come into thine house, and into thy
bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:

teem with frogs, and they will
come into your palace and up to your
bedroom and

kneading bowls.

come up
onto the land of Egypt.’”

livestock and everything you have in the field. Every man or beast that remains in the field and is not brought inside will die when the
hail comes down upon them.’”

come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every
herb of the land, even all that the
hail hath left.

swarm over it and
devour every plant in the land—everything that the
hail has left behind.”
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.
Even our
livestock must go with us; not a
hoof will be left behind, for we will need some of them to worship the LORD our God, and we will not know how we are to worship the LORD until we arrive.”
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.

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.
When the LORD passes through to strike down the Egyptians, He will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that

ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.

And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.
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.

vigil that night to bring them out of the land of Egypt, this same night is to be a
vigil to the LORD, to be observed by all the Israelites for the generations to
come.

sojourn with thee, and will keep the

come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no
uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Then all the Israelites did this—they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

matrix, and every
firstling that
cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD’S.

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

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.

chariots and
horsemen.”
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.
saying, “If you will
listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His eyes, and pay attention to His
commands, and keep all His statutes, then I will not bring on you any of the diseases I inflicted on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”

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.
This is what the LORD has
commanded: ‘Each one is to gather as much as he needs. You may take an
omer for each person in your tent.’”
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.
He told them, “This is what the LORD has said: ‘
Tomorrow is to be a day of
complete rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. So
bake what you want to
bake, and
boil what you want to
boil. Then set aside whatever remains and keep it until morning.’”

bade: and it did not
stink, neither was there any worm therein.
So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.

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.
Moses said, “This is what the LORD has
commanded: ‘Keep an
omer of
manna for the generations to
come, so that they may see the bread I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”
And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an
omer full of
manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
So Moses told Aaron, “Take a
jar and fill it with an
omer of
manna. Then place it before the LORD to be preserved for the generations to
come.”
As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
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.
Then the whole congregation of Israel left the Desert of Sin, moving from place to place as the LORD
commanded. They camped at
Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.
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.
Behold, I will stand there before you by the rock at
Horeb. And when you strike the rock, water will
come out of it for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel.
And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
He sent word to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons.”
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.
Then Moses recounted to his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardships they had
encountered along the way, and how the LORD had delivered them.
And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people
come unto me to
enquire of God:
“Because the people come to me to inquire of God,” Moses replied.
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.
“Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought to me to judge between one man and another, and I make known to them the statutes and laws of God.”
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.
If you follow this advice and God so directs you, then you will be able to
endure, and all these people can go home in peace.”
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.
After they had set out from
Rephidim, they entered the Wilderness of
Sinai, and Israel camped there in front of the mountain.
And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.
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.
The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you, and they will always put their trust in you.” And Moses relayed to the LORD what the people had said.
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.

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.
No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with arrows—whether man or beast, he must not live.’ Only when the ram’s horn sounds a long blast may they approach the mountain.”
And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
“Be prepared for the third day,” he said to the people. “Do not draw near to a woman.”
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.

Sinai was
completely enveloped in smoke, because the LORD had descended on it in fire. And the smoke rose like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain
quaked violently.
And let the priests also, which
come near to the LORD,
sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
Even the priests who approach the LORD must
consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them.”
And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot
come up to mount
Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and
sanctify it.
But Moses said to the LORD, “The people cannot
come up Mount
Sinai, for You solemnly
warned us, ‘Put a boundary around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’”
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.
And the LORD replied, “Go down and bring Aaron with you. But the priests and the people must not break through to come up to the LORD, or He will break out against them.”
And

commandments.
but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
“Do not be afraid,” Moses replied. “For God has
come to test you, so that the fear of Him may be before you, to keep you from
sinning.”
An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice
thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will
come unto thee, and I will
bless thee.
You are to make for Me an altar of earth, and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep and goats and cattle. In every place where I cause My name to be remembered, I will
come to you and
bless you.
But if a man
come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to
slay him with
guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
But if a man schemes and acts
willfully against his
neighbor to kill him, you must take him away from My altar to be put to death.
If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that
smote him be
quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly
healed.
then the one who struck him shall go unpunished, as long as the other can get up and walk around outside with his staff. Nevertheless, he must
compensate the man for his lost work and see that he is
completely healed.
And if a man
smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his
maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake.
If a man strikes and blinds the eye of his
manservant or
maidservant, he must let the servant go free as
compensation for the eye.
And if he knocks out the tooth of his
manservant or
maidservant, he must let the servant go free as
compensation for the tooth.
Or if it be known that the ox hath used to
push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.
But if it was known that the ox had a habit of
goring, yet its owner failed to restrain it, he shall pay full
compensation, ox for ox, and the dead animal will be his.
For all manner of
trespass, whether it be for ox, for
ass, for sheep, for
raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall
come before the judges; and whom the judges shall
condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.
In all cases of
illegal possession of an ox, a
donkey, a sheep, a garment, or any lost
item that someone claims, ‘This is mine,’ both parties shall bring their cases before the judges. The one whom the judges find guilty must pay back double to his
neighbor.
If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the
dowry of virgins.
If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, the man still must pay an amount
comparable to the
bridal price of a virgin.
For that is his covering only, it is his
raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall
come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am
gracious.
because his
cloak is the only covering he has for his body. What else will he sleep in? And if he
cries out to Me, I will hear, for I am
compassionate.

unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat
unleavened bread seven days, as I
commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month
Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
You are to keep the Feast of
Unleavened Bread as I
commanded you: At the appointed time in the month of
Abib you are to eat
unleavened bread for seven days, because that was the month you came out of Egypt. No one may appear before Me empty-handed.
I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.
I will send My terror
ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you
encounter. I will make all your enemies turn and run.
And he said unto Moses,
Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron,
Nadab, and
Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye
afar off.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “
Come up to the LORD—you and Aaron,
Nadab and
Abihu, and seventy of Israel’s elders—and you are to worship at a distance.
And Moses alone shall
come near the LORD: but they shall not
come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
Moses alone shall approach the LORD, but the others must not come near. And the people may not go up with him.”
And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay here, so that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”
And he said unto the elders,
Tarry ye here for us, until we
come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him
come unto them.
And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we return to you. Aaron and Hur are here with you.
Whoever has a dispute can go to them.”

cherubim that are over the ark of the Testimony; I will speak with you about all that I
command you regarding the Israelites.
And six branches shall
come out of the sides of it; three branches of the
candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the
candlestick out of the other side:
Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other.
Three
bowls made like unto almonds, with a
knop and a flower in one branch; and three
bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a
knop and a flower: so in the six branches that
come out of the
candlestick.
There are to be three cups shaped like
almond blossoms on the first branch, each with buds and petals, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches that extend from the lampstand.
And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of the altar.

In the tabernacle of the congregation without the
vail, which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order it from evening to morning before the LORD: it shall be a statute for ever unto their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.

veil that is in front of the Testimony, Aaron and his sons are to tend the lamps before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the Israelites for the generations to
come.
And thou shalt put in the
breastplate of judgment the
Urim and the
Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron’s heart, when he goeth in before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.
And place the
Urim and
Thummim in the breastpiece of judgment, so that they will also be over Aaron’s heart whenever he
comes before the LORD. Aaron will continually carry the judgment of the sons of Israel over his heart before the LORD.
And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he die not.
Aaron must wear the
robe whenever he ministers, and its sound will be heard when he enters or exits the sanctuary before the LORD, so that he will not die.
And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto him and his seed after him.
Aaron and his sons must wear them whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting or approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they will not
incur guilt and die. This is to be a permanent statute for Aaron and his descendants.

stead shall put them on seven days, when he
cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy place.
The son who succeeds him as priest and enters the Tent of Meeting to minister in the Holy Place must wear them for seven days.

commanded thee: seven days shalt thou
consecrate them.
This is what you are to do for Aaron and his sons based on all that I have
commanded you, taking seven days to
ordain them.
This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.

come.
When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a
ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.
“When you take a census of the Israelites to number them, each man must pay the LORD a
ransom for his life when he is counted. Then no plague will
come upon them when they are numbered.
When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD:
Whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting or approach the altar to minister by presenting an offering made by fire to the LORD, they must wash with water so that they will not die.
So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
Thus they are to wash their hands and feet so that they will not die; this shall be a permanent statute for Aaron and his descendants for the generations to come.”
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy
anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘This will be My sacred
anointing oil for the generations to
come.
Upon man’s flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.
It must not be used to
anoint an ordinary man, and you must not make anything like it with the same formula. It is holy, and it must be holy to you.
Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or
whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
Anyone who mixes
perfume like it or puts it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.’”
And as for the
perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to
yourselves according to the
composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the LORD.
You are never to use this formula to make incense for
yourselves; you shall regard it as holy to the LORD.
And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of
Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have
commanded thee;
Moreover, I have selected Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of
Dan, as his assistant. I have also given skill to all the
craftsmen, that they may fashion all that I have
commanded you:
And the
anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have
commanded thee shall they do.
in addition to the
anointing oil and
fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them according to all that I have
commanded you.”
Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying,
Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that
doth sanctify you.
“Tell the Israelites, ‘Surely you must keep My Sabbaths, for this will be a sign between Me and you for the generations to come, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD:
whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
For six days work may be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of
complete rest, holy to the LORD.
Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must surely be put to death.
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
The Israelites must keep the Sabbath,
celebrating it as a permanent covenant for the generations to
come.
And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of
communing with him upon mount
Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
When the LORD had finished speaking with Moses on Mount
Sinai, He gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to
come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we
wot not what is become of him.
Now when the people saw that Moses was delayed in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him!”
They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I
commanded them: they have made them a
molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed
thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
How quickly they have turned aside from the way that I
commanded them! They have made for themselves a
molten calf and have bowed down to it. They have sacrificed to it and said, ‘These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”
Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD’S side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
So Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “
Whoever is for the LORD,
come to me.” And all the Levites gathered around him.
And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and
slay every man his brother, and every man his
companion, and every man his neighbour.
He told them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each of you men is to
fasten his sword to his side, go back and forth through the camp from gate to gate, and
slay his brother, his friend, and his
neighbor.’”
