Bible Book 02. Exodus Complete 1-40, English Standard Version (ESV) Read Along Bible

Exodus Exodus 1 these are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob each with his household Reuben Simeon Levi and Judah Issachar Zebulun and Benjamin Dan and Naphtali GAD and Asher all the descendants of Jacob or 70 persons Joseph was already in Egypt then Joseph died and all his brothers and all that generation but the people of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong so that 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 behold the people of Israel are too many and too mighty for us come let us deal shrewdly with them lest they multiply and if war breaks out they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with heavy burdens they built for pharaoh store cities python and Rameses but the more they were oppressed the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad and the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel so they mule ously made the people of Israel work as slaves and made their lives bitter with hard service in mortar and brick and in all kinds of work in the field in all their work they ruthlessly made them work as slaves then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives one of whom was named Chiffre and the other purer when you serve as Midwife to the Hebrew women and see them on the birth stool if it is a son you shall kill him but if it is a daughter she shall live but the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them but let the male children live so the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them why have you done this and let the male children live the midwives said to Pharaoh because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women for they are vigorous and give birth before the Midwife comes to them so God dealt well with the midwives and the people multiplied and grew very strong and because the midwives feared God he gave them families then Pharaoh commanded all his people every son that is born to the Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile but you shall let every daughter live you Exodus to who now a man from the house of Levi went and took as his wife a Levite woman the woman conceived and bore a son and when she saw that he was a fine child she hid him three months when she could hide him no longer she took for him a basket made of bulrushes and daubed it with bitumen and pitch she put the child in it and placed it among the reeds by the riverbank and his sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river while her young women walked beside the river she saw the basket among the reeds and sent her servant and she took it when she opened it she saw the child and behold the baby was crying she took pity on him and said this is one of the Hebrews children then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter shall I go and call you a nurse from the Hebrew women turnest a child for you and Pharaoh's daughter said to her go so the girl went and called the child's mother and Pharaoh's daughter said to her take this child away and nurse him for me and I will give you your wages so the woman took the child and nursed him when the child grew up she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her sana she named him Moses because she said I drew him out of the water one day when Moses had grown up he went out to his people and looked on their burdens and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew one of his people he looked this way in that and seeing no one he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand when he went out the next day behold two Hebrews were struggling together and he said to the man in the wrong why do you strike your companion he answered who made you a prince and a judge over us do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian men Moses was afraid and thought surely the thing is known when Pharaoh heard of it he sought to kill Moses but Moses fled from Pharaoh and stayed in the land of Midian and he sat down by a well now the priest of Midian had seven daughters and they came and drew water and filled the troughs to water their father's flock the Shepherd's came and drove them away but Moses stood up and saved them and watered their flock when they came home to their father rule he said how is it that you have come home so soon today they said an Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the Shepherd's and even drew water for us and watered the flock he said to his daughters then where is it why have you left the man column that he may eat bread and Moses was content to dwell with the man and he gave Moses his daughter Zipporah she gave birth to a son and he called his name Gershom for he said I have been a soldier in a foreign land during those many days the king of Egypt died and the people of Israel grow no because of their slavery and cried out for help their cry for rescue from slavery came up to God and God heard their groaning and God remembered his covenant with Abraham with Isaac and with Jacob God saw the people of Israel and God knew you Exodus 3 now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro the priest of Midian and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb the mountain of God and the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush he looked and behold the bush was burning yet it was not consumed and Moses said I will turn aside to see this great sight why the bush is not burned when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see God called to him out of the bush Moses Moses and he said Here I am then he said do not come near take your sandals off your feet for the place in which you are standing is holy ground and he said I am the God of your father the God of Abraham the god of Isaac and the God of Jacob and Moses hid his face for he was afraid to look at God then the Lord said I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters I know their sufferings and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good in broad land a land flowing with milk and honey to the place of the Canaanites the Hittites the amirite the Perizzites the Hivites and the Jebusites and now behold the cry of the people of Israel has come to me and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them come 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 bring the children of Israel out of Egypt he said but I will be with you and this shall be the sign for you that I have sent you when you have brought the people out of Egypt you shall serve God on this mountain then Moses said to God if I come to the people of Israel and say to them the god of your father's has sent me to you and they asked me what is his name what should I say to them God said to Moses I am Who I am and he said say this to the people of Israel I am has sent me to you God also said to Moses say this to the people of Israel the Lord the 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 thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them the Lord the God of your father's the God of Abraham of Isaac and of Jacob has appeared to me saying I have observed you and what has been done to you in Egypt and I promised that I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites the Hittites the amorite s' the Perizzites the Hivites and the Jebusites a land flowing with milk and honey and they will listen to your voice and you and the elders of Israel shall go to the king of Egypt and say to him the Lord the God of the Hebrews has met with us and now please let us go a three days journey into wilderness that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God but I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go and less compelled by a mighty hand so I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all the wonders that I will do in it after that he will let you go and I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians and when you go you shall not go empty but each woman shall ask of her neighbor and any woman who lives in her house for silver and gold jewelry and for clothing you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters so you shall plunder the Egyptians you Exodus for then Moses answered but behold they will not believe me or listen to my voice for they will say the Lord did not appear to you the Lord said to him what is that in your hand he said a staff and he said throw it on the ground so he threw it on the ground and it became a serpent and Moses ran from it but the Lord said to Moses put out your hand and catch it by the tail so he put out his hand and caught it and it became a staff in his hand that they may believe that the Lord the God of their fathers the God of Abraham the god of Isaac and the God of Jacob has appeared to you again the Lord said to him put your hand inside your cloak and he put his hand inside his cloak and when he took it out behold his hand was leprous like snow then God said put your hand back inside your cloak so he put his hand back inside his cloak and when he took it out behold it was restored like the rest of his flesh if they will not believe you God said or listen to the first sign they may believe the latter sign if they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice you shall take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground and the water that you shall take from the now will become blood on the dry ground but Moses said to the Lord oh my lord I am NOT eloquent either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant but I am slow of speech and of tongue then the Lord said to him who has made man's mouth who makes him mute or death or seeing or blind is it not I the Lord now therefore go and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak but he said oh my lord please send someone else then the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses and he said is there not Aaron your brother the Levite I know that he can speak well behold he is coming out to meet you and when he sees you he will be glad in his heart you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth and I will be with your mouth and with his mouth and will teach you both what to do he shall speak for you to the people and he shall be