(1:1)
And these were the names of
the sons of Yisrael who came into Mitsrayim. Every man and his
household came with Ya’aqob:
(2)
Reuben; Shimeon; Levi; and Yahudah;
(3)
Issachar; Zebulun; and Benjamin,
(4)
Dan; and Nephtali; Gad; and Asher.
(5)
And all the souls that came out of the loins of Ya’aqob were seventy
souls, for Yoseph was already
in Mitsrayim.
(6)
And Yoseph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation.
(7)
And the sons of Yisrael were fruitful, and increased very much, and
multiplied, and became exceedingly mighty. And the land was filled
with them.
(8)
And there arose a new king over Mitsrayim, who did not know Yoseph.
(9)
And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the sons of Yisrael
are many and mightier than
we.
(10)
Come, let us deal slyly with them, lest they multiply, and it will
be when there comes a war, they join also to our enemies, and fight
against us, and get out of the land.
(11)
And they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their
burdens. And they built treasure cities for Pharaoh, Pithon and
Raamses.
(12)
But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew.
And they were grieved because of the sons of Yisrael.
(13)
And the Mitsrim made the sons of Yisrael serve with harshness.
(14)
And they made their lives bitter with hard work in mortar and in
bricks, and in all kinds of
work in the field; all their work in which they made them do
was with harshness.
(15)
And the king of Mitsrayim spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of which the
name of the one was
Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah.
(16)
And he said, When you midwife the Hebrew women, and look on the
birth stools, if it is a
son, then you shall kill him. But if it
is a daughter, then she shall
live.
(17)
But the midwives feared Elohim, and did not do as the king of
Mitsrayim commanded them, but saved alive the male children.
(18)
And the king of Mitsrayim called for the midwives and said to them,
Why have you done this thing, and have saved the male children
alive?
(19)
And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women
are not like the Mitsri women.
For they are lively, and are
delivered before the midwives come in to them.
(20)
And Elohim dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied
and became very mighty.
(21)
And it happened, because the midwives feared Elohim,
that He made them houses.
(22)
And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born
you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save
alive.

(2:1)
And a man went from the house of Levi and took a daughter of Levi
as his wife.
(2)
And the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw him, that
he was beautiful, she hid him three months.
(3)
But when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of papyrus
for him, and daubed it with bitumen and with pitch, and put the
child in it. And she laid it
in the reeds by the river's edge.
(4)
And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
(5)
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river. And her
maidens walked along by the riverside. And when she saw the ark
among the reeds, she sent her slave-girl to bring it.
(6)
And she opened
it, and she
saw the child. And behold, a boy wept. And she had pity on him, and
said, This is one of the
Hebrews' sons.
(7)
And his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call a
woman, a nurse of the Hebrew women for you, that she may nurse the
child for you?
(8)
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the girl went and called
the child's mother.
(9)
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take this child away and nurse
it for me, and I will give your wages. And the woman took the child
and nursed it.
(10)
And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and
he became her son. And she called his name Mosheh. And she said,
Because I took him out of the water.
(11)
And it happened in those days, when Mosheh was grown, he went out to
his brothers and looked upon their burdens. And he saw an Mitsri
striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.
(12)
And he looked this way and that way, and when he did not see anyone,
he killed the Mitsri and hid him in the sand.
(13)
And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews
strove together. And he said to the guilty one, Why do you strike
your neighbor?
(14)
And he said, Who made you as a man, a ruler and a judge over us? Do
you intend to kill me as you killed the Mitsri? And Mosheh feared,
and said, Surely this thing is known.
(15)
And when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to kill Mosheh. But
Mosheh fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of
Midian. And he sat down by a
well.
(16)
And the priest of Midian
had
seven daughters. And they came and drew, and filled the troughs to
water their father's flock.
(17)
And the shepherds came and drove them away. But Mosheh stood up and
helped them, and watered their flock.
(18)
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, Why have you
hurried to come today?
(19)
And they said, An Mitsri delivered us out of the hand of the
shepherds, and also drew for us and watered the flock.
(20)
And he said to his daughters, And where
is he? Why then have you left
the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.
(21)
And Mosheh was content to live with the man. And he gave Mosheh his
daughter Zipporah.
(22)
And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom. For he said, I
have been a stranger in a strange land.
(23)
And it happened after many days the king of Mitsrayim died. And the
sons of Yisrael sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and
their cry came up to Elohim because of the bondage.
(24)
And Elohim heard their groaning, and Elohim remembered His covenant
with Abraham, with Yitsak, and with Ya’aqob.
(25)
And Elohim looked upon the sons of Yisrael, and Elohim knew
them.

(3:1)
And Mosheh kept the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of
Midian. And he led the flock to the back side of the desert. And he
came to the mountain of Elohim, to Horeb.
(2)
And the Angel of
appeared to him in a flame of fire, out of the
midst of a thorn bush. And he looked. And behold! The thorn bush
burned with fire! And the thorn bush
was not burned up.
(3)
And Mosheh said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why
the thorn bush is not burned up.
(4)
And
saw that he had turned aside to see. Elohim called to him
out of the midst of the thorn bush, and said, Mosheh! Mosheh! And he
said, Here I am.
(5)
And He said, Do not come near here. Pull off your sandals from your
feet, for the place on which you stand
is holy ground.
(6)
And He said, I
am the Elohim
of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Yitsak, and
the Elohim of Ya’aqob. And Mosheh hid his face, for he was afraid to
look upon Elohim.
(7)
And
said, I have surely seen the affliction of My people who
are in Mitsrayim; I have
heard their cry because of their taskmasters; for I know their
sorrows.
(8)
And I am coming down to deliver them out of the hand of the Mitsrim,
to bring them up out of that land, to a good land, a large land, to
a land flowing with milk and
honey, to the place of the Canaanim, and the Hittim, and the Amorim,
and the Perizzim, and the Hivites and the Yebusim.
(9)
And now behold, the cry of the sons of Yisrael has come to Me. And I
have also seen the oppression
with
which the Mitsrim oppress them.
(10)
And now go, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth
My people, the sons of Yisrael, out of Mitsrayim.
(11)
And Mosheh said to Elohim, Who
am
I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the
sons of Yisrael out of Mitsrayim?
(12)
And He said, I will be with you. And this
shall be the sign to you that I
have sent you: When you have brought forth the people out of
Mitsrayim, you shall serve Elohim upon this mountain.
(13)
And Mosheh said to Elohim, Behold,
when
I come to the sons of Yisrael, and shall say to them, The Elohim of
your fathers has sent me to you, and they shall say to me, What
is His name? What shall I say
to them?
(14)
And Elohim said to Mosheh, I AM THAT I AM. And He said, So you shall
say to the sons of Yisrael, I AM has sent me to you.
(15)
And Elohim said to Mosheh again, You shall say this to the sons of
Yisrael,
the Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the
Elohim of Yitsak, and the Elohim of Ya’aqob, has sent me to you.
This is My name forever, and
this is My title from
generation to generation.
(16)
Go, and gather the elders of Yisrael and say to them,
the
Elohim of your fathers has appeared to me, the Elohim of Abraham,
Yitsak, and Ya’aqob, saying, I have surely visited you and
have seen what is done to you
in Mitsrayim.
(17)
And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of
Mitsrayim to the land of the Canaanim, and the Hittim, and the
Amorim, and the Perizzim, and the Hivites, and the Yebusim, to a
land flowing with milk and honey.
(18)
And they shall listen to your voice. And you shall come, you and the
elders of Yisrael, to the king of Mitsrayim. And you shall say to
him,
, the Elohim of the Hebrews has met with us. And now let us
go, we beseech you, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we
may sacrifice to
our Elohim.
(19)
And I am sure that the king of Mitsrayim will not let you go, no,
not by a mighty hand.
(20)
And I will stretch out My hand and smite Mitsrayim with all My
wonders which I will do in the midst of it. And after that he will
let you go.
(21)
And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Mitsrim. And
it shall be that when you go, you shall not go empty.
(22)
But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her that stays in
her house, jewels of silver and jewels of gold and clothing. And you
shall put them upon your
sons and upon your daughters. And you shall plunder the Mitsrim.

