'bVbQb W*.^'VU C 1% PREFACE This publication was undertaken with full knowledge of the fact that there were already in existence a wide variety of eminently satisfactory editions of the Holy Scriptures, some of them possessing a degree of merit that would seem to render improvement impossible. In many of these the type is large, clear and delightful to the eye : the mechanical execution everything that could be desired : to some editions has been added the very important feature of diacritical marks and accentuation, rendering the text ' ; self-pronouncing " : while the usual references and concor- dances, supplemented by the countless '•helps" that have been devised and added to several of the most popular is, give the Bible student an incalculable amount of assistance in the proper understanding of the Sacred Word. But all of these editions, superb though they are, lack one important feature, viz : intelligent, helpful illustration. Our present edition amply supplies this deficiency. In it the chief essentials of perfection have been folly retained, the typography, mechanical execution, self-pronouncing features, references, concordance, etc., being unex- celled by any other edition: while the eight hundred original illustrations, introduced directly into the text, and each a sermon in itself, give to our new Bible a distinctive character that entirely separates it from all others. The educational value of truthful, descriptive illustrations can hardly be over-estimated : but it is quite possible to embellish a book by the addition of pictures without truly illustrating the subject matter. Accurate pictures. intelligently conceived and artistically executed, appeal to the mind through the "windows of the soul ", whose portals freely admit a flood of light alike to the illiterate and the learned : for Art speaks in a universal language, intelligible to all nationalities, with no embarrassment of moods and tenses. The advanced spirit of the age requires accuracy in illustrating ; and if this is demanded in miscellaneous litera- ture, it is certainly much more desirable that Biblical illustration should be not only profuse and helpful, but of the highest possible artistic character. It is not too much to say that this edition of the Holy Bible is the first in which the text is faithfully and artistically illustrated in detail from beginning to end. In this work we have had the assistance of nearly one hundred of the most prominent and capable artists of America and Europe, guided by theologians and archaeologists of ability and renown. As a result, the illustrations are historically accurate and breathe the true religious spirit of the texts pictorially portrayed. In short, it may be said that this " illuminated edition " of the Book of Books has been made to meet the great and growing demand for a really illustrated Bible — a demand that could never be met by one containing reproductions of the dozen or more well-known canvases of the great masters, a few of the crude conceptions of a host of lesser artists of past centuries, with perhaps some copies of more or less familiar photographs. Such an edition might be said to be "embellished", but not "illustrated". In this edition the texts are individually treated, with high artistic touch and with full knowledge of the people and places and texts of Scripture as now known and interpreted. That this superb edition will fully meet the demand already noted, admits of no doubt. The advance page3 elicited the warmest endorsement of countless Bible readers, and especially of those learned theologians who most fully appreciate the poverty of religious sentiment and the actual errors in conception that characterize the great majority of Biblical pictures heretofore existing. Sunday-school teachers will find the new Bible of incalculable benefit. Its one peculiar feature — the graphic illustrations — may be depended upon to engage and hold the attention of scholars as nothing else can ever do : pastors are sure to find fresh inspiration in these glowing pictures, which will enable them better to illustrate theme and lesson. In the household, this new edition will interest and instruct every member of the family, and cannot fail to lead to a closer reading and better understanding of the Scriptures. Its delightful, full- faced type, its ample marginal references, the "self-pronouncing" feature, and the copious Concordance, contribute value to this new edition in a degree second only to its wealth of illustrations, which are freely acknowledged to be infinitely superior in every way to those in any other edition of the Holy Scriptures ever made or contemplated.

CHAPTER 1. 1 The creation of heaven and earth, 3 of the light, 6 of the firma- ment, 9 of the earth separated from the waters, 11 and made fruit- ful, 14 of the sun, moon, and stars, 20 of fish and fowl, 24 of beasts and cattle. 20 of man in the image of God. 29 Also the appoint- ment of food. N the a beginning b God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was with- out form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. c And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 d And God said, e Let there be light : and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good : and God divided 2 the light from the dark- ness. 5 And God called the light -^Day, and the darkness he called Night. 3 And the evening and the morning were the first day. 6 r And God said, y Let there be a 4 firma- ment in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 And God made the firmament h and di- vided the waters which were under the firma- ment from the waters which were l above the firmament : and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 9 IT And God said, k Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth ; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas : and God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, Let the earth l bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding m fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth : and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was- in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. 14 f And God said, Let there be n lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide 2 the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and °for seasons, and for days, and years : 15 And let them be for lights in the firma- ment of the heaven to give light upon the earth : and it was so. 16 And God ^made two great lights; the greater light 3 to rule the day, and 9 the lesser light to rule the night: he made r the stars also. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 And to s rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the dark- ness : and God saw that it was good. 19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. 20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the 4 moving creature that hath 5 life, and 6 fowl that may fly above the earth in the 7 open firmament of heaven. 21 And t God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the wa- ters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind : and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, w Be fruit- ful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 24 r And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind : and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind : and God saw that it was good. 26 f And God said, x Let us make man in our image, after our likeness : and y let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, z in the image of God created he him ; a male and female created he them.

THUS the heavens and the earth were finished, and a all the host of them. 2 b And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made ; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God c blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it : because that in it he had rested from all his work which God 5 created and made. 4 IT d These are the generations of the hea- vens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, 5 And every e plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not •f caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man 9 to till the ground. 6 But 6 there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7 And the Lord God formed man 7 of the h dust of the ground, and * breathed into his k nostrils the breath of life ; and l man be- came a living soul. 8 IT And the Lord God planted m a garden n eastward in ° E'den ; and there p he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow q every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; r the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, s and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 10 And a river went out of E'den to water the garden ; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 11 The name of the first is Pi'son: that is it which compasseth l the whole land of Hav'i-lah, where there is gold ; 12 And the gold of that land is good : u there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 13 And the name of the second river is Gi'hbn : the same is it that compasseth the whole land of 2 E'thi-6'pi-a. 14 And the name of the third river is x Hid'- de-kel : that is it which goeth 3 toward the east of As-syr'i-a. And the fourth river is Eu-phra'te§. 15 And the Lord God took 4 the man, and y put him into the garden of E'den to dress it and to keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden 5 thou mayest freely eat : 17 z But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, a thou shalt not eat of it : for in the day that thou eatest thereof b 6 thou shalt surely die. 18 IT And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone ; c I will make him an help 7 meet for him. 19 d And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air ; and e brought them unto 8 Ad'am to see what he would call them : and whatsoever Ad'am called every living crea- ture, that was the name thereof. 20 And Ad'am 9 gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field ; but for Ad'am there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the Lord God caused a f deep sleep to fall upon Ad'am, and he slept : and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, 2 made he a woman, and 9 brought her unto the man. 23 And Ad'am said, This is now h bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh : she shall be called 3 Woman, because she was * taken out of 4 Man. 24 k Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife : and they shall be one flesh. 25 l And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not m ashamed.

And the woman said, ° The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14 And the Lord God said p unto the ser- pent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field ; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and q dust shalt thou eat all the davs of thy life : 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between r thy seed and s her seed ; ' it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; " in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children ; x and thy desire shall be 5 to thy husband, and he shall y rule over thee. 17 And unto Ad'am he said, z Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, 2. 14 commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat ^j; of it : c cursed is the ground for thy sake ; d in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life ; 18 e Thorns also and thistles shall it 2 bring forth to thee; and - f thou shalt eat the herb of the field ; 19 ff In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground ; for out of it wast thou taken : h for dust thou art, and l unto dust shalt thou return. 20 And Ad'am called his wife's name 3 4 Eve ; because she was the mother of all living. 21 Unto Ad'am also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them. 22 •" And the Lord God said, k Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil : and now, lest he put forth his hand, 1 and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever : 23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of E'den, m to till the ground I j] from whence he was taken. | * cl ^ ft 24 So he drove out the man ; and he placed j jlj s>. 20 n at the east of the garden of E'den °Cher' cEceles= 1. 2. 3.

