2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the

6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw

11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after

12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he

17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may

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.

22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and

25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that

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

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he

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

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.

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.

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the

2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all

3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which

4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD

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.

6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;

8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

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.

10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four

11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the

15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

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

18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for

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,

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

21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and

22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one

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?

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

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

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods,

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

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves

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.

10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee

12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The

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:

15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy

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.

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

18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken:

20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

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:

23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was

24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword

1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the

2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the

4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect

5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee

8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up

9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's

10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from

12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond

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

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.

16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of

18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael

19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.

21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.

22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of

23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my

25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath

26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon

1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made

2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they

3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and

4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and

5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

7 And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:

10 And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:

13 And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:

16 And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:

17 And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.

19 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

20 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.

22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and

26 And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and

27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.

29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our

30 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:

31 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.

1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which

3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall

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

5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the

6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

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.

9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked

11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the

14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without

15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the

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.

17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath

18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy

19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive

20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind,

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

1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous

2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not

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.

4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living

6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the

8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the

9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

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.

13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife,

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.

15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD

17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift

18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the

19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole

20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every

22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

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

1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God

2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was

4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of

5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the

6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:

7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

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

10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah

12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.

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,

14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.

16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

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,

18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:

19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their

20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and

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

22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

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.

3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the

6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth

11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a

12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living

13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh;

16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant

17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all

18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father

19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

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

24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born

2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families,

7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah;

9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites

19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto

20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were

25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and

30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.

31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the

2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they

3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for

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

5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do:

7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's

8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the

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.

10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after

11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.

19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.

21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.

23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.

27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.

28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.

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.

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

32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.

1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy

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

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the

4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy

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

6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite

7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an

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

10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was

11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and

13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live

14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she

15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into

16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants,

17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.

18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me

19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife,

20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he

1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.

3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the

4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the

6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so

7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the

8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my

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.

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

11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one

12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent

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:

15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

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

17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built

1 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of

2 That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah,

4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

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 Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.

7 And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites,

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;

9 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and

10 And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there;

11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.

12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

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 Eschol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.

14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own

15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them

16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women

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.

18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high

19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him

21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.

22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the

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

24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner,

1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy

2 And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is

3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.

4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall

5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to

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

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

10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but

12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell

13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and

14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great

15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a

18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land,

21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was

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.

3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of

4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was

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.

6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai

7 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way

8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from

9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be

11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call

12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he

13 And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also

14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am

2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.

4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many

6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an

8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of

9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their

10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child

11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and

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.

13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my

14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off

15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her

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

17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is

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.

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.

21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next

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

24 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised

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;

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

3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are

6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal,

7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he

8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by

9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.

10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall

11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the

12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being

13 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child,

14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of

15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.

16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them

18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall

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

20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very

21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come

22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the

23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the

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?

26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for

27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am

28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And

29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I

30 And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be

31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be

32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be

33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned

1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose

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

3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made

4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both

5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring

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

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

10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that

12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and

13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and

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.

15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two

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

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.

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:

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

21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this

22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the

24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of

25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew

27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:

28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the

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.

30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to

31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in

32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our

33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he

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

35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he

37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this

38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children

1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and

2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the

4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?

5 Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of

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.

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.

8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their

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

10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?

11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for

12 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and

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

14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto

15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.

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.

17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they

18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's

1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.

2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to

3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.

4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.

6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.

7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have

8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.

9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.

10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman

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.

13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

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

15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.

16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: 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.

17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called 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.

18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.

19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and

20 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto

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

25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently

26 And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of

27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.

29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by

30 And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me,

31 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.

32 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his

33 And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting

1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he

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.

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

5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and

6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his

7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he

8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of

9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood

11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said,

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.

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.

14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the

16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not

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;

18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and

20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also

23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and

1 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.

2 And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for

3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,

4 I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury

6 Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of

7 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.

8 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear

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.

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,

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

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.

15 My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and

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.

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

18 Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate

19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the

20 And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a

1 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.

2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy

3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not

4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land:

6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.

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

8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring

9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that

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.

11 And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even

12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew

13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:

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.

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.

16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down

17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.

18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.

19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have

20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and

21 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous

22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel

23 And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge

24 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.

25 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.

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.

29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.

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

31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared

32 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the

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

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.

36 And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all

37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the

38 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.

40 And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way;

41 Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee

42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper

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;

44 And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom

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.

46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy

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.

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.

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

50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto

51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath

52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing

53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah:

54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in

55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that

56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I

58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.

60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of

61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the

62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.

63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold,

64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.

