Israel Multiplies in Egypt

Now these 428 are the names 8034 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 who came 935 to Egypt 4714 with Jacob 3290; they came 935 each 376 one 376 with his household 1004:
2 Reuben 7205, Simeon 8095, Levi 3878 and Judah 3063;
3 Issachar 3485, Zebulun 2074 and Benjamin 1144;
4 Dan 1835 and Naphtali 5321, Gad 1410 and Asher 836.
5 All 3605 the persons 5315 who came 3318 from the loins 3409 of Jacob 3290 were seventy 7657 in number 5315, but Joseph 3130 was {already} in Egypt 4714.
6 Joseph 3130 died 4191, and all 3605 his brothers 251 and all 3605 that generation 1755.
7 But the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 were fruitful 6509 and increased 8317 greatly 8317, and multiplied 7235, and became 6105 exceedingly 3966 mighty 6105, so that the land 776 was filled 4390 with them.
8 ¶ Now a new 2319 king 4428 arose 6965 over 5921 Egypt 4714, who 834 did not know 3045 Joseph 3130.
9 He said 559 to his people 5971, "Behold 2009, the people 5971 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 are more 7227 and mightier 6099 than 4480 we.
10 "Come 3051, let us deal 2449 wisely 2449 with them, or 6435 else 6435 they will multiply 7235 and in the event of war 4421, they will also 1571 join 3254 themselves to those who 834 hate 8130 us, and fight 3898 against us and depart 5927 from the land 776."
11 So they appointed 7760 taskmasters over 5921 them to afflict 6031 them with hard 5450 labor 5450. And they built 1129 for Pharaoh 6547 storage 4543 cities 5892, Pithom 6619 and Raamses 7486.
12 But the more 3512 they afflicted 6031 them, the more 3651 they multiplied 7235 and the more 3651 they spread 6555 out, so that they were in dread 6973 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
13 The Egyptians 4714 compelled the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 to labor 5647 rigorously 6531;
14 and they made 4843 their lives 2425 bitter 4843 with hard 7186 labor 5656 in mortar 2563 and bricks 3843 and at all 3605 {kinds} of labor 5656 in the field 7704, all 3605 their labors 5656 which 834 they rigorously 6531 imposed 5647 on them.
15 ¶ Then the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 spoke 559 to the Hebrew 5680 midwives 3205, one 259 of whom 834 was named 8034 Shiphrah 8236 and the other 8145 was named 8034 Puah 6326;
16 and he said 559, "When you are helping the Hebrew 5680 women 5680 to give 3205 birth 3205 and see 7200 {them} upon the birthstool 70, if 518 it is a son 1121, then you shall put 4191 him to death 4191; but if 518 it is a daughter 1323, then she shall live 2421."
17 But the midwives 3205 feared 3372 God 430, and did not do 6213 as the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 had commanded 1696 them, but let the boys 3206 live 2421.
18 So the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 called 7121 for the midwives 3205 and said 559 to them, "Why 4069 have you done 6213 this 2088 thing 1697, and let the boys 3206 live 2421?"
19 The midwives 3205 said 559 to Pharaoh 6547, "Because 3588 the Hebrew 5680 women 5680 are not as the Egyptian 4713 women 802; for they are vigorous 2422 and give 3205 birth 3205 before 2962 the midwife 3205 can 935 get 935 to them."
20 So God 430 was good 3190 to the midwives 3205, and the people 5971 multiplied 7235, and became 6105 very 3966 mighty 6105.
21 Because 3588 the midwives 3205 feared 3372 God 430, He established 6213 households 1004 for them.
22 Then Pharaoh 6547 commanded 6680 all 3605 his people 5971, saying 559, "Every 3605 son 1121 who is born 3209 you are to cast 7993 into the Nile 2975, and every 3605 daughter 1323 you are to keep 2421 alive 2421."

Chapter 2

The Birth of Moses

Now a man 376 from the house 1004 of Levi 3878 went 1980 and married 3947 a daughter 1323 of Levi 3878.
2 The woman 802 conceived 2029 and bore 3205 a son 1121; and when she saw 7200 that he was beautiful 2896, she hid 6845 him for three 7969 months 3391.
3 But when she could 3201 hide 6845 him no 3808 longer 5750, she got 3947 him a wicker 1573 basket 8392 and covered 2560 it over with tar 2564 and pitch 2203. Then she put 7760 the child 3206 into it and set 7760 {it} among the reeds 5488 by the bank 8193 of the Nile 2975.
4 His sister 269 stood 3320 at a distance 7350 to find 3045 out what 4100 would happen 6213 to him.
5 ¶ The daughter 1323 of Pharaoh 6547 came 3381 down 3381 to bathe 7364 at the Nile 2975, with her maidens 5291 walking 1980 alongside the Nile 2975; and she saw 7200 the basket 8392 among 8432 the reeds 5488 and sent 7971 her maid 519, and she brought 3947 it {to her.}
6 When she opened 6605 {it,} she saw 7200 the child 3206, and behold 2009, {the} boy 5288 was crying 1058. And she had 2550 pity 2550 on him and said 559, "This 2088 is one 4480 of the Hebrews' 5680 children 3206."
7 Then his sister 269 said 559 to Pharaoh's 6547 daughter 1323, "Shall I go 1980 and call 7121 a nurse 3243 for you from the Hebrew 5680 women 5680 that she may nurse 3243 the child 3206 for you?"
8 Pharaoh's 6547 daughter 1323 said 559 to her, "Go 1980 {ahead.}" So the girl 5959 went 1980 and called 7121 the child's 3206 mother 517.
9 Then Pharaoh's 6547 daughter 1323 said 559 to her, "Take 1980 this 2088 child 3206 away and nurse 3243 him for me and I will give 5414 {you} your wages 7939." So the woman 802 took 3947 the child 3206 and nursed 5134 him.
10 The child 3206 grew 1431, and she brought 935 him to Pharaoh's 6547 daughter 1323 and he became 1961 her son 1121. And she named him Moses 4872, and said 559, "Because 3588 I drew 4871 him out of the water 4325."
11 ¶ Now it came 1961 about in those 1992 days 3117, when Moses 4872 had grown 1431 up, that he went 3318 out to his brethren 251 and looked 7200 on their hard 5450 labors 5450; and he saw 7200 an Egyptian 4713 beating 5221 a Hebrew 5680, one 4480 of his brethren 251.
12 So he looked 6437 this 3541 way 3541 and that, and when he saw 7200 there 369 was no 369 one 376 {around,} he struck 5221 down 5221 the Egyptian 4713 and hid 2934 him in the sand 2344.
13 He went 3318 out the next 8145 day 3117, and behold 2009, two 8147 Hebrews 5680 were fighting 5327 with each other; and he said 559 to the offender 7563, "Why 4100 are you striking 5221 your companion 7453?"
14 But he said 559, "Who 4310 made 7760 you a prince 8269 or a judge 8199 over 5921 us? Are you intending 559 to kill 2026 me as you killed 2026 the Egyptian 4713?" Then Moses 4872 was afraid 3372 and said 559, "Surely 403 the matter 1697 has become known 3045."
15

Moses Escapes to Midian

When Pharaoh 6547 heard 8085 of this 2088 matter 1697, he tried 1245 to kill 2026 Moses 4872. But Moses 4872 fled 1272 from the presence 6440 of Pharaoh 6547 and settled 3427 in the land 776 of Midian 4080, and he sat 3427 down 3427 by a well 875.
16 ¶ Now the priest 3548 of Midian 4080 had seven 7651 daughters 1323; and they came 935 to draw 1802 water 1802 and filled 4390 the troughs 7298 to water 8248 their father's 1 flock 6629.
17 Then the shepherds 7462 came 935 and drove 1644 them away 1644, but Moses 4872 stood 6965 up and helped 3467 them and watered 8248 their flock 6629.
18 When they came 935 to Reuel 7467 their father 1, he said 559, "Why 4069 have you come 935 {back} so soon 4116 today 3117?"
19 So they said 559, "An Egyptian 4713 delivered 5337 us from the hand 3027 of the shepherds 7462, and what 1571 is more 1571, he even 1571 drew 1802 the water 1802 for us and watered 8248 the flock 6629."
20 He said 559 to his daughters 1323, "Where 335 is he then? Why 4100 is it that you have left 5800 the man 376 behind 5800? Invite 7121 him to have something 3899 to eat 398."
21 Moses 4872 was willing 2974 to dwell 3427 with the man 376, and he gave 5414 his daughter 1323 Zipporah 6855 to Moses 4872.
22 Then she gave 3205 birth 3205 to a son 1121, and he named him Gershom 1647, for he said 559, "I have been 1961 a sojourner 1616 in a foreign 5237 land 776."
23 ¶ Now it came 1961 about in {the course of} those 1992 many 7227 days 3117 that the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 died 4191. And the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 sighed 584 because 4480 of the bondage 5656, and they cried 2199 out; and their cry 7775 for help 7775 because 4480 of {their} bondage 5656 rose 5927 up to God 430.
24 So God 430 heard 8085 their groaning 5009; and God 430 remembered 2142 His covenant 1285 with Abraham 85, Isaac 3327, and Jacob 3290.
25 God 430 saw 7200 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and God 430 took 3045 notice 3045 {of them.}

Chapter 3

The Burning Bush

Now Moses 4872 was pasturing 7462 the flock 6629 of Jethro 3503 his father-in-law 2860, the priest 3548 of Midian 4080; and he led 5090 the flock 6629 to the west 310 side 310 of the wilderness 4057 and came 935 to Horeb 2722, the mountain 2022 of God 430.
2 The angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 to him in a blazing 3852 fire 784 from the midst 8432 of a bush 5572; and he looked 7200, and behold 2009, the bush 5572 was burning 1197 with fire 784, yet the bush 5572 was not consumed 398.
3 So Moses 4872 said 559, "I must turn 5493 aside 5493 now 4994 and see 7200 this 2088 marvelous 1419 sight 4758, why 4069 the bush 5572 is not burned 1197 up."
4 When the LORD 3068 saw 7200 that he turned 5493 aside 5493 to look 7200, God 430 called 7121 to him from the midst 8432 of the bush 5572 and said 559, "Moses 4872, Moses 4872!" And he said 559, "Here 2009 I am."
5 Then He said 559, "Do not come 7126 near 7126 here 1988; remove 5394 your sandals 5275 from your feet 7272, for the place 4725 on which 834 you are standing 5975 is holy 6944 ground 127."
6 He said 559 also, "I am the God 430 of your father 1, the God 430 of Abraham 85, the God 430 of Isaac 3327, and the God 430 of Jacob 3290." Then Moses 4872 hid 5641 his face 6440, for he was afraid 3372 to look 5027 at God 430.
7 ¶ The LORD 3068 said 559, "I have surely 7200 seen 7200 the affliction 6040 of My people 5971 who 834 are in Egypt 4714, and have given 8085 heed 8085 to their cry 6818 because of their taskmasters 5065, for I am aware 3045 of their sufferings 4341.
8 "So I have come 3381 down 3381 to deliver 5337 them from the power 3027 of the Egyptians 4714, and to bring 5927 them up from that land 776 to a good 2896 and spacious 7342 land 776, to a land 776 flowing 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706, to the place 4725 of the Canaanite 3669 and the Hittite 2850 and the Amorite 567 and the Perizzite 6522 and the Hivite 2340 and the Jebusite 2983.
9 "Now 6258, behold 2009, the cry 6818 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 has come 935 to Me; furthermore 1571, I have seen 7200 the oppression 3906 with which 834 the Egyptians 4714 are oppressing 3905 them.
10

The Mission of Moses

"Therefore, come 1980 now 6258, and I will send 7971 you to Pharaoh 6547, so that you may bring 3318 My people 5971, the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, out of Egypt 4714."
11 But Moses 4872 said 559 to God 430, "Who 4310 am I, that I should go 1980 to Pharaoh 6547, and that I should bring 3318 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 out of Egypt 4714?"
12 And He said 559, "Certainly 3588 I will be with you, and this 2088 shall be the sign 226 to you that it is I who have sent 7971 you: when you have brought 3318 the people 5971 out of Egypt 4714, you shall worship 5647 God 430 at this 2088 mountain 2022."
13 ¶ Then Moses 4872 said 559 to God 430, "Behold 2009, I am going 935 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and I will say 559 to them, 'The God 430 of your fathers 1 has sent 7971 me to you.' Now they may say 559 to me, 'What 4100 is His name 8034?' What 4100 shall I say 559 to them?"
14 God 430 said 559 to Moses 4872, "I AM 1961 WHO 834 I AM 1961"; and He said 559, "Thus 3541 you shall say 559 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, 'I AM 1961 has sent 7971 me to you.'"
15 God 430, furthermore 5750, said 559 to Moses 4872, "Thus 3541 you shall say 559 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, 'The LORD 3068, the God 430 of your fathers 1, the God 430 of Abraham 85, the God 430 of Isaac 3327, and the God 430 of Jacob 3290, has sent 7971 me to you.' This 2088 is My name 8034 forever 5769, and this 2088 is My memorial-name 2143 to all 1755 generations 1755.
16 "Go 1980 and gather 622 the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 together and say 559 to them, 'The LORD 3068, the God 430 of your fathers 1, the God 430 of Abraham 85, Isaac 3327 and Jacob 3290, has appeared 7200 to me, saying 559, "I am 6485 indeed 6485 concerned 6485 about you and what has been done 6213 to you in Egypt 4714.
17 "So I said 559, I will bring 5927 you up out of the affliction 6040 of Egypt 4714 to the land 776 of the Canaanite 3669 and the Hittite 2850 and the Amorite 567 and the Perizzite 6522 and the Hivite 2340 and the Jebusite 2983, to a land 776 flowing 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706."'
18 "They will pay 8085 heed 8085 to what 6963 you say 6963; and you with the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 will come 935 to the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 and you will say 559 to him, 'The LORD 3068, the God 430 of the Hebrews 5680, has met 7136 with us. So now 6258, please 4994, let us go 1980 a three 7969 days' 3117 journey 1870 into the wilderness 4057, that we may sacrifice 2076 to the LORD 3068 our God 430.'
19 "But I know 3045 that the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 will not permit 5414 you to go 1980, except 3808 under compulsion.
20 "So I will stretch 7971 out My hand 3027 and strike 5221 Egypt 4714 with all 3605 My miracles 6381 which 834 I shall do 6213 in the midst 7130 of it; and after 310 that he will let you go 7971.
21 "I will grant 5414 this 2088 people 5971 favor 2580 in the sight 5869 of the Egyptians 4714; and it shall be that when you go 1980, you will not go 1980 empty-handed 7387.
22 "But every woman 802 shall ask 7592 of her neighbor 7934 and the woman who lives 1481 in her house 1004, articles 3627 of silver 3701 and articles 3627 of gold 2091, and clothing 8071; and you will put 7760 them on your sons 1121 and daughters 1323. Thus you will plunder 5337 the Egyptians 4714."

Chapter 4

Moses Given Powers

Then Moses 4872 said 559, "What if 2005 they will not believe 539 me or listen 8085 to what 6963 I say 6963? For they may say 559, 'The LORD 3068 has not appeared 7200 to you.'"
2 The LORD 3068 said 559 to him, "What 4100 is that in your hand 3027?" And he said 559, "A staff 4294."
3 Then He said 559, "Throw 7993 it on the ground 776." So he threw 7993 it on the ground 776, and it became 1961 a serpent 5175; and Moses 4872 fled 5127 from it.
4 But the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Stretch 7971 out your hand 3027 and grasp 270 {it} by its tail 2180"--so he stretched 7971 out his hand 3027 and caught 2388 it, and it became 1961 a staff 4294 in his hand 3709--
5 "that they may believe 539 that the LORD 3068, the God 430 of their fathers 1, the God 430 of Abraham 85, the God 430 of Isaac 3327, and the God 430 of Jacob 3290, has appeared 7200 to you."
6 ¶ The LORD 3068 furthermore 5750 said 559 to him, "Now 4994 put 935 your hand 3027 into your bosom 2436." So he put 935 his hand 3027 into his bosom 2436, and when he took 3318 it out, behold 2009, his hand 3027 was leprous 6879 like snow 7950.
7 Then He said 559, "Put 7725 your hand 3027 into your bosom 2436 again 7725." So he put 7725 his hand 3027 into his bosom 2436 again 7725, and when he took 3318 it out of his bosom 2436, behold 2009, it was restored 7725 like {the rest of} his flesh 1320.
8 "If 518 they will not believe 539 you or heed 8085 the witness 6963 of the first 7223 sign 226, they may believe 539 the witness 6963 of the last 314 sign 226.
9 "But if 518 they will not believe 539 even 1571 these 428 two 8147 signs 226 or heed 8085 what 6963 you say 6963, then you shall take 3947 some 4480 water 4325 from the Nile 2975 and pour 8210 it on the dry 3004 ground 3004; and the water 4325 which 834 you take 3947 from the Nile 2975 will become 1961 blood 1818 on the dry 3006 ground 3006."
10 ¶ Then Moses 4872 said 559 to the LORD 3068, "Please 994, Lord 136, I have never 3808 been eloquent, neither 1571 recently nor 1571 in time 8032 past 8032, nor 1571 since 3975 You have spoken 1696 to Your servant 5650; for I am slow 3515 of speech 6310 and slow 3515 of tongue 3956."
11 The LORD 3068 said 559 to him, "Who 4310 has made 7760 man's 120 mouth 6310? Or 176 who 4310 makes 7760 {him} mute 483 or 176 deaf 2795, or 176 seeing 6493 or 176 blind 5787? Is it not I, the LORD 3068?
12 "Now 6258 then go 1980, and I, even I, will be with your mouth 6310, and teach 3384 you what 834 you are to say 1696."
13 But he said 559, "Please 994, Lord 136, now 4994 send 7971 {the message} by whomever You will 7971."
14

Aaron to Be Moses' Mouthpiece

Then the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 burned 2734 against Moses 4872, and He said 559, "Is there not your brother 251 Aaron 175 the Levite 3881? I know 3045 that he speaks 1696 fluently 1696. And moreover 1571, behold 2009, he is coming 3318 out to meet 7122 you; when he sees 7200 you, he will be glad 8055 in his heart 3820.
15 "You are to speak 1696 to him and put 7760 the words 1697 in his mouth 6310; and I, even I, will be with your mouth 6310 and his mouth 6310, and I will teach 3384 you what 834 you are to do 6213.
16 "Moreover, he shall speak 1696 for you to the people 5971; and he will be as a mouth 6310 for you and you will be as God 430 to him.
17 "You shall take 3947 in your hand 3027 this 2088 staff 4294, with which 834 you shall perform 6213 the signs 226."
18 ¶ Then Moses 4872 departed 1980 and returned 7725 to Jethro 3500 his father-in-law 2860 and said 559 to him, "Please 4994, let me go 1980, that I may return 7725 to my brethren 251 who 834 are in Egypt 4714, and see 7200 if they are still 5750 alive 2416." And Jethro 3503 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Go 1980 in peace 7965."
19 Now the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872 in Midian 4080, "Go 1980 back 7725 to Egypt 4714, for all 3605 the men 376 who were seeking 1245 your life 5315 are dead 4191."
20 So Moses 4872 took 3947 his wife 802 and his sons 1121 and mounted 7392 them on a donkey 2543, and returned 7725 to the land 776 of Egypt 4714. Moses 4872 also took 3947 the staff 4294 of God 430 in his hand 3027.
21 ¶ The LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "When you go 1980 back 7725 to Egypt 4714 see 7200 that you perform 6213 before 6440 Pharaoh 6547 all 3605 the wonders 4159 which 834 I have put 7760 in your power 3027; but I will harden 2388 his heart 3820 so that he will not let 7971 the people 5971 go 7971.
22 "Then you shall say 559 to Pharaoh 6547, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "Israel 3478 is My son 1121, My firstborn 1060.
23 "So I said 559 to you, 'Let 7971 My son 1121 go 7971 that he may serve 5647 Me'; but you have refused 3985 to let 7971 him go 7971. Behold 2009, I will kill 2026 your son 1121, your firstborn 1060."'"
24 ¶ Now it came 1961 about at the lodging 4411 place 4411 on the way 1870 that the LORD 3068 met 6298 him and sought 1245 to put 4191 him to death 4191.
25 Then Zipporah 6855 took 3947 a flint 6864 and cut 3772 off 3772 her son's 1121 foreskin 6190 and threw 5060 it at Moses' feet 7272, and she said 559, "You are indeed 3588 a bridegroom 2860 of blood 1818 to me."
26 So He let 7503 him alone 7503. At that time 227 she said 559, "{You are} a bridegroom 2860 of blood 1818"--because of the circumcision 4139.
27 ¶ Now the LORD 3068 said 559 to Aaron 175, "Go 1980 to meet 7122 Moses 4872 in the wilderness 4057." So he went 1980 and met 6298 him at the mountain 2022 of God 430 and kissed 5401 him.
28 Moses 4872 told 5046 Aaron 175 all 3605 the words 1697 of the LORD 3068 with which 834 He had sent 7971 him, and all 3605 the signs 226 that He had commanded 6680 him {to do.}
29 Then Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 went 1980 and assembled 622 all 3605 the elders 2205 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478;
30 and Aaron 175 spoke 1696 all 3605 the words 1697 which 834 the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 to Moses 4872. He then performed 6213 the signs 226 in the sight 5869 of the people 5971.
31 So the people 5971 believed 539; and when they heard 8085 that the LORD 3068 was concerned 6485 about the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and that He had seen 7200 their affliction 6040, then they bowed 6915 low 6915 and worshiped 7812.

Chapter 5

Israel's Labor Increased

And afterward 310 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 came 935 and said 559 to Pharaoh 6547, "Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, 'Let 7971 My people 5971 go 7971 that they may celebrate 2287 a feast 2287 to Me in the wilderness 4057.'"
2 But Pharaoh 6547 said 559, "Who 4310 is the LORD 3068 that I should obey 8085 His voice 6963 to let 7971 Israel 3478 go 7971? I do not know 3045 the LORD 3068, and besides 1571, I will not let 7971 Israel 3478 go 7971."
3 Then they said 559, "The God 430 of the Hebrews 5680 has met 7122 with us. Please 4994, let us go 1980 a three 7969 days' 3117 journey 1870 into the wilderness 4057 that we may sacrifice 2076 to the LORD 3068 our God 430, otherwise 6435 He will fall 6293 upon us with pestilence 1698 or 176 with the sword 2719."
4 But the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 said 559 to them, "Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, why 4100 do you draw 6544 the people 5971 away 6544 from their work 4639? Get 1980 {back} to your labors 5450!"
5 Again Pharaoh 6547 said 559, "Look 2005, the people 5971 of the land 776 are now 6258 many 7227, and you would have them cease 7673 from their labors 5450!"
6 So the same 1931 day 3117 Pharaoh 6547 commanded 6680 the taskmasters 5065 over the people 5971 and their foremen 7860, saying 559,
7 "You are no 3808 longer 3254 to give 5414 the people 5971 straw 8401 to make 3835 brick 3835 as previously; let them go 1980 and gather 7197 straw 8401 for themselves 1992.
8 "But the quota 4971 of bricks 3843 which 834 they were making 6213 previously, you shall impose 7760 on them; you are not to reduce 1639 any 4480 of it. Because 3588 they are lazy 7503, therefore they cry 6817 out, 'Let us go 1980 and sacrifice 2076 to our God 430.'
9 "Let the labor 5656 be heavier 3513 on the men 376, and let them work 6213 at it so that they will pay 8159 no 408 attention 8159 to false 8267 words 1697."
10 ¶ So the taskmasters 5065 of the people 5971 and their foremen 7860 went 3318 out and spoke 559 to the people 5971, saying 559, "Thus 3541 says 559 Pharaoh 6547, 'I am not going to give 5414 you {any} straw 8401.
11 'You go 1980 {and} get 3947 straw 8401 for yourselves wherever you can find 4672 {it,} but none 369 of your labor 5656 will be reduced 1639.'"
12 So the people 5971 scattered 6327 through all 3605 the land 776 of Egypt 4714 to gather 7197 stubble 7179 for straw 8401.
13 The taskmasters 5065 pressed 213 them, saying 559, "Complete 3615 your work 4639 quota 4639, {your} daily 3117 amount, just 3512 as when you had 1961 straw 8401."
14 Moreover, the foremen 7860 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, whom 834 Pharaoh's 6547 taskmasters 5065 had set 7760 over 5921 them, were beaten 5221 and were asked 559, "Why 4069 have you not completed 3615 your required 2706 amount 2706 either 1571 yesterday 8543 or 1571 today 3117 in making 3835 brick 3835 as previously?"
15 ¶ Then the foremen 7860 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 came 935 and cried 6817 out to Pharaoh 6547, saying 559, "Why 4100 do you deal 6213 this 3541 way 3541 with your servants 5650?
16 "There 369 is no 369 straw 8401 given 5414 to your servants 5650, yet they keep saying 559 to us, 'Make 6213 bricks 3843!' And behold 2009, your servants 5650 are being beaten 5221; but it is the fault 2398 of your {own} people 5971."
17 But he said 559, "You are lazy 7503, {very} lazy 7503; therefore you say 559, 'Let us go 1980 {and} sacrifice 2076 to the LORD 3068.'
18 "So go 1980 now 6258 {and} work 5647; for you will be given 5414 no 3808 straw 8401, yet you must deliver 5414 the quota 8506 of bricks 3843."
19 The foremen 7860 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 saw 7200 that they were in trouble 7451 because they were told 559, "You must not reduce 1639 {your} daily 3117 amount of bricks 3843."
20 When they left 3318 Pharaoh's 6547 presence, they met 6293 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 as they were waiting 5324 for them.
21 They said 559 to them, "May the LORD 3068 look 7200 upon you and judge 8199 {you,} for you have made 887 us odious in Pharaoh's 6547 sight 5869 and in the sight 5869 of his servants 5650, to put 5414 a sword 2719 in their hand 3027 to kill 2026 us."
22 ¶ Then Moses 4872 returned 7725 to the LORD 3068 and said 559, "O Lord 136, why 4100 have You brought 7489 harm 7489 to this 2088 people 5971? Why 4100 did You ever 2088 send 7971 me?
23 "Ever since 3975 I came 935 to Pharaoh 6547 to speak 1696 in Your name 8034, he has done 7489 harm 7489 to this 2088 people 5971, and You have not delivered 5337 Your people 5971 at all 5337."