(4:1)
And Mosheh answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me
nor listen to my voice. For they will say,
has not appeared to
you.
(2)
And
said to him, What
is
this in your hand? And he said, A staff.
(3)
And He said, Throw it on the ground. And he threw it on the ground.
And it became a serpent. And Mosheh ran from it.
(4)
And
said to Mosheh, Put forth your hand and take it by the
tail. And he put forth his hand and caught it, and it became a staff
in his hand, --
(5)
so that they may believe that
, the Elohim of their fathers, the
Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Yitsak and the Elohim of Ya’aqob,
has appeared to you.
(6)
And
said to him again, Now put your hand in your bosom. And he
put his hand into his bosom. And when he took it out, behold, his
hand was as leprous as snow.
(7)
And He said, Put your hand into your bosom again. And he put his
hand into his bosom again. And he brought it out of his bosom, and
behold, it was turned again like his
other flesh.
(8)
And it will be, if they will not believe you, neither listen to the
voice of the first sign, then they will believe the voice of the
latter sign.
(9)
And also it will be, if they will not believe these two signs,
neither listen to your voice, then you shall take from the water of
the river and pour it upon
the dry land. And the water which you take out of the river shall
become blood on the dry land.
(10)
And Mosheh said to
, O my Lord, I
am not a man of words now, nor
since You have spoken to Your servant, but I
am slow of speech and of a slow
tongue.
(11)
And
said to him, Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the
dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Have not I,
?
(12)
And now go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you
shall say.
(13)
And he said, O my Lord, I pray You, send by the hand
of him whom You will send.
(14)
And the anger of
was kindled against Mosheh. And He said, Do I
not know Aaron the Levite, your brother that he can speak well? And
also, behold, he comes forth to meet you. And when he sees you, he
will be glad in his heart.
(15)
And you shall speak to him, and you shall put words in his mouth.
And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and will teach you
what you shall do.
(16)
And it will be, he shall speak for you to the people, and he shall
be for a mouth to you. And you shall be to him a Elohim.
(17)
And you shall take this rod in your hand,
with which you shall do signs.
(18)
And Mosheh went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said
to him, Please let me go and return to my brothers who
are in Mitsrayim and see if
they are still alive. And
Jethro said to Mosheh, Go in peace.
(19)
And
said to Mosheh in Midian, Go! Return to Mitsrayim, for all
the men who sought your life are dead.
(20)
And Mosheh took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and
he returned to the land of Mitsrayim. And Mosheh took the rod of
Elohim in his hand.
(21)
And
said to Mosheh, When you go to return into Mitsrayim, see
that you do all those wonders which I have put in your hand before
Pharaoh; but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the
people go.
(22)
And you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the Lord: Yisrael
is My son, My first-born.
(23)
And I say to you, Let My son go, that he may serve Me. And if you
refuse to let him go, behold, I
am
going to kill your son, your first-born.
(24)
And it happened by the way, in the inn, that
met him and sought
to kill him.
(25)
And Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her
son, and threw it at his
feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband you
are to me.
(26)
So He let him go. Then she said,
You
are a bloody husband, because of the circumcision.
(27)
And
said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Mosheh. And
he went and met him in the mount of Elohim, and kissed him.
(28)
And Mosheh told Aaron all the words of
who had sent him, and
all the signs which He had commanded him.
(29)
And Mosheh and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of
the sons of Yisrael.
(30)
And Aaron spoke all the words which
had spoken to Mosheh, and
did the signs in the sight of the people.
(31)
And the people believed. And when they heard that
had visited
the sons of Yisrael, and that He had looked upon their affliction,
then they bowed and worshiped.
![]()
(5:1)
And afterward Mosheh and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, Thus says
, the Elohim of Yisrael: Let My people go, that they may hold a
feast to Me in the wilderness.
(2)
And Pharaoh said, Who
is
, that I should obey His voice to let Yisrael go? I do not know
, neither will I let Yisrael go.
(3)
And they said, The Elohim of the Hebrews has met with us. Let us go,
we pray you, three days' journey into the desert and sacrifice to
our Elohim, lest He fall upon us with plague or with the sword.
(4)
And the king of Mitsrayim said to them, Mosheh and Aaron, Why do you
keep the people from their work? Get to your burdens!
(5)
And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now
are many, and you make them
rest from their burdens.
(6)
And Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their
officers the same day, saying,
(7)
You shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as before.
Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
(8)
And you shall lay upon them the number of bricks which they have
made before now. You shall not take away from it. For they are idle;
therefore they cry, saying, Let us go sacrifice to our Elohim.
(9)
Let more work be laid upon the men, and let them labor in it. And do
not let them regard vain words.
(10)
And the taskmasters of the people and their officers went out. And
they spoke to the people, saying, So says Pharaoh, I will not give
you straw.
(11)
Go and get straw where you can find it, yet not any of your work
shall be taken away.
(12)
So the people were scattered through all the land of Mitsrayim, to
gather stubble for straw.
(13)
And the taskmasters hurried
them,
saying, Finish your works, the thing of a day, just as when there
was straw.
(14)
And the taskmasters of the sons of Yisrael, whom Pharaoh's
taskmasters had set over them, were beaten.
And they demanded, Why have you
not completed your task in making brick, both yesterday and today,
as you did before?
(15)
And the overseers of the sons of Yisrael came and cried to Pharaoh,
saying, Why do you deal so with your servants?
(16)
There is no straw given to your servants, and they say to us, Make
bricks! And behold, your servants
are
beaten, but the fault is in your own people.
(17)
But he said, You
are idle!
You are idle! Therefore you say, Let us go, let us sacrifice to
.
(18)
Therefore go now
and work,
for there shall be no straw given to you; yet you shall deliver the
number of bricks.
(19)
And the overseers of the sons of Yisrael saw themselves in
affliction, after it was said, You shall not take away from your
bricks of your daily task.
(20)
And they met Mosheh and Aaron standing in the way, as they came
forth from Pharaoh.
(21)
And they said to them,
look upon you and judge, because you
have made our smell to stink in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes
of his servants, to put a sword in their hands to kill us.
(22)
And Mosheh returned to
, and said, Lord, why have You treated
this people ill? Why then have you sent me?
(23)
For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done evil
to this people. Neither have You delivered Your people at all.
![]()
(6:1)
And
said to Mosheh, Now you shall see what I will do to
Pharaoh. For with a strong hand he shall let them go, and with a
strong hand he shall drive them out of his land.
(2)
And Elohim spoke to Mosheh, and said to him, I am
.
(3)
And I appeared to Abraham, to Yitsak, and to Ya’aqob
as Elohim Almighty. But I was
not known to them by the
name
.
(4)
And I also established My covenant with them, to give them the land
of Canaan, the land of their travels, in which they traveled.
(5)
And I have also heard the groaning of the sons of Yisrael, those
whom the Mitsrim are keeping in bondage. And I have remembered My
covenant.
(6)
Therefore say to the sons of Yisrael, I
am
, and I will bring you
out from under the burdens of the Mitsrim, and I will rescue you out
of their bondage. And I will redeem you with a stretched-out arm,
and with great judgments.
(7)
And I will take you to Me for a people, and I will be to you a
Elohim. And you shall know that I
am
your Elohim, who brings you out from under the burdens of the
Mitsrim.
(8)
And I will bring you in to the land concerning which I lifted up My
hand to give it to Abraham, to Yitsak, and to Ya’aqob. And I will
give it to you for a heritage. I
am
!
(9)
And Mosheh said so to the sons of Yisrael. But they did not listen
to Mosheh through anguish of spirit and through cruel bondage.
(10)
And
spoke to Mosheh, saying,
(11)
Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Mitsrayim, that he let the sons of
Yisrael go out of his land.
(12)
And Mosheh spoke before
, saying, Behold, the sons of Yisrael
have not listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh hear me, since I
have lips that are not circumcised?
(13)
And
spoke to Mosheh and to Aaron, and gave them a charge to the
sons of Yisrael, and to Pharaoh king of Mitsrayim, to bring the sons
of Yisrael out of the land of Mitsrayim.
(14)
These were the heads of
their fathers' houses: The sons of Reuben the first-born of Yisrael:
Hanok and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. These
were the families of Reuben.
(15)
And the sons of Shimeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin,
and Tsohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanitess. These
were the families of Shimeon.
(16)
And these
were the names of
the sons of Levi, according to their generations: Gershon, and
Kohath, and Merari. And the years of the life of Levi
were a hundred and thirty-seven
years.
(17)
The sons of Gershon: Libni, and Shimei, by their families.
(18)
And the sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel.
And the years of the life of Kohath
were a hundred and thirty-three years.
(19)
And the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These
were the families of Levi
according to their generations.
(20)
And Amram took Jochebed, his father's sister, for his wife. And she
bore him Aaron and Mosheh. And the years of the life of Amram
were a hundred and thirty-seven
years.
(21)
And the sons of Izhar: Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
(22)
And the sons of Uzziel: Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
(23)
And Aaron took Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab, sister of
Nahshon, for his wife. And she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and
Ithamar.
(24)
And the sons of Korah
were
Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These
were the families of the
Korahites.
(25)
And Aaron's son Eleazar took his wife of the daughters of Putiel.
And she bore him Phinehas. These
were
the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families.
(26)
It was Aaron and Mosheh to
whom
said, Bring out the sons of Yisrael from the land of
Mitsrayim according to their armies.
(27)
These were the ones who
spoke to Pharaoh king of Mitsrayim to bring out the sons of Yisrael
from Mitsrayim. It was Mosheh and Aaron.
(28)
And it happened on the day
spoke to Mosheh in the land of
Mitsrayim:
(29)
spoke to Mosheh, saying, I
am
. You speak to Pharaoh king of Mitsrayim all that I say to you.
(30)
And Mosheh said before
, Behold, I
am of uncircumcised lips, and
how shall Pharaoh listen to
me?
![]()
(7:1)
And
said to Mosheh, See, I have made you a Elohim to Pharaoh.
And Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
(2)
You shall speak all that I command you. And Aaron your brother shall
speak to Pharaoh, he will send the sons of Yisrael out of his land.
(3)
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart and multiply My signs and My
wonders in the land of Mitsrayim.
(4)
But Pharaoh shall not listen to you, and I will lay My hand upon
Mitsrayim, and bring My armies, My people the sons of Yisrael, out
of the land of Mitsrayim by great judgments.
(5)
And the Mitsrim shall know that I
am
when I stretch forth My hand upon Mitsrayim, and bring out the
sons of Yisrael from among them.
(6)
And Mosheh and Aaron did as
commanded them; so they did.
(7)
And Mosheh
was eighty years
old, and Aaron was
eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
(8)
And
spoke to Mosheh and to Aaron, saying:
(9)
When Pharaoh shall speak to you saying, Give a miracle for
yourselves, you shall say to Aaron, Take your rod, and throw
it in front of Pharaoh. It
shall become a snake.
(10)
And Mosheh and Aaron went in to Pharaoh. And they did so, as
had commanded. And Aaron threw down his rod in front of Pharaoh and
in front of his servants, and it became a snake.
(11)
Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers. And they,
the magicians of Mitsrayim, did the same with their secret arts.
(12)
For each man threw down his rod, and they became snakes. But Aaron's
rod swallowed up their rods.
(13)
And He hardened Pharaoh's heart so that he did not listen to them,
as
had said.
(14)
And
said to Mosheh, Pharaoh's heart
is hardened. He refuses to let
the people go.
(15)
You go to Pharaoh in the morning. Lo, he goes out to the water. And
you shall stand by the river's brink until he comes. And you shall
take in your hand the rod which was turned to a snake.
(16)
And you shall say to him,
, the Elohim of the Hebrews has sent
me to you, saying, Let My people go so that they may serve Me in the
wilderness. And, behold, until now you would not hear.
(17)
Thus says
, In this you shall know that I
am
. Behold! I will smite
with the rod that is in my
hand upon the waters in the river, and they shall be turned to
blood.
(18)
And the fish in the river shall die, and the river shall stink. And
the Mitsrim shall hate to drink of the water of the river.
(19)
And
spoke to Mosheh, Say to Aaron, Take your rod, and stretch
out your hand upon the waters of Mitsrayim, upon their streams, upon
their canals, and upon their pools, and upon every reservoir of
their waters, that they may
become blood. And blood shall be throughout all the land of
Mitsrayim, both in wooden and in stone
vessels.
(20)
And Mosheh and Aaron did so, as
commanded. And he lifted up the
rod and struck the waters that
were
in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his
servants. And all the waters in the river were turned to blood.
(21)
And the fish in the river died; and the river stank, and the Mitsrim
could not drink of the water of the river. And there was blood
throughout all the land of Mitsrayim.
(22)
And the magicians of Mitsrayim did so with their secret arts. And
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as
had said.
(23)
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house; And he did not set his
heart to this also.
(24)
And all the Mitsrim dug all around the river for water to drink, for
they could not drink of the water of the river.
(25)
And seven days were completed after
had stricken the river.
![]()
(8:1)
And
spoke to Mosheh, Go to Pharaoh, and say to him: Thus says
, Let my people go so that they may serve Me.
(2)
And if you refuse to let
them
go, behold, I am going to
strike all your borders with
frogs.
(3)
And the river shall bring forth frogs plentifully, which shall go up
and come into your house, and into your bedroom, and upon your bed,
and into the house of your servants, and upon your people, and into
your ovens, and into your kneading troughs.
(4)
And the frogs shall come upon you, and upon your people, and upon
all your servants.
(5)
And
spoke to Mosheh, Say to Aaron: Stretch out your hand with
your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and
cause frogs to come up upon the land of Mitsrayim.
(6)
And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Mitsrayim, and
the frogs came up and covered the land of Mitsrayim.
(7)
And the magicians did so with their secret arts, and brought up
frogs upon the land of Mitsrayim.
(8)
And Pharaoh called for Mosheh and Aaron, and said, Pray to
that
He may take away the frogs from me and from my people. And I will
let the people go, so that they may sacrifice to
.
(9)
And Mosheh said to Pharaoh, Glory over me! When shall I pray for
you, and for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the
frogs from you and your houses, so
that
they may remain in the river only?
(10)
And he said, Tomorrow. And he said, It shall be according to your
word, so that you may know that
there
is none like
our Elohim.
(11)
And the frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from
your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river
only.
(12)
And Mosheh and Aaron went out from Pharaoh. And Mosheh cried to
because of the frogs which He had brought against Pharaoh.
(13)
And
did according to the word of Mosheh. And the frogs died out
of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
(14)
And they gathered them in heaps
and
heaps. And the land stank.
(15)
But Pharaoh saw that
there
was relief, and he hardened his heart, and did not listen to them,
even as
had said.
(16)
And
said to Mosheh, Say to Aaron: Stretch out your rod, and
strike the dust of the land, so that it may become lice throughout
all the land of Mitsrayim.
(17)
And they did so. For Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and
struck the dust of the earth. And it became lice in man and in
beast. All the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land
of Mitsrayim.
(18)
And the magicians did so with their secret arts to bring forth lice,
but they could not. So there were lice upon man and upon beast.
(19)
And the magicians said to Pharaoh, This
is the finger of Elohim. And
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as
had said.
(20)
And
said to Mosheh, Rise up early in the morning and stand
before Pharaoh. Lo, he comes forth to the water. And say to him,
Thus says
: Let My people go, so that they may serve Me.
(21)
And if you will not let My people go, behold, I will send swarms
of flies on you, and on your
servants, and on your people, and into your house. And the houses of
the Mitsrim shall be full of swarms
of
flies, and also the ground on which they
are.
(22)
And in that day I will cut off the land of Goshen, in which My
people live, so that no swarms
of flies
shall be there, so that you may know that I
am
in the midst of the
earth.
(23)
And I will put a dividing line between My people and your people.
This miracle shall be tomorrow.
(24)
And
did so. And teeming swarms
of flies came into the house of Pharaoh, and into his
servants' houses, and into all the land of Mitsrayim. The land was
destroyed because of the swarms.
(25)
And Pharaoh called for Mosheh and for Aaron, and said, Go sacrifice
to your Elohim in the land.
(26)
And Mosheh said, It is not right to do so, for we shall sacrifice
the abomination of the Mitsrim to
our Elohim. Lo, shall we
sacrifice the abomination of the Mitsrim before their eyes, and will
they not stone us?
(27)
We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to
our Elohim, as He shall command us.
(28)
And Pharaoh said, I will let you go so that you may sacrifice to
your Elohim in the wilderness. Only you shall not go very far
away. Pray for me.
(29)
And Mosheh said, Behold, I will go out from you, and I will pray to
that the swarms of flies
may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people,
tomorrow. But do not let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not
letting the people go to sacrifice to
.
(30)
And Mosheh went out from Pharaoh and prayed to
.
(31)
And
did according to the word of Mosheh. And He removed the
swarms from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. There
remained not one.
(32)
And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he
let the people go.
![]()
(9:1)
And
said to Mosheh, Go in to Pharaoh and tell him, Thus says
, the Elohim of the Hebrews: Let My people go so that they may
serve Me.
(2)
For if you refuse to let
them
go, and will hold them still,
(3)
behold, the hand of
is upon your cattle in the field, upon the
horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the
sheep, a very grievous plague.
(4)
And
shall separate between the cattle of Yisrael and the cattle
of Mitsrayim. And there shall nothing die of all
that belongs to the sons of
Yisrael.
(5)
And
appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow
shall do this
thing in the land.
(6)
And
did that thing on the next day, and all the cattle of
Mitsrayim died. But of the cattle of the sons of Yisrael, not one
died.
(7)
And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of
the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he
did not let the people go.
(8)
And
said to Mosheh and Aaron, Take to yourselves handfuls of
ashes of the furnace, and let Mosheh sprinkle it toward the sky in
the sight of Pharaoh.
(9)
And it shall become small dust in all the land of Mitsrayim, and
shall be a boil breaking forth
with
sores upon man and upon beast, throughout all the land of Mitsrayim.
(10)
And they took ashes of the furnace and stood before Pharaoh. And
Mosheh sprinkled it up toward the sky, and it became a boil breaking
forth with sores upon man
and upon beast.
(11)
And the magicians could not stand before Mosheh because of the
boils, for the boil was upon the priests and upon all the Mitsrim.
(12)
And
hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to
them, even as
had spoken to Mosheh.
(13)
And
said to Mosheh, Rise up early in the morning, and stand
before Pharaoh, and say to him, So says
, the Elohim of the
Hebrews, Let My people go, so that they may serve Me.
(14)
For I am going to send at
this time all My plagues upon your heart, and upon your servants,
and upon your people, so that you may know that
there is none like Me in all
the earth.
(15)
For now I will stretch out My hand, that I may strike you and your
people with plagues, and you shall be cut off from the earth.
(16)
And for this I have made you stand, to make you see My power, to
declare My name in all the land.
(17)
Do you still exalt yourself against My people, that you will not let
them go?
(18)
Behold! Tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very
grievous hail, such as has
not been in Mitsrayim since the foundation of it even until now!
(19)
And now send out, gather your cattle, and all that you have in the
field. Upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field,
and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them,
and they shall die.
(20)
He that feared the Word of
among the servants of Pharaoh made
his servants and his cattle to flee into the houses.
(21)
And he that did not regard the Word of
left his servants and
his cattle in the field.
(22)
And
said to Mosheh, Stretch forth your hand toward heaven, so
that there may be hail in all the land of Mitsrayim, upon man, and
upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of
Mitsrayim.
(23)
And Mosheh stretched forth his rod toward heavens. And
sent
thunder and hail, and the fire came down to the ground. And
rained hail upon the land of Mitsrayim.
(24)
And there was hail, and fire
mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it
in all the land of Mitsrayim since it became a nation.
(25)
And the hail struck throughout all the land of Mitsrayim all that
was in the field, both man and
beast. And the hail struck every herb of the field, and broke every
tree of the field.
(26)
Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Yisrael
were, was there no hail.
(27)
And Pharaoh sent and called for Mosheh and Aaron, and said to them,
I have sinned this time.
is righteous, and I and
my people are wicked.
(28)
Pray to
,
for it is
enough. Let there be no mighty thunderings and hail. And I will let
you go, and you shall stay no longer.
(29)
And Mosheh said to him, as soon as I go out of the city, I will
spread abroad my hands to
. The thunder shall stop, and the hail
will not be any more, so that you may know that the earth is
's.
(30)
But as for you and your
servants, I know that you will not yet fear
Elohim.
(31)
And the flax and the barley
were
stricken, for the barley was in the head, and the flax was in bud.
(32)
But the wheat and the rye were not stricken, for they had not grown
up.
(33)
And Mosheh went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his
hands to
. And the thunder and hail stopped, and the rain was
not poured upon the earth.
(34)
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had
ceased, he sinned still more and hardened his heart, he and his
servants.
(35)
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the sons
of Yisrael go, even as
had spoken by Mosheh.
![]()
(10:1)
And
said to Mosheh, Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his
heart and the heart of his servants, so that I might show these My
signs before him,
(2)
and so that you may tell in the ears of your son, and of your son's
sons, what things I have worked in Mitsrayim, and My signs which I
have done among them, so that you may know that I
am
.
(3)
And Mosheh and Aaron came in to Pharaoh and said to him, So says
, the Elohim of the Hebrews, How long will you refuse to humble
yourself before Me? Let My people go, so that they may serve Me.
(4)
For if you refuse to let My people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring
the locusts into your coast.
(5)
And they shall cover the face of the land, so that one cannot be
able to see the earth. And they shall eat the rest of that which has
escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every
tree which grows for you out of the field.
(6)
And they shall fill your houses, and the houses of all your
servants, and the houses of all the Mitsrim, which neither your
fathers, nor your fathers' fathers have seen, since the day they
were upon the earth until this day. And he turned himself and went
out from Pharaoh.
(7)
And Pharaoh's servants said to him, How long shall this man be a
snare to us? Let the men go so that they may serve
their
Elohim. Do you not yet know that Mitsrayim is destroyed?
(8)
And Mosheh and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to
them, Go! Serve
your Elohim. Who
are the ones that shall go?
(9)
And Mosheh said, We will go with our young and with our old, with
our sons and with our daughters. We will go with our flocks and with
our herds. For we must hold
a feast to
.
(10)
And he said to them, May
be so with you, as I send you and your
little ones away. Watch out, for evil
is before you.
(11)
Not so! You men go now and serve
, for it is you who desired it.
And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
(12)
And
said to Mosheh, Stretch out your hand over the land of
Mitsrayim for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of
Mitsrayim and eat every herb of the land, all that the hail has
left.
(13)
And Mosheh stretched forth his rod over the land of Mitsrayim, and
brought an east wind upon the land all that day and all the
night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
(14)
And the locusts went up over all the land of Mitsrayim and rested in
all the coasts of Mitsrayim, very numerous. Before them there were
no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
(15)
For they covered the face of the whole earth so that the land was
darkened. And they ate every herb of the land and all the fruit of
the trees which the hail had left. And there did not remain any
green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all
the land of Mitsrayim.
(16)
Then Pharaoh called for Mosheh and Aaron in haste. And he said, I
have sinned against
your Elohim, and against you.
(17)
And now please, forgive my sin only this once, and pray to
your
Elohim, that He may take away from me this death only.
(18)
And he went out from Pharaoh, and prayed
to
.
(19)
And
turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the
locusts and threw them into the Red Sea. There did not remain one
locust in all the coasts of Mitsrayim.
(20)
But
hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the sons of
Yisrael go.
(21)
And
said to Mosheh, Stretch out your hand toward the heavens,
that there may be darkness over the land of Mitsrayim, so that one
may even feel the darkness.
(22)
And Mosheh stretched forth his hand toward heaven. And there was a
thick darkness in all the land of Mitsrayim three days.
(23)
They did not see one another, nor did any rise from his place,
for three days. But all the
sons of Yisrael had light in their dwellings.
(24)
And Pharaoh called to Mosheh, and said, You go serve
. Only let
your flocks and your herds be left. Let your little ones also go
with you.
(25)
And Mosheh said, You must give us also sacrifices and burnt
offerings, so that we may sacrifice to
our Elohim.
(26)
Our cattle also shall go with us. There shall not be a hoof left
behind. For we must take from them to serve
our Elohim. And we
do not know with what we
must serve
until we come there.
(27)
But
hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
(28)
And Pharaoh said to him, Go away from me! Take heed to yourself; see
my face no more. For in the day you see my face you shall die.
(29)
And Mosheh said, You have spoken well. I will never see your face
again.
![]()
(11:1)
And
said to Mosheh, I will still bring one plague yet on
Pharaoh and on Mitsrayim. Afterward he will let you go from here.
When he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out from here
altogether.
(2)
Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man ask from his
neighbor, and every woman from her neighbor, articles of silver and
jewels of gold.
(3)
And
gave the people favor in the sight of the Mitsrim. And the
man Mosheh was very great in
the land of Mitsrayim, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in
the sight of the people.
(4)
And Mosheh said, Thus says
: About midnight I will go out into
the midst of Mitsrayim.
(5)
And all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim shall die, from the
first-born of Pharaoh that sits upon his throne, even to the
first-born of the slave-girl that
is
behind the mill; also the first-born of beasts.
(6)
And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Mitsrayim,
such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
(7)
But against any of the sons of Yisrael not even a dog shall move his
tongue, against man or beast, so that you may know that
puts a
difference between the
Mitsrim and Yisrael.
(8)
And all these, your servants, shall come down to me and bow
themselves down to me, saying, You and all the people that follow
you get out. And after that I will go out. And he went out from
Pharaoh in a great anger.
(9)
And
said to Mosheh, Pharaoh shall not listen to you, so that My
wonders may be multiplied in the land of Mitsrayim.
(10)
And Mosheh and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh. And
hardened Pharaoh's heart so that he would not let the sons of
Yisrael go out of his land.
![]()
(12:1)
And
spoke to Mosheh and Aaron in the land of Mitsrayim, saying,
(2)
This month
shall be to you
the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to
you.
(3)
Speak to all the congregation of Yisrael, saying, In the tenth of
this month they shall take to them each man a lamb for a father's
house, a lamb for a house.
(4)
And if the household is too little for the lamb, let him and his
neighbor next to his house take according to the number of the
souls, each one, according to the eating of his mouth, you shall
count concerning the lamb.
(5)
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You
shall take from the sheep or from the goats.
(6)
And you shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month.
And the whole assembly of the congregation of Yisrael shall kill it
in the evening.
(7)
And they shall take
some of
the blood and strike on the two side posts and upon the upper door
post of the houses in which
they shall eat it.
(8)
And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and
unleavened bread. They shall
eat it with bitter herbs.
(9)
Do not eat of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted
with fire, its head with its
legs, and with its inward parts.
(10)
And you shall not let any of it remain until the morning. And that
which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.
(11)
And you shall eat of it this way,
with
your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your
hand. And you shall eat it in a hurry. It
is
's passover.
(12)
For I will pass through the land of Mitsrayim this night, and will
smite all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both man and
beast. And I will execute judgments against all the gods of
Mitsrayim. I am
.
(13)
And the blood shall be a sign to you upon the houses where you
are. And when I see the blood,
I will pass over you. And the plague shall not be upon you for a
destruction when I smite in the land of Mitsrayim.
(14)
And this day shall be a memorial to you. And you shall keep it as a
feast to
throughout your generations. You shall keep it
as a feast by a law forever.
(15)
You shall eat unleavened
bread
seven days; even the first day you shall put away leaven out of your
houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the
seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Yisrael.
(16)
And on the first day
shall be
a holy gathering, and in the seventh day there shall be a holy
gathering for you. No manner of work shall be done in them, except
that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.
(17)
And you shall keep the
Feast of
Unleavened Bread. For in
this same day I have brought your armies out of the land of
Mitsrayim. Therefore you shall keep this day in your generations by
a law forever.
(18)
In the first
month, on the
fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened
bread, until the twenty-first
day of the month at evening.
(19)
Seven days there shall be no leaven found in your houses. For
whoever eats that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off
from the congregation of Yisrael, among the aliens and among the
natives of the land.
(20)
You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your dwelling-places you
shall eat unleavened bread.
(21)
Then Mosheh called for all the elders of Yisrael and said to them,
Draw out and take a lamb for yourselves according to your families,
and kill the passover.
(22)
And you shall take a bunch of hyssop and dip in the blood in the
bowl, and strike the lintel and the doorposts with the blood in the
bowl. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until
the morning.
(23)
For
will pass through to strike the Mitsrim. And when He sees
the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts,
will pass
over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come into your
houses to strike you.
(24)
And you shall observe this thing for a law to you and to your sons
forever.
(25)
And it shall be, when you have come to the land which
will give
you, according as He has promised, that you shall keep this service.
(26)
And it will be, when your sons shall say to you, What is this
service to you?
(27)
Then you shall say, It
is
the sacrifice of
's passover, who passed over the houses of the
sons of Yisrael in Mitsrayim, when He struck the Mitsrim and
delivered our houses. And the people bowed and worshiped.
(28)
And the sons of Yisrael went away and did as
had commanded
Mosheh and Aaron; so they did.
(29)
And it happened at midnight
struck all the first-born in the
land of Mitsrayim, from the first-born of Pharaoh that sat on his
throne to the first-born of the captive that
was in the prison; also all the
first-born of cattle.
(30)
And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants, and all
the Mitsrim. And there was a great cry in Mitsrayim, for
there was not a house where
there was not one dead.
(31)
And he called for Mosheh and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up! Get
away from my people, both you and the sons of Yisrael! And go serve
, as you have said.
(32)
Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go. And
bless me also.
(33)
And the Mitsrim were urging the people, that they might send them
out of the land in a hurry. For they said, We
are all dead.
(34)
And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their
kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their
shoulders.
(35)
And the sons of Yisrael did according to the word of Mosheh. And
they asked articles of silver, and articles of gold, and clothing
from the Mitsrim.
(36)
And
gave the people favor in the sight of the Mitsrim, and they
granted their request, and they plundered the Mitsrim.
(37)
And the sons of Yisrael journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, the men
being about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from little
ones.
(38)
And also a mixed multitude went up with them, and flocks, and herds,
very much cattle.
(39)
And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought out
of Mitsrayim, for it was not leavened, because they were thrust out
of Mitsrayim and could not stay, neither had they prepared any food
for a journey for themselves.
(40)
And the time that the sons of Yisrael lived in Mitsrayim
was four hundred and thirty
years.
(41)
And it happened at the end of the four hundred and thirty years,
even it was on this very day, all the armies of
went out from
the land of Mitsrayim.
(42)
It is a night to be much
kept to
for bringing them out from the land of Mitsrayim. This
is that night of
to be kept by all the sons of
Yisrael in their generations.
(43)
And
said to Mosheh and Aaron, This
is the ordinance of the Pesach.
No stranger shall eat of it.
(44)
But every man's servant that is bought for silver, when you have
circumcised him, then he shall eat of it.
(45)
A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it.
(46)
It shall be eaten in one house. You shall not carry any of the flesh
out of the house. Neither shall you break a bone of it.
(47)
All the congregation of Yisrael shall keep it.
(48)
And when a stranger shall stay with you, and desires to keep the
Pesach to
, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him
come near and keep it. And he shall be as one that is born in the
land. And no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
(49)
There shall be one law to the native, and to the visitor that stays
among you.
(50)
So all the sons of Yisrael did. Even as
commanded Mosheh and
Aaron, so they did.
(51)
And it happened the very same day,
that
brought the sons of Yisrael out of the land of Mitsrayim by
their armies.
![]()
(13:1)
And
spoke to Mosheh, saying,
(2)
Sanctify all the first-born to Me, whatever opens the womb among the
sons of Yisrael, of man and of beast. It
is Mine.
(3)
And Mosheh said to the people, Remember this day
in which you came out of
Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage. For
brought you out
from this place by the strength of His hand. There shall be no
leaven eaten.
(4)
You are going out this day in the month Abib.
(5)
And it shall be when
shall bring you into the land of the
Canaanim, and the Hittim, and the Amorim, and the Hivites, and the
Yebusim, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing
with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.
(6)
You shall eat unleavened
bread
seven days, and in the seventh day
shall be a feast to
.
(7)
Unleavened
bread shall be
eaten seven days. And there shall be no leavened
bread seen with you, nor shall
there be leaven seen with you in all your borders.
(8)
And you shall tell your son in that day, saying, This is because of
what
did for me when I came out from Mitsrayim.
(9)
And it shall be a sign to you upon your hand, and for a memorial
between your eyes, that
's Law may be in your mouth. For the
Lord has brought you out of Mitsrayim with a strong hand.
(10)
You shall therefore keep this law in its season from year to year.
(11)
And it will be, when
shall bring you into the land of the
Canaanim, as He swore to you and to your fathers, and shall give it
to you,
(12)
you shall set apart to
every one that opens the womb, and every
first-born that comes of any animal which you have; the males
shall be
's.
(13)
And every first-born of an ass you shall redeem with a lamb. And if
you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. And all the
first-born of man among your sons you shall redeem.
(14)
And it shall be when your sons asks you in time to come, saying,
What is this? you shall say
to him,
brought us out of Mitsrayim by the strength of
His hand, from the house of
bondage.
(15)
And it happened when Pharaoh hardened
himself against sending us,
killed all the
first-born of the land of Mitsrayim, both the first-born of man, and
the first-born of animals. Therefore I sacrifice to
all that
opens the womb, that are males. But all the first-born of my sons I
redeem.
(16)
And it shall be for a token upon your hand, and for frontlets
between your eyes. For
brought us out from Mitsrayim by
strength of His hand.
(17)
And it happened, when Pharaoh had let the people go, Elohim did not
lead them by the way of the
land of the Pelishtim although that
was
near. For Elohim said, Lest the people repent when they see war, and
they return to Mitsrayim.
(18)
But Elohim led the people around,
by
the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the sons of Yisrael
went up armed out of the land of Mitsrayim.
(19)
And Mosheh took the bones of Yoseph with him. For he had strictly
sworn the sons of Yisrael, saying, Elohim will surely visit you, and
you shall carry my bones away from here with you.
(20)
And they moved from Succoth and camped in Etham, in the edge of the
wilderness.
(21)
And
went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead
them the right away, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them
light, to go by day and night.
(22)
He did not take away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar
of fire by night, from
before the people.

