¹⁶ Jehovah, they visited You in distress; they poured out a whisper; Your chastening was to them.

²⁴ And answering Simon said, You petition to the Lord for me, so that nothing of which you have spoken may come on me.

³⁰ But I exhort you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf,

¹⁰ who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we have hope that He will still deliver us,

⁹ And Moses said to Pharaoh, Glory over me. For when shall I pray for you and for your servants and for your people, to cut off the frogs from you, and from your house, that they may be left only in the river?

²⁸ And Pharaoh said, I will send you away, and you may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only do not go very far off. Pray for me. ²⁹ And Moses said, Behold, I am about to go out from you, and to pray to Jehovah. And the swarms of flies will depart from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people tomorrow. But do not let Pharaoh continue to deceive, not to send the people to sacrifice to Jehovah. ³⁰ And Moses went out from Pharaoh. And he prayed to Jehovah.

⁴⁴ but I say to you, Love your enemies; bless those cursing you, do well to those hating you; and pray for those abusing and persecuting you,

²⁸ bless those cursing you and pray for those insulting you.

¹⁸ But God made the people turn toward the way of the wilderness, to the Sea of Reeds. And the sons of Israel went up armed from the land of Egypt.

⁴ He has cast Pharaoh's chariots and his army in the sea; and the choice ones of his officers are drowned in the Sea of Reeds,

²⁰ But I will remove the northern army far from you, and I will drive him into a dry and desolated land with his face toward the eastern sea, and his rear toward the western sea. And his stench shall come up, and his ill odor shall come up, because he was doing great things.

²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red Sea, as through dry land; by which attempt the Egyptians taking, they were swallowed up.

¹² And Jehovah hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not listen to them, as Jehovah had said to Moses.

¹⁰ And Moses and Aaron did all these miracles before Pharaoh. And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not send away the sons of Israel from his land.

³⁰ And Sihon the king of Heshbon was not willing to let us pass by him, for Jehovah your God had hardened his spirit, and had emboldened his heart, so as to give him into your hand, as it is this day.

⁹ And He said, Go and tell this people, Hearing you hear, but do not understand; and seeing you see, but do not know. ¹⁰ Make the heart of this people fat, and make his ears heavy, and shut his eyes, that he not see with his eyes, and hear with his ears, and understand with his heart, and turn back, and one heals him.

³⁹ Because of this they could not believe, because Isaiah said again, ⁴⁰ "He has blinded their eyes" and "has hardened their heart," "that they might not see with the eyes" and "understand with the heart," "and be converted," "and I should heal them." Isa. 6:10

¹⁸ So, then, to whom He desires, He shows mercy. And to whom He desires, He hardens.

¹¹ And because of this, God will send to them a working of error, for them to believe the lie, ¹² that all may be judged, those not believing the truth, but who have delighted in unrighteousness.

²² And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out your hand to the heavens, so that hail may be in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on livestock, and on every plant of the field in the land of Egypt.

²⁹ And you shall grope at noonday as the blind grope in darkness. And you shall not prosper in your ways. And you shall be always oppressed and plundered all the days; and there will be no one to save.

⁶ Let their way be dark and slippery, and the Angel of Jehovah their pursuer.

⁴⁹ He sent the heat of His anger on them, fury and indignation and distress, a sending of angels of evils.

²⁸ He sent darkness and made it dark; and they did not rebel against His word.

¹⁹ The way of the wicked is as darkness; they do not know at what they stumble.

¹⁴ The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walks in darkness; and I also know that one event happens with all of them.

⁴ For he comes in with vanity, and goes out in darkness; his name shall be covered in darkness.

²¹ And they shall pass through it, hard pressed and hungry. And it shall be, they shall be hungry; he will rave and curse his king and his God, and face upward. ²² And they shall look to the land. And, behold, trouble and darkness and gloom of anguish; and they are driven to darkness.

