Chapter 45
Genesis 45:1
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.
Genesis 45:2
2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Genesis 45:3
3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I [am] Joseph; doth my father yet live?
And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
Genesis 45:4
4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came
near. And he said, I [am] Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
Genesis 45:5
5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither:
for God did send me before you to preserve life.
Genesis 45:6
6 For these two years [hath] the famine [been] in the land: and yet [there are]
five years, in the which [there shall] neither [be] earing nor harvest.
Genesis 45:7
7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to
save your lives by a great deliverance.
Genesis 45:8
8 So now [it was] not you [that] sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me
a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the
land of Egypt.
Genesis 45:9
9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph,
God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
Genesis 45:10
10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me,
thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy
herds, and all that thou hast:
Genesis 45:11
11 And there will I nourish thee; for yet [there are] five years of famine;
lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
Genesis 45:12
12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that [it
is] my mouth that speaketh unto you.
Genesis 45:13
13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye
have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
Genesis 45:14
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept
upon his neck.
Genesis 45:15
15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his
brethren talked with him.
Genesis 45:16
16 ¶ And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's
brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
Genesis 45:17
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your
beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
Genesis 45:18
18 And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give
you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
Genesis 45:19
19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt
for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
Genesis 45:20
20 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt [is] yours.
Genesis 45:21
21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according
to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
Genesis 45:22
22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave
three hundred [pieces] of silver, and five changes of raiment.
Genesis 45:23
23 And to his father he sent after this [manner]; ten asses laden with the good
things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his
father by the way.
Genesis 45:24
24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See
that ye fall not out by the way.
Genesis 45:25
25 ¶ And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto
Jacob their father,
Genesis 45:26
26 And told him, saying, Joseph [is] yet alive, and he [is] governor over all
the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not.
Genesis 45:27
27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and
when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob
their father revived:
Genesis 45:28
28 And Israel said, [It is] enough; Joseph my son [is] yet alive: I will go
and see him before I die.

And he said, Here [am] I.
Genesis 46:3
3 And he said, I [am] God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt;
for I will there make of thee a great nation:
Genesis 46:4
4 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up
[again]: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.

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;
Genesis 46:32
32 And the men [are] shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and
they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
Genesis 46:33
33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What
[is] your occupation?
Genesis 46:34
34 That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth
even until now, both we, [and] also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land
of Goshen; for every shepherd [is] an abomination unto the Egyptians.
Chapter 47
Genesis 47:1
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.
Genesis 47:2
2 And he took some of his brethren, [even] five men, and presented them unto
Pharaoh.
Genesis 47:3
3 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What [is] your occupation? And they said
unto Pharaoh, Thy servants [are] shepherds, both we, [and] also our fathers.
Genesis 47:4
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 dwell in the land
of Goshen.
Genesis 47:5
5 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come
unto thee:
Genesis 47:6
6 The land of Egypt [is] before thee; in the best of the land make thy father
and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest
[any] men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
Genesis 47:7
7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob
blessed Pharaoh.
Genesis 47:8
8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old [art] thou?
Genesis 47:9
9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage [are]
an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life
been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers
in the days of their pilgrimage.
Genesis 47:10
10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
Genesis 47:11
11 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession
in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh
had commanded.
Genesis 47:12
12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household,
with bread, according to [their] families.
Genesis 47:13
13 ¶ And [there was] no bread in all the land; for the famine [was] very
sore, so that the land of Egypt and [all] the land of Canaan fainted by reason
of the famine.
Genesis 47:14
14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt,
and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought
the money into Pharaoh's house.
Genesis 47:15
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.
Genesis 47:16
16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if
money fail.
Genesis 47:17
17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread [in
exchange] for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and
for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
Genesis 47:18
18 When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto
him, We will not hide [it] from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord
also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord,
but our bodies, and our lands:
Genesis 47:19
19 Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and
our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give
[us] seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.
Genesis 47:20
20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold
every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became
Pharaoh's.
Genesis 47:21
21 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from [one] end of the borders
of Egypt even to the [other] end thereof.
Genesis 47:22
22 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion
[assigned them] of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them:
wherefore they sold not their lands.
Genesis 47:23
23 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and
your land for Pharaoh: lo, [here is] seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
Genesis 47:24
24 And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth [part]
unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for
your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
Genesis 47:25
25 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight
of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
Genesis 47:26
26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, [that] Pharaoh
should have the fifth [part]; except the land of the priests only, [which] became
not Pharaoh's.
Genesis 47:27
27 ¶ And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and
they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
Genesis 47:28
28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of
Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
Genesis 47:29
29 And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph,
and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee,
thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray
thee, in Egypt:
Genesis 47:30
30 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and
bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
Genesis 47:31
31 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself
upon the bed's head.
Chapter 48
Genesis 48:1
1 ¶ And it came to pass after these things, that [one] told Joseph, Behold,
thy father [is] sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Genesis 48:2
2 And [one] told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and
Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
Genesis 48:3
3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land
of Canaan, and blessed me,
Genesis 48:4
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.
Genesis 48:5
5 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the
land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, [are] mine; as Reuben and
Simeon, they shall be mine.
Genesis 48:6
6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, [and] shall
be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
Genesis 48:7
7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan
in the way, when yet [there was] but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and
I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same [is] Bethlehem.
Genesis 48:8
8 ¶ And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who [are] these?
Genesis 48:9
9 And Joseph said unto his father, They [are] my sons, whom God hath given me
in this [place]. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless
them.
Genesis 48:10
10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, [so that] he could not see. And
he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
Genesis 48:11
11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo,
God hath shewed me also thy seed.
Genesis 48:12
12 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself
with his face to the earth.
Genesis 48:13
13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left
hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought
[them] near unto him.
Genesis 48:14
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.
Genesis 48:15
15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and
Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
Genesis 48:16
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.
Genesis 48:17
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.
Genesis 48:18
18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this [is] the firstborn;
put thy right hand upon his head.
Genesis 48:19
19 And his father refused, and said, I know [it], my son, I know [it]: he also
shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother
shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
Genesis 48:20
20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying,
God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
Genesis 48:21
21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and
bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
Genesis 48:22
22 Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took
out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.

