Exodus 1:1 (Israel Increases Greatly in Egypt) These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob, each with his household:
Exodus 1:2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
Exodus 1:3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Exodus 1:4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
Exodus 1:5 All the descendants of Jacob were seventy persons; Joseph was already in Egypt.
Exodus 1:6 Then Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation.
Exodus 1:7 But the people of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly; they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong, so that the land was filled with them.
Exodus 1:8 (Pharaoh Oppresses Israel) Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
Exodus 1:9 And he said to his people, “Behold, the people of Israel are too many and too mighty for us.
Exodus 1:10 Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and, if war breaks out, they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land.”
Exodus 1:11 Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with heavy burdens. They built for Pharaoh store cities, Pithom and Raamses.
Exodus 1:12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel.
Exodus 1:13 So they ruthlessly made the people of Israel work as slaves
Exodus 1:14 and made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and brick, and in all kinds of work in the field. In all their work they ruthlessly made them work as slaves.
Exodus 1:15 Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah,
Exodus 1:16 “When you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill him, but if it is a daughter, she shall live.”
Exodus 1:17 But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live.
Exodus 1:18 So the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this, and let the male children live?”
Exodus 1:19 The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to them.”
Exodus 1:20 So God dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied and grew very strong.
Exodus 1:21 And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families.
Exodus 1:22 Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, “Every son that is born to the Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile, but you shall let every daughter live.”
Exodus 2:1 (The Birth of Moses) Now a man from the house of Levi went and took as his wife a Levite woman.
Exodus 2:2 The woman conceived and bore a son, and when she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.
Exodus 2:3 When she could hide him no longer, she took for him a basket made of bulrushes and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and placed it among the reeds by the river bank.
Exodus 2:4 And his sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him.
Exodus 2:5 Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, while her young women walked beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her servant woman, and she took it.
Exodus 2:6 When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby was crying. She took pity on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews' children.”
Exodus 2:7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, “Shall I go and call you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?”
Exodus 2:8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, “Go.” So the girl went and called the child's mother.
Exodus 2:9 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him.
Exodus 2:10 When the child grew older, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, “Because,” she said, “I drew him out of the water.”
Exodus 2:11 (Moses Flees to Midian) One day, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and looked on their burdens, and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his people.
Exodus 2:12 He looked this way and that, and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
Exodus 2:13 When he went out the next day, behold, two Hebrews were struggling together. And he said to the man in the wrong, “Why do you strike your companion?”
Exodus 2:14 He answered, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid, and thought, “Surely the thing is known.”
Exodus 2:15 When Pharaoh heard of it, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and stayed in the land of Midian. And he sat down by a well.
Exodus 2:16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and drew water and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
Exodus 2:17 The shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and saved them, and watered their flock.
Exodus 2:18 When they came home to their father Reuel, he said, “How is it that you have come home so soon today?”
Exodus 2:19 They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds and even drew water for us and watered the flock.”
Exodus 2:20 He said to his daughters, “Then where is he? Why have you left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.”
Exodus 2:21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man, and he gave Moses his daughter Zipporah.
Exodus 2:22 She gave birth to a son, and he called his name Gershom, for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.”
Exodus 2:23 (God Hears Israel's Groaning) During those many days the king of Egypt died, and the people of Israel groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help. Their cry for rescue from slavery came up to God.
Exodus 2:24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
Exodus 2:25 God saw the people of Israel—and God knew.
Exodus 3:1 (The Burning Bush) Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
Exodus 3:2 And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed.
Exodus 3:3 And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.”
Exodus 3:4 When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”
Exodus 3:5 Then he said, “Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.”
Exodus 3:6 And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
Exodus 3:7 Then the Lord said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings,
Exodus 3:8 and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Exodus 3:9 And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
Exodus 3:10 Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”
Exodus 3:11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
Exodus 3:12 He said, “But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”
Exodus 3:13 Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?”
Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I am has sent me to you.’”
Exodus 3:15 God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.
Exodus 3:16 Go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have observed you and what has been done to you in Egypt,
Exodus 3:17 and I promise that I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, a land flowing with milk and honey.”’
Exodus 3:18 And they will listen to your voice, and you and the elders of Israel shall go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now, please let us go a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’
Exodus 3:19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless compelled by a mighty hand.
Exodus 3:20 So I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all the wonders that I will do in it; after that he will let you go.
Exodus 3:21 And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and when you go, you shall not go empty,
Exodus 3:22 but each woman shall ask of her neighbor, and any woman who lives in her house, for silver and gold jewelry, and for clothing. You shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians.”
Exodus 4:1 (Moses Given Powerful Signs) Then Moses answered, “But behold, they will not believe me or listen to my voice, for they will say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you.’”
Exodus 4:2 The Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A staff.”
Exodus 4:3 And he said, “Throw it on the ground.” So he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses ran from it.
Exodus 4:4 But the Lord said to Moses, “Put out your hand and catch it by the tail”—so he put out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand—
Exodus 4:5 “that they may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”
Exodus 4:6 Again, the Lord said to him, “Put your hand inside your cloak.” And he put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous like snow.
Exodus 4:7 Then God said, “Put your hand back inside your cloak.” So he put his hand back inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, it was restored like the rest of his flesh.
Exodus 4:8 “If they will not believe you,” God said, “or listen to the first sign, they may believe the latter sign.
Exodus 4:9 If they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, you shall take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground, and the water that you shall take from the Nile will become blood on the dry ground.”
Exodus 4:10 But Moses said to the Lord, “Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue.”
Exodus 4:11 Then the Lord said to him, “Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?
Exodus 4:12 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.”
Exodus 4:13 But he said, “Oh, my Lord, please send someone else.”
Exodus 4:14 Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses and he said, “Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Behold, he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
Exodus 4:15 You shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth, and I will be with your mouth and with his mouth and will teach you both what to do.
Exodus 4:16 He shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be as God to him.
Exodus 4:17 And take in your hand this staff, with which you shall do the signs.”
Exodus 4:18 (Moses Returns to Egypt) Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, “Please let me go back to my brothers in Egypt to see whether they are still alive.” And Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”
Exodus 4:19 And the Lord said to Moses in Midian, “Go back to Egypt, for all the men who were seeking your life are dead.”
Exodus 4:20 So Moses took his wife and his sons and had them ride on a donkey, and went back to the land of Egypt. And Moses took the staff of God in his hand.
Exodus 4:21 And the Lord said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the miracles that I have put in your power. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go.
Exodus 4:22 Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the Lord, Israel is my firstborn son,
Exodus 4:23 and I say to you, “Let my son go that he may serve me.” If you refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill your firstborn son.’”
Exodus 4:24 At a lodging place on the way the Lord met him and sought to put him to death.
Exodus 4:25 Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses' feet with it and said, “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me!”
Exodus 4:26 So he let him alone. It was then that she said, “A bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.
Exodus 4:27 The Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” So he went and met him at the mountain of God and kissed him.
Exodus 4:28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord with which he had sent him to speak, and all the signs that he had commanded him to do.
Exodus 4:29 Then Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the people of Israel.
Exodus 4:30 Aaron spoke all the words that the Lord had spoken to Moses and did the signs in the sight of the people.
Exodus 4:31 And the people believed; and when they heard that the Lord had visited the people of Israel and that he had seen their affliction, they bowed their heads and worshiped.
Exodus 5:1 (Making Bricks Without Straw) Afterward Moses and Aaron went and said to Pharaoh, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’”
Exodus 5:2 But Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and moreover, I will not let Israel go.”
Exodus 5:3 Then they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go a three days' journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword.”
Exodus 5:4 But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you take the people away from their work? Get back to your burdens.”
Exodus 5:5 And Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens!”
Exodus 5:6 The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foremen,
Exodus 5:7 “You shall no longer give the people straw to make bricks, as in the past; let them go and gather straw for themselves.
Exodus 5:8 But the number of bricks that they made in the past you shall impose on them, you shall by no means reduce it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, ‘Let us go and offer sacrifice to our God.’
Exodus 5:9 Let heavier work be laid on the men that they may labor at it and pay no regard to lying words.”
Exodus 5:10 So the taskmasters and the foremen of the people went out and said to the people, “Thus says Pharaoh, ‘I will not give you straw.
Exodus 5:11 Go and get your straw yourselves wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced in the least.’”
Exodus 5:12 So the people were scattered throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
Exodus 5:13 The taskmasters were urgent, saying, “Complete your work, your daily task each day, as when there was straw.”
Exodus 5:14 And the foremen of the people of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten and were asked, “Why have you not done all your task of making bricks today and yesterday, as in the past?”
Exodus 5:15 Then the foremen of the people of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, “Why do you treat your servants like this?
Exodus 5:16 No straw is given to your servants, yet they say to us, ‘Make bricks!’ And behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”
Exodus 5:17 But he said, “You are idle, you are idle; that is why you say, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.’
Exodus 5:18 Go now and work. No straw will be given you, but you must still deliver the same number of bricks.”
Exodus 5:19 The foremen of the people of Israel saw that they were in trouble when they said, “You shall by no means reduce your number of bricks, your daily task each day.”
Exodus 5:20 They met Moses and Aaron, who were waiting for them, as they came out from Pharaoh;
Exodus 5:21 and they said to them, “The Lord look on you and judge, because you have made us stink in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants, and have put a sword in their hand to kill us.”