your mouth and you shall be as God to him and taken your hand the staff with which you should do the signs Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him please let me go back to my brothers in Egypt to see whether they are still alive and Jethro said to Moses go in peace and the Lord said to Moses in Midian go back to Egypt for all the men who were seeking your life are dead so Moses took his wife and his sons and had them ride on the donkey and went back to the land of Egypt and Moses took the staff of God in his hand and the Lord said to Moses when you go back to Egypt see that you do before Pharaoh all the miracles that I had put in your power 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 firstborn son and I say to you let my son go that he may serve me if you refuse to let him go behold I will kill your firstborn son at a lodging place on the way the Lord met him and sought to put him to death then Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses feet with it and said surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me so he let him alone it was then that she said a bridegroom of blood because of the circumcision the Lord said to Aaron go into the wilderness to meet Moses so he went and met him at the mountain of God and kissed him and Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord with which he had sent him to speak and all the signs that he had commanded him to do then Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the people of Israel Aaron spoke all the words that the Lord had spoken to Moses and did the signs in the sight of the people and the people believed and when they heard that the Lord had visited the people of Israel and that he had seen their reflection they bowed their heads and worshiped you Exodus 5 afterward Moses and Aaron went and said to Pharaoh thus says the Lord the God of Israel let my people go that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness but Pharaoh said who is the Lord that I should obey his voice and let Israel go I do not know the Lord and moreover I will not let Israel go then they said the God of the Hebrews has met with us please let us go a three days journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword but the king of Egypt said to them Moses and Aaron why do you take the people away from their work get back to your burdens and pharaoh said the whole the people of the land are now many and you make them rest for their Berklee's the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foreman you shall no longer give the people straw to make bricks as in the past let em go and gather straw for themselves but the number of bricks that they made in the past you shall impose on them you shall by no means reduce it but they are highly therefore they cry let us go and offer sacrifice to our God let heavier work be laid on the men that they may labor at it and pay no regard to Zion words so the task masters and the foreman of the people went out and said to the people thus says Pharaoh I will not give you straw go and get your straw yourselves whoever you can find it but your work will not be reduced in the least so the people were scattered throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw the taskmasters were urgent saying complete your work your daily tasks each date as when there was strong and the foreman of the people of Israel whom Pharaoh's task masters had said over them were be and were asses why have you not done all your task of making Rick's today and yesterday as in the past then the foreman of the people of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh why do you treat your servants like this no straw is given to your servants yet they say to us make bridge and behold your servants are beaten but the fault is in your own people but he said sure idol your idol that is why you say let us go and sacrifice to the Lord come now and look no straw will be given you but you must still deliver the same number of bricks the foreman of the people of Israel saw that they were in trouble when they said you shall by no means reduce your number of bricks your daily tasks each day they met Moses and Aaron who were waiting for them as they came out from Pharaoh they said to them the Lord look on you and judge because you have made a stink on the side of Pharaoh and his servants and have put a sword in their hand to kill us then Moses turned to the Lord and said o Lord why have you done evil to this people why did you ever send me or since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name he has done evil to this people and you have not delivered your people at all you Exodus 6 but now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh for with a strong hand he will send them out and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land 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 the Lord I did not make myself known to them I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan the land in which they lived as sojourners moreover I have heard the groaning of the people of Israel whom the Egyptians hold as slaves and I have remembered my covenant say therefore to the people of Israel I am the Lord and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians and I will deliver you from slavery to them and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment I will take you to be my people and I will be your God and you shall know that I am the Lord your God who has brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob I will give it to you for a possession I am the Lord Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel but they did not listen to Moses because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery so the Lord said to Moses go in tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the people of Israel go out of his land but Moses said to the Lord behold the people of Israel have not listened to me how then shall Pharaoh listen to me for I am of uncircumcised lips but the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge about the people of Israel and about Pharaoh king of Egypt to bring the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt these are the heads of their fathers houses the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel hey

bringing out the people of israel from egypt this Moses and this area on the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt the Lord said to Moses I am the Lord tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you but Moses said to the Lord behold I am up uncircumcised ellipsis how will Pharaoh listen to me you Exodus seven and the Lord said to Moses see I have made you like God Pharaoh and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet you shall speak all that I command you and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go out of his land but I will harden Pharaoh's heart and though I multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt Pharaoh will not listen to you then I will lay my hand on Egypt and bring my hosts my people the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgement the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring out the people of Israel from among them Moses and Aaron did so they did just as the LORD commanded them now Moses was 80 years old in Aaron 83 years old when they spoke to Pharaoh then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron when Pharaoh says to you prove yourselves by working a miracle then you shall say to Aaron take your staff and cast it down before Pharaoh that it may become a serpent so Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD commanded Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants and it became a serpent then Pharaoh summoned the wise men and the sorcerers and they the magician's of Egypt also did the same by their secret arts for each man cast down his staff and they became serpents but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs still Pharaoh's heart was hardened and he would not listen to them as the Lord had said then the Lord said to Moses Darrow's heart is hardened he refuses to let the people go go to Pharaoh in the morning as he is going out to the water stand on the bank of the Nile to meet him and take in your hand the stab that turned into a serpent and you shall say to him the Lord the God of the Hebrews sent me to you saying let my people go that they may serve me in the wilderness but so far you have not obeyed thus says the Lord by this you shall know that I am the Lord behold with the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water that is in the Nile in it shall turn into blood the fish in the Nile shall die and the Nile will stink and the Egyptians will grow weary of drinking water from the Nile and the Lord said to Moses say to Aaron take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt over their rivers their canals and their ponds and all their pools of water so that they may become blood and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt even in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants he lifted up the staff and struck the water in the Nile and all the water in the Nile turned into blood and the fish in the Nile died in the Nile stank so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt but the magician's of Egypt did the same by their secret arts so Pharaoh's heart remained hardened and he would not listen to them as the Lord had said Pharaoh turned and went into his house and he did not take even this to heart and all the Egyptians dug along the Nile for water to drink for they could not drink the water of the Nile seven full days passed after the Lord had struck the Nile you Exodus 8 then the Lord said to Moses go into 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 plague all your country with rocks the Nile shall swarm with frogs that shall come up into your house and into your bedroom and on your bed and into the houses of your servants and your people and into your ovens and your kneading bowls the frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your servants and the Lord said to Moses say to Aaron stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers over the canals and over the pools