Chapter 6

God Promises Action

Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Now 6258 you shall see 7200 what 834 I will do 6213 to Pharaoh 6547; for under compulsion he will let 7971 them go 7971, and under compulsion he will drive 1644 them out of his land 776."
2 ¶ God 430 spoke 1696 further to Moses 4872 and said 559 to him, "I am the LORD 3068;
3 and I appeared 7200 to Abraham 85, Isaac 3327, and Jacob 3290, as God 410 Almighty 7706, but {by} My name 8034, LORD 3068, I did not make 3045 Myself known 3045 to them.
4 "I also 1571 established 6965 My covenant 1285 with them, to give 5414 them the land 776 of Canaan 3667, the land 776 in which 834 they sojourned 1481.
5 "Furthermore 1571 I have heard 8085 the groaning 5009 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, because 834 the Egyptians 4714 are holding 5647 them in bondage 5647, and I have remembered 2142 My covenant 1285.
6 "Say 559, therefore 3651, to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, 'I am the LORD 3068, and I will bring 3318 you out from under 8478 the burdens 5450 of the Egyptians 4714, and I will deliver 5337 you from their bondage 5656. I will also redeem 1350 you with an outstretched 5186 arm 2220 and with great 1419 judgments 8201.
7 'Then I will take 3947 you for My people 5971, and I will be your God 430; and you shall know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068 your God 430, who brought 3318 you out from under 8478 the burdens 5450 of the Egyptians 4714.
8 'I will bring 935 you to the land 776 which 834 I swore to give 5414 to Abraham 85, Isaac 3327, and Jacob 3290, and I will give 5414 it to you {for} a possession 4181; I am the LORD 3068.'"
9 So Moses 4872 spoke 1696 thus 3651 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, but they did not listen 8085 to Moses 4872 on account 4480 of {their} despondency and cruel 7186 bondage 5656.
10 ¶ Now the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
11 "Go 935, tell 1696 Pharaoh 6547 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 to let 7971 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 go 7971 out of his land 776."
12 But Moses 4872 spoke 1696 before 6440 the LORD 3068, saying 559, "Behold 2005, the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 have not listened 8085 to me; how 349 then will Pharaoh 6547 listen 8085 to me, for I am unskilled 6189 in speech 8193?"
13 Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 and to Aaron 175, and gave 6680 them a charge 6680 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and to Pharaoh 6547 king 4428 of Egypt 4714, to bring 3318 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714.

The Heads of Israel

¶ These 428 are the heads 7218 of their fathers' 1 households 1004. The sons 1121 of Reuben 7205, Israel's 3478 firstborn 1060: Hanoch 2585 and Pallu 6396, Hezron 2696 and Carmi 3756; these 428 are the families 4940 of Reuben 7205.
15 The sons 1121 of Simeon 8095: Jemuel 3223 and Jamin 3226 and Ohad 161 and Jachin 3199 and Zohar 6714 and Shaul 7586 the son 1121 of a Canaanite 3669 woman 3669; these 428 are the families 4940 of Simeon 8095.
16 These 428 are the names 8034 of the sons 1121 of Levi 3878 according to their generations 8435: Gershon 1648 and Kohath 6955 and Merari 4847; and the length 8141 of Levi's 3878 life 2425 was one hundred 3967 and thirty-seven years 8141.
17 The sons 1121 of Gershon 1648: Libni 3845 and Shimei 8096, according to their families 4940.
18 The sons 1121 of Kohath 6955: Amram 6019 and Izhar 3324 and Hebron 2275 and Uzziel 5816; and the length 8141 of Kohath's 6955 life 2425 was one hundred 3967 and thirty-three years 8141.
19 The sons 1121 of Merari 4847: Mahli 4249 and Mushi 4187. These 428 are the families 4940 of the Levites 3881 according to their generations 8435.
20 Amram 6019 married his father's 1733 sister 1733 Jochebed 3115, and she bore 3205 him Aaron 175 and Moses 4872; and the length 8141 of Amram's 6019 life 2425 was one hundred 3967 and thirty-seven years 8141.
21 The sons 1121 of Izhar 3324: Korah 7141 and Nepheg 5298 and Zichri 2147.
22 The sons 1121 of Uzziel 5816: Mishael 4332 and Elzaphan 469 and Sithri 5644.
23 Aaron 175 married Elisheba 472, the daughter 1323 of Amminadab 5992, the sister 269 of Nahshon 5177, and she bore 3205 him Nadab 5070 and Abihu 30, Eleazar 499 and Ithamar 385.
24 The sons 1121 of Korah 7141: Assir 617 and Elkanah 511 and Abiasaph 23; these 428 are the families 4940 of the Korahites 7145.
25 Aaron's 175 son 1121 Eleazar 499 married one 4480 of the daughters 1323 of Putiel 6317, and she bore 3205 him Phinehas 6372. These 428 are the heads 7218 of the fathers' 1 {households} of the Levites 3881 according to their families 4940.
26 It was {the same} Aaron 175 and Moses 4872 to whom 834 the LORD 3068 said 559, "Bring 3318 out the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 from the land 776 of Egypt 4714 according 5921 to their hosts 6635."
27 They were the ones who spoke 1696 to Pharaoh 6547 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 about bringing 3318 out the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 from Egypt 4714; it was {the same} Moses 4872 and Aaron 175.
28 ¶ Now it came 1961 about on the day 3117 when the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714,
29 that the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559, "I am the LORD 3068; speak 1696 to Pharaoh 6547 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 all 3605 that I speak 1696 to you."
30 But Moses 4872 said 559 before 6440 the LORD 3068, "Behold 2005, I am unskilled 6189 in speech 8193; how 349 then will Pharaoh 6547 listen 8085 to me?"

Chapter 7

``I Will Stretch Out My Hand"

Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "See 7200, I make 5414 you {as} God 430 to Pharaoh 6547, and your brother 251 Aaron 175 shall be your prophet 5030.
2 "You shall speak 1696 all 3605 that I command 6680 you, and your brother 251 Aaron 175 shall speak 1696 to Pharaoh 6547 that he let 7971 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 go 7971 out of his land 776.
3 "But I will harden 7185 Pharaoh's 6547 heart 3820 that I may multiply 7235 My signs 226 and My wonders 4159 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
4 "When Pharaoh 6547 does not listen 8085 to you, then I will lay 5414 My hand 3027 on Egypt 4714 and bring 3318 out My hosts 6635, My people 5971 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, from the land 776 of Egypt 4714 by great 1419 judgments 8201.
5 "The Egyptians 4714 shall know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068, when I stretch 5186 out My hand 3027 on Egypt 4714 and bring 3318 out the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 from their midst 8432."
6 So Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 did 6213 {it;} as the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 them, thus 3651 they did 6213.
7 Moses 4872 was eighty 8084 years 8141 old 1121 and Aaron 175 eighty-three 8084, when they spoke 1696 to Pharaoh 6547.
8

Aaron's Rod Becomes a Serpent

¶ Now the LORD 3068 spoke 559 to Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, saying 559,
9 "When 3588 Pharaoh 6547 speaks 1696 to you, saying 559, 'Work 5414 a miracle 4159,' then you shall say 559 to Aaron 175, 'Take 3947 your staff 4294 and throw 7993 {it} down 7993 before 6440 Pharaoh 6547, {that} it may become 1961 a serpent 8577.'"
10 So Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 came 935 to Pharaoh 6547, and thus 3651 they did 6213 just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680; and Aaron 175 threw 7993 his staff 4294 down 7993 before 6440 Pharaoh 6547 and his servants 5650, and it became 1961 a serpent 8577.
11 Then Pharaoh 6547 also 1571 called 7121 for {the} wise 2450 men 2450 and {the} sorcerers 3784, and they also 1571, the magicians 2748 of Egypt 4714, did 6213 the same 3651 with their secret 3909 arts 3909.
12 For each 376 one 376 threw 7993 down 7993 his staff 4294 and they turned 1961 into serpents 8577. But Aaron's 175 staff 4294 swallowed 1104 up their staffs 4294.
13 Yet Pharaoh's 6547 heart 3820 was hardened 2388, and he did not listen 8085 to them, as the LORD 3068 had said 1696.
14

Water Is Turned to Blood

¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Pharaoh's 6547 heart 3820 is stubborn 3515; he refuses 3985 to let 7971 the people 5971 go 7971.
15 "Go 1980 to Pharaoh 6547 in the morning 1242 as he is going 3318 out to the water 4325, and station 5324 yourself 5324 to meet 7122 him on the bank 8193 of the Nile 2975; and you shall take 3947 in your hand 3027 the staff 4294 that was turned 2015 into a serpent 5175.
16 "You shall say 559 to him, 'The LORD 3068, the God 430 of the Hebrews 5680, sent 7971 me to you, saying 559, "Let 7971 My people 5971 go 7971, that they may serve 5647 Me in the wilderness 4057. But behold 2009, you have not listened 8085 until 5704 now 3541."
17 'Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "By this 2088 you shall know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068: behold 2009, I will strike 5221 the water 4325 that is in the Nile 2975 with the staff 4294 that is in my hand 3027, and it will be turned 2015 to blood 1818.
18 "The fish 1710 that are in the Nile 2975 will die 4191, and the Nile 2975 will become 887 foul 887, and the Egyptians 4714 will find 3811 difficulty 3811 in drinking 8354 water 4325 from the Nile 2975."'"
19 Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Say 559 to Aaron 175, 'Take 3947 your staff 4294 and stretch 5186 out your hand 3027 over 5921 the waters 4325 of Egypt 4714, over 5921 their rivers 5104, over 5921 their streams 2975, and over 5921 their pools 98, and over 5921 all 3605 their reservoirs 4723 of water 4325, that they may become 1961 blood 1818; and there will be blood 1818 throughout all 3605 the land 776 of Egypt 4714, both in {vessels of} wood 6086 and in {vessels of} stone 68.'"
20 ¶ So Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 did 6213 even 3651 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680. And he lifted 7311 up the staff 4294 and struck 5221 the water 4325 that {was} in the Nile 2975, in the sight 5869 of Pharaoh 6547 and in the sight 5869 of his servants 5650, and all 3605 the water 4325 that {was} in the Nile 2975 was turned 2015 to blood 1818.
21 The fish 1710 that {were} in the Nile 2975 died 4191, and the Nile 2975 became 887 foul 887, so that the Egyptians 4714 could 3201 not drink 8354 water 4325 from the Nile 2975. And the blood 1818 was through all 3605 the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
22 But the magicians 2748 of Egypt 4714 did 6213 the same 3651 with their secret 3909 arts 3909; and Pharaoh's 6547 heart 3820 was hardened 2388, and he did not listen 8085 to them, as the LORD 3068 had said 1696.
23 Then Pharaoh 6547 turned 6437 and went 935 into his house 1004 with no 3808 concern even 1571 for this 2088.
24 So all 3605 the Egyptians 4714 dug 2658 around 5439 the Nile 2975 for water 4325 to drink 8354, for they could 3201 not drink 8354 of the water 4325 of the Nile 2975.
25 Seven 7651 days 3117 passed 4390 after 310 the LORD 3068 had struck 5221 the Nile 2975.

Chapter 8

Frogs over the Land

Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Go 935 to Pharaoh 6547 and say 559 to him, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "Let 7971 My people 5971 go 7971, that they may serve 5647 Me.
2 "But if 518 you refuse 3986 to let 7971 {them} go 7971, behold 2009, I will smite 5062 your whole 3605 territory 1366 with frogs 6854.
3 "The Nile 2975 will swarm 8317 with frogs 6854, which will come 5927 up and go 935 into your house 1004 and into your bedroom and on your bed 4296, and into the houses 1004 of your servants 5650 and on your people 5971, and into your ovens 8574 and into your kneading 4863 bowls 4863.
4 "So the frogs 6854 will come 5927 up on you and your people 5971 and all 3605 your servants 5650."'"
5 Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Say 559 to Aaron 175, 'Stretch 5186 out your hand 3027 with your staff 4294 over 5921 the rivers 5104, over 5921 the streams 2975 and over 5921 the pools 98, and make frogs 6854 come 5927 up on the land 776 of Egypt 4714.'"
6 So Aaron 175 stretched 5186 out his hand 3027 over 5921 the waters 4325 of Egypt 4714, and the frogs 6854 came 5927 up and covered 3680 the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
7 The magicians 2748 did 6213 the same 3651 with their secret 3909 arts 3909, making frogs 6854 come 5927 up on the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
8 ¶ Then Pharaoh 6547 called 7121 for Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 and said 559, "Entreat 6279 the LORD 3068 that He remove 5493 the frogs 6854 from me and from my people 5971; and I will let 7971 the people 5971 go 7971, that they may sacrifice 2076 to the LORD 3068."
9 Moses 4872 said 559 to Pharaoh 6547, "The honor 6286 is yours to tell me: when 4970 shall I entreat 6279 for you and your servants 5650 and your people 5971, that the frogs 6854 be destroyed 3772 from you and your houses 1004, {that} they may be left 7604 only 7534 in the Nile 2975?"
10 ¶ Then he said 559, "Tomorrow 4279." So he said 559, "{May it be} according to your word 1697, that you may know 3045 that there 369 is no 369 one 369 like the LORD 3068 our God 430.
11 "The frogs 6854 will depart 5493 from you and your houses 1004 and your servants 5650 and your people 5971; they will be left 7604 only 7534 in the Nile 2975."
12 Then Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 went 3318 out from Pharaoh 6547, and Moses 4872 cried 6817 to the LORD 3068 concerning the frogs 6854 which 834 He had inflicted 7760 upon Pharaoh 6547.
13 The LORD 3068 did 6213 according to the word 1697 of Moses 4872, and the frogs 6854 died 4191 out of the houses 1004, the courts 2691, and the fields 7704.
14 So they piled 6651 them in heaps 2563, and the land 776 became 887 foul 887.
15 But when Pharaoh 6547 saw 7200 that there was relief 7309, he hardened 3513 his heart 3820 and did not listen 8085 to them, as the LORD 3068 had said 1696.
16

The Plague of Insects

¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Say 559 to Aaron 175, 'Stretch 5186 out your staff 4294 and strike 5221 the dust 6083 of the earth 776, that it may become 1961 gnats 3654 through all 3605 the land 776 of Egypt 4714.'"
17 They did 6213 so 3651; and Aaron 175 stretched 5186 out his hand 3027 with his staff 4294, and struck 5221 the dust 6083 of the earth 776, and there were gnats 3654 on man 120 and beast 929. All 3605 the dust 6083 of the earth 776 became 1961 gnats 3654 through all 3605 the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
18 The magicians 2748 tried 6213 with their secret 3909 arts 3909 to bring 3318 forth 3318 gnats 3654, but they could 3201 not; so there were gnats 3654 on man 120 and beast 929.
19 Then the magicians 2748 said 559 to Pharaoh 6547, "This 1931 is the finger 676 of God 430." But Pharaoh's 6547 heart 3820 was hardened 2388, and he did not listen 8085 to them, as the LORD 3068 had said 1696.
20 ¶ Now the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Rise 7925 early 7925 in the morning 1242 and present 3320 yourself 3320 before 6440 Pharaoh 6547, as he comes 3318 out to the water 4325, and say 559 to him, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "Let 7971 My people 5971 go 7971, that they may serve 5647 Me.
21 "For if 518 you do not let 7971 My people 5971 go 7971, behold 2009, I will send 7971 swarms 6157 of flies on you and on your servants 5650 and on your people 5971 and into your houses 1004; and the houses 1004 of the Egyptians 4714 will be full 4390 of swarms 6157 of flies, and also 1571 the ground 127 on which 834 they {dwell.}
22 "But on that day 3117 I will set 6395 apart 6395 the land 776 of Goshen 1657, where 834 My people 5971 are living 5975, so that no 1115 swarms 6157 of flies will be there 8033, in order 4616 that you may know 3045 that I, the LORD 3068, am in the midst 7130 of the land 776.
23 "I will put 7760 a division 6304 between 996 My people 5971 and your people 5971. Tomorrow 4279 this 2088 sign 226 will occur 1961."'"
24 Then the LORD 3068 did 6213 so 3651. And there came 935 great 3515 swarms 6157 of flies into the house 1004 of Pharaoh 6547 and the houses 1004 of his servants 5650 and the land 776 was laid 7843 waste 7843 because of the swarms 6157 of flies in all 3605 the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
25 ¶ Pharaoh 6547 called 7121 for Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 and said 559, "Go 1980, sacrifice 2076 to your God 430 within the land 776."
26 But Moses 4872 said 559, "It is not right 3559 to do 6213 so 3651, for we will sacrifice 2076 to the LORD 3068 our God 430 what is an abomination 8441 to the Egyptians 4714. If 2005 we sacrifice 2076 what is an abomination 8441 to the Egyptians 4714 before their eyes 5869, will they not then stone 5619 us?
27 "We must go 1980 a three 7969 days' 3117 journey 1870 into the wilderness 4057 and sacrifice 2076 to the LORD 3068 our God 430 as He commands 559 us."
28 Pharaoh 6547 said 559, "I will let 7971 you go 7971, that you may sacrifice 2076 to the LORD 3068 your God 430 in the wilderness 4057; only 7534 you shall not go 1980 very far 7368 away. Make 6279 supplication 6279 for me."
29 Then Moses 4872 said 559, "Behold 2009, I am going 3318 out from you, and I shall make 6279 supplication 6279 to the LORD 3068 that the swarms 6157 of flies may depart 5493 from Pharaoh 6547, from his servants 5650, and from his people 5971 tomorrow 4279; only 7534 do not let Pharaoh 6547 deal 8524 deceitfully 8524 again 3254 in not letting 7971 the people 5971 go 7971 to sacrifice 2076 to the LORD 3068."
30 ¶ So Moses 4872 went 3318 out from Pharaoh 6547 and made 6279 supplication 6279 to the LORD 3068.
31 The LORD 3068 did 6213 as Moses 4872 asked 1697, and removed 5493 the swarms 6157 of flies from Pharaoh 6547, from his servants 5650 and from his people 5971; not one 259 remained 7604.
32 But Pharaoh 6547 hardened 3513 his heart 3820 this 2088 time 6471 also 1571, and he did not let 7971 the people 5971 go 7971.

Chapter 9

Egyptian Cattle Die

Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Go 935 to Pharaoh 6547 and speak 1696 to him, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of the Hebrews 5680, "Let 7971 My people 5971 go 7971, that they may serve 5647 Me.
2 "For if 518 you refuse 3986 to let 7971 {them} go 7971 and continue 5750 to hold 2388 them,
3 behold 2009, the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 will come 1961 {with} a very 3966 severe 3515 pestilence 1698 on your livestock 4735 which 834 are in the field 7704, on the horses 5483, on the donkeys 2543, on the camels 1581, on the herds 1241, and on the flocks 6629.
4 "But the LORD 3068 will make 6395 a distinction 6395 between 996 the livestock 4735 of Israel 3478 and the livestock 4735 of Egypt 4714, so that nothing will die 4191 of all 3605 that belongs to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478."'"
5 The LORD 3068 set 7760 a definite 4150 time 4150, saying 559, "Tomorrow 4279 the LORD 3068 will do 6213 this 2088 thing 1697 in the land 776."
6 So the LORD 3068 did 6213 this 2088 thing 1697 on the next 4283 day 4283, and all 3605 the livestock 4735 of Egypt 4714 died 4191; but of the livestock 4735 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, not one 259 died 4191.
7 Pharaoh 6547 sent 7971, and behold 2009, there was not even 5704 one 259 of the livestock 4735 of Israel 3478 dead 4191. But the heart 3820 of Pharaoh 6547 was hardened 3513, and he did not let 7971 the people 5971 go 7971.

The Plague of Boils

¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, "Take 3947 for yourselves handfuls of soot 6368 from a kiln 3536, and let Moses 4872 throw 2236 it toward the sky 8064 in the sight 5869 of Pharaoh 6547.
9 "It will become 1961 fine dust 80 over 5921 all 3605 the land 776 of Egypt 4714, and will become 1961 boils 7822 breaking 6524 out with sores 76 on man 120 and beast 929 through all 3605 the land 776 of Egypt 4714."
10 So they took 3947 soot 6368 from a kiln 3536, and stood 5975 before 6440 Pharaoh 6547; and Moses 4872 threw 2236 it toward the sky 8064, and it became 1961 boils 7822 breaking 6524 out with sores 76 on man 120 and beast 929.
11 The magicians 2748 could 3201 not stand 5975 before 6440 Moses 4872 because of the boils 7822, for the boils 7822 were on the magicians 2748 as well as on all 3605 the Egyptians 4714.
12 And the LORD 3068 hardened 2388 Pharaoh's 6547 heart 3820, and he did not listen 8085 to them, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 to Moses 4872.
13 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Rise 7925 up early 7925 in the morning 1242 and stand 3320 before 6440 Pharaoh 6547 and say 559 to him, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of the Hebrews 5680, "Let 7971 My people 5971 go 7971, that they may serve 5647 Me.
14 "For this 2088 time 6471 I will send 7971 all 3605 My plagues 4046 on you and your servants 5650 and your people 5971, so 5668 that you may know 3045 that there 369 is no 369 one 369 like 3644 Me in all 3605 the earth 776.
15 "For {if by} now 6258 I had put 7971 forth 7971 My hand 3027 and struck 5221 you and your people 5971 with pestilence 1698, you would then have been cut 3582 off 3582 from the earth 776.
16 "But, indeed 199, for this 2088 reason 5668 I have allowed you to remain 5975, in order 5668 to show 7200 you My power 3581 and in order 4616 to proclaim 5608 My name 8034 through all 3605 the earth 776.
17 "Still 5750 you exalt 5549 yourself against My people 5971 by not letting 7971 them go 7971.
18

The Plague of Hail

"Behold 2009, about this time 6256 tomorrow 4279, I will send 4305 a very 3966 heavy 3515 hail 1259, such 834 as has not been 1961 {seen} in Egypt 4714 from the day 3117 it was founded 3245 until 5704 now 6258.
19 "Now 6258 therefore send 7971, bring 5756 your livestock 4735 and whatever you have in the field 7704 to safety 5756. Every 3605 man 120 and beast 929 that is found 4672 in the field 7704 and is not brought 622 home 1004, when the hail 1259 comes 3381 down 3381 on them, will die 4191."'"
20 The one 4480 among the servants 5650 of Pharaoh 6547 who feared 3372 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 made his servants 5650 and his livestock 4735 flee 5127 into the houses 1004;
21 but he who 834 paid 7760 no 3808 regard to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 left 5800 his servants 5650 and his livestock 4735 in the field 7704.
22 ¶ Now the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Stretch 5186 out your hand 3027 toward 5921 the sky 8064, that hail 1259 may fall 1961 on all 3605 the land 776 of Egypt 4714, on man 120 and on beast 929 and on every 3605 plant 6212 of the field 7704, throughout the land 776 of Egypt 4714."
23 Moses 4872 stretched 5186 out his staff 4294 toward 5921 the sky 8064, and the LORD 3068 sent 5414 thunder 6963 and hail 1259, and fire 784 ran 1980 down to the earth 776. And the LORD 3068 rained 4305 hail 1259 on the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
24 So there was hail 1259, and fire 784 flashing 3947 continually in the midst 8432 of the hail 1259, very 3966 severe 3515, such 834 as had not been 1961 in all 3605 the land 776 of Egypt 4714 since 3975 it became 1961 a nation 1471.
25 The hail 1259 struck 5221 all 3605 that was in the field 7704 through all 3605 the land 776 of Egypt 4714, both 4480 man 120 and beast 929; the hail 1259 also struck 5221 every 3605 plant 6212 of the field 7704 and shattered 7665 every 3605 tree 6086 of the field 7704.
26 Only 7534 in the land 776 of Goshen 1657, where the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 {were,} there was no 3808 hail 1259.
27 ¶ Then Pharaoh 6547 sent 7971 for Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, and said 559 to them, "I have sinned 2398 this 6471 time 6471; the LORD 3068 is the righteous 6662 one 6662, and I and my people 5971 are the wicked 7563 ones 7563.
28 "Make 6279 supplication 6279 to the LORD 3068, for there has been enough 7227 of God's 430 thunder 6963 and hail 1259; and I will let 7971 you go 7971, and you shall stay 5975 no 3808 longer 3254."
29 Moses 4872 said 559 to him, "As soon as I go 3318 out of the city 5892, I will spread 6566 out my hands 3709 to the LORD 3068; the thunder 6963 will cease 2308 and there will be hail 1259 no 3808 longer 5750, that you may know 3045 that the earth 776 is the LORD'S 3068.
30 "But as for you and your servants 5650, I know 3045 that you do not yet 2962 fear 3372 the LORD 3068 God 430."
31 (Now the flax 6594 and the barley 8184 were ruined 5221, for the barley 8184 was in the ear 24 and the flax 6594 was in bud 1392.
32 But the wheat 2406 and the spelt 3698 were not ruined 5221, for they {ripen} late 648.)
33 So Moses 4872 went 3318 out of the city 5892 from Pharaoh 6547, and spread 6566 out his hands 3709 to the LORD 3068; and the thunder 6963 and the hail 1259 ceased 2308, and rain 4306 no 3808 longer poured 5413 on the earth 776.
34 But when Pharaoh 6547 saw 7200 that the rain 4306 and the hail 1259 and the thunder 6963 had ceased 2308, he sinned 2398 again 3254 and hardened 3513 his heart 3820, he and his servants 5650.
35 Pharaoh's 6547 heart 3820 was hardened 2388, and he did not let 7971 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 go 7971, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 through 3027 Moses 4872.

