10:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in
unto Pharaoh: for I have
hardened his heart, and the heart of his
servants, that I might shew
these my signs before him: 10:2 And that
thou mayest tell in the ears
of thy son, and of thy son's son, what
things I have wrought in Egypt,
and my signs which I have done among them;
that ye may know how that I
am the LORD.
10:3 And Moses and Aaron came in unto
Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus
saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long
wilt thou refuse to humble
thyself before me? let my people go, that
they may serve me.
10:4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people
go, behold, to morrow will
I bring the locusts into thy coast: 10:5 And
they shall cover the face
of the earth, that one cannot be able to see
the earth: and they shall
eat the residue of that which is escaped,
which remaineth unto you
from the hail, and shall eat every tree
which groweth for you out of
the field: 10:6 And they shall fill thy
houses, and the houses of all
thy servants, and the houses of all the
Egyptians; which neither thy
fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen,
since the day that they
were upon the earth unto this day. And he
turned himself, and went out
from Pharaoh.
10:7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto him,
How long shall this man be
a snare unto us? let the men go, that they
may serve the LORD their
God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is
destroyed? 10:8 And Moses and
Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and
he said unto them, Go,
serve the LORD your God: but who are they
that shall go? 10:9 And
Moses said, We will go with our young and
with our old, with our sons
and with our daughters, with our flocks and
with our herds will we go;
for we must hold a feast unto the LORD.
10:10 And he said unto them, Let the LORD be
so with you, as I will
let you go, and your little ones: look to
it; for evil is before you.
10:11 Not so: go now ye that are men, and
serve the LORD; for that ye
did desire. And they were driven out from
Pharaoh's presence.
10:12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch
out thine hand over the
land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may
come up upon the land of
Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even
all that the hail hath
left.
10:13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over
the land of Egypt, and
the LORD brought an east wind upon the land
all that day, and all that
night; and when it was morning, the east
wind brought the locusts.
10:14 And the locust went up over all the
land of Egypt, and rested in
all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were
they; before them there
were no such locusts as they, neither after
them shall be such.
10:15 For they covered the face of the whole
earth, so that the land
was darkened; and they did eat every herb of
the land, and all the
fruit of the trees which the hail had left:
and there remained not any
green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of
the field, through all
the land of Egypt.
10:16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and
Aaron in haste; and he said, I
have sinned against the LORD your God, and
against you.
10:17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my
sin only this once, and
intreat the LORD your God, that he may take
away from me this death
only.
10:18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and
intreated the LORD.
10:19 And the LORD turned a mighty strong
west wind, which took away
the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea;
there remained not one
locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
10:20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart,
so that he would not let
the children of Israel go.
10:21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch
out thine hand toward
heaven, that there may be darkness over the
land of Egypt, even
darkness which may be felt.
10:22 And Moses stretched forth his hand
toward heaven; and there was
a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt
three days: 10:23 They saw
not one another, neither rose any from his
place for three days: but
all the children of Israel had light in
their dwellings.
10:24 And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and
said, Go ye, serve the LORD;
only let your flocks and your herds be
stayed: let your little ones
also go with you.
10:25 And Moses said, Thou must give us also
sacrifices and burnt
offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the
LORD our God.
10:26 Our cattle also shall go with us;
there shall not an hoof be
left behind; for thereof must we take to
serve the LORD our God; and
we know not with what we must serve the
LORD, until we come thither.
10:27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart,
and he would not let them
go.
10:28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee
from me, take heed to
thyself, see my face no more; for in that
day thou seest my face thou
shalt die.
10:29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well,
I will see thy face again
no more.
11:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will
I bring one plague more
upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he
will let you go hence:
when he shall let you go, he shall surely
thrust you out hence
altogether.
11:2 Speak now in the ears of the people,
and let every man borrow of
his neighbour, and every woman of her
neighbour, jewels of silver and
jewels of gold.
11:3 And the LORD gave the people favour in
the sight of the
Egyptians.
Moreover the man Moses was very great in the
land of Egypt, in the
sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the
sight of the people.
