AudioBible NKJV 02 Exodus Dramatized New King James Version

the second book of Moses called Exodus now these are the names of the children of Israel who came to Egypt each man and his household came with Jacob Reuben Simeon Levi and Judah Issachar Zebulun and Benjamin Dan Naphtali GAD and usher all those who were descendants of Jacob or 70 persons Joseph was in Egypt already and Joseph done all his brothers and all that generation but the children of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly multiplied and grew exceedingly mighty and the land was filled with them now there arose a new king over Egypt who did not know Joseph and he said to his people look the people love the children of Israel are more and mightier than we come let us deal shrewdly with them lest they multiply and it happened in the event of war that they also join our enemies and fight against us and so go up out of the land therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens and they built for Pharaohs supply cities Python and Rameses but the more they afflicted them the more they multiplied and grew and they were in dread of the children of Israel so the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with rigor and they made their lives bitter with hard bondage in mortar and brick and in all manner of service in the field all their service in which they made them serve was with rigor then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives of whom the name of one was Chiffre and the name of the other poor and he said when you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women and see them on the birth stools if it is a son then you shall kill him but if it is a daughter then she shall live but the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them but saved the male children alive so the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them I have you done this thing and save the male children alive and the midwives said to Pharaoh because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women for they are lively and give birth before the midwives come to them therefore God dealt well with the midwives in the people multiplied and grew very mighty and so it was because the midwives feared God that he provided households for them so Pharaoh commanded all his people saying every son who was born you shall cast into the river and every daughter you shall save alive chapter 2 and the man of the house of Levi went and took his wife a daughter of Levi so the woman conceived and bore a son and when she saw that he was a beautiful child she hid him three months but when she could no longer hide him she took an ark of bulrushes for him dogged it with asphalt and pitch put the child in it and laid it in the reeds by the rivers Bank and his sister stood afar off to know what would be done to him then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river and her maidens walked along the river side and once she saw the ark among the reeds she sent her maid to get it and when she opened it she saw the child and behold the baby wept so she had compassion on him and said then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women that she may nurse the child fear and Pharaoh's daughter said to her go so the maiden went and called the child's one then Pharaoh's daughter said to work take this child away and nurse him for me and I will give you your wages so the woman took the child and nursed him and the child grew and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son so she called his name Moses saying because I drew him out of the water now it came to pass in those days when Moses was grown that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew one of his brethren so he looked this way and that way and when he saw no one he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand and when he went out the second day behold two Hebrew men were fighting and he said to the one who did the wrong why are you striking your companion then he said who made you a prince and judge over us do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian so Moses feared and said surely this thing is known when Pharaoh heard of this matter he sought to kill Moses Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian and he sat down by a well now the priest of Midian had seven daughters and they came and drew water and they filled the troughs to water their fathers flocked then the Shepherd's came and drove them away but Moses stood up and helped them and watered their flock when they came to very well their father he said how easy did you have come so soon today and they said an Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the Shepherd's and he also drew enough water for us and watered the flock so he said to his daughters and where is he why is it that you have left the man call him that he may eat bread then Moses was content to live with a man and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses and she bore him a son he called his name Gershom for he said I have been a stranger in a foreign land now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage and they cried out and their cry came up to God because of the bondage so God heard their groaning and God remembered his covenant with Abraham with Isaac and with Jacob and God looked upon the children of Israel and God acknowledged them chapter three now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law the priest of Midian and he led the flock to the back of the desert and came to Horeb at the mountain of God and the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush so he looked and behold the bush was burning with fire but the bush was not consumed then Moses said I will now turn aside and see this great sight why the bush does not burn so when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look on kaldwin from the midst of the bush and said Moses Moses and he said Here I am then he said do not draw near this place take your sandals off your feet for the place where you stand is holy ground moreover he said I am the God of your father the God of Abraham the god of Isaac and the God of Moses hid his face for he was afraid to look upon God and the Lord said I have surely seen the oppression of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters for I know their sorrows so I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land to a land flowing with milk and honey to the place of the Canaanites in the Hittites and the amorite sand parasites in the heights and the jebusites now therefore behold the cry of the children of Israel has come to me I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them come now therefore and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people the children of Israel out of Egypt but Moses said to God Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt so he said I will certainly be with you and this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you when you have brought the people out of Egypt you shall serve God on this month then Moses said to God indeed when I come to the children of Israel and say to them the god of your father's has sent me to you and they say to me what is his name what shall I say to them and God said to Moses I am Who I am and he said thus you shall say to the children of Israel I am has sent me to you moreover God said to Moses thus you shall say to the children of Israel the Lord God of your father's the God of Abraham the god of Isaac and the God of Jacob has sent me to you this is my name forever and this is my memorial to all generations go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them the Lord God of your father's the God of Abraham of Isaac and of Jacob appeared to me saying I have surely visited you and seeing what is done to you in Egypt and I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the amorite sand parasites and the highlights and the Jebusites to a land flowing with milk and honey then they will heed your voice and you shall come you and the elders of Israel to the king of Egypt and you shall say to him the Lord God of the Hebrews has met with us now please let us go three days journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God and I'm sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go no not even by a mighty hand so I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do when its midst and after that he will let you go and I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians and it shall be when you go and you shall not go empty-handed but every woman shall ask of her neighbour namely of her who dwells near her house articles of silver articles of gold and clothing you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters so you shall plunder the Egyptians Chapter four then Moses answered and said but suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice suppose they say the Lord has not appeared to you so the Lord said to him what is that in your hand he said a rod and he said cast it on the ground so he cast it on the ground and it became a serpent and Moses fled from it then the Lord said to Moses reach out your hand and take it by the tail and he reached out his hand and caught it and it became a rod in his hand that they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers the God of Abraham the god of Isaac and the God of Jacob has appeared to you furthermore the Lord said to him now put your hand in your bosom and he put his hand in his bosom and when he took it out behold his hand was leprous like snow and he said put your hand in your bosom again so he put his hand in his bosom again and drew it out of his bosom and behold it was restored like his other flesh then it will be if they do not believe you nor heed the message of the first sign that they may believe the message of the latter sign and it shall be if they do not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice that you shall take water from the river and pour it on the dry land the water which you take from the river will become blood on the dry land then Moses said to the Lord oh my lord I am NOT eloquent neither before nor since you have spoken to your servant but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue so the Lord said to him who has made man's mouth or who makes the mute the Deaf the seeing or the blind have not I the Lord now therefore go and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say but he said o my lord please send by the hand of whomever else you may send so the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses and he said is not Aaron the Levite your brother I know that he can speak well and look he is also coming out to meet you when he sees you he will be glad in his heart now you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth and I will be with your mouth and with his mouth and I will teach you what you shall do so he shall be your spokesman to the people and he himself shall be as a mouth for you and you shall be to him as God and you shall take this rod in your hand with which you shall do the signs so Moses went and returned to JETRO his father-in-law and said to him please let me go and return to my brethren who are in Egypt and see whether they are still alive and Jethro said to Moses go in peace go in peace now the Lord said to Moses in Midian go return to Egypt for all the men who sought your life are dead then Moses took his wife and his sons and set them on a donkey and he returned to the land of Egypt and Moses