Exodus:2:11-4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass in that length of time ,
that Moses having grown ,
went out to his brethren the sons of Israel :
and having noticed their distress ,
he sees an Egyptian smiting a certain Hebrew of his brethren the children of Israel .
*
And having looked round this way and that way ,
he sees no one ;
and he smote the Egyptian ,
and hid him in the sand .
*
And having gone out the second day he sees two Hebrew men fighting ;
and he says to the injurer ,
Wherefore smitest thou thy neighbour ?
*
And he said ,
Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us ?
wilt thou slay me as thou yesterday slewest the Egyptian ?
Then Moses was alarmed ,
and said ,
If it be thus ,
this matter has become known .
*
And Pharao heard this matter ,
and sought to slay Moses ;
and Moses departed from the presence of Pharao ,
and dwelt in the land of Madiam ;
and having come into the land of Madiam ,
he sat on the well .
*
And the priest of Madiam had seven daughters ,
feeding the flock of their father Jothor ;
and they came and drew water until they filled their pitchers ,
to water the flock of their father Jothor .
*
And the shepherds came ,
and were driving them away ;
and Moses rose up and rescued them ,
and drew water for them ,
and watered their sheep .
*
And they came to Raguel their father ;
and he said to them ,
Why have ye come so quickly to-day ?
*
And they said ,
An Egyptian delivered us from the shepherds ,
and drew water for us and watered our sheep .
*
And he said to his daughters ,
And where is he ?
and why have ye left the man ?
call him therefore ,
that he may eat bread .
*
And Moses was established with the man ,
and he gave Sepphora his daughter to Moses to wife .
*
And the woman conceived and bore a son ,
and Moses called his name Gersam ,
saying ,
I am a sojourner in a strange land .
*
And in those days after a length of time ,
the king of Egypt died ;
and the children of Israel groaned because of their tasks ,
and cried ,
and their cry because of their tasks went up to God .
*
And God heard their groanings ,
and God remembered his covenant made with Abraam and Isaac and Jacob .
*
And God looked upon the children of Israel ,
and was made known to them .
*
And the Lord spoke all these words ,
saying :
*
I am the Lord thy God ,
who brought thee out of the land of Egypt ,
out of the house of bondage .
*
Thou shalt have no other gods beside me .
*
Thou shalt not make to thyself an idol ,
nor likeness of anything ,
whatever things are in the heaven above ,
and whatever are in the earth beneath ,
and whatever are in the waters under the earth .
*
Thou shalt not bow down to them ,
nor serve them ;
for I am the Lord thy God ,
a jealous God ,
recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children ,
to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me ,
*
and bestowing mercy on them that love me to thousands of them ,
and on them that keep my commandments .
*
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain ;
for the Lord thy God will not acquit him that takes his name in vain .
*
Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy .
*
Six days thou shalt labour ,
and shalt perform all thy work .
*
But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God ;
on it thou shalt do no work ,
thou ,
nor thy son ,
nor thy daughter ,
thy servant nor thy maidservant ,
thine ox nor thine ass ,
nor any cattle of thine ,
nor the stranger that sojourns with thee .
*
For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth ,
and the sea and all things in them ,
and rested on the seventh day ;
therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day ,
and hallowed it .
*
*
*
*
*
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour .
*
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour ’
s wife ;
thou shalt not covet thy neighbour ’
s house ;
nor his field ,
nor his servant ,
nor his maid ,
nor his ox ,
nor his ass ,
nor any of his cattle ,
nor whatever belongs to thy neighbour .