and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt so Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt but the magicians did the same by their secret arts and made frogs come up on the land of Egypt then Pharaoh called Moses in Haran and said she'd with the Lord to take away the frogs for me and from my people and I will let the people go to sacrifice to the Lord Moses said to Pharaoh be pleased to command me when I am to plead for you and for your servants and for your people that the frogs be cut off from you and your houses and be left only in the Nile and he said tomorrow Moses said be as you say so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God the Frog shall go away from you and your houses and your servants and your people they shall be left only in the Nile so Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh and Moses cried to the Lord about the frogs as he had agreed with Pharaoh and the Lord did according to the word of Moses the frogs died out in the houses the courtyards and the fields and they gathered them together in heaps and the land stank but when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite he hardened his heart and would not listen to them as the Lord had said then the Lord said to Moses say to Aaron stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth so that it may become nets in all the land of Egypt and they did so Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth and there were gnats on man and beast all the dust of the earth became gnats in all the land of Egypt the magicians tried by their secret arts to produce gnats but they could not so there were gnats on man and beast then the magician said to Pharaoh this is the finger of God but Pharaoh's heart was hardened and he would not listen to them as the Lord had said then the Lord said to Moses rise up early in the morning and present yourself to Pharaoh as he goes out to the water and say to him thus says the Lord let my people go that they may serve me or else if you will not let my people go behold I will send swarms of flies on you and your servants and your people and into your houses and the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with swarms of flies and also the ground in which they stand but on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen where my people dwell so that no swarms of flies shall be there that you may know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth thus I will put a division between my people and your people tomorrow this sign shall heaven and the Lord did so there came great swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh and into his servants houses throughout all the land of Egypt the land was ruined by the swarms of flies then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said go sacrificed to your God within the land of Moses said it would not be right to do so but the offerings we shall sacrifice to the Lord our God are an abomination to the Egyptians if we sacrifice offerings abominable to the Egyptians before their eyes will they not stone us we must go three days journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God as he tells us so Pharaoh said I will let you go to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness only you must not go very far away for me then Moses said the old I am going out from you and I will plead with the Lord that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh from his servants and from his people tomorrow only let not Pharaoh cheat again by not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord so Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord and the Lord did as Moses asked and removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh from his servants and from his people not one remained but Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also and did not let the people go you Exodus 9 then the Lord said to Moses go into vero and say to him thus says the Lord the God of the Hebrews let my people go that they may serve me for if you refused to let them go and still hold them behold the hand of the Lord will fall with a very severe plague upon your livestock that are in the field the horses the donkeys the camels the herds and the flocks but the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt so that nothing of all that belongs to the people of Israel shall die and the Lord said a time saying tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land and the next day the Lord did this thing all the livestock of the Egyptians died but not one of the livestock of the people of Israel done and Pharaoh sent and behold not one of the livestock of Israel was dead but the heart of Pharaoh was hardened and he did not let the people go and the Lord said to Moses and Aaron take handfuls of sitt from the kiln and let Moses throw them in the air in the sight of Pharaoh it shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt and become boils breaking out in sores on man and beast throughout all the land of Egypt so they took soot from the kilning and stood before Pharaoh and Moses threw it in the air and it became boils breaking out in sores on man and the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils for the boils came upon the magicians and upon all the Egyptians but the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh and he did not listen to them as the Lord had spoken to Moses then the Lord said to Moses rise up early in the morning and present herself before Pharaoh and say to him thus says the Lord the God of the Hebrews let my people go that they may serve me for this time I will send all my plagues on you yourself and on your servants and your people so that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth for by now I could have put out my hand and struck you and your people with pestilence and you would have been cut off from the earth but for this purpose I have raised you up to show you my power so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth you are still exalting yourself against my people and will not let them go behold about this time tomorrow I will cause very heavy hail to fall such as never has been in Egypt from the day it was founded until now now therefore send get your livestock and all that you have in the field into safe shelter for every man and beast that is in the field and is not brought home will die when the hill falls on them then whoever feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh hurried his slaves and his livestock into the houses but whoever did not pay attention to the word of the Lord left his slaves and his livestock in the field then the Lord said to Moses stretch out your hand toward heaven so that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt on man and beast and every plant of the field in the land of Egypt then Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven and the Lord sent thunderin and fire ran down to the earth and the Lord rain hail upon the land of Egypt there was hail and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail very heavy hail such as had never been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation the hail struck down everything that was in the field in all the land of Egypt both man and beast and the hail struck down every plant of the field and broke every tree of the field only in the land of Goshen where the people of Israel were was there no hail then Pharaoh sent and called Moses and Aaron and said to them this time I have sinned the Lord is in the writer and I and my people are in the wrong plead with the Lord for there has been enough of gods thunder and hail I will let you go and usual stay no longer Moses said to him as soon as I have gone out of the city I will stretch out my hands to the Lord the Thunder will cease and there will be no more hail so that you may know that the earth is the Lord's but as for you and your servants I know that you do not yet get fear the Lord God the flax and the barley were struck down for the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bud but the wheat and the Emmer were not struck down for their late in coming up so Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and stretched out his hands to the Lord and the thunder and the hail ceased and the rain no longer poured upon the earth but when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the Thunder had ceased he sinned yet again and hardened his heart he and his servants so the heart of Pharaoh was hardened and he did not let the people of Israel go just as the Lord had spoken through Moses you Exodus Tannen then the Lord said to Moses go into Barrow for I have hardened his heart in the heart of his servants that I may show these sides of mine among them and that you may tell in the hearing of your son and of your grandson how I have dealt harshly with the Egyptians and what signs I had done among them that you may know that I am the Lord so Moses and Aaron went into Pharaoh and said to him thus says the Lord the God of the Hebrews how long will you refuse to humble yourself before me that's my people go that they may serve me but if you refuse to let my people go behold tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country and they shall cover the face of the land so that no one can see the land and they shall eat what is left to you after the hail and they shall eat every tree of yours that grows in the field and they shall fill your houses as the houses of all your servants and of all the Egyptians as neither your father's no your grandfather's have seen from the day they came on earth to this day then 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 understand that Egypt is ruined so Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh and he said to them go serve the Lord your God but which ones are to go Moses said we will go with our young and our old we will go with our sons and daughters and with our flocks and herds for we must hold a feast to the Lord but he said to them the hold me with you if ever I let you and your little ones look you have some evil purpose in mind no go the men among you and serve the Lord for that is what you are asking and they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence then the Lord said to