⁴⁵ And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

³³ And it being the sixth hour, darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁴ And it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

⁴ For if God did not spare sinning angels, but delivered them to chains of darkness, thrust down into Tartarus, having been kept to judgment;

¹⁷ These are springs without water, clouds being driven by tempest, for whom the blackness of darkness is kept forever.

⁶ And those angels not having kept their first place, but having deserted their dwelling-place, He has kept in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of a great Day;

¹³ wild waves of the sea foaming up their shames, wandering stars for whom blackness of darkness has been kept forever.

¹⁰ And the fifth angel poured out his bowl onto the throne of the beast. And its kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues from the pain. ¹¹ And they blasphemed the God of Heaven, from their pains and from their sores. And they did not repent of their works.

²¹ And the people stood from a distance, and Moses went near the thick darkness where God was .

¹¹ And you drew near and stood below the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of the heavens, darkness, cloud and thick gloom.

²² Jehovah spoke these words to all your assembly on the Mount, out of the midst of the fire of the cloud and out of the thick darkness with a great voice. And He added no more; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone, and gave them to me.

³¹ The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of Jehovah.

¹³ For, behold, He who forms mountains and creates the wind and declares to man what His thought is, He who makes the dawn darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth, Jehovah, the God of Hosts, is His name.

¹⁰ And the fifth angel poured out his bowl onto the throne of the beast. And its kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues from the pain.

²² And in that day I will separate the land of Goshen with My people resting on it, that there be no swarms of flies, so that you may know that I am Jehovah in the midst of the earth.

⁴ And Jehovah will make a distinction between Israel's livestock and Egypt's livestock. Also of all that belongs to the sons of Israel, not a thing will die.

²⁶ Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel lived, there was no hail.

²⁰ And it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. And it was cloudy and dark. And it gave light to the night; and this one did not come near to that one all night.

⁷ And they cried to Jehovah, and He set thick darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea on them, and covered them. And your eyes saw that which I have done in Egypt. And you lived in the wilderness many days.

¹⁶ And I will lead the blind by a way they knew not; I will lead them in paths they never knew; I will make darkness into light before them, and crooked places a level place. I do these things to them and do not forsake them;

¹ Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of Jehovah has risen on you! ² For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples. But Jehovah shall rise on you, and His glory shall be seen on you. ³ And nations shall walk to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawning.

¹³ So the Lord Jehovah says this: Behold, My servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry. Behold, My servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty. Behold, My servants shall rejoice, but you shall be ashamed. ¹⁴ Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry from heartbreak, and howl from breaking of spirit.

¹⁸ Then you shall again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who does not serve Him.

¹³ who delivered us out of the authority of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

⁹ But you are "an elect race," "a royal priesthood," "a holy nation," "a people for possession," so that "you may openly speak of the virtues" of the One who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; LXX-Ex. 23:22; MT-Ex. 19:5, 6

²³ Shall not their livestock, and their property, and all their beasts of burden be ours? Only let us consent to them, and let them live with us.

²⁸ And Pharaoh said, I will send you away, and you may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only do not go very far off. Pray for me.

⁸ And Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. And he said to them, Go, serve Jehovah your God. Who and who are the ones going? ⁹ And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters. We will go with our flocks and with our herds. For it is a feast of Jehovah to us. ¹⁰ And he said to them, May Jehovah be so with you, as I send you away, and your little ones. Watch! For evil is before your face!

