EXO.TXT
EXO 1:1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into
Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
EXO 1:2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
EXO 1:3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
EXO 1:4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
EXO 1:5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy
souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
EXO 1:6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
EXO 1:7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased
abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was
filled with them.
EXO 1:8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
EXO 1:9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of
Israel are more and mightier than we:
EXO 1:10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it
come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our
enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
EXO 1:11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with
their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and
Raamses.
EXO 1:12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew.
And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
EXO 1:13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
EXO 1:14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in
brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein
they made them serve, was with rigour.
EXO 1:15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name
of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
EXO 1:16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew
women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him:
but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
EXO 1:17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt
commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
EXO 1:18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them,
Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
EXO 1:19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not
as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the
midwives come in unto them.
EXO 1:20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people
multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
EXO 1:21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made
them houses.
EXO 1:22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye
shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
EXO 2:1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter
of Levi.
EXO 2:2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he
was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
EXO 2:3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of
bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child
therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
EXO 2:4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
EXO 2:5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river;
and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark
among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
EXO 2:6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe
wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews'
children.
EXO 2:7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call
to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
EXO 2:8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called
the child's mother.
EXO 2:9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse
it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the women took the child, and
nursed it.
EXO 2:10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and
he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I
drew him out of the water.
EXO 2:11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went
out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian
smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
EXO 2:12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was
no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
EXO 2:13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews
strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest
thou thy fellow?
EXO 2:14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest
thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said,
Surely this thing is known.
EXO 2:15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses
fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat
down by a well.
EXO 2:16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew
water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
EXO 2:17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and
helped them, and watered their flock.
EXO 2:18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye
are come so soon to day?
EXO 2:19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the
shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
EXO 2:20 And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye
have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
EXO 2:21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses
Zipporah his daughter.
EXO 2:22 And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said,
I have been a stranger in a strange land.
EXO 2:23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died:
and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they
cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
EXO 2:24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with
Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
EXO 2:25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto
them.
EXO 3:1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of
Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the
mountain of God, even to Horeb.
EXO 3:2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out
of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with
fire, and the bush was not consumed.
EXO 3:3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why
the bush is not burnt.
EXO 3:4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him
out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
EXO 3:5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy
feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
EXO 3:6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy 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 upon God.
EXO 3:7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people
which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters;
for I know their sorrows;
EXO 3:8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians,
and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a
land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the
Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the
Jebusites.
EXO 3:9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto
me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
EXO 3:10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou
mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
EXO 3:11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and
that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
EXO 3:12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token
unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out
of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
EXO 3:13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of
Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto
you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
EXO 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou
say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
EXO 3:15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the
children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God
of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for
ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
EXO 3:16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The
LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob,
appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is
done to you in Egypt:
EXO 3:17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt
unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the
Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk
and honey.
EXO 3:18 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and
the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The
LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee,
three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD
our God.
EXO 3:19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by
a mighty hand.
EXO 3:20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders
which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.
EXO 3:21 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and
it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty.
EXO 3:22 But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that
sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall
spoil the Egyptians.
EXO 4:1 And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me,
nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto
thee.
EXO 4:2 And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A
rod.
EXO 4:3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and
it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
EXO 4:4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the
tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his
hand:
EXO 4:5 That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
EXO 4:6 And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy
bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold,
his hand was leprous as snow.
EXO 4:7 And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand
into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was
turned again as his other flesh.
EXO 4:8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither
hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice
of the latter sign.
EXO 4:9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two
signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water
of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest
out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.
EXO 4:10 And Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither
heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of
speech, and of a slow tongue.
EXO 4:11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh
the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
EXO 4:12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what
thou shalt say.
EXO 4:13 And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom
thou wilt send.
EXO 4:14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is
not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also,
behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad
in his heart.
EXO 4:15 And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will
be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
EXO 4:16 And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even
he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of
God.
EXO 4:17 And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do
signs.
EXO 4:18 And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said
unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in
Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in
peace.
EXO 4:19 And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for
all the men are dead which sought thy life.
EXO 4:20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and
he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
EXO 4:21 And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt,
see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine
hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
EXO 4:22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my
son, even my firstborn:
EXO 4:23 And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou
refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.
EXO 4:24 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and
sought to kill him.
EXO 4:25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her
son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to
me.
EXO 4:26 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because
of the circumcision.
EXO 4:27 And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And
he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.
EXO 4:28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and
all the signs which he had commanded him.
EXO 4:29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the
children of Israel:
EXO 4:30 And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses,
and did the signs in the sight of the people.
EXO 4:31 And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had
visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their
affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
EXO 5:1 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith
the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me
in the wilderness.
EXO 5:2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let
Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
EXO 5:3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we
pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD
our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
EXO 5:4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and
Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
EXO 5:5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye
make them rest from their burdens.
EXO 5:6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and
their officers, saying,
EXO 5:7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore:
let them go and gather straw for themselves.
EXO 5:8 And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall
lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle;
therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
EXO 5:9 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour
therein; and let them not regard vain words.
EXO 5:10 And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and
they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you
straw.
EXO 5:11 Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work
shall be diminished.
EXO 5:12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt
to gather stubble instead of straw.
EXO 5:13 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your
daily tasks, as when there was straw.
EXO 5:14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's
taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye
not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as
heretofore?
EXO 5:15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto
Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
EXO 5:16 There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make
brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own
people.
EXO 5:17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go
and do sacrifice to the LORD.
EXO 5:18 Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you,
yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
EXO 5:19 And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in
evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of
your daily task.
EXO 5:20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came
forth from Pharaoh:
EXO 5:21 And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because
ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the
eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.
EXO 5:22 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, LORD, wherefore hast thou
so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?
EXO 5:23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil
to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
EXO 6:1 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to
Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand
shall he drive them out of his land.
EXO 6:2 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:
EXO 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name
of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
EXO 6:4 And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the
land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
EXO 6:5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the
Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
EXO 6:6 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will
bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out
of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with
great judgments:
EXO 6:7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God:
and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from
under the burdens of the Egyptians.
EXO 6:8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did
swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you
for an heritage: I am the LORD.
EXO 6:9 And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not
unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
EXO 6:10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
EXO 6:11 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of
Israel go out of his land.
EXO 6:12 And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of
Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of
uncircumcised lips?
EXO 6:13 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge
unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the
children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
EXO 6:14 These be the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of Reuben the
firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these be the
families of Reuben.
EXO 6:15 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and
Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of
Simeon.
EXO 6:16 And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their
generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of
Levi were an hundred thirty and seven years.
EXO 6:17 The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families.
EXO 6:18 And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and
the years of the life of Kohath were an hundred thirty and three years.
EXO 6:19 And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the families of
Levi according to their generations.
EXO 6:20 And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare
him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were an hundred and
thirty and seven years.
EXO 6:21 And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
EXO 6:22 And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
EXO 6:23 And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of
Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
EXO 6:24 And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are
the families of the Korhites.
EXO 6:25 And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to
wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the
Levites according to their families.
EXO 6:26 These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the
children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.
EXO 6:27 These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the
children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.
EXO 6:28 And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto Moses in the
land of Egypt,
EXO 6:29 That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou
unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
EXO 6:30 And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips,
and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
EXO 7:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh:
and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
EXO 7:2 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall
speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
EXO 7:3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my
wonders in the land of Egypt.
EXO 7:4 But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon
Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out
of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
EXO 7:5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth
mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
EXO 7:6 And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
EXO 7:7 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years
old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
EXO 7:8 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
EXO 7:9 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you:
then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and
it shall become a serpent.
EXO 7:10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD
had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his
servants, and it became a serpent.
EXO 7:11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the
magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
EXO 7:12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but
Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
EXO 7:13 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as
the LORD had said.
EXO 7:14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he
refuseth to let the people go.
EXO 7:15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the
water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod
which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
EXO 7:16 And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me
unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the
wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
EXO 7:17 Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD:
behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which
are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
EXO 7:18 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall
stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
EXO 7:19 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and
stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon
their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that
they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of
Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
EXO 7:20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up
the rod, and smote 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.
EXO 7:21 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the
Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood
throughout all the land of Egypt.
EXO 7:22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD
had said.
EXO 7:23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his
heart to this also.
EXO 7:24 And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to
drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
EXO 7:25 And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the
river.
EXO 8:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus
saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
EXO 8:2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy
borders with frogs:
EXO 8:3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up
and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and
into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens,
and into thy kneadingtroughs:
EXO 8:4 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and
upon all thy servants.
EXO 8:5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine
hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and
cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
EXO 8:6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the
frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
EXO 8:7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs
upon the land of Egypt.
EXO 8:8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD,
that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let
the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.
EXO 8:9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for
thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from
thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?
EXO 8:10 And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word:
that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.
EXO 8:11 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from
thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.
EXO 8:12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the
LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
EXO 8:13 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died
out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
EXO 8:14 And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
EXO 8:15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his
heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
EXO 8:16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy
rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all
the land of Egypt.
EXO 8:17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and
smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the
dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
EXO 8:18 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice,
but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
EXO 8:19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had
said.
EXO 8:20 And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand
before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus
saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
EXO 8:21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms
of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy
houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and
also the ground whereon they are.
EXO 8:22 And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people
dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know
that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
EXO 8:23 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow
shall this sign be.
EXO 8:24 And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into
the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of
Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.
EXO 8:25 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye,
sacrifice to your God in the land.
EXO 8:26 And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the
abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the
abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
EXO 8:27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice
to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.
EXO 8:28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the
LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat
for me.
EXO 8:29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the
LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and
from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in
not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.
EXO 8:30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
EXO 8:31 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the
swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there
remained not one.
EXO 8:32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he
let the people go.
EXO 9:1 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus
saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
EXO 9:2 For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
EXO 9:3 Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field,
upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the
sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.
EXO 9:4 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle
of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of
Israel.
EXO 9:5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do
this thing in the land.
EXO 9:6 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt
died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
EXO 9:7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the
Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let
the people go.
EXO 9:8 And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of
ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the
sight of Pharaoh.
EXO 9:9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be
a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all
the land of Egypt.
EXO 9:10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and
Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with
blains upon man, and upon beast.
EXO 9:11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils;
for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
EXO 9:12 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto
them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
EXO 9:13 And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand
before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let
my people go, that they may serve me.
EXO 9:14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and
upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is
none like me in all the earth.
EXO 9:15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy
people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
EXO 9:16 And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew
in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
EXO 9:17 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not
let them go?
EXO 9:18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very
grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof
even until now.
EXO 9:19 Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast
in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the
field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and
they shall die.
EXO 9:20 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh
made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
EXO 9:21 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and
his cattle in the field.
EXO 9:22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven,
that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon
beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
EXO 9:23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent
thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained
hail upon the land of Egypt.
EXO 9:24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous,
such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a
nation.
EXO 9:25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was
in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the
field, and brake every tree of the field.
EXO 9:26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was
there no hail.
EXO 9:27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them,
I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are
wicked.
EXO 9:28 Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty
thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
EXO 9:29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will
spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither
shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the
LORD's.
EXO 9:30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear
the LORD God.
EXO 9:31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the
ear, and the flax was bolled.
EXO 9:32 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown
up.
EXO 9:33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his
hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not
poured upon the earth.
EXO 9:34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were
ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
EXO 9:35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the
children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
EXO 10:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened
his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs
before him:
EXO 10:2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's
son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done
among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.
EXO 10:3 And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus
saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble
thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
EXO 10:4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I
bring the locusts into thy coast:
EXO 10:5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able
to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped,
which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which
groweth for you out of the field:
EXO 10:6 And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy
servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor
thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth
unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
EXO 10:7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a
snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God:
knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
EXO 10:8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto
them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go?
EXO 10:9 And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our
sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go;
for we must hold a feast unto the LORD.
EXO 10:10 And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let
you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.
EXO 10:11 Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did
desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
EXO 10:12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land
of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and
eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.
EXO 10:13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the
LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and
when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
EXO 10:14 And the locust went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all
the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such
locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
EXO 10:15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was
darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the
trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the
trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
EXO 10:16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I
have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
EXO 10:17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and
intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
EXO 10:18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
EXO 10:19 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the
locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all
the coasts of Egypt.
EXO 10:20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the
children of Israel go.
EXO 10:21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven,
that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be
felt.
EXO 10:22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a
thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
EXO 10:23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three
days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
EXO 10:24 And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only
let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with
you.
EXO 10:25 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt
offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
EXO 10:26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left
behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not
with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
EXO 10:27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
EXO 10:28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself,
see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
EXO 10:29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no
more.
EXO 11:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon
Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall
let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.
EXO 11:2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his
neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver and jewels of
gold.
EXO 11:3 And the LORD gave the people favour 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.
EXO 11:4 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out
into the midst of Egypt:
EXO 11:5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first
born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the
maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
EXO 11:6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such
as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
EXO 11:7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his
tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a
difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
EXO 11:8 And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down
themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow
thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great
anger.
EXO 11:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you;
that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
EXO 11:10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the
LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of
Israel go out of his land.
EXO 12:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,
EXO 12:2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the
first month of the year to you.
EXO 12:3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth
day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the
house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
EXO 12:4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his
neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls;
every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
EXO 12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye
shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
EXO 12:6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month:
and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the
evening.
EXO 12:7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts
and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
EXO 12:8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and
unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
EXO 12:9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire;
his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
EXO 12:10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that
which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
EXO 12:11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your
feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the
LORD's passover.
EXO 12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite
all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all
the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
EXO 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye
are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not
be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
EXO 12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it
a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by
an ordinance for ever.
EXO 12:15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye
shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread
from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from
Israel.
EXO 12:16 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the
seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work
shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be
done of you.
EXO 12:17 And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this
selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore
shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
EXO 12:18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye
shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at
even.
EXO 12:19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for
whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from
the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
EXO 12:20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat
unleavened bread.
EXO 12:21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them,
Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the
passover.
EXO 12:22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is
in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood
that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house
until the morning.
EXO 12:23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he
seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will
pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your
houses to smite you.
EXO 12:24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy
sons for ever.
EXO 12:25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the
LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this
service.
EXO 12:26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you,
What mean ye by this service?
EXO 12:27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who
passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the
Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and
worshipped.
EXO 12:28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had
commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
EXO 12:29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the
firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his
throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the
firstborn of cattle.
EXO 12:30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all
the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house
where there was not one dead.
EXO 12:31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and
get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and
go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
EXO 12:32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone;
and bless me also.
EXO 12:33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send
them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
EXO 12:34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their
kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
EXO 12:35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and
they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and
raiment:
EXO 12:36 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians,
so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled
the Egyptians.
EXO 12:37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about
six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
EXO 12:38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds,
even very much cattle.
EXO 12:39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought
forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of
Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any
victual.
EXO 12:40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt,
was four hundred and thirty years.
EXO 12:41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years,
even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went
out from the land of Egypt.
EXO 12:42 It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them
out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of
all the children of Israel in their generations.
EXO 12:43 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the
passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
EXO 12:44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast
circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
EXO 12:45 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
EXO 12:46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought
of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
EXO 12:47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
EXO 12:48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will 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 one that is born in the land: for no
uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
EXO 12:49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that
sojourneth among you.
EXO 12:50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and
Aaron, so did they.
EXO 12:51 And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the
children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
EXO 13:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
EXO 13:2 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among
the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
EXO 13:3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came
out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD
brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
EXO 13:4 This day came ye out in the month Abib.
EXO 13:5 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the
Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the
Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with
milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
EXO 13:6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day
shall be a feast to the LORD.
EXO 13:7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no
leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with
thee in all thy quarters.
EXO 13:8 And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because
of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
EXO 13:9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a
memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth: for
with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
EXO 13:10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to
year.
EXO 13:11 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the
Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
EXO 13:12 That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the
matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males
shall be the LORD's.
EXO 13:13 And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if
thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the
firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
EXO 13:14 And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying,
What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD
brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
EXO 13:15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the
LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of
man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that
openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I
redeem.
EXO 13:16 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets
between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of
Egypt.
EXO 13:17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God
led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that
was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see
war, and they return to Egypt:
EXO 13:18 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness
of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land
of Egypt.
EXO 13:19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly
sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall
carry up my bones away hence with you.
EXO 13:20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham,
in the edge of the wilderness.
EXO 13:21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead
them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by
day and night:
EXO 13:22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of
fire by night, from before the people.
EXO 14:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