that I may tell you [that] which shall befall you in the last days.
Genesis 49:2
2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel
your father.
Genesis 49:3
3 Reuben, thou [art] my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength,
the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
Genesis 49:4
4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's
bed; then defiledst thou [it]: he went up to my couch.
Genesis 49:5
5 ¶ Simeon and Levi [are] brethren; instruments of cruelty [are in] their
habitations.
Genesis 49:6
6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour,
be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill
they digged down a wall.
Genesis 49:7
7 Cursed [be] their anger, for [it was] fierce; and their wrath, for it was
cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
Genesis 49:8
8 ¶ Judah, thou [art he] whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand [shall
be] in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before
thee.

9 Judah [is] a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped
down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
Genesis 49:10
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his
feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him [shall] the gathering of the people [be].
Genesis 49:11
11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine;
he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:

12 His eyes [shall be] red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
Genesis 49:13
13 ¶ Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he [shall be] for
an haven of ships; and his border [shall be] unto Zidon.
Genesis 49:14
14 Issachar [is] a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
Genesis 49:15
15 And he saw that rest [was] good, and the land that [it was] pleasant; and
bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
Genesis 49:16
16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
Genesis 49:17
17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the
horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
Genesis 49:18
18 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
Genesis 49:19
19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
Genesis 49:20
20 Out of Asher his bread [shall be] fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
Genesis 49:21
21 Naphtali [is] a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
Genesis 49:22
22 ¶ Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful bough by a well; [whose]
branches run over the wall:
Genesis 49:23
23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot [at him], and hated him:
Genesis 49:24
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong
by the hands of the mighty [God] of Jacob; (from thence [is] the shepherd, the
stone of Israel:)
Genesis 49:25
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:
Genesis 49:26
26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors
unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of
Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
Genesis 49:27
27 Benjamin shall ravin [as] a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey,
and at night he shall divide the spoil.
Genesis 49:28
28 ¶ All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel: and this [is it] that
their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing
he blessed them.
Genesis 49:29
29 And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people:
bury me with my fathers in the cave that [is] in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
Genesis 49:30
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.
Genesis 49:31
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and
Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
Genesis 49:32
32 The purchase of the field and of the cave that [is] therein [was] from the
children of Heth.
Genesis 49:33

feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
Chapter 50
Genesis 50:1
1 ¶ And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed
him.
Genesis 50:2
2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and
the physicians embalmed Israel.
Genesis 50:3
3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those
which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days.
Genesis 50:4
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,
Genesis 50:5
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.
Genesis 50:6
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
Genesis 50:7
7 ¶ And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the
servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land
of Egypt,
Genesis 50:8
8 And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only
their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land
of Goshen.
Genesis 50:9
9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great
company.
Genesis 50:10
10 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which [is] beyond Jordan, and
there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning
for his father seven days.
Genesis 50:11
11 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in
the floor of Atad, they said, This [is] a grievous mourning to the Egyptians:
wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which [is] beyond Jordan.
Genesis 50:12
12 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
Genesis 50:13
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.
Genesis 50:14
14 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up
with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
Genesis 50:15
15 ¶ And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said,
Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil
which we did unto him.
Genesis 50:16
16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before
he died, saying,
Genesis 50:17
17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy
brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee,
forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept
when they spake unto him.
Genesis 50:18
18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said,
Behold, we [be] thy servants.
Genesis 50:19
19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for [am] I in the place of God?
Genesis 50:20
20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; [but] God meant it unto good,
to bring to pass, as [it is] this day, to save much people alive.
Genesis 50:21
21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And
he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
Genesis 50:22
22 ¶ And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph
lived an hundred and ten years.
Genesis 50:23
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third [generation]: the children
also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
Genesis 50:24
24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you,
and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac,
and to Jacob.
Genesis 50:25
25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely
visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
Genesis 50:26
26 So Joseph died, [being] an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him,
and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
Exodus
Chapter 1
Exodus 1:1
1 ¶ Now these [are] the names of the children of Israel, which came into
Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
Exodus 1:2
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
Exodus 1:3
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Exodus 1:4
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
Exodus 1:5
5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls:
for Joseph was in Egypt [already].
Exodus 1:6
6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
Exodus 1:7
7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied,
and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
Exodus 1:8
8 ¶ Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
Exodus 1:9
9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel
[are] more and mightier than we:
Exodus 1:10
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.
Exodus 1:11
11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens.
And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
Exodus 1:12
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And
they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
Exodus 1:13
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
Exodus 1:14
14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick,
and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made
them serve, [was] with rigour.
Exodus 1:15
15 ¶ And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name
of the one [was] Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
Exodus 1:16
16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and
see [them] upon the stools; if it [be] a son, then ye shall kill him: but if
it [be] a daughter, then she shall live.
Exodus 1:17
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them,
but saved the men children alive.
Exodus 1:18
18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have
ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
Exodus 1:19
19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women [are] not as
the Egyptian women; for they [are] lively, and are delivered ere the midwives
come in unto them.
Exodus 1:20
20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and
waxed very mighty.
Exodus 1:21
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
Exodus 1:22
22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall
cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
Chapter 2
Exodus 2:1
1 ¶ And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took [to wife] a daughter
of Levi.
Exodus 2:2
2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he [was
a] goodly [child], she hid him three months.
Exodus 2:3
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.
Exodus 2:4
4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
Exodus 2:5
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.
Exodus 2:6
6 And when she had opened [it], she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept.
And she had compassion on him, and said, This [is one] of the Hebrews' children.
Exodus 2:7
7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a
nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
Exodus 2:8
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's
mother.
Exodus 2:9
9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for
me, and I will give [thee] thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed
it.
Exodus 2:10
10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became
her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out
of the water.
Exodus 2:11
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.
Exodus 2:12
12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that [there was] no
man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
Exodus 2:13
13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove
together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy
fellow?
Exodus 2:14
14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to
kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this
thing is known.
Exodus 2:15
15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled
from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by
a well.
Exodus 2:16
16 ¶ Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew
[water], and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
Exodus 2:17
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped
them, and watered their flock.
Exodus 2:18
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How [is it that] ye are
come so soon to day?
Exodus 2:19
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds,
and also drew [water] enough for us, and watered the flock.
Exodus 2:20
20 And he said unto his daughters, And where [is] he? why [is] it [that] ye
have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
Exodus 2:21
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his
daughter.
Exodus 2:22
22 And she bare [him] a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I
have been a stranger in a strange land.
Exodus 2:23
23 ¶ And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died:
and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried,
and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
Exodus 2:24
24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham,
with Isaac, and with Jacob.
Exodus 2:25
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto [them].
Chapter 3
Exodus 3:1
1 ¶ Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of
Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the
mountain of God, [even] to Horeb.
Exodus 3:2
2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the
midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and
the bush [was] not consumed.
Exodus 3:3
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush
is not burnt.
Exodus 3:4
4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out
of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here [am] I.
Exodus 3:5
5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for
the place whereon thou standest [is] holy ground.
Exodus 3:6
6 Moreover he said, I [am] the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God
of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to
look upon God.
Exodus 3:7
7 ¶ And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which
[are] in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for
I know their sorrows;
Exodus 3:8
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.
Exodus 3:9
9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me:
and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
Exodus 3:10
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring
forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Exodus 3:11
11 ¶ And Moses said unto God, Who [am] I, that I should go unto Pharaoh,
and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
Exodus 3:12
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.
Exodus 3:13
13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, [when] I come unto the children of Israel,
and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and
