¹⁹ For Pharaoh went in on horseback with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the sons of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

²⁰ And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

²¹ And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

²² ¶ So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.

²³ And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore the name of it was called Marah.

²⁴ Then the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

²⁵ And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, which when he had cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There he gave them statutes and rights, and there he proved them

²⁶ and said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God and wilt do that which is right in his sight and wilt give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I am the LORD thy Healer.

²⁷ And they came to Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there by the waters.

16 ¶ And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

² And the whole congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness;

³ and the sons of Israel said unto them, It would have been better if we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots and when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

⁴ Then the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather the word for every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

⁵ And it shall come to pass that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in, which shall be twice as much as they gather daily.

⁶ Then Moses and Aaron said unto all the sons of Israel, At evening ye shall know that the LORD has brought you out from the land of Egypt;

⁷ And in the morning ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for he has heard your murmurings against the LORD; and what are we, that ye murmur against us?

⁸ And Moses said, This shall be when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat and in the morning bread to the full; for the LORD has heard your murmurings which ye have murmured against him; and what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.

⁹ And Moses spoke unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the sons of Israel, Come near before the LORD, for he has heard your murmurings.

¹⁰ And it came to pass as Aaron spoke unto the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.

¹¹ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

¹² I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel; speak unto them, saying, Between the two evenings ye shall eat flesh, and tomorrow ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.

¹³ ¶ And it came to pass, that in the evening quail came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew descended round about the host.

¹⁴ And when the dew ceased to descend, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing as small as the hoar frost on the ground.

¹⁵ And when the sons of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna (What is it?): for they did not know what it was. Then Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.

¹⁶ This is the thing which the LORD has commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for each one, according to the number of your persons; take ye each one for those who are in his tent.

¹⁷ And the sons of Israel did so and gathered, some more, some less.

¹⁸ And when they did measure it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered each one according to his eating.

¹⁹ And Moses said, Let no one leave of it until the morning.

²⁰ Notwithstanding they did not hearken unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms and stank; and Moses was angry with them.

²¹ And they gathered it early in the morning, each one according to his eating; and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

²² ¶ And it came to pass that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one; and all the princes of the congregation came and told Moses.

²³ And he said unto them, This is what the LORD has said, Tomorrow is the holy sabbath of rest unto the LORD; bake that which ye will bake today and cook what ye will cook; and that which remains over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

²⁴ And they laid it up until the morning as Moses bade; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.

²⁵ And Moses said, Eat that today; for today is a sabbath unto the LORD; today ye shall not find it in the field.

²⁶ Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

²⁷ And it came to pass that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, and they found none.

²⁸ And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

²⁹ See that the LORD has given you the sabbath; therefore, he gives you the bread of two days on the sixth day; abide ye every man in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

³⁰ So the people rested on the seventh day.

³¹ And the house of Israel called its name Manna; and it was like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.

³² ¶ And Moses said, This is what the LORD has commanded, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your descendants, that they may see the bread with which I have fed you in the wilderness when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.

³³ And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot and put an omer full of manna in it and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your descendants.

³⁴ As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

³⁵ Thus the sons of Israel ate manna forty years until they came to a land inhabited; they ate manna until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

³⁶ Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.

17 ¶ And all the congregation of the sons of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and set up camp in Rephidim; and there was no water for the people to drink.

² And the people chided with Moses and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? Why do ye tempt the LORD?

³ So the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses and said, Why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?

⁴ Then Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.

⁵ And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people and take with thee of the elders of Israel and thy rod, with which thou didst smite the river take in thine hand and go.

⁶ Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb, and thou shalt smite the rock, and water shall come out of it that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

⁷ And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah because of the chiding of the sons of Israel and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?

⁸ ¶ Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

⁹ And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men and go out, fight with Amalek; tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.

¹⁰ So Joshua did as Moses had said to him and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

¹¹ And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; but when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

¹² And Moses’ hands were heavy, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat upon it; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side and the other on the other side; thus his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

¹³ And Joshua disabled Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

¹⁴ And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in the book and tell Joshua that I must utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.

¹⁵ And Moses built an altar and called the name of it The LORD is my Banner, {YHWH-nissi}

¹⁶ for he said, Because Amalek lifted his hand against the throne of the LORD, the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

18 ¶ When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that God had done with Moses and with Israel his people and how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt,

² then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her back,

³ and her two sons, of which the name of the one was Gershon, for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land,

⁴ and the name of the other was Eliezer, for the God of my father, said he, helped me and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh;

⁵ and Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he was camped next to the mount of God;

⁶ and he said unto Moses, I, thy father-in-law Jethro, am come unto thee and thy wife and her two sons with her.