EXO 14:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before
Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it
shall ye encamp by the sea.
EXO 14:3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled
in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
EXO 14:4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them;
and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the
Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
EXO 14:5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart
of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said,
Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
EXO 14:6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
EXO 14:7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of
Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
EXO 14:8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he
pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out
with an high hand.
EXO 14:9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of
Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the
sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
EXO 14:10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their
eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore
afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
EXO 14:11 And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt,
hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt
thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
EXO 14:12 Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us
alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to
serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
EXO 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see
the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the
Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
EXO 14:14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
EXO 14:15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak
unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
EXO 14:16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the
sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through
the midst of the sea.
EXO 14:17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they
shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his
host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
EXO 14:18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten
me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
EXO 14:19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed
and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their
face, and stood behind them:
EXO 14:20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of
Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night
to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
EXO 14:21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused
the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry
land, and the waters were divided.
EXO 14:22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the
dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on
their left.
EXO 14:23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst
of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
EXO 14:24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto
the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and
troubled the host of the Egyptians,
EXO 14:25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so
that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD
fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
EXO 14:26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea,
that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and
upon their horsemen.
EXO 14:27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea
returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled
against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
EXO 14:28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the
horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them;
there remained not so much as one of them.
EXO 14:29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the
sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their
left.
EXO 14:30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the
Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
EXO 14:31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the
Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his
servant Moses.
EXO 15:1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the
LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed
gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
EXO 15:2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he
is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will
exalt him.
EXO 15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
EXO 15:4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen
captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
EXO 15:5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
EXO 15:6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand,
O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
EXO 15:7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them
that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them
as stubble.
EXO 15:8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered
together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed
in the heart of the sea.
EXO 15:9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the
spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand
shall destroy them.
EXO 15:10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as
lead in the mighty waters.
EXO 15:11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee,
glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
EXO 15:12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
EXO 15:13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast
redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
EXO 15:14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the
inhabitants of Palestina.
EXO 15:15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab,
trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt
away.
EXO 15:16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm
they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till
the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
EXO 15:17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine
inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in,
in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which thy hands have established.
EXO 15:18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
EXO 15:19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his
horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon
them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
EXO 15:20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in
her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
EXO 15:21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed
gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
EXO 15:22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the
wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no
water.
EXO 15:23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of
Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
EXO 15:24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
EXO 15:25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which
when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made
for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
EXO 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD
thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to
his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these
diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the
LORD that healeth thee.
EXO 15:27 And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and
threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
EXO 16:1 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation
of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between
Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their
departing out of the land of Egypt.
EXO 16:2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against
Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
EXO 16:3 And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died
by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots,
and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this
wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
EXO 16:4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven
for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day,
that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
EXO 16:5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare
that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
EXO 16:6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At
even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of
Egypt:
EXO 16:7 And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that
he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur
against us?
EXO 16:8 And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the
evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD
heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your
murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
EXO 16:9 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the
children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your
murmurings.
EXO 16:10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto 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.
EXO 16:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
EXO 16:12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto
them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be
filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
EXO 16:13 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered
the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
EXO 16:14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the
wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the
ground.
EXO 16:15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It
is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is
the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
EXO 16:16 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every
man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number
of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
EXO 16:17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some
less.
EXO 16:18 And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had
nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every
man according to his eating.
EXO 16:19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
EXO 16:20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left
of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth
with them.
EXO 16:21 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his
eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
EXO 16:22 And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as
much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation
came and told Moses.
EXO 16:23 And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To
morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will
bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over
lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
EXO 16:24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not
stink, neither was there any worm therein.
EXO 16:25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the
LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
EXO 16:26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the
sabbath, in it there shall be none.
EXO 16:27 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the
seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
EXO 16:28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my
commandments and my laws?
EXO 16:29 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he
giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his
place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
EXO 16:30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
EXO 16:31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was
like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with
honey.
EXO 16:32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an
omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread
wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the
land of Egypt.
EXO 16:33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna
therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
EXO 16:34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the
Testimony, to be kept.
EXO 16:35 And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they
came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the
borders of the land of Canaan.
EXO 16:36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
EXO 17:1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the
wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the
LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to
drink.
EXO 17:2 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water
that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore
do ye tempt the LORD?
EXO 17:3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured
against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out
of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
EXO 17:4 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this
people? they be almost ready to stone me.
EXO 17:5 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with
thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river,
take in thine hand, and go.
EXO 17:6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and
thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the
people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
EXO 17:7 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because
of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD,
saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
EXO 17:8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
EXO 17:9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with
Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in
mine hand.
EXO 17:10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and
Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
EXO 17:11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel
prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
EXO 17:12 But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under
him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on
the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady
until the going down of the sun.
EXO 17:13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the
sword.
EXO 17:14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a
book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the
remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
EXO 17:15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:
EXO 17:16 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war
with Amalek from generation to generation.
EXO 18:1 When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law, heard of all
that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the LORD had
brought Israel out of Egypt;
EXO 18:2 Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after
he had sent her back,
EXO 18:3 And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he
said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
EXO 18:4 And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said
he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
EXO 18:5 And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife
unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:
EXO 18:6 And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto
thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
EXO 18:7 And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and
kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into
the tent.
EXO 18:8 And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto
Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had
come upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them.
EXO 18:9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to
Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
EXO 18:10 And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out
of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath
delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
EXO 18:11 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing
wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
EXO 18:12 And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and
sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat
bread with Moses' father in law before God.
EXO 18:13 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the
people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.
EXO 18:14 And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he
said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou
thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
EXO 18:15 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto
me to enquire of God:
EXO 18:16 When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one
and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
EXO 18:17 And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is
not good.
EXO 18:18 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with
thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it
thyself alone.
EXO 18:19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall
be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the
causes unto God:
EXO 18:20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them
the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
EXO 18:21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as
fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be
rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of
tens:
EXO 18:22 And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that
every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they
shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the
burden with thee.
EXO 18:23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou
shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in
peace.
EXO 18:24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all
that he had said.
EXO 18:25 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.
EXO 18:26 And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they
brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
EXO 18:27 And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his
own land.
EXO 19:1 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out
of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
EXO 19:2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of
Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the
mount.
EXO 19:3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the
mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the
children of Israel;
EXO 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on
eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
EXO 19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my
covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for
all the earth is mine:
EXO 19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.
These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
EXO 19:7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid
before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
EXO 19:8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD
hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the
LORD.
EXO 19:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud,
that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever.
And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.
EXO 19:10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them
to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
EXO 19:11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will
come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
EXO 19:12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take
heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of
it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
EXO 19:13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or
shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet
soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
EXO 19:14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified
the people; and they washed their clothes.
EXO 19:15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come
not at your wives.
EXO 19:16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were
thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice
of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp
trembled.
EXO 19:17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God;
and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
EXO 19:18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD
descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a
furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
EXO 19:19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and
louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
EXO 19:20 And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount:
and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
EXO 19:21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they
break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
EXO 19:22 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify
themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
EXO 19:23 And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount
Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and
sanctify it.
EXO 19:24 And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come
up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break
through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.
EXO 19:25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
EXO 20:1 And God spake all these words, saying,
EXO 20:2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
EXO 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
EXO 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of
any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that
is in the water under the earth.
EXO 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the
LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
EXO 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my
commandments.
EXO 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the
LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
EXO 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
EXO 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
EXO 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou
shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant,
nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy
gates:
EXO 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all
that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the
sabbath day, and hallowed it.
EXO 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the
land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
EXO 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.
EXO 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
EXO 20:15 Thou shalt not steal.
EXO 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
EXO 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy
neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor
his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
EXO 20:18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the
noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw
it, they removed, and stood afar off.
EXO 20:19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but
let not God speak with us, lest we die.
EXO 20:20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove
you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
EXO 20:21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick
darkness where God was.
EXO 20:22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children
of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
EXO 20:23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto
you gods of gold.
EXO 20:24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice
thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine
oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will
bless thee.
EXO 20:25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it
of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
EXO 20:26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy
nakedness be not discovered thereon.
EXO 21:1 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
EXO 21:2 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the
seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
EXO 21:3 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were
married, then his wife shall go out with him.
EXO 21:4 If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or
daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go
out by himself.
EXO 21:5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and
my children; I will not go out free:
EXO 21:6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring
him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear
through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
EXO 21:7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go
out as the menservants do.
EXO 21:8 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then
shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have
no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
EXO 21:9 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her
after the manner of daughters.
EXO 21:10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of
marriage, shall he not diminish.
EXO 21:11 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free
without money.
EXO 21:12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
EXO 21:13 And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand;
then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
EXO 21:14 But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him
with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
EXO 21:15 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put
to death.
EXO 21:16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in
his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
EXO 21:17 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put
to death.
EXO 21:18 And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or
with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
EXO 21:19 If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that
smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall
cause him to be thoroughly healed.
EXO 21:20 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die
under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
EXO 21:21 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be
punished: for he is his money.
EXO 21:22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart
from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according
as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges
determine.
EXO 21:23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
EXO 21:24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
EXO 21:25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
EXO 21:26 And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid,
that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
EXO 21:27 And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's
tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
EXO 21:28 If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be
surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox
shall be quit.
EXO 21:29 But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it
hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he
hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also
shall be put to death.
EXO 21:30 If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the
ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
EXO 21:31 Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to
this judgment shall it be done unto him.
EXO 21:32 If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give
unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
EXO 21:33 And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not
cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;
EXO 21:34 The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the
owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
EXO 21:35 And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall
sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall
divide.
EXO 21:36 Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and
his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead
shall be his own.
EXO 22:1 If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he
shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
EXO 22:2 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there
shall no blood be shed for him.
EXO 22:3 If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for
he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold
for his theft.
EXO 22:4 If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox,
or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
EXO 22:5 If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put
in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field; of the best of his own
field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
EXO 22:6 If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn,
or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled
the fire shall surely make restitution.
EXO 22:7 If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and
it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him pay
double.
EXO 22:8 If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be
brought unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand unto his
neighbour's goods.
EXO 22:9 For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep,
for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing which another challengeth to be
his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the
judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.
EXO 22:10 If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or
any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:
EXO 22:11 Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath
not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept
thereof, and he shall not make it good.
EXO 22:12 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the
owner thereof.
EXO 22:13 If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he
shall not make good that which was torn.
EXO 22:14 And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or
die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good.
EXO 22:15 But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if
it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.
EXO 22:16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her,
he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
EXO 22:17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay
money according to the dowry of virgins.
EXO 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
EXO 22:19 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
EXO 22:20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall
be utterly destroyed.
EXO 22:21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were
strangers in the land of Egypt.
EXO 22:22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
EXO 22:23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I
will surely hear their cry;
EXO 22:24 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and
your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
EXO 22:25 If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou
shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
EXO 22:26 If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt
deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
EXO 22:27 For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin:
wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me,
that I will hear; for I am gracious.
EXO 22:28 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
EXO 22:29 Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of
thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
EXO 22:30 Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven
days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
EXO 22:31 And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh
that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
EXO 23:1 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the
wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
EXO 23:2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou
speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
EXO 23:3 Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
EXO 23:4 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt
surely bring it back to him again.
EXO 23:5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his
burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
EXO 23:6 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
EXO 23:7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous
slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
EXO 23:8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and
perverteth the words of the righteous.
EXO 23:9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a
stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
EXO 23:10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the
fruits thereof:
EXO 23:11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the
poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall
eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy
oliveyard.
EXO 23:12 Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt
rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and
the stranger, may be refreshed.
EXO 23:13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make
no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy
mouth.
EXO 23:14 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
EXO 23:15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat
unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed
of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall
appear before me empty:)
EXO 23:16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou
hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end
of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.
EXO 23:17 Three items in the year all thy males shall appear before the LORD
God.
EXO 23:18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread;
neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
EXO 23:19 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the
house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
EXO 23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to
bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
EXO 23:21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not
pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
EXO 23:22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak;
then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine
adversaries.
EXO 23:23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the
Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the
Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
EXO 23:24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after
their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down
their images.
EXO 23:25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy
bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
EXO 23:26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land:
the number of thy days I will fulfil.
EXO 23:27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to
whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto
thee.
EXO 23:28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the
Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
EXO 23:29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the
land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
EXO 23:30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until
thou be increased, and inherit the land.
EXO 23:31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the
Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the
inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before
thee.
EXO 23:32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
EXO 23:33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against
me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
EXO 24:1 And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron,
Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar
off.
EXO 24:2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come
nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
EXO 24:3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all
the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the
words which the LORD hath said will we do.
EXO 24:4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the
morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according
to the twelve tribes of Israel.
EXO 24:5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt
offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.
EXO 24:6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half
of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
EXO 24:7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the
people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be
obedient.
EXO 24:8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said,
Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you
concerning all these words.
EXO 24:9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the
elders of Israel:
EXO 24:10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it
were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in
his clearness.
EXO 24:11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand:
also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
EXO 24:12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be
there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments
which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.
EXO 24:13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into
the mount of God.
EXO 24:14 And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come
again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any
matters to do, let him come unto them.
EXO 24:15 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.
EXO 24:16 And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud
covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the
midst of the cloud.
EXO 24:17 And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on
the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.
EXO 24:18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the
mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
EXO 25:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
EXO 25:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of
every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
EXO 25:3 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and
silver, and brass,
EXO 25:4 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
EXO 25:5 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
EXO 25:6 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
EXO 25:7 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the
breastplate.
EXO 25:8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
EXO 25:9 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the
tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye
make it.
EXO 25:10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half
shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and
a cubit and a half the height thereof.
EXO 25:11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt
thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.
EXO 25:12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the
four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two
rings in the other side of it.
EXO 25:13 And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with
gold.
EXO 25:14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the
ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
EXO 25:15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken
from it.
EXO 25:16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give
thee.
EXO 25:17 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half
shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
EXO 25:18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou
make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
EXO 25:19 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the
other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends
thereof.
EXO 25:20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering
the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another;
toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.
EXO 25:21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark
thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
EXO 25:22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from
above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark
of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto
the children of Israel.
EXO 25:23 Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be
the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half
the height thereof.
EXO 25:24 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown
of gold round about.
EXO 25:25 And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round
about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.
EXO 25:26 And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings
in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.
EXO 25:27 Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves
to bear the table.
EXO 25:28 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them
with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
EXO 25:29 And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and
covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou
make them.
EXO 25:30 And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.
EXO 25:31 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall
the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops,
and his flowers, shall be of the same.
EXO 25:32 And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches
of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick
out of the other side:
EXO 25:33 Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one
branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop
and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick.
EXO 25:34 And in the candlesticks shall be four bowls made like unto almonds,
with their knops and their flowers.
EXO 25:35 And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop
under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same,
according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick.
EXO 25:36 Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be
one beaten work of pure gold.
EXO 25:37 And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light
the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.
EXO 25:38 And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure
gold.
EXO 25:39 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
EXO 25:40 And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed
thee in the mount.
EXO 26:1 Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine
twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning
work shalt thou make them.
EXO 26:2 The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the
breadth of one curtain four cubits: and every one of the curtains shall have
one measure.
EXO 26:3 The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and other
five curtains shall be coupled one to another.
EXO 26:4 And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain
from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in the
uttermost edge of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.
EXO 26:5 Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt
thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the coupling of the second;
that the loops may take hold one of another.
EXO 26:6 And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains
together with the taches: and it shall be one tabernacle.
EXO 26:7 And thou shalt make curtains of goats' hair to be a covering upon the
tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make.
EXO 26:8 The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of
one curtain four cubits: and the eleven curtains shall be all of one measure.
EXO 26:9 And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains
by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the
tabernacle.
EXO 26:10 And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that
is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which
coupleth the second.
EXO 26:11 And thou shalt make fifty taches of brass, and put the taches into
the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.
EXO 26:12 And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half
curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle.
EXO 26:13 And a cubit on the one side, and a cubit on the other side of that
which remaineth in the length of the curtains of the tent, it shall hang over
the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.
EXO 26:14 And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed
red, and a covering above of badgers' skins.
EXO 26:15 And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood
standing up.
EXO 26:16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half
shall be the breadth of one board.
EXO 26:17 Two tenons shall there be in one board, set in order one against
another: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
EXO 26:18 And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on
the south side southward.
EXO 26:19 And thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards;
two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another
board for his two tenons.
EXO 26:20 And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there
shall be twenty boards:
EXO 26:21 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and
two sockets under another board.
EXO 26:22 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six
boards.
EXO 26:23 And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle
in the two sides.
EXO 26:24 And they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be
coupled together above the head of it unto one ring: thus shall it be for
them both; they shall be for the two corners.
EXO 26:25 And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen
sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
EXO 26:26 And thou shalt make bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the
one side of the tabernacle,
EXO 26:27 And five bars for the boards of the other side of the
tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for
the two sides westward.
EXO 26:28 And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end
to end.

bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall
divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy.
EXO 26:34 And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony
in the most holy place.

morning before the LORD: it shall be a statute for ever unto their
generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.
EXO 28:1 And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him,
from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the
priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's
sons.
EXO 28:2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and
for beauty.

an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they
shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may
minister unto me in the priest's office.

on the other stone, according to their birth.

signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of
Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.
EXO 28:12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod
for stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear
their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
EXO 28:13 And thou shalt make ouches of gold;

Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the
LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his
heart before the LORD continually.
EXO 28:31 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
EXO 28:32 And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the midst thereof:
it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were
the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.
EXO 28:33 And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of
blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells
of gold between them round about:
EXO 28:34 A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate,
upon the hem of the robe round about.
EXO 28:35 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard
when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD, and when he cometh out,
that he die not.
EXO 28:36 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like
the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
EXO 28:37 And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre;
upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.
EXO 28:38 And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the
iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all
their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be
accepted before the LORD.
EXO 28:39 And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make
the mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle of needlework.
EXO 28:40 And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for
them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.
EXO 28:41 And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and his sons with
him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they
may minister unto me in the priest's office.
EXO 28:42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness;
from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:
EXO 28:43 And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in
unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the
altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it
shall be a statute for ever unto him and his seed after him.
EXO 29:1 And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to
minister unto me in the priest's office: Take one young bullock, and two rams
without blemish,
EXO 29:2 And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and
wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of wheaten flour shalt thou make them.
EXO 29:3 And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the
basket, with the bullock and the two rams.
EXO 29:4 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water.
EXO 29:5 And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and
the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with
the curious girdle of the ephod:
EXO 29:6 And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown
upon the mitre.
EXO 29:7 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his
head, and anoint him.
EXO 29:8 And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them.
EXO 29:9 And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and put
the bonnets on them: and the priest's office shall be theirs for a perpetual
statute: and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons.
EXO 29:10 And thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle
of the congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the
head of the bullock.
EXO 29:11 And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, by the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
EXO 29:12 And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the
horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom
of the altar.
EXO 29:13 And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the
caul that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon
them, and burn them upon the altar.
EXO 29:14 But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou
burn with fire without the camp: it is a sin offering.
EXO 29:15 Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their
hands upon the head of the ram.
EXO 29:16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and
sprinkle it round about upon the altar.
EXO 29:17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of
him, and his legs, and put them unto his pieces, and unto his head.
EXO 29:18 And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt
offering unto the LORD: it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto
the LORD.
EXO 29:19 And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put
their hands upon the head of the ram.
EXO 29:20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon
the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his
sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their
right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
EXO 29:21 And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the
anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon
his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be
hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
EXO 29:22 Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat
that covereth the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys,
and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder; for it is a ram of
consecration:
EXO 29:23 And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer
out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD:
EXO 29:24 And thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of
his sons; and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.
EXO 29:25 And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the
altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD: it is an
offering made by fire unto the LORD.
EXO 29:26 And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron's
consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall
be thy part.
EXO 29:27 And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the
shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up,
of the ram of the consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that
which is for his sons:
EXO 29:28 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever from the
children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave
offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace
offerings, even their heave offering unto the LORD.
EXO 29:29 And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be
anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them.
EXO 29:30 And that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven
days, when he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister
in the holy place.
EXO 29:31 And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seethe his
flesh in the holy place.
EXO 29:32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread
that is in the basket by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
EXO 29:33 And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to
consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof,
because they are holy.
EXO 29:34 And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations, or of the bread,
remain unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it
shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
EXO 29:35 And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all
things which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.
EXO 29:36 And thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for
atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement
for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.
EXO 29:37 Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify
it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall
be holy.
EXO 29:38 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs
of the first year day by day continually.
EXO 29:39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb
thou shalt offer at even:
EXO 29:40 And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth
part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a
drink offering.
EXO 29:41 And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto
according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink
offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
EXO 29:42 This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations
at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I
will meet you, to speak there unto thee.
EXO 29:43 And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the
tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory.
EXO 29:44 And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the
altar: I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the
priest's office.
EXO 29:45 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their
God.
EXO 29:46 And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them
forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD
their God.
EXO 30:1 And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood
shalt thou make it.
EXO 30:2 A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof;
foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns
thereof shall be of the same.
EXO 30:3 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the
sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it
a crown of gold round about.
EXO 30:4 And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by
the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and
they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.
EXO 30:5 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with
gold.
EXO 30:6 And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the
testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will
meet with thee.
EXO 30:7 And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he
dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
EXO 30:8 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon
it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.
EXO 30:9 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor
meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.
EXO 30:10 And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a
year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall
he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto
the LORD.
EXO 30:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
EXO 30:12 When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their
number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD,
when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou
numberest them.
EXO 30:13 This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are
numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is
twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD.
EXO 30:14 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty
years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.
EXO 30:15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than
half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement
for your souls.
EXO 30:16 And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of
Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before
the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
EXO 30:17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
EXO 30:18 Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass,
to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the
congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
EXO 30:19 For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet
thereat:
EXO 30:20 When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall
wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to
minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD:
EXO 30:21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not:
and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed
throughout their generations.
EXO 30:22 Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
EXO 30:23 Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five
hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and
fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,
EXO 30:24 And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the
sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
EXO 30:25 And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound
after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.
EXO 30:26 And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation
therewith, and the ark of the testimony,
EXO 30:27 And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his
vessels, and the altar of incense,
EXO 30:28 And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver
and his foot.
EXO 30:29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever
toucheth them shall be holy.
EXO 30:30 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that
they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
EXO 30:31 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall
be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
EXO 30:32 Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any
other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy
unto you.
EXO 30:33 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it
upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
EXO 30:34 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices,
stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense:
of each shall there be a like weight:
EXO 30:35 And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the
apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:
EXO 30:36 And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the
testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee:
it shall be unto you most holy.
EXO 30:37 And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to
yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy
for the LORD.
EXO 30:38 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be
cut off from his people.
EXO 31:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
EXO 31:2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur,
of the tribe of Judah:
EXO 31:3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
EXO 31:4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in
brass,
EXO 31:5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to
work in all manner of workmanship.
EXO 31:6 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach,
of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have
put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
EXO 31:7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and
the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
EXO 31:8 And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all
his furniture, and the altar of incense,
EXO 31:9 And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver
and his foot,
EXO 31:10 And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the
priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,
EXO 31:11 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place:
according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
EXO 31:12 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
EXO 31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my
sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your
generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
EXO 31:14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every
one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any
work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
EXO 31:15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of
rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall
surely be put to death.
EXO 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe
the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
EXO 31:17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in
six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he
rested, and was refreshed.
EXO 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with
him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with
the finger of God.
EXO 32:1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the
mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him,
Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man
that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of
him.
EXO 32:2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are
in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring
them unto me.
EXO 32:3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their
ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
EXO 32:4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving
tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O
Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
EXO 32:5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made
proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
EXO 32:6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings,
and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and
rose up to play.
EXO 32:7 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people,
which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
EXO 32:8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them:
they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have
sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have
brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
EXO 32:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold,
it is a stiffnecked people:
EXO 32:10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against
them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
EXO 32:11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy
wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the
land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
EXO 32:12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he
bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the
face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil
against thy people.
EXO 32:13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou
swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as
the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto
your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.
EXO 32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his
people.
EXO 32:15 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables
of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their
sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
EXO 32:16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing
of God, graven upon the tables.
EXO 32:17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he
said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
EXO 32:18 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery,
neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise
of them that sing do I hear.
EXO 32:19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he
saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the
tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
EXO 32:20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the
fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the
children of Israel drink of it.
EXO 32:21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou
hast brought so great a sin upon them?
EXO 32:22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest
the people, that they are set on mischief.
EXO 32:23 For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for
as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we
wot not what is become of him.
EXO 32:24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it
off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out
this calf.
EXO 32:25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made
them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
EXO 32:26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the
LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered
themselves together unto him.
EXO 32:27 And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every
man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the
camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every
man his neighbour.
EXO 32:28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and
there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
EXO 32:29 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, even
every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a
blessing this day.
EXO 32:30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people,
Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure
I shall make an atonement for your sin.
EXO 32:31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have
sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
EXO 32:32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I
pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
EXO 32:33 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him
will I blot out of my book.
EXO 32:34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have
spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless
in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
EXO 32:35 And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which
Aaron made.
EXO 33:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the
people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land
which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed
will I give it:
EXO 33:2 And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the
Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and
the Jebusite:
EXO 33:3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the
midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the
way.
EXO 33:4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no
man did put on him his ornaments.
EXO 33:5 For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye
are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a
moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that
I may know what to do unto thee.
EXO 33:6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by
the mount Horeb.
EXO 33:7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar
off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it
came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the
tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.
EXO 33:8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that
all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked
after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
EXO 33:9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy
pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord
talked with Moses.
EXO 33:10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle
door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
EXO 33:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto
his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the
son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
EXO 33:12 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up
this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet
thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my
sight.
EXO 33:13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew
me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and
consider that this nation is thy people.
EXO 33:14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee
rest.
EXO 33:15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not
up hence.
EXO 33:16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found
grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be
separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face
of the earth.
EXO 33:17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou
hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
EXO 33:18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
EXO 33:19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I
will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom
I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
EXO 33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see
me, and live.
EXO 33:21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt
stand upon a rock:
EXO 33:22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will
put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I
pass by:
EXO 33:23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts:
but my face shall not be seen.
EXO 34:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto
the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the
first tables, which thou brakest.
EXO 34:2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount
Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.
EXO 34:3 And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen
throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that
mount.
EXO 34:4 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose
up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had
commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
EXO 34:5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and
proclaimed the name of the LORD.
EXO 34:6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD
God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and
truth,
EXO 34:7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and
sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third
and to the fourth generation.
EXO 34:8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and
worshipped.
EXO 34:9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O LORD, let my
LORD, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon
our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
EXO 34:10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will
do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation:
and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for
it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
EXO 34:11 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out
before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the
Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
EXO 34:12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants
of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:
EXO 34:13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down
their groves:
EXO 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is
Jealous, is a jealous God:
EXO 34:15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they
go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call
thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
EXO 34:16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters
go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their
gods.
EXO 34:17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
EXO 34:18 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt
eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for
in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
EXO 34:19 All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy
cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
EXO 34:20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if
thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy
sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
EXO 34:21 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in
earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
EXO 34:22 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of
wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
EXO 34:23 Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD
God, the God of Israel.
EXO 34:24 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy
borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to
appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.
EXO 34:25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither
shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
EXO 34:26 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the
house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
EXO 34:27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the
tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
EXO 34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did
neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words
of the covenant, the ten commandments.
EXO 34:29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the
two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount,
that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.
EXO 34:30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the
skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.
EXO 34:31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the
congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.
EXO 34:32 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them
in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
EXO 34:33 And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his
face.
EXO 34:34 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took
the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children
of Israel that which he was commanded.
EXO 34:35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of
Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went
in to speak with him.
EXO 35:1 And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel
together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath
commanded, that ye should do them.
EXO 35:2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to
you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein
shall be put to death.
EXO 35:3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath
day.
EXO 35:4 And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel,
saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
EXO 35:5 Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a
willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and
silver, and brass,
EXO 35:6 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
EXO 35:7 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
EXO 35:8 And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the
sweet incense,
EXO 35:9 And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the
breastplate.
EXO 35:10 And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the
LORD hath commanded;
EXO 35:11 The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his
boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
EXO 35:12 The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail
of the covering,
EXO 35:13 The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread,
EXO 35:14 The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his
lamps, with the oil for the light,
EXO 35:15 And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and
the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the
tabernacle,
EXO 35:16 The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and
all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
EXO 35:17 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the
hanging for the door of the court,
EXO 35:18 The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their
cords,
EXO 35:19 The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy
garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister
in the priest's office.
EXO 35:20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the
presence of Moses.
EXO 35:21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one
whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD's offering to the
work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for
the holy garments.
EXO 35:22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing
hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all
jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto
the LORD.
EXO 35:23 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers'
skins, brought them.
EXO 35:24 Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the
LORD's offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work
of the service, brought it.
EXO 35:25 And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands,
and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of
scarlet, and of fine linen.
EXO 35:26 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats'
hair.
EXO 35:27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the
ephod, and for the breastplate;
EXO 35:28 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for
the sweet incense.
EXO 35:29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD,
every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of
work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
EXO 35:30 And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath
called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of
Judah;
EXO 35:31 And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
EXO 35:32 And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in
brass,
EXO 35:33 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood,
to make any manner of cunning work.
EXO 35:34 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and
Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
EXO 35:35 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of
work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in
blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even
of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.
EXO 36:1 Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in
whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of
work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had
commanded.
EXO 36:2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in
whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him
up to come unto the work to do it:
EXO 36:3 And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of
Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it
withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.
EXO 36:4 And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary,
came every man from his work which they made;
EXO 36:5 And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than
enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.
EXO 36:6 And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed
throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for
the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.
EXO 36:7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make
it, and too much.
EXO 36:8 And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the
tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and
scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.
EXO 36:9 The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the
breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.
EXO 36:10 And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other
five curtains he coupled one unto another.
EXO 36:11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the
selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of another
curtain, in the coupling of the second.
EXO 36:12 Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the
edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held
one curtain to another.
EXO 36:13 And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto
another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.
EXO 36:14 And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the
tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
EXO 36:15 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the
breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.
EXO 36:16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by
themselves.
EXO 36:17 And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain
in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which
coupleth the second.
EXO 36:18 And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that
it might be one.
EXO 36:19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a
covering of badgers' skins above that.
EXO 36:20 And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.
EXO 36:21 The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one
cubit and a half.
EXO 36:22 One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did
he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
EXO 36:23 And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south
side southward:
EXO 36:24 And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two
sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another
board for his two tenons.
EXO 36:25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north
corner, he made twenty boards,
EXO 36:26 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and
two sockets under another board.
EXO 36:27 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
EXO 36:28 And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two
sides.
EXO 36:29 And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head
thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
EXO 36:30 And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets
of silver, under every board two sockets.
EXO 36:31 And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one
side of the tabernacle,
EXO 36:32 And five bars for the boards of the other side of the
tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides
westward.
EXO 36:33 And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one
end to the other.
EXO 36:34 And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold
to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
EXO 36:35 And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined
linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work.
EXO 36:36 And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid
them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets
of silver.
EXO 36:37 And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;
EXO 36:38 And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their
chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass.
EXO 37:1 And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was
the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a
half the height of it:
EXO 37:2 And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a
crown of gold to it round about.
EXO 37:3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners
of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other
side of it.
EXO 37:4 And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
EXO 37:5 And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear
the ark.
EXO 37:6 And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was
the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
EXO 37:7 And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he
them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;
EXO 37:8 One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other
end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends
thereof.
EXO 37:9 And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with
their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the
mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.
EXO 37:10 And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length
thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height
thereof:
EXO 37:11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of
gold round about.
EXO 37:12 Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and
made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.
EXO 37:13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the
four corners that were in the four feet thereof.
EXO 37:14 Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to
bear the table.
EXO 37:15 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold,
to bear the table.
EXO 37:16 And he made the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and
his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.
EXO 37:17 And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the
candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his
flowers, were of the same:
EXO 37:18 And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches
of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the
candlestick out of the other side thereof:
EXO 37:19 Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop
and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and
a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick.
EXO 37:20 And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops,
and his flowers:
EXO 37:21 And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two
branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according
to the six branches going out of it.
EXO 37:22 Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one
beaten work of pure gold.
EXO 37:23 And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes,
of pure gold.
EXO 37:24 Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.
EXO 37:25 And he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was
a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was
the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.
EXO 37:26 And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides
thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto it a crown of
gold round about.
EXO 37:27 And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the
two corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to
bear it withal.
EXO 37:28 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
EXO 37:29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet
spices, according to the work of the apothecary.
EXO 38:1 And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits
was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was
foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
EXO 38:2 And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns
thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.
EXO 38:3 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels,
and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof
made he of brass.
EXO 38:4 And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass
thereof beneath unto the midst of it.
EXO 38:5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be
places for the staves.
EXO 38:6 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.
EXO 38:7 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to
bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.
EXO 38:8 And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the
lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
EXO 38:9 And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings
of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:
EXO 38:10 Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the
hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
EXO 38:11 And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their
pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the
pillars and their fillets of silver.
EXO 38:12 And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars
ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of
silver.
EXO 38:13 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
EXO 38:14 The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their
pillars three, and their sockets three.
EXO 38:15 And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that
hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets
three.
EXO 38:16 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.
EXO 38:17 And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the
pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of
silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.
EXO 38:18 And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of
blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was
the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the
hangings of the court.
EXO 38:19 And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their
hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of
silver.
EXO 38:20 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about,
were of brass.
EXO 38:21 This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of
testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the
service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.
EXO 38:22 And Bezaleel the son Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
made all that the LORD commanded Moses.
EXO 38:23 And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an
engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in
purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.
EXO 38:24 All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the
holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and
seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
EXO 38:25 And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an
hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
EXO 38:26 A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel
of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years
old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred
and fifty men.
EXO 38:27 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the
sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred
talents, a talent for a socket.
EXO 38:28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made
hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.
EXO 38:29 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand
and four hundred shekels.
EXO 38:30 And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and
all the vessels of the altar,
EXO 38:31 And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the
court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court
round about.
EXO 39:1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of
service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for
Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.
EXO 39:2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and
fine twined linen.
EXO 39:3 And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires,
to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the
fine linen, with cunning work.
EXO 39:4 They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two
edges was it coupled together.
EXO 39:5 And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the
same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
EXO 39:6 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as
signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
EXO 39:7 And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be
stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
EXO 39:8 And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the
ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
EXO 39:9 It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the
length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.
EXO 39:10 And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius,
a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.
EXO 39:11 And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
EXO 39:12 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
EXO 39:13 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were
inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
EXO 39:14 And the stones were according to the names of the children of
Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet,
every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
EXO 39:15 And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen
work of pure gold.
EXO 39:16 And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the
two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.
EXO 39:17 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the
ends of the breastplate.
EXO 39:18 And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two
ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.
EXO 39:19 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the
breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod
inward.
EXO 39:20 And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides
of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other
coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
EXO 39:21 And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the
ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the
ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the
LORD commanded Moses.
EXO 39:22 And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
EXO 39:23 And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an
habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.
EXO 39:24 And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
EXO 39:25 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the
pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;
EXO 39:26 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the
hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.
EXO 39:27 And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for
his sons,
EXO 39:28 And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and
linen breeches of fine twined linen,
EXO 39:29 And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and
scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.
EXO 39:30 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote
upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
EXO 39:31 And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the
mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
EXO 39:32 Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the
congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that
the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
EXO 39:33 And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his
furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his
sockets,
EXO 39:34 And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of
badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,
EXO 39:35 The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy
seat,
EXO 39:36 The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,
EXO 39:37 The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to
be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,
EXO 39:38 And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet
incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,
EXO 39:39 The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his
vessels, the laver and his foot,
EXO 39:40 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the
hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels
of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,
EXO 39:41 The cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy
garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the
priest's office.
EXO 39:42 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of
Israel made all the work.
EXO 39:43 And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it
as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
EXO 40:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
EXO 40:2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle
of the tent of the congregation.
EXO 40:3 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the
ark with the vail.
EXO 40:4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that
are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and
light the lamps thereof.
EXO 40:5 And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark
of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
EXO 40:6 And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door
of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
EXO 40:7 And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and
the altar, and shalt put water therein.
EXO 40:8 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging
at the court gate.
EXO 40:9 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and
all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it
shall be holy.
EXO 40:10 And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his
vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.
EXO 40:11 And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
EXO 40:12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
EXO 40:13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and
sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
EXO 40:14 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
EXO 40:15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that
they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall
surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
EXO 40:16 Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did
he.
EXO 40:17 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the
first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
EXO 40:18 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and
set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his
pillars.
EXO 40:19 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the
covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
EXO 40:20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves
on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:
EXO 40:21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail
of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
EXO 40:22 And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side
of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
EXO 40:23 And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD
had commanded Moses.
EXO 40:24 And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over
against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
EXO 40:25 And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
EXO 40:26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before
the vail:
EXO 40:27 And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
EXO 40:28 And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.
EXO 40:29 And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle
of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and
the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
EXO 40:30 And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the
altar, and put water there, to wash withal.
EXO 40:31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet
thereat:
EXO 40:32 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came
near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
EXO 40:33 And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the
altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
EXO 40:34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory
of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
EXO 40:35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation,
because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the
tabernacle.
EXO 40:36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the
children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
EXO 40:37 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the
day that it was taken up.
EXO 40:38 For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire
was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all
their journeys.
GEN.TXT
GEN 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
GEN 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the
face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
GEN 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
GEN 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light
from the darkness.
GEN 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And
the evening and the morning were the first day.
GEN 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and
let it divide the waters from the waters.
GEN 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under
the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
GEN 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning
were the second day.
GEN 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together
unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
GEN 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the
waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
GEN 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding
seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in
itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
GEN 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his
kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind:
and God saw that it was good.
GEN 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
GEN 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to
divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons,
and for days, and years:
GEN 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give
light upon the earth: and it was so.
GEN 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and
the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
GEN 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon
the earth,
GEN 1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light
from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
GEN 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
GEN 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving
creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open
firmament of heaven.
GEN 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth,
which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged
fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
GEN 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the
waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
GEN 1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
GEN 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his
kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and
it was so.
GEN 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after
their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and
God saw that it was good.
GEN 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the
air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth.
GEN 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them.
GEN 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing
that moveth upon the earth.
GEN 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which
is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit
of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
GEN 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to
every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given
every green herb for meat: and it was so.
GEN 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very
good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
GEN 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host
of them.
GEN 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he
rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
GEN 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it
he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
GEN 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they
were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
GEN 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every
herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain
upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
GEN 2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face
of the ground.
GEN 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
GEN 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put
the man whom he had formed.
GEN 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is
pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst
of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
GEN 2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it