Chapter 10

The Plague of Locusts

Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Go 935 to Pharaoh 6547, for I have hardened 3513 his heart 3820 and the heart 3820 of his servants 5650, that I may perform 7896 these 428 signs 226 of Mine among 7130 them,
2 and that you may tell 5608 in the hearing 241 of your son 1121, and of your grandson 1121, how I made 5953 a mockery 5953 of the Egyptians 4714 and how 834 I performed 7760 My signs 226 among them, that you may know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068."
3 ¶ Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 went 935 to Pharaoh 6547 and said 559 to him, "Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of the Hebrews 5680, 'How 4970 long will you refuse 3985 to humble 6031 yourself before Me? Let 7971 My people 5971 go 7971, that they may serve 5647 Me.
4 'For if 518 you refuse 3986 to let 7971 My people 5971 go 7971, behold 2009, tomorrow 4279 I will bring 935 locusts 697 into your territory 1366.
5 'They shall cover 3680 the surface 5869 of the land 776, so that no 3808 one will be able 3201 to see 7200 the land 776. They will also eat 398 the rest 3499 of what 6413 has escaped 6413--what is left 7604 to you from the hail 1259--and they will eat 398 every 3605 tree 6086 which sprouts 6779 for you out of the field 7704.
6 'Then your houses 1004 shall be filled 4390 and the houses 1004 of all 3605 your servants 5650 and the houses 1004 of all 3605 the Egyptians 4714, {something} which 834 neither 3808 your fathers 1 nor 3808 your grandfathers 1 have seen 7200, from the day 3117 that they came 1961 upon the earth 127 until 5704 this 2088 day 3117.'" And he turned 6437 and went 3318 out from Pharaoh 6547.
7 Pharaoh's 6547 servants 5650 said 559 to him, "How 4970 long will this 2088 man be a snare 4170 to us? Let 7971 the men 376 go 7971, that they may serve 5647 the LORD 3068 their God 430. Do you not realize 3045 that Egypt 4714 is destroyed 6?"
8 So Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 were brought 7725 back 7725 to Pharaoh 6547, and he said 559 to them, "Go 1980, serve 5647 the LORD 3068 your God 430! Who 4310 are the ones that are going 1980?"
9 Moses 4872 said 559, "We shall go 1980 with our young 5288 and our old 2205; with our sons 1121 and our daughters 1323, with our flocks 6629 and our herds 1241 we shall go 1980, for we must hold a feast 2282 to the LORD 3068."
10 Then he said 559 to them, "Thus 3651 may the LORD 3068 be with you, if 834 ever 3512 I let 7971 you and your little 2945 ones 2945 go 7971! Take 7200 heed 7200, for evil 7463 is in your mind 6440.
11 "Not so 3651! Go 1980 now 4994, the men 1397 {among you,} and serve 5647 the LORD 3068, for that is what you desire 1245." So they were driven 1644 out from Pharaoh's 6547 presence 6440.
12 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Stretch 5186 out your hand 3027 over 5921 the land 776 of Egypt 4714 for the locusts 697, that they may come 5927 up on the land 776 of Egypt 4714 and eat 398 every 3605 plant 6212 of the land 776, {even} all 3605 that the hail 1259 has left 7604."
13 So Moses 4872 stretched 5186 out his staff 4294 over 5921 the land 776 of Egypt 4714, and the LORD 3068 directed 5090 an east 6921 wind 7307 on the land 776 all 3605 that day 3117 and all 3605 that night 3915; and when it was morning 1242, the east 6921 wind 7307 brought 5375 the locusts 697.
14 The locusts 697 came 5927 up over 5921 all 3605 the land 776 of Egypt 4714 and settled 5117 in all 3605 the territory 1366 of Egypt 4714; {they were} very 3966 numerous 3515. There had never 3808 been 1961 so 3651 {many} locusts 697, nor 3808 would there be so 3651 {many} again 310.
15 For they covered 3680 the surface 5869 of the whole 3605 land 776, so that the land 776 was darkened 2821; and they ate 398 every 3605 plant 6212 of the land 776 and all 3605 the fruit 6529 of the trees 6086 that the hail 1259 had left 3498. Thus nothing green 3418 was left 3498 on tree 6086 or plant 6212 of the field 7704 through all 3605 the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
16 Then Pharaoh 6547 hurriedly 4116 called 7121 for Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, and he said 559, "I have sinned 2398 against the LORD 3068 your God 430 and against you.
17 "Now 6258 therefore, please 4994 forgive 5375 my sin 2403 only 389 this 6471 once 6471, and make 6279 supplication 6279 to the LORD 3068 your God 430, that He would only 7534 remove 5493 this 2088 death 4194 from me."
18 He went 3318 out from Pharaoh 6547 and made 6279 supplication 6279 to the LORD 3068.
19 So the LORD 3068 shifted 2015 {the wind} to a very 3966 strong 2389 west 3220 wind 7307 which took 5375 up the locusts 697 and drove 8628 them into the Red Sea 3220; not one 259 locust 697 was left 7604 in all 3605 the territory 1366 of Egypt 4714.
20 But the LORD 3068 hardened 2388 Pharaoh's 6547 heart 3820, and he did not let 7971 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 go 7971.
21

Darkness over the Land

¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Stretch 5186 out your hand 3027 toward 5921 the sky 8064, that there may be darkness 2822 over 5921 the land 776 of Egypt 4714, even a darkness 2822 which may be felt 4959."
22 So Moses 4872 stretched 5186 out his hand 3027 toward 5921 the sky 8064, and there was thick 653 darkness 2822 in all 3605 the land 776 of Egypt 4714 for three 7969 days 3117.
23 They did not see 7200 one 376 another 251, nor 3808 did anyone 376 rise 6965 from his place 8478 for three 7969 days 3117, but all 3605 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 had 1961 light 216 in their dwellings 4186.
24 Then Pharaoh 6547 called 7121 to Moses 4872, and said 559, "Go 1980, serve 5647 the LORD 3068; only 7534 let your flocks 6629 and your herds 1241 be detained 3322. Even 1571 your little 2945 ones 2945 may go 1980 with you."
25 But Moses 4872 said 559, "You must also 1571 let 5414 us have sacrifices 2077 and burnt 5930 offerings 5930, that we may sacrifice 6213 {them} to the LORD 3068 our God 430.
26 "Therefore, our livestock 4735 too 1571 shall go 1980 with us; not a hoof 6541 shall be left 7604 behind 7604, for we shall take 3947 some 4480 of them to serve 5647 the LORD 3068 our God 430. And until 5704 we arrive 935 there 8033, we ourselves 587 do not know 3045 with what 4100 we shall serve 5647 the LORD 3068."
27 But the LORD 3068 hardened 2388 Pharaoh's 6547 heart 3820, and he was not willing 14 to let 7971 them go 7971.
28 Then Pharaoh 6547 said 559 to him, "Get 1980 away 1980 from me! Beware 8104, do not see 7200 my face 6440 again 3254, for in the day 3117 you see 7200 my face 6440 you shall die 4191!"
29 Moses 4872 said 559, "You are right 3653; I shall never 3808 see 7200 your face 6440 again 3254!"

Chapter 11

The Last Plague

Now the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "One 259 more 5750 plague 5061 I will bring 935 on Pharaoh 6547 and on Egypt 4714; after 310 that he will let 7971 you go 7971 from here 2088. When he lets 7971 you go 7971, he will surely 1644 drive 1644 you out from here 2088 completely 3617.
2 "Speak 1696 now 4994 in the hearing 241 of the people 5971 that each 376 man 376 ask 7592 from his neighbor 7453 and each 802 woman 802 from her neighbor 7468 for articles 3627 of silver 3701 and articles 3627 of gold 2091."
3 The LORD 3068 gave 5414 the people 5971 favor 2580 in the sight 5869 of the Egyptians 4714. Furthermore 1571, the man 376 Moses 4872 {himself} was greatly 3966 esteemed in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, {both} in the sight 5869 of Pharaoh's 6547 servants 5650 and in the sight 5869 of the people 5971.
4 ¶ Moses 4872 said 559, "Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, 'About midnight I am going 3318 out into the midst 8432 of Egypt 4714,
5 and all 3605 the firstborn 1060 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714 shall die 4191, from the firstborn 1060 of the Pharaoh 6547 who sits 3427 on his throne 3678, even 5704 to the firstborn 1060 of the slave 8198 girl 8198 who 834 is behind 310 the millstones 7347; all 3605 the firstborn 1060 of the cattle 929 as well.
6 'Moreover, there shall be a great 1419 cry 6818 in all 3605 the land 776 of Egypt 4714, such as there has not been 1961 {before} and such 3644 as shall never 3808 be again 3254.
7 'But against any 3605 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 a dog 3611 will not {even} bark, whether 4480 against man 376 or 5704 beast 929, that you may understand 3045 how 834 the LORD 3068 makes 6395 a distinction 6395 between 996 Egypt 4714 and Israel 3478.'
8 "All 3605 these 428 your servants 5650 will come 3381 down 3381 to me and bow 7812 themselves before me, saying 559, 'Go 3318 out, you and all 3605 the people 5971 who 834 follow 7272 you,' and after 310 that I will go 3318 out." And he went 3318 out from Pharaoh 6547 in hot 2750 anger 639.
9 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Pharaoh 6547 will not listen 8085 to you, so 4616 that My wonders 4159 will be multiplied 7235 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714."
10 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 performed 6213 all 3605 these 428 wonders 4159 before 6440 Pharaoh 6547; yet the LORD 3068 hardened 2388 Pharaoh's 6547 heart 3820, and he did not let 7971 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 go 7971 out of his land 776.

Chapter 12

The Passover Lamb

Now the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714,
2 "This 2088 month 2320 shall be the beginning 7218 of months 2320 for you; it is to be the first 7223 month 2320 of the year 8141 to you.
3 "Speak 1696 to all 3605 the congregation 5712 of Israel 3478, saying 559, 'On the tenth 6218 of this 2088 month 2320 they are each 376 one 376 to take 3947 a lamb 7716 for themselves, according to their fathers' 1 households 1004, a lamb 7716 for each household 1004.
4 'Now if 518 the household 1004 is too 4480 small 4591 for a lamb 7716, then he and his neighbor 7934 nearest 7138 to his house 1004 are to take 3947 one according to the number 4373 of persons 5315 {in them;} according 6310 to what each 376 man 376 should eat 398, you are to divide 3699 the lamb 7716.
5 'Your lamb 7716 shall be an unblemished 8549 male 2145 a year 8141 old 1121; you may take 3947 it from the sheep 3532 or from the goats 5795.
6 'You shall keep it until 5704 the fourteenth day 3117 of the same 2088 month 2320, then the whole 3605 assembly 6951 of the congregation 5712 of Israel 3478 is to kill 7819 it at twilight 6153.
7 'Moreover, they shall take 3947 some 4480 of the blood 1818 and put 5414 it on the two 8147 doorposts 4201 and on the lintel 4947 of the houses 1004 in which 834 they eat 398 it.
8 'They shall eat 398 the flesh 1320 that {same} night 3915, roasted 6748 with fire 784, and they shall eat 398 it with unleavened 4682 bread 4682 and bitter 4844 herbs 4844.
9 'Do not eat 398 any 4480 of it raw 4995 or boiled 1310 at all 1310 with water 4325, but rather roasted 6748 with fire 784, {both} its head 7218 and its legs 3767 along 5921 with its entrails 7130.
10 'And you shall not leave 3498 any 4480 of it over 3498 until 5704 morning 1242, but whatever is left 3498 of it until 5704 morning 1242, you shall burn 8313 with fire 784.
11 'Now you shall eat 398 it in this 3602 manner 3602: {with} your loins 4975 girded 2296, your sandals 5275 on your feet 7272, and your staff 4731 in your hand 3027; and you shall eat 398 it in haste 2649--it is the LORD'S 3068 Passover 6453.
12 'For I will go 5674 through 5674 the land 776 of Egypt 4714 on that night 3915, and will strike 5221 down 5221 all 3605 the firstborn 1060 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, both 4480 man 120 and beast 929; and against all 3605 the gods 430 of Egypt 4714 I will execute 6213 judgments 8201--I am the LORD 3068.
13 'The blood 1818 shall be a sign 226 for you on the houses 1004 where you live; and when I see 7200 the blood 1818 I will pass 6452 over 5921 you, and no 3808 plague 5063 will befall 1961 you to destroy 7843 {you} when I strike 5221 the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
14

Feast of Unleavened Bread

¶ 'Now this 2088 day 3117 will be a memorial 2146 to you, and you shall celebrate 2287 it {as} a feast 2282 to the LORD 3068; throughout your generations 1755 you are to celebrate 2287 it {as} a permanent 5769 ordinance 2708.
15 'Seven 7651 days 3117 you shall eat 398 unleavened 4682 bread 4682, but on the first 7223 day 3117 you shall remove 7673 leaven 7603 from your houses 1004; for whoever 3605 eats 398 anything leavened 2557 from the first 7223 day 3117 until 5704 the seventh 7637 day 3117, that person 5315 shall be cut 3772 off 3772 from Israel 3478.
16 'On the first 7223 day 3117 you shall have a holy 6944 assembly 4744, and {another} holy 6944 assembly 4744 on the seventh 7637 day 3117; no 3808 work 4399 at all 3605 shall be done 6213 on them, except 389 what 834 must be eaten 398 by every 3605 person 5315, that alone 905 may be prepared 6213 by you.
17 'You shall also observe 8104 the {Feast of} Unleavened 4682 Bread 4682, for on this 2088 very 6106 day 3117 I brought 3318 your hosts 6635 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714; therefore you shall observe 8104 this 2088 day 3117 throughout your generations 1755 as a permanent 5769 ordinance 2708.
18 'In the first 7223 {month,} on the fourteenth day 3117 of the month 2320 at evening 6153, you shall eat 398 unleavened 4682 bread 4682, until 5704 the twenty-first day 3117 of the month 2320 at evening 6153.
19 'Seven 7651 days 3117 there shall be no 3808 leaven 7603 found 4672 in your houses 1004; for whoever 3605 eats 398 what 4263 is leavened 4263, that person 5315 shall be cut 3772 off 3772 from the congregation 5712 of Israel 3478, whether {he is} an alien 1616 or a native 249 of the land 776.
20 'You shall not eat 398 anything 3605 leavened 4263; in all 3605 your dwellings 4186 you shall eat 398 unleavened 4682 bread 4682.'"
21 ¶ Then Moses 4872 called 7121 for all 3605 the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 and said 559 to them, "Go 4900 and take 3947 for yourselves lambs 6629 according to your families 4940, and slay 7819 the Passover 6453 {lamb.}
22 "You shall take 3947 a bunch 92 of hyssop 231 and dip 2881 it in the blood 1818 which 834 is in the basin 5592, and apply 5060 some 4480 of the blood 1818 that is in the basin 5592 to the lintel 4947 and the two 8147 doorposts 4201; and none of you shall go 3318 outside 3318 the door 6607 of his house 1004 until 5704 morning 1242.
23

A Memorial of Redemption

"For the LORD 3068 will pass 5674 through 5674 to smite 5062 the Egyptians 4714; and when He sees 7200 the blood 1818 on the lintel 4947 and on the two 8147 doorposts 4201, the LORD 3068 will pass 6452 over 5921 the door 6607 and will not allow 5414 the destroyer 7843 to come 935 in to your houses 1004 to smite 5062 {you.}
24 "And you shall observe 8104 this 2088 event 1697 as an ordinance 2706 for you and your children 1121 forever.
25 "When 3588 you enter 935 the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 will give 5414 you, as He has promised 1696, you shall observe 8104 this 2088 rite 5656.
26 "And when your children 1121 say 559 to you, 'What 4100 does this 2088 rite 5656 mean to you?'
27 you shall say 559, 'It is a Passover 6453 sacrifice 2077 to the LORD 3068 who 834 passed 6452 over 5921 the houses 1004 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 in Egypt 4714 when He smote 5062 the Egyptians 4714, but spared 5337 our homes 1004.'" And the people 5971 bowed 6915 low 6915 and worshiped 7812.
28 ¶ Then the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 went 1980 and did 6213 {so;} just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, so 3651 they did 6213.
29 ¶ Now it came 1961 about at midnight that the LORD 3068 struck 5221 all 3605 the firstborn 1060 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, from the firstborn 1060 of Pharaoh 6547 who sat 3427 on his throne 3678 to the firstborn 1060 of the captive 7628 who 834 was in the dungeon, and all 3605 the firstborn 1060 of cattle 929.
30 Pharaoh 6547 arose 6965 in the night 3915, he and all 3605 his servants 5650 and all 3605 the Egyptians 4714, and there was a great 1419 cry 6818 in Egypt 4714, for there 369 was no 369 home 1004 where there 369 was not someone dead 4191.
31 Then he called 7121 for Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 at night 3915 and said 559, "Rise 6965 up, get 3318 out from among 8432 my people 5971, both 1571 you and the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; and go 1980, worship 5647 the LORD 3068, as you have said 1696.
32 "Take 3947 both 1571 your flocks 6629 and your herds 1241, as you have said 1696, and go 1980, and bless 1288 me also 1571."
33

Exodus of Israel

The Egyptians 4714 urged the people 5971, to send 7971 them out of the land 776 in haste 4116, for they said 559, "We will all 3605 be dead 4191."
34 So the people 5971 took 5375 their dough 1217 before 2962 it was leavened 2556, {with} their kneading 4863 bowls 4863 bound 6887 up in the clothes 8071 on their shoulders 7926.
35 ¶ Now the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 had done 6213 according to the word 1697 of Moses 4872, for they had requested 7592 from the Egyptians 4714 articles 3627 of silver 3701 and articles 3627 of gold 2091, and clothing 8071;
36 and the LORD 3068 had given 5414 the people 5971 favor 2580 in the sight 5869 of the Egyptians 4714, so that they let them have their request 7592. Thus they plundered 5337 the Egyptians 4714.
37 ¶ Now the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 journeyed 5265 from Rameses 7486 to Succoth 5523, about six 8337 hundred 3967 thousand 505 men 1397 on foot 7273, aside 905 from children 2945.
38 A mixed 6154 multitude 7227 also 1571 went 5927 up with them, along with flocks 6629 and herds 1241, a very 3966 large 3515 number 3515 of livestock 4735.
39 They baked 644 the dough 1217 which 834 they had brought 3318 out of Egypt 4714 into cakes 5692 of unleavened 4682 bread 4682. For it had not become 2556 leavened 2556, since 3588 they were driven 1644 out of Egypt 4714 and could 3201 not delay 4102, nor had they prepared 6213 any 1571 provisions 6720 for themselves.
40 ¶ Now the time 4186 that the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 lived 3427 in Egypt 4714 was four 702 hundred 3967 and thirty 7970 years 8141.
41 And at the end 7093 of four 702 hundred 3967 and thirty 7970 years 8141, to the very 6106 day 3117, all 3605 the hosts 6635 of the LORD 3068 went 3318 out from the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
42

Ordinance of the Passover

It is a night 3915 to be observed 8107 for the LORD 3068 for having brought 3318 them out from the land 776 of Egypt 4714; this 2088 night 3915 is for the LORD 3068, to be observed 8107 by all 3605 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 throughout their generations 1755.
43 ¶ The LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, "This 2088 is the ordinance 2708 of the Passover 6453: no foreigner is to eat 398 of it;
44 but every 3605 man's 376 slave 5650 purchased 4736 with money 3701, after you have circumcised 4135 him, then 227 he may eat 398 of it.
45 "A sojourner 8453 or a hired 7916 servant 7916 shall not eat 398 of it.
46 "It is to be eaten 398 in a single 259 house 1004; you are not to bring 3318 forth 3318 any 4480 of the flesh 1320 outside 2351 of the house 1004, nor 3808 are you to break 7665 any bone 6106 of it.
47 "All 3605 the congregation 5712 of Israel 3478 are to celebrate 6213 this.
48 "But if 3588 a stranger 1616 sojourns 1481 with you, and celebrates 6213 the Passover 6453 to the LORD 3068, let all 3605 his males 2145 be circumcised 4135, and then 227 let him come 7126 near 7126 to celebrate 6213 it; and he shall be like a native 249 of the land 776. But no uncircumcised 6189 person may eat 398 of it.
49 "The same 259 law 8451 shall apply 1961 to the native 249 as to the stranger 1616 who sojourns 1481 among 8432 you."
50 ¶ Then all 3605 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213 {so;} they did 6213 just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175.
51 And on that same 6106 day 3117 the LORD 3068 brought 3318 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714 by their hosts 6635.

Chapter 13

Consecration of the Firstborn

Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
2 "Sanctify 6942 to Me every 3605 firstborn 1060, the first 6363 offspring 6363 of every 3605 womb 7358 among the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, both of man 120 and beast 929; it belongs to Me."
3 ¶ Moses 4872 said 559 to the people 5971, "Remember 2142 this 2088 day 3117 in which 834 you went 3318 out from Egypt 4714, from the house 1004 of slavery 5650; for by a powerful 2392 hand 3027 the LORD 3068 brought 3318 you out from this 2088 place. And nothing 3808 leavened 2557 shall be eaten 398.
4 "On this day 3117 in the month 2320 of Abib 24, you are about to go 3318 forth 3318.
5 "It shall be when 3588 the LORD 3068 brings 935 you to the land 776 of the Canaanite 3669, the Hittite 2850, the Amorite 567, the Hivite 2340 and the Jebusite 2983, which 834 He swore 7650 to your fathers 1 to give 5414 you, a land 776 flowing 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706, that you shall observe 5647 this 2088 rite 5656 in this 2088 month 2320.
6 "For seven 7651 days 3117 you shall eat 398 unleavened 4682 bread 4682, and on the seventh 7637 day 3117 there shall be a feast 2282 to the LORD 3068.
7 "Unleavened 4682 bread 4682 shall be eaten 398 throughout the seven 7651 days 3117; and nothing 3808 leavened 2557 shall be seen 7200 among you, nor 3808 shall any leaven 7603 be seen 7200 among you in all 3605 your borders 1366.
8 "You shall tell 5046 your son 1121 on that day 3117, saying 559, 'It is because 5668 of what 2088 the LORD 3068 did 6213 for me when I came 3318 out of Egypt 4714.'
9 "And it shall serve 1961 as a sign 226 to you on your hand 3027, and as a reminder 2146 on your forehead, that the law 8451 of the LORD 3068 may be in your mouth 6310; for with a powerful 2389 hand 3027 the LORD 3068 brought 3318 you out of Egypt 4714.
10 "Therefore, you shall keep 8104 this 2088 ordinance 2708 at its appointed 4150 time 4150 from year 3117 to year 3117.
11 ¶ "Now when 3588 the LORD 3068 brings 935 you to the land 776 of the Canaanite 3669, as He swore 7650 to you and to your fathers 1, and gives 5414 it to you,
12 you shall devote 5674 to the LORD 3068 the first 6363 offspring 6363 of every 3605 womb 7358, and the first 6363 offspring 6363 of every 3605 beast 929 that you own 1961; the males 2145 belong to the LORD 3068.
13 "But every 3605 first 6363 offspring 6363 of a donkey 2543 you shall redeem 6299 with a lamb 7716, but if 518 you do not redeem 6299 {it,} then you shall break 6202 its neck 6202; and every 3605 firstborn 1060 of man 120 among your sons 1121 you shall redeem 6299.
14 "And it shall be when 3588 your son 1121 asks 7592 you in time 4279 to come 4279, saying 559, 'What 4100 is this 2088?' then you shall say 559 to him, 'With a powerful 2392 hand 3027 the LORD 3068 brought 3318 us out of Egypt 4714, from the house 1004 of slavery 5650.
15 'It came 1961 about, when 3588 Pharaoh 6547 was stubborn 7185 about letting 7971 us go 7971, that the LORD 3068 killed 2026 every 3605 firstborn 1060 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, both 4480 the firstborn 1060 of man 120 and the firstborn 1060 of beast 929. Therefore, I sacrifice 2076 to the LORD 3068 the males 2145, the first 6363 offspring 6363 of every 3605 womb 7358, but every 3605 firstborn 1060 of my sons 1121 I redeem 6299.'
16 "So it shall serve 1961 as a sign 226 on your hand 3027 and as phylacteries 2903 on your forehead, for with a powerful 2392 hand 3027 the LORD 3068 brought 3318 us out of Egypt 4714."
17

God Leads the People

¶ Now when Pharaoh 6547 had let 7971 the people 5971 go 7971, God 430 did not lead 5148 them by the way 1870 of the land 776 of the Philistines 6430, even 3588 though 3588 it was near 7138; for God 430 said 559, "The people 5971 might 6435 change 5162 their minds 5162 when they see 7200 war 4421, and return 7725 to Egypt 4714."
18 Hence God 430 led 5437 the people 5971 around 5437 by the way 1870 of the wilderness 4057 to the Red Sea 3220; and the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 went 5927 up in martial 2571 array 2571 from the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
19 Moses 4872 took 3947 the bones 6106 of Joseph 3130 with him, for he had made the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 solemnly 7650 swear 7650, saying 559, "God 430 will surely 6485 take 6485 care 6485 of you, and you shall carry 5927 my bones 6106 from here 2088 with you."
20 Then they set 5265 out from Succoth 5523 and camped 2583 in Etham 864 on the edge 7097 of the wilderness 4057.
21 The LORD 3068 was going 1980 before 6440 them in a pillar 5982 of cloud 6051 by day 3119 to lead 5148 them on the way 1870, and in a pillar 5982 of fire 784 by night 3915 to give 215 them light 215, that they might travel 1980 by day 3119 and by night 3915.
22 He did not take 4185 away 4185 the pillar 5982 of cloud 6051 by day 3119, nor 3808 the pillar 5982 of fire 784 by night 3915, from before 6440 the people 5971.