CHAPTER 18. 1 Abraham entertaineth three angels. 9 Sarah is reproved for laughing at the strange promise. 17 The destruction of Sodom is revealed to Abraham. 2d Abraham maketh intercession for the men thereof. AND the Lord appeared unto him in the _ a plains of Mam're: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day ; 2 6 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him : c and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant : 4 Let d a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves un- der the tree : 5 And e I will fetch a morsel of bread, and 2 -^ comfort ye your hearts ; after that ye shall pass on : 9 for therefore 3 are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. 6 And A'bra-ham hastened into the tent unto Sa'rah, and said, 4 Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. 7 And A'bra-ham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man ; and he hasted to dress it. 8 And ^he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them ; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat. 9 IT And they said unto him, Where is Sa'- rah thy wife ? And he said, Behold, * in the tent. 10 And he said, I k will certainly return unto thee l according to the time of life ; and, lo, m Sa'rah thy wife shall have a son. And Sa'rah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. 11 Now n A'bra-ham and Sa'rah were old and well stricken in age ; and it ceased to be with Sa'rah ° after the manner of women. 12 Therefore Sa'rah ^ laughed within her- self, saying, « After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my r lord being old also ? 13 And the Lord said unto A'bra-ham, Wherefore did Sa'rah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old ? 14 s Is any thing too hard for the Lord? 'At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sa'- rah shall have a son. 15 Then Sa'rah denied, saying, I laughed not ; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay ; but thou didst laugh. 16 H And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sod'om: and A'bra-ham went with them u to bring them on the way. 17 And the Lord said, x Shall I hide from A'bra-ham that thing which I do ; 18 Seeing that A'bra-ham shall surely be- come a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be ^blessed in him? 19 For I know him, z that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment ; that the Lord may bring upon A'bra-ham that which he hath spoken of him. 20 And the Lord said, Because a the cry of SSd'om and Go-m6r'rah is great, and because their sin is very grievous ; 21 b I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me ; and if not, c I will know. 22 And the men turned their faces from thence, d and went toward S5d'om : but A'bra-ham e stood yet before the Lord. 23 IT And A'bra-ham -^drew near, and said, g Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked ? 24 h Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city : wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? 25 That be far from thee to do after this 20 Abraham intercedeth for Sodom.

And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. 29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found 33 And the Lord went his way, as soon as he had left communing with A'bra-ham : and A'bra-ham returned unto his place.

And they said again, This one fellow n came in to sojourn, °and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even LSt, and came near to break the door. 10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled LSt into the house to them, and shut to the door. 11 And they smote the men ^that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great : so that they wearied them- selves to find the door. 12 1 And the men said unto LSt, Hast thou here any besides ? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, q bring them out of this place : 13 For we will destroy this place, because the r cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord ; and s the Lord hath sent us to destroy it. 14 And LSt went out, and spake unto his sons in law, l which married his daughters, and said, M Up, get you out of this place ; for the Lord will destroy this city. ^But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. 15 1 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened LSt, saying, y Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which 2 are here ; lest thou be consumed in the 3 iniquity of the city. 16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters ; 2 the Lord being merciful unto him : a and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. 17 IT And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, b Escape for thy life ; c look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain ; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. 18 And LSt said unto them, Oh, d not so, my Lord: 19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life ; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die : 20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one : Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one ?) and my soul shall live. 21 And he said unto him, See, e I have accepted 2 thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spokem 22 Haste thee, escape thither; for ^1 can- not do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore g the name of the city was called 3 Zo'ar. 23 IT The sun was 4 risen upon the earth when LSt entered into Zo'ar. 24 Then 71 the Lord rained upon SSd'omand upon Go-mSr'rah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven ; 25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and % that which grew upon the ground. 26 IT But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became k a pillar of salt. 27 IT And A'bra-ham gat up early in the morning to the place where l he stood before the Lord : 28 And he looked toward SSd'om and Go-mSr'rah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, m the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a fur- nace. 29 IT And it came to pass, when God de- stroyed the cities of the plain, that God n re- membered A'bra-ham, and sent LSt out of the midst of the overthrow, when he over- threw the cities in the which LSt dwelt. 30 IF And LSt went up out of Zo'ar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daugh- ters with him ; for he feared to dwell in Zo'ar : and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. 31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth p to come in unto us after the man- ner of all the earth : 32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we q may pre- serve seed of our father. 33 And they made their father drink wine that night : and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father ; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. 34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, 1 lay yesternight with my father : let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. 35 And they made their father drink wine that night also : and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. 36 Thus were both the daughters of LSt with child by their father. 37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Mo'ab : r the same is the father of the Mo'ab-Ites unto this day. 38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Ben'-am'mi : s the same is the father of the children of Am'mon unto this day.

AND A'bra-ham journeyed from a thence * toward the south country, and dwelled between b Ka'desh and Shur, and c sojourned in Ge'rar. 2 And A'bra-ham said of Sa'rah his wife, d She is my sister : and A-bim'e-lech king of Ge'rar sent, and e took Sa'rah. 3 But f God came to A-bim'e-lech s ina dream by night, and said to him, h Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken ; for she is 2 a man's wife. 4 But A-bim'e-lech had not come near her : and he said, Lord, *wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? 5 Said he not unto me, She is my sister ? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother : k in the 3 integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. 6 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart ; for 1 1 also withheld thee from sinning m against me : therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. 7 Now therefore restore the man his wife ; n for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live : and if thou restore her not, ° know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, p and all that are thine. 8 Therefore A-bim'e-lech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears : and the men were sore afraid. 9 Then A-bim'e-lech called A'bra-ham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, q that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me r that ought not to be done. 10 And A-bim'e-lech said unto A'bra-ham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? 11 And A'bra-ham said, Because 1 thought, Surely s the fear of God is not in this place ; and l they will slay me for my wife's sake. 12 And yet indeed u she is my sister ; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother ; and she became my wife. 13 And it came to pass, when x God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me ; at every place whither we shall come, y say of me, He is my brother. 14 And A-bim'e-lech z took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto A'bra-ham, and restored him Sa'rah his wife. 15 And A-bim'e-lech said, Behold, a my land is before thee : dwell 4 where it pleaseth thee. 16 And unto Sa'rah he said, Behold, I have given b thy brother a thousand pieces of silver : c behold, he is to thee d a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved. 17 H So A'bra-ham e prayed unto God : and God healed A-bim'e-lech, and his wife, and his maidservants ; and they bare children. 18 For the Lord f had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of A-bim'e-lech, because of Sa'rah A'bra-ham's wife.

AND the Lord "visited Sa'rah as he had . said, and the Lord did unto Sa'rah b as he had spoken. 2 For Sa'rah c conceived, and bare A'bra- ham a son in his old age, d at the set time of which God had spoken to him. 3 And A'bra-ham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sa'rah bare to him, e I'§aac. 4 And A'bra-ham^ circumcised his son I'§aac being eight days old, s'as God had com- manded him. 5 And h A'bra-ham was an hundred years old, when his son I'saac was born unto him. 6 H And Sa'rah said, l God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear k will laugh with me. 7 And she said, Who would have said unto A'bra-ham, that Sa'rah should have given children suck? *for I have born him a son in his old age. 8 And the child grew, and was weaned : and A'bra-ham made a great feast the same day that I'§aac was weaned. 9 1T And Sa'rah saw the son of Ha'gar m the E-gyp'tian, n which she had born unto A'bra- ham, ° mocking. 10 Wherefore she said unto A'bra-ham, p Cast out this bondwoman and her son : for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with i'§aae. 11 And the thing was very grievous in A'bra-ham's sight q because of his son. 12 IT And God said unto A'bra-ham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman ; in all that Sa'rah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for r in I'§aac shall thy seed be called. 13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make s a nation, because he is thy seed. 14 And A'bra-ham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Ha'gar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and * sent her away : and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Be'er-she'ba. 15 And the water was spent in the bottle, 24 The angel comforteth Hagar.

And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept. 17 And u God heard the voice of the lad ; and the angel of God called to Ha'gar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Ha'gar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. 18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for x I will make him a great nation. 19 And y God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. \ 20 And God z was with the lad; and he grew, % , and dwelt in the wilder- \ ness, a and became an ,, '-Sosf archer.

And he said, Behold the fire and the wood : but where is the 4 lamb for a burnt offering ? 8 And A'bra-ham said, My son, God will pro- vide himself a lamb for a burnt offering : so they went both of them together. 9 And they came to the place which God had told him of ; and A'bra-ham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound I'§aac his son, and e laid him on the altar upon the wood. 10 And A'bra-ham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. 11 And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, A'bra-ham, A'bra-ham : and he said, Here am I. 12 And he said, f Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him : for 9 now I know that thou fearest God, see- ing, thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. 13 And A'bra-ham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns : and A'bra-ham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. 14 And A'bra-ham called the name of that place 5 Je-ho'vah-ji'reh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen. 15 IT And the angel of the Lord called unto A'bra-ham out of heaven the second time, 16 And said, h By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast 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 heaven, k and as the sand which is upon the sea 2 shore ; and l thy seed shall possess m the gate of his enemies ; 18 n And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; ° because thou hast obeyed my voice. 19 So A'bra-ham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to p Be'er-she'ba ; and A'bra-ham dwelt at Be'- er-she'ba. 20 IT And it came to pass after these things, that it was told A'bra-ham, saying, Behold, 9 Mil'cah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Na'hor ; 21 r Hiiz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kem'u-el the father s of A'ram, 22 And Che'sed, and Ha'zo, and Pil'dash, and Jid'laph, and Be-thu'el. 23 And * Be-thu'el begat u Re-bek'ah : these eight Mil'cah did bear to Na'hor, A'bra-ham's brother. 24 And his concubine, whose name was Reu'- mah, she bare also Te'bah, and Ga'ham, and Tha'hash, and Ma'a-chah. CHAPTER 23. 1 The age and death of Sarah. 3 The purchase of Machpelah, 19 where Sarah ivas buried. AND Sa'rah was an hundred and seven x\. and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sa'rah. ' 2 And Sa'rah died in a Kir'jath-ar'ba ; the same is b He'bron in the land of Ca'naan : and A'bra-ham came to mourn for Sa'rah, and to weep for her. 3 If And A'bra-ham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying, 4 c I am a stranger and a sojourner with you : d give me a possession of a burying- place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight. 5 And the children of Heth answered A'bra- ham, saying unto him, 6 Hear us, my lord : thou art 3 e a mighty prince among us : in the choice of our sepul- chres bury thy dead ; none of us shall with- hold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead. 7 And A'bra-ham stood up, and bowed him- self to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth. 8 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight ; hear me, and intreat for me to E'phron the son of Zo'har, 9 That he may give me the cave of Mach- pe'lah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field ; for 4 as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a bury- ingplace amongst you. 10 And E'phron dwelt among the children of Heth : and E'phron the HIt'tite answered A'bra-ham in the 5 audience of the children 26 The purchase of Machpelah, GENESIS, 23. where Sarah ivas buried. ft Ex. 13.

