+
+THE BOOK OF EXODUS
+
+The Second Book of Moses is called EXODUS, from the Greek word EXODOS,
+which signifies going out: because it contains the history of the going
+out of the children of Israel out of Egypt. The Hebrews, from the words
+with which it begins, call it VEELLE SEMOTH: These are the names. It
+contains transactions for 145 years; that is, from the death of Joseph
+to the erecting of the tabernacle.
+
+
+Exodus Chapter 1
+
+The Israelites are multiplied in Egypt. They are oppressed by a new
+king, who commandeth all their male children to be killed.
+
+1:1. These are the names of the children of Israel, that went into Egypt
+with Jacob: they went in every man with his household:
+
+1:2. Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Juda,
+
+1:3. Issachar, Zabulon, and Benjamin,
+
+1:4. Dan, and Nephthali, Gad and Aser.
+
+1:5. And all the souls that came out of Jacob's thigh, were seventy: but
+Joseph was in Egypt.
+
+1:6. After he was dead, and all his brethren, and all that generation,
+
+1:7. The children of Israel increased, and sprung up into multitudes,
+and growing exceedingly strong they filled the land.
+
+1:8. In the mean time there arose a new king over Egypt, that knew not
+Joseph:
+
+1:9. And he said to his people: Behold the people of the children of
+Israel are numerous and stronger than we.
+
+1:10. Come let us wisely oppress them, lest they multiply: and if any
+war shall rise against us, join with our enemies, and having overcome
+us, depart out of the land.
+
+1:11. Therefore he set over them masters of the works, to afflict them
+with burdens: and they built for Pharao cities of tabernacles, Phithom,
+and Ramesses.
+
+Of tabernacles... Or, of storehouses.
+
+1:12. But the more they oppressed them, the more they were multiplied
+and increased.
+
+1:13. And the Egyptians hated the children of Israel, and afflicted them
+and mocked them:
+
+1:14. And they made their life bitter with hard works in clay and brick,
+and with all manner of service, wherewith they were overcharged in the
+works of the earth.
+
+1:15. And the king of Egypt spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews: of
+whom one was called Sephora, the other Phua,
+
+1:16. Commanding them: When you shall do the office of midwives to the
+Hebrew women, and the time of delivery is come: if it be a man child,
+kill it: if a woman, keep it alive.
+
+1:17. But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt
+had commanded, but saved the men children.
+
+1:18: And the king called for them and said: What is it that you meant
+to do, that you would save the men children?
+
+1:19. They answered: The Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women: for
+they themselves are skilful in the office of a midwife; and they are
+delivered before we come to them.
+
+1:20. Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people
+multiplied and grew exceedingly strong.
+
+1:21. And because the midwives feared God, he built them houses.
+
+Because the midwives feared God, etc... The midwives were rewarded, not
+for their lie, which was a venial sin; but for their fear of God, and
+their humanity: but this reward was only temporal, in building them
+houses, that is, in establishing and enriching their families.
+
+1:22. Pharao therefore charged all his people, saying: Whatsoever shall
+be born of the male sex, ye shall cast into the river: whatsoever of the
+female, ye shall save alive.
+
+Exodus Chapter 2
+
+Moses is born and exposed on the bank of the river; where he is taken up
+by the daughter of Pharao, and adopted for her son. He killeth an
+Egyptian, and fleeth into Madian; where he marrieth a wife.
+
+2:1. After this there went a man of the house of Levi; and took a wife
+of his own kindred.
+
+2:2. And she conceived, and bore a son: and seeing him a goodly child,
+hid him three months.
+
+2:3. And when she could hide him no longer, she took a basket made of
+bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and pitch: and put the little babe
+therein, and laid him in the sedges by the river's brink,
+
+2:4. His sister standing afar off, and taking notice what would be done.
+
+2:5. And behold the daughter of Pharao came down to wash herself in the
+river: and her maids walked by the river's brink. And when she saw the
+basket in the sedges she sent one of her maids for it: and when it was
+brought,
+
+2:6. She opened it, and seeing within it an infant crying, having
+compassion on it, she said: This is one of the babes of the Hebrews.
+
+2:7. And the child's sister said to her: Shall I go, and call to thee a
+Hebrew woman, to nurse the babe?
+
+2:8. She answered: Go. The maid went and called her mother.
+
+2:9. And Pharao's daughter said to her: Take this child, and nurse him
+for me: I will give thee thy wages.  The woman took and nursed the
+child: and when he was grown up, she delivered him to Pharao's daughter.
+
+2:10. And she adopted him for a son, and called him Moses, saying:
+Because I took him out of the water.
+
+Moses... Or Moyses, in the Egyptian tongue, signifies one taken or saved
+out of the water.
+
+2:11. In those days, after Moses was grown up, he went out to his
+brethren: and saw their affliction, and an Egyptian striking one of the
+Hebrews, his brethren.
+
+2:12. And when he had looked about this way and that way, and saw no one
+there, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
+
+He slew the Egyptian... This he did by a particular inspiration of God;
+as a prelude to his delivering the people from their oppression and
+bondage. He thought, says St. Stephen, Acts 7.25, that his brethren
+understood that God by his hand would save them. But such particular and
+extraordinary examples are not to be imitated.