11:4 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD,
About midnight will I go out
into the midst of Egypt: 11:5 And all the
firstborn in the land of
Egypt shall die, from the first born of
Pharaoh that sitteth upon his
throne, even unto the firstborn of the
maidservant that is behind the
mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
11:6 And there shall be a great cry
throughout all the land of Egypt,
such as there was none like it, nor shall be
like it any more.
11:7 But against any of the children of
Israel shall not a dog move
his tongue, against man or beast: that ye
may know how that the LORD
doth put a difference between the Egyptians
and Israel.
11:8 And all these thy servants shall come
down unto me, and bow down
themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out,
and all the people that
follow thee: and after that I will go out.
And he went out from
Pharaoh in a great anger.
11:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh
shall not hearken unto you;
that my wonders may be multiplied in the
land of Egypt.
11:10 And Moses and Aaron did all these
wonders before Pharaoh: and
the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that
he would not let the
children of Israel go out of his land.
12:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron
in the land of Egypt
saying, 12:2 This month shall be unto you
the beginning of months: it
shall be the first month of the year to you.
12:3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of
Israel, saying, In the
tenth day of this month they shall take to
them every man a lamb,
according to the house of their fathers, a
lamb for an house: 12:4 And
if the household be too little for the lamb,
let him and his neighbour
next unto his house take it according to the
number of the souls;
every man according to his eating shall make
your count for the lamb.
12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a
male of the first year: ye
shall take it out from the sheep, or from
the goats: 12:6 And ye shall
keep it up until the fourteenth day of the
same month: and the whole
assembly of the congregation of Israel shall
kill it in the evening.
12:7 And they shall take of the blood, and
strike it on the two side
posts and on the upper door post of the
houses, wherein they shall eat
it.
12:8 And they shall eat the flesh in that
night, roast with fire, and
unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they
shall eat it.
12:9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all
with water, but roast with
fire; his head with his legs, and with the
purtenance thereof.
12:10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain
until the morning; and
that which remaineth of it until the morning
ye shall burn with fire.
12:11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your
loins girded, your shoes on
your feet, and your staff in your hand; and
ye shall eat it in haste:
it is the LORD's passover.
12:12 For I will pass through the land of
Egypt this night, and will
smite all the firstborn in the land of
Egypt, both man and beast; and
against all the gods of Egypt I will execute
judgment: I am the LORD.
12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a
token upon the houses where
ye are: and when I see the blood, I will
pass over you, and the plague
shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I
smite the land of Egypt.
12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a
memorial; and ye shall keep
it a feast to the LORD throughout your
generations; ye shall keep it a
feast by an ordinance for ever.
12:15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened
bread; even the first day ye
shall put away leaven out of your houses:
for whosoever eateth
leavened bread from the first day until the
seventh day, that soul
shall be cut off from Israel.
12:16 And in the first day there shall be an
holy convocation, and in
the seventh day there shall be an holy
convocation to you; no manner
of work shall be done in them, save that
which every man must eat,
that only may be done of you.
12:17 And ye shall observe the feast of
unleavened bread; for in this
selfsame day have I brought your armies out
of the land of Egypt:
therefore shall ye observe this day in your
generations by an
ordinance for ever.
12:18 In the first month, on the fourteenth
day of the month at even,
ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one
and twentieth day of the
month at even.
12:19 Seven days shall there be no leaven
found in your houses: for
whosoever eateth that which is leavened,
even that soul shall be cut
off from the congregation of Israel, whether
he be a stranger, or born
in the land.
12:20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all
your habitations shall ye
eat unleavened bread.
12:21 Then Moses called for all the elders
of Israel, and said unto
them, Draw out and take you a lamb according
to your families, and
kill the passover.
12:22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop,
and dip it in the blood
that is in the bason, and strike the lintel
and the two side posts
with the blood that is in the bason; and
none of you shall go out at
the door of his house until the morning.
12:23 For the LORD will pass through to
smite the Egyptians; and when
he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on
the two side posts, the
LORD will pass over the door, and will not
suffer the destroyer to
come in unto your houses to smite you.
12:24 And ye shall observe this thing for an
ordinance to thee and to
thy sons for ever.
12:25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be
come to the land which the
LORD will give you, according as he hath
promised, that ye shall keep
this service.