And all the people perceived the (
note :)
Or ,
saw the lightning ,
lit .
saw the voice (:

thundering ,
and the flashes ,
and the voice of the trumpet ,
and the mountain smoking ;
and all the people feared and stood afar off ,
*
and said to Moses ,
Speak thou to us ,
and let not God speak to us ,
lest we die .
*
And Moses says to them ,
Be of good courage ,
for God is come to you to try you ,
that his fear may be among you ,
that ye sin not .
*
And the people stood afar off ,
and Moses went into the darkness where God was .
*
And the Lord said to Moses ,
Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob ,
and thou shalt report it to the children of Israel ,
Ye have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven .
*
Ye shall not make to yourselves gods of silver ,
and gods of gold ye shall not make to yourselves .
*
Ye shall make to me an altar of earth ;
and upon it ye shall sacrifice your whole burnt-offerings ,
and your peace-offerings ,
and your sheep and your calves in every place ,
where I shall record my name ;
and I will come to thee and bless thee .
*
And if thou wilt make to me an altar of stones ,
thou shalt not build them hewn stones ;
for thou hast lifted up thy tool upon them ,
and they are defiled .
*
Thou shalt not go up to my altar by steps ,
that thou mayest not uncover thy nakedness upon it .
*
And these are the ordinances which thou shalt set before them .
*
If thou buy a Hebrew servant ,
six years shall he serve thee ,
and in the seventh year he shall go forth free for nothing .
*
If he should have come in alone ,
he shall also go forth alone ;
and if his wife should have gone in together with him ,
his wife also shall go out .
*
Moreover ,
if his master give him a wife ,
and she have born him sons or daughters ,
the wife and the children shall be his master ’
s ;
and he shall go forth alone .
*
And if the servant should answer and say ,
I love my master and wife and children ,
I (
note :)
Gr .
do not run away (:
note )
will not go away free ;
*
his master shall bring him to the judgement-seat of God ,
and then shall he bring him to the door , —
to the door-post ,
and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl ,
and he shall serve him for ever .
*
And if any one sell his daughter as a domestic ,
she shall not depart as the maid-servants depart .
*
If she be not pleasing to her master , (

Gr .
who has (:
note )
after she has betrothed herself to him ,
he shall let her go free ;
but he is not at liberty to sell her to a foreign nation ,
because he has trifled with her .
*
And if he should have betrothed her to his son ,
he shall do to her according to the right of daughters .
*
And if he take another to himself ,
he shall not deprive her of necessaries and her apparel ,
and her companionship with him .
*
And if he will not do these three things to her ,
she shall go out free without money .
*
And if any man smite another and he die ,
let him be certainly put to death .
*
But as for him that did it not willingly ,
but God delivered him into his hands ,
I will give thee a place whither the slayer may flee .
*
And if any one lie in wait for his neighbour to slay him by craft ,
and he go for refuge ,
thou shalt take him from my altar to put him to death .
*
Whoever smites his father or his mother ,
let him be certainly put to death .
*
He that reviles his father or his mother shall surely die .
*
Whosoever shall steal one of the children of Israel ,
and prevail over him and sell him ,
and he be found with him , (
note :)
Mt strkjv @
15:4 (:
note )
let him certainly die .
*
And if two men revile each other and smite the one the other with a stone or his fist ,
and he die not ,
but be laid upon his bed ;
*
if the man arise and walk abroad on his staff ,
