1 The First Book of Moses, called Genesis
2
3 {1:1} In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. {1:2}
4 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the
5 face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the
6 waters.
7
8 {1:3} And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. {1:4}
9 And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light
10 from the darkness. {1:5} And God called the light Day, and the darkness
11 he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
12
13 {1:6} And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the
14 waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. {1:7} And God
15 made the firmament, and divided the waters which [were] under the
16 firmament from the waters which [were] above the firmament: and it was
17 so. {1:8} And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the
18 morning were the second day.
19
20 {1:9} And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered
21 together unto one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so.
22 {1:10} And God called the dry [land] Earth; and the gathering together
23 of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that [it was] good. {1:11}
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed,
25 [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed [is] in
26 itself, upon the earth: and it was so. {1:12} And the earth brought
27 forth grass, [and] herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree
28 yielding fruit, whose seed [was] in itself, after his kind: and God saw
29 that [it was] good. {1:13} And the evening and the morning were the
30 third day.
31
32 {1:14} And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the
33 heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and
34 for seasons, and for days, and years: {1:15} And let them be for lights
35 in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was
36 so. {1:16} And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the
37 day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.
38 {1:17} And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light
39 upon the earth, {1:18} And to rule over the day and over the night, and
40 to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that [it was] good.
41 {1:19} And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. {1:20} And
42 God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature
43 that hath life, and fowl [that] may fly above the earth in the open
44 firmament of heaven. {1:21} And God created great whales, and every
45 living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly,
46 after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw
47 that [it was] good. {1:22} And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful,
48 and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in
49 the earth. {1:23} And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
50
51 {1:24} And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature
52 after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth
53 after his kind: and it was so. {1:25} And God made the beast of the
54 earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that
55 creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.
56
57 {1:26} And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
58 likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over
59 the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and
60 over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. {1:27} So God
61 created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him;
62 male and female created he them. {1:28} And God blessed them, and God
63 said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and
64 subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
65 fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
66
67 {1:29} And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing
68 seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the
69 which [is] the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for
70 meat. {1:30} And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the
71 air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein [there
72 is] life, [I have given] every green herb for meat: and it was so.
73 {1:31} And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was]
74 very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
75
76 {2:1} Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host
77 of them. {2:2} And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had
78 made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had
79 made. {2:3} And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because
80 that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
81
82 {2:4} These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth
83 when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and
84 the heavens, {2:5} And every plant of the field before it was in the
85 earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had
86 not caused it to rain upon the earth, and [there was] not a man to till
87 the ground. {2:6} But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered
88 the whole face of the ground. {2:7} And the LORD God formed man [of]
89 the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of
90 life; and man became a living soul.
91
92 {2:8} And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there
93 he put the man whom he had formed. {2:9} And out of the ground made the
94 LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for
95 food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of
96 knowledge of good and evil. {2:10} And a river went out of Eden to
97 water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four
98 heads. {2:11} The name of the first [is] Pison: that [is] it which
99 compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where [there is] gold; {2:12} And
100 the gold of that land [is] good: there [is] bdellium and the onyx
101 stone. {2:13} And the name of the second river [is] Gihon: the same
102 [is] it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. {2:14} And the name
103 of the third river [is] Hiddekel: that [is] it which goeth toward the
104 east of Assyria. And the fourth river [is] Euphrates. {2:15} And the
105 LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it
106 and to keep it. {2:16} And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of
107 every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: {2:17} But of the tree
108 of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the
109 day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
110
111 {2:18} And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should
112 be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. {2:19} And out of the
113 ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of
114 the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them:
115 and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name
116 thereof. {2:20} And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of
117 the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not
118 found an help meet for him. {2:21} And the LORD God caused a deep sleep
119 to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed
120 up the flesh instead thereof; {2:22} And the rib, which the LORD God
121 had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
122 {2:23} And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my
123 flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
124 {2:24} Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall
125 cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. {2:25} And they were
126 both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
127
128 {3:1} Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field
129 which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God
130 said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
131
132 {3:2} And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit
133 of the trees of the garden: {3:3} But of the fruit of the tree which
134 [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it,
135 neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. {3:4} And the serpent said unto
136 the woman, Ye shall not surely die: {3:5} For God doth know that in the
137 day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as
138 gods, knowing good and evil. {3:6} And when the woman saw that the tree
139 [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree
140 to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and
141 did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. {3:7}
142 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they [were]
143 naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
144 {3:8} And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in
145 the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the
146 presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. {3:9} And the
147 LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where [art] thou? {3:10}
148 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because
149 I [was] naked; and I hid myself. {3:11} And he said, Who told thee that
150 thou [wast] naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded
151 thee that thou shouldest not eat? {3:12} And the man said, The woman
152 whom thou gavest [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did
153 eat. {3:13} And the LORD God said unto the woman, What [is] this [that]
154 thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did
155 eat. {3:14} And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast
156 done this, thou [art] cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of
157 the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all
158 the days of thy life: {3:15} And I will put enmity between thee and the
159 woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and
160 thou shalt bruise his heel. {3:16} Unto the woman he said, I will
161 greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt
162 bring forth children; and thy desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he
163 shall rule over thee. {3:17} And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast
164 hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of
165 which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed [is]
166 the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat [of] it all the days
167 of thy life; {3:18} Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to
168 thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; {3:19} In the sweat of
169 thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for
170 out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou [art,] and unto dust shalt
171 thou return. {3:20} And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she
172 was the mother of all living. {3:21} Unto Adam also and to his wife did
173 the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. {3:22} And the LORD
174 God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and
175 evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of
176 life, and eat, and live for ever: {3:23} Therefore the LORD God sent
177 him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he
178 was taken. {3:24} So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of
179 the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every
180 way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
181
182 {4:1} And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain,
183 and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. {4:2} And she again bare
184 his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller
185 of the ground. {4:3} And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain
186 brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. {4:4} And
187 Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat
188 thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: {4:5}
189 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very
190 wroth, and his countenance fell. {4:6} And the LORD said unto Cain, Why
191 art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? {4:7} If thou doest
192 well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth
193 at the door. And unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule
194 over him. {4:8} And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to
195 pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his
196 brother, and slew him.
197
198 {4:9} And the LORD said unto Cain, Where [is] Abel thy brother? And
199 he said, I know not: [Am] I my brother's keeper? {4:10} And he said,
200 What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me
201 from the ground. {4:11} And now [art] thou cursed from the earth, which
202 hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
203 {4:12} When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto
204 thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the
205 earth. {4:13} And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment [is] greater
206 than I can bear. {4:14} Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from
207 the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be
208 a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass,
209 [that] every one that findeth me shall slay me. {4:15} And the LORD
210 said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be
211 taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any
212 finding him should kill him.
213
214 {4:16} And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in
215 the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. {4:17} And Cain knew his wife;
216 and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called
217 the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. {4:18} And unto
218 Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat
219 Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
220
221 {4:19} And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one [was]
222 Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. {4:20} And Adah bare Jabal: he
223 was the father of such as dwell in tents, and [of such as have] cattle.
224 {4:21} And his brother's name [was] Jubal: he was the father of all
225 such as handle the harp and organ. {4:22} And Zillah, she also bare
226 Tubal- cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and
227 the sister of Tubal-cain [was] Naamah. {4:23} And Lamech said unto his
228 wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto
229 my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my
230 hurt. {4:24} If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy
231 and sevenfold.
232
233 {4:25} And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called
234 his name Seth: For God, [said she,] hath appointed me another seed
235 instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. {4:26} And to Seth, to him also there
236 was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call
237 upon the name of the LORD.
238
239 {5:1} This [is] the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that
240 God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; {5:2} Male and
241 female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam,
242 in the day when they were created.
243
244 {5:3} And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat [a son]
245 in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: {5:4}
246 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred
247 years: and he begat sons and daughters: {5:5} And all the days that
248 Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. {5:6} And
249 Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: {5:7} And Seth
250 lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons
251 and daughters: {5:8} And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and
252 twelve years: and he died.
253
254 {5:9} And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan: {5:10} And Enos
255 lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat
256 sons and daughters: {5:11} And all the days of Enos were nine hundred
257 and five years: and he died.
258
259 {5:12} And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel: {5:13}
260 And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty
261 years, and begat sons and daughters: {5:14} And all the days of Cainan
262 were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.
263
264 {5:15} And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:
265 {5:16} And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and
266 thirty years, and begat sons and daughters: {5:17} And all the days of
267 Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.
268
269 {5:18} And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat
270 Enoch: {5:19} And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years,
271 and begat sons and daughters: {5:20} And all the days of Jared were
272 nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.
273
274 {5:21} And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
275 {5:22} And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three
276 hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: {5:23} And all the days of
277 Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: {5:24} And Enoch walked
278 with God: and he [was] not; for God took him. {5:25} And Methuselah
279 lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech: {5:26} And
280 Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two
281 years, and begat sons and daughters: {5:27} And all the days of
282 Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
283
284 {5:28} And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a
285 son: {5:29} And he called his name Noah, saying, This [same] shall
286 comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the
287 ground which the LORD hath cursed. {5:30} And Lamech lived after he
288 begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and
289 daughters: {5:31} And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy
290 and seven years: and he died. {5:32} And Noah was five hundred years
291 old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
292
293 {6:1} And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of
294 the earth, and daughters were born unto them, {6:2} That the sons of
295 God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them
296 wives of all which they chose. {6:3} And the LORD said, My spirit shall
297 not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days
298 shall be an hundred and twenty years. {6:4} There were giants in the
299 earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in
300 unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same
301 [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.
302
303 {6:5} And GOD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the
304 earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was]
305 only evil continually. {6:6} And it repented the LORD that he had made
306 man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. {6:7} And the LORD
307 said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the
308 earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of
309 the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. {6:8} But Noah
310 found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
311
312 {6:9} These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man [and]
313 perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God. {6:10} And Noah
314 begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. {6:11} The earth also was
315 corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. {6:12} And
316 God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh
317 had corrupted his way upon the earth. {6:13} And God said unto Noah,
318 The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with
319 violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
320
321 {6:14} Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the
322 ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. {6:15} And this
323 [is the fashion] which thou shalt make it [of:] The length of the ark
324 [shall be] three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and
325 the height of it thirty cubits. {6:16} A window shalt thou make to the
326 ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark
327 shalt thou set in the side thereof; [with] lower, second, and third
328 [stories] shalt thou make it. {6:17} And, behold, I, even I, do bring a
329 flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein [is] the
330 breath of life, from under heaven; [and] every thing that [is] in the
331 earth shall die. {6:18} But with thee will I establish my covenant; and
332 thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy
333 sons' wives with thee. {6:19} And of every living thing of all flesh,
334 two of every [sort] shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive
335 with thee; they shall be male and female. {6:20} Of fowls after their
336 kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the
337 earth after his kind, two of every [sort] shall come unto thee, to keep
338 [them] alive. {6:21} And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten,
339 and thou shalt gather [it] to thee; and it shall be for food for thee,
340 and for them. {6:22} Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded
341 him, so did he.
342
343 {7:1} And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into
344 the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
345 {7:2} Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male
346 and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male and
347 his female. {7:3} Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the
348 female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. {7:4} For
349 yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days
350 and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I
351 destroy from off the face of the earth. {7:5} And Noah did according
352 unto all that the LORD commanded him. {7:6} And Noah [was] six hundred
353 years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
354
355 {7:7} And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons'
356 wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. {7:8}
357 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean, and of fowls, and
358 of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, {7:9} There went in two
359 and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had
360 commanded Noah. {7:10} And it came to pass after seven days, that the
361 waters of the flood were upon the earth.
362
363 {7:11} In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second
364 month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the
365 fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were
366 opened. {7:12} And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty
367 nights. {7:13} In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and
368 Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his
369 sons with them, into the ark; {7:14} They, and every beast after his
370 kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing
371 that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his
372 kind, every bird of every sort. {7:15} And they went in unto Noah into
373 the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life.
374 {7:16} And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as
375 God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in. {7:17} And the flood
376 was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up
377 the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. {7:18} And the waters
378 prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went
379 upon the face of the waters. {7:19} And the waters prevailed
380 exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that [were] under
381 the whole heaven, were covered. {7:20} Fifteen cubits upward did the
382 waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. {7:21} And all flesh
383 died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of
384 beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and
385 every man: {7:22} All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life, of
386 all that [was] in the dry [land,] died. {7:23} And every living
387 substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both
388 man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven;
389 and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained [alive,]
390 and they that [were] with him in the ark. {7:24} And the waters
391 prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
392
393 {8:1} And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the
394 cattle that [was] with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over
395 the earth, and the waters asswaged; {8:2} The fountains also of the
396 deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven
397 was restrained; {8:3} And the waters returned from off the earth
398 continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters
399 were abated. {8:4} And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the
400 seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. {8:5} And
401 the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth
402 [month,] on the first [day] of the month, were the tops of the
403 mountains seen.
404
405 {8:6} And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened
406 the window of the ark which he had made: {8:7} And he sent forth a
407 raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from
408 off the earth. {8:8} Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the
409 waters were abated from off the face of the ground; {8:9} But the dove
410 found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into
411 the ark, for the waters [were] on the face of the whole earth: then he
412 put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the
413 ark. {8:10} And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth
414 the dove out of the ark; {8:11} And the dove came in to him in the
415 evening; and, lo, in her mouth [was] an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah
416 knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. {8:12} And he
417 stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned
418 not again unto him any more.
419
420 {8:13} And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in
421 the first [month,] the first [day] of the month, the waters were dried
422 up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and
423 looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry. {8:14} And in the
424 second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the
425 earth dried.
426
427 {8:15} And God spake unto Noah, saying, {8:16} Go forth of the ark,
428 thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. {8:17}
429 Bring forth with thee every living thing that [is] with thee, of all
430 flesh, [both] of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that
431 creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth,
432 and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. {8:18} And Noah went
433 forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: {8:19}
434 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, [and] whatsoever
435 creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
436
437 {8:20} And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every
438 clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on
439 the altar. {8:21} And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD
440 said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's
441 sake; for the imagination of man's heart [is] evil from his youth;
442 neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
443 {8:22} While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and
444 heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
445
446 {9:1} And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be
447 fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. {9:2} And the fear of
448 you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and
449 upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth [upon] the earth, and
450 upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
451 {9:3} Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the
452 green herb have I given you all things. {9:4} But flesh with the life
453 thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. {9:5} And
454 surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every
455 beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every
456 man's brother will I require the life of man. {9:6} Whoso sheddeth
457 man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God
458 made he man. {9:7} And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth
459 abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
460
461 {9:8} And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
462 {9:9} And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your
463 seed after you; {9:10} And with every living creature that [is] with
464 you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with
465 you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
466 {9:11} And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all
467 flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there
468 any more be a flood to destroy the earth. {9:12} And God said, This
469 [is] the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and
470 every living creature that [is] with you, for perpetual generations:
471 {9:13} I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a
472 covenant between me and the earth. {9:14} And it shall come to pass,
473 when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the
474 cloud: {9:15} And I will remember my covenant, which [is] between me
475 and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no
476 more become a flood to destroy all flesh. {9:16} And the bow shall be
477 in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the
478 everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh
479 that [is] upon the earth. {9:17} And God said unto Noah, This [is] the
480 token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all
481 flesh that [is] upon the earth.
482
483 {9:18} And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem,
484 and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. {9:19} These
485 [are] the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth
486 overspread. {9:20} And Noah began [to be] an husbandman, and he planted
487 a vineyard: {9:21} And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he
488 was uncovered within his tent. {9:22} And Ham, the father of Canaan,
489 saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
490 {9:23} And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid [it] upon both
491 their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their
492 father; and their faces [were] backward, and they saw not their
493 father's nakedness. {9:24} And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what
494 his younger son had done unto him. {9:25} And he said, Cursed [be]
495 Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. {9:26} And
496 he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his
497 servant. {9:27} God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the
498 tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
499
500 {9:28} And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
501 {9:29} And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and
502 he died.
503
504 {10:1} Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem,
505 Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. {10:2}
506 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal,
507 and Meshech, and Tiras. {10:3} And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and
508 Riphath, and Togarmah. {10:4} And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and
509 Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. {10:5} By these were the isles of the
510 Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after
511 their families, in their nations.
512
513 {10:6} And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
514 {10:7} And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah,
515 and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. {10:8} And
516 Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. {10:9} He
517 was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as
518 Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. {10:10} And the beginning of
519 his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of
520 Shinar. {10:11} Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded
521 Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, {10:12} And Resen between
522 Nineveh and Calah: the same [is] a great city. {10:13} And Mizraim
523 begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, {10:14} And
524 Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
525
526 {10:15} And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, {10:16} And
527 the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, {10:17} And the
528 Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, {10:18} And the Arvadite, and
529 the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the
530 Canaanites spread abroad. {10:19} And the border of the Canaanites was
531 from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto
532 Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha. {10:20}
533 These [are] the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues,
534 in their countries, [and] in their nations.
535
536 {10:21} Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the
537 brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were [children] born. {10:22}
538 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and
539 Aram. {10:23} And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and
540 Mash. {10:24} And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. {10:25}
541 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one [was] Peleg; for in
542 his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name [was] Joktan.
543 {10:26} And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazar-maveth, and
544 Jerah, {10:27} And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, {10:28} And Obal, and
545 Abimael, and Sheba, {10:29} And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all
546 these [were] the sons of Joktan. {10:30} And their dwelling was from
547 Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east. {10:31} These
548 [are] the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in
549 their lands, after their nations. {10:32} These [are] the families of
550 the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by
551 these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
552
553 {11:1} And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
554 {11:2} And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they
555 found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. {11:3} And
556 they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them
557 throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
558 {11:4} And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose
559 top [may reach] unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be
560 scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. {11:5} And the LORD
561 came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men
562 builded. {11:6} And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and
563 they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing
564 will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. {11:7} Go
565 to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may
566 not understand one another's speech. {11:8} So the LORD scattered them
567 abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to
568 build the city. {11:9} Therefore is the name of it called Babel;
569 because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and
570 from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the
571 earth.
572
573 {11:10} These [are] the generations of Shem: Shem [was] an hundred
574 years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: {11:11} And
575 Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons
576 and daughters. {11:12} And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and
577 begat Salah: {11:13} And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four
578 hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. {11:14} And
579 Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: {11:15} And Salah lived after
580 he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and
581 daughters. {11:16} And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat
582 Peleg: {11:17} And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and
583 thirty years, and begat sons and daughters. {11:18} And Peleg lived
584 thirty years, and begat Reu: {11:19} And Peleg lived after he begat Reu
585 two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters. {11:20} And
586 Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug: {11:21} And Reu lived
587 after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and
588 daughters. {11:22} And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
589 {11:23} And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and
590 begat sons and daughters. {11:24} And Nahor lived nine and twenty
591 years, and begat Terah: {11:25} And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an
592 hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. {11:26} And
593 Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
594
595 {11:27} Now these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram,
596 Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. {11:28} And Haran died before
597 his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
598 {11:29} And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife
599 [was] Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of
600 Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah. {11:30} But Sarai
601 was barren; she [had] no child. {11:31} And Terah took Abram his son,
602 and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law,
603 his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the
604 Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and
605 dwelt there. {11:32} And the days of Terah were two hundred and five
606 years: and Terah died in Haran.
607
608 {12:1} Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy
609 country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land
610 that I will shew thee: {12:2} And I will make of thee a great nation,
611 and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a
612 blessing: {12:3} And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him
613 that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be
614 blessed. {12:4} So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and
615 Lot went with him: and Abram [was] seventy and five years old when he
616 departed out of Haran. {12:5} And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot
617 his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and
618 the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into
619 the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
620
621 {12:6} And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem,
622 unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite [was] then in the land.
623 {12:7} And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I
624 give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who
625 appeared unto him. {12:8} And he removed from thence unto a mountain on
626 the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel on the west,
627 and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and
628 called upon the name of the LORD. {12:9} And Abram journeyed, going on
629 still toward the south.
630
631 {12:10} And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into
632 Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine [was] grievous in the land.
633 {12:11} And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt,
634 that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou [art] a
635 fair woman to look upon: {12:12} Therefore it shall come to pass, when
636 the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This [is] his wife:
637 and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. {12:13} Say, I
638 pray thee, thou [art] my sister: that it may be well with me for thy
639 sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
640
641 {12:14} And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt,
642 the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [was] very fair. {12:15} The
643 princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and
644 the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. {12:16} And he entreated
645 Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and
646 menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels. {12:17} And
647 the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of
648 Sarai Abram's wife. {12:18} And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What
649 [is] this [that] thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me
650 that she [was] thy wife? {12:19} Why saidst thou, She [is] my sister?
651 so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife,
652 take [her,] and go thy way. {12:20} And Pharaoh commanded [his] men
653 concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he
654 had.
655
656 {13:1} And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all
657 that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. {13:2} And Abram [was]
658 very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. {13:3} And he went on his
659 journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent
660 had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai; {13:4} Unto the
661 place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there
662 Abram called on the name of the LORD.
663
664 {13:5} And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds,
665 and tents. {13:6} And the land was not able to bear them, that they
666 might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could
667 not dwell together. {13:7} And there was a strife between the herdmen
668 of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite
669 and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land. {13:8} And Abram said unto
670 Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and
671 between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we [be] brethren. {13:9} [Is]
672 not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me:
673 if [thou wilt take] the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if
674 [thou depart] to the right hand, then I will go to the left. {13:10}
675 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it
676 [was] well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and
677 Gomorrah, [even] as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as
678 thou comest unto Zoar. {13:11} Then Lot chose him all the plain of
679 Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one
680 from the other. {13:12} Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot
681 dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched [his] tent toward
682 Sodom. {13:13} But the men of Sodom [were] wicked and sinners before
683 the LORD exceedingly.
684
685 {13:14} And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated
686 from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou
687 art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: {13:15} For
688 all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed
689 for ever. {13:16} And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so
690 that if a man can number the dust of the earth, [then] shall thy seed
691 also be numbered. {13:17} Arise, walk through the land in the length of
692 it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee. {13:18} Then
693 Abram removed [his] tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre,
694 which [is] in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
695
696 {14:1} And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar,
697 Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of
698 nations; {14:2} [That these] made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with
699 Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of
700 Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar. {14:3} All these were
701 joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea. {14:4}
702 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they
703 rebelled. {14:5} And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the
704 kings that [were] with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth
705 Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
706 {14:6} And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which [is]
707 by the wilderness. {14:7} And they returned, and came to En-mishpat,
708 which [is] Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and
709 also the Amorites that dwelt in Hazezon- tamar. {14:8} And there went
710 out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah,
711 and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same [is] Zoar;) and
712 they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim; {14:9} With
713 Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and
714 Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with
715 five. {14:10} And the vale of Siddim [was full of] slimepits; and the
716 kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that
717 remained fled to the mountain. {14:11} And they took all the goods of
718 Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way. {14:12}
719 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his
720 goods, and departed.
721
722 {14:13} And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the
723 Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of
724 Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these [were] confederate with Abram.
725 {14:14} And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he
726 armed his trained [servants,] born in his own house, three hundred and
727 eighteen, and pursued [them] unto Dan. {14:15} And he divided himself
728 against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and
729 pursued them unto Hobah, which [is] on the left hand of Damascus.
730 {14:16} And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his
731 brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
732
733 {14:17} And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return
734 from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that [were] with
735 him, at the valley of Shaveh, which [is] the king's dale. {14:18} And
736 Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he [was]
737 the priest of the most high God. {14:19} And he blessed him, and said,
738 Blessed [be] Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
739 {14:20} And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine
740 enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. {14:21} And the
741 king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods
742 to thyself. {14:22} And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up
743 mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and
744 earth, {14:23} That I will not [take] from a thread even to a
745 shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that [is] thine, lest
746 thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: {14:24} Save only that
747 which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went
748 with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
749
750 {15:1} After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a
751 vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I [am] thy shield, [and] thy exceeding
752 great reward. {15:2} And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me,
753 seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of
754 Damascus? {15:3} And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed:
755 and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. {15:4} And, behold, the
756 word of the LORD [came] unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir;
757 but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine
758 heir. {15:5} And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward
759 heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said
760 unto him, So shall thy seed be. {15:6} And he believed in the LORD; and
761 he counted it to him for righteousness. {15:7} And he said unto him, I
762 [am] the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee
763 this land to inherit it. {15:8} And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I
764 know that I shall inherit it? {15:9} And he said unto him, Take me an
765 heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram
766 of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon. {15:10} And
767 he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid
768 each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not. {15:11}
769 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
770 {15:12} And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram;
771 and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. {15:13} And he said
772 unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a
773 land [that is] not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict
774 them four hundred years; {15:14} And also that nation, whom they shall
775 serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great
776 substance. {15:15} And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou
777 shalt be buried in a good old age. {15:16} But in the fourth generation
778 they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites [is] not
779 yet full. {15:17} And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down,
780 and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that
781 passed between those pieces. {15:18} In the same day the LORD made a
782 covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from
783 the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: {15:19}
784 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, {15:20} And the
785 Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, {15:21} And the
786 Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
787
788 {16:1} Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an
789 handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name [was] Hagar. {16:2} And Sarai said
790 unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I
791 pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by
792 her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. {16:3} And Sarai
793 Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt
794 ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to
795 be his wife.
796
797 {16:4} And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she
798 saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
799 {16:5} And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong [be] upon thee: I have given
800 my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was
801 despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee. {16:6} But
802 Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid [is] in thy hand; do to her as
803 it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from
804 her face.
805
806 {16:7} And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in
807 the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. {16:8} And he said,
808 Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And
809 she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai. {16:9} And the
810 angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit
811 thyself under her hands. {16:10} And the angel of the LORD said unto
812 her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be
813 numbered for multitude. {16:11} And the angel of the LORD said unto
814 her, Behold, thou [art] with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt
815 call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
816 {16:12} And he will be a wild man; his hand [will be] against every
817 man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the
818 presence of all his brethren. {16:13} And she called the name of the
819 LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also
820 here looked after him that seeth me? {16:14} Wherefore the well was
821 called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, [it is] between Kadesh and Bered.
822
823 {16:15} And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name,
824 which Hagar bare, Ishmael. {16:16} And Abram [was] fourscore and six
825 years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
826
827 {17:1} And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD
828 appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I [am] the Almighty God; walk
829 before me, and be thou perfect. {17:2} And I will make my covenant
830 between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. {17:3} And
831 Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, {17:4} As for
832 me, behold, my covenant [is] with thee, and thou shalt be a father of
833 many nations. {17:5} Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram,
834 but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made
835 thee. {17:6} And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make
836 nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. {17:7} And I will
837 establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in
838 their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee,
839 and to thy seed after thee. {17:8} And I will give unto thee, and to
840 thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land
841 of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
842
843 {17:9} And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant
844 therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. {17:10}
845 This [is] my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy
846 seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
847 {17:11} And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it
848 shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. {17:12} And he
849 that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child
850 in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money
851 of any stranger, which [is] not of thy seed. {17:13} He that is born in
852 thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be
853 circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting
854 covenant. {17:14} And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his
855 foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his
856 people; he hath broken my covenant.
857
858 {17:15} And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt
859 not call her name Sarai, but Sarah [shall] her name [be. ]{17:16} And I
860 will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her,
861 and she shall be [a mother] of nations; kings of people shall be of
862 her. {17:17} Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in
863 his heart, Shall [a child] be born unto him that is an hundred years
864 old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? {17:18} And
865 Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! {17:19}
866 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou
867 shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him
868 for an everlasting covenant, [and] with his seed after him. {17:20} And
869 as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will
870 make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes
871 shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. {17:21} But my
872 covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee
873 at this set time in the next year. {17:22} And he left off talking with
874 him, and God went up from Abraham.
875
876 {17:23} And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in
877 his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among
878 the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin
879 in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him. {17:24} And Abraham
880 [was] ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh
881 of his foreskin. {17:25} And Ishmael his son [was] thirteen years old,
882 when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. {17:26} In the
883 selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. {17:27} And
884 all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of
885 the stranger, were circumcised with him.
886
887 {18:1} And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he
888 sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; {18:2} And he lift up his
889 eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw
890 [them,] he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself
891 toward the ground, {18:3} And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour
892 in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: {18:4} Let
893 a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest
894 yourselves under the tree: {18:5} And I will fetch a morsel of bread,
895 and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore
896 are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
897 {18:6} And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make
898 ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead [it,] and make cakes
899 upon the hearth. {18:7} And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a
900 calf tender and good, and gave [it] unto a young man; and he hasted to
901 dress it. {18:8} And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he
902 had dressed, and set [it] before them; and he stood by them under the
903 tree, and they did eat.
904
905 {18:9} And they said unto him, Where [is] Sarah thy wife? And he
906 said, Behold, in the tent. {18:10} And he said, I will certainly return
907 unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall
908 have a son. And Sarah heard [it] in the tent door, which [was] behind
909 him. {18:11} Now Abraham and Sarah [were] old [and] well stricken in
910 age; [and] it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
911 {18:12} Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am
912 waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? {18:13} And
913 the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I
914 of a surety bear a child, which am old? {18:14} Is any thing too hard
915 for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according
916 to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. {18:15} Then Sarah
917 denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay;
918 but thou didst laugh.
919
920 {18:16} And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom:
921 and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. {18:17} And the
922 LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; {18:18}
923 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and
924 all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? {18:19} For I
925 know him, that he will command his children and his household after
926 him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and
927 judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath
928 spoken of him. {18:20} And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and
929 Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; {18:21} I
930 will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according
931 to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
932 {18:22} And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward
933 Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. {18:23} And Abraham drew
934 near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
935 {18:24} Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt
936 thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that
937 [are] therein? {18:25} That be far from thee to do after this manner,
938 to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be
939 as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the
940 earth do right? {18:26} And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty
941 righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their
942 sakes. {18:27} And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken
943 upon me to speak unto the Lord, which [am but] dust and ashes: {18:28}
944 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou
945 destroy all the city for [lack of] five? And he said, If I find there
946 forty and five, I will not destroy [it. ]{18:29} And he spake unto him
947 yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And
948 he said, I will not do [it] for forty's sake. {18:30} And he said [unto
949 him,] Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure
950 there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do [it,] if
951 I find thirty there. {18:31} And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon
952 me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found
953 there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for twenty's sake. {18:32}
954 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but
955 this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will
956 not destroy [it] for ten's sake. {18:33} And the LORD went his way, as
957 soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto
958 his place.
959
960 {19:1} And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in
961 the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing [them] rose up to meet them; and he
962 bowed himself with his face toward the ground; {19:2} And he said,
963 Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house,
964 and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early,
965 and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the
966 street all night. {19:3} And he pressed upon them greatly; and they
967 turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a
968 feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
969
970 {19:4} But before they lay down, the men of the city, [even] the men
971 of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people
972 from every quarter: {19:5} And they called unto Lot, and said unto him,
973 Where [are] the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out
974 unto us, that we may know them. {19:6} And Lot went out at the door
975 unto them, and shut the door after him, {19:7} And said, I pray you,
976 brethren, do not so wickedly. {19:8} Behold now, I have two daughters
977 which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you,
978 and do ye to them as [is] good in your eyes: only unto these men do
979 nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. {19:9}
980 And they said, Stand back. And they said [again,] This one [fellow]
981 came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal
982 worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man,
983 [even] Lot, and came near to break the door. {19:10} But the men put
984 forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to
985 the door. {19:11} And they smote the men that [were] at the door of the
986 house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied
987 themselves to find the door.
988
989 {19:12} And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son
990 in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in
991 the city, bring [them] out of this place: {19:13} For we will destroy
992 this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of
993 the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it. {19:14} And Lot went
994 out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and
995 said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this
996 city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
997
998 {19:15} And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot,
999 saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here;
1000 lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. {19:16} And while he
1001 lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his
1002 wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful
1003 unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
1004
1005 {19:17} And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth
1006 abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee,
1007 neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou
1008 be consumed. {19:18} And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
1009 {19:19} Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou
1010 hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my
1011 life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and
1012 I die: {19:20} Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a
1013 little one: Oh, let me escape thither, ([is] it not a little one?) and
1014 my soul shall live. {19:21} And he said unto him, See, I have accepted
1015 thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city,
1016 for the which thou hast spoken. {19:22} Haste thee, escape thither; for
1017 I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of
1018 the city was called Zoar.
1019
1020 {19:23} The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
1021 {19:24} Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and
1022 fire from the LORD out of heaven; {19:25} And he overthrew those
1023 cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and
1024 that which grew upon the ground.
1025
1026 {19:26} But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a
1027 pillar of salt.
1028
1029 {19:27} And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where
1030 he stood before the LORD: {19:28} And he looked toward Sodom and
1031 Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo,
1032 the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
1033
1034 {19:29} And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the
1035 plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of
1036 the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
1037
1038 {19:30} And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and
1039 his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he
1040 dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. {19:31} And the firstborn
1041 said unto the younger, Our father [is] old, and [there is] not a man in
1042 the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: {19:32}
1043 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that
1044 we may preserve seed of our father. {19:33} And they made their father
1045 drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her
1046 father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
1047 {19:34} And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto
1048 the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him
1049 drink wine this night also; and go thou in, [and] lie with him, that we
1050 may preserve seed of our father. {19:35} And they made their father
1051 drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him;
1052 and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. {19:36}
1053 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. {19:37}
1054 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same [is]
1055 the father of the Moabites unto this day. {19:38} And the younger, she
1056 also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same [is] the father
1057 of the children of Ammon unto this day.
1058
1059 {20:1} And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country,
1060 and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. {20:2} And
1061 Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She [is] my sister: and Abimelech king
1062 of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. {20:3} But God came to Abimelech in a
1063 dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou [art but] a dead man, for
1064 the woman which thou hast taken; for she [is] a man's wife. {20:4} But
1065 Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also
1066 a righteous nation? {20:5} Said he not unto me, She [is] my sister? and
1067 she, even she herself said, He [is] my brother: in the integrity of my
1068 heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. {20:6} And God said
1069 unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity
1070 of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me:
1071 therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. {20:7} Now therefore
1072 restore the man [his] wife; for he [is] a prophet, and he shall pray
1073 for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore [her] not, know thou
1074 that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that [are] thine. {20:8}
1075 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his
1076 servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were
1077 sore afraid. {20:9} Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him,
1078 What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou
1079 hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds
1080 unto me that ought not to be done. {20:10} And Abimelech said unto
1081 Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? {20:11} And
1082 Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God [is] not in
1083 this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake. {20:12} And yet
1084 indeed [she is] my sister; she [is] the daughter of my father, but not
1085 the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. {20:13} And it came
1086 to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I
1087 said unto her, This [is] thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at
1088 every place whither we shall come, say of me, He [is] my brother.
1089 {20:14} And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and
1090 womenservants, and gave [them] unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his
1091 wife. {20:15} And Abimelech said, Behold, my land [is] before thee:
1092 dwell where it pleaseth thee. {20:16} And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I
1093 have given thy brother a thousand [pieces] of silver: behold, he [is]
1094 to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that [are] with thee, and with
1095 all [other:] thus she was reproved.
1096
1097 {20:17} So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and
1098 his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare [children. ]{20:18} For
1099 the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech,
1100 because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
1101
1102 {21:1} And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did
1103 unto Sarah as he had spoken. {21:2} For Sarah conceived, and bare
1104 Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken
1105 to him. {21:3} And Abraham called the name of his son that was born
1106 unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. {21:4} And Abraham circumcised
1107 his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him. {21:5}
1108 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto
1109 him.
1110
1111 {21:6} And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, [so that] all that
1112 hear will laugh with me. {21:7} And she said, Who would have said unto
1113 Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born
1114 [him] a son in his old age. {21:8} And the child grew, and was weaned:
1115 and Abraham made a great feast the [same] day that Isaac was weaned.
1116
1117 {21:9} And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had
1118 born unto Abraham, mocking. {21:10} Wherefore she said unto Abraham,
1119 Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman
1120 shall not be heir with my son, [even] with Isaac. {21:11} And the thing
1121 was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
1122
1123 {21:12} And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy
1124 sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that
1125 Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall
1126 thy seed be called. {21:13} And also of the son of the bondwoman will I
1127 make a nation, because he [is] thy seed. {21:14} And Abraham rose up
1128 early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave
1129 [it] unto Hagar, putting [it] on her shoulder, and the child, and sent
1130 her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of
1131 Beer-sheba. {21:15} And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast
1132 the child under one of the shrubs. {21:16} And she went, and sat her
1133 down over against [him] a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she
1134 said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against
1135 [him,] and lift up her voice, and wept. {21:17} And God heard the voice
1136 of the lad; and the angel of God called Hagar out of heaven, and said
1137 unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the
1138 voice of the lad where he [is. ]{21:18} Arise, lift up the lad, and
1139 hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation. {21:19} And
1140 God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and
1141 filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. {21:20} And God
1142 was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became
1143 an archer. {21:21} And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his
1144 mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
1145
1146 {21:22} And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol
1147 the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God [is] with
1148 thee in all that thou doest: {21:23} Now therefore swear unto me here
1149 by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor
1150 with my son's son: [but] according to the kindness that I have done
1151 unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast
1152 sojourned. {21:24} And Abraham said, I will swear. {21:25} And Abraham
1153 reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's
1154 servants had violently taken away. {21:26} And Abimelech said, I wot
1155 not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet
1156 heard I [of it,] but to day. {21:27} And Abraham took sheep and oxen,
1157 and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant. {21:28}
1158 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. {21:29} And
1159 Abimelech said unto Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe lambs which
1160 thou hast set by themselves? {21:30} And he said, For [these] seven ewe
1161 lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me,
1162 that I have digged this well. {21:31} Wherefore he called that place
1163 Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them. {21:32} Thus they
1164 made a covenant at Beer-sheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the
1165 chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the
1166 Philistines.
1167
1168 {21:33} And [Abraham] planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called
1169 there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God. {21:34} And Abraham
1170 sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
1171
1172 {22:1} And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt
1173 Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, [here] I [am.
1174 ]{22:2} And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son] Isaac, whom
1175 thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there
1176 for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee
1177 of.
1178
1179 {22:3} And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his
1180 ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and
1181 clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the
1182 place of which God had told him. {22:4} Then on the third day Abraham
1183 lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. {22:5} And Abraham said
1184 unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will
1185 go yonder and worship, and come again to you, {22:6} And Abraham took
1186 the wood of the burnt offering, and laid [it] upon Isaac his son; and
1187 he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them
1188 together. {22:7} And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My
1189 father: and he said, Here [am] I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire
1190 and the wood: but where [is] the lamb for a burnt offering? {22:8} And
1191 Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt
1192 offering: so they went both of them together. {22:9} And they came to
1193 the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there,
1194 and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on
1195 the altar upon the wood. {22:10} And Abraham stretched forth his hand,
1196 and took the knife to slay his son. {22:11} And the angel of the LORD
1197 called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said,
1198 Here [am] I. {22:12} And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad,
1199 neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest
1200 God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son] from me.
1201 {22:13} And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind
1202 [him] a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took
1203 the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his
1204 son. {22:14} And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh:
1205 as it is said [to] this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
1206
1207 {22:15} And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven
1208 the second time, {22:16} And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the
1209 LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy
1210 son, thine only [son: ]{22:17} That in blessing I will bless thee, and
1211 in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and
1212 as the sand which [is] upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess
1213 the gate of his enemies; {22:18} And in thy seed shall all the nations
1214 of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. {22:19} So
1215 Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together
1216 to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
1217
1218 {22:20} And it came to pass after these things, that it was told
1219 Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy
1220 brother Nahor; {22:21} Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and
1221 Kemuel the father of Aram, {22:22} And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash,
1222 and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. {22:23} And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these
1223 eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother. {22:24} And his
1224 concubine, whose name [was] Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and
1225 Thahash, and Maachah.
1226
1227 {23:1} And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old:
1228 [these were] the years of the life of Sarah. {23:2} And Sarah died in
1229 Kirjath-arba; the same [is] Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham
1230 came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
1231
1232 {23:3} And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the
1233 sons of Heth, saying, {23:4} I [am] a stranger and a sojourner with
1234 you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury
1235 my dead out of my sight. {23:5} And the children of Heth answered
1236 Abraham, saying unto him, {23:6} Hear us, my lord: thou [art] a mighty
1237 prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of
1238 us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury
1239 thy dead. {23:7} And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people
1240 of the land, [even] to the children of Heth. {23:8} And he communed
1241 with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of
1242 my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
1243 {23:9} That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which
1244 [is] in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall
1245 give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you. {23:10} And
1246 Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite
1247 answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, [even] of all
1248 that went in at the gate of his city, saying, {23:11} Nay, my lord,
1249 hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that [is] therein, I give
1250 it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury
1251 thy dead. {23:12} And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of
1252 the land. {23:13} And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the
1253 people of the land, saying, But if thou [wilt give it,] I pray thee,
1254 hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take [it] of me, and I
1255 will bury my dead there. {23:14} And Ephron answered Abraham, saying
1256 unto him, {23:15} My lord, hearken unto me: the land [is worth] four
1257 hundred shekels of silver; what [is] that betwixt me and thee? bury
1258 therefore thy dead. {23:16} And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and
1259 Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the
1260 audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current
1261 [money] with the merchant.
1262
1263 {23:17} And the field of Ephron, which [was] in Machpelah, which
1264 [was] before Mamre, the field, and the cave which [was] therein, and
1265 all the trees that [were] in the field, that [were] in all the borders
1266 round about, were made sure {23:18} Unto Abraham for a possession in
1267 the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the
1268 gate of his city. {23:19} And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife
1269 in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same [is]
1270 Hebron in the land of Canaan. {23:20} And the field, and the cave that
1271 [is] therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a
1272 buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
1273
1274 {24:1} And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and the LORD
1275 had blessed Abraham in all things. {24:2} And Abraham said unto his
1276 eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I
1277 pray thee, thy hand under my thigh: {24:3} And I will make thee swear
1278 by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou
1279 shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites,
1280 among whom I dwell: {24:4} But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my
1281 kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac. {24:5} And the servant said
1282 unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto
1283 this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence
1284 thou camest? {24:6} And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou
1285 bring not my son thither again.
1286
1287 {24:7} The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house,
1288 and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that
1289 sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall
1290 send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from
1291 thence. {24:8} And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee,
1292 then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son
1293 thither again. {24:9} And the servant put his hand under the thigh of
1294 Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
1295
1296 {24:10} And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master,
1297 and departed; for all the goods of his master [were] in his hand: and
1298 he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor. {24:11} And
1299 he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at
1300 the time of the evening, [even] the time that women go out to draw
1301 [water. ]{24:12} And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray
1302 thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master
1303 Abraham. {24:13} Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water; and the
1304 daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water: {24:14} And
1305 let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy
1306 pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I
1307 will give thy camels drink also: [let the same be] she [that] thou hast
1308 appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou
1309 hast shewed kindness unto my master.
1310
1311 {24:15} And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that,
1312 behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the
1313 wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
1314 {24:16} And the damsel [was] very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither
1315 had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her
1316 pitcher, and came up. {24:17} And the servant ran to meet her, and
1317 said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. {24:18}
1318 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher
1319 upon her hand, and gave him drink. {24:19} And when she had done giving
1320 him drink, she said, I will draw [water] for thy camels also, until
1321 they have done drinking. {24:20} And she hasted, and emptied her
1322 pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw [water,]
1323 and drew for all his camels. {24:21} And the man wondering at her held
1324 his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or
1325 not. {24:22} And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that
1326 the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two
1327 bracelets for her hands of ten [shekels] weight of gold; {24:23} And
1328 said, Whose daughter [art] thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room
1329 [in] thy father's house for us to lodge in? {24:24} And she said unto
1330 him, I [am] the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare
1331 unto Nahor. {24:25} She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and
1332 provender enough, and room to lodge in. {24:26} And the man bowed down
1333 his head, and worshipped the LORD. {24:27} And he said, Blessed [be]
1334 the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my
1335 master of his mercy and his truth: I [being] in the way, the LORD led
1336 me to the house of my master's brethren. {24:28} And the damsel ran,
1337 and told [them of] her mother's house these things.
1338
1339 {24:29} And Rebekah had a brother, and his name [was] Laban: and
1340 Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well. {24:30} And it came to pass,
1341 when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when
1342 he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man
1343 unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels
1344 at the well. {24:31} And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD;
1345 wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and
1346 room for the camels.
1347
1348 {24:32} And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels,
1349 and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his
1350 feet, and the men's feet that [were] with him. {24:33} And there was
1351 set [meat] before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have
1352 told mine errand. And he said, Speak on. {24:34} And he said, I [am]
1353 Abraham's servant. {24:35} And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly;
1354 and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and
1355 silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and
1356 asses. {24:36} And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when
1357 she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath. {24:37} And
1358 my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son
1359 of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell: {24:38} But
1360 thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a
1361 wife unto my son. {24:39} And I said unto my master, Peradventure the
1362 woman will not follow me. {24:40} And he said unto me, The LORD, before
1363 whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and
1364 thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's
1365 house: {24:41} Then shalt thou be clear from [this] my oath, when thou
1366 comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee [one,] thou shalt be
1367 clear from my oath. {24:42} And I came this day unto the well, and
1368 said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way
1369 which I go; {24:43} Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall
1370 come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw [water,] and I
1371 say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to
1372 drink; {24:44} And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw
1373 for thy camels: [let] the same [be] the woman whom the LORD hath
1374 appointed out for my master's son. {24:45} And before I had done
1375 speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on
1376 her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew [water:] and I
1377 said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee. {24:46} And she made haste,
1378 and let down her pitcher from her [shoulder,] and said, Drink, and I
1379 will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels
1380 drink also. {24:47} And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter [art]
1381 thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah
1382 bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets
1383 upon her hands. {24:48} And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the
1384 LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me
1385 in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
1386 {24:49} And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell
1387 me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the
1388 left. {24:50} Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing
1389 proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
1390 {24:51} Behold, Rebekah [is] before thee, take [her,] and go, and let
1391 her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken. {24:52} And it
1392 came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he
1393 worshipped the LORD, [bowing himself] to the earth. {24:53} And the
1394 servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and
1395 raiment, and gave [them] to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to
1396 her mother precious things. {24:54} And they did eat and drink, he and
1397 the men that [were] with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up
1398 in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master. {24:55} And
1399 her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us [a few]
1400 days, at the least ten; after that she shall go. {24:56} And he said
1401 unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send
1402 me away that I may go to my master. {24:57} And they said, We will call
1403 the damsel, and enquire at her mouth. {24:58} And they called Rebekah,
1404 and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
1405 {24:59} And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and
1406 Abraham's servant, and his men. {24:60} And they blessed Rebekah, and
1407 said unto her, Thou [art] our sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands
1408 of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
1409
1410 {24:61} And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the
1411 camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went
1412 his way. {24:62} And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai-roi; for
1413 he dwelt in the south country. {24:63} And Isaac went out to meditate
1414 in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and,
1415 behold, the camels [were] coming. {24:64} And Rebekah lifted up her
1416 eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. {24:65} For
1417 she [had] said unto the servant, What man [is] this that walketh in the
1418 field to meet us? And the servant [had] said, It [is] my master:
1419 therefore she took a vail, and covered herself. {24:66} And the servant
1420 told Isaac all things that he had done. {24:67} And Isaac brought her
1421 into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his
1422 wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's
1423 [death.]
1424
1425 {25:1} Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name [was] Keturah.
1426 {25:2} And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and
1427 Ishbak, and Shuah. {25:3} And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the
1428 sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. {25:4} And the
1429 sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah.
1430 All these [were] the children of Keturah.
1431
1432 {25:5} And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. {25:6} But unto
1433 the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and
1434 sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto
1435 the east country. {25:7} And these [are] the days of the years of
1436 Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
1437 {25:8} Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an
1438 old man, and full [of years;] and was gathered to his people. {25:9}
1439 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in
1440 the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which [is] before
1441 Mamre; {25:10} The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth:
1442 there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
1443
1444 {25:11} And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God
1445 blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.
1446
1447 {25:12} Now these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son,
1448 whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham: {25:13}
1449 And these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names,
1450 according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and
1451 Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, {25:14} And Mishma, and Dumah, and
1452 Massa, {25:15} Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: {25:16}
1453 These [are] the sons of Ishmael, and these [are] their names, by their
1454 towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
1455 {25:17} And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred
1456 and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was
1457 gathered unto his people. {25:18} And they dwelt from Havilah unto
1458 Shur, that [is] before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: [and] he
1459 died in the presence of all his brethren.
1460
1461 {25:19} And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son:
1462 Abraham begat Isaac: {25:20} And Isaac was forty years old when he took
1463 Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the
1464 sister to Laban the Syrian. {25:21} And Isaac intreated the LORD for
1465 his wife, because she [was] barren: and the LORD was intreated of him,
1466 and Rebekah his wife conceived. {25:22} And the children struggled
1467 together within her; and she said, If [it be] so, why [am] I thus? And
1468 she went to enquire of the LORD. {25:23} And the LORD said unto her,
1469 Two nations [are] in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be
1470 separated from thy bowels; and [the one] people shall be stronger than
1471 [the other] people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
1472
1473 {25:24} And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold,
1474 [there were] twins in her womb. {25:25} And the first came out red, all
1475 over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. {25:26} And
1476 after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel;
1477 and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac [was] threescore years old
1478 when she bare them. {25:27} And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning
1479 hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob [was] a plain man, dwelling in
1480 tents. {25:28} And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of [his]
1481 venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
1482
1483 {25:29} And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he
1484 [was] faint: {25:30} And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with
1485 that same red [pottage;] for I [am] faint: therefore was his name
1486 called Edom. {25:31} And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
1487 {25:32} And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and what
1488 profit shall this birthright do to me? {25:33} And Jacob said, Swear to
1489 me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto
1490 Jacob. {25:34} Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and
1491 he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised
1492 [his] birthright.
1493
1494 {26:1} And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine
1495 that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of
1496 the Philistines unto Gerar. {26:2} And the LORD appeared unto him, and
1497 said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee
1498 of: {26:3} Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will
1499 bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these
1500 countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy
1501 father; {26:4} And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of
1502 heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy
1503 seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; {26:5} Because that
1504 Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my
1505 statutes, and my laws.
1506
1507 {26:6} And Isaac dwelt in Gerar: {26:7} And the men of the place
1508 asked [him] of his wife; and he said, She [is] my sister: for he feared
1509 to say, [She is] my wife; lest, [said he,] the men of the place should
1510 kill me for Rebekah; because she [was] fair to look upon. {26:8} And it
1511 came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king
1512 of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac
1513 [was] sporting with Rebekah his wife. {26:9} And Abimelech called
1514 Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she [is] thy wife: and how saidst
1515 thou, She [is] my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest
1516 I die for her. {26:10} And Abimelech said, What [is] this thou hast
1517 done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife,
1518 and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. {26:11} And
1519 Abimelech charged all [his] people, saying, He that toucheth this man
1520 or his wife shall surely be put to death. {26:12} Then Isaac sowed in
1521 that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD
1522 blessed him. {26:13} And the man waxed great, and went forward, and
1523 grew until he became very great: {26:14} For he had possession of
1524 flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the
1525 Philistines envied him. {26:15} For all the wells which his father's
1526 servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines
1527 had stopped them, and filled them with earth. {26:16} And Abimelech
1528 said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
1529
1530 {26:17} And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the
1531 valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. {26:18} And Isaac digged again the
1532 wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his
1533 father; for the philistines had stopped them after the death of
1534 Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father
1535 had called them. {26:19} And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and
1536 found there a well of springing water. {26:20} And the herdmen of Gerar
1537 did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water [is] ours: and he
1538 called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him. {26:21}
1539 And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called
1540 the name of it Sitnah. {26:22} And he removed from thence, and digged
1541 another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of
1542 it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and
1543 we shall be fruitful in the land. {26:23} And he went up from thence to
1544 Beer-sheba. {26:24} And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and
1545 said, I [am] the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I [am] with
1546 thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant
1547 Abraham's sake. {26:25} And he builded an altar there, and called upon
1548 the name of the LORD and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's
1549 servants digged a well.
1550
1551 {26:26} Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of
1552 his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army. {26:27} And
1553 Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and
1554 have sent me away from you? {26:28} And they said, We saw certainly
1555 that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath
1556 betwixt us, [even] betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with
1557 thee; {26:29} That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched
1558 thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent
1559 thee away in peace: thou [art] now the blessed of the LORD. {26:30} And
1560 he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink. {26:31} And they rose
1561 up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent
1562 them away, and they departed from him in peace. {26:32} And it came to
1563 pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning
1564 the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.
1565 {26:33} And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city [is]
1566 Beer-sheba unto this day.
1567
1568 {26:34} And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the
1569 daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the
1570 Hittite: {26:35} Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
1571
1572 {27:1} And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes
1573 were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and
1574 said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, [here am] I.
1575 {27:2} And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my
1576 death: {27:3} Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver
1577 and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me [some] venison;
1578 {27:4} And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring [it] to me,
1579 that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. {27:5} And
1580 Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the
1581 field to hunt [for] venison, [and] to bring [it.]
1582
1583 {27:6} And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard
1584 thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying, {27:7} Bring me
1585 venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee
1586 before the LORD before my death. {27:8} Now therefore, my son, obey my
1587 voice according to that which I command thee. {27:9} Go now to the
1588 flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will
1589 make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth: {27:10} And
1590 thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may
1591 bless thee before his death. {27:11} And Jacob said to Rebekah his
1592 mother, Behold, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth
1593 man: {27:12} My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to
1594 him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a
1595 blessing. {27:13} And his mother said unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse,
1596 my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me [them. ]{27:14} And he
1597 went, and fetched, and brought [them] to his mother: and his mother
1598 made savoury meat, such as his father loved. {27:15} And Rebekah took
1599 goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which [were] with her in the
1600 house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son: {27:16} And she put the
1601 skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of
1602 his neck: {27:17} And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which
1603 she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
1604
1605 {27:18} And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he
1606 said, Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son? {27:19} And Jacob said unto
1607 his father, I [am] Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou
1608 badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul
1609 may bless me. {27:20} And Isaac said unto his son, How [is it] that
1610 thou hast found [it] so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD
1611 thy God brought [it] to me. {27:21} And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come
1612 near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou [be] my
1613 very son Esau or not. {27:22} And Jacob went near unto Isaac his
1614 father; and he felt him, and said, The voice [is] Jacob's voice, but
1615 the hands [are] the hands of Esau. {27:23} And he discerned him not,
1616 because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he
1617 blessed him. {27:24} And he said, [Art] thou my very son Esau? And he
1618 said, I [am. ]{27:25} And he said, Bring [it] near to me, and I will
1619 eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought
1620 [it] near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he
1621 drank. {27:26} And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and
1622 kiss me, my son. {27:27} And he came near, and kissed him: and he
1623 smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the
1624 smell of my son [is] as the smell of a field which the LORD hath
1625 blessed: {27:28} Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the
1626 fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: {27:29} Let people
1627 serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren,
1628 and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed [be] every one that
1629 curseth thee, and blessed [be] he that blesseth thee.
1630
1631 {27:30} And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of
1632 blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of
1633 Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
1634 {27:31} And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his
1635 father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his
1636 son's venison, that thy soul may bless me. {27:32} And Isaac his father
1637 said unto him, Who [art] thou? And he said, I [am] thy son, thy
1638 firstborn Esau. {27:33} And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said,
1639 Who? where [is] he that hath taken venison, and brought [it] me, and I
1640 have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, [and]
1641 he shall be blessed. {27:34} And when Esau heard the words of his
1642 father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto
1643 his father, Bless me, [even] me also, O my father. {27:35} And he said,
1644 Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
1645 {27:36} And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath
1646 supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold,
1647 now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved
1648 a blessing for me? {27:37} And Isaac answered and said unto Esau,
1649 Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to
1650 him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what
1651 shall I do now unto thee, my son? {27:38} And Esau said unto his
1652 father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, [even] me
1653 also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. {27:39} And
1654 Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall
1655 be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
1656 {27:40} And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother;
1657 and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou
1658 shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
1659
1660 {27:41} And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his
1661 father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning
1662 for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. {27:42}
1663 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she
1664 sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy
1665 brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, [purposing] to
1666 kill thee. {27:43} Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise,
1667 flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran; {27:44} And tarry with him a
1668 few days, until thy brother's fury turn away; {27:45} Until thy
1669 brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget [that] which thou
1670 hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why
1671 should I be deprived also of you both in one day? {27:46} And Rebekah
1672 said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth:
1673 if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these [which
1674 are] of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
1675
1676 {28:1} And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and
1677 said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
1678 {28:2} Arise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's
1679 father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy
1680 mother's brother. {28:3} And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee
1681 fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
1682 {28:4} And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed
1683 with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a
1684 stranger, which God gave unto Abraham. {28:5} And Isaac sent away
1685 Jacob: and he went to Padan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian,
1686 the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
1687
1688 {28:6} When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away
1689 to Padan-aram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed
1690 him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the
1691 daughters of Canaan; {28:7} And that Jacob obeyed his father and his
1692 mother, and was gone to Padan-aram; {28:8} And Esau seeing that the
1693 daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father; {28:9} Then went Esau
1694 unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the
1695 daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his
1696 wife.
1697
1698 {28:10} And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.
1699 {28:11} And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all
1700 night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that
1701 place, and [put] them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to
1702 sleep. {28:12} And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth,
1703 and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God
1704 ascending and descending on it. {28:13} And, behold, the LORD stood
1705 above it, and said, I [am] the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the
1706 God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and
1707 to thy seed; {28:14} And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth,
1708 and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the
1709 north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the
1710 families of the earth be blessed. {28:15} And, behold, I [am] with
1711 thee, and will keep thee in all [places] whither thou goest, and will
1712 bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I
1713 have done [that] which I have spoken to thee of.