12:26 And it shall come to pass, when your
children shall say unto
you, What mean ye by this service? 12:27
That ye shall say, It is the
sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who passed
over the houses of the
children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote
the Egyptians, and
delivered our houses. And the people bowed
the head and worshipped.
12:28 And the children of Israel went away,
and did as the LORD had
commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
12:29 And it came to pass, that at midnight
the LORD smote all the
firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the
firstborn of Pharaoh that sat
on his throne unto the firstborn of the
captive that was in the
dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
12:30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he,
and all his servants, and
all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry
in Egypt; for there was
not a house where there was not one dead.
12:31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by
night, and said, Rise up,
and get you forth from among my people, both
ye and the children of
Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have
said.
12:32 Also take your flocks and your herds,
as ye have said, and be
gone; and bless me also.
12:33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the
people, that they might
send them out of the land in haste; for they
said, We be all dead men.
12:34 And the people took their dough before
it was leavened, their
kneadingtroughs being bound up in their
clothes upon their shoulders.
12:35 And the children of Israel did
according to the word of Moses;
and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of
silver, and jewels of
gold, and raiment: 12:36 And the LORD gave
the people favour in the
sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent
unto them such things as
they required. And they spoiled the
Egyptians.
12:37 And the children of Israel journeyed
from Rameses to Succoth,
about six hundred thousand on foot that were
men, beside children.
12:38 And a mixed multitude went up also
with them; and flocks, and
herds, even very much cattle.
12:39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the
dough which they brought
forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened;
because they were thrust
out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither
had they prepared for
themselves any victual.
12:40 Now the sojourning of the children of
Israel, who dwelt in
Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
12:41 And it came to pass at the end of the
four hundred and thirty
years, even the selfsame day it came to
pass, that all the hosts of
the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
12:42 It is a night to be much observed unto
the LORD for bringing
them out from the land of Egypt: this is
that night of the LORD to be
observed of all the children of Israel in
their generations.
12:43 And the LORD said unto Moses and
Aaron, This is the ordinance of
the passover: There shall no stranger eat
thereof: 12:44 But every
man's servant that is bought for money, when
thou hast circumcised
him, then shall he eat thereof.
12:45 A foreigner and an hired servant shall
not eat thereof.
12:46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou
shalt not carry forth ought
of the flesh abroad out of the house;
neither shall ye break a bone
thereof.
12:47 All the congregation of Israel shall
keep it.
12:48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with
thee, and will keep the
passover to the LORD, let all his males be
circumcised, and then let
him come near and keep it; and he shall be
as one that is born in the
land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat
thereof.
12:49 One law shall be to him that is
homeborn, and unto the stranger
that sojourneth among you.
12:50 Thus did all the children of Israel;
as the LORD commanded Moses
and Aaron, so did they.
12:51 And it came to pass the selfsame day,
that the LORD did bring
the children of Israel out of the land of
Egypt by their armies.
13:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
13:2 Sanctify unto me all
the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb
among the children of
Israel, both of man and of beast: it is
mine.
13:3 And Moses said unto the people,
Remember this day, in which ye
came out from Egypt, out of the house of
bondage; for by strength of
hand the LORD brought you out from this
place: there shall no leavened
bread be eaten.
13:4 This day came ye out in the month Abib.
13:5 And it shall be when the LORD shall
bring thee into the land of
the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the
Amorites, and the Hivites,
and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy
fathers to give thee, a
land flowing with milk and honey, that thou
shalt keep this service in
this month.
13:6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened
bread, and in the seventh
day shall be a feast to the LORD.
13:7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven
days; and there shall no
leavened bread be seen with thee, neither
shall there be leaven seen
with thee in all thy quarters.
13:8 And thou shalt shew thy son in that
day, saying, This is done
because of that which the LORD did unto me
when I came forth out of
Egypt.
13:9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee
upon thine hand, and for a
memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD's
law may be in thy mouth:
for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought
thee out of Egypt.
13:10 Thou shalt therefore keep this
ordinance in his season from year
to year.
13:11 And it shall be when the LORD shall
bring thee into the land of
the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to
thy fathers, and shall
give it thee, 13:12 That thou shalt set
apart unto the LORD all that
openeth the matrix, and every firstling that
cometh of a beast which
thou hast; the males shall be the LORD's.