took the rod of God in his hand and the Lord said to Moses when you go back to Egypt see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand but I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go then you shall say to Pharaoh thus says the Lord Israel is my son my firstborn so I say to you let my son go that he may serve me but if you refuse to let him go indeed I will kill your son your firstborn and it came to pass on the way at the encampment that the Lord met him and sought to kill him then Zipporah took a sharp stone and cut off the foreskin of her son and cast it at Moses feet and said surely you are a husband of blood to me so he let him go then she said you are a husband of blood because of the circumcision and the Lord said to Aaron go into the wilderness to meet Moses so he went and met him on the mountain of God and kissed him so Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord who had sent him and all the signs which he had commanded him then Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel and Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had spoken to Moses then he did the signs in the sight of the people so the people believed and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel and that he had looked on their affliction then they bowed their heads and worshiped chapter 5 afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Oh thus says the Lord God of Israel let my people go that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness and Pharaoh said who is the Lord that I should obey his voice to let Israel go I do not know the Lord nor will I let Israel go so they said the God of the Hebrews has met with us please let us go three days journey into the desert and sacrifice to the Lord our God lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword then the king of Egypt said to them Moses and Aaron why do you take the people from their work go back to your labor and Pharaoh said look the people of the land are many now and you make them rest from their labor so the same day Pharaoh commanded the test masters of the people and their officers saying you shall no longer give the people straw to make brick as before let them go and gather straw for themselves and who shall lay on them the quota of bricks which they made before we shall not produce it they are idle therefore they cry out saying let us go and sacrifice to our God let more work be laid on the men that they may labor in it and let them not regard false words and the taskmasters of the people and their officers went out and spoke to the people saying Pharaoh I will not give you straw go get yourselves straw where you can find it yet none of your work will be reduced so the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt together stumble instead of strong and the taskmasters forced them to hurry saying fulfill your work your daily quota as when there was strong also the officers of the children of Israel whom Pharaoh's task masters had set over them were beaten and were asked why have you not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and today as before then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried out to Pharaoh saying why are you dealing thus with your servants there is no straw given to your servants and they say to us baked brick and indeed your serve are beaten but the folders in your own people but he said you are idle idle therefore you say let us go and sacrifice to the Lord therefore go now and work for no straw shall be given you yes you shall deliver the quota of bricks and the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble after it was said you shall not reduce any bricks from your daily quarter then as they came out from Pharaoh they met Moses and Aaron who stood there to meet them and they said to them let the Lord look on you and judge because you have made us abhorrent in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants to put a sword in their hand to kill us so Moses returned to the Lord and said Lord why have you brought trouble on these people why is it you have sent me 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 chapter 6 then the Lord said to Moses now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh what with a strong hand he will let them go and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land God spoke to Moses and said to him I am the Lord I appeared to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty but by my name Lord that I was not known to them I have also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan the land of their pilgrimage in which they were strangers and I've also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage and I have remembered my covenant therefore say to the children of Israel I am the Lord I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians I will rescue you from their bondage and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments I will take you as my people and I will be your God then you shall know that I am the Lord your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians and I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham Isaac and Jacob and I will give it to you as a heritage I am the law so Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel but they did not heed Moses because of anguish of spirit and cruel bondage the Lord spoke to Moses saying go in tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the children of Israel go out of his land Moses spoke before the Lord saying the children of Israel have not heeded me how then shall Pharaoh heed me for I am of uncircumcised lips then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a command of the children of Israel and for Pharaoh king of Egypt to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt these are the heads of their fathers houses the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel work a knock halu hezron and Carmi these are the families of Reuben and the sons of simeon word Jim well Jamin Oh had jaqen Zohar and xual the son of a Canaanite woman these are the families of simeon these are the names of the sons of levi

of the Levites according to their families these are the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies these are the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt these are the same Moses and Aaron and it came to pass on the day the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt that the Lord spoke to Moses saying I am the Lord speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you but Moses said before the Lord behold I am of uncircumcised lips and how shall pharaoh heed me chapter 7 so the Lord said to Moses see I have made you as God to Pharaoh and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet you shall speak all that I command you and Aaron your brother shall tell Pharaoh to send the children of Israel out of his land and I will harden Pharaoh's heart and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt but Pharaoh will not heed you so that I may lay my hand on Egypt and bring my armies and my people the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by great judgments and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord when I stretch out my hand on Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them then Moses and Aaron did so just as the LORD commanded them so they did and Moses was 80 years old and Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron saying when Pharaoh speaks to you saying show a miracle for yourselves then you shall say to Aaron take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh and let it become a serpent so Moses and Aaron went into Pharaoh and they did so just as the Lord Commander Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servant and it became a serpent but Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers so the magician's of Egypt they also did in like manner with Aaron chapters or every man threw down his rod and they became serpents but Aaron's rod swallowed up their room and Pharaoh's heart grew hard and he did not heed them as the Lord had said so the Lord said to Moses Pharaoh's heart is hard he refuses to let the people go go to Pharaoh in the morning when he goes out to the water and you shall stand by the rivers bank to meet him and the rod which was turned to a serpent you shall take in your hand and you shall say to him the Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to you saying let my people go that they may serve me in the wilderness but indeed until now you would not hear thus says the Lord by this you shall know that i am the lord i will strike the waters which are in the river with the rod that is in my hand and they shall be turned to blood and the fish that are in the river shall die the river shall stink and the egyptians will loathe to drink the water of the river then the Lord spoke to Moses say to Aaron take your rod and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their streams over the rivers over their ponds and over all their pools of water that they may become blood and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt both in buckets of wood and pitchers of stone Moses and Aaron did so just as the LORD commanded so 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 that were in the river were turned to blood the fish that were in the river dye the river stank and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river so there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt then the magician's of Egypt did so with Aaron shepherds and Pharaohs ha and he did not eat them as the Lord had said Pharaoh turned and went into his house now there was his heart moved by this so all the Egyptians dug all around the river for water to drink because they could not drink the water of the river and seven days passed after the Lord had struck the river chapter 8 and the Lord spoke to Moses go to Pharaoh and say to him thus says the Lord let my people go that they may serve me but if you refuse to let them go behold I will smite all your territory with frogs so the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly which shall go up and come into your house into your bedroom on your bed into the houses of your servants on your people into your ovens and into your kneading bowls and the frogs shall come up on you on your people and on all your servants and the Lord spoke to Moses 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 on the land of Egypt so Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt and the magicians did so were their enchantments and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said entreated the Lord that he may take away the frogs for me and from my people and I will let the people go that they may sacrifice for the Lord and Moses said to Pharaoh accept the honor of saying when I shall intercede for you for your servants and for your people to destroy the frogs from you and your houses that they may remain in the river own so he said tomorrow and he said let it be according to your word that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God and the frogs shall depart from you from your houses from your servants and from your people they shall remain in the river only then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh and Moses cried out to the Lord concerning the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh so the Lord did according to the word of Moses and the frogs died out of the