they shall say to me, What [is] his name? what shall I say unto them?
Exodus 3:14
14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say
unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Exodus 3:15
15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of
Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this [is] my name for ever, and
this [is] my memorial unto all generations.
Exodus 3:16
16 ¶ Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The
LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared
unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and [seen] that which is done to
you in Egypt:
Exodus 3:17
17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto
the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites,
and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.
Exodus 3:18
18 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders
of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of
the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days'
journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
Exodus 3:19
19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty
hand.
Exodus 3:20
20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which
I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.
Exodus 3:21
21 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it
shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:
Exodus 3:22
22 But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth
in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall
put [them] upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.
Chapter 4
Exodus 4:1
1 ¶ And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me,
nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto
thee.
Exodus 4:2
2 And the LORD said unto him, What [is] that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
Exodus 4:3
3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became
a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
Exodus 4:4
4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail.
And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:
Exodus 4:5
5 That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
Exodus 4:6
6 And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom.
And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand
[was] leprous as snow.
Exodus 4:7
7 And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into
his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned
again as his [other] flesh.
Exodus 4:8
8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken
to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter
sign.
Exodus 4:9
9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs,
neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river,
and pour [it] upon the dry [land]: and the water which thou takest out of the
river shall become blood upon the dry [land].
Exodus 4:10
10 ¶ And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I [am] not eloquent, neither
heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I [am] slow of
speech, and of a slow tongue.
Exodus 4:11
11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the
dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
Exodus 4:12
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou
shalt say.
Exodus 4:13
13 And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand [of him whom] thou
wilt send.
Exodus 4:14
14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, [Is] not
Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold,
he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his
heart.
Exodus 4:15
15 And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be
with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
Exodus 4:16
16 And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, [even] he
shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.
Exodus 4:17
17 And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.
Exodus 4:18
18 ¶ And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said
unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which [are] in
Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
Exodus 4:19
19 And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the
men are dead which sought thy life.
Exodus 4:20
20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned
to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
Exodus 4:21
21 And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that
thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but
I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
Exodus 4:22
22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel [is] my son,
[even] my firstborn:
Exodus 4:23
23 And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse
to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, [even] thy firstborn.
Exodus 4:24
24 ¶ And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him,
and sought to kill him.
Exodus 4:25
25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and
cast [it] at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband [art] thou to me.
Exodus 4:26
26 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband [thou art], because of
the circumcision.
Exodus 4:27
27 And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he
went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.
Exodus 4:28
28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all
the signs which he had commanded him.
Exodus 4:29
29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children
of Israel:
Exodus 4:30
30 And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did
the signs in the sight of the people.
Exodus 4:31
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.
Chapter 5
Exodus 5:1
1 ¶ And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith
the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me
in the wilderness.
Exodus 5:2
2 And Pharaoh said, Who [is] the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel
go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
Exodus 5:3
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.
Exodus 5:4
4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let
the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
Exodus 5:5
5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now [are] many, and ye make
them rest from their burdens.
Exodus 5:6
6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their
officers, saying,
Exodus 5:7
7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them
go and gather straw for themselves.
Exodus 5:8
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.
Exodus 5:9
9 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and
let them not regard vain words.
Exodus 5:10
10 ¶ And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and
they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
Exodus 5:11
11 Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall
be diminished.
Exodus 5:12
12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather
stubble instead of straw.
Exodus 5:13
13 And the taskmasters hasted [them], saying, Fulfil your works, [your] daily
tasks, as when there was straw.
Exodus 5:14
14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had
set over them, were beaten, [and] demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled
your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?
Exodus 5:15
15 ¶ Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh,
saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
Exodus 5:16
16 There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick:
and, behold, thy servants [are] beaten; but the fault [is] in thine own people.
Exodus 5:17
17 But he said, Ye [are] idle, [ye are] idle: therefore ye say, Let us go [and]
do sacrifice to the LORD.
Exodus 5:18
18 Go therefore now, [and] work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet
shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
Exodus 5:19
19 And the officers of the children of Israel did see [that] they [were] in
evil [case], after it was said, Ye shall not minish [ought] from your bricks
of your daily task.
Exodus 5:20
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from
Pharaoh:
Exodus 5:21
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.
Exodus 5:22
22 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou [so]
evil entreated this people? why [is] it [that] thou hast sent me?
Exodus 5:23
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this
people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
Chapter 6
Exodus 6:1
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.
Exodus 6:2
2 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I [am] the LORD:
Exodus 6:3
3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by [the name of]
God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
Exodus 6:4
4 And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of
Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
Exodus 6:5
5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians
keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
Exodus 6:6
6 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I [am] the LORD, and I will bring
you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their
bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
Exodus 6:7
7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye
shall know that I [am] the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under
the burdens of the Egyptians.
Exodus 6:8
8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to
give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage:
I [am] the LORD.
Exodus 6:9
9 And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto
Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
Exodus 6:10
10 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Exodus 6:11
11 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel
go out of his land.
Exodus 6:12
12 And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have
not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who [am] of uncircumcised
lips?
Exodus 6:13
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.
Exodus 6:14
14 ¶ These [be] the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of Reuben
the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these [be] the
families of Reuben.
Exodus 6:15
15 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar,

