¹⁴ And they conversed with each other about all these things that happened. ¹⁵ And it came to pass, while they conversed and discussed, that Jesus himself also having approached, went along with them. ¹⁶ But their eyes were held, not to recognize him. ¹⁷ And he said to them, What are these words that ye toss back to each other, while walking and are looking sad. ¹⁸ And one, whose name was Cleopas, having answered, said to him, Thou only visit Jerusalem and do not know the things that happened in it during these days? ¹⁹ And he said to them, What? And they said to him, The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who became a prophet, a mighty man in work and word before God and all the people, ²⁰ and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up for condemnation of death, and crucified him. ²¹ But we hoped that he is the man who is going to redeem Israel. But even with all these things, it brings this third day today from which time these things happened. ²² But also some of our women astonished us, having come to be at the sepulcher early morning. ²³ And not having found his body, they came, saying also to have seen a vision of agents who say he is alive. ²⁴ And some of those with us went to the sepulcher, and found it this way, just as also the women said, but they did not see him. ²⁵ And he said to them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets spoke. ²⁶ Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? ²⁷ And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things about himself. ²⁸ And they came near to the village where they were going, and he pretended to go further. ²⁹ And they constrained him, saying, Remain with us, because it is toward evening, and the day has declined. And he went in to remain with them. ³⁰ And it came to pass during his dining with them, that, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken in pieces he gave to them. ³¹ And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he became invisible from them. ³² And they said to each other, Was not our heart burning within us while he spoke to us on the way, while he opened to us the scriptures? ³³ And having risen up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven gathered together, ³⁴ and those who were with them who said, The Lord really was raised, and was seen by Simon. ³⁵ And they reported the things on the road, and how he was made known to them during the breaking of the bread. ³⁶ And as they spoke these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and says to them, Peace to you. ³⁷ But having been startled, and having become frightened, they presumed to see a spirit. ³⁸ And he said to them, Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? ³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as ye see me having. ⁴⁰ And having said this, he displayed to them his hands and feet. ⁴¹ And while they still disbelieved from joy and wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything to eat here? ⁴² And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish and from a bees honeycomb. ⁴³ And having taken it, he ate before them. ⁴⁴ And he said to them, These are the words that I spoke to you while still being with you, that it is necessary for all things that are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms about me to be fulfilled. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their mind to understand the scriptures. ⁴⁶ And he said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day, ⁴⁷ and to proclaim in his name repentance and remission of sins for all the nations, having begun from Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ And ye are witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹ And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you. But stay ye in the city until ye are clothed with power from on high. ⁵⁰ And he led them outside as far as to Bethany, and having lifted up his hands, he blessed them. ⁵¹ And it came to pass while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was brought up into heaven. ⁵² And having worshiping him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy, ⁵³ and they were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Truly.

¹⁹ speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and striking strings in your heart to the Lord,

³ And they sing the song of Moses the bondman of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty, righteous and true are thy ways, thou King of the nations. ⁴ Who will, no, not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name, because thou alone are holy? Because all the nations will come and worship before thee, because thy righteous deeds were made known.

¹⁰ And those who know thy name will put their trust in thee, for thou, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek thee.

² My soul shall make its boast in LORD. The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.

¹⁷ I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently shall find me.

¹⁹ I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I did not say to the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain. I, LORD, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.

²⁵ In LORD all the seed of Israel shall be justified, and shall glory.

⁶ Seek ye LORD while he may be found. Call ye upon him while he is near. ⁷ Let the wicked man forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. And let him return to LORD, and he will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

²³ Thus says LORD: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, nor let the mighty man glory in his might. Let not the rich man glory in his riches, ²⁴ but let him who boasts boast in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am LORD who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth. For in these things I delight, says LORD.

²⁵ LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

⁹ And I say to you, ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and ye will find. Knock, and it will be opened. ¹⁰ For every man who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

²⁹ so that no flesh may boast before God.

³¹ so that, just as it is written, He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.

¹⁴ But may it not be from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

⁴¹ Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength. Let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy sanctified rejoice in goodness.

⁸ My heart said to thee, I have sought thy face. O LORD, I will seek thy face.

⁶¹ and delivered their strength into captivity, and their glory into the adversary's hand.

⁸ Arise, O LORD, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength.

⁴ For thus says LORD to the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and ye shall live. ⁵ But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba. For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to naught. ⁶ Seek LORD, and ye shall live, lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.

² before the decree bring forth, before the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of LORD comes upon you, before the day of LORD's anger comes upon you. ³ Seek ye LORD, all ye meek of the earth who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. It may be ye will be hid in the day of LORD's anger.

¹⁸ Thou shall not be afraid of them. Thou shall remember well what LORD thy God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt: ¹⁹ the great trials which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm by which LORD thy God brought thee out. So shall LORD thy God do to all the peoples of whom thou are afraid.

² And thou shall remember all the way which LORD thy God has led thee these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble thee, to prove thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou would keep his commandments, or not.

⁷ Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask thy father, and he will show thee, thine elders, and they will tell thee.

⁵ Many, O LORD my God, are the wonderful works which thou have done, and thy thoughts which are toward us. They cannot be set in order to thee. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

¹¹ I will make mention of the deeds of LORD, for I will remember thy wonders of old.

² Bless LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,

¹³ With my lips I have declared all the ordinances of thy mouth.

¹⁸ Do not remember ye the former things, nor consider the things of old. ¹⁹ Behold, I will do a new thing. Now it shall spring forth. Shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

¹⁹ And after taking bread, having expressed thanks, he broke in pieces, and gave to them, saying, This is my body that is given for you. Do ye this in my memory.

²⁴ and having expressed thanks, he broke in pieces, and said, Take ye, eat, this is my body broken for you. This do ye for my memorial. ²⁵ Likewise also the cup after the supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood. This do, as often as ye drink it, for my memorial. ²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

⁷ And I heard the altar saying, Yea, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

² Because true and righteous are his judgments, because he has judged the great whore who ruined the earth by her fornication, and he has avenged the blood of his bondmen from her hand.

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.

⁶ For thou are a holy people to LORD thy God. LORD thy God has chosen thee to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth. ⁷ LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people, for ye were the fewest of all peoples, ⁸ but because LORD loves you. And because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

⁴² For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham his servant.

⁵ that I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

⁴ For LORD has chosen Jacob to himself, Israel for his own possession.

⁸ But thou, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend,

¹⁴ Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel. I will help thee, says LORD, and thy Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

¹ Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen. ² Thus says LORD who made thee, and formed thee from the womb, who will help thee: Fear not, O Jacob my servant, and thou, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

¹⁶ Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and appointed you, so that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit may remain, so that anything whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, he may give you.