houses out of the courtyards out of the fields they gathered them together and heat and the land stank but one pharaoh saw that there was relief he hardened his heart and did not heed them as the Lord had said so the Lord said to Moses 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 Egypt and they did so for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and struck the dust of the earth and it became lice on man and beast all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt now the magicians so worked with their enchantments to bring forth lice but they could not so there were lice on man and beast then the magician said to Pharaoh this is the finger of God but Pharaoh's heart grew hard and he did not heed them just as the Lord had said and the Lord said to Moses rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh as he comes out to the water then say to him thus says the Lord let my people go that they may serve me or else if he will not let my people go behold I will send swarms of flies on you and your servants on your people and into your houses the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies and also the ground on which they stand and in that day I will set apart the land of Goshen in which my people dwell that no swarms of flies shall be there in order that you may know that I am the Lord in the midst of the land I will make a difference between my people and your people tomorrow this sign shall be and the Lord did so thick swarms of flies came into the house of Pharaoh into his servants houses and into all the land of Egypt land was corrupted because of the swarms of flies then Pharaoh called from Moses and Aaron and said Moses said it is not right to do so we would be sacrificing the abomination of the Egyptians to the Lord our God if we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes then will they not stone us we will go three days journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God as he will command us so Pharaoh said I will let you go that you may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness only you shall not go very far away intercede for me then Moses said indeed I am going out from you and I will entreat the Lord that the swarms of flies may depart tomorrow from Pharaoh from his servants and from his people but let Pharaoh not deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the law so Moses went out from Pharaoh and entreated the Lord and the Lord did according to the word of Moses he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh from his servants and from his people not one remained but Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also neither would he let the people go chapter 9 then the Lord said to Moses go into Pharaoh and tell him thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews let my people go that they may serve me for if you refuse to let them go and still hold them behold the hand of the Lord will be on your cattle in the field on the horses on the donkeys on the camels on the oxen and on the sheep a very severe pestilence and the Lord will make a difference between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt so nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel then the Lord appointed a set time saying tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land so the Lord did this thing on the next day and all the livestock of Egypt died but of the livestock of the children of Israel not one died then Pharaoh sent and indeed not even one of the livestock of the Israelites was dead but the heart of Pharaoh became hard and he did not let the people go so the Lord said to Moses and Aaron take for yourselves handfuls of ashes from a furnace and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens in the sight of Pharaoh and it will become fine dust in all the land of Egypt and it will cause boils that break out in sores on man and beast throughout all the land of Egypt then they took ashes from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh and Moses scattered them toward heaven and they caused boils that break out in sores on man and beast and the magician's could not stand before Moses because of the boils for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians but the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh and he did not heed them just as the Lord had spoken to Moses then the Lord said to Moses rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh and say to him thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews let my people go that they may serve me for at this time I will send all my plagues to your very heart and on your servants and on your people that you may know that there is none like me and all the earth now if our heads stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with pestilence then you would have been cut off from the earth but indeed for this purpose I have raised you up that I may show my power in you and that my name may be declared in all the earth as yet you exalt yourself against my people in that you will not let them go behold tomorrow about this time I will cause very heavy hail to reign down such as has not been in Egypt since its founding until now therefore sin now and gather your livestock and all that you have in the field while the hail shall come down on every man and every animal which is found in the field and is not brought home and they shall die he who feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his livestock flee to the houses but he who did not regard the word of the Lord left his servants and his livestock in the field then the Lord said to Moses stretch out your hand toward heaven that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt man beast and on every herb of the field throughout the land of Egypt and Moses stretched out his rod toward heaven and the Lord sent thunder and hail and fire darted to the ground and the Lord rained hail on the line to thee so there was hail and fire mingled with the hail so very heavy that there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became the nation and the hail struck throughout the whole land of Egypt all that was in the field both man and beast the hail struck every herb of the field and broke every tree of the field only in the land of Goshen where the children of israil work that was no hate and Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron and said to them the Lord is righteous and my people and I are we entreat the Lord that there may be no more mighty thundering inhale for it is enough I will let you go stay no longer so Moses said to him as soon as I have gone out of the city I will spread out my hands for the Lord Thunder will cease and there will be no more hail that you may know that the earth is the Lord's but as for you and your servants I know that you will not get fear the Lord God now the flax and the barley was struck for the barley was in the head and the Flex was in Bodmin but the wheat and the spelt were not strung for they are lake crops so Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and spread out his hands to the Lord and the thunder and the hail ceased and the rain was not poured on the earth and when Pharaoh saw that the rain the hail and the Thunder had ceased he sinned yet more and he hardened his heart he and his servants so the heart of Pharaoh was hard neither would he let the children of Israel go as the Lord had spoken by Moses chapter 10 now the Lord said to Moses go into Pharaoh for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants that I may show these signs of mine before him and that you may tell in the hearing of your son and your son's son the mighty things I have done in Egypt and my signs which I have done among them that you may know that I am the Lord so Moses and Aaron came into Pharaoh and said to him thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews how long will you refuse to humble yourself before me let my people go that they may serve me or else if you refuse to let my people go behold tomorrow I will bring locusts into your territory and they shall cover the face of the earth so that no one will be able to see the earth and they shall eat the residue of what is left which remains to you from the hail and they shall eat every tree which grows up for you out of the field they shall fill your houses the houses of all your servants and the houses of all the Egyptians which neither your fathers nor your father's fathers have seen since the day that they were on the earth to this day and he turned and went out from Pharaoh then Pharaoh's servant said to him how long shall this man be a snare to us let the men go that they may serve the Lord their God do you not yet know that Egypt is destroyed it so Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh and he said to them go serve the Lord your God who are the ones that are going and Moses said we will go with our young and our old with our sons and our daughters with our flocks and our herds we will go for we must hold a feast to the Lord then he said to them the Lord had better be with you when I let you when your little ones go beware for evil is ahead of you not so go now you who are men and serve the Lord for that is what you desired and they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence then the Lord said to Moses stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts that they may come upon the land of Egypt and eat every herb of the land all that the hail has left so Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt and the Lord brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night when it was morning the east wind brought the locusts and the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and rested on all that avicii they were very severe previously there had been no such locust as they nor shall there be such after them while they covered the face of a 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 so there remained nothing green on the trees or on the plants of the field throughout all the land of Egypt then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste and said I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you now therefore please forgive my sin only this once and entreat the Lord your God that he may take away from me this death only so he went out from Pharaoh and entreated the Lord and the Lord turned a very strong west wind which took the locusts away and blew them into the Red Sea there remained not one locust in all the territory of Egypt but the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart and he did not let the children of Israel go then the Lord said to Moses stretch out your hand toward heaven that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt darkness which may even be felt so Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days they did not see one another nor did anyone rise from his place for three days but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings then Pharaoh called to Moses and said go serve the Lord only let your flocks and your herds be kept back let your little ones also go with you but Moses said you must also give us sacrifices and burnt offerings that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God our livestock also shall go with us not a hoof shall be left behind for we must take some of them to serve the Lord our God and even we do not know with what we must serve the Lord until we arrive there but the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart and he would not let them go then Pharaoh said to him get away from me take heed to yourself and see my face no war or in the day you see my face you shall die so Moses said you have spoken well I will never see your face again chapter 11 and the Lord said to Moses I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt afterward he will let you go from here when he lets you go he will surely drive you out of here all together speak now in the hearing of the people and let every man ask from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbors particles of silver and articles of gold the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians or over the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt in the sight of Pharaoh servants and in the sight of the people then Moses said thus says the Lord about midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne even to the firstborn of the female servant who is behind the hand mill and all the firstborn of the animals then there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt such as was not like it before nor shall be like it again but against none of the children of Israel shall a dog move its tongue against man or beast that you may know that the Lord does make a difference between the Egyptians and Israel and all these your servants shall come down to me and bow down to me saying get out and all the people who follow you after that any one out from Pharaoh and great anger but the Lord said to Moses Pharaoh will not heed you so that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt so Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh and the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land chapter 12 now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying this month shall be your beginning of months it shall be the first month of the year to you speak to all the congregation of Israel saying on the 10th of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb according to the house of his father a lamb for a household and if the household is too small for the lamb let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons according to each man's need you shall make your count for the lamb your lamb shall be without blemish a male of the first year you may take it from the sheep or from the goats now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month then the whole Assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at Twilight and they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two-door posts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it then they shall eat the flesh on that night roasted in fire with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it do not eat it raw or boiled at all with water but roasted in fire its head with its legs and its entrance you shall let none of them remain until morning and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire and thus you shall eat it with a belt on your waist to sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand so you shall eat it in haste it is the Lord's Passover or I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt both man and beast against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment I am the Lord how the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are and when I see the Blood I will pass over you and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt so this day shall be to you a memorial and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations you shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance seven days usually gone read on the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses or whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day that person shall be cut off from Israel on the first day there shall be a holy convocation and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you know manner of work shall be done on them but that which every one must eat that only may be prepared by you so you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread or on this same day I will have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance in the first month on the fourteenth day of the month that evening you shall eat unleavened bread until the 21st day of the month that evening for seven days no leaven shall be found in your houses since whoever eats what is leavened that same person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel whether he is a stranger or a native of the land you shall eat nothing leavened in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families and kill the Passover lamb and you shall take a bunch of hyssop dip it in the blood that is in the basin and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning for the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two door posts the Lord will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your house to strike you and you shall observe this thing as an ordinance for you and your sons for ever it will come to pass when you come to the land which the Lord will give you just as he promised that you shall keep this service and it shall be when your children say to you what do you mean by this service that you shall say it is the Passover sacrifice of the Lord who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when he struck the Egyptians and delivered our households so the people bowed their heads and worshiped when the children of Israel went away and did so just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron so they did and it came to pass at midnight that the Lord struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon and all the firstborn of livestock so Pharaoh rose in the night he all his servants and all the Egyptians there was a great cry in Egypt where there was not a house where there was not one dead then he called for Moses and Aaron by night and said go serve the Lord as you have said also take your flocks and your herds as you have said and be gone and lets me also and the Egyptians urged the people that they might send them out of the land in haste for they said we shall all be dead so the people took their dough before it was left having their kneading bowls bound up in their clothes on their shoulders now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses and they had asked from the Egyptians articles of silver articles of gold and clothing and the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians so that they granted them what they requested must they plundered the Egyptians then the children of Israel journeyed from Ramses to Sukkoth about 600,000 men on-court recites children a mixed multitude went up with them also and flocks a great deal of livestock and they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Egypt or it was not leaven because they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait or have they prepared provisions for themselves now the sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt was 430 years and it came to pass at the end of the 430 years on that very same day it came to pass that all the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt it is a night of solemn observance to the Lord for bringing them out of the land of Egypt this is that night of the Lord a solemn observance for all the children of Israel throughout their generations the Lord said to Moses and Aaron this is the ordinance of the Passover no foreigner shall eat it but every man's servant who has bought from money when you have circumcised him then he may eat it a sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat it in one house it shall be eaten you shall not carry any of the flesh outside the house nor shall you break one of its bones all the congregation of Israel shall keep it and when a stranger dwells with you one wants to keep the Passover to the Lord let all his males be circumcised and then let him come near and keep it and he shall be as a native of the land or no uncircumcised person shall eat it one law shall be for the native born and for the stranger who dwells among you thus all the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron so they did and it came to pass on that very same day that the Lord brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their armies chapter 13 then the Lord spoke to Moses saying consecrate to me all the firstborn whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel both of man and beast it is mine and Moses said to the people remember this day in which you went out of Egypt out of the house of bondage for my strength of hand the Lord brought you out of this place no leavened bread shall be eaten on this day you are going out in the month Abib and it shall be when the Lord brings you in the land of the canaanites and the Hittites and the amorite and the highlights and the jebusites which he swore to your father's to give you a land flowing with milk and honey that you shall keep this service in this month seven days you shall eat unleavened bread and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the Lord unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days and no leavened bread shall be seen among you nor shall leaven be seen among you in all your quarters and you shall tell your son in that day saying this is done because of what the Lord did for me when I came up from Egypt it shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes that the Lord's law may be in your mouth for with a strong hand the Lord has brought you out of Egypt you shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year and it shall be when the Lord brings you into the land of the canaanites as he swore to you and your fathers and gives it to you that you shall set apart to the Lord all that opened the womb that is every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have the male shall be the Lord's but every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb and if you will not redeem it then you shall break its neck and all the firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem so it shall be when your son asks you in time to come saying what is this that you shall say to him by strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt out of the house of bondage and it came to pass when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go that the Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beasts therefore I sacrificed to the Lord all males that open the womb but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem it shall be as a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes for by strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt then it came to pass when Pharaoh had let the people go that God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines although that was near for God said lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt so God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea and the children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of Egypt and Moses took the bones of Joseph with him for he had placed the children of Israel under solemn oath saying God will surely visit you and you shall carry up my bones from here with you so they took their journey from Sukkoth and camped and 'litham at the edge of the wilderness and the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way and by night and a pillar of fire to give them light so as to go by day and night he did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night from