And he said, Speak on. 34 And he said, I am A'bra-ham's servant. 35 And the Lord n hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidser- vants, and camels, and asses. 36 And Sa'rah my master's wife °bare a son to my master when she was old : and p unto him hath he given all that he hath. 37 And my master ^made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Ca'naan-ites, in whose land I dwell: 38 r But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son. 39 s And I said unto my master, Peradven- ture the woman will not follow me. 40 *And he said unto me, The Lord, u be- fore whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way ; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house : 41 x Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred ; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath. 42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, y O Lord God of my master A'bra-ham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go : b. c. 1857. d ch. 22. 23. e ver. 52.

And she said, The daughter of Be-thu'el, Na'hor's son, whom MH'cah bare unto him : and I c put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands. 48 d And I bowed down my head, and wor- shipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master A'bra-ham, which had led me in the right way to take e my master's brother's daughter unto his son. 49 And now if ye will f deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me : and if not, tell me ; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left. 50 Then La'ban and Be-thu'el answered and said, 9 The thing proceedeth from the Lord : we can- not h speak unto thee bad or good. 51 Behold, Re-bek'ah l is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the Lord hath spoken. 52 And it came to pass, that, when A'bra-ham's servant heard their words, he k worshipped the Lord, bowing himself to the earth. 53 And the servant brought forth 2 1 jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Re-bek'ah : he gave also to her brother and to her mother m pre- cious things. 54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morn- ing, and he said, n Send me away unto my master. 55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us 3 a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go. 56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, see- ing the Lord hath pros- pered my way ; send me away that I may go to my master. 57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth. 58 And they called Re-bek'ah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man?

AND there was a famine in the land, be- J\. side a the first famine that was in the days of A'bra-ham.

And I'saac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her. 10 And A-bim'e-lSch said, What is this thou hast done unto us ? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and ^thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. 11 And A-bim'e-lSch charged all his people, saying, He that ^toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. 12 Then I'saac sowed in that land, and 2 re- ceived in the same year r an hundredfold: and the Lord s blessed him. great, and 3 went he became very 13 And the man * waxed forward, and grew until great : 14 For he had possession of flocks, and pos- session of herds, and great store of 4 servants : and the Phi-lis'tines u envied him. 15 For all the wells x which his father's ser- vants had digged in the days of A'bra-ham his father, the Phi-lis'tines had stopped them, and filled them with earth. 16 And A-bim'e-lech said unto I'saac, Go from us ; for y thou art much mightier than we. 17 II And I'saac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Ge'rar, and dwelt there. 18 And I'§aac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of A'bra-ham his father ; for the Phi-lis'tines had stopped them after the death of A'bra- ham: s and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. 19 And I'saac's servants digged in the val- ley, and found there a well of 5 springing water. 20 And the herdmen of Ge'rar a did strive with I'saac's herdmen, saying, The water is our's : and he called the name of the well 6 E'sek ; because they strove with him. 21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also : and he called the name of it 7 Sit'nah. 22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well ; and for that they strove not : and he called the name of it 8 Re-ho'both; and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall 6 be fruitful in the land. 23 And he went up from thence to Be'er- she'ba. 24 And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, C I am the God of A'bra- ham thy father : d fear not, for e I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant A'bra-ham's sake. 25 And he ^builded an altar there, and 9 called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there: and there I'saac's servants digged a well. 26 IT Then A-bim'e-lech went to him from Ge'rar, and A-huz'zath one of his friends, h and Phi'chol the chief captain of his army. 27 And I'saac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing * ye hate me, and have k sent me away from you? 28 And they said, 9 We saw certainly that the Lord l was with thee : and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even be- twixt us and thee, and let us make a cove- nant with thee ; 29 2 That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee 2 Heb. found. r Matt. 13. 8.

And E'sau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. 6 IF And Re-bek'ah spake unto Ja'cob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto E'sau thy brother, saying, 7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the Lord before my death. 8 Now therefore, my son, e obey my voice according to that which I command thee. 9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them -^ savoury meat for thy fa- ther, such as he loveth : 10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he fl'may bless thee before his death. 11 And Ja'cob said to Re-bek'ah his mo- ther, Behold, h E'sau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man : 12 My father peradventure will * feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver ; and I shall bring fc a curse upon me, and not a blessing. 13 And his mother said unto him, l Upon me be thy curse, my son : only obey my voice, and go fetch me them. 14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother : and his mother m made savoury meat, such as his father loved. 15 And Re-bek'ah took 2 n goodly raiment of her eldest son E'sau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Ja'cob her younger son : 16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck : 17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Ja'cob. 18 H And he came unto his father, and said, My father : and he said, Here am I ; who art thou, my son? 19 And Ja'cob said unto his father, I am E'sau thy firstborn ; I have done according as thou badest me : arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, ° that thy soul may bless me. 20 And I'§aac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord thy God brought it 3 to me. 21 And I'saac said uuto Ja'cob, Come near, I pray thee, that I p may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son E'sau or not. 22 And Ja'cob went near unto !'§aae his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Ja'cob's voice, but the hands are the hands of E'sau. 23 And he discerned him not, because q his hands were hairy, as his brother E'sau's hands : so he blessed him. 24 And he said, Art thou my very son E'sau? And he said, I am. 25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, r that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat : and he brought him wine, and he drank. 26 And his father I'saac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son. 27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, s the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed: 28 Therefore * God give thee of u the dew of heaven, and ^the fatness of the earth, and y plenty of corn and wine : 29 ^Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee : be lord over thy brethren, and a let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: 6 cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee. 30 "1 And it came to pass, as soon as I'saac had made an end of blessing Ja'cob, and Ja'cob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of I'saac his father, that E'sau his brother came in from his hunting. 31 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his 33 Esau obtain etk a blessing, GENESIS, 28. and threateneth Jacob. 38 And E'sau said unto his father, Hast thou but one bless- ing, my father ? bless me, even me also, O my father.

THEN Ja'cob 3 went on his journey, a and came into the land of the 4 people of the east. 2 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it ; for out of that well they watered the flocks : and a great stone was upon the well's mouth. 3 And thither were all the flocks gathered : and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place. 4 And Ja'cob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye ? And they said, Of Ha'ran are we. 5 And he said unto them, Know ye La'ban the son of Na'hor? And they said, We know him. 6 And he said unto them, 5b Is he well ? And they said, He is well : and, behold, Ra'- chel his daughter cometh with the sheep. 7 And he said, Lo, 6 it is yet high day, nei- ther is it time that the cattle should be gathered together : water ye the sheep, and go and feed them. 8 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep. 9 H And while he yet spake with them, c Ra'- chel came with her father's sheep : for she kept them. 10 And it came to pass, when Ja'cob saw Ra'chel the daughter of La'ban his mother's brother, and the sheep of La'ban his mo- ther's brother, that Ja'cob went near, and d rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of La'ban his mother's brother. 11 And Ja'cob e kissed Ra'chel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. 12 And Ja'cob told Ra'chel that he was f her father's brother, and that he was Re-bek'ah's son : 9 and she ran and told her father. 13 And it came to pass, when La'ban heard the 7 tidings of Ja'cob his sister's son, that I 35 Jacob hath Leah and Rachel to wife.

