unto thee as they flee.
Exo 23:28 And I will send the hornet, before thee,––and it shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
Exo 23:29 I will not drive them out from before thee, in one year,––lest the land should become a desolation, so would the wild–beast of the field multiply over thee.
Exo 23:30 Little by little, will I drive them out from before thee,––until thou become fruitful, then shalt thou take possession of the land.
Exo 23:31 So will I set thy bounds from the Red Sea, even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert, unto the River[=Euphrates], ––for I will deliver into your hand the inhabitants of the land, so shalt thou drive them out from before thee.
Exo 23:32 Thou shalt not make, with them or with their gods, a covenant:
Exo 23:33 they shall not dwell in thy land, lest they cause, thee, to sin against, me,––for thou mightest serve their gods, verily! it would become to thee, a snare!
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 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;
Exo 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.
Exo 24:6 Then took Moses, half of the blood, and put it in basins, and, half of the blood, dashed he over the altar;
Exo 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.
Exo 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.
Exo 24:9 ¶ Then went up Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel;
Exo 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,
Exo 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.
Exo 24:12 ¶ Then said Yahweh unto Moses––Come thou up unto me, in the mountain, and remain thou there,–