hundred thirty and seven years.

17 The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families.

according to their generations.

and seven years.

Exodus 6:22

24 And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these [are] the
families of the Korhites.
Exodus 6:25
25 And Eleazar Aaron's son took him [one] of the daughters of Putiel to wife;
and she bare him Phinehas: these [are] the heads of the fathers of the Levites
according to their families.
Exodus 6:26
26 These [are] that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children
of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.
Exodus 6:27
27 These [are] they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children
of Israel from Egypt: these [are] that Moses and Aaron.
Exodus 6:28
28 And it came to pass on the day [when] the LORD spake unto Moses in the land
of Egypt,
Exodus 6:29

Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
Exodus 6:30

how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
Chapter 7

1 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh:
and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
Exodus 7:2
2 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak
unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
Exodus 7:3
3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in
the land of Egypt.
Exodus 7:4
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.
Exodus 7:5
5 And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I stretch forth mine
hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
Exodus 7:6
6 And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
Exodus 7:7
7 And Moses [was] fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old,
when they spake unto Pharaoh.
Exodus 7:8
8 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Exodus 7:9
9 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou
shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast [it] before Pharaoh, [and] it shall
become a serpent.
Exodus 7:10
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.
Exodus 7:11
11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians
of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
Exodus 7:12
12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's
rod swallowed up their rods.
Exodus 7:13
13 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the
LORD had said.
Exodus 7:14
14 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart [is] hardened, he refuseth
to let the people go.
Exodus 7:15
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.
Exodus 7:16
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.
Exodus 7:17
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.
Exodus 7:18
18 And the fish that [is] in the river shall die, and the river shall stink;
and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
Exodus 7:19
19 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch
out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers,
and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become
blood; and [that] there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both
in [vessels of] wood, and in [vessels of] stone.
Exodus 7:20
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod,
and smote the waters that [were] in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and
in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that [were] in the river were
turned to blood.
Exodus 7:21
21 And the fish that [was] in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians
could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all
the land of Egypt.
Exodus 7:22
22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's
heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.
Exodus 7:23
23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart
to this also.
Exodus 7:24
24 And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for
they could not drink of the water of the river.
Exodus 7:25
25 And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.
Chapter 8
Exodus 8:1
1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus
saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus 8:2
2 And if thou refuse to let [them] go, behold, I will smite all thy borders
with frogs:
Exodus 8:3
3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come
into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house
of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
Exodus 8:4
4 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all
thy servants.
Exodus 8:5
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.
Exodus 8:6
6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came
up, and covered the land of Egypt.
Exodus 8:7
7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon
the land of Egypt.
Exodus 8:8
8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD, that
he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people
go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.
Exodus 8:9
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?
Exodus 8:10
10 And he said, To morrow. And he said, [Be it] according to thy word: that
thou mayest know that [there is] none like unto the LORD our God.
Exodus 8:11
11 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants,
and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.
Exodus 8:12
12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD
because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
Exodus 8:13
13 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of
the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
Exodus 8:14
14 And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
Exodus 8:15
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened
not unto them; as the LORD had said.
Exodus 8:16
16 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod,
and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land
of Egypt.
Exodus 8:17
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.
Exodus 8:18
18 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but
they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
Exodus 8:19
19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This [is] the finger of God: and Pharaoh's
heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
Exodus 8:20
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.
Exodus 8:21
21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms [of flies]
upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses:
and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms [of flies], and also
the ground whereon they [are].
Exodus 8:22
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.
Exodus 8:23
23 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall
this sign be.
Exodus 8:24
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].
Exodus 8:25
25 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to
your God in the land.
Exodus 8:26
26 And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination
of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination
of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
Exodus 8:27
27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the
LORD our God, as he shall command us.
Exodus 8:28
28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your
God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me.
Exodus 8:29
29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the LORD that
the swarms [of flies] may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his
people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting
the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.
Exodus 8:30
30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
Exodus 8:31
31 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms
[of flies] from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained
not one.
Exodus 8:32
32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the
people go.
Chapter 9
Exodus 9:1
1 ¶ Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus
saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus 9:2
2 For if thou refuse to let [them] go, and wilt hold them still,
Exodus 9:3
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.
Exodus 9:4
4 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt:
and there shall nothing die of all [that is] the children's of Israel.
Exodus 9:5
5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this
thing in the land.
Exodus 9:6
6 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died:
but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
Exodus 9:7
7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites
dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
Exodus 9:8
8 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of
ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight
of Pharaoh.
Exodus 9:9
9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil
breaking forth [with] blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land
of Egypt.
Exodus 9:10
10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled
it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth [with] blains upon
man, and upon beast.
Exodus 9:11
11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for
the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
Exodus 9:12
12 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them;
as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
Exodus 9:13
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.
Exodus 9:14
14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy
servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that [there is] none like
me in all the earth.
Exodus 9:15
15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people
with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
Exodus 9:16
16 And in very deed for this [cause] have I raised thee up, for to shew [in]
thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
Exodus 9:17
17 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them
go?
Exodus 9:18
18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous
hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until
now.
Exodus 9:19
19 Send therefore now, [and] gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the
field; [for upon] every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and
shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall
die.
Exodus 9:20
20 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his
servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
Exodus 9:21
21 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle
in the field.
Exodus 9:22
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.
Exodus 9:23
23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder
and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon
the land of Egypt.
Exodus 9:24
24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as
there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
Exodus 9:25
25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that [was] in the
field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake
every tree of the field.
Exodus 9:26
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel [were], was there
no hail.
Exodus 9:27
27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have
sinned this time: the LORD [is] righteous, and I and my people [are] wicked.
Exodus 9:28
28 Intreat the LORD (for [it is] enough) that there be no [more] mighty thunderings
and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
Exodus 9:29
29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread
abroad my hands unto the LORD; [and] the thunder shall cease, neither shall
there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth [is] the LORD'S.
Exodus 9:30
30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD
God.
Exodus 9:31
31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley [was] in the ear,
and the flax [was] bolled.
Exodus 9:32
32 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they [were] not grown up.
Exodus 9:33
33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands
unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured
upon the earth.
Exodus 9:34
34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased,
he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
Exodus 9:35
35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children
of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
Chapter 10
Exodus 10:1
1 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened
his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before
him:
Exodus 10:2
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.
Exodus 10:3
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.
Exodus 10:4
4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the
locusts into thy coast:
Exodus 10:5
5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see
the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth
unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of
the field:
Exodus 10:6
6 And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the
houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers
have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he
turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
Exodus 10:7
7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto
us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not
yet that Egypt is destroyed?
Exodus 10:8
8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them,
Go, serve the LORD your God: [but] who [are] they that shall go?
Exodus 10:9
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.
Exodus 10:10
10 And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go,
and your little ones: look [to it]; for evil [is] before you.
Exodus 10:11
11 Not so: go now ye [that are] men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did desire.
And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
Exodus 10:12
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.
Exodus 10:13
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.
Exodus 10:14
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.
Exodus 10:15
15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened;
and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which
the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in
the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
Exodus 10:16
16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned
against the LORD your God, and against you.
Exodus 10:17
17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the
LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
Exodus 10:18
18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
Exodus 10:19
19 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts,
and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts
of Egypt.
Exodus 10:20
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children
of Israel go.
Exodus 10:21
21 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven,
that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness [which] may
be felt.
Exodus 10:22
22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness
in all the land of Egypt three days:
Exodus 10:23
23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days:
but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Exodus 10:24
24 And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let
your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
Exodus 10:25
25 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that
we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
Exodus 10:26
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.
Exodus 10:27
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
Exodus 10:28
28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my
face no more; for in [that] day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
Exodus 10:29
29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
Chapter 11
Exodus 11:1
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.
Exodus 11:2
2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour,
and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
Exodus 11:3
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.
Exodus 11:4
4 ¶ And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into
the midst of Egypt:
Exodus 11:5
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.
Exodus 11:6
6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there
was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
Exodus 11:7
7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue,
against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference
between the Egyptians and Israel.
Exodus 11:8
8 And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves
unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after
that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
Exodus 11:9
9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my
wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 11:10
10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened
Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his
land.
Chapter 12
Exodus 12:1
1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Exodus 12:2