⁴ who are Israelites, of whom is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the divine service, and the promises, ⁵ of whom are the fathers, and from whom (according to flesh) is the Christ, God who is over all is blessed into the ages. Truly. ⁶ But it is not as that the word of God has failed. For all those from Israel, these are not Israel, ⁷ nor, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children, rather, In Isaac a seed will be called for thee. ⁸ That is, the children of the flesh, these are not children of God, instead, the children of the promise are reckoned for seed. ⁹ For this is the word of promise: At this time I will come, and there will be a son by Sarah. ¹⁰ And not only so, but also Rebecca having bed from one man, our father Isaac ¹¹ (for not yet having been born, nor having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to selection might remain, not from works, but from him who calls), ¹² it was said to her, The older will serve the younger. ¹³ As it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I regarded inferior. ¹⁴ What will we say then? Is there injustice from God? May it not happen! ¹⁵ For he says to Moses, I will be merciful to whom I may be merciful, and I will be compassionate to whomever I may be compassionate. ¹⁶ So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who is merciful. ¹⁷ For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this same thing I raised thee up, that I might display in thee my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth. ¹⁸ So then he is merciful to whom he will, and whom he will he hardens. ¹⁹ Thou will say to me therefore, Why does he still find fault? For who has resisted his purpose? ²⁰ Rather, O man, who are thou answering back to God? No, will the thing formed say to him who formed it, Why did thou make me this way? ²¹ Or has the potter no right over the clay, from the same lump certainly to make this vessel for esteem, and that for disesteem? ²² And if God, wanting to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, ²³ even that he might make known the wealth of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he previously prepared for glory, ²⁴ namely us whom he called, not only from Jews but also from Gentiles. ²⁵ As also he says in Hosea, I will call those not my people, my people, and her who was not beloved, beloved. ²⁶ And it will be in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there they will be called, sons of the living God. ²⁷ And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved. ²⁸ Since he is completing and finishing quickly a matter in righteousness, because a matter that has been cut short upon the earth, the Lord will perform. ²⁹ And just as Isaiah has foretold, Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we would have become as Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.

⁹ But ye are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for an acquired possession, so that ye might broadly proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

⁷ And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee and to thy seed after thee.

² I am LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

¹⁷ Thou have avouched LORD this day to be thy God, and that thou would walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and hearken to his voice. ¹⁸ And LORD has avouched thee this day to be a people for his own possession, as he has promised thee, and that thou should keep all his commandments,

¹⁰ Ye stand this day all of you before LORD your God-your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel, ¹¹ your little ones, your wives, and thy sojourner who is in the midst of thy camps, from the hewer of thy wood to the drawer of thy water- ¹² that thou may enter into the covenant of LORD thy God, and into his oath, which LORD thy God makes with thee this day, ¹³ that he may establish thee this day to himself for a people, and that he may be to thee a God, as he spoke to thee, and as he swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. ¹⁴ Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath, ¹⁵ but with him who stands here with us this day before LORD our God, and also with him who is not here with us this day

¹⁵ And if it seems evil to you to serve LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve LORD. ¹⁶ And the people answered and said, Far be it from us that we should forsake LORD, to serve other gods. ¹⁷ For LORD our God, he it is who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way in which we went, and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed. ¹⁸ And LORD drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who dwelt in the land. Therefore we also will serve LORD, for he is our God. ¹⁹ And Joshua said to the people, Ye cannot serve LORD, for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God. He will not forgive your transgression nor your sins. ²⁰ If ye forsake LORD, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you evil, and consume you, after he has done you good. ²¹ And the people said to Joshua, No, but we will serve LORD. ²² And Joshua said to the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen for you, LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses. ²³ Now therefore, he said, put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to LORD, the God of Israel. ²⁴ And the people said to Joshua, we will serve LORD our God, and we will hearken to his voice.

¹⁰ As is thy name, O God, so is thy praise to the ends of the earth. Thy right hand is full of righteousness. ¹¹ Let mount Zion be glad. Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of thy judgments.

⁷ For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today, O that ye would hear his voice!

³ Know ye that LORD, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

⁹ With my soul I have desired thee in the night. Yea, with my spirit within me I will seek thee earnestly. For when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

⁴ Who will, no, not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name, because thou alone are holy? Because all the nations will come and worship before thee, because thy righteous deeds were made known.

⁹ Know therefore that LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,

¹⁵ Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

⁵ and said, I beseech thee, O LORD, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments:

⁴⁵ And he remembered his covenant for them, and relented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

⁵ He has given food to those who fear him. He will ever be mindful of his covenant.

⁹ He has sent redemption to his people. He has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and reverend is his name.

⁴ And I prayed to LORD my God, and made confession, and said, Oh, Lord, the great and fearful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments,

⁷² to do mercy with our fathers, and his holy covenant to be remembered, ⁷³ the oath that he swore to Abraham our father, to give to us, ⁷⁴ without fear from the hand of our enemies, having been saved to serve him

⁷ And LORD appeared to Abram, and said, I will give this land to thy seed. And there he built an altar to LORD, who appeared to him.

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

¹⁶ and said, By myself I have sworn, says LORD, because thou have done this thing, and have not withheld thy son, thine only son, ¹⁷ that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore, and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies, ¹⁸ and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou have obeyed my voice.

³ Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee. For to thee, and to thy seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham thy father.

¹³ And, behold, LORD stood above it, and said, I am LORD, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac. The land on which thou lie, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed.

¹¹ And God said to him, I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.

⁸ and found his heart faithful before thee, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give it to his seed, and have performed thy words, for thou are righteous.

⁸ And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so he begot Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. And Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.

¹⁷ And I say this, a covenant previously confirmed by God in Christ, the law, which happened four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul in order to make the promise useless.

¹⁷ By which God, wanting to demonstrate more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutableness of his resolve, confirmed it by an oath.

⁷ And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee and to thy seed after thee. ⁸ And I will give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojourning, all the land of Canaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.

¹³ And, behold, LORD stood above it, and said, I am LORD, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac. The land on which thou lie, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed. ¹⁴ And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shall spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. And in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. ¹⁵ And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee wherever thou go, and will bring thee again into this land. For I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

⁵ Truly my house is not so with God. Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure. For it is all my salvation, and all my desire, though he does not make it to grow.

²⁰ Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep by the blood of an eternal covenant-our Lord Jesus-

¹⁵ For all the land which thou see, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed forever.

¹⁸ In that day LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, To thy seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

³ Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee. For to thee, and to thy seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham thy father. ⁴ And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give to thy seed all these lands, and in thy seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed,

⁵⁵ He also drove out the nations before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁸ And I will give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojourning, all the land of Canaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.

⁴ I am a stranger and a sojourner with you. Give me a possession of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.

³⁰ And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. And, I being few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and smite me, and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.

⁷ LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people, for ye were the fewest of all peoples,

⁵ And thou shall answer and say before LORD thy God, My father was a Syrian ready to perish, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number. And he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.

² Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you. For when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.

²⁴ Son of man, those who inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land, but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance. ²⁵ Therefore say to them, Thus says the lord LORD: Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. And shall ye possess the land? ²⁶ Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every man his neighbor's wife. And shall ye possess the land? ²⁷ Thus shall thou say to them. Thus says the lord LORD: As I live, surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword, and he who is in the open field I will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence. ²⁸ And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. And the pride of her power shall cease. And the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through. ²⁹ Then they shall know that I am LORD when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed. ³⁰ And as for thee, son of man, the sons of thy people talk of thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, each one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that comes forth from LORD. ³¹ And they come to thee as the people come, and they sit before thee as my people. And they hear thy words, but do not do them. For with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain. ³² And, lo, thou are to them as a very lovely song of he who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument. For they hear thy words, but they do not do them. ³³ And when this comes to pass, (behold, it comes), then they shall know that a prophet has been among them.