(14:1)
And
spoke to Mosheh, saying,
(2)
Speak to the sons of Yisrael that they turn and camp before
Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal-zephon.
You shall camp before it, by
the sea.
(3)
For Pharaoh will say of the sons of Yisrael, They
are tangled in the land; the
wilderness has shut them in.
(4)
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he will follow them. And I
will be honored upon Pharaoh, and upon all his army, so that the
Mitsrim may know that I am
. And they did so.
(5)
And the king of Mitsrayim was told that the people fled. And the
heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people.
And they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Yisrael go
from serving us?
(6)
And he made his chariot ready, and took his people with him.
(7)
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of
Mitsrayim, and captains over every one of them.
(8)
And
hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Mitsrayim. And he
pursued the sons of Yisrael, and the sons of Yisrael went out with a
high hand.
(9)
But the Mitsrim pursued them, all the horses
and chariots of Pharaoh, and
his horsemen, and his army. And they overtook them camping by the
sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
(10)
And Pharaoh drew near, the sons of Yisrael lifted up their eyes.
And, behold, the Mitsrim marched after them. And they were very
afraid. And the sons of Yisrael cried out to
.
(11)
And they said to Mosheh, Have you taken us away to die in the
wilderness because there were
no graves in Mitsrayim? Why have you dealt this way with us, to
carry us forth out of Mitsrayim?
(12)
Did we not tell you this word in Mitsrayim, saying, Let us alone, so
that we may serve the Mitsrim? For it would have been better for us
to serve the Mitsrim, than that we should die in the wilderness.
(13)
And Mosheh said to the people, Do not fear. Stand still and see the
salvation of
, which He will prepare for you this day. For the
Mitsrim whom you have seen today, you shall never see them anymore.
(14)
shall fight for you, and you shall be silent.
(15)
And
said to Mosheh, Why do you cry to Me? Speak to the sons of
Yisrael, that they go forward.
(16)
But lift up your rod and stretch out your hand over the sea, and
divide it. And the sons of Yisrael shall go on dry ground through
the midst of the sea.
(17)
And behold! I
am about to
harden the hearts of the Mitsrim, and they shall follow them. And I
will get honor for Me upon Pharaoh, and upon all his army, upon his
chariots and upon his horsemen.
(18)
And the Mitsrim shall know that I
am
when I have gotten honor for Me upon Pharaoh, upon his
chariots, and upon his horsemen.
(19)
And the Angel of Elohim, the one who went before the camp of
Yisrael, moved. And he went to the rear of them. And the pillar of
the cloud went from in front of their face and it stood behind them.
(20)
And it came between the camp of the Mitsrim and the camp of Yisrael.
And it was a cloudy and dark night, but it lit up the night, so that
the one did not come near the other all night.
(21)
And Mosheh stretched out his hand over the sea. And
caused the
sea to recede by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea
dry land, and the waters were divided.
(22)
And the sons of Yisrael went into the midst of the sea upon the dry
ground. And the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and
on their left.
(23)
And the Mitsrim pursued and went after them to the middle of the
sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
(24)
And in the morning watch it happened that
looked to the army of
the Mitsrim through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and
troubled the army of the Mitsrim.
(25)
And He took off their chariot wheels, and made them go heavily, so
that the Mitsrim said, Let us flee from the face of Yisrael, for
fights for them against the Mitsrim.
(26)
And
said to Mosheh, Stretch out your hand over the sea, so that
the waters may come again upon the Mitsrim, upon their chariots, and
upon their horsemen.
(27)
And Mosheh stretched forth his hand over the sea. And the sea
returned to its strength when the morning appeared. And the Mitsrim
fled against it. And
overthrew the Mitsrim in the middle of the
sea.
(28)
And the waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen,
all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. There did
not remain so much as one of them.
(29)
But the sons of Yisrael walked upon dry land in the middle of the
sea. And the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on
their left.
(30)
So
saved Yisrael that day out of the hand of the Mitsrim. And
Yisrael saw the Mitsrim dead upon the seashore.
(31)
And Yisrael saw that great work which
did upon the Mitsrim. And
the people feared
, and believed
and His servant Mosheh.
![]()
(15:1)
Then the sons of Mosheh and Yisrael sang this song to
, and
spoke, saying, I will sing to
, for He has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider He has thrown into the sea.
(2)
is my strength and
song, and He has become my salvation. He is my Elohim, and I will
glorify Him, my father's Elohim, and I will exalt Him.
(3)
is a Man of war;
is His name.
(4)
Pharaoh's chariots and his army He has thrown into the sea; his
chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.
(5)
The depths have covered them; they sank into the bottom like a
stone.
(6)
Your right hand, O
, has become glorious in power. Your right
hand, O
, has dashed the enemy in pieces.
(7)
And in the greatness of Your excellency You have overthrown them
that rose up against You. You sent forth Your wrath, consuming them
like stubble.
(8)
And with the blast of Your nostrils the waters were gathered
together; the floods stood upright like a heap; the depths were
curdled in the heart of the sea.
(9)
The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the
spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them, I will draw my sword,
my hand shall destroy them.
(10)
You blew with Your wind; the sea covered them. They sank like lead
in the mighty waters.
(11)
Who is like You, O
,
among the gods? Who is like
You, glorious in holiness, fearful
in
praises, doing wonders?
(12)
You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them.
(13)
You in Your mercy have led forth the people
which You have redeemed. You
have guided them in Your strength to Your holy habitation.
(14)
The people shall hear, being afraid. Sorrow shall take hold on the
people of Philistia.
(15)
Then the princes of Edom
were
terrified. Trembling seized upon the mighty men of Moab. All the
people of Canaan shall melt away.
(16)
Fear and dread shall fall upon them. By the greatness of Your arm
they shall be still as a stone, until Your people pass over, O
;
until the people whom
You have purchased pass over.
(17)
You shall bring them and plant them in the mountain of Your
inheritance, the place, O
, You have made for You to dwell in;
the Sanctuary, O
, which
Your hands have established.
(18)
shall reign forever and ever.
(19)
For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his
horsemen into the sea, and
brought again the waters of the sea
upon them. But the sons of Yisrael went on dry land in the middle of
the sea.
(20)
And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in
her hand. And all the women went out after her with timbrels and
with dances.
(21)
And Miriam answered them, Sing to
, for He has triumphed
gloriously. The horse and his rider He has thrown into the sea.
(22)
And Mosheh brought Yisrael from the Red Sea, and they went out into
the wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness,
and found no water.
(23)
And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of
Marah, because it was
bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah.
(24)
And the people murmured against Mosheh, saying, What shall we drink?
(25)
And he cried to
. And
showed him a tree. And when he had
cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a
decree and a law for them, and there He tested them.
(26)
And he said, If you will carefully listen to the voice of
your
Elohim, and will do that which is right in His sight, and will give
ear to His commandments, and keep all His Laws, I will put none of
these diseases upon you, which I have brought upon the Mitsrim; for
I am
who heals you.
(27)
And they came to Elim, where
there were
twelve wells of water, and seventy palm trees. And they camped there
by the waters.
![]()
(16:1)
And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of
the sons of Yisrael came into the wilderness of Sin, which
is between Elim and Sinai, on
the fifteenth day of the second month
after their departing out of the land of Mitsrayim.
(2)
And the whole congregation of the sons of Yisrael murmured against
Mosheh and Aaron in the wilderness.
(3)
And the sons of Yisrael said to them, O that we had died by the hand
of
in the land of Mitsrayim, when we sat by the flesh-pots,
when we ate bread to the full! For you have brought us forth into
this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
(4)
Then
said to Mosheh, Behold, I will rain bread from the heavens
for you. And the people shall go out and gather a certain amount
every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in My Law or
not.
(5)
And on the sixth day it shall happen, they shall prepare what they
bring in. And it shall be twice as much as they gather day by day.
(6)
And Mosheh and Aaron said to all the sons of Yisrael, At evening,
then you shall know that
has brought you out from the land of
Mitsrayim.
(7)
And in the morning, then you shall see the glory of
. For He
hears your murmurings against
. And what
are we, that you murmur against
us?
(8)
And Mosheh said, You will see when
shall give you flesh to eat
in the evening and bread to the full in the morning, when
hears
your murmurings which you murmur against Him. And what are we? Your
murmurings are not against
us, but against
.
(9)
And Mosheh spoke to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the sons
of Yisrael, Come near before
. For He has heard your murmurings.
(10)
And it happened as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the sons
of Yisrael, they turned toward the wilderness. And behold! The glory
of
appeared in the cloud!
(11)
And the Lord spoke to Mosheh, saying,
(12)
I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Yisrael. Speak to them,
saying, You shall eat flesh at evening, and in the morning you shall
be filled with bread. And
you shall know that I am
your Elohim.
(13)
And it happened at evening, the quails came up and covered the camp.
And in the morning the dew lay all around the host.
(14)
And when the layer of dew had gone up, behold,
there was a small round thing
upon the face of the wilderness, small as the hoar-frost upon the
ground.
(15)
And when the sons of Yisrael saw, they said each one to his brother,
What is that? For they did
not know what it was. And
Mosheh said to them, This is
the bread which
has given you to eat.
(16)
This is the thing which
has commanded: Each man gather of it according to his eating, an
omer for a head, according to the number of your souls. Each one
shall take for those who are
in his camp.
(17)
And the sons of Yisrael did so, and gathered, some more, and some
less.
(18)
And when they measured with an omer, he that gathered much had
nothing over, and he that gathered little lacked nothing. They
gathered each one according to his eating.
(19)
And Mosheh said, Let no man leave of it until the morning.
(20)
But they did not listen to Mosheh, but some of them left of it until
the morning. And it became rotten
with
maggots, and stank. And Mosheh was angry with them.
(21)
And they gathered it every morning, each man according to his
eating. And when the sun became hot, it melted.
(22)
And it happened, on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread,
two omers for one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and
told Mosheh.
(23)
And he said to them, This
is that
which
has said, Tomorrow is the rest of the holy sabbath to
. Bake what you will bake
today,
and boil what you will boil. And that which remains over, lay up for
you to be kept until the morning.
(24)
And they laid it up until the morning, as Mosheh said. And it did
not stink, neither was there any worm in it.
(25)
And Mosheh said, Eat that today. For today
is a sabbath to
. Today you
shall not find it in the field.
(26)
Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the sabbath,
in it there shall be none.
(27)
And it happened
some of the
people went out on the seventh day in order to gather. And they did
not find any.
(28)
And
said to Mosheh, How long do you refuse to keep My
commandments and My Laws?
(29)
See, because
has given you the sabbath, therefore He gives you
the bread of two days on the sixth day. Each one stay in his place.
Let not any one go out of his place on the seventh day.
(30)
So the people rested on the seventh day.
(31)
And the house of Yisrael called the name of it Manna. And it
was like coriander seed, white.
And the taste of it was like
wafers with honey.
(32)
And Mosheh said, This
is the
thing which
has commanded: Fill an omer of it to be kept for
your generations, so that you may see the bread with which I have
fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of
Mitsrayim.
(33)
And Mosheh said to Aaron, Take a pot and put an omer full of manna
in it, and lay it up before
, to be kept for your generations.
(34)
As
commanded Mosheh, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony,
to be kept.
(35)
And the sons of Yisrael ate manna forty years, until they came to a
land in which people lived. They ate manna until they came into the
borders of the land of Canaan.
(36)
And an omer
is the tenth
part of an ephah.
![]()
(17:1)
And all the congregation of the sons of Yisrael journeyed from the
wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the command of
the Lord, and pitched in Rephidim. And
there was no water for the people to drink.
(2)
And the people wrangled with Mosheh and said, Give us water that we
may drink. And Mosheh said to them, Why do you wrangle with me? Why
do you tempt
?
(3)
And the people thirsted there for water. And the people murmured
against Mosheh and said, Why
is
this, that You brought us up
out of Mitsrayim, to kill us and our sons and our cattle with
thirst?
(4)
And Mosheh cried to
, saying, What shall I do to this people?
They are almost ready to stone me.
(5)
And
said to Mosheh, Go on in front of the people, and take with
you the elders of Yisrael. And take your rod with which you struck
the river, in your hand, and go.
(6)
Behold, I will stand before you there upon the rock in Horeb. And
you shall smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, so
that the people may drink. And Mosheh did so in the sight of the
elders of Yisrael.
(7)
And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of
the wrangling of the sons of Yisrael, and because they tempted
,
saying, Is
among us or not?
(8)
Then Amalek came and fought with Yisrael in Rephidim.
(9)
And Mosheh said to Yahushu`a, Choose us out men, and go out to fight
with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the
rod of Elohim in my hand.
(10)
And Yahushu`a did as Mosheh had said to him, and fought with Amalek.
And Mosheh, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
(11)
And it happened when Mosheh held up his hand, Yisrael prevailed. And
when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
(12)
But Mosheh' hands
became
heavy. And they took a stone and put
it
under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur held up his hands,
the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. And his
hands were steady until the going of the sun.
(13)
And Yahushu`a defeated Amalek and his people by the edge of the
sword.
(14)
And
said to Mosheh, Write this, a memorial in a book, and set
it in the ears of Yahushu`a,
that I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under
heavens.
(15)
And Mosheh built an altar, and called the name of it
My Banner.
(16)
And he said, A hand
is on
the throne of
; war is to
with Amalek from generation to
generation.

