¹² The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four. ¹³ The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should be sanctified as most holy, he and his sons for ever, to offer before the LORD, to minister unto Him, and to bless in His name for ever. ¹⁴ But as for Moses the man of God, his sons are named among the tribe of Levi.

¹⁴ But as for Moses the man of God, his sons are named among the tribe of Levi. ¹⁵ The sons of Moses: Gershom, and Eliezer. ¹⁶ The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief. ¹⁷ And the sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

¹⁵ For we are strangers before Thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers were: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding.

¹¹ O Lord, I beseech Thee, let now Thine ear be attentive to the prayer of Thy servant, and to the prayer of Thy servants, who delight to fear Thy name; and prosper, I pray Thee, Thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.' Now I was cupbearer to the king.

⁸ and foundest his heart faithful before Thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, even to give it unto his seed, and hast performed Thy words; for Thou art righteous; ⁹ And Thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red Sea;

⁹ And Thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red Sea;

²⁷ Therefore Thou didst deliver them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them; and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto Thee, Thou heardest from heaven; and according to Thy manifold mercies Thou gavest them saviours who might save them out of the hand of their adversaries. ²⁸ But after they had rest, they did evil again before Thee; therefore didst Thou leave them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them; yet when they returned, and cried unto Thee, many times didst Thou hear from heaven, and deliver them according to Thy mercies;

³² The stranger did not lodge in the street; my doors I opened to the roadside.

²⁷ He cometh before men, and saith: 'I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not.'

¹¹ Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house; and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him; every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.

⁶ For the LORD regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.

² The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His anointed: ³ 'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.' ⁴ He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision. ⁵ Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure: ⁶ 'Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.'

⁹ (9:10) The LORD also will be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble;

⁵ (12:6) 'For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise', saith the LORD; 'I will set him in safety at whom they puff.'

⁶ (18:7) In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God; out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry came before Him unto His ears.

⁵ (22:6) Unto Thee they cried, and escaped; in Thee did they trust, and were not ashamed.

²⁴ (22:25) For He hath not despised nor abhorred the lowliness of the poor; neither hath He hid His face from him; but when he cried unto Him, He heard.'

¹⁰ For though my father and my mother have forsaken me, the LORD will take me up.

¹² (39:13) Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; keep not silence at my tears; for I am a stranger with Thee, a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

¹ (46:1) For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah; upon Alamoth. A Song. (46:2) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

²² (55:23) Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain thee; He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.

¹⁰ (76:11) Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee; the residue of wrath shalt Thou gird upon Thee.

¹¹ Let the groaning of the prisoner come before Thee; according to the greatness of Thy power set free those that are appointed to death;

⁶ (81:7) 'I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were freed from the basket. ⁷ (81:8) Thou didst call in trouble, and I rescued thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah

²⁰ (102:21) To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

⁶ O ye seed of Abraham His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones. ⁷ He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth. ⁸ He hath remembered His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations; ⁹ The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac; ¹⁰ And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant; ¹¹ Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.' ¹² When they were but a few men in number. Yea, very few, and sojourners in it, ¹³ And when they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,

⁴² For He remembered His holy word unto Abraham His servant;

⁴⁵ And He remembered for them His covenant, and repented according to the multitude of His mercies. ⁴⁶ He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captive.

¹⁹ They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses; ²⁰ He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their graves.

⁵ Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.

¹⁹ I am a sojourner in the earth; hide not Thy commandments from me.

³ In the day that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.

¹² The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

¹ The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD as the watercourses: He turneth it whithersoever He will.

³ A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the thoughtless pass on, and are punished.

²⁵ The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be set up on high.

⁷ For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah the plant of His delight; and He looked for justice, but behold violence; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

² That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters! Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and of glossy skin, to a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that is sturdy and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide!

⁶ And the rivers shall become foul; the streams of Egypt shall be minished and dried up; the reeds and flags shall wither.

²⁰ And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and He will send them a saviour, and a defender, who will deliver them.

³ Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that are borne by Me from the birth, that are carried from the womb: ⁴ Even to old age I am the same, and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver.

⁶ Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the fetters of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

²¹ and when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt; ²² and Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt; ²³ and they fetched forth Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the children of the people.

⁸ Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, and, behold, thy time was the time of love, I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness; yea, I swore unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest Mine.

¹⁷ (2:1) And the LORD prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

¹⁰ (2:11) And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

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.

²¹ And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS, for it is he that shall save his people from their sins.

¹³ Now when they were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I tell thee; for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

¹⁶ Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise-men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned of the Wise-men.

¹⁹ But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, ²⁰ Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel; for they are dead that sought the young child's life.

²³ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

²³ But when they persecute you in this city, flee to the other; for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

²⁸ Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

²³ And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

²⁵ Thus hath the Lord done unto me in the days wherein he looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men.

⁷² To show mercy towards, our fathers, And to remember his holy covenant, ⁷³ The oath which he spake unto Abraham our father,

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the broken in heart, To proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,

¹⁴ But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us.

²⁷ But these mine enemies, that would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

⁶ and Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

¹⁹ The same dealt craftily with our race, and ill-treated our fathers, that they should cast out their babes to the end they might not live. ²⁰ At which season Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and he was nourished three months in his father's house: ²¹ and when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.

²¹ and when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son. ²² And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in words and works.

²² And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in words and works. ²³ But when he was well-nigh forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. ²⁴ And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian:

²⁴ And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian: ²⁵ and he supposed that his brethren understood that God by his hand was giving them deliverance, but they understood not. ²⁶ And the day following he appeared unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren, why do ye wrong one to another?

²⁶ And the day following he appeared unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren, why do ye wrong one to another? ²⁷ But he that did his neighbor wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? ²⁸ Wouldest thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday? ²⁹ And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons. ³⁰ And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.

³⁵ This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? him hath God sent to be both a ruler and a deliverer with the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush.

²³ And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not glory to God; and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost. ²⁴ But the word of God grew and multiplied.

⁷ Nay, already it is altogether a defect in you, that ye have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather take wrong? why not rather be defrauded? ⁸ Nay, but ye yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.

⁵ that he might redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

¹¹ Not that I speak in respect of want; for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therein to be content. ¹² I know how to be abased, and I know also how to abound; in everything and in all things have I learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want.

¹⁰ well reported of for good works, if she hath brought up children, if she hath used hospitality to strangers, if she hath washed the saints' feet, if she hath relieved the afflicted, if she hath diligently followed every good work.

⁶ But godliness with contentment is great gain:

¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ For they that say such things make it manifest that they are seeking after a country of their own.

²³ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a goodly child, and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to share ill treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season,

²⁵ choosing rather to share ill treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, ²⁶ accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked unto the recompense of reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

² Forget not to show love unto strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

⁵ Be ye free from the love of money, content with such things as ye have; for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee.

¹⁰ and the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

⁴ Behold, the hire of the laborers who mowed your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth out; and the cries of them that reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

⁸ Finally, be ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, courteous:

¹ Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God. For this cause the world knoweth ye not, because it knew him not.