⁵ And he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a footstep. And he promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, although there was no child by him.

⁹ By faith he lived alien in the land of promise as a foreigner, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow heirs of the same promise.

¹² And therefore from one man, and these things having become deadened, were begotten as the stars of the heaven for multitude, and as the sand of the seashore, countless.

¹⁴ And it came to pass, that, when Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. ¹⁵ And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. ¹⁶ And he dealt well with Abram for her sake. And he had sheep, and oxen, and he-donkeys, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-donkeys, and camels. ¹⁷ And LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.

¹ And Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur. And he sojourned in Gerar. ² And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. ³ But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou are but a dead man, because of the woman whom thou have taken, for she is a man's wife. ⁴ Now Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, will thou slay even a righteous nation? ⁵ Did he not himself say to me, She is my sister? And she, even she herself said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this. ⁶ And God said to him in the dream, Yes, I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou have done this. And I also withheld thee from sinning against me. Therefore I did not allow thee to touch her. ⁷ Now therefore restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shall live. And if thou do not restore her, know thou that thou shall surely die, thou, and all that are thine.

¹⁴ And he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household. And the Philistines envied him. ¹⁵ Now all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with soil. ¹⁶ And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go from us, for thou are much mightier than we. ¹⁷ And Isaac departed from there, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. ¹⁸ And Isaac again dug the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father. For the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. And he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. ¹⁹ And Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. ²⁰ And the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, The water is ours. And he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him. ²¹ And they dug another well, and they strove for that also. And he called the name of it Sitnah. ²² And he moved from there, and dug another well, and they did not strive for that. And he called the name of it Rehoboth. And he said, For now LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land. ²³ And he went up from there to Beersheba. ²⁴ And LORD appeared to him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father. Fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake. ²⁵ And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of LORD, and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well. ²⁶ Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army. ²⁷ And Isaac said to them, Why have ye come to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you? ²⁸ And they said, We saw plainly that LORD was with thee. And we said, Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and thee. And let us make a covenant with thee, ²⁹ that thou will do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done to thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace. Thou are now the blessed of LORD. ³⁰ And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank. ³¹ And they rose up promptly in the morning, and swore one to another. And Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace. ³² And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, We have found water. ³³ And he called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.

²⁴ And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, Take heed to thyself that thou not speak to Jacob either good or bad. ²⁵ And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain. And Laban encamped with his brothers in the mountain of Gilead. ²⁶ And Laban said to Jacob, What have thou done, that thou have slipped away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters as captives of the sword? ²⁷ Why did thou flee secretly, and creep away from me, and did not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp, ²⁸ and did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now thou have done foolishly. ²⁹ It is in the power of my hand to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou not speak to Jacob either good or bad.

⁵ And they journeyed, and a terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

¹⁶ And thou shall say to him, LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. And, behold, until now thou have not hearkened. ¹⁷ Thus says LORD, In this thou shall know that I am LORD. Behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.

⁷ Now therefore restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shall live. And if thou do not restore her, know thou that thou shall surely die, thou, and all that are thine.

¹¹ And Abimelech ordered all the people, saying, He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.

³⁹ And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, of the fatness of the earth shall be thy dwelling, and of the dew of heaven from above. ⁴⁰ And by thy sword thou shall live, and thou shall serve thy brother. And it shall come to pass, when thou shall break loose, that thou shall shake his yoke from off thy neck.

¹⁹ And his father refused, and said, I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great. However, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. ²⁰ And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee will Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh. And he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

⁸ Judah, thy brothers shall praise thee. Thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies. Thy father's sons shall bow down before thee. ⁹ Judah is a lion's whelp. From the prey, my son, thou have gone up. He stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as a lioness, who shall rouse him up? ¹⁰ The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs, and to him shall the obedience of the peoples be. ¹¹ Binding his foal to the vine, and his donkey's colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine, and his vesture in the blood of grapes. ¹² His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. ¹³ Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea, and he shall be for a haven of ships. And his border shall be upon Sidon. ¹⁴ Issachar is a strong donkey, couching down between the sheepfolds. ¹⁵ And he saw a resting place that it was good, and the land that it was pleasant. And he bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant under task work. ¹⁶ Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. ¹⁷ Dan shall be a serpent in the way, an adder in the path, that bites the horse's heels, so that his rider falls backward. ¹⁸ I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD. ¹⁹ Gad, a troop shall press upon him, but he shall press upon their heel. ²⁰ Out of the Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties. ²¹ Naphtali is a hind let loose. He gives goodly words. ²² Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a fountain, his branches run over the wall. ²³ The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and persecute him, ²⁴ but his bow abode in strength. And the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob (From there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel), 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 couches beneath, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb. ²⁶ The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my forefathers to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. They shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers. ²⁷ Benjamin is a wolf that ravens. In the morning he shall devour the prey, and at evening he shall divide the spoil. ²⁸ All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is it that their father spoke to them and blessed them; every man according to his blessing he blessed them. ²⁹ And he ordered them, and said to them, I am to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite, 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 from Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying place. ³¹ There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife, there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah, ³² the field and the cave that is in it, which was purchased from the sons of Heth. ³³ And when Jacob made an end of charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the spirit, and was gathered to his people.

¹⁶ And thou shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel. And thou shall anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah to be prophet in thy place.

⁸ For thus says LORD of hosts: After glory he has sent me to the nations which plundered you. For he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

²⁷ And for you, the anointing that ye received from him abides in you, and ye have no need that any man teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is no lie, and just as it taught you, ye will abide in him.

²⁵ And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one; what God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh. ²⁶ The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream is one. ²⁷ And the seven lean and ill-favored cows that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind, they shall be seven years of famine. ²⁸ That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh. ²⁹ Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt, ³⁰ and there shall arise after them seven years of famine. And all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land. ³¹ And the plenty shall not be known in the land because of that famine which follows, for it shall be very grievous. ³² And because the dream was doubled to Pharaoh, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

⁵⁴ And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said. And there was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

⁵ And the sons of Israel came to buy among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan. ⁶ And Joseph was the governor over the land. It was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brothers came, and bowed down themselves to him with their faces to the earth.

¹³ And there was no bread in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.

¹⁹ Why should 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 to Pharaoh. And give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land not be desolate.

²⁶ When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight, and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

¹ Now Elisha had spoken to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thy household, and sojourn wherever thou can sojourn, for LORD has called for a famine, and it shall also come upon the land seven years.

¹⁵ and wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.

¹ For, behold, the Lord, LORD of hosts, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah support and staff, the whole support of bread, and the whole support of water,

¹⁶ Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness, and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay,

⁶ Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? Shall evil befall a city, and LORD has not done it?

¹ Thus the lord LORD showed me: And, behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth, and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings. ² And it came to pass that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O lord LORD, forgive, I beseech thee. How shall Jacob stand, for he is small? ³ LORD relented concerning this. It shall not be, says LORD. ⁴ Thus the lord LORD showed me: And, behold, the lord LORD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land.

¹⁰ Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit. ¹¹ And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the grain, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground brings forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands.