Moses stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts so that they may come upon the land of Egypt and eat every plant in the land all that the hail has left so Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day and all that night when it was morning the east wind had brought the locusts the locusts came up over all the land of Egypt and settled on the whole country of Egypt such a dense swarm of locusts as had never been before nor ever will be again they covered the face of the whole land so that the land was dark and they ate all the plants in the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left not a green thing remained neither tree nor plant of the field through all the land of Egypt then Pharaoh hastily called Moses and Aaron and said I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you and how therefore forgive my sin please only this once and plead with the Lord your God only to remove this death from me so he went out from Pharaoh and pleaded with the Lord and the Lord turned the wind into a very strong west wind which lifted the locusts and drove them into the Red Sea not a single locust was left in all the country of Egypt but the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart and he did not let the people 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 a darkness to be felt so Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven and there was pitch 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 people of Israel have liked where they lived then Pharaoh called Moses and said go serve the Lord your little ones also may go with you only let your flocks and your herds remain behind but Moses said you must also let us have sacrifices and burnt offerings that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God our livestock also must go with us not a hoof shall be left behind for we must take of them to serve the Lord our God and we do not know with what we must serve the Lord until we arrive there but the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart and he would not let them go and Pharaoh said to him get away from me take care never to see my face again for on the day you see my face you shall die Moses said as you say I will not see your face again you Exodus 11 the Lord said to Moses yet one plague more I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt afterward he will let you go from here when he lets you go he will drive you away completely speak now in the hearing of the people that they ask every man of his neighbor and every woman of her neighbor for silver and gold jewelry and the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt in the sight of Pharaoh's servants and in the sight of the people so Moses said thus says the Lord about midnight I will go out in the midst of Egypt and every person in the land of Egypt shall die from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind a hand mill and all the first one of the cattle there shall be a great crime throughout all the land of Egypt such as there has never been nor ever will be again but not a dog shall growl against any of the people of Israel either man or beast that you may know that the Lord makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel and all these your servants shall come down to me and bow down to me say get out you and all the people who follow you and after that I will go out and he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger then the Lord said to Moses there Oh will not listen to you that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh and the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart and he did not let the people of Israel go out of his land you you Exodus 12 the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt this month shall be for you the beginning of months it shall be the first month of the year for you tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers houses a lamb for a household and if the household is too small for a lamb then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb your lamb shall be without blemish a male a year old you may take it from the sheep or from the goats and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month when the whole Assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at Twilight then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the tooth doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it they shall eat the flesh that night roasted on the fire with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water but roasted its head with its legs and its inner parts and you shall let none of it remain until the morning anything that remains until the morning you shall burn in this manner you shall eat it with your belt fastened your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand and you shall eat it in haste it is the Lord's Passover for I will pass through the land of Egypt that night and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt both man and beast and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments I am the law the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are and when I see the Blood I will pass over you and no plague will befall you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt this day shall be for you a Memorial Day and you shall keep it as a piece to the Lord throughout your generations as a statue for every we shall keep it as a feast seven days you shall eat unleavened bread on the first day you shall remove leaven out of your houses for if anyone eats what is leaven from the first day until the seventh day that person shall be cut off from Israel on the first day you shall hold a holy assembly and on the seventh day a holy assembly no work shall be done on those days but what everyone needs to eat that along may be prepared by you and you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread for on this very day I brought your host out of the land of Egypt therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as a statute for ever in the first month from the fourteenth day of the month at evening you shall eat unleavened bread until the 21st day of the month at evening for seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses if anyone eats what is leavened that person will be cut off from the congregation of Israel whether he is a sojourner or a native of the land you shall eat nothing leavened in all your dwelling places you shall eat unleavened bread then Moses called all the elders of Israel and said to them go and select lambs for yourselves according to your clans and kill the Passover lamb take a bunch of hisses and dip it in the blood that is in the basin and touch the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin's none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning for the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians and when he seized the blood on the lintel and on the two door posts the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you you shall observe this right as a statute for you and for your sons for ever ever and when you come to the land that the Lord will give you as he has promised you shall keep this service and when your children say to you what do you mean by this services you shall say it is the sacrifice of the Lord's Passover for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses and the people bowed their heads and worshiped then the people of Israel went and did so as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron so they did at midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon and all the firstborn of the livestock and Pharaoh rose up in the night he and all his servants and all the Egyptians and there was a great cry in Egypt for there was not a house where someone was not dead then he summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said o go out from among my people both you and the people of Israel and go serve the Lord as you have said take your flocks and your herds as you have said and begone and release me although the Egyptians were urgent with the people to 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 leavened their kneading balls being bound up in their cloaks on their shoulders the people of Israel had also done as Moses told me for they had asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry and for clothing and the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians so that they let them have what they asked thus they plundered the Egyptians and the people of Israel journeyed from Ramses to Sukkoth about 600,000 men on foot besides women and children a mixed multitude also went up with them and very much livestock both flocks and herds and they baked unleavened cakes of the dough that they had brought out of Egypt for it was not leaven because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not wait nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves the time that the people of Israel lived in Egypt was 430 years at the end of 430 years on that very day all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt it was a night of watching by the Lord to bring them out of the land of Egypt so this same night is a night of watching kept to the Lord by all the people of Israel throughout their generations and the Lord said to Moses and Aaron this is the statute of the Passover know for inertial eat of it but every slave that is bought for money may eat of it after you have circumcised him no foreigner are hired servant may eat of it it shall be eaten in one house you shall not take any of the flesh outside the house and you shall not break any of its bones all the congregation of Israel shall keep it if a stranger shall sojourn with you and would keep the Passover to the Lord let all his males be circumcised then he may come near and keep it he shall be as a native of the land but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it there shall be one law for the native and for the stranger who sojourn among you all the people of Israel did just as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron and on that very day the Lord brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts you Exodus 13 the Lord said to Moses consecrate to me all the firstborn