13:13 And every firstling of an ass thou
shalt redeem with a lamb; and
if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt
break his neck: and all
the firstborn of man among thy children
shalt thou redeem.
13:14 And it shall be when thy son asketh
thee in time to come,
saying, What is this? that thou shalt say
unto him, By strength of
hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt,
from the house of bondage:
13:15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh
would hardly let us go, that
the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land
of Egypt, both the
firstborn of man, and the firstborn of
beast: therefore I sacrifice to
the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being
males; but all the
firstborn of my children I redeem.
13:16 And it shall be for a token upon thine
hand, and for frontlets
between thine eyes: for by strength of hand
the LORD brought us forth
out of Egypt.
13:17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had
let the people go, that
God led them not through the way of the land
of the Philistines,
although that was near; for God said, Lest
peradventure the people
repent when they see war, and they return to
Egypt: 13:18 But God led
the people about, through the way of the
wilderness of the Red sea:
and the children of Israel went up harnessed
out of the land of Egypt.
13:19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph
with him: for he had straitly
sworn the children of Israel, saying, God
will surely visit you; and
ye shall carry up my bones away hence with
you.
13:20 And they took their journey from
Succoth, and encamped in Etham,
in the edge of the wilderness.
13:21 And the LORD went before them by day
in a pillar of a cloud, to
lead them the way; and by night in a pillar
of fire, to give them
light; to go by day and night: 13:22 He took
not away the pillar of
the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by
night, from before the
people.
14:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
14:2 Speak unto the
children of Israel, that they turn and
encamp before Pihahiroth,
between Migdol and the sea, over against
Baalzephon: before it shall
ye encamp by the sea.
14:3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of
Israel, They are
entangled in the land, the wilderness hath
shut them in.
14:4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that
he shall follow after
them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh,
and upon all his host; that
the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD.
And they did so.
14:5 And it was told the king of Egypt that
the people fled: and the
heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was
turned against the people,
and they said, Why have we done this, that
we have let Israel go from
serving us? 14:6 And he made ready his
chariot, and took his people
with him: 14:7 And he took six hundred
chosen chariots, and all the
chariots of Egypt, and captains over every
one of them.
14:8 And the LORD hardened the heart of
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he
pursued after the children of Israel: and
the children of Israel went
out with an high hand.
14:9 But the Egyptians pursued after them,
all the horses and chariots
of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army,
and overtook them
encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth,
before Baalzephon.
14:10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the
children of Israel lifted up
their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians
marched after them; and they
were sore afraid: and the children of Israel
cried out unto the LORD.
14:11 And they said unto Moses, Because
there were no graves in Egypt,
hast thou taken us away to die in the
wilderness? wherefore hast thou
dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of
Egypt? 14:12 Is not this
the word that we did tell thee in Egypt,
saying, Let us alone, that we
may serve the Egyptians? For it had been
better for us to serve the
Egyptians, than that we should die in the
wilderness.
14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear
ye not, stand still, and
see the salvation of the LORD, which he will
shew to you to day: for
the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye
shall see them again no
more for ever.
14:14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye
shall hold your peace.
14:15 And the LORD said unto Moses,
Wherefore criest thou unto me?
speak unto the children of Israel, that they
go forward: 14:16 But
lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine
hand over the sea, and
divide it: and the children of Israel shall
go on dry ground through
the midst of the sea.
14:17 And I, behold, I will harden the
hearts of the Egyptians, and
they shall follow them: and I will get me
honour upon Pharaoh, and
upon all his host, upon his chariots, and
upon his horsemen.
14:18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am
the LORD, when I have
gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his
chariots, and upon his
horsemen.
14:19 And the angel of God, which went
before the camp of Israel,
removed and went behind them; and the pillar
of the cloud went from
before their face, and stood behind them:
14:20 And it came between
the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of
Israel; and it was a cloud
and darkness to them, but it gave light by
night to these: so that the
one came not near the other all the night.
14:21 And Moses stretched out his hand over
the sea; and the LORD
caused the sea to go back by a strong east
wind all that night, and
made the sea dry land, and the waters were
divided.