¹ And this is the thing which you shall do to them, to sanctify them to minister as priests to Me: take one bullock, the son of the herd, and two perfect rams, ² and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes poured over with oil, and unleavened waters anointed with oil; you shall make them of fine wheat flour. ³ And you shall put them into one basket and shall bring them near in the basket, and the bullock and the two rams. ⁴ And you shall take Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of congregation. And you shall wash them in water. ⁵ And you shall take the garments, and you shall clothe Aaron with the tunic, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breast pocket. And you shall bind it to him with the band of the ephod. ⁶ And you shall put the miter on his head; and you shall put the holy crown on the miter. ⁷ And you shall take the oil of anointing and shall pour on his head, and shall anoint him. ⁸ And you shall take his sons and clothe them with tunics. ⁹ And you shall gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons; and you shall bind on bonnets for them; and it shall be a never ending statute for them in the priest's office. And you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons. ¹⁰ And you shall bring near the bullock before the tabernacle of the congregation. And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on he head of the bullock. ¹¹ And you shall slaughter the bullock before the face of Jehovah, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. ¹² And you shall take of the bullock's blood and shall put it on the horns of the altar with your finger. And you shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar. ¹³ And you shall take all the fat that covers the inward parts, and the lobe on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat on them, and you shall burn on the altar. ¹⁴ And you shall burn the flesh of the bullock, and its skin, and its dung, with fire outside the camp; it is a sin offering. ¹⁵ And you shall take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram. ¹⁶ And you shall slaughter the ram, and you shall take its blood and shall sprinkle it on the altar all around. ¹⁷ And you shall cut the ram into pieces; and you shall wash its inward parts, and its legs, and shall place them on its pieces and on its head. ¹⁸ And you shall burn all the ram on the altar; it is a burnt offering to Jehovah, a soothing fragrance; it is a fire offering to Jehovah. ¹⁹ And you shall take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram. ²⁰ And you shall slaughter the ram; and you shall take of its blood and shall put it on the tip of Aaron's ear, and on the tip of the ear his sons, and on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot; and you shall sprinkle the blood on the altar all around. ²¹ And you shall take of the blood on the altar, and the oil of anointing, and you shall sprinkle on Aaron and on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons' garments with him. ²² And you shall take the fat from the ram, and the fat tail, and the fat that covers the inward parts, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat on them, and the right leg; for it is a ram of consecration; ²³ also one loaf of bread, and one cake of oil bread, and one wafer, from the basket of unleavened bread which is before the face of Jehovah. ²⁴ And you shall put all on the palms of Aaron and on the palms of his sons. And you shall wave them a wave offering before the face of Jehovah. ²⁵ And you shall take them from their hands, and you shall burn the burnt offering on the altar for a soothing fragrance before the face of Jehovah; it is a fire offering to Jehovah. ²⁶ And you shall take the breast from the ram of consecration which is on Aaron. And you shall wave it a wave offering before the face of Jehovah; it shall be your portion. ²⁷ And you shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the thigh of the heave offering, which is waved and which is lifted from the ram of consecration, from what is Aaron's, and from what is to his sons. ²⁸ And it shall be for Aaron and for his sons for a never ending statute from the sons of Israel; it is for a heave offering, and it shall be a heave offering from the sons of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, their heave offering to Jehovah. ²⁹ And the holy garments which are Aaron's shall be his sons' after him, for anointing in them and for filling their hands in them. ³⁰ The priest shall put them on seven days, the one from his sons taking his place; the one who comes into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the sanctuary. ³¹ And you shall take the ram of consecration, and you shall boil its flesh in a sanctuary. ³² And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread which is in the basket at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. ³³ And they shall eat those things by which atonement is made to consecrate them, to sanctify them; and a stranger shall not eat, for they are holy. ³⁴ And if any is left of the flesh of consecration, and of the bread, until the morning, you shall burn what is left with fire; it shall not be eaten, for it is holy. ³⁵ And so you shall do to Aaron and to his sons, according to all which I have commanded you; you shall consecrate them seven days. ³⁶ And you shall offer a bull of a sin offering daily for atonement; and you shall purify the altar in your making atonement for it; and you shall anoint it to sanctity it. ³⁷ You shall make atonement seven days for the altar, and shall sanctity it; and the altar shall become most holy, all touching the altar becomes holy. ³⁸ And this is what you shall offer on the altar: two lambs daily, sons of a year, continually. ³⁹ The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the second lamb you shall offer between the evenings. ⁴⁰ And a tenth of fine flour anointed with beaten oil. a fourth of a hin, and a drink offering, a fourth of a hin of wine, for the one lamb. ⁴¹ And you shall offer the second lamb between the evenings; you shall do to it like the morning food offering and its drink offering, for a soothing fragrance, a fire offering to Jehovah. ⁴² This shall be a continual burnt offering to your generations, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the face of Jehovah; there where I meet you to speak to you there. ⁴³ And I will meet the sons of Israel here and it shall be sanctified by My glory. ⁴⁴ And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar. And I will sanctify Aaron and his sons to minister as priests to Me. ⁴⁵ And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel; and I will be God to them. ⁴⁶ And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God, who brought them out from the land of Egypt, that I may dwell in their midst. I am Jehovah their God.