+
+2:13. And going out the next day, he saw two Hebrews quarrelling: and he
+said to him that did the wrong: Why strikest thou thy neighbour?
+
+2:14. But he answered: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us?
+wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian? Moses
+feared, and said: How is this come to be known?
+
+2:15. And Pharao heard of this word, and sought to kill Moses: but he
+fled from his sight, and abode in the land of Madian, and he sat down by
+a well.
+
+Madian... A city and country of Arabia, which took its name from Madian
+the son of Abraham, by Cetura, and was peopled by his posterity.
+
+2:16. And the priest of Madian had seven daughters, who came to draw
+water: and when the troughs were filled, desired to water their father's
+flocks.
+
+2:17. And the shepherds came and drove them away: and Moses arose, and
+defending the maids, watered their sheep.
+
+2:18: And when they returned to Raguel their father, he said to them:
+Why are ye come sooner than usual?
+
+Raguel... He had two names, being also called Jethro, as appears from
+the first verse of the following chapter.
+
+2:19. They answered: A man of Egypt delivered us from the hands of the
+shepherds: and he drew water also with us, and gave the sheep to drink.
+
+2:20. But he said: Where is he? why have you let the man go? call him
+that he may eat bread.
+
+2:21. And Moses swore that he would dwell with him.  And he took Sephora
+his daughter to wife:
+
+2:22. And she bore him a son, whom he called Gersam, saying: I have been
+a stranger in a foreign country.  And she bore another, whom he called
+Eliezer, saying: For the God of my father, my helper, hath delivered me
+out of the hand of Pharao.
+
+Gersam... Or Gershom. This name signifies a stranger there: as Eliezer
+signifies the help of God.
+
+2:23. Now after a long time the king of Egypt died: and the children of
+Israel groaning, cried out because of the works: and their cry went up
+unto God from the works.
+
+2:24. And he heard their groaning, and remembered the covenant which he
+made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
+
+2:25. And the Lord looked upon the children of Israel, and he knew them.
+
+Knew them... That is, he had respect to them, he cast a merciful eye
+upon them.
+
+Exodus Chapter 3
+
+God appeareth to Moses in a bush, and sendeth him to deliver Israel.
+
+
+3:1. Now Moses fed the sheep of Jethro, his father in law, the priest of
+Madian: and he drove the flock to the inner parts of the desert, and
+came to the mountain of God, Horeb.
+
+3:2. And the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of
+a bush: and he saw that the bush was on fire, and was not burnt.
+
+The Lord appeared... That is, an angel representing God, and speaking in
+his name.
+
+3:3. And Moses said: I will go, and see this great sight, why the bush
+is not burnt.
+
+3:4. And when the Lord saw that he went forward to see, he called to him
+out of the midst of the bush and said: Moses, Moses. And he answered:
+Here I am.
+
+3:5. And he said: Come not nigh hither, put off the shoes from thy feet;
+for the place, whereon thou standest, is holy ground.
+
+3:6. And he said: I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the
+God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.  Moses hid his face: for he durst
+not look at God.
+
+3:7. And the Lord said to him: I have seen the affliction of my people
+in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of the rigour of them that
+are over the works;
+
+3:8. And knowing their sorrow, I am come down to deliver them out of the
+hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land into a good
+and spacious land, into a land that floweth with milk and honey, to the
+places of the Chanaanite, and Hethite, and Amorrhite, and Pherezite, and
+Hevite, and Jebusite.
+
+3:9. For the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have
+seen their affliction, wherewith they are oppressed by the Egyptians.
+
+3:10. But come, and I will send thee to Pharao, that thou mayst bring
+forth my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.
+
+3:11. And Moses said to God: Who am I that I should go to Pharao, and
+should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
+
+3:12. And he said to him: I will be with thee; and this thou shalt have
+for a sign that I have sent thee: When thou shalt have brought my people
+out of Egypt, thou shalt offer sacrifice to God upon this mountain.
+
+3:13. Moses said to God: Lo, I shall go to the children of Israel, and
+say to them: The God of your fathers hath sent me to you. If they shall
+say to me: What is his name? What shall I say to them?
+
+3:14. God said to Moses: I AM WHO AM. He said: Thus shalt thou say to
+the children of Israel: HE WHO IS, hath sent me to you.
+
+I am who am... That is, I am being itself, eternal, self-existent,
+independent, infinite; without beginning, end, or change; and the source
+of all other beings.
+
+3:15. And God said again to Moses: Thus shalt thou say to the children
+of Israel: The Lord God of your fathers the God of Abraham, the God of
+Isaac, and the God of Jacob hath sent me to you; this is my name for
+ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
+
+3:16. Go and gather together the ancients of Israel, and thou shalt say
+to them: The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of
+Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared to me, saying: Visiting I
+have visited you; and I have seen all that hath befallen you in Egypt.
+
+3:17. And I have said the word to bring you forth out of the affliction
+of Egypt, into the land of the Chanaanite, and Hethite, and Amorrhite,
+and Pherezite, and Hevite, and Jebusite, to a land that floweth with
+milk and honey.