he that smote him shall be clear ;
only he shall pay for his loss of time ,
and for his healing .
*
And if a man smite his man-servant or his maid-servant ,
with a rod ,
and the party die under his hands ,
he shall be surely punished .
*
But if the servant continue to live a day or two ,
let not the master be punished ;
for he is his money .
*
And if two men strive and smite a woman with child ,
and her child be born imperfectly formed ,
he shall be forced to pay a penalty :
as the woman ’
s husband may lay upon him ,
he shall pay with a valuation .
*
But if it be perfectly formed ,
he shall give life for life ,
*
*
burning for burning ,
wound for wound ,
stripe for stripe .
*
And if one smite the eye of his man-servant ,
or the eye of his maid-servant ,
and put it out ,
he shall let them go free for their eye ’
s sake .
*
And if he should smite out the tooth of his man-servant ,
or the tooth of his maid-servant ,
he shall send them away free for their tooth ’
s sake .
*
And if a bull gore a man or woman and (
note :)
Or ,
he or she die (:
note )
they die ,
the bull shall be stoned with stones ,
and his flesh shall not be eaten ;
but the owner of the bull shall be clear .
*
But if the bull should have been given to goring in former time ,
and men should have told his owner ,
and he have not removed him ,
but he should have slain a man or woman ,
the bull shall be stoned ,
and his owner shall die also .
*
And if a ransom should be imposed on him ,
he shall pay for the ransom of his soul as much as they shall lay upon him .
*
And if the bull gore a son or daughter ,
let them do to him according to this ordinance .
*
And if the bull gore a man-servant or maid-servant ,
he shall pay to their master thirty silver didrachms ,
and the bull shall be stoned .
*
And if any one open a pit or dig a cavity in stone ,
and cover it not ,
and an ox or an ass fall in there ,
*
the owner of the pit shall make compensation ;
he shall give money to their owner ,
and the dead shall be his own .
*
And if any man ’
s bull gore the bull of his neighbour ,
and it die ,
they shall sell the living bull and divide the money ,
and they shall divide the dead bull .
*
But if the bull be known to have been given to goring in time past ,
and they have testified to his owner ,
and he have not removed him ,
he shall repay bull for bull ,
but the dead shall be his own .
*
And if one steal (
note :)
Gr .
a calf (:
note )
an ox or a sheep ,
and kill it or sell it ,
he shall pay five calves for a calf ,
and four sheep for a sheep .
*
And if the thief be found in the breach made by himself and be smitten and die ,
there shall not be blood shed for him .
*
But if the sun be risen upon him ,
he is guilty ,
he shall die instead ;
and if (
note :)
Gr .
he (:
note )
a thief have nothing ,
let him be sold in compensation for what he has stolen .
*
And if the thing stolen be left and be in his hand alive ,
whether ox or sheep ,
he shall restore them two-fold .
*
And if any one should feed down a field or a vineyard ,
and should send in his beast to feed down another field ,
he shall make compensation of his own field according to his produce ;
and if he shall have fed down the whole field ,
he shall pay for compensation the best of his own field and the best of his vineyard .
*
And if fire have gone forth and caught thorns ,
and should also set on fire threshing-floors or ears of corn or a field ,
he that kindled the fire shall make compensation .
*
And if any one give to his neighbour money or goods to keep ,
and they be stolen out of the man ’
s house ,
if the thief be found he shall repay double .
*
But if the thief be not found ,
the master of the house shall come forward before God ,
and shall swear that surely he has not wrought wickedly in (