1714
1715 {28:16} And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the
1716 LORD is in this place; and I knew [it] not. {28:17} And he was afraid,
1717 and said, How dreadful [is] this place! this is none other but the
1718 house of God, and this [is] the gate of heaven. {28:18} And Jacob rose
1719 up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put [for] his
1720 pillows, and set it up [for] a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of
1721 it. {28:19} And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name
1722 of that city [was called] Luz at the first. {28:20} And Jacob vowed a
1723 vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that
1724 I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, {28:21} So
1725 that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be
1726 my God: {28:22} And this stone, which I have set [for] a pillar, shall
1727 be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give
1728 the tenth unto thee.
1729
1730 {29:1} Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the
1731 people of the east. {29:2} And he looked, and behold a well in the
1732 field, and, lo, there [were] three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out
1733 of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone [was] upon the
1734 well's mouth. {29:3} And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they
1735 rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put
1736 the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place. {29:4} And Jacob
1737 said unto them, My brethren, whence [be] ye? And they said, Of Haran
1738 [are] we. {29:5} And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor?
1739 And they said, We know [him. ]{29:6} And he said unto them, [Is] he
1740 well? And they said, [He is] well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter
1741 cometh with the sheep. {29:7} And he said, Lo, [it is] yet high day,
1742 neither [is it] time that the cattle should be gathered together: water
1743 ye the sheep, and go [and] feed [them. ]{29:8} And they said, We
1744 cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and [till] they roll
1745 the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
1746
1747 {29:9} And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her
1748 father's sheep: for she kept them. {29:10} And it came to pass, when
1749 Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the
1750 sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled
1751 the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his
1752 mother's brother. {29:11} And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his
1753 voice, and wept. {29:12} And Jacob told Rachel that he [was] her
1754 father's brother, and that he [was] Rebekah's son: and she ran and told
1755 her father. {29:13} And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings
1756 of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him,
1757 and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all
1758 these things. {29:14} And Laban said to him, Surely thou [art] my bone
1759 and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
1760
1761 {29:15} And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou [art] my brother,
1762 shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what [shall] thy
1763 wages [be? ]{29:16} And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder
1764 [was] Leah, and the name of the younger [was] Rachel. {29:17} Leah
1765 [was] tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured. {29:18}
1766 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for
1767 Rachel thy younger daughter. {29:19} And Laban said, [It is] better
1768 that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man:
1769 abide with me. {29:20} And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and
1770 they seemed unto him [but] a few days, for the love he had to her.
1771
1772 {29:21} And Jacob said unto Laban, Give [me] my wife, for my days
1773 are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. {29:22} And Laban gathered
1774 together all the men of the place, and made a feast. {29:23} And it
1775 came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and
1776 brought her to him; and he went in unto her. {29:24} And Laban gave
1777 unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid [for] an handmaid. {29:25} And
1778 it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it [was] Leah: and he
1779 said to Laban, What [is] this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve
1780 with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me? {29:26} And
1781 Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger
1782 before the firstborn. {29:27} Fulfil her week, and we will give thee
1783 this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven
1784 other years. {29:28} And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he
1785 gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also. {29:29} And Laban gave to
1786 Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid. {29:30} And he
1787 went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and
1788 served with him yet seven other years.
1789
1790 {29:31} And when the LORD saw that Leah [was] hated, he opened her
1791 womb: but Rachel [was] barren. {29:32} And Leah conceived, and bare a
1792 son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath
1793 looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
1794 {29:33} And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the
1795 LORD hath heard that I [was] hated, he hath therefore given me this
1796 [son] also: and she called his name Simeon. {29:34} And she conceived
1797 again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be
1798 joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his
1799 name called Levi. {29:35} And she conceived again, and bare a son: and
1800 she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name
1801 Judah; and left bearing.
1802
1803 {30:1} And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel
1804 envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I
1805 die. {30:2} And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said,
1806 [Am] I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the
1807 womb? {30:3} And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and
1808 she shall bear upon my knees that I may also have children by her.
1809 {30:4} And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in
1810 unto her. {30:5} And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son. {30:6} And
1811 Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath
1812 given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan. {30:7} And Bilhah
1813 Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son. {30:8} And
1814 Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and
1815 I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali. {30:9} When Leah
1816 saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her
1817 Jacob to wife. {30:10} And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son. {30:11}
1818 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad. {30:12} And
1819 Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son. {30:13} And Leah said,
1820 Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his
1821 name Asher.
1822
1823 {30:14} And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found
1824 mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then
1825 Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.
1826 {30:15} And she said unto her, [Is it] a small matter that thou hast
1827 taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also?
1828 And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy
1829 son's mandrakes. {30:16} And Jacob came out of the field in the
1830 evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in
1831 unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he
1832 lay with her that night. {30:17} And God hearkened unto Leah, and she
1833 conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son. {30:18} And Leah said, God
1834 hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband:
1835 and she called his name Issachar. {30:19} And Leah conceived again, and
1836 bare Jacob the sixth son. {30:20} And Leah said, God hath endued me
1837 [with] a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have
1838 born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun. {30:21} And
1839 afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
1840
1841 {30:22} And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and
1842 opened her womb. {30:23} And she conceived, and bare a son; and said,
1843 God hath taken away my reproach: {30:24} And she called his name
1844 Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
1845
1846 {30:25} And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob
1847 said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and
1848 to my country. {30:26} Give [me] my wives and my children, for whom I
1849 have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I
1850 have done thee. {30:27} And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have
1851 found favour in thine eyes, [tarry: for] I have learned by experience
1852 that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake. {30:28} And he said,
1853 Appoint me thy wages, and I will give [it. ]{30:29} And he said unto
1854 him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with
1855 me. {30:30} For [it was] little which thou hadst before I [came,] and
1856 it is [now] increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee
1857 since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
1858 {30:31} And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt
1859 not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again
1860 feed [and] keep thy flock: {30:32} I will pass through all thy flock to
1861 day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all
1862 the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among
1863 the goats: and [of such] shall be my hire. {30:33} So shall my
1864 righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my
1865 hire before thy face: every one that [is] not speckled and spotted
1866 among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted
1867 stolen with me. {30:34} And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be
1868 according to thy word. {30:35} And he removed that day the he goats
1869 that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were
1870 speckled and spotted, [and] every one that had [some] white in it, and
1871 all the brown among the sheep, and gave [them] into the hand of his
1872 sons. {30:36} And he set three days journey betwixt himself and Jacob:
1873 and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
1874
1875 {30:37} And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel
1876 and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white
1877 appear which [was] in the rods. {30:38} And he set the rods which he
1878 had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs
1879 when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came
1880 to drink. {30:39} And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought
1881 forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted. {30:40} And Jacob did
1882 separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the
1883 ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his
1884 own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle. {30:41}
1885 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that
1886 Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that
1887 they might conceive among the rods. {30:42} But when the cattle were
1888 feeble, he put [them] not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the
1889 stronger Jacob's. {30:43} And the man increased exceedingly, and had
1890 much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
1891
1892 {31:1} And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath
1893 taken away all that [was] our father's; and of [that] which [was] our
1894 father's hath he gotten all this glory. {31:2} And Jacob beheld the
1895 countenance of Laban, and, behold, it [was] not toward him as before.
1896 {31:3} And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy
1897 fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. {31:4} And Jacob
1898 sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock, {31:5} And
1899 said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it [is] not
1900 toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me. {31:6}
1901 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. {31:7}
1902 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but
1903 God suffered him not to hurt me. {31:8} If he said thus, The speckled
1904 shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said
1905 thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle
1906 ringstraked. {31:9} Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father,
1907 and given [them] to me. {31:10} And it came to pass at the time that
1908 the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream,
1909 and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle [were] ringstraked,
1910 speckled, and grisled. {31:11} And the angel of God spake unto me in a
1911 dream, [saying,] Jacob: And I said, Here [am] I. {31:12} And he said,
1912 Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the
1913 cattle [are] ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all
1914 that Laban doeth unto thee. {31:13} I [am] the God of Bethel, where
1915 thou anointedst the pillar, [and] where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now
1916 arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy
1917 kindred. {31:14} And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, [Is
1918 there] yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
1919 {31:15} Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and
1920 hath quite devoured also our money. {31:16} For all the riches which
1921 God hath taken from our father, that [is] ours, and our children's: now
1922 then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
1923
1924 {31:17} Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon
1925 camels; {31:18} And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods
1926 which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in
1927 Padan-aram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
1928 {31:19} And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the
1929 images that [were] her father's. {31:20} And Jacob stole away unawares
1930 to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled. {31:21} So
1931 he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the
1932 river, and set his face [toward] the mount Gilead. {31:22} And it was
1933 told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled. {31:23} And he took
1934 his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and
1935 they overtook him in the mount Gilead. {31:24} And God came to Laban
1936 the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou
1937 speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
1938
1939 {31:25} Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in
1940 the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.
1941 {31:26} And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast
1942 stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives
1943 [taken] with the sword? {31:27} Wherefore didst thou flee away
1944 secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might
1945 have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with
1946 harp? {31:28} And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my
1947 daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing. {31:29} It is in
1948 the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake
1949 unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to
1950 Jacob either good or bad. {31:30} And now, [though] thou wouldest needs
1951 be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, [yet]
1952 wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? {31:31} And Jacob answered and said
1953 to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest
1954 take by force thy daughters from me. {31:32} With whomsoever thou
1955 findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou
1956 what [is] thine with me, and take [it] to thee. For Jacob knew not that
1957 Rachel had stolen them. {31:33} And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and
1958 into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found
1959 [them] not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's
1960 tent. {31:34} Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the
1961 camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent,
1962 but found [them] not. {31:35} And she said to her father, Let it not
1963 displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of
1964 women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images.
1965
1966 {31:36} And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob
1967 answered and said to Laban, What [is] my trespass? what [is] my sin,
1968 that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? {31:37} Whereas thou hast
1969 searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff?
1970 set [it] here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge
1971 betwixt us both. {31:38} This twenty years [have] I [been] with thee;
1972 thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of
1973 thy flock have I not eaten. {31:39} That which was torn [of beasts] I
1974 brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou
1975 require it, [whether] stolen by day, or stolen by night. {31:40} [Thus]
1976 I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and
1977 my sleep departed from mine eyes. {31:41} Thus have I been twenty years
1978 in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and
1979 six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
1980 {31:42} Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear
1981 of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty.
1982 God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked
1983 [thee] yesternight.
1984
1985 {31:43} And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, [These] daughters
1986 [are] my daughters, and [these] children [are] my children, and [these]
1987 cattle [are] my cattle, and all that thou seest [is] mine: and what can
1988 I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which
1989 they have born? {31:44} Now therefore come thou, let us make a
1990 covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
1991 {31:45} And Jacob took a stone, and set it up [for] a pillar. {31:46}
1992 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones,
1993 and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap. {31:47} And
1994 Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. {31:48}
1995 And Laban said, This heap [is] a witness between me and thee this day.
1996 Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; {31:49} And Mizpah; for he
1997 said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from
1998 another. {31:50} If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt
1999 take [other] wives beside my daughters, no man [is] with us; see, God
2000 [is] witness betwixt me and thee. {31:51} And Laban said to Jacob,
2001 Behold this heap, and behold [this] pillar, which I have cast betwixt
2002 me and thee; {31:52} This heap [be] witness, and [this] pillar [be]
2003 witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou
2004 shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
2005 {31:53} The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their
2006 father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father
2007 Isaac. {31:54} Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called
2008 his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all
2009 night in the mount. {31:55} And early in the morning Laban rose up, and
2010 kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban
2011 departed, and returned unto his place.
2012
2013 {32:1} And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2014 {32:2} And when Jacob saw them, he said, This [is] God's host: and he
2015 called the name of that place Mahanaim. {32:3} And Jacob sent
2016 messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the
2017 country of Edom. {32:4} And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye
2018 speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned
2019 with Laban, and stayed there until now: {32:5} And I have oxen, and
2020 asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to
2021 tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
2022
2023 {32:6} And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy
2024 brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men
2025 with him. {32:7} Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he
2026 divided the people that [was] with him, and the flocks, and herds, and
2027 the camels, into two bands; {32:8} And said, If Esau come to the one
2028 company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall
2029 escape.
2030
2031 {32:9} And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my
2032 father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country,
2033 and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee: {32:10} I am not
2034 worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which
2035 thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this
2036 Jordan; and now I am become two bands. {32:11} Deliver me, I pray thee,
2037 from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him,
2038 lest he will come and smite me, [and] the mother with the children.
2039 {32:12} And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed
2040 as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. {32:13}
2041 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his
2042 hand a present for Esau his brother; {32:14} Two hundred she goats, and
2043 twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams, {32:15} Thirty
2044 milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she
2045 asses, and ten foals. {32:16} And he delivered [them] into the hand of
2046 his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants,
2047 Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove. {32:17}
2048 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth
2049 thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose [art] thou? and whither goest
2050 thou? and whose [are] these before thee? {32:18} Then thou shalt say,
2051 [They be] thy servant Jacob's; it [is] a present sent unto my lord
2052 Esau: and, behold, also he [is] behind us. {32:19} And so commanded he
2053 the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On
2054 this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him. {32:20} And say
2055 ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob [is] behind us. For he said, I
2056 will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I
2057 will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me. {32:21} So went
2058 the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the
2059 company. {32:22} And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and
2060 his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford
2061 Jabbok. {32:23} And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and
2062 sent over that he had.
2063
2064 {32:24} And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him
2065 until the breaking of the day. {32:25} And when he saw that he
2066 prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the
2067 hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
2068 {32:26} And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I
2069 will not let thee go, except thou bless me. {32:27} And he said unto
2070 him, What [is] thy name? And he said, Jacob. {32:28} And he said, Thy
2071 name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast
2072 thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. {32:29} And Jacob
2073 asked [him,] and said, Tell [me,] I pray thee, thy name. And he said,
2074 Wherefore [is] it [that] thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed
2075 him there. {32:30} And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I
2076 have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. {32:31} And as he
2077 passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
2078 {32:32} Therefore the children of Israel eat not [of] the sinew which
2079 shrank, which [is] upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because
2080 he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
2081
2082 {33:1} And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau
2083 came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto
2084 Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids. {33:2} And he put
2085 the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children
2086 after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost. {33:3} And he passed over
2087 before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came
2088 near to his brother. {33:4} And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him,
2089 and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept. {33:5} And he
2090 lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who
2091 [are] those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath
2092 graciously given thy servant. {33:6} Then the handmaidens came near,
2093 they and their children, and they bowed themselves. {33:7} And Leah
2094 also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came
2095 Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves. {33:8} And he said,
2096 What [meanest] thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, [These
2097 are] to find grace in the sight of my lord. {33:9} And Esau said, I
2098 have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself. {33:10} And
2099 Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight,
2100 then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face,
2101 as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
2102 {33:11} Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because
2103 God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he
2104 urged him, and he took [it. ]{33:12} And he said, Let us take our
2105 journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee. {33:13} And he said
2106 unto him, My lord knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the
2107 flocks and herds with young [are] with me: and if men should overdrive
2108 them one day, all the flock will die. {33:14} Let my lord, I pray thee,
2109 pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as
2110 the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure,
2111 until I come unto my lord unto Seir. {33:15} And Esau said, Let me now
2112 leave with thee [some] of the folk that [are] with me. And he said,
2113 What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
2114
2115 {33:16} So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir. {33:17} And
2116 Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for
2117 his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
2118
2119 {33:18} And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which [is] in
2120 the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and pitched his tent
2121 before the city. {33:19} And he bought a parcel of a field, where he
2122 had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's
2123 father, for an hundred pieces of money. {33:20} And he erected there an
2124 altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
2125
2126 {34:1} And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob,
2127 went out to see the daughters of the land. {34:2} And when Shechem the
2128 son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her,
2129 and lay with her, and defiled her. {34:3} And his soul clave unto Dinah
2130 the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto
2131 the damsel. {34:4} And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get
2132 me this damsel to wife. {34:5} And Jacob heard that he had defiled
2133 Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and
2134 Jacob held his peace until they were come.
2135
2136 {34:6} And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to
2137 commune with him. {34:7} And the sons of Jacob came out of the field
2138 when they heard [it:] and the men were grieved, and they were very
2139 wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's
2140 daughter; which thing ought not to be done. {34:8} And Hamor communed
2141 with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your
2142 daughter: I pray you give her him to wife. {34:9} And make ye marriages
2143 with us, [and] give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto
2144 you. {34:10} And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before
2145 you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
2146 {34:11} And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me
2147 find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
2148 {34:12} Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according
2149 as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife. {34:13} And
2150 the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully,
2151 and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister: {34:14} And they
2152 said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that
2153 is uncircumcised; for that [were] a reproach unto us: {34:15} But in
2154 this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we [be,] that every
2155 male of you be circumcised; {34:16} Then will we give our daughters
2156 unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with
2157 you, and we will become one people. {34:17} But if ye will not hearken
2158 unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will
2159 be gone. {34:18} And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's
2160 son. {34:19} And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he
2161 had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he [was] more honourable than all
2162 the house of his father.
2163
2164 {34:20} And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their
2165 city, and communed with the men of their city, saying, {34:21} These
2166 men [are] peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and
2167 trade therein; for the land, behold, [it is] large enough for them; let
2168 us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our
2169 daughters. {34:22} Only herein will the men consent unto us for to
2170 dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised,
2171 as they [are] circumcised. {34:23} [Shall] not their cattle and their
2172 substance and every beast of theirs [be] ours? only let us consent unto
2173 them, and they will dwell with us. {34:24} And unto Hamor and unto
2174 Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city;
2175 and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his
2176 city.
2177
2178 {34:25} And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore,
2179 that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took
2180 each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the
2181 males. {34:26} And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of
2182 the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out. {34:27}
2183 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because
2184 they had defiled their sister. {34:28} They took their sheep, and their
2185 oxen, and their asses, and that which [was] in the city, and that which
2186 [was] in the field, {34:29} And all their wealth, and all their little
2187 ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that
2188 [was] in the house. {34:30} And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have
2189 troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land,
2190 among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I [being] few in number,
2191 they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I
2192 shall be destroyed, I and my house. {34:31} And they said, Should he
2193 deal with our sister as with an harlot?
2194
2195 {35:1} And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell
2196 there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when
2197 thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. {35:2} Then Jacob said
2198 unto his household, and to all that [were] with him, Put away the
2199 strange gods that [are] among you, and be clean, and change your
2200 garments: {35:3} And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make
2201 there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and
2202 was with me in the way which I went. {35:4} And they gave unto Jacob
2203 all the strange gods which [were] in their hand, and [all their]
2204 earrings which [were] in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak
2205 which [was] by Shechem. {35:5} And they journeyed: and the terror of
2206 God was upon the cities that [were] round about them, and they did not
2207 pursue after the sons of Jacob.
2208
2209 {35:6} So Jacob came to Luz, which [is] in the land of Canaan, that
2210 [is,] Bethel, he and all the people that [were] with him. {35:7} And he
2211 built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el: because there
2212 God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
2213 {35:8} But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath
2214 Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.
2215
2216 {35:9} And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of
2217 Padan-aram, and blessed him. {35:10} And God said unto him, Thy name
2218 [is] Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel
2219 shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. {35:11} And God said
2220 unto him, I [am] God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a
2221 company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy
2222 loins; {35:12} And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I
2223 will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land. {35:13}
2224 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him. {35:14}
2225 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, [even]
2226 a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he
2227 poured oil thereon. {35:15} And Jacob called the name of the place
2228 where God spake with him, Bethel.
2229
2230 {35:16} And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little
2231 way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
2232 {35:17} And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the
2233 midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also. {35:18}
2234 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that
2235 she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin.
2236 {35:19} And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which
2237 [is] Bethlehem. {35:20} And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that
2238 [is] the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
2239
2240 {35:21} And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower
2241 of Edar. {35:22} And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land,
2242 that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel
2243 heard [it.] Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: {35:23} The sons of
2244 Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and
2245 Issachar, and Zebulun: {35:24} The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and
2246 Benjamin: {35:25} And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and
2247 Naphtali: {35:26} And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and
2248 Asher: these [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in
2249 Padan-aram.
2250
2251 {35:27} And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the
2252 city of Arbah, which [is] Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
2253 {35:28} And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
2254 {35:29} And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto
2255 his people, [being] old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob
2256 buried him.
2257
2258 {36:1} Now these [are] the generations of Esau, who [is] Edom.
2259 {36:2} Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the
2260 daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the
2261 daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; {36:3} And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter,
2262 sister of Nebajoth. {36:4} And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath
2263 bare Reuel; {36:5} And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah:
2264 these [are] the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of
2265 Canaan. {36:6} And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his
2266 daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all
2267 his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of
2268 Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob.
2269 {36:7} For their riches were more than that they might dwell together;
2270 and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of
2271 their cattle. {36:8} Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau [is] Edom.
2272
2273 {36:9} And these [are] the generations of Esau the father of the
2274 Edomites in mount Seir: {36:10} These [are] the names of Esau's sons;
2275 Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath
2276 the wife of Esau. {36:11} And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar,
2277 Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. {36:12} And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz
2278 Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these [were] the sons of
2279 Adah Esau's wife. {36:13} And these [are] the sons of Reuel; Nahath,
2280 and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's
2281 wife.
2282
2283 {36:14} And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah
2284 the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and
2285 Jaalam, and Korah.
2286
2287 {36:15} These [were] dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz
2288 the firstborn [son] of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke
2289 Kenaz, {36:16} Duke Korah, duke Gatam, [and] duke Amalek: these [are]
2290 the dukes [that came] of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these [were] the
2291 sons of Adah.
2292
2293 {36:17} And these [are] the sons of Reuel Esau's son; duke Nahath,
2294 duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these [are] the dukes [that
2295 came] of Reuel in the land of Edom; these [are] the sons of Bashemath
2296 Esau's wife.
2297
2298 {36:18} And these [are] the sons of Aholibamah Esau's wife; duke
2299 Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these [were] the dukes [that came] of
2300 Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife. {36:19} These [are] the
2301 sons of Esau, who [is] Edom, and these [are] their dukes.
2302
2303 {36:20} These [are] the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the
2304 land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah, {36:21} And Dishon, and
2305 Ezer, and Dishan: these [are] the dukes of the Horites, the children of
2306 Seir in the land of Edom. {36:22} And the children of Lotan were Hori
2307 and Hemam; and Lotan's sister [was] Timna. {36:23} And the children of
2308 Shobal [were] these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
2309 {36:24} And these [are] the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah:
2310 this [was that] Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed
2311 the asses of Zibeon his father. {36:25} And the children of Anah [were]
2312 these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah. {36:26} And these
2313 [are] the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and
2314 Cheran. {36:27} The children of Ezer [are] these; Bilhan, and Zaavan,
2315 and Akan. {36:28} The children of Dishan [are] these: Uz, and Aran.
2316 {36:29} These [are] the dukes [that came] of the Horites; duke Lotan,
2317 duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah, {36:30} Duke Dishon, duke Ezer,
2318 duke Dishan: these [are] the dukes [that came] of Hori, among their
2319 dukes in the land of Seir.
2320
2321 {36:31} And these [are] the kings that reigned in the land of Edom,
2322 before there reigned any king over the children of Israel. {36:32} And
2323 Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city [was]
2324 Dinhabah. {36:33} And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah
2325 reigned in his stead. {36:34} And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of
2326 Temani reigned in his stead. {36:35} And Husham died, and Hadad the son
2327 of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead:
2328 and the name of his city [was] Avith. {36:36} And Hadad died, and
2329 Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead. {36:37} And Samlah died, and
2330 Saul of Rehoboth [by] the river reigned in his stead. {36:38} And Saul
2331 died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. {36:39}
2332 And Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead:
2333 and the name of his city [was] Pau; and his wife's name [was]
2334 Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab. {36:40} And
2335 these [are] the names of the dukes [that came] of Esau, according to
2336 their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timnah, duke
2337 Alvah, duke Jetheth, {36:41} Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon,
2338 {36:42} Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar, {36:43} Duke Magdiel, duke
2339 Iram: these [be] the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in
2340 the land of their possession: he [is] Esau the father of the Edomites.
2341
2342 {37:1} And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a
2343 stranger, in the land of Canaan. {37:2} These [are] the generations of
2344 Jacob. Joseph, [being] seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with
2345 his brethren; and the lad [was] with the sons of Bilhah, and with the
2346 sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father
2347 their evil report. {37:3} Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his
2348 children, because he [was] the son of his old age: and he made him a
2349 coat of [many] colours. {37:4} And when his brethren saw that their
2350 father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could
2351 not speak peaceably unto him.
2352
2353 {37:5} And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told [it] his brethren:
2354 and they hated him yet the more. {37:6} And he said unto them, Hear, I
2355 pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: {37:7} For, behold, we
2356 [were] binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also
2357 stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made
2358 obeisance to my sheaf. {37:8} And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou
2359 indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And
2360 they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
2361
2362 {37:9} And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren,
2363 and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and
2364 the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. {37:10} And he told
2365 [it] to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him,
2366 and said unto him, What [is] this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I
2367 and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to
2368 thee to the earth? {37:11} And his brethren envied him; but his father
2369 observed the saying.
2370
2371 {37:12} And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in
2372 Shechem. {37:13} And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed
2373 [the flock] in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he
2374 said to him, Here [am] I. {37:14} And he said to him, Go, I pray thee,
2375 see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and
2376 bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he
2377 came to Shechem.
2378
2379 {37:15} And a certain man found him, and, behold, [he was] wandering
2380 in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? {37:16}
2381 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed
2382 [their flocks. ]{37:17} And the man said, They are departed hence; for
2383 I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his
2384 brethren, and found them in Dothan. {37:18} And when they saw him afar
2385 off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to
2386 slay him. {37:19} And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer
2387 cometh. {37:20} Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him
2388 into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and
2389 we shall see what will become of his dreams. {37:21} And Reuben heard
2390 [it,] and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not
2391 kill him. {37:22} And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, [but] cast
2392 him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him;
2393 that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father
2394 again.
2395
2396 {37:23} And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren,
2397 that they stript Joseph out of his coat, [his] coat of [many] colours
2398 that [was] on him; {37:24} And they took him, and cast him into a pit:
2399 and the pit [was] empty, [there was] no water in it. {37:25} And they
2400 sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and,
2401 behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels
2402 bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry [it] down to Egypt.
2403 {37:26} And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit [is it] if we
2404 slay our brother, and conceal his blood? {37:27} Come, and let us sell
2405 him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he [is]
2406 our brother [and] our flesh. And his brethren were content. {37:28}
2407 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted
2408 up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty
2409 [pieces] of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
2410
2411 {37:29} And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph [was]
2412 not in the pit; and he rent his clothes. {37:30} And he returned unto
2413 his brethren, and said, The child [is] not; and I, whither shall I go?
2414 {37:31} And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and
2415 dipped the coat in the blood; {37:32} And they sent the coat of [many]
2416 colours, and they brought [it] to their father; and said, This have we
2417 found: know now whether it [be] thy son's coat or no. {37:33} And he
2418 knew it, and said, [It is] my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured
2419 him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces. {37:34} And Jacob rent his
2420 clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many
2421 days. {37:35} And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort
2422 him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down
2423 into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.
2424 {37:36} And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an
2425 officer of Pharaoh's, [and] captain of the guard.
2426
2427 {38:1} And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from
2428 his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name [was]
2429 Hirah. {38:2} And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite,
2430 whose name [was] Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her. {38:3}
2431 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er. {38:4}
2432 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
2433 {38:5} And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name
2434 Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him. {38:6} And Judah took
2435 a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name [was] Tamar. {38:7} And Er,
2436 Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD
2437 slew him. {38:8} And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's
2438 wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. {38:9} And Onan
2439 knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went
2440 in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] on the ground, lest
2441 that he should give seed to his brother. {38:10} And the thing which he
2442 did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. {38:11} Then said
2443 Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's
2444 house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he
2445 die also, as his brethren [did.] And Tamar went and dwelt in her
2446 father's house.
2447
2448 {38:12} And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife
2449 died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to
2450 Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. {38:13} And it was
2451 told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to
2452 shear his sheep. {38:14} And she put her widow's garments off from her,
2453 and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open
2454 place, which [is] by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was
2455 grown, and she was not given unto him to wife. {38:15} When Judah saw
2456 her, he thought her [to be] an harlot; because she had covered her
2457 face. {38:16} And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I
2458 pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she [was]
2459 his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou
2460 mayest come in unto me? {38:17} And he said, I will send [thee] a kid
2461 from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, till thou
2462 send [it? ]{38:18} And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she
2463 said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that [is] in thine
2464 hand. And he gave [it] her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by
2465 him. {38:19} And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from
2466 her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. {38:20} And Judah sent
2467 the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive [his]
2468 pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not. {38:21} Then he
2469 asked the men of that place, saying, Where [is] the harlot, that [was]
2470 openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this
2471 [place. ]{38:22} And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her;
2472 and also the men of the place said, [that] there was no harlot in this
2473 [place. ]{38:23} And Judah said, Let her take [it] to her, lest we be
2474 shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
2475
2476 {38:24} And it came to pass about three months after, that it was
2477 told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot;
2478 and also, behold, she [is] with child by whoredom. And Judah said,
2479 Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. {38:25} When she [was] brought
2480 forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these
2481 [are, am] I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose [are]
2482 these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff. {38:26} And Judah
2483 acknowledged [them,] and said, She hath been more righteous than I;
2484 because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no
2485 more.
2486
2487 {38:27} And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that,
2488 behold, twins [were] in her womb. {38:28} And it came to pass, when she
2489 travailed, that [the one] put out [his] hand: and the midwife took and
2490 bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first,
2491 {38:29} And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold,
2492 his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? [this]
2493 breach [be] upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez. {38:30}
2494 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon
2495 his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
2496
2497 {39:1} And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an
2498 officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of
2499 the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
2500 {39:2} And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and
2501 he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. {39:3} And his master
2502 saw that the LORD [was] with him, and that the LORD made all [that] he
2503 did to prosper in his hand. {39:4} And Joseph found grace in his sight,
2504 and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all
2505 that he had he put into his hand. {39:5} And it came to pass from the
2506 time [that] he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he
2507 had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and
2508 the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in
2509 the field. {39:6} And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he
2510 knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was
2511 [a] goodly [person,] and well favoured.
2512
2513 {39:7} And it came to pass after these things, that his master's
2514 wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. {39:8} But
2515 he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth
2516 not what [is] with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he
2517 hath to my hand; {39:9} [There is] none greater in this house than I;
2518 neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou
2519 [art] his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin
2520 against God? {39:10} And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by
2521 day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, [or] to be with
2522 her. {39:11} And it came to pass about this time, that [Joseph] went
2523 into the house to do his business; and [there was] none of the men of
2524 the house there within. {39:12} And she caught him by his garment,
2525 saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and
2526 got him out. {39:13} And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left
2527 his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, {39:14} That she called
2528 unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath
2529 brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with
2530 me, and I cried with a loud voice: {39:15} And it came to pass, when he
2531 heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment
2532 with me, and fled, and got him out. {39:16} And she laid up his garment
2533 by her, until his lord came home. {39:17} And she spake unto him
2534 according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast
2535 brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me: {39:18} And it came to
2536 pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with
2537 me, and fled out. {39:19} And it came to pass, when his master heard
2538 the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this
2539 manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled. {39:20} And
2540 Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where
2541 the king's prisoners [were] bound: and he was there in the prison.
2542
2543 {39:21} But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave
2544 him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. {39:22} And the
2545 keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that
2546 [were] in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer
2547 [of it. ]{39:23} The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing [that
2548 was] under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and [that] which he
2549 did, the LORD made [it] to prosper.
2550
2551 {40:1} And it came to pass after these things, [that] the butler of
2552 the king of Egypt and [his] baker had offended their lord the king of
2553 Egypt. {40:2} And Pharaoh was wroth against two [of] his officers,
2554 against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
2555 {40:3} And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the
2556 guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph [was] bound. {40:4} And
2557 the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them:
2558 and they continued a season in ward.
2559
2560 {40:5} And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in
2561 one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the
2562 butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which [were] bound in the
2563 prison. {40:6} And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked
2564 upon them, and, behold, they [were] sad. {40:7} And he asked Pharaoh's
2565 officers that [were] with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying,
2566 Wherefore look ye [so] sadly to day? {40:8} And they said unto him, We
2567 have dreamed a dream, and [there is] no interpreter of it. And Joseph
2568 said unto them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me
2569 [them,] I pray you. {40:9} And the chief butler told his dream to
2570 Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine [was] before me;
2571 {40:10} And in the vine [were] three branches: and it [was] as though
2572 it budded, [and] her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof
2573 brought forth ripe grapes: {40:11} And Pharaoh's cup [was] in my hand:
2574 and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave
2575 the cup into Pharaoh's hand. {40:12} And Joseph said unto him, This
2576 [is] the interpretation of it: The three branches [are] three days:
2577 {40:13} Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and
2578 restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into
2579 his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler. {40:14}
2580 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I
2581 pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me
2582 out of this house: {40:15} For indeed I was stolen away out of the land
2583 of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put
2584 me into the dungeon. {40:16} When the chief baker saw that the
2585 interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also [was] in my dream,
2586 and, behold, [I had] three white baskets on my head: {40:17} And in the
2587 uppermost basket [there was] of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh;
2588 and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head. {40:18} And
2589 Joseph answered and said, This [is] the interpretation thereof: The
2590 three baskets [are] three days: {40:19} Yet within three days shall
2591 Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree;
2592 and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
2593
2594 {40:20} And it came to pass the third day, [which was] Pharaoh's
2595 birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up
2596 the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
2597 {40:21} And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and
2598 he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand: {40:22} But he hanged the chief
2599 baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them. {40:23} Yet did not the chief
2600 butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
2601
2602 {41:1} And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that
2603 Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river. {41:2} And,
2604 behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and
2605 fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow. {41:3} And, behold, seven other
2606 kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed;
2607 and stood by the [other] kine upon the brink of the river. {41:4} And
2608 the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well
2609 favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke. {41:5} And he slept and
2610 dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon
2611 one stalk, rank and good. {41:6} And, behold, seven thin ears and
2612 blasted with the east wind sprung up after them. {41:7} And the seven
2613 thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke,
2614 and, behold, [it was] a dream. {41:8} And it came to pass in the
2615 morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all
2616 the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told
2617 them his dream; but [there was] none that could interpret them unto
2618 Pharaoh.
2619
2620 {41:9} Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do
2621 remember my faults this day: {41:10} Pharaoh was wroth with his
2622 servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both
2623 [me] and the chief baker: {41:11} And we dreamed a dream in one night,
2624 I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his
2625 dream. {41:12} And [there was] there with us a young man, an Hebrew,
2626 servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he
2627 interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did
2628 interpret. {41:13} And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it
2629 was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
2630
2631 {41:14} Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him
2632 hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved [himself,] and changed his
2633 raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh. {41:15} And Pharaoh said unto
2634 Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and [there is] none that can interpret
2635 it: and I have heard say of thee, [that] thou canst understand a dream
2636 to interpret it. {41:16} And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, [It is]
2637 not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. {41:17} And
2638 Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of
2639 the river: {41:18} And, behold, there came up out of the river seven
2640 kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow: {41:19}
2641 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill
2642 favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt
2643 for badness: {41:20} And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up
2644 the first seven fat kine: {41:21} And when they had eaten them up, it
2645 could not be known that they had eaten them; but they [were] still ill
2646 favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke. {41:22} And I saw in my
2647 dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
2648 {41:23} And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, [and] blasted with the
2649 east wind, sprung up after them: {41:24} And the thin ears devoured the
2650 seven good ears: and I told [this] unto the magicians; but [there was]
2651 none that could declare [it] to me.
2652
2653 {41:25} And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh [is] one:
2654 God hath shewed Pharaoh what he [is] about to do. {41:26} The seven
2655 good kine [are] seven years; and the seven good ears [are] seven years:
2656 the dream [is] one. {41:27} And the seven thin and ill favoured kine
2657 that came up after them [are] seven years; and the seven empty ears
2658 blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine. {41:28} This
2659 [is] the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God [is] about to
2660 do he sheweth unto Pharaoh. {41:29} Behold, there come seven years of
2661 great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: {41:30} And there shall
2662 arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be
2663 forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
2664 {41:31} And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that
2665 famine following; for it [shall be] very grievous. {41:32} And for that
2666 the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; [it is] because the thing
2667 [is] established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. {41:33}
2668 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him
2669 over the land of Egypt. {41:34} Let Pharaoh do [this,] and let him
2670 appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land
2671 of Egypt in the seven plenteous years. {41:35} And let them gather all
2672 the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand
2673 of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. {41:36} And that food
2674 shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which
2675 shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the
2676 famine.
2677
2678 {41:37} And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the
2679 eyes of all his servants. {41:38} And Pharaoh said unto his servants,
2680 Can we find [such a one] as this [is,] a man in whom the Spirit of God
2681 is? {41:39} And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed
2682 thee all this, [there is] none so discreet and wise as thou [art:
2683 ]{41:40} Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall
2684 all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
2685 {41:41} And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the
2686 land of Egypt. {41:42} And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and
2687 put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen,
2688 and put a gold chain about his neck; {41:43} And he made him to ride in
2689 the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the
2690 knee: and he made him [ruler] over all the land of Egypt. {41:44} And
2691 Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I [am] Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man
2692 lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. {41:45} And Pharaoh
2693 called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath
2694 the daughter of Poti- pherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over
2695 [all] the land of Egypt.
2696
2697 {41:46} And Joseph [was] thirty years old when he stood before
2698 Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of
2699 Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt. {41:47} And in the
2700 seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls. {41:48} And
2701 he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land
2702 of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field,
2703 which [was] round about every city, laid he up in the same. {41:49} And
2704 Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left
2705 numbering; for [it was] without number. {41:50} And unto Joseph were
2706 born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the
2707 daughter of Poti- pherah priest of On bare unto him. {41:51} And Joseph
2708 called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, [said he,] hath
2709 made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house. {41:52} And the
2710 name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be
2711 fruitful in the land of my affliction.
2712
2713 {41:53} And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land
2714 of Egypt, were ended. {41:54} And the seven years of dearth began to
2715 come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands;
2716 but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. {41:55} And when all the
2717 land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and
2718 Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to
2719 you, do. {41:56} And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and
2720 Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the
2721 famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt. {41:57} And all countries came
2722 into Egypt to Joseph for to buy [corn;] because that the famine was so
2723 sore in all lands.
2724
2725 {42:1} Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said
2726 unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another? {42:2} And he said,
2727 Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither,
2728 and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
2729
2730 {42:3} And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
2731 {42:4} But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his
2732 brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him. {42:5}
2733 And the sons of Israel came to buy [corn] among those that came: for
2734 the famine was in the land of Canaan. {42:6} And Joseph [was] the
2735 governor over the land, [and] he [it was] that sold to all the people
2736 of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves
2737 before him [with] their faces to the earth. {42:7} And Joseph saw his
2738 brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and
2739 spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And
2740 they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food. {42:8} And Joseph knew
2741 his brethren, but they knew not him. {42:9} And Joseph remembered the
2742 dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye [are] spies; to
2743 see the nakedness of the land ye are come. {42:10} And they said unto
2744 him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come. {42:11} We
2745 [are] all one man's sons; we [are] true [men,] thy servants are no
2746 spies. {42:12} And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of
2747 the land ye are come. {42:13} And they said, Thy servants [are] twelve
2748 brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the
2749 youngest [is] this day with our father, and one [is] not. {42:14} And
2750 Joseph said unto them, That [is it] that I spake unto you, saying, Ye
2751 [are] spies: {42:15} Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh
2752 ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
2753 {42:16} Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall
2754 be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether [there be
2755 any] truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye [are]
2756 spies. {42:17} And he put them all together into ward three days.
2757 {42:18} And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live;
2758 [for] I fear God: {42:19} If ye [be] true [men,] let one of your
2759 brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for
2760 the famine of your houses: {42:20} But bring your youngest brother unto
2761 me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did
2762 so.
2763
2764 {42:21} And they said one to another, We [are] verily guilty
2765 concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he
2766 besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come
2767 upon us. {42:22} And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto
2768 you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear?
2769 therefore, behold, also his blood is required. {42:23} And they knew
2770 not that Joseph understood [them;] for he spake unto them by an
2771 interpreter. {42:24} And he turned himself about from them, and wept;
2772 and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them
2773 Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
2774
2775 {42:25} Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to
2776 restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for
2777 the way: and thus did he unto them. {42:26} And they laded their asses
2778 with the corn, and departed thence. {42:27} And as one of them opened
2779 his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money;
2780 for, behold, it [was] in his sack's mouth. {42:28} And he said unto his
2781 brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, [it is] even in my sack: and
2782 their heart failed [them,] and they were afraid, saying one to another,
2783 What [is] this [that] God hath done unto us?
2784
2785 {42:29} And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of
2786 Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying, {42:30} The
2787 man, [who is] the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us
2788 for spies of the country. {42:31} And we said unto him, We [are] true
2789 [men;] we are no spies: {42:32} We [be] twelve brethren, sons of our
2790 father; one [is] not, and the youngest [is] this day with our father in
2791 the land of Canaan. {42:33} And the man, the lord of the country, said
2792 unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye [are] true [men;] leave one of
2793 your brethren [here] with me, and take [food for] the famine of your
2794 households, and be gone: {42:34} And bring your youngest brother unto
2795 me: then shall I know that ye [are] no spies, but [that] ye [are] true
2796 [men: so] will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the
2797 land.
2798
2799 {42:35} And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that,
2800 behold, every man's bundle of money [was] in his sack: and when [both]
2801 they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
2802 {42:36} And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved [of
2803 my children:] Joseph [is] not, and Simeon [is] not, and ye will take
2804 Benjamin [away:] all these things are against me. {42:37} And Reuben
2805 spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to
2806 thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
2807 {42:38} And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother
2808 is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the
2809 which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the
2810 grave.
2811
2812 {43:1} And the famine [was] sore in the land. {43:2} And it came to
2813 pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of
2814 Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.
2815 {43:3} And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest
2816 unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother [be]
2817 with you. {43:4} If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down
2818 and buy thee food: {43:5} But if thou wilt not send [him,] we will not
2819 go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except
2820 your brother [be] with you. {43:6} And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye
2821 so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother? {43:7}
2822 And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our
2823 kindred, saying, [Is] your father yet alive? have ye [another] brother?
2824 and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we
2825 certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down? {43:8} And
2826 Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will
2827 arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, [and]
2828 also our little ones. {43:9} I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt
2829 thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before
2830 thee, then let me bear the blame for ever: {43:10} For except we had
2831 lingered, surely now we had returned this second time. {43:11} And
2832 their father Israel said unto them, If [it must be] so now, do this;
2833 take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the
2834 man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh,
2835 nuts, and almonds: {43:12} And take double money in your hand; and the
2836 money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry [it]
2837 again in your hand; peradventure it [was] an oversight: {43:13} Take
2838 also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man: {43:14} And God
2839 Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your
2840 other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved [of my children,] I am
2841 bereaved.
2842
2843 {43:15} And the men took that present, and they took double money in
2844 their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and
2845 stood before Joseph. {43:16} And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he
2846 said to the ruler of his house, Bring [these] men home, and slay, and
2847 make ready; for [these] men shall dine with me at noon. {43:17} And the
2848 man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's
2849 house. {43:18} And the men were afraid, because they were brought into
2850 Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned
2851 in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek
2852 occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our
2853 asses. {43:19} And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and
2854 they communed with him at the door of the house, {43:20} And said, O
2855 sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food: {43:21} And it
2856 came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and,
2857 behold, [every] man's money [was] in the mouth of his sack, our money
2858 in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand. {43:22} And
2859 other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot
2860 tell who put our money in our sacks. {43:23} And he said, Peace [be] to
2861 you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you
2862 treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out
2863 unto them. {43:24} And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and
2864 gave [them] water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses
2865 provender. {43:25} And they made ready the present against Joseph came
2866 at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
2867
2868 {43:26} And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present
2869 which [was] in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him
2870 to the earth. {43:27} And he asked them of [their] welfare, and said,
2871 [Is] your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? [Is] he yet alive?
2872 {43:28} And they answered, Thy servant our father [is] in good health,
2873 he [is] yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
2874 {43:29} And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his
2875 mother's son, and said, [Is] this your younger brother, of whom ye
2876 spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son. {43:30}
2877 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and
2878 he sought [where] to weep; and he entered into [his] chamber, and wept
2879 there. {43:31} And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained
2880 himself, and said, Set on bread. {43:32} And they set on for him by
2881 himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did
2882 eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread
2883 with the Hebrews; for that [is] an abomination unto the Egyptians.
2884 {43:33} And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his
2885 birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men
2886 marvelled one at another. {43:34} And he took [and sent] messes unto
2887 them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any
2888 of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
2889
2890 {44:1} And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the
2891 men's sacks [with] food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's
2892 money in his sack's mouth. {44:2} And put my cup, the silver cup, in
2893 the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did
2894 according to the word that Joseph had spoken. {44:3} As soon as the
2895 morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses. {44:4}
2896 [And] when they were gone out of the city, [and] not [yet] far off,
2897 Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou
2898 dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for
2899 good? {44:5} [Is] not this [it] in which my lord drinketh, and whereby
2900 indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
2901
2902 {44:6} And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same
2903 words. {44:7} And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these
2904 words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
2905 {44:8} Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we
2906 brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we
2907 steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold? {44:9} With whomsoever of
2908 thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my
2909 lord's bondmen. {44:10} And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according
2910 unto your words; he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye
2911 shall be blameless. {44:11} Then they speedily took down every man his
2912 sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack. {44:12} And he
2913 searched, [and] began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the
2914 cup was found in Benjamin's sack. {44:13} Then they rent their clothes,
2915 and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
2916
2917 {44:14} And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he
2918 [was] yet there: and they fell before him on the ground. {44:15} And
2919 Joseph said unto them, What deed [is] this that ye have done? wot ye
2920 not that such a man as I can certainly divine? {44:16} And Judah said,
2921 What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we
2922 clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants:
2923 behold, we [are] my lord's servants, both we, and [he] also with whom
2924 the cup is found. {44:17} And he said, God forbid that I should do so:
2925 [but] the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant;
2926 and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
2927
2928 {44:18} Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy
2929 servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine
2930 anger burn against thy servant: for thou [art] even as Pharaoh. {44:19}
2931 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
2932 {44:20} And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a
2933 child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he
2934 alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him. {44:21} And
2935 thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set
2936 mine eyes upon him. {44:22} And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot
2937 leave his father: for [if] he should leave his father, [his father]
2938 would die. {44:23} And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your
2939 youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
2940 {44:24} And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father,
2941 we told him the words of my lord. {44:25} And our father said, Go
2942 again, [and] buy us a little food. {44:26} And we said, We cannot go
2943 down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we
2944 may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother [be] with us.
2945 {44:27} And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife
2946 bare me two [sons: ]{44:28} And the one went out from me, and I said,
2947 Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since: {44:29} And if ye
2948 take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my
2949 gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. {44:30} Now therefore when I come
2950 to thy servant my father, and the lad [be] not with us; seeing that his
2951 life is bound up in the lad's life; {44:31} It shall come to pass, when
2952 he seeth that the lad [is] not [with us,] that he will die: and thy
2953 servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with
2954 sorrow to the grave. {44:32} For thy servant became surety for the lad
2955 unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear
2956 the blame to my father for ever. {44:33} Now therefore, I pray thee,
2957 let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let
2958 the lad go up with his brethren. {44:34} For how shall I go up to my
2959 father, and the lad [be] not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil
2960 that shall come on my father.
2961
2962 {45:1} Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that
2963 stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And
2964 there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his
2965 brethren. {45:2} And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of
2966 Pharaoh heard. {45:3} And Joseph said unto his brethren, I [am] Joseph;
2967 doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for
2968 they were troubled at his presence. {45:4} And Joseph said unto his
2969 brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said,
2970 I [am] Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. {45:5} Now
2971 therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me
2972 hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. {45:6} For
2973 these two years [hath] the famine [been] in the land: and yet [there
2974 are] five years, in the which [there shall] neither [be] earing nor
2975 harvest. {45:7} And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity
2976 in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. {45:8} So
2977 now [it was] not you [that] sent me hither, but God: and he hath made
2978 me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler
2979 throughout all the land of Egypt. {45:9} Haste ye, and go up to my
2980 father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me
2981 lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not: {45:10} And thou shalt
2982 dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and
2983 thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy
2984 herds, and all that thou hast: {45:11} And there will I nourish thee;
2985 for yet [there are] five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household,
2986 and all that thou hast, come to poverty. {45:12} And, behold, your eyes
2987 see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that [it is] my mouth that
2988 speaketh unto you. {45:13} And ye shall tell my father of all my glory
2989 in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring
2990 down my father hither. {45:14} And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's
2991 neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck. {45:15} Moreover he
2992 kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his
2993 brethren talked with him.
2994
2995 {45:16} And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying,
2996 Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his
2997 servants. {45:17} And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren,
2998 This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
2999 {45:18} And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and
3000 I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat
3001 of the land. {45:19} Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you
3002 wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your
3003 wives, and bring your father, and come. {45:20} Also regard not your
3004 stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt [is] yours. {45:21} And
3005 the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according
3006 to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
3007 {45:22} To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to
3008 Benjamin he gave three hundred [pieces] of silver, and five changes of
3009 raiment. {45:23} And to his father he sent after this [manner;] ten
3010 asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with
3011 corn and bread and meat for his father by the way. {45:24} So he sent
3012 his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that
3013 ye fall not out by the way.
3014
3015 {45:25} And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of
3016 Canaan unto Jacob their father, {45:26} And told him, saying, Joseph
3017 [is] yet alive, and he [is] governor over all the land of Egypt. And
3018 Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not. {45:27} And they told
3019 him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he
3020 saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob
3021 their father revived: {45:28} And Israel said, [It is] enough; Joseph
3022 my son [is] yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
3023
3024 {46:1} And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to
3025 Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
3026 {46:2} And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said,
3027 Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here [am] I. {46:3} And he said, I [am] God,
3028 the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there
3029 make of thee a great nation: {46:4} I will go down with thee into
3030 Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up [again:] and Joseph shall
3031 put his hand upon thine eyes. {46:5} And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba:
3032 and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little
3033 ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry
3034 him. {46:6} And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had
3035 gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his
3036 seed with him: {46:7} His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his
3037 daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with
3038 him into Egypt.
3039
3040 {46:8} And these [are] the names of the children of Israel, which
3041 came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn. {46:9}
3042 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
3043
3044 {46:10} And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and
3045 Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
3046
3047 {46:11} And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
3048
3049 {46:12} And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez,
3050 and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of
3051 Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
3052
3053 {46:13} And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and
3054 Shimron.
3055
3056 {46:14} And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
3057 {46:15} These [be] the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in
3058 Padan-aram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his
3059 daughters [were] thirty and three.
3060
3061 {46:16} And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon,
3062 Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.
3063
3064 {46:17} And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and
3065 Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and
3066 Malchiel. {46:18} These [are] the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to
3067 Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, [even] sixteen souls.
3068 {46:19} The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
3069
3070 {46:20} And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and
3071 Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bare
3072 unto him.
3073
3074 {46:21} And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel,
3075 Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard. {46:22}
3076 These [are] the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls
3077 [were] fourteen.
3078
3079 {46:23} And the sons of Dan; Hushim.
3080
3081 {46:24} And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and
3082 Shillem. {46:25} These [are] the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto
3083 Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls
3084 [were] seven. {46:26} All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt,
3085 which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls
3086 [were] threescore and six; {46:27} And the sons of Joseph, which were
3087 born him in Egypt, [were] two souls: all the souls of the house of
3088 Jacob, which came into Egypt, [were] threescore and ten.
3089
3090 {46:28} And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face
3091 unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. {46:29} And Joseph
3092 made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to
3093 Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and
3094 wept on his neck a good while. {46:30} And Israel said unto Joseph, Now
3095 let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou [art] yet alive.
3096 {46:31} And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house,
3097 I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my
3098 father's house, which [were] in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
3099 {46:32} And the men [are] shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed
3100 cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all
3101 that they have. {46:33} And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall
3102 call you, and shall say, What [is] your occupation? {46:34} That ye
3103 shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth
3104 even until now, both we, [and] also our fathers: that ye may dwell in
3105 the land of Goshen; for every shepherd [is] an abomination unto the
3106 Egyptians.
3107
3108 {47:1} Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my
3109 brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have,
3110 are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they [are] in the land
3111 of Goshen. {47:2} And he took some of his brethren, [even] five men,
3112 and presented them unto Pharaoh. {47:3} And Pharaoh said unto his
3113 brethren, What [is] your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy
3114 servants [are] shepherds, both we, [and] also our fathers. {47:4} They
3115 said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for
3116 thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine [is] sore
3117 in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants
3118 dwell in the land of Goshen. {47:5} And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph,
3119 saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee: {47:6} The land
3120 of Egypt [is] before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and
3121 brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou
3122 knowest [any] men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my
3123 cattle. {47:7} And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him
3124 before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh. {47:8} And Pharaoh said unto
3125 Jacob, How old [art] thou? {47:9} And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days
3126 of the years of my pilgrimage [are] an hundred and thirty years: few
3127 and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not
3128 attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the
3129 days of their pilgrimage. {47:10} And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went
3130 out from before Pharaoh.
3131
3132 {47:11} And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them
3133 a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land
3134 of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded. {47:12} And Joseph nourished his
3135 father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread,
3136 according to [their] families.
3137
3138 {47:13} And [there was] no bread in all the land; for the famine
3139 [was] very sore, so that the land of Egypt and [all] the land of Canaan
3140 fainted by reason of the famine. {47:14} And Joseph gathered up all the
3141 money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan,
3142 for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into
3143 Pharaoh's house. {47:15} And when money failed in the land of Egypt,
3144 and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and
3145 said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the
3146 money faileth. {47:16} And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will
3147 give you for your cattle, if money fail. {47:17} And they brought their
3148 cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread [in exchange] for
3149 horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for
3150 the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that
3151 year. {47:18} When that year was ended, they came unto him the second
3152 year, and said unto him, We will not hide [it] from my lord, how that
3153 our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not
3154 ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
3155 {47:19} Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land?
3156 buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants
3157 unto Pharaoh: and give [us] seed, that we may live, and not die, that
3158 the land be not desolate. {47:20} And Joseph bought all the land of
3159 Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because
3160 the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's. {47:21}
3161 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from [one] end of the
3162 borders of Egypt even to the [other] end thereof. {47:22} Only the land
3163 of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion [assigned
3164 them] of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them:
3165 wherefore they sold not their lands. {47:23} Then Joseph said unto the
3166 people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh:
3167 lo, [here is] seed for you, and ye shall sow the land. {47:24} And it
3168 shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth [part]
3169 unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field,
3170 and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for
3171 your little ones. {47:25} And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let
3172 us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's
3173 servants. {47:26} And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto
3174 this day, [that] Pharaoh should have the fifth [part;] except the land
3175 of the priests only, [which] became not Pharaoh's.
3176
3177 {47:27} And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of
3178 Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied
3179 exceedingly. {47:28} And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen
3180 years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
3181 {47:29} And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his
3182 son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight,
3183 put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly
3184 with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt: {47:30} But I will lie
3185 with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in
3186 their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said. {47:31}
3187 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed
3188 himself upon the bed's head.
3189
3190 {48:1} And it came to pass after these things, that [one] told
3191 Joseph, Behold, thy father [is] sick: and he took with him his two
3192 sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. {48:2} And [one] told Jacob, and said,
3193 Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened
3194 himself, and sat upon the bed. {48:3} And Jacob said unto Joseph, God
3195 Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
3196 {48:4} And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and
3197 multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will
3198 give this land to thy seed after thee [for] an everlasting possession.
3199
3200 {48:5} And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born
3201 unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt,
3202 [are] mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. {48:6} And thy
3203 issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, [and] shall be
3204 called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance. {48:7}
3205 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of
3206 Canaan in the way, when yet [there was] but a little way to come unto
3207 Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is
3208 Bethlehem. {48:8} And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who [are]
3209 these? {48:9} And Joseph said unto his father, They [are] my sons, whom
3210 God hath given me in this [place.] And he said, Bring them, I pray
3211 thee, unto me, and I will bless them. {48:10} Now the eyes of Israel
3212 were dim for age, [so that] he could not see. And he brought them near
3213 unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them. {48:11} And Israel
3214 said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath
3215 shewed me also thy seed. {48:12} And Joseph brought them out from
3216 between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
3217 {48:13} And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward
3218 Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right
3219 hand, and brought [them] near unto him. {48:14} And Israel stretched
3220 out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who [was] the
3221 younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands
3222 wittingly; for Manasseh [was] the firstborn.
3223
3224 {48:15} And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers
3225 Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto
3226 this day, {48:16} The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the
3227 lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers
3228 Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of
3229 the earth. {48:17} And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right
3230 hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his
3231 father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
3232 {48:18} And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this
3233 [is] the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. {48:19} And his
3234 father refused, and said, I know [it,] my son, I know [it:] he also
3235 shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his
3236 younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a
3237 multitude of nations. {48:20} And he blessed them that day, saying, In
3238 thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as
3239 Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh. {48:21} And Israel said
3240 unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you
3241 again unto the land of your fathers. {48:22} Moreover I have given to
3242 thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of
3243 the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
3244
3245 {49:1} And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves
3246 together, that I may tell you [that] which shall befall you in the last
3247 days. {49:2} Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob;
3248 and hearken unto Israel your father.
3249
3250 {49:3} Reuben, thou [art] my firstborn, my might, and the beginning
3251 of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
3252 {49:4} Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up
3253 to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou [it:] he went up to my couch.
3254
3255 {49:5} Simeon and Levi [are] brethren; instruments of cruelty [are
3256 in] their habitations. {49:6} O my soul, come not thou into their
3257 secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in
3258 their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a
3259 wall. {49:7} Cursed [be] their anger, for [it was] fierce; and their
3260 wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them
3261 in Israel.
3262
3263 {49:8} Judah, thou [art he] whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand
3264 [shall be] in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall
3265 bow down before thee. {49:9} Judah [is] a lion's whelp: from the prey,
3266 my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as
3267 an old lion; who shall rouse him up? {49:10} The sceptre shall not
3268 depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh
3269 come; and unto him [shall] the gathering of the people [be. ]{49:11}
3270 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice
3271 vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of
3272 grapes: {49:12} His eyes [shall be] red with wine, and his teeth white
3273 with milk.