¹⁷ I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the work of your hands, yet ye turned not to me, says LORD.

⁸ And having answered, the centurion said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou should come under my roof, but only speak the word, and my boy will be healed. ⁹ For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under myself. And I say to this man, Go, and he goes, and to another, Come, and he comes, and to my bondman, Do this, and he does it.

¹¹ Now a famine came on all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers found no sustenance.

⁸ And behold, a green horse, and he who sits on top of it. His name was Death, and Hades followed with him. And authority was given to him over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with starvation, and with what is deadly, and by the beasts of the earth.

²⁷ Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brothers hearkened to him. ²⁸ And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen, and they drew and lifted Joseph up out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt.

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

¹ And Joseph was brought down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there.

⁴ And Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near, and he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. ⁵ And now be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

⁷ And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance. ⁸ So now it was not you that sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

²⁰ And as for you, ye meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

⁹ And the patriarchs, being envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. And God was with him,

²⁰ And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound. And he was there in the prison.

¹⁵ For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.

¹⁰ even those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,

²⁴ who, having received such an order, threw them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks.

²⁰ And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast to all his servants. And he lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants. ²¹ And he restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand,

¹¹ And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he, we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream. ¹² And there was a young man with us there, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, and we told him. And he interpreted to us our dreams. He interpreted to each man according to his dream. ¹³ And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; he restored me to my office, and he hanged him. ¹⁴ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph. And they brought him hastily out of the dungeon, and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in to Pharaoh. ¹⁵ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is no man who can interpret it. And I have heard say of thee, that when thou hear a dream thou can interpret it. ¹⁶ And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

²⁵ And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one; what God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.

⁴ Thou are my King, O God. Command deliverance for Jacob.

¹ The king's heart is in the hand of LORD as streams of water. He turns it wherever he will.

³⁰ But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living man, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that thou may know the thoughts of thy heart.

¹⁰ and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And he appointed him governor over Egypt and his entire house.

¹⁴ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph. And they brought him hastily out of the dungeon, and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in to Pharaoh.

⁴⁰ Thou shall be over my house, and according to thy word all my people shall be ruled. Only in the throne I will be greater than thou. ⁴¹ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. ⁴² And Pharaoh took his signet ring from off his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck. ⁴³ And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had, and they cried before him, Bow the knee. And he set him over all the land of Egypt. ⁴⁴ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee no man shall lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.

⁵⁵ And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph; what he says to you, do.

⁸ So now it was not you that sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

²⁶ And they told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And his heart fainted, for he did not believe them.

³³ Now therefore let Pharaoh look out for a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

³⁸ And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the spirit of God?

⁴⁴ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee no man shall lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.

¹¹ The rulers of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become brutish. How will ye say to Pharaoh, I am the son of wise men, the son of ancient kings?

⁶ And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.

⁹ Hasten ye, and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus says thy son Joseph: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me, delay not. ¹⁰ And thou shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shall be near to me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou have. ¹¹ And there will I nourish thee, for there are yet five years of famine, lest thou come to poverty, thou, and thy household, and all that thou have.

² And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here I am. 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. 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. ⁵ And Jacob rose up from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. ⁶ And they took up their goods, and all their property, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, they came into the land of Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him: ⁷ the sons, and the sons of his sons with him, his daughters, and the daughters of his daughters. And he brought all his seed into Egypt.

⁶ The land of Egypt is before thee. Make thy father and thy brothers to dwell in the best of the land; in the land of Goshen let them dwell. And if thou know any able men among them, then make them rulers over my cattle. ⁷ And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh. ⁸ And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life? ⁹ And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.

²⁸ And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred forty-seven years.

⁴ And I gave to Isaac, Jacob and Esau. And I gave to Esau mount Seir to possess it. And Jacob and his sons went down into Egypt.

⁵¹ and smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

²⁷ They set among them his signs and wonders in the land of Ham.

²² wondrous works in the land of Ham, and fearful things by the Red Sea.

¹¹ Now a famine came on all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers found no sustenance. ¹² But when Jacob heard of grain being in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time. ¹³ And during the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's race became manifest to Pharaoh. ¹⁴ And Joseph having sent forth, he summoned Jacob his father. And all his kinfolk, in souls, were seventy-five. ¹⁵ And Jacob went down into Egypt, and he perished, he and our fathers.

¹⁷ The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and raised up the people during the sojourn in the land of Egypt. And with a lofty arm he brought them out of it.

¹⁶ And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth. So that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then may thy seed also be numbered.

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.

⁷ And the sons of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty, and the land was filled with them. ⁸ Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph. ⁹ And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the sons of Israel are more and mightier than we.

³⁷ And the sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, besides children.

¹⁷ But as the time of the promise approached that God swore to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

¹³ And he said to Abram, Know of a certainty that thy seed shall be sojourners in a land that is not theirs. And shall serve them, and they shall afflict them four hundred years.

⁸ Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph. ⁹ And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the sons of Israel are more and mightier than we. ¹⁰ Come, let us deal craftily with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when war happens, they also join themselves to our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land. ¹¹ Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built store-cities for Pharaoh, Pithom and Rameses. ¹² But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread out. And they were grieved because of the sons of Israel. ¹³ And the Egyptians made the sons of Israel to serve with rigor. ¹⁴ And they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field, all their service, with which they made them serve with rigor.

¹⁶ And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the birth-stool, if it be a son, then ye shall kill him, but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.

²³ And it came to pass in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died. And the sons of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.

²¹ And LORD said to Moses, When thou go back into Egypt, see that thou do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in thy hand, but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.

¹⁶ But indeed for this cause I have raised thee up, to display in thee my power, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.

¹ And LORD said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in the midst of them,

³⁰ But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as at this day.

¹⁹ This man, who cunningly victimized our race, mistreated our fathers to make their infants be placed outside in order not to keep alive.

¹⁷ For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this same thing I raised thee up, that I might display in thee my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth. ¹⁸ So then he is merciful to whom he will, and whom he will he hardens. ¹⁹ Thou will say to me therefore, Why does he still find fault? For who has resisted his purpose?

¹⁰ Come now therefore, and I will send thee to Pharaoh, that thou may bring forth my people the sons of Israel out of Egypt.

¹² Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shall speak. ¹³ And he said, Oh, Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou will send. ¹⁴ And the anger of LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is there not Aaron thy brother the Levite? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he comes forth to meet thee, and when he sees thee, he will be glad in his heart.

¹¹ Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land.

²⁶ These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom LORD said, Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies. ²⁷ These are those who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt. These are that Moses and Aaron.

¹ And LORD said to Moses, See, I have made thee as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.

¹² For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents, but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

¹ And bring thou near to thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the sons of Israel, that he may minister to me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons. ² And thou shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for beauty.

¹² And thou shall put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

²⁹ And Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before LORD continually. ³⁰ And thou shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goes in before LORD. And Aaron shall bear the judgment of the sons of Israel upon his heart before LORD continually. ³¹ And thou shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue. ³² And it shall have a hole for the head in the midst of it. It shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it be not torn. ³³ And upon the skirts of it thou shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the skirts of it, and bells of gold between them round about: ³⁴ a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about. ³⁵ And it shall be upon Aaron to minister. And the sound of it shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before LORD, and when he comes out, that he does not die. ³⁶ And thou shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO JEHOVAH. ³⁷ And thou shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the miter. It shall be upon the forefront of the miter. ³⁸ And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead. And Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the sons of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts. And it shall always be upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before LORD.