+
+3:18: And they shall hear thy voice; and thou shalt go in, thou and the
+ancients of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and thou shalt say to him: The
+Lord God of the Hebrews hath called us; we will go three days' journey
+into the wilderness, to sacrifice unto the Lord our God.
+
+3:19. But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, but by a
+mighty hand.
+
+3:20. For I will stretch forth my hand, and will strike Egypt with all
+my wonders which I will do in the midst of them: after these he will let
+you go.
+
+3:21. And I will give favour to this people, in the sight of the
+Egyptians: and when you go forth, you shall not depart empty:
+
+3:22. But every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that is in
+her house, vessels of silver and of gold, and raiment: and you shall put
+them on your sons and daughters, and shall spoil Egypt.
+
+Shall spoil, etc... That is, you shall strip, and take away the goods of
+the Egyptians. This was not authorizing theft or injustice; but was a
+just disposal made by Him, who is the great lord and master of all
+things, in order to pay the children of Israel some part of what was due
+to them from the Egyptians for their labours.
+
+Exodus Chapter 4
+
+Moses is empowered to confirm his mission with miracles: his brother
+Aaron is appointed to assist him.
+
+4:1. Moses answered, and said: They will not believe me, nor hear my
+voice, but they will say: The Lord hath not appeared to thee.
+
+4:2. Then he said to him: What is that thou holdest in thy hand? He
+answered: A rod.
+
+4:3. And the Lord said: Cast it down upon the ground.  He cast it down,
+and it was turned into a serpent, so that Moses fled from it.
+
+4:4. And the Lord said: Put out thy hand, and take it by the tail. He
+put forth his hand, and took hold of it, and it was turned into a rod.
+
+4:5. That they may believe, saith he, that the Lord God of their
+fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,
+hath appeared to thee.
+
+4:6. And the Lord said again: Put thy hand into thy bosom. And when he
+had put it into his bosom, he brought it forth leprous as snow.
+
+4:7. And he said: Put back thy hand into thy bosom.  He put it back, and
+brought it out again, and it was like the other flesh.
+
+4:8. If they will not believe thee, saith he, nor hear the voice of the
+former sign, they will believe the word of the latter sign.
+
+4:9. But if they will not even believe these two signs, nor hear thy
+voice: take of the river water, and pour it out upon the dry land, and
+whatsoever thou drawest out of the river, shall be turned into blood.
+
+4:10. Moses said: I beseech thee, Lord, I am not eloquent from yesterday
+and the day before; and since thou hast spoken to thy servant, I have
+more impediment and slowness of tongue.
+
+4:11. The Lord said to him: Who made man's mouth?  or who made the dumb
+and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? did not I?
+
+4:12. Go therefore, and I will be in thy mouth; and I will teach thee
+what thou shalt speak.
+
+4:13. But he said: I beseech thee, Lord, send whom thou wilt send.
+
+4:14. The Lord being angry at Moses, said: Aaron the Levite is thy
+brother, I know that he is eloquent: behold he cometh forth to meet
+thee, and seeing thee, shall be glad at heart.
+
+4:15. Speak to him, and put my words in his mouth: and I will be in thy
+mouth, and in his month, and will shew you what you must do.
+
+4:16. He shall speak in thy stead to the people, and shall be thy mouth:
+but thou shalt be to him in those things that pertain to God.
+
+4:17. And take this rod in thy hand wherewith thou shalt do the signs.
+
+4:18: Moses went his way, and returned to Jethro his father in law, and
+said to him; I will go and return to my brethren into Egypt, that I may
+see if they be yet alive. And Jethro said to him: Go in peace.
+
+4:19. And the Lord said to Moses, in Madian: Go, and return into Egypt;
+for they are all dead that sought thy life.
+
+4:20. Moses therefore took his wife, and his sons, and set them upon an
+ass; and returned into Egypt, carrying the rod of God in his hand.
+
+4:21. And the Lord said to him as he was returning into Egypt: See that
+thou do all the wonders before Pharao, which I have put in thy hand: I
+shall harden his heart, and he will not let the people go.
+
+I shall harden, etc... Not by being the efficient cause of his sin; but
+by withdrawing from him, for his just punishment, the dew of grace that
+might have softened his heart; and so suffering him to grow harder and
+harder.
+
+4:22. And thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Israel is my son,
+my firstborn.
+
+4:23. I have said to thee: Let my son go, that he may serve me, and thou
+wouldst not let him go: behold I will kill thy son, thy firstborn.
+
+4:24. And when he was in his journey, in the inn, the Lord met him, and
+would have killed him.
+
+The Lord met him, and would have killed him... This was an angel
+representing the Lord, who treated Moses in this manner, for having
+neglected the circumcision of his younger son; which his wife
+understanding, circumcised her child upon the spot, upon which the angel
+let Moses go.
+
+4:25. Immediately Sephora took a very sharp stone, and circumcised the
+foreskin of her son, and touched his feet, and said: A bloody spouse art
+thou to me.
+
+4:26. And he let him go after she had said: A bloody spouse art thou to
+me, because of the circumcision.