65 For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant

67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he

2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and

4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the

6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from

7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen

8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was

9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of

10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the

12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid,

13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the

17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the

20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of

21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him,

22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to

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

24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob:

27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man,

28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.

30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his

32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?

33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his

1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac

2 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell

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;

4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries;

5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my

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.

8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out

9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my

10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with

11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to

12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.

13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:

14 For he had possession of flocks, and possessions of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines

15 For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines

16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.

17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

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

19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

20 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the

21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also:and he called the name of it Sitnah.

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

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.

25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD and pitched his tent there: and there

26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain

27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from

28 And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath

29 That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but

31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they

32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they

33 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.

34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and

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.

3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me

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

5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and

6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother,

7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my

9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury

10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.

11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:

12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon

13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.

14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his

15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them

16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:

17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?

19 And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I

20 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the

21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very

22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the

23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.

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

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:

28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:

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.

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.

31 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father

32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.

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.

34 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto

35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.

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

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,

38 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father.

39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth,

40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt

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.

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

43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;

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?

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?

1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of

2 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of

3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of

4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land

5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother

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 daughters

9 Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael

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.

12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold

13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God

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.

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.

16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.

17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is

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

19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.

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

21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:

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

1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.

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

3 And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the

4 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.

5 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.

6 And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with

7 And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the

8 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the

9 And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.

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

12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and

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.

14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a

15 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought?

16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with

20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to

21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.

23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in

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?

26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.

27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven

28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.

30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven

31 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.

32 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath

33 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he

34 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me,

35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called

1 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give

2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from

3 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees that I may also

6 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore

8 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called

9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.

13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.

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.

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.

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.

17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.

18 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she

20 And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I

23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:

24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.

25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may

26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my

27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by

29 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.

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?

31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this

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

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

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

36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.

37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in

38 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the

39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.

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.

41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes

42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.

43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels,

1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that

2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.

3 And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with

5 And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my

7 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.

8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The

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.

11 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.

12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked,

13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now

14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our

15 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.

16 For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then,

18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he

19 And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.

20 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.

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

23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in

24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not

25 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren

26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried

27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have

28 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.

29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying,

30 And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet

31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take

32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine

33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found

34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban

35 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of

36 And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my

37 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before

38 This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the

39 That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require

40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine

41 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six

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

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

44 Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and

46 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat

48 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called

49 And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.

50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us;

51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee;

52 This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou

53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware

54 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread,

55 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and

2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I

5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord,

6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet

7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks,

8 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.

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:

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.

11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will

12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be

13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his

14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,

15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.

16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his

17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying,

18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also

19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner

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.

21 So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.

22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and

24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of

26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God

29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost

30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.

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.

1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he

2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and

3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his

4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.

5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he

6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.

7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel,

8 And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the

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.

11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and

12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.

13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young

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.

15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth

17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the

18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from

19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor,

1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with

3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the

5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and

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

8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray

9 And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.

10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you

11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall

12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the

13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had

14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that

15 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;

16 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with

17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.

19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was

20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their

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

22 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be

23 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them,

24 And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every

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.

26 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's

27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.

28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was

29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that

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

1 And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that

2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are

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

4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in

5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not

6 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with

7 And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he

9 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.

10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall

11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations

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

14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a

17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have

18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his

20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.

22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's

23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:

26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to

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

7 For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers

9 And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:

10 These are the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath

12 And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of

43 Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their

1 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.

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

3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him

4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could

5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and,

8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us?

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.

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

13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee

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.

15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying,

16 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.

17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went

18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay

20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast

21 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.

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.

23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his

24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.

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

26 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?

27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and

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.

29 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.

30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?

31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;

32 And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found:

33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent

34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.

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.

36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.

1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain

2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went

5 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she

7 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.

8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

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.

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

12 And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up

13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.

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

15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.

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?

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

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.

19 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

20 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's

21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And

22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no

23 And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found

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

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.

26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not

27 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.

28 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound

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.

30 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called

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.

2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the

3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his

4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all

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

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.

7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie

8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the

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?

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

11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none

12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled,

13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,

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:

15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me,

17 And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought

18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.

19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After

20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound:

21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of

22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and

23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with

1 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their

4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in

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.

6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.

7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look

8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto

9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;

10 And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the

11 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave

12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:

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.

14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make

15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they

16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream,

17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them

18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:

19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the

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.

21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:

1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.

2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a

3 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood

4 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh

5 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank

6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.

7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a

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

9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:

10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and

11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of

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.

13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.

14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved

15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have

16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:

18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a

19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I

21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill

22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:

23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:

24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that

25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about

26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.

27 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears

28 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.