(18:1)
When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Mosheh' father-in-law, heard of
all that Elohim had done for Mosheh and for Yisrael his people, that
had brought Yisrael out of Mitsrayim,
(2)
then Jethro, Mosheh' father-in-law, took Zipporah, Mosheh' wife,
after he had sent her back,
(3)
and her two sons, of which the name of the one
was Gershom
(for
he said, I have been an alien in a strange land),
(4)
and the name of the other
was
Eliezer
(for
the Elohim of my father, my help, delivered me from the sword of
Pharaoh.)
(5)
And Jethro, Mosheh' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife
to Mosheh in the wilderness, where he camped at the mount of Elohim.
(6)
And he said to Mosheh, I, your father-in-law Jethro, have come to
you, and your wife and her two sons with her.
(7)
And Mosheh went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed down to
him, and kissed him. And they asked each other of
their welfare. And they came
into the tent.
(8)
And Mosheh told his father-in-law all that
had done to Pharaoh
and the Mitsrim for Yisrael's sake, all the travail that had come
upon them by the way, and how
delivered them.
(9)
And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which
had done to
Yisrael, whom He had delivered out of the hand of the Mitsrim.
(10)
And Jethro said, Blessed
be
, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Mitsrim and out
of the hand of Pharaoh, and who has delivered the people from under
the hand of the Mitsrim.
(11)
Now I know that
is
greater than all gods; for in the thing in which they were proved
against them.
(12)
And Jethro, Mosheh' father-in-law, took a burnt offering and
sacrifices for Elohim. And Aaron came, and all the elders of
Yisrael, to eat bread with Mosheh' father-in-law before Elohim.
(13)
And on the next day it happened that Mosheh sat to judge the people.
And the people stood by Mosheh from the morning to the evening.
(14)
And when Mosheh' father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he
said, What is this thing
which you do to the people? Why do you sit alone by yourself, and
all the people stand by you from morning to evening?
(15)
And Mosheh said to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me
to inquire of Elohim.
(16)
When they have a matter, they come to me. And I judge between one
and another, and I make known the statutes of Elohim and His Laws.
(17)
And Mosheh' father-in-law said to him, The thing that you do
is not good.
(18)
You will surely wear away, both you and this people that
is with you. For this thing
is too heavy for you; you are
not able to perform it alone.
(19)
Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and Elohim will be
with you. You be for the people toward Elohim, that you may bring
the causes to Elohim.
(20)
And you shall teach them ordinances and laws, and shall make them
know the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must
do.
(21)
And you shall look out of all the people able men, such as fear
Elohim, men of truth, hating unjust gain. And place
such over them to be rulers of
thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of
tens.
(22)
And let them judge the people at all times. And it shall be, every
great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they
shall judge. And make it easier for yourself, and they shall bear
with you.
(23)
If you will do this thing, and Elohim command you, then you shall be
able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in
peace.
(24)
And Mosheh listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all
that he had said.
(25)
And Mosheh chose able men out of all Yisrael, and made them heads
over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of
fifties, and rulers of tens.
(26)
And they judged the people at all times. The hard causes they
brought to Mosheh, but every small matter they judged themselves.
(27)
And Mosheh let his father-in-law depart. And he went his way into
his own land.

(19:1)
In the third month when the sons of Yisrael had gone forth out of
the land of Mitsrayim, on this day they came
to the wilderness of Sinai.
(2)
And they journeyed from Rephidim, and came
to the desert of Sinai, and had
pitched in the wilderness. And Yisrael camped there in front of the
mount.
(3)
And Mosheh went up to Elohim, and
called to him out of the
mountain, saying, You shall say to the house of Ya’aqob, and tell
the sons of Yisrael:
(4)
You have seen what I did to the Mitsrim, and I bore you on eagles'
wings and brought you to Myself.
(5)
And now if you will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then
you shall be a peculiar treasure to Me above all the nations; for
all the earth is Mine.
(6)
And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These
are the words which you
shall speak to the sons of Yisrael.
(7)
And Mosheh came and called for the elders of the people, and laid
before their faces all these words which
commanded him.
(8)
And all the people answered together and said, All that
has
spoken we will do. And Mosheh returned the words of the people to
.
(9)
And
said to Mosheh, Lo, I come to you in a thick cloud, that
the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever.
And Mosheh told the words of the people to
.
(10)
And
said to Mosheh, Go to the people and sanctify them today
and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes.
(11)
And be ready for the third day. For the third day
will come
down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai.
(12)
And you shall set bounds to the people round about, saying, Take
heed to yourselves. Do not go up into the mountain, or touch the
border of it. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to
death.
(13)
There shall not be a hand to touch it, but that he shall surely be
stoned or shot through; whether beast or man, it shall not live.
When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain.
(14)
And Mosheh went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified
the people. And they washed their clothes.
(15)
And he said to the people, Be ready for the third day. Do not
approach a woman.
(16)
And it happened on the third day in the morning, that there
were thunders and lightnings,
and a thick cloud upon the mountain. And the voice of the trumpet
was exceedingly loud, so that all the people in the camp trembled.
(17)
And Mosheh brought the people out of the camp to meet with Elohim.
And they stood at the lower part of the mountain.
(18)
And Mount Sinai was smoking, all of it, because
came down upon
it in fire. And the smoke of it went up like the smoke of a furnace,
and the whole mountain quaked greatly.
(19)
And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and became very
strong, Mosheh spoke, and Elohim answered him by a voice.
(20)
And
came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And
called Mosheh to the top of the mountain, and Mosheh went up.
(21)
And
said to Mosheh, Go down. Command the people, lest they
break through to
to gaze, and many of them perish.
(22)
And let the priests also, who come near to
, sanctify
themselves, lest
break forth upon them.
(23)
And Mosheh said to
, The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai.
For You commanded us, saying, Set bounds around the mountain, and
sanctify it.
(24)
And
said to him, Away! You go down, and you shall come up, you
and Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the people break
through to come up to
, lest He break forth upon them.
(25)
And Mosheh went down to the people, and spoke to them.
![]()
(20:1)
And Elohim spoke all these words, saying,
(2)
I am
your Elohim, who
has brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of
bondage.
(3)
You shall have no other gods before Me.
(4)
You shall not make to yourselves any graven image, or any likeness
of anything that
is in the heavens above, or
that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the
water under the earth.
(5)
You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them. For I
your Elohim am a jealous
Elohim, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the
third and fourth generation
of those that hate me,
(6)
and showing mercy to thousands of those that love Me and keep My
commandments.
(7)
You shall not take the name of
your Elohim in vain. For
will not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain.
(8)
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
(9)
Six days you shall labor and do all your work.
(10)
But the seventh day
is the
Sabbath of
your Elohim. You shall not do any work, you, nor
your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant,
nor your cattle, nor your stranger within your gates.
(11)
For in six days
made
the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that
is in them, and rested the
seventh day. Therefore
blessed the Sabbath day, and sanctified
it.
(12)
Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long
upon the land which
your Elohim gives you.
(13)
You shall not kill.
(14)
You shall not commit adultery.
(15)
You shall not steal.
(16)
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
(17)
You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your
neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his
ox, nor his ass, nor anything that
is
your neighbor's.
(18)
And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the
noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. And when the people
saw, they trembled, and stood afar off.
(19)
And they said to Mosheh, You speak with us, and we will hear. But
let not Elohim speak with us, lest we die.
(20)
And Mosheh said to the people, Do not fear, for Elohim has come to
test you, and so that His fear may be before your faces, so that you
may not sin.
(21)
And the people stood afar off, and Mosheh drew near to the thick
darkness where Elohim was.
(22)
And
said to Mosheh, So you shall say to the sons of Yisrael,
You have seen that I have talked with you from the heavens.
(23)
You shall not make with Me gods of silver, neither shall you make to
you gods of gold.
(24)
You shall make an altar of earth to Me, and shall sacrifice on it
your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your
oxen. In all places where I record My name I will come to you, and I
will bless you.
(25)
And if you will make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of
cut stone. For if you lift up your tool upon it, you have defiled
it.
(26)
And you shall not go up by steps to My altar, that your nakedness be
not uncovered on it.