+
+4:27. And the Lord said to Aaron: Go into the desert to meet Moses. And
+he went forth to meet him in the mountain of God, and kissed him.
+
+4:28. And Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord, by which he had
+sent him, and the signs that he had commanded.
+
+4:29. And they came together, and they assembled all the ancients of the
+children of Israel.
+
+4:30. And Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had said to Moses:
+and he wrought the signs before the people.
+
+4:31. And the people believed. And they heard that the Lord had visited
+the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction:
+and falling down they adored.
+
+Exodus Chapter 5
+
+Pharao refuseth to let the people go. They are more oppressed.
+
+5:1. After these things, Moses and Aaron went in, and said to Pharao:
+Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Let my people go, that they may
+sacrifice to me in the desert.
+
+5:2. But he answered: Who is the Lord, that I should hear his voice, and
+let Israel go? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go.
+
+5:3. And they said: The God of the Hebrews hath called us, to go three
+days' journey into the wilderness, and to sacrifice to the Lord our God;
+lest a pestilence or the sword fall upon us.
+
+5:4. The king of Egypt said to them: Why do you Moses and Aaron draw off
+the people from their works?  Get you gone to your burdens.
+
+5:5. And Pharao said: The people of the land are numerous; you see that
+the multitude is increased; how much more if you give them rest from
+their works?
+
+5:6. Therefore he commanded the same day the overseers of the works, and
+the task-masters of the people, saying:
+
+5:7. You shall give straw no more to the people to make brick, as
+before; but let them go and gather straw.
+
+5:8. And you shall lay upon them the task of bricks, which they did
+before; neither shall you diminish any thing thereof, for they are idle,
+and therefore they cry. saying: Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
+
+5:9. Let them be oppressed with works, and let them fulfil them; that
+they may not regard lying words.
+
+5:10. And the overseers of the works, and the taskmasters, went out and
+said to the people: Thus saith Pharao: I allow you no straw;
+
+5:11. Go, and gather it where you can find it; neither shall any thing
+of your work be diminished.
+
+5:12. And the people was scattered through all the land of Egypt to
+gather straw.
+
+5:13. And the overseers of the works pressed them, saying: Fulfil your
+work every day, as before ye were wont to do, when straw was given you.
+
+5:14. And they that were over the works of the children of Israel, were
+scourged by Pharao's taskmasters, saying: Why have you not made up the
+task of bricks, both yesterday and to day, as before?
+
+5:15. And the officers of the children of Israel came, and cried out to
+Pharao, saying: Why dealest thou so with thy servants?
+
+5:16. Straw is not given us, and bricks are required of us as before;
+behold we, thy servants, are beaten with whips, and thy people is
+unjustly dealt withal.
+
+5:17. And he said: You are idle, and therefore you say: Let us go and
+sacrifice to the Lord.
+
+5:18: Go therefore and work: straw shall not be given you, and you shall
+deliver the accustomed number of bricks.
+
+5:19. And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in
+evil case, because it was said to them: There shall not a whit be
+diminished of the bricks for every day.
+
+5:20. And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood over against them as they
+came out from Pharao:
+
+5:21. And they said to them: The Lord see and judge, because you have,
+made our savour to stink before Pharao and his servants, and you have
+given him a sword, to kill us.
+
+5:22. And Moses returned to the Lord, and said: Lord, why hast thou
+afflicted this people? wherefore hast thou sent me?
+
+5:23. For since the time that I went in to Pharao to speak in thy name,
+he hath afflicted thy people: and thou hast not delivered them.
+
+Exodus Chapter 6
+
+God reneweth his promise. The genealogies of Ruben, Simon and Levi, down
+to Moses and Aaron.
+
+6;1. And the Lord said to Moses: Now thou shalt see what I will do to
+Pharao: for by a mighty hand shall he let them go, and with a strong
+hand shall he cast them out of his land.
+
+6:2. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: I am the Lord
+
+6:3. That appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of
+God Almighty: and my name ADONAI I did not shew them.
+
+My name Adonai... The name, which is in the Hebrew text, is that most
+proper name of God, which signifieth his eternal, self-existent being,
+Ex. 3.14, which the Jews out of reverence never pronounce; but, instead
+of it, whenever it occurs in the Bible, they read Adonai, which
+signifies the Lord; and, therefore, they put the points or vowels, which
+belong to the name Adonai, to the four letters of that other ineffable
+name Jod, He, Vau, He. Hence some moderns have framed the name Jehovah,
+unknown to all the ancients, whether Jews or Christians; for the true
+pronunciation of the name, which is in the Hebrew text, by long disuse,
+is now quite lost.
+
+6:4. And I made a covenant with them, to give them the land of Chanaan,
+the land of their pilgrimage wherein they were strangers.
+
+6:5. I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, wherewith the
+Egyptians have oppressed them: and I have remembered my covenant.
+
+6:6. Therefore say to the children of lsrael: I am the Lord who will
+bring you out from the work-prison of the Egyptians, and will deliver
+you from bondage: and redeem you with a high arm, and great judgments.