3274
3275 {49:13} Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he [shall
3276 be] for an haven of ships; and his border [shall be] unto Zidon.
3277
3278 {49:14} Issachar [is] a strong ass couching down between two
3279 burdens: {49:15} And he saw that rest [was] good, and the land that [it
3280 was] pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant
3281 unto tribute.
3282
3283 {49:16} Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
3284 {49:17} Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that
3285 biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. {49:18}
3286 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
3287
3288 {49:19} Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at
3289 the last.
3290
3291 {49:20} Out of Asher his bread [shall be] fat, and he shall yield
3292 royal dainties.
3293
3294 {49:21} Naphtali [is] a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
3295
3296 {49:22} Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful bough by a
3297 well; [whose] branches run over the wall: {49:23} The archers have
3298 sorely grieved him, and shot [at him,] and hated him: {49:24} But his
3299 bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by
3300 the hands of the mighty [God] of Jacob; (from thence [is] the shepherd,
3301 the stone of Israel:) {49:25} [Even] by the God of thy father, who
3302 shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with
3303 blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under,
3304 blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: {49:26} The blessings of thy
3305 father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the
3306 utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of
3307 Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his
3308 brethren.
3309
3310 {49:27} Benjamin shall ravin [as] a wolf: in the morning he shall
3311 devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
3312
3313 {49:28} All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel: and this [is
3314 it] that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one
3315 according to his blessing he blessed them. {49:29} And he charged them,
3316 and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my
3317 fathers in the cave that [is] in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
3318 {49:30} In the cave that [is] in the field of Machpelah, which [is]
3319 before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the
3320 field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace. {49:31}
3321 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac
3322 and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah. {49:32} The purchase of
3323 the field and of the cave that [is] therein [was] from the children of
3324 Heth. {49:33} And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he
3325 gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was
3326 gathered unto his people.
3327
3328 {50:1} And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him,
3329 and kissed him. {50:2} And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians
3330 to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel. {50:3} And
3331 forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of
3332 those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore
3333 and ten days. {50:4} And when the days of his mourning were past,
3334 Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found
3335 grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
3336 {50:5} My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I
3337 have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now
3338 therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will
3339 come again. {50:6} And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father,
3340 according as he made thee swear.
3341
3342 {50:7} And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up
3343 all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the
3344 elders of the land of Egypt, {50:8} And all the house of Joseph, and
3345 his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their
3346 flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen. {50:9} And
3347 there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very
3348 great company. {50:10} And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad,
3349 which [is] beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very
3350 sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
3351 {50:11} And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the
3352 mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This [is] a grievous mourning
3353 to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim,
3354 which [is] beyond Jordan. {50:12} And his sons did unto him according
3355 as he commanded them: {50:13} For his sons carried him into the land of
3356 Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which
3357 Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of
3358 Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
3359
3360 {50:14} And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and
3361 all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his
3362 father.
3363
3364 {50:15} And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead,
3365 they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite
3366 us all the evil which we did unto him. {50:16} And they sent a
3367 messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died,
3368 saying, {50:17} So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now,
3369 the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee
3370 evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of
3371 the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
3372 {50:18} And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and
3373 they said, Behold, we [be] thy servants. {50:19} And Joseph said unto
3374 them, Fear not: for [am] I in the place of God? {50:20} But as for you,
3375 ye thought evil against me; [but] God meant it unto good, to bring to
3376 pass, as [it is] this day, to save much people alive. {50:21} Now
3377 therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he
3378 comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
3379
3380 {50:22} And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and
3381 Joseph lived an hundred and ten years. {50:23} And Joseph saw Ephraim's
3382 children of the third [generation:] the children also of Machir the son
3383 Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees. {50:24} And Joseph said
3384 unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you
3385 out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and
3386 to Jacob. {50:25} And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel,
3387 saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from
3388 hence. {50:26} So Joseph died, [being] an hundred and ten years old:
3389 and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
3390
3391
3392
3393
3394
3395 The Second Book of Moses, called Exodus
3396
3397 {1:1} Now these [are] the names of the children of Israel, which
3398 came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob. {1:2}
3399 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, {1:3} Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
3400 {1:4} Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. {1:5} And all the souls that
3401 came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in
3402 Egypt [already. ]{1:6} And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all
3403 that generation.
3404
3405 {1:7} And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased
3406 abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land
3407 was filled with them. {1:8} Now there arose up a new king over Egypt,
3408 which knew not Joseph. {1:9} And he said unto his people, Behold, the
3409 people of the children of Israel [are] more and mightier than we:
3410 {1:10} Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and
3411 it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also
3412 unto our enemies, and fight against us, and [so] get them up out of the
3413 land. {1:11} Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict
3414 them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities,
3415 Pithom and Raamses. {1:12} But the more they afflicted them, the more
3416 they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children
3417 of Israel. {1:13} And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to
3418 serve with rigour: {1:14} And they made their lives bitter with hard
3419 bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the
3420 field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, [was] with
3421 rigour.
3422
3423 {1:15} And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which
3424 the name of the one [was] Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
3425 {1:16} And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew
3426 women, and see [them] upon the stools; if it [be] a son, then ye shall
3427 kill him: but if it [be] a daughter, then she shall live. {1:17} But
3428 the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded
3429 them, but saved the men children alive. {1:18} And the king of Egypt
3430 called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this
3431 thing, and have saved the men children alive? {1:19} And the midwives
3432 said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women [are] not as the Egyptian
3433 women; for they [are] lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come
3434 in unto them. {1:20} Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and
3435 the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. {1:21} And it came to
3436 pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. {1:22}
3437 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye
3438 shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
3439
3440 {2:1} And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took [to wife]
3441 a daughter of Levi. {2:2} And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and
3442 when she saw him that he [was a] goodly [child,] she hid him three
3443 months. {2:3} And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him
3444 an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put
3445 the child therein; and she laid [it] in the flags by the river's brink.
3446 {2:4} And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
3447
3448 {2:5} And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash [herself] at the
3449 river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she
3450 saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. {2:6} And
3451 when she had opened [it,] she saw the child: and, behold, the babe
3452 wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This [is one] of the
3453 Hebrews' children. {2:7} Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter,
3454 Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may
3455 nurse the child for thee? {2:8} And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go.
3456 And the maid went and called the child's mother. {2:9} And Pharaoh's
3457 daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and
3458 I will give [thee] thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed
3459 it. {2:10} And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's
3460 daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she
3461 said, Because I drew him out of the water.
3462
3463 {2:11} And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that
3464 he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he
3465 spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. {2:12} And he
3466 looked this way and that way, and when he saw that [there was] no man,
3467 he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. {2:13} And when he went
3468 out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and
3469 he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
3470 {2:14} And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us?
3471 intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses
3472 feared, and said, Surely this thing is known. {2:15} Now when Pharaoh
3473 heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face
3474 of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
3475 {2:16} Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and
3476 drew [water,] and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
3477 {2:17} And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up
3478 and helped them, and watered their flock. {2:18} And when they came to
3479 Reuel their father, he said, How [is it that] ye are come so soon to
3480 day? {2:19} And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of
3481 the shepherds, and also drew [water] enough for us, and watered the
3482 flock. {2:20} And he said unto his daughters, And where [is] he? why
3483 [is] it [that] ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
3484 {2:21} And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses
3485 Zipporah his daughter. {2:22} And she bare [him] a son, and he called
3486 his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
3487
3488 {2:23} And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of
3489 Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage,
3490 and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the
3491 bondage. {2:24} And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his
3492 covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. {2:25} And God
3493 looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto [them.]
3494
3495 {3:1} Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the
3496 priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert,
3497 and came to the mountain of God, [even] to Horeb. {3:2} And the angel
3498 of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a
3499 bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the
3500 bush [was] not consumed. {3:3} And Moses said, I will now turn aside,
3501 and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. {3:4} And when the
3502 LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the
3503 midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here [am] I.
3504 {3:5} And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy
3505 feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. {3:6}
3506 Moreover he said, I [am] the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the
3507 God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was
3508 afraid to look upon God.
3509
3510 {3:7} And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my
3511 people which [are] in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of
3512 their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; {3:8} And I am come down
3513 to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up
3514 out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with
3515 milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and
3516 the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
3517 {3:9} Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come
3518 unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians
3519 oppress them. {3:10} Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto
3520 Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel
3521 out of Egypt.
3522
3523 {3:11} And Moses said unto God, Who [am] I, that I should go unto
3524 Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of
3525 Egypt? {3:12} And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this
3526 [shall be] a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast
3527 brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this
3528 mountain. {3:13} And Moses said unto God, Behold, [when] I come unto
3529 the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your
3530 fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his
3531 name? what shall I say unto them? {3:14} And God said unto Moses, I AM
3532 THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of
3533 Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. {3:15} And God said moreover unto
3534 Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of
3535 your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of
3536 Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this [is] my name for ever, and this [is]
3537 my memorial unto all generations. {3:16} Go, and gather the elders of
3538 Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the
3539 God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I
3540 have surely visited you, and [seen] that which is done to you in Egypt:
3541 {3:17} And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of
3542 Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the
3543 Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto
3544 a land flowing with milk and honey. {3:18} And they shall hearken to
3545 thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the
3546 king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews
3547 hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days'
3548 journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
3549
3550 {3:19} And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no,
3551 not by a mighty hand. {3:20} And I will stretch out my hand, and smite
3552 Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and
3553 after that he will let you go. {3:21} And I will give this people
3554 favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that,
3555 when ye go, ye shall not go empty: {3:22} But every woman shall borrow
3556 of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of
3557 silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put [them] upon
3558 your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.
3559
3560 {4:1} And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not
3561 believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath
3562 not appeared unto thee. {4:2} And the LORD said unto him, What [is]
3563 that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. {4:3} And he said, Cast it on
3564 the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and
3565 Moses fled from before it. {4:4} And the LORD said unto Moses, Put
3566 forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand,
3567 and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand: {4:5} That they may
3568 believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God
3569 of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
3570
3571 {4:6} And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand
3572 into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it
3573 out, behold, his hand [was] leprous as snow. {4:7} And he said, Put
3574 thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom
3575 again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned
3576 again as his [other] flesh. {4:8} And it shall come to pass, if they
3577 will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign,
3578 that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. {4:9} And it shall
3579 come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither
3580 hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river,
3581 and pour [it] upon the dry [land:] and the water which thou takest out
3582 of the river shall become blood upon the dry [land.]
3583
3584 {4:10} And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I [am] not eloquent,
3585 neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I
3586 [am] slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. {4:11} And the LORD said
3587 unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf,
3588 or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? {4:12} Now therefore
3589 go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
3590 {4:13} And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand [of him
3591 whom] thou wilt send. {4:14} And the anger of the LORD was kindled
3592 against Moses, and he said, [Is] not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I
3593 know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet
3594 thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. {4:15} And
3595 thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be
3596 with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall
3597 do. {4:16} And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall
3598 be, [even] he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to
3599 him instead of God. {4:17} And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand,
3600 wherewith thou shalt do signs.
3601
3602 {4:18} And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and
3603 said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren
3604 which [are] in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro
3605 said to Moses, Go in peace. {4:19} And the LORD said unto Moses in
3606 Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought
3607 thy life. {4:20} And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them
3608 upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the
3609 rod of God in his hand. {4:21} And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou
3610 goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before
3611 Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart,
3612 that he shall not let the people go. {4:22} And thou shalt say unto
3613 Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel [is] my son, [even] my firstborn:
3614 {4:23} And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if
3615 thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, [even] thy
3616 firstborn.
3617
3618 {4:24} And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met
3619 him, and sought to kill him. {4:25} Then Zipporah took a sharp stone,
3620 and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast [it] at his feet, and
3621 said, Surely a bloody husband [art] thou to me. {4:26} So he let him
3622 go: then she said, A bloody husband [thou art,] because of the
3623 circumcision.
3624
3625 {4:27} And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet
3626 Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.
3627 {4:28} And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him,
3628 and all the signs which he had commanded him.
3629
3630 {4:29} And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders
3631 of the children of Israel: {4:30} And Aaron spake all the words which
3632 the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the
3633 people. {4:31} And the people believed: and when they heard that the
3634 LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon
3635 their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
3636
3637 {5:1} And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus
3638 saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a
3639 feast unto me in the wilderness. {5:2} And Pharaoh said, Who [is] the
3640 LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the
3641 LORD, neither will I let Israel go. {5:3} And they said, The God of the
3642 Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey
3643 into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon
3644 us with pestilence, or with the sword. {5:4} And the king of Egypt said
3645 unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their
3646 works? get you unto your burdens. {5:5} And Pharaoh said, Behold, the
3647 people of the land now [are] many, and ye make them rest from their
3648 burdens. {5:6} And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of
3649 the people, and their officers, saying, {5:7} Ye shall no more give the
3650 people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw
3651 for themselves. {5:8} And the tale of the bricks, which they did make
3652 heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish [ought]
3653 thereof: for they [be] idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go
3654 [and] sacrifice to our God. {5:9} Let there more work be laid upon the
3655 men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
3656
3657 {5:10} And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their
3658 officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I
3659 will not give you straw. {5:11} Go ye, get you straw where ye can find
3660 it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished. {5:12} So the
3661 people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather
3662 stubble instead of straw. {5:13} And the taskmasters hasted [them,]
3663 saying, Fulfil your works, [your] daily tasks, as when there was straw.
3664 {5:14} And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's
3665 taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, [and] demanded, Wherefore
3666 have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to
3667 day, as heretofore?
3668
3669 {5:15} Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried
3670 unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
3671 {5:16} There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us,
3672 Make brick: and, behold, thy servants [are] beaten; but the fault [is]
3673 in thine own people. {5:17} But he said, Ye [are] idle, [ye are] idle:
3674 therefore ye say, Let us go [and] do sacrifice to the LORD. {5:18} Go
3675 therefore now, [and] work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet
3676 shall ye deliver the tale of bricks. {5:19} And the officers of the
3677 children of Israel did see [that] they [were] in evil [case,] after it
3678 was said, Ye shall not minish [ought] from your bricks of your daily
3679 task.
3680
3681 {5:20} And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they
3682 came forth from Pharaoh: {5:21} And they said unto them, The LORD look
3683 upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in
3684 the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in
3685 their hand to slay us. {5:22} And Moses returned unto the LORD, and
3686 said, Lord, wherefore hast thou [so] evil entreated this people? why
3687 [is] it [that] thou hast sent me? {5:23} For since I came to Pharaoh to
3688 speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou
3689 delivered thy people at all.
3690
3691 {6:1} Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will
3692 do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a
3693 strong hand shall he drive them out of his land. {6:2} And God spake
3694 unto Moses, and said unto him, I [am] the LORD: {6:3} And I appeared
3695 unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by [the name of] God
3696 Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. {6:4} And I
3697 have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of
3698 Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
3699 {6:5} And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel,
3700 whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
3701 {6:6} Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I [am] the LORD, and I
3702 will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will
3703 rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched
3704 out arm, and with great judgments: {6:7} And I will take you to me for
3705 a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I [am] the
3706 LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the
3707 Egyptians. {6:8} And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the
3708 which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I
3709 will give it you for an heritage: I [am] the LORD.
3710
3711 {6:9} And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they
3712 hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
3713 {6:10} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {6:11} Go in, speak unto
3714 Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his
3715 land. {6:12} And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the
3716 children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh
3717 hear me, who [am] of uncircumcised lips? {6:13} And the LORD spake unto
3718 Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of
3719 Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel
3720 out of the land of Egypt.
3721
3722 {6:14} These [be] the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of
3723 Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi:
3724 these [be] the families of Reuben. {6:15} And the sons of Simeon;
3725 Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son
3726 of a Canaanitish woman: these [are] the families of Simeon.
3727
3728 {6:16} And these [are] the names of the sons of Levi according to
3729 their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of
3730 the life of Levi [were] an hundred thirty and seven years. {6:17} The
3731 sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families. {6:18}
3732 And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and
3733 the years of the life of Kohath [were] an hundred thirty and three
3734 years. {6:19} And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these [are] the
3735 families of Levi according to their generations. {6:20} And Amram took
3736 him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and
3737 Moses: and the years of the life of Amram [were] an hundred and thirty
3738 and seven years.
3739
3740 {6:21} And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri. {6:22}
3741 And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri. {6:23} And
3742 Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to
3743 wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. {6:24}
3744 And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these [are]
3745 the families of the Korhites. {6:25} And Eleazar Aaron's son took him
3746 [one] of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas:
3747 these [are] the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their
3748 families. {6:26} These [are] that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD
3749 said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according
3750 to their armies. {6:27} These [are] they which spake to Pharaoh king of
3751 Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these [are] that
3752 Moses and Aaron.
3753
3754 {6:28} And it came to pass on the day [when] the LORD spake unto
3755 Moses in the land of Egypt, {6:29} That the LORD spake unto Moses,
3756 saying, I [am] the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that
3757 I say unto thee. {6:30} And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I [am]
3758 of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
3759
3760 {7:1} And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to
3761 Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. {7:2} Thou shalt
3762 speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto
3763 Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land. {7:3} And
3764 I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in
3765 the land of Egypt. {7:4} But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I
3766 may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, [and] my
3767 people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great
3768 judgments. {7:5} And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD,
3769 when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children
3770 of Israel from among them. {7:6} And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD
3771 commanded them, so did they. {7:7} And Moses [was] fourscore years old,
3772 and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
3773
3774 {7:8} And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, {7:9}
3775 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then
3776 thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast [it] before Pharaoh,
3777 [and] it shall become a serpent.
3778
3779 {7:10} And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as
3780 the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and
3781 before his servants, and it became a serpent. {7:11} Then Pharaoh also
3782 called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they
3783 also did in like manner with their enchantments. {7:12} For they cast
3784 down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod
3785 swallowed up their rods. {7:13} And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that
3786 he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
3787
3788 {7:14} And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart [is] hardened,
3789 he refuseth to let the people go. {7:15} Get thee unto Pharaoh in the
3790 morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the
3791 river's brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a
3792 serpent shalt thou take in thine hand. {7:16} And thou shalt say unto
3793 him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my
3794 people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold,
3795 hitherto thou wouldest not hear. {7:17} Thus saith the LORD, In this
3796 thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod
3797 that [is] in mine hand upon the waters which [are] in the river, and
3798 they shall be turned to blood. {7:18} And the fish that [is] in the
3799 river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall
3800 lothe to drink of the water of the river.
3801
3802 {7:19} And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod,
3803 and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their
3804 streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their
3805 pools of water, that they may become blood; and [that] there may be
3806 blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and
3807 in [vessels of] stone. {7:20} And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD
3808 commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that [were]
3809 in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his
3810 servants; and all the waters that [were] in the river were turned to
3811 blood. {7:21} And the fish that [was] in the river died; and the river
3812 stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and
3813 there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. {7:22} And the
3814 magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart
3815 was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.
3816 {7:23} And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set
3817 his heart to this also. {7:24} And all the Egyptians digged round about
3818 the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of
3819 the river. {7:25} And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD
3820 had smitten the river.
3821
3822 {8:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto
3823 him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
3824 {8:2} And if thou refuse to let [them] go, behold, I will smite all thy
3825 borders with frogs: {8:3} And the river shall bring forth frogs
3826 abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy
3827 bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and
3828 upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
3829 {8:4} And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people,
3830 and upon all thy servants.
3831
3832 {8:5} And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth
3833 thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the
3834 ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. {8:6} And
3835 Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs
3836 came up, and covered the land of Egypt. {8:7} And the magicians did so
3837 with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
3838
3839 {8:8} Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the
3840 LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and
3841 I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.
3842 {8:9} And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat
3843 for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the
3844 frogs from thee and thy houses, [that] they may remain in the river
3845 only? {8:10} And he said, To morrow. And he said, [Be it] according to
3846 thy word: that thou mayest know that [there is] none like unto the LORD
3847 our God. {8:11} And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy
3848 houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain
3849 in the river only. {8:12} And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh:
3850 and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought
3851 against Pharaoh. {8:13} And the LORD did according to the word of
3852 Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and
3853 out of the fields. {8:14} And they gathered them together upon heaps:
3854 and the land stank. {8:15} But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite,
3855 he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had
3856 said.
3857
3858 {8:16} And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy
3859 rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout
3860 all the land of Egypt. {8:17} And they did so; for Aaron stretched out
3861 his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became
3862 lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice
3863 throughout all the land of Egypt. {8:18} And the magicians did so with
3864 their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there
3865 were lice upon man, and upon beast. {8:19} Then the magicians said unto
3866 Pharaoh, This [is] the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened,
3867 and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
3868
3869 {8:20} And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning,
3870 and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say
3871 unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve
3872 me. {8:21} Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send
3873 swarms [of flies] upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy
3874 people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be
3875 full of swarms [of flies,] and also the ground whereon they [are.
3876 ]{8:22} And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my
3877 people dwell, that no swarms [of flies] shall be there; to the end thou
3878 mayest know that I [am] the LORD in the midst of the earth. {8:23} And
3879 I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall
3880 this sign be. {8:24} And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous
3881 swarm [of flies] into the house of Pharaoh, and [into] his servants'
3882 houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by
3883 reason of the swarm [of flies.]
3884
3885 {8:25} And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye,
3886 sacrifice to your God in the land. {8:26} And Moses said, It is not
3887 meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians
3888 to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the
3889 Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us? {8:27} We will
3890 go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD
3891 our God, as he shall command us. {8:28} And Pharaoh said, I will let
3892 you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness;
3893 only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me. {8:29} And Moses
3894 said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the LORD that the
3895 swarms [of flies] may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from
3896 his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in
3897 not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD. {8:30} And Moses
3898 went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD. {8:31} And the LORD did
3899 according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms [of flies]
3900 from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained
3901 not one. {8:32} And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also,
3902 neither would he let the people go.
3903
3904 {9:1} Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell
3905 him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that
3906 they may serve me. {9:2} For if thou refuse to let [them] go, and wilt
3907 hold them still, {9:3} Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle
3908 which [is] in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the
3909 camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: [there shall be] a very
3910 grievous murrain. {9:4} And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of
3911 Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all
3912 [that is] the children's of Israel. {9:5} And the LORD appointed a set
3913 time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land. {9:6}
3914 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt
3915 died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one. {9:7}
3916 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the
3917 Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not
3918 let the people go.
3919
3920 {9:8} And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you
3921 handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the
3922 heaven in the sight of Pharaoh. {9:9} And it shall become small dust in
3923 all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth [with] blains
3924 upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt. {9:10} And
3925 they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses
3926 sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth
3927 [with] blains upon man, and upon beast. {9:11} And the magicians could
3928 not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the
3929 magicians, and upon all the Egyptians. {9:12} And the LORD hardened the
3930 heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had
3931 spoken unto Moses.
3932
3933 {9:13} And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning,
3934 and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of
3935 the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. {9:14} For I
3936 will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy
3937 servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that [there is]
3938 none like me in all the earth. {9:15} For now I will stretch out my
3939 hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou
3940 shalt be cut off from the earth. {9:16} And in very deed for this
3941 [cause] have I raised thee up, for to shew [in] thee my power; and that
3942 my name may be declared throughout all the earth. {9:17} As yet
3943 exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them
3944 go? {9:18} Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a
3945 very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation
3946 thereof even until now. {9:19} Send therefore now, [and] gather thy
3947 cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; [for upon] every man and
3948 beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home,
3949 the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die. {9:20} He that
3950 feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his
3951 servants and his cattle flee into the houses: {9:21} And he that
3952 regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in
3953 the field.
3954
3955 {9:22} And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward
3956 heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and
3957 upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of
3958 Egypt. {9:23} And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the
3959 LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and
3960 the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt. {9:24} So there was hail,
3961 and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none
3962 like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. {9:25} And
3963 the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that [was] in the
3964 field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field,
3965 and brake every tree of the field. {9:26} Only in the land of Goshen,
3966 where the children of Israel [were,] was there no hail.
3967
3968 {9:27} And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said
3969 unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD [is] righteous, and I and
3970 my people [are] wicked. {9:28} Intreat the LORD (for [it is] enough)
3971 that there be no [more] mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you
3972 go, and ye shall stay no longer. {9:29} And Moses said unto him, As
3973 soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto
3974 the LORD; [and] the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any
3975 more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth [is] the LORD'S.
3976 {9:30} But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet
3977 fear the LORD God. {9:31} And the flax and the barley was smitten: for
3978 the barley was in the ear, and the flax [was] bolled. {9:32} But the
3979 wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they [were] not grown up.
3980 {9:33} And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad
3981 his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain
3982 was not poured upon the earth. {9:34} And when Pharaoh saw that the
3983 rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and
3984 hardened his heart, he and his servants. {9:35} And the heart of
3985 Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go;
3986 as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
3987
3988 {10:1} And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have
3989 hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew
3990 these my signs before him: {10:2} And that thou mayest tell in the ears
3991 of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt,
3992 and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I
3993 [am] the LORD. {10:3} And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and
3994 said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt
3995 thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they
3996 may serve me. {10:4} Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold,
3997 to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast: {10:5} And they
3998 shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the
3999 earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which
4000 remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which
4001 groweth for you out of the field: {10:6} And they shall fill thy
4002 houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the
4003 Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have
4004 seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he
4005 turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh. {10:7} And Pharaoh's
4006 servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let
4007 the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not
4008 yet that Egypt is destroyed? {10:8} And Moses and Aaron were brought
4009 again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God:
4010 [but] who [are] they that shall go? {10:9} And Moses said, We will go
4011 with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters,
4012 with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we [must hold] a
4013 feast unto the LORD. {10:10} And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so
4014 with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look [to it;] for
4015 evil [is] before you. {10:11} Not so: go now ye [that are] men, and
4016 serve the LORD; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from
4017 Pharaoh's presence.
4018
4019 {10:12} And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over
4020 the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land
4021 of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, [even] all that the hail hath
4022 left. {10:13} And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt,
4023 and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all
4024 [that] night; [and] when it was morning, the east wind brought the
4025 locusts. {10:14} And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt,
4026 and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous [were they;]
4027 before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them
4028 shall be such. {10:15} For they covered the face of the whole earth, so
4029 that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land,
4030 and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there
4031 remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the
4032 field, through all the land of Egypt.
4033
4034 {10:16} Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he
4035 said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you. {10:17}
4036 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat
4037 the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
4038 {10:18} And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD. {10:19}
4039 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the
4040 locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust
4041 in all the coasts of Egypt. {10:20} But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's
4042 heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
4043
4044 {10:21} And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward
4045 heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even
4046 darkness [which] may be felt. {10:22} And Moses stretched forth his
4047 hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of
4048 Egypt three days: {10:23} They saw not one another, neither rose any
4049 from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light
4050 in their dwellings.
4051
4052 {10:24} And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the
4053 LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little
4054 ones also go with you. {10:25} And Moses said, Thou must give us also
4055 sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our
4056 God. {10:26} Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof
4057 be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and
4058 we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
4059
4060 {10:27} But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let
4061 them go. {10:28} And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed
4062 to thyself, see my face no more; for in [that] day thou seest my face
4063 thou shalt die. {10:29} And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will
4064 see thy face again no more.
4065
4066 {11:1} And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague
4067 [more] upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go
4068 hence: when he shall let [you] go, he shall surely thrust you out hence
4069 altogether. {11:2} Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every
4070 man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels
4071 of silver, and jewels of gold. {11:3} And the LORD gave the people
4072 favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses [was] very
4073 great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in
4074 the sight of the people. {11:4} And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD,
4075 About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt: {11:5} And all
4076 the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of
4077 Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the
4078 maidservant that [is] behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
4079 {11:6} And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt,
4080 such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more. {11:7}
4081 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his
4082 tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth
4083 put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel. {11:8} And all these
4084 thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me,
4085 saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after
4086 that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
4087 {11:9} And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto
4088 you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt. {11:10}
4089 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD
4090 hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of
4091 Israel go out of his land.
4092
4093 {12:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
4094 saying, {12:2} This month [shall be] unto you the beginning of months:
4095 it [shall be] the first month of the year to you.
4096
4097 {12:3} Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the
4098 tenth [day] of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb,
4099 according to the house of [their] fathers, a lamb for an house: {12:4}
4100 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his
4101 neighbour next unto his house take [it] according to the number of the
4102 souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the
4103 lamb. {12:5} Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first
4104 year: ye shall take [it] out from the sheep, or from the goats: {12:6}
4105 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and
4106 the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the
4107 evening. {12:7} And they shall take of the blood, and strike [it] on
4108 the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein
4109 they shall eat it. {12:8} And they shall eat the flesh in that night,
4110 roast with fire, and unleavened bread; [and] with bitter [herbs] they
4111 shall eat it. {12:9} Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water,
4112 but roast [with] fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance
4113 thereof. {12:10} And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the
4114 morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn
4115 with fire.
4116
4117 {12:11} And thus shall ye eat it; [with] your loins girded, your
4118 shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in
4119 haste: it [is] the LORD'S passover. {12:12} For I will pass through the
4120 land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land
4121 of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will
4122 execute judgment: I [am] the LORD. {12:13} And the blood shall be to
4123 you for a token upon the houses where ye [are:] and when I see the
4124 blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to
4125 destroy [you,] when I smite the land of Egypt. {12:14} And this day
4126 shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the
4127 LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an
4128 ordinance for ever. {12:15} Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread;
4129 even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for
4130 whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh
4131 day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. {12:16} And in the first
4132 day [there shall be] an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there
4133 shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in
4134 them, save [that] which every man must eat, that only may be done of
4135 you. {12:17} And ye shall observe [the feast of] unleavened bread; for
4136 in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of
4137 Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an
4138 ordinance for ever.
4139
4140 {12:18} In the first [month,] on the fourteenth day of the month at
4141 even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of
4142 the month at even. {12:19} Seven days shall there be no leaven found in
4143 your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that
4144 soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a
4145 stranger, or born in the land. {12:20} Ye shall eat nothing leavened;
4146 in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
4147
4148 {12:21} Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said
4149 unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and
4150 kill the passover. {12:22} And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip
4151 [it] in the blood that [is] in the bason, and strike the lintel and the
4152 two side posts with the blood that [is] in the bason; and none of you
4153 shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. {12:23} For
4154 the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth
4155 the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will
4156 pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto
4157 your houses to smite [you. ]{12:24} And ye shall observe this thing for
4158 an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. {12:25} And it shall
4159 come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you,
4160 according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. {12:26}
4161 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What
4162 mean ye by this service? {12:27} That ye shall say, It [is] the
4163 sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, who passed over the houses of the
4164 children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered
4165 our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. {12:28} And
4166 the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded
4167 Moses and Aaron, so did they.
4168
4169 {12:29} And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the
4170 firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat
4171 on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that [was] in the
4172 dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. {12:30} And Pharaoh rose up
4173 in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and
4174 there was a great cry in Egypt; for [there was] not a house where
4175 [there was] not one dead.
4176
4177 {12:31} And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise
4178 up, [and] get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children
4179 of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said. {12:32} Also take
4180 your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me
4181 also. {12:33} And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they
4182 might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We [be] all
4183 dead [men. ]{12:34} And the people took their dough before it was
4184 leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon
4185 their shoulders. {12:35} And the children of Israel did according to
4186 the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver,
4187 and jewels of gold, and raiment: {12:36} And the LORD gave the people
4188 favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them [such
4189 things as they required.] And they spoiled the Egyptians.
4190
4191 {12:37} And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to
4192 Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot [that were] men, beside
4193 children. {12:38} And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and
4194 flocks, and herds, [even] very much cattle. {12:39} And they baked
4195 unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt,
4196 for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and
4197 could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
4198
4199 {12:40} Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in
4200 Egypt, [was] four hundred and thirty years. {12:41} And it came to pass
4201 at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day
4202 it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land
4203 of Egypt. {12:42} It [is] a night to be much observed unto the LORD for
4204 bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this [is] that night of the
4205 LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
4206
4207 {12:43} And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This [is] the
4208 ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof: {12:44}
4209 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast
4210 circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. {12:45} A foreigner and an
4211 hired servant shall not eat thereof. {12:46} In one house shall it be
4212 eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the
4213 house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof. {12:47} All the
4214 congregation of Israel shall keep it. {12:48} And when a stranger shall
4215 sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his
4216 males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he
4217 shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person
4218 shall eat thereof. {12:49} One law shall be to him that is homeborn,
4219 and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. {12:50} Thus did all
4220 the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did
4221 they. {12:51} And it came to pass the selfsame day, [that] the LORD did
4222 bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
4223
4224 {13:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {13:2} Sanctify unto
4225 me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of
4226 Israel, [both] of man and of beast: it [is] mine.
4227
4228 {13:3} And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which
4229 ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of
4230 hand the LORD brought you out from this [place:] there shall no
4231 leavened bread be eaten. {13:4} This day came ye out in the month Abib.
4232
4233 {13:5} And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land
4234 of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites,
4235 and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land
4236 flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this
4237 month. {13:6} Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the
4238 seventh day [shall be] a feast to the LORD. {13:7} Unleavened bread
4239 shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen
4240 with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy
4241 quarters.
4242
4243 {13:8} And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, [This is
4244 done] because of that [which] the LORD did unto me when I came forth
4245 out of Egypt. {13:9} And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine
4246 hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD'S law may be
4247 in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of
4248 Egypt. {13:10} Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season
4249 from year to year.
4250
4251 {13:11} And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land
4252 of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall
4253 give it thee, {13:12} That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that
4254 openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which
4255 thou hast; the males [shall be] the LORD'S. {13:13} And every firstling
4256 of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem
4257 it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among
4258 thy children shalt thou redeem.
4259
4260 {13:14} And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come,
4261 saying, What [is] this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of
4262 hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
4263 {13:15} And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that
4264 the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the
4265 firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to
4266 the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the
4267 firstborn of my children I redeem. {13:16} And it shall be for a token
4268 upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength
4269 of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.
4270
4271 {13:17} And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go,
4272 that God led them not [through] the way of the land of the Philistines,
4273 although that [was] near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people
4274 repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt: {13:18} But God led
4275 the people about, [through] the way of the wilderness of the Red sea:
4276 and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
4277 {13:19} And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had
4278 straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit
4279 you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
4280
4281 {13:20} And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in
4282 Etham, in the edge of the wilderness. {13:21} And the LORD went before
4283 them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night
4284 in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
4285 {13:22} He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar
4286 of fire by night, [from] before the people.
4287
4288 {14:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {14:2} Speak unto the
4289 children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth,
4290 between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal-zephon: before it shall
4291 ye encamp by the sea. {14:3} For Pharaoh will say of the children of
4292 Israel, They [are] entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them
4293 in. {14:4} And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow
4294 after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host;
4295 that the Egyptians may know that I [am] the LORD. And they did so.
4296
4297 {14:5} And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and
4298 the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people,
4299 and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from
4300 serving us? {14:6} And he made ready his chariot, and took his people
4301 with him: {14:7} And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the
4302 chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them. {14:8} And the
4303 LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after
4304 the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an
4305 high hand. {14:9} But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses
4306 [and] chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook
4307 them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
4308
4309 {14:10} And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up
4310 their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they
4311 were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
4312 {14:11} And they said unto Moses, Because [there were] no graves in
4313 Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast
4314 thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? {14:12} [Is]
4315 not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone,
4316 that we may serve the Egyptians? For [it had been] better for us to
4317 serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
4318
4319 {14:13} And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still,
4320 and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day:
4321 for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no
4322 more for ever. {14:14} The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold
4323 your peace.
4324
4325 {14:15} And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me?
4326 speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: {14:16} But
4327 lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and
4328 divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry [ground] through
4329 the midst of the sea. {14:17} And I, behold, I will harden the hearts
4330 of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour
4331 upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his
4332 horsemen. {14:18} And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD,
4333 when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon
4334 his horsemen.
4335
4336 {14:19} And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel,
4337 removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from
4338 before their face, and stood behind them: {14:20} And it came between
4339 the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud
4340 and darkness [to them,] but it gave light by night [to these:] so that
4341 the one came not near the other all the night. {14:21} And Moses
4342 stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go
4343 [back] by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry
4344 [land,] and the waters were divided. {14:22} And the children of Israel
4345 went into the midst of the sea upon the dry [ground:] and the waters
4346 [were] a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
4347
4348 {14:23} And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the
4349 midst of the sea, [even] all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his
4350 horsemen. {14:24} And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the
4351 LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire
4352 and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, {14:25} And
4353 took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that
4354 the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD
4355 fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
4356
4357 {14:26} And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over
4358 the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their
4359 chariots, and upon their horsemen. {14:27} And Moses stretched forth
4360 his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the
4361 morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD
4362 overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. {14:28} And the waters
4363 returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, [and] all the
4364 host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not
4365 so much as one of them. {14:29} But the children of Israel walked upon
4366 dry [land] in the midst of the sea; and the waters [were] a wall unto
4367 them on their right hand, and on their left. {14:30} Thus the LORD
4368 saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw
4369 the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. {14:31} And Israel saw that
4370 great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared
4371 the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
4372
4373 {15:1} Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the
4374 LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath
4375 triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the
4376 sea. {15:2} The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my
4377 salvation: he [is] my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my
4378 father's God, and I will exalt him. {15:3} The LORD [is] a man of war:
4379 the LORD [is] his name. {15:4} Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he
4380 cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
4381 {15:5} The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a
4382 stone. {15:6} Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy
4383 right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. {15:7} And in the
4384 greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up
4385 against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, [which] consumed them as
4386 stubble. {15:8} And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were
4387 gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, [and] the
4388 depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. {15:9} The enemy said, I
4389 will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be
4390 satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
4391 {15:10} Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank
4392 as lead in the mighty waters. {15:11} Who [is] like unto thee, O LORD,
4393 among the gods? who [is] like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful [in]
4394 praises, doing wonders? {15:12} Thou stretchedst out thy right hand,
4395 the earth swallowed them. {15:13} Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the
4396 people [which] thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided [them] in thy
4397 strength unto thy holy habitation. {15:14} The people shall hear, [and]
4398 be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
4399 {15:15} Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab,
4400 trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan
4401 shall melt away. {15:16} Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the
4402 greatness of thine arm they shall be [as] still as a stone; till thy
4403 people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, [which] thou hast
4404 purchased. {15:17} Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the
4405 mountain of thine inheritance, [in] the place, O LORD, [which] thou
4406 hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, [which] thy
4407 hands have established. {15:18} The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
4408 {15:19} For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his
4409 horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea
4410 upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry [land] in the midst
4411 of the sea.
4412
4413 {15:20} And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a
4414 timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels
4415 and with dances. {15:21} And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD,
4416 for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he
4417 thrown into the sea. {15:22} So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea,
4418 and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days
4419 in the wilderness, and found no water.
4420
4421 {15:23} And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the
4422 waters of Marah, for they [were] bitter: therefore the name of it was
4423 called Marah. {15:24} And the people murmured against Moses, saying,
4424 What shall we drink? {15:25} And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD
4425 shewed him a tree, [which] when he had cast into the waters, the waters
4426 were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and
4427 there he proved them, {15:26} And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken
4428 to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in
4429 his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his
4430 statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have
4431 brought upon the Egyptians: for I [am] the LORD that healeth thee.
4432
4433 {15:27} And they came to Elim, where [were] twelve wells of water,
4434 and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the
4435 waters.
4436
4437 {16:1} And they took their journey from Elim, and all the
4438 congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin,
4439 which [is] between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second
4440 month after their departing out of the land of Egypt. {16:2} And the
4441 whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and
4442 Aaron in the wilderness: {16:3} And the children of Israel said unto
4443 them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of
4444 Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, [and] when we did eat bread to
4445 the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill
4446 this whole assembly with hunger.
4447
4448 {16:4} Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from
4449 heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate
4450 every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or
4451 no. {16:5} And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall
4452 prepare [that] which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as
4453 they gather daily. {16:6} And Moses and Aaron said unto all the
4454 children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath
4455 brought you out from the land of Egypt: {16:7} And in the morning, then
4456 ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings
4457 against the LORD: and what [are] we, that ye murmur against us? {16:8}
4458 And Moses said, [This shall be,] when the LORD shall give you in the
4459 evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that
4460 the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what
4461 [are] we? your murmurings [are] not against us, but against the LORD.
4462
4463 {16:9} And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of
4464 the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard
4465 your murmurings. {16:10} And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the
4466 whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward
4467 the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the
4468 cloud.
4469
4470 {16:11} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {16:12} I have heard
4471 the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At
4472 even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with
4473 bread; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD your God. {16:13} And it
4474 came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp:
4475 and in the morning the dew lay round about the host. {16:14} And when
4476 the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness
4477 [there lay] a small round thing, [as] small as the hoar frost on the
4478 ground. {16:15} And when the children of Israel saw [it,] they said one
4479 to another, It [is] manna: for they wist not what it [was.] And Moses
4480 said unto them, This [is] the bread which the LORD hath given you to
4481 eat.
4482
4483 {16:16} This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of
4484 it every man [according to] his eating, an omer for every man,
4485 according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for [them]
4486 which [are] in his tents. {16:17} And the children of Israel did so,
4487 and gathered, some more, some less. {16:18} And when they did mete [it]
4488 with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that
4489 gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his
4490 eating. {16:19} And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the
4491 morning. {16:20} Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but
4492 some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and
4493 stank: and Moses was wroth with them. {16:21} And they gathered it
4494 every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun
4495 waxed hot, it melted.
4496
4497 {16:22} And it came to pass, [that] on the sixth day they gathered
4498 twice as much bread, two omers for one [man:] and all the rulers of the
4499 congregation came and told Moses. {16:23} And he said unto them, This
4500 [is that] which the LORD hath said, To morrow [is] the rest of the holy
4501 sabbath unto the LORD: bake [that] which ye will bake [to day,] and
4502 seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for
4503 you to be kept until the morning. {16:24} And they laid it up till the
4504 morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any
4505 worm therein. {16:25} And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day [is]
4506 a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
4507 {16:26} Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, [which is]
4508 the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
4509
4510 {16:27} And it came to pass, [that] there went out [some] of the
4511 people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. {16:28}
4512 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my
4513 commandments and my laws? {16:29} See, for that the LORD hath given you
4514 the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two
4515 days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place
4516 on the seventh day. {16:30} So the people rested on the seventh day.
4517 {16:31} And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it
4518 [was] like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it [was] like wafers
4519 [made] with honey.
4520
4521 {16:32} And Moses said, This [is] the thing which the LORD
4522 commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that
4523 they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when
4524 I brought you forth from the land of Egypt. {16:33} And Moses said unto
4525 Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up
4526 before the LORD, to be kept for your generations. {16:34} As the LORD
4527 commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
4528 {16:35} And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until
4529 they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto
4530 the borders of the land of Canaan. {16:36} Now an omer [is] the tenth
4531 [part] of an ephah.
4532
4533 {17:1} And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed
4534 from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the
4535 commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and [there was] no
4536 water for the people to drink. {17:2} Wherefore the people did chide
4537 with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said
4538 unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD? {17:3}
4539 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured
4540 against Moses, and said, Wherefore [is] this [that] thou hast brought
4541 us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with
4542 thirst? {17:4} And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do
4543 unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me. {17:5} And the LORD
4544 said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the
4545 elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take
4546 in thine hand, and go. {17:6} Behold, I will stand before thee there
4547 upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall
4548 come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in
4549 the sight of the elders of Israel. {17:7} And he called the name of the
4550 place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of
4551 Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among
4552 us, or not?
4553
4554 {17:8} Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. {17:9}
4555 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with
4556 Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of
4557 God in mine hand. {17:10} So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and
4558 fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the
4559 hill. {17:11} And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that
4560 Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
4561 {17:12} But Moses' hands [were] heavy; and they took a stone, and put
4562 [it] under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his
4563 hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and
4564 his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. {17:13} And
4565 Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
4566 {17:14} And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this [for] a memorial in a
4567 book, and rehearse [it] in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put
4568 out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. {17:15} And Moses
4569 built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi: {17:16} For he
4570 said, Because the LORD hath sworn [that] the LORD [will have] war with
4571 Amalek from generation to generation.
4572
4573 {18:1} When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law,
4574 heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people,
4575 [and] that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt; {18:2} Then
4576 Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had
4577 sent her back, {18:3} And her two sons; of which the name of the one
4578 [was] Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
4579 {18:4} And the name of the other [was] Eliezer; for the God of my
4580 father, [said he, was] mine help, and delivered me from the sword of
4581 Pharaoh: {18:5} And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons
4582 and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the
4583 mount of God: {18:6} And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro
4584 am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
4585
4586 {18:7} And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did
4587 obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of [their]
4588 welfare; and they came into the tent. {18:8} And Moses told his father
4589 in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for
4590 Israel's sake, [and] all the travail that had come upon them by the
4591 way, and [how] the LORD delivered them. {18:9} And Jethro rejoiced for
4592 all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had
4593 delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians. {18:10} And Jethro said,
4594 Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the
4595 Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the
4596 people from under the hand of the Egyptians. {18:11} Now I know that
4597 the LORD [is] greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they
4598 dealt proudly [he was] above them. {18:12} And Jethro, Moses' father in
4599 law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and
4600 all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father in law before
4601 God.
4602
4603 {18:13} And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge
4604 the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the
4605 evening. {18:14} And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to
4606 the people, he said, What [is] this thing that thou doest to the
4607 people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by
4608 thee from morning unto even? {18:15} And Moses said unto his father in
4609 law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God: {18:16} When
4610 they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and
4611 another, and I do make [them] know the statutes of God, and his laws.
4612 {18:17} And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou
4613 doest [is] not good. {18:18} Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and
4614 this people that [is] with thee: for this thing [is] too heavy for
4615 thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone. {18:19} Hearken
4616 now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with
4617 thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the
4618 causes unto God: {18:20} And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws,
4619 and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that
4620 they must do. {18:21} Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people
4621 able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and
4622 place [such] over them, [to be] rulers of thousands, [and] rulers of
4623 hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: {18:22} And let them
4624 judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, [that] every great
4625 matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall
4626 judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear [the
4627 burden] with thee. {18:23} If thou shalt do this thing, and God command
4628 thee [so,] then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall
4629 also go to their place in peace. {18:24} So Moses hearkened to the
4630 voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said. {18:25} And
4631 Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the
4632 people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and
4633 rulers of tens. {18:26} And they judged the people at all seasons: the
4634 hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged
4635 themselves.
4636
4637 {18:27} And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way
4638 into his own land.
4639
4640 {19:1} In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone
4641 forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they [into] the
4642 wilderness of Sinai. {19:2} For they were departed from Rephidim, and
4643 were come [to] the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness;
4644 and there Israel camped before the mount. {19:3} And Moses went up unto
4645 God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus
4646 shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
4647 {19:4} Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and [how] I bare you
4648 on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. {19:5} Now therefore, if
4649 ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a
4650 peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth [is]
4651 mine: {19:6} And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy
4652 nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak unto the children
4653 of Israel.
4654
4655 {19:7} And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and
4656 laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
4657 {19:8} And all the people answered together, and said, All that the
4658 LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people
4659 unto the LORD. {19:9} And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto
4660 thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee,
4661 and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto
4662 the LORD.
4663
4664 {19:10} And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and
4665 sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
4666 {19:11} And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD
4667 will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. {19:12}
4668 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take
4669 heed to yourselves, [that ye] go [not] up into the mount, or touch the
4670 border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to
4671 death: {19:13} There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be
4672 stoned, or shot through; whether [it be] beast or man, it shall not
4673 live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
4674
4675 {19:14} And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and
4676 sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. {19:15} And he
4677 said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at
4678 [your] wives.
4679
4680 {19:16} And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that
4681 there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount,
4682 and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people
4683 that [was] in the camp trembled. {19:17} And Moses brought forth the
4684 people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether
4685 part of the mount. {19:18} And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke,
4686 because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof
4687 ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
4688 {19:19} And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed
4689 louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
4690 {19:20} And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the
4691 mount: and the LORD called Moses [up] to the top of the mount; and
4692 Moses went up. {19:21} And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge
4693 the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of
4694 them perish. {19:22} And let the priests also, which come near to the
4695 LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them. {19:23}
4696 And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai:
4697 for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify
4698 it. {19:24} And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou
4699 shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and
4700 the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth
4701 upon them. {19:25} So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto
4702 them.
4703
4704 {20:1} And God spake all these words, saying, {20:2} I [am] the LORD
4705 thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the
4706 house of bondage. {20:3} Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4707 {20:4} Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness
4708 [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth
4709 beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth: {20:5} Thou shalt
4710 not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God
4711 [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
4712 children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;
4713 {20:6} And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep
4714 my commandments. {20:7} Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy
4715 God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his
4716 name in vain. {20:8} Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. {20:9}
4717 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: {20:10} But the
4718 seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt
4719 not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant,
4720 nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within
4721 thy gates: {20:11} For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth,
4722 the sea, and all that in them [is,] and rested the seventh day:
4723 wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
4724
4725 {20:12} Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long
4726 upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. {20:13} Thou shalt
4727 not kill. {20:14} Thou shalt not commit adultery. {20:15} Thou shalt
4728 not steal. {20:16} Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy
4729 neighbour. {20:17} Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou
4730 shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his
4731 maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that [is] thy
4732 neighbour's.
4733
4734 {20:18} And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings,
4735 and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the
4736 people saw [it,] they removed, and stood afar off. {20:19} And they
4737 said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God
4738 speak with us, lest we die. {20:20} And Moses said unto the people,
4739 Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before
4740 your faces, that ye sin not. {20:21} And the people stood afar off, and
4741 Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God [was.]
4742
4743 {20:22} And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the
4744 children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from
4745 heaven. {20:23} Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall
4746 ye make unto you gods of gold.
4747
4748 {20:24} An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt
4749 sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy
4750 sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come
4751 unto thee, and I will bless thee. {20:25} And if thou wilt make me an
4752 altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift
4753 up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. {20:26} Neither shalt thou
4754 go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered
4755 thereon.
4756
4757 {21:1} Now these [are] the judgments which thou shalt set before
4758 them. {21:2} If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve:
4759 and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. {21:3} If he came
4760 in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his
4761 wife shall go out with him. {21:4} If his master have given him a wife,
4762 and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children
4763 shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself. {21:5} And if
4764 the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my
4765 children; I will not go out free: {21:6} Then his master shall bring
4766 him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the
4767 door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and
4768 he shall serve him for ever.
4769
4770 {21:7} And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall
4771 not go out as the menservants do. {21:8} If she please not her master,
4772 who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed:
4773 to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he
4774 hath dealt deceitfully with her. {21:9} And if he have betrothed her
4775 unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
4776 {21:10} If he take him another [wife;] her food, her raiment, and her
4777 duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. {21:11} And if he do not these
4778 three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
4779
4780 {21:12} He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put
4781 to death. {21:13} And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver [him]
4782 into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
4783 {21:14} But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay
4784 him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
4785
4786 {21:15} And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be
4787 surely put to death.
4788
4789 {21:16} And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be
4790 found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
4791
4792 {21:17} And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely
4793 be put to death.
4794
4795 {21:18} And if men strive together, and one smite another with a
4796 stone, or with [his] fist, and he die not, but keepeth [his] bed:
4797 {21:19} If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he
4798 that smote [him] be quit: only he shall pay [for] the loss of his time,
4799 and shall cause [him] to be thoroughly healed.
4800
4801 {21:20} And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and
4802 he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. {21:21}
4803 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished:
4804 for he [is] his money.
4805
4806 {21:22} If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her
4807 fruit depart [from her,] and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely
4808 punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he
4809 shall pay as the judges [determine. ]{21:23} And if [any] mischief
4810 follow, then thou shalt give life for life, {21:24} Eye for eye, tooth
4811 for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, {21:25} Burning for burning,
4812 wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
4813
4814 {21:26} And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his
4815 maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
4816 {21:27} And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his
4817 maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
4818
4819 {21:28} If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox
4820 shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner
4821 of the ox [shall be] quit. {21:29} But if the ox were wont to push with
4822 his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he
4823 hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox
4824 shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death. {21:30} If
4825 there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom
4826 of his life whatsoever is laid upon him. {21:31} Whether he have gored
4827 a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be
4828 done unto him. {21:32} If the ox shall push a manservant or a
4829 maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver,
4830 and the ox shall be stoned.
4831
4832 {21:33} And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit,
4833 and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein; {21:34} The owner
4834 of the pit shall make [it] good, [and] give money unto the owner of
4835 them; and the dead [beast] shall be his.
4836
4837 {21:35} And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they
4838 shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead [ox]
4839 also they shall divide. {21:36} Or if it be known that the ox hath used
4840 to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall
4841 surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.
4842
4843 {22:1} If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell
4844 it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
4845
4846 {22:2} If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die,
4847 [there shall] no blood [be shed] for him. {22:3} If the sun be risen
4848 upon him, [there shall be] blood [shed] for him; [for] he should make
4849 full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his
4850 theft. {22:4} If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive,
4851 whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
4852
4853 {22:5} If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and
4854 shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field; of the
4855 best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he
4856 make restitution.
4857
4858 {22:6} If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of
4859 corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed [therewith;] he
4860 that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
4861
4862 {22:7} If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to
4863 keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found,
4864 let him pay double. {22:8} If the thief be not found, then the master
4865 of the house shall be brought unto the judges, [to see] whether he have
4866 put his hand unto his neighbour's goods. {22:9} For all manner of
4867 trespass, [whether it be] for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, [or]
4868 for any manner of lost thing, which [another] challengeth to be his,
4869 the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; [and] whom the
4870 judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour. {22:10}
4871 If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or
4872 any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man
4873 seeing [it: ]{22:11} [Then] shall an oath of the LORD be between them
4874 both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the
4875 owner of it shall accept [thereof,] and he shall not make [it] good.
4876 {22:12} And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto
4877 the owner thereof. {22:13} If it be torn in pieces, [then] let him
4878 bring it [for] witness, [and] he shall not make good that which was
4879 torn.
4880
4881 {22:14} And if a man borrow [ought] of his neighbour, and it be
4882 hurt, or die, the owner thereof [being] not with it, he shall surely
4883 make [it] good. {22:15} [But] if the owner thereof [be] with it, he
4884 shall not make [it] good: if it [be] an hired [thing,] it came for his
4885 hire.
4886
4887 {22:16} And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie
4888 with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. {22:17} If her
4889 father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money
4890 according to the dowry of virgins.
4891
4892 {22:18} Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
4893
4894 {22:19} Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
4895
4896 {22:20} He that sacrificeth unto [any] god, save unto the LORD only,
4897 he shall be utterly destroyed.
4898
4899 {22:21} Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye
4900 were strangers in the land of Egypt.
4901
4902 {22:22} Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. {22:23}
4903 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will
4904 surely hear their cry; {22:24} And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will
4905 kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your
4906 children fatherless.
4907
4908 {22:25} If thou lend money to [any of] my people [that is] poor by
4909 thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay
4910 upon him usury. {22:26} If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to
4911 pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
4912 {22:27} For that [is] his covering only, it [is] his raiment for his
4913 skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth
4914 unto me, that I will hear; for I [am] gracious.
4915
4916 {22:28} Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy
4917 people.
4918
4919 {22:29} Thou shalt not delay [to offer] the first of thy ripe
4920 fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give
4921 unto me. {22:30} Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, [and] with thy
4922 sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou
4923 shalt give it me.
4924
4925 {22:31} And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat [any]
4926 flesh [that is] torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the
4927 dogs.
4928
4929 {23:1} Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with
4930 the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
4931
4932 {23:2} Thou shalt not follow a multitude to [do] evil; neither shalt
4933 thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest [judgment:]
4934
4935 {23:3} Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
4936
4937 {23:4} If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou
4938 shalt surely bring it back to him again. {23:5} If thou see the ass of
4939 him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to
4940 help him, thou shalt surely help with him. {23:6} Thou shalt not wrest
4941 the judgment of thy poor in his cause. {23:7} Keep thee far from a
4942 false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will
4943 not justify the wicked.
4944
4945 {23:8} And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise,
4946 and perverteth the words of the righteous.
4947
4948 {23:9} Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart
4949 of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. {23:10}
4950 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits
4951 thereof: {23:11} But the seventh [year] thou shalt let it rest and lie
4952 still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the
4953 beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy
4954 vineyard, [and] with thy oliveyard. {23:12} Six days thou shalt do thy
4955 work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine
4956 ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be
4957 refreshed. {23:13} And in all [things] that I have said unto you be
4958 circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let
4959 it be heard out of thy mouth.
4960
4961 {23:14} Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
4962 {23:15} Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat
4963 unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed
4964 of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall
4965 appear before me empty:) {23:16} And the feast of harvest, the
4966 firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the
4967 feast of ingathering, [which is] in the end of the year, when thou hast
4968 gathered in thy labours out of the field. {23:17} Three times in the
4969 year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD. {23:18} Thou shalt
4970 not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall
4971 the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning. {23:19} The first of
4972 the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD
4973 thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
4974
4975 {23:20} Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the
4976 way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. {23:21}
4977 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not
4978 pardon your transgressions: for my name [is] in him. {23:22} But if
4979 thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will
4980 be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine
4981 adversaries. {23:23} For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring
4982 thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and
4983 the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them
4984 off. {23:24} Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor
4985 do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite
4986 break down their images. {23:25} And ye shall serve the LORD your God,
4987 and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness
4988 away from the midst of thee.