(21:1)
And these
are the judgments
which you shall set before them.
(2)
If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years. And in the
seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
(3)
If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he
was married, then his wife
shall go out with him.
(4)
If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons or
daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he
shall go out by himself.
(5)
And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and
my sons. I do not want to go out free
(6)
his master shall bring him to the judges. He shall also bring him to
the door or to the door-post. And his master shall bore his ear
through with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.
(7)
And if a man sells his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not
go out as the menservants do.
(8)
If she does not please her master, who has betrothed her to himself,
then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no power to sell
her to a strange nation, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.
(9)
And if he has betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her as
with daughters.
(10)
If he takes himself another
wife,
her food, her clothing, and her duty of marriage shall not be
lessened.
(11)
And if he does not do these three to her, then she shall go out free
without money.
(12)
He that strikes a man, so that he dies, shall be surely put to
death.
(13)
And if a man does not lie in wait, but Elohim delivers
him into his hand, then I will
appoint you a place where he shall flee.
(14)
But if a man comes presumptuously upon his neighbor to slay him with
guile, you shall take him from My altar, so that he may die.
(15)
And he that strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to
death.
(16)
And he that steals a man and sells him, or if he is found in his
hand, he shall surely be put to death.
(17)
And he that curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to
death.
(18)
And if men strive together, and one strikes another with a stone, or
with his fist, and he does
not die, but keeps his bed;
(19)
if he rises again and walks abroad upon his staff, then he that
struck him shall be set free. Only he shall pay for the loss of his
time, and shall cause him to
be completely healed.
(20)
And if a man strikes his servant, or his maidservant, with a rod,
and he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.
(21)
But if he continues a day or two, he shall not be punished. For he
is his money.
(22)
If men strive and strike a pregnant woman, so that her child comes
out, and there is no injury, he shall surely be punished, according
as the woman's husband will lay upon him. And he shall pay as the
judges say
(23)
And if
any injury occurs,
then you shall give life for life,
(24)
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
(25)
burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
(26)
And if a man strike the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid,
so that it perishes, he shall let him go free on account of his eye.
(27)
And if he strikes out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's
tooth, he shall let him go free on account of his tooth.
(28)
If an ox gores a man or woman so that they die, then the ox shall
surely be stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten. But the owner of
the ox shall be set free.
(29)
But if the ox was apt to gore in time past, and his owner has been
told, and he has not kept him in, but that he has killed a man or a
woman, the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to
death.
(30)
If there is laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the
ransom of his life whatever is laid upon him.
(31)
Whether he has gored a son, or has gored a daughter, according to
this judgment it shall be done to him.
(32)
If the ox shall gore a manservant or a maidservant, he shall give to
their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
(33)
And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not
cover it, and an ox or an ass falls in it,
(34)
the owner of the pit shall make
it
good and give silver to its owner. And the dead shall be his.
(35)
And in the event the ox of a man damages the ox of a neighbor, so
that it dies, then they shall sell the living ox, and they shall
divide the money of it. And they shall also divide the dead
ox.
(36)
Or if it is known that the ox has been apt to gore in time past, and
his owner has not kept him in, he shall surely pay ox for ox. And
the dead shall be his own.
![]()
(22:1)
If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it or sell it, he
shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
(2)
If a thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, no
blood shall be shed for him.
(3)
If the sun is risen upon him, blood is due for him. He should repay
in full. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
(4)
If the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether it is an
ox, or an ass, or a sheep, he shall restore double.
(5)
If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in
his animal, and shall feed in another man's field; he shall repay
from the best of his own field, and the best of his own vineyard.
(6)
If fire breaks out and catches in thorns, so that the stacks of
grain, or the standing grain, or the field, is burned up, he who
kindled the fire shall surely repay in full.
(7)
If a man shall deliver to his neighbor silver or stuff to keep, and
it is stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, let him
pay double.
(8)
If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be
brought to the judges, whether he has put his hand to his neighbor's
goods.
(9)
For every case of trespass, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for
clothing, for any kind of lost thing, which
another claims to be his, the
cause of both parties shall come before the judges. Whom the judges
shall condemn, he shall pay double to his neighbor.
(10)
If a man delivers to his neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or
any animal to keep, and it dies, or is hurt, or driven away, no one
seeing,
(11)
an oath of
shall be between them both, that he has not put his
hand to his neighbor's goods. And the owner of it shall accept it,
and he shall not make it
good.
(12)
And if it is stolen from him, he shall fully repay the owner of it.
(13)
If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for witness,
and he shall not make good that
which was torn.
(14)
And if a man borrows from his neighbor, and it is hurt, or dies, and
the owner of it not with it, he shall surely make
it good.
(15)
If the owner of it
is with
it, he shall not make it
good. If it is hired, it came for its hire.
(16)
And if a man lures a virgin who is not promised, and lies with her,
he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
(17)
If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money
according to the dowry of virgins.
(18)
You shall not allow a sorceress to live.
(19)
Anyone lying with an animal shall surely be put to death.
(20)
One sacrificing to a Elohim, except it is to
only, he shall be
utterly destroyed.
(21)
You shall neither vex a stranger nor oppress him, for you were
strangers in the land of Mitsrayim.
(22)
You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.
(23)
If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to Me, I will
surely hear their cry.
(24)
And My wrath shall become hot, and I will kill you with the sword,
and your wives shall be widows, and your sons fatherless.
(25)
If you lend money to one of My people who
is poor beside you, you shall
not be to him as a money-lender, neither shall you lay upon him
interest.
(26)
If you at all take your neighbor's clothing as a pledge, you shall
deliver it to him by the time the sun goes down.
(27)
For that
is his covering
only, it is his clothing for his skin. In what shall he sleep? And
it will be, when he cries to Me, I will hear, for I
am gracious.
(28)
You shall not revile Elohim, nor curse the ruler of your people.
(29)
You shall not delay
giving
the fullness of your crops
and juices of your vintage.
You shall give the first-born of your sons to Me.
(30)
Likewise you shall do with your oxen
and with your sheep; it shall be with its dam seven days.
On the eighth day you shall give it to Me.
(31)
And you shall be holy men to Me. Neither shall you eat flesh torn by
beasts in the field. You shall throw it to the dogs.
![]()
(23:1)
You shall not raise a false report. Do not put your hand with the
wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
(2)
You shall not follow a multitude to do evil. Neither shall you speak
in a cause in order to follow many in order to wrest
judgment.
(3)
And you should not favor a poor man in his cause.
(4)
If you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray, you shall
surely bring it back to him again.
(5)
If you see the ass of him who hates you lying under his burden, and
would hold back from helping him, you shall surely help him.
(6)
You shall not pervert the judgment of your poor in his cause.
(7)
Keep far from a false matter, and do not kill the innocent and
righteous. For I will not justify the wicked.
(8)
And you shall take no bribe, for the bribe blinds the wise and
perverts the words of the righteous.
(9)
Also you shall not oppress a stranger. For you know the heart of a
stranger, since you were strangers in the land of Mitsrayim.
(10)
And you shall sow your land six years, and shall gather in the
fruits of it.
(11)
But the seventh
year you
shall let it rest and let it alone, so that the poor of your people
may eat. And what they leave, the animals of the field shall eat. In
the same way you shall deal with your vineyard
and with your oliveyard.
(12)
You shall do your work six days, and on the seventh day you shall
rest, so that your ox and your ass may rest, and the son of your
handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
(13)
And be watchful in all that I have said to you. And make no mention
of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of your
mouth.
(14)
You shall keep a feast to Me three times in the year.
(15)
You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened
Bread. You shall eat unleavened
bread seven days, as I
commanded you, in the time appointed of the month Abib, for in it
you came out of Mitsrayim. And no one shall appear before Me empty.
(16)
Also the Feast of Harvest, the first-fruits of your labors, which
you have sown in the field. Also the Feast of Ingathering, in the
end of the year, when you have gathered in your labors out of the
field.
(17)
Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord
Elohim.
(18)
You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leaven, neither
shall the fat of My sacrifice remain until the morning.
(19)
The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring
into the house of
your
Elohim. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
(20)
Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to
bring you to the place which I have prepared.
(21)
Be on guard before Him, and obey His voice. Do not provoke Him, for
He will not pardon your transgressions. For My name
is in Him.
(22)
But if you shall indeed obey His voice, and do all that I speak,
then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and a foe to your foes.
(23)
For My Angel shall go before you and bring you in to the Amorim, and
the Hittim, and the Perizzim, and the Canaanim, and the Hivites, and
the Yebusim. And I will cut them off.
(24)
You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them. And you shall
not do according to their works. But you shall surely pull them
down, and surely you shall smash their images.
(25)
And you shall serve
your Elohim, and He shall bless your bread
and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you.
(26)
Nothing shall cast their young, nor be barren in your land. The
number of your days I will fulfill.
(27)
I will send My fear before you, and will destroy all the people to
whom you shall come. And I will make all your enemies turn their
backs to you.
(28)
And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the
Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite before you.
(29)
I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land
become a waste, and the beast of the field multiply against you.
(30)
By little and little I will drive them out from before you, until
you have increased, and inherit the land.
(31)
And I will stretch your bounds from the Red Sea even to the Sea of
the Pelishtim, and from the desert to the river. For I will deliver
the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them
out before you.
(32)
You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.
(33)
They shall not dwell in your land lest they make you sin against Me.
For if you serve their gods, it surely will be a snare to you.

(24:1)
And He said to Mosheh, Come up to
, you and Aaron, Nadab, and
Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Yisrael. And bow yourselves afar
off.
(2)
And Mosheh alone shall come near
, but they shall not come near.
Neither shall the people go up with him.
(3)
And Mosheh came and told the people all the Words of
, and all
the judgments. And all the people answered with one voice and said,
All the words which
has said, we will do.
(4)
And Mosheh wrote all the Words of
, and rose up early in the
morning, and built an altar below the mountain and twelve pillars
according to the twelve tribes of Yisrael.
(5)
And he sent young men of the sons of Yisrael who offered burnt
offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of bulls to
.
(6)
And Mosheh took half of the blood, and put
it in basins, and half of the
blood he sprinkled on the altar.
(7)
And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the ears of the
people. And they said, All that
has said we will do, and be
obedient.
(8)
And Mosheh took the blood and sprinkled
it on the people, and said,
Behold the blood of the covenant, which
has made with you
concerning all these words.
(9)
And Mosheh went up, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the
elders of Yisrael.
(10)
And they saw the Elohim of Yisrael. And
there was under His feet as it
were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as the essence of the
heavens for clearness.
(11)
And upon the nobles of the sons of Yisrael He did not lay his hands.
Also they saw Elohim, and ate and drank.
(12)
And
said to Mosheh, Come up to Me in the mountain, and be
there. And I will give you tablets of stone, and the Law, and
commandments which I have written, so that you may teach them.
(13)
And Mosheh rose up, and his attendant Yahushu`a. And Mosheh went up
into the mountain of Elohim.
(14)
And he said to the elders, You stay here for us until we come again
to you. And behold, Aaron and Hur
are
with you. If any man has any matters to do, let him come to them.
(15)
And Mosheh went up into the mountain, and a cloud covered the
mountain.
(16)
And the glory of
abode upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered
it six days. And the seventh day He called to Mosheh out of the
midst of the cloud.
(17)
And the sight of the glory of
was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the
eyes of the sons of Yisrael.
(18)
And Mosheh went into the midst of the cloud, and went up into the
mountain. And Mosheh was in the mountain forty days and forty
nights.
![]()
(25:1)
And
spoke to Mosheh, saying,
(2)
Speak to the sons of Yisrael that they bring Me an offering. You
shall take an offering from every man that gives it willingly with
his heart.
(3)
And this
is the offering
which you shall take of them: gold, and silver, and brass,
(4)
and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and bleached
linen, and goats'
hair,
(5)
and rams' skins dyed red, and dugong skins, and acacia-wood,
(6)
oil for the light, spices for anointing oil and for sweet incense,
(7)
onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the
breast-pocket.
(8)
And let them make Me a sanctuary, so that I may dwell among them.
(9)
According to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle, and
the pattern of all the instruments of it, even so you shall make
it.
(10)
And they shall make an ark
of
acacia-wood. Two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide
and a cubit and a half high.
(11)
And you shall overlay it
with
pure gold. You shall overlay it inside and out, and shall make on it
a crown of gold all around.
(12)
And you shall cast four rings of gold for it, and shall put
it on its four feet. And two
rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other
side of it.
(13)
And you shall make staves
of
acacia-wood, and overlay them
with
gold.
(14)
And you shall put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark,
so that the ark may be carried with them.
(15)
And the staves shall be in the rings of the ark. They shall not be
taken from it.
(16)
And you shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.
(17)
And you shall make a mercy-seat
of
pure gold. Two and a half cubits shall be the length of it, and a
cubit and a half the breadth of it.
(18)
And you shall make two cherubs
of
gold; of beaten work you shall make them, in the two ends of the
mercy-seat.
(19)
And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the
other end. From the mercy-seat you shall make the cherubs, on the
two ends of it.
(20)
And the cherubs shall stretch forth
their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their
wings, and their faces each toward the other; toward the mercy-seat
shall the cherubs' faces be.
(21)
And you shall put the mercy-seat above, upon the ark. And in the ark
you shall put the testimony that I shall give you.
(22)
And I will meet with you there, and I will talk with you from above
the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubs on the ark of the
testimony, of all things which I will give you in commandment to the
sons of Yisrael.
(23)
You shall also make a table
of
acacia-wood, its length two cubits, and its breadth a cubit, and its
height a cubit and a half.
(24)
And you shall overlay it
with
pure gold, and make to this a crown of gold all around.
(25)
And you shall make to it a border of a hand's breadth round about.
And you shall make a golden crown to the border of it, all around.
(26)
And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in
the four corners that are on
the four feet of it.
(27)
The rings shall be adjoining the border as housings for the staves
to carry the table.
(28)
And you shall make the staves
of
acacia-wood and overlay them with gold, so that the table may be
carried with them.
(29)
And you shall make its dishes, and its spoons, and its pitchers, and
its sacrificial cups with
which a drink-offering is made. You shall make them
of pure gold.
(30)
And you shall set upon the table Bread of the Presence before Me
always.
(31)
And you shall make a lampstand
of
pure gold. The lampstand shall be made of beaten work; its shaft,
and its branches, its cups, its knobs, and its blossoms, shall be
from it.
(32)
And six branches shall come out of the sides of it-- three branches
of the lampstand out of the one side, and three branches of the
lampstand out of the other side.
(33)
Three almond-like cups on the one branch,
with knob and blossom; and
three almond-like cups on the one branch,
with knob and blossom, so for
the six branches, those going out of the lampstand.
(34)
And in the lampstand
shall be
four almond-like cups, with
their knobs and their blossoms;
(35)
and a knob under two branches of it, and a knob under two branches
of it, and a knob under two branches of it, according to the six
branches, those going out of the lampstand.
(36)
Their knobs and their branches
shall be
of it, all of it one beaten work of pure gold.
(37)
And you shall make the seven lamps of it. And one shall light the
lamps of it, so that they may give light on its face.
(38)
And the tongs of it, and its pans
shall
be of pure gold.
(39)
One shall make it
of a
talent of pure gold, with all these vessels.
(40)
And see that you make them after their pattern, which was shown you
in the mountain.
![]()
(26:1)
And you shall make the tabernacle
with
ten curtains of fine twined bleached
linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet. You shall make
them with cherubs, of the work of a cunning workman.
(2)
The length of one curtain
shall be
twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits. And
every one of the curtains shall have one measure.
(3)
And five curtains
shall be
joined, each to its sister-piece.
(4)
And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of one curtain, from
the end at the juncture; and so you shall do at the edge of the last
curtain, at the second juncture.
(5)
You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make
fifty loops in the end of the curtain which
is at second juncture, the
corresponding loops each to her sister.
(6)
You shall make fifty clasps of gold, and you shall join the curtains
each to her sister by the clasps. And it shall be one tabernacle.
(7)
And you shall make curtains
of
goats' hair to be a tent
over the tabernacle. You shall make eleven curtains.
(8)
The length of one curtain
shall be
thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits, one
measure to the eleven curtains.