+
+6:7. And I will take you to myself for my people, I will be your God:
+and you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from
+the work-prison of the Egyptians:
+
+6:8. And brought you into the land, concerning which I lifted up my hand
+to give it to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: and I will give it you to
+possess: I am the Lord.
+
+6:9. And Moses told all this to the children of Israel: but they did not
+hearken to him, for anguish of spirit, and most painful work.
+
+6:10. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
+
+6:11. Go in, and speak to Pharao king of Egypt, that he let the children
+of Israel go out of his land.
+
+6:12. Moses answered before the Lord: Behold the children of Israel do
+not hearken to me: and how will Pharao hear me, especially as I am of
+uncircumcised lips?
+
+Uncircumcised lips... So he calls the defect he had in his words, or
+utterance.
+
+6:13. And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and he gave them a charge
+unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharao the king of Egypt, that
+they should bring forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
+
+6:14. These are the heads of their houses by their families. The sons of
+Ruben the firstborn of Israel: Henoch and Phallu, Hesron and Charmi.
+
+6:15. These are the kindreds of Ruben. The sons of Simeon, Jamuel and
+Jamin, and Ahod, and Jachin, and Soar, and Saul the son of a
+Chanaanitess: these are the families of Simeon.
+
+6:16. And these are the names of the sons of Levi by their kindreds:
+Gerson, and Caath, and Merari. And the years of the life of Levi were a
+hundred and thirty-seven.
+
+
+6:17. The sons of Gerson: Lobni and Semei, by their kindreds.
+
+6:18: The sons of Caath: Amram, and Isaar, and Hebron and Oziel. And the
+years of Caath's life, were a hundred and thirty-three.
+
+6:19. The sons of Merari: Moholi and Musi. These are the kindreds of
+Levi by their families.
+
+6:20. And Amram took to wife Jochabed his aunt by the father's side: and
+she bore him Aaron and Moses.  And the years of Amram's life, were a
+hundred and thirty-seven.
+
+6:21. The sons also of Isaar: Core, and Nepheg, and Zechri.
+
+6:22. The sons also of Oziel: Mizael, and Elizaphan, and Sethri.
+
+6:23. And Aaron took to wife Elizabeth the daughter of Aminadab, sister
+of Nahason, who bore him Nadab, and Abiu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
+
+6:24. The sons also of Core: Aser, and Elcana, and Abiasaph. These are
+the kindreds of the Corites.
+
+6:25. But Eleazar the son of Aaron took a wife of the daughters of
+Phutiel: and she bore him Phinees. These are the heads of the Levitical
+families by their kindreds.
+
+6:26. These are Aaron and Moses, whom the Lord commanded to bring forth
+the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their companies.
+
+6:27. These are they that speak to Pharao, king of Egypt, in order to
+bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and
+Aaron,
+
+6:28. In the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt.
+
+6:29. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: I am the Lord; speak thou to
+Pharao, king of Egypt, all that I say to thee.
+
+6:30. And Moses said before the Lord: Lo I am of uncircumcised lips, how
+will Pharao hear me?
+
+Exodus Chapter 7
+
+Moses and Aaron go into Pharao: they turn the rod into a serpent; and
+the waters of Egypt into blood, which was the first plague. The
+magicians do the like, and Pharao's heart is hardened.
+
+7:1. And the Lord said to Moses: Behold, I have appointed thee the god
+of Pharao; and Aaron, thy brother, shall be thy prophet.
+
+The god of Pharao... Viz., to be his judge; and to exercise a divine
+power, as God's instrument, over him and his people.
+
+7:2. Thou shalt speak to him all that I command thee; and he shall speak
+to Pharao, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
+
+7:3. But I shall harden his heart, and shall multiply my signs and
+wonders in the land of Egypt.
+
+I shall harden, etc... not by being the efficient cause of his hardness
+of heart, but by permitting it; and by withdrawing grace from him, in
+punishment of his malice; which alone was the proper cause of his being
+hardened.
+
+7:4. And he will not hear you: and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and
+will bring forth my army and my people, the children of Israel, out of
+the land of Egypt, by very great judgments.
+
+7:5. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, who have stretched
+forth my hand upon Egypt, and have brought forth the children of Israel
+out of the midst of them.
+
+7:6. And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had commanded; so did they.
+
+7:7. And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three, when they
+spoke to Pharao.
+
+7:8. And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
+
+7:9. When Pharao shall say to you, Shew signs; thou shalt say to Aaron:
+Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharao, and it shall be turned
+into a serpent.
+
+7:10. So Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharao, and did as the Lord had
+commanded. And Aaron took the rod before Pharao and his servants, and it
+was turned into a serpent.
+
+7:11. And Pharao called the wise men and the magicians; and they also by
+Egyptian enchantments and certain secrets, did in like manner.
+
+Magicians... Jannes, and Mambres, or Jambres, 2 Tim. 3.8.
+
+7:12. And they every one cast down their rods, and they were turned into
+serpents: but Aaron's rod devoured their rods.
+
+7:13. And Pharao's heart was hardened, and he did not hearken to them,
+as the Lord had commanded.