29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:

30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of

31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very

32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and

33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of

35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh,

36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of

37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

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?

39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and

40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne

41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.

42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of

43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee:

44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all

45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of

46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from

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.

49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without

50 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of

51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil,

52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my

53 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.

54 And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all

55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said

56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the

57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all

1 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon

2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from

4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief

5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

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.

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.

9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the

12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.

13 And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold,

14 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:

15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest

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.

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

20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they

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.

22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye

23 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.

24 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them,

25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and

27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold,

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?

29 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them;

30 The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.

32 We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the

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:

34 And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men:

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.

36 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is

37 And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into

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.

2 And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said

3 And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face,

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,

6 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?

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

8 And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and

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

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

12 And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks,

14 And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and

15 And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and

16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and

17 And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.

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,

19 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the

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.

22 And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in

23 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in

24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and

25 And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread

26 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and

27 And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet

28 And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their

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.

30 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he

31 And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.

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

33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth:

34 And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as

1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can

2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did

3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.

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?

5 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.

7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do

8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of

9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.

10 And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words; he with whom it is found shall be my servant;

11 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's

13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.

14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the

15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can

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

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

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.

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

21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.

22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father

23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my

24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may

27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:

28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:

29 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow

30 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is

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

32 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall

33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go

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

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.

3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer

4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am

5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me

6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall

7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great

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

9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of

10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy

11 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all

12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto

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

14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.

15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.

16 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased

17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto

18 And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of

19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and

21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of

22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of

23 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses

24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the

25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,

26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart

27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons

28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.

1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the

2 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.

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

4 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his

6 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into

7 His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he

22 These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.

25 These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob:

26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all

29 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented

30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.

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;

32 And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and

33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?

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

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.

2 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.

3 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants

4 They said moreover 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

5 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:

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

7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

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

11 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best

12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to

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

14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for

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.

16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.

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

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

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

20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because

21 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other

22 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did

23 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here

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

25 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be

26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part;

27 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and

28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and

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

30 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace.

31 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.

1 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him

2 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself,

3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

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.

5 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I

there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is

9 And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said,

10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and

11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.

12 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left

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.

15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God

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.

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.

18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his

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

1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall

2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.

3 Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and

4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it:

5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.

6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in

7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and

8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy

24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty

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:

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

28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them;

29 And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in

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.

31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I

32 The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.

33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and

2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed

3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the

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,

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.

6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.

7 And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his

8 And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks,

9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.

10 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great

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

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.

14 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after

15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us,

16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,

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

18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.

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

22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.

23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son Manasseh

5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.

7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding

9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:

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.

11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh

12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of

18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have

19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for

20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.

2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him

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.

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.

6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on

7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she

8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.

9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy

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.

12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and

13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to

reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.

24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with

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,

3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and

5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest

6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their

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.

9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the

10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the

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.

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

14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,

your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my

of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which

Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with

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.

19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.

20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof:

21 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go,

and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall

know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will

before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.

22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:

25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said,

26 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.

27 And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the

30 And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of

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.

1 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my

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.

4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works?

5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.

6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for

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.

9 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain

10 And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus

11 Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.

12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.

13 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.

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

15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou

16 There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are

17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.

18 Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.

19 And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not

20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:

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.

22 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people?

23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou

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.

of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and

8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and

9 And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit,

11 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

12 And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me;

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.

14 These be the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu,

15 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a

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.

18 And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath

19 And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the families of Levi according to their generations.

20 And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the

24 And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites.

25 And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these

26 These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land

27 These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these

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.

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.

11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like

12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

13 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.

14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.

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.

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.

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.

18 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of

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

bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens,

4 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.

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.

6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of

7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.

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.

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?

10 And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is

11 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people;

12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs

13 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the

15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the

16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it

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.

18 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice

19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and

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.

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

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.

23 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.

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.

25 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.

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

27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall

28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only

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

31 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh,

32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.

1 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the

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.

4 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of

5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.

6 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the

7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of

8 And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let

9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon

10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven;

11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians,

12 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken

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.

14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people;

15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be

16 And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name

17 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?

18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in

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

20 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee

21 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.

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.

23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran

24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the

25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the

26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.

27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD

28 Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you

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

30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.

31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.

33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the

34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and

35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had

1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his

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.

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.

4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:

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

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

7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they

8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your

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.

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;

11 Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out

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.

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.

14 And the locusts 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.

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

16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your

17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your God, that he may

19 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the

20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.

21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over

22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt

23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had

24 And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be

25 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the

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.

28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day

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.

2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her

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.

4 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:

5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn 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.

6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be

7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may

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

9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied

10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so

2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them

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.