was parted, and became into four heads.
GEN 2:11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole
land of Havilah, where there is gold;
GEN 2:12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx
stone.
GEN 2:13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that
compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
GEN 2:14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth
toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
GEN 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to
dress it and to keep it.
GEN 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the
garden thou mayest freely eat:
GEN 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat
of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
GEN 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I
will make him an help meet for him.
GEN 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the
field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he
would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was
the name thereof.
GEN 2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to
every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for
him.
GEN 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept:
and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
GEN 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a
woman, and brought her unto the man.
GEN 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh:
she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
GEN 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall
cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
GEN 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
GEN 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the
LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall
not eat of every tree of the garden?
GEN 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the
trees of the garden:
GEN 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God
hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
GEN 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
GEN 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall
be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
GEN 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it
was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took
of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her;
and he did eat.
GEN 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were
naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
GEN 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the
cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence
of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
GEN 3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
GEN 3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid,
because I was naked; and I hid myself.
GEN 3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten
of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
GEN 3:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave
me of the tree, and I did eat.
GEN 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast
done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
GEN 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this,
thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon
thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
GEN 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy
seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
GEN 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy
conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall
be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
GEN 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of
thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou
shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou
eat of it all the days of thy life;
GEN 3:18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt
eat the herb of the field;
GEN 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto
the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust
shalt thou return.
GEN 3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of
all living.
GEN 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins,
and clothed them.
GEN 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to
know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the
tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
GEN 3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to
till the ground from whence he was taken.
GEN 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of
Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way
of the tree of life.
GEN 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and
said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
GEN 4:2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep,
but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
GEN 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit
of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
GEN 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the
fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
GEN 4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was
very wroth, and his countenance fell.
GEN 4:6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy
countenance fallen?
GEN 4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not
well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou
shalt rule over him.
GEN 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they
were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
GEN 4:9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I
know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
GEN 4:10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood
crieth unto me from the ground.
GEN 4:11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth
to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
GEN 4:12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee
her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
GEN 4:13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can
bear.
GEN 4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth;
and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond
in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall
slay me.
GEN 4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain,
vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain,
lest any finding him should kill him.
GEN 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the
land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
GEN 4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he
builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son,
Enoch.
GEN 4:18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael
begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
GEN 4:19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and
the name of the other Zillah.
GEN 4:20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and
of such as have cattle.
GEN 4:21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as
handle the harp and organ.
GEN 4:22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer
in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
GEN 4:23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye
wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my
wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
GEN 4:24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and
sevenfold.
GEN 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name
Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom
Cain slew.
GEN 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name
Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
GEN 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God
created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
GEN 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their
name Adam, in the day when they were created.
GEN 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own
likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:
GEN 5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred
years: and he begat sons and daughters:
GEN 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years:
and he died.
GEN 5:6 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:
GEN 5:7 And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and
begat sons and daughters:
GEN 5:8 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he
died.
GEN 5:9 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:
GEN 5:10 And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years,
and begat sons and daughters:
GEN 5:11 And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he
died.
GEN 5:12 And Cainan lived seventy years and begat Mahalaleel:
GEN 5:13 And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty
years, and begat sons and daughters:
GEN 5:14 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he
died.
GEN 5:15 And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:
GEN 5:16 And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty
years, and begat sons and daughters:
GEN 5:17 And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five
years: and he died.
GEN 5:18 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:
GEN 5:19 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat
sons and daughters:
GEN 5:20 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and
he died.
GEN 5:21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
GEN 5:22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred
years, and begat sons and daughters:
GEN 5:23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
GEN 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
GEN 5:25 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat
Lamech.
GEN 5:26 And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and
two years, and begat sons and daughters:
GEN 5:27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine
years: and he died.
GEN 5:28 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
GEN 5:29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us
concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the
LORD hath cursed.
GEN 5:30 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five
years, and begat sons and daughters:
GEN 5:31 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven
years: and he died.
GEN 5:32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and
Japheth.
GEN 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the
earth, and daughters were born unto them,
GEN 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and
they took them wives of all which they chose.
GEN 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for
that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
GEN 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that,
when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare
children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of
renown.
GEN 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and
that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually.
GEN 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it
grieved him at his heart.
GEN 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the
face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls
of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
GEN 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
GEN 6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in
his generations, and Noah walked with God.
GEN 6:10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
GEN 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with
violence.
GEN 6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all
flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
GEN 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for
the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy
them with the earth.
GEN 6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the
ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
GEN 6:15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length
of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and
the height of it thirty cubits.
GEN 6:16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish
it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with
lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
GEN 6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to
destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and
every thing that is in the earth shall die.
GEN 6:18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into
the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
GEN 6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou
bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and
female.
GEN 6:20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every
creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto
thee, to keep them alive.
GEN 6:21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt
gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
GEN 6:22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
GEN 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark;
for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
GEN 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and
his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
GEN 7:3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep
seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
GEN 7:4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty
days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I
destroy from off the face of the earth.
GEN 7:5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
GEN 7:6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon
the earth.
GEN 7:7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with
him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
GEN 7:8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and
of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
GEN 7:9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the
female, as God had commanded Noah.
GEN 7:10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood
were upon the earth.
GEN 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the
seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the
great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
GEN 7:12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GEN 7:13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the
sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them,
into the ark;
GEN 7:14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their
kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his
kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
GEN 7:15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh,
wherein is the breath of life.
GEN 7:16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God
had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
GEN 7:17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters
increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
GEN 7:18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth;
and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
GEN 7:19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high
hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
GEN 7:20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were
covered.
GEN 7:21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of
cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth, and every man:
GEN 7:22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the
dry land, died.
GEN 7:23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face
of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl
of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained
alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
GEN 7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
GEN 8:1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle
that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and
the waters asswaged;
GEN 8:2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were
stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
GEN 8:3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the
end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
GEN 8:4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the
month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
GEN 8:5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the
tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains
seen.
GEN 8:6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the
window of the ark which he had made:
GEN 8:7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the
waters were dried up from off the earth.
GEN 8:8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated
from off the face of the ground;
GEN 8:9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned
unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth:
then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the
ark.
GEN 8:10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove
out of the ark;
GEN 8:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was
an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off
the earth.
GEN 8:12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which
returned not again unto him any more.
GEN 8:13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first
month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the
earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the
face of the ground was dry.
GEN 8:14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month,
was the earth dried.
GEN 8:15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
GEN 8:16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons'
wives with thee.
GEN 8:17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all
flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be
fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
GEN 8:18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives
with him:
GEN 8:19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever
creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
GEN 8:20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean
beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
GEN 8:21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart,
I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the
imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite
any more every thing living, as I have done.
GEN 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and
heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
GEN 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
GEN 9:2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast
of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the
earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
GEN 9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the
green herb have I given you all things.
GEN 9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye
not eat.
GEN 9:5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of
every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every
man's brother will I require the life of man.
GEN 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the
image of God made he man.
GEN 9:7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the
earth, and multiply therein.
GEN 9:8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
GEN 9:9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed
after you;
GEN 9:10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the
cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the
ark, to every beast of the earth.
GEN 9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be
cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a
flood to destroy the earth.
GEN 9:12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between
me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual
generations:
GEN 9:13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a
covenant between me and the earth.
GEN 9:14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that
the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
GEN 9:15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and
every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a
flood to destroy all flesh.
GEN 9:16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I
may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature
of all flesh that is upon the earth.
GEN 9:17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I
have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
GEN 9:18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and
Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
GEN 9:19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth
overspread.
GEN 9:20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
GEN 9:21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered
within his tent.
GEN 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and
told his two brethren without.
GEN 9:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their
shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and
their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
GEN 9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done
unto him.
GEN 9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto
his brethren.
GEN 9:26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his
servant.
GEN 9:27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem;
and Canaan shall be his servant.
GEN 9:28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
GEN 9:29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he
died.
GEN 10:1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and
Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
GEN 10:2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and
Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
GEN 10:3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
GEN 10:4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
GEN 10:5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every
one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
GEN 10:6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
GEN 10:7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and
Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
GEN 10:8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
GEN 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as
Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
GEN 10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and
Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
GEN 10:11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the
city Rehoboth, and Calah,
GEN 10:12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
GEN 10:13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
GEN 10:14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and
Caphtorim.
GEN 10:15 And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,
GEN 10:16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
GEN 10:17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
GEN 10:18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward
were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
GEN 10:19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to
Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and
Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
GEN 10:20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their
tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
GEN 10:21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother
of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
GEN 10:22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and
Aram.
GEN 10:23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
GEN 10:24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
GEN 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in
his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
GEN 10:26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
GEN 10:27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
GEN 10:28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
GEN 10:29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of
Joktan.
GEN 10:30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount
of the east.
GEN 10:31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their
tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
GEN 10:32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations,
in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after
the flood.
GEN 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
GEN 11:2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found
a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
GEN 11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them
thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
GEN 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top
may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad
upon the face of the whole earth.
GEN 11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the
children of men builded.
GEN 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one
language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from
them, which they have imagined to do.
GEN 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they
may not understand one another's speech.
GEN 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all
the earth: and they left off to build the city.
GEN 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there
confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter
them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
GEN 11:10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years
old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
GEN 11:11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat
sons and daughters.
GEN 11:12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
GEN 11:13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three
years, and begat sons and daughters.
GEN 11:14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
GEN 11:15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years,
and begat sons and daughters.
GEN 11:16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
GEN 11:17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years,
and begat sons and daughters.
GEN 11:18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
GEN 11:19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and
begat sons and daughters.
GEN 11:20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
GEN 11:21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and
begat sons and daughters.
GEN 11:22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
GEN 11:23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat
sons and daughters.
GEN 11:24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
GEN 11:25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years,
and begat sons and daughters.
GEN 11:26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
GEN 11:27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram,
Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
GEN 11:28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity,
in Ur of the Chaldees.
GEN 11:29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was
Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the
father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
GEN 11:30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
GEN 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's
son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth
with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they
came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
GEN 11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah
died in Haran.
GEN 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and
from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew
thee:
GEN 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and
make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
GEN 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth
thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
GEN 12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with
him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
GEN 12:5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all
their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in
Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land
of Canaan they came.
GEN 12:6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the
plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
GEN 12:7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give
this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto
him.
GEN 12:8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and
pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there
he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
GEN 12:9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
GEN 12:10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt
to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
GEN 12:11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that
he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to
look upon:
GEN 12:12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee,
that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will
save thee alive.
GEN 12:13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me
for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
GEN 12:14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the
Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
GEN 12:15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before
Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
GEN 12:16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and
oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and
camels.
GEN 12:17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues
because of Sarai Abram's wife.
GEN 12:18 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done
unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
GEN 12:19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me
to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
GEN 12:20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him
away, and his wife, and all that he had.
GEN 13:1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he
had, and Lot with him, into the south.
GEN 13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
GEN 13:3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the
place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
GEN 13:4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first:
and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
GEN 13:5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and
tents.
GEN 13:6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell
together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell
together.
GEN 13:7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the
herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then
in the land.
GEN 13:8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between
me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
GEN 13:9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee,
from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if
thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
GEN 13:10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that
it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and
Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou
comest unto Zoar.
GEN 13:11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east:
and they separated themselves the one from the other.
GEN 13:12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities
of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
GEN 13:13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD
exceedingly.
GEN 13:14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him,
Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and
southward, and eastward, and westward:
GEN 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to
thy seed for ever.
GEN 13:16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man
can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
GEN 13:17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth
of it; for I will give it unto thee.
GEN 13:18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of
Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
GEN 14:1 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch
king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
GEN 14:2 That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of
Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of
Bela, which is Zoar.
GEN 14:3 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the
salt sea.
GEN 14:4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year
they rebelled.
GEN 14:5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were
with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in
Ham, and the Emins in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
GEN 14:6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the
wilderness.
GEN 14:7 And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote
all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in
Hazezontamar.
GEN 14:8 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and
the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is
Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
GEN 14:9 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations,
and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with
five.
GEN 14:10 And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom
and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the
mountain.
GEN 14:11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their
victuals, and went their way.
GEN 14:12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and
his goods, and departed.
GEN 14:13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for
he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of
Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
GEN 14:14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed
his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and
pursued them unto Dan.
GEN 14:15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by
night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand
of Damascus.
GEN 14:16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his
brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
GEN 14:17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the
slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley
of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
GEN 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he
was the priest of the most high God.
GEN 14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God,
possessor of heaven and earth:
GEN 14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies
into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
GEN 14:21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take
the goods to thyself.
GEN 14:22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto
the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
GEN 14:23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I
will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made
Abram rich:
GEN 14:24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion
of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their
portion.
GEN 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision,
saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
GEN 15:2 And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go
childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
GEN 15:3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one
born in my house is mine heir.
GEN 15:4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall
not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall
be thine heir.
GEN 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward
heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto
him, So shall thy seed be.
GEN 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for
righteousness.
GEN 15:7 And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur
of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
GEN 15:8 And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
GEN 15:9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she
goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and
a young pigeon.
GEN 15:10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and
laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
GEN 15:11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them
away.
GEN 15:12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and,
lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
GEN 15:13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a
stranger in a land that is not their's, and shall serve them; and they shall
afflict them four hundred years;
GEN 15:14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and
afterward shall they come out with great substance.
GEN 15:15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a
good old age.
GEN 15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the
iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
GEN 15:17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark,
behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those
pieces.
GEN 15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto
thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great
river, the river Euphrates:
GEN 15:19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
GEN 15:20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
GEN 15:21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the
Jebusites.
GEN 16:1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid,
an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
GEN 16:2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me
from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain
children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
GEN 16:3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram
had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram
to be his wife.
GEN 16:4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that
she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
GEN 16:5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my
maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised
in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.
GEN 16:6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand; do to
her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from
her face.
GEN 16:7 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the
wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
GEN 16:8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither
wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
GEN 16:9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and
submit thyself under her hands.
GEN 16:10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed
exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
GEN 16:11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child
and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath
heard thy affliction.
GEN 16:12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and
every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his
brethren.
GEN 16:13 And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God
seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
GEN 16:14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between
Kadesh and Bered.
GEN 16:15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which
Hagar bare, Ishmael.
GEN 16:16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael
to Abram.
GEN 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to
Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou
perfect.
GEN 17:2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply
thee exceedingly.
GEN 17:3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
GEN 17:4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a
father of many nations.
GEN 17:5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall
be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
GEN 17:6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations
of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
GEN 17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed
after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto
thee, and to thy seed after thee.
GEN 17:8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land
wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting
possession; and I will be their God.
GEN 17:9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore,
thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
GEN 17:10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy
seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
GEN 17:11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be
a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
GEN 17:12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every
man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with
money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
GEN 17:13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money,
must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an
everlasting covenant.
GEN 17:14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not
circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my
covenant.
GEN 17:15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not
call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
GEN 17:16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will
bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of
her.
GEN 17:17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart,
Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah,
that is ninety years old, bear?
GEN 17:18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
GEN 17:19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou
shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an
everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
GEN 17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed
him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve
princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
GEN 17:21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear
unto thee at this set time in the next year.
GEN 17:22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
GEN 17:23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his
house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of
Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame
day, as God had said unto him.
GEN 17:24 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised
in the flesh of his foreskin.
GEN 17:25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised
in the flesh of his foreskin.
GEN 17:26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
GEN 17:27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with
money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
GEN 18:1 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat
in the tent door in the heat of the day;
GEN 18:2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him:
and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed
himself toward the ground,
GEN 18:3 And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not
away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
GEN 18:4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and
rest yourselves under the tree:
GEN 18:5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after
that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they
said, So do, as thou hast said.
GEN 18:6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready
quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the
hearth.
GEN 18:7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and
gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
GEN 18:8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and
set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
GEN 18:9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold,
in the tent.
GEN 18:10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time
of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the
tent door, which was behind him.
GEN 18:11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it
ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
GEN 18:12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old
shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
GEN 18:13 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying,
Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
GEN 18:14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will
return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
GEN 18:15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he
said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
GEN 18:16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and
Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
GEN 18:17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
GEN 18:18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty
nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
GEN 18:19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household
after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and
judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of
him.
GEN 18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is
great, and because their sin is very grievous;
GEN 18:21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether
according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
GEN 18:22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom:
but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
GEN 18:23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the
righteous with the wicked?
GEN 18:24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou
also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are
therein?
GEN 18:25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous
with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far
from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
GEN 18:26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the
city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
GEN 18:27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to
speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes:
GEN 18:28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou
destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and
five, I will not destroy it.
GEN 18:29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall
be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.
GEN 18:30 And he said unto him, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will
speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will
not do it, if I find thirty there.
GEN 18:31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the
LORD: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not
destroy it for twenty's sake.
GEN 18:32 And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but
this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not
destroy it for ten's sake.
GEN 18:33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with
Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
GEN 19:1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate
of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with
his face toward the ground;
GEN 19:2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your
servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise
up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the
street all night.
GEN 19:3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and
entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened
bread, and they did eat.
GEN 19:4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom,
compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every
quarter:
GEN 19:5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which
came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
GEN 19:6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
GEN 19:7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
GEN 19:8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I
pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes:
only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of
my roof.
GEN 19:9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came
in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with
thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came
near to break the door.
GEN 19:10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house
to them, and shut to the door.
GEN 19:11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with
blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the
door.
GEN 19:12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in
law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city,
bring them out of this place:
GEN 19:13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen
great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
GEN 19:14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his
daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy
this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
GEN 19:15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying,
Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be
consumed in the iniquity of the city.
GEN 19:16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the
hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being
merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
GEN 19:17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that
he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all
the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
GEN 19:18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my LORD:
GEN 19:19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast
magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I
cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
GEN 19:20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one:
Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
GEN 19:21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this
thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast
spoken.
GEN 19:22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be
come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
GEN 19:23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
GEN 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire
from the LORD out of heaven;
GEN 19:25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the
inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
GEN 19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of
salt.
GEN 19:27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood
before the LORD:
GEN 19:28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land
of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the
smoke of a furnace.
GEN 19:29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain,
that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow,
when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
GEN 19:30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two
daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave,
he and his two daughters.
GEN 19:31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and
there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all
the earth:
GEN 19:32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him,
that we may preserve seed of our father.
GEN 19:33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn
went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor
when she arose.
GEN 19:34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the
younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine
this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed
of our father.
GEN 19:35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the
younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor
when she arose.
GEN 19:36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
GEN 19:37 And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is
the father of the Moabites unto this day.
GEN 19:38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi:
the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
GEN 20:1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and
dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
GEN 20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech
king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
GEN 20:3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him,
Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she
is a man's wife.
GEN 20:4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou
slay also a righteous nation?
GEN 20:5 Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself
said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my
hands have I done this.
GEN 20:6 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this
in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against
me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
GEN 20:7 Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he
shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know
thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
GEN 20:8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his
servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore
afraid.
GEN 20:9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done
unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on
my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be
done.
GEN 20:10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast
done this thing?
GEN 20:11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not
in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.
GEN 20:12 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father,
but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
GEN 20:13 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's
house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto
me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
GEN 20:14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and
womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
GEN 20:15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it
pleaseth thee.
GEN 20:16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand
pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that
are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
GEN 20:17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his
wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
GEN 20:18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of
Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
GEN 21:1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto
Sarah as he had spoken.
GEN 21:2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the
set time of which God had spoken to him.
GEN 21:3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom
Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
GEN 21:4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God
had commanded him.
GEN 21:5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born
unto him.
GEN 21:6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will
laugh with me.
GEN 21:7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should
have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.
GEN 21:8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast
the same day that Isaac was weaned.
GEN 21:9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto
Abraham, mocking.
GEN 21:10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her
son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with
Isaac.
GEN 21:11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his
son.
GEN 21:12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight
because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said
unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
GEN 21:13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because
he is thy seed.
GEN 21:14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a
bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the
child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of
Beersheba.
GEN 21:15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under
one of the shrubs.
GEN 21:16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as
it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And
she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
GEN 21:17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to
Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not;
for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
GEN 21:18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make
him a great nation.
GEN 21:19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she
went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
GEN 21:20 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the
wilderness, and became an archer.
GEN 21:21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a
wife out of the land of Egypt.
GEN 21:22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the
chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all
that thou doest:
GEN 21:23 Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal
falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the
kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land
wherein thou hast sojourned.
GEN 21:24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
GEN 21:25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which
Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
GEN 21:26 And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing; neither
didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.
GEN 21:27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and
both of them made a covenant.
GEN 21:28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
GEN 21:29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs
which thou hast set by themselves?
GEN 21:30 And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand,
that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
GEN 21:31 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware
both of them.
GEN 21:32 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and
Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the
Philistines.
GEN 21:33 And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the
name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
GEN 21:34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
GEN 22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt
Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
GEN 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou
lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt
offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
GEN 22:3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and
took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for
the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had
told him.
GEN 22:4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place
afar off.
GEN 22:5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and
I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
GEN 22:6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon
Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went
both of them together.
GEN 22:7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he
said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where
is the lamb for a burnt offering?
GEN 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt
offering: so they went both of them together.
GEN 22:9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham
built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his
son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
GEN 22:10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his
son.
GEN 22:11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said,
Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
GEN 22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any
thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not
withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
GEN 22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a
ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and
offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
GEN 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is