Exodus 5:22 Then Moses turned to the Lord and said, “O Lord, why have you done evil to this people? Why did you ever send me?
Exodus 5:23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to this people, and you have not delivered your people at all.”
Exodus 6:1 (God Promises Deliverance) But the Lord said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand he will send them out, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”
Exodus 6:2 God spoke to Moses and said to him, “I am the Lord.
Exodus 6:3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name the Lord I did not make myself known to them.
Exodus 6:4 I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they lived as sojourners.
Exodus 6:5 Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the people of Israel whom the Egyptians hold as slaves, and I have remembered my covenant.
Exodus 6:6 Say therefore to the people of Israel, ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from slavery to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment.
Exodus 6:7 I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God, and you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who has brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
Exodus 6:8 I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you for a possession. I am the Lord.’”
Exodus 6:9 Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery.
Exodus 6:10 So the Lord said to Moses,
Exodus 6:11 “Go in, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the people of Israel go out of his land.”
Exodus 6:12 But Moses said to the Lord, “Behold, the people of Israel have not listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, for I am of uncircumcised lips?”
Exodus 6:13 But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge about the people of Israel and about Pharaoh king of Egypt: to bring the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
Exodus 6:14 (The Genealogy of Moses and Aaron) These are the heads of their fathers' houses: the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these are the clans of Reuben.
Exodus 6:15 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the clans of Simeon.
Exodus 6:16 These are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, the years of the life of Levi being 137 years.
Exodus 6:17 The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, by their clans.
Exodus 6:18 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, the years of the life of Kohath being 133 years.
Exodus 6:19 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the clans of the Levites according to their generations.
Exodus 6:20 Amram took as his wife Jochebed his father's sister, and she bore him Aaron and Moses, the years of the life of Amram being 137 years.
Exodus 6:21 The sons of Izhar: Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri.
Exodus 6:22 The sons of Uzziel: Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri.
Exodus 6:23 Aaron took as his wife Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab and the sister of Nahshon, and she bore him Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Exodus 6:24 The sons of Korah: Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the clans of the Korahites.
Exodus 6:25 Eleazar, Aaron's son, took as his wife one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites by their clans.
Exodus 6:26 These are the Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said: “Bring out the people of Israel from the land of Egypt by their hosts.”
Exodus 6:27 It was they who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing out the people of Israel from Egypt, this Moses and this Aaron.
Exodus 6:28 On the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,
Exodus 6:29 the Lord said to Moses, “I am the Lord; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you.”
Exodus 6:30 But Moses said to the Lord, “Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips. How will Pharaoh listen to me?”
Exodus 7:1 (Moses and Aaron Before Pharaoh) And the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet.
Exodus 7:2 You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go out of his land.
Exodus 7:3 But I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and though I multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
Exodus 7:4 Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and bring my hosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment.
Exodus 7:5 The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring out the people of Israel from among them.”
Exodus 7:6 Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as the Lord commanded them.
Exodus 7:7 Now Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Exodus 7:8 Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
Exodus 7:9 “When Pharaoh says to you, ‘Prove yourselves by working a miracle,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent.’”
Exodus 7:10 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord commanded. Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a serpent.
Exodus 7:11 Then Pharaoh summoned the wise men and the sorcerers, and they, the magicians of Egypt, also did the same by their secret arts.
Exodus 7:12 For each man cast down his staff, and they became serpents. But Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs.
Exodus 7:13 Still Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the Lord had said.
Exodus 7:14 (The First Plague: Water Turned to Blood) Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh's heart is hardened; he refuses to let the people go.
Exodus 7:15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning, as he is going out to the water, and stand on the bank of the Nile to meet him. Take in your hand the staff that turned into a serpent.
Exodus 7:16 And you shall say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness.” But so far, you have not obeyed.
Exodus 7:17 Thus says the Lord, “By this you shall know that I am the Lord: behold, with the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water that is in the Nile, and it shall turn into blood.
Exodus 7:18 The fish in the Nile shall die, and the Nile will stink, and the Egyptians will grow weary of drinking water from the Nile.”’”
Exodus 7:19 And the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, their canals, and their ponds, and all their pools of water, so that they may become blood, and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, even in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”
Exodus 7:20 Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded. In the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants he lifted up the staff and struck the water in the Nile, and all the water in the Nile turned into blood.
Exodus 7:21 And the fish in the Nile died, and the Nile stank, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. There was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
Exodus 7:22 But the magicians of Egypt did the same by their secret arts. So Pharaoh's heart remained hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the Lord had said.
Exodus 7:23 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he did not take even this to heart.
Exodus 7:24 And all the Egyptians dug along the Nile for water to drink, for they could not drink the water of the Nile.
Exodus 7:25 Seven full days passed after the Lord had struck the Nile.
Exodus 8:1 (The Second Plague: Frogs) Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus 8:2 But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your country with frogs.
Exodus 8:3 The Nile shall swarm with frogs that shall come up into your house and into your bedroom and on your bed and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and your kneading bowls.
Exodus 8:4 The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your servants.”’”
Exodus 8:5 And the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt!’”
Exodus 8:6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
Exodus 8:7 But the magicians did the same by their secret arts and made frogs come up on the land of Egypt.
Exodus 8:8 Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said, “Plead with the Lord to take away the frogs from me and from my people, and I will let the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.”
Exodus 8:9 Moses said to Pharaoh, “Be pleased to command me when I am to plead for you and for your servants and for your people, that the frogs be cut off from you and your houses and be left only in the Nile.”
Exodus 8:10 And he said, “Tomorrow.” Moses said, “Be it as you say, so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
Exodus 8:11 The frogs shall go away from you and your houses and your servants and your people. They shall be left only in the Nile.”
Exodus 8:12 So Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the Lord about the frogs, as he had agreed with Pharaoh.
Exodus 8:13 And the Lord did according to the word of Moses. The frogs died out in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields.
Exodus 8:14 And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
Exodus 8:15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart and would not listen to them, as the Lord had said.
Exodus 8:16 (The Third Plague: Gnats) Then the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, so that it may become gnats in all the land of Egypt.’”
Exodus 8:17 And they did so. Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and there were gnats on man and beast. All the dust of the earth became gnats in all the land of Egypt.
Exodus 8:18 The magicians tried by their secret arts to produce gnats, but they could not. So there were gnats on man and beast.
Exodus 8:19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the Lord had said.
Exodus 8:20 (The Fourth Plague: Flies) Then the Lord said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning and present yourself to Pharaoh, as he goes out to the water, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus 8:21 Or else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you and your servants and your people, and into your houses. And the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they stand.
Exodus 8:22 But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where my people dwell, so that no swarms of flies shall be there, that you may know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.
Exodus 8:23 Thus I will put a division between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign shall happen.”’”
Exodus 8:24 And the Lord did so. There came great swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh and into his servants' houses. Throughout all the land of Egypt the land was ruined by the swarms of flies.
Exodus 8:25 Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within the land.”
Exodus 8:26 But Moses said, “It would not be right to do so, for the offerings we shall sacrifice to the Lord our God are an abomination to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice offerings abominable to the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us?
Exodus 8:27 We must go three days' journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God as he tells us.”
Exodus 8:28 So Pharaoh said, “I will let you go to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only you must not go very far away. Plead for me.”
Exodus 8:29 Then Moses said, “Behold, I am going out from you and I will plead with the Lord that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow. Only let not Pharaoh cheat again by not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.”
Exodus 8:30 So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord.
Exodus 8:31 And the Lord did as Moses asked, and removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; not one remained.
Exodus 8:32 But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and did not let the people go.
Exodus 9:1 (The Fifth Plague: Egyptian Livestock Die) Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus 9:2 For if you refuse to let them go and still hold them,
Exodus 9:3 behold, the hand of the Lord will fall with a very severe plague upon your livestock that are in the field, the horses, the donkeys, the camels, the herds, and the flocks.
Exodus 9:4 But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing of all that belongs to the people of Israel shall die.”’”
Exodus 9:5 And the Lord set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land.”
Exodus 9:6 And the next day the Lord did this thing. All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one of the livestock of the people of Israel died.
Exodus 9:7 And Pharaoh sent, and behold, not one of the livestock of Israel was dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
Exodus 9:8 (The Sixth Plague: Boils) And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from the kiln, and let Moses throw them in the air in the sight of Pharaoh.
Exodus 9:9 It shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and become boils breaking out in sores on man and beast throughout all the land of Egypt.”
Exodus 9:10 So they took soot from the kiln and stood before Pharaoh. And Moses threw it in the air, and it became boils breaking out in sores on man and beast.
Exodus 9:11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils came upon the magicians and upon all the Egyptians.
Exodus 9:12 But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
Exodus 9:13 (The Seventh Plague: Hail) Then the Lord said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning and present yourself before Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus 9:14 For this time I will send all my plagues on you yourself, and on your servants and your people, so that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth.
Exodus 9:15 For by now I could have put out my hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth.
Exodus 9:16 But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.
Exodus 9:17 You are still exalting yourself against my people and will not let them go.
Exodus 9:18 Behold, about this time tomorrow I will cause very heavy hail to fall, such as never has been in Egypt from the day it was founded until now.
Exodus 9:19 Now therefore send, get your livestock and all that you have in the field into safe shelter, for every man and beast that is in the field and is not brought home will die when the hail falls on them.”’”
Exodus 9:20 Then whoever feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh hurried his slaves and his livestock into the houses,
Exodus 9:21 but whoever did not pay attention to the word of the Lord left his slaves and his livestock in the field.