Chapter 14

Pharaoh in Pursuit

Now the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
2 "Tell 1696 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 to turn 7725 back 7725 and camp 2583 before 6440 Pi-hahiroth 6367, between 996 Migdol 4024 and the sea 3220; you shall camp 2583 in front 6440 of Baal-zephon 1189, opposite 5227 it, by the sea 3220.
3 "For Pharaoh 6547 will say 559 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, 'They are wandering 943 aimlessly 943 in the land 776; the wilderness 4057 has shut 5462 them in.'
4 "Thus I will harden 2388 Pharaoh's 6547 heart 3820, and he will chase 7291 after 310 them; and I will be honored 3513 through Pharaoh 6547 and all 3605 his army 2428, and the Egyptians 4714 will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068." And they did 6213 so 3651.
5 ¶ When the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 was told 5046 that the people 5971 had fled 1272, Pharaoh 6547 and his servants 5650 had 2015 a change 2015 of heart 3824 toward 413 the people 5971, and they said 559, "What 4100 is this 2088 we have done 6213, that we have let 7971 Israel 3478 go 7971 from serving 5647 us?"
6 So he made 631 his chariot 7393 ready 631 and took 3947 his people 5971 with him;
7 and he took 3947 six 8337 hundred 3967 select 977 chariots 7393, and all 3605 the {other} chariots 7393 of Egypt 4714 with officers 7991 over 5921 all 3605 of them.
8 The LORD 3068 hardened 2388 the heart 3820 of Pharaoh 6547, king 4428 of Egypt 4714, and he chased 7291 after 310 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 as the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 were going 3318 out boldly.
9 Then the Egyptians 4714 chased 7291 after 310 them {with} all 3605 the horses 5483 {and} chariots 7393 of Pharaoh 6547, his horsemen 6571 and his army 2428, and they overtook 5381 them camping 2583 by the sea 3220, beside 5921 Pi-hahiroth 6367, in front 6440 of Baal-zephon 1189.
10 ¶ As Pharaoh 6547 drew 7126 near 7126, the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 looked, and behold 2009, the Egyptians 4714 were marching 5265 after 310 them, and they became 3372 very 3966 frightened 3372; so the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 cried 6817 out to the LORD 3068.
11 Then they said 559 to Moses 4872, "Is it because there 369 were no 369 graves 6913 in Egypt 4714 that you have taken 3947 us away to die 4191 in the wilderness 4057? Why 4100 have you dealt 6213 with us in this 2088 way 2088, bringing 3318 us out of Egypt 4714?
12 "Is this 2088 not the word 1697 that we spoke 1696 to you in Egypt 4714, saying 559, 'Leave 2308 us alone 4480 that we may serve 5647 the Egyptians 4714'? For it would have been better 2896 for us to serve 5647 the Egyptians 4714 than 4480 to die 4191 in the wilderness 4057."
13

The Sea Is Divided

But Moses 4872 said 559 to the people 5971, "Do not fear 3372! Stand 3320 by and see 7200 the salvation 3444 of the LORD 3068 which 834 He will accomplish 6213 for you today 3117; for the Egyptians 4714 whom 834 you have seen 7200 today 3117, you will never see 7200 them again 3254 forever.
14 "The LORD 3068 will fight 3898 for you while you keep 2790 silent 2790."
15 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Why 4100 are you crying 6817 out to Me? Tell 1696 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 to go 5265 forward 5265.
16 "As for you, lift 7311 up your staff 4294 and stretch 5186 out your hand 3027 over 5921 the sea 3220 and divide 1234 it, and the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 shall go 935 through 935 the midst 8432 of the sea 3220 on dry 3004 land 3004.
17 "As for Me, behold 2009, I will harden 2388 the hearts 3820 of the Egyptians 4714 so that they will go 935 in after 310 them; and I will be honored 3513 through Pharaoh 6547 and all 3605 his army 2428, through his chariots 7393 and his horsemen 6571.
18 "Then the Egyptians 4714 will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068, when I am honored 3513 through Pharaoh 6547, through his chariots 7393 and his horsemen 6571."
19 ¶ The angel 4397 of God 430, who had been going 1980 before 6440 the camp 4264 of Israel 3478, moved 5265 and went 1980 behind them; and the pillar 5982 of cloud 6051 moved 5265 from before them and stood 5975 behind them.
20 So it came 935 between 996 the camp 4264 of Egypt 4714 and the camp 4264 of Israel 3478; and there was the cloud 6051 along with the darkness 2822, yet it gave 215 light 215 at night 3915. Thus the one 2088 did not come 7126 near 7126 the other 2088 all 3605 night 3915.
21 ¶ Then Moses 4872 stretched 5186 out his hand 3027 over 5921 the sea 3220; and the LORD 3068 swept 1980 the sea 3220 {back} by a strong 5794 east 6921 wind 7307 all 3605 night 3915 and turned 7760 the sea 3220 into dry 2724 land 2724, so the waters 4325 were divided 1234.
22 The sons 1121 of Israel 3478 went 935 through 935 the midst 8432 of the sea 3220 on the dry 3004 land 3004, and the waters 4325 {were like} a wall 2346 to them on their right 3225 hand 3225 and on their left 8040.
23 Then the Egyptians 4714 took 7291 up the pursuit 7291, and all 3605 Pharaoh's 6547 horses 5483, his chariots 7393 and his horsemen 6571 went 935 in after 310 them into the midst 8432 of the sea 3220.
24 At the morning 1242 watch 821, the LORD 3068 looked 8259 down 8259 on the army 4264 of the Egyptians 4714 through the pillar 5982 of fire 784 and cloud 6051 and brought 2000 the army 4264 of the Egyptians 4714 into confusion 2000.
25 He caused their chariot 4818 wheels 212 to swerve 5493, and He made them drive 5090 with difficulty 3517; so the Egyptians 4714 said 559, "Let us flee 5127 from Israel 3478, for the LORD 3068 is fighting 3898 for them against the Egyptians 4714."
26 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Stretch 5186 out your hand 3027 over 5921 the sea 3220 so that the waters 4325 may come 7725 back 7725 over 5921 the Egyptians 4714, over 5921 their chariots 7393 and their horsemen 6571."
27 So Moses 4872 stretched 5186 out his hand 3027 over 5921 the sea 3220, and the sea 3220 returned 7725 to its normal 386 state 386 at daybreak 1242, while the Egyptians 4714 were fleeing 5127 right 7122 into it; then the LORD 3068 overthrew 5287 the Egyptians 4714 in the midst 8432 of the sea 3220.
28 The waters 4325 returned 7725 and covered 3680 the chariots 7393 and the horsemen 6571, even Pharaoh's 6547 entire 3605 army 2428 that had gone 935 into the sea 3220 after 310 them; not even 5704 one 259 of them remained 7604.
29 But the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 walked 1980 on dry 3004 land 3004 through the midst 8432 of the sea 3220, and the waters 4325 {were like} a wall 2346 to them on their right 3225 hand 3225 and on their left 8040.
30 ¶ Thus the LORD 3068 saved 3467 Israel 3478 that day 3117 from the hand 3027 of the Egyptians 4714, and Israel 3478 saw 7200 the Egyptians 4714 dead 4191 on the seashore.
31 When Israel 3478 saw 7200 the great 1419 power 3027 which 834 the LORD 3068 had used 6213 against the Egyptians 4714, the people 5971 feared 3372 the LORD 3068, and they believed 539 in the LORD 3068 and in His servant 5650 Moses 4872.

Chapter 15

The Song of Moses and Israel

Then 227 Moses 4872 and the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 sang 7891 this 2088 song 7892 to the LORD 3068, and said 559, "I will sing 7891 to the LORD 3068, for He is highly 1342 exalted 1342; The horse 5483 and its rider 7392 He has hurled 7411 into the sea 3220.
2 "The LORD 3050 is my strength 5797 and song 2172, And He has become 1961 my salvation 3444; This 2088 is my God 410, and I will praise 5115 Him; My father's 1 God 430, and I will extol 7311 Him.
3 "The LORD 3068 is a warrior 4421; The LORD 3068 is His name 8034.
4 "Pharaoh's 6547 chariots 4818 and his army 2428 He has cast 3384 into the sea 3220; And the choicest 4005 of his officers 7991 are drowned 2883 in the Red Sea 3220.
5 "The deeps 8415 cover 3680 them; They went 3381 down 3381 into the depths 4688 like 3644 a stone 68.
6 "Your right 3225 hand 3225, O LORD 3068, is majestic 142 in power 3581, Your right 3225 hand 3225, O LORD 3068, shatters 7492 the enemy 340.
7 "And in the greatness 7230 of Your excellence 1347 You overthrow 2040 those who rise 6965 up against You; You send 7971 forth Your burning 2740 anger 2740, {and} it consumes 398 them as chaff 7179.
8 "At the blast 7307 of Your nostrils 639 the waters 4325 were piled 6192 up, The flowing 5140 waters 4325 stood 5324 up like 3644 a heap 5067; The deeps 8415 were congealed 7087 in the heart 3820 of the sea 3220.
9 "The enemy 340 said 559, 'I will pursue 7291, I will overtake 5381, I will divide 2505 the spoil 7998; My desire 5315 shall be gratified 4390 against them; I will draw 7385 out my sword 2719, my hand 3027 will destroy 3423 them.'
10 "You blew 5398 with Your wind 7307, the sea 3220 covered 3680 them; They sank 6749 like lead 5777 in the mighty 117 waters 4325.
11 "Who 4310 is like 3644 You among the gods 410, O LORD 3068? Who 4310 is like 3644 You, majestic 142 in holiness 6944, Awesome 3372 in praises 8416, working 6213 wonders 6382?
12 "You stretched 5186 out Your right 3225 hand 3225, The earth 776 swallowed 1104 them.
13 "In Your lovingkindness 2617 You have led 5148 the people 5971 whom 2098 You have redeemed 1350; In Your strength 5797 You have guided 5095 {them} to Your holy 6944 habitation 5116.
14 "The peoples 5971 have heard 8085, they tremble 7264; Anguish 2427 has gripped 270 the inhabitants 3427 of Philistia 6429.
15 "Then 227 the chiefs 441 of Edom 112 were dismayed 926; The leaders 352 of Moab 4124, trembling 7461 grips 270 them; All 3605 the inhabitants 3427 of Canaan 3667 have melted 4127 away 4127.
16 "Terror 367 and dread 6343 fall 5307 upon them; By the greatness 1419 of Your arm 2220 they are motionless 1826 as stone 68; Until 5704 Your people 5971 pass 5674 over 5674, O LORD 3068, Until 5704 the people 5971 pass 5674 over 5674 whom 2098 You have purchased 7069.
17 "You will bring 935 them and plant 5193 them in the mountain 2022 of Your inheritance 5159, The place 4349, O LORD 3068, which You have made 6466 for Your dwelling 3427, The sanctuary 4720, O Lord 136, which Your hands 3027 have established 3559.
18 "The LORD 3068 shall reign 4427 forever 5769 and ever 5703."
19 ¶ For the horses 5483 of Pharaoh 6547 with his chariots 7393 and his horsemen 6571 went 935 into the sea 3220, and the LORD 3068 brought 7725 back 7725 the waters 4325 of the sea 3220 on them, but the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 walked 1980 on dry 3004 land 3004 through the midst 8432 of the sea 3220.
20 ¶ Miriam 4813 the prophetess 5031, Aaron's 175 sister 269, took 3947 the timbrel 8596 in her hand 3027, and all 3605 the women 802 went 3318 out after 310 her with timbrels 8596 and with dancing 4246.
21 Miriam 4813 answered 6030 them, "Sing 7891 to the LORD 3068, for He is highly 1342 exalted 1342; The horse 5483 and his rider 7392 He has hurled 7411 into the sea 3220."
22

The L\{ORD}/ Provides Water

Then Moses 4872 led 5265 Israel 3478 from the Red Sea 3220, and they went 3318 out into the wilderness 4057 of Shur 7793; and they went 1980 three 7969 days 3117 in the wilderness 4057 and found 4672 no 3808 water 4325.
23 When they came 935 to Marah 4785, they could 3201 not drink 8354 the waters 4325 of Marah 4785, for they were bitter 4751; therefore it was named Marah 4785.
24 So the people 5971 grumbled 3885 at Moses 4872, saying 559, "What 4100 shall we drink 8354?"
25 Then he cried 6817 out to the LORD 3068, and the LORD 3068 showed 3384 him a tree 6086; and he threw 7993 {it} into the waters 4325, and the waters 4325 became 4985 sweet 4985.
26 ¶ And He said 559, "If 518 you will give 8085 earnest 8085 heed 8085 to the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, and do 6213 what is right 3477 in His sight 5869, and give 238 ear 238 to His commandments 4687, and keep 8104 all 3605 His statutes 2706, I will put 7760 none of the diseases 4245 on you which 834 I have put 7760 on the Egyptians 4714; for I, the LORD 3068, am your healer 7495."
27 ¶ Then they came 935 to Elim 362 where 8033 there {were} twelve springs 5871 of water 4325 and seventy 7657 date 8558 palms 8558, and they camped 2583 there 8033 beside 5921 the waters 4325.

Then they set 5265 out from Elim 362, and all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 came 935 to the wilderness 4057 of Sin 5512, which 834 is between 996 Elim 362 and Sinai 5514, on the fifteenth day 3117 of the second 8145 month 2320 after their departure 3318 from the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
2 The whole 3605 congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 grumbled 3885 against 5921 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 in the wilderness 4057.
3 The sons 1121 of Israel 3478 said 559 to them, "Would that we had died 4191 by the LORD'S 3068 hand 3027 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, when we sat 3427 by the pots 5518 of meat 1320, when we ate 398 bread 3899 to the full 7648; for you have brought 3318 us out into this 2088 wilderness 4057 to kill 4191 this 2088 whole 3605 assembly 6951 with hunger 7458."
4 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Behold 2009, I will rain 4305 bread 3899 from heaven 8064 for you; and the people 5971 shall go 3318 out and gather 3950 a day's 3117 portion 1697 every day 3117, that I may test 5254 them, whether or 518 not they will walk 1980 in My instruction 8451.
5 "On the sixth 8345 day 3117, when they prepare 3559 what 834 they bring 935 in, it will be twice 4932 as much 834 as they gather 3950 daily 3117."
6 So Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 said 559 to all 3605 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, "At evening 6153 you will know 3045 that the LORD 3068 has brought 3318 you out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714;
7 and in the morning 1242 you will see 7200 the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068, for He hears 8085 your grumblings 8519 against 5921 the LORD 3068; and what 4100 are we, that you grumble 3885 against 5921 us?"

The L\{ORD}/ Provides Meat

Moses 4872 said 559, "{This will happen} when the LORD 3068 gives 5414 you meat 1320 to eat 398 in the evening 6153, and bread 3899 to the full 7646 in the morning 1242; for the LORD 3068 hears 8085 your grumblings 8519 which 834 you grumble 3885 against 5921 Him. And what 4100 are we? Your grumblings 8519 are not against 5921 us but against 5921 the LORD 3068."
9 ¶ Then Moses 4872 said 559 to Aaron 175, "Say 559 to all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, 'Come 7126 near 7126 before 6440 the LORD 3068, for He has heard 8085 your grumblings 8519.'"
10 It came 1961 about as Aaron 175 spoke 1696 to the whole 3605 congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, that they looked 6437 toward 413 the wilderness 4057, and behold 2009, the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 in the cloud 6051.
11 And the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
12 "I have heard 8085 the grumblings 8519 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; speak 1696 to them, saying 559, 'At twilight 6153 you shall eat 398 meat 1320, and in the morning 1242 you shall be filled 7646 with bread 3899; and you shall know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068 your God 430.'"
13 ¶ So it came 1961 about at evening 6153 that the quails 7958 came 5927 up and covered 3680 the camp 4264, and in the morning 1242 there was a layer 7902 of dew 2919 around 5439 the camp 4264.
14 When the layer 7902 of dew 2919 evaporated 5927, behold 2009, on the surface 6440 of the wilderness 4057 there was a fine 1851 flake-like 2636 thing 2636, fine 1851 as the frost 3713 on the ground 776.
15 When the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 saw 7200 {it,} they said 559 to one 376 another 251, "What 4478 is it?" For they did not know 3045 what 4100 it was. And Moses 4872 said 559 to them, "It is the bread 3899 which 834 the LORD 3068 has given 5414 you to eat 402.
16 "This 2088 is what the LORD 3068 has commanded 6680, 'Gather 3950 of it every 376 man 376 as much 6310 as he should eat 398; you shall take 3947 an omer 6016 apiece 1538 according to the number 4557 of persons 5315 each 376 of you has 3947 in his tent 168.'"
17 The sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213 so 3651, and {some} gathered 3950 much 7235 and {some} little 4591.
18 When they measured 4058 it with an omer 6016, he who had 7235 gathered much 7235 had no 3808 excess 5736, and he who had 4591 gathered little 4591 had no 3808 lack 2637; every 376 man 376 gathered 3950 as much 6310 as he should eat 398.
19 Moses 4872 said 559 to them, "Let no 408 man 376 leave 3498 any 4480 of it until 5704 morning 1242."
20 But they did not listen 8085 to Moses 4872, and some 376 left 3498 part of it until 5704 morning 1242, and it bred 7426 worms 8438 and became 887 foul 887; and Moses 4872 was angry 7107 with them.
21 They gathered 3950 it morning 1242 by morning 1242, every 376 man 376 as much 6310 as he should eat 398; but when the sun 8121 grew 2552 hot 2552, it would melt 4549.
22

The Sabbath Observed

Now on the sixth 8345 day 3117 they gathered 3950 twice 4932 as much 4932 bread 3899, two 8147 omers 6016 for each 259 one 259. When all 3605 the leaders 5387 of the congregation 5712 came 935 and told 5046 Moses 4872,
23 then he said 559 to them, "This 1931 is what 834 the LORD 3068 meant 1696: Tomorrow 4279 is a sabbath 7677 observance 7677, a holy 6944 sabbath 7676 to the LORD 3068. Bake 644 what 834 you will bake 644 and boil 1310 what 834 you will boil 1310, and all 3605 that is left 5736 over 5736 put 5117 aside 5117 to be kept 4931 until 5704 morning 1242."
24 So they put 5117 it aside 5117 until 5704 morning 1242, as Moses 4872 had ordered 6680, and it did not become 887 foul 887 nor 3808 was there any worm 7415 in it.
25 Moses 4872 said 559, "Eat 398 it today 3117, for today 3117 is a sabbath 7676 to the LORD 3068; today 3117 you will not find 4672 it in the field 7704.
26 "Six 8337 days 3117 you shall gather 3950 it, but on the seventh 7637 day 3117, {the} sabbath 7676, there will be none 3808."
27 ¶ It came 1961 about on the seventh 7637 day 3117 that some 4480 of the people 5971 went 3318 out to gather 3950, but they found 4672 none 3808.
28 Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "How 575 long 5704 do you refuse 3985 to keep 8104 My commandments 4687 and My instructions 8451?
29 "See 7200, the LORD 3068 has given 5414 you the sabbath 7676; therefore He gives 5414 you bread 3899 for two days 3117 on the sixth 8345 day 3117. Remain 3427 every 376 man 376 in his place 8478; let no 408 man 376 go 3318 out of his place 4725 on the seventh 7637 day 3117."
30 So the people 5971 rested 7673 on the seventh 7637 day 3117.
31 ¶ The house 1004 of Israel 3478 named it manna 4478, and it was like coriander 1407 seed 2233, white 3836, and its taste 2940 was like wafers 6838 with honey 1706.
32 Then Moses 4872 said 559, "This 2088 is what the LORD 3068 has commanded 6680, 'Let an omerful of it be kept 4931 throughout your generations 1755, that they may see 7200 the bread 3899 that I fed 398 you in the wilderness 4057, when I brought 3318 you out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714.'"
33 Moses 4872 said 559 to Aaron 175, "Take 3947 a jar 6803 and put 5414 an omerful of manna 4478 in it, and place 5117 it before 6440 the LORD 3068 to be kept 4931 throughout your generations 1755."
34 As the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 Moses 4872, so Aaron 175 placed 5117 it before 6440 the Testimony 5715, to be kept 4931.
35 The sons 1121 of Israel 3478 ate 398 the manna 4478 forty 705 years 8141, until 5704 they came 935 to an inhabited 3427 land 776; they ate 398 the manna 4478 until 5704 they came 935 to the border 7097 of the land 776 of Canaan 3667.
36 (Now an omer 6016 is a tenth 6224 of an ephah 374.)

Water in the Rock

Then all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 journeyed 5265 by stages 4550 from the wilderness 4057 of Sin 5512, according 5921 to the command 6310 of the LORD 3068, and camped 2583 at Rephidim 7508, and there 369 was no 369 water 4325 for the people 5971 to drink 8354.
2 Therefore the people 5971 quarreled 7378 with Moses 4872 and said 559, "Give 5414 us water 4325 that we may drink 8354." And Moses 4872 said 559 to them, "Why 4100 do you quarrel 7378 with me? Why 4100 do you test 5254 the LORD 3068?"
3 But the people 5971 thirsted 6770 there 8033 for water 4325; and they grumbled 3885 against 5921 Moses 4872 and said 559, "Why 4100, now 2088, have you brought 5927 us up from Egypt 4714, to kill 4191 us and our children 1121 and our livestock 4735 with thirst 6772?"
4 So Moses 4872 cried 6817 out to the LORD 3068, saying 559, "What 4100 shall I do 6213 to this 2088 people 5971? A little 4592 more 5750 and they will stone 5619 me."
5 Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Pass 5674 before 6440 the people 5971 and take 3947 with you some 4480 of the elders 2205 of Israel 3478; and take 3947 in your hand 3027 your staff 4294 with which 834 you struck 5221 the Nile 2975, and go 1980.
6 "Behold 2009, I will stand 5975 before 6440 you there 8033 on the rock 6697 at Horeb 2722; and you shall strike 5221 the rock 6697, and water 4325 will come 3318 out of it, that the people 5971 may drink 8354." And Moses 4872 did 6213 so 3651 in the sight 5869 of the elders 2205 of Israel 3478.
7 He named the place 4725 Massah 4532 and Meribah 4809 because 5921 of the quarrel 7379 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and because 5921 they tested 5254 the LORD 3068, saying 559, "Is the LORD 3068 among 7130 us, or 518 not?"

Amalek Fought

¶ Then Amalek 6002 came 935 and fought 3898 against 5973 Israel 3478 at Rephidim 7508.
9 So Moses 4872 said 559 to Joshua 3091, "Choose 977 men 376 for us and go 3318 out, fight 3898 against Amalek 6002. Tomorrow 4279 I will station 5324 myself 5324 on the top 7218 of the hill 1389 with the staff 4294 of God 430 in my hand 3027."
10 Joshua 3091 did 6213 as Moses 4872 told 559 him, and fought 3898 against Amalek 6002; and Moses 4872, Aaron 175, and Hur 2354 went 5927 up to the top 7218 of the hill 1389.
11 So it came 1961 about when 3512 Moses 4872 held 7311 his hand 3027 up, that Israel 3478 prevailed 1396, and when 3512 he let his hand 3027 down 5117, Amalek 6002 prevailed 1396.
12 But Moses' hands 3027 were heavy 3515. Then they took 3947 a stone 68 and put 7760 it under 8478 him, and he sat 3427 on it; and Aaron 175 and Hur 2354 supported 8551 his hands 3027, one 259 on one 2088 side 2088 and one 259 on the other 2088. Thus his hands 3027 were steady 530 until 5704 the sun 8121 set 935.
13 So Joshua 3091 overwhelmed 2522 Amalek 6002 and his people 5971 with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719.
14 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Write 3789 this 2088 in a book 5612 as a memorial 2146 and recite it to Joshua 3091, that I will utterly 4229 blot 4229 out the memory 2143 of Amalek 6002 from under 8478 heaven 8064."
15 Moses 4872 built 1129 an altar 4196 and named it The LORD 3068 is My Banner 5251;
16 and he said 559, "The LORD 3050 has sworn; the LORD 3068 will have war 4421 against Amalek 6002 from generation 1755 to generation 1755."

Jethro, Moses' Father-in-law

Now Jethro 3503, the priest 3548 of Midian 4080, Moses' 4872 father-in-law 2860, heard 8085 of all 3605 that God 430 had done 6213 for Moses 4872 and for Israel 3478 His people 5971, how 3588 the LORD 3068 had brought 3318 Israel 3478 out of Egypt 4714.
2 Jethro 3503, Moses' 4872 father-in-law 2860, took 3947 Moses' 4872 wife 802 Zipporah 6855, after 310 he had sent 7971 her away 7971,
3 and her two 8147 sons 1121, of whom 834 one 259 was named 8034 Gershom 1647, for Moses said 559, "I have been 1961 a sojourner 1616 in a foreign 5237 land 776."
4 The other 259 was named 8034 Eliezer 461, for {he said,} "The God 430 of my father 1 was my help 5828, and delivered 5337 me from the sword 2719 of Pharaoh 6547."
5 ¶ Then Jethro 3503, Moses' 4872 father-in-law 2860, came 935 with his sons 1121 and his wife 802 to Moses 4872 in the wilderness 4057 where he was camped 2583, at the mount 2022 of God 430.
6 He sent 559 word 559 to Moses 4872, "I, your father-in-law 2860 Jethro 3503, am coming 935 to you with your wife 802 and her two 8147 sons 1121 with her."
7 Then Moses 4872 went 3318 out to meet 7122 his father-in-law 2860, and he bowed 7812 down 7812 and kissed 5401 him; and they asked 7592 each 376 other 7453 of their welfare 7965 and went 935 into the tent 168.
8 Moses 4872 told 5608 his father-in-law 2860 all 3605 that the LORD 3068 had done 6213 to Pharaoh 6547 and to the Egyptians 4714 for Israel's 3478 sake, all 3605 the hardship 8513 that had befallen 4672 them on the journey 1870, and {how} the LORD 3068 had delivered 5337 them.
9 Jethro 3503 rejoiced 2302 over 5921 all 3605 the goodness 2899 which 834 the LORD 3068 had done 6213 to Israel 3478, in delivering 5337 them from the hand 3027 of the Egyptians 4714.
10 So Jethro 3503 said 559, "Blessed 1288 be the LORD 3068 who 834 delivered 5337 you from the hand 3027 of the Egyptians 4714 and from the hand 3027 of Pharaoh 6547, {and} who 834 delivered 5337 the people 5971 from under 8478 the hand 3027 of the Egyptians 4714.
11 "Now 6258 I know 3045 that the LORD 3068 is greater 1419 than 4480 all 3605 the gods 430; indeed 3588, it was proven 1697 when 834 they dealt 2102 proudly 2102 against 5921 the people."
12 Then Jethro 3503, Moses' 4872 father-in-law 2860, took 3947 a burnt 5930 offering 5930 and sacrifices 2077 for God 430, and Aaron 175 came 935 with all 3605 the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 to eat 398 a meal 3899 with Moses' 4872 father-in-law 2860 before 6440 God 430.
13 ¶ It came 1961 about the next 4283 day 4283 that Moses 4872 sat 3427 to judge 8199 the people 5971, and the people 5971 stood 5975 about 5921 Moses 4872 from the morning 1242 until 5704 the evening 6153.
14 Now when Moses' 4872 father-in-law 2860 saw 7200 all 3605 that he was doing 6213 for the people 5971, he said 559, "What 4100 is this 2088 thing 1697 that you are doing 6213 for the people 5971? Why 4069 do you alone 905 sit 3427 {as judge} and all 3605 the people 5971 stand 5324 about 5921 you from morning 1242 until 5704 evening 6153?"
15 Moses 4872 said 559 to his father-in-law 2860, "Because 3588 the people 5971 come 935 to me to inquire 1875 of God 430.
16 "When 3588 they have 1961 a dispute 1697, it comes 935 to me, and I judge 8199 between 996 a man 376 and his neighbor 7453 and make 3045 known 3045 the statutes 2706 of God 430 and His laws 8451."
17

Jethro Counsels Moses

Moses' 4872 father-in-law 2860 said 559 to him, "The thing 1697 that you are doing 6213 is not good 2896.
18 "You will surely 5034 wear 5034 out, both 1571 yourself 859 and these 2088 people 5971 who 834 are with you, for the task 1697 is too 4480 heavy 3515 for you; you cannot do 6213 it alone 905.
19 "Now 6258 listen 8085 to me: I will give 3289 you counsel 3289, and God 430 be with you. You be the people's 5971 representative before 4136 God 430, and you bring 935 the disputes 1697 to God 430,
20 then teach 2094 them the statutes 2706 and the laws 8451, and make 3045 known 3045 to them the way 1870 in which they are to walk 1980 and the work 4639 they are to do 6213.
21 "Furthermore, you shall select 2372 out of all 3605 the people 5971 able 2428 men 376 who fear 3372 God 430, men 376 of truth 571, those who hate 8130 dishonest 1215 gain 1215; and you shall place 7760 {these} over 5921 them {as} leaders 8269 of thousands 505, of hundreds 3967, of fifties 2572 and of tens 6235.
22 "Let them judge 8199 the people 5971 at all 3605 times 6256; and let it be that every 3605 major 1419 dispute 1697 they will bring 935 to you, but every 3605 minor 6996 dispute 1697 they themselves will judge 8199. So it will be easier 7043 for you, and they will bear 5375 {the burden} with you.
23 "If 518 you do 6213 this 2088 thing 1697 and God 430 {so} commands 6680 you, then you will be able 3201 to endure 5975, and all 3605 these 2088 people 5971 also 1571 will go 935 to their place 4725 in peace 7965."
24 ¶ So Moses 4872 listened 8085 to his father-in-law 2860 and did 6213 all 3605 that he had said 559.
25 Moses 4872 chose 977 able 2428 men 376 out of all 3605 Israel 3478 and made 5414 them heads 7218 over 5921 the people 5971, leaders 8269 of thousands 505, of hundreds 3967, of fifties 2572 and of tens 6235.
26 They judged 8199 the people 5971 at all 3605 times 6256; the difficult 7186 dispute 1697 they would bring 935 to Moses 4872, but every 3605 minor 6996 dispute 1697 they themselves would judge 8199.
27 Then Moses 4872 bade 7971 his father-in-law 2860 farewell 7971, and he went 1980 his way into his own land 776.