said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
GEN 22:15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the
second time,
GEN 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou
hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
GEN 22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will
multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon
the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
GEN 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
because thou hast obeyed my voice.
GEN 22:19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went
together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
GEN 22:20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham,
saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
GEN 22:21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of
Aram,
GEN 22:22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
GEN 22:23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor,
Abraham's brother.
GEN 22:24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and
Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
GEN 23:1 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were
the years of the life of Sarah.
GEN 23:2 And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of
Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
GEN 23:3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of
Heth, saying,
GEN 23:4 I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a
buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
GEN 23:5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,
GEN 23:6 Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of
our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his
sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
GEN 23:7 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land,
even to the children of Heth.
GEN 23:8 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should
bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son
of Zohar,
GEN 23:9 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is
in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me
for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.
GEN 23:10 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite
answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that
went in at the gate of his city, saying,
GEN 23:11 Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is
therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it
thee: bury thy dead.
GEN 23:12 And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.
GEN 23:13 And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land,
saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee
money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
GEN 23:14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
GEN 23:15 My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of
silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
GEN 23:16 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the
silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred
shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
GEN 23:17 And the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was before
Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were
in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
GEN 23:18 Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of
Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
GEN 23:19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the
field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
GEN 23:20 And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto
Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
GEN 24:1 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had
blessed Abraham in all things.
GEN 24:2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled
over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
GEN 24:3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the
God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the
daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
GEN 24:4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife
unto my son Isaac.
GEN 24:5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be
willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto
the land from whence thou camest?
GEN 24:6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son
thither again.
GEN 24:7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and
from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me,
saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before
thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
GEN 24:8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt
be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
GEN 24:9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his
master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
GEN 24:10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and
departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and
went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
GEN 24:11 And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of
water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw
water.
GEN 24:12 And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me
good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
GEN 24:13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the
men of the city come out to draw water:
GEN 24:14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let
down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say,
Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou
hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast
shewed kindness unto my master.
GEN 24:15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold,
Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor,
Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
GEN 24:16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any
man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and
came up.
GEN 24:17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee,
drink a little water of thy pitcher.
GEN 24:18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her
pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
GEN 24:19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water
for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
GEN 24:20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran
again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
GEN 24:21 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD
had made his journey prosperous or not.
GEN 24:22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man
took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her
hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
GEN 24:23 And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there
room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?
GEN 24:24 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of
Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
GEN 24:25 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender
enough, and room to lodge in.
GEN 24:26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
GEN 24:27 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath
not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the
way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.
GEN 24:28 And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these
things.
GEN 24:29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out
unto the man, unto the well.
GEN 24:30 And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his
sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying,
Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood
by the camels at the well.
GEN 24:31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest
thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
GEN 24:32 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and
gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the
men's feet that were with him.
GEN 24:33 And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not
eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
GEN 24:34 And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
GEN 24:35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great:
and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and
menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
GEN 24:36 And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old:
and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
GEN 24:37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to
my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
GEN 24:38 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and
take a wife unto my son.
GEN 24:39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow
me.
GEN 24:40 And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his
angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son
of my kindred, and of my father's house:
GEN 24:41 Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my
kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
GEN 24:42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master
Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
GEN 24:43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass,
that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I
pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
GEN 24:44 And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy
camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my
master's son.
GEN 24:45 And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came
forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and
drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
GEN 24:46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and
said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made
the camels drink also.
GEN 24:47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she
said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I
put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
GEN 24:48 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the
LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my
master's brother's daughter unto his son.
GEN 24:49 And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me:
and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
GEN 24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from
the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
GEN 24:51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy
master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
GEN 24:52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words,
he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
GEN 24:53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of
gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and
to her mother precious things.
GEN 24:54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and
tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away
unto my master.
GEN 24:55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a
few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
GEN 24:56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered
my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
GEN 24:57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
GEN 24:58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this
man? And she said, I will go.
GEN 24:59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and
Abraham's servant, and his men.
GEN 24:60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be
thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate
of those which hate them.
GEN 24:61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels,
and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
GEN 24:62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt
in the south country.
GEN 24:63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he
lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.
GEN 24:64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted
off the camel.
GEN 24:65 For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh
in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore
she took a vail, and covered herself.
GEN 24:66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
GEN 24:67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took
Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted
after his mother's death.
GEN 25:1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
GEN 25:2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and
Ishbak, and Shuah.
GEN 25:3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were
Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
GEN 25:4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and
Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
GEN 25:5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
GEN 25:6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave
gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward,
unto the east country.
GEN 25:7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived,
an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
GEN 25:8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old
man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
GEN 25:9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah,
in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
GEN 25:10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was
Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
GEN 25:11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his
son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
GEN 25:12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar
the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
GEN 25:13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names,
according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and
Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
GEN 25:14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
GEN 25:15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
GEN 25:16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their
towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
GEN 25:17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and
thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered
unto his people.
GEN 25:18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou
goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
GEN 25:19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat
Isaac:
GEN 25:20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the
daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
GEN 25:21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren:
and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
GEN 25:22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it
be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
GEN 25:23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two
manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall
be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
GEN 25:24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were
twins in her womb.
GEN 25:25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they
called his name Esau.
GEN 25:26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on
Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years
old when she bare them.
GEN 25:27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the
field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
GEN 25:28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah
loved Jacob.
GEN 25:29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was
faint:
GEN 25:30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red
pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
GEN 25:31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
GEN 25:32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit
shall this birthright do to me?
GEN 25:33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he
sold his birthright unto Jacob.
GEN 25:34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat
and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
GEN 26:1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was
in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines
unto Gerar.
GEN 26:2 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt;
dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
GEN 26:3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee;
for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will
perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
GEN 26:4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will
give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations
of the earth be blessed;
GEN 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my
commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
GEN 26:6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
GEN 26:7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is
my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men
of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
GEN 26:8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that
Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and,
behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
GEN 26:9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy
wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because
I said, Lest I die for her.
GEN 26:10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the
people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought
guiltiness upon us.
GEN 26:11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this
man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
GEN 26:12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an
hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
GEN 26:13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became
very great:
GEN 26:14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great
store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
GEN 26:15 For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days
of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with
earth.
GEN 26:16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much
mightier than we.
GEN 26:17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of
Gerar, and dwelt there.
GEN 26:18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged
in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after
the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his
father had called them.
GEN 26:19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of
springing water.
GEN 26:20 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying,
The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they
strove with him.
GEN 26:21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he
called the name of it Sitnah.
GEN 26:22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that
they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now
the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
GEN 26:23 And he went up from thence to Beersheba.
GEN 26:24 And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the
God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless
thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
GEN 26:25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the
LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well.
GEN 26:26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his
friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
GEN 26:27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate
me, and have sent me away from you?
GEN 26:28 And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we
said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let
us make a covenant with thee;
GEN 26:29 That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we
have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou
art now the blessed of the LORD.
GEN 26:30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
GEN 26:31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another:
and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
GEN 26:32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and
told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We
have found water.
GEN 26:33 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba
unto this day.
GEN 26:34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the
daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the
Hittite:
GEN 26:35 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
GEN 27:1 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim,
so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him,
My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
GEN 27:2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
GEN 27:3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy
bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
GEN 27:4 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I
may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
GEN 27:5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went
to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
GEN 27:6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy
father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
GEN 27:7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless
thee before the LORD before my death.
GEN 27:8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I
command thee.
GEN 27:9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the
goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
GEN 27:10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he
may bless thee before his death.
GEN 27:11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a
hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
GEN 27:12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a
deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
GEN 27:13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only
obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
GEN 27:14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his
mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
GEN 27:15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were
with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
GEN 27:16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and
upon the smooth of his neck:
GEN 27:17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared,
into the hand of her son Jacob.
GEN 27:18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here
am I; who art thou, my son?
GEN 27:19 And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first born; I have
done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my
venison, that thy soul may bless me.
GEN 27:20 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so
quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me.
GEN 27:21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel
thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
GEN 27:22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and
said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
GEN 27:23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his
brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
GEN 27:24 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
GEN 27:25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's
venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he
did eat: and he brought him wine and he drank.
GEN 27:26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my
son.
GEN 27:27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his
raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell
of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
GEN 27:28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the
earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
GEN 27:29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over
thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one
that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
GEN 27:30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing
Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his
father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
GEN 27:31 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his
father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's
venison, that thy soul may bless me.
GEN 27:32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am
thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
GEN 27:33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that
hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou
camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.
GEN 27:34 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great
and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O
my father.
GEN 27:35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy
blessing.
GEN 27:36 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted
me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath
taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for
me?
GEN 27:37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy
lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn
and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
GEN 27:38 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my
father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his
voice, and wept.
GEN 27:39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy
dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from
above;
GEN 27:40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and
it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt
break his yoke from off thy neck.
GEN 27:41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father
blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father
are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
GEN 27:42 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she
sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother
Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.
GEN 27:43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee thou to Laban my
brother to Haran;
GEN 27:44 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;
GEN 27:45 Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that
which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence:
why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
GEN 27:46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the
daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as
these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
GEN 28:1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said
unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
GEN 28:2 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father;
and take thee a wife from thence of the daughers of Laban thy mother's
brother.
GEN 28:3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply
thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
GEN 28:4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with
thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which
God gave unto Abraham.
GEN 28:5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son
of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
GEN 28:6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to
Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave
him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughers of Canaan;
GEN 28:7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to
Padanaram;
GEN 28:8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his
father;
GEN 28:9 Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had
Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be
his wife.
GEN 28:10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
GEN 28:11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night,
because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put
them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
GEN 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top
of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and
descending on it.
GEN 28:13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of
Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest,
to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
GEN 28:14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt
spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the
south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be
blessed.
GEN 28:15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places
whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not
leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
GEN 28:16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is
in this place; and I knew it not.
GEN 28:17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is
none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
GEN 28:18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he
had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the
top of it.
GEN 28:19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that
city was called Luz at the first.
GEN 28:20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep
me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put
on,
GEN 28:21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the
LORD be my God:
GEN 28:22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house:
and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
GEN 29:1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people
of the east.
GEN 29:2 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were
three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the
flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth.
GEN 29:3 And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone
from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon
the well's mouth in his place.
GEN 29:4 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said,
Of Haran are we.
GEN 29:5 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said,
We know him.
GEN 29:6 And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and,
behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
GEN 29:7 And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the
cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
GEN 29:8 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered
together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water
the sheep.
GEN 29:9 And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's
sheep; for she kept them.
GEN 29:10 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his
mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob
went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock
of Laban his mother's brother.
GEN 29:11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
GEN 29:12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he
was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.
GEN 29:13 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his
sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and
brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
GEN 29:14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he
abode with him the space of a month.
GEN 29:15 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest
thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
GEN 29:16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the
name of the younger was Rachel.
GEN 29:17 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
GEN 29:18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for
Rachel thy younger daughter.
GEN 29:19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I
should give her to another man: abide with me.
GEN 29:20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him
but a few days, for the love he had to her.
GEN 29:21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are
fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
GEN 29:22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a
feast.
GEN 29:23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his
daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
GEN 29:24 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an
handmaid.
GEN 29:25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and
he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with
thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
GEN 29:26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the
younger before the firstborn.
GEN 29:27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service
which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
GEN 29:28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his
daughter to wife also.
GEN 29:29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her
maid.
GEN 29:30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than
Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
GEN 29:31 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but
Rachel was barren.
GEN 29:32 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben:
for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore
my husband will love me.
GEN 29:33 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD
hath heard I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she
called his name Simeon.
GEN 29:34 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time
will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons:
therefore was his name called Levi.
GEN 29:35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I
praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
GEN 30:1 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied
her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
GEN 30:2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in
God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
GEN 30:3 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall
bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
GEN 30:4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto
her.
GEN 30:5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
GEN 30:6 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my
voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
GEN 30:7 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second
son.
GEN 30:8 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my
sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
GEN 30:9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her
maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
GEN 30:10 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
GEN 30:11 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
GEN 30:12 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
GEN 30:13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed:
and she called his name Asher.
GEN 30:14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes
in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to
Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.
GEN 30:15 And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my
husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel
said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes.
GEN 30:16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to
meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee
with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
GEN 30:17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the
fifth son.
GEN 30:18 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my
maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
GEN 30:19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
GEN 30:20 And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my
husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his
name Zebulun.
GEN 30:21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
GEN 30:22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her
womb.
GEN 30:23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my
reproach:
GEN 30:24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me
another son.
GEN 30:25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said
unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my
country.
GEN 30:26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and
let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
GEN 30:27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in
thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath
blessed me for thy sake.
GEN 30:28 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
GEN 30:29 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how
thy cattle was with me.
GEN 30:30 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now
increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming:
and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
GEN 30:31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not
give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and
keep thy flock.
GEN 30:32 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all
the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the
sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my
hire.
GEN 30:33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it
shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and
spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted
stolen with me.
GEN 30:34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
GEN 30:35 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and
spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one
that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them
into the hand of his sons.
GEN 30:36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob
fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
GEN 30:37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and
chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear
which was in the rods.
GEN 30:38 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the
gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they
should conceive when they came to drink.
GEN 30:39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle
ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
GEN 30:40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks
toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put
his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
GEN 30:41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive,
that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that
they might conceive among the rods.
GEN 30:42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler
were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
GEN 30:43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and
maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
GEN 31:1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away
all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten
all this glory.
GEN 31:2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not
toward him as before.
GEN 31:3 And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers,
and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
GEN 31:4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his
flock,
GEN 31:5 And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not
toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
GEN 31:6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
GEN 31:7 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but
God suffered him not to hurt me.
GEN 31:8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle
bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then
bare all the cattle ringstraked.
GEN 31:9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to
me.
GEN 31:10 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I
lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped
upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
GEN 31:11 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I
said, Here am I.
GEN 31:12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which
leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen
all that Laban doeth unto thee.
GEN 31:13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where
thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and
return unto the land of thy kindred.
GEN 31:14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any
portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
GEN 31:15 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath
quite devoured also our money.
GEN 31:16 For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is
ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
GEN 31:17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
GEN 31:18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had
gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to
go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
GEN 31:19 And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images
that were her father's.
GEN 31:20 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told
him not that he fled.
GEN 31:21 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the
river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
GEN 31:22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
GEN 31:23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days'
journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
GEN 31:24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto
him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
GEN 31:25 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the
mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.
GEN 31:26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen
away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with
the sword?
GEN 31:27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and
didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with
songs, with tabret, and with harp?
GEN 31:28 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast
now done foolishly in so doing.
GEN 31:29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your
father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not
to Jacob either good or bad.
GEN 31:30 And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore
longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?
GEN 31:31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I
said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
GEN 31:32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our
brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob
knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
GEN 31:33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the
two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's
tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
GEN 31:34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's
furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them
not.
GEN 31:35 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I
cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he
searched but found not the images.
GEN 31:36 And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and
said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly
pursued after me?
GEN 31:37 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all
thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that
they may judge betwixt us both.
GEN 31:38 This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats
have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.
GEN 31:39 That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the
loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or
stolen by night.
GEN 31:40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by
night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
GEN 31:41 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen
years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast
changed my wages ten times.
GEN 31:42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of
Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath
seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee
yesternight.
GEN 31:43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my
daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my
cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto
these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?
GEN 31:44 Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let
it be for a witness between me and thee.
GEN 31:45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
GEN 31:46 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took
stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.
GEN 31:47 And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.
GEN 31:48 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day.
Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
GEN 31:49 And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we
are absent one from another.
GEN 31:50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other
wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me
and thee.
GEN 31:51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar,
which I have cast betwixt me and thee:
GEN 31:52 This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not
pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and
this pillar unto me, for harm.
GEN 31:53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father,
judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac.
GEN 31:54 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren
to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.
GEN 31:55 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his
daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
GEN 32:1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
GEN 32:2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called
the name of that place Mahanaim.
GEN 32:3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the
land of Seir, the country of Edom.
GEN 32:4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau;
Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there
until now:
GEN 32:5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and
womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy
sight.
GEN 32:6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother
Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
GEN 32:7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the
people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two
bands;
GEN 32:8 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the
other company which is left shall escape.
GEN 32:9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father
Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy
kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
GEN 32:10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the
truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed
over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
GEN 32:11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand
of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with
the children.
GEN 32:12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as
the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
GEN 32:13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to
his hand a present for Esau his brother;
GEN 32:14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and
twenty rams,
GEN 32:15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls,
twenty she asses, and ten foals.
GEN 32:16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by
themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space
betwixt drove and drove.
GEN 32:17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth
thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and
whose are these before thee?
GEN 32:18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present
sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
GEN 32:19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed
the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find
him.
GEN 32:20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he
said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward
I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
GEN 32:21 So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night
in the company.
GEN 32:22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two
womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
GEN 32:23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that
he had.
GEN 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until
the breaking of the day.
GEN 32:25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the
hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he
wrestled with him.
GEN 32:26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will
not let thee go, except thou bless me.
GEN 32:27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
GEN 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for
as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
GEN 32:29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And
he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him
there.
GEN 32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God
face to face, and my life is preserved.
GEN 32:31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted
upon his thigh.
GEN 32:32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank,
which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the
hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
GEN 33:1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and
with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto
Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
GEN 33:2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and
her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
GEN 33:3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven
times, until he came near to his brother.
GEN 33:4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and
kissed him: and they wept.
GEN 33:5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and
said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath
graciously given thy servant.
GEN 33:6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they
bowed themselves.
GEN 33:7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and
after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
GEN 33:8 And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he
said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
GEN 33:9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto
thyself.
GEN 33:10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy
sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy
face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
GEN 33:11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God
hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged
him, and he took it.
GEN 33:12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go
before thee.
GEN 33:13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are
tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should
overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
GEN 33:14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will
lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children
be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
GEN 33:15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are
with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my
lord.
GEN 33:16 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
GEN 33:17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made
booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
GEN 33:18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of
Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.
GEN 33:19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at
the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of
money.
GEN 33:20 And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.
GEN 34:1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out
to see the daughters of the land.
GEN 34:2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country,
saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
GEN 34:3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the
damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
GEN 34:4 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel
to wife.
GEN 34:5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons
were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were
come.
GEN 34:6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with
him.
GEN 34:7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and
the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly
in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter: which thing ought not to be done.
GEN 34:8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem
longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.
GEN 34:9 And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and
take our daughters unto you.
GEN 34:10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell
and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
GEN 34:11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find
grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
GEN 34:12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye
shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
GEN 34:13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father
deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
GEN 34:14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister
to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:
GEN 34:15 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that
every male of you be circumcised;
GEN 34:16 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your
daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
GEN 34:17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we
take our daughter, and we will be gone.
GEN 34:18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
GEN 34:19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had
delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of
his father.
GEN 34:20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and
communed with the men of their city, saying,
GEN 34:21 These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the
land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them;
let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our
daughters.
GEN 34:22 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be
one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
GEN 34:23 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast
of their's be our's? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with
us.
GEN 34:24 And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out
of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out
of the gate of his city.
GEN 34:25 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two
of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his
sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
GEN 34:26 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the
sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.
GEN 34:27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because
they had defiled their sister.
GEN 34:28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that
which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
GEN 34:29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives
took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
GEN 34:30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to
stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the
Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together
against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
GEN 34:31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
GEN 35:1 And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and
make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from
the face of Esau thy brother.
GEN 35:2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him,
Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your
garments:
GEN 35:3 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar
unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the
way which I went.
GEN 35:4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their
hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them
under the oak which was by Shechem.
GEN 35:5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that
were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
GEN 35:6 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is,
Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
GEN 35:7 And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because
there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
GEN 35:8 But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel
under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.
GEN 35:9 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and
blessed him.
GEN 35:10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be
called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name
Israel.
GEN 35:11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply;
a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out
of thy loins;
GEN 35:12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give
it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
GEN 35:13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
GEN 35:14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him,
even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured
oil thereon.
GEN 35:15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him,
Bethel.
GEN 35:16 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to
come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
GEN 35:17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife
said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
GEN 35:18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died)
that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
GEN 35:19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is
Bethlehem.
GEN 35:20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of
Rachel's grave unto this day.
GEN 35:21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
GEN 35:22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben
went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the
sons of Jacob were twelve:
GEN 35:23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and
Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
GEN 35:24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
GEN 35:25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
GEN 35:26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are
the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.
GEN 35:27 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of
Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
GEN 35:28 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
GEN 35:29 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his
people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
GEN 36:1 Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.
GEN 36:2 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of
Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon
the Hivite;
GEN 36:3 And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
GEN 36:4 And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;
GEN 36:5 And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons
of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan.
GEN 36:6 And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the
persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his
substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country
from the face of his brother Jacob.
GEN 36:7 For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and
the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their
cattle.
GEN 36:8 Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.
GEN 36:9 And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in
mount Seir:
GEN 36:10 These are the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife
of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau.
GEN 36:11 And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and
Kenaz.
GEN 36:12 And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to
Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife.
GEN 36:13 And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and
Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
GEN 36:14 And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the
daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and