5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the

6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the

7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the

8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they

9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the

10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye

11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and

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.

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.

14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your

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

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

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.

18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one

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.

20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.

21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according

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

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

24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.

25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he

26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?

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

28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did

29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the

firstborn of Pharoah that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the

30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry

31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people,

32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.

33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for

34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their

35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels

36 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such

37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that

38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.

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

40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass,

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.

43 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger

44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat

46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither

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

49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

51 And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of

2 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man

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

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

6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.

7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither

8 And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me

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.

11 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and

12 That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a

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.

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:

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

16 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand

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

18 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel

19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God

20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.

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

22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the

3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them

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.

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?

7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of

8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel:

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that

16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel

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.

18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his

19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the

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.

21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east

22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall

23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his

24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through

25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee

26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon

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.

28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came

29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto

30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead

31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD,

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.

2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him

4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red

6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the

7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest

8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap,

9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I

10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises,

13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy

14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.

15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them;

16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy

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.

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

20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out

21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his

22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went

23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore

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,

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.

27 And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they

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

2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:

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

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.

5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be

6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath

7 And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against

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

9 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the

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.

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.

13 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew

14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round

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.

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

18 And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered

20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred

21 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it

22 And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and

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

24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm

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

26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

27 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they

28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

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.

31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste

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

33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the

34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

35 And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat

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

2 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said

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?

4 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone

5 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy

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.

7 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel,

9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on

10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to

11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand,

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

14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua:

16 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to

1 When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for

2 Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,

3 And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange

4 And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me

5 And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he

6 And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with

7 And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other

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.

9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of

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.

11 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was

12 And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the

13 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses

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?

15 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to inquire of God:

16 When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them

17 And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.

18 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for

19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people

20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and

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,

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

23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people

24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.

25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands,

26 And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small

27 And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.

1 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came

2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the

3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou

4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto

5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure

6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt

7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which

8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses

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.

10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let

11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the

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:

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.

14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their

15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.

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

17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of

18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke

19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God

20 And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to

21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to

22 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth

23 And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us,

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.

2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or

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;

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that

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

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.

18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain

19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we

20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before

21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have

23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

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

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

26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.

2 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

3 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.

4 If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children

5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:

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.

7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.

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.

9 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.

10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

11 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

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

14 But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from

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.

18 And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth

19 If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for

20 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely

21 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.

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

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

27 And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his

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

31 Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto

32 If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver,

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;

34 The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall

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;

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

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

2 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.

3 If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he

4 If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.

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.

6 If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be

thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom

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,

11 Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's

12 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.

13 If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.

14 And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he

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.

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.

17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

24 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your

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

5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou

7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the

8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the

10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:

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.

12 Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may

ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the

Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.

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

2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up

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.

4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under

5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace

6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the

8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant,

9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:

10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone,

11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and

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.

13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.

3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all

5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.

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;

between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify

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.

15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth

18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables

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.

2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons,

3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.

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.

5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a

7 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land

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

9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I

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?

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

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

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.

16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.

17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of

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

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.

20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it

21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon

22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on

23 For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought

24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it

25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame

26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me.

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

29 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon

30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I

31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made

32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast

33 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

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.

35 And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

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

2 And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and

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

4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.

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

6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.

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

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.

9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door

10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and

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.

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

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.

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

17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace

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

20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:

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

23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon

2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me

3 And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the

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.

5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.

6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious,

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

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.

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

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.

12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it

13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:

14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods , and do

16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and

18 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I

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

30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they

31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and

32 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD

20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

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,

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

23 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and

24 Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD's offering: and every man, with

28 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.

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

30 And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri,

31 And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all

33 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.

34 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of

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

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

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:

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.

4 And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which

5 And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work,

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

7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.

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.

9 The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the

6 And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a

7 And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy

8 One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat

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.

10 And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof,

11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.

12 Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border

13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet

14 Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.

15 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.

16 And he made the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his

17 And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his

18 And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side

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

21 And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop

22 Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.

23 And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.

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.

26 And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it:

27 And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides

29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the

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.

22 And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded

23 And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman,

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.

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:

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

27 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an

28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid

29 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.

30 And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar,

31 And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the

1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and

2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

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,

4 They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.

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.

6 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of

8 And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and

9 It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth

10 And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the

13 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

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.

15 And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.

16 And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the

18 And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the

19 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it,

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.

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

23 And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the

24 And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.

25 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe,

26 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the

28 And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,

29 And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD

30 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings

31 And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.

32 Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel

33 And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars,

34 And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,

37 The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels

38 And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,

39 The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,

pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,

41 The cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his

42 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.

43 And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they have done it as the LORD had commanded, even

2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

3 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.