14:22 And the children of Israel went into
the midst of the sea upon
the dry ground: and the waters were a wall
unto them on their right
hand, and on their left.
14:23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in
after them to the midst
of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his
chariots, and his horsemen.
14:24 And it came to pass, that in the
morning watch the LORD looked
unto the host of the Egyptians through the
pillar of fire and of the
cloud, and troubled the host of the
Egyptians, 14:25 And took off
their chariot wheels, that they drave them
heavily: so that the
Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of
Israel; for the LORD
fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
14:26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch
out thine hand over the
sea, that the waters may come again upon the
Egyptians, upon their
chariots, and upon their horsemen.
14:27 And Moses stretched forth his hand
over the sea, and the sea
returned to his strength when the morning
appeared; and the Egyptians
fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the
Egyptians in the midst of
the sea.
14:28 And the waters returned, and covered
the chariots, and the
horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that
came into the sea after
them; there remained not so much as one of
them.
14:29 But the children of Israel walked upon
dry land in the midst of
the sea; and the waters were a wall unto
them on their right hand, and
on their left.
14:30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day
out of the hand of the
Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead
upon the sea shore.
14:31 And Israel saw that great work which
the LORD did upon the
Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD,
and believed the LORD, and
his servant Moses.
15:1 Then sang Moses and the children of
Israel this song unto the
LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto
the LORD, for he hath
triumphed gloriously: the horse and his
rider hath he thrown into the
sea.
15:2 The LORD is my strength and song, and
he is become my salvation:
he is my God, and I will prepare him an
habitation; my father's God,
and I will exalt him.
15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is
his name.
15:4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he
cast into the sea: his
chosen captains also are drowned in the Red
sea.
15:5 The depths have covered them: they sank
into the bottom as a
stone.
15:6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become
glorious in power: thy right
hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the
enemy.
15:7 And in the greatness of thine
excellency thou hast overthrown
them that rose up against thee: thou sentest
forth thy wrath, which
consumed them as stubble.
15:8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the
waters were gathered
together, the floods stood upright as an
heap, and the depths were
congealed in the heart of the sea.
15:9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will
overtake, I will divide the
spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them;
I will draw my sword, my
hand shall destroy them.
15:10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea
covered them: they sank
as lead in the mighty waters.
15:11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among
the gods? who is like thee,
glorious in holiness, fearful in praises,
doing wonders? 15:12 Thou
stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth
swallowed them.
15:13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the
people which thou hast
redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy
strength unto thy holy
habitation.
15:14 The people shall hear, and be afraid:
sorrow shall take hold on
the inhabitants of Palestina.
15:15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be
amazed; the mighty men of Moab,
trembling shall take hold upon them; all the
inhabitants of Canaan
shall melt away.
15:16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them;
by the greatness of thine
arm they shall be as still as a stone; till
thy people pass over, O
LORD, till the people pass over, which thou
hast purchased.
15:17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant
them in the mountain of
thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD,
which thou hast made for thee
to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which
thy hands have
established.
15:18 The LORD shall reign for ever and
ever.
15:19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with
his chariots and with his
horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought
again the waters of the
sea upon them; but the children of Israel
went on dry land in the
midst of the sea.
15:20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister
of Aaron, took a timbrel
in her hand; and all the women went out
after her with timbrels and
with dances.
15:21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to
the LORD, for he hath
triumphed gloriously; the horse and his
rider hath he thrown into the
sea.
15:22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red
sea, and they went out into
the wilderness of Shur; and they went three
days in the wilderness,
and found no water.
15:23 And when they came to Marah, they
could not drink of the waters
of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore
the name of it was called
Marah.
15:24 And the people murmured against Moses,
saying, What shall we
drink? 15:25 And he cried unto the LORD; and
the LORD shewed him a
tree, which when he had cast into the
waters, the waters were made
sweet: there he made for them a statute and
an ordinance, and there he
proved them, 15:26 And said, If thou wilt
diligently hearken to the
voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that
which is right in his
sight, and wilt give ear to his
commandments, and keep all his
statutes, I will put none of these diseases
upon thee, which I have
brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the
LORD that healeth thee.