Korah.
GEN 36:15 These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the
firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,
GEN 36:16 Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that
came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah.
GEN 36:17 And these are the sons of Reuel Esau's son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah,
duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land
of Edom; these are the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
GEN 36:18 And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau's wife; duke Jeush, duke
Jaalam, duke Korah: these were the dukes that came of Aholibamah the daughter
of Anah, Esau's wife.
GEN 36:19 These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes.
GEN 36:20 These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land;
Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,
GEN 36:21 And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the
Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.
GEN 36:22 And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister
was Timna.
GEN 36:23 And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and
Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
GEN 36:24 And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was
that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of
Zibeon his father.
GEN 36:25 And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the
daughter of Anah.
GEN 36:26 And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and
Ithran, and Cheran.
GEN 36:27 The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan.
GEN 36:28 The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran.
GEN 36:29 These are the dukes that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke
Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah,
GEN 36:30 Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came
of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir.
GEN 36:31 And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before
there reigned any king over the children of Israel.
GEN 36:32 And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city
was Dinhabah.
GEN 36:33 And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his
stead.
GEN 36:34 And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his
stead.
GEN 36:35 And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the
field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith.
GEN 36:36 And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.
GEN 36:37 And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his
stead.
GEN 36:38 And Saul died, and Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead.
GEN 36:39 And Baalhanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his
stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was
Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.
GEN 36:40 And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau, according
to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timnah, duke
Alvah, duke Jetheth,
GEN 36:41 Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon,
GEN 36:42 Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar,
GEN 36:43 Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according
to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father
of the Edomites.
GEN 37:1 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the
land of Canaan.
GEN 37:2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years
old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons
of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph
brought unto his father their evil report.
GEN 37:3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was
the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
GEN 37:4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all
his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
GEN 37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they
hated him yet the more.
GEN 37:6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have
dreamed:
GEN 37:7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf
arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round
about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
GEN 37:8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or
shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for
his dreams, and for his words.
GEN 37:9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said,
Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and
the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
GEN 37:10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father
rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed?
Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves
to thee to the earth?
GEN 37:11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
GEN 37:12 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
GEN 37:13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in
Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
GEN 37:14 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy
brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him
out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
GEN 37:15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the
field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
GEN 37:16 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they
feed their flocks.
GEN 37:17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let
us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in
Dothan.
GEN 37:18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto
them, they conspired against him to slay him.
GEN 37:19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
GEN 37:20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some
pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see
what will become of his dreams.
GEN 37:21 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and
said, Let us not kill him.
GEN 37:22 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit
that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him
out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
GEN 37:23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that
they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;
GEN 37:24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was
empty, there was no water in it.
GEN 37:25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and
looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their
camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
GEN 37:26 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our
brother, and conceal his blood?
GEN 37:27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand
be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were
content.
GEN 37:28 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and
lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for
twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
GEN 37:29 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the
pit; and he rent his clothes.
GEN 37:30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and
I, whither shall I go?
GEN 37:31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and
dipped the coat in the blood;
GEN 37:32 And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their
father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat
or no.
GEN 37:33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath
devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
GEN 37:34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and
mourned for his son many days.
GEN 37:35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but
he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave
unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.
GEN 37:36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of
Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
GEN 38:1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his
brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
GEN 38:2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was
Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
GEN 38:3 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
GEN 38:4 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name
Onan.
GEN 38:5 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name
Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
GEN 38:6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
GEN 38:7 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and
the LORD slew him.
GEN 38:8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry
her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
GEN 38:9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass,
when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground,
lest that he should give seed to his brother.
GEN 38:10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew
him also.
GEN 38:11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy
father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure
he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's
house.
GEN 38:12 And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and
Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and
his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
GEN 38:13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to
Timnath to shear his sheep.
GEN 38:14 And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with
a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to
Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to
wife.
GEN 38:15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had
covered her face.
GEN 38:16 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let
me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And
she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
GEN 38:17 And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said,
Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
GEN 38:18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy
signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave
it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
GEN 38:19 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put
on the garments of her widowhood.
GEN 38:20 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to
receive his pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not.
GEN 38:21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot,
that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this
place.
GEN 38:22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the
men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.
GEN 38:23 And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I
sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
GEN 38:24 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told
Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also,
behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and
let her be burnt.
GEN 38:25 When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying,
By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray
thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.
GEN 38:26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous
than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again
no more.
GEN 38:27 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins
were in her womb.
GEN 38:28 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his
hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying,
This came out first.
GEN 38:29 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his
brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be
upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.
GEN 38:30 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon
his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
GEN 39:1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of
Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the
Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
GEN 39:2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was
in the house of his master the Egyptian.
GEN 39:3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made
all that he did to prosper in his hand.
GEN 39:4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made
him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
GEN 39:5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in
his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's
house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he
had in the house, and in the field.
GEN 39:6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought
he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and
well favoured.
GEN 39:7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast
her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
GEN 39:8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master
wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he
hath to my hand;
GEN 39:9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back
any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this
great wickedness, and sin against God?
GEN 39:10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he
hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
GEN 39:11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house
to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
GEN 39:12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left
his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
GEN 39:13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in
her hand, and was fled forth,
GEN 39:14 That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them,
saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto
me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
GEN 39:15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and
cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.
GEN 39:16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
GEN 39:17 And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew
servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
GEN 39:18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left
his garment with me, and fled out.
GEN 39:19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife,
which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me;
that his wrath was kindled.
GEN 39:20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place
where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
GEN 39:21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him
favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
GEN 39:22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the
prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the
doer of it.
GEN 39:23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his
hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it
to prosper.
GEN 40:1 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king
of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
GEN 40:2 And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief
of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
GEN 40:3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard,
into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
GEN 40:4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served
them: and they continued a season in ward.
GEN 40:5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one
night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and
the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison.
GEN 40:6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon
them, and, behold, they were sad.
GEN 40:7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his
lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?
GEN 40:8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no
interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong
to God? tell me them, I pray you.
GEN 40:9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my
dream, behold, a vine was before me;
GEN 40:10 And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it
budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth
ripe grapes:
GEN 40:11 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed
them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
GEN 40:12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The
three branches are three days:
GEN 40:13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore
thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand,
after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
GEN 40:14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness,
I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out
of this house:
GEN 40:15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and
here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
GEN 40:16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said
unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets
on my head:
GEN 40:17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for
Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
GEN 40:18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof:
The three baskets are three days:
GEN 40:19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off
thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from
off thee.
GEN 40:20 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday,
that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the
chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
GEN 40:21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he
gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
GEN 40:22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
GEN 40:23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
GEN 41:1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh
dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
GEN 41:2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine
and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
GEN 41:3 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river,
ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink
of the river.
GEN 41:4 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well
favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
GEN 41:5 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of
corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
GEN 41:6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up
after them.
GEN 41:7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And
Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
GEN 41:8 And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and
he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men
thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could
interpret them unto Pharaoh.
GEN 41:9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my
faults this day:
GEN 41:10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the
captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:
GEN 41:11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man
according to the interpretation of his dream.
GEN 41:12 And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the
captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams;
to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
GEN 41:13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he
restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
GEN 41:14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily
out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came
in unto Pharaoh.
GEN 41:15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is
none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst
understand a dream to interpret it.
GEN 41:16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give
Pharaoh an answer of peace.
GEN 41:17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the
bank of the river:
GEN 41:18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed
and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
GEN 41:19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill
favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for
badness:
GEN 41:20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven
fat kine:
GEN 41:21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had
eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I
awoke.
GEN 41:22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk,
full and good:
GEN 41:23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east
wind, sprung up after them:
GEN 41:24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto
the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
GEN 41:25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath
shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
GEN 41:26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are
seven years: the dream is one.
GEN 41:27 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are
seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be
seven years of famine.
GEN 41:28 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is
about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
GEN 41:29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the
land of Egypt:
GEN 41:30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the
plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume
the land;
GEN 41:31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that
famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
GEN 41:32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because
the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
GEN 41:33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set
him over the land of Egypt.
GEN 41:34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and
take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
GEN 41:35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and
lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
GEN 41:36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years
of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not
through the famine.
GEN 41:37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of
all his servants.
GEN 41:38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this
is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
GEN 41:39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all
this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
GEN 41:40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all
my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
GEN 41:41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land
of Egypt.
GEN 41:42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon
Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold
chain about his neck;
GEN 41:43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they
cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of
Egypt.
GEN 41:44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall
no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
GEN 41:45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to
wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out
over all the land of Egypt.
GEN 41:46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of
Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout
all the land of Egypt.
GEN 41:47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by
handfuls.
GEN 41:48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were
in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the
field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
GEN 41:49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he
left numbering; for it was without number.
GEN 41:50 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came,
which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
GEN 41:51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said
he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
GEN 41:52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me
to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
GEN 41:53 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt,
were ended.
GEN 41:54 And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had
said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was
bread.
GEN 41:55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to
Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph;
what he saith to you, do.
GEN 41:56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened
all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore
in the land of Egypt.
GEN 41:57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because
that the famine was so sore in all lands.
GEN 42:1 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his
sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
GEN 42:2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get
you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
GEN 42:3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
GEN 42:4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for
he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
GEN 42:5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for
the famine was in the land of Canaan.
GEN 42:6 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to
all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down
themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
GEN 42:7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself
strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence
come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
GEN 42:8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
GEN 42:9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said
unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
GEN 42:10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy
servants come.
GEN 42:11 We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no
spies.
GEN 42:12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye
are come.
GEN 42:13 And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man
in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our
father, and one is not.
GEN 42:14 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying,
Ye are spies:
GEN 42:15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go
forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
GEN 42:16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be
kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in
you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
GEN 42:17 And he put them all together into ward three days.
GEN 42:18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I
fear God:
GEN 42:19 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of
your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:
GEN 42:20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be
verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
GEN 42:21 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our
brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we
would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
GEN 42:22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do
not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his
blood is required.
GEN 42:23 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto
them by an interpreter.
GEN 42:24 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned
to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound
him before their eyes.
GEN 42:25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore
every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and
thus did he unto them.
GEN 42:26 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
GEN 42:27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the
inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth.
GEN 42:28 And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is
even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying
one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
GEN 42:29 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and
told him all that befell unto them; saying,
GEN 42:30 The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took
us for spies of the country.
GEN 42:31 And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
GEN 42:32 We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the
youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
GEN 42:33 And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I
know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take
food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
GEN 42:34 And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye
are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your
brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.
GEN 42:35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every
man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father
saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
GEN 42:36 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my
children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away:
all these things are against me.
GEN 42:37 And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I
bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee
again.
GEN 42:38 And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is
dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye
go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
GEN 43:1 And the famine was sore in the land.
GEN 43:2 And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had
brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little
food.
GEN 43:3 And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto
us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
GEN 43:4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee
food:
GEN 43:5 But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said
unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
GEN 43:6 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the
man whether ye had yet a brother?
GEN 43:7 And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our
kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we
told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that
he would say, Bring your brother down?
GEN 43:8 And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we
will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also
our little ones.
GEN 43:9 I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I
bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame
for ever:
GEN 43:10 For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second
time.
GEN 43:11 And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do
this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the
man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts,
and almonds:
GEN 43:12 And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought
again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure
it was an oversight:
GEN 43:13 Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
GEN 43:14 And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send
away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am
bereaved.
GEN 43:15 And the men took that present, and they took double money in their
hand and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before
Joseph.
GEN 43:16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his
house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall
dine with me at noon.
GEN 43:17 And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into
Joseph's house.
GEN 43:18 And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's
house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at
the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and
fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.
GEN 43:19 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they
communed with him at the door of the house,
GEN 43:20 And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
GEN 43:21 And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our
sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money
in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
GEN 43:22 And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we
cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
GEN 43:23 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of
your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he
brought Simeon out unto them.
GEN 43:24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them
water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.
GEN 43:25 And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for
they heard that they should eat bread there.
GEN 43:26 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was
in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
GEN 43:27 And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father
well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?
GEN 43:28 And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is
yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
GEN 43:29 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his
mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto
me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.
GEN 43:30 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother:
and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
GEN 43:31 And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and
said, Set on bread.
GEN 43:32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and
for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the
Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination
unto the Egyptians.
GEN 43:33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his
birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled
one at another.
GEN 43:34 And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but
Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of their's. And they drank, and
were merry with him.
GEN 44:1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's
sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his
sack's mouth.
GEN 44:2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the
youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph
had spoken.
GEN 44:3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and
their asses.
GEN 44:4 And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph
said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake
them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
GEN 44:5 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he
divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
GEN 44:6 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
GEN 44:7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God
forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
GEN 44:8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought
again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of
thy lord's house silver or gold?
GEN 44:9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we
also will be my lord's bondmen.
GEN 44:10 And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with
whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
GEN 44:11 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and
opened every man his sack.
GEN 44:12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest:
and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
GEN 44:13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and
returned to the city.
GEN 44:14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet
there: and they fell before him on the ground.
GEN 44:15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot
ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
GEN 44:16 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak?
or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy
servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom
the cup is found.
GEN 44:17 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose
hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in
peace unto your father.
GEN 44:18 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy
servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger
burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
GEN 44:19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
GEN 44:20 And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child
of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left
of his mother, and his father loveth him.
GEN 44:21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I
may set mine eyes upon him.
GEN 44:22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he
should leave his father, his father would die.
GEN 44:23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come
down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
GEN 44:24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we
told him the words of my lord.
GEN 44:25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
GEN 44:26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us,
then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest
brother be with us.
GEN 44:27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me
two sons:
GEN 44:28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in
pieces; and I saw him not since:
GEN 44:29 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall
bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
GEN 44:30 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be
not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;
GEN 44:31 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us,
that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy
servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
GEN 44:32 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If
I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
GEN 44:33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad
a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
GEN 44:34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest
peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
GEN 45:1 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by
him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man
with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
GEN 45:2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
GEN 45:3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet
live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his
presence.
GEN 45:4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And
they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into
Egypt.
GEN 45:5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold
me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
GEN 45:6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there
are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.
GEN 45:7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the
earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
GEN 45:8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made
me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all
the land of Egypt.
GEN 45:9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy
son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
GEN 45:10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near
unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks,
and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
GEN 45:11 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of
famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to
poverty.
GEN 45:12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin,
that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
GEN 45:13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all
that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
GEN 45:14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin
wept upon his neck.
GEN 45:15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after
that his brethren talked with him.
GEN 45:16 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's
brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
GEN 45:17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye;
lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
GEN 45:18 And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I
will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the
land.
GEN 45:19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land
of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and
come.
GEN 45:20 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is
your's.
GEN 45:21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons,
according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
GEN 45:22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin
he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
GEN 45:23 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with
the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and
meat for his father by the way.
GEN 45:24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto
them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
GEN 45:25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto
Jacob their father,
GEN 45:26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over
all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not.
GEN 45:27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto
them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the
spirit of Jacob their father revived:
GEN 45:28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go
and see him before I die.
GEN 46:1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to
Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
GEN 46:2 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said,
Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
GEN 46:3 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down
into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
GEN 46:4 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring
thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.
GEN 46:5 And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of Israel carried
Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons
which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
GEN 46:6 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten
in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
GEN 46:7 His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons'
daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
GEN 46:8 And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into
Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.
GEN 46:9 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
GEN 46:10 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and
Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
GEN 46:11 And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
GEN 46:12 And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and
Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez
were Hezron and Hamul.
GEN 46:13 And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.
GEN 46:14 And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
GEN 46:15 These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram,
with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were
thirty and three.
GEN 46:16 And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and
Arodi, and Areli.
GEN 46:17 And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and
Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel.
GEN 46:18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his
daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.
GEN 46:19 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
GEN 46:20 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim,
which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
GEN 46:21 And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel,
Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
GEN 46:22 These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the
souls were fourteen.
GEN 46:23 And the sons of Dan; Hushim.
GEN 46:24 And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.
GEN 46:25 These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his
daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.
GEN 46:26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his
loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six;
GEN 46:27 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two
souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were
threescore and ten.
GEN 46:28 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto
Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
GEN 46:29 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his
father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his
neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
GEN 46:30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy
face, because thou art yet alive.
GEN 46:31 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I
will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's
house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
GEN 46:32 And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle;
and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
GEN 46:33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall
say, What is your occupation?
GEN 46:34 That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from
our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell
in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the
Egyptians.
GEN 47:1 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my
brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come
out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
GEN 47:2 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them
unto Pharaoh.
GEN 47:3 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they
said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.
GEN 47:4 They said morever unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we
come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is
sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants
dwell in the land of Goshen.
GEN 47:5 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren
are come unto thee:
GEN 47:6 The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy
father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if
thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my
cattle.
GEN 47:7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh:
and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
GEN 47:8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
GEN 47:9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage
are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of
my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of
my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
GEN 47:10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
GEN 47:11 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a
possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of
Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
GEN 47:12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his
father's household, with bread, according to their families.
GEN 47:13 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very
sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason
of the famine.
GEN 47:14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of
Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph
brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
GEN 47:15 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of
Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why
should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.
GEN 47:16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your
cattle, if money fail.
GEN 47:17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them
bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the
herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for
that year.
GEN 47:18 When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and
said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent;
my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight
of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
GEN 47:19 Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy
us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh:
and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not
desolate.
GEN 47:20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the
Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them:
so the land became Pharaoh's.
GEN 47:21 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the
borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
GEN 47:22 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a
portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh
gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.
GEN 47:23 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day
and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the
land.
GEN 47:24 And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the
fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the
field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for
your little ones.
GEN 47:25 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the
sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
GEN 47:26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that
Pharaoh should have the fifth part, except the land of the priests only,
which became not Pharaoh's.
GEN 47:27 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and
they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
GEN 47:28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole
age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
GEN 47:29 And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son
Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I
pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury
me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
GEN 47:30 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of
Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast
said.
GEN 47:31 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed
himself upon the bed's head.
GEN 48:1 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold,
thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
GEN 48:2 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto
thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
GEN 48:3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz
in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
GEN 48:4 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply
thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land
to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
GEN 48:5 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee
in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben
and Simeon, they shall be mine.
GEN 48:6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and
shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
GEN 48:7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land
of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto
Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
GEN 48:8 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
GEN 48:9 And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath
given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I
will bless them.
GEN 48:10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see.
And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
GEN 48:11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and,
lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
GEN 48:12 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed
himself with his face to the earth.
GEN 48:13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's
left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and
brought them near unto him.
GEN 48:14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's
head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding
his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
GEN 48:15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham
and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
GEN 48:16 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let
my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and
let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
GEN 48:17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the
head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to
remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
GEN 48:18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the
firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
GEN 48:19 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he
also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger
brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of
nations.
GEN 48:20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless,
saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before
Manasseh.
GEN 48:21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with
you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
GEN 48:22 Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which
I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
GEN 49:1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together,
that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
GEN 49:2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken
unto Israel your father.
GEN 49:3 Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my
strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
GEN 49:4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to
thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.
GEN 49:5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their
habitations.
GEN 49:6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine
honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their
selfwill they digged down a wall.
GEN 49:7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was
cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
GEN 49:8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be
in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before
thee.
GEN 49:9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he
stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him
up?
GEN 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between
his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people
be.
GEN 49:11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice
vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
GEN 49:12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
GEN 49:13 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an
haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
GEN 49:14 Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
GEN 49:15 And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant;
and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
GEN 49:16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
GEN 49:17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth
the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
GEN 49:18 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
GEN 49:19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
GEN 49:20 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal
dainties.
GEN 49:21 Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
GEN 49:22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose
branches run over the wall:
GEN 49:23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
GEN 49:24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made
strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the
shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
GEN 49:25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the
Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings
of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
GEN 49:26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my
progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on
the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate
from his brethren.
GEN 49:27 Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the
prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
GEN 49:28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their
father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing
he blessed them.
GEN 49:29 And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my
people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron
the Hittite,
GEN 49:30 In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before
Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron
the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.
GEN 49:31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried
Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
GEN 49:32 The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from
the children of Heth.
GEN 49:33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered
up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his
people.
GEN 50:1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed
him.
GEN 50:2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his
father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
GEN 50:3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days
of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and
ten days.
GEN 50:4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the
house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I
pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
GEN 50:5 My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have
digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore
let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.
GEN 50:6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made
thee swear.
GEN 50:7 And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the
servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land
of Egypt,
GEN 50:8 And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's
house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left
in the land of Goshen.
GEN 50:9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a
very great company.
GEN 50:10 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond
Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he
made a mourning for his father seven days.
GEN 50:11 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the
mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the
Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond
Jordan.
GEN 50:12 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
GEN 50:13 For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him
in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field
for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
GEN 50:14 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that
went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
GEN 50:15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they
said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the
evil which we did unto him.
GEN 50:16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did
command before he died, saying,
GEN 50:17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass
of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray
thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And
Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
GEN 50:18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they
said, Behold, we be thy servants.
GEN 50:19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
GEN 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto
good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
GEN 50:21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones.
And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
GEN 50:22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph
lived an hundred and ten years.
GEN 50:23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the
children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's
knees.
GEN 50:24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit
you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham,
to Isaac, and to Jacob.
GEN 50:25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will
surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
GEN 50:26 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they
embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
LEV.TXT
LEV 1:1 And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the
tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the
cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.