+
+7:14. And the Lord said to Moses: Pharao's heart is hardened, he will
+not let the people go.
+
+7:15. Go to him in the morning, behold he will go out to the waters: and
+thou shalt stand to meet him on the bank of the river: and thou shalt
+take in thy hand the rod that was turned into a serpent.
+
+7:16. And thou shalt say to him: The Lord God of the Hebrews sent me to
+thee, saying: Let my people go to sacrifice to me in the desert: and
+hitherto thou wouldst not hear.
+
+7:17. Thus therefore saith the Lord: In this thou shalt know that I am
+the Lord: behold I will strike with the rod, that is in my hand, the
+water of the river, and it shall be turned into blood.
+
+7:18: And the fishes that are in the river, shall die, and the waters
+shall be corrupted, and the Egyptians shall be afflicted when they drink
+the water of the river.
+
+7:19. The Lord also said to Moses: Say to Aaron, Take thy rod; and
+stretch forth thy hand upon the waters of Egypt, and upon their rivers,
+and streams and pools, and all the ponds of waters, that they may be
+turned into blood: and let blood be in all the land of Egypt, both in
+vessels of wood and of stone.
+
+7:20. And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had commanded: and lifting up
+the rod, he struck the water of the river before Pharao and his
+servants: and it was turned into blood.
+
+7:21. And the fishes that were in the river died; and the river
+corrupted, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river, and
+there was blood in all the land of Egypt.
+
+7:22. And the magicians of the Egyptians with their enchantments did in
+like manner; and Pharao's heart was hardened, neither did he hear them,
+as the Lord had commanded.  7:23. And he turned himself away, and went
+into his house, neither did he set his heart to it this time also.
+
+7:24. And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to
+drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
+
+7:25. And seven days were fully ended, after that the Lord struck the
+river.
+
+Exodus Chapter 8
+
+The second plague is of frogs: Pharao promiseth to let the Israelites
+go, but breaketh his promise. The third plague is of sciniphs.  The
+fourth is of flies. Pharao again promiseth to dismiss the people, but
+doth it not.
+
+8:1. And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and thou shalt say to
+him: Thus saith the Lord: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
+
+8:2. But if thou wilt not let them go, behold I will strike all thy
+coasts with frogs.
+
+8:3. And the river shall bring forth an abundance of frogs; which shall
+come up and enter into thy house, and thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed,
+and into the houses of thy servants, and to thy people, and into thy
+ovens, and into the remains of thy meats:
+
+8:4. And the frogs shall come in to thee, and to thy people, and to all
+thy servants.
+
+8:5. And the Lord said to Moses: Say to Aaron: Stretch forth thy hand
+upon the streams, and upon the rivers and the pools, and bring forth
+frogs upon the land of Egypt.
+
+8:6. And Aaron stretched forth his hand upon the waters of Egypt, and
+the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
+
+8:7. And the magicians also, by their enchantments, did in like manner,
+and they brought forth frogs upon the land of Egypt.
+
+8:8. But Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: Pray ye to the
+Lord to take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let
+the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.
+
+Pray ye to the Lord, etc... By this it appears, that though the
+magicians, by the help of the devil, could bring frogs, yet they could
+not take them away: God being pleased to abridge in this the power of
+Satan. So we see they could not afterwards produce the lesser insects;
+and in this restraint of the power of the devil, were forced to
+acknowledge the finger of God.
+
+8:9. And Moses said to Pharao: Set me a time when I shall pray for thee,
+and for thy servants, and for thy people, that the frogs may be driven
+away from thee and from thy house, and from thy servants, and from thy
+people; and may remain only in the river.
+
+8:10. And he answered: To morrow. But he said: I will do according to
+thy word; that thou mayest know that there is none like to the Lord our
+God.
+
+8:11. And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy house, and from
+thy servants, and from thy people; and shall remain only in the river.
+
+8:12. And Moses and Aaron went forth from Pharao: and Moses cried to the
+Lord for the promise, which he had made to Pharao concerning the frogs.
+
+8:13. And the Lord did according to the word of Moses: and the frogs
+died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields:
+
+8:14. And they gathered them together into immense heaps, and the land
+was corrupted.
+
+8:15. And Pharao seeing that rest was given, hardened his own heart, and
+did not hear them, as the Lord had commanded.
+
+Pharao hardened his own heart... By this we see that Pharao was himself
+the efficient cause of his heart being hardened, and not God.-See the
+same repeated in ver. 32. Pharao hardened his heart at this time also:
+likewise chap. 9.7, 35, and chap. 13.15.
+
+8:16. And the Lord said to Moses: Say to Aaron: Stretch forth thy rod,
+and strike the dust of the earth; and may there be sciniphs in all the
+land of Egypt.
+
+Sciniphs... Or Cinifs, Hebrew Chinnim, small flying insects, very
+troublesome both to men and beast.
+
+8:17. And they did so. And Aaron stretched forth his hand, holding the
+rod; and he struck the dust of the earth, and there came sciniphs on men
+and on beasts: all the dust of the earth was turned into sciniphs
+through all the land of Egypt.