And he said to him, Here am I. 14 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, 2 see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks ; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of k He'bron, and he came to She'chem. 15 IT And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? 16 And he said, I seek my brethren: ^tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks. 17 And the man said, They are departed hence ; for I heard them say, Let us go to Do 'than. And Jo'seph went after his bre- thren, and found them in m Do 'than. 18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, n they con- spired against him to slay him. 19 And they said one to another, Behold, this 3 dreamer cometh. 20 "Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him : and we shall see what will become of his dreams. 21 And p Reu'ben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands ; and said, Let us not kill him. 22 And Reu'ben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him ; that he might rid him out of their hands, to de- liver him to his father again. 23 IT And it came to pass, when Jo'seph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Jo'- seph out of his coat, his coat of many 4 co- lours that was on him ; 24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit : and the pit was empty, there was no wa- ter in it. 25 g And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, be- hold, a company of r Ish'me-el-ites came from Gil'e-ad with their camels bearing spicery and s balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to E'gypt. 26 And Jii'dah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and l con- ceal his blood? 27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ish'me- el-ites and u let not our hand be upon him ; for he is ^our brother and ^our flesh. And his brethren 5 were content. 28 Then there passed by z Mid'i-an-ites merchantmen ; and they drew and lifted up Jo'seph out of the pit, a and sold Jo'seph to the Ish'me-el-ites for b twenty pieces of silver : and they brought Jo'seph into E'gypt. 29 IT And Reu'ben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Jo'seph was not in the pit; and he c rent his clothes. 30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child d is not ; and I, whither shall I go? 31 And they took e Jo'seph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood; 32 And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father ; and said, This have we found : know now whether it be thy son's coat or no. 33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat ; an f evil beast hath devoured him ; Jo'- seph is without doubt rent in pieces. 34 And Ja'cob S'rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. 35 And all his sons and all his daughters h rose up to comfort him ; but he refused to be comforted ; and he said, For * I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him. 36 And fc the Mid'i-an-ites sold him into E'gypt unto Pot'i-phar, an 2 officer of Pha'- raoh's, and 34 captain of the guard. CHAPTER 38.

And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me? 17 *And he said, ' I will send thee 3 a kid from the flock.

AND Jo'seph was brought down to E'gypt; XI. and a Pot'i-phar, an officer of Pha'raoh, captain of the guard, an E-gyp'tian, b bought him of the hands of the Ish'me-el-ites, which had brought him down thither. 2 And c the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the E-gyp'tian. 3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord d made all that he did to prosper in his hand. 4 And Jo'seph e found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him -^ over- seer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. 5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that 9 the Lord blessed the E-gyp'tian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. 6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Jo'seph h was a goodly person, and well favoured. 7 IF And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Jo'- seph; and she said, *Lie with me. 8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand ; 9 There is none greater in this house than I ; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his ,wife : k how then can I do this great wickedness, and l sin against God ? 10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Jo'- §eph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her. 11 And it came to pass about this time, that Jo'qeph went into the house to do his busi- ness ; and there was none of the men of the house there within. 12 And m she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me : and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out. 13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, 14 That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an He'brewunto us to mock us ; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a 2 loud voice : 15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out. 16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home. 17 And she n spake unto him according to these words, saying, The He'brew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me : 18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out. 19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me ; that his ° wrath was kindled. 20 And Joseph's master took him, and p put him into the q prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison. 21 IT But the Lord was with Joseph, and 3 shewed him mercy, and r gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 22 And the keeper of the prison s committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison ; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. 23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand ; because 1 the Lord was with him, and that which he did, the Lord made it to prosper.

And Joseph said unto them, e Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you. 9 And the chief butler told his dream to Jo'- §eph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me ; 10 And in the vine were three branches : and it was as though it budded, and her blos- soms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes : 11 And Pha'raoh's cup was in my hand : and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pha'raoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pha'- raoh's hand.

CHAPTER 41. 1 Pharaoh's two dreams. 25 Joseph interpreteth them. 33 He give/h Pharaoh counsel. 38 Joseph is advanced. 50 He begetteth Manasseh and Ephraim. 54 The famine beginneth. AND it came to pass at the end of two XjL full years, that Pha'raoh dreamed : and, behold, he stood by the river. 2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and f atfleshed ; and they fed in a meadow. 3 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed ; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river. 4 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pha'raoh awoke. 5 And he slept and dreamed the second time : and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stock, 8 rank and good. 6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them. 7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pha'raoh awoke, and, behold, it was sl dream. 8 And it came to pass in the morning a that his spirit was troubled ; and he sent and called for all b the magicians of E'gypt, and all the c wise men thereof : and Pha'raoh told them his dream ; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pha'raoh. 9 IT Then spake the chief butler unto Pha'- raoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day: 10 Pha'raoh was d wroth with his servants, e and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker: 11 And f 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 there with us a young man, an He 'brew, 9 servant to the captain of the guard ; and we told him, and he h in- terpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret. 13 And it came to pass, *as he interpreted to us, so it was ; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged. 14 IT k Then Pha'raoh sent and called Jo'seph, and they 1 2 brought him hastily m out of the dungeon : and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pha'raoh. 15 And Pha'raoh said unto Jo'seph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it : n and I have heard say of thee, that 3 thou canst understand a dream to in- terpret it. 16 And Jo'seph answered Pha'raoh, saying, ° It is not in me : p God shall give Pha'raoh an answer of peace. 17 And Pha'raoh said unto Jo'seph, ^In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river : 18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, f atfleshed and well favoured ; and they fed in a meadow : 19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of E'gypt for badness : 20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine : 21 And when they had 4 eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them ; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke. 22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good: 23 And, behold, seven ears, 5 withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them : 24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears : and r I told this unto the magi- cians ; but there was none that could declare it to me. 25 IT And Jo'seph said unto Pha'raoh, The 50 Joseph interpreteth Pharaoh's dreams, GENESIS, 41. and becometh ruler over Egypt. b. c. 1715. s Dan. 2. 28, 2'.), 45.

NOW when a Ja'cob saw that there was corn in E'gypt, Ja'cob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another ? 2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in E'gypt : get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may b live, and not die. 3 IT And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in E'gypt. 4 But Ben'ja-min, Jo'seph's brother, Ja'cob sent not with his brethren ; for he said, c Lest peradventure mischief befall him. 5 And the sons of Is'ra-el came to buy corn among those that came : for the famine was d in the land of Ca'naan. 6 And Joseph was the governor e over the land, and he it was that sold to all the peo- ple of the land : and Jo'seph's brethren came, and f bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth. 7 And Jo'seph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake 5 roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Ca'naan to buy food. 8 And Jo'§eph knew his brethren, but they knew not him. 9 And J6'§eph ^ remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come. ■ 10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come. 11 We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies. 12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come. 13 And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Ca'naan ; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one h is not. 14 And Jo'seph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies : 15 Hereby ye shall be proved: *By the life of Pha'raoh ye shall not go forth hence, ex- cept your youngest brother come hither. 16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be 2 kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pha'raoh surely ye are spies. 17 And he 3 put them all together into ward three days. 18 And Jo'seph said unto them the third day, This do, and live ; k for I fear God : 19 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison : go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses : 20 But l bring your youngest brother unto me ; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so. 21 IT And they said one to another, m We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; n there- fore is this distress come upon us. 22 And Reu'ben answered them, saying, ° Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is p required. 23 And they knew not that Jo'seph under- stood them ; for 4 he spake unto them by an interpreter. 24 And he turned himself about from them, and wept ; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Sim'e-on, and bound him before their eyes. 25 IT Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them pro- vision for the way : and q thus did he unto them. 26 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence. 27 And as r one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money ; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth. 28 And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored ; and, lo, it is even in my sack : and their heart 5 failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us ? 29 IT And they came unto Ja'cob their father unto the land of Ca'naan, and told him all that befell unto them ; saying, 30 The man, who is the lord of the land, s spake 6 roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country. 52 Jacob's sons return to him.

And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son. 30 And Jo'seph made haste ; for r his bowels did yearn upon his brother : and he sought where to weep ; and he entered into his chamber, and s wept there. 31 And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on 1 bread. 32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the E-gyp'- tian§, which did eat with him, by them- selves: because the E-gyp'tian§ might not eat bread with the He'brew§ ; for that is u an abomination unto the E-gyp'tians^ 33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the young- est according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another. 34 And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Ben'ja-mln's mess was x five times so much as any of their's.

And he did according to the word that J6'§eph had spoken. 3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses. 4 And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Jo'seph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men ; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good? 5 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he 6 divineth ? ye have done evil in so doing. 6 1 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words. 7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith 54 The humble supplication GENESIS, 45. of Judah to Joseph. 17(17 a ch. 43. 21. b ch. 81. 32. c eh. 37. 29, 34.