⁵ And thou shall take the garments, and put upon Aaron the tunic, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod. ⁶ And thou shall set the miter upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the miter. ⁷ Then thou shall take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him. ⁸ And thou shall bring his sons, and put tunics upon them. ⁹ And thou shall gird them with sashes, Aaron and his sons, and bind head-coverings on them. And they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute. And thou shall consecrate Aaron and his sons. ¹⁰ And thou shall bring the bullock before the tent of meeting. And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock, ¹¹ and thou shall kill the bullock before LORD, at the door of the tent of meeting. ¹² And thou shall take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and thou shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar. ¹³ And thou shall take all the fat that covers the inwards, and the caul upon the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar. ¹⁴ But the flesh of the bullock, and its skin, and it dung, thou shall burn with fire outside the camp. It is a sin offering. ¹⁵ Thou shall also take the one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram. ¹⁶ And thou shall slay the ram, and thou shall take its blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar. ¹⁷ And thou shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its inwards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head, ¹⁸ and thou shall burn the whole ram upon the altar. It is a burnt offering to LORD. It is a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to LORD. ¹⁹ And thou shall take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram. ²⁰ Then thou shall kill the ram, and take of its blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about. ²¹ And thou shall take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him. And he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him. ²² Also thou shall take from the ram the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat that covers the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration), ²³ and one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before LORD, ²⁴ and thou shall put the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and shall wave them for a wave offering before LORD. ²⁵ And thou shall take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar upon the burnt offering, for a sweet savor before LORD. It is an offering made by fire to LORD. ²⁶ And thou shall take the breast of Aaron's ram of consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before LORD, and it shall be thy portion. ²⁷ And thou shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the thigh of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons, ²⁸ and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion forever from the sons of Israel, for it is a heave offering. And it shall be a heave offering from the sons of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their heave offering to LORD. ²⁹ And the holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them. ³⁰ Seven days shall the son that is priest in his stead put them on, when he comes into the tent of meeting to minister in the holy place. ³¹ And thou shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place. ³² And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the tent of meeting. ³³ And they shall eat those things with which atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them, but a stranger shall not eat of it, because they are holy. ³⁴ And if any of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remains to the morning, then thou shall burn the remainder with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is holy. ³⁵ And thus thou shall do to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded thee. Seven days thou shall consecrate them. ³⁶ And every day thou shall offer the bullock of sin offering for atonement. And thou shall cleanse the altar when thou make atonement for it, and thou shall anoint it, to sanctify it. ³⁷ Seven days thou shall make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it. And the altar shall be most holy. Whatever touches the altar shall be holy. ³⁸ Now this is that which thou shall offer upon the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually. ³⁹ The one lamb thou shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb thou shall offer at evening. ⁴⁰ And with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering. ⁴¹ And the other lamb thou shall offer at evening, and shall do thereto according to the meal offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering of it, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to LORD. ⁴² It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tent of meeting before LORD, where I will meet with you, to speak to thee there. ⁴³ And there I will meet with the sons of Israel, and the tent shall be sanctified by my glory. ⁴⁴ And I will sanctify the tent of meeting, and the altar. I will also sanctify Aaron and his sons to minister to me in the priest's office. ⁴⁵ And I will dwell among the sons of Israel, and will be their God. ⁴⁶ And they shall know that I am LORD their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them. I am LORD their God.

⁷ And he put upon him the tunic, and girded him with the sash, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and bound it to him therewith. ⁸ And he placed the breastplate upon him, and he put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastplate. ⁹ And he set the miter upon his head. And upon the miter, in front, he set the golden plate, the holy crown, as LORD commanded Moses. ¹⁰ And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and sanctified them. ¹¹ And he sprinkled of it upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the laver and its base, to sanctify them. ¹² And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. ¹³ And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and clothed them with tunics, and girded them with sashes, and bound head-coverings upon them, as LORD commanded Moses. ¹⁴ And he brought the bullock of the sin offering. And Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock of the sin offering, ¹⁵ and he killed it. And Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it. ¹⁶ And he took all the fat that was upon the innards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar. ¹⁷ But the bullock, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, he burnt with fire outside the camp, as LORD commanded Moses. ¹⁸ And he presented the ram of the burnt offering. And Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram, ¹⁹ and he killed it. And Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. ²⁰ And he cut the ram into its pieces, and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat. ²¹ And he washed the innards and the legs with water. And Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar. It was a burnt offering for a sweet savor. It was an offering made by fire to LORD, as LORD commanded Moses. ²² And he presented the other ram, the ram of consecration. And Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram, ²³ and he killed it. And Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. ²⁴ And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot. And Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. ²⁵ And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was upon the innards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right thigh, ²⁶ and out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat, and upon the right thigh. ²⁷ And he put the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and waved them for a wave offering before LORD. ²⁸ And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering. They were a consecration for a sweet savor. It was an offering made by fire to LORD. ²⁹ And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before LORD. It was Moses' portion of the ram of consecration, as LORD commanded Moses. ³⁰ And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with him, and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him. ³¹ And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tent of meeting, and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of consecration, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it. ³² And that which remains of the flesh and of the bread ye shall burn with fire. ³³ And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting seven days, until the days of your consecration be fulfilled, for he shall consecrate you seven days. ³⁴ As has been done this day, so LORD has commanded to do, to make atonement for you. ³⁵ And ye shall remain at the door of the tent of meeting day and night seven days, and keep the charge of LORD, that ye not die, for so I am commanded. ³⁶ And Aaron and his sons did all the things which LORD commanded by Moses.

⁵ And he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, In the morning LORD will show who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to him, even him whom he shall choose will he cause to come near to him. ⁶ This do: Take you censers, Korah, and all his company, ⁷ and put fire in them, and put incense upon them before LORD tomorrow. And it shall be that the man whom LORD chooses, he is holy. Ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi. ⁸ And Moses said to Korah, Hear now, ye sons of Levi. ⁹ Is it a small thing to you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them, ¹⁰ and that he has brought thee near, and all thy brothers the sons of Levi with thee? And ye seek the priesthood also? ¹¹ Therefore thou and all thy company are gathered together against LORD. And Aaron, what is he that ye murmur against him?

⁴⁰ to be a memorial to the sons of Israel, to the end that no stranger, who is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to burn incense before LORD, that he not be as Korah, and as his company, as LORD spoke to him by Moses.

⁴⁷ And Aaron took as Moses spoke, and ran into the midst of the assembly. And, behold, the plague had begun among the people. And he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people. ⁴⁸ And he stood between the dead and the living, and the plague was stopped.

⁵ And it shall come to pass, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud. And I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they murmur against you. ⁶ And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel. And all their rulers gave him rods, for each ruler one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods, and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. ⁷ And Moses laid up the rods before LORD in the tent of the testimony. ⁸ And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony, and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.