of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.

shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.

head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at
the side of the altar:

beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
LEV 1:17 And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide
it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that
is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a
sweet savour unto the LORD.

thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all
the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon
the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:

it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.

thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of
a sweet savour unto the LORD.

sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
LEV 2:11 No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made
with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering
of the LORD made by fire.
LEV 2:12 As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the
LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.

from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.

thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn

thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it
is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
LEV 3:1 And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it
of the herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without

at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the
priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
LEV 3:3 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering
made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the

flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take

LEV 3:10 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the

offering made by fire for a sweet savour: all the fat is the LORD's.
LEV 3:17 It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all
your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.
LEV 4:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 4:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through
ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which
ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:
LEV 4:3 If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the
people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock
without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.
LEV 4:4 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's
head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.
LEV 4:5 And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and
bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
LEV 4:6 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the
blood seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary.
LEV 4:7 And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar
of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the
congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom
of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation.
LEV 4:8 And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin
offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the
inwards,
LEV 4:9 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the
flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take
away,
LEV 4:10 As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace
offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt
offering.
LEV 4:11 And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and
with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
LEV 4:12 Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a
clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with
fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.
LEV 4:13 And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and
the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat
against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should
not be done, and are guilty;
LEV 4:14 When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the
congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before
the tabernacle of the congregation.
LEV 4:15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the
head of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before
the LORD.
LEV 4:16 And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood
to the tabernacle of the congregation:
LEV 4:17 And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and
sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail.
LEV 4:18 And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which
is before the LORD, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall
pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering,
which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
LEV 4:19 And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.
LEV 4:20 And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin
offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement
for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
LEV 4:21 And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him
as he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.
LEV 4:22 When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against
any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should
not be done, and is guilty;
LEV 4:23 Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he
shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:
LEV 4:24 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it
in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it is a sin
offering.
LEV 4:25 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his
finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall
pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.
LEV 4:26 And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the
sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him
as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
LEV 4:27 And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he
doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things
which ought not to be done, and be guilty;
LEV 4:28 Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he
shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for
his sin which he hath sinned.
LEV 4:29 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay
the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
LEV 4:30 And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and
put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all
the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.
LEV 4:31 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away
from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon
the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall make an
atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
LEV 4:32 And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female
without blemish.
LEV 4:33 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay
it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.
LEV 4:34 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his
finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall
pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:
LEV 4:35 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is
taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall
burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the
LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath
committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
LEV 5:1 And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness,
whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall
bear his iniquity.
LEV 5:2 Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an
unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean
creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and
guilty.
LEV 5:3 Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be
that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth
of it, then he shall be guilty.
LEV 5:4 Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do
good, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid
from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
LEV 5:5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that
he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:
LEV 5:6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin
which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats,
for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning
his sin.
LEV 5:7 And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his
trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons,
unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
LEV 5:8 And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is
for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall
not divide it asunder:
LEV 5:9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side
of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom
of the altar: it is a sin offering.
LEV 5:10 And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the
manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he
hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
LEV 5:11 But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons,
then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah
of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall
he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.
LEV 5:12 Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his
handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according
to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: it is a sin offering.
LEV 5:13 And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin
that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the
remnant shall be the priest's, as a meat offering.
LEV 5:14 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 5:15 If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy
things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram
without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver,
after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering.
LEV 5:16 And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy
thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest: and
the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass
offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
LEV 5:17 And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden
to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he wist it not, yet is he
guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
LEV 5:18 And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy
estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall
make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist
it not, and it shall be forgiven him.
LEV 5:19 It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the
LORD.
LEV 6:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 6:2 If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto
his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or
in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;
LEV 6:3 Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and
sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
LEV 6:4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall
restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath
deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost
thing which he found,
LEV 6:5 Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore
it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it
unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.
LEV 6:6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without
blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto
the priest:
LEV 6:7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it
shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing
therein.
LEV 6:8 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 6:9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt
offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all
night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.
LEV 6:10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches
shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath
consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside
the altar.
LEV 6:11 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and
carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.
LEV 6:12 And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be
put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the
burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the
peace offerings.
LEV 6:13 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
LEV 6:14 And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall
offer it before the LORD, before the altar.
LEV 6:15 And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat
offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the
meat offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the
memorial of it, unto the LORD.
LEV 6:16 And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with
unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the
tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it.
LEV 6:17 It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for
their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin
offering, and as the trespass offering.
LEV 6:18 All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall
be a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the
LORD made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.
LEV 6:19 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 6:20 This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer
unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of
fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half
thereof at night.
LEV 6:21 In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt
bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a
sweet savour unto the LORD.
LEV 6:22 And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer
it: it is a statute for ever unto the LORD; it shall be wholly burnt.
LEV 6:23 For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it
shall not be eaten.
LEV 6:24 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 6:25 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin
offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin
offering be killed before the LORD: it is most holy.
LEV 6:26 The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place
shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.
LEV 6:27 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when
there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash
that whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.
LEV 6:28 But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if
it be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.
LEV 6:29 All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.
LEV 6:30 And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the
tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall
be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
LEV 7:1 Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.
LEV 7:2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the
trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon
the altar.
LEV 7:3 And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat
that covereth the inwards,
LEV 7:4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the
flanks, and the caul that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he
take away:
LEV 7:5 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by
fire unto the LORD: it is a trespass offering.
LEV 7:6 Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten
in the holy place: it is most holy.
LEV 7:7 As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law
for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it.
LEV 7:8 And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering, even the priest
shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.
LEV 7:9 And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is
dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's that offereth
it.
LEV 7:10 And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the
sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.
LEV 7:11 And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he
shall offer unto the LORD.
LEV 7:12 If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the
sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened
wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.
LEV 7:13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread
with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.
LEV 7:14 And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave
offering unto the LORD, and it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the
blood of the peace offerings.
LEV 7:15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for
thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not
leave any of it until the morning.
LEV 7:16 But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary
offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and
on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:
LEV 7:17 But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day
shall be burnt with fire.
LEV 7:18 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be
eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be
imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul
that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.
LEV 7:19 And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it
shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat
thereof.
LEV 7:20 But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace
offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even
that soul shall be cut off from his people.
LEV 7:21 Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the
uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean
thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which
pertain unto the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
LEV 7:22 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 7:23 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of
fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
LEV 7:24 And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that
which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no
wise eat of it.
LEV 7:25 For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an
offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be
cut off from his people.
LEV 7:26 Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of
beast, in any of your dwellings.
LEV 7:27 Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul
shall be cut off from his people.
LEV 7:28 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 7:29 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the
sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto
the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.
LEV 7:30 His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the
fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a
wave offering before the LORD.
LEV 7:31 And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast
shall be Aaron's and his sons'.
LEV 7:32 And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for an heave
offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
LEV 7:33 He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace
offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.
LEV 7:34 For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the
children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have
given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from
among the children of Israel.
LEV 7:35 This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing
of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when
he presented them to minister unto the LORD in the priest's office;
LEV 7:36 Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel,
in the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their
generations.
LEV 7:37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and
of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations,
and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;
LEV 7:38 Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he
commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the LORD,
in the wilderness of Sinai.
LEV 8:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 8:2 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing
oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of
unleavened bread;
LEV 8:3 And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
LEV 8:4 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered
together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
LEV 8:5 And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD
commanded to be done.
LEV 8:6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.
LEV 8:7 And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and
clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with
the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.
LEV 8:8 And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate
the Urim and the Thummim.
LEV 8:9 And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his
forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
LEV 8:10 And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all
that was therein, and sanctified them.
LEV 8:11 And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the
altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them.
LEV 8:12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed
him, to sanctify him.
LEV 8:13 And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them, and girded
them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.
LEV 8:14 And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his
sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.
LEV 8:15 And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns
of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured
the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make
reconciliation upon it.
LEV 8:16 And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above
the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the
altar.
LEV 8:17 But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with
fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.
LEV 8:18 And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons
laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
LEV 8:19 And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round
about.
LEV 8:20 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the
pieces, and the fat.
LEV 8:21 And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the
whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an
offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
LEV 8:22 And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and
his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
LEV 8:23 And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon
the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon
the great toe of his right foot.
LEV 8:24 And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip
of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the
great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar
round about.
LEV 8:25 And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was upon the
inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their
fat, and the right shoulder:
LEV 8:26 And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD,
he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and
put them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder:
LEV 8:27 And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons' hands, and
waved them for a wave offering before the LORD.
LEV 8:28 And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar
upon the burnt offering: they were consecrations for a sweet savour: it is an
offering made by fire unto the LORD.
LEV 8:29 And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before
the LORD: for of the ram of consecration it was Moses' part; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
LEV 8:30 And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon
the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his
sons, and upon his sons' garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his
garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
LEV 8:31 And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that
is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons
shall eat it.
LEV 8:32 And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn
with fire.
LEV 8:33 And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end:
for seven days shall he consecrate you.
LEV 8:34 As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make
an atonement for you.
LEV 8:35 Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that
ye die not: for so I am commanded.
LEV 8:36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the
hand of Moses.
LEV 9:1 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his
sons, and the elders of Israel;
LEV 9:2 And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and
a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.
LEV 9:3 And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a
kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first
year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;
LEV 9:4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the
LORD; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the LORD will appear
unto you.
LEV 9:5 And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle
of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the
LORD.
LEV 9:6 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye
should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you.
LEV 9:7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin
offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for
the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for
them; as the LORD commanded.
LEV 9:8 Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin
offering, which was for himself.
LEV 9:9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his
finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out
the blood at the bottom of the altar:
LEV 9:10 But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin
offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.
LEV 9:11 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.
LEV 9:12 And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented unto him
the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
LEV 9:13 And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces
thereof, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.
LEV 9:14 And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the
burnt offering on the altar.
LEV 9:15 And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which was
the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the
first.
LEV 9:16 And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the
manner.
LEV 9:17 And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and
burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
LEV 9:18 He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace
offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons presented unto him the
blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,
LEV 9:19 And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which
covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver:
LEV 9:20 And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the
altar:
LEV 9:21 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave
offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
LEV 9:22 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and
came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and
peace offerings.
LEV 9:23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and
came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all
the people.
LEV 9:24 And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the
altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they
shouted, and fell on their faces.
LEV 10:1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his
censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange
fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.
LEV 10:2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they
died before the LORD.
LEV 10:3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I
will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I
will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
LEV 10:4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle
of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the
sanctuary out of the camp.
LEV 10:5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp;
as Moses had said.
LEV 10:6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his
sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and
lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house
of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled.
LEV 10:7 And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And
they did according to the word of Moses.
LEV 10:8 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,
LEV 10:9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee,
when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be
a statute for ever throughout your generations:
LEV 10:10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between
unclean and clean;
LEV 10:11 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which
the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
LEV 10:12 And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his
sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings
of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it
is most holy:
LEV 10:13 And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due, and
thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am
commanded.
LEV 10:14 And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean
place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they be thy
due, and thy sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace
offerings of the children of Israel.
LEV 10:15 The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the
offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the
LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, by a statute for ever;
as the LORD hath commanded.
LEV 10:16 And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and,
behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of
Aaron which were left alive, saying,
LEV 10:17 Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place,
seeing it is most holy, and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the
congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?
LEV 10:18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: ye
should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.
LEV 10:19 And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their
sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have
befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been
accepted in the sight of the LORD?
LEV 10:20 And when Moses heard that, he was content.
LEV 11:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
LEV 11:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which
ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
LEV 11:3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the
cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
LEV 11:4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or
of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but
divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
LEV 11:5 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof;
he is unclean unto you.
LEV 11:6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof;
he is unclean unto you.
LEV 11:7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he
cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
LEV 11:8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not
touch; they are unclean to you.
LEV 11:9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath
fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye
eat.
LEV 11:10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the
rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is
in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
LEV 11:11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat
of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
LEV 11:12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an
abomination unto you.
LEV 11:13 And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the
fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the
ossifrage, and the ospray,
LEV 11:14 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
LEV 11:15 Every raven after his kind;
LEV 11:16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after
his kind,
LEV 11:17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
LEV 11:18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
LEV 11:19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the
bat.
LEV 11:20 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination
unto you.
LEV 11:21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon
all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
LEV 11:22 Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the
bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the
grasshopper after his kind.
LEV 11:23 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be
an abomination unto you.
LEV 11:24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase
of them shall be unclean until the even.
LEV 11:25 And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the even.
LEV 11:26 The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not
clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that
toucheth them shall be unclean.
LEV 11:27 And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that
go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase
shall be unclean until the even.
LEV 11:28 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and
be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
LEV 11:29 These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that
creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his
kind,
LEV 11:30 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the
snail, and the mole.
LEV 11:31 These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch
them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
LEV 11:32 And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it
shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or
sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into
water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.
LEV 11:33 And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever
is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
LEV 11:34 Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh
shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall
be unclean.
LEV 11:35 And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be
unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down:
for they are unclean and shall be unclean unto you.
LEV 11:36 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water,
shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
LEV 11:37 And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is
to be sown, it shall be clean.
LEV 11:38 But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase
fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
LEV 11:39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the
carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
LEV 11:40 And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and
be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash
his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
LEV 11:41 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an
abomination; it shall not be eaten.
LEV 11:42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four,
or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the
earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
LEV 11:43 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that
creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should
be defiled thereby.
LEV 11:44 For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves,
and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with
any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
LEV 11:45 For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to
be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
LEV 11:46 This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living
creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon
the earth:
LEV 11:47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between
the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
LEV 12:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 12:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived
seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according
to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
LEV 12:3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
LEV 12:4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and
thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary,
until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.
LEV 12:5 But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as
in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying
threescore and six days.
LEV 12:6 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a
daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and
a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:
LEV 12:7 Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her;
and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for
her that hath born a male or a female.
LEV 12:8 And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two
turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other
for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she
shall be clean.
LEV 13:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
LEV 13:2 When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or
bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy;
then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the
priests:
LEV 13:3 And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and
when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be
deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest
shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
LEV 13:4 If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be
not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the
priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:
LEV 13:5 And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the
plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then
the priest shall shut him up seven days more:
LEV 13:6 And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold,
if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the
priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his
clothes, and be clean.
LEV 13:7 But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath
been seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest
again.
LEV 13:8 And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the
skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.
LEV 13:9 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto
the priest;
LEV 13:10 And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white
in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh
in the rising;
LEV 13:11 It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall
pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean.
LEV 13:12 And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover
all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his foot,
wheresoever the priest looketh;
LEV 13:13 Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have
covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it
is all turned white: he is clean.
LEV 13:14 But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
LEV 13:15 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be
unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.
LEV 13:16 Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall
come unto the priest;
LEV 13:17 And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague be turned
into white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague:
he is clean.
LEV 13:18 The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and
is healed,
LEV 13:19 And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright
spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the priest;
LEV 13:20 And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than
the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce
him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.
LEV 13:21 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs
therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then the
priest shall shut him up seven days:
LEV 13:22 And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall
pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
LEV 13:23 But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a
burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
LEV 13:24 Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot
burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat
reddish, or white;
LEV 13:25 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the
bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a
leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him
unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
LEV 13:26 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair
in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat
dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
LEV 13:27 And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be
spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean:
it is the plague of leprosy.
LEV 13:28 And if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not in the
skin, but it be somewhat dark; it is a rising of the burning, and the priest
shall pronounce him clean: for it is an inflammation of the burning.
LEV 13:29 If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;
LEV 13:30 Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it be in sight
deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest
shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head
or beard.
LEV 13:31 And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it
be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it;
then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven
days:
LEV 13:32 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and,
behold, if the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the
scall be not in sight deeper than the skin;
LEV 13:33 He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest
shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more:
LEV 13:34 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and,
behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than
the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his
clothes, and be clean.
LEV 13:35 But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
LEV 13:36 Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be
spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.
LEV 13:37 But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black
hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall
pronounce him clean.
LEV 13:38 If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright
spots, even white bright spots;
LEV 13:39 Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the
skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth
in the skin; he is clean.
LEV 13:40 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he
clean.
LEV 13:41 And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head
toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.
LEV 13:42 And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish
sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
LEV 13:43 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising
of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as
the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;
LEV 13:44 He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him
utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.
LEV 13:45 And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and
his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry,
Unclean, unclean.
LEV 13:46 All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled;
he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation
be.
LEV 13:47 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a
woollen garment, or a linen garment;
LEV 13:48 Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether
in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;
LEV 13:49 And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the
skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a
plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest:
LEV 13:50 And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath
the plague seven days:
LEV 13:51 And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be
spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or
in any work that is made of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is
unclean.
LEV 13:52 He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in
woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a
fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.
LEV 13:53 And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread
in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;
LEV 13:54 Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the
plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
LEV 13:55 And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed:
and, behold, if the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not
spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward,
whether it be bare within or without.
LEV 13:56 And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark
after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out
of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:
LEV 13:57 And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the
woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn that
wherein the plague is with fire.
LEV 13:58 And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin
it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it
shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.
LEV 13:59 This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or
linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it
clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
LEV 14:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 14:2 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He
shall be brought unto the priest:
LEV 14:3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall
look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper;
LEV 14:4 Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed
two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
LEV 14:5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an
earthen vessel over running water:
LEV 14:6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the
scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood
of the bird that was killed over the running water:
LEV 14:7 And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the
leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living
bird loose into the open field.
LEV 14:8 And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off
all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that
he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven
days.
LEV 14:9 But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair
off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave
off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in
water, and he shall be clean.
LEV 14:10 And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without
blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth
deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of
oil.
LEV 14:11 And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man that is
to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation:
LEV 14:12 And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass
offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the
LORD:
LEV 14:13 And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin
offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering
is the priest's, so is the trespass offering: it is most holy:
LEV 14:14 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass
offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him
that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the
great toe of his right foot:
LEV 14:15 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into
the palm of his own left hand:
LEV 14:16 And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his
left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before
the LORD:
LEV 14:17 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put
upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the
thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the
blood of the trespass offering:
LEV 14:18 And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall
pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make
an atonement for him before the LORD.
LEV 14:19 And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement
for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall
kill the burnt offering:
LEV 14:20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering
upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall
be clean.
LEV 14:21 And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one
lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and
one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log
of oil;
LEV 14:22 And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to
get; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
LEV 14:23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the
priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD.
LEV 14:24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the
log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the
LORD:
LEV 14:25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest
shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the
tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his
right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
LEV 14:26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left
hand:
LEV 14:27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil
that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD:
LEV 14:28 And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip
of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his
right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the
blood of the trespass offering:
LEV 14:29 And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put
upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him
before the LORD.
LEV 14:30 And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young
pigeons, such as he can get;
LEV 14:31 Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the
other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make
an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD.
LEV 14:32 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand
is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.
LEV 14:33 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
LEV 14:34 When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a
possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your
possession;
LEV 14:35 And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying,
It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:
LEV 14:36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the
priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not
made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:
LEV 14:37 And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be
in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in
sight are lower than the wall;
LEV 14:38 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the
house, and shut up the house seven days:
LEV 14:39 And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look:
and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;
LEV 14:40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in
which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without
the city:
LEV 14:41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and
they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an
unclean place:
LEV 14:42 And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those
stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.
LEV 14:43 And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that
he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after
it is plaistered;
LEV 14:44 Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be
spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean.
LEV 14:45 And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber
thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out
of the city into an unclean place.
LEV 14:46 Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut
up shall be unclean until the even.
LEV 14:47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that
eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
LEV 14:48 And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the
plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the
priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
LEV 14:49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar
wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
LEV 14:50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over
running water:
LEV 14:51 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the
scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain
bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:
LEV 14:52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with
the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and
with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:
LEV 14:53 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open
fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.
LEV 14:54 This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,
LEV 14:55 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
LEV 14:56 And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
LEV 14:57 To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law
of leprosy.
LEV 15:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
LEV 15:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man
hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.
LEV 15:3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run
with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his
uncleanness.
LEV 15:4 Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and
every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.
LEV 15:5 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

even.

even.

