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 thee ,
and return to my brethren who are in Egypt ,
that I may see whether they are yet alive .
And Jethro said to Moses ,
Go in peace .
*
And Jehovah said to Moses in Midian ,
Go ,
return to Egypt ;
for all the men are dead who sought thy life .
*
And Moses took his wife and his sons ,
and set them riding upon an ass ,
and he returned to the land of Egypt .
And Moses took the staff of God in his hand .
*
And Jehovah said to Moses ,
When thou goest to return to Egypt ,
see that thou do all the wonders before Pharaoh that I have put in thy hand .
And I will harden his heart ,
that he shall not let the people go .
*
And thou shalt say to Pharaoh ,
Thus saith Jehovah :
Israel is my son ,
my firstborn .
*
And I say to thee ,
Let my son go ,
that he may serve me .
And if thou refuse to let him go ,
behold ,
I will kill thy son ,
thy firstborn .
*
And it came to pass on the way ,
in the inn ,
that Jehovah came upon him ,
and sought to slay him .
*
Then Zipporah took a stone and cut off the foreskin of her son ,
and cast it at his feet ,
and said ,
A bloody husband indeed art thou to me !
*
And he let him go .
Then she said ,
A bloody husband --
because of the circumcision .
*
And Jehovah said to Aaron ,
Go into the wilderness to meet Moses .
And he went ,
and met him on the mountain of God ,
and kissed him .
*
And Moses told Aaron all the words of Jehovah who had sent him ,
and all the signs that he had commanded him .
*
And Moses and Aaron went and gathered all the elders of the children of Israel ;
*
and Aaron spoke all the words that Jehovah had spoken to Moses ,
and did the signs before the eyes of the people .
*
And the people believed .
And when they heard that Jehovah had visited the children of Israel ,
and that he had seen their affliction ,
then they bowed their heads and worshipped .
*
And Jehovah spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
*
On the day of the first month ,
on the first of the month ,
shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting .
*
And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony ,
and shalt cover the ark with the veil .
*
And thou shalt bring in the table ,
and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it .
And thou shalt bring in the candlestick and light its lamps .
*
And thou shalt set the golden altar for the incense before the ark of the testimony ;
and hang up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle .
*
And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting .
*
And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar ,
and shalt put water in it .
*
And thou shalt fix the court round about ,
and hang up the curtain at the gate of the court .
*
And thou shalt take the anointing oil ,
and anoint the tabernacle ,
and all that is in it ,
and shalt hallow it ,
and all its utensils ;
and it shall be holy .
*
And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering ,
and all its utensils ;
and thou shalt hallow the altar ,
and the altar shall be most holy .
*
And thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand ,
and hallow it .
*
And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons near ,
at the entrance of the tent of meeting ,
and bathe them with water .
*
And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments ,
and anoint him ,
and hallow him ,
that he may serve me as priest .
*
And thou shalt bring his sons near ,
and clothe them with vests .
*
And thou shalt anoint them ,
as thou didst anoint their father ,
that they may serve me as priests .
And their anointing shall be to them an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations .
*
And Moses did so :
as Jehovah had commanded him ,
so did he .
*
And it came to pass in the first month in the second year ,
on the first of the month ,
that the tabernacle was set up .
*
And Moses set up the tabernacle ,
and put in its bases ,
and fixed its boards ,
and put in its bars ,
and set up its pillars .
*
And he spread the tent over the tabernacle ,
and put the covering of the tent above over it ;
as Jehovah had commanded Moses .
*
And he took and put the testimony into the ark ,
and put the staves in the ark ,
and put the mercy-seat above on the ark .
*
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle ,
and hung up the veil of separation ,
and covered the ark of the testimony ;
as Jehovah had commanded Moses .
*
And he put the table in the tent of meeting ,
on the side of the tabernacle northward ,
outside the veil ,
*
and arranged the bread in order upon it before Jehovah ;
as Jehovah had commanded Moses .
*
And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting ,
opposite to the table ,
on the side of the tabernacle southward .
*
And he lighted the lamps before Jehovah ;
as Jehovah had commanded Moses .
*
And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil .
*
And he burnt on it fragrant incense ;
as Jehovah had commanded Moses .
*
And he hung up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle .
*
And he put the altar of burnt-offering at the entrance to the tabernacle of the tent of meeting ,
and offered on it the burnt-offering and the oblation ;
as Jehovah had commanded Moses .
*
And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar ,
and put water in it for washing .
*
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet out of it :
*
when they went into the tent of meeting ,
and when they drew near to the altar ,
they washed ;
as Jehovah had commanded Moses .
*
And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar ,
and hung up the curtain of the gate of the court .
And so Moses finished the work .
*
And the cloud covered the tent of meeting ,
and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle .
*
And Moses could not enter into the tent of meeting ,
for the cloud abode on it ,
and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle .
*
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle ,
the children of Israel journeyed in all their journeys .
*
And if the cloud were not taken up ,
then they did not journey until the day that it was taken up .
*
For the cloud of Jehovah was on the tabernacle by day ,
and fire was in it by night ,
before the eyes of all the house of Israel ,
throughout all their journeys .