⁵ And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did in the midst of it, and afterward I brought you out.

⁶ And Samuel said to the people, It is LORD who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

²⁰ Thou led thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

⁴ For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage. And I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

³⁴ Having looked, I saw the oppression of my people in Egypt, and I heard their groaning, and I came down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt. ³⁵ This Moses whom they refused, having said, Who appointed thee a ruler and a judge? This man God sent, a ruler and a liberator by the hand of the agent who appeared to him in the bush.

¹ And LORD said to Moses, See, I have made thee as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. ² Thou shall speak all that I command thee, and Aaron thy brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land. ³ And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. ⁴ But Pharaoh will not hearken to you. And I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my armies, my people the sons of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. ⁵ And the Egyptians shall know that I am LORD, when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt, and bring out the sons of Israel from among them. ⁶ And Moses and Aaron did so, as LORD commanded them, so they did. ⁷ And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh. ⁸ And LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, ⁹ When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Show a wonder for you, then thou shall say to Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent. ¹⁰ And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh. And they did so, as LORD had commanded, and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent. ¹¹ Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. And they also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their enchantments.

³⁴ Or has God assayed to go and take for him a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

¹⁰ and showed signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land, for thou knew that they dealt proudly against them, and got thee a name, as it is this day. ¹¹ And thou divided the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land. And thou cast their pursuers into the depths as a stone into the mighty waters.

⁴³ how he set his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan, ⁴⁴ and turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink. ⁴⁵ He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them. ⁴⁶ He also gave their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust. ⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost. ⁴⁸ He also gave over their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. ⁴⁹ He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, a band of agents of evil. ⁵⁰ He made a path for his anger. He spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence, ⁵¹ and smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

²³ Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

²⁸ He sent darkness, and made it dark. And they rebelled against his words.

⁸ who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast, ⁹ who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants,

¹¹ Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his holy Spirit in the midst of them, ¹² who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name,

²⁰ who set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and among other men, and made thee a name, as at this day, ²¹ and brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror,

²¹ And LORD said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. ²² And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days, ²³ they did not see each other, neither did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.

⁷ He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.

⁴ And the sons are impudent and stiff hearted. I send thee to them, and thou shall say to them, Thus says the lord LORD. ⁵ And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear (for they are a rebellious house), yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them. ⁶ And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with thee, and thou dwell among scorpions. Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house. ⁷ And thou shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, for they are most rebellious. ⁸ But thou, son of man, hear what I say to thee. Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house. Open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.

² a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spreads upon the mountains, a great people and a strong, there has not ever been the like, nor shall be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.

³¹ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and wonderful day of LORD comes.

⁴⁴ And it was about the sixth hour, and darkness occurred over the whole land until the ninth hour. ⁴⁵ And the sun was darkened, and the curtain of the temple was torn in the middle.

⁴ For if God did not spare agents who sinned, but delivered them up to chains of darkness, having been cast into hell being reserved for judgment,

¹⁷ These men are waterless wells, and clouds driven by a fierce wind, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved into an age.

²⁰ And Moses and Aaron did so, as 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. ²¹ And the fish that were in the river died, and the river became foul, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river. And the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁴ and turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.

² Why, when I came, was there no man? When I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness. Their fish stink because there is no water, and die for thirst.

⁴ And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick to thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, with all the fish of thy rivers which stick to thy scales. ⁵ And I will cast thee forth into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers. Thou shall fall upon the open field. Thou shall not be brought together, nor gathered. I have given thee for food to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the heavens.

³ And the second agent poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood like of a dead man, and every living soul in the sea died.

³ And the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into thy 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 kneading-troughs. ⁴ And the frogs shall come up both upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. ⁵ And LORD said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch forth thy hand with thy rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. ⁶ And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. ⁷ And the magicians did in like manner with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt. ⁸ Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat LORD, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people, and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to LORD. ⁹ And Moses said to Pharaoh, Have this honor over me: When shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, that the frogs be destroyed from thee and thy houses, and remain in the river only? ¹⁰ And he said, Tomorrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word, that thou may know that there is none like LORD our God. 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. ¹² And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh. And Moses cried to LORD concerning the frogs which he had brought upon Pharaoh. ¹³ And LORD did according to the word of Moses. And the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields. ¹⁴ And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.

⁴⁵ He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.

¹³ And I saw out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. ¹⁴ For they are spirits of demons, doing signs that go forth to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together to the battle of that great day of the Almighty God.

¹⁶ And LORD said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt. ¹⁷ And they did so. And Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth. And there were lice upon man, and upon beast; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. ¹⁸ And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. And there were lice upon man, and upon beast.

²¹ Else, if thou will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon they 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 on which they are. ²² And in that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, to the end thou may know that I am LORD in the midst of the earth. ²³ And I will put a division between my people and thy people. This sign shall be by tomorrow. ²⁴ And LORD did so, and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses. And in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted because of the swarms of flies.

¹⁸ And it shall come to pass in that day, that LORD will whistle for the fly that is in the outermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

¹⁸ Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now. ¹⁹ Now therefore send, hasten in thy cattle and all that thou have in the field, for every man and beast that shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die. ²⁰ He who feared the word of LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses. ²¹ And he who did not regard the word of LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field. ²² And LORD said to Moses, Stretch forth thy hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt. ²³ And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven, and LORD sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth, and LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt. ²⁴ So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. ²⁵ And throughout all the land of Egypt the hail smote all that was in the field, both man and beast, and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field. ²⁶ Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, was there no hail. ²⁷ And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time. LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked. ²⁸ Entreat LORD, for there has been enough of these mighty thunderings and hail, and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.

⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost. ⁴⁸ He also gave over their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

⁷ And the first sounded, and there occurred hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth. And the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

¹⁹ And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord was seen in his temple. And there occurred lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and great hail.

²¹ And great hail, like a talent weight, descended out of the sky upon men. And the men blasphemed God from the plague of the hail, because the plague of it was exceedingly great.

⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost.

⁴ And it was told them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor anything green, nor any tree, except the men who have not the seal of God on their foreheads.

¹² And LORD said to Moses, Stretch out thy 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 has left. ¹³ And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all the night, and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. ¹⁴ And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt, very grievous were they, before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. ¹⁵ For they covered the face of the whole ground, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. And there remained not any green thing, either tree nor herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁶ He also gave their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.

⁴ That which the palmer-worm has left the locust has eaten, and that which the locust has left the canker-worm has eaten, and that which the canker-worm has left the caterpillar has eaten. ⁵ Awake, ye drunkards, and weep, and wail, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine, for it is cut off from your mouth. ⁶ For a nation has come up upon my land, strong, and without number. His teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the jaw-teeth of a lioness. ⁷ He has laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree. He has made it clean bare, and cast it away. The branches of it are made white.

²⁵ And I will restore to you the years that the locust, the canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm has eaten-my great army which I sent among you.