Chapter 19

Moses on Sinai

In the third 7992 month 2320 after the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 had gone 3318 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, on that very day 3117 they came 935 into the wilderness 4057 of Sinai 5514.
2 When they set 5265 out from Rephidim 7508, they came 935 to the wilderness 4057 of Sinai 5514 and camped 2583 in the wilderness 4057; and there 8033 Israel 3478 camped 2583 in front 5048 of the mountain 2022.
3 Moses 4872 went 5927 up to God 430, and the LORD 3068 called 7121 to him from the mountain 2022, saying 559, "Thus 3541 you shall say 559 to the house 1004 of Jacob 3290 and tell 5046 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478:
4 'You yourselves 864 have seen 7200 what 834 I did 6213 to the Egyptians 4714, and {how} I bore 5375 you on eagles' 5404 wings 3671, and brought 935 you to Myself.
5 'Now 6258 then, if 518 you will indeed 8085 obey 8085 My voice 6963 and keep 8104 My covenant 1285, then you shall be My own possession 5459 among 4480 all 3605 the peoples 5971, for all 3605 the earth 776 is Mine;
6 and you shall be to Me a kingdom 4467 of priests 3548 and a holy 6918 nation 1471.' These 428 are the words 1697 that you shall speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478."
7 ¶ So Moses 4872 came 935 and called 7121 the elders 2205 of the people 5971, and set 7760 before 6440 them all 3605 these 428 words 1697 which 834 the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 him.
8 All 3605 the people 5971 answered 6030 together 3164 and said 559, "All 3605 that the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696 we will do 6213!" And Moses 4872 brought 7725 back 7725 the words 1697 of the people 5971 to the LORD 3068.
9 The LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Behold 2009, I will come 935 to you in a thick 5672 cloud 6051, so 5668 that the people 5971 may hear 8085 when I speak 1696 with you and may also 1571 believe 539 in you forever 5769." Then Moses 4872 told 5046 the words 1697 of the people 5971 to the LORD 3068.
10 ¶ The LORD 3068 also said 559 to Moses 4872, "Go 1980 to the people 5971 and consecrate 6942 them today 3117 and tomorrow 4279, and let them wash 3526 their garments 8071;
11 and let them be ready 3559 for the third 7992 day 3117, for on the third 7992 day 3117 the LORD 3068 will come 3381 down 3381 on Mount 2022 Sinai 5514 in the sight 5869 of all 3605 the people 5971.
12 "You shall set 1379 bounds 1379 for the people 5971 all 5439 around 5439, saying 559, 'Beware 8104 that you do not go 5927 up on the mountain 2022 or touch 5060 the border 7097 of it; whoever 3605 touches 5060 the mountain 2022 shall surely 4191 be put 4191 to death 4191.
13 'No 3808 hand 3027 shall touch 5060 him, but he shall surely 5619 be stoned 5619 or 176 shot 3384 through 3384; whether 518 beast 929 or 518 man 376, he shall not live 2421.' When the ram's 3104 horn 3104 sounds 4900 a long 4900 blast 4900, they shall come 5927 up to the mountain 2022."
14 So Moses 4872 went 3381 down 3381 from the mountain 2022 to the people 5971 and consecrated 6942 the people 5971, and they washed 3526 their garments 8071.
15 He said 559 to the people 5971, "Be ready 3559 for the third 7969 day 3117; do not go 5066 near 5066 a woman 802."
16 ¶ So it came 1961 about on the third 7992 day 3117, when it was morning 1242, that there were thunder 6963 and lightning 1300 flashes 1300 and a thick 3515 cloud 6051 upon the mountain 2022 and a very 3966 loud 2389 trumpet 7782 sound 6963, so that all 3605 the people 5971 who 834 {were} in the camp 4264 trembled 2729.
17 And Moses 4872 brought 3318 the people 5971 out of the camp 4264 to meet 7122 God 430, and they stood 3320 at the foot 8482 of the mountain 2022.
18

The L\{ORD}/ Visits Sinai

Now Mount 2022 Sinai 5514 {was} all 3605 in smoke 6225 because the LORD 3068 descended 3381 upon it in fire 784; and its smoke 6227 ascended 5927 like the smoke 6227 of a furnace 3536, and the whole 3605 mountain 2022 quaked 2729 violently 3966.
19 When the sound 6963 of the trumpet 7782 grew 1980 louder 2388 and louder 3966, Moses 4872 spoke 1696 and God 430 answered 6030 him with thunder 6963.
20 The LORD 3068 came 3381 down 3381 on Mount 2022 Sinai 5514, to the top 7218 of the mountain 2022; and the LORD 3068 called 7121 Moses 4872 to the top 7218 of the mountain 2022, and Moses 4872 went 5927 up.
21 Then the LORD 3068 spoke 559 to Moses 4872, "Go 3381 down 3381, warn 5749 the people 5971, so 6435 that they do not break 2040 through 2040 to the LORD 3068 to gaze 7200, and many 7227 of them perish 5307.
22 "Also 1571 let the priests 3548 who come 5066 near 5066 to the LORD 3068 consecrate 6942 themselves, or 6435 else 6435 the LORD 3068 will break 6555 out against them."
23 Moses 4872 said 559 to the LORD 3068, "The people 5971 cannot come 5927 up to Mount 2022 Sinai 5514, for You warned 5749 us, saying 559, 'Set 1379 bounds 1379 about the mountain 2022 and consecrate 6942 it.'"
24 Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to him, "Go down 1980 and come 5927 up {again,} you and Aaron 175 with you; but do not let the priests 3548 and the people 5971 break 2040 through 2040 to come 5927 up to the LORD 3068, or 6435 He will break 6555 forth 6555 upon them."
25 So Moses 4872 went 3381 down 1980 to the people 5971 and told 559 them.

Chapter 20

The Ten Commandments

Then God 430 spoke 1696 all 3605 these 428 words 1697, saying 559,
2 ¶ "I am the LORD 3068 your God 430, who 834 brought 3318 you out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, out of the house 1004 of slavery 5650.
3 ¶ "You shall have 1961 no 3808 other 312 gods 430 before Me.
4 ¶ "You shall not make 6213 for yourself an idol 6459, or any 3605 likeness 8544 of what 834 is in heaven 8064 above or on the earth 776 beneath 8478 or in the water 4325 under 8478 the earth 776.
5 "You shall not worship 7812 them or serve 5647 them; for I, the LORD 3068 your God 430, am a jealous 7067 God 410, visiting 6485 the iniquity 5771 of the fathers 1 on the children 1121, on the third 8029 and the fourth 7256 generations of those who hate 8130 Me,
6 but showing 6213 lovingkindness 2617 to thousands 505, to those who love 157 Me and keep 8104 My commandments 4687.
7 ¶ "You shall not take 5375 the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 in vain 7723, for the LORD 3068 will not leave 5352 him unpunished 5352 who 834 takes 5375 His name 8034 in vain 7723.
8 ¶ "Remember 2142 the sabbath 7676 day 3117, to keep 6942 it holy 6942.
9 "Six 8337 days 3117 you shall labor 5647 and do 6213 all 3605 your work 4399,
10 but the seventh 7637 day 3117 is a sabbath 7676 of the LORD 3068 your God 430; {in it} you shall not do 6213 any 3605 work 4399, you or your son 1121 or your daughter 1323, your male 5650 or your female 519 servant or your cattle 929 or your sojourner 1616 who 834 stays with you.
11 "For in six 8337 days 3117 the LORD 3068 made 6213 the heavens 8064 and the earth 776, the sea 3220 and all 3605 that is in them, and rested 5117 on the seventh 7637 day 3117; therefore the LORD 3068 blessed 1288 the sabbath 7676 day 3117 and made 6942 it holy 6942.
12 ¶ "Honor 3513 your father 1 and your mother 517, that your days 3117 may be prolonged 748 in the land 127 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 gives 5414 you.
13 ¶ "You shall not murder 7523.
14 ¶ "You shall not commit 5003 adultery 5003.
15 ¶ "You shall not steal 1589.
16 ¶ "You shall not bear 6030 false 8267 witness 5707 against your neighbor 7453.
17 ¶ "You shall not covet 2530 your neighbor's 7453 house 1004; you shall not covet 2530 your neighbor's 7453 wife 802 or his male 5650 servant 5650 or his female 519 servant 519 or his ox 7794 or his donkey 2543 or anything 3605 that belongs to your neighbor 7453."
18 ¶ All 3605 the people 5971 perceived 7200 the thunder 6963 and the lightning 3940 flashes 3940 and the sound 6963 of the trumpet 7782 and the mountain 2022 smoking 6226; and when the people 5971 saw 7200 {it,} they trembled 5128 and stood 5975 at a distance 7350.
19 Then they said 559 to Moses 4872, "Speak 1696 to us yourself 859 and we will listen 8085; but let not God 430 speak 1696 to us, or 6435 we will die 4191."
20 Moses 4872 said 559 to the people 5971, "Do not be afraid 3372; for God 430 has come 935 in order 5668 to test 5254 you, and in order 5668 that the fear 3374 of Him may remain with you, so that you may not sin 2398."
21 So the people 5971 stood 5975 at a distance 7350, while Moses 4872 approached 5066 the thick 6205 cloud 6205 where God 430 {was.}
22 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Thus 3541 you shall say 559 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, 'You yourselves 864 have seen 7200 that I have spoken 1696 to you from heaven 8064.
23 'You shall not make 6213 {other gods} besides 854 Me; gods 430 of silver 3701 or gods 430 of gold 2091, you shall not make 6213 for yourselves 864.
24 'You shall make 6213 an altar 4196 of earth 127 for Me, and you shall sacrifice 2076 on it your burnt 5930 offerings 5930 and your peace 8002 offerings 8002, your sheep 6629 and your oxen 1241; in every 3605 place 4725 where 834 I cause My name 8034 to be remembered 2142, I will come 935 to you and bless 1288 you.
25 'If 518 you make 6213 an altar 4196 of stone 68 for Me, you shall not build 1129 it of cut 1496 stones 1496, for if you wield 5130 your tool 2719 on it, you will profane 2490 it.
26 'And you shall not go 5927 up by steps 4609 to My altar 4196, so 834 that your nakedness 6172 will not be exposed 1540 on it.'

Chapter 21

Ordinances for the People

"Now these 428 are the ordinances 4941 which 834 you are to set 7760 before 6440 them:
2 ¶ "If 3588 you buy 7069 a Hebrew 5680 slave 5650, he shall serve 5647 for six 8337 years 8141; but on the seventh 7637 he shall go 3318 out as a free 2670 man 2670 without 2600 payment 2600.
3 "If 518 he comes 935 alone 1610, he shall go 3318 out alone 1610; if 518 he is the husband 1167 of a wife 802, then his wife 802 shall go 3318 out with him.
4 "If 518 his master 113 gives 5414 him a wife 802, and she bears 3205 him sons 1121 or 176 daughters 1323, the wife 802 and her children 3206 shall belong 1961 to her master 113, and he shall go 3318 out alone 1610.
5 "But if 518 the slave 5650 plainly 559 says 559, 'I love 157 my master 113, my wife 802 and my children 1121; I will not go 3318 out as a free 2670 man 2670,'
6 then his master 113 shall bring 5066 him to God 430, then he shall bring 5066 him to the door 1817 or 176 the doorpost 4201. And his master 113 shall pierce 7527 his ear 241 with an awl 4836; and he shall serve 5647 him permanently 5769.
7 ¶ "If 3588 a man 376 sells 4376 his daughter 1323 as a female 519 slave 519, she is not to go 3318 free 3318 as the male 5650 slaves 5650 do 3318.
8 "If 518 she is displeasing 7451 in the eyes 5869 of her master 113 who 834 designated 3259 her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed 6299. He does not have 4910 authority 4910 to sell 4376 her to a foreign 5237 people 5971 because of his unfairness 898 to her.
9 "If 518 he designates 3259 her for his son 1121, he shall deal 6213 with her according to the custom 4941 of daughters 1323.
10 "If 518 he takes 3947 to himself another 312 woman 312, he may not reduce 1639 her food 7607, her clothing 3682, or her conjugal 5772 rights 5772.
11 "If 518 he will not do 6213 these 428 three 7969 {things} for her, then she shall go 3318 out for nothing 2600, without 369 {payment of} money 3701.
12

Personal Injuries

¶ "He who strikes 5221 a man 376 so that he dies 4191 shall surely 4191 be put 4191 to death 4191.
13 "But if 834 he did not lie 6658 in wait 6658 {for him,} but God 430 let 579 {him} fall 579 into his hand 3027, then I will appoint 7760 you a place 4725 to which 834 he may flee 5127.
14 "If 3588, however, a man 376 acts 2102 presumptuously 2102 toward 5921 his neighbor 7453, so as to kill 2026 him craftily 6195, you are to take 3947 him {even} from My altar 4196, that he may die 4191.
15 ¶ "He who strikes 5221 his father 1 or his mother 517 shall surely 4191 be put 4191 to death 4191.
16 ¶ "He who kidnaps 1589 a man 376, whether he sells 4376 him or he is found 4672 in his possession 3027, shall surely 4191 be put 4191 to death 4191.
17 ¶ "He who curses 7043 his father 1 or his mother 517 shall surely 4191 be put 4191 to death 4191.
18 ¶ "If 3588 men 376 have 7378 a quarrel 7378 and one 376 strikes 5221 the other 7453 with a stone 68 or 176 with {his} fist 106, and he does not die 4191 but remains 5307 in bed 4904,
19 if 518 he gets 6965 up and walks 1980 around 1980 outside 2351 on his staff 4938, then he who struck 5221 him shall go 5352 unpunished 5352; he shall only 7534 pay 5414 for his loss 7674 of time 7674, and shall take 7495 care 7495 of him until he is completely 7495 healed 7495.
20 ¶ "If 3588 a man 376 strikes 5221 his male 5650 or 176 female 519 slave with a rod 7626 and he dies 4191 at his hand 3027, he shall be punished 5358.
21 "If 518, however 389, he survives 5975 a day 3117 or 176 two, no 3808 vengeance 5358 shall be taken 5358; for he is his property 3701.
22 ¶ "If 3588 men 376 struggle 5327 with each other and strike 5062 a woman 802 with child 2030 so that she gives 3205 birth 3205 prematurely 3318, yet there is no 3808 injury 611, he shall surely 6064 be fined 6064 as the woman's 802 husband 1167 may demand 7896 of him, and he shall pay 5414 as the judges 6414 {decide.}
23 "But if 518 there is {any further} injury 611, then you shall appoint 5414 {as a penalty} life 5315 for life 5315,
24 eye 5869 for eye 5869, tooth 8127 for tooth 8127, hand 3027 for hand 3027, foot 7272 for foot 7272,
25 burn 3555 for burn 3555, wound 6482 for wound 6482, bruise 2250 for bruise 2250.
26 ¶ "If 3588 a man 376 strikes 5221 the eye 5869 of his male 5650 or 176 female 519 slave, and destroys 7843 it, he shall let him go 7971 free 2670 on account 8478 of his eye 5869.
27 "And if 518 he knocks 5307 out a tooth 8127 of his male 5650 or 176 female 519 slave, he shall let him go 7971 free 2670 on account 8478 of his tooth 8127.
28 ¶ "If 3588 an ox 7794 gores 5055 a man 376 or 176 a woman 802 to death 4191, the ox 7794 shall surely 5619 be stoned 5619 and its flesh 1320 shall not be eaten 398; but the owner 1167 of the ox 7794 shall go 5355 unpunished 5355.
29 "If 518, however, an ox 7794 was previously in the habit 5056 of goring 5056 and its owner 1167 has been warned 5749, yet he does not confine 8104 it and it kills 4191 a man 376 or 176 a woman 802, the ox 7794 shall be stoned 5619 and its owner 1167 also 1571 shall be put 4191 to death 4191.
30 "If 518 a ransom 3724 is demanded 7896 of him, then he shall give 5414 for the redemption 6306 of his life 5315 whatever is demanded 7896 of him.
31 "Whether 176 it gores 5055 a son 1121 or 176 a daughter 1323, it shall be done 6213 to him according to the same 2088 rule 4941.
32 "If 518 the ox 7794 gores 5055 a male 5650 or 176 female 519 slave, the owner shall give 5414 his {or her} master 113 thirty 7970 shekels 8255 of silver 3701, and the ox 7794 shall be stoned 5619.
33 ¶ "If 3588 a man 376 opens 6605 a pit 953, or 176 digs 3738 a pit 953 and does not cover 3680 it over, and an ox 7794 or 176 a donkey 2543 falls 5307 into it,
34 the owner 1167 of the pit 953 shall make 7999 restitution 7999; he shall give 7725 money 3701 to its owner 1167, and the dead 4191 {animal} shall become 1961 his.
35 ¶ "If 3588 one man's 376 ox 7794 hurts 5062 another's 7453 so that it dies 4191, then they shall sell 4376 the live 2416 ox 7794 and divide 2673 its price 3701 equally; and also 1571 they shall divide 2673 the dead 4191 {ox.}
36 "Or 176 {if} it is known 3045 that the ox 7794 was previously in the habit 5056 of goring 5056, yet its owner 1167 has not confined 8104 it, he shall surely 7999 pay 7999 ox 7794 for ox 7794, and the dead 4191 {animal} shall become 1961 his.

3 "{But} if 518 the sun 8121 has risen 2224 on him, there will be bloodguiltiness 1818 on his account. He shall surely 7999 make 7999 restitution 7999; if 518 he owns nothing 369, then he shall be sold 4376 for his theft 1591.
4 "If 518 what 1591 he stole 1591 is actually 4672 found 4672 alive 2416 in his possession 3027, whether 4480 an ox 7794 or 5704 a donkey 2543 or 5704 a sheep 7716, he shall pay 7999 double 8147.

10 ¶ "If 3588 a man 376 gives 5414 his neighbor 7453 a donkey 2543, an ox 7794, a sheep 7716, or 176 any 3605 animal 929 to keep 8104 {for him,} and it dies 4191 or 176 is hurt 7665 or 176 is driven 7617 away 7617 while no 369 one 369 is looking 7200,
11 an oath 7621 before the LORD 3068 shall be made 1961 by the two 8147 of them that he has not laid 7971 hands 3027 on his neighbor's 7453 property 4399; and its owner 1167 shall accept 3947 {it,} and he shall not make 7999 restitution 7999.
12 "But if 518 it is actually 1589 stolen 1589 from him, he shall make 7999 restitution 7999 to its owner 1167.
13 "If 518 it is all torn 2963 to pieces 2963, let him bring 935 it as evidence 5707; he shall not make 7999 restitution 7999 for what 2966 has been torn 2966 to pieces.
14 ¶ "If 3588 a man 376 borrows 7592 {anything} from his neighbor 7453, and it is injured 7665 or 176 dies 4191 while its owner 1167 is not with it, he shall make 7999 full 7999 restitution 7999.
15 "If 518 its owner 1167 is with it, he shall not make 7999 restitution 7999; if 518 it is hired 7916, it came 935 for its hire 7939.

23 "If 518 you afflict 6031 him at all 6031, {and} if 518 he does cry 6817 out to Me, I will surely 8085 hear 8085 his cry 6818;
24 and My anger 639 will be kindled 2734, and I will kill 2026 you with the sword 2719, and your wives 802 shall become 1961 widows 490 and your children 1121 fatherless 3490.

26 "If 518 you ever 2254 take 2254 your neighbor's 7453 cloak 8008 as a pledge 2254, you are to return 7725 it to him before 5704 the sun 8121 sets 935,
27 for that is his only 905 covering 3682; it is his cloak 8071 for his body 5785. What 4100 else shall he sleep 7901 in? And it shall come 1961 about that when 3588 he cries 6817 out to Me, I will hear 8085 {him,} for I am gracious 2587.

"You shall not bear 5375 a false 7723 report 8088; do not join 7896 your hand 3027 with a wicked 7563 man 7563 to be a malicious 2555 witness 5707.
2 "You shall not follow the masses 7227 in doing evil 7463, nor 3808 shall you testify 6030 in a dispute 7379 so as to turn 5186 aside 5186 after 310 a multitude 7227 in order to pervert 5186 {justice;}
3 nor 3808 shall you be partial 1921 to a poor 1800 man 1800 in his dispute 7379.

8 ¶ "You shall not take 3947 a bribe 7810, for a bribe 7810 blinds 5786 the clear-sighted 6493 and subverts 5557 the cause 1697 of the just 6662.
9 ¶ "You shall not oppress 3905 a stranger 1616, since you yourselves 864 know 3045 the feelings 5315 of a stranger 1616, for you {also} were strangers 1616 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
10

The Sabbath and Land

¶ "You shall sow 2232 your land 776 for six 8337 years 8141 and gather 622 in its yield 8393,
11 but {on} the seventh 7637 year 7637 you shall let 8058 it rest 8058 and lie 5203 fallow 5203, so that the needy 34 of your people 5971 may eat 398; and whatever they leave 3499 the beast 2421 of the field 7704 may eat 398. You are to do 6213 the same 3651 with your vineyard 3754 {and} your olive 2132 grove 2132.
12 ¶ "Six 8337 days 3117 you are to do 6213 your work 4639, but on the seventh 7637 day 3117 you shall cease 7673 {from labor} so 4616 that your ox 7794 and your donkey 2543 may rest 5117, and the son 1121 of your female 519 slave 519, as well as your stranger 1616, may refresh 5314 themselves.
13 "Now concerning everything 3605 which 834 I have said 559 to you, be on your guard 8104; and do not mention 2142 the name 8034 of other 312 gods 430, nor 3808 let {them} be heard 8085 from your mouth 6310.

And none 3808 shall appear 7200 before 6440 Me empty-handed 7387.
16 "Also {you shall observe} the Feast 2282 of the Harvest 7105 {of} the first 1061 fruits 1061 of your labors 4639 {from} what 834 you sow 2232 in the field 7704; also the Feast 2282 of the Ingathering 614 at the end 3318 of the year 8141 when you gather 622 in {the fruit of} your labors 4639 from the field 7704.

18 ¶ "You shall not offer 2076 the blood 1818 of My sacrifice 2077 with leavened 2557 bread 2557; nor 3808 is the fat 2459 of My feast 2282 to remain 3885 overnight 3885 until 5704 morning 1242.
19 ¶ "You shall bring 935 the choice 7225 first 1061 fruits 1061 of your soil 127 into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 your God 430.

Conquest of the Land

¶ "Behold 2009, I am going to send 7971 an angel 4397 before 6440 you to guard 8104 you along the way 1870 and to bring 935 you into the place 4725 which 834 I have prepared 3559.
21 "Be on your guard 8104 before him and obey 8085 his voice 6963; do not be rebellious 4784 toward him, for he will not pardon 5375 your transgression 6588, since 3588 My name 8034 is in him.
22 "But if 518 you truly 8085 obey 8085 his voice 6963 and do 6213 all 3605 that I say 1696, then I will be an enemy 340 to your enemies 340 and an adversary 6696 to your adversaries 6887.
23 "For My angel 4397 will go 1980 before 6440 you and bring 935 you in to {the land of} the Amorites 567, the Hittites 2850, the Perizzites 6522, the Canaanites 3669, the Hivites 2340 and the Jebusites 2983; and I will completely 3582 destroy 3582 them.
24 "You shall not worship 7812 their gods 430, nor 3808 serve 5647 them, nor 3808 do 6213 according to their deeds 4639; but you shall utterly 2040 overthrow 2040 them and break 7665 their {sacred} pillars 4676 in pieces 7665.
25 "But you shall serve 5647 the LORD 3068 your God 430, and He will bless 1288 your bread 3899 and your water 4325; and I will remove 5493 sickness 4245 from your midst 7130.
26 "There shall be no 3808 one miscarrying 7921 or barren 6135 in your land 776; I will fulfill 4390 the number 4557 of your days 3117.
27 "I will send 7971 My terror 367 ahead 6440 of you, and throw 2000 into confusion 2000 all 3605 the people 5971 among whom 834 you come 935, and I will make 5414 all 3605 your enemies 340 turn 5414 {their} backs 6203 to you.
28 "I will send 7971 hornets 6880 ahead 6440 of you so that they will drive 1644 out the Hivites 2340, the Canaanites 3669, and the Hittites 2850 before you.
29 "I will not drive 1644 them out before 4480 you in a single 259 year 8141, that the land 776 may not become 1961 desolate 8077 and the beasts 2421 of the field 7704 become 7231 too 5921 numerous 7231 for you.
30 "I will drive 1644 them out before 4480 you little 4592 by little 4592, until you become 6509 fruitful 6509 and take 5157 possession 5157 of the land 776.
31 "I will fix 7896 your boundary 1366 from the Red Sea 3220 to the sea 3220 of the Philistines 6430, and from the wilderness 4057 to the River 5104 {Euphrates;} for I will deliver 5414 the inhabitants 3427 of the land 776 into your hand 3027, and you will drive 1644 them out before 4480 you.
32 "You shall make 3772 no 3808 covenant 1285 with them or with their gods 430.
33 "They shall not live 3427 in your land 776, because 6435 they will make you sin 2398 against Me; for {if} you serve 5647 their gods 430, it will surely 3588 be a snare 4170 to you."