Gr .
over (:

regard of any part of his neighbour ’
s deposit ,
*
according to every injury alleged ,
both concerning a calf ,
and an ass ,
and a sheep ,
and a garment ,
and every alleged loss ,
whatsoever in fact it may be , —
the judgement of both shall proceed before God ,
and he that is convicted by God shall repay to his neighbour double .
*
And if any one give to his neighbour to keep a calf or sheep or any beast ,
and it be wounded or die or be taken ,
and no one know ,
*
an oath of God shall be between both ,
each swearing that he has surely not at all been guilty in the matter of his neighbour ’
s deposit ;
and so his master shall (
note :)
Gr .
accept him (:
note )
hold him guiltless ,
and he shall not make compensation .
*
And if it be stolen from him ,
he shall make compensation to the owner .
*
And if it be seized of beasts ,
he shall bring him to witness the prey ,
and he shall not make compensation .
*
And if any one borrow ought of his neighbour ,
and it be wounded or die or be carried away ,
and the owner of it be not with it ,
he shall make compensation .
*
But if the owner be with it ,
he shall not make compensation :
but if it be a (
note :)
Qy .
If the borrower be a hireling ,
he shall have the ruined beast instead of his hire ?(:
note )
hired thing ,
there shall be a compensation to him instead of his hire .
*
And if any one deceive a virgin that is not betrothed ,
and lie with her ,
he shall surely endow her for a wife to himself .
*
And if her father positively refuse ,
and will not consent to give her to him for a wife ,
he shall pay (
note :)
Gr .
money (:
note )
compensation to her father according to the amount of the dowry of virgins .
*
Ye shall not save the lives of sorcerers .
*
Every one that lies with a beast ye shall surely put to death .
*
He that sacrifices to any gods but to the Lord alone ,
shall be destroyed by death .
*
And ye shall not hurt a stranger ,
nor afflict him ;
for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt .
*
Ye shall hurt no widow or orphan .
*
And if ye should afflict them by ill-treatment ,
and they should cry aloud to me ,
I will surely hear their voice .
*
And I will be very angry ,
and will slay you with the sword ,
and your wives shall be widows and your children orphans .
*
And if thou shouldest lend money to thy poor brother who is by thee ,
thou shalt not be hard upon him thou shalt not exact usury of him .
*
And if thou take thy neighbour ’
s garment for a pledge ,
thou shalt restore it to him before sunset .
*
For this is his clothing ,
this is the only covering of his nakedness ;
wherein shall he sleep ?
If then he shall cry to me ,
I will hearken to him ,
for I am merciful .
*
*
Thou shalt not keep back the first-fruits of thy threshing floor and press .
The first-born of thy sons thou shalt give to me .
*
So shalt thou do with thy calf and thy sheep and thine ass ;
seven days shall it be under the mother ,
and the eighth day thou shalt give it to me .
*
And ye shall be holy men to me ;
and ye shall not eat flesh taken of beasts ,
ye shall cast it to the dog .
*
Thou shalt not receive a vain report :
thou shalt not agree with the unjust man to become an unjust witness .
*
Thou shalt not associate with the multitude for evil ;
thou shalt not join thyself with a multitude to turn aside with the majority so as to shut out judgement .
*
And thou shalt not spare a poor man in judgement .
*
And if thou meet thine enemy ’
s ox or his ass going astray ,
thou shalt turn them back and restore them to him .
*
And if thou see thine enemy ’
s ass fallen under its burden ,
thou shalt not pass by it ,
but shalt help to raise it with him .
*
Thou shalt not wrest the sentence of the poor in his judgement .
*
Thou shalt abstain from every unjust thing :
thou shalt not slay the innocent and just ,
and thou shalt not justify the wicked for gifts .
*
And thou shalt not receive gifts ;
for gifts blind the eyes of the seeing ,
and corrupt just words .
*
And ye shall not afflict a stranger ,
for ye know the heart of a stranger ;
for ye were yourselves strangers in the land of Egypt .
*
Six years thou shalt sow thy land ,
and gather in the fruits of it .
*
But in the seventh year thou shalt let it rest ,
and leave it ,
and the poor of thy nation shall feed ;
and the wild beasts of the field shall eat that which remains :
thus shalt thou do to thy vineyard and to thine oliveyard .
*
Six days shalt thou do thy works ,
and on the seventh day there shall be rest ,
that thine ox and thine ass may rest ,
and that the son of thy maid-servant and the stranger may be refreshed .
*
Observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you ;
and ye shall make no mention of the name of other gods ,