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

5 And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of

8 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.

9 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it,

10 And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall

12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash

13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister

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.

17 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle

18 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the

19 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the

20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above

21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the

24 And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the

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.

30 And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash

32 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as

33 And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court

34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and

36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their

37 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

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

1 And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD,

3 If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his

own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.

4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make

5 And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and

sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.

14 And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of

thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.

15 And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering.

16 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof,

with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

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,

LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

30 His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring,

LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto the LORD in the priest's office;

36 Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them,

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;

2 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin

3 And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

4 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the

5 And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done.

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.

18 And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of

20 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.

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

22 And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the

congregation: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying,

35 Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and

36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

1 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;

2 And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without

13 And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt them

14 And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar.

15 And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and

17 And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt

incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.

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.

4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come

5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.

6 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a

7 Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the

principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.

LORD, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.

10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.

13 And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be

defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;

14 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit

of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:

15 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of

an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of

29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;

30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman

31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.

shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.

10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the

11 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an

atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.

12 And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year

for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.

13 And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto

14 And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt

offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish

15 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread

16 And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:

17 And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened

18 And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the

one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is

voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the

2 Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over

3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded

4 And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was

beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.

7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them

shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.

8 Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another

12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin

offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.

13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the

14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.

15 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt

16 For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every

womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.

17 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every

18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.

19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the

service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the

children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh

20 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto

all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.

21 And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering

22 And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron,

4 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.

5 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai:

6 And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the

7 And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that

we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?

8 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.

10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason

of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.

11 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and

12 They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of

13 But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul

shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed

ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance,

15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the

testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.

16 So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.

17 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and

in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.

18 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the

LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.

19 And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge

20 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the

LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.

21 And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the

morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

22 Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining

thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they

23 At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they

journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

6 When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey:

7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.

8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance

9 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with

the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your

blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they

11 And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken

12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the

13 And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

14 In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over

15 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.

16 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.

17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing

18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host was

19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.

21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the tabernacle against they

22 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over

23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.

24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.

25 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, which was the rereward of all the camps

26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.

27 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.

28 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.

29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying

unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for

30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.

31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the

32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the

33 And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the

LORD went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.

34 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.

35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be

36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.

1 And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was

kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of

2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.

3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.

4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and

5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and

6 But our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.

7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.

8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in

10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the

11 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not

found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?

12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy

bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?

13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that

15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let

16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest

to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation,

17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will

put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.

18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have

wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt:

19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;

20 But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye

have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of

25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and

gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied,

26 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other

Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the

27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.

28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord

29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD's people were

31 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the

camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the

32 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails:

he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the

33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled

34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.

35 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.

1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he

2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the

3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)

4 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the

5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called

6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known

8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the

LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and

11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done

12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.

14 And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven

days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.

15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was

16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.

2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every

4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.

11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.

16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of

17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward,

18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or

19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell

20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good

courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.

21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.

22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children

23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes,

and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut

26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto

the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and

29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell

in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.

30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well

31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger

32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying,

The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the

33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as

1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said

unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!

3 And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our

5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of

6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land,

7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through

8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with

people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest

before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

15 Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will

18 The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means

clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou

wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be

here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.

41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not

42 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.

43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are

offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.

15 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with

you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.

16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering in your generations.

the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with

his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.

25 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be

forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD,

26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth

garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:

3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too

much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them:

5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are

his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause

7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man

whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.

9 Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of

Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the

13 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in

14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of

fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.

15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one

16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to

17 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his

censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.

18 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door

19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.

22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and

24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.

26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and

27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram

came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.

38 The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the

39 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were

40 To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come

near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to

looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the

46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and

go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the

47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague

was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.

49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about

fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name

3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of

5 And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease

from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.

6 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each

prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of

Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded

9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked,

10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token

against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.

12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.

13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with

1 And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity

of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

2 And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be

joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle

3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the

4 And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the

5 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more

6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are

given as a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

7 Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for every thing of the altar, and within

the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that

the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to

offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall

10 In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.

11 And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I

have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one

12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall

13 And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one

15 Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or

beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean

16 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for

the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.

17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they

are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire,

18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.

19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given

thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the

20 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any

part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.

21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service

22 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear

it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no

to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no

26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I

have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD,

27 And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor,

28 Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the

children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.

29 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the

30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted

unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.

31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the

32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute

2 This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of

Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:

3 And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall

place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a

shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.

12 He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify

tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not

18 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the

vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or

seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at

congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been

clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.

1 Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and

2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and

3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died

4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle

5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place

of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.