³ And locusts came forth out of the smoke upon the earth, and power was given to them, like the scorpions of the earth have power. ⁴ And it was told them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor anything green, nor any tree, except the men who have not the seal of God on their foreheads. ⁵ And it was given them that they would not kill them, but that they would be tormented five months. And their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. ⁶ And in those days men will seek death, and will, no, not find it. And they will long to die, and death will flee from them. ⁷ And the likeness of the locusts was similar to horses prepared for battle. And upon their heads were like golden crowns, and their faces were as men's faces. ⁸ And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were as of lions. ⁹ And they had breastplates like iron breastplates. And the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots of many horses running into battle. ¹⁰ And they have tails similar to scorpions, and stings. And in their tails they have power to hurt men five months.

³ Reuben, thou are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the pre-eminence of dignity, and the pre-eminence of power.

²³ and I have said to thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me, and thou have refused to let him go. Behold, I will slay thy son, thy firstborn.

⁴ And Moses said, Thus says LORD, About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt, ⁵ and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits upon his throne, even to the firstborn of the maid-servant that is behind the mill, and all the firstborn of cattle.

¹² For I will go through the land of Egypt in that 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 judgments. I am LORD.

²⁹ And it came to pass at midnight, that LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle. 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.

⁸ who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast,

¹⁰ to him who smote Egypt in their firstborn, for his loving kindness is forever,

²⁸ By faith he performed the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who was destroying the firstborn would not touch them.

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

²² But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who sojourns 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 despoil the Egyptians.

³⁵ And the sons of Israel did according to the word of Moses, and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment. ³⁶ And LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. And they despoiled the Egyptians.

⁷ And Pharaoh's servants said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve LORD their God. Do thou not yet know that Egypt is destroyed?

³³ And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, We are all dead men.

¹⁶ Terror and dread falls upon them. By the greatness of thine arm they are as still as a stone, till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over whom thou have purchased.

⁹ And she said to the men, I know that LORD has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us. And that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.

²¹ And LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, that they might go by day and by night. ²² The pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night departed not from before the people.

²⁴ And it came to pass in the morning watch, that LORD looked forth upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and troubled the army of the Egyptians.

¹⁵ And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony, and at evening it was upon the tabernacle, as it were the appearance of fire, until morning. ¹⁶ So it was always: the cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night. ¹⁷ And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tent, then after that the sons of Israel journeyed. And in the place where the cloud abode, there the sons of Israel encamped. ¹⁸ At the commandment of LORD the sons of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of LORD they encamped. As long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they remained encamped. ¹⁹ And when the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle many days, then the sons of Israel kept the charge of LORD, and did not journey. ²⁰ And sometimes the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle, then according to the commandment of LORD they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of LORD they journeyed. ²¹ And sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning, and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they journeyed, or if by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. ²² Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, abiding on it, the sons of Israel remained encamped, and did not journey, but when it was taken up, they journeyed.

¹² Moreover in a pillar of cloud thou led them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light in the way in which they should go.

¹⁹ yet thou in thy manifold mercies did not forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud did not depart from over them by day to lead them in the way, neither the pillar of fire by night to show them light, and the way in which they should go.

¹⁴ In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

⁵ And LORD will create over the whole habitation of mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night, for over all the glory, a covering.

¹ But I want you not to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, ² and all in Moses were immersed in the cloud and in the sea.

¹² I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel. Speak to them, saying, At evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread. And ye shall know that I am LORD your God. ¹³ And it came to pass at evening, that the quails came up, and covered the camp. And in the morning the dew lay round about the camp, ¹⁴ and when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, small as the hoarfrost on the ground. ¹⁵ And when the sons of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is it? For they knew not what it was. And Moses said to them, It is the bread which LORD has given you to eat. ¹⁶ This is the thing which LORD has commanded, Gather ye of it every man according to his eating, an omer a head. According to the number of your persons, ye shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent. ¹⁷ And the sons of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less. ¹⁸ And when they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating. ¹⁹ And Moses said to them, Let no man leave of it till the morning. ²⁰ Notwithstanding they did not hearken to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul, and Moses was angry with them. ²¹ And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating. And when the sun grew hot, it melted. ²² And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. ²³ And he said to them, This is that which LORD has spoken, Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath to LORD. Bake that which ye will bake, and boil that which ye will boil, and all that remains over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. ²⁴ And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade, and it did not become foul, neither was there any worm in it. ²⁵ And Moses said, Eat that today, for today is a sabbath to LORD. Today ye shall not find it in the field. ²⁶ Six days ye shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the sabbath, there shall be none in it. ²⁷ And it came to pass on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none. ²⁸ And LORD said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws? ²⁹ See, because LORD has given you the sabbath, therefore he gives 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. ³⁰ So the people rested on the seventh day. ³¹ And the house of Israel called the name of it Manna. And it was like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it was like wafers with honey. ³² And Moses said, This is the thing which LORD has commanded. Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt. ³³ And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omerful of manna in it, and lay it up before LORD, to be kept throughout your generations. ³⁴ As LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept. ³⁵ And the sons of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

⁴ And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly. And the sons of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? ⁵ We remember the fish which we ate in Egypt for nothing, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic, ⁶ but now our soul is dried away. There is nothing at all except this manna to look upon. ⁷ And the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance of it as the appearance of bdellium. ⁸ The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it. And the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil. ⁹ And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.

³¹ And there went forth a wind from LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth. ³² And the people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers. And they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp. ³³ While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of LORD was kindled against the people, and LORD smote the people with a very great plague.

³ And he humbled thee, and allowed thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knew not, neither did thy fathers know, that he might make thee know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of LORD.

¹² And the manna ceased on the morrow, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. Neither had the sons of Israel manna any more, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

²⁰ Thou also gave thy good Spirit to instruct them, and did not withhold thy manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst.

¹⁸ And they challenged God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

²³ Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven, ²⁴ and he rained down manna upon them to eat, and gave them food from heaven. ²⁵ Man ate the bread of the mighty. He sent them food to the full. ²⁶ He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens, and by his power he guided the south wind. ²⁷ He also rained flesh upon them as the dust, and winged birds as the sand of the seas. ²⁸ And he let it fall in the midst of their camp round about their habitations.

³¹ Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat. ³² Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven. ³³ For the bread of God is he who comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.

⁴⁸ I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. ⁵⁰ This is the bread that comes down out of heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread, having come down out of heaven. If any man eats of this bread, he will live into the age. And also, the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. ⁵² The Jews therefore contended with each other, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ⁵³ Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves. ⁵⁴ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is truly food, and my blood is truly drink. ⁵⁶ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, also he who eats me, that man will also live because of me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread that came down out of heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live into the age.

⁶ Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb, and thou shall 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.

¹¹ And Moses lifted up his hand, and smote the rock with his rod twice, and water came forth abundantly. And the congregation drank, and their cattle.

¹⁵ And thou gave them bread from heaven for their hunger, and brought forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and commanded them that they should go in to possess the land which thou had sworn to give them.

¹⁵ He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths. ¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?

⁸ who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

²¹ And they did not thirst when he led them through the deserts. He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them. He also split the rock, and the waters gushed out.

⁴ and they all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them. And the rock was the Christ.

¹⁴ And LORD said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou are, northward and southward and eastward and westward. ¹⁵ For all the land which thou see, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed forever. ¹⁶ And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth. So that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then may thy seed also be numbered. ¹⁷ Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it, for to thee I will give it.