4989
4990 {23:26} There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy
4991 land: the number of thy days I will fulfil. {23:27} I will send my fear
4992 before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come,
4993 and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee. {23:28}
4994 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite,
4995 the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. {23:29} I will not
4996 drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become
4997 desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee. {23:30} By
4998 little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be
4999 increased, and inherit the land. {23:31} And I will set thy bounds from
5000 the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert
5001 unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into
5002 your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee. {23:32} Thou
5003 shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. {23:33} They
5004 shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if
5005 thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
5006
5007 {24:1} And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and
5008 Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and
5009 worship ye afar off. {24:2} And Moses alone shall come near the LORD:
5010 but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
5011
5012 {24:3} And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD,
5013 and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and
5014 said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do. {24:4} And
5015 Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the
5016 morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars,
5017 according to the twelve tribes of Israel. {24:5} And he sent young men
5018 of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and
5019 sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD. {24:6} And Moses took
5020 half of the blood, and put [it] in basons; and half of the blood he
5021 sprinkled on the altar. {24:7} And he took the book of the covenant,
5022 and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the
5023 LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient. {24:8} And Moses took the
5024 blood, and sprinkled [it] on the people, and said, Behold the blood of
5025 the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these
5026 words.
5027
5028 {24:9} Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy
5029 of the elders of Israel: {24:10} And they saw the God of Israel: and
5030 [there was] under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone,
5031 and as it were the body of heaven in [his] clearness. {24:11} And upon
5032 the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they
5033 saw God, and did eat and drink.
5034
5035 {24:12} And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount,
5036 and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and
5037 commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. {24:13}
5038 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the
5039 mount of God. {24:14} And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for
5040 us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur [are] with
5041 you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them. {24:15}
5042 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.
5043 {24:16} And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud
5044 covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of
5045 the midst of the cloud. {24:17} And the sight of the glory of the LORD
5046 [was] like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the
5047 children of Israel. {24:18} And Moses went into the midst of the cloud,
5048 and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days
5049 and forty nights.
5050
5051 {25:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {25:2} Speak unto the
5052 children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that
5053 giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. {25:3}
5054 And this [is] the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and
5055 silver, and brass, {25:4} And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
5056 linen, and goats [hair, ]{25:5} And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers'
5057 skins, and shittim wood, {25:6} Oil for the light, spices for anointing
5058 oil, and for sweet incense, {25:7} Onyx stones, and stones to be set in
5059 the ephod, and in the breastplate. {25:8} And let them make me a
5060 sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. {25:9} According to all that I
5061 shew thee, [after] the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of
5062 all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make [it.]
5063
5064 {25:10} And they shall make an ark [of] shittim wood: two cubits and
5065 a half [shall be] the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the
5066 breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. {25:11} And
5067 thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou
5068 overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about. {25:12}
5069 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put [them] in the
5070 four corners thereof; and two rings [shall be] in the one side of it,
5071 and two rings in the other side of it. {25:13} And thou shalt make
5072 staves [of] shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. {25:14} And thou
5073 shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the
5074 ark may be borne with them. {25:15} The staves shall be in the rings of
5075 the ark: they shall not be taken from it. {25:16} And thou shalt put
5076 into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee. {25:17} And thou
5077 shalt make a mercy seat [of] pure gold: two cubits and a half [shall
5078 be] the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
5079 {25:18} And thou shalt make two cherubims [of] gold, [of] beaten work
5080 shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. {25:19} And
5081 make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end:
5082 [even] of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends
5083 thereof. {25:20} And the cherubim shall stretch forth [their] wings on
5084 high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces [shall
5085 look] one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the
5086 cherubims be. {25:21} And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the
5087 ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give
5088 thee. {25:22} And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with
5089 thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which
5090 [are] upon the ark of the testimony, of all [things] which I will give
5091 thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
5092
5093 {25:23} Thou shalt also make a table [of] shittim wood: two cubits
5094 [shall be] the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a
5095 cubit and a half the height thereof. {25:24} And thou shalt overlay it
5096 with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about. {25:25}
5097 And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about,
5098 and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.
5099 {25:26} And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the
5100 rings in the four corners that [are] on the four feet thereof. {25:27}
5101 Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to
5102 bear the table. {25:28} And thou shalt make the staves [of] shittim
5103 wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with
5104 them. {25:29} And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons
5105 thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: [of]
5106 pure gold shalt thou make them. {25:30} And thou shalt set upon the
5107 table shewbread before me alway.
5108
5109 {25:31} And thou shalt make a candlestick [of] pure gold: [of]
5110 beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches,
5111 his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same. {25:32}
5112 And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of
5113 the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the
5114 candlestick out of the other side: {25:33} Three bowls made like unto
5115 almonds, [with] a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made
5116 like almonds in the other branch, [with] a knop and a flower: so in the
5117 six branches that come out of the candlestick. {25:34} And in the
5118 candlestick [shall be] four bowls made like unto almonds, [with] their
5119 knops and their flowers. {25:35} And [there shall be] a knop under two
5120 branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a
5121 knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that
5122 proceed out of the candlestick. {25:36} Their knops and their branches
5123 shall be of the same: all it [shall be] one beaten work [of] pure gold.
5124 {25:37} And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall
5125 light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.

5142 fifty loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the
5143 coupling of the second; that the loops may take hold one of another.
5144 {26:6} And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the
5145 curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one tabernacle.
5146
5147 {26:7} And thou shalt make curtains [of] goats' [hair] to be a
5148 covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make. {26:8}
5149 The length of one curtain [shall be] thirty cubits, and the breadth of
5150 one curtain four cubits: and the eleven curtains [shall be all] of one
5151 measure. {26:9} And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and

5157 into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.
5158 {26:12} And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the
5159 half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside of the
5160 tabernacle. {26:13} And a cubit on the one side, and a cubit on the
5161 other side of that which remaineth in the length of the curtains of the
5162 tent, it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and
5163 on that side, to cover it. {26:14} And thou shalt make a covering for
5164 the tent [of] rams' skins dyed red, and a covering above [of] badgers
5165 skins.

5167 {26:15} And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle [of] shittim
5168 wood standing up. {26:16} Ten cubits [shall be] the length of a board,
5169 and a cubit and a half [shall be] the breadth of one board. {26:17} Two
5170 tenons [shall there be] in one board, set in order one against another:
5171 thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle. {26:18} And
5172 thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the

5201 be made: {26:32} And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim
5202 [wood] overlaid with gold: their hooks [shall be of] gold, upon the
5203 four sockets of silver.
5204
5205 {26:33} And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou
5206 mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and
5207 the vail shall divide unto you between the holy [place] and the most
5208 holy. {26:34} And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the
5209 testimony in the most holy [place. ]{26:35} And thou shalt set the
5210 table without the vail, and the candlestick over against the table on
5211 the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and thou shalt put the
5212 table on the north side. {26:36} And thou shalt make an hanging for the

5266
5267 {27:20} And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they
5268 bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to
5269 burn always. {27:21} In the tabernacle of the congregation without the
5270 vail, which [is] before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order
5271 it from evening to morning before the LORD: [it shall be] a statute for
5272 ever unto their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.
5273
5274 {28:1} And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with
5275 him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in
5276 the priest's office, [even] Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and
5277 Ithamar, Aaron's sons. {28:2} And thou shalt make holy garments for
5278 Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty. {28:3} And thou shalt speak
5279 unto all [that are] wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of
5280 wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he
5281 may minister unto me in the priest's office. {28:4} And these [are] the
5282 garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a
5283 robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make
5284 holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister
5285 unto me in the priest's office. {28:5} And they shall take gold, and
5286 blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.
5287
5288 {28:6} And they shall make the ephod [of] gold, [of] blue, and [of]
5289 purple, [of] scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work. {28:7}
5290 It shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges
5291 thereof; and [so] it shall be joined together. {28:8} And the curious
5292 girdle of the ephod, which [is] upon it, shall be of the same,
5293 according to the work thereof; [even of] gold, [of] blue, and purple,
5294 and scarlet, and fine twined linen. {28:9} And thou shalt take two onyx
5295 stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel: {28:10}
5296 Six of their names on one stone, and [the other] six names of the rest
5297 on the other stone, according to their birth. {28:11} With the work of
5298 an engraver in stone, [like] the engravings of a signet, shalt thou
5299 engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: thou
5300 shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold. {28:12} And thou shalt put
5301 the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod [for] stones of memorial
5302 unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before
5303 the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
5304
5305 {28:13} And thou shalt make ouches [of] gold; {28:14} And two chains
5306 [of] pure gold at the ends; [of] wreathen work shalt thou make them,
5307 and fasten the wreathen chains to the ouches.
5308
5309 {28:15} And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning
5310 work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; [of] gold, [of]
5311 blue, and [of] purple, and [of] scarlet, and [of] fine twined linen,
5312 shalt thou make it. {28:16} Foursquare it shall be [being] doubled; a
5313 span [shall be] the length thereof, and a span [shall be] the breadth
5314 thereof. {28:17} And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, [even]
5315 four rows of stones: [the first] row [shall be] a sardius, a topaz, and
5316 a carbuncle: [this shall be] the first row. {28:18} And the second row
5317 [shall be] an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. {28:19} And the third
5318 row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst. {28:20} And the fourth row a
5319 beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their
5320 inclosings. {28:21} And the stones shall be with the names of the
5321 children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, [like] the
5322 engravings of a signet; every one with his name shall they be according
5323 to the twelve tribes.
5324
5325 {28:22} And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains at the ends
5326 [of] wreathen work [of] pure gold. {28:23} And thou shalt make upon the
5327 breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two
5328 ends of the breastplate. {28:24} And thou shalt put the two wreathen
5329 [chains] of gold in the two rings [which are] on the ends of the
5330 breastplate. {28:25} And [the other] two ends of the two wreathen
5331 [chains] thou shalt fasten in the two ouches, and put [them] on the
5332 shoulderpieces of the ephod before it.
5333
5334 {28:26} And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put
5335 them upon the two ends of the breastplate in the border thereof, which
5336 [is] in the side of the ephod inward. {28:27} And two [other] rings of
5337 gold thou shalt make, and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod
5338 underneath, toward the forepart thereof, over against the [other]
5339 coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod. {28:28} And
5340 they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of
5341 the ephod with a lace of blue, that [it] may be above the curious
5342 girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the
5343 ephod. {28:29} And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel
5344 in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto
5345 the holy [place,] for a memorial before the LORD continually.
5346
5347 {28:30} And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim
5348 and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in
5349 before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of
5350 Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.
5351
5352 {28:31} And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all [of] blue.
5353 {28:32} And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the midst
5354 thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of
5355 it, as it were the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.
5356
5357 {28:33} And [beneath] upon the hem of it thou shalt make
5358 pomegranates [of] blue, and [of] purple, and [of] scarlet, round about
5359 the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about: {28:34} A
5360 golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon
5361 the hem of the robe round about. {28:35} And it shall be upon Aaron to
5362 minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy
5363 [place] before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he die not.
5364
5365 {28:36} And thou shalt make a plate [of] pure gold, and grave upon
5366 it, [like] the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. {28:37}
5367 And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre;
5368 upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be. {28:38} And it shall be
5369 upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy
5370 things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy
5371 gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be
5372 accepted before the LORD.
5373
5374 {28:39} And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou
5375 shalt make the mitre [of] fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle
5376 [of] needlework.
5377
5378 {28:40} And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt
5379 make for them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make for them, for glory
5380 and for beauty. {28:41} And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother,
5381 and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and
5382 sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
5383 {28:42} And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their
5384 nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:
5385 {28:43} And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come
5386 in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto
5387 the altar to minister in the holy [place;] that they bear not iniquity,
5388 and die: [it shall be] a statute for ever unto him and his seed after
5389 him.
5390
5391 {29:1} And this [is] the thing that thou shalt do unto them to
5392 hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office: Take one young
5393 bullock, and two rams without blemish, {29:2} And unleavened bread, and
5394 cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with
5395 oil: [of] wheaten flour shalt thou make them. {29:3} And thou shalt put
5396 them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock
5397 and the two rams. {29:4} And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto
5398 the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them
5399 with water. {29:5} And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron
5400 the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the
5401 breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod: {29:6}
5402 And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon
5403 the mitre. {29:7} Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour [it]
5404 upon his head, and anoint him. {29:8} And thou shalt bring his sons,
5405 and put coats upon them. {29:9} And thou shalt gird them with girdles,
5406 Aaron and his sons, and put the bonnets on them: and the priest's
5407 office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute: and thou shalt
5408 consecrate Aaron and his sons. {29:10} And thou shalt cause a bullock
5409 to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron and
5410 his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock. {29:11}
5411 And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, [by] the door of the
5412 tabernacle of the congregation. {29:12} And thou shalt take of the
5413 blood of the bullock, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar with thy
5414 finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar. {29:13}
5415 And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul
5416 [that is] above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is
5417 upon them, and burn [them] upon the altar. {29:14} But the flesh of the
5418 bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without
5419 the camp: it [is] a sin offering.
5420
5421 {29:15} Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall
5422 put their hands upon the head of the ram. {29:16} And thou shalt slay
5423 the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle [it] round about
5424 upon the altar. {29:17} And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash
5425 the inwards of him, and his legs, and put [them] unto his pieces, and
5426 unto his head. {29:18} And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the
5427 altar: it [is] a burnt offering unto the LORD: it [is] a sweet savour,
5428 an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
5429
5430 {29:19} And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons
5431 shall put their hands upon the head of the ram. {29:20} Then shalt thou
5432 kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put [it] upon the tip of the
5433 right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and
5434 upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their
5435 right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about. {29:21}
5436 And thou shalt take of the blood that [is] upon the altar, and of the
5437 anointing oil, and sprinkle [it] upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and
5438 upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall
5439 be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments
5440 with him. {29:22} Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump,
5441 and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the [caul] above the liver,
5442 and the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] upon them, and the right
5443 shoulder; for it [is] a ram of consecration: {29:23} And one loaf of
5444 bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of
5445 the unleavened bread that [is] before the LORD: {29:24} And thou shalt
5446 put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shalt
5447 wave them [for] a wave offering before the LORD. {29:25} And thou shalt
5448 receive them of their hands, and burn [them] upon the altar for a burnt
5449 offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD: it [is] an offering made
5450 by fire unto the LORD. {29:26} And thou shalt take the breast of the
5451 ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave it [for] a wave offering before
5452 the LORD: and it shall be thy part. {29:27} And thou shalt sanctify the
5453 breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering,
5454 which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the consecration,
5455 [even] of [that] which [is] for Aaron, and of [that] which is for his
5456 sons: {29:28} And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for
5457 ever from the children of Israel: for it [is] an heave offering: and it
5458 shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice
5459 of their peace offerings, [even] their heave offering unto the LORD.
5460
5461 {29:29} And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him,
5462 to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them. {29:30} [And]
5463 that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days, when
5464 he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the
5465 holy [place.]
5466
5467 {29:31} And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seethe
5468 his flesh in the holy place. {29:32} And Aaron and his sons shall eat
5469 the flesh of the ram, and the bread that [is] in the basket, [by] the
5470 door of the tabernacle of the congregation. {29:33} And they shall eat
5471 those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate [and] to
5472 sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat [thereof,] because they
5473 [are] holy. {29:34} And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations, or
5474 of the bread, remain unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the
5475 remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it [is] holy.
5476 {29:35} And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according
5477 to all [things] which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou
5478 consecrate them. {29:36} And thou shalt offer every day a bullock [for]
5479 a sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when
5480 thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to
5481 sanctify it. {29:37} Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the
5482 altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever
5483 toucheth the altar shall be holy.
5484
5485 {29:38} Now this [is that] which thou shalt offer upon the altar;
5486 two lambs of the first year day by day continually. {29:39} The one
5487 lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt
5488 offer at even: {29:40} And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour
5489 mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth
5490 part of an hin of wine [for] a drink offering. {29:41} And the other
5491 lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the
5492 meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering
5493 thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
5494 {29:42} [This shall be] a continual burnt offering throughout your
5495 generations [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before
5496 the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee. {29:43} And
5497 there I will meet with the children of Israel, and [the tabernacle]
5498 shall be sanctified by my glory. {29:44} And I will sanctify the
5499 tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also
5500 both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest's office.
5501
5502 {29:45} And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be
5503 their God. {29:46} And they shall know that I [am] the LORD their God,
5504 that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell
5505 among them: I [am] the LORD their God.
5506
5507 {30:1} And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: [of]
5508 shittim wood shalt thou make it. {30:2} A cubit [shall be] the length
5509 thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and
5510 two cubits [shall be] the height thereof: the horns thereof [shall be]
5511 of the same. {30:3} And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top
5512 thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and
5513 thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about. {30:4} And two
5514 golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two
5515 corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make [it;] and
5516 they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal. {30:5} And
5517 thou shalt make the staves [of] shittim wood, and overlay them with
5518 gold. {30:6} And thou shalt put it before the vail that [is] by the ark
5519 of the testimony, before the mercy seat that [is] over the testimony,
5520 where I will meet with thee. {30:7} And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet
5521 incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn
5522 incense upon it. {30:8} And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he
5523 shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD
5524 throughout your generations. {30:9} Ye shall offer no strange incense
5525 thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour
5526 drink offering thereon. {30:10} And Aaron shall make an atonement upon
5527 the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of
5528 atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout
5529 your generations: it [is] most holy unto the LORD.
5530
5531 {30:11} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {30:12} When thou
5532 takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall
5533 they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou
5534 numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when [thou]
5535 numberest them. {30:13} This they shall give, every one that passeth
5536 among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the
5537 sanctuary: (a shekel [is] twenty gerahs:) an half shekel [shall be] the
5538 offering of the LORD. {30:14} Every one that passeth among them that
5539 are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering
5540 unto the LORD. {30:15} The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall
5541 not give less than half a shekel, when [they] give an offering unto the
5542 LORD, to make an atonement for your souls. {30:16} And thou shalt take
5543 the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for
5544 the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a
5545 memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an
5546 atonement for your souls.
5547
5548 {30:17} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {30:18} Thou shalt
5549 also make a laver [of] brass, and his foot [also of] brass, to wash
5550 [withal:] and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the
5551 congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein. {30:19}
5552 For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
5553 {30:20} When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they
5554 shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the
5555 altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD: {30:21}
5556 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and
5557 it shall be a statute for ever to them, [even] to him and to his seed
5558 throughout their generations.
5559
5560 {30:22} Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {30:23} Take
5561 thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred
5562 [shekels,] and of sweet cinnamon half so much, [even] two hundred and
5563 fifty [shekels,] and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty [shekels,
5564 ]{30:24} And of cassia five hundred [shekels,] after the shekel of the
5565 sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: {30:25} And thou shalt make it an
5566 oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the
5567 apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil. {30:26} And thou shalt
5568 anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the
5569 testimony, {30:27} And the table and all his vessels, and the
5570 candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense, {30:28} And the
5571 altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his
5572 foot. {30:29} And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy:
5573 whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy. {30:30} And thou shalt anoint
5574 Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that [they] may minister unto
5575 me in the priest's office. {30:31} And thou shalt speak unto the
5576 children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me
5577 throughout your generations. {30:32} Upon man's flesh shall it not be
5578 poured, neither shall ye make [any other] like it, after the
5579 composition of it: it [is] holy, [and] it shall be holy unto you.
5580 {30:33} Whosoever compoundeth [any] like it, or whosoever putteth [any]
5581 of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
5582
5583 {30:34} And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices,
5584 stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; [these] sweet spices with pure
5585 frankincense: of each shall there be a like [weight: ]{30:35} And thou
5586 shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary,
5587 tempered together, pure [and] holy: {30:36} And thou shalt beat [some]
5588 of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle
5589 of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you
5590 most holy. {30:37} And [as for] the perfume which thou shalt make, ye
5591 shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it
5592 shall be unto thee holy for the LORD. {30:38} Whosoever shall make like
5593 unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
5594
5595 {31:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {31:2} See, I have
5596 called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of
5597 Judah: {31:3} And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom,
5598 and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of
5599 workmanship, {31:4} To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in
5600 silver, and in brass, {31:5} And in cutting of stones, to set [them,]
5601 and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship. {31:6}
5602 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of
5603 the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have
5604 put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee; {31:7}
5605 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and
5606 the mercy seat that [is] thereupon, and all the furniture of the
5607 tabernacle, {31:8} And the table and his furniture, and the pure
5608 candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense, {31:9}
5609 And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver
5610 and his foot, {31:10} And the cloths of service, and the holy garments
5611 for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the
5612 priest's office, {31:11} And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for
5613 the holy [place:] according to all that I have commanded thee shall
5614 they do.
5615
5616 {31:12} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {31:13} Speak thou
5617 also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall
5618 keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations;
5619 that ye may know that I [am] the LORD that doth sanctify you. {31:14}
5620 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it [is] holy unto you: every
5621 one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth
5622 [any] work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
5623 {31:15} Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of
5624 rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth [any] work in the sabbath day,
5625 he shall surely be put to death. {31:16} Wherefore the children of
5626 Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their
5627 generations, [for] a perpetual covenant. {31:17} It [is] a sign between
5628 me and the children of Israel for ever: for [in] six days the LORD made
5629 heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
5630
5631 {31:18} And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing
5632 with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone,
5633 written with the finger of God.
5634
5635 {32:1} And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out
5636 of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and
5637 said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for [as for]
5638 this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot
5639 not what is become of him. {32:2} And Aaron said unto them, Break off
5640 the golden earrings, which [are] in the ears of your wives, of your
5641 sons, and of your daughters, and bring [them] unto me. {32:3} And all
5642 the people brake off the golden earrings which [were] in their ears,
5643 and brought [them] unto Aaron. {32:4} And he received [them] at their
5644 hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a
5645 molten calf: and they said, These [be] thy gods, O Israel, which
5646 brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. {32:5} And when Aaron saw
5647 [it,] he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and
5648 said, To morrow [is] a feast to the LORD. {32:6} And they rose up early
5649 on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace
5650 offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to
5651 play.
5652
5653 {32:7} And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy
5654 people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted
5655 [themselves: ]{32:8} They have turned aside quickly out of the way
5656 which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have
5657 worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These [be] thy
5658 gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5659 {32:9} And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and,
5660 behold, it [is] a stiffnecked people: {32:10} Now therefore let me
5661 alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume
5662 them: and I will make of thee a great nation. {32:11} And Moses
5663 besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot
5664 against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of
5665 Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? {32:12} Wherefore
5666 should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them
5667 out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face
5668 of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil
5669 against thy people. {32:13} Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy
5670 servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them,
5671 I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land
5672 that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall
5673 inherit [it] for ever. {32:14} And the LORD repented of the evil which
5674 he thought to do unto his people.
5675
5676 {32:15} And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two
5677 tables of the testimony [were] in his hand: the tables [were] written
5678 on both their sides; on the one side and on the other [were] they
5679 written. {32:16} And the tables [were] the work of God, and the writing
5680 [was] the writing of God, graven upon the tables. {32:17} And when
5681 Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto
5682 Moses, [There is] a noise of war in the camp. {32:18} And he said, [It
5683 is] not the voice of [them that] shout for mastery, neither [is it] the
5684 voice of [them that] cry for being overcome: [but] the noise of [them
5685 that] sing do I hear.
5686
5687 {32:19} And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp,
5688 that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and
5689 he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
5690 {32:20} And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt [it] in the
5691 fire, and ground [it] to powder, and strawed [it] upon the water, and
5692 made the children of Israel drink [of it. ]{32:21} And Moses said unto
5693 Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great
5694 a sin upon them? {32:22} And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord
5695 wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are [set] on mischief.
5696 {32:23} For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us:
5697 for [as for] this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of
5698 Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. {32:24} And I said unto them,
5699 Whosoever hath any gold, let them break [it] off. So they gave [it] me:
5700 then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
5701
5702 {32:25} And when Moses saw that the people [were] naked; (for Aaron
5703 had made them naked unto [their] shame among their enemies:) {32:26}
5704 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who [is] on the
5705 LORD'S side? [let him come] unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered
5706 themselves together unto him. {32:27} And he said unto them, Thus saith
5707 the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, [and] go
5708 in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man
5709 his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
5710 {32:28} And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses:
5711 and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. {32:29}
5712 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even
5713 every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon
5714 you a blessing this day.
5715
5716 {32:30} And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the
5717 people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD;
5718 peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin. {32:31} And Moses
5719 returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great
5720 sin, and have made them gods of gold. {32:32} Yet now, if thou wilt
5721 forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book
5722 which thou hast written. {32:33} And the LORD said unto Moses,
5723 Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
5724 {32:34} Therefore now go, lead the people unto [the place] of which I
5725 have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee:
5726 nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
5727 {32:35} And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf,
5728 which Aaron made.
5729
5730 {33:1} And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, [and] go up hence, thou
5731 and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt,
5732 unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob,
5733 saying, Unto thy seed will I give it: {33:2} And I will send an angel
5734 before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the
5735 Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: {33:3} Unto a
5736 land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of
5737 thee; for thou [art] a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the
5738 way.
5739
5740 {33:4} And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned:
5741 and no man did put on him his ornaments. {33:5} For the LORD had said
5742 unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye [are] a stiffnecked
5743 people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume
5744 thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know
5745 what to do unto thee. {33:6} And the children of Israel stripped
5746 themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb. {33:7} And Moses took
5747 the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the
5748 camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to
5749 pass, [that] every one which sought the LORD went out unto the
5750 tabernacle of the congregation, which [was] without the camp. {33:8}
5751 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, [that]
5752 all the people rose up, and stood every man [at] his tent door, and
5753 looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle. {33:9} And
5754 it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy
5755 pillar descended, and stood [at] the door of the tabernacle, and [the]
5756 LORD talked with Moses. {33:10} And all the people saw the cloudy
5757 pillar stand [at] the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and
5758 worshipped, every man [in] his tent door. {33:11} And the LORD spake
5759 unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he
5760 turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a
5761 young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
5762
5763 {33:12} And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me,
5764 Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send
5765 with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also
5766 found grace in my sight. {33:13} Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have
5767 found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee,
5768 that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation [is]
5769 thy people. {33:14} And he said, My presence shall go [with thee,] and
5770 I will give thee rest. {33:15} And he said unto him, If thy presence go
5771 not [with me,] carry us not up hence. {33:16} For wherein shall it be
5772 known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? [is it]
5773 not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy
5774 people, from all the people that [are] upon the face of the earth.
5775 {33:17} And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that
5776 thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know
5777 thee by name. {33:18} And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
5778 {33:19} And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and
5779 I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious
5780 to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew
5781 mercy. {33:20} And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall
5782 no man see me, and live. {33:21} And the LORD said, Behold, [there is]
5783 a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: {33:22} And it shall
5784 come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a
5785 clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
5786 {33:23} And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back
5787 parts: but my face shall not be seen.
5788
5789 {34:1} And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone
5790 like unto the first: and I will write upon [these] tables the words
5791 that were in the first tables, which thou brakest. {34:2} And be ready
5792 in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and
5793 present thyself there to me in the top of the mount. {34:3} And no man
5794 shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the
5795 mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.
5796
5797 {34:4} And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and
5798 Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as
5799 the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of
5800 stone. {34:5} And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him
5801 there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. {34:6} And the LORD passed
5802 by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and
5803 gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, {34:7}
5804 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and
5805 sin, and that will by no means clear [the guilty;] visiting the
5806 iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's
5807 children, unto the third and to the fourth [generation. ]{34:8} And
5808 Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
5809 {34:9} And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let
5810 my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it [is] a stiffnecked people;
5811 and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
5812
5813 {34:10} And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy
5814 people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth,
5815 nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou [art] shall see
5816 the work of the LORD: for it [is] a terrible thing that I will do with
5817 thee. {34:11} Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold,
5818 I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the
5819 Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. {34:12}
5820 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of
5821 the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of
5822 thee: {34:13} But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images,
5823 and cut down their groves: {34:14} For thou shalt worship no other god:
5824 for the LORD, whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God: {34:15} Lest
5825 thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a
5826 whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and [one]
5827 call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; {34:16} And thou take of
5828 their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after
5829 their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods. {34:17}
5830 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
5831
5832 {34:18} The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days
5833 thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of
5834 the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
5835 {34:19} All that openeth the matrix [is] mine; and every firstling
5836 among thy cattle, [whether] ox or sheep, [that is male. ]{34:20} But
5837 the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou
5838 redeem [him] not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of
5839 thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
5840
5841 {34:21} Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt
5842 rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
5843
5844 {34:22} And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the
5845 firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the
5846 year's end.
5847
5848 {34:23} Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before
5849 the Lord GOD, the God of Israel. {34:24} For I will cast out the
5850 nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man
5851 desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy
5852 God thrice in the year. {34:25} Thou shalt not offer the blood of my
5853 sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the
5854 passover be left unto the morning. {34:26} The first of the firstfruits
5855 of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou
5856 shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. {34:27} And the LORD said
5857 unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words
5858 I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel. {34:28} And he was
5859 there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat
5860 bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the
5861 covenant, the ten commandments.
5862
5863 {34:29} And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai
5864 with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from
5865 the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he
5866 talked with him. {34:30} And when Aaron and all the children of Israel
5867 saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to
5868 come nigh him. {34:31} And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all
5869 the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with
5870 them. {34:32} And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and
5871 he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in
5872 mount Sinai. {34:33} And [till] Moses had done speaking with them, he
5873 put a vail on his face. {34:34} But when Moses went in before the LORD
5874 to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came
5875 out, and spake unto the children of Israel [that] which he was
5876 commanded. {34:35} And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses,
5877 that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his
5878 face again, until he went in to speak with him.
5879
5880 {35:1} And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of
5881 Israel together, and said unto them, These [are] the words which the
5882 LORD hath commanded, that [ye] should do them. {35:2} Six days shall
5883 work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day,
5884 a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be
5885 put to death. {35:3} Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your
5886 habitations upon the sabbath day.
5887
5888 {35:4} And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of
5889 Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
5890 {35:5} Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever [is]
5891 of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold,
5892 and silver, and brass, {35:6} And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and
5893 fine linen, and goats' [hair, ]{35:7} And rams' skins dyed red, and
5894 badgers' skins, and shittim wood, {35:8} And oil for the light, and
5895 spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense, {35:9} And onyx
5896 stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
5897 {35:10} And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that
5898 the LORD hath commanded; {35:11} The tabernacle, his tent, and his
5899 covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his
5900 sockets, {35:12} The ark, and the staves thereof, [with] the mercy
5901 seat, and the vail of the covering, {35:13} The table, and his staves,
5902 and all his vessels, and the shewbread, {35:14} The candlestick also
5903 for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the
5904 light, {35:15} And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing
5905 oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the
5906 entering in of the tabernacle, {35:16} The altar of burnt offering,
5907 with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and
5908 his foot, {35:17} The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their
5909 sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court, {35:18} The pins of
5910 the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords, {35:19} The
5911 cloths of service, to do service in the holy [place,] the holy garments
5912 for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the
5913 priest's office.
5914
5915 {35:20} And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed
5916 from the presence of Moses. {35:21} And they came, every one whose
5917 heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, [and]
5918 they brought the LORD'S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the
5919 congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.
5920 {35:22} And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing
5921 hearted, [and] brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets,
5922 all jewels of gold: and every man that offered [offered] an offering of
5923 gold unto the LORD. {35:23} And every man, with whom was found blue,
5924 and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' [hair,] and red
5925 skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought [them. ]{35:24} Every one
5926 that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD'S
5927 offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work
5928 of the service, brought [it. ]{35:25} And all the women that were wise
5929 hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had
5930 spun, [both] of blue, and of purple, [and] of scarlet, and of fine
5931 linen. {35:26} And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom
5932 spun goats' [hair. ]{35:27} And the rulers brought onyx stones, and
5933 stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate; {35:28} And
5934 spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the
5935 sweet incense. {35:29} The children of Israel brought a willing
5936 offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them
5937 willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded
5938 to be made by the hand of Moses.
5939
5940 {35:30} And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD
5941 hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the
5942 tribe of Judah; {35:31} And he hath filled him with the spirit of God,
5943 in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of
5944 workmanship; {35:32} And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and
5945 in silver, and in brass, {35:33} And in the cutting of stones, to set
5946 [them,] and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
5947 {35:34} And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, [both] he, and
5948 Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. {35:35} Them hath
5949 he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the
5950 engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue,
5951 and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, [even]
5952 of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.
5953
5954 {36:1} Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted
5955 man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work
5956 all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all
5957 that the LORD had commanded. {36:2} And Moses called Bezaleel and
5958 Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put
5959 wisdom, [even] every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the
5960 work to do it: {36:3} And they received of Moses all the offering,
5961 which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of
5962 the sanctuary, to make it [withal.] And they brought yet unto him free
5963 offerings every morning. {36:4} And all the wise men, that wrought all
5964 the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;
5965
5966 {36:5} And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more
5967 than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to
5968 make. {36:6} And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be
5969 proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make
5970 any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were
5971 restrained from bringing. {36:7} For the stuff they had was sufficient
5972 for all the work to make it, and too much.
5973
5974 {36:8} And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work
5975 of the tabernacle made ten curtains [of] fine twined linen, and blue,
5976 and purple, and scarlet: [with] cherubims of cunning work made he them.
5977 {36:9} The length of one curtain [was] twenty and eight cubits, and the
5978 breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains [were] all of one
5979 size. {36:10} And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and
5980 [the other] five curtains he coupled one unto another. {36:11} And he
5981 made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the
5982 coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of [another] curtain,
5983 in the coupling of the second. {36:12} Fifty loops made he in one
5984 curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which [was]
5985 in the coupling of the second: the loops held one [curtain] to another.
5986 {36:13} And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one
5987 unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.
5988
5989 {36:14} And he made curtains [of] goats' [hair] for the tent over
5990 the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them. {36:15} The length of one
5991 curtain [was] thirty cubits, and four cubits [was] the breadth of one
5992 curtain: the eleven curtains [were] of one size. {36:16} And he coupled
5993 five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves. {36:17}
5994 And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the
5995 coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which
5996 coupleth the second. {36:18} And he made fifty taches [of] brass to
5997 couple the tent together, that it might be one. {36:19} And he made a
5998 covering for the tent [of] rams' skins dyed red, and a covering [of]
5999 badgers' skins above [that.]
6000
6001 {36:20} And he made boards for the tabernacle [of] shittim wood,
6002 standing up. {36:21} The length of a board [was] ten cubits, and the
6003 breadth of a board one cubit and a half. {36:22} One board had two
6004 tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the
6005 boards of the tabernacle. {36:23} And he made boards for the
6006 tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward: {36:24} And
6007 forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets
6008 under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board
6009 for his two tenons. {36:25} And for the other side of the tabernacle,
6010 [which is] toward the north corner, he made twenty boards, {36:26} And
6011 their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two
6012 sockets under another board. {36:27} And for the sides of the
6013 tabernacle westward he made six boards. {36:28} And two boards made he
6014 for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides. {36:29} And they
6015 were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one
6016 ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners. {36:30} And
6017 there were eight boards; and their sockets [were] sixteen sockets of
6018 silver, under every board two sockets.
6019
6020 {36:31} And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the
6021 one side of the tabernacle, {36:32} And five bars for the boards of the
6022 other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the
6023 tabernacle for the sides westward. {36:33} And he made the middle bar
6024 to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other. {36:34} And
6025 he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings [of] gold [to
6026 be] places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
6027
6028 {36:35} And he made a vail [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and
6029 fine twined linen: [with] cherubims made he it of cunning work. {36:36}
6030 And he made thereunto four pillars [of] shittim [wood,] and overlaid
6031 them with gold: their hooks [were of] gold; and he cast for them four
6032 sockets of silver.
6033
6034 {36:37} And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door [of] blue,
6035 and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework; {36:38}
6036 And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their
6037 chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets [were of]
6038 brass.
6039
6040 {37:1} And Bezaleel made the ark [of] shittim wood: two cubits and a
6041 half [was] the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it,
6042 and a cubit and a half the height of it: {37:2} And he overlaid it with
6043 pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round
6044 about. {37:3} And he cast for it four rings of gold, [to be set] by the
6045 four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two
6046 rings upon the other side of it. {37:4} And he made staves [of] shittim
6047 wood, and overlaid them with gold. {37:5} And he put the staves into
6048 the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6049
6050 {37:6} And he made the mercy seat [of] pure gold: two cubits and a
6051 half [was] the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth
6052 thereof. {37:7} And he made two cherubims [of] gold, beaten out of one
6053 piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat; {37:8} One
6054 cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the [other] end
6055 on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two
6056 ends thereof. {37:9} And the cherubims spread out [their] wings on
6057 high, [and] covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their
6058 faces one to another; [even ]to the mercy seatward were the faces of
6059 the cherubims.
6060
6061 {37:10} And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits [was] the
6062 length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half
6063 the height thereof: {37:11} And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made
6064 thereunto a crown of gold round about. {37:12} Also he made thereunto a
6065 border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the
6066 border thereof round about. {37:13} And he cast for it four rings of
6067 gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that [were] in the four
6068 feet thereof. {37:14} Over against the border were the rings, the
6069 places for the staves to bear the table. {37:15} And he made the staves
6070 [of] shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
6071 {37:16} And he made the vessels which [were] upon the table, his
6072 dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal,
6073 [of] pure gold.
6074
6075 {37:17} And he made the candlestick [of] pure gold: [of] beaten work
6076 made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his
6077 knops, and his flowers, were of the same: {37:18} And six branches
6078 going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out
6079 of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of
6080 the other side thereof: {37:19} Three bowls made after the fashion of
6081 almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like
6082 almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six
6083 branches going out of the candlestick. {37:20} And in the candlestick
6084 [were] four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:
6085 {37:21} And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two
6086 branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same,
6087 according to the six branches going out of it. {37:22} Their knops and
6088 their branches were of the same: all of it [was] one beaten work [of]
6089 pure gold. {37:23} And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and
6090 his snuffdishes, [of] pure gold. {37:24} [Of] a talent of pure gold
6091 made he it, and all the vessels thereof.
6092
6093 {37:25} And he made the incense altar [of] shittim wood: the length
6094 of it [was] a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it [was]
6095 foursquare; and two cubits [was] the height of it; the horns thereof
6096 were of the same. {37:26} And he overlaid it with pure gold, [both] the
6097 top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also
6098 he made unto it a crown of gold round about. {37:27} And he made two
6099 rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it,
6100 upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it
6101 withal. {37:28} And he made the staves [of] shittim wood, and overlaid
6102 them with gold.
6103
6104 {37:29} And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of
6105 sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.
6106
6107 {38:1} And he made the altar of burnt offering [of] shittim wood:
6108 five cubits [was] the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth
6109 thereof; [it was] foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
6110 {38:2} And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the
6111 horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass. {38:3}
6112 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels,
6113 and the basons, [and] the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels
6114 thereof made he [of] brass. {38:4} And he made for the altar a brasen
6115 grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of
6116 it. {38:5} And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of
6117 brass, [to be] places for the staves. {38:6} And he made the staves
6118 [of] shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass. {38:7} And he put the
6119 staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he
6120 made the altar hollow with boards.
6121
6122 {38:8} And he made the laver [of] brass, and the foot of it [of]
6123 brass, of the lookingglasses of [the women] assembling, which assembled
6124 [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
6125
6126 {38:9} And he made the court: on the south side southward the
6127 hangings of the court [were of] fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:
6128 {38:10} Their pillars [were] twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty;
6129 the hooks of the pillars and their fillets [were of] silver. {38:11}
6130 And for the north side [the hangings were] an hundred cubits, their
6131 pillars [were] twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of
6132 the pillars and their fillets [of] silver. {38:12} And for the west
6133 side [were] hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their
6134 sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets [of] silver.
6135 {38:13} And for the east side eastward fifty cubits. {38:14} The
6136 hangings of the one side [of the gate were] fifteen cubits; their
6137 pillars three, and their sockets three. {38:15} And for the other side
6138 of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, [were] hangings of
6139 fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three. {38:16}
6140 All the hangings of the court round about [were] of fine twined linen.
6141 {38:17} And the sockets for the pillars [were of] brass; the hooks of
6142 the pillars and their fillets [of] silver; and the overlaying of their
6143 chapiters [of] silver; and all the pillars of the court [were] filleted
6144 with silver. {38:18} And the hanging for the gate of the court [was]
6145 needlework, [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen:
6146 and twenty cubits [was] the length, and the height in the breadth [was]
6147 five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court. {38:19} And their
6148 pillars [were] four, and their sockets [of] brass four; their hooks
6149 [of] silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets
6150 [of] silver. {38:20} And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the
6151 court round about, [were of] brass.
6152
6153 {38:21} This is the sum of the tabernacle, [even] of the tabernacle
6154 of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses,
6155 [for] the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron
6156 the priest. {38:22} And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the
6157 tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses. {38:23} And
6158 with him [was] Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an
6159 engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in
6160 purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen. {38:24} All the gold that was
6161 occupied for the work in all the work of the holy [place,] even the
6162 gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred
6163 and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary. {38:25} And the
6164 silver of them that were numbered of the congregation [was] an hundred
6165 talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen
6166 shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: {38:26} A bekah for every
6167 man, [that is,] half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for
6168 every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward,
6169 for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty
6170 [men. ]{38:27} And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the
6171 sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred
6172 sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket. {38:28} And of
6173 the thousand seven hundred seventy and five [shekels] he made hooks for
6174 the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them. {38:29}
6175 And the brass of the offering [was] seventy talents, and two thousand
6176 and four hundred shekels. {38:30} And therewith he made the sockets to
6177 the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar,
6178 and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar, {38:31}
6179 And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court
6180 gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court
6181 round about.
6182
6183 {39:1} And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of
6184 service, to do service in the holy [place,] and made the holy garments
6185 for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses. {39:2} And he made the ephod
6186 [of] gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. {39:3}
6187 And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut [it into] wires,
6188 to work [it] in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in
6189 the fine linen, [with] cunning work. {39:4} They made shoulderpieces
6190 for it, to couple [it] together: by the two edges was it coupled
6191 together. {39:5} And the curious girdle of his ephod, that [was] upon
6192 it, [was] of the same, according to the work thereof; [of] gold, blue,
6193 and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded
6194 Moses.
6195
6196 {39:6} And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold,
6197 graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of
6198 Israel. {39:7} And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, [that
6199 they should be] stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the
6200 LORD commanded Moses.
6201
6202 {39:8} And he made the breastplate [of] cunning work, like the work
6203 of the ephod; [of] gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined
6204 linen. {39:9} It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a
6205 span [was] the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, [being]
6206 doubled. {39:10} And they set in it four rows of stones: [the first]
6207 row [was] a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this [was] the first
6208 row. {39:11} And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
6209 {39:12} And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst. {39:13}
6210 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: [they were]
6211 inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings. {39:14} And the stones
6212 [were] according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve,
6213 according to their names, [like] the engravings of a signet, every one
6214 with his name, according to the twelve tribes. {39:15} And they made
6215 upon the breastplate chains at the ends, [of] wreathen work [of] pure
6216 gold. {39:16} And they made two ouches [of] gold, and two gold rings;
6217 and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate. {39:17} And
6218 they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends
6219 of the breastplate. {39:18} And the two ends of the two wreathen chains
6220 they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of
6221 the ephod, before it. {39:19} And they made two rings of gold, and put
6222 [them] on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which
6223 [was] on the side of the ephod inward. {39:20} And they made two
6224 [other] golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod
6225 underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the [other]
6226 coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod. {39:21} And
6227 they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod
6228 with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the
6229 ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as
6230 the LORD commanded Moses.
6231
6232 {39:22} And he made the robe of the ephod [of] woven work, all [of]
6233 blue. {39:23} And [there was] an hole in the midst of the robe, as the
6234 hole of an habergeon, [with] a band round about the hole, that it
6235 should not rend. {39:24} And they made upon the hems of the robe
6236 pomegranates [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, [and] twined [linen.
6237 ]{39:25} And they made bells [of] pure gold, and put the bells between
6238 the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the
6239 pomegranates; {39:26} A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a
6240 pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister [in;] as the
6241 LORD commanded Moses.
6242
6243 {39:27} And they made coats [of] fine linen [of] woven work for
6244 Aaron, and for his sons, {39:28} And a mitre [of] fine linen, and
6245 goodly bonnets [of] fine linen, and linen breeches [of] fine twined
6246 linen, {39:29} And a girdle [of] fine twined linen, and blue, and
6247 purple, and scarlet, [of] needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.
6248
6249 {39:30} And they made the plate of the holy crown [of] pure gold,
6250 and wrote upon it a writing, [like to] the engravings of a signet,
6251 HOLINESS TO THE LORD. {39:31} And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to
6252 fasten [it] on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
6253
6254 {39:32} Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the
6255 congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all
6256 that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
6257
6258 {39:33} And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and
6259 all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars,
6260 and his sockets, {39:34} And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and
6261 the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering, {39:35}
6262 The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,
6263 {39:36} The table, [and] all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,
6264 {39:37} The pure candlestick, [with] the lamps thereof, [even with] the
6265 lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for
6266 light, {39:38} And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the
6267 sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door, {39:39} The
6268 brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels,
6269 the laver and his foot, {39:40} The hangings of the court, his pillars,
6270 and his sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his
6271 pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the
6272 tent of the congregation, {39:41} The cloths of service to do service
6273 in the holy [place,] and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and
6274 his sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office. {39:42}
6275 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of
6276 Israel made all the work. {39:43} And Moses did look upon all the work,
6277 and, behold, they have done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had
6278 they done it: and Moses blessed them.
6279
6280 {40:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {40:2} On the first
6281 day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of
6282 the congregation. {40:3} And thou shalt put therein the ark of the
6283 testimony, and cover the ark with the vail. {40:4} And thou shalt bring
6284 in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order
6285 upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps
6286 thereof. {40:5} And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense
6287 before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the
6288 tabernacle. {40:6} And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering
6289 before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
6290 {40:7} And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the
6291 congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein. {40:8} And
6292 thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the
6293 court gate. {40:9} And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint
6294 the tabernacle, and all that [is] therein, and shalt hallow it, and all
6295 the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy. {40:10} And thou shalt
6296 anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and
6297 sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy. {40:11} And
6298 thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it. {40:12} And
6299 thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of
6300 the congregation, and wash them with water. {40:13} And thou shalt put
6301 upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he
6302 may minister unto me in the priest's office. {40:14} And thou shalt
6303 bring his sons, and clothe them with coats: {40:15} And thou shalt
6304 anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister
6305 unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an
6306 everlasting priesthood throughout their generations. {40:16} Thus did
6307 Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
6308
6309 {40:17} And it came to pass in the first month in the second year,
6310 on the first [day] of the month, [that] the tabernacle was reared up.
6311 {40:18} And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets,
6312 and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared
6313 up his pillars. {40:19} And he spread abroad the tent over the
6314 tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD
6315 commanded Moses.
6316
6317 {40:20} And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the
6318 staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark: {40:21}
6319 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the
6320 covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded
6321 Moses.
6322
6323 {40:22} And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon
6324 the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail. {40:23} And he
6325 set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had
6326 commanded Moses.
6327
6328 {40:24} And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation,
6329 over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
6330 {40:25} And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded
6331 Moses.
6332
6333 {40:26} And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation
6334 before the vail: {40:27} And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the
6335 LORD commanded Moses.
6336
6337 {40:28} And he set up the hanging [at] the door of the tabernacle.
6338 {40:29} And he put the altar of burnt offering [by] the door of the
6339 tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the
6340 burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
6341
6342 {40:30} And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation
6343 and the altar, and put water there, to wash [withal. ]{40:31} And Moses
6344 and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
6345 {40:32} When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they
6346 came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
6347 {40:33} And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the
6348 altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the
6349 work.
6350
6351 {40:34} Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the
6352 glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. {40:35} And Moses was not able
6353 to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode
6354 thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. {40:36} And
6355 when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of
6356 Israel went onward in all their journeys: {40:37} But if the cloud were
6357 not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken
6358 up. {40:38} For the cloud of the LORD [was] upon the tabernacle by day,
6359 and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel,
6360 throughout all their journeys.
6361
6362
6363
6364
6365
6366 The Third Book of Moses, called Leviticus
6367
6368 {1:1} And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the
6369 tabernacle of the congregation, saying, {1:2} Speak unto the children
6370 of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto
6371 the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, [even] of the
6372 herd, and of the flock. {1:3} If his offering [be] a burnt sacrifice of
6373 the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of
6374 his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the
6375 congregation before the LORD. {1:4} And he shall put his hand upon the
6376 head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make
6377 atonement for him. {1:5} And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD:
6378 and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the
6379 blood round about upon the altar that [is by] the door of the
6380 tabernacle of the congregation. {1:6} And he shall flay the burnt
6381 offering, and cut it into his pieces. {1:7} And the sons of Aaron the
6382 priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon
6383 the fire: {1:8} And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the
6384 head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that [is] on the fire which
6385 [is] upon the altar: {1:9} But his inwards and his legs shall he wash
6386 in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, [to be] a burnt
6387 sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
6388
6389 {1:10} And if his offering [be] of the flocks, [namely,] of the
6390 sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male
6391 without blemish. {1:11} And he shall kill it on the side of the altar
6392 northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall
6393 sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar. {1:12} And he shall cut
6394 it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay
6395 them in order on the wood that [is] on the fire which [is] upon the
6396 altar: {1:13} But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water:
6397 and the priest shall bring [it] all, and burn [it] upon the altar: it
6398 [is] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour
6399 unto the LORD.
6400
6401 {1:14} And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD [be]
6402 of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young
6403 pigeons. {1:15} And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring
6404 off his head, and burn [it] on the altar; and the blood thereof shall
6405 be wrung out at the side of the altar: {1:16} And he shall pluck away
6406 his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east
6407 part, by the place of the ashes: {1:17} And he shall cleave it with the
6408 wings thereof, [but] shall not divide [it] asunder: and the priest
6409 shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that [is] upon the fire: it
6410 [is] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour
6411 unto the LORD.
6412
6413 {2:1} And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his
6414 offering shall be [of] fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and
6415 put frankincense thereon: {2:2} And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons
6416 the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour
6417 thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and
6418 the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, [to be] an
6419 offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: {2:3} And the
6420 remnant of the meat offerings [shall be] Aaron's and his sons': [it is]
6421 a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
6422
6423 {2:4} And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the
6424 oven, [it shall be] unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or
6425 unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
6426
6427 {2:5} And if thy oblation [be] a meat offering [baken] in a pan, it
6428 shall be [of] fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil. {2:6} Thou shalt
6429 part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it [is] a meat offering.
6430
6431 {2:7} And if thy oblation [be] a meat offering [baken] in the frying
6432 pan, it shall be made [of] fine flour with oil. {2:8} And thou shalt
6433 bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the LORD: and
6434 when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.
6435 {2:9} And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial
6436 thereof, and shall burn [it] upon the altar: [it is] an offering made
6437 by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. {2:10} And that which is left
6438 of the meat offering [shall be] Aaron's and his sons': [it is] a thing
6439 most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire. {2:11} No meat
6440 offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made with
6441 leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of
6442 the LORD made by fire.
6443
6444 {2:12} As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them
6445 unto the LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet
6446 savour. {2:13} And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou
6447 season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of
6448 thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings
6449 thou shalt offer salt. {2:14} And if thou offer a meat offering of thy
6450 firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of
6451 thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, [even] corn
6452 beaten out of full ears. {2:15} And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay
6453 frankincense thereon: it [is] a meat offering. {2:16} And the priest
6454 shall burn the memorial of it, [part] of the beaten corn thereof, and
6455 [part] of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: [it is]
6456 an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
6457
6458 {3:1} And if his oblation [be] a sacrifice of peace offering, if he
6459 offer [it] of the herd; whether [it be] a male or female, he shall
6460 offer it without blemish before the LORD. {3:2} And he shall lay his
6461 hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it [at] the door of the
6462 tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the priests shall
6463 sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about. {3:3} And he shall offer
6464 of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto
6465 the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that [is]
6466 upon the inwards, {3:4} And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on
6467 them, which [is] by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the
6468 kidneys, it shall he take away. {3:5} And Aaron's sons shall burn it on
6469 the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which [is] upon the wood that [is]
6470 on the fire: [it is] an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto
6471 the LORD.
6472
6473 {3:6} And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto the
6474 LORD [be] of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without
6475 blemish. {3:7} If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer
6476 it before the LORD. {3:8} And he shall lay his hand upon the head of
6477 his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation:
6478 and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the
6479 altar. {3:9} And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering
6480 an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat thereof, [and] the
6481 whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the backbone; and the fat that
6482 covereth the inwards, and all the fat that [is] upon the inwards,
6483 {3:10} And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] upon them, which [is]
6484 by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall
6485 he take away. {3:11} And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: [it
6486 is] the food of the offering made by fire unto the LORD.
6487
6488 {3:12} And if his offering [be] a goat, then he shall offer it
6489 before the LORD. {3:13} And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it,
6490 and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of
6491 Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about.
6492 {3:14} And he shall offer thereof his offering, [even] an offering made
6493 by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the
6494 fat that [is] upon the inwards, {3:15} And the two kidneys, and the fat
6495 that [is] upon them, which [is] by the flanks, and the caul above the
6496 liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away. {3:16} And the priest
6497 shall burn them upon the altar: [it is] the food of the offering made
6498 by fire for a sweet savour: all the fat [is] the LORD'S. {3:17} [It
6499 shall be] a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your
6500 dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.
6501
6502 {4:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {4:2} Speak unto the
6503 children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance
6504 against any of the commandments of the LORD [concerning things] which
6505 ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them: {4:3} If the
6506 priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then
6507 let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock
6508 without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering. {4:4} And he shall
6509 bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
6510 before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head, and
6511 kill the bullock before the LORD. {4:5} And the priest that is anointed
6512 shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of
6513 the congregation: {4:6} And the priest shall dip his finger in the
6514 blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, before
6515 the vail of the sanctuary. {4:7} And the priest shall put [some] of the
6516 blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD,
6517 which [is] in the tabernacle of the congregation: and shall pour all
6518 the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt
6519 offering, which [is at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
6520 {4:8} And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the
6521 sin offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that
6522 [is] upon the inwards, {4:9} And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is]
6523 upon them, which [is] by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with
6524 the kidneys, it shall he take away, {4:10} As it was taken off from the
6525 bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall burn
6526 them upon the altar of the burnt offering. {4:11} And the skin of the
6527 bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his
6528 inwards, and his dung, {4:12} Even the whole bullock shall he carry
6529 forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured
6530 out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out
6531 shall he be burnt.
6532
6533 {4:13} And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through
6534 ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they
6535 have done [somewhat against] any of the commandments of the LORD
6536 [concerning things] which should not be done, and are guilty; {4:14}
6537 When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the
6538 congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him
6539 before the tabernacle of the congregation. {4:15} And the elders of the
6540 congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before
6541 the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD. {4:16} And
6542 the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the
6543 tabernacle of the congregation: {4:17} And the priest shall dip his
6544 finger [in some] of the blood, and sprinkle [it] seven times before the
6545 LORD, [even] before the vail. {4:18} And he shall put [some] of the
6546 blood upon the horns of the altar which [is] before the LORD, that [is]
6547 in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood
6548 at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which [is at] the
6549 door of the tabernacle of the congregation. {4:19} And he shall take
6550 all his fat from him, and burn [it] upon the altar. {4:20} And he shall
6551 do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering, so
6552 shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them,
6553 and it shall be forgiven them. {4:21} And he shall carry forth the
6554 bullock without the camp, and burn him as he burned the first bullock:
6555 it [is] a sin offering for the congregation.
6556
6557 {4:22} When a ruler hath sinned, and done [somewhat] through
6558 ignorance [against] any of the commandments of the LORD his God
6559 [concerning things] which should not be done, and is guilty; {4:23} Or
6560 if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall
6561 bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish: {4:24}
6562 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the
6563 place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it [is] a sin
6564 offering. {4:25} And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin
6565 offering with his finger, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar of
6566 burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar
6567 of burnt offering. {4:26} And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar,
6568 as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall
6569 make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be
6570 forgiven him.
6571
6572 {4:27} And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance,
6573 while he doeth [somewhat against] any of the commandments of the LORD
6574 [concerning things] which ought not to be done, and be guilty; {4:28}
6575 Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he
6576 shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish,
6577 for his sin which he hath sinned. {4:29} And he shall lay his hand upon
6578 the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of
6579 the burnt offering. {4:30} And the priest shall take of the blood
6580 thereof with his finger, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar of
6581 burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom
6582 of the altar. {4:31} And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the
6583 fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the
6584 priest shall burn [it] upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD;
6585 and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be
6586 forgiven him. {4:32} And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he
6587 shall bring it a female without blemish. {4:33} And he shall lay his
6588 hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay it for a sin offering
6589 in the place where they kill the burnt offering {4:34} And the priest
6590 shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put
6591 [it] upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out
6592 all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar: {4:35} And he shall
6593 take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken away
6594 from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn
6595 them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the
6596 LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath
6597 committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
6598
6599 {5:1} And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and [is] a
6600 witness, whether he hath seen or known [of it;] if he do not utter
6601 [it,] then he shall bear his iniquity. {5:2} Or if a soul touch any
6602 unclean thing, whether [it be] a carcase of an unclean beast, or a
6603 carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things,
6604 and [if] it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
6605 {5:3} Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness [it
6606 be] that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he
6607 knoweth [of it,] then he shall be guilty. {5:4} Or if a soul swear,
6608 pronouncing with [his] lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever [it
6609 be] that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him;
6610 when he knoweth [of it,] then he shall be guilty in one of these. {5:5}
6611 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these [things,] that
6612 he shall confess that he hath sinned in that [thing: ]{5:6} And he
6613 shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he
6614 hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for
6615 a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him
6616 concerning his sin. {5:7} And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then
6617 he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two
6618 turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD; one for a sin
6619 offering, and the other for a burnt offering. {5:8} And he shall bring
6620 them unto the priest, who shall offer [that] which [is] for the sin
6621 offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not
6622 divide [it] asunder: {5:9} And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the
6623 sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood
6624 shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it [is] a sin offering.
6625 {5:10} And he shall offer the second [for] a burnt offering, according
6626 to the manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his
6627 sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
6628
6629 {5:11} But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young
6630 pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth
6631 part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil
6632 upon it, neither shall he put [any] frankincense thereon: for it [is] a
6633 sin offering. {5:12} Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the
6634 priest shall take his handful of it, [even] a memorial thereof, and
6635 burn [it] on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto
6636 the LORD: it [is] a sin offering. {5:13} And the priest shall make an
6637 atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of
6638 these, and it shall be forgiven him: and [the remnant] shall be the
6639 priest's, as a meat offering.