15:27 And they came to Elim, where were
twelve wells of water, and
threescore and ten palm trees: and they
encamped there by the waters.
16:1 And they took their journey from Elim,
and all the congregation
of the children of Israel came unto the
wilderness of Sin, which is
between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day
of the second month after
their departing out of the land of Egypt.
16:2 And the whole congregation of the
children of Israel murmured
against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
16:3 And the children of
Israel said unto them, Would to God we had
died by the hand of the
LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by
the flesh pots, and when we
did eat bread to the full; for ye have
brought us forth into this
wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with
hunger.
16:4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold,
I will rain bread from
heaven for you; and the people shall go out
and gather a certain rate
every day, that I may prove them, whether
they will walk in my law, or
no.
16:5 And it shall come to pass, that on the
sixth day they shall
prepare that which they bring in; and it
shall be twice as much as
they gather daily.
16:6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the
children of Israel, At
even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath
brought you out from the
land of Egypt: 16:7 And in the morning, then
ye shall see the glory of
the LORD; for that he heareth your
murmurings against the LORD: and
what are we, that ye murmur against us? 16:8
And Moses said, This
shall be, when the LORD shall give you in
the evening flesh to eat,
and in the morning bread to the full; for
that the LORD heareth your
murmurings which ye murmur against him: and
what are we? your
murmurings are not against us, but against
the LORD.
16:9 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto
all the congregation of the
children of Israel, Come near before the
LORD: for he hath heard your
murmurings.
16:10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake
unto the whole congregation
of the children of Israel, that they looked
toward the wilderness,
and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared
in the cloud.
16:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
16:12 I have heard the
murmurings of the children of Israel: speak
unto them, saying, At even
ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye
shall be filled with bread;
and ye shall know that I am the LORD your
God.
16:13 And it came to pass, that at even the
quails came up, and
covered the camp: and in the morning the dew
lay round about the host.
16:14 And when the dew that lay was gone up,
behold, upon the face of
the wilderness there lay a small round
thing, as small as the hoar
frost on the ground.
16:15 And when the children of Israel saw
it, they said one to
another, It is manna: for they wist not what
it was. And Moses said
unto them, This is the bread which the LORD
hath given you to eat.
16:16 This is the thing which the LORD hath
commanded, Gather of it
every man according to his eating, an omer
for every man, according to
the number of your persons; take ye every
man for them which are in
his tents.
16:17 And the children of Israel did so, and
gathered, some more, some
less.
16:18 And when they did mete it with an omer,
he that gathered much
had nothing over, and he that gathered
little had no lack; they
gathered every man according to his eating.
16:19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it
till the morning.
16:20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not
unto Moses; but some of them
left of it until the morning, and it bred
worms, and stank: and Moses
was wroth with them.
16:21 And they gathered it every morning,
every man according to his
eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it
melted.
16:22 And it came to pass, that on the sixth
day they gathered twice
as much bread, two omers for one man: and
all the rulers of the
congregation came and told Moses.
16:23 And he said unto them, This is that
which the LORD hath said, To
morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto
the LORD: bake that which
ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will
seethe; and that which
remaineth over lay up for you to be kept
until the morning.
16:24 And they laid it up till the morning,
as Moses bade: and it did
not stink, neither was there any worm
therein.
16:25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for
to day is a sabbath unto
the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the
field.
16:26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on
the seventh day, which is
the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
16:27 And it came to pass, that there went
out some of the people on
the seventh day for to gather, and they
found none.
16:28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long
refuse ye to keep my
commandments and my laws? 16:29 See, for
that the LORD hath given you
the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the
sixth day the bread of two
days; abide ye every man in his place, let
no man go out of his place
on the seventh day.
16:30 So the people rested on the seventh
day.
16:31 And the house of Israel called the
name thereof Manna: and it
was like coriander seed, white; and the
taste of it was like wafers
made with honey.
16:32 And Moses said, This is the thing
which the LORD commandeth,
Fill an omer of it to be kept for your
generations; that they may see
the bread wherewith I have fed you in the
wilderness, when I brought
you forth from the land of Egypt.