⁷ ¶ And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and did obeisance and kissed him; and they asked each other of their peace; and they came into the tent.

⁸ And Moses told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake and all the travail that had come upon them in the way and how the LORD delivered them.

⁹ And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.

¹⁰ And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

¹¹ Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods; for in the thing in which they dealt proudly he prevailed against them.

¹² And Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took burnt offerings and sacrifices for God; and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law before God.

¹³ ¶ And it came to pass another day that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood before Moses from the morning unto the evening.

¹⁴ And when Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this that thou doest to the people? Why sittest thou thyself alone and all the people stand before thee from morning unto evening?

¹⁵ And Moses said unto his father-in-law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God.

¹⁶ When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I declare unto them the statutes of God and his laws.

¹⁷ Then Moses’ father-in-law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.

¹⁸ Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou and this people that is with thee; for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.

¹⁹ Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people before God that thou may submit the causes unto God.

²⁰ And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws and shalt show them the way in which they must walk and the work that they must do.

²¹ Moreover thou shalt consider out of all the people men of virtue, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness, and place princes over them, of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.

²² And let them judge the people at all seasons; and it shall be that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge, so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.

²³ If thou shalt do this thing and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.

²⁴ So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said.

²⁵ And Moses chose men of virtue out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, princes over thousands, over hundreds, over fifties, and over tens.

²⁶ And they judged the people at all seasons; the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

²⁷ And Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went to his own land.

19 ¶ In the third month from when the sons of Israel had gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.

² For they had departed from Rephidim and were come to the desert of Sinai and had pitched in the wilderness, and there Israel camped before the mount.

³ And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob and tell the sons of Israel:

⁴ Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you unto myself.

⁵ Now therefore, if ye will give ear to hearken unto my voice and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a special treasure unto me above all peoples; for all the earth is mine.

⁶ And ye shall be my kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel.

⁷ Then Moses came and called for the elders of the people and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.

⁸ And all the people answered together and said, All that the LORD has spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.

⁹ ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, I come unto thee in a thick cloud that the people may hear when I speak with thee and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.

¹⁰ And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes

¹¹ and be ready for the third day; for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai.

¹² And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves that ye go not up into the mount or touch the border of it; whoever touches the mount shall surely die:

¹³ Not a hand shall touch it, but that he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live. When the jubilee sounds long, they shall come up to the mount.

¹⁴ And Moses went down from the mount unto the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes.

¹⁵ And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day; come not at your women.

¹⁶ ¶ And it came to pass on the third day when the morning came, that there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud upon the mount and the voice of the shofar {ram’s horn} exceeding loud, so that all the people that were in the camp trembled.

¹⁷ And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the lower part of the mount.

¹⁸ And all Mount Sinai smoked because the LORD had descended upon it in fire, and its smoke ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

¹⁹ And the voice of the shofar sounded long and waxed louder and louder; Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

²⁰ And the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mount, and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount, and Moses went up.

²¹ And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people lest they break through the bounds to gaze upon the LORD, and many of them perish.

²² And also let the priests who come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves lest the LORD break forth upon them.

²³ And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai; for thou hast charged us, saying, Set bounds about the mount and sanctify it.

²⁴ And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou and Aaron with thee, but let not the priests and the people break through the bounds to come up unto the LORD lest he break forth upon them.

²⁵ So Moses went down unto the people and spoke unto them.

20 ¶ And God spoke all these words, saying,

² I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt out of the house of slavery.

³ Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

⁴ Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath nor that is in the water under the earth.

⁵ Thou shalt not bow down to them nor serve them; for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons unto the third and fourth generation of those that hate me

⁶ and showing mercy unto thousands of generations of those that love me and keep my commandments.

⁷ Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain for the LORD will not hold guiltless anyone that takes his name in vain.

⁸ Thou shalt remember the sabbath day, to sanctify it.

⁹ Six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work;

¹⁰ but the seventh day shall be the sabbath of the LORD thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manslave, nor thy maidslave, nor thy beast, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates;

¹¹ for in six days the LORD made the heavens and earth, the sea, and all that is in them and rested the seventh day; therefore, the LORD blessed the sabbath day and sanctified it.