6640
6641 {5:14} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {5:15} If a soul
6642 commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the
6643 LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without
6644 blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver,
6645 after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering: {5:16} And
6646 he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing,
6647 and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest: and
6648 the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass
6649 offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
6650
6651 {5:17} And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are
6652 forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he wist
6653 [it] not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity. {5:18} And he
6654 shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy
6655 estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest
6656 shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he
6657 erred and wist [it] not, and it shall be forgiven him. {5:19} It [is] a
6658 trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the LORD.
6659
6660 {6:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {6:2} If a soul sin,
6661 and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in
6662 that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing
6663 taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour; {6:3} Or have
6664 found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth
6665 falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein: {6:4}
6666 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall
6667 restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath
6668 deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the
6669 lost thing which he found, {6:5} Or all that about which he hath sworn
6670 falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the
6671 fifth part more thereto, [and] give it unto him to whom it
6672 appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering. {6:6} And he shall
6673 bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without blemish out of
6674 the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the
6675 priest: {6:7} And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the
6676 LORD: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath
6677 done in trespassing therein.
6678
6679 {6:8} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {6:9} Command Aaron and
6680 his sons, saying, This [is] the law of the burnt offering: It [is] the
6681 burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto
6682 the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it. {6:10}
6683 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches
6684 shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath
6685 consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them
6686 beside the altar. {6:11} And he shall put off his garments, and put on
6687 other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean
6688 place. {6:12} And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it
6689 shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every
6690 morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn
6691 thereon the fat of the peace offerings. {6:13} The fire shall ever be
6692 burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
6693
6694 {6:14} And this [is] the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron
6695 shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar. {6:15} And he shall
6696 take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering, and of the
6697 oil thereof, and all the frankincense which [is] upon the meat
6698 offering, and shall burn [it] upon the altar [for] a sweet savour,
6699 [even] the memorial of it, unto the LORD. {6:16} And the remainder
6700 thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it be
6701 eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the
6702 congregation they shall eat it. {6:17} It shall not be baken with
6703 leaven. I have given it [unto them for] their portion of my offerings
6704 made by fire; it [is] most holy, as [is] the sin offering, and as the
6705 trespass offering. {6:18} All the males among the children of Aaron
6706 shall eat of it. [It shall be] a statute for ever in your generations
6707 concerning the offerings of the LORD made by fire: every one that
6708 toucheth them shall be holy.
6709
6710 {6:19} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {6:20} This [is] the
6711 offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the LORD
6712 in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine
6713 flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and
6714 half thereof at night. {6:21} In a pan it shall be made with oil; [and
6715 when it is] baken, thou shalt bring it in: [and] the baken pieces of
6716 the meat offering shalt thou offer [for] a sweet savour unto the LORD.
6717 {6:22} And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall
6718 offer it: [it is] a statute for ever unto the LORD, it shall be wholly
6719 burnt. {6:23} For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly
6720 burnt: it shall not be eaten.
6721
6722 {6:24} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {6:25} Speak unto
6723 Aaron and to his sons, saying, This [is] the law of the sin offering:
6724 In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering
6725 be killed before the LORD: it [is] most holy. {6:26} The priest that
6726 offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten,
6727 in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation. {6:27} Whatsoever
6728 shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there is
6729 sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that
6730 whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place. {6:28} But the earthen
6731 vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it be sodden in a
6732 brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water. {6:29} All
6733 the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it [is] most holy.
6734 {6:30} And no sin offering, whereof [any] of the blood is brought into
6735 the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile [withal] in the holy
6736 [place,] shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
6737
6738 {7:1} Likewise this [is] the law of the trespass offering: it [is]
6739 most holy. {7:2} In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall
6740 they kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he
6741 sprinkle round about upon the altar. {7:3} And he shall offer of it all
6742 the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, {7:4}
6743 And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them, which [is] by the
6744 flanks, and the caul [that is] above the liver, with the kidneys, it
6745 shall he take away: {7:5} And the priest shall burn them upon the altar
6746 [for] an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it [is] a trespass
6747 offering. {7:6} Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it
6748 shall be eaten in the holy place: it [is] most holy. {7:7} As the sin
6749 offering [is,] so [is] the trespass offering: [there is] one law for
6750 them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have [it. ]{7:8}
6751 And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering, [even] the
6752 priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he
6753 hath offered. {7:9} And all the meat offering that is baken in the
6754 oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall
6755 be the priest's that offereth it. {7:10} And every meat offering,
6756 mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one [as
6757 much] as another. {7:11} And this [is] the law of the sacrifice of
6758 peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the LORD. {7:12} If he offer
6759 it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of
6760 thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers
6761 anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.
6762 {7:13} Besides the cakes, he shall offer [for] his offering leavened
6763 bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings. {7:14}
6764 And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation [for] an heave
6765 offering unto the LORD, [and] it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth
6766 the blood of the peace offerings. {7:15} And the flesh of the sacrifice
6767 of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day
6768 that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
6769 {7:16} But if the sacrifice of his offering [be] a vow, or a voluntary
6770 offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his
6771 sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:
6772 {7:17} But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day
6773 shall be burnt with fire. {7:18} And if [any] of the flesh of the
6774 sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it
6775 shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that
6776 offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it
6777 shall bear his iniquity. {7:19} And the flesh that toucheth any unclean
6778 [thing] shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the
6779 flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof. {7:20} But the soul that
6780 eateth [of] the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that
6781 [pertain] unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even that
6782 soul shall be cut off from his people. {7:21} Moreover the soul that
6783 shall touch any unclean [thing, as] the uncleanness of man, or [any]
6784 unclean beast, or any abominable unclean [thing,] and eat of the flesh
6785 of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which [pertain] unto the LORD,
6786 even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
6787
6788 {7:22} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {7:23} Speak unto the
6789 children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of
6790 sheep, or of goat. {7:24} And the fat of the beast that dieth of
6791 itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in
6792 any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it. {7:25} For whosoever
6793 eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by
6794 fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth [it] shall be cut off
6795 from his people. {7:26} Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood,
6796 [whether it be] of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings. {7:27}
6797 Whatsoever soul [it be] that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul
6798 shall be cut off from his people.
6799
6800 {7:28} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {7:29} Speak unto the
6801 children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace
6802 offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD of the
6803 sacrifice of his peace offerings. {7:30} His own hands shall bring the
6804 offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall
6805 he bring, that the breast may be waved [for] a wave offering before the
6806 LORD. {7:31} And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the
6807 breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'. {7:32} And the right shoulder
6808 shall ye give unto the priest [for] an heave offering of the sacrifices
6809 of your peace offerings. {7:33} He among the sons of Aaron, that
6810 offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the
6811 right shoulder for [his] part. {7:34} For the wave breast and the heave
6812 shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices
6813 of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and
6814 unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel.
6815
6816 {7:35} This [is the portion] of the anointing of Aaron, and of the
6817 anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire,
6818 in the day [when] he presented them to minister unto the LORD in the
6819 priest's office; {7:36} Which the LORD commanded to be given them of
6820 the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, [by] a
6821 statute for ever throughout their generations. {7:37} This [is] the law
6822 of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering,
6823 and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the
6824 sacrifice of the peace offerings; {7:38} Which the LORD commanded Moses
6825 in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to
6826 offer their oblations unto the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
6827
6828 {8:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {8:2} Take Aaron and
6829 his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a
6830 bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened
6831 bread; {8:3} And gather thou all the congregation together unto the
6832 door of the tabernacle of the congregation. {8:4} And Moses did as the
6833 LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the
6834 door of the tabernacle of the congregation. {8:5} And Moses said unto
6835 the congregation, This [is] the thing which the LORD commanded to be
6836 done. {8:6} And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with
6837 water. {8:7} And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the
6838 girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and
6839 he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound [it] unto
6840 him therewith. {8:8} And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put
6841 in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim. {8:9} And he put the mitre
6842 upon his head; also upon the mitre, [even] upon his forefront, did he
6843 put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses.
6844 {8:10} And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle
6845 and all that [was] therein, and sanctified them. {8:11} And he
6846 sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar
6847 and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them.
6848 {8:12} And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and
6849 anointed him, to sanctify him. {8:13} And Moses brought Aaron's sons,
6850 and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, and put bonnets
6851 upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses. {8:14} And he brought the
6852 bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands
6853 upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering. {8:15} And he slew
6854 [it;] and Moses took the blood, and put [it] upon the horns of the
6855 altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured
6856 the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make
6857 reconciliation upon it. {8:16} And he took all the fat that [was] upon
6858 the inwards, and caul [above] the liver, and the two kidneys, and their
6859 fat, and Moses burned [it] upon the altar. {8:17} But the bullock, and
6860 his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp;
6861 as the LORD commanded Moses.
6862
6863 {8:18} And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and
6864 his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. {8:19} And he
6865 killed [it;] and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
6866 {8:20} And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and
6867 the pieces, and the fat. {8:21} And he washed the inwards and the legs
6868 in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it [was] a
6869 burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, [and] an offering made by fire unto
6870 the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
6871
6872 {8:22} And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and
6873 Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. {8:23}
6874 And he slew [it;] and Moses took of the blood of it, and put [it] upon
6875 the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and
6876 upon the great toe of his right foot. {8:24} And he brought Aaron's
6877 sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and
6878 upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their
6879 right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
6880 {8:25} And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that [was]
6881 upon the inwards, and the caul [above] the liver, and the two kidneys,
6882 and their fat, and the right shoulder: {8:26} And out of the basket of
6883 unleavened bread, that [was] before the LORD, he took one unleavened
6884 cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put [them] on the
6885 fat, and upon the right shoulder: {8:27} And he put all upon Aaron's
6886 hands, and upon his sons' hands, and waved them [for] a wave offering
6887 before the LORD. {8:28} And Moses took them from off their hands, and
6888 burnt [them] on the altar upon the burnt offering: they [were]
6889 consecrations for a sweet savour: it [is] an offering made by fire unto
6890 the LORD. {8:29} And Moses took the breast, and waved it [for] a wave
6891 offering before the LORD: [for] of the ram of consecration it was
6892 Moses' part; as the LORD commanded Moses. {8:30} And Moses took of the
6893 anointing oil, and of the blood which [was] upon the altar, and
6894 sprinkled [it] upon Aaron, [and] upon his garments, and upon his sons,
6895 and upon his sons' garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, [and] his
6896 garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
6897
6898 {8:31} And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at
6899 the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with
6900 the bread that [is] in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded,
6901 saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it. {8:32} And that which
6902 remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire. {8:33}
6903 And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the
6904 congregation [in] seven days, until the days of your consecration be at
6905 an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you. {8:34} As he hath done
6906 this day, [so] the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for
6907 you. {8:35} Therefore shall ye abide [at] the door of the tabernacle of
6908 the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the
6909 LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded. {8:36} So Aaron and his
6910 sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
6911
6912 {9:1} And it came to pass on the eighth day, [that] Moses called
6913 Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel; {9:2} And he said unto
6914 Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt
6915 offering, without blemish, and offer [them] before the LORD. {9:3} And
6916 unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of
6917 the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, [both] of the
6918 first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering; {9:4} Also a bullock
6919 and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meat
6920 offering mingled with oil: for to day the LORD will appear unto you.
6921
6922 {9:5} And they brought [that] which Moses commanded before the
6923 tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and
6924 stood before the LORD. {9:6} And Moses said, This [is] the thing which
6925 the LORD commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD shall
6926 appear unto you. {9:7} And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar,
6927 and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an
6928 atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of
6929 the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.
6930
6931 {9:8} Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the
6932 sin offering, which [was] for himself. {9:9} And the sons of Aaron
6933 brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and
6934 put [it] upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the
6935 bottom of the altar: {9:10} But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul
6936 above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the
6937 LORD commanded Moses. {9:11} And the flesh and the hide he burnt with
6938 fire without the camp. {9:12} And he slew the burnt offering; and
6939 Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round
6940 about upon the altar. {9:13} And they presented the burnt offering unto
6941 him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt [them] upon
6942 the altar. {9:14} And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt
6943 [them] upon the burnt offering on the altar.
6944
6945 {9:15} And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat,
6946 which [was] the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered
6947 it for sin, as the first. {9:16} And he brought the burnt offering, and
6948 offered it according to the manner. {9:17} And he brought the meat
6949 offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt [it] upon the altar,
6950 beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning. {9:18} He slew also the
6951 bullock and the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace offerings, which [was]
6952 for the people: and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he
6953 sprinkled upon the altar round about, {9:19} And the fat of the bullock
6954 and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth [the inwards,] and
6955 the kidneys, and the caul [above] the liver: {9:20} And they put the
6956 fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar: {9:21} And
6957 the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved [for] a wave offering
6958 before the LORD; as Moses commanded. {9:22} And Aaron lifted up his
6959 hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering
6960 of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
6961 {9:23} And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the
6962 congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of
6963 the LORD appeared unto all the people. {9:24} And there came a fire out
6964 from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering
6965 and the fat: [which] when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on
6966 their faces.
6967
6968 {10:1} And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them
6969 his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered
6970 strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not. {10:2} And
6971 there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died
6972 before the LORD. {10:3} Then Moses said unto Aaron, This [is it] that
6973 the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me,
6974 and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his
6975 peace. {10:4} And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel
6976 the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren
6977 from before the sanctuary out of the camp. {10:5} So they went near,
6978 and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.
6979 {10:6} And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar,
6980 his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye
6981 die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren,
6982 the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath
6983 kindled. {10:7} And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle
6984 of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD
6985 [is] upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
6986
6987 {10:8} And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying, {10:9} Do not drink
6988 wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into
6989 the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: [it shall be] a
6990 statute for ever throughout your generations: {10:10} And that ye may
6991 put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
6992 {10:11} And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes
6993 which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
6994
6995 {10:12} And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto
6996 Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth
6997 of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven
6998 beside the altar: for it [is] most holy: {10:13} And ye shall eat it in
6999 the holy place, because it [is] thy due, and thy sons' due, of the
7000 sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded. {10:14} And
7001 the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou,
7002 and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for [they be] thy due, and
7003 thy sons' due, [which] are given out of the sacrifices of peace
7004 offerings of the children of Israel. {10:15} The heave shoulder and the
7005 wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the
7006 fat, to wave [it for] a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be
7007 thine, and thy sons' with thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath
7008 commanded.
7009
7010 {10:16} And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering,
7011 and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar,
7012 the sons of Aaron [which were] left [alive,] saying, {10:17} Wherefore
7013 have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it [is]
7014 most holy, and [God] hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the
7015 congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD? {10:18}
7016 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy [place:] ye
7017 should indeed have eaten it in the holy [place,] as I commanded.
7018 {10:19} And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered
7019 their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such
7020 things have befallen me: and [if] I had eaten the sin offering to day,
7021 should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD? {10:20} And when
7022 Moses heard [that,] he was content.
7023
7024 {11:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
7025 {11:2} Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These [are] the
7026 beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that [are] on the earth.
7027 {11:3} Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, [and] cheweth
7028 the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. {11:4} Nevertheless these
7029 shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the
7030 hoof: [as] the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the
7031 hoof; he is unclean unto you. {11:5} And the coney, because he cheweth
7032 the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you. {11:6}
7033 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he
7034 [is] unclean unto you. {11:7} And the swine, though he divide the hoof,
7035 and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he [is] unclean to
7036 you. {11:8} Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye
7037 not touch; they [are] unclean to you.
7038
7039 {11:9} These shall ye eat of all that [are] in the waters:
7040 whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the
7041 rivers, them shall ye eat. {11:10} And all that have not fins and
7042 scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters,
7043 and of any living thing which [is] in the waters, they [shall be] an
7044 abomination unto you: {11:11} They shall be even an abomination unto
7045 you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases
7046 in abomination. {11:12} Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the
7047 waters, that [shall be] an abomination unto you.
7048
7049 {11:13} And these [are they which ye] shall have in abomination
7050 among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they [are] an abomination:
7051 the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, {11:14} And the vulture,
7052 and the kite after his kind; {11:15} Every raven after his kind;
7053 {11:16} And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk
7054 after his kind, {11:17} And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the
7055 great owl, {11:18} And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
7056 {11:19} And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and
7057 the bat. {11:20} All fowls that creep, going upon [all] four, [shall
7058 be] an abomination unto you. {11:21} Yet these may ye eat of every
7059 flying creeping thing that goeth upon [all] four, which have legs above
7060 their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; {11:22} [Even] these of them
7061 ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his
7062 kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his
7063 kind. {11:23} But all [other] flying creeping things, which have four
7064 feet, [shall be] an abomination unto you. {11:24} And for these ye
7065 shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be
7066 unclean until the even. {11:25} And whosoever beareth [ought] of the
7067 carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
7068 {11:26} [The carcases] of every beast which divideth the hoof, and [is]
7069 not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, [are] unclean unto you: every
7070 one that toucheth them shall be unclean. {11:27} And whatsoever goeth
7071 upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on [all] four, those
7072 [are] unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean
7073 until the even. {11:28} And he that beareth the carcase of them shall
7074 wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they [are] unclean
7075 unto you.
7076
7077 {11:29} These also [shall be] unclean unto you among the creeping
7078 things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the
7079 tortoise after his kind, {11:30} And the ferret, and the chameleon, and
7080 the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. {11:31} These [are] unclean to
7081 you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead,
7082 shall be unclean until the even. {11:32} And upon whatsoever [any] of
7083 them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether [it
7084 be] any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel
7085 [it be,] wherein [any] work is done, it must be put into water, and it
7086 shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed. {11:33} And
7087 every earthen vessel, whereinto [any] of them falleth, whatsoever is in
7088 it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. {11:34} Of all meat which
7089 may be eaten, [that] on which [such] water cometh shall be unclean: and
7090 all drink that may be drunk in every [such] vessel shall be unclean.
7091 {11:35} And every [thing] whereupon [any part] of their carcase falleth
7092 shall be unclean; [whether it be] oven, or ranges for pots, they shall
7093 be broken down: [for] they [are] unclean, and shall be unclean unto
7094 you. {11:36} Nevertheless a fountain or pit, [wherein there is] plenty
7095 of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall
7096 be unclean. {11:37} And if [any part] of their carcase fall upon any
7097 sowing seed which is to be sown, it [shall be] clean. {11:38} But if
7098 [any] water be put upon the seed, and [any part] of their carcase fall
7099 thereon, it [shall be] unclean unto you. {11:39} And if any beast, of
7100 which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be
7101 unclean until the even. {11:40} And he that eateth of the carcase of it
7102 shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that
7103 beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until
7104 the even. {11:41} And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth
7105 [shall be] an abomination; it shall not be eaten. {11:42} Whatsoever
7106 goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon [all] four, or
7107 whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the
7108 earth, them ye shall not eat; for they [are] an abomination. {11:43} Ye
7109 shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that
7110 creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye
7111 should be defiled thereby. {11:44} For I [am] the LORD your God: ye
7112 shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I [am]
7113 holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping
7114 thing that creepeth upon the earth. {11:45} For I [am] the LORD that
7115 bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall
7116 therefore be holy, for I [am] holy. {11:46} This [is] the law of the
7117 beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in
7118 the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth: {11:47}
7119 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the
7120 beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
7121
7122 {12:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {12:2} Speak unto the
7123 children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a
7124 man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days
7125 of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. {12:3} And in
7126 the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. {12:4}
7127 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and
7128 thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the
7129 sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled. {12:5} But if
7130 she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her
7131 separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying
7132 threescore and six days. {12:6} And when the days of her purifying are
7133 fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the
7134 first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove,
7135 for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the
7136 congregation, unto the priest: {12:7} Who shall offer it before the
7137 LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the
7138 issue of her blood. This [is] the law for her that hath born a male or
7139 a female. {12:8} And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall
7140 bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt
7141 offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make
7142 an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
7143
7144 {13:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, {13:2} When
7145 a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or a bright
7146 spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh [like] the plague of leprosy;
7147 then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons
7148 the priests: {13:3} And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin
7149 of the flesh: and [when] the hair in the plague is turned white, and
7150 the plague in sight [be] deeper than the skin of his flesh, it [is] a
7151 plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him
7152 unclean. {13:4} If the bright spot [be] white in the skin of his flesh,
7153 and in sight [be] not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not
7154 turned white; then the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the plague
7155 seven days: {13:5} And the priest shall look on him the seventh day:
7156 and, behold, [if] the plague in his sight be at a stay, [and] the
7157 plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven
7158 days more: {13:6} And the priest shall look on him again the seventh
7159 day: and, behold, [if] the plague [be] somewhat dark, [and] the plague
7160 spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it [is
7161 but] a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. {13:7} But if
7162 the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen
7163 of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again:
7164 {13:8} And [if] the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the
7165 skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a leprosy.
7166
7167 {13:9} When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be
7168 brought unto the priest; {13:10} And the priest shall see [him:] and,
7169 behold, [if] the rising [be] white in the skin, and it have turned the
7170 hair white, and [there be] quick raw flesh in the rising; {13:11} It
7171 [is] an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall
7172 pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he [is] unclean.
7173 {13:12} And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy
7174 cover all the skin of [him that hath] the plague from his head even to
7175 his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh; {13:13} Then the priest shall
7176 consider: and, behold, [if] the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he
7177 shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the plague: it is all turned
7178 white: he [is] clean. {13:14} But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he
7179 shall be unclean. {13:15} And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and
7180 pronounce him to be unclean: [for] the raw flesh [is] unclean: it [is]
7181 a leprosy. {13:16} Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto
7182 white, he shall come unto the priest; {13:17} And the priest shall see
7183 him: and, behold, [if] the plague be turned into white; then the priest
7184 shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the plague: he [is] clean.
7185
7186 {13:18} The flesh also, in which, [even] in the skin thereof, was a
7187 boil, and is healed, {13:19} And in the place of the boil there be a
7188 white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be
7189 shewed to the priest; {13:20} And if, when the priest seeth it, behold,
7190 it [be] in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned
7191 white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a plague of
7192 leprosy broken out of the boil. {13:21} But if the priest look on it,
7193 and, behold, [there be] no white hairs therein, and [if] it [be] not
7194 lower than the skin, but [be] somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut
7195 him up seven days: {13:22} And if it spread much abroad in the skin,
7196 then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a plague. {13:23}
7197 But if the bright spot stay in his place, [and] spread not, it [is] a
7198 burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
7199
7200 {13:24} Or if there be [any] flesh, in the skin whereof [there is] a
7201 hot burning, and the quick [flesh] that burneth have a white bright
7202 spot, somewhat reddish, or white; {13:25} Then the priest shall look
7203 upon it: and, behold, [if] the hair in the bright spot be turned white,
7204 and it [be in] sight deeper than the skin; it [is] a leprosy broken out
7205 of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it
7206 [is] the plague of leprosy. {13:26} But if the priest look on it, and,
7207 behold, [there be] no white hair in the bright spot, and it [be] no
7208 lower than the [other] skin, but [be] somewhat dark; then the priest
7209 shall shut him up seven days: {13:27} And the priest shall look upon
7210 him the seventh day: [and] if it be spread much abroad in the skin,
7211 then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] the plague of
7212 leprosy. {13:28} And if the bright spot stay in his place, [and] spread
7213 not in the skin, but it [be] somewhat dark; it [is] a rising of the
7214 burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it [is] an
7215 inflammation of the burning.
7216
7217 {13:29} If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;
7218 {13:30} Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it [be]
7219 in sight deeper than the skin; [and there be] in it a yellow thin hair;
7220 then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a dry scall,
7221 [even] a leprosy upon the head or beard. {13:31} And if the priest look
7222 on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it [be] not in sight deeper
7223 than the skin, and [that there is] no black hair in it; then the priest
7224 shall shut up [him that hath] the plague of the scall seven days:
7225 {13:32} And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague:
7226 and, behold, [if] the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow
7227 hair, and the scall [be] not in sight deeper than the skin; {13:33} He
7228 shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall
7229 shut up [him that hath] the scall seven days more: {13:34} And in the
7230 seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, [if] the
7231 scall be not spread in the skin, nor [be] in sight deeper than the
7232 skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his
7233 clothes, and be clean. {13:35} But if the scall spread much in the skin
7234 after his cleansing; {13:36} Then the priest shall look on him: and,
7235 behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek
7236 for yellow hair; he [is] unclean. {13:37} But if the scall be in his
7237 sight at a stay, and [that] there is black hair grown up therein; the
7238 scall is healed, he [is] clean: and the priest shall pronounce him
7239 clean.
7240
7241 {13:38} If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh
7242 bright spots, [even] white bright spots; {13:39} Then the priest shall
7243 look: and, behold, [if] the bright spots in the skin of their flesh
7244 [be] darkish white; it [is] a freckled spot [that] groweth in the skin;
7245 he [is] clean. {13:40} And the man whose hair is fallen off his head,
7246 he [is] bald; [yet is] he clean. {13:41} And he that hath his hair
7247 fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he [is] forehead
7248 bald: [yet is] he clean. {13:42} And if there be in the bald head, or
7249 bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it [is] a leprosy sprung up in his
7250 bald head, or his bald forehead. {13:43} Then the priest shall look
7251 upon it: and, behold, [if] the rising of the sore [be] white reddish in
7252 his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the
7253 skin of the flesh; {13:44} He is a leprous man, he [is] unclean: the
7254 priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague [is] in his
7255 head. {13:45} And the leper in whom the plague [is,] his clothes shall
7256 be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper
7257 lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean. {13:46} All the days wherein the
7258 plague [shall be] in him he shall be defiled; he [is] unclean: he shall
7259 dwell alone; without the camp [shall] his habitation [be.]
7260
7261 {13:47} The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, [whether
7262 it be] a woollen garment, or a linen garment; {13:48} Whether [it be]
7263 in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in
7264 any thing made of skin; {13:49} And if the plague be greenish or
7265 reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the
7266 woof, or in any thing of skin; it [is] a plague of leprosy, and shall
7267 be shewed unto the priest: {13:50} And the priest shall look upon the
7268 plague, and shut up [it that hath] the plague seven days: {13:51} And
7269 he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread
7270 in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, [or]
7271 in any work that is made of skin; the plague [is] a fretting leprosy;
7272 it [is] unclean. {13:52} He shall therefore burn that garment, whether
7273 warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the
7274 plague is: for it [is] a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the
7275 fire. {13:53} And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be
7276 not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in
7277 any thing of skin; {13:54} Then the priest shall command that they wash
7278 [the thing] wherein the plague [is,] and he shall shut it up seven days
7279 more: {13:55} And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is
7280 washed: and, behold, [if] the plague have not changed his colour, and
7281 the plague be not spread; it [is] unclean; thou shalt burn it in the
7282 fire; it [is] fret inward, [whether] it [be] bare within or without.
7283 {13:56} And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague [be] somewhat
7284 dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment,
7285 or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof: {13:57} And
7286 if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof,
7287 or in any thing of skin; it [is] a spreading [plague:] thou shalt burn
7288 that wherein the plague [is] with fire. {13:58} And the garment, either
7289 warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin [it be,] which thou shalt
7290 wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the
7291 second time, and shall be clean. {13:59} This [is] the law of the
7292 plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp,
7293 or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce
7294 it unclean.
7295
7296 {14:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {14:2} This shall be
7297 the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought
7298 unto the priest: {14:3} And the priest shall go forth out of the camp;
7299 and the priest shall look, and, behold, [if] the plague of leprosy be
7300 healed in the leper; {14:4} Then shall the priest command to take for
7301 him that is to be cleansed two birds alive [and] clean, and cedar wood,
7302 and scarlet, and hyssop: {14:5} And the priest shall command that one
7303 of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water: {14:6}
7304 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the
7305 scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the
7306 blood of the bird [that was] killed over the running water: {14:7} And
7307 he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy
7308 seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living
7309 bird loose into the open field. {14:8} And he that is to be cleansed
7310 shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in
7311 water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the
7312 camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days. {14:9} But it
7313 shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his
7314 head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave
7315 off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in
7316 water, and he shall be clean. {14:10} And on the eighth day he shall
7317 take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year
7318 without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour [for] a meat
7319 offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil. {14:11} And the priest
7320 that maketh [him] clean shall present the man that is to be made clean,
7321 and those things, before the LORD, [at] the door of the tabernacle of
7322 the congregation: {14:12} And the priest shall take one he lamb, and
7323 offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them
7324 [for] a wave offering before the LORD: {14:13} And he shall slay the
7325 lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt
7326 offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering [is] the priest's,
7327 [so is] the trespass offering: it [is] most holy: {14:14} And the
7328 priest shall take [some] of the blood of the trespass offering, and the
7329 priest shall put [it] upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to
7330 be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great
7331 toe of his right foot: {14:15} And the priest shall take [some] of the
7332 log of oil, and pour [it] into the palm of his own left hand: {14:16}
7333 And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that [is] in his
7334 left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times
7335 before the LORD: {14:17} And of the rest of the oil that [is] in his
7336 hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is
7337 to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the
7338 great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering:
7339 {14:18} And the remnant of the oil that [is] in the priest's hand he
7340 shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest
7341 shall make an atonement for him before the LORD. {14:19} And the priest
7342 shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to
7343 be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt
7344 offering: {14:20} And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the
7345 meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement
7346 for him, and he shall be clean. {14:21} And if he [be] poor, and cannot
7347 get so much; then he shall take one lamb [for] a trespass offering to
7348 be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine
7349 flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil; {14:22}
7350 And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get;
7351 and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
7352 {14:23} And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing
7353 unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
7354 before the LORD. {14:24} And the priest shall take the lamb of the
7355 trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them
7356 [for] a wave offering before the LORD: {14:25} And he shall kill the
7357 lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take [some] of the
7358 blood of the trespass offering, and put [it] upon the tip of the right
7359 ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right
7360 hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot: {14:26} And the priest
7361 shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand: {14:27} And
7362 the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger [some] of the oil that
7363 [is] in his left hand seven times before the LORD: {14:28} And the
7364 priest shall put of the oil that [is] in his hand upon the tip of the
7365 right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his
7366 right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of
7367 the blood of the trespass offering: {14:29} And the rest of the oil
7368 that [is] in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that
7369 is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD.
7370 {14:30} And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young
7371 pigeons, such as he can get; {14:31} [Even] such as he is able to get,
7372 the one [for] a sin offering, and the other [for] a burnt offering,
7373 with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him
7374 that is to be cleansed before the LORD. {14:32} This [is] the law [of
7375 him] in whom [is] the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get
7376 [that which pertaineth] to his cleansing.
7377
7378 {14:33} And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
7379 {14:34} When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you
7380 for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the
7381 land of your possession; {14:35} And he that owneth the house shall
7382 come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me [there is] as it
7383 were a plague in the house: {14:36} Then the priest shall command that
7384 they empty the house, before the priest go [into it] to see the plague,
7385 that all that [is] in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the
7386 priest shall go in to see the house: {14:37} And he shall look on the
7387 plague, and, behold, [if] the plague [be] in the walls of the house
7388 with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight [are] lower
7389 than the wall; {14:38} Then the priest shall go out of the house to the
7390 door of the house, and shut up the house seven days: {14:39} And the
7391 priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold,
7392 [if] the plague be spread in the walls of the house; {14:40} Then the
7393 priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague
7394 [is,] and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:
7395 {14:41} And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about,
7396 and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city
7397 into an unclean place: {14:42} And they shall take other stones, and
7398 put [them] in the place of those stones; and he shall take other
7399 morter, and shall plaister the house. {14:43} And if the plague come
7400 again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the
7401 stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is
7402 plaistered; {14:44} Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold,
7403 [if] the plague be spread in the house, it [is] a fretting leprosy in
7404 the house: it is unclean. {14:45} And he shall break down the house,
7405 the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the
7406 house; and he shall carry [them] forth out of the city into an unclean
7407 place. {14:46} Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that
7408 it is shut up shall be unclean until the even. {14:47} And he that
7409 lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the
7410 house shall wash his clothes. {14:48} And if the priest shall come in,
7411 and look [upon it,] and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the
7412 house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce
7413 the house clean, because the plague is healed. {14:49} And he shall
7414 take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and
7415 hyssop: {14:50} And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen
7416 vessel over running water: {14:51} And he shall take the cedar wood,
7417 and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in
7418 the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the
7419 house seven times: {14:52} And he shall cleanse the house with the
7420 blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living
7421 bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the
7422 scarlet: {14:53} But he shall let go the living bird out of the city
7423 into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall
7424 be clean. {14:54} This [is] the law for all manner of plague of
7425 leprosy, and scall, {14:55} And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a
7426 house, {14:56} And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
7427 {14:57} To teach when [it is] unclean, and when [it is] clean: this
7428 [is] the law of leprosy.
7429
7430 {15:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying, {15:2}
7431 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath
7432 a running issue out of his flesh, [because of] his issue he [is]
7433 unclean. {15:3} And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether
7434 his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue,
7435 it [is] his uncleanness. {15:4} Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath
7436 the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be
7437 unclean. {15:5} And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes,
7438 and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even. {15:6} And
7439 he that sitteth on [any] thing whereon he sat that hath the issue shall
7440 wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until
7441 the even. {15:7} And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the
7442 issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be
7443 unclean until the even. {15:8} And if he that hath the issue spit upon
7444 him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself]
7445 in water, and be unclean until the even. {15:9} And what saddle soever
7446 he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean. {15:10} And
7447 whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until
7448 the even: and he that beareth [any of] those things shall wash his
7449 clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even.
7450 {15:11} And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not
7451 rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe
7452 [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even. {15:12} And the
7453 vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue, shall be
7454 broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. {15:13} And
7455 when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall
7456 number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes,
7457 and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean. {15:14} And
7458 on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young
7459 pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of
7460 the congregation, and give them unto the priest: {15:15} And the priest
7461 shall offer them, the one [for] a sin offering, and the other [for] a
7462 burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before
7463 the LORD for his issue. {15:16} And if any man's seed of copulation go
7464 out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean
7465 until the even. {15:17} And every garment, and every skin, whereon is
7466 the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean
7467 until the even. {15:18} The woman also with whom man shall lie [with]
7468 seed of copulation, they shall [both] bathe [themselves] in water, and
7469 be unclean until the even.
7470
7471 {15:19} And if a woman have an issue, [and] her issue in her flesh
7472 be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her
7473 shall be unclean until the even. {15:20} And every thing that she lieth
7474 upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she
7475 sitteth upon shall be unclean. {15:21} And whosoever toucheth her bed
7476 shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean
7477 until the even. {15:22} And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat
7478 upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be
7479 unclean until the even. {15:23} And if it [be] on [her] bed, or on any
7480 thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean
7481 until the even. {15:24} And if any man lie with her at all, and her
7482 flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed
7483 whereon he lieth [shall be] unclean. {15:25} And if a woman have an
7484 issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if
7485 it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of
7486 her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be
7487 unclean. {15:26} Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue
7488 shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she
7489 sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.
7490 {15:27} And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall
7491 wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until
7492 the even. {15:28} But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall
7493 number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
7494 {15:29} And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or
7495 two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the
7496 tabernacle of the congregation. {15:30} And the priest shall offer the
7497 one [for] a sin offering, and the other [for] a burnt offering; and the
7498 priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of
7499 her uncleanness. {15:31} Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel
7500 from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when
7501 they defile my tabernacle that [is] among them. {15:32} This [is] the
7502 law of him that hath an issue, and [of him] whose seed goeth from him,
7503 and is defiled therewith; {15:33} And of her that is sick of her
7504 flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman,
7505 and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.
7506
7507 {16:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons
7508 of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died; {16:2} And the
7509 LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at
7510 all times into the holy [place] within the vail before the mercy seat,
7511 which [is] upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the
7512 cloud upon the mercy seat. {16:3} Thus shall Aaron come into the holy
7513 [place:] with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt
7514 offering. {16:4} He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have
7515 the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen
7516 girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these [are] holy
7517 garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and [so] put them
7518 on. {16:5} And he shall take of the congregation of the children of
7519 Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a
7520 burnt offering. {16:6} And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin
7521 offering, which [is] for himself, and make an atonement for himself,
7522 and for his house. {16:7} And he shall take the two goats, and present
7523 them before the LORD [at] the door of the tabernacle of the
7524 congregation. {16:8} And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one
7525 lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. {16:9} And Aaron
7526 shall bring the goat upon which the LORD'S lot fell, and offer him
7527 [for] a sin offering. {16:10} But the goat, on which the lot fell to be
7528 the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an
7529 atonement with him, [and] to let him go for a scapegoat into the
7530 wilderness. {16:11} And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin
7531 offering, which [is] for himself, and shall make an atonement for
7532 himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin
7533 offering which [is] for himself: {16:12} And he shall take a censer
7534 full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and
7535 his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring [it] within the
7536 vail: {16:13} And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the
7537 LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that [is]
7538 upon the testimony, that he die not: {16:14} And he shall take of the
7539 blood of the bullock, and sprinkle [it] with his finger upon the mercy
7540 seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood
7541 with his finger seven times.
7542
7543 {16:15} Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that [is]
7544 for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that
7545 blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the
7546 mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: {16:16} And he shall make an
7547 atonement for the holy [place,] because of the uncleanness of the
7548 children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their
7549 sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that
7550 remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness. {16:17} And
7551 there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he
7552 goeth in to make an atonement in the holy [place,] until he come out,
7553 and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for
7554 all the congregation of Israel. {16:18} And he shall go out unto the
7555 altar that [is] before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and
7556 shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat,
7557 and put [it] upon the horns of the altar round about. {16:19} And he
7558 shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and
7559 cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of
7560 Israel.
7561
7562 {16:20} And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy
7563 [place,] and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he
7564 shall bring the live goat: {16:21} And Aaron shall lay both his hands
7565 upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities
7566 of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their
7567 sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send [him] away
7568 by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: {16:22} And the goat
7569 shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and
7570 he shall let go the goat in the wilderness. {16:23} And Aaron shall
7571 come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the
7572 linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy [place,] and
7573 shall leave them there: {16:24} And he shall wash his flesh with water
7574 in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer
7575 his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an
7576 atonement for himself, and for the people. {16:25} And the fat of the
7577 sin offering shall he burn upon the altar. {16:26} And he that let go
7578 the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh
7579 in water, and afterward come into the camp. {16:27} And the bullock
7580 [for] the sin offering, and the goat [for] the sin offering, whose
7581 blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy [place,] shall [one]
7582 carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their
7583 skins, and their flesh, and their dung. {16:28} And he that burneth
7584 them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and
7585 afterward he shall come into the camp.
7586
7587 {16:29} And [this] shall be a statute for ever unto you: [that] in
7588 the seventh month, on the tenth [day] of the month, ye shall afflict
7589 your souls, and do no work at all, [whether it be] one of your own
7590 country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you: {16:30} For on that
7591 day shall [the priest] make an atonement for you, to cleanse you,
7592 [that] ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. {16:31} It
7593 [shall be] a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls,
7594 by a statute for ever. {16:32} And the priest, whom he shall anoint,
7595 and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his
7596 father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen
7597 clothes, [even] the holy garments: {16:33} And he shall make an
7598 atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for
7599 the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall
7600 make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the
7601 congregation. {16:34} And this shall be an everlasting statute unto
7602 you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins
7603 once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.
7604
7605 {17:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {17:2} Speak unto
7606 Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say
7607 unto them; This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,
7608 {17:3} What man soever [there be] of the house of Israel, that killeth
7609 an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth [it] out of the
7610 camp, {17:4} And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the
7611 congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle
7612 of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood;
7613 and that man shall be cut off from among his people: {17:5} To the end
7614 that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they
7615 offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD,
7616 unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest,
7617 and offer them [for] peace offerings unto the LORD. {17:6} And the
7618 priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD [at] the
7619 door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a
7620 sweet savour unto the LORD. {17:7} And they shall no more offer their
7621 sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall
7622 be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.
7623
7624 {17:8} And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man [there be] of
7625 the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that
7626 offereth a burnt offering of sacrifice, {17:9} And bringeth it not unto
7627 the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the
7628 LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.
7629
7630 {17:10} And whatsoever man [there be] of the house of Israel, or of
7631 the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood;
7632 I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will
7633 cut him off from among his people. {17:11} For the life of the flesh
7634 [is] in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an
7635 atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an
7636 atonement for the soul. {17:12} Therefore I said unto the children of
7637 Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that
7638 sojourneth among you eat blood. {17:13} And whatsoever man [there be]
7639 of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you,
7640 which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he
7641 shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. {17:14}
7642 For [it is] the life of all flesh; the blood of it [is] for the life
7643 thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the
7644 blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh [is] the blood
7645 thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. {17:15} And every soul
7646 that eateth that which died [of itself,] or that which was torn [with
7647 beasts, whether it be] one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall
7648 both wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean
7649 until the even: then shall he be clean. {17:16} But if he wash [them]
7650 not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
7651
7652 {18:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {18:2} Speak unto the
7653 children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God. {18:3}
7654 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not
7655 do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you,
7656 shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances. {18:4} Ye
7657 shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I
7658 [am] the LORD your God. {18:5} Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and
7659 my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I [am] the LORD.
7660
7661 {18:6} None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him,
7662 to uncover [their] nakedness: I [am] the LORD. {18:7} The nakedness of
7663 thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she
7664 is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. {18:8} The
7665 nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy
7666 father's nakedness. {18:9} The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of
7667 thy father, or daughter of thy mother, [whether she be] born at home,
7668 or born abroad, [even] their nakedness thou shalt not uncover. {18:10}
7669 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter,
7670 [even] their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs [is] thine
7671 own nakedness. {18:11} The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter,
7672 begotten of thy father, she [is] thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her
7673 nakedness. {18:12} Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's
7674 sister: she [is] thy father's near kinswoman. {18:13} Thou shalt not
7675 uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she [is] thy mother's
7676 near kinswoman. {18:14} Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy
7677 father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she [is] thine
7678 aunt. {18:15} Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in
7679 law: she [is] thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
7680 {18:16} Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it
7681 [is] thy brother's nakedness. {18:17} Thou shalt not uncover the
7682 nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her
7683 son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness;
7684 [for] they [are] her near kinswomen: it [is] wickedness. {18:18}
7685 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex [her,] to uncover
7686 her nakedness, beside the other in her life [time. ]{18:19} Also thou
7687 shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as
7688 she is put apart for her uncleanness. {18:20} Moreover thou shalt not
7689 lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
7690 {18:21} And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through [the fire]
7691 to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the
7692 LORD. {18:22} Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it
7693 [is] abomination. {18:23} Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to
7694 defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast
7695 to lie down thereto: it [is] confusion. {18:24} Defile not ye
7696 yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are
7697 defiled which I cast out before you: {18:25} And the land is defiled:
7698 therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself
7699 vomiteth out her inhabitants. {18:26} Ye shall therefore keep my
7700 statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit [any] of these
7701 abominations; [neither] any of your own nation, nor any stranger that
7702 sojourneth among you: {18:27} (For all these abominations have the men
7703 of the land done, which [were] before you, and the land is defiled;)
7704 {18:28} That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it
7705 spued out the nations that [were] before you. {18:29} For whosoever
7706 shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit
7707 [them] shall be cut off from among their people. {18:30} Therefore
7708 shall ye keep mine ordinance, that [ye] commit not [any one] of these
7709 abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile
7710 not yourselves therein: I [am] the LORD your God.
7711
7712 {19:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {19:2} Speak unto all
7713 the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall
7714 be holy: for I the LORD your God [am] holy.
7715
7716 {19:3} Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep
7717 my sabbaths: I [am] the LORD your God.
7718
7719 {19:4} Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I
7720 [am] the LORD your God.
7721
7722 {19:5} And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD,
7723 ye shall offer it at your own will. {19:6} It shall be eaten the same
7724 day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third
7725 day, it shall be burnt in the fire. {19:7} And if it be eaten at all on
7726 the third day, it [is] abominable; it shall not be accepted. {19:8}
7727 Therefore [every one] that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because
7728 he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be
7729 cut off from among his people.
7730
7731 {19:9} And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not
7732 wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the
7733 gleanings of thy harvest. {19:10} And thou shalt not glean thy
7734 vineyard, neither shalt thou gather [every] grape of thy vineyard; thou
7735 shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I [am] the LORD your God.
7736
7737 {19:11} Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to
7738 another.
7739
7740 {19:12} And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt
7741 thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD.
7742
7743 {19:13} Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob [him:] the
7744 wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until
7745 the morning.
7746
7747 {19:14} Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock
7748 before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I [am] the LORD.
7749
7750 {19:15} Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not
7751 respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty:
7752 [but] in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
7753
7754 {19:16} Thou shalt not go up and down [as] a talebearer among thy
7755 people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I
7756 [am] the LORD.
7757
7758 {19:17} Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt
7759 in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
7760
7761 {19:18} Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the
7762 children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I
7763 [am] the LORD.
7764
7765 {19:19} Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle
7766 gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled
7767 seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon
7768 thee.
7769
7770 {19:20} And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that [is] a
7771 bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom
7772 given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death,
7773 because she was not free. {19:21} And he shall bring his trespass
7774 offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the
7775 congregation, [even] a ram for a trespass offering. {19:22} And the
7776 priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass
7777 offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin
7778 which he hath done shall be forgiven him.
7779
7780 {19:23} And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted
7781 all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as
7782 uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it
7783 shall not be eaten of. {19:24} But in the fourth year all the fruit
7784 thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD [withal. ]{19:25} And in the
7785 fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto
7786 you the increase thereof: I [am] the LORD your God.
7787
7788 {19:26} Ye shall not eat [any thing] with the blood: neither shall
7789 ye use enchantment, nor observe times. {19:27} Ye shall not round the
7790 corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
7791 {19:28} Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor
7792 print any marks upon you: I [am] the LORD.
7793
7794 {19:29} Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore;
7795 lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
7796
7797 {19:30} Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I
7798 [am] the LORD.
7799
7800 {19:31} Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek
7801 after wizards, to be defiled by them: I [am] the LORD your God.
7802
7803 {19:32} Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the
7804 face of the old man, and fear thy God: I [am] the LORD.
7805
7806 {19:33} And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall
7807 not vex him. {19:34} [But] the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be
7808 unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for
7809 ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.
7810
7811 {19:35} Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in
7812 weight, or in measure. {19:36} Just balances, just weights, a just
7813 ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I [am] the LORD your God, which
7814 brought you out of the land of Egypt. {19:37} Therefore shall ye
7815 observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I [am] the
7816 LORD.
7817
7818 {20:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {20:2} Again, thou
7819 shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever [he be] of the children
7820 of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth
7821 [any] of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the
7822 people of the land shall stone him with stones. {20:3} And I will set
7823 my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people;
7824 because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary,
7825 and to profane my holy name. {20:4} And if the people of the land do
7826 any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto
7827 Molech, and kill him not: {20:5} Then I will set my face against that
7828 man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a
7829 whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their
7830 people.
7831
7832 {20:6} And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar
7833 spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set
7834 my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
7835
7836 {20:7} Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I [am] the
7837 LORD your God. {20:8} And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I
7838 [am] the LORD which sanctify you.
7839
7840 {20:9} For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be
7841 surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood
7842 [shall be] upon him.
7843
7844 {20:10} And the man that committeth adultery with [another] man's
7845 wife, [even he] that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the
7846 adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. {20:11} And
7847 the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's
7848 nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood
7849 [shall be] upon them. {20:12} And if a man lie with his daughter in
7850 law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought
7851 confusion; their blood [shall be] upon them. {20:13} If a man also lie
7852 with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an
7853 abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be]
7854 upon them. {20:14} And if a man take a wife and her mother, it [is]
7855 wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there
7856 be no wickedness among you. {20:15} And if a man lie with a beast, he
7857 shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast. {20:16} And
7858 if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt
7859 kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their
7860 blood [shall be] upon them. {20:17} And if a man shall take his sister,
7861 his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness,
7862 and she see his nakedness; it [is] a wicked thing; and they shall be
7863 cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's
7864 nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity. {20:18} And if a man shall lie
7865 with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he
7866 hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of
7867 her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
7868 {20:19} And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's
7869 sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin:
7870 they shall bear their iniquity. {20:20} And if a man shall lie with his
7871 uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear
7872 their sin; they shall die childless. {20:21} And if a man shall take
7873 his brother's wife, it [is] an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his
7874 brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
7875
7876 {20:22} Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my
7877 judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell
7878 therein, spue you not out. {20:23} And ye shall not walk in the manners
7879 of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all
7880 these things, and therefore I abhorred them. {20:24} But I have said
7881 unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to
7882 possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I [am] the LORD
7883 your God, which have separated you from [other] people. {20:25} Ye
7884 shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and
7885 between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls
7886 abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that
7887 creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
7888 {20:26} And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD [am] holy, and
7889 have severed you from [other] people, that ye should be mine.
7890
7891 {20:27} A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is
7892 a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with
7893 stones: their blood [shall be] upon them.
7894
7895 {21:1} And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons
7896 of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead
7897 among his people: {21:2} But for his kin, that is near unto him, [that
7898 is,] for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his
7899 daughter, and for his brother, {21:3} And for his sister a virgin, that
7900 is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
7901 {21:4} [But] he shall not defile himself, [being] a chief man among his
7902 people, to profane himself. {21:5} They shall not make baldness upon
7903 their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor
7904 make any cuttings in their flesh. {21:6} They shall be holy unto their
7905 God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the
7906 LORD made by fire, [and] the bread of their God, they do offer:
7907 therefore they shall be holy. {21:7} They shall not take a wife [that
7908 is] a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from
7909 her husband: for he [is] holy unto his God. {21:8} Thou shalt sanctify
7910 him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy
7911 unto thee: for I the LORD, which sanctify you, [am] holy.
7912
7913 {21:9} And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by
7914 playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with
7915 fire. {21:10} And [he that is] the high priest among his brethren, upon
7916 whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put
7917 on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;
7918 {21:11} Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for
7919 his father, or for his mother; {21:12} Neither shall he go out of the
7920 sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the
7921 anointing oil of his God [is] upon him: I [am] the LORD. {21:13} And he
7922 shall take a wife in her virginity. {21:14} A widow, or a divorced
7923 woman, or profane, [or] an harlot, these shall he not take: but he
7924 shall take a virgin of his own people to wife. {21:15} Neither shall he
7925 profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.
7926
7927 {21:16} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {21:17} Speak unto
7928 Aaron, saying, Whosoever [he be] of thy seed in their generations that
7929 hath [any] blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
7930 {21:18} For whatsoever man [he be] that hath a blemish, he shall not
7931 approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any
7932 thing superfluous, {21:19} Or a man that is brokenfooted, or
7933 brokenhanded, {21:20} Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish
7934 in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
7935 {21:21} No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest
7936 shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he
7937 hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
7938 {21:22} He shall eat the bread of his God, [both] of the most holy, and
7939 of the holy. {21:23} Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come
7940 nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my
7941 sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them. {21:24} And Moses told
7942 [it] unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
7943
7944 {22:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {22:2} Speak unto
7945 Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy
7946 things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy
7947 name [in those things] which they hallow unto me: I [am] the LORD.
7948 {22:3} Say unto them, Whosoever [he be] of all your seed among your
7949 generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of
7950 Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul
7951 shall be cut off from my presence: I [am] the LORD. {22:4} What man
7952 soever of the seed of Aaron [is] a leper, or hath a running issue; he
7953 shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth
7954 any thing [that is] unclean [by] the dead, or a man whose seed goeth
7955 from him; {22:5} Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he
7956 may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness,
7957 whatsoever uncleanness he hath; {22:6} The soul which hath touched any
7958 such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things,
7959 unless he wash his flesh with water. {22:7} And when the sun is down,
7960 he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because
7961 it [is] his food. {22:8} That which dieth of itself, or is torn [with
7962 beasts,] he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I [am] the LORD.
7963 {22:9} They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for
7964 it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
7965 {22:10} There shall no stranger eat [of] the holy thing: a sojourner of
7966 the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat [of] the holy thing.
7967 {22:11} But if the priest buy [any] soul with his money, he shall eat
7968 of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.
7969 {22:12} If the priest's daughter also be [married] unto a stranger, she
7970 may not eat of an offering of the holy things. {22:13} But if the
7971 priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is
7972 returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her
7973 father's meat: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.
7974
7975 {22:14} And if a man eat [of] the holy thing unwittingly, then he
7976 shall put the fifth [part] thereof unto it, and shall give [it] unto
7977 the priest with the holy thing. {22:15} And they shall not profane the
7978 holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;
7979 {22:16} Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat
7980 their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
7981
7982 {22:17} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {22:18} Speak unto
7983 Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say
7984 unto them, Whatsoever [he be] of the house of Israel, or of the
7985 strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and
7986 for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for
7987 a burnt offering; {22:19} [Ye shall offer] at your own will a male
7988 without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats. {22:20}
7989 [But] whatsoever hath a blemish, [that] shall ye not offer: for it
7990 shall not be acceptable for you. {22:21} And whosoever offereth a
7991 sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish [his] vow, or
7992 a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be
7993 accepted; there shall be no blemish therein. {22:22} Blind, or broken,
7994 or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer
7995 these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the
7996 altar unto the LORD. {22:23} Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any
7997 thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer [for]
7998 a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted. {22:24} Ye
7999 shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or
8000 broken, or cut; neither shall ye make [any offering thereof] in your
8001 land. {22:25} Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread
8002 of your God of any of these; because their corruption [is] in them,
8003 [and] blemishes [be] in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
8004
8005 {22:26} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {22:27} When a
8006 bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be
8007 seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it
8008 shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD. {22:28}
8009 And [whether it be] cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both
8010 in one day. {22:29} And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving
8011 unto the LORD, offer [it] at your own will. {22:30} On the same day it
8012 shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I [am]
8013 the LORD. {22:31} Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them:
8014 I [am] the LORD. {22:32} Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I
8015 will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I [am] the LORD which
8016 hallow you, {22:33} That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be
8017 your God: I [am] the LORD.
8018
8019 {23:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {23:2} Speak unto the
8020 children of Israel, and say unto them, [Concerning] the feasts of the
8021 LORD, which ye shall proclaim [to be] holy convocations, [even] these
8022 [are] my feasts. {23:3} Six days shall work be done: but the seventh
8023 day [is] the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work
8024 [therein:] it [is] the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
8025
8026 {23:4} These [are] the feasts of the LORD, [even] holy convocations,
8027 which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. {23:5} In the fourteenth
8028 [day] of the first month at even [is] the LORD'S passover. {23:6} And
8029 on the fifteenth day of the same month [is] the feast of unleavened
8030 bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. {23:7} In
8031 the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile
8032 work therein. {23:8} But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto
8033 the LORD seven days: in the seventh day [is] an holy convocation: ye
8034 shall do no servile work [therein.]
8035
8036 {23:9} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {23:10} Speak unto the
8037 children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land
8038 which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye
8039 shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
8040 {23:11} And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for
8041 you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. {23:12}
8042 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without
8043 blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD. {23:13}
8044 And the meat offering thereof [shall be] two tenth deals of fine flour
8045 mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD [for] a sweet
8046 savour: and the drink offering thereof [shall be] of wine, the fourth
8047 [part] of an hin. {23:14} And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched
8048 corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an
8049 offering unto your God: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout
8050 your generations in all your dwellings.
8051
8052 {23:15} And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the
8053 sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering;
8054 seven sabbaths shall be complete: {23:16} Even unto the morrow after
8055 the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a
8056 new meat offering unto the LORD. {23:17} Ye shall bring out of your
8057 habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine
8058 flour; they shall be baken with leaven; [they are] the firstfruits unto
8059 the LORD. {23:18} And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without
8060 blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they
8061 shall be [for] a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat
8062 offering, and their drink offerings, [even] an offering made by fire,
8063 of sweet savour unto the LORD. {23:19} Then ye shall sacrifice one kid
8064 of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a
8065 sacrifice of peace offerings. {23:20} And the priest shall wave them
8066 with the bread of the first fruits [for] a wave offering before the
8067 LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the
8068 priest. {23:21} And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, [that] it
8069 may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work
8070 [therein: it shall be] a statute for ever in all your dwellings
8071 throughout your generations.
8072
8073 {23:22} And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not
8074 make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest,
8075 neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave
8076 them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I [am] the LORD your God.
8077
8078 {23:23} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {23:24} Speak unto
8079 the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first
8080 [day] of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of
8081 trumpets, an holy convocation. {23:25} Ye shall do no servile work
8082 [therein:] but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
8083
8084 {23:26} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {23:27} Also on the
8085 tenth [day] of this seventh month [there shall be] a day of atonement:
8086 it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your
8087 souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. {23:28} And ye
8088 shall do no work in that same day: for it [is] a day of atonement, to
8089 make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. {23:29} For
8090 whatsoever soul [it be] that shall not be afflicted in that same day,
8091 he shall be cut off from among his people. {23:30} And whatsoever soul
8092 [it be] that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I
8093 destroy from among his people. {23:31} Ye shall do no manner of work:
8094 [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in all
8095 your dwellings. {23:32} It [shall be] unto you a sabbath of rest, and
8096 ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth [day] of the month at even,
8097 from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
8098
8099 {23:33} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {23:34} Speak unto
8100 the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month
8101 [shall be] the feast of tabernacles [for] seven days unto the LORD.