And his brethren could not answer him ; for they were 3 troubled at his presence. 4 And Jo'seph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Jo'geph your brother, 6 whom ye sold into E'gypt. 5 Now therefore c be not grieved, 4 nor an- gry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither : ^for God did send me before you to preserve life. 6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land : and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. 7 And God sent me before you 5 to pre- serve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me e a father to Pha'raoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of E'gypt. 9 "Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son J6'§eph, God hath made me lord of all E'gypt: come down unto me, tarry not : 10 And ^thou shalt dwell in the land of Go'shen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy chil- dren's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast: 11 And there will I nourish thee ; for yet there are five years of famine ; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty. 12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Ben'ja-min, that it is 9 my mouth that speaketh unto you. 13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in E'gypt, and of all that ye have seen ; and ye shall haste and h bring down my father hither. 14 And he fell upon his brother BSn'ja-min's neck, and wept ; and Ben'ja-min wept upon his neck. 15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them : and after that his brethren talked with him. 16 H And the fame thereof was heard in Pha'raoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come : and it 2 pleased Pha'raoh well, and his servants. 17 And Pha'raoh said unto Jo'seph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye ; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Ca'naan ; 18 And take your father and your house- holds, and come unto me : and I will give you the good of the land of E'gypt, and ye shall eat * the fat of the land. 19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye ; take you wagons out of the land of E'gypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come. 20 Also 3 regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of E'gypt is your's. 21 And the children of Is'ra-el did so : and Jo'seph gave them wagons, according to the 4 commandment of Pha'raoh, and gave them provision for the way. 22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment ; but to Ben'ja-min he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and k five changes of raiment. 23 And to his father he sent after this man- ner ; ten asses 5 laden with the good things of E'gypt, and ten she asses laden with corn 5 Heb. carry- ing. 56 God comfortetli Jacob at Beersheba.

THEN Jo'f-seph a came and told Pha'raoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Ca'- naan ; and, behold, they are in b the land of Go'shen. 2 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and c presented them unto Pha'- raoh. 3 And Pha'raoh said unto his brethren, d What is your occupation ? And they said unto Pha'raoh, e Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers. 4 They said moreover unto Pha'raoh, / For to sojourn in the land are we come ; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks ; s'for the famine is sore in the land of Ca'- naan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants h dwell in the land of Go'shen. 5 And Pha'raoh spake unto J6'§eph, say- ing, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee : 6 *The land of E'gypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; fc in the land of Go'shen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle. 7 And Jo'seph brought in Ja'cob his father, and set him before Pha'raoh: and Ja'cob blessed Pha'raoh. 8 And Pha'raoh said unto Ja'cob, 2 How old art thou ? 9 And Ja'cob said unto Pha'raoh, l The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hun- dred and thirty years: m few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and ™have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage. 10 And Ja'cob ° blessed Pha'raoh, and went out from before Pha'raoh. 11 IT And J6'§eph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of E'gypt, in the best of the land, in the land of ^R&m'e-ses^ 9 as Pha'raoh had commanded. 12 And Jo'seph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, 3 4 according to their families. 13 IT And there was no bread in all the land ; for the famine was very sore, r so that the land of E'gypt and all the land of Ca'naan fainted by reason of the famine. 14 s And Jo'seph. gathered up all the money that was found in the land of E'gypt, and in the land of Ca'naan, for the corn which they bought : and Jo'seph brought the money into Pha'raoh's house. 15 And when money failed in the land of E'gypt, and in the land of Ca'naan, all the E-gyp'tian§ came unto Jo'seph, and said, Give us bread : for t why should we die in thy presence ? for the money f aileth. 16 And Jo'seph said, Give your cattle ; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail. 17 And they brought their cattle unto Jo'- seph: and Jo'seph gave them bread in ex- change for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses : and he 5 fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year. 18 When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent ; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in 58 Joseph buyeth the land for Pharaoh.

And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and-^I will bless them. 10 Now g the eyes of Is/ra-el were 2 dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him ; and h he kissed them, and embraced them. 11 And Is/ra-el said unto Joseph, *I had not thought to see thy face : and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed. 12 And Jo'seph brought them out from be- tween his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth. 13 And Joseph took them both, E'phra-im in his right hand toward Is/ra-el's left hand, and Ma-nas'seh in his left hand toward Is/ra-el's right hand, and brought them near unto him. 14 And Is'ra-el stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon E'phra-im's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Ma- nas'seh's head, k guiding his hands wittingly ; for Ma-nas'seh was the firstborn. 15 IT And l he blessed Jo'seph, and said, God, m before whom my fathers A'bra-ham and I'§aac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day, 16 The Angel n which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads ; and let ° my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers A'bra-ham and I'§aac ; and let them 3 grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth. 17 And when Jo'§eph saw that his father Plaid his right hand upon the head of E'phra-im, it 4 displeased him : and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from E'phra-im's head unto Ma-nas'seh's head. 18 And Jo'seph said unto his father, Not so, my father : for this is the firstborn ; put thy right hand upon his head. 19 And his father refused, and said, q I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly r his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a 5 multitude of nations. 20 And he blessed them that day, saying, s In thee_ shall Is/ra-el bless, saying, God make thee as E'phra-im and as Ma-nas'seh : and he set E'phra-im before Ma-nas'seh. 21 And Is/ra-el said unto Joseph, Behold, I die : but * God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers. 22 Moreover U I have given to thee one por- tion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand x of the Am'o-rite with my sword and with my bow. CHAPTER 49. 1 Jacob calleth his sons to bless them. 3 Their blessing in particu- lar. 29 He chargeth them about his burial. 33 He dieth. AND Ja'cob called unto his sons, and said, _ Gather yourselves together, that I may a tell you that which shall befall you b in the last days. 2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Ja'cob; and c hearken unto Is/ra-el your father. 3 IT Reu'ben, thou art d my firstborn, my might, e and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: 4 Unstable as water, 2 ^ thou shalt not excel ; because thou s'wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: 3 he went up to my couch. 5 IF h Slm'e-on and Le'vi are * brethren; 4 k instruments of cruelty are in their habita- tions. 6 O my soul, l come not thou into their se- cret ; m unto their assembly, n mine honour, be not thou united : for ° in their anger they slew a man, and in their self will they 5 digged down a wall. 7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce ; and their wrath, for it was cruel: p I will divide them in Ja'cob, and scatter them in Is/ra-el. 8 IF q Jii'dah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise : r thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies ; s thy father's children shall bow down before thee. 9 Jii'dah is l a lion's whelp : from the prey, my son, thou art gone up : u he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion ; who shall rouse him up ? 10 ^The sceptre shall not depart from Ju.'- dah, nor y a lawgiver z from between his feet, a until Shi'loh come ; b and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. 11 c Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes : 12 His d eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. 13 1F e Zeb'u-liin shall dwell at the haven of the sea ; and he shall be for an haven of ships ; and his border shall be unto Zi'don. 27.

Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again. 6 And Pha'raoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear. 7 H And J6'§eph went up to bury his father : and with him went up all the servants of Pha'raoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of E'gypt, 8 And all the house of Jo'seph, and his brethren, and his father's house : only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Go'shen. 9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen : and it was a very great com- pany. 10 And they came to the threshingfloor of A'tad, which is beyond Jor'dan, and there they h mourned with a great and very sore lamentation : * and he made a mourning for his father seven days. 11 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Ca'naan-ites, saw the mourning in the floor of A'tad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the E-gyp'tians : wherefore the name of it was called 3 A'bel-miz'ra-im, which is beyond Jor'dan. 12 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them : 13 For fc his sons carried him into the land of Ca'naan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Mach-pe'lah, which A'bra-ham 1 bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of E'phron the Hit'tite, before Mam're. 14 1" And Jo'seph returned into E'gypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father. 15 H And when Jo'seph's brethren saw that their father was dead, m they said, Jo'seph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.

CHAPTER 1. 1 The children of Israel, after Joseph's death, do multiply. 22 Pharaoh commandeth the male children to be cast into the river. OW a these are the names of the children of Is'ra-el, which came into E'gypt; every man and his house- hold came with Ja'cob. 2 Reu'ben, Sim'e-on, Le'- vi, and Ju'dah, 3 Is'sa-char, Zeb'u-ltin, and Ben'ja-min, 4 Dan, and Naph'ta-li, Gad, and Ash'er. 5 And all the souls that came out of the 2 loins of Ja'cob were b seventy souls : for Jd'seph was in E'gypt already. 6 And c Jo'seph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation. 7 IT d And the children of Is'ra-el were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and mul- tiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. 8 Now there e arose up a new king over E'gypt, which knew not Jd'seph. 9 And he said unto his people, Behold, -^ the people of the children of Is/ra-el are more and mightier than we : 10 ^ Come on, let us h deal wisely with them ; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land. 11 Therefore they did set over them task- masters l to afflict them with their k burdens. And they built for Pha'raoh treasure cities, PTthom l and Ra-am'se§. 12 3 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Is/- ra-el. 13 And the E-gyp'tian§ made the children of Is'ra-el to serve with rigour: 14 And they m made their lives bitter with hard bondage, n in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour. 15 IT And the king of E'gypt spake to the He'brew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiph'rah, and the name of the other Pu'ah : 16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the He'brew women, and see them upon the stools ; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him : but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. 17 But the midwives ° feared God, and did not p as the king of E'gypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. 18 And the king of E'gypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive ? 19 And 9 the midwives said unto Pha'raoh, Because the He 'brew women are not as the E-gyp'tian women ; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them. 20 r Therefore God dealt well with the mid- wives : and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. 21 And it came to pass, because the mid- wives feared God, s that he made them houses. 22 And Pha'raoh charged all his people, saying, ' Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive. CHAPTER 2. 1 Moses is born, 3 and in an ai-k cast into the flags. 5 He is found, and brought up by Pharaoh's daughter. 11 He slayeth an Egyp- tian. 13 He reproveth an Hebrew. 15 He fleet h into Midian. 21 He marrielh Zipporah. 22 Gershom is born. 23 God respect- eth the Israelites' 1 cry. AND there went a a _ man of the house of Le'vi, and took to wife a daughter of Le'vi. 2 And the woman con- ceived, and bare a son : and b when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. 3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the riv- er's brink. 4 c And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him. 5 IT And the d daughter of Pha'raoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side ; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. 6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child : and, behold, the babe wept.