¹² ¶ Honour thy father and thy mother that thy days may be lengthened upon the land which the LORD thy God gives thee.

¹³ Thou shalt not murder.

¹⁴ Thou shalt not commit adultery.

¹⁵ Thou shalt not steal.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not give false testimony against thy neighbour.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manslave, nor his maidslave, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

¹⁸ ¶ And all the people saw the thunderings and the lightnings and the noise of the trumpet and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off.

¹⁹ And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us lest we die.

²⁰ Then Moses said unto the people, Fear not, for God is come to prove you and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.

²¹ Then the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

²² ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the sons of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

²³ Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

²⁴ An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings and thy peace offerings, thy sheep and thine oxen; in whatever place where I cause my name to be remembered, I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

²⁵ And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

²⁶ Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto my altar that thy nakedness not be discovered thereon.

21 ¶ Now these are the rights which thou shalt set before them.

² If thou should buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

³ If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he was married, then his wife shall go out with him.

⁴ If his master has given him a wife, and she has born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself.

⁵ And if the slave shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free.

⁶ Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him forever.

⁷ And if a man should sell his daughter to be a maidslave, she shall not go out as the menslaves do.

⁸ If she pleases not her master, who therefore took her not unto himself to wife, then it is permitted that she be ransomed; and he may not sell her unto a strange nation when he rejects her.

⁹ And if he has betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.

¹⁰ If he takes another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, he shall not diminish.

¹¹ And if he does not do these three things unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

¹² ¶ He that smites a man so that he dies shall be surely put to death.

¹³ And if a man did not lie in wait but God delivered him into his hand, then I will appoint thee a place where he shall flee.

¹⁴ But if a man comes presumptuously upon his neighbour to slay him with prudence, thou shalt take him from my altar that he may die.

¹⁵ And he that smites his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.

¹⁶ Likewise he that steals a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

¹⁷ In the same manner he that curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

¹⁸ And if men strive together and one smites another with a stone or with his fist and he dies not, but keeps his bed,

¹⁹ if he rises again and walks abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be absolved, only he shall pay for the loss of his time and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.

²⁰ And if a man smites his slave or his maid with a rod and he dies under his hand, he shall be surely punished.

²¹ Notwithstanding, if he continues a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his money.

²² ¶ If men strive and hurt a woman with child so that she aborts but without death, he shall be surely punished according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him, and he shall pay by the judges.

²³ And if there is death, then thou shalt pay life for life,

²⁴ eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

²⁵ burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

²⁶ And if someone smites the eye of their slave or the eye of their maid that it perishes, he shall let them go free for their eye’s sake.

²⁷ And if he smites out his manslave’s tooth or his maidslave’s tooth, he shall let them go free for their tooth’s sake.

²⁸ If an ox gores a man or a woman that they die, then the ox shall surely be stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be absolved.

²⁹ But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past and it has been testified to his owner, and he has not kept him in, but that he has killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.

³⁰ If there is laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatever is laid upon him.

³¹ Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.

³² If the ox shall gore a manslave or a maidslave, he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

³³ And if someone shall open a pit or if someone shall dig a pit and not cover it and an ox or an ass falls in it,

³⁴ the owner of the pit shall make it good and give money unto their owner, and the dead beast shall be his.

³⁵ And if one man’s ox hurts another’s that he dies; then they shall sell the live ox and divide the money of it, and the dead ox they shall also divide.

³⁶ Or if it is known that the ox used to push in time past and his owner has not kept him in, he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead shall be his own.

22 ¶ If a man shall steal an ox or a sheep and kill it or sell it he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.

² If a thief is found breaking into a house and is smitten so he dies, he that killed him shall not be guilty of his blood.

³ If the sun is risen upon him, he that killed him is guilty of his blood; the thief should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

⁴ If he is found with the theft in his hand, whether it be ox or ass or sheep, he shall restore double.

⁵ If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten and shall put in his beast and shall feed in another man’s field; of the best of his own field and of the best of his own vineyard shall he make restitution.

⁶ When fires are lit and in burning the thorns burn also the stacks of sheaves or the standing grain, or the field is consumed; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

⁷ ¶ When a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief is found, let him pay double.

⁸ If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges to see whether he has put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods.