before the people chapter 14 now the Lord spoke to Moses saying speak to the children of Israel that they turn and camp before pie ha hi Ruth between Migdal and the sea opposite BRZ faun you shall camp before it by the sea or Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel they are bewildered by the land the wilderness has closed them in then I will harden Pharaoh's heart so that he will pursue them and I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord and they did so now it was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people and they said it I have we done this we have let Israel go from serving us so he made ready his chariot and took his people with him also he took six hundred choice chariots and all the chariots of Egypt with captains over every one of them and the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt and pursued the children of Israel and the children of Israel went out with boulders so the Egyptians pursued them all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh his horsemen and his army and overtook them camping by the sea beside hi-hi-hi row before bales upon and one Pharaoh drew near the children of Israel lifted their eyes and behold the Egyptians marched after them so they were very afraid the children of Israel cried out to the Lord then they said to Moses away to die in the wilderness why have you so dealt with us to bring us up out of Egypt is this not the word we told you in Egypt saying let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians for it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we shall die in the wilderness and Moses said to the people do not be afraid stand still and see the salvation of the Lord which he will accomplish for you today for the Egyptians whom you see today you shall see again no more forever the Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace and the Lord said to Moses why do you cry to me tell the children of Israel to go forward but lift up your ride and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea but I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians and they shall follow them so I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army his chariots and his horsemen then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord when I have gained honor for myself over Pharaoh his chariots and his horsemen and the angel of God who went before the camp of Israel moved and went behind them and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them so it came between the camp of the Egyptians on the camp of Israel thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one and it gave light by night to the other so that the one did not come near the other all that night then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea and the Lord caused the sea to go backed by a strong east wind all that night made the sea into dry land waters were divided so the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left and the Egyptians pursued and what happened into the midst of the sea all Pharaoh's horses his chariots and his horsemen now it came to pass a warning was that the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and flour and he trouble the army of the Egyptians and he took off their chariot wheel so that they drove them with difficulty and the Egyptians said the Lord said to Moses stretch out your hand over the sea that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians and on their chariots and on their horsemen and Moses stretched out his hand over the sea one the morning of community the sea returns you told them while the Egyptians were fleeing into it Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea and the waters returned and covered the chariots the horsemen and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them not so much as one of them remained but the children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left so the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore thus Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done in Egypt so the people feared the Lord and believed the Lord and his servant Moses chapter 15 then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord and spoke saying I will sing to the Lord for he has triumphed gloriously the horse and it's rider he has thrown into the sea the Lord he is my strength and song and he has become my salvation he is my god and I will praise Him my father's God and I will exalt him the Lord is a man of war the Lord is his name Pharaoh's chariots and his army he is cast into the sea his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea the depths have covered them they sank to the bottom like a stone your right hand O Lord has become glorious in power your right hand O Lord has danced the enemy in pieces and in the greatness of your excellence you have overthrown those who rose against you you sent forth your wrath it consumed them like stubble and with the blast of your nostrils the waters were gone together the floods stood upright like a heap the depths congealed in the heart of the sea the enemy said I will pursue I will overtake I will divide the spoil my desire shall be satisfied on them I will draw my sword my hand shall destroy them you blew with your wind the sea covered them they sank like LED in the mighty waters who is like you o Lord among the gods who is like you glorious in holiness fearful and praises doing wonders you stretched out your right hand the earth swallowed them you in your mercy have led forth the people whom you have redeemed you have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation the people will hear and be afraid sorrow will take hold of the inhabitants of Philistia then the Chiefs of Edom will be dismayed mighty men of Moab trembling will take hold of them all the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away fear and dread will fall on them by the greatness of your arm they will be as still as a stone till your people pass over Oh Lord till the people pass over whom you have purchased you will bring them in and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance in the place Oh Lord which you have made for your own dwelling the sanctuary Oh Lord which your hands have established the Lord shall reign forever and ever for the horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea and the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea then Miriam the prophetess the sister of Aaron took the timbrel in her hand and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances and Miriam answered them sing to the Lord for he has triumphed gloriously the horse and it's rider he has thrown into the sea so Moses brought his reel from the Red Sea then they went out into the wilderness of Shur and they went three days in the wilderness and found no water now when they came to Marah they could not drink the water of murder for they were bitter therefore the name of it was called mater and the people complained against Moses saying what shall we drink so he cried out to the Lord and the Lord showed him a tree when he cast it into the waters the waters were made sweet there he made a statute and an ordinance for them and there he tested them and said if you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight he aveer to his Commandments and keep all his statutes I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians for I am the Lord who heals you then they came to Elam where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees so they camped there by the waters chapter 16 and they journeyed from Elim and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of scene which is between Elim and Sinai on the fifteenth day of the second month after they departed from the land of Egypt then the whole congregation of the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness and the children of Israel said to them we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to the full for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger then the Lord said to Moses behold I will rain bread from heaven for you and the people shall go out and gather a certain quarter every day that I may test them whether they will walk in my law or not and it shall be on the sixth day that they shall prepare what they bring in and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily then Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel an evening you shall know that the Lord has brought you out of the land of Egypt and in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord for he hears your complaints against the Lord but what are we that you complain against us also Moses said this shall be seen when the Lord gives you meat to eat in the evening and in the morning bread to the full for the Lord hears your complaints which you make against him and what are we your complaints are not against us but against the Lord then Moses spoke to Aaron say to all the congregation of the children of Israel come near before the Lord for he has heard your complaints now it came to pass his errand spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel that they looked toward the wilderness and behold the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud and the Lord spoke to Moses saying I have heard the complaints of the children of Israel speak to them saying at twilight you shall eat meat and in the morning you shall be filled with bread and you shall know that I am the Lord your God so it was that quails came up at evening and covered the camp and in the morning the dew lay all around the camp and when the layer of dew lifted there on the surface of the wilderness was a small round substance as fine as frost on the ground so when the children of Israel saw it they said to one another what is it well they did not know what it was and Moses said to them this is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat this is the thing which the Lord has commanded let every man gather it according to each one's needs one Omer for each person according to the number of persons let every man take for those who are in his tent then the children of Israel did so and gathered some more some less so when they measured it by OMERS he who had gathered much had nothing left over and he who had gathered little had no lack every man had gathered according to each one's need and Moses said let no one leave any of it till morning notwithstanding they did not heed Moses but some of them left part of it until morning and it bred worms and stank and Moses was angry with them so they gathered it every morning every man according to his need and when the Sun became hot it melted and so it was on the sixth day that they gathered twice as much bread to OMERS for each one and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses then he said to them this is what the Lord has said tomorrow is a Sabbath rest a holy Sabbath to the Lord bake what you will bake today and boil what you will boil and lay up for yourselves all that remains to be kept until morning so they laid it up till morning as Moses commanded and it did not stink nor were there any worms in it then Moses said eat that today for today is a Sabbath to the Lord today you will not find it in the field six days you shall gather it but on the seventh day the Sabbath there will be none now it happened that some of the people went out on the seventh day together but they found none and the Lord said to Moses how long do you refuse to keep my Commandments