whatever is the first to open the womb among the people of Israel both of man and of beasts is mine then Moses said to the people remember this day in which you came out from Egypt out of the house of slavery for by a strong hand the Lord brought you out from this place no leavened bread shall be eaten today in the month of Abib you are going out and when the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites the Hittites the amorite the Hivites and the Jebusites which he swore to your father's to give you a land flowing with milk and honey 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 for seven days no leavened bread shall be seen with you and no leaven shall be seeking you in all your territory you shall tell your son on that name it is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt and it shall be to you as a sign on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth for with a strong hand the Lord has brought you out of Egypt you shall therefore keep this statue at its appointed time from year to year when the Lord brings you into the land of the canaanites as he swore to you and your fathers and shall give it to you you shall set apart to the Lord all that first opens the womb all the firstborn of your animals that are males shall be the lord's every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with the lamb or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck every firstborn of man among Suns usually deep and when in time to come your son asks you what does this mean you shall say to him by a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt from the house of slavery for when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go the Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of animals therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all the male's that first opened the womb but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem it shall be as a mark on your hand or frontlets between your eyes for by a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt when Pharaoh let the people go God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines although that was near for God said lest the people change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt but God led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea and the people of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt equipped for battle Moses took the bones of Joseph with him for Joseph had made the sons of Israel solemnly swear saying God will surely visit you and you shall carry up my bones with you from here and they moved on from Sukkoth and encamped at Ethan on the edge of the wilderness and the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light that they might travel by day and by night the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people you Exodus 14 then the Lord said to Moses tell the people of Israel to turn back and encamped in front of Pyrrha between McDole and the sea in front of bales Ethan you shall encamped facing it by the sea for Pharaoh will save the people of Israel they are wandering in the land the wilderness has shut them in and I will harden Pharaoh's heart and he will pursue them and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his hosts and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord and they did so when the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled the mind of Pharaoh and his servants was changed toward the people and they said what is this we have done that we have let Israel go from serving us so he made ready his chariot and took his army with him and took six hundred chosen chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt with officers over all of them and the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt and he pursued the people of Israel while the people of Israel were going out to finally the Egyptians pursued them all Pharaoh's horses and chariots and his horsemen and his army and overtook them and camped at the sea by pie ha IRA's in front of bales even when Pharaoh drew near the people of Israel lifted up their eyes and behold the Egyptians were marching after them and they feared greatly and the people of Israel cried out to the Lord they said to Moses is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you've taken us away to die in the wilderness what have you done to us and bringing us out of Egypt is not this what we said to you in Egypt leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians for would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness and Moses said to the people fear not stand firm and see the salvation of the Lord which he will work for you today for the Egyptians whom you see today you shall never see again the Lord will fight for you and you have only to be silent the Lord said to Moses why do you cry to me tell the people of Israel to go forward lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground and I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they shall go in after them and I will get glory over there oh and all his hosts his chariots and his horsemen and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord when I have gotten glory over Pharaoh his chariots and his horsemen then the angel of God who was going before the hosts of Israel moved and went behind them and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them coming between the hosts of Egypt and the hosts of Israel and there was the cloud in the darkness and it lit up the night without one coming near the other all night then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea and the Lord drove the sea backed by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land and the waters were divided and the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on a dry ground the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their the Egyptians pursue and went in after them into the midst of the sea all Pharaoh's horses his chariots and his horsemen and in the morning watch the Lord in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down on the Egyptian forces and through the Egyptian forces into a panic clogging their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily and the Egyptians said let us flee from before Israel for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians then the Lord said to Moses stretch out your hand over the sea that the water may come back upon the Egyptians upon their chariots and upon their horsemen so Moses stretched out his hand over the sea and the sea returned to its normal course when the morning appeared and as the Egyptians fled into it the Lord through the Egyptians into the midst of the sea the waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen of all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea not one of them remained but the people of Israel walked on dry ground through the sea the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their leg thus the Lord saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore Israel saw the great power that the Lord used against the Egyptians so the people feared the Lord and they believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses you Exodus 15 then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord saying I will sing to the Lord for he has triumphed gloriously the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea the Lord is my strength in my song and he has become my salvation this is my god and I will praise him my father's God and I will exalt him the Lord is a man of war the Lord is his name Pharaoh's chariots and his hosts he cast into the sea and his chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea the floods covered them they went down into the depths like a stone your right hand allure glorious and power your right hand O Lord shatters the enemy and the greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries you send out your fury it consumes them like stubble at the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up the floods stood up in a heap the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea the enemy said I will pursue I will overtake I will divide the spoil my desire shall have its feel of them I will draw my sword my hand shall destroy them you blew with your wind the sea covered them they sink like lead in the mighty waters who is like you O Lord among the gods who is like you majestic and holiness awesome and glorious deeds doing wonders you stretched out your right hand the earth swallowed them you have led in your steadfast love the people who you have redeemed you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode the peoples have they tremble pains have seized the inhabitants of Philistia now are the Chiefs of Edom dismayed trembling seizes the leaders of Moab all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away terror and dread fall upon them because of the greatness of your arm they are still as a stone till your people o Lord pass by till the people pass by whom you have purchased you will bring them in and plant them on your own Mountain the place o Lord which you have made for your abode the sanctuary o Lord which your hands have established the Lord will reign for ever and ever for when the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea then Miriam the prophetess the sister of Aaron took a tambourine in her hand and all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing and Miriam sang to them sing to the Lord for he has triumphed gloriously the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea then Moses made Israel set out from the Red Sea and they went into the wilderness of Shur they went three days in the wilderness and found no water when they came to Mara they could not drink the water of Mara because it was bitter and therefore it was named mayor and the people grumbled against Moses saying what shall we drink and he cried to the Lord the Lord showed him a log and he threw it into the water and the water became sweet there the Lord made for them a statute and a rule and there he tested them saying if you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God and do that which is right in his eyes and give ear to His commandments and keep all