Chapter 24

People Affirm Their Covenant with God

Then He said 559 to Moses 4872, "Come 5927 up to the LORD 3068, you and Aaron 175, Nadab 5070 and Abihu 30 and seventy 7657 of the elders 2205 of Israel 3478, and you shall worship 7812 at a distance 7350.
2 "Moses 4872 alone 905, however, shall come 5066 near 5066 to the LORD 3068, but they shall not come 5066 near 5066, nor 3808 shall the people 5971 come 5927 up with him."
3 ¶ Then Moses 4872 came 935 and recounted 5608 to the people 5971 all 3605 the words 1697 of the LORD 3068 and all 3605 the ordinances 4941; and all 3605 the people 5971 answered 6030 with one 259 voice 6963 and said 559, "All 3605 the words 1697 which 834 the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696 we will do 6213!"
4 Moses 4872 wrote 3789 down 3789 all 3605 the words 1697 of the LORD 3068. Then he arose 7925 early 7925 in the morning 1242, and built 1129 an altar 4196 at the foot 8478 of the mountain 2022 with twelve pillars 4676 for the twelve tribes 7626 of Israel 3478.
5 He sent 7971 young 5288 men 5288 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and they offered 5927 burnt 5930 offerings 5930 and sacrificed 2076 young 6499 bulls 6499 as peace 8002 offerings 8002 to the LORD 3068.
6 Moses 4872 took 3947 half 2677 of the blood 1818 and put 7760 {it} in basins 101, and the {other} half 2677 of the blood 1818 he sprinkled 2236 on the altar 4196.
7 Then he took 3947 the book 5612 of the covenant 1285 and read 7121 {it} in the hearing 241 of the people 5971; and they said 559, "All 3605 that the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696 we will do 6213, and we will be obedient 8085!"
8 So Moses 4872 took 3947 the blood 1818 and sprinkled 2236 {it} on the people 5971, and said 559, "Behold 2009 the blood 1818 of the covenant 1285, which 834 the LORD 3068 has made 3772 with you in accordance 5921 with all 3605 these 428 words 1697."
9 ¶ Then Moses 4872 went 5927 up with Aaron 175, Nadab 5070 and Abihu 30, and seventy 7657 of the elders 2205 of Israel 3478,
10 and they saw 7200 the God 430 of Israel 3478; and under 8478 His feet 7272 there appeared to be a pavement 3843 of sapphire 5601, as clear 2892 as the sky 8064 itself 6106.
11 Yet He did not stretch 7971 out His hand 3027 against 413 the nobles 678 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; and they saw 2372 God 430, and they ate 398 and drank 8354.
12 ¶ Now the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Come 5927 up to Me on the mountain 2022 and remain 1961 there 8033, and I will give 5414 you the stone 68 tablets 3871 with the law 8451 and the commandment 4687 which 834 I have written 3789 for their instruction 3384."
13 So Moses 4872 arose 6965 with Joshua 3091 his servant 8334, and Moses 4872 went 5927 up to the mountain 2022 of God 430.
14 But to the elders 2205 he said 559, "Wait 3427 here 2088 for us until we return 7725 to you. And behold 2009, Aaron 175 and Hur 2354 are with you; whoever 4310 has a legal matter 1697, let him approach 5066 them."
15 Then Moses 4872 went 5927 up to the mountain 2022, and the cloud 6051 covered 3680 the mountain 2022.
16 The glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 rested 7931 on Mount 2022 Sinai 5514, and the cloud 6051 covered 3680 it for six 8337 days 3117; and on the seventh 7637 day 3117 He called 7121 to Moses 4872 from the midst 8432 of the cloud 6051.
17 And to the eyes 5869 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 the appearance 4758 of the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 was like a consuming 398 fire 784 on the mountain 2022 top 7218.
18 Moses 4872 entered 935 the midst 8432 of the cloud 6051 as he went 5927 up to the mountain 2022; and Moses 4872 was on the mountain 2022 forty 705 days 3117 and forty 705 nights 3915.

Offerings for the Sanctuary

Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
2 "Tell 1696 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 to raise 3947 a contribution 8641 for Me; from every 3605 man 376 whose 834 heart 3820 moves 5068 him you shall raise 3947 My contribution 8641.
3 "This 2088 is the contribution 8641 which 834 you are to raise 3947 from them: gold 2091, silver 3701 and bronze 5178,
4 blue 8504, purple 713 and scarlet 8144 {material,} fine 8336 linen 8336, goat 5795 {hair,}
5 rams' 352 skins 5785 dyed 119 red 119, porpoise 8476 skins 5785, acacia 7848 wood 6086,
6 oil 8081 for lighting 3974, spices 1314 for the anointing 4888 oil 8081 and for the fragrant 5561 incense 7004,
7 onyx 7718 stones 68 and setting 4394 stones 68 for the ephod 646 and for the breastpiece 2833.
8 "Let them construct 6213 a sanctuary 4720 for Me, that I may dwell 7931 among 8432 them.
9 "According to all 3605 that I am going to show 7200 you, {as} the pattern 8403 of the tabernacle 4908 and the pattern 8403 of all 3605 its furniture 3627, just so 3651 you shall construct 6213 {it.}
10

Ark of the Covenant

¶ "They shall construct 6213 an ark 727 of acacia 7848 wood 6086 two and a half 2677 cubits 520 long 753, and one and a half 2677 cubits 520 wide 7341, and one and a half 2677 cubits 520 high 6967.
11 "You shall overlay 6823 it with pure 2889 gold 2091, inside and out you shall overlay 6823 it, and you shall make 6213 a gold 2091 molding 2213 around 5439 it.
12 "You shall cast 3332 four 702 gold 2091 rings 2885 for it and fasten 5414 them on its four 702 feet 6471, and two 8147 rings 2885 shall be on one 259 side 6763 of it and two 8147 rings 2885 on the other 8145 side 6763 of it.

14 "But the flesh 1320 of the bull 6499 and its hide 5785 and its refuse 6569, you shall burn 8313 with fire 784 outside the camp 4264; it is a sin 2403 offering 2403.

26 ¶ "Then you shall take 3947 the breast 2373 of Aaron's 175 ram 352 of ordination 4394, and wave 5130 it as a wave 8573 offering 8573 before 6440 the LORD 3068; and it shall be your portion 4490.
27 "You shall consecrate 6942 the breast 2373 of the wave 8573 offering 8573 and the thigh 7785 of the heave 8641 offering 8641 which 834 was waved 5130 and which 834 was offered 7311 from the ram 352 of ordination 4394, from the one which 834 was for Aaron 175 and from the one which 834 was for his sons 1121.
28 "It shall be for Aaron 175 and his sons 1121 as {their} portion 2706 forever 5769 from the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, for it is a heave 8641 offering 8641; and it shall be a heave 8641 offering 8641 from the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 from the sacrifices 2077 of their peace 8002 offerings 8002, {even} their heave 8641 offering 8641 to the LORD 3068.
29 ¶ "The holy 6944 garments 899 of Aaron 175 shall be for his sons 1121 after 310 him, that in them they may be anointed 4886 and ordained.
30 "For seven 7651 days 3117 the one of his sons 1121 who is priest 3548 in his stead 8478 shall put 3847 them on when 834 he enters 935 the tent 168 of meeting 4150 to minister 8334 in the holy 6944 place.

Food of the Priests

¶ "You shall take 3947 the ram 352 of ordination 4394 and boil 1310 its flesh 1320 in a holy 6918 place 4725.
32 "Aaron 175 and his sons 1121 shall eat 398 the flesh 1320 of the ram 352 and the bread 3899 that is in the basket 5536, at the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150.
33 "Thus they shall eat 398 those things by which 834 atonement 3722 was made 3722 at their ordination {and} consecration 6942; but a layman 2114 shall not eat 398 {them,} because 3588 they are holy 6944.
34 "If 518 any 4480 of the flesh 1320 of ordination 4394 or any 4480 of the bread 3899 remains 3498 until 5704 morning 1242, then you shall burn 8313 the remainder 3498 with fire 784; it shall not be eaten 398, because 3588 it is holy 6944.
35 ¶ "Thus 3602 you shall do 6213 to Aaron 175 and to his sons 1121, according to all 3605 that I have commanded 6680 you; you shall ordain them through seven 7651 days 3117.
36 "Each day 3117 you shall offer 6213 a bull 6499 as a sin 2403 offering 2403 for atonement 3725, and you shall purify 2398 the altar 4196 when you make 3722 atonement 3722 for it, and you shall anoint 4886 it to consecrate 6942 it.
37 "For seven 7651 days 3117 you shall make 3722 atonement 3722 for the altar 4196 and consecrate 6942 it; then the altar 4196 shall be most 6944 holy 6944, {and} whatever 3605 touches 5060 the altar 4196 shall be holy 6942.
38 ¶ "Now this 2088 is what 834 you shall offer 6213 on the altar 4196: two 8147 one year 8141 old 1121 lambs 3532 each day 3117, continuously 8548.
39 "The one 259 lamb 3532 you shall offer 6213 in the morning 1242 and the other 8145 lamb 3532 you shall offer 6213 at twilight 6153;
40 and there {shall be} one-tenth 6241 {of an ephah} of fine 5560 flour 5560 mixed 1101 with one-fourth 7253 of a hin 1969 of beaten 3795 oil 8081, and one-fourth 7243 of a hin 1969 of wine 3196 for a drink 5262 offering 5262 with one 259 lamb 3532.
41 "The other 8145 lamb 3532 you shall offer 6213 at twilight 6153, and shall offer 6213 with it the same grain offering 4503 and the same drink 5262 offering 5262 as in the morning 1242, for a soothing 5207 aroma 7381, an offering 801 by fire 801 to the LORD 3068.
42 "It shall be a continual 8548 burnt 5930 offering 5930 throughout your generations 1755 at the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150 before 6440 the LORD 3068, where I will meet 3259 with you, to speak 1696 to you there 8033.
43 "I will meet 3259 there 8033 with the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and it shall be consecrated 6942 by My glory 3519.
44 "I will consecrate 6942 the tent 168 of meeting 4150 and the altar 4196; I will also consecrate 6942 Aaron 175 and his sons 1121 to minister 3547 as priests 3547 to Me.
45 "I will dwell 7931 among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and will be their God 430.
46 "They shall know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068 their God 430 who 834 brought 3318 them out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, that I might dwell 7931 among 8432 them; I am the LORD 3068 their God 430.

2 "Its length 753 {shall be} a cubit 520, and its width 7341 a cubit 520, it shall be square 7251, and its height 6967 {shall be} two cubits 520; its horns 7161 {shall be} of one piece with it.
3 "You shall overlay 6823 it with pure 2889 gold 2091, its top 1406 and its sides 7023 all 5439 around 5439, and its horns 7161; and you shall make 6213 a gold 2091 molding 2213 all 5439 around 5439 for it.
4 "You shall make 6213 two 8147 gold 2091 rings 2885 for it under 8478 its molding 2213; you shall make 6213 {them} on its two 8147 side 6654 walls 6763--on opposite 8147 sides 6654--and they shall be holders 1004 for poles 905 with which 1992 to carry 5375 it.
5 "You shall make 6213 the poles 905 of acacia 7848 wood 6086 and overlay 6823 them with gold 2091.
6 "You shall put 5414 this altar in front 6440 of the veil 6532 that is near 5921 the ark 727 of the testimony 5715, in front 6440 of the mercy 3727 seat 3727 that is over 5921 {the ark of} the testimony 5715, where I will meet 3259 with you.
7 "Aaron 175 shall burn 6999 fragrant 5561 incense 7004 on it; he shall burn 6999 it every morning 1242 when he trims 3190 the lamps 5216.
8 "When Aaron 175 trims 5927 the lamps 5216 at twilight 6153, he shall burn 6999 incense 6999. {There shall be} perpetual 8548 incense 7004 before 6440 the LORD 3068 throughout your generations 1755.
9 "You shall not offer 5927 any strange 2114 incense 7004 on this altar, or burnt 5930 offering 5930 or meal 4503 offering 4503; and you shall not pour 5258 out a drink 5262 offering 5262 on it.
10 "Aaron 175 shall make 3722 atonement 3722 on its horns 7161 once 259 a year 8141; he shall make 3722 atonement 3722 on it with the blood 1818 of the sin 2403 offering 2403 of atonement 3725 once 259 a year 8141 throughout your generations 1755. It is most 6944 holy 6944 to the LORD 3068."
11 ¶ The LORD 3068 also spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
12 "When 3588 you take 5375 a census 7218 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 to number 6485 them, then each 376 one 376 of them shall give 5414 a ransom 3724 for himself 5315 to the LORD 3068, when you number 6485 them, so that there will be no 3808 plague 5063 among them when you number 6485 them.
13 "This 2088 is what everyone 3605 who is numbered 6485 shall give 5414: half 4276 a shekel 8255 according to the shekel 8255 of the sanctuary 6944 (the shekel 8255 is twenty 6242 gerahs 1626), half 4276 a shekel 8255 as a contribution 8641 to the LORD 3068.
14 "Everyone 3605 who is numbered 6485, from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and over 4605, shall give 5414 the contribution 8641 to the LORD 3068.
15 "The rich 6223 shall not pay 7235 more 7235 and the poor 1800 shall not pay 4591 less 4591 than 4480 the half 4276 shekel 8255, when you give 5414 the contribution 8641 to the LORD 3068 to make 3722 atonement 3722 for yourselves 5315.
16 "You shall take 3947 the atonement 3725 money 3701 from the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 and shall give 5414 it for the service 5656 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150, that it may be a memorial 2146 for the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 before 6440 the LORD 3068, to make 3722 atonement 3722 for yourselves 5315."
17 ¶ The LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
18 "You shall also make 6213 a laver 3595 of bronze 5178, with its base 3653 of bronze 5178, for washing 7364; and you shall put 5414 it between 996 the tent 168 of meeting 4150 and the altar 4196, and you shall put 5414 water 4325 in it.
19 "Aaron 175 and his sons 1121 shall wash 7364 their hands 3027 and their feet 7272 from it;
20 when they enter 935 the tent 168 of meeting 4150, they shall wash 7364 with water 4325, so that they will not die 4191; or 176 when they approach 5066 the altar 4196 to minister 8334, by offering 6999 up in smoke 6999 a fire 801 {sacrifice} to the LORD 3068.
21 "So they shall wash 7364 their hands 3027 and their feet 7272, so that they will not die 4191; and it shall be a perpetual 5769 statute 2706 for them, for Aaron and his descendants 2233 throughout their generations 1755."
22

The Anointing Oil

¶ Moreover, the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
23 "Take 3947 also for yourself the finest 7218 of spices 1314: of flowing 1865 myrrh 4753 five 2568 hundred 3967 {shekels,} and of fragrant 1314 cinnamon 7076 half 4276 as much 4276, two hundred 3967 and fifty 2572, and of fragrant 1314 cane 7070 two hundred 3967 and fifty 2572,
24 and of cassia 6916 five 2568 hundred 3967, according to the shekel 8255 of the sanctuary 6944, and of olive 2132 oil 8081 a hin 1969.
25 "You shall make 6213 of these a holy 6944 anointing 4888 oil 8081, a perfume 7545 mixture 4842, the work 7660 of a perfumer 7543; it shall be a holy 6944 anointing 4888 oil 8081.
26 "With it you shall anoint 4886 the tent 168 of meeting 4150 and the ark 727 of the testimony 5715,
27 and the table 7979 and all 3605 its utensils 3627, and the lampstand 4501 and its utensils 3627, and the altar 4196 of incense 7004,
28 and the altar 4196 of burnt 5930 offering 5930 and all 3605 its utensils 3627, and the laver 3595 and its stand 3653.
29 "You shall also consecrate 6942 them, that they may be most 6944 holy 6944; whatever 3605 touches 5060 them shall be holy 6942.
30 "You shall anoint 4886 Aaron 175 and his sons 1121, and consecrate 6942 them, that they may minister 3547 as priests 3547 to Me.
31 "You shall speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, saying 559, 'This 2088 shall be a holy 6944 anointing 4888 oil 8081 to Me throughout your generations 1755.
32 'It shall not be poured 5480 on anyone's 120 body 1320, nor 3808 shall you make 6213 {any} like 3644 it in the same proportions 4971; it is holy 6944, {and} it shall be holy 6944 to you.
33 'Whoever shall mix 7543 {any} like 3644 it or whoever 834 puts 5414 any 4480 of it on a layman 2114 shall be cut 3772 off 3772 from his people 5971.'"
34

The Incense

¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Take 3947 for yourself spices 5561, stacte 5198 and onycha 7827 and galbanum 2464, spices 5561 with pure 2134 frankincense 3828; there shall be an equal part 905 of each 905.
35 "With it you shall make 6213 incense 7004, a perfume 7545, the work 7660 of a perfumer 7543, salted 4414, pure 2889, {and} holy 6944.
36 "You shall beat 7833 some 4480 of it very 1854 fine 1854, and put 5414 part of it before 6440 the testimony 5715 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150 where I will meet 3259 with you; it shall be most 6944 holy 6944 to you.
37 "The incense 7004 which 834 you shall make 6213, you shall not make 6213 in the same proportions 4971 for yourselves; it shall be holy 6944 to you for the LORD 3068.
38 "Whoever shall make 6213 {any} like 3644 it, to use 7381 as perfume 7381, shall be cut 3772 off 3772 from his people 5971."

Chapter 31

The Skilled Craftsmen

Now the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
2 "See 7200, I have called 7121 by name 8034 Bezalel 1212, the son 1121 of Uri 221, the son 1121 of Hur 2354, of the tribe 4294 of Judah 3063.
3 "I have filled 4390 him with the Spirit 7307 of God 430 in wisdom 2451, in understanding 8394, in knowledge 1847, and in all 3605 {kinds of} craftsmanship 4399,
4 to make 2803 artistic designs 4284 for work 6213 in gold 2091, in silver 3701, and in bronze 5178,
5 and in the cutting 2799 of stones 68 for settings 4390, and in the carving 2799 of wood 6086, that he may work 6213 in all 3605 {kinds of} craftsmanship 4399.
6 "And behold 2009, I Myself 589 have appointed 5414 with him Oholiab 171, the son 1121 of Ahisamach 294, of the tribe 4294 of Dan 1835; and in the hearts 3820 of all 3605 who 2450 are skillful I have put 5414 skill 2451, that they may make 6213 all 3605 that I have commanded 6680 you:
7 the tent 168 of meeting 4150, and the ark 727 of testimony 5715, and the mercy 3727 seat 3727 upon it, and all 3605 the furniture 3627 of the tent 168,
8 the table 7979 also and its utensils 3627, and the pure 2889 {gold} lampstand 4501 with all 3605 its utensils 3627, and the altar 4196 of incense 7004,
9 the altar 4196 of burnt 5930 offering 5930 also with all 3605 its utensils 3627, and the laver 3595 and its stand 3653,
10 the woven 8278 garments 899 as well, and the holy 6944 garments 899 for Aaron 175 the priest 3548, and the garments 899 of his sons 1121, {with which} to carry 3547 on their priesthood 3547;
11 the anointing 4888 oil 8081 also, and the fragrant 5561 incense 7004 for the holy 6944 place, they are to make 6213 {them} according to all 3605 that I have commanded 6680 you."
12

The Sign of the Sabbath

¶ The LORD 3068 spoke 559 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
13 "But as for you, speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, saying 559, 'You shall surely 389 observe 8104 My sabbaths 7676; for {this} is a sign 226 between 996 Me and you throughout your generations 1755, that you may know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068 who sanctifies 6942 you.
14 'Therefore you are to observe 8104 the sabbath 7676, for it is holy 6944 to you. Everyone who profanes 2490 it shall surely 4191 be put 4191 to death 4191; for whoever 3605 does 6213 any 3605 work 4399 on it, that person 5315 shall be cut 3772 off 3772 from among 7130 his people 5971.
15 'For six 8337 days 3117 work 4399 may be done 6213, but on the seventh 7637 day 3117 there is a sabbath 7676 of complete 7677 rest 7677, holy 6944 to the LORD 3068; whoever 3605 does 6213 any 3605 work 4399 on the sabbath 7676 day 3117 shall surely 4191 be put 4191 to death 4191.
16 'So the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 shall observe 8104 the sabbath 7676, to celebrate 6213 the sabbath 7676 throughout their generations 1755 as a perpetual 5769 covenant 1285.'
17 "It is a sign 226 between 996 Me and the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 forever 5769; for in six 8337 days 3117 the LORD 3068 made 6213 heaven 8064 and earth 776, but on the seventh 7637 day 3117 He ceased 7673 {from labor,} and was refreshed 5314."
18 ¶ When He had finished 3615 speaking 1696 with him upon Mount 2022 Sinai 5514, He gave 5414 Moses 4872 the two 8147 tablets 3871 of the testimony 5715, tablets 3871 of stone 68, written 3789 by the finger 676 of God 430.

Chapter 32


1

The Golden Calf

Now when the people 5971 saw 7200 that Moses 4872 delayed 954 to come 3381 down 3381 from the mountain 2022, the people 5971 assembled 6950 about 5921 Aaron 175 and said 559 to him, "Come 6965, make 6213 us a god 430 who 834 will go 1980 before 6440 us; as for this 2088 Moses 4872, the man 376 who 834 brought 5927 us up from the land 776 of Egypt 4714, we do not know 3045 what 4100 has become 1961 of him."
2 Aaron 175 said 559 to them, "Tear 6561 off 6561 the gold 2091 rings 5141 which 834 are in the ears 241 of your wives 802, your sons 1121, and your daughters 1323, and bring 935 {them} to me."
3 Then all 3605 the people 5971 tore 6561 off 6561 the gold 2091 rings 5141 which 834 were in their ears 241 and brought 935 {them} to Aaron 175.
4 He took 3947 {this} from their hand 3027, and fashioned 6696 it with a graving 2747 tool 2747 and made 6213 it into a molten 4541 calf 5695; and they said 559, "This 428 is your god 430, O Israel 3478, who 834 brought 5927 you up from the land 776 of Egypt 4714."
5 Now when Aaron 175 saw 7200 {this,} he built 1129 an altar 4196 before 6440 it; and Aaron 175 made 7121 a proclamation 7121 and said 559, "Tomorrow 4279 {shall be} a feast 2282 to the LORD 3068."
6 So the next 4283 day 4283 they rose 7965 early 7925 and offered 5927 burnt 5930 offerings 5930, and brought 5066 peace 8002 offerings 8002; and the people 5971 sat 3427 down 3427 to eat 398 and to drink 8354, and rose 6925 up to play 6711.
7 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, "Go 1980 down at once 3381, for your people 5971, whom 834 you brought 5927 up from the land 776 of Egypt 4714, have corrupted 7843 {themselves.}
8 "They have quickly 4118 turned 5493 aside 5493 from the way 1870 which 834 I commanded 6680 them. They have made 6213 for themselves a molten 4541 calf 5695, and have worshiped 7812 it and have sacrificed 2076 to it and said 559, 'This 428 is your god 430, O Israel 3478, who 834 brought 5927 you up from the land 776 of Egypt 4714!'"
9 The LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "I have seen 7200 this 2088 people 5971, and behold 2009, they are an obstinate people 5971.
10 "Now 6258 then let 5117 Me alone 5117, that My anger 639 may burn 2734 against them and that I may destroy 3615 them; and I will make 6213 of you a great 1419 nation 1471."
11

Moses' Entreaty

¶ Then Moses 4872 entreated 2470 the LORD 3068 his God 430, and said 559, "O LORD 3068, why 4100 does Your anger 639 burn 2734 against Your people 5971 whom 834 You have brought 3318 out from the land 776 of Egypt 4714 with great 1419 power 3581 and with a mighty 2389 hand 3027?
12 "Why 4100 should the Egyptians 4714 speak 559, saying 559, 'With evil 7463 {intent} He brought 3318 them out to kill 2026 them in the mountains 2022 and to destroy 3615 them from the face 6440 of the earth 127'? Turn 7725 from Your burning 2740 anger 639 and change 5162 Your mind 5162 about 5921 {doing} harm 7463 to Your people 5971.
13 "Remember 2142 Abraham 85, Isaac 3327, and Israel 3478, Your servants 5650 to whom 834 You swore 7650 by Yourself, and said 1696 to them, 'I will multiply 7235 your descendants 2233 as the stars 3556 of the heavens 8064, and all 3605 this 2088 land 776 of which 834 I have spoken 559 I will give 5414 to your descendants 2233, and they shall inherit 5157 {it} forever 5769.'"
14 So the LORD 3068 changed 5162 His mind 5162 about 5921 the harm 7463 which 834 He said 1696 He would do 6213 to His people 5971.
15 ¶ Then Moses 4872 turned 6437 and went 3381 down 3381 from the mountain 2022 with the two 8147 tablets 3871 of the testimony 5715 in his hand 3027, tablets 3871 which were written 3789 on both 8147 sides 5676; they were written 3789 on one 2088 {side} and the other 2088.
16 The tablets 3871 were God's 430 work 4639, and the writing 4385 was God's 430 writing 4385 engraved 2801 on the tablets 3871.
17 Now when Joshua 3091 heard 8085 the sound 6963 of the people 5971 as they shouted 7452, he said 559 to Moses 4872, "There is a sound 6963 of war 4421 in the camp 4264."
18 But he said 559, "It is not the sound 6963 of the cry 6031 of triumph 1369, Nor 369 is it the sound 6963 of the cry 6031 of defeat 2476; But the sound 6963 of singing 6031 I hear 8085."
19

Moses' Anger

It came 1961 about, as soon 3512 as Moses came 7126 near 7126 the camp 4264, that he saw 7200 the calf 5695 and {the} dancing 4246; and Moses' 4872 anger 639 burned 2734, and he threw 7993 the tablets 3871 from his hands 3027 and shattered 7665 them at the foot 8478 of the mountain 2022.
20 He took 3947 the calf 5695 which 834 they had made 6213 and burned 8313 {it} with fire 784, and ground 2912 it to powder, and scattered 2219 it over 5921 the surface 6440 of the water 4325 and made the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 drink 8248 {it.}
21 ¶ Then Moses 4872 said 559 to Aaron 175, "What 4100 did this 2088 people 5971 do 6213 to you, that you have brought 935 {such} great 1419 sin 2401 upon them?"
22 Aaron 175 said 559, "Do not let the anger 639 of my lord 113 burn 2734; you know 3045 the people 5971 yourself 859, that they are prone to evil 7451.
23 "For they said 559 to me, 'Make 6213 a god 430 for us who 834 will go 1980 before 6440 us; for this 2088 Moses 4872, the man 376 who 834 brought 5927 us up from the land 776 of Egypt 4714, we do not know 3045 what 4100 has become 1961 of him.'
24 "I said 559 to them, 'Whoever 4310 has any gold 2091, let them tear 6561 it off 6561.' So they gave 5414 {it} to me, and I threw 7993 it into the fire 784, and out came 3318 this 2088 calf 5695."
25 ¶ Now when Moses 4872 saw 7200 that the people 5971 were out of control 6544--for Aaron 175 had let them get 6544 out of control 6544 to be a derision 8103 among their enemies 6965--
26 then Moses 4872 stood 5975 in the gate 8179 of the camp 4264, and said 559, "Whoever 4310 is for the LORD 3068, {come} to me!" And all 3605 the sons 1121 of Levi 3878 gathered 622 together to him.
27 He said 559 to them, "Thus 3541 says 1696 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, 'Every 376 man 376 {of you} put 7760 his sword 2719 upon his thigh 3409, and go back 7725 and forth 5674 from gate 8179 to gate 8179 in the camp 4264, and kill 2026 every 376 man 376 his brother 251, and every 376 man 376 his friend 7453, and every 376 man 376 his neighbor 7453.'"
28 So the sons 1121 of Levi 3878 did 6213 as Moses 4872 instructed 1697, and about three 7969 thousand 505 men 376 of the people 5971 fell 5307 that day 3117.
29 Then Moses 4872 said 559, "Dedicate 4390 yourselves 3027 today 3117 to the LORD 3068--for every 376 man 376 has been against his son 1121 and against his brother 251--in order that He may bestow 5414 a blessing 1293 upon you today 3117."
30 ¶ On the next 4283 day 4283 Moses 4872 said 559 to the people 5971, "You yourselves 864 have committed 2398 a great 1419 sin 2401; and now 6258 I am going 5927 up to the LORD 3068, perhaps 194 I can make 3722 atonement 3722 for your sin 2403."
31 Then Moses 4872 returned 7725 to the LORD 3068, and said 559, "Alas 577, this 2088 people 5971 has committed 2398 a great 1419 sin 2401, and they have made 6213 a god 430 of gold 2091 for themselves.
32 "But now 6258, if 518 You will, forgive 5375 their sin 2403--and if 518 not, please 4994 blot 4229 me out from Your book 5612 which 834 You have written 3789!"
33 The LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Whoever has sinned 2398 against Me, I will blot 4229 him out of My book 5612.
34 "But go 1980 now 6258, lead 5148 the people 5971 where I told 1696 you. Behold 2009, My angel 4397 shall go 1980 before 6440 you; nevertheless in the day 3117 when I punish 6485, I will punish 6485 them for their sin 2403."
35 Then the LORD 3068 smote 5062 the people 5971, because of what 834 they did 6213 with the calf 5695 which 834 Aaron 175 had made 6213.