⁹ For all manner of fraud, whether it be for an ox, for an ass, for a sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challenges to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.

¹⁰ If a man delivers unto his neighbour an ass or an ox or a sheep or any beast to keep, and it dies or is hurt or driven away, no man seeing it,

¹¹ then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he has not put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods, and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.

¹² And if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto its owner.

¹³ If it is torn in pieces, then let him bring witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.

¹⁴ And if anyone borrows anything of his neighbour, and it is hurt or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make it good.

¹⁵ But if its owner is with it, he shall not make it good; if it was hired, it came for its hire.

¹⁶ ¶ If a man should entice a virgin that is not betrothed and lie with her, he shall surely endow her and take her to be his wife.

¹⁷ If her father utterly refuses to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

¹⁸ Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

¹⁹ Whoever lies with a beast shall surely be put to death.

²⁰ He that sacrifices unto any god, except unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

²¹ Thou shalt neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

²² Ye shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.

²³ If thou afflict them in any manner, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

²⁴ and my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

²⁵ ¶ If thou should lend money to my people, to the poor who is with thee, thou shalt not be to him as a usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.

²⁶ If thou at all take thy neighbour’s clothing as a pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him before the sun goes down;

²⁷ for only that is his covering, it is his clothing to cover his flesh, in which he must sleep; and it shall come to pass, when he cries unto me, that I will hear, for I am merciful.

²⁸ Thou shalt not revile the judges nor curse the prince of thy people.

²⁹ Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits and of thy liquors; the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

³⁰ Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen and with thy sheep; seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it to me.

³¹ And ye shall be holy men unto me; neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.

23 ¶ Thou shalt not admit a false rumour; put not thine hand with the wicked to be a false witness.

² Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause hiding behind many to wrest judgment;

³ neither shalt thou honour a poor man in his cause.

⁴ If thou should encounter thine enemy’s ox or his ass astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.

⁵ If thou see the ass of him that hates thee lying under his burden, will thou forbear to help him? Thou shalt surely help him to raise it up.

⁶ Thou shalt not pervert the rights of thy poor in his cause.

⁷ Keep thee far from a false matter; and slay thou not the innocent and righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.

⁸ And thou shalt take no bribe; for the bribe blinds the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

⁹ Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger, for ye know the state of the soul of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

¹⁰ ¶ And six years thou shalt sow thy land and shalt gather in its increase,

¹¹ but the seventh year thou shalt leave it free and release it, that the poor of thy people may eat, and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard and with thy oliveyard.

¹² Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest, that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed.

¹³ And in all things that I have said unto you, be circumspect and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

¹⁴ Three times thou shalt celebrate a feast unto me in the year:

¹⁵ Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib, for in it thou didst come out from Egypt; and none shall appear before me empty),

¹⁶ And the feast of the harvest of the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field, and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

¹⁷ Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.

¹⁸ Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my lamb remain until the morning.

¹⁹ The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in his mother’s milk.

²⁰ ¶ Behold, I send the Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

²¹ Keep thyself before him and hear his voice, grieve him not; for he will not pardon your rebellion, for my name is in him.

²² But if thou shalt indeed hear his voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies and an adversary unto those that afflict thee.

²³ For my Angel shall go before thee and bring thee in unto the land of the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Canaanite the Hivite and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.

²⁴ Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works; but thou shalt utterly overthrow them and completely break down their images.

²⁵ But ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread and thy water; and I will take all sickness away from the midst of thee.

²⁶ No women shall abort, nor be barren, in thy land; the number of thy days I will fulfil.

²⁷ I will send my fear before thee and will trouble all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.

²⁸ And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before thee.

²⁹ I will not drive them out from before thee in one year lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field multiply against thee.

³⁰ Little by little I will drive them out from before thee until thou be multiplied and take the land by inheritance.

³¹ And I will set thy borders from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines and from the desert unto the river; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

³² Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

³³ They shall not dwell in thy land lest peradventure they make thee sin against me by serving their gods, for it will be a snare unto thee.

24 ¶ And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship afar off.

² And Moses alone shall approach the LORD, but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him.

³ And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD and all the rights, and all the people answered with one voice and said, All the words which the LORD has said we will do.

⁴ And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD and rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mount and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

⁵ And he sent the young men of the sons of Israel, who had offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of bullocks unto the LORD.

⁶ And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

⁷ And he took the book of the covenant and read in the audience of the people, and they said, All that the LORD has said we will do, and we will hear.