And the maid went and called the child's mother. 9 And Pha'raoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it. 10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pha'raoh's daughter, and he became e her son. And she called his name 2 Mo'§e§: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water. 11 IT And it came to pass in those days, ^when M6'se§ was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their g bur- dens : and he spied an E-gyp'tian smiting an He 'brew, one of his brethren. 12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he h slew the E-gyp'tian, and hid him in the sand. 13 And *when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the He'brew§ strove together : and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow ? 14 And he said, k Who made thee 3 a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the E-gyp'tian? And Mo'§e§ feared, and said, Surely this thing is known. 15 Now when Pha'raoh heard this thing, he sought to slay M6'§e§. But l M6'§e§ fled from the face of Pha'raoh, and dwelt in the land of Mid'i-an : and he sat down by m a well. 16 n Now the 4 priest of Mid'i-an had seven daughters : ° and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. 17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but M6'§e§ stood up and helped them, and p watered their flock. 18 And when they came to 9 Reu'el their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day? 19 And they said, An E-gyp'tian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock. 20 And he said unto his daughters, And where is he ? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may r eat bread. 21 And Mo'ses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Mo'§e§ s Zip-po'rah his daughter. 22 And she bare him a son, and he called his name 2t Ger'shom: for he said, I have been u a stranger in a strange land. 23 IT And it came to pass x in process of time, that the king of E'gypt died : and the children of Is/ra-el ^sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and z their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. 24 And God a heard their groaning, and God 6 remembered his c covenant with A'bra-ham, with I'saac, and with Ja'cob. 25 And God d looked upon the children of I§'ra-el, and God 3e had respect unto them. CHAPTER 3. 1 Moses keepeth Jethro's flock. 2 God appeareth to him in a burn- ing bush. 9 He sendeth him to deliver Israel. 14 The name of God. 15 His message to Israel. "\TOW Mo'§es kept the flock of Je'thro his JlA father in law, a the priest of Mid'i-an: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to 6 the mountain of God, even to Ho'reb. 2 And c the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush : and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not con- sumed. 3 And Mo'§es said, I will now turn aside, and see this "great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called e unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, M6'§e§, Mo'§es. And he said, Here am I. 5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither : -^ put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 6 Moreover he said, 9 I am the God of thy father, the God of A'bra-ham, the God of I'§aac, and the God of Ja'cob. And M6'§es hid his face ; for h he was afraid to look upon God. 7 IT And the Lord said, ' 1 have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in E'gypt, and have heard their cry k by reason of their taskmasters ; for 1 1 know their sor- rows; 8 And m I am come down to n deliver them out of the hand of the E-gyp'tian§, and to bring them up out of that land ° unto a good land and a large, unto a land p flowing with milk and honey ; unto the place of q the Ca'- naan-ites, and the Hit'tites, and the Am'o- 64 The name of God.

AND Mo'ses answered and said, But, be- JOL hold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee. 2 And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, a A rod. 3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Mo'ses fled from before it. 4 And the Lord said unto Mo'ses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand : 5 That they may b believe that c the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abra- ham, the God of I'§aac, and the God of Ja'cob, hath ap- peared unto thee. 6 IT And the Lord said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom : and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous d as snow. 7 And he said, Put thine hand into thy bo- som again. And he put his hand into his bosom again ; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, e it was turned again as his other flesh. 8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. 9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and -^the water which thou takest out of the river 2 shall become blood upon the dry land. 10 IT And Mo'§e§ said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am not 3 eloquent, neither 4 hereto- fore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant : but 9 1 am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. 11 And the Lord said unto him, h Who hath made man's mouth ? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord ? 12 Now therefore go, and I will be l with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. 13 And he said, O my Lord, k send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou 5 wilt send. 14 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Mo'§e§, and he said, Is not Aar'on the Le'vite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, l he cometh forth to meet thee : and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. 15 And m thou shalt speak unto him, and n put words in his mouth : and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and °will teach you what ye shall do. 16 And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people : and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and p thou shalt be to him instead of God. 17 And thou shalt take q this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs. 18 IT And M6'se§ went and returned to B.

A XD afterward Mo'ses and Aar'on went A in, and told Pha'raoh, Thus saith the Lord God of Is'ra-el, Let my people go, that they may hold a a feast unto me in the wil- derness. 2 And Pha'raoh said, 5 Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice to let Is/ra-el go? I know not the Lord, c neither will I let Is/ra-el go. 3 And they said, d The God of the He'brews hath met with us : let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the Lord our God ; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword. 4 And the king of E'gypt said unto them, Moses defejstdentg the Daughteks of Jethho. — I 6 And Pha'raoh commanded the same day the 9 taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying, 7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore : let them go and gather straw for themselves. 8 And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them ; ye shall not diminish ought thereof : for they be idle ; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God. 9 2 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein ; and let them not regard vain words. 10 r And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pha'raoh, I will not give you straw ; 11 Go ye, get you 'straw where ye can find it : yet not ought of your work shall be diminished. 12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of E'gypt to gather stubble instead of straw.

CHAPTER 6. 1 God reneweth his promise by his name JEHOVAH. 14 The genealogy of Reuben, 15 of Simeon, 16 of Levi, of whom came Moses and Aaron. rTIHEN the Lord said unto Mo'ses, Now JL shalt thou see what I will do to Pha'- raoh : for a with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand b shall he drive them out of his land. 2 And God spake unto M6'se§, and said unto him, I am 2 the Lord : 3 And I appeared unto A'bra-ham, unto I'saac, and unto Ja'cob, by the name of c God Almighty, but by my name d JEHOVAH was I not known to them. • 4 e And I have also established my covenant with them, fto give them the land of Ca'- naan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. 5 And #1 have also heard the groaning of the children of Is/ra-el, whom the E-gyp'- tians keep in bondage ; and I have remem- bered my covenant. 6 Wherefore say unto the children of Is/- ra-el, h I am the Lord, and 1 1 will bring you out from under the burdens of the E-gyp'- tians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will k redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments : 7 And I will l take you to me for a people, and m I will be to you a God : and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out n from under the burdens of the E-gyp'tians. 8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did 3 ° swear to give it to A'bra-ham, to I'saac, and to Ja'cob ; and I will give it you for an heritage : I am the Lord. 9 IT And Mo'se§ spake so unto the children of Is/ra-el : p but they hearkened not unto Mo'ses for 4 anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage. 10 And the Lord spake unto Mo 'ses, saying, 11 Go in, speak unto Pha'raoh king of E'gypt, that he let the children of Is'ra-el go out of his land. 12 And Mo'ses spake before the Lord, say- ing, Behold, the children of Is'ra-el have 9 not hearkened unto me ; how then shall Pha'- raoh hear me, r who am of uncircumcised lips? 13 And the Lord spake unto Mo'ses and unto Aar'on, and gave them a charge unto the children of Is'ra-el, and unto Pha'raoh king of E'gypt, to bring_ the children of Is'- ra-el out of the land of E'gypt. 14 IT These be the heads of their fathers' houses : s The sons of Reu'ben the firstborn of Is/ra-el ; Ha'noch, and Pal'lu, Hez'ron, and Car'ml : these be the families of Reu'ben. 15 % And the sons of Sim'e-on ; Jem'u-el, and Ja'min, and O'had, and Ja'chin, and Zo'har, and Sha'ul the son of a Ca'naan-i'tish wo- man : these are the families of Sim'e-on. 16 IT And these are the names of u the sons of Le'vi according to their generations ; /Gen. 17. 8; 28. 4. gch.2.24.

And he said, Be it according to thy word : that thou mayest know that l there is none like unto the 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 M6'§e§ and Aar'on went out from Pha'raoh: and M6'§es k cried unto the Lord because of the frogs which he had brought against Pha'raoh. 13 And the Lord did according to the word of Mo'ses ; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields. 14 And they gathered them together upon heaps : and the land stank. 15 But when Pha'raoh saw that there was 1 respite, m he hardened his heart, and heark- ened not unto them; as the Lord had said. 16 M And the Lord said unto Mo'ses, Say unto Aar'on, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of E'gypt. 17 And they did so; for Aar'on stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and n it became lice in man, and in beast ; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of E'gypt. 18 And °the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they p could not : so there were lice upon man, and upon beast. » 19 Then the magicians said unto Pha'raoh, This is 9 the finger of God: and Pha'raoh's r heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them ; as the Lord had said. 70 The plague of files.