2 This month [shall be] unto you the beginning of months: it [shall be] the
first month of the year to you.
Exodus 12:3
3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth [day] of
this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house
of [their] fathers, a lamb for an house:
Exodus 12:4
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.
Exodus 12:5
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take
[it] out from the sheep, or from the goats:
Exodus 12:6
6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the
whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
Exodus 12:7
7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike [it] on the two side posts and
on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
Exodus 12:8
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened
bread; [and] with bitter [herbs] they shall eat it.
Exodus 12:9
9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast [with] fire; his
head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
Exodus 12:10
10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth
of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
Exodus 12:11
11 And thus shall ye eat it; [with] your loins girded, your shoes on your feet,
and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it [is] the LORD'S
passover.
Exodus 12:12
12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all
the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the
gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I [am] the LORD.
Exodus 12:13
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.
Exodus 12:14
14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast
to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance
for ever.
Exodus 12:15
15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put
away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the
first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
Exodus 12:16
16 And in the first day [there shall be] an holy convocation, and in the seventh
day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done
in them, save [that] which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
Exodus 12:17
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.
Exodus 12:18
18 In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall
eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
Exodus 12:19
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.
Exodus 12:20
20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened
bread.
Exodus 12:21
21 ¶ Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them,
Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
Exodus 12:22
22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip [it] in the blood that [is]
in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that
[is] in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until
the morning.
Exodus 12:23
23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth
the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over
the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite
[you].
Exodus 12:24
24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons
for ever.
Exodus 12:25
25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will
give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
Exodus 12:26
26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean
ye by this service?
Exodus 12:27
27 That ye shall say, It [is] the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, who passed
over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians,
and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
Exodus 12:28
28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses
and Aaron, so did they.
Exodus 12:29
29 ¶ And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn
in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto
the firstborn of the captive that [was] in the dungeon; and all the firstborn
of cattle.
Exodus 12:30
30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians;
and there was a great cry in Egypt; for [there was] not a house where [there
was] not one dead.
Exodus 12:31
31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, [and] get
you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go,
serve the LORD, as ye have said.
Exodus 12:32
32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless
me also.
Exodus 12:33
33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them
out of the land in haste; for they said, We [be] all dead [men].
Exodus 12:34
34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs
being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
Exodus 12:35
35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed
of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
Exodus 12:36
36 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that
they lent unto them [such things as they required]. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
Exodus 12:37
37 ¶ And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about
six hundred thousand on foot [that were] men, beside children.
Exodus 12:38
38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, [even]
very much cattle.
Exodus 12:39
39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out
of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and
could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
Exodus 12:40
40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, [was] four
hundred and thirty years.
Exodus 12:41
41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even
the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from
the land of Egypt.
Exodus 12:42
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.
Exodus 12:43
43 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This [is] the ordinance of
the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
Exodus 12:44
44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised
him, then shall he eat thereof.
Exodus 12:45
45 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
Exodus 12:46
46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh
abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
Exodus 12:47
47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
Exodus 12:48
48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to
the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep
it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person
shall eat thereof.
Exodus 12:49
49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth
among you.
Exodus 12:50
50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron,
so did they.
Exodus 12:51
51 And it came to pass the selfsame day, [that] the LORD did bring the children
of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
Chapter 13
Exodus 13:1
1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Exodus 13:2
2 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the
children of Israel, [both] of man and of beast: it [is] mine.
Exodus 13:3
3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from
Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought
you out from this [place]: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
Exodus 13:4
4 This day came ye out in the month Abib.
Exodus 13:5
5 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites,
and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which
he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey,
that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
Exodus 13:6
6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day [shall
be] a feast to the LORD.
Exodus 13:7
7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread
be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
Exodus 13:8
8 And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, [This is done] because of
that [which] the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
Exodus 13:9
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.
Exodus 13:10
10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
Exodus 13:11
11 ¶ And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the
Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
Exodus 13:12
12 That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and
every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males [shall be]
the LORD'S.
Exodus 13:13
13 And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou
wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of
man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
Exodus 13:14
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:
Exodus 13:15