neither shall they be heard out of your mouth .
*
Keep ye a feast to me three times in the year .
*
Take heed to keep the feast of unleavened bread :
seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread ,
as I charged thee at the season of the month of new corn ,
for in it thou camest out of Egypt :
thou shalt not appear before me empty .
*
And thou shalt keep the feast of the harvest of first-fruits of thy labours ,
whatsoever thou shalt have sown in thy field ,
and the feast of completion at the end of the year in the gathering in of thy (
note :)
Gr .
works (:
note )
fruits out of thy field .
*
Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God .
*
For when I shall have cast out the nations from before thee ,
and shall have widened thy borders ,
thou shalt not offer the blood of my (
note :)
Gr .
incense offering (:
note )
sacrifice with leaven ,
neither must the fat of my feast abide till the morning .
*
Thou shalt bring the first-offerings of the first-fruits of thy land into the house of the Lord thy God .
Thou shalt not seethe a lamb in its mother ’
s milk .
*
And ,
behold ,
I send my angel before thy face ,
that he may keep thee in the way ,
that he may bring thee into the land which I have prepared for thee .
*
Take heed to thyself and hearken to him ,
and disobey him not ;
for he will not give way to thee ,
for my name is on him .
*
If ye will indeed hear my voice ,
and if thou wilt do all the things I shall charge thee with ,
and keep my covenant ,
ye shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations ,
for the whole earth is mine ;
and ye shall be to me a royal priesthood ,
and a holy nation :
these words shall ye speak to the children of Israel ,
If ye shall indeed hear my voice ,
and do all the things I shall tell thee ,
I will be an enemy to thine enemies ,
and an adversary to thine adversaries .
*
For my angel shall go as thy leader ,
and shall bring thee to the Amorite ,
and Chettite ,
and Pherezite ,
and Chananite ,
and Gergesite ,
and Evite ,
and Jebusite ,
and I will destroy them .
*
Thou shalt not worship their gods ,
nor serve them :
thou shalt not do according to their works ,
but shalt utterly destroy them ,
and break to pieces their pillars .
*
And thou shalt serve the Lord thy God ,
and I will bless thy bread and thy wine and thy water ,
and I will turn away sickness from you .
*
There shall not be on thy land one that is impotent or barren .
I will surely fulfil the number of thy days .
*
And I will send terror before thee ,
and I will strike with amazement all the nations to which thou shalt come ,
and I will make all thine enemies to flee .
*
And I will send hornets before thee ,
and thou shalt cast out the Amorites and the Evites ,
and the Chananites and the Chettites from thee .
*
I will not cast them out in one year ,
lest the land become desolate ,
and the beasts of the field multiply against thee .
*
By little and little I will cast them out from before thee ,
until thou shalt be increased and inherit the earth .
*
And I will set thy borders from the Red Sea ,
to the sea of the Phylistines ,
and from the wilderness to the great river Euphrates ;
and I will give into your hand those that dwell in the land ,
and will cast them out from thee .
*
Thou shalt make no covenant with them and their gods .
*
And they shall not dwell in thy land ,
lest they cause thee to sin against me ;
for if thou shouldest serve their gods ,
these will be an offence to thee .
*
And to Moses he said ,
Go up to the Lord ,
thou and Aaron and Nadab and Abiud ,
and seventy of the elders of Israel :
and they shall worship the Lord from a distance .
*
And Moses alone shall draw nigh to God ;
and they shall not draw nigh ,
and the people shall not come up with them .
*
And Moses went in and related to the people all the words of God and the ordinances ;
and all the people answered with one voice ,
saying ,
All the words which the Lord has spoken ,
we will do and (
note :)
Lit .
hearken (:
note )
be obedient .
*
And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord ;
and Moses rose up early in the morning ,
and built an altar under the mountain ,
and set up twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel .
*
And he sent forth the young men of the children of Israel ,
and they offered whole burnt-offerings ,
and they sacrificed young calves as a peace-offering to God .
*
And Moses took half the blood and poured it into bowls ,
and half the blood he poured out upon the altar .
*
And he took the book of the covenant and read it in the ears of the people ,
and they said ,
All things whatsoever the Lord has spoken we will do and hearken therein .
*
And (