6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the

congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.

8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the

rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the

10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear

11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out

12 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of

the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

13 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified

14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou

15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed

16 And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out

17 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards,

neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's highway, we will not turn to the right

18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.

19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy

water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.

20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a

21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.

22 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount

23 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,

24 Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the

children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.

26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his

5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die

in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.

6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel

7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and

against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass,

9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten

11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab,

13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh

out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.

14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of

15 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.

16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the

the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.

23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together,

and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even

25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the

26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of

27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:

28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and

29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his

30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto

33 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he,

34 And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people,

and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed

3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the

4 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the

ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.

5 He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the

children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover

prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou

7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and

8 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak

10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,

11 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me

12 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are

14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.

16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee,

17 For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come

18 And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver

19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me

20 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with

21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.

22 And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an

adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.

23 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass

turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.

24 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that

25 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot

26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to

30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto

31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and

his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.

32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times?

33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now

34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way

35 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto

36 And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in

38 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the

40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.

41 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of

1 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.

2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.

3 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come

to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.

4 And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every

6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.

7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the

8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?

9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone,

10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the

11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and,

12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?

13 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see

them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.

14 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a

15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder.

16 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.

17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And

18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:

19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall

20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is

22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.

23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to

24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down

25 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.

26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I

30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.

1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for

2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit

3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open

4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but

6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the

8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the

nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth

10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto

Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.

11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath

12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,

13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the

LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?

14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do

15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open

16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the

17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a

Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.

18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do

19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.

20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but

21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou

22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.

23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!

24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also

25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.

1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.

2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to

3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.

4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD

against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.

5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.

6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the

sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the

Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my

7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among

their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.

8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause

13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was

14 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify

me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.

16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,

17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and

which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.

18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay

40 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.

1 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing

2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his

3 If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her

4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his

peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.

5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she

hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound

7 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand,

8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed,

and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall

10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;

11 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand,

12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out

of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made

13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may

14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or

all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he

16 These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the

2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.

3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against

4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.

5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for

6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,

7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.

8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and

Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.

9 And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of

10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.

12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto

the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near

14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over

16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the

LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.

17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying

18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

19 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath

touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.

20 And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made

21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law

23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless

it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the

26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the

27 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and

28 And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred,

29 Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.

30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the

asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the

32 And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and

35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of woman that had not known man by lying with him.

36 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand

37 And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.

38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and twelve.

39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and one.

40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was thirty and two persons.

41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD

42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,

43 (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and

47 Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave

them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded

48 And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of

49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our

50 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold,

chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.

51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.

52 And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the

54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought

it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.

1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they

saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;

2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and

3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

4 Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy

5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a

7 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the

9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the

children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.

11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land

which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed

13 And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years,

until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce

15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all

16 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our

17 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their

place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

19 For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us

20 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,

21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from

22 And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the

LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.

23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of

25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my

26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:

27 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.

28 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief

29 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over

Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall

30 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of

31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy

32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance

33 And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the

tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king

of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.

38 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the

39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite

41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havothjair.

42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

1 These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies

2 And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and

3 And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow

after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.

4 For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also

6 And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.

7 And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which is before Baalzephon: and they

8 And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness,

9 And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and

12 And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.

14 And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.

36 And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.

37 And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.

38 And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the

fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.

39 And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.

40 And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the

44 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab.

47 And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

48 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near

49 And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.

50 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of

52 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and

53 And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to

54 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give

the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in

the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.

55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that

those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in

56 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land

that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)

3 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south

4 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going

forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to

5 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be

6 And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.

7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:

8 From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the

9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your

11 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall

12 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your

13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which

14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children

of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh

15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward,

17 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the

18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.

19 And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.

25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.

26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.

27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.

28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.

29 These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

2 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities

to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.

3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their

4 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and

5 And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two

thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits and the

6 And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall

appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.

7 So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with

8 And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have

many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities

10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of

11 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which

12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand

14 Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which

15 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner

16 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely

17 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the

18 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the

19 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.

20 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;

21 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is

22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,

23 Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was

24 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these

25 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the

congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the

26 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;

27 And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood

28 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the

death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.

29 So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your

30 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness

31 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be

32 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to

33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be

cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.

34 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the

1 And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of

the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief

2 And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of

Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his

3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their

inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe

whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.

4 And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance

of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the

5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the

6 This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let

them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.

7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children

8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto

one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of

9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the

12 And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance

13 These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses

1 These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain

over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

2 (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)

3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses

spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto

4 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan,

5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,

6 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:

7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh

thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the

8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers,

9 And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:

10 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

11 (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he

12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?