The Journey Resumed

Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, "Depart 1980, go 5927 up from here 2088, you and the people 5971 whom 834 you have brought 5927 up from the land 776 of Egypt 4714, to the land 776 of which 834 I swore 7650 to Abraham 85, Isaac 3327, and Jacob 3290, saying 559, 'To your descendants 2233 I will give 5414 it.'
2 "I will send 7971 an angel 4397 before 6440 you and I will drive 1644 out the Canaanite 3669, the Amorite 567, the Hittite 2850, the Perizzite 6522, the Hivite 2340 and the Jebusite 2983.
3 "{Go up} to a land 776 flowing 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706; for I will not go 5927 up in your midst 7130, because 3588 you are an obstinate people 5971, and I might 6435 destroy 3615 you on the way 1870."
4 ¶ When the people 5971 heard 8085 this 2088 sad 7451 word 1697, they went 56 into mourning 56, and none of them put 7896 on his ornaments 5716.
5 For the LORD 3068 had said 559 to Moses 4872, "Say 559 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, 'You are an obstinate people 5971; should I go 5927 up in your midst 7130 for one 259 moment 7281, I would destroy 3615 you. Now 6258 therefore, put 3381 off 3381 your ornaments 5716 from you, that I may know 3045 what 4100 I shall do 6213 with you.'"
6 So the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 stripped 5337 themselves of their ornaments 5716, from Mount 2022 Horeb 2722 {onward.}
7 ¶ Now Moses 4872 used to take 3947 the tent 168 and pitch 5186 it outside the camp 4264, a good 7368 distance 7368 from the camp 4264, and he called 7121 it the tent 168 of meeting 4150. And everyone 3605 who sought 1245 the LORD 3068 would go 3318 out to the tent 168 of meeting 4150 which 834 was outside the camp 4264.
8 And it came 1961 about, whenever Moses 4872 went 3318 out to the tent 168, that all 3605 the people 5971 would arise 6965 and stand 5324, each 376 at the entrance 6607 of his tent 168, and gaze 5027 after 310 Moses 4872 until 5704 he entered 935 the tent 168.
9 Whenever Moses 4872 entered 935 the tent 168, the pillar 5982 of cloud 6051 would descend 3381 and stand 5975 at the entrance 6607 of the tent 168; and the LORD would speak 1696 with Moses 4872.
10 When all 3605 the people 5971 saw 7200 the pillar 5982 of cloud 6051 standing 5975 at the entrance 6607 of the tent 168, all 3605 the people 5971 would arise 6965 and worship 7812, each 376 at the entrance 6607 of his tent 168.
11 Thus the LORD 3068 used to speak 1696 to Moses 4872 face 6440 to face 6440, just 3512 as a man 376 speaks 1696 to his friend 7453. When Moses returned 7725 to the camp 4264, his servant 8334 Joshua 3091, the son 1121 of Nun 5126, a young 5288 man 5288, would not depart 4185 from the tent 168.
12

Moses Intercedes

¶ Then Moses 4872 said 559 to the LORD 3068, "See 7200, You say 559 to me, 'Bring 5927 up this 2088 people 5971!' But You Yourself 859 have not let me know 3045 whom 834 You will send 7971 with me. Moreover, You have said 559, 'I have known 3045 you by name 8034, and you have also 1571 found 4672 favor 2580 in My sight 5869.'
13 "Now 6258 therefore, I pray 4994 You, if 518 I have found 4672 favor 2580 in Your sight 5869, let me know 3045 Your ways 1870 that I may know 3045 You, so 4616 that I may find 4672 favor 2580 in Your sight 5869. Consider 7200 too, that this 2088 nation 1471 is Your people 5971."
14 And He said 559, "My presence 6440 shall go 1980 {with you,} and I will give 5117 you rest 5117."
15 Then he said 559 to Him, "If 518 Your presence 6440 does not go 1980 {with us,} do not lead 5927 us up from here 2088.
16 "For how 4100 then 645 can it be known 3045 that I have found 4672 favor 2580 in Your sight 5869, I and Your people 5971? Is it not by Your going 1980 with us, so that we, I and Your people 5971, may be distinguished 6395 from all 3605 the {other} people 5971 who 834 are upon the face 6440 of the earth 127?"
17 ¶ The LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "I will also 1571 do 6213 this 2088 thing 1697 of which 834 you have spoken 1696; for you have found 4672 favor 2580 in My sight 5869 and I have known 3045 you by name 8034."
18 Then Moses said 559, "I pray 4994 You, show 7200 me Your glory 3519!"
19 And He said 559, "I Myself 589 will make all 3605 My goodness 2898 pass 5674 before you, and will proclaim 7121 the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 before 6440 you; and I will be gracious 2603 to whom 834 I will be gracious 2603, and will show 7355 compassion 7355 on whom 834 I will show 7355 compassion 7355."
20 But He said 559, "You cannot see 7200 My face 6440, for no 3808 man 120 can see 7200 Me and live 2421!"
21 Then the LORD 3068 said 559, "Behold 2009, there is a place 4725 by Me, and you shall stand 5324 {there} on the rock 6697;
22 and it will come 1961 about, while My glory 3519 is passing 5674 by, that I will put 7760 you in the cleft 5366 of the rock 6697 and cover 7917 you with My hand 3709 until 5704 I have passed 5674 by.
23 "Then I will take 5493 My hand 3709 away 5493 and you shall see 7200 My back 268, but My face 6440 shall not be seen 7200."

Chapter 34

The Two Tablets Replaced

Now the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Cut 6458 out for yourself two 8147 stone 68 tablets 3871 like the former 7223 ones 7223, and I will write 3789 on the tablets 3871 the words 1697 that were on the former 7223 tablets 3871 which 834 you shattered 7665.
2 "So be ready 3559 by morning 1242, and come 5927 up in the morning 1242 to Mount 2022 Sinai 5514, and present 5324 yourself 5324 there 8033 to Me on the top 7218 of the mountain 2022.
3 "No 3808 man 376 is to come 5927 up with you, nor 408 let any 1571 man 376 be seen 7200 anywhere 3605 on the mountain 2022; even 1571 the flocks 6629 and the herds 1241 may not graze 7462 in front 4136 of that mountain 2022."
4 So he cut 6458 out two 8147 stone 68 tablets 3871 like the former 7223 ones 7223, and Moses 4872 rose 7925 up early 7925 in the morning 1242 and went 5927 up to Mount 2022 Sinai 5514, as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 him, and he took 3947 two 8147 stone 68 tablets 3871 in his hand 3027.
5 The LORD 3068 descended 3381 in the cloud 6051 and stood 3320 there 8033 with him as he called 7121 upon the name 8034 of the LORD 3068.
6 Then the LORD 3068 passed 5674 by in front 6440 of him and proclaimed 7121, "The LORD 3068, the LORD 3068 God 410, compassionate 7349 and gracious 2587, slow 750 to anger 639, and abounding 7227 in lovingkindness 2617 and truth 571;
7 who keeps 5341 lovingkindness 2617 for thousands 505, who forgives 5375 iniquity 5771, transgression 6588 and sin 2403; yet He will by no 3808 means 5352 leave 5352 {the guilty} unpunished 5352, visiting 6485 the iniquity 5771 of fathers 1 on the children 1121 and on the grandchildren 1121 to the third 8029 and fourth 7256 generations."
8 Moses 4872 made 4116 haste 4116 to bow 6915 low 6915 toward 413 the earth 776 and worship 7812.
9 He said 559, "If 518 now 4994 I have found 4672 favor 2580 in Your sight 5869, O Lord 136, I pray 4994, let the Lord 136 go 1980 along in our midst 7130, even 3588 though 3588 the people 5971 are so obstinate, and pardon 5545 our iniquity 5771 and our sin 2403, and take 5157 us as Your own possession 5157."
10

The Covenant Renewed

¶ Then God said 559, "Behold 2009, I am going to make 3772 a covenant 1285. Before 5048 all 3605 your people 5971 I will perform 6213 miracles 6381 which 834 have not been produced 1254 in all 3605 the earth 776 nor 3808 among any 3605 of the nations 1471; and all 3605 the people 5971 among 7130 whom 834 you live will see 7200 the working 4639 of the LORD 3068, for it is a fearful 3372 thing 3372 that I am going to perform 6213 with you.
11 ¶ "Be sure to observe 8104 what 834 I am commanding 6680 you this day 3117: behold 2009, I am going to drive 1644 out the Amorite 567 before you, and the Canaanite 3669, the Hittite 2850, the Perizzite 6522, the Hivite 2340 and the Jebusite 2983.
12 "Watch 8104 yourself that you make 3772 no 6435 covenant 1285 with the inhabitants 3427 of the land 776 into which 834 you are going 935, or 6435 it will become 1961 a snare 4170 in your midst 7130.
13 "But {rather,} you are to tear 5422 down 5422 their altars 4196 and smash 7665 their {sacred} pillars 4676 and cut 3772 down 3772 their Asherim 842
14 --for you shall not worship 7812 any 312 other 312 god 410, for the LORD 3068, whose name 8034 is Jealous 7067, is a jealous 7067 God 410--
15 otherwise 6435 you might 6435 make 3772 a covenant 1285 with the inhabitants 3427 of the land 776 and they would play 2181 the harlot 2181 with their gods 430 and sacrifice 2076 to their gods 430, and someone might invite 7121 you to eat 398 of his sacrifice 2077,
16 and you might take 3947 some 4480 of his daughters 1323 for your sons 1121, and his daughters 1323 might play 2181 the harlot 2181 with their gods 430 and cause your sons 1121 {also} to play 2181 the harlot 2181 with their gods 430.
17 "You shall make 6213 for yourself no 3808 molten 4541 gods 430.
18 ¶ "You shall observe 8104 the Feast 2282 of Unleavened 4682 Bread 4682. For seven 7651 days 3117 you are to eat 398 unleavened 4682 bread 4682, as I commanded 6680 you, at the appointed 4150 time 4150 in the month 2320 of Abib 24, for in the month 2320 of Abib 24 you came 3318 out of Egypt 4714.
19 ¶ "The first 6363 offspring 6363 from every 3605 womb 7358 belongs to Me, and all 3605 your male 2145 livestock 4735, the first 6363 offspring 6363 from cattle 7794 and sheep 7716.
20 "You shall redeem 6299 with a lamb 7716 the first 6363 offspring 6363 from a donkey 2543; and if 518 you do not redeem 6299 {it,} then you shall break 6202 its neck 6202. You shall redeem 6299 all 3605 the firstborn 1060 of your sons 1121. None 3808 shall appear 7200 before 6440 Me empty-handed 7387.
21 ¶ "You shall work 5647 six 8337 days 3117, but on the seventh 7637 day 3117 you shall rest 7673; {even} during plowing 2758 time 2758 and harvest 7105 you shall rest 7673.
22 "You shall celebrate 6213 the Feast 2282 of Weeks 7620, {that is,} the first 1061 fruits 1061 of the wheat 2406 harvest 7105, and the Feast 2282 of Ingathering 614 at the turn 8622 of the year 8141.
23 "Three 7969 times 6471 a year 8141 all 3605 your males 2138 are to appear 7200 before 6440 the Lord 113 GOD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478.
24 "For I will drive 3423 out nations 1471 before you and enlarge 7337 your borders 1366, and no 3808 man 376 shall covet 2530 your land 776 when you go 5927 up three 7969 times 6471 a year 8141 to appear 7200 before 6440 the LORD 3068 your God 430.
25 ¶ "You shall not offer 7819 the blood 1818 of My sacrifice 2077 with leavened 2557 bread 2557, nor 3808 is the sacrifice 2077 of the Feast 2282 of the Passover 6453 to be left 3885 over 3885 until morning 1242.
26 ¶ "You shall bring 935 the very first 7225 of the first 1061 fruits 1061 of your soil 127 into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 your God 430.
27 ¶ ¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, "Write 3789 down 3789 these 428 words 1697, for in accordance with these 428 words 1697 I have made 3772 a covenant 1285 with you and with Israel 3478."
28 So he was there 8033 with the LORD 3068 forty 705 days 3117 and forty 705 nights 3915; he did not eat 398 bread 3899 or drink 8354 water 4325. And he wrote 3789 on the tablets 3871 the words 1697 of the covenant 1285, the Ten 6235 Commandments 1697.

Moses' Face Shines

¶ It came 1961 about when Moses 4872 was coming 3381 down 3381 from Mount 2022 Sinai 5514 (and the two 8147 tablets 3871 of the testimony 5715 {were} in Moses' 4872 hand 3027 as he was coming 3381 down 3381 from the mountain 2022), that Moses 4872 did not know 3045 that the skin 5785 of his face 6440 shone 7160 because of his speaking 1696 with Him.
30 So when Aaron 175 and all 3605 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 saw 7200 Moses 4872, behold 2009, the skin 5785 of his face 6440 shone 7160, and they were afraid 3372 to come 5066 near 5066 him.
31 Then Moses 4872 called 7121 to them, and Aaron 175 and all 3605 the rulers 5387 in the congregation 5712 returned 7725 to him; and Moses 4872 spoke 1696 to them.
32 Afterward 310 all 3605 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 came 5066 near 5066, and he commanded 6680 them {to do} everything 3605 that the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 to him on Mount 2022 Sinai 5514.
33 When Moses 4872 had finished 3615 speaking 1696 with them, he put 5414 a veil 4533 over 5921 his face 6440.
34 But whenever Moses 4872 went 935 in before 6440 the LORD 3068 to speak 1696 with Him, he would take 5493 off 5493 the veil 4533 until 5704 he came 3318 out; and whenever he came 3318 out and spoke 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 what 834 he had been commanded 6680,
35 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 would see 7200 the face 6440 of Moses 4872, that the skin 5785 of Moses' 4872 face 6440 shone 7160. So Moses 4872 would replace 7725 the veil 4533 over 5921 his face 6440 until 5704 he went 935 in to speak 1696 with Him.

Chapter 35

The Sabbath Emphasized

Then Moses 4872 assembled 6950 all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and said 559 to them, "These 428 are the things 1697 that the LORD 3068 has commanded 6680 {you} to do 6213:
2 ¶ "For six 8337 days 3117 work 4399 may be done 6213, but on the seventh 7637 day 3117 you shall have 1961 a holy 6944 {day,} a sabbath 7676 of complete 7677 rest 7677 to the LORD 3068; whoever 3605 does 6213 any work 4399 on it shall be put 4191 to death 4191.
3 "You shall not kindle 1197 a fire 784 in any 3605 of your dwellings 4186 on the sabbath 7676 day 3117."
4 ¶ Moses 4872 spoke 559 to all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, saying 559, "This 2088 is the thing 1697 which 834 the LORD 3068 has commanded 6680, saying 559,
5 'Take 3947 from among you a contribution 8641 to the LORD 3068; whoever 3605 is of a willing 5081 heart 3820, let him bring 935 it as the LORD'S 3068 contribution 8641: gold 2091, silver 3701, and bronze 5178,
6 and blue 8504, purple 713 and scarlet 8144 {material,} fine 8336 linen 8336, goats' 5795 {hair,}
7 and rams' 352 skins 5785 dyed 119 red 119, and porpoise 8476 skins 5785, and acacia 7848 wood 6086,
8 and oil 8081 for lighting 3974, and spices 1314 for the anointing 4888 oil 8081, and for the fragrant 5561 incense 7004,
9 and onyx 7718 stones 68 and setting 4394 stones 68 for the ephod 646 and for the breastpiece 2833.

Tabernacle Workmen

¶ 'Let every 3605 skillful man among you come 935, and make 6213 all 3605 that the LORD 3068 has commanded 6680:
11 the tabernacle 4908, its tent 168 and its covering 4372, its hooks 7165 and its boards 7175, its bars 1280, its pillars 5982, and its sockets 134;
12 the ark 727 and its poles 905, the mercy 3727 seat 3727, and the curtain 6532 of the screen 4539;
13 the table 7979 and its poles 905, and all 3605 its utensils 3627, and the bread 3899 of the Presence 6440;
14 the lampstand 4501 also for the light 3974 and its utensils 3627 and its lamps 5216 and the oil 8081 for the light 3974;
15 and the altar 4196 of incense 7004 and its poles 905, and the anointing 4888 oil 8081 and the fragrant 5561 incense 7004, and the screen 4539 for the doorway 6607 at the entrance 6607 of the tabernacle 4908;
16 the altar 4196 of burnt 5930 offering 5930 with its bronze 5178 grating 4346, its poles 905, and all 3605 its utensils 3627, the basin 3595 and its stand 3653;
17 the hangings 7050 of the court 2691, its pillars 5982 and its sockets 134, and the screen 4539 for the gate 8179 of the court 2691;
18 the pegs 3489 of the tabernacle 4908 and the pegs 3489 of the court 2691 and their cords 4340;
19 the woven 8278 garments 899 for ministering 8334 in the holy 6944 place, the holy 6944 garments 899 for Aaron 175 the priest 3548 and the garments 899 of his sons 1121, to minister 3547 as priests 3547.'"
20

Gifts Received

¶ Then all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 departed 3318 from Moses' 4872 presence 6440.
21 Everyone whose 834 heart 3820 stirred 5375 him and everyone 3605 whose 834 spirit 7307 moved 5068 him came 935 {and} brought 935 the LORD'S 3068 contribution 8641 for the work 4399 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150 and for all 3605 its service 5656 and for the holy 6944 garments 899.
22 Then all 3605 whose hearts 3820 moved 5081 them, both men 376 and women 802, came 935 {and} brought 935 brooches 2397 and earrings 5141 and signet 2885 rings 2885 and bracelets 3558, all 3605 articles 3627 of gold 2091; so {did} every 3605 man 376 who 834 presented 5130 an offering 8573 of gold 2091 to the LORD 3068.
23 Every 3605 man 376, who 834 had 4672 in his possession 854 blue 8504 and purple 713 and scarlet 8144 {material} and fine 8336 linen 8336 and goats' 5795 {hair} and rams' 352 skins 5785 dyed 119 red 119 and porpoise 8476 skins 5785, brought 935 them.
24 Everyone 3605 who could make 7311 a contribution 8641 of silver 3701 and bronze 5178 brought 935 the LORD'S 3068 contribution 8641; and every 3605 man who 834 had 4672 in his possession 854 acacia 7848 wood 6086 for any 3605 work 4399 of the service 5656 brought 935 it.
25 All 3605 the skilled women 802 spun 2901 with their hands 3027, and brought 935 what 4299 they had spun 4299, {in} blue 8504 and purple 713 {and} scarlet 8144 {material} and {in} fine 8336 linen 8336.
26 All 3605 the women 802 whose 834 heart 3820 stirred 5375 with a skill 2451 spun 2901 the goats' 5795 {hair.}
27 The rulers 5387 brought 935 the onyx 7718 stones 68 and the stones 68 for setting 4394 for the ephod 646 and for the breastpiece 2833;
28 and the spice 1314 and the oil 8081 for the light 3974 and for the anointing 4888 oil 8081 and for the fragrant 5561 incense 7004.
29 The Israelites, all 3605 the men 376 and women 802, whose 834 heart 3820 moved 5068 them to bring 935 {material} for all 3605 the work 4399, which 834 the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 through 3027 Moses 4872 to be done 6213, brought 935 a freewill 5071 offering 5071 to the LORD 3068.
30 ¶ Then Moses 4872 said 559 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, "See 7200, the LORD 3068 has called 7121 by name 8034 Bezalel 1212 the son 1121 of Uri 221, the son 1121 of Hur 2354, of the tribe 4294 of Judah 3063.
31 "And He has filled 4390 him with the Spirit 7307 of God 430, in wisdom 2451, in understanding 8394 and in knowledge 1847 and in all 3605 craftsmanship 4399;
32 to make 2803 designs 4284 for working 6213 in gold 2091 and in silver 3701 and in bronze 5178,
33 and in the cutting 2799 of stones 68 for settings 4390 and in the carving 2799 of wood 6086, so as to perform 6213 in every 3605 inventive 4284 work 4399.
34 "He also has put 5414 in his heart 3820 to teach 3384, both he and Oholiab 171, the son 1121 of Ahisamach 294, of the tribe 4294 of Dan 1835.
35 "He has filled 4390 them with skill to perform 6213 every 3605 work 4399 of an engraver 2796 and of a designer 2803 and of an embroiderer 7551, in blue 8504 and in purple 713 {and} in scarlet 8144 {material,} and in fine 8336 linen 8336, and of a weaver 707, as performers 6213 of every 3605 work 4399 and makers 2803 of designs 4284.

The Tabernacle Underwritten

"Now Bezalel 1212 and Oholiab 171, and every 3605 skillful person 376 in whom 834 the LORD 3068 has put 5414 skill 2451 and understanding 8394 to know 3045 how to perform 6213 all 3605 the work 4399 in the construction 5656 of the sanctuary 6944, shall perform 6213 in accordance with all 3605 that the LORD 3068 has commanded 6680."
2 ¶ Then Moses 4872 called 7121 Bezalel 1212 and Oholiab 171 and every 3605 skillful person 376 in whom 834 the LORD 3068 had put 5414 skill 2451, everyone 3605 whose 834 heart 3820 stirred 5375 him, to come 7126 to the work 4399 to perform 6213 it.
3 They received 3947 from Moses 4872 all 3605 the contributions 8641 which 834 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 had brought 935 to perform 6213 the work 4399 in the construction 5656 of the sanctuary 6944. And they still 5750 {continued} bringing 935 to him freewill 5071 offerings 5071 every 1242 morning 1242.
4 And all 3605 the skillful 2450 men 2450 who were performing 6213 all 3605 the work 4399 of the sanctuary 6944 came 935, each 376 from the work 4399 which 834 he was performing 6213,
5 and they said 559 to Moses 4872, "The people 5971 are bringing 935 much 7235 more 7235 than 4480 enough 1767 for the construction 5656 work 5656 which 834 the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 {us} to perform 6213."
6 So Moses 4872 issued 6680 a command 6680, and a proclamation 6963 was circulated 5674 throughout the camp 4264, saying 559, "Let no 408 man 376 or 408 woman 802 any 5750 longer 5750 perform 6213 work 4399 for the contributions 8641 of the sanctuary 6944." Thus the people 5971 were restrained 3607 from bringing 935 {any more.}
7 For the material 4399 they had 1961 was sufficient 1767 and more 3498 than 3498 enough 3498 for all 3605 the work 4399, to perform 6213 it.