+
+8:18: And the magicians with their enchantments practised in like
+manner, to bring forth sciniphs, and they could not: and there were
+sciniphs as well on men as on beasts.
+
+8:19. And the magicians said to Pharao: This is the finger of God. And
+Pharao's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord
+had commanded.
+
+8:20. The Lord also said to Moses: Arise early, and stand before Pharao;
+for he will go forth to the waters: and thou shalt say to him: Thus
+saith the Lord: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
+
+8:21. But if thou wilt not let them go, behold I will send in upon thee,
+and upon thy servants, and upon thy houses, all kind of flies: and the
+houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with flies of divers kinds, and
+the whole land wherein they shall be.
+
+8:22. And I will make the land of Gessen wonderful in that day, so that
+flies shall not be there: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord in the
+midst of the earth.
+
+8:23. And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to
+morrow shall this sign be.
+
+8:24. And the Lord did so. And there came a very grievous swarm of flies
+into the houses of Pharao and of his servants, and into all the land of
+Egypt: and the land was corrupted by this kind of flies.
+
+8:25. And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: Go and
+sacrifice to your God in this land.
+
+8:26. And Moses said: It cannot be so: for we shall sacrifice the
+abominations of the Egyptians to the Lord our God: now if we kill those
+things which the Egyptians worship, in their presence, they will stone
+us.
+
+The abominations, etc... That is, the things they worship for Gods:
+oxen, rams, etc. It is the usual style of the scriptures to call all
+idols and false gods, abominations, to signify how much the people of
+God ought to detest and abhor them.
+
+8:27. We will go three days' journey into the wilderness; and we will
+sacrifice to the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
+
+8:28. And Pharao said: I will let you go to sacrifice to the Lord your
+God in the wilderness, but go no farther: pray for me.
+
+8:29. And Moses said: I will go out from thee, and will pray to the
+Lord: and the flies shall depart from Pharao, and from his servants, and
+from his people to morrow: but do not deceive any more, in not letting
+the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.
+
+8:30. So Moses went out from Pharao, and prayed to the Lord.
+
+8:31. And he did according to his word: and he took away the flies from
+Pharao, and from his servants, and from his people: there was not left
+so much as one.
+
+8:32. And Pharao's heart was hardened, so that neither this time would
+he let the people go.
+
+Exodus Chapter 9
+
+The fifth plague is a murrain among the cattle. The sixth, of boils in
+men and beasts. The seventh, of hail. Pharao promiseth again to let the
+people go, and breaketh his word.
+
+9:1. And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and speak to him: Thus
+saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
+
+9:2. But if thou refuse, and withhold them still:
+
+9:3. Behold my hand shall be upon thy fields; and a very grievous
+murrain upon thy horses, and asses, and camels, and oxen, and sheep.
+
+9:4. And the Lord will make a wonderful difference between the
+possessions of Israel and the possessions of the Egyptians, that nothing
+at all shall die of those things that belong to the children of Israel.
+
+9:5. And the Lord appointed a time, saying: To morrow will the Lord do
+this thing in the land.
+
+9:6. The Lord therefore did this thing the next day: and all the beasts
+of the Egyptians died, but of the beasts of the children of Israel there
+died not one.
+
+All the beasts... That is, many of all kinds.
+
+9:7. And Pharao sent to see; and there was not any thing dead of that
+which Israel possessed. And Pharao's heart was hardened, and he did not
+let the people go.
+
+9:8. And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: Take to you handfuls of ashes
+out of the chimney, and let Moses sprinkle it in the air in the presence
+of Pharao.
+
+9:9. And be there dust upon all the land of Egypt: for there shall be
+boils and swelling blains both in men and beasts, in the whole land of
+Egypt.
+
+9:10. And they took ashes out of the chimney, and stood before Pharao,
+and Moses sprinkled it in the air; and there came boils with swelling
+blains in men and beasts.
+
+9:11. Neither could the magicians stand before Moses, for the boils that
+were upon them, and in all the land of Egypt.
+
+
+9:12. And the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, and he hearkened not unto
+them, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
+
+Hardened, etc... See the annotations above, chap. 4.21, chap. 7.3, and
+chap. 8.15.
+
+9:13. And the Lord said to Moses: Arise in the morning, and stand before
+Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord, the God of the
+Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
+
+9:14. For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and
+upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayst know that there
+is none like me in all the earth.
+
+9:15. For now I will stretch out my hand to strike thee, and thy people,
+with pestilence, and thou shalt perish from the earth.
+
+9:16. And therefore have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in
+thee, and my name may be spoken of throughout all the earth.
+
+9:17. Dost thou yet hold back my people; and wilt thou not let them go?
+
+9:18: Behold I will cause it to rain to morrow at this same hour, an
+exceeding great hail; such as hath not been in Egypt from the day that
+it was founded, until this present time.
+
+9:19. Send therefore now presently, and gather together thy cattle, and
+all that thou hast in the field; for men and beasts, and all things that
+shall be found abroad, and not gathered together out of the fields which
+the hail shall fall upon, shall die.