his statutes I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians for I am the Lord your healer then they came to Ely where there were twelve Springs of water and seventy palm trees and they encamped there by the water [Music] you Exodus 16 they set out from Elim and all the congregation of the people of Israel came to the wilderness of sin which is between Elim and Sinai on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had departed from the land of Egypt and the whole congregation of the people of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness and the people of Israel said to them by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt when we separate the meat pots and bread to the food then the Lord said to Moses behold I am about to rain bread from heaven for you and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day that I may test them whether they will walk in my law or not on the sixth day when they prepare what they bring in it will be twice as much as they gather daily so Moses and Aaron said to all the people of Israel that evening you shall know that it was the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt and in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord because he has heard your grumbling against the Lord what are we that you grumble against us and Moses said when the Lord gives you in the evening meat to eat and in the morning bread to the full because the Lord has heard your grumbling that you grumbled against him what are we your grumbling is not against us but against the Lord then Moses said to Aaron say to the whole congregation of the people of Israel come near before the Lord for he has heard your grumbling and as soon as Aaron spoke to the congregation of the people of Israel they look toward the wilderness and behold the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud and the Lord said to Moses I have heard the grumbling of the people of Israel say to them at twilight you shall eat meat and in the morning you shall be filled with bread then you shall know that I am the Lord your God in the evening Quayle came up and covered the camp and in the morning dew' lay around the camp and when the dew had gone up there was on the face of the wilderness a fine flake like thing finest frost on the ground when the people of Israel saw it they said to one another what is it but they did not know what it was and Moses said to them it is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat this is what the Lord has commanded gather of it each one of you as much as he can eat you shall each take an Omer according to the number of the persons that each of you has in his tent and the people of Israel did so they gathered some more some less but when they measured it with an Omer whoever gathered much had nothing left over and whoever gathered little had no lack each of them gathered as much as he could eat and Moses said to them let no one leave any of it over until the morning but they did not listen to Moses some left part of it till the morning and it bred worms and stagnant and Moses was angry with them morning by morning they gathered in each as much as he could eat but when the Sun grew hot it melted on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread to OMERS each and when all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses he said to them this is what the Lord has commanded tomorrow is a day of solemn rest a holy Sabbath to the Lord bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil and all that is left over lay aside to be kept till the morning so they laid it aside till the morning as Moses commanded them and it did not sting and there were no worms in it Moses said eat it 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 which is a Sabbath there will be none on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather but they found none and the Lord said to Moses how long will you refuse to keep my Commandments in my laws see the Lord has given you the Sabbath therefore on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days remain each of you in his place let no one go out of his place on the seventh day so the people rested on the seventh day now the house of Israel called its name manna it was like coriander seed white and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey Moses said this is what the Lord has commanded let an Omer of it be kept throughout your generations so that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt and Moses said to Aaron take a jar and put an or of Manahan and place it before the Lord to be kept throughout your generations as the LORD commanded Moses so Aaron placed it before the testimony to be kept the people of Israel ate the man of 40 years till they came to a habitable land they ate the manna till they came to the border of the land of Canaan and Omer is the tenth part of an ephah you Exodus 17 all the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of sin by stages according to the commandment of the Lord and camped at reffered him but there was no water for the people to drink therefore the people quarrel with Moses and said give us water to drink and Moses said to them why do you quarrel with me why do you test the Lord but the people thirsted there for water and the people grumbled against Moses so Moses cried to the Lord what shall I do with this people they are almost ready to stone me and the Lord said to Moses Hassan before the people taking with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile and go behold I will stand before you there on the rocket Horeb and you shall strike the rock and water shall come out of it and the people will drink and Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel and he called the name of the place masa and Meribah because of the quarreling of the people of Israel and because they tested the Lord by saying is the Lord among us or not then Amalek came and fought with Israel at reffered him so Moses said to Joshua choose for us men and go out and fight with Emelec tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with a staff of God in my hand so Joshua did as Moses told him and fought with Amalek while Moses Aaron and her went up to the top of the hill whenever Moses held up his hand Israel prevailed and whenever he lowered his hand Amalek prevailed but Moses hands grew weary so they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it while Aaron and her held up his hands one on one side and the other on the other side so his hands were steady until the going down of the Sun and Joshua overwhelmed amalek and his people with the sword then the Lord said to Moses write this as a memorial in a book and recited in the ears of Joshua that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven and Moses built an altar and called the name of it the Lord is my banner saying a hand upon the throne of the Lord the Lord will have war with a millennium from generation to generation you Exodus 18 throw the priest of Midian Moses father-in-law heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel his people how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt now Jethro Moses father-in-law had taken Zipporah Moses wife after he had sent her a home along with her two saunas the name of the one was Gershom for he said I have been a soldier in a foreign land and the name of the other Eliezer for he said the god of my father was my help and delivered me from the sword of feral 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 and when he sent word to Moses I your father-in-law Jethro am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him and they asked each other of their welfare and went into the tent then Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's saving all the hardship that had come upon them in the way and how the Lord had delivered them and Jethro rejoiced for all the good that the Lord had done to Israel in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians Jethro said blessed be the Lord who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of forum and has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods because in this affair they dealt arrogantly with the people and Jethro Moses father-in-law brought a burnt offering and sacrifices to God and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses father-in-law before God the next day Moses said to judge the people and the people stood around Moses from morning till evening when Moses father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people he said what is this that you are doing for the people why do you sit alone and all the people stand around you from morning till evening and Moses said to his father-in-law because the people come to me to inquire of God when they have a dispute they come to me and I decide between one person and another and I make them know the statues of God and his laws Moses father-in-law said to him what you are doing is not good you and the people with you will certainly wear yourselves out for the thing is too heavy for you you are not able to do it alone now obey my voice I will give you advice and God be with you you shall represent the people before God and bring their cases to God and you shall warn them about the statutes and the laws and make them know the way in which they must walk and what they must do moreover look for able men from all the people men who fear God who are trustworthy and hate a bribe and place such men over the people as Chiefs of thousands of hundreds of fifties and of tens and let them judge the people at all times every great matter they shall bring to you but any small matter they shall decide themselves so it will be easier for you and they will bear the burden with you if you do this God will direct you you you will be able to endure and all this people also will go to their place in peace so Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said Moses chose able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the peace Chiefs of thousands of hundreds of fifties and of tens and they judged the people at all times any hard case they brought to Moses but any small matter they decided themselves then Moses let his father-in-law depart and he went away to his own country you