Exodus 9:22 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man and beast and every plant of the field, in the land of Egypt.”
Exodus 9:23 Then Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth. And the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
Exodus 9:24 There was hail and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very heavy hail, such as had never been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
Exodus 9:25 The hail struck down everything that was in the field in all the land of Egypt, both man and beast. And the hail struck down every plant of the field and broke every tree of the field.
Exodus 9:26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the people of Israel were, was there no hail.
Exodus 9:27 Then Pharaoh sent and called Moses and Aaron and said to them, “This time I have sinned; the Lord is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong.
Exodus 9:28 Plead with the Lord, for there has been enough of God's thunder and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.”
Exodus 9:29 Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will stretch out my hands to the Lord. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is the Lord's.
Exodus 9:30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the Lord God.”
Exodus 9:31 (The flax and the barley were struck down, for the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bud.
Exodus 9:32 But the wheat and the emmer were not struck down, for they are late in coming up.)
Exodus 9:33 So Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and stretched out his hands to the Lord, and the thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured upon the earth.
Exodus 9:34 But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had ceased, he sinned yet again and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
Exodus 9:35 So the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people of Israel go, just as the Lord had spoken through Moses.
Exodus 10:1 (The Eighth Plague: Locusts) Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that I may show these signs of mine among them,
Exodus 10:2 and that you may tell in the hearing of your son and of your grandson how I have dealt harshly with the Egyptians and what signs I have done among them, that you may know that I am the Lord.”
Exodus 10:3 So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus 10:4 For if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country,
Exodus 10:5 and they shall cover the face of the land, so that no one can see the land. And they shall eat what is left to you after the hail, and they shall eat every tree of yours that grows in the field,
Exodus 10:6 and they shall fill your houses and the houses of all your servants and of all the Egyptians, as neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen, from the day they came on earth to this day.’” Then he turned and went out from Pharaoh.
Exodus 10:7 Then Pharaoh's servants said to him, “How long shall this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God. Do you not yet understand that Egypt is ruined?”
Exodus 10:8 So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. And he said to them, “Go, serve the Lord your God. But which ones are to go?”
Exodus 10:9 Moses said, “We will go with our young and our old. We will go with our sons and daughters and with our flocks and herds, for we must hold a feast to the Lord.”
Exodus 10:10 But he said to them, “The Lord be with you, if ever I let you and your little ones go! Look, you have some evil purpose in mind.
Exodus 10:11 No! Go, the men among you, and serve the Lord, for that is what you are asking.” And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
Exodus 10:12 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, so that they may come upon the land of Egypt and eat every plant in the land, all that the hail has left.”
Exodus 10:13 So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind had brought the locusts.
Exodus 10:14 The locusts came up over all the land of Egypt and settled on the whole country of Egypt, such a dense swarm of locusts as had never been before, nor ever will be again.
Exodus 10:15 They covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened, and they ate all the plants in the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Not a green thing remained, neither tree nor plant of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
Exodus 10:16 Then Pharaoh hastily called Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
Exodus 10:17 Now therefore, forgive my sin, please, only this once, and plead with the Lord your God only to remove this death from me.”
Exodus 10:18 So he went out from Pharaoh and pleaded with the Lord.
Exodus 10:19 And the Lord turned the wind into a very strong west wind, which lifted the locusts and drove them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust was left in all the country of Egypt.
Exodus 10:20 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go.
Exodus 10:21 (The Ninth Plague: Darkness) Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness to be felt.”
Exodus 10:22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was pitch darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.
Exodus 10:23 They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the people of Israel had light where they lived.
Exodus 10:24 Then Pharaoh called Moses and said, “Go, serve the Lord; your little ones also may go with you; only let your flocks and your herds remain behind.”
Exodus 10:25 But Moses said, “You must also let us have sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.
Exodus 10:26 Our livestock also must go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind, for we must take of them to serve the Lord our God, and we do not know with what we must serve the Lord until we arrive there.”
Exodus 10:27 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
Exodus 10:28 Then Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me; take care never to see my face again, for on the day you see my face you shall die.”
Exodus 10:29 Moses said, “As you say! I will not see your face again.”
Exodus 11:1 (A Final Plague Threatened) The Lord said to Moses, “Yet one plague more I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt. Afterward he will let you go from here. When he lets you go, he will drive you away completely.
Exodus 11:2 Speak now in the hearing of the people, that they ask, every man of his neighbor and every woman of her neighbor, for silver and gold jewelry.”
Exodus 11:3 And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants and in the sight of the people.
Exodus 11:4 So Moses said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘About midnight I will go out in the midst of Egypt,
Exodus 11:5 and every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the cattle.
Exodus 11:6 There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has never been, nor ever will be again.
Exodus 11:7 But not a dog shall growl against any of the people of Israel, either man or beast, that you may know that the Lord makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.’
Exodus 11:8 And all these your servants shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, ‘Get out, you and all the people who follow you.’ And after that I will go out.” And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger.
Exodus 11:9 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh will not listen to you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”
Exodus 11:10 Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go out of his land.
Exodus 12:1 (The Passover) The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
Exodus 12:2 “This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you.
Exodus 12:3 Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household.
Exodus 12:4 And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.
Exodus 12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats,
Exodus 12:6 and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight.
Exodus 12:7 “Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
Exodus 12:8 They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it.
Exodus 12:9 Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted, its head with its legs and its inner parts.
Exodus 12:10 And you shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn.
Exodus 12:11 In this manner you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord's Passover.
Exodus 12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord.
Exodus 12:13 The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.
Exodus 12:14 “This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord; throughout your generations, as a statute forever, you shall keep it as a feast.
Exodus 12:15 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.
Exodus 12:16 On the first day you shall hold a holy assembly, and on the seventh day a holy assembly. No work shall be done on those days. But what everyone needs to eat, that alone may be prepared by you.
Exodus 12:17 And you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day, throughout your generations, as a statute forever.
Exodus 12:18 In the first month, from the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month at evening.
Exodus 12:19 For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses. If anyone eats what is leavened, that person will be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a sojourner or a native of the land.
Exodus 12:20 You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwelling places you shall eat unleavened bread.”
Exodus 12:21 Then Moses called all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go and select lambs for yourselves according to your clans, and kill the Passover lamb.
Exodus 12:22 Take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and touch the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.
Exodus 12:23 For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.
Exodus 12:24 You shall observe this rite as a statute for you and for your sons forever.
Exodus 12:25 And when you come to the land that the Lord will give you, as he has promised, you shall keep this service.
Exodus 12:26 And when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’
Exodus 12:27 you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the Lord's Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.’” And the people bowed their heads and worshiped.
Exodus 12:28 Then the people of Israel went and did so; as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
Exodus 12:29 (The Tenth Plague: Death of the Firstborn) At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the livestock.
Exodus 12:30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians. And there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where someone was not dead.
Exodus 12:31 Then he summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Up, go out from among my people, both you and the people of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as you have said.
Exodus 12:32 Take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone, and bless me also!”
Exodus 12:33 (The Exodus) The Egyptians were urgent with the people to send them out of the land in haste. For they said, “We shall all be dead.”
Exodus 12:34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading bowls being bound up in their cloaks on their shoulders.
Exodus 12:35 The people of Israel had also done as Moses told them, for they had asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry and for clothing.
Exodus 12:36 And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.
Exodus 12:37 And the people of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.
Exodus 12:38 A mixed multitude also went up with them, and very much livestock, both flocks and herds.
Exodus 12:39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough that they had brought out of Egypt, for it was not leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves.
Exodus 12:40 The time that the people of Israel lived in Egypt was 430 years.
Exodus 12:41 At the end of 430 years, on that very day, all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.
Exodus 12:42 It was a night of watching by the Lord, to bring them out of the land of Egypt; so this same night is a night of watching kept to the Lord by all the people of Israel throughout their generations.
Exodus 12:43 (Institution of the Passover) And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: no foreigner shall eat of it,
Exodus 12:44 but every slave that is bought for money may eat of it after you have circumcised him.
Exodus 12:45 No foreigner or hired worker may eat of it.
Exodus 12:46 It shall be eaten in one house; you shall not take any of the flesh outside the house, and you shall not break any of its bones.
Exodus 12:47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
Exodus 12:48 If a stranger shall sojourn with you and would keep the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised. Then he may come near and keep it; he shall be as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
Exodus 12:49 There shall be one law for the native and for the stranger who sojourns among you.”
Exodus 12:50 All the people of Israel did just as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron.
Exodus 12:51 And on that very day the Lord brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.
Exodus 13:1 (Consecration of the Firstborn) The Lord said to Moses,
Exodus 13:2 “Consecrate to me all the firstborn. Whatever is the first to open the womb among the people of Israel, both of man and of beast, is mine.”
Exodus 13:3 (The Feast of Unleavened Bread) Then Moses said to the people, “Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery, for by a strong hand the Lord brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.
Exodus 13:4 Today, in the month of Abib, you are going out.
Exodus 13:5 And when the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, you shall keep this service in this month.
Exodus 13:6 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the Lord.
Exodus 13:7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days; no leavened bread shall be seen with you, and no leaven shall be seen with you in all your territory.
Exodus 13:8 You shall tell your son on that day, ‘It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’
Exodus 13:9 And it shall be to you as a sign on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth. For with a strong hand the Lord has brought you out of Egypt.