¹³ And he said to Abram, Know of a certainty that thy seed shall be sojourners in a land that is not theirs. And shall serve them, and they shall afflict them four hundred years. ¹⁴ And also I will judge that nation, whom they shall serve, and afterward they shall come out with great substance.

²⁴ And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

¹³ Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swore by thine own self, and said to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven. And all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.

⁵ Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, do thou go in to possess their land, but for the wickedness of these nations LORD thy God drives them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which LORD swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

²⁷ Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their profaneness, nor to their sin,

⁸ He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, ⁹ which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac, ¹⁰ and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant, ¹¹ saying, To thee I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,

²⁰ Thou will perform the truth to Jacob, and the loving kindness to Abraham, which thou have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

⁵⁴ He helped his boy Israel to be reminded of mercy, ⁵⁵ just as he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and his seed into the age.

⁷² to do mercy with our fathers, and his holy covenant to be remembered, ⁷³ the oath that he swore to Abraham our father, to give to us,

¹ Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to LORD, and spoke, saying, I will sing to LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea. ² LORD is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him. ³ LORD is a man of war. LORD is his name. ⁴ Pharaoh's chariots and his army he has cast into the sea, and his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea. ⁵ The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone. ⁶ Thy right hand, O LORD, is glorious in power. Thy right hand, O LORD, dashes the enemy in pieces. ⁷ And in the greatness of thine excellency thou overthrow those who rise up against thee. Thou send forth thy wrath, it consumes them as stubble. ⁸ And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were piled up. The floods stood up as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea. ⁹ The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil, my desire shall be satisfied upon them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. ¹⁰ Thou did blow with thy wind, the sea covered them. They sank as lead in the mighty waters. ¹¹ Who is like thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? ¹² Thou stretched out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. ¹³ Thou in thy loving kindness have led the people that thou have redeemed. Thou have guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation. ¹⁴ The peoples have heard, they tremble. Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia. ¹⁵ Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed, the mighty men of Moab. Trembling takes hold upon them. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away. ¹⁶ Terror and dread falls upon them. By the greatness of thine arm they are as still as a stone, till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over whom thou have purchased. ¹⁷ Thou will bring them in, and plant them on the mountain of thine inheritance, the place, O LORD, which thou have made for thee to dwell in, the sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established. ¹⁸ LORD shall reign forever and ever. ¹⁹ For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and LORD brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the sons of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea. 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. ²¹ And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

³⁷ And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt, ³⁸ to drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as at this day.

⁵² But he led forth his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. ⁵³ And he led them safely, so that they feared not, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁸ Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known. ⁹ He also rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up. So he led them through the depths as through a wilderness. ¹⁰ And he saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. ¹¹ And the waters covered their adversaries; there was not one of them left. ¹² Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.

¹⁰ And the ransomed of LORD shall return, and come with singing to Zion. And everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy. And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

¹⁰ Is it not thou who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over? ¹¹ And the ransomed of LORD shall return, and come with singing to Zion, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

¹² For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace. The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands.

¹¹ Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his holy Spirit in the midst of them, ¹² who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name, ¹³ who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they stumbled not? ¹⁴ As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of LORD caused them to rest. So thou led thy people to make thyself a glorious name.

¹¹ For LORD has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he. ¹² And they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow to the goodness of LORD, to the grain, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd. And their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

³⁶ This man brought them forth after performing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

¹⁰ And it shall be, when LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land which he swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee, great and goodly cities, which thou did not build, ¹¹ and houses full of all good things, which thou did not fill, and cisterns hewn out, which thou did not hew, vineyards and olive trees, which thou did not plant, and thou shall eat and be full,

¹¹ And they ate of the produce of the land on the morrow after the Passover, unleavened cakes and parched grain, in the selfsame day.

²³ So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that LORD spoke to Moses. And Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.

⁷ Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. ⁸ With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of LORD gave them: ⁹ from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon; ¹⁰ and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the sons of Ammon; ¹¹ and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah; ¹² all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (the same was left of the remnant of the Rephaim), for these Moses smote, and drove them out. ¹³ Nevertheless the sons of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites, but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day. ¹⁴ Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance. The offerings of LORD, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance as he spoke to him. ¹⁵ And Moses gave to the tribe of the sons of Reuben according to their families. ¹⁶ And their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba; ¹⁷ Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon, ¹⁸ and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, ¹⁹ and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the mount of the valley, ²⁰ and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth, ²¹ and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the rulers of Sihon who dwelt in the land. ²² The sons of Israel also killed Balaam the son of Beor, the diviner, with the sword among the rest of their slain. ²³ And the border of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan, and the border of it. This was the inheritance of the sons of Reuben according to their families, the cities and the villages of it. ²⁴ And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad, according to their families. ²⁵ And their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon, to Aroer that is before Rabbah, ²⁶ and from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir, ²⁷ and in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and the border of it, to the outermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward. ²⁸ This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad according to their families, the cities and the villages of it. ²⁹ And Moses gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh, and it was for the half-tribe of the sons of Manasseh according to their families. ³⁰ And their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities. ³¹ And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the sons of Machir according to their families. ³² These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward. ³³ But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance. LORD, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spoke to them.

⁴³ So LORD gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers, and they possessed it, and dwelt in it.

⁴ Behold, I have allotted to you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea toward the going down of the sun.

⁸ And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan. And they fought with you. And I gave them into your hand, and ye possessed their land, and I destroyed them from before you.

¹³ And I gave you a land in which thou had not labored, and cities which ye did not build, and ye dwell in it. Ye eat of vineyards and oliveyards which ye did not plant.

²² Moreover thou gave them kingdoms and peoples, which thou allotted after their portions. So they possessed the land of Sihon, even the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan. ²³ Their sons thou also multiplied as the stars of heaven, and brought them into the land concerning which thou said to their fathers that they should go in to possess it. ²⁴ So the sons went in and possessed the land. And thou subdued the inhabitants of the land before them, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands, with their kings, and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they would. ²⁵ And they took fortified cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all good things, cisterns hewn out, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.

² Thou drove out the nations with thy hand, but thou planted them. Thou afflicted the peoples, but thou spread them abroad. ³ For they did not get the land in possession by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them, but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou were favorable to them.

⁸ Thou brought a vine out of Egypt. Thou drove out the nations, and planted it.

¹⁰ who smote many nations, and killed mighty kings- ¹¹ Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan- ¹² and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel his people.

²¹ and gave their land for a heritage, for his loving kindness is forever, ²² even a heritage to Israel his servant, for his loving kindness is forever,

¹ And now, O Israel, hearken to the statutes and to the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which LORD, the God of your fathers, gives you.

⁴⁰ And thou shall keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy sons after thee, and that thou may prolong thy days in the land, which LORD thy God gives thee, forever.

³³ Ye shall walk in all the way which LORD your God has commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.

²¹ Then thou shall say to thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt, and LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. ²² And LORD showed signs and wonders, great and grievous, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, before our eyes. ²³ And he brought us out from there that he might bring us in to give us the land which he swore to our fathers. ²⁴ And LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear LORD our God for our good always, that he might preserve us alive as at this day. ²⁵ And it shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before LORD our God as he has commanded us.

¹ Praise ye LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary. Praise him in the firmament of his power.