And you shall join five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by
themselves. And you shall double the sixth curtain in the forefront
of the tabernacle.
(10)
And you shall make fifty loops on the edge of one curtain, the last
at the juncture, and fifty loops on the edge of the second curtain
that joins.
(11)
And you shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into
the loops, and couple the tent together, so that it may be one.
(12)
And the rest that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half
curtain that remains, shall hang over the backside of the
tabernacle.
(13)
And the cubit from this side, and the cubit from that side that
remains in the length of the curtains of the tent shall be hung over
the sides of the tabernacle, from this and from that side, to cover
it.
(14)
And you shall make a covering for the tent
of rams' skins dyed red, and a
covering above of dugong skins.
(15)
And you shall make boards for the tabernacle
of acacia-wood standing up.
(16)
Ten cubits
shall be the
length of one board, and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of
one board.
(17)
There shall be two pins in
one board, each connected to its sister-piece. So you shall do for
all the boards of the tabernacle.
(18)
And you shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on
the south side southward.
(19)
And you shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards--
two sockets under one board for its two pins, and two sockets under
another board for its two pins.
(20)
And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side
shall be twenty boards,
(21)
and their forty sockets
of
silver, two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another
board.
(22)
And for the sides of the tabernacle westward you shall make six
boards.
(23)
And you shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in
the sides.
(24)
And they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be
coupled together above the head of it to one ring. So it shall be
for them both. They shall be for the two corners.
(25)
And there shall be eight
boards, and their sockets of
silver, sixteen sockets, two sockets under one board, and two
sockets under another board.
(26)
And you shall make bars
of
acacia-wood, five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
(27)
and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle;
and five bars for the side of the tabernacle, for the two sides
westward.
(28)
And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end
to end.
(29)
And you shall overlay the boards
with
gold, and you shall make their rings
of
gold, housings for the bars. And you shall overlay the bars with
gold.
(30)
And you shall rear up the tabernacle according to the pattern of it
which was shown you in the mountain.
(31)
And you shall make a veil
of

is the thing that
you shall do to them, to sanctify them to minister to Me in the
priest's office. Take one bull, the son of the herd, and two rams
without blemish,
(2)
and unleavened
bread, and
cakes unleavened mixed with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with
oil. You shall make them of
wheat flour.

of the congregation, and shall wash them with water.

girdles, Aaron and his sons, and bind turbans on them. And the
priest's office shall be theirs for an everlasting statute. And you
shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.
(10)
And you shall cause a bull to be brought before the tabernacle of
the congregation. And Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon
the head of the bull.
(11)
And you shall kill the bull before
,
by the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation.
(12)
And you shall take
some of
the blood of the bull, and put
it
on the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour all the blood
beside the bottom of the altar.
(13)
And you shall take all the fat that covers the inward parts, and the
lobe on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat on them, and
burn them upon the altar.
(14)
But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, you shall
burn with fire outside the camp. It
is
a sin offering.
(15)
And you shall also take one ram. And Aaron and his sons shall put
their hands upon the head of the ram.
(16)
And you shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood and
sprinkle all round upon the altar.
(17)
And you shall cut the ram in pieces, and you shall wash its inward
parts and its legs, and put them
with its pieces and with its head.

is a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to
.

their hands upon the head of the ram.
(20)
Then you shall kill the ram, and take of its blood, and put
it upon the tip of the ear of
Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the
thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right
foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar all around.
(21)
And you shall take
some of
the blood on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on
Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of
his sons with him. And he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and
his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
(22)
Also you shall take from the ram the fat and the fat tail, and the
fat that covers the inward parts, and the lobe on the liver, and the
two kidneys and the fat on them, and the right shoulder, for it is a
ram of consecration;
(23)
and one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer
out of the basket of the unleavened
bread that
is
before
.
(24)
And you shall put all in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his
sons, and shall wave them for
a wave offering before
.
(25)
And you shall take them from their hands, and burn
them upon the altar for a burnt
offering, for a sweet savor before
. It is an offering made by
fire to
.
(26)
And you shall take the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration and
wave it for a wave offering
before
. And it shall be your portion.
(27)
And you shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the
shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is lifted
from the ram of the consecration, from what
is Aaron's, and from what is
for his sons.
(28)
And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute forever from the
sons of Yisrael. For it is a
heave offering. And it shall be a heave offering from the sons of
Yisrael of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their heave
offering to
.
(29)
And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be
anointed in them and consecrated in them.
(30)
The one of his sons that is priest in his place shall put them on
seven days, when he comes into the tabernacle of the congregation to
minister in the holy place.
(31)
And you shall take the ram of the consecration, and boil its flesh
in the holy place.
(32)
And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread
that is in the basket,
by the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation.
(33)
And they shall eat those things with which the atonement was made,
to consecrate and to sanctify them. But a stranger shall not eat
because they are holy.
(34)
And if any of the flesh of the consecrations, or of the bread,
remains until the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with
fire. It shall not be eaten, because it
is holy.
(35)
And so you shall do to Aaron and to his sons according to all things
which I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven days.
(36)
And you shall offer every day a bull, a sin offering for atonement.
And you shall cleanse the altar when you have made an atonement for
it, and you shall anoint it to sanctify it.
(37)
You shall make an atonement for the altar seven days, and sanctify
it. And it shall be a most holy altar. Whatever touches the altar
shall be holy.
(38)
And this
is what you shall
offer upon the altar: two lambs of the first year day by day
forever.
(39)
The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you
shall offer at evening.
(40)
And with the one lamb a tenth part of flour mixed with the fourth
part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin
of wine, a drink offering.
(41)
And you shall offer the other lamb at evening; you shall do to it
according to the meal offering of the morning, and according to its
drink offering, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to
.
(42)
This shall be
a burnt offering forever throughout your generations, at the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation before
, where I will meet
you, to speak there to you.
(43)
And there I will meet with the sons of Yisrael, and Yisrael shall be
sanctified by My glory.
(44)
And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation and the
altar. I will also sanctify both Aaron and his sons to minister to
Me in the priest's office.
(45)
And I will dwell among the sons of Yisrael, and will be their
Elohim.
(46)
And they shall know that I
am
their Elohim, who brought them forth out of the land of
Mitsrayim so that I may dwell among them. I
am
their Elohim.
(30:1)
And you shall make an altar to burn incense upon. You shall make it
of acacia-wood.
(2)
A cubit
shall be its length,
and a cubit its breadth. It shall be square. And two cubits
shall be the height of it, its
horns from itself.
(3)
And you shall overlay it
with
pure gold, its top, and its sides all around, and its horns. And you
shall make to it a crown of gold all around.
(4)
And you shall make two golden rings to it under the crown of it, by
the two corners of it, upon the two sides of it you shall make it.
And they shall be housings for the staves to bear it with.
(5)
And you shall make the staves
of
acacia-wood and overlay them
with
gold.
(6)
And you shall put it before the veil that
is by the ark of the testimony,
in front of the mercy-seat that is beside the testimony, where I
will meet with you.
(7)
And Aaron shall burn sweet incense on it every morning; when he
dresses the lamps he shall burn it.
(8)
And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a
perpetual incense before
throughout your generations.
(9)
You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt sacrifice, nor
meal offering. Neither shall you pour drink offering on it.
(10)
And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a
year with the blood of the sin offerings of atonement. He shall make
atonement on it once in the year throughout your generations. It
is most holy to
.
(11)
And
spoke to Mosheh saying,
(12)
When you count the sons of Yisrael, of those who are to be counted,
then they shall each man give a ransom for his soul to
when
you number them, so that
there may be no plague among them when you number them.
(13)
They shall give this, every one that passes among those who are
counted, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary
(a
shekel is twenty gerahs);
a half shekel shall be the
offering of
.
(14)
Everyone that passes among those who are numbered, from twenty years
old and above, shall give an offering to
.
(15)
The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than
half a shekel, when they
give an offering to
to make an atonement for your souls.
(16)
And you shall take the atonement silver of the sons of Yisrael, and
shall appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation, so that it may be a memorial to the sons of Yisrael
before
, to make an atonement for your souls.
(17)
And
spoke to Mosheh, saying,
(18)
You shall also make a laver
of
bronze and its foot also of bronze, for washing. And you shall put
it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar. And you
shall put water in it,
(19)
for Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet there.
(20)
When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall
wash with water so that they
do not die. Or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn
an offering made by fire to
,
(21)
they shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they do not die.
And it shall be a statute forever to them, to him and to his seed
throughout their generations.
(22)
And
spoke to Mosheh, saying,
(23)
Take also to you principal spices, five hundred
shekels of pure myrrh, and half
as much of sweet cinnamon, even two hundred and fifty
shekels, and two hundred and
fifty shekels of sweet calamus,
(24)
and five hundred of cassia, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and a
hin of olive oil.
(25)
And you shall make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound
after the art of the perfumer. It shall be a holy anointing oil.
(26)
And you shall anoint the tabernacle of the congregation with it, and
the ark of the testimony,
(27)
and the table and all its vessels, and the lampstand and its
vessels, and the altar of incense,
(28)
and the altar of burnt offerings with all its vessels, and the laver
and its foot.
(29)
And you shall sanctify them so that they may be most holy. Whatever
touches them shall be holy.
(30)
And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them, so that
they may minister to Me in
the priest's office.
(31)
And you shall speak to the sons of Yisrael saying, This shall be a
holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations.
(32)
It shall not be poured upon man's flesh, neither shall you make
any other like it, according to
the way it is made. It is holy, and it shall be holy to you.
(33)
Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts
any of it upon a stranger,
shall even be cut off from his people.
(34)
And
said to Mosheh, Take to yourself sweet spices, stacte, and
onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense, a part of
each one.
(35)
And you shall make it a perfume, an incense according to the art of
the perfumer, salted, pure and
holy.
(36)
And you shall beat
some of
it very small, and put it before the testimony in the tabernacle of
the congregation, where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy
to you.
(37)
And the perfume which you shall make, you shall not make any for
yourselves according to the way it is made. It shall be holy to you
for
.
(38)
Whoever shall make
any like
that, to smell of it, shall even be cut off from his people.