Exodus 19 on the third new moon after the people of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt on that day they came into the wilderness of Sinai they set out from radom and came into the wilderness of Sinai and they encamped in the wilderness bare Israel encamped before the mountain while Moses went up to God the Lord called to him out of the mountain saying thus you shall say to the house of Jacob and tell the people of Israel you yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians and 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 you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples for all the earth is mine and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation these are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel so Moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the Lord had commanded him all the people answered together and said all that the Lord has spoken we will do and Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord and the Lord said to Moses behold I am coming to you in a thick cloud that the people may hear when I speak with you and may also believe you for ever when Moses told the words of the people to the Lord the Lord said to Moses go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow and let them wash their garments and be ready for the third day for on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people and you shall set limits for the people all around saying take care not to go up into the mountain or touch the edge of it whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death no hand shall touch him but he shall be stoned or shot with a beast or man he shall not live when the trumpet sounds a long blast they shall come up to the mountain so Moses went down from the mountain to the people and consecrated the people and they washed their garments and he said to the people be ready for the third day do not go near a woman on the morning of the third day there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud on the mountain and a very loud trumpet blast so that all the people in the camp trembled and Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain now Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke because the Lord had descended on it in fire the smoke of it went up like the smoke of the kiln and the whole mountain trembled greatly and as the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder Moses spoke and God answered him in fun the Lord came down on Mount Sinai to the top of the mountain and the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain and Moses went up and the Lord said to Moses go down and warn the people lest they break through to the Lord to look in many of them perish also let the priests who come near to the Lord consecrate themselves bless the lord break out against them and Moses said to the Lord the people cannot come up to Mount Sinai for you yourself warned us saying set limits around the mountain and consecrated and the Lord said to him go down and come up bringing Aaron with you but do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to the Lord lest he break out against them so Moses went down to the people and told them you Exodus 20 and God spoke these words saying I am the Lord your God who brought you out at the land of Egypt out of the house of slavery you shall have no other gods before me you shall not make for yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth you shall not bow down to them or serve them for I the Lord your God am a jealous God visiting the iniquity of the father's on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me but showing steadfast love to thousands of 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 a Sabbath to the Lord your God on it you shall not do any work you or your son or your daughter your male servant or your female servant or your livestock or the Sojourner who is within your gates for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth the sea and all that is in them and rested on the seventh day therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy honor your father and your mother that your days may be long in the land that 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 or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that is your neighbors now when all the people saw the thunder and the flashes of lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking the people were afraid and trembled and they stood far off and said to Moses you speak to us and we will listen but do not let God speak to us unless we die Moses said to the people do not fear for God has come to test you that the fear of him may be before you that you may not sin the people stood far off while Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was and the Lord said to Moses thus you shall say to the people of Israel you have seen for yourselves that I have talked with you from heaven you shall not make gods of silver to be with me nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold and altar earth you shall make for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings your sheep and your oxen in every place where I caused my name to be remembered I will come to you and if you make me an altar of stone you shall not build it of hewn stones or if you wield your tool on it you profane it and you shall not go up by steps to my altar that your nakedness be not exposed on it you Exodus 21 1 now these are the rules that you shall set before them when you buy a Hebrew slave he shall serve six years and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing if he comes in single he shall go out single if he comes in married then his wife shall go out with him if his master gives him a wife and she bares him sons or daughters the wife and her children shall be her masters and he shall go out alone but if the slave plainly says I love my master my wife and my children I will not go out free then his master shall bring him to God and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl and he shall be his slave forever when a man sells his daughter as a slave she shall not go out as the male slaves do if she does not please her masters who has designated her for himself then he shall let her be redeemed he shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people since he has broken faith with her if he designates her for his son he shall deal with her as with a daughter if he takes another wife to himself he shall not diminish her food her clothing or her marital rights and if he does not do these three things for her she shall go out for nothing without payment of money whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death but if he did not lie in wait for him but God let him fall into his hand then I will appoint for you a place to which he may flee but if a man wilfully attacks another to kill him by cunning you shall take him from my altar that he may die whoever strikes his father or his mother shall be put to death whoever steals a man and sells him and anyone found in possession of him shall be put to death whoever curses his father or his mother shall be put to death when men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist and

people of Israel shall keep this effort observing the Sabbath throughout their generations as a covenant forever it is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that in six days the Lord made heaven and earth and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed and he gave to Moses when he had finished speaking with him on mount sinai the two tablets of the testimony tablets of stone written with the finger of God you Exodus 32 when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain the people gathered themselves together to Aaron and said to him up make us gods who shall go before us as for this Moses the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt we do not know what has become of him so Aaron said to them take off the rings of gold that are in the ears of your wives your sons and your daughters and bring them to me so all the people took off the rings of gold that were in their ears and brought them to Aaron and he received the gold from their hand and fashioned it with the graving tool and made a golden calf and they said these are your God's o Israel who brought you up out of the land of Egypt when Aaron saw this he built an altar before it and Aaron made proclamation and said tomorrow shall be a feast to the Lord and they rose up early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings and the people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play and the Lord said to Moses go down for your people whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves they have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them they have made for themselves a golden calf and have worshipped it and sacrificed to it and said these are your God's o Israel who brought you up out of the land of Egypt and the Lord said to Moses I have seen this people and behold it is a stiff-necked people now therefore let me alone that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them in order that I may make a great nation of you but Moses implored the Lord his God and said O Lord why does your wrath burn hot against your people whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand why should the Egyptians say with evil intent did he bring them out to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth turn from your burning anger and relent from this disaster against your people remember Abraham Isaac and Israel your servants to whom you swore by your own self and said to them I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and all this land that I have promised I will give to your offspring and they shall inherit it forever and the Lord relented from the disaster that he had spoken of bringing on his people then Moses turned and went down from the mountain with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand tablets that were written on both sides on the front and on the back they were written in the tablets were the work of God and the writing was the writing of God engraved on the tablets when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted he said to Moses there is a noise of war in the camp but he said it is not the sound of shouting for victory or the sound of the cry of defeat but the sound of singing that I hear and as soon as he came near the camp and saw the calf and the dancing Moses anger burned hot and he threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain he took the calf that they had made and burned it with fire and ground it to powder and scattered it on the water and made the people of Israel drink it and Moses said to Aaron what did this people do to you that you have brought such a great sin upon them and Aaron said let not the anger of my lord burn hot you know the people that they are set on evil but they said to me make us gods who shall go before us as for this Moses the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt we do not know what has become of him so I said to them let any who have gold taken off so they gave it to me and I threw it into the fire and out came this calf and when Moses saw that the people had broken loose for Aaron had let them break loose to the derision of their enemies then Moses stood in the gate of the camp and said who was on the Lord's side come to me and all the sons of Levi gathered around him and he said to them thus says the Lord God of Israel put your sword on your side each of you and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp and each of you kill his brother and his companion and his neighbor and the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses and that day about three thousand men of the people fell and Moses Satan today you have been ordained for the service of the Lord each one at the cost of his son and of his brother so that he might bestow a blessing upon you this day the next day Moses said to the people you have sinned a great sin and now I will go up to the Lord perhaps I can make atonement for your sin so Moses returned to the Lord and said alas this people has sinned a great sin they have made for themselves gods of gold but now if you will forgive their sin but if not please blot me out of your book that you have written but the Lord said to Moses whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book but now go lead the people to the place about which I have spoken to you behold my angel shall go before you nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them then the Lord sent a plague on the people because they made the calf the one that Aaron made you Exodus 33 the to Moses depart go up from here you and the people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt to the land of which I swore to Abraham Isaac and Jacob saying to your offspring I will give it I will send an angel before you and I will drive out the Canaanites fiamma writes the Hittites the Perizzites the Hivites and the Jebusites go up to a land flowing with milk and honey but I will not go up among you lest I consume you on the way for you are a stiff-necked people when the people heard this disastrous word they mourned and no one put on his ornaments for the Lord had said to Moses say to the people of Israel you are a stiff-necked people if for a single moment I should go up among you I would consume you so now take off your ornaments that I may know what to do with you therefore the people of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments from Mount Horeb onward now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp far off from the camp and he called it the tent of meeting and everyone who sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camera whenever Moses went out to the tent all the people would rise up and each would stand at his tent door and watch Moses until he had gone into the tent when Moses entered the tent the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent and the Lord would speak with Moses and when all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent all the people would rise up and worship each at his tent door thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face as a man speaks to his friend when Moses turned again into the camp his assistant Joshua the son of nun a young man would not depart from the tent Moses said to the Lord see you say to me bring up this people but you have not let me know whom you will send with me yet you have said I know you by name and you have also found favor in my sight now therefore if I have found favor in your sight please show me now your ways that I may know you in order to find favor in your sight consider too that this nation is your people and he said my presence will go with you and I will give you rest and he said to him if your presence will not go with me do not bring us up from here for how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight I and your people is it not in your going with us so that we are distinct I and your people from every other people on the face of the earth and the Lord said to Moses this very thing that you have spoken I will do for you have found favor in my sight and I know you by name Moses said please show me your glory and he said I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name the Lord and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy but he said you cannot see my face for man shall not see me and live and the Lord said Behold there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock and I will cover you with my hand until I had passed by then I will take away my hand and you shall see my back but my face shall not be seen you Exodus 34 the Lord said to Moses cut for yourself two tablets of stone like the first and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you broke be ready by the morning and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain no one shall come up with you and let no one be seen throughout all the mountain let no flocks or herds graves opposite that mountain so Moses cut two tablets of stone like the first and he rose early in the morning and went up on Mount Sinai as the Lord had commanded him and took in his hand two tablets of stone 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 slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness keeping steadfast love for thousands forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin but who will by no means clear the guilty visiting the iniquity of the father's on the children and the children's children to the third and the fourth generation and Moses quickly bowed his head toward the earth and worshipped and he said if now I have found favor in your sight O Lord please let the Lord go in the midst of us for it as a stiff-necked people and pardon our iniquity in our sin and take us for your inheritance and he said behold I am making a covenant before all your people I will do marbles such as have not been created in all the earth or an any nation and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord for it is an awesome thing that I will do with you observe what I command you this day behold I will drive out before you the Emirates the Canaanites the Hittites the Perizzites the Hivites and the Jebusites take care lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you go lest it become a snare in your midst you shall tear down their altars and break their pillars and cut down their asurim for you shall worship no other God for the Lord whose name is jealous is a jealous God blessed you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land and when they after their gods and sacrifice to their gods and you were invited you eat of his sacrifice and you take of their daughters for your sons and the daughters for after their gods and make your sons after their gods you shall not make for yourself any gods of cast metal you shall keep the feast of unleavened bread seven days you shall eat unleavened bread as I commanded you at the time appointed in the month a bid for in the month a bit you came out from Egypt all that opened the wound are mine all your male livestock the firstborn of cow and sheep the firstborn of a donkey you

but on the seventh day you shall rest in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest you shall observe the feast of weeks the firstfruits of wheat harvest and the feast of ingathering at the year's end three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord God the God of Israel for I will cast out nations before you and enlarge your borders no one shall covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in the year you shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with anything leaven or let the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover remain until the morning the best of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring to the house of the Lord your God you shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk and the Lord said to Moses write these words for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel 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 when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand as he came down from the mountain Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God Aaron and all the people of Israel saw Moses and behold the skin of his face shone and they were afraid to come near him but Moses called to them and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him and Moses talked with them afterward all the people of Israel came near and he commanded them all that the Lord had spoken with him in mount sinai and when Moses had finished speaking with them he put a veil over his face whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him he would remove the bail until he came out and when he came out and told the people of Israel what he was commanded the people of Israel would see the face of Moses that the skin of Moses face was shining and Moses would put the veil over his face again until he went in to speak with him you Exodus 35 Moses assembled all the congregation of the people of Israel and said to them these are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do six day's work shall be done but on the seventh day you shall have a sabbath of solemn rest holy to the Lord whoever does any work on it shall be put to death you shall Kindle no fire in all your dwelling