and my laws see while the Lord has given you the Sabbath therefore he gives you on the sixth day bread for two days let every man remain in his place let no man go out of his place on the seventh day so the people rested on the seventh day and the house of Israel called its name manna and it was like white coriander seed and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey then Moses said this is the thing which the Lord has commanded fill and Omer with it to be kept for your generations that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt and Moses said to Aaron take a pot and put an omer of manna in it and lay it up before the Lord to be kept for your generations as the LORD commanded Moses so Aaron laid it up before the testimony to be kept and the children of Israel ate manna forty years until they came to an inhabited land they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan now an Omer is one tenth of an ephah chapter 17 then all the congregation of the children of Israel set out on their journey from the wilderness of sin according to the commandment of the Lord and camp terrified him but there was no water for the people to drink therefore the people contended with Moses and said that we may drink so Moses said to them why do you contend with me why do you tempt the Lord and the people thirsted there for water and the people complained against Moses and said why is it you have brought us up out of Egypt to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst so Moses cried out to the Lord saying what shall I do with these people they are almost ready to stone me and the Lord said to Moses go on before the people and take with you some of the elders of Israel also taking your hand your rod with which you struck the river and go behold I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb and you shall strike the rock and water will come out of it that the people may drink and Moses did so on the side of the elders of Israel so he called the name of the place masa and Meribah because of the contention of the children of Israel and because they tempted the Lord saying is the Lord among us or not now Amala came and fought with his real in refugee Moses said to Joshua choose us some men and go out fight with amalek tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand so Joshua did as Moses said to him and fought with Amalek and Moses Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill and so it was when Moses held up his hand that Israel prevailed when he let down his hand Amalek prevailed but Moses hands became heavy so they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on Aaron and hor supported his hands one on one side and the other on the other side and his hands were steady until the going down of the Sun so Joshua defeated arm Allah and his people with the edge of the sword then the Lord said to Moses write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua that I will utterly blot out the membranes of Amalek from under heaven and Moses built an altar and called its name the Lord is my banner for he said because the Lord has sworn the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation chapter 18 and Jethro the priest of Midian Moses father-in-law heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel his people that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt then Jethro Moses father-in-law took Zipporah Moses wife after he had sent her back with her two sons of whom the name of one was Gershom for he said I have been a stranger in a foreign land and the name of the other was Eliezer for he said the god of my father was my help and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh and Jethro Moses father-in-law came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness where he was encamped at the mountain of God now he had said to Moses I your father-in-law Jethro and coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her so Moses went out to meet his father-in-law bowed down and kissed him and they asked each other about their well-being and they went into the tent and Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake all the hardship that had come upon them on the way and now the Lord had delivered them then Jethro rejoiced for all the good which the Lord had done for Israel whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians and Jethro said blessed be the Lord who has delivered you out of the hands of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh and who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians now I know that the Lord is greater than all the gods for in the very thing in which they behave proudly he was above them then Jethro Moses father-in-law took a burnt offering and other sacrifices to offer to God and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses father-in-law before God and so it was on the next day that Moses sat to judge the people and the people stood before Moses from morning until evening so when Moses father-in-law saw all that he did for the people he said what is this thing that you were doing for the people why do you allow sit and all the people stand before you from morning until evening and Moses said to his father-in-law because the people come to me to inquire of God when they have a difficulty they come to me and I judge between one and another and I make known the statutes of God and His laws so Moses father-in-law said to him the thing that you do is not good both you and these people who are with you will surely wear yourselves out well this thing is too much for you you are not able to perform it by yourself listen now to my voice I will give you counsel and God will be with you stand before God for the people so that you may bring the difficulties to God and you should teach them the statutes and the laws and show them the way in which they must walk and the work they must do moreover you shall select from all the people able men such as fear God men of truth hating covetousness and placed such over them to be rulers of thousands rulings of hundreds rulers of fifties and rulers of tens and let them judge the people at all times then it would be that every great matter they shall bring to you and every small matter they themselves shall judge so it would be easier for you for they will bear the burden with you if you do this thing and God so command you and you will be able to endure and all this people will also go to their place in peace so Moses heeded the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said and Moses chose able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people rulers of thousands rulers of hundreds rulers of fifties and rulers of tens so they judged the people at all times the hard cases they brought to Moses but they judged every small case themselves then Moses led his father-in-law depart and he went his way to his own land [Music] chapter 19 in the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt on the same day they came to the wilderness of Sinai while they had departed from referendum had come to the wilderness of Sinai and camped in the wilderness so Israel camped there before the matter and Moses went up to God and Lord called to him from the mountain saying thus you shall say to the house of Jacob and tell the children of Israel you have seen what I did to the Egyptians how I bore you on eagle's wings and brought you to myself now therefore if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant then you shall be a special treasure to me above all people for all the earth is mine and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation these are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel so Moses came and called for the elders of the people and laid before them all these words which the LORD commanded him then all the people answered together and said all that the Lord has spoken we will do so Moses brought back the words of the people to the Lord and the Lord said to Moses behold I come to you in the thick cloud that the people may hear when I speak with you and believe you forever so Moses told the words of the people to the Lord then the Lord said to Moses go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow and let them wash their clothes and let them be ready for the third day or on the third day the Lord will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people you shall set bounds for the people all around saying take heed to yourselves that you do not go up to the mountain or touch its base whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death not a hand shall touch him but he shall surely be stoned or shot with an arrow whether man or beast he shall not live when the trumpet sounds long they shall come near the mountain so Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified the people and they washed their clothes and he said to the people be ready for the third day do not come near your wives then it came to pass on the third day in the morning that there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud on the mountain and the sound of the trumpet was very loud so that all the people who were in the camp trembled and Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God and they stood at the foot of the month now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke because the Lord descended upon it in fire its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace and the whole mountain quaked greatly and when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder Moses spoke God answered him by voice then the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai on the top of the mountain the Lord called Moses to the top of the month and Moses went up and the Lord said to Moses go down and warn the people lest they break through to gaze at the Lord and many of them perish also let the priests to come near the Lord consecrate themselves lest the Lord break out against them but Moses said to the Lord the people cannot come up to Mount Sinai for you warned us saying set bounds around the mountain and consecrated and the Lord said to him away get down and then come up you and Aaron with you but do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to the Lord lest he break out against them so Moses went down to the people and spoke to them chapter xx and God spoke all these words saying I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt out of the house of bondage you shall have no other gods before me you shall not make for yourself a carved image any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth you shall not bow down to them nor serve them or I the Lord your God am a jealous God visiting the iniquity of the father's upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me but showing mercy to thousands to those who love me and keep my Commandments you shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy six days you shall labor and do all your work but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God in it you shall do no work you know your son nor your daughter nor your male servant nor your female servant nor your cattle nor your stranger who is within your gates for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth the sea and all that is in them and rested the seventh day therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it honor your father and your mother that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you you shall not murder you shall not commit adultery you shall not steal you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor you shall not covet your neighbor's house you shall not covet your neighbor's wife nor his male servant nor his female servant nor his ox nor his donkey nor anything that is your neighbors now all the people witnessed the thunderings the lightning flashes the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking and when the people saw it they trembled and stood afar off then they said to Moses you speak with us and we will hear but let not God speak with us lest we die and Moses said to the people do not fear for God has come to test you that his fear may be before you so that you may not sing so the people stood afar off but Moses drew near the thick darkness where God was then the Lord said to Moses thus you shall say to the children of Israel you have seen that I have talked with you from heaven you shall not make anything to be with me gods of silver or gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves an altar of Earth you shall make for me and you shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings your sheep and your oxen in every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you and if you make me an altar stone you shall not build it of hewn stone for if you use your tool on it