(31:1)
And
spoke to Mosheh, saying,
(2)
Behold, I, I have called by name Bezaleel, the son of Uri, the son
of Hur, of the tribe of Yahudah.
(3)
And I have filled him with the spirit of Elohim, in wisdom, and in
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all workmanship,
(4)
to devise designs; to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
(5)
and in cutting of stones, to set
them,
and in carving of timber, to work in all workmanship.
(6)
And behold, I have given to him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of
the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the
wise-hearted, so that they may make all that I have commanded you:
(7)
the tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony,
and the mercy-seat that is
upon it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle,
(8)
and the table and its vessels, and the pure lampstand with all its
vessels, and the altar of incense,
(9)
and the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, and the laver
and its base,
(10)
and the woven garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest,
and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,
(11)
and the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy
place. According to all that I
have commanded you, they shall do.
(12)
And
spoke to Mosheh saying,
(13)
Speak also to the sons of Yisrael, saying, Truly you shall keep My
sabbaths. For it is a sign
between Me and you throughout your generations, to know that I
am
who sanctifies you.
(14)
You shall keep the Sabbath therefore, for it
is holy to you. Everyone that
defiles it shall surely be put to death. For whoever does
any work in it, that soul shall
be cut off from among his people.
(15)
Six days may work be done, but on the seventh
is the sabbath of rest, holy to
. Whoever does any
work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
(16)
Therefore the sons of Yisrael shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the
Sabbath throughout their generations,
for an everlasting covenant.
(17)
It is a sign between Me and
the sons of Yisrael forever. For in six days
made the heavens
and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested, and was refreshed.
(18)
And He gave to Mosheh, when He had made an end of speaking with him
upon Mount Sinai, two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone,
written by the finger of Elohim.
![]()
(32:1)
And the people saw that Mosheh delayed to come down from the
mountain, and the people gathered themselves to Aaron. And they said
to him, Up! Make us gods who shall go before us. For this Mosheh,
the man who brought us up out of the land of Mitsrayim, we do not
know what has become of him.
(2)
And Aaron said to them, Break off the golden earrings which
are in the ears of your wives,
of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring
them to me.
(3)
And all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their
ears, and brought them to
Aaron.
(4)
And he took
them from their
hand, and fashioned it with an engraving tool. And he made it a
molten calf. And they said, These
are
your gods, O Yisrael, who brought you up out of the land of
Mitsrayim.
(5)
And when Aaron saw, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made
proclamation and said, Tomorrow
is
a feast to
.
(6)
And they rose up early on the next day and offered burnt offerings,
and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and to
drink, and rose up to play.
(7)
And
said to Mosheh, Go! Get down, for your people, whom you
brought out of the land of Mitsrayim, are corrupted.
(8)
They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded
them. They have made them a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and
have sacrificed to it, and said, These
are your gods, O Yisrael, who have brought you up out of
the land of Mitsrayim.
(9)
And
said to Mosheh, I have seen this people, and behold, it
is a stiff-necked people.
(10)
And now leave Me alone, so that My wrath may become hot against them
and so that I may consume them. And I will make of you a great
nation.
(11)
And Mosheh prayed to
his Elohim, and said,
, why does Your
wrath become hot against Your people whom You have brought forth out
of the land of Mitsrayim with great power and with a mighty hand?
(12)
Why should the Mitsrim speak and say, He brought them out for harm,
to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of
the earth? Turn from Your fierce wrath, and be moved to pity as to
this evil against Your people.
(13)
Remember Abraham, Yitsak, and Yisrael, Your servants, to whom You
swore by Your own self, and said to them, I will multiply your seed
as the stars of the heavens, and all this land that I have spoken of
will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit
it forever.
(14)
And
repented as to the evil which He spoke of doing to His
people.
(15)
And Mosheh turned, and went down from the mountain, and the two
tablets of the testimony were
in his hand. The tablets were written on both their sides; on the
one side and on the other.
(16)
And the tablets
were the
work of Elohim, and the writing
was
the writing of Elohim. It was
engraved on the tablets.
(17)
And Yahushu`a heard the voice of the people in their shouting. And
he said to Mosheh, A sound of war in the camp!
(18)
And he said,
It is not a
sound of a cry of victory, nor a sound of the cry of defeat. I
am hearing the sound of
singing.
(19)
And it happened, as he came near to the camp and saw the calf and
dances, the anger of Mosheh became hot, and he threw the tablets out
of his hands, and broke them at the bottom of the mountain.
(20)
And he took the calf which they had made and burned
it in the fire, and ground
it to powder, and dropped
it upon the water, and made the
sons of Yisrael drink of it.
(21)
And Mosheh said to Aaron, What did this people do to you, that you
have brought so great a sin upon them?
(22)
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord become hot. You know
the people, that they are set
on mischief.
(23)
For they said to me, Make us gods who shall go before us. For this
Mosheh, the man that brought us up out of the land of Mitsrayim, we
do not know what has become of him.
(24)
And I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let them break
it off. And they gave it to me,
and I threw it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
(25)
And when Mosheh saw that the people were naked,
(for
Aaron had made them naked to
their
shame among their enemies,)
(26)
then Mosheh stood in the gate of the camp and said, Who
is on
's side?
Come to me. And all the sons of
Levi gathered themselves to him.
(27)
And he said to them, Thus says
, the Elohim of Yisrael: Each man
put his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate
throughout the camp, and kill each one his brother, and each one his
neighbor, and each one his kindred.
(28)
And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Mosheh. And there
fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
(29)
For Mosheh had said, Consecrate yourselves today to
, since each
one has been against his
son, and against his brother, and in order to give you a blessing
today.
(30)
And it happened on the next day, Mosheh said to the people, You have
sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to
. Perhaps I shall
make an atonement for your sin.
(31)
And Mosheh returned to
, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a
great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.
(32)
And now will You forgive their sin! And if not, I pray You, blot me
out of Your book which You have written.
(33)
And
said to Mosheh, Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot
him out of My book.
(34)
And now go, lead the people to
the
place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, My Angel
shall go before you. And in the day of My visitation I will visit
their sin upon them.
(35)
And
plagued the people because they made the calf, which Aaron
made.
![]()
(33:1)
And
said to Mosheh, Come, go up from here, you and the people
whom you have brought up out of the land of Mitsrayim, to the land
which I swore to Abraham, to Yitsak, and to Ya’aqob, saying, To your
seed I will give it.
(2)
And I will send an Angel before you. And I will drive out the
Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the
Hivite, and the Jebusite;
(3)
to a land flowing
with milk
and honey. For I will not go up in the midst of you, for you
are a stiff-necked people, lest
I consume you in the way.
(4)
And the people heard these evil tidings, and they mourned, and put
no ornaments on themselves.
(5)
And
had said to Mosheh, Say to the sons of Yisrael, You
are a stiff-necked people. I
will come up into the midst of you in a moment, and I will consume
you. And now put off your ornaments from you, that I may know what
to do with you.
(6)
And the sons of Yisrael stripped themselves of their ornaments by
Mount Horeb.
(7)
And Mosheh took the tabernacle and pitched it outside the camp, afar
off from the camp, and called it the tabernacle of the congregation.
And it happened, everyone who sought
went out to the tabernacle
of the congregation, which
was outside the camp.
(8)
And it happened as Mosheh went out to the tabernacle, all the people
rose up, and each man stood at
his tent door and looked after Mosheh until he had gone into the
tabernacle.
(9)
And it happened as Mosheh went into the tabernacle, the cloudy
pillar descended and stood at
the door of the tabernacle, and
spoke with Mosheh.
(10)
And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand
at the tabernacle door. And all
the people rose up and worshiped, each man in his tent door.
(11)
And
would speak to Mosheh face to face, as a man speaks to his
friend. And he turned again to the camp. But his servant, Yahushu`a
the son of Nun, a young man, did not leave the middle of the
tabernacle.
(12)
And Mosheh said to
, Behold, You say to me, Bring up this
people. And You have not told me whom You will send with me. Yet You
have said, I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My
sight.
(13)
Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found grace in Your sight, make
me see now Your ways, that I may know You, that I may find grace in
Your sight. And consider that this nation
is Your people.
(14)
And He said, My presence shall go
with
you, and I will give you rest.
(15)
And he said to Him, If Your presence does not go
with me, do not carry us up
from here.
(16)
For in what shall it be known that I and Your people have found
grace in Your sight? Is it
not in that You go with us? So we shall be separated, I and Your
people, from all the people that
are
upon the face of the earth.
(17)
And
said to Mosheh, I will do this thing also that you have
spoken. For you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by
name.
(18)
And he said, I beseech You, let me see Your glory.
(19)
And He said, I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will
proclaim the name of
before you. And I will be gracious to whom
I will be gracious, and will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.
(20)
And He said, You cannot see My face. For there no man can see Me and
live.
(21)
And
said, Behold!
There is
a place by Me, and you shall stand upon a rock.
(22)
And it will be, while My glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft
of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by.
(23)
And I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back parts. But
My face shall not be seen.
![]()
(34:1)
And
said to Mosheh, Cut out two tablets of stone like the
first. And I will write upon the tablets the words that were in the
first tablets which you broke.
(2)
And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount
Sinai, and present yourself there to Me in the top of the mountain.
(3)
And no man shall come up with you, neither let any man be seen
throughout all the mountain. Also do not let the flocks nor herds
feed before that mountain.
(4)
And he cut out two tablets of stone like the first. And Mosheh rose
up early in the morning and went up to Mount Sinai, as
had
commanded him, and took in his hand the two tablets of stone.
(5)
And
came down in the cloud, and stood with him there, and
proclaimed the name of
.
(6)
And
passed by before him and proclaimed,
!
Elohim,
merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and
truth,
(7)
keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression
and sin, and who will by no means clear
the guilty, visiting the
iniquity of fathers on the sons, and on the sons of sons, to the
third and to the fourth generation.
(8)
And Mosheh made haste and bowed toward the earth, and worshiped.
(9)
And he said, If now I have found grace in Your sight, O
, I pray
You, let my Lord go among us. For it
is a stiff-necked people. And
pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Your inheritance.
(10)
And He said, Behold! I make a covenant. Before all your people I
will do marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in
any nation. And all the people in whose midst you
are shall see the work of
,
for it is an awesome thing
that I will do with you.
(11)
Observe that which I command you this day. Behold! I drive out
before you the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the
Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
(12)
Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the people of
the land where you go, lest it be for a snare in the midst of you.
(13)
But you shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down
their sacred poles.
(14)
For you shall worship no other Elohim. For
, whose name is
Jealous, is a jealous
Elohim;
(15)
lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they
go whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice to their gods, and
call you, and you eat of his sacrifice;
(16)
and lest you take from their daughters for your sons, and their
daughters go whoring after their gods and make your sons go whoring
after their gods.
(17)
You shall make you no molten gods.
(18)
You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened
Bread. You shall eat unleavened
bread seven days, as I
commanded you, in the time of the month Abib. For in the month Abib
you came out from Mitsrayim.
(19)
All that opens the womb
is
Mine; and all your male livestock, a firstling of ox or sheep.
(20)
But the firstling of an ass you shall redeem with a lamb. And if you
do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. All the first-born
of your sons you shall redeem. And none shall appear before Me
empty.
(21)
You shall work six days, but on the seventh day you shall rest. In
plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.
(22)
And you shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the first-fruits of
wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the year's end.
(23)
Three times in the year your men shall appear before the Lord
,
the Elohim of Yisrael.
(24)
For I will cast out the nations before you and enlarge your borders.
Neither shall any man desire your land when you shall go up to
appear before
your Elohim three times in the year.
(25)
You shall not slaughter the blood of My sacrifice with leaven.
Neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the Pesach be left to
the morning.
(26)
The first of the first-fruits of your land you shall bring to the
house of
your Elohim. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's
milk.
(27)
And
said to Mosheh, Write these words for yourself; for on the
mouth of these words I have made a covenant with you and with
Yisrael.
(28)
And he was there with
forty days and forty nights. He neither
ate bread, nor drank water. And He wrote upon the tablets the words
of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.
(29)
And it happened as Mosheh was going down from the mountain of Sinai,
the two tablets of the testimony being in Mosheh' hand as he went
down from the mountain, Mosheh did not know that the skin of his
face had become luminous through His speaking with him.
(30)
And Aaron and all the sons of Yisrael saw Mosheh, and behold, the
skin of his face had become luminous. And they were afraid to come
near him.
(31)
And Mosheh called to them. And Aaron and all the rulers of the
congregation returned to him, and Mosheh talked with them.
(32)
And afterward all the sons of Yisrael came near. And he commanded
them all that
had spoken with him in Mount Sinai.
(33)
And Mosheh finished speaking with them, and he put a veil on his
face.
(34)
But when Mosheh went in before
to speak with Him, he took the
veil off until he came out. And he came out and spoke to the sons of
Yisrael that which he was commanded.
(35)
And the sons of Yisrael saw the face of Mosheh, that the skin of
Mosheh' face had become luminous. And Mosheh put the veil upon his
face again, until he went in to speak with Him.
![]()
(35:1)
And Mosheh gathered all the congregation of the sons of Yisrael
together and said to them, These
are
the words which
has commanded, to do them.
(2)
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be
to you a holy day, a sabbath of rest to
. Whoever does work in
it shall be put to death.
(3)
You shall kindle no fire throughout your living places upon the
Sabbath day.
(4)
And Mosheh spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Yisrael
saying, This is the thing
which
commanded. He said,
(5)
Take from among you an offering to
. Whoever
is of a willing heart, let him
bring it, an offering of
: gold, and silver, and bronze,
(6)
and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and bleached
linen, and goats'
hair,
(7)
and rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and acacia-wood,
(8)
and oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the
sweet incense,
(9)
and onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the
breast-pocket.
(10)
And every wise-hearted one among you shall come and make all that
has commanded:
(11)
the tabernacle, its tent, its covering, its clasps, and its boards,
its bars, its pillars, and its sockets.
(12)
And make the ark and the staves of it, the mercy-seat, and the veil
of the covering,
(13)
the table, and its staves, and all its vessels, and showbread,
(14)
also the lampstand for the light, and its vessels, and its lamp,
with the oil for the light,
(15)
and the incense altar, and its staves, and the anointing oil, and
the sweet incense, and the hanging of the door at the entering in of
the tabernacle.
(16)
And make the altar of burnt offering, with its bronze grating, its
staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base,
(17)
the hangings of the court, its pillars and their sockets, and the
hanging, for the door of the court,
(18)
the pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their
cords,
(19)
the woven garments to do service in the holy
place, the holy garments for
Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the
priest's office.
(20)
And all the congregation of the sons of Yisrael departed from the
presence of Mosheh.
(21)
And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one
whom His spirit made willing. They brought
's offering to the
work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all His service,
and for the holy garments.
(22)
And the men came in together with the women, as many as were
willing-hearted, bringing bracelets and earrings, and rings and
ornaments, all jewels of gold. And everyone who offered waved a wave
offering of gold to
.
(23)
And everyone
with whom was
found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and bleached
linen, and goats'
hair, and red skins of rams,
and badgers' skins, brought them.
(24)
Everyone lifting up an offering of silver and bronze brought
's
offering. And everyone with whom was found acacia-wood for any work
of the service, brought it.
(25)
And every wise-hearted woman spun with her hands. And they brought
spun yarn, blue, and purple, scarlet, and bleached
linen.
(26)
And all the women whose hearts were lifted up in wisdom spun goats'
hair.
(27)
And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the
ephod and for the breast-pocket.
(28)
And they brought spice and oil, for the light and for the anointing
oil and for the sweet incense.
(29)
The sons of Yisrael brought a willing offering to
, every man
and woman whose heart made them willing to bring for all kinds of
work which
had commanded to be made by the hand of Mosheh.
(30)
And Mosheh said to the sons of Yisrael, See,
has called the son
of Uri the son of Hur, by the name Bezaleel, of the tribe of
Yahudah.
(31)
And He has filled him with the spirit of Elohim in wisdom, in
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of work,
(32)
and to devise designs, to work in gold, and in silver, and in
bronze,
(33)
and in the cutting of stones to set, and in carving of wood, to make
any kind of skillful work.
(34)
And He has put in his heart that he may teach, he and Aholiab the
son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
(35)
He has filled them
with
wisdom of heart to work all kinds of work; of the smith, and of the
skillful worker, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in
scarlet, and in bleached linen,
and of the weaver, of those who do any work, and of those who work
out artful work.
![]()
(36:1)
And Bezaleel and Aholiab shall work with everyone wise of heart to
whom
has given wisdom and intelligence, to know how to do every
work of the service of the sanctuary, concerning all which
had
commanded.
(2)
And Mosheh called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man
in whose heart
had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart
stirred him up to come, to do the work.
(3)
And they received all the offerings from Mosheh, the offering which
the sons of Yisrael had brought for the work of the service of the
sanctuary, to make it. And they still brought to him free offerings
every morning.
(4)
And all the wise men who worked all the work of the sanctuary came,
every man from his work which they made.
(5)
And they spoke to Mosheh, saying, The people bring much more than
enough for the service of
the work which
commanded to make.
(6)
And Mosheh commanded, and they caused it to be known throughout the
camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the
offering of the sanctuary. And the people were kept from bringing.
(7)
For the stuff which they had was enough for all the work to make it,
and too much.
(8)
And every wise-hearted one among them that worked the work of the
tabernacle, made ten curtains
of
fine twined bleached linen,
and blue, and purple, and scarlet. He made them with cherubs of
skillful work.
(9)
The length of one curtain
was
twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain was four cubits.
The curtains were all of one size.
(10)
And he coupled the five curtains to one another, and he coupled
the other five curtains to one
another.
(11)
And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the edge
in the coupling. Likewise he made loops in the outermost side, in
the coupling of the second curtain.
(12)
He made fifty loops in one curtain, and he made fifty loops in the
edge of the curtain which was
in the coupling of the second. The loops held one to another.
(13)
And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains to one
another with the clasps. And it became one tabernacle.
(14)
And he made curtains
of
goats' hair for the tent
over the tabernacle. He made eleven curtains.
(15)
The length of one curtain
was
thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of one curtain. The
eleven curtains were of one size.
(16)
And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by
themselves.
(17)
And he made fifty loops on the outermost edge of the curtain in the
coupling, and he made fifty loops upon the edge of the curtains
which coupled the second.
(18)
And he made fifty clasps
of
bronze to couple the tent together, so that it might be one.
(19)
And he made a covering for the tent
of
rams' skins dyed red, and a covering
of
dugong skins above.
(20)
And he made boards for the tabernacle
of acacia-wood, standing up.
(21)
The length of a board
was
ten cubits, and the breadth of a board was one and a half cubits.
(22)
By two pins the one board was connected, one to another. So he made
for all the boards of the tabernacle.
(23)
And he made boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south
side southward.
(24)
And he made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards, two
sockets under one board for its two pins, and two sockets under
another board for its two pins.
(25)
And for the other side of the tabernacle, toward the north, he made
twenty boards,
(26)
and their forty sockets were of silver; two sockets under one board,
and two sockets under another board.
(27)
And he made six boards for the sides of the tabernacle westward.
(28)
And he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the
sides.
(29)
And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head of
it, to one ring. So he did to both of them in both the corners.
(30)
And there were eight boards. And their sockets
were sixteen sockets of silver,
two sockets under every board.
(31)
And he made bars of acacia-wood, five for the boards of the one side
of the tabernacle,
(32)
and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle,
and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the westward
sides.
(33)
And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one
end to the other.
(34)
And he overlaid the boards
with
gold, and made their rings of
gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars
with gold.
(35)
And he made a veil
of blue,
and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined bleached
linen. He made it the work of
an artisan, with cherubs.
(36)
And he made for it four pillars
of
acacia. And he overlaid them
with
gold. Their hooks were of
gold, and he cast four sockets of silver for them.
(37)
And he made a screen for the tabernacle door, blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and fine twined bleached
linen,
of needlework;
(38)
and the five pillars of it, and their hooks. And he overlaid their
capitals and their fillets with
gold, but their five sockets
were of
bronze.
![]()
(37:1)
And Bezaleel made the ark
of
acacia-wood: two cubits and a half long, and a cubit and a half
wide, and a cubit and a half high.
(2)
And he overlaid it
with pure
gold inside and out, and made a crown of gold around it.
(3)
And he cast four rings of gold for it, for the corners of it, even
two rings on the one side of it and two rings on the other side of
it.
(4)
And he made staves
of
acacia-wood and overlaid them
with
gold.
(5)
And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, in
order to bear the ark.
(6)
And he made the mercy-seat
of
pure gold. Two cubits and a half long, and one cubit and a half
wide.
(7)
And he made two cherubs
of
gold on the two ends of the mercy-seat. He made them of beaten work,
(8)
one cherub here at one end, and one cherub there at the
other end. He made the cherubs
out of the mercy-seat on the two ends of it.
(9)
And the cherubs were spreading out
their wings above, covering the mercy-seat
with their wings, their faces
each toward the other. The faces of the cherubs were toward the
mercy-seat.
(10)
And he made the table
of
acacia-wood. Two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half
high.
(11)
And he overlaid it
with pure
gold, and made for it a crown of gold all around.
(12)
Also he made for it a border all around, of a hand's breadth. And he
made a crown of gold for the border of it all around.
(13)
And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four
corners that were in the
four feet of it.
(14)
The rings were near the border, the housings for the staves to carry
the table.
(15)
And he made the staves
of
acacia-wood, and overlaid them
with
gold, to carry the table.
(16)
And he made the vessels which were on the table, its dishes and its
spoons, and its bowls, and its pitchers by which a drink offering is
made, of pure gold.
(17)
And he made the lampstand
of
pure gold. He made the lampstand
of
beaten work; its shaft and its branch, its cups, its knobs, and its
blossoms, were of the same.
(18)
And six branches went out of the sides of it; three branches of the
lampstand out of the one side of it, and three branches of the
lampstand out of the other side of it.
(19)
Three almond-like cups
were
on the one branch, a knob and a blossom; and three almond-like cups
on the one branch, a knob and a blossom. So throughout the six
branches going out of the lampstand.
(20)
And on the lampstand
were
four almond-like cups, its knobs and its blossoms.
(21)
And a knob was under two branches of the same, and a knob under two
branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, to
the six branches going out of it.
(22)
Their knobs and their branches were of the same; all of it was one
beaten work of pure gold.
(23)
And he made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes,
of pure gold.
(24)
He made it of a talent
of
pure gold, and all the vessels of it.
(25)
And he made the incense altar
of
acacia-wood. Its length was a cubit, and its breadth a cubit,
square. And its height was two cubits. Its horns were of the same.
(26)
And he overlaid it
with pure
gold, the top of it and the sides of it all around, and the horns of
it. Also he made for it a crown of gold all around.
(27)
And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown of it, by the
two corners of it, upon the two sides of it, to be places for the
staves to bear it with.
(28)
And he made the staves
of
acacia-wood, and overlaid them
with
gold.
(29)
And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet
spices, the work of the perfumer.