Exodus 13:10 You shall therefore keep this statute at its appointed time from year to year.
Exodus 13:11 “When the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to you and your fathers, and shall give it to you,
Exodus 13:12 you shall set apart to the Lord all that first opens the womb. All the firstborn of your animals that are males shall be the Lord's.
Exodus 13:13 Every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. Every firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem.
Exodus 13:14 And when in time to come your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ you shall say to him, ‘By a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, from the house of slavery.
Exodus 13:15 For when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of animals. Therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all the males that first open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’
Exodus 13:16 It shall be as a mark on your hand or frontlets between your eyes, for by a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt.”
Exodus 13:17 (Pillars of Cloud and Fire) When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near. For God said, “Lest the people change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt.”
Exodus 13:18 But God led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the people of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt equipped for battle.
Exodus 13:19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph had made the sons of Israel solemnly swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones with you from here.”
Exodus 13:20 And they moved on from Succoth and encamped at Etham, on the edge of the wilderness.
Exodus 13:21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night.
Exodus 13:22 The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people.
Exodus 14:1 (Crossing the Red Sea) Then the Lord said to Moses,
Exodus 14:2 “Tell the people of Israel to turn back and encamp in front of Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, in front of Baal-zephon; you shall encamp facing it, by the sea.
Exodus 14:3 For Pharaoh will say of the people of Israel, ‘They are wandering in the land; the wilderness has shut them in.’
Exodus 14:4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.
Exodus 14:5 When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the mind of Pharaoh and his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”
Exodus 14:6 So he made ready his chariot and took his army with him,
Exodus 14:7 and took six hundred chosen chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt with officers over all of them.
Exodus 14:8 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the people of Israel while the people of Israel were going out defiantly.
Exodus 14:9 The Egyptians pursued them, all Pharaoh's horses and chariots and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them encamped at the sea, by Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon.
Exodus 14:10 When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they feared greatly. And the people of Israel cried out to the Lord.
Exodus 14:11 They said to Moses, “Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt?
Exodus 14:12 Is not this what we said to you in Egypt: ‘Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”
Exodus 14:13 And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again.
Exodus 14:14 The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”
Exodus 14:15 The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward.
Exodus 14:16 Lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground.
Exodus 14:17 And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they shall go in after them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Exodus 14:18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten glory over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
Exodus 14:19 Then the angel of God who was going before the host of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them,
Exodus 14:20 coming between the host of Egypt and the host of Israel. And there was the cloud and the darkness. And it lit up the night without one coming near the other all night.
Exodus 14:21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
Exodus 14:22 And the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
Exodus 14:23 The Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Exodus 14:24 And in the morning watch the Lord in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down on the Egyptian forces and threw the Egyptian forces into a panic,
Exodus 14:25 clogging their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from before Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”
Exodus 14:26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.”
Exodus 14:27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal course when the morning appeared. And as the Egyptians fled into it, the Lord threw the Egyptians into the midst of the sea.
Exodus 14:28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen; of all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea, not one of them remained.
Exodus 14:29 But the people of Israel walked on dry ground through the sea, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
Exodus 14:30 Thus the Lord saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
Exodus 14:31 Israel saw the great power that the Lord used against the Egyptians, so the people feared the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses.
Exodus 15:1 (The Song of Moses) Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying, “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
Exodus 15:2 The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.
Exodus 15:3 The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is his name.
Exodus 15:4 “Pharaoh's chariots and his host he cast into the sea, and his chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea.
Exodus 15:5 The floods covered them; they went down into the depths like a stone.
Exodus 15:6 Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power, your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy.
Exodus 15:7 In the greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries; you send out your fury; it consumes them like stubble.
Exodus 15:8 At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up; the floods stood up in a heap; the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.
Exodus 15:9 The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them. I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’
Exodus 15:10 You blew with your wind; the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.
Exodus 15:11 “Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?
Exodus 15:12 You stretched out your right hand; the earth swallowed them.
Exodus 15:13 “You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed; you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode.
Exodus 15:14 The peoples have heard; they tremble; pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
Exodus 15:15 Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed; trembling seizes the leaders of Moab; all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
Exodus 15:16 Terror and dread fall upon them; because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone, till your people, O Lord, pass by, till the people pass by whom you have purchased.
Exodus 15:17 You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain, the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode, the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.
Exodus 15:18 The Lord will reign forever and ever.”
Exodus 15:19 For when the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea.
Exodus 15:20 Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing.
Exodus 15:21 And Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.”
Exodus 15:22 (Bitter Water Made Sweet) Then Moses made Israel set out from the Red Sea, and they went into the wilderness of Shur. They went three days in the wilderness and found no water.
Exodus 15:23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter; therefore it was named Marah.
Exodus 15:24 And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
Exodus 15:25 And he cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a log, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There the Lord made for them a statute and a rule, and there he tested them,
Exodus 15:26 saying, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, your healer.”
Exodus 15:27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there by the water.
Exodus 16:1 (Bread from Heaven) They set out from Elim, and all the congregation of the people of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had departed from the land of Egypt.
Exodus 16:2 And the whole congregation of the people of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness,
Exodus 16:3 and the people of Israel said to them, “Would that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots and ate bread to the full, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”
Exodus 16:4 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I am about to rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law or not.
Exodus 16:5 On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather daily.”
Exodus 16:6 So Moses and Aaron said to all the people of Israel, “At evening you shall know that it was the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
Exodus 16:7 and in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord, because he has heard your grumbling against the Lord. For what are we, that you grumble against us?”
Exodus 16:8 And Moses said, “When the Lord gives you in the evening meat to eat and in the morning bread to the full, because the Lord has heard your grumbling that you grumble against him—what are we? Your grumbling is not against us but against the Lord.”
Exodus 16:9 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Say to the whole congregation of the people of Israel, ‘Come near before the Lord, for he has heard your grumbling.’”
Exodus 16:10 And as soon as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the people of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.
Exodus 16:11 And the Lord said to Moses,
Exodus 16:12 “I have heard the grumbling of the people of Israel. Say to them, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’”
Exodus 16:13 In the evening quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning dew lay around the camp.
Exodus 16:14 And when the dew had gone up, there was on the face of the wilderness a fine, flake-like thing, fine as frost on the ground.
Exodus 16:15 When the people of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.
Exodus 16:16 This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Gather of it, each one of you, as much as he can eat. You shall each take an omer, according to the number of the persons that each of you has in his tent.’”
Exodus 16:17 And the people of Israel did so. They gathered, some more, some less.
Exodus 16:18 But when they measured it with an omer, whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack. Each of them gathered as much as he could eat.
Exodus 16:19 And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it over till the morning.”
Exodus 16:20 But they did not listen to Moses. Some left part of it till the morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them.
Exodus 16:21 Morning by morning they gathered it, each as much as he could eat; but when the sun grew hot, it melted.
Exodus 16:22 On the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers each. And when all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses,
Exodus 16:23 he said to them, “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Tomorrow is a day of solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord; bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and all that is left over lay aside to be kept till the morning.’”
Exodus 16:24 So they laid it aside till the morning, as Moses commanded them, and it did not stink, and there were no worms in it.
Exodus 16:25 Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field.
Exodus 16:26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, which is a Sabbath, there will be none.”
Exodus 16:27 On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they found none.
Exodus 16:28 And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
Exodus 16:29 See! The Lord has given you the Sabbath; therefore on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days. Remain each of you in his place; let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.”
Exodus 16:30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Exodus 16:31 Now the house of Israel called its name manna. It was like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
Exodus 16:32 Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Let an omer of it be kept throughout your generations, so that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”
Exodus 16:33 And Moses said to Aaron, “Take a jar, and put an omer of manna in it, and place it before the Lord to be kept throughout your generations.”
Exodus 16:34 As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before the testimony to be kept.
Exodus 16:35 The people of Israel ate the manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land. They ate the manna till they came to the border of the land of Canaan.
Exodus 16:36 (An omer is the tenth part of an ephah.)
Exodus 17:1 (Water from the Rock) All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.
Exodus 17:2 Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the Lord?”
Exodus 17:3 But the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?”
Exodus 17:4 So Moses cried to the Lord, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.”
Exodus 17:5 And the Lord said to Moses, “Pass on before the people, taking with you some of the elders of Israel, and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go.
Exodus 17:6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will drink.” And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel.
Exodus 17:7 And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the quarreling of the people of Israel, and because they tested the Lord by saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”
Exodus 17:8 (Israel Defeats Amalek) Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim.
Exodus 17:9 So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.”
Exodus 17:10 So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Exodus 17:11 Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Exodus 17:12 But Moses' hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
Exodus 17:13 And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword.
Exodus 17:14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”
Exodus 17:15 And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord Is My Banner,
Exodus 17:16 saying, “A hand upon the throne of the Lord! The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
Exodus 18:1 (Jethro's Advice) Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel his people, how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt.
Exodus 18:2 Now Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, had taken Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her home,
Exodus 18:3 along with her two sons. The name of the one was Gershom (for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a foreign land”),
Exodus 18:4 and the name of the other, Eliezer (for he said, “The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh”).
Exodus 18:5 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness where he was encamped at the mountain of God.
Exodus 18:6 And when he sent word to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her,”
Exodus 18:7 Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him. And they asked each other of their welfare and went into the tent.