unclean.
LEV 15:10 And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean
until the even: and he that beareth any of those things shall wash his
clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
LEV 15:11 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed
his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in
water, and be unclean until the even.
LEV 15:12 And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue,
shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
LEV 15:13 And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he
shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his
clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
LEV 15:14 And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two
young pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, and give them unto the priest:
LEV 15:15 And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the
other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him
before the LORD for his issue.
LEV 15:16 And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall
wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.
LEV 15:17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of
copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
LEV 15:18 The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they
shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.
LEV 15:19 And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood,
she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be
unclean until the even.
LEV 15:20 And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be
unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
LEV 15:21 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
LEV 15:22 And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his
clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
LEV 15:23 And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when
he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.
LEV 15:24 And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he
shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be
unclean.
LEV 15:25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time
of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the
days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation:
she shall be unclean.
LEV 15:26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto
her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be
unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.
LEV 15:27 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash
his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
LEV 15:28 But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to
herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
LEV 15:29 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two
young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation.
LEV 15:30 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other
for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before
the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.
LEV 15:31 Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their
uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my
tabernacle that is among them.
LEV 15:32 This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed
goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;
LEV 15:33 And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an
issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is
unclean.
LEV 16:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of
Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died;
LEV 16:2 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he
come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy
seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud
upon the mercy seat.
LEV 16:3 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a
sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
LEV 16:4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen
breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with
the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall
he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on.
LEV 16:5 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two
kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
LEV 16:6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for
himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
LEV 16:7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
LEV 16:8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the
LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
LEV 16:9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's lot fell, and
offer him for a sin offering.
LEV 16:10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be
presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let
him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
LEV 16:11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for
himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and
shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:
LEV 16:12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off
the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten
small, and bring it within the vail:
LEV 16:13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the
cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony,
that he die not:
LEV 16:14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with
his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he
sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
LEV 16:15 Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the
people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did
with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and
before the mercy seat:
LEV 16:16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the
uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in
all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation,
that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
LEV 16:17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when
he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and
have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the
congregation of Israel.
LEV 16:18 And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make
an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the
blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.
LEV 16:19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven
times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of
Israel.
LEV 16:20 And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the
tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:
LEV 16:21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live
goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and
all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the
goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
LEV 16:22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land
not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
LEV 16:23 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and
shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy
place, and shall leave them there:
LEV 16:24 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on
his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt
offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the
people.
LEV 16:25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.
LEV 16:26 And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his
clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.
LEV 16:27 And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin
offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place,
shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their
skins, and their flesh, and their dung.
LEV 16:28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh
in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
LEV 16:29 And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh
month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no
work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that
sojourneth among you:
LEV 16:30 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to
cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
LEV 16:31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your
souls, by a statute for ever.
LEV 16:32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate
to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the
atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments:
LEV 16:33 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall
make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the
altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people
of the congregation.
LEV 16:34 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an
atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he
did as the LORD commanded Moses.
LEV 17:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 17:2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of
Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded,
saying,
LEV 17:3 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox,
or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,
LEV 17:4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the
LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man
shall be cut off from among his people:
LEV 17:5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices,
which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the
LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the
priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD.
LEV 17:6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet
savour unto the LORD.
LEV 17:7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom
they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them
throughout their generations.
LEV 17:8 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of
Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt
offering or sacrifice,
LEV 17:9 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from
among his people.
LEV 17:10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the
strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will
even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off
from among his people.
LEV 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to
you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood
that maketh an atonement for the soul.
LEV 17:12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall
eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
LEV 17:13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the
strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or
fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover
it with dust.
LEV 17:14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life
thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood
of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof:
whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
LEV 17:15 And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which
was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger,
he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean
until the even: then shall he be clean.
LEV 17:16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his
iniquity.
LEV 18:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 18:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD
your God.
LEV 18:3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not
do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye
not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
LEV 18:4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein:
I am the LORD your God.
LEV 18:5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man
do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
LEV 18:6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to
uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
LEV 18:7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt
thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
LEV 18:8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy
father's nakedness.
LEV 18:9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter
of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their
nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
LEV 18:10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter,
even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own
nakedness.
LEV 18:11 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy
father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
LEV 18:12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is
thy father's near kinswoman.
LEV 18:13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she
is thy mother's near kinswoman.
LEV 18:14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou
shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
LEV 18:15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is
thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
LEV 18:16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is
thy brother's nakedness.
LEV 18:17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter,
neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to
uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
LEV 18:18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover
her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
LEV 18:19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness,
as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
LEV 18:20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to
defile thyself with her.
LEV 18:21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to
Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
LEV 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is
abomination.
LEV 18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith:
neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is
confusion.
LEV 18:24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these
the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
LEV 18:25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof
upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
LEV 18:26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not
commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any
stranger that sojourneth among you:
LEV 18:27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which
were before you, and the land is defiled;)
LEV 18:28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued
out the nations that were before you.
LEV 18:29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls
that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
LEV 18:30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one
of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye
defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
LEV 19:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 19:2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say
unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.
LEV 19:3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my
sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
LEV 19:4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the
LORD your God.
LEV 19:5 And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye
shall offer it at your own will.
LEV 19:6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if
ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
LEV 19:7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it
shall not be accepted.
LEV 19:8 Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because
he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut
off from among his people.
LEV 19:9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap
the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy
harvest.
LEV 19:10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather
every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger:
I am the LORD your God.
LEV 19:11 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to
another.
LEV 19:12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou
profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
LEV 19:13 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of
him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
LEV 19:14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the
blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.
LEV 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect
the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in
righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
LEV 19:16 Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people:
neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the LORD.
LEV 19:17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any
wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
LEV 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of
thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
LEV 19:19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with
a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall
a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
LEV 19:20 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid,
betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she
shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
LEV 19:21 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass
offering.
LEV 19:22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the
trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin
which he hath done shall be forgiven him.
LEV 19:23 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all
manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as
uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall
not be eaten of.
LEV 19:24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise
the LORD withal.
LEV 19:25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may
yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.
LEV 19:26 Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use
enchantment, nor observe times.
LEV 19:27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar
the corners of thy beard.
LEV 19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print
any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
LEV 19:29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the
land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
LEV 19:30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the
LORD.
LEV 19:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after
wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
LEV 19:32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the
old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD.
LEV 19:33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex
him.
LEV 19:34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one
born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers
in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
LEV 19:35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight,
or in measure.
LEV 19:36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye
have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
LEV 19:37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments,
and do them: I am the LORD.
LEV 20:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 20:2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be
of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that
giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the
people of the land shall stone him with stones.
LEV 20:3 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from
among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my
sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
LEV 20:4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the
man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
LEV 20:5 Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and
will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom
with Molech, from among their people.
LEV 20:6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and
after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against
that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
LEV 20:7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your
God.
LEV 20:8 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which
sanctify you.
LEV 20:9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely
put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be
upon him.
LEV 20:10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even
he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the
adulteress shall surely be put to death.
LEV 20:11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his
father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood
shall be upon them.
LEV 20:12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely
be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.
LEV 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both
of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death;
their blood shall be upon them.
LEV 20:14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they
shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among
you.
LEV 20:15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and
ye shall slay the beast.
LEV 20:16 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou
shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their
blood shall be upon them.
LEV 20:17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his
mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a
wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath
uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
LEV 20:18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall
uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath
uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from
among their people.
LEV 20:19 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor
of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their
iniquity.
LEV 20:20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his
uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
LEV 20:21 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing:
he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
LEV 20:22 Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and
do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not
out.
LEV 20:23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out
before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred
them.
LEV 20:24 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will
give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am
the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.
LEV 20:25 Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and
unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your
souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that
creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
LEV 20:26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have
severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.
LEV 20:27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a
wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones:
their blood shall be upon them.
LEV 21:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of
Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his
people:
LEV 21:2 But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and
for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother.
LEV 21:3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no
husband; for her may he be defiled.
LEV 21:4 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people,
to profane himself.
LEV 21:5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they
shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
LEV 21:6 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their
God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their
God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.
LEV 21:7 They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall
they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God.
LEV 21:8 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy
God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which sanctify you, am holy.
LEV 21:9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the
whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
LEV 21:10 And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head
the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments,
shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;
LEV 21:11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his
father, or for his mother;
LEV 21:12 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary
of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am
the LORD.
LEV 21:13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
LEV 21:14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall
he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.
LEV 21:15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD
do sanctify him.
LEV 21:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 21:17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their
generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of
his God.
LEV 21:18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach:
a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing
superfluous,
LEV 21:19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
LEV 21:20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be
scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
LEV 21:21 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall
come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish;
he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
LEV 21:22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the
holy.
LEV 21:23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar,
because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD
do sanctify them.
LEV 21:24 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the
children of Israel.
LEV 22:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 22:2 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from
the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy
name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am the LORD.
LEV 22:3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your
generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel
hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut
off from my presence: I am the LORD.
LEV 22:4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running
issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso
toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth
from him;
LEV 22:5 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made
unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he
hath;
LEV 22:6 The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and
shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.
LEV 22:7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat
of the holy things; because it is his food.
LEV 22:8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat
to defile himself therewith; I am the LORD.
LEV 22:9 They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for
it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
LEV 22:10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the
priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
LEV 22:11 But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of
it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.
LEV 22:12 If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may
not eat of an offering of the holy things.
LEV 22:13 But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no
child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall
eat of her father's meat: but there shall be no stranger eat thereof.
LEV 22:14 And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put
the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the
holy thing.
LEV 22:15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of
Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;
LEV 22:16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their
holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
LEV 22:17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 22:18 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of
Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the
strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for
all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt
offering;
LEV 22:19 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the
beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
LEV 22:20 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall
not be acceptable for you.
LEV 22:21 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD
to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be
perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
LEV 22:22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed,
ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them
upon the altar unto the LORD.
LEV 22:23 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or
lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for
a vow it shall not be accepted.
LEV 22:24 Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed,
or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land.
LEV 22:25 Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God
of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be
in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
LEV 22:26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 22:27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it
shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it
shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
LEV 22:28 And whether it be cow, or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young
both in one day.
LEV 22:29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD,
offer it at your own will.
LEV 22:30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it
until the morrow: I am the LORD.
LEV 22:31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
LEV 22:32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among
the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,
LEV 22:33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the
LORD.
LEV 23:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the
feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even
these are my feasts.
LEV 23:3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of
rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath
of the LORD in all your dwellings.
LEV 23:4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye
shall proclaim in their seasons.
LEV 23:5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's
passover.
LEV 23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened
bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
LEV 23:7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no
servile work therein.
LEV 23:8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days:
in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work
therein.
LEV 23:9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 23:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be
come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest
thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto
the priest:
LEV 23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you:
on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
LEV 23:12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb
without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
LEV 23:13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour
mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour:
and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
LEV 23:14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears,
until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it
shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your
dwellings.
LEV 23:15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from
the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall
be complete:
LEV 23:16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty
days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
LEV 23:17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth
deals; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are
the firstfruits unto the LORD.
LEV 23:18 And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the
first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt
offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings,
even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.
LEV 23:19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and
two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
LEV 23:20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for
a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy
to the LORD for the priest.
LEV 23:21 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy
convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a
statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
LEV 23:22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean
riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou
gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and
to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
LEV 23:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month,
in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing
of trumpets, an holy convocation.
LEV 23:25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering
made by fire unto the LORD.
LEV 23:26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 23:27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of
atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict
your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
LEV 23:28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of
atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
LEV 23:29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same
day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
LEV 23:30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the
same soul will I destroy from among his people.
LEV 23:31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
LEV 23:32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your
souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye
celebrate your sabbath.
LEV 23:33 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 23:34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this
seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
LEV 23:35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no
servile work therein.
LEV 23:36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on
the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an
offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do
no servile work therein.
LEV 23:37 These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy
convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt
offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing
upon his day:
LEV 23:38 Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside
all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the
LORD.
LEV 23:39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have
gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven
days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a
sabbath.
LEV 23:40 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees,
branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the
brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
LEV 23:41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year.
It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it
in the seventh month.
LEV 23:42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born
shall dwell in booths:
LEV 23:43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to
dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD
your God.
LEV 23:44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the
LORD.
LEV 24:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 24:2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil
olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.
LEV 24:3 Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the
congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before
the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations.
LEV 24:4 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD
continually.
LEV 24:5 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two
tenth deals shall be in one cake.
LEV 24:6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure
table before the LORD.
LEV 24:7 And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on
the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
LEV 24:8 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually,
being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.
LEV 24:9 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the
holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by
fire by a perpetual statute.
LEV 24:10 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian,
went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman
and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
LEV 24:11 And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and
cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name was
Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)
LEV 24:12 And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed
them.
LEV 24:13 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 24:14 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that
heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone
him.
LEV 24:15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever
curseth his God shall bear his sin.
LEV 24:16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put
to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the
stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the
Lord, shall be put to death.
LEV 24:17 And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.
LEV 24:18 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.
LEV 24:19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so
shall it be done to him;
LEV 24:20 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a
blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.
LEV 24:21 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that
killeth a man, he shall be put to death.
LEV 24:22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for
one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.
LEV 24:23 And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring
forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the
children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
LEV 25:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
LEV 25:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come
into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the
LORD.
LEV 25:3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune
thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
LEV 25:4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a
sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy
vineyard.
LEV 25:5 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not
reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of
rest unto the land.
LEV 25:6 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for
thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy
stranger that sojourneth with thee.
LEV 25:7 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all
the increase thereof be meat.
LEV 25:8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times
seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee
forty and nine years.
LEV 25:9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth
day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet
sound throughout all your land.
LEV 25:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty
throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a
jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye
shall return every man unto his family.
LEV 25:11 A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow,
neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it
of thy vine undressed.
LEV 25:12 For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the
increase thereof out of the field.
LEV 25:13 In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his
possession.
LEV 25:14 And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy
neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
LEV 25:15 According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of
thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall
sell unto thee:
LEV 25:16 According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price
thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price
of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell
unto thee.
LEV 25:17 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy
God:for I am the LORD your God.
LEV 25:18 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do
them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
LEV 25:19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and
dwell therein in safety.
LEV 25:20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we
shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
LEV 25:21 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it
shall bring forth fruit for three years.
LEV 25:22 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the
ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.
LEV 25:23 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for ye
are strangers and sojourners with me.
LEV 25:24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption
for the land.
LEV 25:25 If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his
possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem
that which his brother sold.
LEV 25:26 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem
it;
LEV 25:27 Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the
overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his
possession.
LEV 25:28 But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold
shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile:
and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
LEV 25:29 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may
redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he
redeem it.
LEV 25:30 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the
house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that
bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.
LEV 25:31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them
shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they
shall go out in the jubile.
LEV 25:32 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the
cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
LEV 25:33 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was
sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for
the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the
children of Israel.
LEV 25:34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it
is their perpetual possession.
LEV 25:35 And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee;
then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner;
that he may live with thee.
LEV 25:36 Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy
brother may live with thee.
LEV 25:37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy
victuals for increase.
LEV 25:38 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of
Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
LEV 25:39 And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold
unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
LEV 25:40 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with
thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile.
LEV 25:41 And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with
him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his
fathers shall he return.
LEV 25:42 For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of
Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.
LEV 25:43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.
LEV 25:44 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be
of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and
bondmaids.
LEV 25:45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you,
of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they
begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
LEV 25:46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after
you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever:
but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over
another with rigour.
LEV 25:47 And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother
that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or
sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:
LEV 25:48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren
may redeem him:
LEV 25:49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is
nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may
redeem himself.
LEV 25:50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he
was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be
according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant
shall it be with him.
LEV 25:51 If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give
again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
LEV 25:52 And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he
shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again
the price of his redemption.
LEV 25:53 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other
shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.
LEV 25:54 And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out
in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.
LEV 25:55 For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my
servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your
God.
LEV 26:1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a
standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to
bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
LEV 26:2 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
LEV 26:3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
LEV 26:4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her
increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
LEV 26:5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage
shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the
full, and dwell in your land safely.
LEV 26:6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none
shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither
shall the sword go through your land.
LEV 26:7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by
the sword.
LEV 26:8 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall
put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the
sword.
LEV 26:9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply
you, and establish my covenant with you.
LEV 26:10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the
new.
LEV 26:11 And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
LEV 26:12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my
people.
LEV 26:13 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of
Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of
your yoke, and made you go upright.
LEV 26:14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these
commandments;
LEV 26:15 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my
judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my
covenant:
LEV 26:16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror,
consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause
sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall
eat it.
LEV 26:17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before
your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when
none pursueth you.
LEV 26:18 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will
punish you seven times more for your sins.
LEV 26:19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your
heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
LEV 26:20 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not
yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
LEV 26:21 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I
will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
LEV 26:22 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your
children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high
ways shall be desolate.
LEV 26:23 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk
contrary unto me;
LEV 26:24 Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet
seven times for your sins.
LEV 26:25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of
my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will
send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the
enemy.
LEV 26:26 And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake
your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by
weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
LEV 26:27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary
unto me;
LEV 26:28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will
chastise you seven times for your sins.
LEV 26:29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your
daughters shall ye eat.
LEV 26:30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and
cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor
you.
LEV 26:31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto
desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
LEV 26:32 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which
dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
LEV 26:33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword
after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
LEV 26:34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth
desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and
enjoy her sabbaths.
LEV 26:35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest
in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
LEV 26:36 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness
into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken
leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they
shall fall when none pursueth.
LEV 26:37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword,
when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
LEV 26:38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies
shall eat you up.
LEV 26:39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in
your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they
pine away with them.
LEV 26:40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their
fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also
they have walked contrary unto me;
LEV 26:41 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought
them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be
humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
LEV 26:42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant
with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will
remember the land.
LEV 26:43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths,
while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the
punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my
judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
LEV 26:44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I
will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them
utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.
LEV 26:45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors,
whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen,
that I might be their God: I am the LORD.
LEV 26:46 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made
between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
LEV 27:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEV 27:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man
shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy
estimation.
LEV 27:3 And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even
unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver,
after the shekel of the sanctuary.
LEV 27:4 And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
LEV 27:5 And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy
estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten
shekels.
LEV 27:6 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy
estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female
thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.
LEV 27:7 And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then
thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
LEV 27:8 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present
himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his
ability that vowed shall the priest value him.
LEV 27:9 And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD,
all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.
LEV 27:10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for
a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the
exchange thereof shall be holy.
LEV 27:11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a
sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:
LEV 27:12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou
valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.
LEV 27:13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part
thereof unto thy estimation.
LEV 27:14 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the
LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the
priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
LEV 27:15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall
add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be
his.
LEV 27:16 And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of
his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof:
an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
LEV 27:17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy
estimation it shall stand.
LEV 27:18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall
reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the
year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.
LEV 27:19 And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then
he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it
shall be assured to him.
LEV 27:20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to
another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.
LEV 27:21 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto
the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.
LEV 27:22 And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought,
which is not of the fields of his possession;
LEV 27:23 Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation,
even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that
day, as a holy thing unto the LORD.
LEV 27:24 In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it
was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.
LEV 27:25 And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the
sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
LEV 27:26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD's
firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the
LORD's.
LEV 27:27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according
to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be
not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
LEV 27:28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the
LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his
possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto
the LORD.
LEV 27:29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but
shall surely be put to death.
LEV 27:30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or
of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's: it is holy unto the LORD.
LEV 27:31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add
thereto the fifth part thereof.
LEV 27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of
whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
LEV 27:33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he
change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof
shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
LEV 27:34 These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the
children of Israel in mount Sinai.

QUESTION.TXT
Q: Where's the display program to let me read the Bible?
A: The files on the Bible diskettes are ASCII text files, and were so large
that we were unable to find a text display program that would be able to
display an entire book without errors. Therefore, we have not included a
program to display the files.
Q: So, how do I read the files?
A: There are a number of ways you could read the Bible text files. If you
have a word processor, you could load the files into it, and read them
through it. Or, by using the DOS TYPE command, you could read the files on
your computer's screen. For example, to read the topics list, your would
use the command:
TYPE TOPICS.OUT <enter>
Q: What if I want to print the Bible out to my printer?
A: Again, if you have a word processor, you could load the book of the
Bible you wish to print into it, then print it from there. Or you could use
one of the following DOS commands to print the file. For example, and using
the Topics list again:
PRINT TOPICS.OUT <enter>
or
COPY TOPICS.OUT PRN: <enter>
Q: Who wrote these Bible Disks?
A: As far as we know, the text files which make up this Bible-on-disk are
public domain and not owned by anyone. As to who actually typed in every
word, we don't know.