(38:1)
And he made the altar of burnt offering
of acacia-wood. Its length
was five cubits, and its
breadth five cubits, square; and its height three cubits.
(2)
And he made its horns on its four corners. Its horns were of it. And
he overlaid it with bronze.
(3)
And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels,
and the basins, the flesh-hooks, and the fire-pans. All the vessels
of it he made of bronze.
(4)
And he made a bronze grating of network for the altar, under the
compass of it, beneath to the middle of it.
(5)
And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grating of bronze,
places for the staves.
(6)
And he made the staves
of
acacia-wood and overlaid them
with
bronze.
(7)
And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to
bear it with. He made it hollow
with
boards.
(8)
And he made the laver
of
bronze, and its base bronze, out of the mirrors of serving women who
assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
(9)
And he made the court. On the south side southward the hangings of
the court were of fine
twined bleached linen, a
hundred cubits.
(10)
Their pillars were twenty, and their bronze sockets twenty. The
hooks of the pillar and their bands
were of silver.
(11)
And for the north side, a hundred by the cubit, their pillars
twenty, and their twenty sockets bronze. The hooks of the pillars
and their bands were of silver.
(12)
And for the west side
were
hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.
The hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver.
(13)
And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
(14)
The hangings of the one side
were
fifteen cubits, and their pillars three, and their sockets three.
(15)
And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that
hand, were hangings of
fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three.
(16)
All the hangings of the court all around
were of fine twined bleached
linen.
(17)
And the sockets for the pillars were
of
bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were
of silver. And the overlaying
of their capitals was of
silver. And all the pillars of the court were banded with silver.
(18)
And the screen for the gate of the court
was needlework: blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and fine twined bleached
linen. And it was twenty cubits
long, and the height and the width five cubits, to match the
hangings of the court.
(19)
And the pillars
were four,
and their bronze sockets four; their hooks silver, and the
overlaying of their capitals and their bands silver.
(20)
And all the pins of the tabernacle and of the court all around,
were of bronze.
(21)
This is the sum of the tabernacle, of the tabernacle of testimony,
as it was counted, according to the command of Mosheh,
for the service of the Levites
by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
(22)
And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of
Yahudah, made all that
commanded Mosheh.
(23)
And with him
was Aholiab the
son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skillful
workman, and an embroiderer in blue and in purple and in scarlet and
bleached linen.
(24)
All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the
sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty-nine talents
and seven hundred thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
(25)
And the silver from those numbered of the congregation
was a hundred talents, and
seventeen hundred seventy-five shekels, after the shekel of the
sanctuary;
(26)
a bekah for every man, half a shekel, after the shekel of the
sanctuary, for everyone that went to be numbered, from twenty years
old and upward, for six hundred three thousand, five hundred fifty
men.
(27)
And the sockets of the sanctuary were cast of the hundred talents of
silver, and the sockets of the veil also, a hundred sockets of the
hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
(28)
And he made hooks for the pillars out of the seventeen hundred
seventy-five shekels, and overlaid their capitals and joined them.
(29)
And the bronze of the wave offering
was
seventy talents, and twenty-four hundred shekels,
(30)
and with it he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the bronze altar, and the bronze grating for it,
and all the vessels of the altar,
(31)
and the sockets of the court all around, and the sockets of the
court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of
the court all around bronze.

(39:1)
And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made woven garments
for ministering in the sanctuary. And they made the holy garments
for Aaron, even as
commanded Mosheh.
(2)
And he made the ephod
of
gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined bleached
linen.
(3)
And they beat the gold into thin plates, and cut threads to work
it into the blue, and into the
purple, and into the scarlet, and into the bleached
linen, the work of an artisan.
(4)
They made shoulder-pieces for it, to couple
it together. It was coupled
together by the two edges.
(5)
And its fastening band which
was
on it, was of it, according to its work; gold, blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and fine twined bleached
linen,
even as
commanded Mosheh.
(6)
And they made stones of onyx set
in
plaited work of gold, engraved as signets are engraved, with the
names of the sons of Yisrael.
(7)
And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, stones for a memorial
to the sons of Yisrael, even as
commanded Mosheh.
(8)
And he made the breast-pocket a work
of
an artisan, like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple,
and scarlet, and fine twined bleached
linen;
(9)
it was square. They made the breast-pocket double. Its length
was a span, and its breadth a
span, doubled.
(10)
And they set four rows of stones in it. One row was a ruby, a topaz,
and a carbuncle, the first row.
(11)
And the second row: an turquoise, a sapphire, and a jasper.
(12)
And the third row: a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst.
(13)
And the fourth row: a chrysolite, an agate, and a jasper; set in
plaited work of gold in their settings.
(14)
And the stones were according to the names of the sons of Yisrael,
twelve, according to their names,
like
the engravings of a signet, every one with its name according to the
twelve tribes.
(15)
And they made cords of chains upon the breast-pocket, of woven work
of pure gold.
(16)
And they made two plaitings
of
gold and two gold rings. And they put the two rings on the two ends
of the breast-pocket.
(17)
And they put the two cords of gold in the two rings on the ends of
the breast-pocket.
(18)
And the two ends of the two cords were fastened in the two
plaitings. And they put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, on
its front.
(19)
And they made two rings of gold. And they put
them on the two ends of the
breast-pocket, on its border, on the side of the ephod inward.
(20)
And they made two golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the
ephod underneath, toward the front of it, near the other coupling of
it, above to the band of the ephod.
(21)
And they bound the breast-pocket by its rings to the rings of the
ephod with a lace of blue, so that it might be above the band of the
ephod, and so that the breast-pocket might not be loosened from the
ephod, even as
commanded Mosheh.
(22)
And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
(23)
And the opening in the middle of the robe
was like the opening of a
corselet, with a band around the opening, so that it might not tear.
(24)
And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and twined bleached
linen.
(25)
And they made bells
of pure
gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hems of
the robe, all around, between the pomegranates:
(26)
a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the
hem of the robe to minister in,
even as
commanded Mosheh.
(27)
And they made the tunics
of
bleached linen
of woven work for Aaron and for
his sons.
(28)
And they made a miter of
bleached linen, and the
turban of the caps of
bleached linen, and linen
breeches of fine twined
bleached linen,
(29)
and a girdle
of fine twined
bleached linen, and blue,
and purple, and scarlet, of
needlework, even as
commanded Mosheh.
(30)
And they made the plate of the holy crown
of pure gold, and wrote upon it
an inscription of the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO
.
(31)
And they tied a lace of blue to it, in order to fasten
it on high upon the miter, even
as
commanded Mosheh.
(32)
And all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation
was finished. And the sons of Yisrael did according to all that
commanded Mosheh. So they did.
(33)
And they brought the tabernacle to Mosheh, the tent, and all its
furniture, its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and
its sockets,
(34)
and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of dugong
skins, and the veil of the covering,
(35)
the ark of the testimony, and its staves, and the mercy-seat,
(36)
the table,
and all its
vessels, and the Bread of the Presence,
(37)
the pure lampstand, its lamps, even the lamps to be set in order,
and all the vessels of it, and the oil for light,
(38)
and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense,
and the screen for the tabernacle door,
(39)
the bronze altar, and its grating of bronze, its staves, and all its
vessels, the laver and its base,
(40)
the curtains of the court, its pillars and its sockets, and the
screen for the court gate, its cords, and its pins, and all the
vessels of the service of the tabernacle for the tent of the
congregation,
(41)
the woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary, and the holy
garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister
in the priest's office.
(42)
According to all that
commanded Mosheh, so the sons of Yisrael
made all the work.
(43)
And Mosheh looked upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it.
As
commanded, even so they had done it. And Mosheh blessed
them.
![]()
(40:1)
And
spoke to Mosheh, saying,
(2)
You shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation on
the first day of the first month.
(3)
And you shall put the ark of the testimony in it, and you shall
cover the ark with the veil.
(4)
And you shall bring the table in, and set in order its arrangement.
And you shall bring the lampstand in and light the lamps of it.
(5)
And you shall set the altar of gold for the incense in front of the
ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the
tabernacle.
(6)
And you shall set the altar of the burnt offering in front of the
door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
(7)
And you shall set the laver between the tent of the congregation and
the altar, and shall put water in it.
(8)
And you shall set up the court all around, and place the screen at
the court gate.
(9)
And you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle, and
all in it, and shall sanctify it and all the vessels of it. And it
shall be holy.
(10)
And you shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all its
vessels, and sanctify the altar. And it shall be a most holy altar.
(11)
And you shall anoint the laver and its base, and sanctify it.
(12)
And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, and wash them with water.
(13)
And you shall put the holy garments on Aaron, and anoint him and
sanctify him, so that he may minister to Me in the priest's office.
(14)
And you shall bring his sons and clothe them
with tunics.
(15)
And you shall anoint them, even as you anointed their father, so
that they may minister to Me in the priest's office. For their
anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood for their
generations.
(16)
And Mosheh did so. According to all that
commanded him, so he
did.
(17)
And it was in the first month in the second year, on the first of
the month, the tabernacle was reared up.
(18)
And Mosheh reared up the tabernacle and fastened its sockets, and
set up its boards, and put in its bars, and reared up its pillars.
(19)
And he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of
the tent above upon it, even as
commanded Mosheh.
(20)
And he took and placed the Testimony into the ark, and set the
staves on the ark, and put the mercy-seat on the ark from above.
(21)
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle and set up the veil of
the covering, and covered the Ark of Testimony, even as
commanded Mosheh.
(22)
And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, on the side of
the tabernacle northward, outside the veil.
(23)
And he set the bread in order upon it before
, even as
had
commanded Mosheh.
(24)
And he put the lampstand in the tent of the congregation across from
the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
(25)
And he set up the lamps before
, even as
commanded Mosheh.
(26)
And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation in front
of the veil.
(27)
And he burned sweet incense on it, even as
commanded Mosheh.
(28)
And he set up the screen
at
the door of the tabernacle.
(29)
And he put the altar of burnt offering
by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the
congregation, and offered on it the burnt offering and the food
offering, even as
commanded Mosheh.
(30)
And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the
altar, and put water there, for washing.
(31)
And Mosheh and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet
there.
(32)
When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came
near the altar, they washed, even as
commanded Mosheh.
(33)
And he reared up the court all around the tabernacle and the altar,
and set up the screen of the court gate. And Mosheh finished the
work.
(34)
And the cloud covered the tabernacle of the congregation, and the
glory of
filled the tabernacle.
(35)
And Mosheh was not able to enter into the tabernacle of the
congregation because the cloud stayed on it, and the glory of
filled the tabernacle.
(36)
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons
of Yisrael journeyed on in all their journeys.
(37)
But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey until
the day that it was taken up.
(38)
For the cloud of
was
upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the
sight of all the house of Yisrael, in all their journeys.