8102 {23:35} On the first day [shall be] an holy convocation: ye shall do no
8103 servile work [therein. ]{23:36} Seven days ye shall offer an offering
8104 made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy
8105 convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto
8106 the LORD: it [is] a solemn assembly; [and] ye shall do no servile work
8107 [therein. ]{23:37} These [are] the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall
8108 proclaim [to be] holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire
8109 unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and
8110 drink offerings, every thing upon his day: {23:38} Beside the sabbaths
8111 of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and
8112 beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
8113 {23:39} Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have
8114 gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD
8115 seven days: on the first day [shall be] a sabbath, and on the eighth
8116 day [shall be] a sabbath. {23:40} And ye shall take you on the first
8117 day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs
8118 of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before
8119 the LORD your God seven days. {23:41} And ye shall keep it a feast unto
8120 the LORD seven days in the year. [It shall be] a statute for ever in
8121 your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. {23:42}
8122 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall
8123 dwell in booths: {23:43} That your generations may know that I made the
8124 children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the
8125 land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God. {23:44} And Moses declared
8126 unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
8127
8128 {24:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {24:2} Command the
8129 children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for
8130 the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually. {24:3} Without the
8131 vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall
8132 Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the LORD
8133 continually: [it shall be] a statute for ever in your generations.
8134 {24:4} He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the
8135 LORD continually.
8136
8137 {24:5} And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes
8138 thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake. {24:6} And thou shalt
8139 set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the
8140 LORD. {24:7} And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon [each] row, that
8141 it may be on the bread for a memorial, [even] an offering made by fire
8142 unto the LORD. {24:8} Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the
8143 LORD continually, [being taken] from the children of Israel by an
8144 everlasting covenant. {24:9} And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and
8145 they shall eat it in the holy place: for it [is] most holy unto him of
8146 the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.
8147
8148 {24:10} And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father [was] an
8149 Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the
8150 Israelitish [woman] and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
8151 {24:11} And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name [of the
8152 LORD,] and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's
8153 name [was] Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)
8154 {24:12} And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be
8155 shewed them. {24:13} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {24:14}
8156 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that
8157 heard [him] lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation
8158 stone him. {24:15} And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel,
8159 saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. {24:16} And he
8160 that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death,
8161 [and] all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the
8162 stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name
8163 [of the LORD,] shall be put to death.
8164
8165 {24:17} And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.
8166 {24:18} And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for
8167 beast. {24:19} And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he
8168 hath done, so shall it be done to him; {24:20} Breach for breach, eye
8169 for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so
8170 shall it be done to him [again. ]{24:21} And he that killeth a beast,
8171 he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to
8172 death. {24:22} Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the
8173 stranger, as for one of your own country: for I [am] the LORD your God.
8174
8175 {24:23} And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should
8176 bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with
8177 stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
8178
8179 {25:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying, {25:2}
8180 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into
8181 the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the
8182 LORD. {25:3} Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou
8183 shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof; {25:4} But
8184 in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath
8185 for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
8186 {25:5} That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt
8187 not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: [for] it is
8188 a year of rest unto the land. {25:6} And the sabbath of the land shall
8189 be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and
8190 for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
8191 {25:7} And for thy cattle, and for the beast that [are] in thy land,
8192 shall all the increase thereof be meat.
8193
8194 {25:8} And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee,
8195 seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years
8196 shall be unto thee forty and nine years. {25:9} Then shalt thou cause
8197 the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth [day] of the seventh
8198 month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound
8199 throughout all your land. {25:10} And ye shall hallow the fiftieth
8200 year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the
8201 inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return
8202 every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his
8203 family. {25:11} A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall
8204 not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather
8205 [the grapes] in it of thy vine undressed. {25:12} For it [is] the
8206 jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof
8207 out of the field. {25:13} In the year of this jubile ye shall return
8208 every man unto his possession. {25:14} And if thou sell [ought] unto
8209 thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not
8210 oppress one another: {25:15} According to the number of years after the
8211 jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, [and] according unto the number
8212 of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee: {25:16} According to
8213 the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and
8214 according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it:
8215 for [according] to the number [of the years] of the fruits doth he sell
8216 unto thee. {25:17} Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou
8217 shalt fear thy God: for I [am] the LORD your God.
8218
8219 {25:18} Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments,
8220 and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety. {25:19} And the
8221 land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell
8222 therein in safety. {25:20} And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the
8223 seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
8224 {25:21} Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and
8225 it shall bring forth fruit for three years. {25:22} And ye shall sow
8226 the eighth year, and eat [yet] of old fruit until the ninth year; until
8227 her fruits come in ye shall eat [of] the old [store.]
8228
8229 {25:23} The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land [is] mine;
8230 for ye [are] strangers and sojourners with me. {25:24} And in all the
8231 land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
8232
8233 {25:25} If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away [some] of
8234 his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he
8235 redeem that which his brother sold. {25:26} And if the man have none to
8236 redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it; {25:27} Then let him count
8237 the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to
8238 whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession. {25:28} But if
8239 he be not able to restore [it] to him, then that which is sold shall
8240 remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile:
8241 and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his
8242 possession. {25:29} And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled
8243 city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold;
8244 [within] a full year may he redeem it. {25:30} And if it be not
8245 redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that [is] in
8246 the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it
8247 throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile. {25:31}
8248 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them
8249 shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed,
8250 and they shall go out in the jubile. {25:32} Notwithstanding the cities
8251 of the Levites, [and] the houses of the cities of their possession, may
8252 the Levites redeem at any time. {25:33} And if a man purchase of the
8253 Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession,
8254 shall go out in [the year of] jubile: for the houses of the cities of
8255 the Levites [are] their possession among the children of Israel.
8256 {25:34} But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold;
8257 for it is their perpetual possession.
8258
8259 {25:35} And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with
8260 thee; then thou shalt relieve him: [yea, though he be] a stranger, or a
8261 sojourner; that he may live with thee. {25:36} Take thou no usury of
8262 him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with
8263 thee. {25:37} Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend
8264 him thy victuals for increase. {25:38} I [am] the LORD your God, which
8265 brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of
8266 Canaan, [and] to be your God.
8267
8268 {25:39} And if thy brother [that dwelleth] by thee be waxen poor,
8269 and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a
8270 bondservant: {25:40} [But] as an hired servant, [and] as a sojourner,
8271 he shall be with thee, [and] shall serve thee unto the year of jubile:
8272 {25:41} And [then] shall he depart from thee, [both] he and his
8273 children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the
8274 possession of his fathers shall he return. {25:42} For they [are] my
8275 servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall
8276 not be sold as bondmen. {25:43} Thou shalt not rule over him with
8277 rigour; but shalt fear thy God. {25:44} Both thy bondmen, and thy
8278 bondmaids, which thou shalt have, [shall be] of the heathen that are
8279 round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. {25:45}
8280 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of
8281 them shall ye buy, and of their families that [are] with you, which
8282 they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. {25:46} And
8283 ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to
8284 inherit [them for] a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever:
8285 but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one
8286 over another with rigour.
8287
8288 {25:47} And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy
8289 brother [that dwelleth] by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the
8290 stranger [or] sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's
8291 family: {25:48} After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of
8292 his brethren may redeem him: {25:49} Either his uncle, or his uncle's
8293 son, may redeem him, or [any] that is nigh of kin unto him of his
8294 family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself. {25:50}
8295 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was
8296 sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be
8297 according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired
8298 servant shall it be with him. {25:51} If [there be] yet many years
8299 [behind,] according unto them he shall give again the price of his
8300 redemption out of the money that he was bought for. {25:52} And if
8301 there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count
8302 with him, [and] according unto his years shall he give him again the
8303 price of his redemption. {25:53} [And] as a yearly hired servant shall
8304 he be with him: [and the other] shall not rule with rigour over him in
8305 thy sight. {25:54} And if he be not redeemed in these [years,] then he
8306 shall go out in the year of jubile, [both] he, and his children with
8307 him. {25:55} For unto me the children of Israel [are] servants; they
8308 [are] my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I [am]
8309 the LORD your God.
8310
8311 {26:1} Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you
8312 up a standing image, neither shall ye set up [any] image of stone in
8313 your land, to bow down unto it: for I [am] the LORD your God.
8314
8315 {26:2} Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I [am]
8316 the LORD.
8317
8318 {26:3} If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do
8319 them; {26:4} Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land
8320 shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their
8321 fruit. {26:5} And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the
8322 vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread
8323 to the full, and dwell in your land safely. {26:6} And I will give
8324 peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make [you]
8325 afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the
8326 sword go through your land. {26:7} And ye shall chase your enemies, and
8327 they shall fall before you by the sword. {26:8} And five of you shall
8328 chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to
8329 flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. {26:9} For
8330 I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you,
8331 and establish my covenant with you. {26:10} And ye shall eat old store,
8332 and bring forth the old because of the new. {26:11} And I will set my
8333 tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. {26:12} And I
8334 will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
8335 {26:13} I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the
8336 land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken
8337 the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
8338
8339 {26:14} But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all
8340 these commandments; {26:15} And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if
8341 your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my
8342 commandments, [but] that ye break my covenant: {26:16} I also will do
8343 this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and
8344 the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of
8345 heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat
8346 it. {26:17} And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain
8347 before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye
8348 shall flee when none pursueth you. {26:18} And if ye will not yet for
8349 all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for
8350 your sins. {26:19} And I will break the pride of your power; and I will
8351 make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: {26:20} And your
8352 strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her
8353 increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
8354
8355 {26:21} And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto
8356 me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your
8357 sins. {26:22} I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob
8358 you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in
8359 number; and your [high] ways shall be desolate. {26:23} And if ye will
8360 not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
8361 {26:24} Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you
8362 yet seven times for your sins. {26:25} And I will bring a sword upon
8363 you, that shall avenge the quarrel of [my] covenant: and when ye are
8364 gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among
8365 you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. {26:26}
8366 [And] when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake
8367 your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver [you] your bread again
8368 by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. {26:27} And if ye
8369 will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
8370 {26:28} Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I,
8371 will chastise you seven times for your sins. {26:29} And ye shall eat
8372 the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
8373 {26:30} And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images,
8374 and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul
8375 shall abhor you. {26:31} And I will make your cities waste, and bring
8376 your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of
8377 your sweet odours. {26:32} And I will bring the land into desolation:
8378 and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. {26:33}
8379 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword
8380 after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
8381 {26:34} Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth
8382 desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; [even] then shall the land
8383 rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. {26:35} As long as it lieth desolate it
8384 shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt
8385 upon it. {26:36} And upon them that are left [alive] of you I will send
8386 a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the
8387 sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as
8388 fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. {26:37}
8389 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when
8390 none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
8391 {26:38} And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your
8392 enemies shall eat you up. {26:39} And they that are left of you shall
8393 pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the
8394 iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. {26:40} If
8395 they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers,
8396 with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also
8397 they have walked contrary unto me; {26:41} And [that] I also have
8398 walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their
8399 enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then
8400 accept of the punishment of their iniquity: {26:42} Then will I
8401 remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and
8402 also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the
8403 land. {26:43} The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her
8404 sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept
8405 of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they
8406 despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
8407 {26:44} And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their
8408 enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to
8409 destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I [am]
8410 the LORD their God. {26:45} But I will for their sakes remember the
8411 covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of
8412 Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I [am]
8413 the LORD. {26:46} These [are] the statutes and judgments and laws,
8414 which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount
8415 Sinai by the hand of Moses.
8416
8417 {27:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {27:2} Speak unto the
8418 children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular
8419 vow, the persons [shall be] for the LORD by thy estimation. {27:3} And
8420 thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto
8421 sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver,
8422 after the shekel of the sanctuary. {27:4} And if it [be] a female, then
8423 thy estimation shall be thirty shekels. {27:5} And if [it be] from five
8424 years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of
8425 the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. {27:6} And if
8426 [it be] from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation
8427 shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy
8428 estimation [shall be] three shekels of silver. {27:7} And if [it be]
8429 from sixty years old and above; if [it be] a male, then thy estimation
8430 shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. {27:8} But if
8431 he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before
8432 the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability
8433 that vowed shall the priest value him. {27:9} And if [it be] a beast,
8434 whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that [any man] giveth
8435 of such unto the LORD shall be holy. {27:10} He shall not alter it, nor
8436 change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at
8437 all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be
8438 holy. {27:11} And if [it be] any unclean beast, of which they do not
8439 offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before
8440 the priest: {27:12} And the priest shall value it, whether it be good
8441 or bad: as thou valuest it, [who art] the priest, so shall it be.
8442 {27:13} But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth
8443 [part] thereof unto thy estimation.
8444
8445 {27:14} And when a man shall sanctify his house [to be] holy unto
8446 the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad:
8447 as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand. {27:15} And if he
8448 that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth
8449 [part] of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.
8450 {27:16} And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD [some part] of a
8451 field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the
8452 seed thereof: an homer of barley seed [shall be valued] at fifty
8453 shekels of silver. {27:17} If he sanctify his field from the year of
8454 jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand. {27:18} But if he
8455 sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto
8456 him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of
8457 the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation. {27:19} And if
8458 he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall
8459 add the fifth [part] of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it
8460 shall be assured to him. {27:20} And if he will not redeem the field,
8461 or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed
8462 any more. {27:21} But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall
8463 be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall
8464 be the priest's. {27:22} And if [a man] sanctify unto the LORD a field
8465 which he hath bought, which [is] not of the fields of his possession;
8466 {27:23} Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy
8467 estimation, [even] unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine
8468 estimation in that day, [as] a holy thing unto the LORD. {27:24} In the
8469 year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was
8470 bought, [even] to him to whom the possession of the land [did belong.
8471 ]{27:25} And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of
8472 the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
8473
8474 {27:26} Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD'S
8475 firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether [it be] ox, or sheep: it
8476 [is] the LORD'S. {27:27} And if [it be] of an unclean beast, then he
8477 shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth
8478 [part] of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold
8479 according to thy estimation. {27:28} Notwithstanding no devoted thing,
8480 that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, [both] of
8481 man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or
8482 redeemed: every devoted thing [is] most holy unto the LORD. {27:29}
8483 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; [but]
8484 shall surely be put to death. {27:30} And all the tithe of the land,
8485 [whether] of the seed of the land, [or] of the fruit of the tree, [is]
8486 the LORD'S: [it is] holy unto the LORD. {27:31} And if a man will at
8487 all redeem [ought] of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth [part]
8488 thereof. {27:32} And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock,
8489 [even] of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy
8490 unto the LORD. {27:33} He shall not search whether it be good or bad,
8491 neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it
8492 and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. {27:34}
8493 These [are] the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the
8494 children of Israel in mount Sinai.
8495
8496
8497
8498
8499
8500 The Fourth Book of Moses, called Numbers
8501
8502 {1:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in
8503 the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first [day] of the second
8504 month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of
8505 Egypt, saying, {1:2} Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the
8506 children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their
8507 fathers, with the number of [their] names, every male by their polls;
8508 {1:3} From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth
8509 to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies.
8510 {1:4} And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head
8511 of the house of his fathers.
8512
8513 {1:5} And these [are] the names of the men that shall stand with
8514 you: of [the tribe of] Reuben; Elizur the son of Shedeur. {1:6} Of
8515 Simeon; Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. {1:7} Of Judah; Nahshon the
8516 son of Amminadab. {1:8} Of Issachar; Nethaneel the son of Zuar. {1:9}
8517 Of Zebulun; Eliab the son of Helon. {1:10} Of the children of Joseph:
8518 of Ephraim; Elishama the son of Ammihud: of Manasseh; Gamaliel the son
8519 of Pedahzur. {1:11} Of Benjamin; Abidan the son of Gideoni. {1:12} Of
8520 Dan; Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. {1:13} Of Asher; Pagiel the son of
8521 Ocran. {1:14} Of Gad; Eliasaph the son of Deuel. {1:15} Of Naphtali;
8522 Ahira the son of Enan. {1:16} These [were] the renowned of the
8523 congregation, princes of the tribes of their fathers, heads of
8524 thousands in Israel.
8525
8526 {1:17} And Moses and Aaron took these men which are expressed by
8527 [their] names: {1:18} And they assembled all the congregation together
8528 on the first [day] of the second month, and they declared their

8612 thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
8613
8614 {1:47} But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not

8616 {1:49} Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the
8617 sum of them among the children of Israel: {1:50} But thou shalt appoint
8618 the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels
8619 thereof, and over all things that [belong] to it: they shall bear the
8620 tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto
8621 it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle. {1:51} And when the
8622 tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when
8623 the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the
8624 stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. {1:52} And the
8625 children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp,
8626 and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts. {1:53} But
8627 the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that
8628 there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and
8629 the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.
8630 {1:54} And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD
8631 commanded Moses, so did they.
8632
8633 {2:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, {2:2}
8634 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard,
8635 with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle
8636 of the congregation shall they pitch. {2:3} And on the east side toward
8637 the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah
8638 pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab [shall
8639 be] captain of the children of Judah. {2:4} And his host, and those

8646 be] captain of the children of Zebulun. {2:8} And his host, and those
8647 that were numbered thereof, [were] fifty and seven thousand and four
8648 hundred. {2:9} All that were numbered in the camp of Judah [were] an
8649 hundred thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four
8650 hundred, throughout their armies. These shall first set forth.
8651
8652 {2:10} On the south side [shall be] the standard of the camp of
8653 Reuben according to their armies: and the captain of the children of
8654 Reuben [shall be] Elizur the son of Shedeur. {2:11} And his host, and
8655 those that were numbered thereof, [were] forty and six thousand and
8656 five hundred. {2:12} And those which pitch by him [shall be] the tribe
8657 of Simeon: and the captain of the children of Simeon [shall be]
8658 Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. {2:13} And his host, and those that
8659 were numbered of them, [were] fifty and nine thousand and three
8660 hundred. {2:14} Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of
8661 Gad [shall be] Eliasaph the son of Reuel. {2:15} And his host, and
8662 those that were numbered of them, [were] forty and five thousand and

8665 hundred and fifty, throughout their armies. And they shall set forth in
8666 the second rank.
8667
8668 {2:17} Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward
8669 with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp,
8670 so shall they set forward, every man in his place by their standards.
8671
8672 {2:18} On the west side [shall be] the standard of the camp of
8673 Ephraim according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of
8674 Ephraim [shall be] Elishama the son of Ammihud. {2:19} And his host,
8675 and those that were numbered of them, [were] forty thousand and five
8676 hundred. {2:20} And by him [shall be] the tribe of Manasseh: and the
8677 captain of the children of Manasseh [shall be] Gamaliel the son of
8678 Pedahzur. {2:21} And his host, and those that were numbered of them,
8679 [were] thirty and two thousand and two hundred. {2:22} Then the tribe
8680 of Benjamin: and the captain of the sons of Benjamin [shall be] Abidan
8681 the son of Gideoni. {2:23} And his host, and those that were numbered
8682 of them, [were] thirty and five thousand and four hundred. {2:24} All
8683 that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim [were] an hundred thousand
8684 and eight thousand and an hundred, throughout their armies. And they
8685 shall go forward in the third rank.
8686
8687 {2:25} The standard of the camp of Dan [shall be] on the north side
8688 by their armies: and the captain of the children of Dan [shall be]
8689 Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. {2:26} And his host, and those that
8690 were numbered of them, [were] threescore and two thousand and seven
8691 hundred. {2:27} And those that encamp by him [shall be] the tribe of
8692 Asher: and the captain of the children of Asher [shall be] Pagiel the
8693 son of Ocran. {2:28} And his host, and those that were numbered of
8694 them, [were] forty and one thousand and five hundred.
8695
8696 {2:29} Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the children
8697 of Naphtali [shall be] Ahira the son of Enan. {2:30} And his host, and
8698 those that were numbered of them, [were] fifty and three thousand and
8699 four hundred. {2:31} All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan
8700 [were] an hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six
8701 hundred. They shall go hindmost with their standards.
8702
8703 {2:32} These [are] those which were numbered of the children of
8704 Israel by the house of their fathers: all those that were numbered of
8705 the camps throughout their hosts [were] six hundred thousand and three
8706 thousand and five hundred and fifty. {2:33} But the Levites were not
8707 numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
8708 {2:34} And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD
8709 commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set
8710 forward, every one after their families, according to the house of
8711 their fathers.
8712
8713 {3:1} These also [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day
8714 [that] the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai. {3:2} And these [are]
8715 the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu,
8716 Eleazar, and Ithamar. {3:3} These [are] the names of the sons of Aaron,
8717 the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the
8718 priest's office. {3:4} And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when
8719 they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai,
8720 and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the
8721 priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.
8722
8723 {3:5} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {3:6} Bring the tribe
8724 of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may
8725 minister unto him. {3:7} And they shall keep his charge, and the charge
8726 of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to
8727 do the service of the tabernacle. {3:8} And they shall keep all the
8728 instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of
8729 the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. {3:9} And
8730 thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they [are]
8731 wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel. {3:10} And thou
8732 shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's
8733 office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. {3:11}
8734 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {3:12} And I, behold, I have
8735 taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the
8736 firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel:
8737 therefore the Levites shall be mine; {3:13} Because all the firstborn
8738 [are] mine; [for] on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land
8739 of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and
8740 beast: mine shall they be: I [am] the LORD.
8741
8742 {3:14} And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai,
8743 saying, {3:15} Number the children of Levi after the house of their
8744 fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward
8745 shalt thou number them. {3:16} And Moses numbered them according to the
8746 word of the LORD, as he was commanded. {3:17} And these were the sons
8747 of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. {3:18} And
8748 these [are] the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni,
8749 and Shimei. {3:19} And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and
8750 Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel. {3:20} And the sons of Merari by their
8751 families; Mahli, and Mushi. These [are] the families of the Levites
8752 according to the house of their fathers. {3:21} Of Gershon [was] the
8753 family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these [are] the
8754 families of the Gershonites. {3:22} Those that were numbered of them,
8755 according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward,
8756 [even] those that were numbered of them [were] seven thousand and five
8757 hundred. {3:23} The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the
8758 tabernacle westward. {3:24} And the chief of the house of the father of
8759 the Gershonites [shall be] Eliasaph the son of Lael. {3:25} And the
8760 charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation
8761 [shall be] the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the
8762 hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, {3:26} And
8763 the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court,
8764 which [is] by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the
8765 cords of it for all the service thereof.
8766
8767 {3:27} And of Kohath [was] the family of the Amramites, and the
8768 family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the
8769 family of the Uzzielites: these [are] the families of the Kohathites.
8770 {3:28} In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward,
8771 [were] eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the
8772 sanctuary. {3:29} The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the
8773 side of the tabernacle southward. {3:30} And the chief of the house of
8774 the father of the families of the Kohathites [shall be] Elizaphan the
8775 son of Uzziel. {3:31} And their charge [shall be] the ark, and the
8776 table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the
8777 sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service
8778 thereof. {3:32} And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest [shall be]
8779 chief over the chief of the Levites, [and have] the oversight of them
8780 that keep the charge of the sanctuary.
8781
8782 {3:33} Of Merari [was] the family of the Mahlites, and the family of
8783 the Mushites: these [are] the families of Merari. {3:34} And those that
8784 were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a
8785 month old and upward, [were] six thousand and two hundred. {3:35} And
8786 the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari [was]
8787 Zuriel the son of Abihail: [these] shall pitch on the side of the
8788 tabernacle northward. {3:36} And [under] the custody and charge of the
8789 sons of Merari [shall be] the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars
8790 thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the
8791 vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto, {3:37} And the pillars
8792 of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their
8793 cords.
8794
8795 {3:38} But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east,
8796 [even] before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, [shall be]
8797 Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for
8798 the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh
8799 shall be put to death. {3:39} All that were numbered of the Levites,
8800 which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD,
8801 throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward,
8802 [were] twenty and two thousand.
8803
8804 {3:40} And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the
8805 males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take
8806 the number of their names. {3:41} And thou shalt take the Levites for
8807 me (I [am] the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of
8808 Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings
8809 among the cattle of the children of Israel. {3:42} And Moses numbered,
8810 as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of
8811 Israel. {3:43} And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from
8812 a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were
8813 twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.
8814
8815 {3:44} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {3:45} Take the
8816 Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and
8817 the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites
8818 shall be mine: I [am] the LORD. {3:46} And for those that are to be
8819 redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the
8820 firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;
8821 {3:47} Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the
8822 shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take [them:] (the shekel [is] twenty
8823 gerahs:) {3:48} And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number
8824 of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons. {3:49} And Moses
8825 took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that
8826 were redeemed by the Levites: {3:50} Of the firstborn of the children
8827 of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore
8828 and five [shekels,] after the shekel of the sanctuary: {3:51} And Moses
8829 gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons,
8830 according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
8831
8832 {4:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, {4:2}
8833 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after
8834 their families, by the house of their fathers, {4:3} From thirty years
8835 old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the
8836 host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation. {4:4} This
8837 [shall be] the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the
8838 congregation, [about] the most holy things:
8839
8840 {4:5} And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his
8841 sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of
8842 testimony with it: {4:6} And shall put thereon the covering of badgers'
8843 skins, and shall spread over [it] a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put
8844 in the staves thereof. {4:7} And upon the table of shewbread they shall
8845 spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and
8846 the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be
8847 thereon: {4:8} And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and
8848 cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the
8849 staves thereof. {4:9} And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover
8850 the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his
8851 snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister
8852 unto it: {4:10} And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof
8853 within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put [it] upon a bar.
8854 {4:11} And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and
8855 cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the staves
8856 thereof: {4:12} And they shall take all the instruments of ministry,
8857 wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put [them] in a cloth of
8858 blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put
8859 [them] on a bar: {4:13} And they shall take away the ashes from the
8860 altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon: {4:14} And they shall put
8861 upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it,
8862 [even] the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons,
8863 all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering
8864 of badgers skins, and put to the staves of it. {4:15} And when Aaron
8865 and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the
8866 vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that,
8867 the sons of Kohath shall come to bear [it:] but they shall not touch
8868 [any] holy thing, lest they die. These [things are] the burden of the
8869 sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.
8870
8871 {4:16} And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest
8872 [pertaineth] the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the
8873 daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, [and] the oversight of all
8874 the tabernacle, and of all that therein [is,] in the sanctuary, and in
8875 the vessels thereof.
8876
8877 {4:17} And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, {4:18}
8878 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among
8879 the Levites: {4:19} But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not
8880 die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons
8881 shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his
8882 burden: {4:20} But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are
8883 covered, lest they die.
8884
8885 {4:21} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {4:22} Take also the
8886 sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by
8887 their families; {4:23} From thirty years old and upward until fifty
8888 years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the
8889 service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation. {4:24}
8890 This [is] the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and
8891 for burdens: {4:25} And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle,
8892 and the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering
8893 of the badgers' skins that [is] above upon it, and the hanging for the
8894 door of the tabernacle of the congregation, {4:26} And the hangings of
8895 the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which
8896 [is] by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords,
8897 and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for
8898 them: so shall they serve. {4:27} At the appointment of Aaron and his
8899 sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all
8900 their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them
8901 in charge all their burdens. {4:28} This is the service of the families
8902 of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their
8903 charge [shall be] under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
8904
8905 {4:29} As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their
8906 families, by the house of their fathers; {4:30} From thirty years old
8907 and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one
8908 that entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the
8909 congregation. {4:31} And this [is] the charge of their burden,
8910 according to all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation;
8911 the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars
8912 thereof, and sockets thereof, {4:32} And the pillars of the court round
8913 about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all
8914 their instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall
8915 reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden. {4:33} This [is]
8916 the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all
8917 their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of
8918 Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
8919
8920 {4:34} And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation
8921 numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the
8922 house of their fathers, {4:35} From thirty years old and upward even
8923 unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the
8924 work in the tabernacle of the congregation: {4:36} And those that were
8925 numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and
8926 fifty. {4:37} These [were] they that were numbered of the families of
8927 the Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the
8928 congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to the
8929 commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. {4:38} And those that
8930 were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by
8931 the house of their fathers, {4:39} From thirty years old and upward
8932 even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service,
8933 for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation, {4:40} Even those
8934 that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the house of
8935 their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty. {4:41}
8936 These [are] they that were numbered of the families of the sons of
8937 Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of the
8938 congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number according to the
8939 commandment of the LORD.
8940
8941 {4:42} And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of
8942 Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers,
8943 {4:43} From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
8944 every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the
8945 tabernacle of the congregation, {4:44} Even those that were numbered of
8946 them after their families, were three thousand and two hundred. {4:45}
8947 These [be] those that were numbered of the families of the sons of
8948 Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the LORD
8949 by the hand of Moses. {4:46} All those that were numbered of the
8950 Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the chief of Israel numbered, after
8951 their families, and after the house of their fathers, {4:47} From
8952 thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that
8953 came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden
8954 in the tabernacle of the congregation, {4:48} Even those that were
8955 numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore.
8956 {4:49} According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered by
8957 the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to
8958 his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the LORD commanded Moses.
8959
8960 {5:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {5:2} Command the
8961 children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and
8962 every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:
8963 {5:3} Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye
8964 put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I
8965 dwell. {5:4} And the children of Israel did so, and put them out
8966 without the camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of
8967 Israel.
8968
8969 {5:5} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {5:6} Speak unto the
8970 children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men
8971 commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty;
8972 {5:7} Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he
8973 shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto
8974 it the fifth [part] thereof, and give [it] unto [him] against whom he
8975 hath trespassed. {5:8} But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the
8976 trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, [even] to
8977 the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall
8978 be made for him. {5:9} And every offering of all the holy things of the
8979 children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
8980 {5:10} And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man
8981 giveth the priest, it shall be his.
8982
8983 {5:11} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {5:12} Speak unto the
8984 children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and
8985 commit a trespass against him, {5:13} And a man lie with her carnally,
8986 and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she
8987 be defiled, and [there be] no witness against her, neither she be taken
8988 [with the manner; ]{5:14} And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and
8989 he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of
8990 jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not
8991 defiled: {5:15} Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and
8992 he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth [part] of an ephah of
8993 barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense
8994 thereon; for it [is] an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial,
8995 bringing iniquity to remembrance. {5:16} And the priest shall bring her
8996 near, and set her before the LORD: {5:17} And the priest shall take
8997 holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor
8998 of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put [it] into the water:
8999 {5:18} And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover
9000 the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which
9001 [is] the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the
9002 bitter water that causeth the curse: {5:19} And the priest shall charge
9003 her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee,
9004 and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness [with another] instead
9005 of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the
9006 curse: {5:20} But if thou hast gone aside [to another] instead of thy
9007 husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee
9008 beside thine husband: {5:21} Then the priest shall charge the woman
9009 with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The
9010 LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth
9011 make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell; {5:22} And this water
9012 that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make [thy] belly to
9013 swell, and [thy] thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
9014 {5:23} And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall
9015 blot [them] out with the bitter water: {5:24} And he shall cause the
9016 woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water
9017 that causeth the curse shall enter into her, [and become] bitter.
9018 {5:25} Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the
9019 woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it
9020 upon the altar: {5:26} And the priest shall take an handful of the
9021 offering, [even] the memorial thereof, and burn [it] upon the altar,
9022 and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water. {5:27} And when
9023 he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass,
9024 [that,] if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband,
9025 that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, [and
9026 become] bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and
9027 the woman shall be a curse among her people. {5:28} And if the woman be
9028 not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive
9029 seed. {5:29} This [is] the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside
9030 [to another] instead of her husband, and is defiled; {5:30} Or when the
9031 spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife,
9032 and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute
9033 upon her all this law. {5:31} Then shall the man be guiltless from
9034 iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.
9035
9036 {6:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {6:2} Speak unto the
9037 children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall
9038 separate [themselves] to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate
9039 [themselves] unto the LORD: {6:3} He shall separate [himself] from wine
9040 and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of
9041 strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat
9042 moist grapes, or dried. {6:4} All the days of his separation shall he
9043 eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the
9044 husk. {6:5} All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no
9045 razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he
9046 separateth [himself] unto the LORD, he shall be holy, [and] shall let
9047 the locks of the hair of his head grow. {6:6} All the days that he
9048 separateth [himself] unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body. {6:7}
9049 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother,
9050 for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the
9051 consecration of his God [is] upon his head. {6:8} All the days of his
9052 separation he [is] holy unto the LORD. {6:9} And if any man die very
9053 suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then
9054 he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day
9055 shall he shave it. {6:10} And on the eighth day he shall bring two
9056 turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the
9057 tabernacle of the congregation: {6:11} And the priest shall offer the
9058 one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an
9059 atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his
9060 head that same day. {6:12} And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the
9061 days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a
9062 trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because
9063 his separation was defiled.
9064
9065 {6:13} And this [is] the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his
9066 separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the
9067 tabernacle of the congregation: {6:14} And he shall offer his offering
9068 unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a
9069 burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for
9070 a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings, {6:15}
9071 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil,
9072 and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat
9073 offering, and their drink offerings. {6:16} And the priest shall bring
9074 [them] before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt
9075 offering: {6:17} And he shall offer the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace
9076 offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the
9077 priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering.
9078 {6:18} And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation [at] the
9079 door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of
9080 the head of his separation, and put [it] in the fire which [is] under
9081 the sacrifice of the peace offerings. {6:19} And the priest shall take
9082 the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the
9083 basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put [them] upon the hands
9084 of the Nazarite, after [the hair of] his separation is shaven: {6:20}
9085 And the priest shall wave them [for] a wave offering before the LORD:
9086 this [is] holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder:
9087 and after that the Nazarite may drink wine. {6:21} This [is] the law of
9088 the Nazarite who hath vowed, [and of] his offering unto the LORD for
9089 his separation, beside that [that] his hand shall get: according to the
9090 vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.
9091
9092 {6:22} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {6:23} Speak unto
9093 Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the
9094 children of Israel, saying unto them, {6:24} The LORD bless thee, and
9095 keep thee: {6:25} The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be
9096 gracious unto thee: {6:26} The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee,
9097 and give thee peace. {6:27} And they shall put my name upon the
9098 children of Israel; and I will bless them.
9099
9100 {7:1} And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the
9101 tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the
9102 instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and
9103 had anointed them, and sanctified them; {7:2} That the princes of
9104 Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who [were] the princes of
9105 the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered: {7:3} And
9106 they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and
9107 twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox:
9108 and they brought them before the tabernacle. {7:4} And the LORD spake
9109 unto Moses, saying, {7:5} Take [it] of them, that they may be to do the
9110 service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them
9111 unto the Levites, to every man according to his service. {7:6} And
9112 Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites.
9113 {7:7} Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon,
9114 according to their service: {7:8} And four wagons and eight oxen he
9115 gave unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service, under the
9116 hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. {7:9} But unto the sons of
9117 Kohath he gave none: because the service of the sanctuary belonging
9118 unto them [was that] they should bear upon their shoulders.
9119
9120 {7:10} And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the
9121 day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering
9122 before the altar. {7:11} And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer
9123 their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.
9124
9125 {7:12} And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon
9126 the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah: {7:13} And his offering

9239 bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year, for a burnt offering:
9240 {7:70} One kid of the goats for a sin offering: {7:71} And for a
9241 sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five
9242 lambs of the first year: this [was] the offering of Ahiezer the son of
9243 Ammishaddai.
9244
9245 {7:72} On the eleventh day Pagiel the son of Ocran, prince of the
9246 children of Asher, [offered: ]{7:73} His offering [was] one silver
9247 charger, the weight whereof [was] an hundred and thirty [shekels,] one
9248 silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both
9249 of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering: {7:74}
9250 One golden spoon of ten [shekels,] full of incense: {7:75} One young
9251 bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year, for a burnt offering:
9252 {7:76} One kid of the goats for a sin offering: {7:77} And for a
9253 sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five
9254 lambs of the first year: this [was] the offering of Pagiel the son of
9255 Ocran.
9256
9257 {7:78} On the twelfth day Ahira the son of Enan, prince of the
9258 children of Naphtali, [offered: ]{7:79} His offering [was] one silver
9259 charger, the weight whereof [was] an hundred and thirty [shekels,] one
9260 silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both
9261 of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering: {7:80}
9262 One golden spoon of ten [shekels,] full of incense: {7:81} One young
9263 bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year, for a burnt offering:
9264 {7:82} One kid of the goats for a sin offering: {7:83} And for a
9265 sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five
9266 lambs of the first year: this [was] the offering of Ahira the son of
9267 Enan. {7:84} This [was] the dedication of the altar, in the day when it
9268 was anointed, by the princes of Israel: twelve chargers of silver,
9269 twelve silver bowls, twelve spoons of gold: {7:85} Each charger of
9270 silver [weighing] an hundred and thirty [shekels,] each bowl seventy:
9271 all the silver vessels [weighed] two thousand and four hundred
9272 [shekels,] after the shekel of the sanctuary: {7:86} The golden spoons
9273 [were] twelve, full of incense, [weighing] ten [shekels] apiece, after
9274 the shekel of the sanctuary: all the gold of the spoons [was] an
9275 hundred and twenty [shekels. ]{7:87} All the oxen for the burnt
9276 offering [were] twelve bullocks, the rams twelve, the lambs of the
9277 first year twelve, with their meat offering: and the kids of the goats
9278 for sin offering twelve. {7:88} And all the oxen for the sacrifice of
9279 the peace offerings [were] twenty and four bullocks, the rams sixty,
9280 the he goats sixty, the lambs of the first year sixty. This [was] the
9281 dedication of the altar, after that it was anointed. {7:89} And when
9282 Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with
9283 him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the
9284 mercy seat that [was] upon the ark of testimony, from between the two
9285 cherubims: and he spake unto him.
9286
9287 {8:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {8:2} Speak unto Aaron,
9288 and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall
9289 give light over against the candlestick. {8:3} And Aaron did so; he
9290 lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD
9291 commanded Moses. {8:4} And this work of the candlestick [was of] beaten
9292 gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, [was] beaten
9293 work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he
9294 made the candlestick.
9295
9296 {8:5} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {8:6} Take the Levites
9297 from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them. {8:7} And thus
9298 shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying
9299 upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their
9300 clothes, and [so] make themselves clean. {8:8} Then let them take a
9301 young bullock with his meat offering, [even] fine flour mingled with
9302 oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering.
9303 {8:9} And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the
9304 congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children
9305 of Israel together: {8:10} And thou shalt bring the Levites before the
9306 LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the
9307 Levites: {8:11} And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD [for]
9308 an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the
9309 service of the LORD. {8:12} And the Levites shall lay their hands upon
9310 the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one [for] a sin
9311 offering, and the other [for] a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make
9312 an atonement for the Levites. {8:13} And thou shalt set the Levites
9313 before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them [for] an offering
9314 unto the LORD. {8:14} Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among
9315 the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine. {8:15} And after
9316 that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the
9317 congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them [for] an
9318 offering. {8:16} For they [are] wholly given unto me from among the
9319 children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, [even instead
9320 of] the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto
9321 me. {8:17} For all the firstborn of the children of Israel [are] mine,
9322 [both] man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the
9323 land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself. {8:18} And I have taken the
9324 Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel. {8:19} And I
9325 have given the Levites [as] a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among
9326 the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in
9327 the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the
9328 children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of
9329 Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.
9330 {8:20} And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children
9331 of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD
9332 commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel
9333 unto them. {8:21} And the Levites were purified, and they washed their
9334 clothes; and Aaron offered them [as] an offering before the LORD; and
9335 Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them. {8:22} And after that
9336 went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the
9337 congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had
9338 commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
9339
9340 {8:23} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {8:24} This [is it]
9341 that [belongeth] unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and
9342 upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of
9343 the congregation: {8:25} And from the age of fifty years they shall
9344 cease waiting upon the service [thereof,] and shall serve no more:
9345 {8:26} But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the
9346 congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt
9347 thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
9348
9349 {9:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in
9350 the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land
9351 of Egypt, saying, {9:2} Let the children of Israel also keep the
9352 passover at his appointed season. {9:3} In the fourteenth day of this
9353 month, at even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to
9354 all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall
9355 ye keep it. {9:4} And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that
9356 they should keep the passover. {9:5} And they kept the passover on the
9357 fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai:
9358 according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of
9359 Israel.
9360
9361 {9:6} And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body
9362 of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they
9363 came before Moses and before Aaron on that day: {9:7} And those men
9364 said unto him, We [are] defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore
9365 are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his
9366 appointed season among the children of Israel? {9:8} And Moses said
9367 unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command
9368 concerning you.
9369
9370 {9:9} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {9:10} Speak unto the
9371 children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity
9372 shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or [be] in a journey afar
9373 off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD. {9:11} The
9374 fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, [and]
9375 eat it with unleavened bread and bitter [herbs. ]{9:12} They shall
9376 leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according
9377 to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it. {9:13} But
9378 the man that [is] clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to
9379 keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his
9380 people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his
9381 appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. {9:14} And if a stranger
9382 shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD;
9383 according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner
9384 thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the
9385 stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
9386
9387 {9:15} And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud
9388 covered the tabernacle, [namely,] the tent of the testimony: and at
9389 even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire,
9390 until the morning. {9:16} So it was alway: the cloud covered it [by
9391 day,] and the appearance of fire by night. {9:17} And when the cloud
9392 was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of
9393 Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the
9394 children of Israel pitched their tents. {9:18} At the commandment of
9395 the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of
9396 the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle
9397 they rested in their tents. {9:19} And when the cloud tarried long upon
9398 the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge
9399 of the LORD, and journeyed not. {9:20} And [so] it was, when the cloud
9400 was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the
9401 LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the
9402 LORD they journeyed. {9:21} And [so] it was, when the cloud abode from
9403 even unto the morning, and [that] the cloud was taken up in the
9404 morning, then they journeyed: whether [it was] by day or by night that
9405 the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. {9:22} Or [whether it were] two
9406 days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the
9407 tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their
9408 tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
9409 {9:23} At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at
9410 the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the
9411 LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
9412
9413 {10:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {10:2} Make thee two
9414 trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou
9415 mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying
9416 of the camps. {10:3} And when they shall blow with them, all the
9417 assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the
9418 tabernacle of the congregation. {10:4} And if they blow [but] with one
9419 [trumpet,] then the princes, [which are] heads of the thousands of
9420 Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee. {10:5} When ye blow an
9421 alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
9422 {10:6} When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie
9423 on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm
9424 for their journeys. {10:7} But when the congregation is to be gathered
9425 together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm. {10:8} And
9426 the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they
9427 shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.
9428 {10:9} And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that
9429 oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye
9430 shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved
9431 from your enemies. {10:10} Also in the day of your gladness, and in
9432 your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow
9433 with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of
9434 your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before
9435 your God: I [am] the LORD your God.
9436
9437 {10:11} And it came to pass on the twentieth [day] of the second
9438 month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the
9439 tabernacle of the testimony. {10:12} And the children of Israel took
9440 their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in
9441 the wilderness of Paran. {10:13} And they first took their journey
9442 according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
9443
9444 {10:14} In the first [place] went the standard of the camp of the
9445 children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host [was]
9446 Nahshon the son of Amminadab. {10:15} And over the host of the tribe of
9447 the children of Issachar [was] Nethaneel the son of Zuar. {10:16} And
9448 over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun [was] Eliab the
9449 son of Helon. {10:17} And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons
9450 of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
9451
9452 {10:18} And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according
9453 to their armies: and over his host [was] Elizur the son of Shedeur.
9454 {10:19} And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was
9455 Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. {10:20} And over the host of the
9456 tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel. {10:21} And
9457 the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and [the other] did
9458 set up the tabernacle against they came.
9459
9460 {10:22} And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set
9461 forward according to their armies: and over his host [was] Elishama the
9462 son of Ammihud. {10:23} And over the host of the tribe of the children
9463 of Manasseh [was] Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. {10:24} And over the
9464 host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin [was] Abidan the son of
9465 Gideoni.
9466
9467 {10:25} And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set
9468 forward, [which was] the rereward of all the camps throughout their
9469 hosts: and over his host [was] Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. {10:26}
9470 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher [was] Pagiel
9471 the son of Ocran. {10:27} And over the host of the tribe of the
9472 children of Naphtali [was] Ahira the son of Enan. {10:28} Thus [were]
9473 the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies,
9474 when they set forward.
9475
9476 {10:29} And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite,
9477 Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the
9478 LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee
9479 good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel. {10:30} And he
9480 said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and
9481 to my kindred. {10:31} And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee;
9482 forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and
9483 thou mayest be to us instead of eyes. {10:32} And it shall be, if thou
9484 go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do unto
9485 us, the same will we do unto thee.
9486
9487 {10:33} And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days'
9488 journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in
9489 the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.
9490 {10:34} And the cloud of the LORD [was] upon them by day, when they
9491 went out of the camp. {10:35} And it came to pass, when the ark set
9492 forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be
9493 scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee. {10:36} And
9494 when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of
9495 Israel.
9496
9497 {11:1} And [when] the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and
9498 the LORD heard [it;] and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the
9499 LORD burnt among them, and consumed [them that were] in the uttermost
9500 parts of the camp. {11:2} And the people cried unto Moses; and when
9501 Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched. {11:3} And he called
9502 the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among
9503 them.
9504
9505 {11:4} And the mixt multitude that [was] among them fell a lusting:
9506 and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us
9507 flesh to eat? {11:5} We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt
9508 freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions,
9509 and the garlick: {11:6} But now our soul [is] dried away: [there is]
9510 nothing at all, beside this manna, [before] our eyes. {11:7} And the
9511 manna [was] as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of
9512 bdellium. {11:8} [And] the people went about, and gathered [it,] and
9513 ground [it] in mills, or beat [it] in a mortar, and baked [it] in pans,
9514 and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh
9515 oil. {11:9} And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna
9516 fell upon it.
9517
9518 {11:10} Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families,
9519 every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was
9520 kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased. {11:11} And Moses said unto
9521 the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have
9522 I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all
9523 this people upon me? {11:12} Have I conceived all this people? have I
9524 begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy
9525 bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land
9526 which thou swarest unto their fathers? {11:13} Whence should I have
9527 flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give
9528 us flesh, that we may eat. {11:14} I am not able to bear all this
9529 people alone, because [it is] too heavy for me. {11:15} And if thou
9530 deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found
9531 favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
9532
9533 {11:16} And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of
9534 the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people,
9535 and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the
9536 congregation, that they may stand there with thee. {11:17} And I will
9537 come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which
9538 [is] upon thee, and will put [it] upon them; and they shall bear the
9539 burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
9540 {11:18} And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to
9541 morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the
9542 LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for [it was] well with us
9543 in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
9544 {11:19} Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither
9545 ten days, nor twenty days; {11:20} [But] even a whole month, until it
9546 come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that
9547 ye have despised the LORD which [is] among you, and have wept before
9548 him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt? {11:21} And Moses said,
9549 The people, among whom I [am, are] six hundred thousand footmen; and
9550 thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole
9551 month. {11:22} Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to
9552 suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for
9553 them, to suffice them? {11:23} And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the
9554 LORD'S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come
9555 to pass unto thee or not.
9556
9557 {11:24} And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the
9558 LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set
9559 them round about the tabernacle. {11:25} And the LORD came down in a
9560 cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that [was] upon him,
9561 and gave [it] unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, [that,]
9562 when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
9563 {11:26} But there remained two [of the] men in the camp, the name of
9564 the one [was] Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit
9565 rested upon them; and they [were] of them that were written, but went
9566 not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp. {11:27}
9567 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do
9568 prophesy in the camp. {11:28} And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of
9569 Moses, [one] of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid
9570 them. {11:29} And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would
9571 God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, [and] that the LORD would
9572 put his spirit upon them! {11:30} And Moses gat him into the camp, he
9573 and the elders of Israel.
9574
9575 {11:31} And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought
9576 quails from the sea, and let [them] fall by the camp, as it were a
9577 day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other
9578 side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits [high] upon the
9579 face of the earth. {11:32} And the people stood up all that day, and
9580 all [that] night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails:
9581 he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread [them] all
9582 abroad for themselves round about the camp. {11:33} And while the flesh
9583 [was] yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD
9584 was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a
9585 very great plague. {11:34} And he called the name of that place
9586 Kibroth-hattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
9587 {11:35} [And] the people journeyed from Kibroth- hattaavah unto
9588 Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
9589
9590 {12:1} And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the
9591 Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian
9592 woman. {12:2} And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses?
9593 hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard [it. ]{12:3} (Now the
9594 man Moses [was] very meek, above all the men which [were] upon the face
9595 of the earth.) {12:4} And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto
9596 Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the
9597 congregation. And they three came out. {12:5} And the LORD came down in
9598 the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and
9599 called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth. {12:6} And he said,
9600 Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, [I] the LORD will
9601 make myself known unto him in a vision, [and] will speak unto him in a
9602 dream. {12:7} My servant Moses [is] not so, who [is] faithful in all
9603 mine house. {12:8} With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even
9604 apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD
9605 shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my
9606 servant Moses? {12:9} And the anger of the LORD was kindled against
9607 them; and he departed. {12:10} And the cloud departed from off the
9608 tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam [became] leprous, [white] as snow: and
9609 Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, [she was] leprous. {12:11} And
9610 Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin
9611 upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
9612 {12:12} Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed
9613 when he cometh out of his mother's womb. {12:13} And Moses cried unto
9614 the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
9615
9616 {12:14} And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in
9617 her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out
9618 from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in [again.
9619 ]{12:15} And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the
9620 people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in [again. ]{12:16} And
9621 afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the
9622 wilderness of Paran.
9623
9624 {13:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {13:2} Send thou men,
9625 that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children
9626 of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every
9627 one a ruler among them. {13:3} And Moses by the commandment of the LORD
9628 sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men [were] heads of
9629 the children of Israel. {13:4} And these [were] their names: of the
9630 tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. {13:5} Of the tribe of
9631 Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. {13:6} Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb
9632 the son of Jephunneh. {13:7} Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of
9633 Joseph. {13:8} Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun. {13:9} Of
9634 the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. {13:10} Of the tribe of
9635 Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. {13:11} Of the tribe of Joseph,
9636 namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. {13:12} Of the
9637 tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. {13:13} Of the tribe of Asher,
9638 Sethur the son of Michael. {13:14} Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the
9639 son of Vophsi. {13:15} Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
9640 {13:16} These [are] the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out
9641 the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
9642
9643 {13:17} And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said
9644 unto them, Get you up this [way] southward, and go up into the
9645 mountain: {13:18} And see the land, what it [is;] and the people that
9646 dwelleth therein, whether they [be] strong or weak, few or many;
9647 {13:19} And what the land [is] that they dwell in, whether it [be] good
9648 or bad; and what cities [they be] that they dwell in, whether in tents,
9649 or in strong holds; {13:20} And what the land [is,] whether it [be] fat
9650 or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good
9651 courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time [was] the
9652 time of the firstripe grapes.
9653
9654 {13:21} So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness
9655 of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath. {13:22} And they ascended by
9656 the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the
9657 children of Anak, [were.] (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan
9658 in Egypt.) {13:23} And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down
9659 from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it
9660 between two upon a staff; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and
9661 of the figs. {13:24} The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of
9662 the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from
9663 thence. {13:25} And they returned from searching of the land after
9664 forty days.
9665
9666 {13:26} And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all
9667 the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of
9668 Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the
9669 congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land. {13:27} And they
9670 told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and
9671 surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this [is] the fruit of it.
9672 {13:28} Nevertheless the people [be] strong that dwell in the land, and
9673 the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and moreover we saw the
9674 children of Anak there. {13:29} The Amalekites dwell in the land of the
9675 south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in
9676 the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of
9677 Jordan. {13:30} And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said,
9678 Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome
9679 it. {13:31} But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to
9680 go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. {13:32} And
9681 they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto
9682 the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to
9683 search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all
9684 the people that we saw in it [are] men of a great stature. {13:33} And
9685 there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [which come] of the giants:
9686 and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their
9687 sight.
9688
9689 {14:1} And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried;
9690 and the people wept that night. {14:2} And all the children of Israel
9691 murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation
9692 said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or
9693 would God we had died in this wilderness! {14:3} And wherefore hath the
9694 LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives
9695 and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return
9696 into Egypt? {14:4} And they said one to another, Let us make a captain,
9697 and let us return into Egypt. {14:5} Then Moses and Aaron fell on their
9698 faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of
9699 Israel.
9700
9701 {14:6} And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
9702 [which were] of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: {14:7}
9703 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying,
9704 The land, which we passed through to search it, [is] an exceeding good
9705 land. {14:8} If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this
9706 land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. {14:9}
9707 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the
9708 land; for they [are] bread for us: their defence is departed from them,
9709 and the LORD [is] with us: fear them not. {14:10} But all the
9710 congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD
9711 appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children
9712 of Israel.
9713
9714 {14:11} And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people
9715 provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the
9716 signs which I have shewed among them? {14:12} I will smite them with
9717 the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater
9718 nation and mightier than they.
9719
9720 {14:13} And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear
9721 [it,] (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among
9722 them;) {14:14} And they will tell [it] to the inhabitants of this land:
9723 [for] they have heard that thou LORD [art] among this people, that thou
9724 LORD art seen face to face, and [that] thy cloud standeth over them,
9725 and [that] thou goest before them, by daytime in a pillar of a cloud,
9726 and in a pillar of fire by night.
9727
9728 {14:15} Now [if] thou shalt kill [all] this people as one man, then
9729 the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
9730 {14:16} Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the
9731 land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the
9732 wilderness. {14:17} And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord
9733 be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, {14:18} The LORD [is]
9734 longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and
9735 transgression, and by no means clearing [the guilty,] visiting the
9736 iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth
9737 [generation. ]{14:19} Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this
9738 people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast
9739 forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now. {14:20} And the LORD
9740 said, I have pardoned according to thy word: {14:21} But [as] truly
9741 [as] I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
9742 {14:22} Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my
9743 miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted
9744 me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; {14:23}
9745 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers,
9746 neither shall any of them that provoked me see it: {14:24} But my
9747 servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath
9748 followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went;
9749 and his seed shall possess it. {14:25} (Now the Amalekites and the
9750 Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into
9751 the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
9752
9753 {14:26} And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
9754 {14:27} How long [shall I bear with] this evil congregation, which
9755 murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of
9756 Israel, which they murmur against me. {14:28} Say unto them, [As truly
9757 as] I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I
9758 do to you: {14:29} Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all
9759 that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty
9760 years old and upward, which have murmured against me, {14:30} Doubtless
9761 ye shall not come into the land, [concerning] which I sware to make you
9762 dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of
9763 Nun. {14:31} But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them
9764 will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
9765 {14:32} But [as for] you, your carcases, they shall fall in this
9766 wilderness. {14:33} And your children shall wander in the wilderness
9767 forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in
9768 the wilderness. {14:34} After the number of the days in which ye
9769 searched the land, [even] forty days, each day for a year, shall ye
9770 bear your iniquities, [even] forty years, and ye shall know my breach
9771 of promise. {14:35} I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all
9772 this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this
9773 wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die. {14:36}
9774 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and
9775 made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a
9776 slander upon the land, {14:37} Even those men that did bring up the
9777 evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD. {14:38}
9778 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [which were]
9779 of the men that went to search the land, lived [still. ]{14:39} And
9780 Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the
9781 people mourned greatly.
9782
9783 {14:40} And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into
9784 the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we [be here,] and will go up unto
9785 the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned. {14:41} And
9786 Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD?
9787 but it shall not prosper. {14:42} Go not up, for the LORD [is] not
9788 among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies. {14:43} For the
9789 Amalekites and the Canaanites [are] there before you, and ye shall fall
9790 by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the
9791 LORD will not be with you. {14:44} But they presumed to go up unto the
9792 hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses,
9793 departed not out of the camp. {14:45} Then the Amalekites came down,
9794 and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and
9795 discomfited them, [even] unto Hormah.
9796
9797 {15:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {15:2} Speak unto the
9798 children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of
9799 your habitations, which I give unto you, {15:3} And will make an
9800 offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in
9801 performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts,
9802 to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:
9803 {15:4} Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a
9804 meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth [part]
9805 of an hin of oil. {15:5} And the fourth [part] of an hin of wine for a
9806 drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice,
9807 for one lamb. {15:6} Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare [for] a meat
9808 offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third [part] of an
9809 hin of oil. {15:7} And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third
9810 [part] of an hin of wine, [for] a sweet savour unto the LORD. {15:8}
9811 And when thou preparest a bullock [for] a burnt offering, or [for] a
9812 sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD: {15:9}
9813 Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals
9814 of flour mingled with half an hin of oil. {15:10} And thou shalt bring
9815 for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire,
9816 of a sweet savour unto the LORD. {15:11} Thus shall it be done for one
9817 bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid. {15:12} According to
9818 the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according
9819 to their number. {15:13} All that are born of the country shall do
9820 these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire,
9821 of a sweet savour unto the LORD. {15:14} And if a stranger sojourn with
9822 you, or whosoever [be] among you in your generations, and will offer an
9823 offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he
9824 shall do. {15:15} One ordinance [shall be both] for you of the
9825 congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth [with you,] an
9826 ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye [are,] so shall the
9827 stranger be before the LORD. {15:16} One law and one manner shall be
9828 for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
9829
9830 {15:17} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {15:18} Speak unto
9831 the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land
9832 whither I bring you, {15:19} Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the
9833 bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.
9834 {15:20} Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough [for] an
9835 heave offering: as [ye do] the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so
9836 shall ye heave it. {15:21} Of the first of your dough ye shall give
9837 unto the LORD an heave offering in your generations.
9838
9839 {15:22} And if ye have erred, and not observed all these
9840 commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses, {15:23} [Even all]
9841 that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day
9842 that the LORD commanded [Moses,] and henceforward among your
9843 generations; {15:24} Then it shall be, if [ought] be committed by
9844 ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the
9845 congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a
9846 sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink
9847 offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin
9848 offering. {15:25} And the priest shall make an atonement for all the
9849 congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them;
9850 for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice
9851 made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for
9852 their ignorance: {15:26} And it shall be forgiven all the congregation
9853 of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them;
9854 seeing all the people [were] in ignorance.
9855
9856 {15:27} And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a
9857 she goat of the first year for a sin offering. {15:28} And the priest
9858 shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he
9859 sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and
9860 it shall be forgiven him. {15:29} Ye shall have one law for him that
9861 sinneth through ignorance, [both for] him that is born among the
9862 children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
9863
9864 {15:30} But the soul that doeth [ought] presumptuously, [whether he
9865 be] born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and
9866 that soul shall be cut off from among his people. {15:31} Because he
9867 hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment,
9868 that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity [shall be] upon him.