⁸ Then Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has made with you concerning all these words.

⁹ ¶ Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu and seventy of the elders of Israel went up,

¹⁰ and they saw the God of Israel; and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone like unto the heaven when it is clear.

¹¹ But he did not lay his hand upon the princes of the sons of Israel, and they saw God and ate and drank.

¹² ¶ Then the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount and wait there, and I will give thee tables of stone and the law and commandments which I have written to teach them.

¹³ And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua, and Moses went up into the mount of God.

¹⁴ And he said unto the elders, wait here for us until we come again unto you; and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; if anyone has any matters to settle, let him come unto them.

¹⁵ Then Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.

¹⁶ And the glory of the LORD abode upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days, and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

¹⁷ And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the sons of Israel.

¹⁸ And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and went up into the mount, and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.

25 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

² Speak unto the sons of Israel that they bring me an offering; of every man that gives it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.

³ And this shall be the offering which ye shall take of them: gold and silver and brass

⁴ and blue and purple and scarlet and fine linen and goats’ hair

⁵ and rams’ skins dyed red and badgers’ skins and cedar wood,

⁶ oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,

⁷ onyx stones and stones to be set in the ephod and in the pectoral.

⁸ And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

⁹ According to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its vessels, even so shall ye make it.

¹⁰ ¶ And they shall make an ark of cedar wood; two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.

¹¹ And thou shalt cover it with pure gold; within and without shalt thou cover it and shalt make upon it a moulding of gold round about.

¹² And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it and put them in the four corners thereof, and two rings shall be in the one side of it and two rings in the other side of it.

¹³ And thou shalt make staves of cedar wood and overlay them with gold.

¹⁴ And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.

¹⁵ The staves shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it.

¹⁶ And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.

¹⁷ And thou shalt make a seat of reconciliation of pure gold; two cubits and a half shall be its length and a cubit and a half its breadth.

¹⁸ And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the seat of reconciliation.

¹⁹ And make one cherub on the one end and the other cherub on the other end: even of the seat of reconciliation shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof.

²⁰ And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the seat of reconciliation with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the seat of reconciliation shall the faces of the cherubim be.

²¹ And thou shalt put the seat of reconciliation above upon the ark, and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.

²² And there I will meet with thee, and I will speak with thee from above the seat of reconciliation, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the sons of Israel.

²³ ¶ Thou shalt likewise make a table of cedar wood; two cubits shall be its length and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.

²⁴ And thou shalt cover it with pure gold and make a moulding of gold round about it.

²⁵ And thou shalt make unto it a border of a handbreadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden moulding to its border round about.

²⁶ And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.

²⁷ Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.

²⁸ And thou shalt make the staves of cedar wood and cover them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.

²⁹ And thou shalt make the dishes thereof and spoons thereof and covers thereof and bowls thereof to cover the bread; of pure gold shalt thou make them.

³⁰ And thou shalt set the showbread upon the table before me always.

³¹ ¶ And thou shalt make a lampstand of pure gold; of beaten work shall the lampstand be made; its base and its branches, its bowls, its knops, and its flowers shall be of the same.

³² And six branches shall come out of the sides of it, three branches of the lampstand out of the one side and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side,

³³ three bowls made like unto almonds with a knop and a flower in one branch, and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch with a knop and a flower; thus in the six branches that come out of the lampstand.

³⁴ And in the lampstand shall be four bowls made like unto almonds with their knops and their flowers.

³⁵ And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and another knop under two branches of the same, and another knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the lampstand.

³⁶ Their knops and their branches shall be of the same; all of it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.

³⁷ And thou shalt make its seven lamps; and they shall light its lamps, that they may give light over against it.

³⁸ And its tongs, and its snuffdishes, shall be of pure gold.

³⁹ Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.

⁴⁰ And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was showed thee in the mount.

26 ¶ Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet; with cherubim of cunning work shalt thou make them.

² The length of one curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits; and all the curtains shall have one measure.

³ The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another, and the other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.

⁴ And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the border in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of another curtain in the coupling of the second.

⁵ Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make in the border of the curtain that is in the second coupling; that the loops may take hold one of another.

⁶ And thou shalt make fifty hooks of gold and couple the curtains together with the hooks; and it shall be one tabernacle.

⁷ ¶ Likewise thou shalt make curtains of goats’ hair to be a covering over the tabernacle; eleven curtains shalt thou make.