Exodus 18:8 Then Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, all the hardship that had come upon them in the way, and how the Lord had delivered them.
Exodus 18:9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the good that the Lord had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.
Exodus 18:10 Jethro said, “Blessed be the Lord, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh and has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
Exodus 18:11 Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods, because in this affair they dealt arrogantly with the people.”
Exodus 18:12 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and sacrifices to God; and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God.
Exodus 18:13 The next day Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from morning till evening.
Exodus 18:14 When Moses' father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, “What is this that you are doing for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning till evening?”
Exodus 18:15 And Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God;
Exodus 18:16 when they have a dispute, they come to me and I decide between one person and another, and I make them know the statutes of God and his laws.”
Exodus 18:17 Moses' father-in-law said to him, “What you are doing is not good.
Exodus 18:18 You and the people with you will certainly wear yourselves out, for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it alone.
Exodus 18:19 Now obey my voice; I will give you advice, and God be with you! You shall represent the people before God and bring their cases to God,
Exodus 18:20 and you shall warn them about the statutes and the laws, and make them know the way in which they must walk and what they must do.
Exodus 18:21 Moreover, look for able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, and place such men over the people as chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.
Exodus 18:22 And let them judge the people at all times. Every great matter they shall bring to you, but any small matter they shall decide themselves. So it will be easier for you, and they will bear the burden with you.
Exodus 18:23 If you do this, God will direct you, you will be able to endure, and all this people also will go to their place in peace.”
Exodus 18:24 So Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said.
Exodus 18:25 Moses chose able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.
Exodus 18:26 And they judged the people at all times. Any hard case they brought to Moses, but any small matter they decided themselves.
Exodus 18:27 Then Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went away to his own country.
Exodus 19:1 (Israel at Mount Sinai) On the third new moon after the people of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
Exodus 19:2 They set out from Rephidim and came into the wilderness of Sinai, and they encamped in the wilderness. There Israel encamped before the mountain,
Exodus 19:3 while Moses went up to God. The Lord called to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel:
Exodus 19:4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.
Exodus 19:5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine;
Exodus 19:6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.”
Exodus 19:7 So Moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the Lord had commanded him.
Exodus 19:8 All the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” And Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord.
Exodus 19:9 And the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I am coming to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.” When Moses told the words of the people to the Lord,
Exodus 19:10 the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments
Exodus 19:11 and be ready for the third day. For on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.
Exodus 19:12 And you shall set limits for the people all around, saying, ‘Take care not to go up into the mountain or touch the edge of it. Whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death.
Exodus 19:13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall be stoned or shot; whether beast or man, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain.”
Exodus 19:14 So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and consecrated the people; and they washed their garments.
Exodus 19:15 And he said to the people, “Be ready for the third day; do not go near a woman.”
Exodus 19:16 On the morning of the third day there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud on the mountain and a very loud trumpet blast, so that all the people in the camp trembled.
Exodus 19:17 Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain.
Exodus 19:18 Now Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke because the Lord had descended on it in fire. The smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln, and the whole mountain trembled greatly.
Exodus 19:19 And as the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him in thunder.
Exodus 19:20 The Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
Exodus 19:21 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down and warn the people, lest they break through to the Lord to look and many of them perish.
Exodus 19:22 Also let the priests who come near to the Lord consecrate themselves, lest the Lord break out against them.”
Exodus 19:23 And Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai, for you yourself warned us, saying, ‘Set limits around the mountain and consecrate it.’”
Exodus 19:24 And the Lord said to him, “Go down, and come up bringing Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to the Lord, lest he break out against them.”
Exodus 19:25 So Moses went down to the people and told them.
Exodus 20:1 (The Ten Commandments) And God spoke all these words, saying,
Exodus 20:2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before me.
Exodus 20:4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Exodus 20:5 You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
Exodus 20:6 but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Exodus 20:7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Exodus 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exodus 20:9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work,
Exodus 20:10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates.
Exodus 20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
Exodus 20:12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
Exodus 20:13 “You shall not murder.
Exodus 20:14 “You shall not commit adultery.
Exodus 20:15 “You shall not steal.
Exodus 20:16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Exodus 20:17 “You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.”
Exodus 20:18 Now when all the people saw the thunder and the flashes of lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, the people were afraid and trembled, and they stood far off
Exodus 20:19 and said to Moses, “You speak to us, and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us, lest we die.”
Exodus 20:20 Moses said to the people, “Do not fear, for God has come to test you, that the fear of him may be before you, that you may not sin.”
Exodus 20:21 The people stood far off, while Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
Exodus 20:22 (Laws About Altars) And the Lord said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the people of Israel: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have talked with you from heaven.
Exodus 20:23 You shall not make gods of silver to be with me, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold.
Exodus 20:24 An altar of earth you shall make for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen. In every place where I cause my name to be remembered I will come to you and bless you.
Exodus 20:25 If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stones, for if you wield your tool on it you profane it.
Exodus 20:26 And you shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness be not exposed on it.’
Exodus 21:1 (Laws About Slaves) “Now these are the rules that you shall set before them.
Exodus 21:2 When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing.
Exodus 21:3 If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him.
Exodus 21:4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out alone.
Exodus 21:5 But if the slave plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’
Exodus 21:6 then his master shall bring him to God, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall be his slave forever.
Exodus 21:7 “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do.
Exodus 21:8 If she does not please her master, who has designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has broken faith with her.
Exodus 21:9 If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her as with a daughter.
Exodus 21:10 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or her marital rights.
Exodus 21:11 And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out for nothing, without payment of money.
Exodus 21:12 “Whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death.
Exodus 21:13 But if he did not lie in wait for him, but God let him fall into his hand, then I will appoint for you a place to which he may flee.

Exodus 21:20 “When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be avenged.
Exodus 21:21 But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be avenged, for the slave is his money.
Exodus 21:22 “When men strive together and hit a pregnant woman, so that her children come out, but there is no harm, the one who hit her shall surely be fined, as the woman's husband shall impose on him, and he shall pay as the judges determine.

Exodus 21:30 If a ransom is imposed on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is imposed on him.
Exodus 21:31 If it gores a man's son or daughter, he shall be dealt with according to this same rule.

Exodus 21:35 “When one man's ox butts another's, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and share its price, and the dead beast also they shall share.

Exodus 22:2 If a thief is found breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt for him,

Exodus 22:9 For every breach of trust, whether it is for an ox, for a donkey, for a sheep, for a cloak, or for any kind of lost thing, of which one says, ‘This is it,’ the case of both parties shall come before God. The one whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.
Exodus 22:10 “If a man gives to his neighbor a donkey or an ox or a sheep or any beast to keep safe, and it dies or is injured or is driven away, without anyone seeing it,

Exodus 29:20 and you shall kill the ram and take part of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron and on the tips of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the great toes of their right feet, and throw the rest of the blood against the sides of the altar.
Exodus 29:21 Then you shall take part of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments, and on his sons and his sons' garments with him. He and his garments shall be holy, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.
Exodus 29:22 “You shall also take the fat from the ram and the fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails, and the long lobe of the liver and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of ordination),
Exodus 29:23 and one loaf of bread and one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before the Lord.
Exodus 29:24 You shall put all these on the palms of Aaron and on the palms of his sons, and wave them for a wave offering before the Lord.
Exodus 29:25 Then you shall take them from their hands and burn them on the altar on top of the burnt offering, as a pleasing aroma before the Lord. It is a food offering to the Lord.
Exodus 29:26 “You shall take the breast of the ram of Aaron's ordination and wave it for a wave offering before the Lord, and it shall be your portion.
Exodus 29:27 And you shall consecrate the breast of the wave offering that is waved and the thigh of the priests' portion that is contributed from the ram of ordination, from what was Aaron's and his sons'.
Exodus 29:28 It shall be for Aaron and his sons as a perpetual due from the people of Israel, for it is a contribution. It shall be a contribution from the people of Israel from their peace offerings, their contribution to the Lord.
Exodus 29:29 “The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him; they shall be anointed in them and ordained in them.
Exodus 29:30 The son who succeeds him as priest, who comes into the tent of meeting to minister in the Holy Place, shall wear them seven days.
Exodus 29:31 “You shall take the ram of ordination and boil its flesh in a holy place.
Exodus 29:32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread that is in the basket in the entrance of the tent of meeting.
Exodus 29:33 They shall eat those things with which atonement was made at their ordination and consecration, but an outsider shall not eat of them, because they are holy.
Exodus 29:34 And if any of the flesh for the ordination or of the bread remain until the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
Exodus 29:35 “Thus you shall do to Aaron and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. Through seven days shall you ordain them,
Exodus 29:36 and every day you shall offer a bull as a sin offering for atonement. Also you shall purify the altar, when you make atonement for it, and shall anoint it to consecrate it.
Exodus 29:37 Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and consecrate it, and the altar shall be most holy. Whatever touches the altar shall become holy.
Exodus 29:38 “Now this is what you shall offer on the altar: two lambs a year old day by day regularly.
Exodus 29:39 One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight.
Exodus 29:40 And with the first lamb a tenth measure of fine flour mingled with a fourth of a hin of beaten oil, and a fourth of a hin of wine for a drink offering.
Exodus 29:41 The other lamb you shall offer at twilight, and shall offer with it a grain offering and its drink offering, as in the morning, for a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord.
Exodus 29:42 It shall be a regular burnt offering throughout your generations at the entrance of the tent of meeting before the Lord, where I will meet with you, to speak to you there.