16:33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot,
and put an omer full of
manna therein, and lay it up before the
LORD, to be kept for your
generations.
16:34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron
laid it up before the
Testimony, to be kept.
16:35 And the children of Israel did eat
manna forty years, until they
came to a land inhabited; they did eat
manna, until they came unto the
borders of the land of Canaan.
16:36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an
ephah.
17:1 And all the congregation of the
children of Israel journeyed from
the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys,
according to the
commandment of the LORD, and pitched in
Rephidim: and there was no
water for the people to drink.
17:2 Wherefore the people did chide with
Moses, and said, Give us
water that we may drink. And Moses said unto
them, Why chide ye with
me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD? 17:3 And
the people thirsted
there for water; and the people murmured
against Moses, and said,
Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us
up out of Egypt, to kill
us and our children and our cattle with
thirst? 17:4 And Moses cried
unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto
this people? they be
almost ready to stone me.
17:5 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on
before the people, and take
with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy
rod, wherewith thou smotest
the river, take in thine hand, and go.
17:6 Behold, I will stand before thee there
upon the rock in Horeb;
and thou shalt smite the rock, and there
shall come water out of it,
that the people may drink. And Moses did so
in the sight of the elders
of Israel.
17:7 And he called the name of the place
Massah, and Meribah, because
of the chiding of the children of Israel,
and because they tempted the
LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
17:8 Then came Amalek,
and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
17:9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us
out men, and go out, fight
with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the
top of the hill with the
rod of God in mine hand.
17:10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to
him, and fought with Amalek:
and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top
of the hill.
17:11 And it came to pass, when Moses held
up his hand, that Israel
prevailed: and when he let down his hand,
Amalek prevailed.
17:12 But Moses hands were heavy; and they
took a stone, and put it
under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and
Hur stayed up his hands,
the one on the one side, and the other on
the other side; and his
hands were steady until the going down of
the sun.
17:13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his
people with the edge of
the sword.
17:14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write
this for a memorial in a
book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua:
for I will utterly put
out the remembrance of Amalek from under
heaven.
17:15 And Moses built an altar, and called
the name of it
Jehovahnissi: 17:16 For he said, Because the
LORD hath sworn that the
LORD will have war with Amalek from
generation to generation.
18:1 When Jethro, the priest of Midian,
Moses' father in law, heard of
all that God had done for Moses, and for
Israel his people, and that
the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt;
18:2 Then Jethro, Moses'
father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife,
after he had sent her back,
18:3 And her two sons; of which the name of
the one was Gershom; for
he said, I have been an alien in a strange
land: 18:4 And the name of
the other was Eliezer; for the God of my
father, said he, was mine
help, and delivered me from the sword of
Pharaoh: 18:5 And Jethro,
Moses' father in law, came with his sons and
his wife unto Moses into
the wilderness, where he encamped at the
mount of God: 18:6 And he
said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro
am come unto thee, and thy
wife, and her two sons with her.
18:7 And Moses went out to meet his father
in law, and did obeisance,
and kissed him; and they asked each other of
their welfare; and they
came into the tent.
18:8 And Moses told his father in law all
that the LORD had done unto
Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's
sake, and all the travail
that had come upon them by the way, and how
the LORD delivered them.
18:9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the
goodness which the LORD had done
to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the
hand of the Egyptians.
18:10 And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD,
who hath delivered you out
of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the
hand of Pharaoh, who hath
delivered the people from under the hand of
the Egyptians.
18:11 Now I know that the LORD is greater
than all gods: for in the
thing wherein they dealt proudly he was
above them.
18:12 And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took
a burnt offering and
sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all
the elders of Israel, to
eat bread with Moses' father in law before
God.
18:13 And it came to pass on the morrow,
that Moses sat to judge the
people: and the people stood by Moses from
the morning unto the
evening.
18:14 And when Moses' father in law saw all
that he did to the people,
he said, What is this thing that thou doest
to the people? why sittest
thou thyself alone, and all the people stand
by thee from morning unto
even? 18:15 And Moses said unto his father
in law, Because the people
come unto me to enquire of God: 18:16 When
they have a matter, they
come unto me; and I judge between one and
another, and I do make them
know the statutes of God, and his laws.