⁸ The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits; and the eleven curtains shall be all of one measure.

⁹ And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle.

¹⁰ And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain from the border in the coupling and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which couples the second.

¹¹ And thou shalt make fifty hooks of brass and put the hooks into the loops and couple the tent together that it may be one.

¹² And the remnant that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle.

¹³ And a cubit on the one side and a cubit on the other side of that which remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

¹⁴ And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red and a covering above of badgers’ skins.

¹⁵ ¶ And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of cedar wood standing up.

¹⁶ Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of one board.

¹⁷ Two tenons shall there be in one board, set in order one against another; thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

¹⁸ And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the side of the Negev to the south.

¹⁹ And thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards, two sockets under one board for its two tenons and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

²⁰ And for the second side of the tabernacle on the side of the Aquilon, {of the north wind} there shall be twenty boards

²¹ and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board and two sockets under another board.

²² And for the sides of the tabernacle westward, thou shalt make six boards.

²³ And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides,

²⁴ and they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of it unto one ring; thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

²⁵ Thus they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets: two sockets under one board and two sockets under another board.

²⁶ And thou shalt make five bars of cedar wood for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

²⁷ five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the two sides westward.

²⁸ And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to end.

²⁹ And thou shalt cover the boards with gold and make their rings of gold for places for the bars, and thou shalt also cover the bars with gold.

³⁰ And thou shalt raise up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was showed thee in the mount.

³¹ ¶ And thou shalt also make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work; with cherubim shall it be made;

³² and thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of cedar covered with gold; their capitals shall be of gold upon four sockets of silver.

³³ And thou shalt hang up the veil under the hooks, and thou shalt bring in there, inside the veil, the ark of the testimony; and that veil shall separate for you between the holy place and the holy of holies.

³⁴ And thou shalt put the seat of reconciliation upon the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies.

³⁵ And thou shalt set the table outside the veil, the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the Negev (south desert), and thou shalt put the table on the side of the Aquilon (north wind).

³⁶ And thou shalt make a hanging for the door of the tabernacle of blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen wrought with needlework.

³⁷ And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars of cedar and cover them with gold, and their capitals shall be of gold, and thou shalt cast five sockets of brass for them.

27 ¶ Thou shalt also make an altar of cedar wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare, and its height shall be three cubits.

² And thou shalt make the horns of it upon its four corners; its horns shall be of the same, and thou shalt cover it with brass.

³ And thou shalt make its pans to receive the ashes with its burnt fat, and its shovels and its basins and its fleshhooks and its firepans; all the vessels thereof thou shalt make of brass.

⁴ And thou shalt make for it a grate of network of brass; and upon the net shalt thou make four brasen rings in the four corners thereof.

⁵ And thou shalt put it under the circumference of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of the altar.

⁶ Thou shalt also make staves for the altar, staves of cedar wood, and cover them with brass.

⁷ And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar to bear it.

⁸ Hollow with boards shalt thou make it; as it was showed thee in the mount, so shall they make it.

⁹ ¶ In the same manner thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle; to the side of the Negev to the south there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen of one hundred cubits long for each side;

¹⁰ and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets shall be of brass; the capitals of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.

¹¹ And likewise for the side of the Aquilon in length there shall be hangings of one hundred cubits long, and its twenty pillars with their twenty sockets of brass, the capitals of the pillars and their fillets of silver.

¹² And for the breadth of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.

¹³ And the breadth of the court on the side of the rising sun to the east shall be fifty cubits.

¹⁴ The hangings of one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three.

¹⁵ And on the other side shall be hangings of fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three.

¹⁷ All the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver; their capitals shall be of silver, and their sockets of brass.

¹⁸ The length of the court shall be one hundred cubits and the breadth fifty on the one side and fifty on the other and the height five cubits, its hangings of fine twined linen and their sockets of brass.

¹⁹ All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service thereof and all the stakes thereof and all the stakes of the court, shall be of brass.

²⁰ ¶ And thou shalt command the sons of Israel that they bring thee olive oil, clear, crushed, for the light, to cause the lamps to burn always.

²¹ In the tabernacle of the testimony outside the veil, which shall be before the ark of the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order them from evening to morning before the LORD; it shall be a perpetual statute of the sons of Israel for their generations.

28 ¶ And cause Aaron, thy brother, to come unto thee with his sons, from among the sons of Israel, that they may be my priests, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons.