¹ And Bezaleel and Aholiab shall work with everyone wise of heart to whom Jehovah has given wisdom and intelligence, to know how to do every work of the service of the sanctuary, concerning all which Jehovah had commanded. ² And Moses called to Bezaleel, and to Aholiab, and to everyone wise of heart, to whom Jehovah had given a heart of wisdom, everyone whose heart had lifted him up to come near the work, to do it. ³ And they took every offering before Moses which the sons of Israel had brought for the work of the service in the holy place, to do it. And they brought to him still more willing offerings morning by morning. ⁴ And all the wise men came, those doing every kind of work for the sanctuary, each one from his work they were doing. ⁵ And they spoke to Moses, saying, The people are bringing more than enough for the service of the work that Jehovah commanded, to do it. ⁶ And Moses commanded, and they caused it to be voiced in the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more offering for the sanctuary; and the people were held back from bringing. ⁷ And their property was sufficient for all the work, to do it, and it was too much. ⁸ And every wise-hearted one among the doers of the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains, twined, bleached linen, and blue, and purple, and crimson; he made them with cherubs, the work of an artisan. ⁹ The length of one curtain was twenty eight by the cubit; and the width was four by the cubit; the one curtain was the same measure for all the curtains. ¹⁰ And he joined five curtains one to another; and he joined five curtains one to another. ¹¹ And he made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, from the end to the juncture; so he did at the edge of the last curtain at the second juncture. ¹² He made fifty loops on one curtain; and he made fifty loops on the end of the curtain which was at the second juncture; the loops corresponded, one with another. ¹³ And he made fifty hooks of gold; and he joined the curtains by the hooks, one to another. And the tabernacle became one. ¹⁴ And he made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made them eleven curtains. ¹⁵ The length of the one curtain was thirty by the cubit, and four cubits the width of the one curtain; one measure to the eleven curtains. ¹⁶ And he joined the five curtains separately, and the six curtains separately. ¹⁷ And he made fifty loops on the edge of the last curtain at the juncture; and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that joined the second. ¹⁸ And he made fifty bronze hooks to join the tent, to unite it in one. ¹⁹ And he made a cover for the tent of rams' skins dyed red; and a cover of dugong skins from above. ²⁰ And he made the boards for the tabernacle, standing planks of acacia wood. ²¹ The length of the board was ten cubits, and a cubit and a half was the width of the one board. ²² The one board was connected by two pins, one to another; so he did to all the boards of the tabernacle. ²³ And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward. ²⁴ And he made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under the one board for its two pins. ²⁵ And for the second side of the tabernacle, to the north side, he made twenty boards, ²⁶ and their forty silver sockets; two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under the other board. ²⁷ And he made six boards for the sides of the tabernacle westward. ²⁸ And he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle, in the sides. ²⁹ And they were double from below, and in like manner they were complete to its top, to the first ring. So he did to both of them, for the two corners. ³⁰ And there were eight boards, and their silver sockets, sixteen sockets; two sockets and two sockets under the one board. ³¹ And he made bars of acacia wood; five to the boards of the second side of the tabernacle; ³² and five bars to the boards of the sides of the tabernacle westward. ³³ And he made the middle bar to go through the middle of the boards, from end to end. ³⁴ And he overlaid the boards with gold. And he made the rings gold, housing for the poles; and he overlaid the bars with gold. ³⁵ And he made a veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and twined, bleached linen . He made it the work of an artisan, with cherubs ³⁶ And he made four pillars of acacia for it. And he overlaid them with gold, their hooks gold; and he cast four sockets of silver for them. ³⁷ And he made a screen for the door of the tabernacle, blue, and purple, and crimson, and twined, bleached linen, the work of an embroiderer; ³⁸ and its five pillars, and their hooks; and the overlaid their tops and their bands with gold; and their five sockets bronze.