18:17 And Moses' father in law said unto
him, The thing that thou
doest is not good.
18:18 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou,
and this people that is
with thee: for this thing is too heavy for
thee; thou art not able to
perform it thyself alone.
18:19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give
thee counsel, and God
shall be with thee: Be thou for the people
to God-ward, that thou
mayest bring the causes unto God: 18:20 And
thou shalt teach them
ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the
way wherein they must
walk, and the work that they must do.
18:21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all
the people able men, such
as fear God, men of truth, hating
covetousness; and place such over
them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers
of hundreds, rulers of
fifties, and rulers of tens: 18:22 And let
them judge the people at
all seasons: and it shall be, that every
great matter they shall bring
unto thee, but every small matter they shall
judge: so shall it be
easier for thyself, and they shall bear the
burden with thee.
18:23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God
command thee so, then thou
shalt be able to endure, and all this people
shall also go to their
place in peace.
18:24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his
father in law, and did
all that he had said.
18:25 And Moses chose able men out of all
Israel, and made them heads
over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers
of hundreds, rulers of
fifties, and rulers of tens.
18:26 And they judged the people at all
seasons: the hard causes they
brought unto Moses, but every small matter
they judged themselves.
18:27 And Moses let his father in law
depart; and he went his way into
his own land.
19:1 In the third month, when the children
of Israel were gone forth
out of the land of Egypt, the same day came
they into the wilderness
of Sinai.
19:2 For they were departed from Rephidim,
and were come to the desert
of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness;
and there Israel camped
before the mount.
19:3 And Moses went up unto God, and the
LORD called unto him out of
the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to
the house of Jacob, and
tell the children of Israel; 19:4 Ye have
seen what I did unto the
Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles'
wings, and brought you unto
myself.
19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice
indeed, and keep my
covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar
treasure unto me above all
people: for all the earth is mine: 19:6 And
ye shall be unto me a
kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.
These are the words which thou shalt speak
unto the children of
Israel.
19:7 And Moses came and called for the
elders of the people, and laid
before their faces all these words which the
LORD commanded him.
19:8 And all the people answered together,
and said, All that the LORD
hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned
the words of the people
unto the LORD.
19:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I
come unto thee in a thick
cloud, that the people may hear when I speak
with thee, and believe
thee for ever.
And Moses told the words of the people unto
the LORD.
19:10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto
the people, and sanctify
them to day and to morrow, and let them wash
their clothes, 19:11 And
be ready against the third day: for the
third day the LORD will come
down in the sight of all the people upon
mount Sinai.
19:12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the
people round about, saying,
Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up
into the mount, or touch
the border of it: whosoever toucheth the
mount shall be surely put to
death: 19:13 There shall not an hand touch
it, but he shall surely be
stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast
or man, it shall not
live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they
shall come up to the mount.
19:14 And Moses went down from the mount
unto the people, and
sanctified the people; and they washed their
clothes.
19:15 And he said unto the people, Be ready
against the third day:
come not at your wives.
19:16 And it came to pass on the third day
in the morning, that there
were thunders and lightnings, and a thick
cloud upon the mount, and
the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so
that all the people that
was in the camp trembled.
19:17 And Moses brought forth the people out
of the camp to meet with
God; and they stood at the nether part of
the mount.
19:18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a
smoke, because the LORD
descended upon it in fire: and the smoke
thereof ascended as the smoke
of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked
greatly.
19:19 And when the voice of the trumpet
sounded long, and waxed louder
and louder, Moses spake, and God answered
him by a voice.
19:20 And the LORD came down upon mount
Sinai, on the top of the
mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the
top of the mount; and Moses
went up.
19:21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down,
charge the people, lest
they break through unto the LORD to gaze,
and many of them perish.
19:22 And let the priests also, which come
near to the LORD, sanctify
themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon
them.
19:23 And Moses said unto the LORD, The
people cannot come up to mount
Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set
bounds about the mount, and
sanctify it.
19:24 And the LORD said unto him, Away, get
thee down, and thou shalt
come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let
not the priests and the
people break through to come up unto the
LORD, lest he break forth
upon them.
19:25 So Moses went down unto the people,
and spake unto them. |