burn the remainder with fire it shall not be eaten because it is holy thus you shall do to Aaron and Suns according to all that I have commanded you seven days you shall consecrate them and you shall offer a bull every day as a sin offering for atonement you shall cleanse the altar when you make atonement for it and you shall anoint it to sanctify it seven days you shall make atonement for the

I will meet with the children of Israel and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory so I will consecrate the tabernacle of meeting and the altar I will also consecrate both Aaron and his sons to minister to me as priests I will dwell among the children of Israel and will be their God and they shall know that I am the Lord their God who brought them up out of the land of Egypt that I may

before the Lord throughout your generations you shall not offer a strange incense on it or a burnt offering or a grain offering or shall you pour a drink offering on it and Aaron shall make atonement upon its horns once a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once a year he shall make atonement upon it throughout your generations it is most holy to the Lord then the Lord spoke to Moses saying when you take the census of the children of Israel for their number then every man shall give a ransom for himself to the Lord when you number them that there may be no plague among them when you number them this is what every one among those who are numbered shall give half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary a shekel is Totti ghiras the half shekel shall be an offering to the Lord everyone included among those who are numbered from 20 years old and above shall give an offering to the Lord the rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel when you give an offering to the Lord to make atonement for yourselves and you shall take the atonement money of the children of Israel and shall appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of meeting that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord to make atonement for yourselves then the Lord spoke to Moses saying you shall also make a lever of bronze with its base also a bronze for washing you shall put it between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar and you shall put water in it for Aaron and his son shall wash their hands and their feet in water from it when they go into the tabernacle of meeting or when they come near the altar to minister to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord they shall wash with water lest they die so they shall wash their hands and their feet lest they die and it shall be a statute for ever to them to him and his descendants throughout their generations moreover the Lord spoke to Moses saying also take for yourself quality sponsors 500 shekels of liquid myrrh half as much sweet smelling cinnamon two hundred and fifty shekels two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling cane five hundred shekels of cassia according to the shekel of the sanctuary and a hand of olive oil you shall make from these a holy anointing oil an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer it shall be a holy anointing

that they may minister to me as priests and you shall speak to the children of Israel saying this shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations it shall not be poured on man's flesh nor shall you make any other like it according to its composition it is holy and it shall be holy to you whoever compounds any like it or whoever puts any of it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people and the Lord said to Moses take sweet spices stack tea and on Aicha and galbanum and pure frankincense with these sweet spices there shall be equal amounts of each you shall make of these and incense a compound according to the art of the perfumer salted pure and holy and you shall beat some of it very fine and put some of it before the testimony and the tabernacle of meeting where I will meet with you it shall be most holy to you but as for the incense which you shall make you shall not make any for yourselves according to its composition it shall be to you holy for the Lord whoever makes any like it to smell it he shall be cut off from his people chapter 31 then the Lord spoke to Moses saying see I have called by name Bezalel this of uriah the son of who of the tribe of juda and i have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom in understanding in knowledge and in all manner of workmanship to design artistic works to work in gold and silver in bronze in cutting jewels for setting and carving wood and to work in all manner of workmanship and I indeed I have appointed with him a holy of the son of a Hazama of the tribe of Dan and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the gifted artisans that they may make all that I have commanded you the tabernacle of meeting the Ark of the testimony and the mercy seat that is on it and all the furniture of the tabernacle the table and its utensils the pure gold lamb stand with all its utensils the altar of incense the altar of burnt-offering with all its utensils the lever and its base the garments of ministry the holy garments for aaron the priest and the garments of his sons to minister as priests and the anointing oil and sweet incense for the holy place according to all that i have commanded you they shall do and the Lord spoke to Moses saying speak also to the children of Israel saying surely my Sabbath's you shall keep for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations that you may know that I am the lord who sanctifies you you shall keep the Sabbath therefore for it is holy to you every one who profanes it shall surely be put to death for whoever does any work on it that person shall be cut off from among his people work shall be done for six days but the seventh is the sabbath of rest holy to the Lord whoever does any work on the Sabbath day he shall surely be put to death therefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath to observe the sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant it is a sign between me and the children of israel forever for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed and when he had made an end of speaking with him on mount sinai he gave Moses two tablets of the testimony tablets of stone written with a finger of God chapter xxxii now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain the people gathered together to Aaron and said to him come make us gods that shalt go before us for us for this Moses the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt we do not know what has become of him and Aaron said to them break off the golden earrings which are in the years ago wives your sons and your daughters and bring them to me so all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears and brought them to Aaron and he received the gold from their hand and he fashioned it with an engraving tool and made a molded calf then they said this is your God o Israel that brought you out of the land of Egypt so when Aaron saw it he built an altar before it Aaron made a proclamation and said tomorrow is a feast to the Lord and they rose early on the next day offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings and the people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play and the Lord said to Moses go get down for your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them they have made themselves a molded calf and worshiped it and sacrificed to it and said this is your God o Israel that brought you out of the land of Egypt and the Lord said to Moses I have seen this people and indeed it is a stiff-necked people now therefore let me alone that my wrath may burnhardt against them and I may consume them and I will make of you a great nation then Moses pleaded with the Lord his God and said Lord why does your wrath burn hot against your people whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand why should the Egyptians speak and say he brought them out to harm them to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth turn from your fierce wrath and relent from this harm to your people remember Abraham Isaac and Israel your servants to whom you swore by your own self and said to them I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven and all this land that I have spoken of I give to your descendants and they shall inherit it forever so the Lord relented from the harm which he said he would do to his people and Moses turned and went down from the mountain and the two tablets of the testimony were in his hand the tablets were written on both sides on the one side and on the other they were written now the tablets were the work of God and the writing was the writing of God engraved on the tablets and when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted he said to Moses there's a noise of war in the camp but he said it is not the noise of the shout of victory nor the noise of the cry of defeat but the sound of singing I hear so it was as soon as he came near the camp that he saw the calf and the dancing so Moses anger became hot and he cast the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain then he took the calf which they had made burned it in the fire and ground it to powder and he scattered in on the water and made the children of Israel drink it and Moses said to Aaron what did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them so Aaron said do not let the anger of my Lord become hot you know the people that they are set on you for they said to me make us dogs that shall go before us as for this Moses the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt we do not know what has become of him and I said to them whoever has any gold let him break it off so they gave it to me and I cast it into the fire and this calf came out now when Moses saw that the people were unrestrained for Aaron had not restrained them to their shame among their enemies then Moses stood in the entrance of the camp and said whoever is on the Lord's side come to me and all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to and he said to them thus says the Lord God of