9869
9870 {15:32} And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness,
9871 they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. {15:33} And
9872 they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron,
9873 and unto all the congregation. {15:34} And they put him in ward,
9874 because it was not declared what should be done to him. {15:35} And the
9875 LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the
9876 congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. {15:36} And
9877 all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with
9878 stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
9879
9880 {15:37} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {15:38} Speak unto
9881 the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the
9882 borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they
9883 put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue: {15:39} And it
9884 shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember
9885 all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not
9886 after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a
9887 whoring: {15:40} That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and
9888 be holy unto your God. {15:41} I [am] the LORD your God, which brought
9889 you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the LORD your God.
9890
9891 {16:1} Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of
9892 Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of
9893 Peleth, sons of Reuben, took [men: ]{16:2} And they rose up before
9894 Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty
9895 princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:
9896 {16:3} And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against
9897 Aaron, and said unto them, [Ye take] too much upon you, seeing all the
9898 congregation [are] holy, every one of them, and the LORD [is] among
9899 them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of
9900 the LORD? {16:4} And when Moses heard [it,] he fell upon his face:
9901 {16:5} And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even
9902 to morrow the LORD will shew who [are] his, and [who is] holy; and will
9903 cause [him] to come near unto him: even [him] whom he hath chosen will
9904 he cause to come near unto him. {16:6} This do; Take you censers,
9905 Korah, and all his company; {16:7} And put fire therein, and put
9906 incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be [that] the
9907 man whom the LORD doth choose, he [shall be] holy: [ye take] too much
9908 upon you, ye sons of Levi. {16:8} And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I
9909 pray you, ye sons of Levi: {16:9} [Seemeth it but] a small thing unto
9910 you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of
9911 Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the
9912 tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to
9913 minister unto them? {16:10} And he hath brought thee near [to him,] and
9914 all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood
9915 also? {16:11} For which cause [both] thou and all thy company [are]
9916 gathered together against the LORD: and what [is] Aaron, that ye murmur
9917 against him?
9918
9919 {16:12} And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab:
9920 which said, We will not come up: {16:13} [Is it] a small thing that
9921 thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey,
9922 to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a
9923 prince over us? {16:14} Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land
9924 that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and
9925 vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come
9926 up. {16:15} And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect
9927 not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither
9928 have I hurt one of them. {16:16} And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and
9929 all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
9930 {16:17} And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and
9931 bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty
9932 censers; thou also, and Aaron, each [of you] his censer. {16:18} And
9933 they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense
9934 thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
9935 with Moses and Aaron. {16:19} And Korah gathered all the congregation
9936 against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and
9937 the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation. {16:20} And
9938 the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, {16:21} Separate
9939 yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a
9940 moment. {16:22} And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the
9941 God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be
9942 wroth with all the congregation?
9943
9944 {16:23} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {16:24} Speak unto
9945 the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of
9946 Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. {16:25} And Moses rose up and went unto
9947 Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. {16:26} And
9948 he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the
9949 tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be
9950 consumed in all their sins. {16:27} So they gat up from the tabernacle
9951 of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came
9952 out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their
9953 sons, and their little children. {16:28} And Moses said, Hereby ye
9954 shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for [I
9955 have] not [done them] of mine own mind. {16:29} If these men die the
9956 common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of
9957 all men; [then] the LORD hath not sent me. {16:30} But if the LORD make
9958 a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with
9959 all that [appertain] unto them, and they go down quick into the pit;
9960 then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.
9961
9962 {16:31} And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all
9963 these words, that the ground clave asunder that [was] under them:
9964 {16:32} And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and
9965 their houses, and all the men that [appertained] unto Korah, and all
9966 [their] goods. {16:33} They, and all that [appertained] to them, went
9967 down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they
9968 perished from among the congregation. {16:34} And all Israel that
9969 [were] round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest
9970 the earth swallow us up [also. ]{16:35} And there came out a fire from
9971 the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered
9972 incense.
9973
9974 {16:36} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {16:37} Speak unto
9975 Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of
9976 the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.
9977 {16:38} The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them
9978 make them broad plates [for] a covering of the altar: for they offered
9979 them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a
9980 sign unto the children of Israel. {16:39} And Eleazar the priest took
9981 the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and
9982 they were made broad [plates for] a covering of the altar: {16:40} [To
9983 be] a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is
9984 not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD;
9985 that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by
9986 the hand of Moses.
9987
9988 {16:41} But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of
9989 Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed
9990 the people of the LORD. {16:42} And it came to pass, when the
9991 congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they
9992 looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the
9993 cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared. {16:43} And Moses
9994 and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
9995
9996 {16:44} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {16:45} Get you up
9997 from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment.
9998 And they fell upon their faces.
9999
10000 {16:46} And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire
10001 therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the
10002 congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone
10003 out from the LORD; the plague is begun. {16:47} And Aaron took as Moses
10004 commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the
10005 plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an
10006 atonement for the people. {16:48} And he stood between the dead and the
10007 living; and the plague was stayed. {16:49} Now they that died in the
10008 plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died
10009 about the matter of Korah. {16:50} And Aaron returned unto Moses unto
10010 the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was
10011 stayed.
10012
10013 {17:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {17:2} Speak unto the
10014 children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to
10015 the house of [their] fathers, of all their princes according to the
10016 house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon
10017 his rod. {17:3} And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi:
10018 for one rod [shall be] for the head of the house of their fathers.
10019 {17:4} And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation
10020 before the testimony, where I will meet with you. {17:5} And it shall
10021 come to pass, [that] the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom:
10022 and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of
10023 Israel, whereby they murmur against you.
10024
10025 {17:6} And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of
10026 their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to
10027 their fathers' houses, [even] twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron [was]
10028 among their rods. {17:7} And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in
10029 the tabernacle of witness. {17:8} And it came to pass, that on the
10030 morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod
10031 of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and
10032 bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. {17:9} And Moses brought out all
10033 the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they
10034 looked, and took every man his rod.
10035
10036 {17:10} And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before
10037 the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou
10038 shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
10039 {17:11} And Moses did [so:] as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
10040 {17:12} And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we
10041 die, we perish, we all perish. {17:13} Whosoever cometh any thing near
10042 unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with
10043 dying?
10044
10045 {18:1} And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy
10046 father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and
10047 thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
10048 {18:2} And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy
10049 father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and
10050 minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee [shall minister]
10051 before the tabernacle of witness. {18:3} And they shall keep thy
10052 charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come
10053 nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor
10054 ye also, die. {18:4} And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the
10055 charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of
10056 the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you. {18:5} And
10057 ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar:
10058 that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel. {18:6} And
10059 I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the
10060 children of Israel: to you [they are] given [as] a gift for the LORD,
10061 to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. {18:7}
10062 Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office
10063 for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve:
10064 I have given your priest's office [unto you as] a service of gift: and
10065 the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
10066
10067 {18:8} And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee
10068 the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the
10069 children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the
10070 anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever. {18:9} This shall
10071 be thine of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every
10072 oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin
10073 offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they
10074 shall render unto me, [shall be] most holy for thee and for thy sons.
10075 {18:10} In the most holy [place] shalt thou eat it; every male shall
10076 eat it: it shall be holy unto thee. {18:11} And this [is] thine; the
10077 heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the
10078 children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to
10079 thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean
10080 in thy house shall eat of it. {18:12} All the best of the oil, and all
10081 the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which
10082 they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee. {18:13} [And]
10083 whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the
10084 LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat
10085 [of] it. {18:14} Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine. {18:15}
10086 Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto
10087 the LORD, [whether it be] of men or beasts, shall be thine:
10088 nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the
10089 firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem. {18:16} And those that
10090 are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to
10091 thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of
10092 the sanctuary, which [is] twenty gerahs. {18:17} But the firstling of a
10093 cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou
10094 shalt not redeem; they [are] holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon
10095 the altar, and shalt burn their fat [for] an offering made by fire, for
10096 a sweet savour unto the LORD. {18:18} And the flesh of them shall be
10097 thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine. {18:19}
10098 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of
10099 Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy
10100 daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt
10101 for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
10102
10103 {18:20} And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no
10104 inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them:
10105 I [am] thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
10106 {18:21} And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in
10107 Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, [even]
10108 the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. {18:22} Neither must
10109 the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the
10110 congregation, lest they bear sin, and die. {18:23} But the Levites
10111 shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they
10112 shall bear their iniquity: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout
10113 your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no
10114 inheritance. {18:24} But the tithes of the children of Israel, which
10115 they offer [as] an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the
10116 Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children
10117 of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
10118
10119 {18:25} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {18:26} Thus speak
10120 unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of
10121 Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your
10122 inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the
10123 LORD, [even] a tenth [part] of the tithe. {18:27} And [this] your heave
10124 offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though [it were] the corn of
10125 the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress. {18:28} Thus
10126 ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes,
10127 which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof
10128 the LORD'S heave offering to Aaron the priest. {18:29} Out of all your
10129 gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best
10130 thereof, [even] the hallowed part thereof out of it. {18:30} Therefore
10131 thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it,
10132 then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the
10133 threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress. {18:31} And ye
10134 shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it [is] your
10135 reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation. {18:32}
10136 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it
10137 the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the
10138 children of Israel, lest ye die.
10139
10140 {19:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, {19:2}
10141 This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded,
10142 saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red
10143 heifer without spot, wherein [is] no blemish, [and] upon which never
10144 came yoke: {19:3} And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that
10145 he may bring her forth without the camp, and [one] shall slay her
10146 before his face: {19:4} And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood
10147 with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the
10148 tabernacle of the congregation seven times: {19:5} And [one] shall burn
10149 the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with
10150 her dung, shall he burn: {19:6} And the priest shall take cedar wood,
10151 and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast [it] into the midst of the burning of
10152 the heifer. {19:7} Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall
10153 bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp,
10154 and the priest shall be unclean until the even. {19:8} And he that
10155 burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in
10156 water, and shall be unclean until the even. {19:9} And a man [that is]
10157 clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay [them] up
10158 without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the
10159 congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it
10160 [is] a purification for sin. {19:10} And he that gathereth the ashes of
10161 the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and
10162 it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that
10163 sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
10164
10165 {19:11} He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean
10166 seven days. {19:12} He shall purify himself with it on the third day,
10167 and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself
10168 the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean. {19:13}
10169 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth
10170 not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall
10171 be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not
10172 sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness [is] yet upon
10173 him. {19:14} This [is] the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that
10174 come into the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, shall be unclean
10175 seven days. {19:15} And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound
10176 upon it, [is] unclean. {19:16} And whosoever toucheth one that is slain
10177 with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or
10178 a grave, shall be unclean seven days. {19:17} And for an unclean
10179 [person] they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of
10180 purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a
10181 vessel: {19:18} And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip [it] in
10182 the water, and sprinkle [it] upon the tent, and upon all the vessels,
10183 and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone,
10184 or one slain, or one dead, or a grave: {19:19} And the clean [person]
10185 shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh
10186 day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his
10187 clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
10188 {19:20} But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify
10189 himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation,
10190 because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of
10191 separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he [is] unclean. {19:21}
10192 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth
10193 the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth
10194 the water of separation shall be unclean until even. {19:22} And
10195 whatsoever the unclean [person] toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul
10196 that toucheth [it] shall be unclean until even.
10197
10198 {20:1} Then came the children of Israel, [even] the whole
10199 congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people
10200 abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there. {20:2}
10201 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered
10202 themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. {20:3} And the
10203 people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died
10204 when our brethren died before the LORD! {20:4} And why have ye brought
10205 up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our
10206 cattle should die there? {20:5} And wherefore have ye made us to come
10207 up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it [is] no place
10208 of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither [is]
10209 there any water to drink. {20:6} And Moses and Aaron went from the
10210 presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the
10211 congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD
10212 appeared unto them.
10213
10214 {20:7} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {20:8} Take the rod,
10215 and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and
10216 speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his
10217 water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so
10218 thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink. {20:9} And
10219 Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him. {20:10}
10220 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock,
10221 and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out
10222 of this rock? {20:11} And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he
10223 smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the
10224 congregation drank, and their beasts [also.]
10225
10226 {20:12} And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed
10227 me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore
10228 ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given
10229 them. {20:13} This [is] the water of Meribah; because the children of
10230 Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
10231
10232 {20:14} And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom,
10233 Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath
10234 befallen us: {20:15} How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have
10235 dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our
10236 fathers: {20:16} And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice,
10237 and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold,
10238 we [are] in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border: {20:17} Let
10239 us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the
10240 fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink [of] the water
10241 of the wells: we will go by the king's [high] way, we will not turn to
10242 the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
10243 {20:18} And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come
10244 out against thee with the sword. {20:19} And the children of Israel
10245 said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink
10246 of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without [doing] any
10247 thing [else,] go through on my feet. {20:20} And he said, Thou shalt
10248 not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and
10249 with a strong hand. {20:21} Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage
10250 through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
10251
10252 {20:22} And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation,
10253 journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor. {20:23} And the LORD
10254 spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of
10255 Edom, saying, {20:24} Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he
10256 shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of
10257 Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.
10258 {20:25} Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount
10259 Hor: {20:26} And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar
10260 his son: and Aaron shall be gathered [unto his people,] and shall die
10261 there. {20:27} And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up
10262 into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. {20:28} And Moses
10263 stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and
10264 Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came
10265 down from the mount. {20:29} And when all the congregation saw that
10266 Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, [even] all the
10267 house of Israel.
10268
10269 {21:1} And [when] king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south,
10270 heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought
10271 against Israel, and took [some] of them prisoners. {21:2} And Israel
10272 vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this
10273 people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities. {21:3}
10274 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the
10275 Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he
10276 called the name of the place Hormah.
10277
10278 {21:4} And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea,
10279 to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much
10280 discouraged because of the way. {21:5} And the people spake against
10281 God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to
10282 die in the wilderness? for [there is] no bread, neither [is there any]
10283 water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. {21:6} And the LORD sent
10284 fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much
10285 people of Israel died.
10286
10287 {21:7} Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned,
10288 for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the
10289 LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the
10290 people. {21:8} And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent,
10291 and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that
10292 is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. {21:9} And Moses made a
10293 serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if
10294 a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he
10295 lived.
10296
10297 {21:10} And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in
10298 Oboth. {21:11} And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at
10299 Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which [is] before Moab, toward the
10300 sunrising.
10301
10302 {21:12} From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of
10303 Zared. {21:13} From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side
10304 of Arnon, which [is] in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of
10305 the Amorites: for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and the
10306 Amorites. {21:14} Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the
10307 LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon, {21:15}
10308 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar,
10309 and lieth upon the border of Moab. {21:16} And from thence [they went]
10310 to Beer: that [is] the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather
10311 the people together, and I will give them water.
10312
10313 {21:17} Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto
10314 it: {21:18} The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people
10315 digged it, by [the direction of] the lawgiver, with their staves. And
10316 from the wilderness [they went] to Mattanah: {21:19} And from Mattanah
10317 to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth: {21:20} And from Bamoth [in]
10318 the valley, that [is] in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah,
10319 which looketh toward Jeshimon.
10320
10321 {21:21} And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites,
10322 saying, {21:22} Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the
10323 fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink [of] the waters of the
10324 well: [but] we will go along by the king's [high] way, until we be past
10325 thy borders. {21:23} And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through
10326 his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out
10327 against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought
10328 against Israel. {21:24} And Israel smote him with the edge of the
10329 sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the
10330 children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon [was]
10331 strong. {21:25} And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in
10332 all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages
10333 thereof. {21:26} For Heshbon [was] the city of Sihon the king of the
10334 Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all
10335 his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon. {21:27} Wherefore they that
10336 speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be
10337 built and prepared: {21:28} For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a
10338 flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, [and] the
10339 lords of the high places of Arnon. {21:29} Woe to thee, Moab! thou art
10340 undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and
10341 his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites. {21:30}
10342 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have
10343 laid them waste even unto Nophah, which [reacheth] unto Medeba.
10344
10345 {21:31} Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites. {21:32} And
10346 Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and
10347 drove out the Amorites that [were] there.
10348
10349 {21:33} And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the
10350 king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the
10351 battle at Edrei. {21:34} And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not:
10352 for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his
10353 land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the
10354 Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. {21:35} So they smote him, and his
10355 sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they
10356 possessed his land.
10357
10358 {22:1} And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the
10359 plains of Moab on this side Jordan [by] Jericho.
10360
10361 {22:2} And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to
10362 the Amorites. {22:3} And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because
10363 they [were] many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of
10364 Israel. {22:4} And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this
10365 company lick up all [that are] round about us, as the ox licketh up the
10366 grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor [was] king of the
10367 Moabites at that time. {22:5} He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam
10368 the son of Beor to Pethor, which [is] by the river of the land of the
10369 children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people
10370 come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they
10371 abide over against me: {22:6} Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me
10372 this people; for they [are] too mighty for me: peradventure I shall
10373 prevail, [that] we may smite them, and [that] I may drive them out of
10374 the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest [is] blessed, and he
10375 whom thou cursest is cursed. {22:7} And the elders of Moab and the
10376 elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand;
10377 and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.
10378 {22:8} And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring
10379 you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of
10380 Moab abode with Balaam. {22:9} And God came unto Balaam, and said, What
10381 men [are] these with thee? {22:10} And Balaam said unto God, Balak the
10382 son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, [saying, ]{22:11}
10383 Behold, [there is] a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face
10384 of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to
10385 overcome them, and drive them out. {22:12} And God said unto Balaam,
10386 Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they
10387 [are] blessed. {22:13} And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto
10388 the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to
10389 give me leave to go with you. {22:14} And the princes of Moab rose up,
10390 and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
10391
10392 {22:15} And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable
10393 than they. {22:16} And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith
10394 Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from
10395 coming unto me: {22:17} For I will promote thee unto very great honour,
10396 and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray
10397 thee, curse me this people. {22:18} And Balaam answered and said unto
10398 the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver
10399 and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or
10400 more. {22:19} Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night,
10401 that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more. {22:20} And God
10402 came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call
10403 thee, rise up, [and] go with them; but yet the word which I shall say
10404 unto thee, that shalt thou do. {22:21} And Balaam rose up in the
10405 morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
10406
10407 {22:22} And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel
10408 of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was
10409 riding upon his ass, and his two servants [were] with him. {22:23} And
10410 the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword
10411 drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went
10412 into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
10413 {22:24} But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a
10414 wall [being] on this side, and a wall on that side. {22:25} And when
10415 the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall,
10416 and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
10417 {22:26} And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow
10418 place, where [was] no way to turn either to the right hand or to the
10419 left. {22:27} And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down
10420 under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with
10421 a staff. {22:28} And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said
10422 unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me
10423 these three times? {22:29} And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou
10424 hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would
10425 I kill thee. {22:30} And the ass said unto Balaam, [Am] not I thine
10426 ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since [I was] thine unto this
10427 day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay. {22:31} Then
10428 the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD
10429 standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down
10430 his head, and fell flat on his face. {22:32} And the angel of the LORD
10431 said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times?
10432 behold, I went out to withstand thee, because [thy] way is perverse
10433 before me: {22:33} And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three
10434 times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee,
10435 and saved her alive. {22:34} And Balaam said unto the angel of the
10436 LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way
10437 against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back
10438 again. {22:35} And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the
10439 men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt
10440 speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
10441
10442 {22:36} And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to
10443 meet him unto a city of Moab, which [is] in the border of Arnon, which
10444 [is] in the utmost coast. {22:37} And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not
10445 earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto
10446 me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour? {22:38} And Balaam
10447 said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all
10448 to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I
10449 speak. {22:39} And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto
10450 Kirjath-huzoth. {22:40} And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to
10451 Balaam, and to the princes that [were] with him. {22:41} And it came to
10452 pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the
10453 high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost [part] of the
10454 people.
10455
10456 {23:1} And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and
10457 prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams. {23:2} And Balak did as
10458 Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on [every] altar a
10459 bullock and a ram. {23:3} And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy
10460 burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet
10461 me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an
10462 high place. {23:4} And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have
10463 prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon [every] altar a bullock
10464 and a ram. {23:5} And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said,
10465 Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. {23:6} And he returned
10466 unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the
10467 princes of Moab. {23:7} And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the
10468 king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the
10469 east, [saying,] Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel. {23:8} How
10470 shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, [whom]
10471 the LORD hath not defied? {23:9} For from the top of the rocks I see
10472 him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone,
10473 and shall not be reckoned among the nations. {23:10} Who can count the
10474 dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth [part] of Israel? Let me
10475 die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
10476 {23:11} And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took
10477 thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed [them]
10478 altogether. {23:12} And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to
10479 speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth? {23:13} And Balak said
10480 unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence
10481 thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and
10482 shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
10483
10484 {23:14} And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of
10485 Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on
10486 [every] altar. {23:15} And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt
10487 offering, while I meet [the LORD] yonder. {23:16} And the LORD met
10488 Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and
10489 say thus. {23:17} And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his
10490 burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto
10491 him, What hath the LORD spoken? {23:18} And he took up his parable, and
10492 said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
10493 {23:19} God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man,
10494 that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it?] or hath
10495 he spoken, and shall he not make it good? {23:20} Behold, I have
10496 received [commandment] to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot
10497 reverse it. {23:21} He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath
10498 he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God [is] with him, and the
10499 shout of a king [is] among them. {23:22} God brought them out of Egypt;
10500 he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. {23:23} Surely [there
10501 is] no enchantment against Jacob, neither [is there] any divination
10502 against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of
10503 Israel, What hath God wrought! {23:24} Behold, the people shall rise up
10504 as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie
10505 down until he eat [of] the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
10506
10507 {23:25} And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor
10508 bless them at all. {23:26} But Balaam answered and said unto Balak,
10509 Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
10510
10511 {23:27} And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring
10512 thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou
10513 mayest curse me them from thence. {23:28} And Balak brought Balaam unto
10514 the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon. {23:29} And Balaam said
10515 unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven
10516 bullocks and seven rams. {23:30} And Balak did as Balaam had said, and
10517 offered a bullock and a ram on [every] altar.
10518
10519 {24:1} And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel,
10520 he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set
10521 his face toward the wilderness. {24:2} And Balaam lifted up his eyes,
10522 and he saw Israel abiding [in his tents] according to their tribes; and
10523 the spirit of God came upon him. {24:3} And he took up his parable, and
10524 said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open
10525 hath said: {24:4} He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw
10526 the vision of the Almighty, falling [into a trance,] but having his
10527 eyes open: {24:5} How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, [and] thy
10528 tabernacles, O Israel! {24:6} As the valleys are they spread forth, as
10529 gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD
10530 hath planted, [and] as cedar trees beside the waters. {24:7} He shall
10531 pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed [shall be] in many
10532 waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall
10533 be exalted. {24:8} God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it
10534 were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his
10535 enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce [them] through with
10536 his arrows. {24:9} He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great
10537 lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed [is] he that blesseth thee, and
10538 cursed is he that curseth thee.
10539
10540 {24:10} And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote
10541 his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse
10542 mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed [them] these
10543 three times. {24:11} Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to
10544 promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back
10545 from honour. {24:12} And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to
10546 thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying, {24:13} If Balak
10547 would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the
10548 commandment of the LORD, to do [either] good or bad of mine own mind;
10549 [but] what the LORD saith, that will I speak? {24:14} And now, behold,
10550 I go unto my people: come [therefore, and] I will advertise thee what
10551 this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
10552
10553 {24:15} And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor
10554 hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: {24:16} He hath
10555 said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most
10556 High, [which] saw the vision of the Almighty, falling [into a trance,]
10557 but having his eyes open: {24:17} I shall see him, but not now: I shall
10558 behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a
10559 Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab,
10560 and destroy all the children of Sheth. {24:18} And Edom shall be a
10561 possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel
10562 shall do valiantly. {24:19} Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have
10563 dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
10564
10565 {24:20} And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and
10566 said, Amalek [was] the first of the nations; but his latter end [shall
10567 be] that he perish for ever. {24:21} And he looked on the Kenites, and
10568 took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou
10569 puttest thy nest in a rock. {24:22} Nevertheless the Kenite shall be
10570 wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive. {24:23} And he took
10571 up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
10572 {24:24} And ships [shall come] from the coast of Chittim, and shall
10573 afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for
10574 ever. {24:25} And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place:
10575 and Balak also went his way.
10576
10577 {25:1} And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit
10578 whoredom with the daughters of Moab. {25:2} And they called the people
10579 unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed
10580 down to their gods. {25:3} And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor:
10581 and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. {25:4} And the
10582 LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them
10583 up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD
10584 may be turned away from Israel. {25:5} And Moses said unto the judges
10585 of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal-peor.
10586
10587 {25:6} And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought
10588 unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the
10589 sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who [were]
10590 weeping [before] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. {25:7}
10591 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw
10592 [it,] he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his
10593 hand; {25:8} And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and
10594 thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through
10595 her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. {25:9}
10596 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10597
10598 {25:10} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {25:11} Phinehas, the
10599 son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away
10600 from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among
10601 them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
10602 {25:12} Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
10603 {25:13} And he shall have it, and his seed after him, [even] the
10604 covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his
10605 God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel. {25:14} Now the
10606 name of the Israelite that was slain, [even] that was slain with the
10607 Midianitish woman, [was] Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief
10608 house among the Simeonites. {25:15} And the name of the Midianitish
10609 woman that was slain [was] Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he [was] head
10610 over a people, [and] of a chief house in Midian.
10611
10612 {25:16} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {25:17} Vex the
10613 Midianites, and smite them: {25:18} For they vex you with their wiles,
10614 wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the
10615 matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister,
10616 which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.
10617
10618 {26:1} And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake
10619 unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, {26:2}
10620 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from
10621 twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house, all that
10622 are able to go to war in Israel. {26:3} And Moses and Eleazar the
10623 priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho,
10624 saying, {26:4} [Take the sum of the people,] from twenty years old and
10625 upward; as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which
10626 went forth out of the land of Egypt.

10637 in the company of Korah, when they strove against the LORD: {26:10} And
10638 the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah,
10639 when that company died, what time the fire devoured two hundred and
10640 fifty men: and they became a sign. {26:11} Notwithstanding the children

10738 the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of
10739 names. {26:54} To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few
10740 thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his
10741 inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him.
10742 {26:55} Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to
10743 the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit. {26:56}
10744 According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided between
10745 many and few.

10756 Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. {26:61} And
10757 Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before the LORD.
10758 {26:62} And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three
10759 thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not
10760 numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance
10761 given them among the children of Israel.
10762
10763 {26:63} These [are] they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the
10764 priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by
10765 Jordan [near] Jericho. {26:64} But among these there was not a man of
10766 them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the
10767 children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. {26:65} For the LORD had
10768 said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was
10769 not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the
10770 son of Nun.
10771
10772 {27:1} Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the
10773 son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families
10774 of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his
10775 daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah. {27:2} And
10776 they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the
10777 princes and all the congregation, [by] the door of the tabernacle of
10778 the congregation, saying, {27:3} Our father died in the wilderness, and
10779 he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together
10780 against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and
10781 had no sons. {27:4} Why should the name of our father be done away from
10782 among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us [therefore] a
10783 possession among the brethren of our father. {27:5} And Moses brought
10784 their cause before the LORD.
10785
10786 {27:6} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {27:7} The daughters
10787 of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of
10788 an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the
10789 inheritance of their father to pass unto them. {27:8} And thou shalt
10790 speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no
10791 son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
10792 {27:9} And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance
10793 unto his brethren. {27:10} And if he have no brethren, then ye shall
10794 give his inheritance unto his father's brethren. {27:11} And if his
10795 father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his
10796 kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and
10797 it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the
10798 LORD commanded Moses.
10799
10800 {27:12} And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount
10801 Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of
10802 Israel. {27:13} And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered
10803 unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered. {27:14} For ye
10804 rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of
10805 the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that
10806 [is] the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
10807
10808 {27:15} And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying, {27:16} Let the LORD,
10809 the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
10810 {27:17} Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them,
10811 and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the
10812 congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
10813
10814 {27:18} And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of
10815 Nun, a man in whom [is] the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
10816 {27:19} And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
10817 congregation; and give him a charge in their sight. {27:20} And thou
10818 shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of
10819 the children of Israel may be obedient. {27:21} And he shall stand
10820 before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask [counsel] for him after the
10821 judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at
10822 his word they shall come in, [both] he, and all the children of Israel
10823 with him, even all the congregation. {27:22} And Moses did as the LORD
10824 commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the
10825 priest, and before all the congregation: {27:23} And he laid his hands
10826 upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of
10827 Moses.
10828
10829 {28:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {28:2} Command the
10830 children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, [and] my bread for
10831 my sacrifices made by fire, [for] a sweet savour unto me, shall ye
10832 observe to offer unto me in their due season. {28:3} And thou shalt say
10833 unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto
10834 the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, [for] a
10835 continual burnt offering. {28:4} The one lamb shalt thou offer in the
10836 morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even; {28:5} And a
10837 tenth [part] of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the
10838 fourth [part] of an hin of beaten oil. {28:6} [It is] a continual burnt
10839 offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a
10840 sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD. {28:7} And the drink offering
10841 thereof [shall be] the fourth [part] of an hin for the one lamb: in the
10842 holy [place] shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the
10843 LORD [for] a drink offering. {28:8} And the other lamb shalt thou offer
10844 at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering
10845 thereof, thou shalt offer [it,] a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet
10846 savour unto the LORD.
10847
10848 {28:9} And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without
10849 spot, and two tenth deals of flour [for] a meat offering, mingled with
10850 oil, and the drink offering thereof: {28:10} [This is] the burnt
10851 offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his
10852 drink offering.
10853
10854 {28:11} And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt
10855 offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of
10856 the first year without spot; {28:12} And three tenth deals of flour
10857 [for] a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth
10858 deals of flour [for] a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one ram;
10859 {28:13} And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil [for] a meat
10860 offering unto one lamb; [for] a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a
10861 sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD. {28:14} And their drink offerings
10862 shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock, and the third [part] of an
10863 hin unto a ram, and a fourth [part] of an hin unto a lamb: this [is]
10864 the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.
10865 {28:15} And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall
10866 be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink
10867 offering. {28:16} And in the fourteenth day of the first month [is] the
10868 passover of the LORD. {28:17} And in the fifteenth day of this month
10869 [is] the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. {28:18} In
10870 the first day [shall be] an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of
10871 servile work [therein: ]{28:19} But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by
10872 fire [for] a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one
10873 ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be unto you without
10874 blemish: {28:20} And their meat offering [shall be of] flour mingled
10875 with oil: three tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth
10876 deals for a ram; {28:21} A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for
10877 every lamb, throughout the seven lambs: {28:22} And one goat [for] a
10878 sin offering, to make an atonement for you. {28:23} Ye shall offer
10879 these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which [is] for a
10880 continual burnt offering. {28:24} After this manner ye shall offer
10881 daily, throughout the seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by
10882 fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: it shall be offered beside the
10883 continual burnt offering, and his drink offering. {28:25} And on the
10884 seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile
10885 work.
10886
10887 {28:26} Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat
10888 offering unto the LORD, after your weeks [be out,] ye shall have an
10889 holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: {28:27} But ye shall
10890 offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD; two young
10891 bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year; {28:28} And their
10892 meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto one
10893 bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram, {28:29} A several tenth deal
10894 unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs; {28:30} [And] one kid of the
10895 goats, to make an atonement for you. {28:31} Ye shall offer [them]
10896 beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, (they shall
10897 be unto you without blemish) and their drink offerings.
10898
10899 {29:1} And in the seventh month, on the first [day] of the month, ye
10900 shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a
10901 day of blowing the trumpets unto you. {29:2} And ye shall offer a burnt
10902 offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD; one young bullock, one ram,
10903 [and] seven lambs of the first year without blemish: {29:3} And their
10904 meat offering [shall be of] flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals
10905 for a bullock, [and] two tenth deals for a ram, {29:4} And one tenth
10906 deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs: {29:5} And one kid of
10907 the goats [for] a sin offering, to make an atonement for you: {29:6}

10909 daily burnt offering, and his meat offering, and their drink offerings,
10910 according unto their manner, for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by
10911 fire unto the LORD.
10912
10913 {29:7} And ye shall have on the tenth [day] of this seventh month an
10914 holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any
10915 work [therein: ]{29:8} But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the
10916 LORD [for] a sweet savour; one young bullock, one ram, [and] seven
10917 lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish: {29:9}
10918 And their meat offering [shall be of] flour mingled with oil, three
10919 tenth deals to a bullock, [and] two tenth deals to one ram, {29:10} A
10920 several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs: {29:11}
10921 One kid of the goats [for] a sin offering; beside the sin offering of
10922 atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of
10923 it, and their drink offerings.
10924
10925 {29:12} And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have
10926 an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a
10927 feast unto the LORD seven days: {29:13} And ye shall offer a burnt
10928 offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD;
10929 thirteen young bullocks, two rams, [and] fourteen lambs of the first
10930 year; they shall be without blemish: {29:14} And their meat offering
10931 [shall be of] flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto every
10932 bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals to each ram of the
10933 two rams, {29:15} And a several tenth deal to each lamb of the fourteen
10934 lambs: {29:16} And one kid of the goats [for] a sin offering; beside
10935 the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
10936
10937 {29:17} And on the second day [ye shall offer] twelve young
10938 bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without spot:
10939 {29:18} And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the
10940 bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, [shall be] according to
10941 their number, after the manner: {29:19} And one kid of the goats [for]
10942 a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and the meat
10943 offering thereof, and their drink offerings.
10944
10945 {29:20} And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen
10946 lambs of the first year without blemish; {29:21} And their meat
10947 offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and
10948 for the lambs, [shall be] according to their number, after the manner:
10949 {29:22} And one goat [for] a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
10950 offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
10951
10952 {29:23} And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, [and] fourteen
10953 lambs of the first year without blemish: {29:24} Their meat offering
10954 and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the
10955 lambs, [shall be] according to their number, after the manner: {29:25}
10956 And one kid of the goats [for] a sin offering; beside the continual
10957 burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
10958
10959 {29:26} And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, [and] fourteen
10960 lambs of the first year without spot: {29:27} And their meat offering
10961 and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the
10962 lambs, [shall be] according to their number, after the manner: {29:28}
10963 And one goat [for] a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering,
10964 and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
10965
10966 {29:29} And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, [and]
10967 fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish: {29:30} And their
10968 meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams,
10969 and for the lambs, [shall be] according to their number, after the
10970 manner: {29:31} And one goat [for] a sin offering; beside the continual
10971 burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
10972
10973 {29:32} And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, [and]
10974 fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish: {29:33} And their
10975 meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams,
10976 and for the lambs, [shall be] according to their number, after the
10977 manner: {29:34} And one goat [for] a sin offering; beside the continual
10978 burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
10979
10980 {29:35} On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall
10981 do no servile work [therein: ]{29:36} But ye shall offer a burnt
10982 offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:
10983 one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of the first year without blemish:
10984 {29:37} Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullock,
10985 for the ram, and for the lambs, [shall be] according to their number,
10986 after the manner: {29:38} And one goat [for] a sin offering; beside the
10987 continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink
10988 offering. {29:39} These [things] ye shall do unto the LORD in your set
10989 feasts, beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt
10990 offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your drink offerings,
10991 and for your peace offerings. {29:40} And Moses told the children of
10992 Israel according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.
10993
10994 {30:1} And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the
10995 children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath
10996 commanded. {30:2} If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to
10997 bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do
10998 according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth. {30:3} If a woman
10999 also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind [herself] by a bond, [being] in
11000 her father's house in her youth; {30:4} And her father hear her vow,
11001 and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall
11002 hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond
11003 wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. {30:5} But if her father
11004 disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her
11005 bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD
11006 shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her. {30:6} And if she
11007 had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her
11008 lips, wherewith she bound her soul; {30:7} And her husband heard [it,]
11009 and held his peace at her in the day that he heard [it:] then her vows
11010 shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
11011 {30:8} But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard [it;]
11012 then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered
11013 with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the
11014 LORD shall forgive her. {30:9} But every vow of a widow, and of her
11015 that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand
11016 against her. {30:10} And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound
11017 her soul by a bond with an oath; {30:11} And her husband heard [it,]
11018 and held his peace at her, [and] disallowed her not: then all her vows
11019 shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
11020 {30:12} But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he
11021 heard [them; then] whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her
11022 vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband
11023 hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her. {30:13} Every vow,
11024 and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish
11025 it, or her husband may make it void. {30:14} But if her husband
11026 altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth
11027 all her vows, or all her bonds, which [are] upon her: he confirmeth
11028 them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard [them.
11029 ]{30:15} But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath
11030 heard [them;] then he shall bear her iniquity. {30:16} These [are] the
11031 statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife,
11032 between the father and his daughter, [being yet] in her youth in her
11033 father's house.
11034
11035 {31:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {31:2} Avenge the
11036 children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered
11037 unto thy people. {31:3} And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm
11038 some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the
11039 Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian. {31:4} Of every tribe a
11040 thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the
11041 war. {31:5} So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a
11042 thousand of [every] tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. {31:6} And
11043 Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of [every] tribe, them and
11044 Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy
11045 instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand. {31:7} And they
11046 warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they
11047 slew all the males. {31:8} And they slew the kings of Midian, beside
11048 the rest of them that were slain; [namely,] Evi, and Rekem, and Zur,
11049 and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor
11050 they slew with the sword. {31:9} And the children of Israel took [all]
11051 the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil
11052 of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods. {31:10}
11053 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their
11054 goodly castles, with fire. {31:11} And they took all the spoil, and all
11055 the prey, [both] of men and of beasts. {31:12} And they brought the
11056 captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the
11057 priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the
11058 camp at the plains of Moab, which [are] by Jordan [near] Jericho.
11059
11060 {31:13} And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of
11061 the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp. {31:14} And
11062 Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, [with] the captains over
11063 thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
11064 {31:15} And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
11065 {31:16} Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the
11066 counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of
11067 Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
11068 {31:17} Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill
11069 every woman that hath known man by lying with him. {31:18} But all the
11070 women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive
11071 for yourselves. {31:19} And do ye abide without the camp seven days:
11072 whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain,
11073 purify [both] yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the
11074 seventh day. {31:20} And purify all [your] raiment, and all that is
11075 made of skins, and all work of goats' [hair,] and all things made of
11076 wood.
11077
11078 {31:21} And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went
11079 to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD
11080 commanded Moses; {31:22} Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the
11081 iron, the tin, and the lead, {31:23} Every thing that may abide the
11082 fire, ye shall make [it] go through the fire, and it shall be clean:
11083 nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all
11084 that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water. {31:24}
11085 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be
11086 clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
11087
11088 {31:25} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {31:26} Take the sum
11089 of the prey that was taken, [both] of man and of beast, thou, and
11090 Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation: {31:27}
11091 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon
11092 them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation: {31:28}
11093 And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to
11094 battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the
11095 beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep: {31:29} Take [it] of their
11096 half, and give [it] unto Eleazar the priest, [for] an heave offering of
11097 the LORD. {31:30} And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take
11098 one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and
11099 of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites,
11100 which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD. {31:31} And Moses
11101 and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses. {31:32} And the
11102 booty, [being] the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught,
11103 was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
11104 {31:33} And threescore and twelve thousand beeves, {31:34} And
11105 threescore and one thousand asses, {31:35} And thirty and two thousand
11106 persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
11107 {31:36} And the half, [which was] the portion of them that went out to
11108 war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand
11109 and five hundred sheep: {31:37} And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was
11110 six hundred and threescore and fifteen. {31:38} And the beeves [were]
11111 thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute [was] threescore
11112 and twelve. {31:39} And the asses [were] thirty thousand and five
11113 hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute [was] threescore and one. {31:40}
11114 And the persons [were] sixteen thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute
11115 [was] thirty and two persons. {31:41} And Moses gave the tribute,
11116 [which was] the LORD'S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the
11117 LORD commanded Moses. {31:42} And of the children of Israel's half,
11118 which Moses divided from the men that warred, {31:43} (Now the half
11119 [that pertained unto] the congregation was three hundred thousand and
11120 thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five hundred sheep, {31:44}
11121 And thirty and six thousand beeves, {31:45} And thirty thousand asses
11122 and five hundred, {31:46} And sixteen thousand persons;) {31:47} Even
11123 of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty,
11124 [both] of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept
11125 the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
11126
11127 {31:48} And the officers which [were] over thousands of the host,
11128 the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto
11129 Moses: {31:49} And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the
11130 sum of the men of war which [are] under our charge, and there lacketh
11131 not one man of us. {31:50} We have therefore brought an oblation for
11132 the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and
11133 bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our
11134 souls before the LORD. {31:51} And Moses and Eleazar the priest took
11135 the gold of them, [even] all wrought jewels. {31:52} And all the gold
11136 of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of
11137 thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven
11138 hundred and fifty shekels. {31:53} ([For] the men of war had taken
11139 spoil, every man for himself.) {31:54} And Moses and Eleazar the priest
11140 took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought
11141 it into the tabernacle of the congregation, [for] a memorial for the
11142 children of Israel before the LORD.
11143
11144 {32:1} Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very
11145 great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the
11146 land of Gilead, that, behold, the place [was] a place for cattle;
11147 {32:2} The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake
11148 unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the
11149 congregation, saying, {32:3} Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah,
11150 and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon, {32:4} [Even]
11151 the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel,
11152 [is] a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle: {32:5} Wherefore,
11153 said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given
11154 unto thy servants for a possession, [and] bring us not over Jordan.
11155
11156 {32:6} And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children
11157 of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here? {32:7}
11158 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from
11159 going over into the land which the LORD hath given them? {32:8} Thus
11160 did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
11161 {32:9} For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the
11162 land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they
11163 should not go into the land which the LORD had given them. {32:10} And
11164 the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,
11165 {32:11} Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty
11166 years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham,
11167 unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
11168 {32:12} Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the
11169 son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD. {32:13} And the
11170 LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the
11171 wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in
11172 the sight of the LORD, was consumed. {32:14} And, behold, ye are risen
11173 up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet
11174 the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel. {32:15} For if ye turn away
11175 from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye
11176 shall destroy all this people.
11177
11178 {32:16} And they came near unto him, and said, We will build
11179 sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones: {32:17}
11180 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel,
11181 until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall
11182 dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
11183 {32:18} We will not return unto our houses, until the children of
11184 Israel have inherited every man his inheritance. {32:19} For we will
11185 not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our
11186 inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
11187
11188 {32:20} And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye
11189 will go armed before the LORD to war, {32:21} And will go all of you
11190 armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies
11191 from before him, {32:22} And the land be subdued before the LORD: then
11192 afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before
11193 Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD. {32:23}
11194 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and
11195 be sure your sin will find you out. {32:24} Build you cities for your
11196 little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded
11197 out of your mouth. {32:25} And the children of Gad and the children of
11198 Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord
11199 commandeth. {32:26} Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our
11200 cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead: {32:27} But thy
11201 servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to
11202 battle, as my lord saith. {32:28} So concerning them Moses commanded
11203 Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of
11204 the tribes of the children of Israel: {32:29} And Moses said unto them,
11205 If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you
11206 over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land
11207 shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead
11208 for a possession: {32:30} But if they will not pass over with you
11209 armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
11210 {32:31} And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered,
11211 saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do. {32:32}
11212 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that
11213 the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan [may be] ours.
11214 {32:33} And Moses gave unto them, [even] to the children of Gad, and to
11215 the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of
11216 Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of
11217 Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts,
11218 [even] the cities of the country round about.
11219
11220 {32:34} And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
11221 {32:35} And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah, {32:36} And
11222 Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
11223 {32:37} And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and
11224 Kirjathaim, {32:38} And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being
11225 changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they
11226 builded. {32:39} And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to
11227 Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which [was] in it.
11228 {32:40} And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he
11229 dwelt therein. {32:41} And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the
11230 small towns thereof, and called them Havoth-jair. {32:42} And Nobah
11231 went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah,
11232 after his own name.
11233
11234 {33:1} These [are] the journeys of the children of Israel, which
11235 went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of
11236 Moses and Aaron. {33:2} And Moses wrote their goings out according to
11237 their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these [are] their
11238 journeys according to their goings out. {33:3} And they departed from
11239 Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on
11240 the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an
11241 high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians. {33:4} For the Egyptians
11242 buried all [their] firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them:
11243 upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments. {33:5} And the
11244 children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth. {33:6}
11245 And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which [is] in the
11246 edge of the wilderness. {33:7} And they removed from Etham, and turned
11247 again unto Pi-hahiroth, which [is] before Baal- zephon: and they
11248 pitched before Migdol. {33:8} And they departed from before
11249 Pi-hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the
11250 wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham,
11251 and pitched in Marah. {33:9} And they removed from Marah, and came unto
11252 Elim: and in Elim [were] twelve fountains of water, and threescore and
11253 ten palm trees; and they pitched there. {33:10} And they removed from
11254 Elim, and encamped by the Red sea. {33:11} And they removed from the
11255 Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin. {33:12} And they took
11256 their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.
11257 {33:13} And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush. {33:14}
11258 And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no
11259 water for the people to drink. {33:15} And they departed from Rephidim,
11260 and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai. {33:16} And they removed from
11261 the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibroth-hattaavah. {33:17} And they
11262 departed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth. {33:18} And
11263 they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah. {33:19} And they
11264 departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmon-parez. {33:20} And they
11265 departed from Rimmon-parez, and pitched in Libnah. {33:21} And they
11266 removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah. {33:22} And they journeyed
11267 from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah. {33:23} And they went from
11268 Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher. {33:24} And they removed from
11269 mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah. {33:25} And they removed from
11270 Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth. {33:26} And they removed from
11271 Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath. {33:27} And they departed from
11272 Tahath, and pitched at Tarah. {33:28} And they removed from Tarah, and
11273 pitched in Mithcah. {33:29} And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in
11274 Hashmonah. {33:30} And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at
11275 Moseroth. {33:31} And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in
11276 Bene-jaakan. {33:32} And they removed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped at
11277 Hor-hagidgad. {33:33} And they went from Hor-hagidgad, and pitched in
11278 Jotbathah. {33:34} And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at
11279 Ebronah. {33:35} And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at
11280 Ezion-gaber. {33:36} And they removed from Ezion-gaber, and pitched in
11281 the wilderness of Zin, which [is] Kadesh. {33:37} And they removed from
11282 Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
11283 {33:38} And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment
11284 of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of
11285 Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first [day] of the
11286 fifth month. {33:39} And Aaron [was] an hundred and twenty and three
11287 years old when he died in mount Hor. {33:40} And king Arad the
11288 Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the
11289 coming of the children of Israel. {33:41} And they departed from mount
11290 Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah. {33:42} And they departed from Zalmonah,
11291 and pitched in Punon. {33:43} And they departed from Punon, and pitched
11292 in Oboth. {33:44} And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in
11293 Ije-abarim, in the border of Moab. {33:45} And they departed from Iim,
11294 and pitched in Dibon-gad. {33:46} And they removed from Dibon-gad, and
11295 encamped in Almon-diblathaim. {33:47} And they removed from
11296 Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
11297 {33:48} And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in
11298 the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho. {33:49} And they pitched
11299 by Jordan, from Beth- jesimoth [even] unto Abel-shittim in the plains
11300 of Moab.
11301
11302 {33:50} And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by
11303 Jordan [near] Jericho, saying, {33:51} Speak unto the children of
11304 Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land
11305 of Canaan; {33:52} Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the
11306 land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all
11307 their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
11308 {33:53} And ye shall dispossess [the inhabitants] of the land, and
11309 dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it. {33:54} And
11310 ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families:
11311 [and] to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer
11312 ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's [inheritance] shall be
11313 in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your
11314 fathers ye shall inherit. {33:55} But if ye will not drive out the
11315 inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass,
11316 that those which ye let remain of them [shall be] pricks in your eyes,
11317 and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye
11318 dwell. {33:56} Moreover it shall come to pass, [that] I shall do unto
11319 you, as I thought to do unto them.
11320
11321 {34:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {34:2} Command the
11322 children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of
11323 Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance,
11324 [even] the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:) {34:3} Then your
11325 south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of
11326 Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea
11327 eastward: {34:4} And your border shall turn from the south to the
11328 ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof
11329 shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to
11330 Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon: {34:5} And the border shall fetch a
11331 compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it
11332 shall be at the sea. {34:6} And [as for] the western border, ye shall
11333 even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
11334 {34:7} And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall
11335 point out for you mount Hor: {34:8} From mount Hor ye shall point out
11336 [your border] unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the
11337 border shall be to Zedad:
11338
11339 {34:9} And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of
11340 it shall be at Hazar- enan: this shall be your north border. {34:10}
11341 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
11342 {34:11} And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east
11343 side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the
11344 side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward: {34:12} And the border shall go
11345 down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this
11346 shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about. {34:13} And
11347 Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the land
11348 which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto
11349 the nine tribes, and to the half tribe: {34:14} For the tribe of the
11350 children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the
11351 tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers,
11352 have received [their inheritance;] and half the tribe of Manasseh have
11353 received their inheritance: {34:15} The two tribes and the half tribe
11354 have received their inheritance on this side Jordan [near] Jericho
11355 eastward, toward the sunrising. {34:16} And the LORD spake unto Moses,
11356 saying, {34:17} These [are] the names of the men which shall divide the
11357 land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. {34:18}
11358 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by
11359 inheritance. {34:19} And the names of the men [are] these: Of the tribe
11360 of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. {34:20} And of the tribe of the
11361 children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud. {34:21} Of the tribe of
11362 Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. {34:22} And the prince of the
11363 tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli. {34:23} The
11364 prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of
11365 Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod. {34:24} And the prince of the tribe
11366 of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. {34:25} And the
11367 prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of
11368 Parnach. {34:26} And the prince of the tribe of the children of
11369 Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan. {34:27} And the prince of the tribe
11370 of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. {34:28} And the
11371 prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of
11372 Ammihud. {34:29} These [are they] whom the LORD commanded to divide the
11373 inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
11374
11375 {35:1} And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan
11376 [near] Jericho, saying, {35:2} Command the children of Israel, that
11377 they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession
11378 cities to dwell in; and ye shall give [also] unto the Levites suburbs
11379 for the cities round about them. {35:3} And the cities shall they have
11380 to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for
11381 their goods, and for all their beasts. {35:4} And the suburbs of the
11382 cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, [shall reach] from the
11383 wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about. {35:5} And
11384 ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand
11385 cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side
11386 two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits and the
11387 city [shall be] in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the
11388 cities. {35:6} And among the cities which ye shall give unto the
11389 Levites [there shall be] six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint
11390 for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add
11391 forty and two cities. {35:7} [So] all the cities which ye shall give to
11392 the Levites [shall be] forty and eight cities: them [shall ye give]
11393 with their suburbs. {35:8} And the cities which ye shall give [shall
11394 be] of the possession of the children of Israel: from [them that have]
11395 many ye shall give many; but from [them that have] few ye shall give
11396 few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to
11397 his inheritance which he inheriteth.
11398
11399 {35:9} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {35:10} Speak unto the
11400 children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into
11401 the land of Canaan; {35:11} Then ye shall appoint you cities to be
11402 cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which
11403 killeth any person at unawares. {35:12} And they shall be unto you
11404 cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until
11405 he stand before the congregation in judgment. {35:13} And of these
11406 cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge. {35:14}
11407 Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall
11408 ye give in the land of Canaan, [which] shall be cities of refuge.
11409 {35:15} These six cities shall be a refuge, [both] for the children of
11410 Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that
11411 every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither. {35:16}
11412 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he [is]
11413 a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. {35:17} And if
11414 he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die,
11415 he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. {35:18} Or
11416 [if] he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die,
11417 and he die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to
11418 death. {35:19} The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer:
11419 when he meeteth him, he shall slay him. {35:20} But if he thrust him of
11420 hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die; {35:21} Or in
11421 enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote [him] shall
11422 surely be put to death; [for] he [is] a murderer: the revenger of blood
11423 shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him. {35:22} But if he thrust
11424 him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without
11425 laying of wait, {35:23} Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die,
11426 seeing [him] not, and cast [it] upon him, that he die, and [was] not
11427 his enemy, neither sought his harm: {35:24} Then the congregation shall
11428 judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these
11429 judgments: {35:25} And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of
11430 the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore
11431 him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide
11432 in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the
11433 holy oil. {35:26} But if the slayer shall at any time come without the
11434 border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled; {35:27} And the
11435 revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his
11436 refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be
11437 guilty of blood: {35:28} Because he should have remained in the city of
11438 his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of
11439 the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his
11440 possession. {35:29} So these [things] shall be for a statute of
11441 judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
11442 {35:30} Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by
11443 the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any
11444 person [to cause him] to die. {35:31} Moreover ye shall take no
11445 satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which [is] guilty of death:
11446 but he shall be surely put to death. {35:32} And ye shall take no
11447 satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he
11448 should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
11449 {35:33} So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye [are:] for blood it
11450 defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is
11451 shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. {35:34} Defile not
11452 therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the
11453 LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
11454
11455 {36:1} And the chief fathers of the families of the children of
11456 Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the
11457 sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the
11458 princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel: {36:2} And they
11459 said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by
11460 lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to
11461 give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
11462 {36:3} And if they be married to any of the sons of the [other] tribes
11463 of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from
11464 the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of
11465 the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the
11466 lot of our inheritance. {36:4} And when the jubile of the children of
11467 Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the
11468 inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their
11469 inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our
11470 fathers. {36:5} And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to
11471 the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said
11472 well. {36:6} This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning
11473 the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think
11474 best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
11475 {36:7} So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove
11476 from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep
11477 himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. {36:8} And
11478 every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the
11479 children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe
11480 of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the
11481 inheritance of his fathers. {36:9} Neither shall the inheritance remove
11482 from [one] tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the
11483 children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance. {36:10}
11484 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
11485 {36:11} For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the
11486 daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers'
11487 sons: {36:12} [And] they were married into the families of the sons of
11488 Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe
11489 of the family of their father. {36:13} These [are] the commandments and
11490 the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the
11491 children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.
11492
11493
11494
11495
11496
11497 The Fifth Book of Moses, called Deuteronomy
11498
11499 {1:1} These [be] the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this
11500 side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red [sea,]
11501 between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. {1:2}
11502 ([There are] eleven days' [journey] from Horeb by the way of mount Seir
11503 unto Kadesh-barnea.) {1:3} And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in
11504 the eleventh month, on the first [day] of the month, [that] Moses spake
11505 unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given
11506 him in commandment unto them; {1:4} After he had slain Sihon the king
11507 of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan,
11508 which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei: {1:5} On this side Jordan, in the
11509 land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, {1:6} The LORD
11510 our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in
11511 this mount: {1:7} Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount
11512 of the Amorites, and unto all [the places] nigh thereunto, in the
11513 plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea
11514 side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great
11515 river, the river Euphrates. {1:8} Behold, I have set the land before
11516 you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers,
11517 Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after
11518 them.
11519
11520 {1:9} And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to
11521 bear you myself alone: {1:10} The LORD your God hath multiplied you,
11522 and, behold, ye [are] this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11523 {1:11} (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many
11524 more as ye [are,] and bless you, as he hath promised you!) {1:12} How
11525 can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your
11526 strife? {1:13} Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among
11527 your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you. {1:14} And ye
11528 answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good [for
11529 us] to do. {1:15} So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and
11530 known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and
11531 captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over
11532 tens, and officers among your tribes. {1:16} And I charged your judges
11533 at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brethren, and
11534 judge righteously between [every] man and his brother, and the stranger
11535 [that is] with him. {1:17} Ye shall not respect persons in judgment;
11536 [but ]ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be
11537 afraid of the face of man; for the judgment [is ]God's: and the cause
11538 that is too hard for you, bring [it ]unto me, and I will hear it.
11539 {1:18} And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should
11540 do.
11541
11542 {1:19} And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that
11543 great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain
11544 of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to
11545 Kadesh-barnea. {1:20} And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the
11546 mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.
11547 {1:21} Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up
11548 [and] possess [it,] as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee;
11549 fear not, neither be discouraged.
11550
11551 {1:22} And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will
11552 send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us
11553 word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall
11554 come. {1:23} and the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of
11555 you, one of a tribe: {1:24} And they turned and went up into the
11556 mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
11557 {1:25} And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and
11558 brought [it] down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, [It is]
11559 a good land which the LORD our God doth give us. {1:26} Notwithstanding
11560 ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD
11561 your God: {1:27} And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the
11562 LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to
11563 deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. {1:28} Whither
11564 shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The
11565 people [is] greater and taller than we; the cities [are] great and
11566 walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims
11567 there. {1:29} Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of
11568 them. {1:30} The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight
11569 for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your
11570 eyes; {1:31} And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the
11571 LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that
11572 ye went, until ye came into this place. {1:32} Yet in this thing ye did
11573 not believe the LORD your God, {1:33} Who went in the way before you,
11574 to search you out a place to pitch your tents [in,] in fire by night,
11575 to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day. {1:34} And
11576 the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware,
11577 saying, {1:35} Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil
11578 generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
11579 {1:36} Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him
11580 will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children,
11581 because he hath wholly followed the LORD. {1:37} Also the LORD was
11582 angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in
11583 thither. {1:38} [But] Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before
11584 thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel
11585 to inherit it. {1:39} Moreover your little ones, which ye said should
11586 be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge
11587 between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I
11588 give it, and they shall possess it. {1:40} But [as for] you, turn you,
11589 and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
11590 {1:41} Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the
11591 LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God
11592 commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war,
11593 ye were ready to go up into the hill. {1:42} And the LORD said unto me,
11594 Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I [am] not among you; lest
11595 ye be smitten before your enemies. {1:43} So I spake unto you; and ye
11596 would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and
11597 went presumptuously up into the hill. {1:44} And the Amorites, which
11598 dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees
11599 do, and destroyed you in Seir, [even] unto Hormah. {1:45} And ye
11600 returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to
11601 your voice, nor give ear unto you. {1:46} So ye abode in Kadesh many
11602 days, according unto the days that ye abode [there.]
