and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for
there was not a house where there was not one dead.
02:012:031 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up,
and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the
children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
02:012:032 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be
gone; and bless me also.
02:012:033 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might
send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all
dead men.
02:012:034 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their
kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their
shoulders.
02:012:035 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses;
and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and
jewels of gold, and raiment:
02:012:036 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the
Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they
required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
02:012:037 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth,
about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside
children.
02:012:038 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and
herds, even very much cattle.
02:012:039 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they
brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because
they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither
had they prepared for themselves any victual.
02:012:040 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in
Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
02:012:041 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty
years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the
hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
02:012:042 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.
02:012:043 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance
of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
02:012:044 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou
hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
02:012:045 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
02:012:046 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth
ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye
break a bone thereof.
02:012:047 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
02:012:048 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the
passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and
then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one
that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall
eat thereof.
02:012:049 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the
stranger that sojourneth among you.
02:012:050 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded
Moses and Aaron, so did they.
02:012:051 And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring
the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their
armies.
02:013:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
02:013:002 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the
womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast:
it is mine.
02:013:003 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye
came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by
strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place:
there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
02:013:004 This day came ye out in the month Abib.
02:013:005 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land
of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the
Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to
give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt
keep this service in this month.
02:013:006 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh
day shall be a feast to the LORD.
02:013:007 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no
leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be
leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
02:013:008 And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done
because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth
out of Egypt.
02:013:009 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.
02:013:010 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from
year to year.
02:013:011 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land
of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers,
and shall give it thee,
02:013:012 That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the
matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou
hast; the males shall be the LORD's.
02:013:013 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.
02:013:014 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:
02:013:015 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that
the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the
firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I
sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being
males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
02:013:016 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets
between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought
us forth out of Egypt.
02:013:017 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that
God led them not through the way of the land of the
Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest
peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they
return to Egypt:
02:013:018 But God led the people about, through the way of the
wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up
harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
02:013:019 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had
straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely
visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
02:013:020 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in
Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
02:013:021 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud,
to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to
give them light; to go by day and night:
02:013:022 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the
pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
02:014:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
02:014:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp
before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against
Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
02:014:003 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are
entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
02:014:004 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.
02:014:005 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?
02:014:006 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
02:014:007 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots
of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
02:014:008 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and
he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of
Israel went out with an high hand.
02:014:009 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.
02:014:010 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.
02:014:011 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?
02:014:012 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.
02:014:013 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.
02:014:014 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
02:014:015 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me?
speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
02:014:016 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the
sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry
ground through the midst of the sea.
02:014:017 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.
02:014:018 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have
gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his
horsemen.
02:014:019 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel,
removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went
from before their face, and stood behind them:
02:014:020 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.
02:014:021 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD
caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that
night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
02:014:022 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon
the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their
right hand, and on their left.
02:014:023 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst
of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his
horsemen.
02:014:024 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked
unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and
of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
02:014:025 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them
heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face
of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the
Egyptians.
02:014:026 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the
sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon
their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
02:014:027 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.
02:014:028 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the
horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea
after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
02:014:029 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst
of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their
right hand, and on their left.
02:014:030 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the
Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea
shore.
02:014:031 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the
Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the
LORD, and his servant Moses.
02:015:001 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.
02:015:002 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my
salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation;
my father's God, and I will exalt him.
02:015:003 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
02:015:004 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his
chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
02:015:005 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a
stone.
02:015:006 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right
hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
02:015:007 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown
them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath,
which consumed them as stubble.
02:015:008 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered
together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths
were congealed in the heart of the sea.
02:015:009 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide
the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw
my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
02:015:010 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank
as lead in the mighty waters.
02:015:011 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like
thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
02:015:012 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
02:015:013 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast
redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy
habitation.
02:015:014 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold
on the inhabitants of Palestina.
02:015:015 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of
Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants
of Canaan shall melt away.
02:015:016 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine
arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass
over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast
purchased.
02:015:017 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.
02:015:018 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
02:015:019 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with
his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the
waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went
on dry land in the midst of the sea.
02:015:020 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel
in her hand; and all the women went out after her with
timbrels and with dances.
02:015:021 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath
triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown
into the sea.
02:015:022 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out
into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the
wilderness, and found no water.
02:015:023 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the
waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of
it was called Marah.
02:015:024 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we
drink?
02:015:025 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,
02:015:026 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.
02:015:027 And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and
threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the
waters.
02:016:001 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the
congregation of the children of Israel came unto the
wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the
fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of
the land of Egypt.
02:016:002 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured
against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
02:016:003 And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had
died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat
by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for
ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this
whole assembly with hunger.
02:016:004 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.
02:016:005 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall
prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as
much as they gather daily.
02:016:006 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At
even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out
from the land of Egypt:
02:016:007 And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD;
for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what
are we, that ye murmur against us?
02:016:008 And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in
the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the
full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye
murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not
against us, but against the LORD.
02:016:009 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of
the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath
heard your murmurings.
02:016:010 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.
02:016:011 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
02:016:012 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.
02:016:013 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and
covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about
the host.
02:016:014 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face
of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as
the hoar frost on the ground.
02:016:015 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.
02:016:016 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it
every man according to his eating, an omer for every man,
according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for
them which are in his tents.
02:016:017 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more,
some less.
02:016:018 And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much
had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack;
they gathered every man according to his eating.
02:016:019 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
02:016:020 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of
them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and
stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
02:016:021 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his
eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
02:016:022 And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice
as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of
the congregation came and told Moses.
02:016:023 And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said,
To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake
that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will
seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be
kept until the morning.
02:016:024 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it
did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
02:016:025 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto
the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
02:016:026 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is
the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
02:016:027 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on
the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
02:016:028 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my
commandments and my laws?
02:016:029 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.
02:016:030 So the people rested on the seventh day.
02:016:031 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it
was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like
wafers made with honey.
02:016:032 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth,
Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they
may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness,
when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
02:016:033 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of
manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for
your generations.
02:016:034 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the
Testimony, to be kept.
02:016:035 And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until
they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they
came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
02:016:036 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
02:017:001 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed
from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to
the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and
there was no water for the people to drink.
02:017:002 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us
water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide
ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
02:017:003 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?
02:017:004 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto
this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
02:017:005 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and
take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith
thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
02:017:006 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.
02:017:007 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah,
because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because
they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
02:017:008 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
02:017:009 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out,
fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the
hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
02:017:010 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with
Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the
hill.
02:017:011 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel
prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
02:017:012 But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it
under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his
hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other
side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the
sun.
02:017:013 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of
the sword.
02:017:014 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a
book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will
utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
02:017:015 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it
Jehovahnissi:
02:017:016 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will
have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