Israel let every man put his sword on his side and go in and out from entrance to entrance throughout the camp and let every man kill his brother every man his companion and every man his neighbor so the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses and about 3,000 men of the people fell that day then Moses said consecrate yourselves today to the Lord that he may bestow on you our blessing this day for every man has opposed his son and his brother now it came to pass on the next day that Moses said to the people you have committed a great sin so now I will go up to the Lord perhaps I can make atonement for your sin then Moses returned to the Lord and said oh these people have committed a great sin and have made for themselves a God of gold yet now if you will forgive their sin but if not I pray blot me out of your book which you have written and the Lord said to Moses whoever has sinned against me I will blot him out of my book now therefore go lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you behold my angel shall go before you nevertheless in the day when I visit for punishment I will visit punishment upon them for their sin so the Lord plagued the people because of what they did with the calf which Aaron made chapter 33 then the Lord said to Moses depart and go up from here you and the people whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt to the land of which I swore to Abraham Isaac and Jacob saying to your descendants I will give it and I will send my angel before you and I will drive out the Canaanite and the amorite and the hittite and the perizzite and the high light and the jebusite go up to a land flowing with milk and honey for I will not go up in your midst lest I consume you on the way for you are a stiff-necked people and when the people heard this bad news they mourned and no one put on his ornaments but the Lord had said to Moses say to the children of Israel you are a stiff-necked people I could come up into your midst in one moment and consume you now therefore take off your ornaments that I may know what to do to you so the children of Isreal stripped themselves of their ornaments by Mount Horeb Moses took his tent and pitched it outside the camp far from the camp and called it the tabernacle of meeting and it came to pass that everyone who sought the Lord went out to the tabernacle of meeting which was outside the camp so it was whenever Moses went out to the tabernacle that all the people rose and each man stood at his tent door and watched Moses until he had gone into the tabernacle and it came to pass when Moses entered the tabernacle that the pillar cloud descended and stood at the door of the tabernacle and the Lord talked with Moses all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the tabernacle door and all the people rose and worshipped each man in his tent door so the Lord spoke to Moses face to face as a man speaks to his friend and he would return to the camp but his servant Joshua the son of noon the young man did not depart from the tabernacle then Moses said to the Lord see you say to me bring up this people but you have not let me know whom you will send with me yet you have said I know you by name and you have also found grace in my sight now therefore I pray if I have found grace in your sight show me now your way that I may know you and that I may find grace in your sight and consider that this nation is your people and he said my presence will go with you and I will give you rest then he said to him if your presence does not go with us do not bring us up from here for how then will it be known that your people and I have found great in your sight except you go with us so shall we be separate your people and I from all the people who are upon the face of the earth so the Lord said to Moses I will also do this thing that you have spoken for you have found grace in my sight and I know you by name and he said please show me your glory then he said I will make all my goodness pass before you and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious and I we'll have compassion on whom I will have compassion but he said you cannot see my face for no man shall see me and live and the Lord said here is a place by me and you shall stand on the rock so it shall be while my glory passes by that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and will cover you with my hand while I pass by then I will take away my hand and you shall see my back but my face shall not be seen chapter 34 and the Lord said to Moses cut two tablets of stone like the first ones and I will write on these tablets of the words that were on the first tablets which you broke so be ready in the morning and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai and present yourself to me there on the top of the mountain no man shall come up with you let no man be seen throughout all the mountain let neither flocks nor herds feed before that mountain so he cut two tablets of stone like the first ones and Moses rose early in the morning and went up Mount Sinai as the Lord had commanded him and he took in his hand the two tablets of stone now the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there and proclaimed the name of the Lord the Lord passed before him and proclaimed the Lord the Lord God merciful and gracious long-suffering and abounding in goodness and truth keeping mercy for thousands forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin and no means clearing the guilty visiting the iniquity of the father's upon the children and the children's children to the third and the fourth generation so Moses made haste and bowed his head toward the earth and worshiped then he said if now I have found grace in your sight O Lord let my lord I pray go among us even though we are a stiff-necked people and pardon our iniquity and our sin and take us as your inheritance but he said behold I make a covenant before all your people I will do Marvel such as have not been all the earth nor in any nation all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord for it is an awesome thing that I will do with you observe what I command you this day behold I am driving out from before you the amorite and the Canaanite and the hittite and the perizzite and the high vite and the jebusite take heed to yourself lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going lest it be a snare in your midst but you shall destroy their altars break their sacred pillars and cut down their wooden images or you shall worship no other God for the Lord whose name is jealous is a jealous God lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land and they play the harlot with their guards and make sacrifice to their gods and one of them invites you and you eat of his sacrifice and you take of his daughters for your sons and his daughters play the harlot with their gods and make your sons play the harlot with their guns you shall make no molded gods for yourselves the feast of unleavened bread you shall keep seven days usual eat unleavened bread as I commanded you in the appointed time of the month of Abib for in the month of AV that you came out from Egypt all that opened the womb are mine and every male firstborn among your livestock whether ox or sheep but the firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb and if you will not redeem him then you shall break his neck all the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem a nun shall appear before me empty-handed six days you shall work but on the seventh day you shall rest in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest and you shall observe the feast of weeks of the firstfruits of wheat harvest and the feast of ingathering at the year's end three times in the year all your men shall appear before the Lord the Lord God of Israel for I will cast out the nations before you and enlarge your borders now that will any man covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in the year you shall not over the blood of my sacrifice with leaven nor shall the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover be left until morning the first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring to the house of the Lord your God you shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk then the Lord said to Moses write these words for according to the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel so he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights he neither ate bread nor drank water and he wrote on the tablets the words of the Covenant the Ten Commandments now it was so when Moses came down from Mount Sinai and the two tablets of the testimony were in Moses hand when he came down from the mountain that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him so when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses behold the skin of his face shown that they were afraid to come near him then Moses called to them and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him and Moses talked with him afterward all the children of Israel came near and he gave them as Commandments all that the Lord had spoken with him on Mount Sinai and when Moses had finished speaking with him he put a veil on his face but whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him he would take the veil off until he came out and he would come out and speak to the children of Israel whatever he had been commanded and whenever the children of Israel saw the face of Moses that the skin of Moses face shone then Moses would put the veil on his face again until he went in to speak with him chapter 35 then Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together and said to them these are the words which the Lord has commanded you to do work shall be done for six days but the seventh day shall be a holy day for you a Sabbath of rest to the Lord whoever does any work on it shall be put to death you shall Kindle no fire throughout your dwellings on the Sabbath day and Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel saying this is the thing which the law commanded saying take from among you an offering to the Lord whoever is of a willing heart let him bring it as an offering to the Lord gold silver and bronze blue purple and scarlet thread fine linen and goats hair Rams skins dyed red badger skins and acacia wood oil for the light and spices for the anointing oil

anointing oil and for the sweet incense the children of Israel brought a freewill offering to the Lord all the men and women whose hearts were willing to bring material for all kinds of work which the Lord at the hand of Moses had commanded to be done and Moses said to the children of Israel see the Lord has called by name Bezalel the son of uri the son of of the tribe of judah and he has filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom and understanding in knowledge and all manner of workmanship to design artistic works to work in gold and silver and bronze in cutting jewels for setting in

and do the work and they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of making the sanctuary so they continued bringing to him freewill

the service of the work which the LORD commanded us to do so Moses gave a commandment and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp saying let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary and the people were restrained from bringing for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be done indeed too much then all the gifted artisans among them who