11603
11604 {2:1} Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by
11605 the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed
11606 mount Seir many days. {2:2} And the LORD spake unto me, saying, {2:3}
11607 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward. {2:4}
11608 And command thou the people, saying, Ye [are] to pass through the coast
11609 of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they
11610 shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:
11611 {2:5} Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no,
11612 not so much as a footbreadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau
11613 [for] a possession. {2:6} Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye
11614 may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may
11615 drink. {2:7} For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of
11616 thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these
11617 forty years the LORD thy God [hath been] with thee; thou hast lacked
11618 nothing. {2:8} And when we passed by from our brethren the children of
11619 Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and
11620 from Ezion-gaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of
11621 Moab. {2:9} And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites,
11622 neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their
11623 land [for] a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of
11624 Lot [for] a possession. {2:10} The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a
11625 people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; {2:11} Which also
11626 were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them
11627 Emims. {2:12} The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the
11628 children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from
11629 before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of
11630 his possession, which the LORD gave unto them. {2:13} Now rise up,
11631 [said I,] and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook
11632 Zered. {2:14} And the space in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until
11633 we were come over the brook Zered, [was] thirty and eight years; until
11634 all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the
11635 host, as the LORD sware unto them. {2:15} For indeed the hand of the
11636 LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they
11637 were consumed.
11638
11639 {2:16} So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and
11640 dead from among the people, {2:17} That the LORD spake unto me, saying,
11641 {2:18} Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
11642 {2:19} And [when] thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon,
11643 distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of
11644 the land of the children of Ammon [any] possession; because I have
11645 given it unto the children of Lot [for] a possession. {2:20} (That also
11646 was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and
11647 the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; {2:21} A people great, and many,
11648 and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and
11649 they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead: {2:22} As he did to the
11650 children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims
11651 from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead
11652 even unto this day: {2:23} And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, [even]
11653 unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed
11654 them, and dwelt in their stead.)
11655
11656 {2:24} Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon:
11657 behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of
11658 Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess [it,] and contend with him in
11659 battle. {2:25} This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the
11660 fear of thee upon the nations [that are] under the whole heaven, who
11661 shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because
11662 of thee.
11663
11664 {2:26} And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto
11665 Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, {2:27} Let me pass
11666 through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn
11667 unto the right hand nor to the left. {2:28} Thou shalt sell me meat for
11668 money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink:
11669 only I will pass through on my feet; {2:29} (As the children of Esau
11670 which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;)
11671 until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God
11672 giveth us. {2:30} But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by
11673 him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart
11674 obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as [appeareth] this
11675 day. {2:31} And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give
11676 Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest
11677 inherit his land. {2:32} Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his
11678 people, to fight at Jahaz. {2:33} And the LORD our God delivered him
11679 before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. {2:34}
11680 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men,
11681 and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to
11682 remain: {2:35} Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and
11683 the spoil of the cities which we took. {2:36} From Aroer, which [is] by
11684 the brink of the river of Arnon, and [from] the city that [is] by the
11685 river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the
11686 LORD our God delivered all unto us: {2:37} Only unto the land of the
11687 children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river
11688 Jabbok, [nor] unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the
11689 LORD our God forbad us.
11690
11691 {3:1} Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king
11692 of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at
11693 Edrei. {3:2} And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will
11694 deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou
11695 shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which
11696 dwelt at Heshbon. {3:3} So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og
11697 also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until
11698 none was left to him remaining. {3:4} And we took all his cities at
11699 that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore
11700 cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. {3:5} All
11701 these cities [were] fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside
11702 unwalled towns a great many. {3:6} And we utterly destroyed them, as we
11703 did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and
11704 children, of every city. {3:7} But all the cattle, and the spoil of the
11705 cities, we took for a prey to ourselves. {3:8} And we took at that time
11706 out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that [was] on
11707 this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon; {3:9}
11708 ([Which] Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it
11709 Shenir;) {3:10} All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all
11710 Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
11711 {3:11} For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants;
11712 behold, his bedstead [was] a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of
11713 the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four
11714 cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man. {3:12} And this
11715 land, [which] we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which [is] by the
11716 river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto
11717 the Reubenites and to the Gadites. {3:13} And the rest of Gilead, and
11718 all Bashan, [being] the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of
11719 Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called
11720 the land of giants. {3:14} Jair the son of Manasseh took all the
11721 country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called
11722 them after his own name, Bashan- havoth-jair, unto this day. {3:15} And
11723 I gave Gilead unto Machir. {3:16} And unto the Reubenites and unto the
11724 Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley,
11725 and the border even unto the river Jabbok, [which is] the border of the
11726 children of Ammon; {3:17} The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast
11727 [thereof,] from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, [even] the
11728 salt sea, under Ashdoth-pisgah eastward.
11729
11730 {3:18} And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God
11731 hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before
11732 your brethren the children of Israel, all [that are] meet for the war.
11733 {3:19} But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, ([for] I
11734 know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have
11735 given you; {3:20} Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as
11736 well as unto you, and [until] they also possess the land which the LORD
11737 your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and [then] shall ye return
11738 every man unto his possession, which I have given you.
11739
11740 {3:21} And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have
11741 seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so
11742 shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest. {3:22} Ye
11743 shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.
11744 {3:23} And I besought the LORD at that time, saying, {3:24} O Lord GOD,
11745 thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand:
11746 for what God [is there] in heaven or in earth, that can do according to
11747 thy works, and according to thy might? {3:25} I pray thee, let me go
11748 over, and see the good land that [is] beyond Jordan, that goodly
11749 mountain, and Lebanon. {3:26} But the LORD was wroth with me for your
11750 sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice
11751 thee; speak no more unto me of this matter. {3:27} Get thee up into the
11752 top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and
11753 southward, and eastward, and behold [it] with thine eyes: for thou
11754 shalt not go over this Jordan. {3:28} But charge Joshua, and encourage
11755 him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and
11756 he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see. {3:29} So
11757 we abode in the valley over against Beth- peor.
11758
11759 {4:1} Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto
11760 the judgments, which I teach you, for to do [them,] that ye may live,
11761 and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers
11762 giveth you. {4:2} Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you,
11763 neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the
11764 commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. {4:3} Your eyes
11765 have seen what the LORD did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that
11766 followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among
11767 you. {4:4} But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God [are] alive
11768 every one of you this day. {4:5} Behold, I have taught you statutes and
11769 judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so
11770 in the land whither ye go to possess it. {4:6} Keep therefore and do
11771 [them;] for this [is] your wisdom and your understanding in the sight
11772 of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely
11773 this great nation [is] a wise and understanding people. {4:7} For what
11774 nation [is there so] great, who [hath] God [so] nigh unto them, as the
11775 LORD our God [is] in all [things that] we call upon him [for? ]{4:8}
11776 And what nation [is there so] great, that hath statutes and judgments
11777 [so] righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? {4:9}
11778 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou
11779 forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from
11780 thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy
11781 sons' sons; {4:10} [Specially] the day that thou stoodest before the
11782 LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people
11783 together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to
11784 fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and [that]
11785 they may teach their children. {4:11} And ye came near and stood under
11786 the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of
11787 heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness. {4:12} And the LORD
11788 spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the
11789 words, but saw no similitude; only [ye heard] a voice. {4:13} And he
11790 declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform,
11791 [even] ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
11792
11793 {4:14} And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes
11794 and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to
11795 possess it. {4:15} Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye
11796 saw no manner of similitude on the day [that] the LORD spake unto you
11797 in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: {4:16} Lest ye corrupt
11798 [yourselves,] and make you a graven image, the similitude of any
11799 figure, the likeness of male or female, {4:17} The likeness of any
11800 beast that [is] on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that
11801 flieth in the air, {4:18} The likeness of any thing that creepeth on
11802 the ground, the likeness of any fish that [is] in the waters beneath
11803 the earth: {4:19} And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and
11804 when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the
11805 host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them,
11806 which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole
11807 heaven. {4:20} But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out
11808 of the iron furnace, [even] out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of
11809 inheritance, as [ye are] this day. {4:21} Furthermore the LORD was
11810 angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over
11811 Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD
11812 thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance: {4:22} But I must die in this
11813 land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that
11814 good land. {4:23} Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the
11815 covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a
11816 graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing,] which the LORD thy God
11817 hath forbidden thee. {4:24} For the LORD thy God [is] a consuming fire,
11818 [even] a jealous God.
11819
11820 {4:25} When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and
11821 ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt
11822 [yourselves,] and make a graven image, [or] the likeness of any
11823 [thing,] and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke
11824 him to anger: {4:26} I call heaven and earth to witness against you
11825 this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto
11826 ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong [your] days upon
11827 it, but shall utterly be destroyed. {4:27} And the LORD shall scatter
11828 you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the
11829 heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you. {4:28} And there ye shall
11830 serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see,
11831 nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. {4:29} But if from thence thou shalt seek
11832 the LORD thy God, thou shalt find [him,] if thou seek him with all thy
11833 heart and with all thy soul. {4:30} When thou art in tribulation, and
11834 all these things are come upon thee, [even] in the latter days, if thou
11835 turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; {4:31}
11836 (For the LORD thy God [is] a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee,
11837 neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he
11838 sware unto them. {4:32} For ask now of the days that are past, which
11839 were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth,
11840 and [ask] from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there
11841 hath been [any such thing] as this great thing [is,] or hath been heard
11842 like it? {4:33} Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking out of
11843 the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live? {4:34} Or hath God
11844 assayed to go [and] take him a nation from the midst of another
11845 [nation,] by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by
11846 a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors,
11847 according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before
11848 your eyes? {4:35} Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that
11849 the LORD he [is] God; [there is] none else beside him. {4:36} Out of
11850 heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and
11851 upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words
11852 out of the midst of the fire. {4:37} And because he loved thy fathers,
11853 therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his
11854 sight with his mighty power out of Egypt; {4:38} To drive out nations
11855 from before thee greater and mightier than thou [art,] to bring thee
11856 in, to give thee their land [for] an inheritance, as [it is] this day.
11857 {4:39} Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in thine heart, that
11858 the LORD he [is] God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath:
11859 [there is] none else. {4:40} Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes,
11860 and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go
11861 well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest
11862 prolong [thy] days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee,
11863 for ever.
11864
11865 {4:41} Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward
11866 the sunrising; {4:42} That the slayer might flee thither, which should
11867 kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that
11868 fleeing unto one of these cities he might live: {4:43} [Namely,] Bezer
11869 in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth
11870 in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.
11871
11872 {4:44} And this is the law which Moses set before the children of
11873 Israel: {4:45} These [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the
11874 judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they
11875 came forth out of Egypt, {4:46} On this side Jordan, in the valley over
11876 against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt
11877 at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they
11878 were come forth out of Egypt: {4:47} And they possessed his land, and
11879 the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which [were]
11880 on this side Jordan toward the sunrising; {4:48} From Aroer, which [is]
11881 by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which [is]
11882 Hermon, {4:49} And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even
11883 unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
11884
11885 {5:1} And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O
11886 Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day,
11887 that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them. {5:2} The LORD our God
11888 made a covenant with us in Horeb. {5:3} The LORD made not this covenant
11889 with our fathers, but with us, [even] us, who [are] all of us here
11890 alive this day. {5:4} The LORD talked with you face to face in the
11891 mount out of the midst of the fire, {5:5} (I stood between the LORD and
11892 you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid
11893 by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,
11894
11895 {5:6} I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of
11896 Egypt, from the house of bondage. {5:7} Thou shalt have none other gods
11897 before me. {5:8} Thou shalt not make thee [any] graven image, [or] any
11898 likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the
11899 earth beneath, or that [is] in the waters beneath the earth: {5:9} Thou
11900 shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD
11901 thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon
11902 the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate
11903 me, {5:10} And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and
11904 keep my commandments. {5:11} Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD
11905 thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold [him] guiltless that taketh
11906 his name in vain. {5:12} Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the
11907 LORD thy God hath commanded thee. {5:13} Six days thou shalt labour,
11908 and do all thy work: {5:14} But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the
11909 LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son,
11910 nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine
11911 ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is]
11912 within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as
11913 well as thou. {5:15} And remember that thou wast a servant in the land
11914 of Egypt, and [that] the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a
11915 mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God
11916 commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
11917
11918 {5:16} Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath
11919 commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well
11920 with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. {5:17} Thou
11921 shalt not kill. {5:18} Neither shalt thou commit adultery. {5:19}
11922 Neither shalt thou steal. {5:20} Neither shalt thou bear false witness
11923 against thy neighbour. {5:21} Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's
11924 wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his
11925 manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any [thing] that
11926 [is] thy neighbour's.
11927
11928 {5:22} These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the
11929 mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick
11930 darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them
11931 in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me. {5:23} And it came
11932 to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for
11933 the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, [even] all
11934 the heads of your tribes, and your elders; {5:24} And ye said, Behold,
11935 the LORD our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we
11936 have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this
11937 day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth. {5:25} Now therefore
11938 why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the
11939 voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die. {5:26} For who
11940 [is there of] all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God
11941 speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we [have,] and lived? {5:27}
11942 Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak
11943 thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we
11944 will hear [it,] and do [it. ]{5:28} And the LORD heard the voice of
11945 your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have
11946 heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken
11947 unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken. {5:29} O that
11948 there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all
11949 my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their
11950 children for ever! {5:30} Go say to them, Get you into your tents
11951 again. {5:31} But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak
11952 unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments,
11953 which thou shalt teach them, that they may do [them] in the land which
11954 I give them to possess it. {5:32} Ye shall observe to do therefore as
11955 the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the
11956 right hand or to the left. {5:33} Ye shall walk in all the ways which
11957 the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and [that it
11958 may be] well with you, and [that] ye may prolong [your] days in the
11959 land which ye shall possess.
11960
11961 {6:1} Now these [are] the commandments, the statutes, and the
11962 judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye
11963 might do [them] in the land whither ye go to possess it: {6:2} That
11964 thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his
11965 commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's
11966 son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
11967
11968 {6:3} Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do [it;] that it may
11969 be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God
11970 of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk
11971 and honey. {6:4} Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD: {6:5}
11972 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all
11973 thy soul, and with all thy might. {6:6} And these words, which I
11974 command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: {6:7} And thou shalt
11975 teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when
11976 thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when
11977 thou liest down, and when thou risest up. {6:8} And thou shalt bind
11978 them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between
11979 thine eyes. {6:9} And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy
11980 house, and on thy gates. {6:10} And it shall be, when the LORD thy God
11981 shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers,
11982 to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly
11983 cities, which thou buildedst not, {6:11} And houses full of all good
11984 [things,] which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou
11985 diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when
11986 thou shalt have eaten and be full; {6:12} [Then] beware lest thou
11987 forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt,
11988 from the house of bondage. {6:13} Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and
11989 serve him, and shalt swear by his name. {6:14} Ye shall not go after
11990 other gods, of the gods of the people which [are] round about you;
11991 {6:15} (For the LORD thy God [is] a jealous God among you) lest the
11992 anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee
11993 from off the face of the earth.
11994
11995 {6:16} Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted [him] in
11996 Massah. {6:17} Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD
11997 your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath
11998 commanded thee. {6:18} And thou shalt do [that which is] right and good
11999 in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou
12000 mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy
12001 fathers, {6:19} To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the
12002 LORD hath spoken. {6:20} [And] when thy son asketh thee in time to
12003 come, saying, What [mean] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the
12004 judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you? {6:21} Then thou
12005 shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the
12006 LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand: {6:22} And the LORD
12007 shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and
12008 upon all his household, before our eyes: {6:23} And he brought us out
12009 from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he
12010 sware unto our fathers. {6:24} And the LORD commanded us to do all
12011 these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he
12012 might preserve us alive, as [it is] at this day. {6:25} And it shall be
12013 our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before
12014 the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
12015
12016 {7:1} When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither
12017 thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee,
12018 the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the
12019 Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites,
12020 seven nations greater and mightier than thou; {7:2} And when the LORD
12021 thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, [and]
12022 utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew
12023 mercy unto them: {7:3} Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy
12024 daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou
12025 take unto thy son. {7:4} For they will turn away thy son from following
12026 me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be
12027 kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. {7:5} But thus shall ye
12028 deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their
12029 images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with
12030 fire. {7:6} For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the
12031 LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself,
12032 above all people that [are] upon the face of the earth. {7:7} The LORD
12033 did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in
12034 number than any people; for ye [were] the fewest of all people: {7:8}
12035 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath
12036 which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out
12037 with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from
12038 the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. {7:9} Know therefore that the LORD
12039 thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and
12040 mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand
12041 generations; {7:10} And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to
12042 destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will
12043 repay him to his face. {7:11} Thou shalt therefore keep the
12044 commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee
12045 this day, to do them.
12046
12047 {7:12} Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these
12048 judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto
12049 thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: {7:13}
12050 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also
12051 bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and
12052 thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of
12053 thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
12054 {7:14} Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male
12055 or female barren among you, or among your cattle. {7:15} And the LORD
12056 will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil
12057 diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them
12058 upon all [them] that hate thee. {7:16} And thou shalt consume all the
12059 people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have
12060 no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that [will
12061 be] a snare unto thee. {7:17} If thou shalt say in thine heart, These
12062 nations [are] more than I; how can I dispossess them? {7:18} Thou shalt
12063 not be afraid of them: [but] shalt well remember what the LORD thy God
12064 did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt; {7:19} The great temptations
12065 which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty
12066 hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee
12067 out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art
12068 afraid. {7:20} Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among
12069 them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be
12070 destroyed. {7:21} Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD
12071 thy God [is] among you, a mighty God and terrible. {7:22} And the LORD
12072 thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little:
12073 thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field
12074 increase upon thee. {7:23} But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto
12075 thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be
12076 destroyed. {7:24} And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and
12077 thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be
12078 able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them. {7:25} The
12079 graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not
12080 desire the silver or gold [that is] on them, nor take [it] unto thee,
12081 lest thou be snared therein: for it [is] an abomination to the LORD thy
12082 God. {7:26} Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house,
12083 lest thou be a cursed thing like it: [but] thou shalt utterly detest
12084 it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it [is] a cursed thing.
12085
12086 {8:1} All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye
12087 observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess
12088 the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. {8:2} And thou shalt
12089 remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years
12090 in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to prove thee, to know what
12091 [was] in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or
12092 no. {8:3} And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed
12093 thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know;
12094 that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but
12095 by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man
12096 live. {8:4} Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot
12097 swell, these forty years. {8:5} Thou shalt also consider in thine
12098 heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, [so] the LORD thy God
12099 chasteneth thee. {8:6} Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of
12100 the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. {8:7} For the
12101 LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water,
12102 of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; {8:8} A
12103 land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates;
12104 a land of oil olive, and honey; {8:9} A land wherein thou shalt eat
12105 bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any [thing] in it; a land
12106 whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
12107 {8:10} When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the
12108 LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. {8:11} Beware
12109 that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments,
12110 and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
12111 {8:12} Lest [when] thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly
12112 houses, and dwelt [therein; ]{8:13} And [when] thy herds and thy flocks
12113 multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou
12114 hast is multiplied; {8:14} Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou
12115 forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of
12116 Egypt, from the house of bondage; {8:15} Who led thee through that
12117 great and terrible wilderness, [wherein were] fiery serpents, and
12118 scorpions, and drought, where [there was] no water; who brought thee
12119 forth water out of the rock of flint; {8:16} Who fed thee in the
12120 wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble
12121 thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
12122 {8:17} And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of [mine]
12123 hand hath gotten me this wealth. {8:18} But thou shalt remember the
12124 LORD thy God: for [it is] he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that
12125 he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as [it
12126 is] this day. {8:19} And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD
12127 thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I
12128 testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. {8:20} As the
12129 nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish;
12130 because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
12131
12132 {9:1} Hear, O Israel: Thou [art] to pass over Jordan this day, to go
12133 in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great
12134 and fenced up to heaven, {9:2} A people great and tall, the children of
12135 the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and [of whom] thou hast heard [say,]
12136 Who can stand before the children of Anak! {9:3} Understand therefore
12137 this day, that the LORD thy God [is] he which goeth over before thee;
12138 [as] a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them
12139 down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them
12140 quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee. {9:4} Speak not thou in thine
12141 heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee,
12142 saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess
12143 this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive
12144 them out from before thee. {9:5} Not for thy righteousness, or for the
12145 uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for
12146 the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out
12147 from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware
12148 unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. {9:6} Understand
12149 therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to
12150 possess it for thy righteousness; for thou [art] a stiffnecked people.
12151
12152 {9:7} Remember, [and] forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy
12153 God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out
12154 of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been
12155 rebellious against the LORD. {9:8} Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD
12156 to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.
12157 {9:9} When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone,
12158 [even] the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I
12159 abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread
12160 nor drink water: {9:10} And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of
12161 stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written]
12162 according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount
12163 out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. {9:11} And it
12164 came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, [that] the LORD
12165 gave me the two tables of stone, [even] the tables of the covenant.
12166 {9:12} And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from
12167 hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have
12168 corrupted [themselves;] they are quickly turned aside out of the way
12169 which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image. {9:13}
12170 Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people,
12171 and, behold, it [is] a stiffnecked people: {9:14} Let me alone, that I
12172 may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will
12173 make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they. {9:15} So I
12174 turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire:
12175 and the two tables of the covenant [were] in my two hands. {9:16} And I
12176 looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, [and] had
12177 made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way
12178 which the LORD had commanded you. {9:17} And I took the two tables, and
12179 cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes. {9:18}
12180 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty
12181 nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your
12182 sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to
12183 provoke him to anger. {9:19} For I was afraid of the anger and hot
12184 displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you.
12185 But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also. {9:20} And the LORD
12186 was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron
12187 also the same time. {9:21} And I took your sin, the calf which ye had
12188 made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, [and] ground [it] very
12189 small, [even] until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust
12190 thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount. {9:22} And at
12191 Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the LORD
12192 to wrath. {9:23} Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea,
12193 saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye
12194 rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed
12195 him not, nor hearkened to his voice. {9:24} Ye have been rebellious
12196 against the LORD from the day that I knew you. {9:25} Thus I fell down
12197 before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down [at the
12198 first;] because the LORD had said he would destroy you. {9:26} I prayed
12199 therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people
12200 and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness,
12201 which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand. {9:27}
12202 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the
12203 stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
12204 {9:28} Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the
12205 LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them,
12206 and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the
12207 wilderness. {9:29} Yet they [are] thy people and thine inheritance,
12208 which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out
12209 arm.
12210
12211 {10:1} At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of
12212 stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make
12213 thee an ark of wood. {10:2} And I will write on the tables the words
12214 that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put
12215 them in the ark. {10:3} And I made an ark [of] shittim wood, and hewed
12216 two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount,
12217 having the two tables in mine hand. {10:4} And he wrote on the tables,
12218 according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD
12219 spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of
12220 the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me. {10:5} And I turned
12221 myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark
12222 which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me.
12223
12224 {10:6} And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of
12225 the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was
12226 buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his
12227 stead. {10:7} From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from
12228 Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.
12229
12230 {10:8} At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear
12231 the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to
12232 minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day. {10:9}
12233 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD
12234 [is] his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.
12235 {10:10} And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty
12236 days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time
12237 also, [and] the LORD would not destroy thee. {10:11} And the LORD said
12238 unto me, Arise, take [thy] journey before the people, that they may go
12239 in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto
12240 them.
12241
12242 {10:12} And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee,
12243 but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him,
12244 and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
12245 {10:13} To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I
12246 command thee this day for thy good? {10:14} Behold, the heaven and the
12247 heaven of heavens [is] the LORD'S thy God, the earth [also,] with all
12248 that therein [is. ]{10:15} Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers
12249 to love them, and he chose their seed after them, [even] you above all
12250 people, as [it is] this day. {10:16} Circumcise therefore the foreskin
12251 of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. {10:17} For the LORD your
12252 God [is] God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a
12253 terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward: {10:18} He
12254 doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the
12255 stranger, in giving him food and raiment. {10:19} Love ye therefore the
12256 stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. {10:20} Thou
12257 shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt
12258 thou cleave, and swear by his name. {10:21} He [is] thy praise, and he
12259 [is] thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things,
12260 which thine eyes have seen. {10:22} Thy fathers went down into Egypt
12261 with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made
12262 thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
12263
12264 {11:1} Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his
12265 charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments,
12266 alway. {11:2} And know ye this day: for [I speak] not with your
12267 children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement
12268 of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched
12269 out arm, {11:3} And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the
12270 midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
12271 {11:4} And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and
12272 to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow
12273 them as they pursued after you, and [how] the LORD hath destroyed them
12274 unto this day; {11:5} And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until
12275 ye came into this place; {11:6} And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram,
12276 the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth,
12277 and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all
12278 the substance that [was] in their possession, in the midst of all
12279 Israel: {11:7} But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD
12280 which he did. {11:8} Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which
12281 I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess
12282 the land, whither ye go to possess it; {11:9} And that ye may prolong
12283 [your] days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give
12284 unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
12285
12286 {11:10} For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, [is] not
12287 as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy
12288 seed, and wateredst [it] with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: {11:11}
12289 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, [is] a land of hills [and]
12290 valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven: {11:12} A land which
12291 the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God [are] always
12292 upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
12293
12294 {11:13} And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently
12295 unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD
12296 your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
12297 {11:14} That I will give [you] the rain of your land in his due season,
12298 the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy
12299 corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. {11:15} And I will send grass in thy
12300 fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full. {11:16} Take
12301 heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside,
12302 and serve other gods, and worship them; {11:17} And [then] the LORD'S
12303 wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be
12304 no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and [lest] ye perish
12305 quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.
12306
12307 {11:18} Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and
12308 in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be
12309 as frontlets between your eyes. {11:19} And ye shall teach them your
12310 children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when
12311 thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
12312 {11:20} And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house,
12313 and upon thy gates: {11:21} That your days may be multiplied, and the
12314 days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your
12315 fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
12316
12317 {11:22} For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which
12318 I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all
12319 his ways, and to cleave unto him; {11:23} Then will the LORD drive out
12320 all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations
12321 and mightier than yourselves. {11:24} Every place whereon the soles of
12322 your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon,
12323 from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall
12324 your coast be. {11:25} There shall no man be able to stand before you:
12325 [for] the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you
12326 upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
12327
12328 {11:26} Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
12329 {11:27} A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God,
12330 which I command you this day: {11:28} And a curse, if ye will not obey
12331 the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way
12332 which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not
12333 known. {11:29} And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath
12334 brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that
12335 thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon
12336 mount Ebal. {11:30} [Are] they not on the other side Jordan, by the way
12337 where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in
12338 the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh? {11:31}
12339 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the
12340 LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.
12341 {11:32} And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which
12342 I set before you this day.
12343
12344 {12:1} These [are] the statutes and judgments, which ye shall
12345 observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth
12346 thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth. {12:2} Ye
12347 shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye
12348 shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the
12349 hills, and under every green tree: {12:3} And ye shall overthrow their
12350 altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and
12351 ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the
12352 names of them out of that place. {12:4} Ye shall not do so unto the
12353 LORD your God. {12:5} But unto the place which the LORD your God shall
12354 choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, [even] unto his
12355 habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come: {12:6} And
12356 thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and
12357 your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your
12358 freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your
12359 flocks: {12:7} And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye
12360 shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your
12361 households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee. {12:8} Ye shall
12362 not do after all [the things] that we do here this day, every man
12363 whatsoever [is] right in his own eyes. {12:9} For ye are not as yet
12364 come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth
12365 you. {12:10} But [when] ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which
12366 the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and [when] he giveth you rest
12367 from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety; {12:11}
12368 Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to
12369 cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I
12370 command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes,
12371 and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye
12372 vow unto the LORD: {12:12} And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your
12373 God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and
12374 your maidservants, and the Levite that [is] within your gates;
12375 forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you. {12:13} Take
12376 heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place
12377 that thou seest: {12:14} But in the place which the LORD shall choose
12378 in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and
12379 there thou shalt do all that I command thee. {12:15} Notwithstanding
12380 thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul
12381 lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he
12382 hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the
12383 roebuck, and as of the hart. {12:16} Only ye shall not eat the blood;
12384 ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
12385
12386 {12:17} Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn,
12387 or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy
12388 flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill
12389 offerings, or heave offering of thine hand: {12:18} But thou must eat
12390 them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall
12391 choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and
12392 thy maidservant, and the Levite that [is] within thy gates: and thou
12393 shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine
12394 hands unto. {12:19} Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the
12395 Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.
12396
12397 {12:20} When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath
12398 promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul
12399 longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul
12400 lusteth after. {12:21} If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen
12401 to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy
12402 herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have
12403 commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul
12404 lusteth after. {12:22} Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so
12405 thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat [of] them
12406 alike. {12:23} Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood
12407 [is] the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. {12:24}
12408 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
12409 {12:25} Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with
12410 thy children after thee, when thou shalt do [that which is] right in
12411 the sight of the LORD. {12:26} Only thy holy things which thou hast,
12412 and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD
12413 shall choose: {12:27} And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the
12414 flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood
12415 of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy
12416 God, and thou shalt eat the flesh. {12:28} Observe and hear all these
12417 words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy
12418 children after thee for ever, when thou doest [that which is] good and
12419 right in the sight of the LORD thy God.
12420
12421 {12:29} When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before
12422 thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and
12423 dwellest in their land; {12:30} Take heed to thyself that thou be not
12424 snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before
12425 thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these
12426 nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. {12:31} Thou
12427 shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the
12428 LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their
12429 sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
12430 {12:32} What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt
12431 not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
12432
12433 {13:1} If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams,
12434 and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, {13:2} And the sign or the wonder
12435 come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other
12436 gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; {13:3} Thou
12437 shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of
12438 dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the
12439 LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. {13:4} Ye
12440 shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his
12441 commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave
12442 unto him. {13:5} And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be
12443 put to death; because he hath spoken to turn [you] away from the LORD
12444 your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you
12445 out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the
12446 LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away
12447 from the midst of thee.
12448
12449 {13:6} If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy
12450 daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which [is] as thine
12451 own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods,
12452 which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; {13:7} [Namely,] of
12453 the gods of the people which [are] round about you, nigh unto thee, or
12454 far off from thee, from the [one] end of the earth even unto the
12455 [other] end of the earth; {13:8} Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor
12456 hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou
12457 spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: {13:9} But thou shalt surely
12458 kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and
12459 afterwards the hand of all the people. {13:10} And thou shalt stone him
12460 with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away
12461 from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
12462 from the house of bondage. {13:11} And all Israel shall hear, and fear,
12463 and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.
12464
12465 {13:12} If thou shalt hear [say] in one of thy cities, which the
12466 LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying, {13:13} [Certain]
12467 men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have
12468 withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve
12469 other gods, which ye have not known; {13:14} Then shalt thou enquire,
12470 and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, [if it be] truth,
12471 [and] the thing certain, [that] such abomination is wrought among you;
12472 {13:15} Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the
12473 edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that [is] therein,
12474 and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword. {13:16} And thou
12475 shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof,
12476 and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every
12477 whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall
12478 not be built again. {13:17} And there shall cleave nought of the cursed
12479 thing to thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his
12480 anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply
12481 thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers; {13:18} When thou shalt
12482 hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments
12483 which I command thee this day, to do [that which is] right in the eyes
12484 of the LORD thy God.
12485
12486 {14:1} Ye [are] the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut
12487 yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
12488 {14:2} for thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the
12489 LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all
12490 the nations that [are] upon the earth.
12491
12492 {14:3} Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing. {14:4} These [are]
12493 the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, {14:5}
12494 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and
12495 the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois. {14:6} And every beast
12496 that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, [and]
12497 cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat. {14:7}
12498 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of
12499 them that divide the cloven hoof; [as] the camel, and the hare, and the
12500 coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; [therefore] they
12501 [are] unclean unto you. {14:8} And the swine, because it divideth the
12502 hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat
12503 of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.
12504
12505 {14:9} These ye shall eat of all that [are] in the waters: all that
12506 have fins and scales shall ye eat: {14:10} And whatsoever hath not fins
12507 and scales ye may not eat; it [is] unclean unto you.
12508
12509 {14:11} [Of] all clean birds ye shall eat. {14:12} But these [are
12510 they] of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and ossifrage, and the
12511 ospray, {14:13} And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his
12512 kind, {14:14} And every raven after his kind, {14:15} And the owl, and
12513 the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, {14:16}
12514 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan, {14:17} And the
12515 pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant, {14:18} And the stork,
12516 and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. {14:19} And
12517 every creeping thing that flieth [is] unclean unto you: they shall not
12518 be eaten. {14:20} [But of] all clean fowls ye may eat.
12519
12520 {14:21} Ye shall not eat [of] any thing that dieth of itself: thou
12521 shalt give it unto the stranger that [is] in thy gates, that he may eat
12522 it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou [art] an holy people
12523 unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's
12524 milk. {14:22} Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that
12525 the field bringeth forth year by year. {14:23} And thou shalt eat
12526 before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place
12527 his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil,
12528 and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest
12529 learn to fear the LORD thy God always. {14:24} And if the way be too
12530 long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; [or] if the place
12531 be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his
12532 name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee: {14:25} Then shalt
12533 thou turn [it] into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and
12534 shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: {14:26}
12535 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after,
12536 for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for
12537 whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD
12538 thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, {14:27} And
12539 the Levite that [is] within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for
12540 he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
12541
12542 {14:28} At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the
12543 tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay [it] up within thy
12544 gates: {14:29} And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance
12545 with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which
12546 [are] within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied;
12547 that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand
12548 which thou doest.
12549
12550 {15:1} At the end of [every] seven years thou shalt make a release.
12551 {15:2} And this [is] the manner of the release: Every creditor that
12552 lendeth [ought] unto his neighbour shall release [it;] he shall not
12553 exact [it] of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called
12554 the LORD'S release. {15:3} Of a foreigner thou mayest exact [it again:]
12555 but [that] which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
12556 {15:4} Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall
12557 greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for]
12558 an inheritance to possess it: {15:5} Only if thou carefully hearken
12559 unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these
12560 commandments which I command thee this day. {15:6} For the LORD thy God
12561 blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many
12562 nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many
12563 nations,but they shall not reign over thee.
12564
12565 {15:7} If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren
12566 within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee,
12567 thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor
12568 brother: {15:8} But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt
12569 surely lend him sufficient for his need, [in that] which he wanteth.
12570 {15:9} Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying,
12571 The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be
12572 evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry
12573 unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee. {15:10} Thou shalt
12574 surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest
12575 unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee
12576 in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. {15:11}
12577 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command
12578 thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy
12579 poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
12580
12581 {15:12} [And] if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be
12582 sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou
12583 shalt let him go free from thee. {15:13} And when thou sendest him out
12584 free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty: {15:14} Thou
12585 shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and
12586 out of thy winepress: [of that] wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed
12587 thee thou shalt give unto him. {15:15} And thou shalt remember that
12588 thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed
12589 thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day. {15:16} And it shall
12590 be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he
12591 loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee; {15:17} Then
12592 thou shalt take an aul, and thrust [it] through his ear unto the door,
12593 and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant
12594 thou shalt do likewise. {15:18} It shall not seem hard unto thee, when
12595 thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double
12596 hired servant [to thee,] in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy
12597 God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.
12598
12599 {15:19} All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy
12600 flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work
12601 with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy
12602 sheep. {15:20} Thou shalt eat [it] before the LORD thy God year by year
12603 in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.
12604 {15:21} And if there be [any] blemish therein, [as if it be] lame, or
12605 blind, [or have] any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the
12606 LORD thy God. {15:22} Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean
12607 and the clean [person shall eat it] alike, as the roebuck, and as the
12608 hart. {15:23} Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt
12609 pour it upon the ground as water.
12610
12611 {16:1} Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the
12612 LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee
12613 forth out of Egypt by night. {16:2} Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the
12614 passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place
12615 which the LORD shall choose to place his name there. {16:3} Thou shalt
12616 eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened
12617 bread therewith, [even] the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth
12618 out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day
12619 when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy
12620 life. {16:4} And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all
12621 thy coast seven days; neither shall there [any thing] of the flesh,
12622 which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until
12623 the morning. {16:5} Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any
12624 of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee: {16:6} But at the
12625 place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there
12626 thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the
12627 sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt. {16:7} And thou
12628 shalt roast and eat [it] in the place which the LORD thy God shall
12629 choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.
12630 {16:8} Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day
12631 [shall be] a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work
12632 [therein.]
12633
12634 {16:9} Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the
12635 seven weeks from [such time as] thou beginnest [to put] the sickle to
12636 the corn. {16:10} And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD
12637 thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou
12638 shalt give [unto the LORD thy God,] according as the LORD thy God hath
12639 blessed thee: {16:11} And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God,
12640 thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy
12641 maidservant, and the Levite that [is] within thy gates, and the
12642 stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] among you, in
12643 the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.
12644 {16:12} And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and
12645 thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
12646
12647 {16:13} Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days,
12648 after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine: {16:14} And
12649 thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter,
12650 and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger,
12651 and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] within thy gates. {16:15}
12652 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the
12653 place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless
12654 thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands,
12655 therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
12656
12657 {16:16} Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the
12658 LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of
12659 unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of
12660 tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty: {16:17}
12661 Every man [shall give] as he is able, according to the blessing of the
12662 LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
12663
12664 {16:18} Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates,
12665 which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they
12666 shall judge the people with just judgment. {16:19} Thou shalt not wrest
12667 judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a
12668 gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the
12669 righteous. {16:20} That which is altogether just shalt thou follow,
12670 that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God
12671 giveth thee.
12672
12673 {16:21} Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the
12674 altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee. {16:22} Neither
12675 shalt thou set thee up [any] image; which the LORD thy God hateth.
12676
12677 {17:1} Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God [any] bullock,
12678 or sheep, wherein is blemish, [or] any evilfavouredness: for that [is]
12679 an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
12680
12681 {17:2} If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which
12682 the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought
12683 wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his
12684 covenant, {17:3} And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped
12685 them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I
12686 have not commanded; {17:4} And it be told thee, and thou hast heard [of
12687 it,] and enquired diligently, and, behold, [it be] true, [and] the
12688 thing certain, [that] such abomination is wrought in Israel: {17:5}
12689 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have
12690 committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, [even] that man or that
12691 woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die. {17:6} At the
12692 mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of
12693 death be put to death; [but] at the mouth of one witness he shall not
12694 be put to death. {17:7} The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon
12695 him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So
12696 thou shalt put the evil away from among you.
12697
12698 {17:8} If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment,
12699 between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and
12700 stroke, [being] matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt
12701 thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall
12702 choose; {17:9} And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and
12703 unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall
12704 shew thee the sentence of judgment: {17:10} And thou shalt do according
12705 to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose
12706 shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that
12707 they inform thee: {17:11} According to the sentence of the law which
12708 they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall
12709 tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence
12710 which they shall shew thee, [to] the right hand, nor [to] the left.
12711 {17:12} And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken
12712 unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy
12713 God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put
12714 away the evil from Israel. {17:13} And all the people shall hear, and
12715 fear, and do no more presumptuously.
12716
12717 {17:14} When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God
12718 giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt
12719 say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that [are]
12720 about me; {17:15} Thou shalt in any wise set [him] king over thee, whom
12721 the LORD thy God shall choose: [one] from among thy brethren shalt thou
12722 set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which
12723 [is] not thy brother. {17:16} But he shall not multiply horses to
12724 himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he
12725 should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye
12726 shall henceforth return no more that way. {17:17} Neither shall he
12727 multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall
12728 he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. {17:18} And it shall
12729 be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write
12730 him a copy of this law in a book out of [that which is] before the
12731 priests the Levites: {17:19} And it shall be with him, and he shall
12732 read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the
12733 LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to
12734 do them: {17:20} That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren,
12735 and that he turn not aside from the commandment, [to] the right hand,
12736 or [to] the left: to the end that he may prolong [his] days in his
12737 kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
12738
12739 {18:1} The priests the Levites, [and] all the tribe of Levi, shall
12740 have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings
12741 of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance. {18:2} Therefore shall
12742 they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD [is] their
12743 inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
12744
12745 {18:3} And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them
12746 that offer a sacrifice, whether [it be] ox or sheep; and they shall
12747 give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
12748 {18:4} The firstfruit [also] of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine
12749 oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
12750 {18:5} For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to
12751 stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.
12752
12753 {18:6} And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel,
12754 where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the
12755 place which the LORD shall choose; {18:7} Then he shall minister in the
12756 name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites [do,] which
12757 stand there before the LORD. {18:8} They shall have like portions to
12758 eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
12759
12760 {18:9} When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God
12761 giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those
12762 nations. {18:10} There shall not be found among you [any one] that
12763 maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth
12764 divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
12765 {18:11} Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a
12766 wizard, or a necromancer. {18:12} For all that do these things [are] an
12767 abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD
12768 thy God doth drive them out from before thee. {18:13} Thou shalt be
12769 perfect with the LORD thy God. {18:14} For these nations, which thou
12770 shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners:
12771 but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so [to do.]
12772
12773 {18:15} The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the
12774 midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall
12775 hearken; {18:16} According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy
12776 God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again
12777 the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any
12778 more, that I die not. {18:17} And the LORD said unto me, They have well
12779 [spoken that] which they have spoken. {18:18} I will raise them up a
12780 Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my
12781 words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall
12782 command him. {18:19} And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever will
12783 not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will
12784 require [it] of him. {18:20} But the prophet, which shall presume to
12785 speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or
12786 that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall
12787 die. {18:21} And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word
12788 which the LORD hath not spoken? {18:22} When a prophet speaketh in the
12789 name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that [is]
12790 the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken
12791 it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
12792
12793 {19:1} When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land
12794 the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in
12795 their cities, and in their houses; {19:2} Thou shalt separate three
12796 cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth
12797 thee to possess it. {19:3} Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide
12798 the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit,
12799 into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.
12800
12801 {19:4} And this [is] the case of the slayer, which shall flee
12802 thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom
12803 he hated not in time past; {19:5} As when a man goeth into the wood
12804 with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the
12805 axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and
12806 lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of
12807 those cities, and live: {19:6} Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the
12808 slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is
12809 long, and slay him; whereas he [was] not worthy of death, inasmuch as
12810 he hated him not in time past. {19:7} Wherefore I command thee, saying,
12811 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee. {19:8} And if the LORD thy
12812 God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee
12813 all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers; {19:9} If thou
12814 shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this
12815 day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt
12816 thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three: {19:10} That
12817 innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth
12818 thee [for] an inheritance, and [so] blood be upon thee.
12819
12820 {19:11} But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him,
12821 and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth
12822 into one of these cities: {19:12} Then the elders of his city shall
12823 send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger
12824 of blood, that he may die. {19:13} Thine eye shall not pity him, but
12825 thou shalt put away [the guilt of] innocent blood from Israel, that it
12826 may go well with thee.
12827
12828 {19:14} Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they
12829 of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in
12830 the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
12831
12832 {19:15} One witness shall not rise up against a man for any
12833 iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of
12834 two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be
12835 established.
12836
12837 {19:16} If a false witness rise up against any man to testify
12838 against him [that which is] wrong; {19:17} Then both the men, between
12839 whom the controversy [is,] shall stand before the LORD, before the
12840 priests and the judges, which shall be in those days; {19:18} And the
12841 judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, [if] the witness
12842 [be] a false witness, [and] hath testified falsely against his brother;
12843 {19:19} Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto
12844 his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you. {19:20}
12845 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth
12846 commit no more any such evil among you. {19:21} And thine eye shall not
12847 pity; [but] life [shall go] for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth,
12848 hand for hand, foot for foot.
12849
12850 {20:1} When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and
12851 seest horses, and chariots, [and] a people more than thou, be not
12852 afraid of them: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee, which brought thee
12853 up out of the land of Egypt. {20:2} And it shall be, when ye are come
12854 nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the
12855 people, {20:3} And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach
12856 this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint,
12857 fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
12858 {20:4} For the LORD your God [is] he that goeth with you, to fight for
12859 you against your enemies, to save you.
12860
12861 {20:5} And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What
12862 man [is there] that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it?
12863 let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and
12864 another man dedicate it. {20:6} And what man [is he] that hath planted
12865 a vineyard, and hath not [yet] eaten of it? let him [also] go and
12866 return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat
12867 of it. {20:7} And what man [is there] that hath betrothed a wife, and
12868 hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die
12869 in the battle, and another man take her. {20:8} And the officers shall
12870 speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man [is there
12871 that is] fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his
12872 house, lest his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart. {20:9} And
12873 it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the
12874 people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
12875
12876 {20:10} When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then
12877 proclaim peace unto it. {20:11} And it shall be, if it make thee answer
12878 of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, [that] all the people
12879 [that is] found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall
12880 serve thee. {20:12} And if it will make no peace with thee, but will
12881 make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it: {20:13} And when the
12882 LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every
12883 male thereof with the edge of the sword: {20:14} But the women, and the
12884 little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, [even] all
12885 the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the
12886 spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. {20:15}
12887 Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities [which are] very far off from
12888 thee, which [are] not of the cities of these nations. {20:16} But of
12889 the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee [for]
12890 an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth: {20:17}
12891 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; [namely,] the Hittites, and the
12892 Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the
12893 Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee: {20:18} That they
12894 teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done
12895 unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.
12896
12897 {20:19} When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war
12898 against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by
12899 forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou
12900 shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field [is] man's [life])
12901 to employ [them] in the siege: {20:20} Only the trees which thou
12902 knowest that they [be] not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut
12903 them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh
12904 war with thee, until it be subdued.
12905
12906 {21:1} If [one] be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God
12907 giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, [and] it be not known
12908 who hath slain him: {21:2} Then thy elders and thy judges shall come
12909 forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which [are] round about
12910 him that is slain: {21:3} And it shall be, [that] the city [which is]
12911 next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an
12912 heifer, which hath not been wrought with, [and] which hath not drawn in
12913 the yoke; {21:4} And the elders of that city shall bring down the
12914 heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall
12915 strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley: {21:5} And the
12916 priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God
12917 hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD;
12918 and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be [tried:
12919 ]{21:6} And all the elders of that city, [that are] next unto the slain
12920 [man,] shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the
12921 valley: {21:7} And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed
12922 this blood, neither have our eyes seen [it. ]{21:8} Be merciful, O
12923 LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not
12924 innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall
12925 be forgiven them. {21:9} So shalt thou put away the [guilt of] innocent
12926 blood from among you, when thou shalt do [that which is] right in the
12927 sight of the LORD.
12928
12929 {21:10} When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the
12930 LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken
12931 them captive, {21:11} And seest among the captives a beautiful woman,
12932 and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
12933 {21:12} Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall
12934 shave her head, and pare her nails; {21:13} And she shall put the
12935 raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house,
12936 and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou
12937 shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
12938 {21:14} And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou
12939 shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all
12940 for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast
12941 humbled her.
12942
12943 {21:15} If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and
12944 they have born him children, [both] the beloved and the hated; and if
12945 the firstborn son be hers that was hated: {21:16} Then it shall be,
12946 when he maketh his sons to inherit [that] which he hath, [that] he may
12947 not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated,
12948 [which is indeed] the firstborn: {21:17} But he shall acknowledge the
12949 son of the hated [for] the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of
12950 all that he hath: for he [is] the beginning of his strength; the right
12951 of the firstborn [is] his.
12952
12953 {21:18} If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not
12954 obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and [that,]
12955 when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: {21:19} Then
12956 shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto
12957 the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; {21:20} And
12958 they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son [is] stubborn
12959 and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; [he is] a glutton, and a
12960 drunkard. {21:21} And all the men of his city shall stone him with
12961 stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and
12962 all Israel shall hear, and fear.
12963
12964 {21:22} And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be
12965 to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: {21:23} His body shall
12966 not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him
12967 that day; (for he that is hanged [is] accursed of God;) that thy land
12968 be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance.
12969
12970 {22:1} Thou shalt not see the brother's ox or his sheep go astray,
12971 and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again
12972 unto thy brother. {22:2} And if thy brother [be] not nigh unto thee, or
12973 if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house,
12974 and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou
12975 shalt restore it to him again. {22:3} In like manner shalt thou do with
12976 his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost
12977 things of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt
12978 thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.
12979
12980 {22:4} Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by
12981 the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift
12982 [them] up again.
12983
12984 {22:5} The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man,
12985 neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so [are]
12986 abomination unto the LORD thy God.
12987
12988 {22:6} If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any
12989 tree, or on the ground, [whether they be] young ones, or eggs, and the
12990 dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the
12991 dam with the young: {22:7} [But] thou shalt in any wise let the dam go,
12992 and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and [that]
12993 thou mayest prolong [thy] days.
12994
12995 {22:8} When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a
12996 battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if
12997 any man fall from thence.
12998
12999 {22:9} Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the
13000 fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard,
13001 be defiled.
13002
13003 {22:10} Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
13004
13005 {22:11} Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, [as] of
13006 woollen and linen together.
13007
13008 {22:12} Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy
13009 vesture, wherewith thou coverest [thyself.]
13010
13011 {22:13} If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
13012 {22:14} And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil
13013 name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I
13014 found her not a maid: {22:15} Then shall the father of the damsel, and
13015 her mother, take and bring forth [the tokens of] the damsel's virginity
13016 unto the elders of the city in the gate: {22:16} And the damsel's
13017 father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to
13018 wife, and he hateth her; {22:17} And, lo, he hath given occasions of
13019 speech [against her,] saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet
13020 these [are the tokens of] my daughter's virginity. And they shall
13021 spread the cloth before the elders of the city. {22:18} And the elders
13022 of that city shall take that man and chastise him; {22:19} And they
13023 shall amerce him in an hundred [shekels] of silver, and give [them]
13024 unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name
13025 upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her
13026 away all his days. {22:20} But if this thing be true, [and the tokens
13027 of] virginity be not found for the damsel: {22:21} Then they shall
13028 bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of
13029 her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath
13030 wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so
13031 shalt thou put evil away from among you.
13032
13033 {22:22} If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband,
13034 then they shall both of them die, [both] the man that lay with the
13035 woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
13036
13037 {22:23} If a damsel [that is] a virgin be betrothed unto an husband,
13038 and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; {22:24} Then ye shall
13039 bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them
13040 with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, [being]
13041 in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife:
13042 so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
13043
13044 {22:25} But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the
13045 man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her
13046 shall die: {22:26} But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; [there
13047 is] in the damsel no sin [worthy] of death: for as when a man riseth
13048 against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so [is] this matter:
13049 {22:27} For he found her in the field, [and] the betrothed damsel
13050 cried, and [there was] none to save her.
13051
13052 {22:28} If a man find a damsel [that is] a virgin, which is not
13053 betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
13054 {22:29} Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's
13055 father fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he
13056 hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
13057
13058 {22:30} A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his
13059 father's skirt.
13060
13061 {23:1} He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member
13062 cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD. {23:2} A
13063 bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his
13064 tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
13065 {23:3} An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of
13066 the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the
13067 congregation of the LORD for ever: {23:4} Because they met you not with
13068 bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and
13069 because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of
13070 Mesopotamia, to curse thee. {23:5} Nevertheless the LORD thy God would
13071 not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a
13072 blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee. {23:6} Thou
13073 shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
13074
13075 {23:7} Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he [is] thy brother:
13076 thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his
13077 land. {23:8} The children that are begotten of them shall enter into
13078 the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.
13079
13080 {23:9} When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep
13081 thee from every wicked thing.
13082
13083 {23:10} If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason
13084 of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out
13085 of the camp, he shall not come within the camp: {23:11} But it shall
13086 be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash [himself] with water: and
13087 when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp [again.]
13088
13089 {23:12} Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou
13090 shalt go forth abroad: {23:13} And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy
13091 weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt
13092 dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from
13093 thee: {23:14} For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to
13094 deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall
13095 thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away
13096 from thee.
13097
13098 {23:15} Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is
13099 escaped from his master unto thee: {23:16} He shall dwell with thee,
13100 [even] among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy
13101 gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
13102
13103 {23:17} There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a
13104 sodomite of the sons of Israel. {23:18} Thou shalt not bring the hire
13105 of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God
13106 for any vow: for even both these [are] abomination unto the LORD thy
13107 God.
13108
13109 {23:19} Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of
13110 money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
13111 {23:20} Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy
13112 brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless
13113 thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou
13114 goest to possess it.
13115
13116 {23:21} When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt
13117 not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of
13118 thee; and it would be sin in thee. {23:22} But if thou shalt forbear to
13119 vow, it shall be no sin in thee. {23:23} That which is gone out of thy
13120 lips thou shalt keep and perform; [even] a freewill offering, according
13121 as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with
13122 thy mouth.
13123
13124 {23:24} When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou
13125 mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not
13126 put [any] in thy vessel. {23:25} When thou comest into the standing
13127 corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand;
13128 but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.
13129
13130 {24:1} When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to
13131 pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some
13132 uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and
13133 give [it] in her hand, and send her out of his house. {24:2} And when
13134 she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's
13135 [wife. ]{24:3} And [if] the latter husband hate her, and write her a
13136 bill of divorcement, and giveth [it] in her hand, and sendeth her out
13137 of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to [be] his
13138 wife; {24:4} Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her
13139 again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that [is]
13140 abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin,
13141 which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance.
13142
13143 {24:5} When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war,
13144 neither shall he be charged with any business: [but] he shall be free
13145 at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
13146
13147 {24:6} No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to
13148 pledge: for he taketh [a man's] life to pledge.
13149
13150 {24:7} If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the
13151 children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then
13152 that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.
13153
13154 {24:8} Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe
13155 diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall
13156 teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do. {24:9}
13157 Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that
13158 ye were come forth out of Egypt.
13159
13160 {24:10} When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go
13161 into his house to fetch his pledge. {24:11} Thou shalt stand abroad,
13162 and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad
13163 unto thee. {24:12} And if the man [be] poor, thou shalt not sleep with
13164 his pledge: {24:13} In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again
13165 when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and
13166 bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy
13167 God.
13168
13169 {24:14} Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant [that is] poor and
13170 needy, [whether he be] of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that [are]
13171 in thy land within thy gates: {24:15} At his day thou shalt give [him]
13172 his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he [is] poor, and
13173 setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and
13174 it be sin unto thee. {24:16} The fathers shall not be put to death for
13175 the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the
13176 fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
13177
13178 {24:17} Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, [nor]
13179 of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge: {24:18} But
13180 thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy
13181 God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
13182
13183 {24:19} When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast
13184 forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it
13185 shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that
13186 the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands. {24:20}
13187 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs
13188 again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the
13189 widow. {24:21} When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou
13190 shalt not glean [it] afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the
13191 fatherless, and for the widow. {24:22} And thou shalt remember that
13192 thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to
13193 do this thing.
13194
13195 {25:1} If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto
13196 judgment, that [the judges] may judge them; then they shall justify the
13197 righteous, and condemn the wicked. {25:2} And it shall be, if the
13198 wicked man [be] worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to
13199 lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by
13200 a certain number. {25:3} Forty stripes he may give him, [and] not
13201 exceed: lest, [if] he should exceed, and beat him above these with many
13202 stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.
13203
13204 {25:4} Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out [the corn.]
13205
13206 {25:5} If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no
13207 child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger:
13208 her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to
13209 wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her. {25:6} And
13210 it shall be, [that] the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in
13211 the name of his brother [which is] dead, that his name be not put out
13212 of Israel. {25:7} And if the man like not to take his brother's wife,
13213 then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say,
13214 My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in
13215 Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother. {25:8}
13216 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and
13217 [if] he stand [to it,] and say, I like not to take her; {25:9} Then
13218 shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders,
13219 and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall
13220 answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build
13221 up his brother's house. {25:10} And his name shall be called in Israel,
13222 The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.
13223
13224 {25:11} When men strive together one with another, and the wife of
13225 the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him
13226 that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the
13227 secrets: {25:12} Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not
13228 pity [her.]
13229
13230 {25:13} Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a
13231 small. {25:14} Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a
13232 great and a small. {25:15} [But] thou shalt have a perfect and just
13233 weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may
13234 be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. {25:16}
13235 For all that do such things, [and] all that do unrighteously, [are] an
13236 abomination unto the LORD thy God.
13237
13238 {25:17} Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were
13239 come forth out of Egypt; {25:18} How he met thee by the way, and smote
13240 the hindmost of thee, [even] all [that were] feeble behind thee, when
13241 thou [wast] faint and weary; and he feared not God. {25:19} Therefore
13242 it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine
13243 enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee
13244 [for] an inheritance to possess it, [that] thou shalt blot out the
13245 remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget [it.]
13246
13247 {26:1} And it shall be, when thou [art] come in unto the land which
13248 the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance, and possessest it,
13249 and dwellest therein; {26:2} That thou shalt take of the first of all
13250 the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the
13251 LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put [it] in a basket, and shalt go
13252 unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name
13253 there. {26:3} And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those
13254 days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that
13255 I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to
13256 give us. {26:4} And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand,
13257 and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God. {26:5} And thou
13258 shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish
13259 [was] my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with
13260 a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous: {26:6}
13261 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us
13262 hard bondage: {26:7} And when we cried unto the LORD God of our
13263 fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and
13264 our labour, and our oppression: {26:8} And the LORD brought us forth
13265 out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with
13266 great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders: {26:9} And he
13267 hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, [even] a
13268 land that floweth with milk and honey. {26:10} And now, behold, I have
13269 brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me.
13270 And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the
13271 LORD thy God: {26:11} And thou shalt rejoice in every good [thing]
13272 which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house,
13273 thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that [is] among you.
13274
13275 {26:12} When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of
13276 thine increase the third year, [which is] the year of tithing, and hast
13277 given [it] unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the
13278 widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled; {26:13} Then
13279 thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the
13280 hallowed things out of [mine] house, and also have given them unto the
13281 Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow,
13282 according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have
13283 not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten [them:
13284 ]{26:14} I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken
13285 away [ought] thereof for [any] unclean [use,] nor given [ought] thereof
13286 for the dead: [but] I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God,
13287 [and] have done according to all that thou hast commanded me. {26:15}