I go out from thee, and I will in treat the Lord that the swarms of flies may depart from Pha'raoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow : but let not Pha'raoh c deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord. 30 And Mo'ses went out from Pha'raoh, and d intreated the Lord. 31 And the Lord did according to the word of Mo'ses ; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pha'raoh, from his servants, and from his people ; there remained net one. 32 And Pha'raoh e hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the peo- ple go.

And -^the heart of Pha'raoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go. 8 it And the Lord said unto M6'§ei=s and unto Aar'on, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let M6'§e§ sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pha'raoh. 9 And it sTiall become small dust in all the land of E'gypt, and shall be 9 a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of E'gypt. 10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pha'raoh; and M6'se§ sprinkled it up toward heaven ; and it became /l a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast. 11 And the * magicians could not stand be- fore M6'§e§ because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the E-gyp'tians. 12 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pha'raoh, and he hearkened not unto them ; fc as the Lord had spoken unto M6'se§. 13 IT And the Lord said unto Mo'§es, l Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pha'raoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the He'brew§, Let my people go, that they may. serve me. 14 For I will at this time^end all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; m that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth. 15 For now I will n stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth. 16 And in very deed for ° this cause have I 2 raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power ; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. 17 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go ? 18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in E'gypt since the foundation thereof even until now. 19 Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die. 20 He that feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pha'raoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses : 21 And he that 3 regarded not the word of the Lord left his servants and his cattle in the field. 22 H And the Lord said unto M6'§es, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be p hail in all the land of E'gypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of E'gypt. 23 And Mo'ses stretched forth his rod to- ward heaven : and q the Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground ; and the Lord rained hail upon the land of E'gypt. 24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of E'gypt since it became a nation. 25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of E'gypt all that was in the field, both man and beast ; and the hail r smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field. 26 s Only in the land of Go'shen, where the children of Is/ra-el were, was there no hail. 27 IT And Pha'raoh sent, and called for M6'se§ and Aar'on, and said unto them, 1 1 have sinned this time : u the Lord is right- eous, and I and my people are wicked. 28 ^Intreat the Lord (for it is enough) that there be no more 2 mighty thunderings and hail ; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer. 29 And Mo'§es said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will y spread abroad my hands unto the Lord ; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail ; that thou mayest know how that the z earth is the Lord's. 30 But as for thee and thy servants, a I know that ye will not yet fear the Lord God. 31 And the flax and the barley was smitten : 6 for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was boiled. 32 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were 3 not grown up. 33 And Mo'§e§ went out of the city from Pha'raoh, and c spread abroad his hands unto the Lord : and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth. 34 And when Pha'raoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants. 35 And d the heart of Pha'raoh was har- dened, neither would he let the children of Is'ra-el go; as the Lord had spoken 4 by Mo'§e§.

And he turned himself, and went out from Pha'raoh. 7 And Pha'raoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be h & snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God : knowest thou not yet that E'gypt is destroyed? 8 And M6'§es and Aar'on were brought again unto Pha'raoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the Lord your God : but 3 who are they that shall go ? 9 And Mo'se§ said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go ; for * we must hold a feast unto the Lord. 10 And he said unto them, Let the Lord be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones : look to it; for evil is before you. 11 Not so : go now ye that are men, and serve the Lord ; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pha'raoh's pre- sence. 12 1 And the Lord said unto Mo'§e§, ^Stretch out thine hand over the land of E'gypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of E'gypt, and l eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left. 13 And Mo'ses stretched forth his rod over the land of E'gypt, and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. 14 And m the locusts went up over all the land of E'gypt, and rested in all the coasts of E'gypt : very grievous were they ; n before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. 15 For they ° covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they p did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left : and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of E'gypt. 16 IT Then Pha'raoh 4 called for Mo'ses and Aar'on in haste ; and he said, q I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you. 17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and r intreat the Lord your God, that he may take away from me this death only. 18 And he s went out from Pha'raoh, and intreated the Lord. 19 And the Lord turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and 2 cast them *into the Red sea; there re- mained not one locust in all the coasts of E'gypt. 20 But the Lord u hardened Pha'raoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Is/ra-el go. 21 IF And the Lord said unto Mo'ses, x Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of E'gypt, 3 even darkness which may be felt. 22 And M6'se§ stretched forth his hand to- ward heaven ; and there was a v thick dark- ness in all the land of E'gypt three days : 23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days : z but all the children of Is/ra-el had light in their dwellings. 24 If And Pha'raoh called unto Mo'ses, and a said, Go ye, serve the Lord ; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your 6 little ones also go with you. 25 And M6'se§ said, Thou must give 4 us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the Lord our God. 26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind ; for thereof must we take to serve the Lord our God ; and we know not with what we must serve the Lord, until we come thither. 27 II But the Lord c hardened Pha'raoh's heart, and he would not let them go. 28 And Pha'raoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more ; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die. 29 And M6'§e§ said, Thou hast spoken well, d I will see thy face again no more. CHAPTER 11. 1 God's message to the Israelites to borrow jewels of their neigh- bours. 4 Moses threat eneth, Pharaoh with the death of the first- born.

Moreover the man ** M6'§es was very great in the land of E'gypt, in the sight of Pha'raoh's servants, and in the sight of the people. 4 And Mo'ses said, Thus saith the Lord, e About midnight will I go out into the midst of E'gypt : 5 And f all the firstborn in the land of E'gypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pha'raoh that 74 The beginning of the year is changed.

And the people g bowed the head and worshipped. 28 And the children of Is/ra-el went away, and h did as the Lord had commanded M6'§es and Aar'on, so did they. 29 IT % And it came to pass, that at midnight k the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of E'gypt, l from the firstborn of Pha'- raoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the 4 dungeon ; and all the firstborn of cattle. 30 And Pha'raoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the E-gyp'tians ; and there was a m great cry in E'gypt ; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. 31 1 And n ne called for Mo'§es. and Aar'on by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, ° both ye and the children of Is'ra-el; and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said. 32 p Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone ; and q bless me also. 33 r And the E-gyp'tian§ were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste ; for they said, s We be all dead men. 34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their 2 kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. 35 And the children of Is'ra-el did according to the word of M6'§es; and they borrowed of the E-gyp'tian§ * jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment : 36 u And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the E-gyp'tians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And x they spoiled the E-gyp'tian§. 37 IT And y the children of Is'ra-el journeyed from z Ram 'e-se§ to Suc'coth, about a six hundred thousand on foot that were men, be- side children. 38 And 3 a mixed multitude went up also with them ; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. 39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of E'gypt, for it was not leavened; because b they were thrust out of E'gypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual. 40 IT Now the sojourning of the children of Is/ra-el, who dwelt in E'gypt, was c four hun- dred and thirty years. 41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the self- same day it came to pass, that all d the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of E'gypt. 42 It is 4 e a night to be much observed unto the Lord for bringing them out from the land of E'gypt: this is that night of the Lord to be observed of all the children of Is/ra-el in their generations. 43 IT And the Lord said unto Mo'ses and Aar'on, This is -^ the ordinance of the pass- over : There shall no stranger eat thereof : 44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast 9 circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. 45 h A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof. 46 In one house shall it be eaten ; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house ; l neither shall ye break a bone thereof. 76 - : ;. . : ' ... .-I- I* I Hi | W c W a, H £ Q The firstborn of Israel are sanctified.

Is/ra-el, n Come near before the Lord : for he hath heard your murmurings. 10 And it came to pass, as Aar'on spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Is/ra-el, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the Lord ° appeared in the cloud. 11 IT And the Lord spake unto Mo'§e§, saying, 12^1 have heard the murmurings of the children of Is/ra-el : speak unto them, saying, q At even ye shall eat flesh, and r in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God. 13 And it came to pass, that at even s the quails came up, and covered the camp : and in the morning *the dew lay round about the host. 14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay u a, small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. 15 And when the children of Is/ra-el sawii, they said one to another, 2 It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And M6'§e§ said unto them, x This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat. 16 IT This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it every man accord- ing to his eating, v an omer 3 for every man, according to the number of your 4 persons ; take ye every man for them which are in his tents. 17 And the children of Is/ra-el did so, and gathered, some more, some less. 18 And when they did mete it with an omer, z he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack ; they gathered every man according to his eating. 19 And Mo'§e§ said, Let no man leave of it till the morning. 20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto M6'§e§; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Mo'§es was wroth with them. 21 And they gathered it every morning,, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted. 22 IT And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told M6'§e§. 23 And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath said, To morrow is a the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord : bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe ; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. 24 And they laid it up till the morning, as M6'§e§ bade: and it did not b stink, neither was there any worm therein. 25 And Mo'sei=; said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the Lord : to day ye shall not find it in the field. 26 c Six days ye shall gather it ; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. 27 IT And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. 28 And the Lord said unto M6'§e§, How long d refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws? 29 See, for that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days ; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. 30 So the people rested on the seventh day. 31 And the house of Is/ra-el called the name thereof Manna: and e it was like coriander seed white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. 32 IT And Mo'§e§ said, This is the thing which the Lord commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of E'gypt. 33 And M6'§e§ said unto Aar'on, 'Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations. 34 As the Lord commanded M6'§e§, so Aar'on laid it up 9 before the Testimony, to be kept. 35 And the children of Is/ra-el did eat manna h forty years, x until they came to a land in- habited ; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Ca'- naan. 36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.