Construction Proceeds

All 3605 the skillful men among those who were performing 6213 the work 4399 made 6213 the tabernacle 4908 with ten 6235 curtains 3407; of fine 8336 twisted 7806 linen 8336 and blue 8504 and purple 713 and scarlet 8144 {material,} with cherubim 3742, the work 4639 of a skillful 2803 workman 2803, Bezalel made 6213 them.
9 The length 753 of each 259 curtain 3407 was twenty-eight cubits 520 and the width 7341 of each 259 curtain 3407 four 702 cubits 520; all 3605 the curtains 3407 had the same 259 measurements 4060.
10 He joined 2266 five 2568 curtains 3407 to one 259 another 259 and {the other} five 2568 curtains 3407 he joined 2266 to one 259 another 259.
11 He made 6213 loops 3884 of blue 8504 on the edge 8193 of the outermost 7098 curtain 3407 in the first 259 set 4225; he did 6213 likewise 3651 on the edge 8193 of the curtain 3407 that was outermost 7020 in the second 8145 set 4225.
12 He made 6213 fifty 2572 loops 3884 in the one 259 curtain 3407 and he made 6213 fifty 2572 loops 3884 on the edge 7097 of the curtain 3407 that was in the second 8145 set 4225; the loops 3884 were opposite 6901 each 259 other 259.
13 He made 6213 fifty 2572 clasps 7165 of gold 2091 and joined 2266 the curtains 3407 to one 259 another 259 with the clasps 7165, so the tabernacle 4908 was a unit 259.
14 ¶ Then he made 6213 curtains 3407 of goats' 5795 {hair} for a tent 168 over 5921 the tabernacle 4908; he made 6213 eleven curtains 3407 in all.
15 The length 753 of each 259 curtain 3407 {was} thirty 7970 cubits 520 and four 702 cubits 520 the width 7341 of each 259 curtain 3407; the eleven curtains 3407 had the same 259 measurements 4060.
16 He joined 2266 five 2568 curtains 3407 by themselves 905 and {the other} six 8337 curtains 3407 by themselves 905.
17 Moreover, he made 6213 fifty 2572 loops 3884 on the edge 8193 of the curtain 3407 that was outermost 7020 in the {first} set 4225, and he made 6213 fifty 2572 loops 3884 on the edge 8193 of the curtain 3407 {that was outermost in} the second 8145 set 2279.
18 He made 6213 fifty 2572 clasps 7165 of bronze 5178 to join 2266 the tent 168 together 2266 so that it would be a unit 259.
19 He made 6213 a covering 4372 for the tent 168 of rams' 352 skins 5785 dyed 119 red 119, and a covering 4372 of porpoise 8476 skins 5785 above.
20 ¶ Then he made 6213 the boards 7175 for the tabernacle 4908 of acacia 7848 wood 6086, standing 5975 upright 5975.
21 Ten 6235 cubits 520 {was} the length 753 of each board 7175 and one and a half 2677 cubits 520 the width 7341 of each 259 board 7175.
22 {There were} two 8147 tenons 3027 for each 259 board 7175, fitted 7947 to one 259 another 259; thus 3651 he did 6213 for all 3605 the boards 7175 of the tabernacle 4908.
23 He made 6213 the boards 7175 for the tabernacle 4908: twenty 6242 boards 7175 for the south side 6285;
24 and he made 6213 forty 705 sockets 134 of silver 3701 under 8478 the twenty 6242 boards 7175; two 8147 sockets 134 under 8478 one 259 board 7175 for its two 8147 tenons 3027 and two 8147 sockets 134 under 8478 another 259 board 7175 for its two 8147 tenons 3027.
25 Then for the second 8145 side 6763 of the tabernacle 4908, on the north 6828 side 6285, he made 6213 twenty 6242 boards 7175,
26 and their forty 705 sockets 134 of silver 3701; two 8147 sockets 134 under 8478 one 259 board 7175 and two 8147 sockets 134 under 8478 another 259 board 7175.
27 For the rear 3411 of the tabernacle 4908, to the west 3220, he made 6213 six 8337 boards 7175.
28 He made 6213 two 8147 boards 7175 for the corners 4740 of the tabernacle 4908 at the rear 3411.
29 They were double 8382 beneath 4295, and together 3164 they were complete 8535 to its top 7218 to the first 259 ring 2885; thus 3651 he did 6213 with both 8147 of them for the two 8147 corners 4740.
30 There were eight 8083 boards 7175 with their sockets 134 of silver 3701, sixteen sockets 134, two 8147 under 8478 every 259 board 7175.
31 ¶ Then he made 6213 bars 1280 of acacia 7848 wood 6086, five 2568 for the boards 7175 of one 259 side 6763 of the tabernacle 4908,
32 and five 2568 bars 1280 for the boards 7175 of the other 8145 side 6763 of the tabernacle 4908, and five 2568 bars 1280 for the boards 7175 of the tabernacle 4908 for the rear 3411 {side} to the west 3220.
33 He made 6213 the middle 8484 bar 1280 to pass 1272 through 1272 in the center 8432 of the boards 7175 from end 7097 to end 7097.
34 He overlaid 6823 the boards 7175 with gold 2091 and made 6213 their rings 2885 of gold 2091 {as} holders 1004 for the bars 1280, and overlaid 6823 the bars 1280 with gold 2091.
35 ¶ Moreover, he made 6213 the veil 6532 of blue 8504 and purple 713 and scarlet 8144 {material,} and fine 8336 twisted 7806 linen 8336; he made 6213 it with cherubim 3742, the work 4639 of a skillful 2803 workman 2803.
36 He made 6213 four 702 pillars 5982 of acacia 7848 for it, and overlaid 6823 them with gold 2091, with their hooks 2053 of gold 2091; and he cast 3332 four 702 sockets 134 of silver 3701 for them.
37 He made 6213 a screen 4539 for the doorway 6607 of the tent 168, of blue 8504 and purple 713 and scarlet 8144 {material,} and fine 8336 twisted 7806 linen 8336, the work 4639 of a weaver 7551;
38 and {he made} its five 2568 pillars 5982 with their hooks 2053, and he overlaid 6823 their tops 7218 and their bands 2838 with gold 2091; but their five 2568 sockets 134 were of bronze 5178.

Now Bezalel 1212 made 6213 the ark 727 of acacia 7848 wood 6086; its length 753 was two and a half 2677 cubits 520, and its width 7341 one and a half 2677 cubits 520, and its height 6967 one and a half 2677 cubits 520;
2 and he overlaid 6823 it with pure 2889 gold 2091 inside and out, and made 6213 a gold 2091 molding 2213 for it all 5439 around 5439.
3 He cast 3332 four 702 rings 2885 of gold 2091 for it on its four 702 feet 6471; even two 8147 rings 2885 on one 259 side 6763 of it, and two 8147 rings 2885 on the other 8145 side 6763 of it.
4 He made 6213 poles 905 of acacia 7848 wood 6086 and overlaid 6823 them with gold 2091.
5 He put 935 the poles 905 into the rings 2885 on the sides 6763 of the ark 727, to carry 5375 it.
6 He made 6213 a mercy 3727 seat 3727 of pure 2889 gold 2091, two and a half 2677 cubits 520 long 753 and one and a half 2677 cubits 520 wide 7341.
7 He made 6213 two 8147 cherubim 3742 of gold 2091; he made 6213 them of hammered 4749 work 4749 at the two 8147 ends 7098 of the mercy 3727 seat 3727;
8 one 259 cherub 3742 at the one 2088 end 7098 and one 259 cherub 3742 at the other 2088 end 7098; he made 6213 the cherubim 3742 {of one piece} with the mercy 3727 seat 3727 at the two 8147 ends 7098.
9 The cherubim 3742 had 1961 {their} wings 3671 spread 6566 upward 4605, covering 5526 the mercy 3727 seat 3727 with their wings 3671, with their faces 6440 toward 413 each 376 other 251; the faces 6440 of the cherubim 3742 were toward 413 the mercy 3727 seat 3727.
10 ¶ Then he made 6213 the table 7979 of acacia 7848 wood 6086, two cubits 520 long 753 and a cubit 520 wide 7341 and one and a half 2677 cubits 520 high 6967.
11 He overlaid 6823 it with pure 2889 gold 2091, and made 6213 a gold 2091 molding 2213 for it all 5439 around 5439.
12 He made 6213 a rim 4526 for it of a handbreadth 2948 all 5439 around 5439, and made 6213 a gold 2091 molding 2213 for its rim 4526 all 5439 around 5439.
13 He cast 3332 four 702 gold 2091 rings 2885 for it and put 5414 the rings 2885 on the four 702 corners 6285 that were on its four 702 feet 7272.
14 Close 5980 by the rim 4526 were the rings 2885, the holders 1004 for the poles 905 to carry 5375 the table 7979.
15 He made 6213 the poles 905 of acacia 7848 wood 6086 and overlaid 6823 them with gold 2091, to carry 5375 the table 7979.
16 He made 6213 the utensils 3627 which 834 were on the table 7979, its dishes 7086 and its pans 3709 and its bowls 4518 and its jars 7184, with which 834 to pour 5258 out drink 5258 offerings 5258, of pure 2889 gold 2091.
17 ¶ Then he made 6213 the lampstand 4501 of pure 2889 gold 2091. He made 6213 the lampstand 4501 of hammered 4749 work 4749, its base 3409 and its shaft 7070; its cups 1375, its bulbs 3730 and its flowers 6525 were {of one piece} with it.
18 There were six 8337 branches 7070 going 3318 out of its sides 6654; three 7969 branches 7070 of the lampstand 4501 from the one 259 side 6654 of it and three 7969 branches 7070 of the lampstand 4501 from the other 8145 side 6654 of it;
19 three 7969 cups 1375 shaped 8246 like 8246 almond 8246 {blossoms,} a bulb 3730 and a flower 6525 in one 259 branch 7070, and three 7969 cups 1375 shaped 8246 like 8246 almond 8246 {blossoms,} a bulb 3730 and a flower 6525 in the other 259 branch 7070--so 3651 for the six 8337 branches 7070 going 3318 out of the lampstand 4501.
20 In the lampstand 4501 {there were} four 702 cups 1375 shaped 8246 like 8246 almond 8246 {blossoms,} its bulbs 3730 and its flowers 6525;
21 and a bulb 3730 was under 8478 the {first} pair 8147 of branches 7070 {coming} out of it, and a bulb 3730 under 8478 the {second} pair 8147 of branches 7070 {coming} out of it, and a bulb 3730 under 8478 the {third} pair 8147 of branches 7070 {coming} out of it, for the six 8337 branches 7070 coming 3318 out of the lampstand.
22 Their bulbs 3730 and their branches 7070 were {of one piece} with it; the whole 3605 of it {was} a single 259 hammered 4749 work 4749 of pure 2889 gold 2091.
23 He made 6213 its seven 7651 lamps 5216 with its snuffers 4457 and its trays 4289 of pure 2889 gold 2091.
24 He made 6213 it and all 3605 its utensils 3627 from a talent 3603 of pure 2889 gold 2091.
25 ¶ Then he made 6213 the altar 4196 of incense 7004 of acacia 7848 wood 6086: a cubit 520 long 753 and a cubit 520 wide 7341, square 7251, and two cubits 520 high 6967; its horns 7161 were {of one piece} with it.
26 He overlaid 6823 it with pure 2889 gold 2091, its top 1406 and its sides 7023 all 5439 around 5439, and its horns 7161; and he made 6213 a gold 2091 molding 2213 for it all 5439 around 5439.
27 He made 6213 two 8147 golden 2091 rings 2885 for it under 8478 its molding 2213, on its two 8147 sides 6763--on opposite 8147 sides 6654--as holders 1004 for poles 905 with which 1992 to carry 5375 it.
28 He made 6213 the poles 905 of acacia 7848 wood 6086 and overlaid 6823 them with gold 2091.
29 And he made 6213 the holy 6944 anointing 4888 oil 8081 and the pure 2889, fragrant 5561 incense 7004 of spices 5561, the work 4639 of a perfumer 7543.

The Tabernacle Completed

Then he made 6213 the altar 4196 of burnt 5930 offering 5930 of acacia 7848 wood 6086, five 2568 cubits 520 long 753, and five 2568 cubits 520 wide 7341, square 7251, and three 7969 cubits 520 high 6967.
2 He made 6213 its horns 7161 on its four 702 corners 6438, its horns 7161 being 1961 {of one piece} with it, and he overlaid 6823 it with bronze 5178.
3 He made 6213 all 3605 the utensils 3627 of the altar 4196, the pails 5518 and the shovels 3257 and the basins 4219, the flesh 4207 hooks 4207 and the firepans 4289; he made 6213 all 3605 its utensils 3627 of bronze 5178.
4 He made 6213 for the altar 4196 a grating 4346 of bronze 5178 network 7568 beneath 8478, under 8478 its ledge 3749, reaching 5704 halfway 2677 up.
5 He cast 3332 four 702 rings 2885 on the four 702 ends 7117 of the bronze 5178 grating 4346 {as} holders 1004 for the poles 905.
6 He made 6213 the poles 905 of acacia 7848 wood 6086 and overlaid 6823 them with bronze 5178.
7 He inserted 935 the poles 905 into the rings 2885 on the sides 6763 of the altar 4196, with which 1992 to carry 5375 it. He made 6213 it hollow 5014 with planks 3871.

This 428 is the number 6491 of the things 6491 for the tabernacle 4908, the tabernacle 4908 of the testimony 5715, as they were numbered 6485 according 5921 to the command 6310 of Moses 4872, for the service 5656 of the Levites 3881, by the hand 3027 of Ithamar 385 the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548.
22 Now Bezalel 1212 the son 1121 of Uri 221, the son 1121 of Hur 2354, of the tribe 4294 of Judah 3063, made 6213 all 3605 that the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.

The Priestly Garments

Moreover, from the blue 8504 and purple 713 and scarlet 8144 {material,} they made 6213 finely 8278 woven 8278 garments 899 for ministering 8334 in the holy 6944 place as well as the holy 6944 garments 899 which 834 were for Aaron 175, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
2 ¶ He made 6213 the ephod 646 of gold 2091, {and} of blue 8504 and purple 713 and scarlet 8144 {material,} and fine 8336 twisted 7806 linen 8336.
3 Then they hammered 7554 out gold 2091 sheets 6341 and cut 7112 {them} into threads 6616 to be woven 6213 in {with} the blue 8504 and the purple 713 and the scarlet 8144 {material,} and the fine 8336 linen 8336, the work 4639 of a skillful 2803 workman 2803.
4 They made 6213 attaching 2266 shoulder 3802 pieces for the ephod; it was attached 2266 at its two 8147 {upper} ends 7117.
5 The skillfully 2805 woven 2805 band 2805 which 834 was on it was like its workmanship 4639, of the same 4480 material: of gold 2091 {and} of blue 8504 and purple 713 and scarlet 8144 {material,} and fine 8336 twisted 7806 linen 8336, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
6 ¶ They made 6213 the onyx 7718 stones 68, set 5437 in gold 2091 filigree 4865 {settings;} they were engraved 6605 {like} the engravings 6603 of a signet 2368, according 5921 to the names 8034 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
7 And he placed 7760 them on the shoulder 3802 pieces of the ephod 646, {as} memorial 2146 stones 68 for the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
8 ¶ He made 6213 the breastpiece 2833, the work 4639 of a skillful 2803 workman 2803, like the workmanship 4639 of the ephod 646: of gold 2091 {and} of blue 8504 and purple 713 and scarlet 8144 {material} and fine 8336 twisted 7806 linen 8336.
9 It was square 7251; they made 6213 the breastpiece 2833 folded 3717 double 3717, a span 2239 long 753 and a span 2239 wide 7341 when folded 3717 double 3717.
10 And they mounted 4390 four 702 rows 2905 of stones 68 on it. The first 259 row 2905 {was} a row 2905 of ruby 124, topaz 6357, and emerald 1304;
11 and the second 8145 row 2905, a turquoise 5306, a sapphire 5601 and a diamond 3095;
12 and the third 7992 row 2905, a jacinth 3958, an agate 7618, and an amethyst 306;
13 and the fourth 7243 row 2905, a beryl 8658, an onyx 7718, and a jasper 3471. They were set 5437 in gold 2091 filigree 4865 {settings} when they were mounted 4396.
14 The stones 68 were corresponding 5921 to the names 8034 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; they were twelve, corresponding 5921 to their names 8034, {engraved with} the engravings 6603 of a signet 2368, each 376 with its name 8034 for the twelve tribes 7626.
15 They made 6213 on the breastpiece 2833 chains 8333 like cords 5688, of twisted 1383 cordage 5688 work 4639 in pure 2889 gold 2091.
16 They made 6213 two 8147 gold 2091 filigree 4865 {settings} and two 8147 gold 2091 rings 2885, and put 5414 the two 8147 rings 2885 on the two 8147 ends 7098 of the breastpiece 2833.
17 Then they put 5414 the two 8147 gold 2091 cords 5688 in the two 8147 rings 2885 at the ends 7098 of the breastpiece 2833.
18 They put 5414 the {other} two 8147 ends 7098 of the two 8147 cords 5688 on the two 8147 filigree 4865 {settings,} and put 5414 them on the shoulder 3802 pieces of the ephod 646 at the front 6440 of it.
19 They made 6213 two 8147 gold 2091 rings 2885 and placed 7760 {them} on the two 8147 ends 7098 of the breastpiece 2833, on its inner 1004 edge 8193 which 834 was next to the ephod 646.
20 Furthermore, they made 6213 two 8147 gold 2091 rings 2885 and placed 5414 them on the bottom 4295 of the two 8147 shoulder 3802 pieces of the ephod 646, on the front 6440 of it, close 5980 to the place 4225 where 4225 it joined 4225, above the woven 2805 band 2805 of the ephod 646.
21 They bound 7405 the breastpiece 2833 by its rings 2885 to the rings 2885 of the ephod 646 with a blue 8504 cord 6616, so that it would be on the woven 2805 band 2805 of the ephod 646, and that the breastpiece 2833 would not come 2118 loose 2118 from the ephod 646, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
22 ¶ Then he made 6213 the robe 4598 of the ephod 646 of woven 707 work 4639, all 3632 of blue 8504;
23 and the opening 6310 of the robe 4598 was {at the top} in the center 8432, as the opening 6310 of a coat 8473 of mail 8473, with a binding 8193 all 5439 around 5439 its opening 6310, so that it would not be torn 7167.
24 They made 6213 pomegranates 7416 of blue 8504 and purple 713 and scarlet 8144 {material and} twisted 7806 {linen} on the hem 7757 of the robe 4598.
25 They also made 6213 bells 6472 of pure 2889 gold 2091, and put 5414 the bells 6472 between 8432 the pomegranates 7416 all 5439 around 5439 on the hem 7757 of the robe 7757,
26 alternating a bell 6472 and a pomegranate 7416 all 5439 around 5439 on the hem 7757 of the robe 7757 for the service 8334, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
27 ¶ They made 6213 the tunics 3801 of finely 8336 woven 707 linen 8336 for Aaron 175 and his sons 1121,
28 and the turban 4701 of fine 8336 linen 8336, and the decorated 6287 caps 4021 of fine 8336 linen 8336, and the linen 906 breeches 4370 of fine 8336 twisted 7806 linen 8336,
29 and the sash 73 of fine 8336 twisted 7806 linen 8336, and blue 8504 and purple 713 and scarlet 8144 {material,} the work 4639 of the weaver 7551, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
30 ¶ They made 6213 the plate 6731 of the holy 6944 crown 5145 of pure 2889 gold 2091, and inscribed 3789 it like the engravings 6603 of a signet 2368, "Holy 6944 to the LORD 3068."
31 They fastened 5414 a blue 8504 cord 6616 to it, to fasten 5414 it on the turban 4701 above, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
32 ¶ Thus all 3605 the work 5656 of the tabernacle 4908 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150 was completed 3615; and the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213 according to all 3605 that the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872; so 3651 they did 6213.
33 They brought 935 the tabernacle 4908 to Moses 4872, the tent 168 and all 3605 its furnishings 3627: its clasps 7165, its boards 7175, its bars 1280, and its pillars 5982 and its sockets 134;
34 and the covering 4372 of rams' 352 skins 5785 dyed 119 red 119, and the covering 4372 of porpoise 8476 skins 5785, and the screening 4539 veil 6532;
35 the ark 727 of the testimony 5715 and its poles 905 and the mercy 3727 seat 3727;
36 the table 7979, all 3605 its utensils 3627, and the bread 3899 of the Presence 6440;
37 the pure 2889 {gold} lampstand 4501, with its arrangement 4634 of lamps 5216 and all 3605 its utensils 3627, and the oil 8081 for the light 3974;
38 and the gold 2091 altar 4196, and the anointing 4888 oil 8081 and the fragrant 5561 incense 7004, and the veil 4539 for the doorway 6607 of the tent 168;
39 the bronze 5178 altar 4196 and its bronze 5178 grating 4346, its poles 905 and all 3605 its utensils 3627, the laver 3595 and its stand 3653;
40 the hangings 7050 for the court 2691, its pillars 5982 and its sockets 134, and the screen 4539 for the gate 8179 of the court 2691, its cords 4340 and its pegs 3489 and all 3605 the equipment 3627 for the service 5656 of the tabernacle 4908, for the tent 168 of meeting 4150;
41 the woven 8278 garments 899 for ministering 8334 in the holy 6944 place and the holy 6944 garments 899 for Aaron 175 the priest 3548 and the garments 899 of his sons 1121, to minister 3547 as priests 3547.
42 So the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213 all 3605 the work 5656 according to all 3605 that the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
43 And Moses 4872 examined 7200 all 3605 the work 4399 and behold 2009, they had done 6213 it; just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680, this 3651 they had done 6213. So Moses 4872 blessed 1288 them.

The Tabernacle Erected

Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
2 "On the first 7223 day 3117 of the first 259 month 2320 you shall set 6965 up the tabernacle 4908 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150.
3 "You shall place 7760 the ark 727 of the testimony 5715 there 8033, and you shall screen 5526 the ark 727 with the veil 6532.
4 "You shall bring 935 in the table 7979 and arrange 6186 what 6187 belongs 6187 on it; and you shall bring 935 in the lampstand 4501 and mount 5927 its lamps 5216.
5 "Moreover, you shall set 5414 the gold 2091 altar 4196 of incense 7004 before 6440 the ark 727 of the testimony 5715, and set 7760 up the veil 4539 for the doorway 6607 to the tabernacle 4908.
6 "You shall set 5414 the altar 4196 of burnt 5930 offering 5930 in front 6440 of the doorway 6607 of the tabernacle 4908 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150.
7 "You shall set 5414 the laver 3595 between 996 the tent 168 of meeting 4150 and the altar 4196 and put 5414 water 4325 in it.
8 "You shall set 7760 up the court 2691 all 5439 around 5439 and hang 5414 up the veil 4539 for the gateway 8179 of the court 2691.
9 "Then you shall take 3947 the anointing 4888 oil 8081 and anoint 4886 the tabernacle 4908 and all 3605 that is in it, and shall consecrate 6942 it and all 3605 its furnishings 3627; and it shall be holy 6944.
10 "You shall anoint 4886 the altar 4196 of burnt 5930 offering 5930 and all 3605 its utensils 3627, and consecrate 6942 the altar 4196, and the altar 4196 shall be most 6944 holy 6944.
11 "You shall anoint 4886 the laver 3595 and its stand 3653, and consecrate 6942 it.
12 "Then you shall bring 7126 Aaron 175 and his sons 1121 to the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150 and wash 7364 them with water 4325.
13 "You shall put 3847 the holy 6944 garments 899 on Aaron 175 and anoint 4886 him and consecrate 6942 him, that he may minister 3547 as a priest 3547 to Me.
14 "You shall bring 7126 his sons 1121 and put 3847 tunics 3801 on them;
15 and you shall anoint 4886 them even 3512 as you have anointed 4886 their father 1, that they may minister 3547 as priests 3547 to Me; and their anointing 4888 will qualify 1961 them for a perpetual 5769 priesthood 3550 throughout their generations 1755."
16 Thus Moses 4872 did 6213; according to all 3605 that the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 him, so 3651 he did 6213.
17 ¶ Now in the first 7223 month 2320 of the second 8145 year 8141, on the first 259 {day} of the month 2320, the tabernacle 4908 was erected 6965.
18 Moses 4872 erected 6965 the tabernacle 4908 and laid 5414 its sockets 134, and set 7760 up its boards 7175, and inserted 5414 its bars 1280 and erected 6965 its pillars 5982.
19 He spread 6566 the tent 168 over 5921 the tabernacle 4908 and put 7760 the covering 4372 of the tent 168 on top 4605 of it, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
20 Then he took 3947 the testimony 5715 and put 5414 {it} into the ark 727, and attached 7760 the poles 905 to the ark 727, and put 5414 the mercy 3727 seat 3727 on top 4605 of the ark 727.
21 He brought 935 the ark 727 into the tabernacle 4908, and set 7760 up a veil 6532 for the screen 4539, and screened 5526 off 5526 the ark 727 of the testimony 5715, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
22 Then he put 5414 the table 7979 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150 on the north 6828 side 3409 of the tabernacle 4908, outside the veil 6532.
23 He set 6186 the arrangement 6187 of bread 3899 in order 6186 on it before 6440 the LORD 3068, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
24 Then he placed 7760 the lampstand 4501 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150, opposite 5227 the table 7979, on the south 5045 side 3409 of the tabernacle 4908.
25 He lighted 5927 the lamps 5216 before 6440 the LORD 3068, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
26 Then he placed 7760 the gold 2091 altar 4196 in the tent 168 of meeting 4150 in front 6440 of the veil 6532;
27 and he burned 6999 fragrant 5561 incense 7004 on it, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
28 Then he set 7760 up the veil 4539 for the doorway 6607 of the tabernacle 4908.
29 He set 7760 the altar 4196 of burnt 5930 offering 5930 {before} the doorway 6607 of the tabernacle 4908 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150, and offered 5927 on it the burnt 5930 offering 5930 and the meal 4503 offering 4503, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
30 He placed 7760 the laver 3595 between 996 the tent 168 of meeting 4150 and the altar 4196 and put 5414 water 4325 in it for washing 7364.
31 From it Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 and his sons 1121 washed 7364 their hands 3027 and their feet 7272.
32 When they entered 935 the tent 168 of meeting 4150, and when they approached 7126 the altar 4196, they washed 7364, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
33 He erected 6965 the court 2691 all 5439 around 5439 the tabernacle 4908 and the altar 4196, and hung 5414 up the veil 4539 for the gateway 8179 of the court 2691. Thus Moses 4872 finished 3615 the work 4399.

The Glory of the L\{ORD}/

Then the cloud 6051 covered 3680 the tent 168 of meeting 4150, and the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 filled 4390 the tabernacle 4908.
35 Moses 4872 was not able 3201 to enter 935 the tent 168 of meeting 4150 because 3588 the cloud 6051 had settled 7931 on it, and the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 filled 4390 the tabernacle 4908.
36 Throughout all 3605 their journeys 4550 whenever the cloud 6051 was taken 5927 up from over 5921 the tabernacle 4908, the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 would set 5265 out;
37 but if 518 the cloud 6051 was not taken 5927 up, then they did not set 5265 out until 5704 the day 3117 when it was taken 5927 up.
38 For throughout all 3605 their journeys 4550, the cloud 6051 of the LORD 3068 was on the tabernacle 4908 by day 3119, and there was fire 784 in it by night 3915, in the sight 5869 of all 3605 the house 1004 of Israel 3478.