13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over

14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.

15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over

thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among

16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge

righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.

17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be

afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me,

19 And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw

by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to

20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give

21 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy

22 And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search

us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.

23 And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:

24 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.

25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word

26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:

27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the

28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller

than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims

30 The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in

31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his

33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew

34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,

35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give

36 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon,

37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.

38 But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall

39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no

knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess

40 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight,

according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons

42 And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be

43 So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and

44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and

45 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear

46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.

1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake

4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of

Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:

5 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I

6 Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that

7 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this

great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.

8 And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the

plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

9 And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not

give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.

10 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;

11 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.

12 The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had

destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which

13 Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.

14 And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was

thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the

15 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were

16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

19 And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with

them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it

20 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them

21 A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they

22 As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them;

23 And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of

24 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon

the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.

25 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole

heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of

27 Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to

28 Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I

29 (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I

30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and

made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.

31 And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to

33 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.

34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones,

35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.

36 From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto

Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us:

37 Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor

unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us.

1 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all

2 And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy

hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

3 So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we

4 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities,

5 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.

6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women,

7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.

8 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side

10 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of

11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of

iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the

12 And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount

13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh;

14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and

16 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the

valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;

17 The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the

18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye

shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war.

19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in

20 Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also possess the

land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his

21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath

done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.

24 O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is

there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?

25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and

26 But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me,

27 Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and

eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

28 But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he

them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.

2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may

3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor,

4 But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.

5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye

6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations,

which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

7 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things

8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set

9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have

seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;

10 Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me,

Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the

days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.

11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of

12 And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no

13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments;

14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in

16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of

17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,

18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath

19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars,

even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God

20 But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto

21 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and

that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:

22 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.

23 Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you,

and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.

25 When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and

shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight

26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land

whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be

27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen,

28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor

32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon

the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this

33 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?

34 Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by

signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors,

35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.

36 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee

37 And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his

38 To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their

39 Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and

40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may

go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth,

43 Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the

45 These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of

46 On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who

dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt:

47 And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were

48 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,

49 And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.

1 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in

3 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this

4 The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,

5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the work of the LORD: for ye were afraid by

6 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is

9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto 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,

10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

11 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that

12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.

14 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, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy

cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as

15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out

thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to

16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be

prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or

his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.

22 These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the

cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables

23 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn

with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

24 And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard

his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.

25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD

26 For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the

27 Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our

28 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I

have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all

29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always,

31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes,

and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to

32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to

33 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that

it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.

1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded

2 That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I

command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be

3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase

mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine

house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

10 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy

fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,

11 And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not,

vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;

12 Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house

13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.

14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;

15 (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled

17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes,

18 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and

that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,

20 And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and

21 Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of

22 And the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his

23 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our

24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always,

25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God,

1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out

many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the

Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;

2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy

3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his

4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the

5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down

6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special

7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any

8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your

fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen,

9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy

10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him,

11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee

12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD

thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:

13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the

fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in

14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among

15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt,

16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no

pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.

17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?

18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and

19 The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the

stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the

20 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide

21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.

22 And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume

23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction,

24 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven:

there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.

25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on

them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.

26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt

1 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and

multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.

2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness,

to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his

3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not,

neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by

4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.

5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth

6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths

8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;

9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose

10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he

11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments,

12 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;

13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou

14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land

15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and

drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and

17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may

19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and

20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be

1 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than

2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard

3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming

fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and

4 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For

my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations

5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for

the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may

perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

6 Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy

7 Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the

day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious

8 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed

9 When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the

LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink

10 And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was

written according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire

11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of

12 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast

brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I

13 Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked

14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee

15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the

16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye

17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.

18 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor

drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke

19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy

20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same

21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very

small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the

22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.

23 Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have

given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor

25 Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the

26 I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance,

which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty

27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to

28 Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the

land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the

29 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy

1 At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me

2 And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put

3 And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the

4 And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake

unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto

5 And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and

6 And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron

died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.

7 From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.

8 At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand

9 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as

10 And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD

11 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess

12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in

all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?

14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein

15 Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you

17 For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which

18 He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and

20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his

21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes

22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath

1 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and

2 And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen

the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,

3 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto

4 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of

the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this

6 And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her

mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their

8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and

9 And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them

10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out,

where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:

11 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of

12 A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the

13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you

this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou

15 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.

16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and

17 And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and

that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth

18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon

19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou

20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:

21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto

22 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the

23 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and

24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon,

from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.

25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the

dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.

27 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:

28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way

29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest

to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.

30 Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites,

31 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye

32 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.

1 These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy

2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon

3 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew

down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.