15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew
all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn
of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being
males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
Exodus 13:16
16 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine
eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.
Exodus 13:17
17 ¶ And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God
led them not [through] the way of the land of the Philistines, although that
[was] near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see
war, and they return to Egypt:
Exodus 13:18
18 But God led the people about, [through] the way of the wilderness of the
Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
Exodus 13:19
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the
children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up
my bones away hence with you.
Exodus 13:20
20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge
of the wilderness.
Exodus 13:21
21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them
the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day
and night:
Exodus 13:22
22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by
night, [from] before the people.
Chapter 14
Exodus 14:1
1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Exodus 14:2
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth,
between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp
by the sea.
Exodus 14:3
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They [are] entangled in the
land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
Exodus 14:4
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.
Exodus 14:5
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?
Exodus 14:6
6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
Exodus 14:7
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and
captains over every one of them.
Exodus 14:8
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after
the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.
Exodus 14:9
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.
Exodus 14:10
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.
Exodus 14:11
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?
Exodus 14:12
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.
Exodus 14:13
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.
Exodus 14:14
14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
Exodus 14:15
15 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak
unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
Exodus 14:16
16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide
it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry [ground] through the midst of
the sea.
Exodus 14:17
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.
Exodus 14:18
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have gotten me
honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
Exodus 14:19
19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went
behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood
behind them:
Exodus 14:20
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.
Exodus 14:21
21 ¶ And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused
the sea to go [back] by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea
dry [land], and the waters were divided.
Exodus 14:22
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry [ground]:
and the waters [were] a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
Exodus 14:23
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea,
[even] all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Exodus 14:24
24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host
of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the
host of the Egyptians,
Exodus 14:25
25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that
the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth
for them against the Egyptians.
Exodus 14:26
26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the
waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their
horsemen.
Exodus 14:27
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.
Exodus 14:28
28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, [and]
all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not
so much as one of them.
Exodus 14:29
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry [land] in the midst of the sea;
and the waters [were] a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
Exodus 14:30
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and
Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
Exodus 14:31
31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and
the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
Chapter 15
Exodus 15:1
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.
Exodus 15:2
2 The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he [is]
my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt
him.
Exodus 15:3
3 The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.
Exodus 15:4
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains
also are drowned in the Red sea.
Exodus 15:5
5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
Exodus 15:6
6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD,
hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
Exodus 15:7
7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose
up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, [which] consumed them as stubble.
Exodus 15:8
8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the
floods stood upright as an heap, [and] the depths were congealed in the heart
of the sea.
Exodus 15:9
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my
lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy
them.
Exodus 15:10
10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in
the mighty waters.
Exodus 15:11
11 Who [is] like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who [is] like thee, glorious
in holiness, fearful [in] praises, doing wonders?
Exodus 15:12
12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
Exodus 15:13
13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people [which] thou hast redeemed: thou
hast guided [them] in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
Exodus 15:14
14 The people shall hear, [and] be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants
of Palestina.
Exodus 15:15
15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling
shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
Exodus 15:16
16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall
be [as] still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people
pass over, [which] thou hast purchased.
Exodus 15:17
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.
Exodus 15:18
18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
Exodus 15:19
19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen
into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but
the children of Israel went on dry [land] in the midst of the sea.
Exodus 15:20
20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand;
and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
Exodus 15:21
21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
Exodus 15:22
22 ¶ So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the
wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no
water.
Exodus 15:23
23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah,
for they [were] bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
Exodus 15:24
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
Exodus 15:25
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,
Exodus 15:26
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.
Exodus 15:27
27 And they came to Elim, where [were] twelve wells of water, and threescore
and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
Chapter 16
Exodus 16:1
1 ¶ And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of
the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which [is] between Elim
and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out
of the land of Egypt.
Exodus 16:2
2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses
and Aaron in the wilderness:
Exodus 16:3
3 And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the
hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, [and]
when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness,
to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
Exodus 16:4
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.