²² And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them, and came down from offering the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.

⁹ And Aaron shall bring the goat on which the lot of Jehovah fell and shall make it a sin offering.

³² Take both your flocks and your herds, as you said, and go. And bless me also.

¹⁸ And her goods and her wages shall be holiness to Jehovah; it shall not be hoarded nor stored; for her goods shall be for those who dwell before Jehovah, to eat enough, and for a choice covering.

⁵ Then you shall fear and be bright; and your heart shall dread and swell. For the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you; the wealth of nations shall come to you. ⁶ A host of camels shall cover you, young camels of Midian and Ephah. All of them shall come from Sheba, they shall carry gold and incense; and they shall proclaim the praises of Jehovah. ⁷ All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you; rams of Nebaioth shall serve you; they shall come up for acceptance on My altar; and I will glorify the house of My glory. ⁸ Who are these who fly like a cloud, and with the doves to their windows? ⁹ For the coastlands shall wait for Me, and the ships of Tarshish at the first, to bring your sons from far away, their silver and their gold to them, to the name of Jehovah your God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because He has glorified you. ¹⁰ And the sons of the stranger shall build your walls; and their kings shall serve you. For I struck you in My wrath, but I pitied you in My favor.

⁶ They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah, but they shall not find; He has withdrawn Himself from them.

²⁰ In that day there shall be on the bells of the horses, HOLY TO JEHOVAH. And the pots in the house of Jehovah shall be like the bowls before the altar.

⁴⁴ And all the believers were together and had all things common. ⁴⁵ And they sold possessions and goods and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.

⁵ And not as we hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us through the will of God,

⁸ Having been called out by faith, Abraham obeyed to go forth to a place which he was going to receive for an inheritance; and he went out not understanding where he went.

¹ And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, so that I may set these signs of Mine in their midst;

²⁰ And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not send away the sons of Israel.

⁴ And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue you. And I will be honored through Pharaoh, and through all his armies. And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah. And they did so.

⁸ And Jehovah hardened Pharaoh king of Egypt's heart. And he pursued the sons of Israel. And the sons of Israel were going out with a high hand.

²⁰ And the rest of men, those not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they will not worship demons, and "golden idols, and silver, and bronze, and stone, and wooden idols, which neither are able to see, nor to hear," nor to walk. Dan. 5:23; Psa. 115:4 -7; 135:15-17

¹⁰ And Asa was angry with the seer; and he gave him up to the house of stocks. For he was in a rage with him for this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at that time.

¹⁶ And it happened, as he spoke with him, that he said to him, Have we appointed you a counselor to the king? Stop! Why should they strike you? And the prophet stopped, and said, I know that God has counseled to destroy you because you have done this, and have not listened to my counsel.

¹³ But do not again prophesy at Bethel any more, for it is the king's holy place, and it is the royal house.

⁴ And Moses said, So says Jehovah, About the middle of the night I will go out in the midst of Egypt. ⁵ And every first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh, the one sitting on his throne, to the first-born of the slave-girl who is behind the mill; and every first born of animals. ⁶ And a great cry shall be in all the land of Egypt, such as never has been, and nothing like it shall be again. ⁷ And a dog shall not sharpen his tongue against all the sons of Israel, toward man and toward livestock, so that you may know that Jehovah distinguishes between Egypt and Israel. ⁸ And all these servants of yours will come down to me, and bow to me, saying, Go out, you and all the people at your feet. And afterward I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in the heat of anger.