5 But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even

6 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of

your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:

7 And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye

8 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.

9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you.

10 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and

when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;

11 Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there;

thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the

heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:

12 And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your

menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part

13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:

14 But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt

15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according

to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as

17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of

thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering

18 But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose,

thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within

thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.

19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.

20 When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat

flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.

21 If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou

shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou

22 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of

23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the

25 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do

26 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the

27 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and

the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the

28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy

children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.

29 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them,

30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before

thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I

31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have

they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,

2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods,

3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God

proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice,

5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away

from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of

bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou

6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend,

which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not

7 Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the

8 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou

9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the

10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the

LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.

12 If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,

13 Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of

14 Then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing

15 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all

16 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city,

and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be

17 And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the

fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath

18 When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I

command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.

1 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between

2 for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people

5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the

6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the

7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the

camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean

8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat

9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:

10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.

12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and ossifrage, and the ospray,

15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

19 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.

21 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that

he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou

22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.

23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there,

the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou

24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee,

which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:

25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which

26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine,

or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God,

27 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with

28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it

29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless,

and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God

2 And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release

it;he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD's release.

3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;

4 Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the

5 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these

6 For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou

shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations,but they shall not reign over thee.

7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the

LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:

8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that

9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at

hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD

10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that

for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine

12 And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman , be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years;

13 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:

14 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that

15 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God

16 And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house,

17 Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever.

18 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a

double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou

19 All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God:

thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.

20 Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou

21 And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not

22 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as

23 Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.

1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the

2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place

3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the

bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day

4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there anything

of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.

5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:

6 But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the

passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.

7 And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the

8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD

9 Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou

10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of

thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed

11 And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy

manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless,

and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name

12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.

13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy

14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy

maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.

15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall

choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands,

16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall

choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they

17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given

18 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee,

19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the

20 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD

21 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt

1 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any

2 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman,

that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,

3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of

4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and inquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing

5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy

gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.

6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the

7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the

8 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and

between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee

9 And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and inquire;

10 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall

11 According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which

they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the

12 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister

there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil

14 When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt

dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;

15 Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among

thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.

16 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he

should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that

17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to

18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law

19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the

20 That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the

right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the

1 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat

2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath

3 And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or

sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.

4 The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt

5 For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD,

6 And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the

7 Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand

8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.

9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the

10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire,

11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the

14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as

15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me;

16 According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let

me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.

17 And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.

18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his

19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my

20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to

speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.

21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?

22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the

thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be

1 When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou

2 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to

3 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to

4 And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour

5 As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with

the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he

6 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is

long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.

8 And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land

9 If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD

thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:

10 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and

11 But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally

12 Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of

13 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go

14 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance,

which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.

15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at

the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.

16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;

17 Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and

18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath

19 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away

20 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among

21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for

1 When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than

thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of

2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the

3 And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your

hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;

4 For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

5 And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there that hath built a new house, and

hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.

6 And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return

7 And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his

8 And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and

fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart.

9 And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall make

10 When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.

11 And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that

12 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:

13 And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with

14 But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt

thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given

15 Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these

16 But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt

17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the

Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:

18 That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should

19 When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the

trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down

20 Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down;

and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.

1 If one be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it

2 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round

3 And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an

4 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown,

5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto

him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be

6 And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is

7 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.

8 Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto

9 So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right

10 When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine

11 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her

12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;

13 And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her

father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall

14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not

sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.

15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the

16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of

the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:

17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that

he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his

19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and

20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our

21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from

22 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a

23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that

is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an

1 Thou shalt not see the brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case

2 And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own

house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.

3 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of

21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone

her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house:

commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy

thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.

4 And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of

7 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage:

for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them;

9 And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the

10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of

11 When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt

12 Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that

they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this

13 And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God,

14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present

yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went,

15 And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the

from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in

19 Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this

20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk

and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other

21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify

against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their

imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.

22 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.

23 And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt

bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.

24 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they

30 And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.

1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb,

3 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just

5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked

14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the

15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with

fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.

17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up,

18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

19 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward

21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their

vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger

27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely,

and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.

28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.

29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them,

32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their

49 Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over

against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:

50 And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in

51 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the

wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.

52 Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children

1 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.

2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount

Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.

3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall

5 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.

7 And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his

people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.

8 And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at

9 Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren,

nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.

10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole

12 And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall

13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew,

14 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,

15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,

16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the

bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated

17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall

push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the

19 They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they

20 And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the

21 And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and

he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.

23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD:

24 And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let

25 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.

26 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency

28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his

29 Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and

who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread

2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,

3 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.

saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over

5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