Exodus 29:43 There I will meet with the people of Israel, and it shall be sanctified by my glory.
Exodus 29:44 I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar. Aaron also and his sons I will consecrate to serve me as priests.
Exodus 29:45 I will dwell among the people of Israel and will be their God.
Exodus 29:46 And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.
Exodus 30:1 (The Altar of Incense) “You shall make an altar on which to burn incense; you shall make it of acacia wood.
Exodus 30:2 A cubit shall be its length, and a cubit its breadth. It shall be square, and two cubits shall be its height. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.
Exodus 30:3 You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and around its sides and its horns. And you shall make a molding of gold around it.
Exodus 30:4 And you shall make two golden rings for it. Under its molding on two opposite sides of it you shall make them, and they shall be holders for poles with which to carry it.
Exodus 30:5 You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.
Exodus 30:6 And you shall put it in front of the veil that is above the ark of the testimony, in front of the mercy seat that is above the testimony, where I will meet with you.
Exodus 30:7 And Aaron shall burn fragrant incense on it. Every morning when he dresses the lamps he shall burn it,
Exodus 30:8 and when Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he shall burn it, a regular incense offering before the Lord throughout your generations.
Exodus 30:9 You shall not offer unauthorized incense on it, or a burnt offering, or a grain offering, and you shall not pour a drink offering on it.
Exodus 30:10 Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once a year. With the blood of the sin offering of atonement he shall make atonement for it once in the year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord.”
Exodus 30:11 (The Census Tax) The Lord said to Moses,
Exodus 30:12 “When you take the census of the people of Israel, then each shall give a ransom for his life to the Lord when you number them, that there be no plague among them when you number them.
Exodus 30:13 Each one who is numbered in the census shall give this: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs), half a shekel as an offering to the Lord.
Exodus 30:14 Everyone who is numbered in the census, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the Lord's offering.
Exodus 30:15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when you give the Lord's offering to make atonement for your lives.
Exodus 30:16 You shall take the atonement money from the people of Israel and shall give it for the service of the tent of meeting, that it may bring the people of Israel to remembrance before the Lord, so as to make atonement for your lives.”
Exodus 30:17 (The Bronze Basin) The Lord said to Moses,
Exodus 30:18 “You shall also make a basin of bronze, with its stand of bronze, for washing. You shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it,
Exodus 30:19 with which Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet.
Exodus 30:20 When they go into the tent of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn a food offering to the Lord, they shall wash with water, so that they may not die.
Exodus 30:21 They shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they may not die. It shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his offspring throughout their generations.”
Exodus 30:22 (The Anointing Oil and Incense) The Lord said to Moses,
Exodus 30:23 “Take the finest spices: of liquid myrrh 500 shekels, and of sweet-smelling cinnamon half as much, that is, 250, and 250 of aromatic cane,
Exodus 30:24 and 500 of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.
Exodus 30:25 And you shall make of these a sacred anointing oil blended as by the perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil.
Exodus 30:26 With it you shall anoint the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony,
Exodus 30:27 and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,
Exodus 30:28 and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils and the basin and its stand.
Exodus 30:29 You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them will become holy.
Exodus 30:30 You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may serve me as priests.
Exodus 30:31 And you shall say to the people of Israel, ‘This shall be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations.
Exodus 30:32 It shall not be poured on the body of an ordinary person, and you shall make no other like it in composition. It is holy, and it shall be holy to you.
Exodus 30:33 Whoever compounds any like it or whoever puts any of it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.’”
Exodus 30:34 The Lord said to Moses, “Take sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, sweet spices with pure frankincense (of each shall there be an equal part),
Exodus 30:35 and make an incense blended as by the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.
Exodus 30:36 You shall beat some of it very small, and put part of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting where I shall meet with you. It shall be most holy for you.
Exodus 30:37 And the incense that you shall make according to its composition, you shall not make for yourselves. It shall be for you holy to the Lord.
Exodus 30:38 Whoever makes any like it to use as perfume shall be cut off from his people.”
Exodus 31:1 (Oholiab and Bezalel) The Lord said to Moses,
Exodus 31:2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
Exodus 31:3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship,
Exodus 31:4 to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze,
Exodus 31:5 in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft.
Exodus 31:6 And behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And I have given to all able men ability, that they may make all that I have commanded you:
Exodus 31:7 the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furnishings of the tent,
Exodus 31:8 the table and its utensils, and the pure lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of incense,
Exodus 31:9 and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin and its stand,
Exodus 31:10 and the finely worked garments, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, for their service as priests,
Exodus 31:11 and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the Holy Place. According to all that I have commanded you, they shall do.”
Exodus 31:12 (The Sabbath) And the Lord said to Moses,
Exodus 31:13 “You are to speak to the people of Israel and say, ‘Above all you shall keep my Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, the Lord, sanctify you.
Exodus 31:14 You shall keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you. Everyone who profanes it shall be put to death. Whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
Exodus 31:15 Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall be put to death.
Exodus 31:16 Therefore the people of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath throughout their generations, as a covenant forever.
Exodus 31:17 It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’”
Exodus 31:18 And he gave to Moses, when he had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.
Exodus 32:1 (The Golden Calf) When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron and said to him, “Up, make us gods who shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.”
Exodus 32:2 So Aaron said to them, “Take off the rings of gold that are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.”
Exodus 32:3 So all the people took off the rings of gold that were in their ears and brought them to Aaron.
Exodus 32:4 And he received the gold from their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool and made a golden calf. And they said, “These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
Exodus 32:5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made a proclamation and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to the Lord.”
Exodus 32:6 And they rose up early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.
Exodus 32:7 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.
Exodus 32:8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them. They have made for themselves a golden calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it and said, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!’”
Exodus 32:9 And the Lord said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
Exodus 32:10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them, in order that I may make a great nation of you.”
Exodus 32:11 But Moses implored the Lord his God and said, “O Lord, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
Exodus 32:12 Why should the Egyptians say, ‘With evil intent did he bring them out, to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from your burning anger and relent from this disaster against your people.
Exodus 32:13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’”
Exodus 32:14 And the Lord relented from the disaster that he had spoken of bringing on his people.
Exodus 32:15 Then Moses turned and went down from the mountain with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, tablets that were written on both sides; on the front and on the back they were written.
Exodus 32:16 The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
Exodus 32:17 When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is a noise of war in the camp.”
Exodus 32:18 But he said, “It is not the sound of shouting for victory, or the sound of the cry of defeat, but the sound of singing that I hear.”
Exodus 32:19 And as soon as he came near the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, Moses' anger burned hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain.
Exodus 32:20 He took the calf that they had made and burned it with fire and ground it to powder and scattered it on the water and made the people of Israel drink it.
Exodus 32:21 And Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you that you have brought such a great sin upon them?”
Exodus 32:22 And Aaron said, “Let not the anger of my lord burn hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
Exodus 32:23 For they said to me, ‘Make us gods who shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’
Exodus 32:24 So I said to them, ‘Let any who have gold take it off.’ So they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
Exodus 32:25 And when Moses saw that the people had broken loose (for Aaron had let them break loose, to the derision of their enemies),
Exodus 32:26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp and said, “Who is on the Lord's side? Come to me.” And all the sons of Levi gathered around him.
Exodus 32:27 And he said to them, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘Put your sword on your side each of you, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and each of you kill his brother and his companion and his neighbor.’”
Exodus 32:28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And that day about three thousand men of the people fell.
Exodus 32:29 And Moses said, “Today you have been ordained for the service of the Lord, each one at the cost of his son and of his brother, so that he might bestow a blessing upon you this day.”
Exodus 32:30 The next day Moses said to the people, “You have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to the Lord; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”
Exodus 32:31 So Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Alas, this people has sinned a great sin. They have made for themselves gods of gold.
Exodus 32:32 But now, if you will forgive their sin—but if not, please blot me out of your book that you have written.”
Exodus 32:33 But the Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot out of my book.
Exodus 32:34 But now go, lead the people to the place about which I have spoken to you; behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them.”
Exodus 32:35 Then the Lord sent a plague on the people, because they made the calf, the one that Aaron made.
Exodus 33:1 (The Command to Leave Sinai) The Lord said to Moses, “Depart; go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give it.’
Exodus 33:2 I will send an angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Exodus 33:3 Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, lest I consume you on the way, for you are a stiff-necked people.”
Exodus 33:4 When the people heard this disastrous word, they mourned, and no one put on his ornaments.
Exodus 33:5 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Say to the people of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people; if for a single moment I should go up among you, I would consume you. So now take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do with you.’”
Exodus 33:6 Therefore the people of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, from Mount Horeb onward.
Exodus 33:7 (The Tent of Meeting) Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp.
Exodus 33:8 Whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would rise up, and each would stand at his tent door, and watch Moses until he had gone into the tent.
Exodus 33:9 When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent, and the Lord would speak with Moses.
Exodus 33:10 And when all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would rise up and worship, each at his tent door.
Exodus 33:11 Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his assistant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.
Exodus 33:12 (Moses' Intercession) Moses said to the Lord, “See, you say to me, ‘Bring up this people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’
Exodus 33:13 Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you in order to find favor in your sight. Consider too that this nation is your people.”
Exodus 33:14 And he said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
Exodus 33:15 And he said to him, “If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here.
