Exodus:4:18-6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law ,
and said to him ,
Let me go ,
I pray you ,
and return to my brothers which are in Egypt ,
and see whether they be yet alive .
And Jethro said to Moses ,
Go in peace .
*
And the LORD said to Moses in Midian ,
Go ,
return into Egypt :
for all the men are dead which sought your life .
*
And Moses took his wife and his sons ,
and set them on an ass ,
and he returned to the land of Egypt :
and Moses took the rod of God in his hand .
*
And the LORD said to Moses ,
When you go to return into Egypt ,
see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh ,
which I have put in your hand :
but I will harden his heart ,
that he shall not let the people go .
*
And you shall say to Pharaoh ,
Thus said the LORD ,
Israel is my son ,
even my firstborn :
*
And I say to you ,
Let my son go ,
that he may serve me :
and if you refuse to let him go ,
behold ,
I will slay your son ,
even your firstborn .
*
And it came to pass by the way in the inn ,
that the LORD met him ,
and sought to kill him .
*
Then Zipporah took a sharp stone ,
and cut off the foreskin of her son ,
and cast it at his feet ,
and said ,
Surely a bloody husband are you to me .
*
So he let him go :
then she said ,
A bloody husband you are ,
because of the circumcision .
*
And the LORD said to Aaron ,
Go into the wilderness to meet Moses .
And he went ,
and met him in the mount of God ,
and kissed him .
*
And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him ,
and all the signs which he had commanded him .
*
And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel :
*
And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses ,
and did the signs in the sight of the people .
*
And the people believed :
and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel ,
and that he had looked on their affliction ,
then they bowed their heads and worshipped .
*
And the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
*
On the first day of the first month shall you set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation .
*
And you shall put therein the ark of the testimony ,
and cover the ark with the veil .
*
And you shall bring in the table ,
and set in order the things that are to be set in order on it ;
and you shall bring in the candlestick ,
and light the lamps thereof .
*
And you shall set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony ,
and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle .
*
And you shall set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation .
*
And you shall set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar ,
and shall put water therein .
*
And you shall set up the court round about ,
and hang up the hanging at the court gate .
*
And you shall take the anointing oil ,
and anoint the tabernacle ,
and all that is therein ,
and shall hallow it ,
and all the vessels thereof :
and it shall be holy .
*
And you shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering ,
and all his vessels ,
and sanctify the altar :
and it shall be an altar most holy .
*
And you shall anoint the laver and his foot ,
and sanctify it .
*
And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation ,
and wash them with water .
*
And you shall put on Aaron the holy garments ,
and anoint him ,
and sanctify him ;
that he may minister to me in the priest '
office .
*
And you shall bring his sons ,
and clothe them with coats :
*
And you shall anoint them ,
as you did anoint their father ,
that they may minister to me in the priest '
office :
for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations .
*
Thus did Moses :
according to all that the LORD commanded him ,
so did he .
*
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 .
*
And Moses 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 .
*
And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle ,
and put the covering of the tent above on it ;
as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
And he took and put the testimony into the ark ,
and set the staves on the ark ,
and put the mercy seat above on the ark :
*
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle ,
and set up the veil of the covering ,
and covered the ark of the testimony ;
as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
And he put the table in the tent of the congregation ,
on the side of the tabernacle northward ,
without the veil .
*
And he set the bread in order on it before the LORD ;
as the LORD had commanded Moses .
*
And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation ,
over against the table ,
on the side of the tabernacle southward .
*
And he lighted the lamps before the LORD ;
as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the veil :
*
And he burnt sweet incense thereon ;
as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle .
*
And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation ,
and offered on it the burnt offering and the meat offering ;
as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar ,
and put water there ,
to wash with .
*
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat :
*
When they went into the tent of the congregation ,
and when they came near to the altar ,
they washed ;
as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar ,
and set up the hanging of the court gate .
So Moses finished the work .
*
Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation ,
and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle .
*
And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation ,
because the cloud stayed thereon ,
and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle .
*
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle ,
the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys :
*
But if the cloud were not taken up ,
then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up .
*
For the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day ,
and fire was on it by night ,
in the sight of all the house of Israel ,
throughout all their journeys .