AND a all the congregation of the children x\. of Is/ra-el journeyed from the wilder- ness of Sin, after their journeys, accord- ing to the commandment of the Lord, and pitched in Reph'i-dim: and there was no water for the people to drink. 2 6 Wherefore the people did chide with M6'§e§, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And M6'§e§ said unto them, Why chide ye with me ? wherefore do ye c tempt the Lord ? 3 And the people thirsted there for water ; and the people d murmured against Mo'se§, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of E'gypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst? 4 And Mo'§e§ e cried unto the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to f stone me. 5 And the Lord said unto Mo'ses-s, ^Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of I§'ra-el; and thy rod, wherewith h thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go. 82 Moses bring eth water from the rock.

Turn from thy fierce wrath, and s repent of this evil against thy people. 13 Remember A'bra-ham, 1'saac, and Is/ra-el, thy servants, to whom thou l swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, u I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 14 And the Lord * repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. 15 IT And ^Mo'ses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand : the tables were written on both their sides ; on the one side and on the other were they written. 16 And the z tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables. 17 And when JSsh'u-a heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Mo'§e§, There is a noise of war in the camp. 18 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice b. c. 1491. <• Num. 14. 13.

So they gave it me : then I cast it into the fire, and there •^came out this calf. 25 IT And when M6'§es saw that the people were # naked; (for Aar'on h had made them naked unto their shame among 3 their ene- mies :) 26 Then Mo'ses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Le'vl gathered themselves together unto him. 27 And he said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Is'ra-el, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and % slay every man his brother, and every man his com- panion, and every man his neighbour. 28 And the children of Le'vl did accord- ing to the word of M6'§es : and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. 29 k 4 For Mo'se§ had said, 5 Consecrate your- selves to day to the Lord, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother ; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day. 30 IT And it came to pass on the morrow, that M6'§e§ said unto the people, l Ye have sinned a great sin : and now I will go up unto the Lord ; m peradventure I shall n make an atonement for your sin. 31 And Mo'ses ° returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have p made them gods of gold. 32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin — ; and if not, q blot me, I pray thee, r out of thy book which thou hast written. 33 And the Lord said unto Mo'ses, s Whoso- ever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. 34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee : i wilt send with me 102 ' behold, mine Angel shall go before thee : nevertheless u in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them. 35 And the Lord plagued the people, be- cause x they made the calf, which Aar'on made. CHAPTER 33. 1 The Lord refuseth to go as he had promised with the people. 4 The people murmur thereat. 7 The tabernacle is removed out of the camp. 9 The Lord talketh familiarly with Moses. 12 Moses desireth to see the glory of God. AND the Lord said unto Mo'§e§, Depart, x\. and go up hence, thou a and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of E'gypt, untothe land which I sware unto A'bra-ham, to I'saac, and to Ja'cob, saying, 6 Unto thy seed will I give it : 2 c And I will send an angel before thee ; ^and I will drive out the Ca'naan-Ite, the Am'o-rite, and the Hit'tite, and the Per'iz- zite, the Hi'vite, and the Jeb'u-site : 3 e Unto a land flowing with milk and honey : •^ for I will not go up in the midst of thee ; for thou art a 9 stiffnecked people : lest h I consume thee in the way. 4 IT And when the people heard these evil tidings, % they mourned : fc and no man did put on him his ornaments. 5 For the Lord had said unto Mo'ses, Say unto the children of Is'ra-el, l Ye are a stiff- necked people : I will come up m into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee : therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may ™know what to do unto thee. 6 And the children of Is'ra-el stripped them- selves of their ornaments by the mount H6'- reb. 7 And Mo'ses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, °and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which p sought the Lord went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp. 8 And it came to pass, when Mo'ses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man q at his tent door, and looked after Mo'§e§, until he was gone into the tabernacle. 9 And it came to pass, as M6'§es entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar de- scended, and stood at the door of the taber- nacle, and the Lord r talked with Mo'ses. 10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door : and all the peo- ple rose up and s worshipped, every man in his tent door. 11 xlnd Hhe Lord spake unto Mo's_es face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp : but u his servant J6sh'u-a, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. 12 IT And M6'se§ said unto the Lord, See, x thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people : and thou hast not let me know whom thou Yet thou hast said, y I The tables are renewed.

Sis it not in that thou goest with us? so 9 shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. 17 And the Lord said unto Mo'ses, h I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken : for Hhou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. 18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me | k thy glory. 19 And he said, 1 1 will make all my good- | ness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the i name of the Lord before thee ; m and will be I 71 gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. 20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face : for ° there shall no man see me, and live. 21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: 22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee p in a clift of the rock, and will q cover thee with my hand while I pass by : 23 And I will take away mine hand; and thou shalt see my back parts : but my face shall r not be seen. CHAPTER 34. 1 The tables are renewed. 5 The name of the Lord proclaimed. 8 Moses intreateth God to go with them. 10 God niaketh a cove- nant ivith them, repeating certain duties of the first table. 28 Moses after forty days in the mount comet It down with the tables. 2$ His face shineth, and he covereth it with a vail. AND the Lord said unto Mo'ses, a Hew Jf\. thee two tables of stone like unto the first : b and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest. 2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Si'nai, and present thyself there to me c in the top of the mount. 3 And no man shall cl come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount ; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount. 4 11 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Mo'sei=s rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sl'nai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone. 5 And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and e proclaimed the name of the Lord. 6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord ^God, mer- ciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abun- dant in 9 goodness and h truth, 7 l Keeping mercy for thousands, k forgiv- ing iniquity and transgression and sin, and 1 that will by no means clear the guilty ; visit- ing the iniquity of the fathers upon the chil- dren, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. 8 And Mo'§es made haste, and m bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. 9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, n let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us ; for ° it is a stiff necked people ; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for p thine inheritance. 10 IT And he said, Behold, q I make a cove- nant : before all thy people I will r do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation : and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the Lord : for it is s a terrible thing that I will do with thee. 11 * Observe thou that which I command thee this day : behold, u I drive out before thee the Am'o-rite, and the Ca'naan-ite, and the Hit'tlte, and the Per'iz-zlte, and the Hi'vite, and the Jeb'u-slte. 12 r Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for v a snare in the midst of thee : 13 But ye shall z destroy their altars, break their 2 images, and a cut down their groves : 14 For thou shalt worship 6 no other god: for the Lord, whose c name is Jealous, is a d jealous God : 15 s Lest thou make a covenant with the in- habitants of the land, and they f go a whor- and do sacrifice unto S'call thee, and thou /Num. 14. 18. 2 Chr. 30. 9.

So the people were restrained from bringing. 7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much. 8 IT f And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the taber- nacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet : with cheru- bims of cunning work made he them. 9 The length of one curtain ivas twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits : the curtains were all of one size. 10 And he coupled the five curtains one unto another : and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another. 11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the cou- pling : likewise he made in the uttermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of the second. 12 9 Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which was in the cou- pling of the second : the loops held one curtain to another. 13 And he made fifty Ex.

AND the Lord spake unto Mo'ses, saying, l. 2 On the first day of the a first month shalt thou set up b the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. 3 And c thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail. 4 And d thou shalt bring in the table, and e set in order 3 the things that are to be set in order upon it; ^and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps there- of. 5 g And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the taber- nacle. 6 And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. 7 And h thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein. 8 And thou shalt setup the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate. 9 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and 1 anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels there- of : and it shall be holy. 10 And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanc- tify the altar : and k it shall be an altar 2 most holy. 11 And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it. 12 ' And thou shaflt bring Aar'on and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water. 13 And thou shalt put upon Aar'on the holy garments, m and anoint him, and sanctify him ; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office. 14 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats : 15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office : for their anoint- ing shall surely be w an everlasting priest- hood throughout their generations. 16 Thus did Mo'ses: according to all that the Lord commanded him, so did he. 17 IT And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the ° tabernacle was reared up. 18 And M6'§es reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars. 19 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it ; as the Lord commanded Mo'ses. 20 IF And he took and put v the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark : 21 And he brought the ark into the taber- nacle, and q set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony ; as the Lord commanded M6'§e§. 22 IT r And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail. 23 s And he set the bread in order upon it before the Lord ; as the Lord had commanded Mo'ses. 24 IT * And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward. 25 And u he lighted the lamps before the Lord ; as the Lord commanded M6'§e§. 26 IT x And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail : 27 y And he burnt sweet incense thereon ; as the Lord commanded Mo'se§. 110 The work is finished.