Heb strkjv @

Moses took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people ,
and said ,
Behold the blood of the covenant ,
which the Lord has made with you concerning all these words .
*
And Moses went up ,
and Aaron ,
and Nadab and Abiud ,
and seventy of the elders of Israel .
*
And they saw the place where the God of Israel stood ;
and under his feet was as it were a work of sapphire slabs ,
and as it were the appearance of the firmament of heaven in its purity .
*
And of the chosen ones of Israel there was not even one missing ,
and they appeared in the (

where God was (:

place of God ,
and did eat and drink .
*
And the Lord said to Moses ,
Come up to me into the mountain ,
and be there ;
and I will give thee the tables of stone ,
the law and the commandments ,
which I have written to give them laws .
*
And Moses rose up and Joshua his attendant ,
and they went up into the mount of God .
*
And to the elders they said ,
Rest there till we return to you ;
and behold ,
Aaron and Or are with you :
if any man have a cause to be tried ,
let them go to them .
*
And Moses and Joshua went up to the mountain ,
and the cloud covered the mountain .
*
And the glory of God came down upon the mount Sina ,
and the cloud covered it six days ;
and the Lord called Moses on the seventh day out of the midst of the cloud .
*
And the appearance of the glory of the Lord was as burning fire on the top of the mountain ,
before the children of Israel .
*
And Moses went into the midst of the cloud ,
and went up to the mountain ,
and was there in the mountain forty days and forty nights .
*
And the Lord spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak to the children of Israel ,
and take first-fruits of all ,
who may be disposed in their heart to give ;
and ye shall take my first-fruits .
*
And this is the offering which ye shall take of them ;
gold and silver and brass ,
*
and blue ,
and purple ,
and double scarlet ,
and fine spun linen ,
and goats ’
hair ,
*
and rams ’
skins dyed red ,
and blue skins ,
and incorruptible wood ,
*
and oil for the light ,
incense for anointing oil ,
and for the composition of incense ,
*
and sardius stones ,
and stones for the carved work of the (

*
And thou shalt make me a sanctuary ,
and I will appear among you .
*
And thou shalt make for me according to all things which I shew thee in the mountain ;
even the pattern of the tabernacle ,
and the pattern of all its furniture :
so shalt thou make it .
*
And thou shalt make the ark of testimony of incorruptible wood ;
the length of two cubits and a half ,
and the breadth of a cubit and a half ,
and the height of a cubit and a half .
*
And thou shalt gild it with pure gold ,
thou shalt gild it within and without ;
and thou shalt make for it golden wreaths twisted round about .
*
And thou shalt cast for it four golden rings ,
and shalt put them on the four sides ;
two rings on the one side ,
and two rings on the other side .
*
And thou shalt make staves of incorruptible wood ,
and shalt gild them with gold .
*
And thou shalt put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark ,
to bear the ark with them .

The staves shall remain fixed in the rings of the ark .
*
And thou shalt put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give thee .
*
And thou shalt make a propitiatory ,
a lid of pure gold ;
the length of two cubits and a half ,
and the breadth of a cubit and a half .
*
And thou shalt make two cherubs graven in gold ,
and thou shalt put them on both sides of the propitiatory .
*
They shall be made ,
one cherub on this side ,
and another cherub on the other side of the propitiatory ;
and thou shalt make the two cherubs on the two sides .
*
The cherubs shall stretch forth their wings above ,
overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings ;
and their faces shall be toward each other ,
the faces of the cherubs shall be toward the propitiatory .
*
And thou shalt set the propitiatory on the ark above ,
and thou shalt put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give thee .
*
And I will make myself known to thee from thence ,
and I will speak to thee above the propitiatory between the two cherubs ,
which are upon the ark of testimony ,
even in all things which I shall charge thee concerning the children of Israel .
*
And thou shalt make a golden table of pure gold ,
in length two cubits ,
and in breadth a cubit ,
and in height a cubit and a half .
*
And thou shalt make for it golden wreaths twisted round about ,
and thou shalt make for it a crown of an hand-breadth round about .
*
And thou shalt make a twisted wreath for the crown round about .
*
And thou shalt make four golden rings ;
and thou shalt put the four rings upon the four parts of its feet under the crown .
*
And the rings shall be for bearings for the staves ,
that they may bear the table with them .
*
And thou shalt make the staves of incorruptible wood ,
and thou shalt gild them with pure gold ;
and the table shall be borne with them .
*
And thou shalt make its dishes and its censers ,
and its bowls ,
and its cups ,
with which thou shalt offer drink-offerings :
of pure gold shalt thou make them .
*
And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me continually .

And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold ;
thou shalt make the candlestick of graven work :
its stem and its branches ,
and its bowls and its knops and its lilies shall be of one piece .

And six branches proceeding sideways ,
three branches of the candlestick from one side of it ,
and three branches of the candlestick from the other side .
*
And three bowls fashioned like almonds ,
on each branch a knop and a lily ;
so to the six branches proceeding from the candlestick ,

and in the candlestick four bowls fashioned like almonds ,
in each branch knops and the flowers (