² And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron, thy brother, for honour and for beauty.

³ And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the Spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments to sanctify him, that he may be my priest.

⁴ And these are the garments which they shall make: the pectoral, the ephod, the robe, the broidered coat, the mitre, and the girdle. Therefore let them make the holy garments for Aaron, thy brother, and his sons, that they may be my priests.

⁵ And they shall take gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine linen,

⁶ ¶ and they shall make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.

⁷ It shall have its two shoulderpieces joined at the two edges thereof, and so it shall be joined together.

⁸ And the special girdle of the ephod, which shall be over it, shall be of its same workmanship, of the same materials: of gold, blue, purple, scarlet and fine twined linen.

⁹ And thou shalt take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:

¹⁰ Six of their names on one stone and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.

¹¹ With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a seal, shalt thou engrave those two stones with the names of the sons of Israel; thou shalt make them to be set in settings of gold.

¹² And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial unto the sons of Israel, and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

¹³ And thou shalt make the settings of gold

¹⁴ and two small chains of pure gold; of wreathen work shalt thou make them and fasten the wreathen chains to the settings.

¹⁵ ¶ And in the same manner thou shalt make the pectoral of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it, of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and of fine twined linen.

¹⁶ It shall be square and double; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof.

¹⁷ And thou shalt fill it with four rows of stones; The order shall be a ruby, an emerald, and a chrysolite; this shall be the first order.

¹⁸ And the second order shall be a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond.

¹⁹ And the third order, a topaz, a turquoise, and an amethyst.

²⁰ And the fourth row a tarshish (or beryl) and an onyx and a jasper; they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.

²¹ And those stones shall be in agreement with the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, in agreement with their names; each one in agreement with his name like the engravings of a seal; they shall be according to the twelve tribes.

²² And thou shalt also make upon the pectoral small chains of wreathen work of pure gold.

²³ And thou shalt make upon the pectoral two rings of gold and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the pectoral.

²⁴ And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the pectoral.

²⁵ And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains thou shalt fasten in the two settings and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod on the front of it.

²⁶ Thou shalt also make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the pectoral in the border thereof, which is in the side of the ephod inward.

²⁷ Likewise two other rings of gold thou shalt make and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the front part thereof, over against the other coupling thereof, above the special girdle of the ephod.

²⁸ And they shall bind the pectoral by its rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the special girdle of the ephod and that the pectoral not be loosed from the ephod.

²⁹ And Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the pectoral of judgment upon his heart when he goes in unto the sanctuary for a memorial before the LORD continually.

³⁰ And thou shalt put in the pectoral of judgment Urim and Thummim, that they shall be upon Aaron’s heart when he goes in before the LORD; and Aaron shall always bear the judgment of the sons of Israel upon his heart before the LORD.

³¹ ¶ And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

³² And it shall have the collar of his head in the midst thereof, which shall have a binding of woven work round about it, as the collar of a habergeon, that it not be rent.

³³ And beneath upon the hem of it, thou shalt make pomegranates of blue and of purple and of scarlet round about the hem thereof and bells of gold between them round about.

³⁴ A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate upon the hem of the robe round about.

³⁵ And it shall be upon Aaron to minister, and his sound shall be heard when he goes in unto the sanctuary before the LORD and when he comes out, that he not die.

³⁶ Thou shalt also make an open flower of pure gold and engrave upon it the engravings of a seal, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD.

³⁷ And thou shalt put it on with a blue lace that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.

³⁸ And it shall be upon Aaron’s forehead that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the sons of Israel shall sanctify in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead that they may find grace before the LORD.

³⁹ And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make the mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle of needlework.

⁴⁰ ¶ And for Aaron’s sons thou shalt make coats; thou shalt also make girdles for them, and tiaras shalt thou make for them, for honour and for beauty.

⁴¹ And with these thou shalt clothe Aaron, thy brother, and his sons with him and shalt anoint them and fill their hands and sanctify them that they may be my priests.

⁴² And thou shalt make them linen underwear to cover their nakedness; they shall reach from the loins even unto the thighs;

⁴³ And they shall be upon Aaron and upon his sons when they enter into the tabernacle of the testimony or when they come near unto the altar to serve in the sanctuary that they not bear iniquity and die: This shall be a perpetual statute unto him and his seed after him.