Exodus 33:16 For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not in your going with us, so that we are distinct, I and your people, from every other people on the face of the earth?”
Exodus 33:17 And the Lord said to Moses, “This very thing that you have spoken I will do, for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.”
Exodus 33:18 Moses said, “Please show me your glory.”
Exodus 33:19 And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
Exodus 33:20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.”
Exodus 33:21 And the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock,
Exodus 33:22 and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by.
Exodus 33:23 Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.”
Exodus 34:1 (Moses Makes New Tablets) The Lord said to Moses, “Cut for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.
Exodus 34:2 Be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain.
Exodus 34:3 No one shall come up with you, and let no one be seen throughout all the mountain. Let no flocks or herds graze opposite that mountain.”
Exodus 34:4 So Moses cut two tablets of stone like the first. And he rose early in the morning and went up on Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand two tablets of stone.
Exodus 34:5 The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord.
Exodus 34:6 The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness,
Exodus 34:7 keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation.”
Exodus 34:8 And Moses quickly bowed his head toward the earth and worshiped.
Exodus 34:9 And he said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, please let the Lord go in the midst of us, for it is a stiff-necked people, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.”
Exodus 34:10 (The Covenant Renewed) And he said, “Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been created in all the earth or in any nation. And all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord, for it is an awesome thing that I will do with you.
Exodus 34:11 “Observe what I command you this day. Behold, I will drive out before you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Exodus 34:12 Take care, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you go, lest it become a snare in your midst.
Exodus 34:13 You shall tear down their altars and break their pillars and cut down their Asherim
Exodus 34:14 (for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God),
Exodus 34:15 lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and when they whore after their gods and sacrifice to their gods and you are invited, you eat of his sacrifice,
Exodus 34:16 and you take of their daughters for your sons, and their daughters whore after their gods and make your sons whore after their gods.
Exodus 34:17 “You shall not make for yourself any gods of cast metal.
Exodus 34:18 “You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib, for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt.
Exodus 34:19 All that open the womb are mine, all your male livestock, the firstborn of cow and sheep.
Exodus 34:20 The firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. And none shall appear before me empty-handed.
Exodus 34:21 “Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest. In plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.
Exodus 34:22 You shall observe the Feast of Weeks, the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the year's end.
Exodus 34:23 Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel.
Exodus 34:24 For I will cast out nations before you and enlarge your borders; no one shall covet your land, when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in the year.
Exodus 34:25 “You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with anything leavened, or let the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover remain until the morning.
Exodus 34:26 The best of the firstfruits of your ground you shall bring to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.”
Exodus 34:27 And the Lord said to Moses, “Write these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”
Exodus 34:28 So he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights. He neither ate bread nor drank water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.
Exodus 34:29 (The Shining Face of Moses) When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand as he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God.
Exodus 34:30 Aaron and all the people of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.
Exodus 34:31 But Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses talked with them.
Exodus 34:32 Afterward all the people of Israel came near, and he commanded them all that the Lord had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.
Exodus 34:33 And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.
Exodus 34:34 Whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he would remove the veil, until he came out. And when he came out and told the people of Israel what he was commanded,
Exodus 34:35 the people of Israel would see the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face was shining. And Moses would put the veil over his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
Exodus 35:1 (Sabbath Regulations) Moses assembled all the congregation of the people of Israel and said to them, “These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do.
Exodus 35:2 Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.
Exodus 35:3 You shall kindle no fire in all your dwelling places on the Sabbath day.”
Exodus 35:4 (Contributions for the Tabernacle) Moses said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, “This is the thing that the Lord has commanded.
Exodus 35:5 Take from among you a contribution to the Lord. Whoever is of a generous heart, let him bring the Lord's contribution: gold, silver, and bronze;
Exodus 35:6 blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen; goats' hair,
Exodus 35:7 tanned rams' skins, and goatskins; acacia wood,
Exodus 35:8 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense,
Exodus 35:9 and onyx stones and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece.
Exodus 35:10 “Let every skillful craftsman among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded:
Exodus 35:11 the tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases;
Exodus 35:12 the ark with its poles, the mercy seat, and the veil of the screen;
Exodus 35:13 the table with its poles and all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence;
Exodus 35:14 the lampstand also for the light, with its utensils and its lamps, and the oil for the light;
Exodus 35:15 and the altar of incense, with its poles, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle;
Exodus 35:16 the altar of burnt offering, with its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils, the basin and its stand;
Exodus 35:17 the hangings of the court, its pillars and its bases, and the screen for the gate of the court;
Exodus 35:18 the pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the court, and their cords;
Exodus 35:19 the finely worked garments for ministering in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for their service as priests.”
Exodus 35:20 Then all the congregation of the people of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
Exodus 35:21 And they came, everyone whose heart stirred him, and everyone whose spirit moved him, and brought the Lord's contribution to be used for the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments.
Exodus 35:22 So they came, both men and women. All who were of a willing heart brought brooches and earrings and signet rings and armlets, all sorts of gold objects, every man dedicating an offering of gold to the Lord.
Exodus 35:23 And every one who possessed blue or purple or scarlet yarns or fine linen or goats' hair or tanned rams' skins or goatskins brought them.
Exodus 35:24 Everyone who could make a contribution of silver or bronze brought it as the Lord's contribution. And every one who possessed acacia wood of any use in the work brought it.
Exodus 35:25 And every skillful woman spun with her hands, and they all brought what they had spun in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen.
Exodus 35:26 All the women whose hearts stirred them to use their skill spun the goats' hair.
Exodus 35:27 And the leaders brought onyx stones and stones to be set, for the ephod and for the breastpiece,
Exodus 35:28 and spices and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.
Exodus 35:29 All the men and women, the people of Israel, whose heart moved them to bring anything for the work that the Lord had commanded by Moses to be done brought it as a freewill offering to the Lord.
Exodus 35:30 (Construction of the Tabernacle) Then Moses said to the people of Israel, “See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
Exodus 35:31 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship,
Exodus 35:32 to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze,
Exodus 35:33 in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, for work in every skilled craft.
Exodus 35:34 And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan.
Exodus 35:35 He has filled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, or by a weaver—by any sort of workman or skilled designer.
Exodus 36:1 “Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whom the Lord has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded.”
Exodus 36:2 And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whose mind the Lord had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work.
Exodus 36:3 And they received from Moses all the contribution that the people of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning,
Exodus 36:4 so that all the craftsmen who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing,
Exodus 36:5 and said to Moses, “The people bring much more than enough for doing the work that the Lord has commanded us to do.”
Exodus 36:6 So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, “Let no man or woman do anything more for the contribution for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing,
Exodus 36:7 for the material they had was sufficient to do all the work, and more.
Exodus 36:8 And all the craftsmen among the workmen made the tabernacle with ten curtains. They were made of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet yarns, with cherubim skillfully worked.
Exodus 36:9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains were the same size.
Exodus 36:10 He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.
Exodus 36:11 He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain of the first set. Likewise he made them on the edge of the outermost curtain of the second set.
Exodus 36:12 He made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was in the second set. The loops were opposite one another.
Exodus 36:13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to the other with clasps. So the tabernacle was a single whole.
Exodus 36:14 He also made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle. He made eleven curtains.
Exodus 36:15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. The eleven curtains were the same size.
Exodus 36:16 He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
Exodus 36:17 And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain of the one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the other connecting curtain.
Exodus 36:18 And he made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together that it might be a single whole.
Exodus 36:19 And he made for the tent a covering of tanned rams' skins and goatskins.
Exodus 36:20 Then he made the upright frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood.
Exodus 36:21 Ten cubits was the length of a frame, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each frame.
Exodus 36:22 Each frame had two tenons for fitting together. He did this for all the frames of the tabernacle.
Exodus 36:23 The frames for the tabernacle he made thus: twenty frames for the south side.
Exodus 36:24 And he made forty bases of silver under the twenty frames, two bases under one frame for its two tenons, and two bases under the next frame for its two tenons.
Exodus 36:25 For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty frames
Exodus 36:26 and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one frame and two bases under the next frame.
Exodus 36:27 For the rear of the tabernacle westward he made six frames.
Exodus 36:28 He made two frames for corners of the tabernacle in the rear.
Exodus 36:29 And they were separate beneath but joined at the top, at the first ring. He made two of them this way for the two corners.
Exodus 36:30 There were eight frames with their bases of silver: sixteen bases, under every frame two bases.
Exodus 36:31 He made bars of acacia wood, five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle,
Exodus 36:32 and five bars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames of the tabernacle at the rear westward.
Exodus 36:33 And he made the middle bar to run from end to end halfway up the frames.
Exodus 36:34 And he overlaid the frames with gold, and made their rings of gold for holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
Exodus 36:35 He made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen; with cherubim skillfully worked into it he made it.
Exodus 36:36 And for it he made four pillars of acacia and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold, and he cast for them four bases of silver.
Exodus 36:37 He also made a screen for the entrance of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework,
Exodus 36:38 and its five pillars with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals, and their fillets were of gold, but their five bases were of bronze.
Exodus 37:1 (Making the Ark) Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.
Exodus 37:2 And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold around it.
Exodus 37:3 And he cast for it four rings of gold for its four feet, two rings on its one side and two rings on its other side.
Exodus 37:4 And he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold
Exodus 37:5 and put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark.
Exodus 37:6 And he made a mercy seat of pure gold. Two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.
Exodus 37:7 And he made two cherubim of gold. He made them of hammered work on the two ends of the mercy seat,
Exodus 37:8 one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end. Of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim on its two ends.
Exodus 37:9 The cherubim spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim.
Exodus 37:10 (Making the Table) He also made the table of acacia wood. Two cubits was its length, a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.

Exodus 37:14 Close to the frame were the rings, as holders for the poles to carry the table.
Exodus 37:15 He made the poles of acacia wood to carry the table, and overlaid them with gold.
Exodus 37:16 And he made the vessels of pure gold that were to be on the table, its plates and dishes for incense, and its bowls and flagons with which to pour drink offerings.
Exodus 37:17 (Making the Lampstand) He also made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work. Its base, its stem, its cups, its calyxes, and its flowers were of one piece with it.
Exodus 37:18 And there were six branches going out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it;
Exodus 37:19 three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on one branch, and three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on the other branch—so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.
Exodus 37:20 And on the lampstand itself were four cups made like almond blossoms, with their calyxes and flowers,
Exodus 37:21 and a calyx of one piece with it under each pair of the six branches going out of it.
Exodus 37:22 Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole of it was a single piece of hammered work of pure gold.
Exodus 37:23 And he made its seven lamps and its tongs and its trays of pure gold.
Exodus 37:24 He made it and all its utensils out of a talent of pure gold.
Exodus 37:25 (Making the Altar of Incense) He made the altar of incense of acacia wood. Its length was a cubit, and its breadth was a cubit. It was square, and two cubits was its height. Its horns were of one piece with it.
Exodus 37:26 He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and around its sides and its horns. And he made a molding of gold around it,
Exodus 37:27 and made two rings of gold on it under its molding, on two opposite sides of it, as holders for the poles with which to carry it.
Exodus 37:28 And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

Exodus 38:5 He cast four rings on the four corners of the bronze grating as holders for the poles.
Exodus 38:6 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.
Exodus 38:7 And he put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar to carry it with them. He made it hollow, with boards.
Exodus 38:8 (Making the Bronze Basin) He made the basin of bronze and its stand of bronze, from the mirrors of the ministering women who ministered in the entrance of the tent of meeting.
Exodus 38:9 (Making the Court) And he made the court. For the south side the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits;
Exodus 38:10 their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
Exodus 38:11 And for the north side there were hangings of a hundred cubits; their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
Exodus 38:12 And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their ten pillars, and their ten bases; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

Exodus 38:19 And their pillars were four in number. Their four bases were of bronze, their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their fillets of silver.
Exodus 38:20 And all the pegs for the tabernacle and for the court all around were of bronze.
Exodus 38:21 (Materials for the Tabernacle) These are the records of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were recorded at the commandment of Moses, the responsibility of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
Exodus 38:22 Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses;
Exodus 38:23 and with him was Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and designer and embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen.
Exodus 38:24 All the gold that was used for the work, in all the construction of the sanctuary, the gold from the offering, was twenty-nine talents and 730 shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary.
Exodus 38:25 The silver from those of the congregation who were recorded was a hundred talents and 1,775 shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary:
Exodus 38:26 a beka a head (that is, half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary), for everyone who was listed in the records, from twenty years old and upward, for 603,550 men.
Exodus 38:27 The hundred talents of silver were for casting the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil; a hundred bases for the hundred talents, a talent a base.
Exodus 38:28 And of the 1,775 shekels he made hooks for the pillars and overlaid their capitals and made fillets for them.
Exodus 38:29 The bronze that was offered was seventy talents and 2,400 shekels;

Exodus 38:31 the bases around the court, and the bases of the gate of the court, all the pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs around the court.
Exodus 39:1 (Making the Priestly Garments) From the blue and purple and scarlet yarns they made finely woven garments, for ministering in the Holy Place. They made the holy garments for Aaron, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exodus 39:2 He made the ephod of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen.
Exodus 39:3 And they hammered out gold leaf, and he cut it into threads to work into the blue and purple and the scarlet yarns, and into the fine twined linen, in skilled design.
Exodus 39:4 They made for the ephod attaching shoulder pieces, joined to it at its two edges.
Exodus 39:5 And the skillfully woven band on it was of one piece with it and made like it, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exodus 39:6 They made the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold filigree, and engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel.
Exodus 39:7 And he set them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod to be stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exodus 39:8 He made the breastpiece, in skilled work, in the style of the ephod, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen.
Exodus 39:9 It was square. They made the breastpiece doubled, a span its length and a span its breadth when doubled.
Exodus 39:10 And they set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row;
Exodus 39:11 and the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;
Exodus 39:12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
Exodus 39:13 and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in settings of gold filigree.
Exodus 39:14 There were twelve stones with their names according to the names of the sons of Israel. They were like signets, each engraved with its name, for the twelve tribes.
Exodus 39:15 And they made on the breastpiece twisted chains like cords, of pure gold.
Exodus 39:16 And they made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece.
Exodus 39:17 And they put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece.
Exodus 39:18 They attached the two ends of the two cords to the two settings of filigree. Thus they attached it in front to the shoulder pieces of the ephod.
Exodus 39:19 Then they made two rings of gold, and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inside edge next to the ephod.
Exodus 39:20 And they made two rings of gold, and attached them in front to the lower part of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, at its seam above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
Exodus 39:21 And they bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, so that it should lie on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastpiece should not come loose from the ephod, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exodus 39:22 He also made the robe of the ephod woven all of blue,
Exodus 39:23 and the opening of the robe in it was like the opening in a garment, with a binding around the opening, so that it might not tear.
Exodus 39:24 On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen.
Exodus 39:25 They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe, between the pomegranates—
Exodus 39:26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate around the hem of the robe for ministering, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exodus 39:27 They also made the coats, woven of fine linen, for Aaron and his sons,
Exodus 39:28 and the turban of fine linen, and the caps of fine linen, and the linen undergarments of fine twined linen,
Exodus 39:29 and the sash of fine twined linen and of blue and purple and scarlet yarns, embroidered with needlework, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exodus 39:30 They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it an inscription, like the engraving of a signet, “Holy to the Lord.”
Exodus 39:31 And they tied to it a cord of blue to fasten it on the turban above, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exodus 39:32 Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished, and the people of Israel did according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses; so they did.
Exodus 39:33 Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its utensils, its hooks, its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases;
Exodus 39:34 the covering of tanned rams' skins and goatskins, and the veil of the screen;
Exodus 39:35 the ark of the testimony with its poles and the mercy seat;
Exodus 39:36 the table with all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence;
Exodus 39:37 the lampstand of pure gold and its lamps with the lamps set and all its utensils, and the oil for the light;
Exodus 39:38 the golden altar, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the screen for the entrance of the tent;
Exodus 39:39 the bronze altar, and its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin and its stand;
Exodus 39:40 the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases, and the screen for the gate of the court, its cords, and its pegs; and all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;
Exodus 39:41 the finely worked garments for ministering in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons for their service as priests.
Exodus 39:42 According to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the people of Israel had done all the work.
Exodus 39:43 And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it; as the Lord had commanded, so had they done it. Then Moses blessed them.
Exodus 40:1 (The Tabernacle Erected) The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 40:2 “On the first day of the first month you shall erect the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
Exodus 40:3 And you shall put in it the ark of the testimony, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.
Exodus 40:4 And you shall bring in the table and arrange it, and you shall bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps.
Exodus 40:5 And you shall put the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and set up the screen for the door of the tabernacle.
Exodus 40:6 You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,
Exodus 40:7 and place the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.
Exodus 40:8 And you shall set up the court all around, and hang up the screen for the gate of the court.
Exodus 40:9 “Then you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and consecrate it and all its furniture, so that it may become holy.
Exodus 40:10 You shall also anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, so that the altar may become most holy.
Exodus 40:11 You shall also anoint the basin and its stand, and consecrate it.
Exodus 40:12 Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting and shall wash them with water
Exodus 40:13 and put on Aaron the holy garments. And you shall anoint him and consecrate him, that he may serve me as priest.
Exodus 40:14 You shall bring his sons also and put coats on them,
Exodus 40:15 and anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall admit them to a perpetual priesthood throughout their generations.”
Exodus 40:16 This Moses did; according to all that the Lord commanded him, so he did.
Exodus 40:17 In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was erected.
Exodus 40:18 Moses erected the tabernacle. He laid its bases, and set up its frames, and put in its poles, and raised up its pillars.
Exodus 40:19 And he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent over it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exodus 40:20 He took the testimony and put it into the ark, and put the poles on the ark and set the mercy seat above on the ark.
Exodus 40:21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exodus 40:22 He put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil,
Exodus 40:23 and arranged the bread on it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exodus 40:24 He put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle,
Exodus 40:25 and set up the lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exodus 40:26 He put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil,
Exodus 40:27 and burned fragrant incense on it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exodus 40:28 He put in place the screen for the door of the tabernacle.
Exodus 40:29 And he set the altar of burnt offering at the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Exodus 40:30 He set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing,
Exodus 40:31 with which Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet.
Exodus 40:32 When they went into the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed, as the Lord commanded Moses.
Exodus 40:33 And he erected the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.
Exodus 40:34 (The Glory of the Lord) Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
Exodus 40:35 And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
Exodus 40:36 Throughout all their journeys, whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out.
Exodus 40:37 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up.
Exodus 40:38 For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.