+
+9:20. He that feared the word of the Lord among Pharao's servants, made
+his servants and his cattle flee into houses:
+
+9:21. But he that regarded not the word of the Lord, left his servants,
+and his cattle in the fields.
+
+9:22. And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand towards heaven,
+that there may be hail in the whole land of Egypt upon men, and upon
+beasts, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.
+
+9:23. And Moses stretched forth his rod towards heaven, and the Lord
+sent thunder and hail, and lightnings running along the ground: and the
+Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
+
+9:24. And the hail and fire mixt with it drove on together: and it was
+of so great bigness, as never before was seen in the whole land of Egypt
+since that nation was founded.
+
+9:25. And the hail destroyed through all the land of Egypt all things
+that were in the fields, both man and beast: and the hail smote every
+herb of the field, and it broke every tree of the country.
+
+9:26. Only in the land of Gessen, where the children of Israel were, the
+hail fell not.
+
+9:27. And Pharao sent and called Moses and Aaron, saying to them: I have
+sinned this time also, the Lord is just: I and my people, are wicked.
+
+9:28. Pray ye to the Lord that the thunderings of God and the hail may
+cease: that I may let you go, and that ye may stay here no longer.
+
+9:29. Moses said: As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will stretch
+forth my hands to the Lord, and the thunders shall cease, and the hail
+shall be no more: that thou mayst know that the earth is the Lord's:
+
+9:30. But I know that neither thou, nor thy servants do yet fear the
+Lord God.
+
+9:31. The flax therefore, and the barley were hurt, because the barley
+was green, and the flax was now bolled;
+
+9:32. But the wheat, and other winter corn were not hurt, because they
+were lateward.
+
+9:33. And when Moses was gone from Pharao out of the city, he stretched
+forth his hands to the Lord: and the thunders and the hail ceased,
+neither did there drop any more rain upon the earth.
+
+9:34. And Pharao seeing that the rain, and the hail, and the thunders
+were ceased, increased his sin:
+
+9:35. And his heart was hardened, and the heart of his servants, and it
+was made exceeding hard: neither did he let the children of Israel go,
+as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
+
+Exodus Chapter 10
+
+The eighth plague of the locusts. The ninth, of darkness: Pharao is
+still hardened.
+
+10:1. And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao; for I have hardened
+his heart, and the heart of his servants: that I may work these my signs
+in him,
+
+10:2. And thou mayst tell in the ears of thy sons, and of thy grandsons,
+how often I have plagued the Egyptians, and wrought my signs amongst
+them: and you may know that I am the Lord.
+
+10:3. Therefore Moses and Aaron went in to Pharao, and said to him: Thus
+saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long refusest thou to submit to
+me? let my people go, to sacrifice to me.
+
+10:4. But if thou resist, and wilt not let them go, behold I will bring
+in to-morrow the locusts into thy coasts;
+
+10:5. To cover the face of the earth, that nothing thereof may appear,
+but that which the hail hath left may be eaten: for they shall feed upon
+all the trees that spring in the fields.
+
+10:6. And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of thy servants,
+and of all the Egyptians: such a number as thy fathers have not seen,
+nor thy grandfathers, from the time they were first upon the earth,
+until this present day. And he turned himself away, and went forth from
+Pharao.
+
+10:7. And Pharao's servants said to him: How long shall we endure this
+scandal? Iet the men go to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Dost thou
+not see that Egypt is undone?
+
+10:8. And they called back Moses, and Aaron, to Pharao; and he said to
+them: Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God: who are they that shall go?
+
+10:9. Moses said: We will go with our young and old, with our sons and
+daughters, with our sheep and herds: for it is the solemnity of the Lord
+our God.
+
+10:10. And Pharao answered: So be the Lord with you, as I shall let you
+and your children go: who can doubt but that you intend some great evil?
+
+10:11. It shall not be so, but go ye men only, and sacrifice to the
+Lord: for this yourselves also desired. And immediately they were cast
+out from Pharao's presence.
+
+10:12. And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand upon the land
+of Egypt unto the locust, that it come upon it, and devour every herb
+that is left after the hail.
+
+10:13. And Moses stretched forth his rod upon the land of Egypt: and the
+Lord brought a burning wind all that day, and night; and when it was
+morning, the burning wind raised the locusts.
+
+10:14. And they came up over the whole land of Egypt; and rested in all
+the coasts of the Egyptians, innumerable, the like as had not been
+before that time, nor shall be hereafter.
+
+10:15. And they covered the whole face of the earth, wasting all things.
+And the grass of the earth was devoured, and what fruits soever were on
+the trees, which the hail had left; and there remained not any thing
+that was green on the trees, or in the herbs of the earth, in all Egypt.
+
+10:16. Wherefore Pharao in haste called Moses and Aaron, and said to
+them: I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
+
+10:17. But now forgive me my sin this time also, and pray to the Lord
+your God, that he take away from me this death.
+
+10:18: And Moses going forth from the presence of Pharao, prayed to the
+Lord:
+
+10:19. And he made a very strong wind to blow from the west, and it took
+the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea: there remained not so much
+as one in all the coasts of Egypt.
+
+10:20. And the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, neither did he let the
+children of Israel go.
+
+10:21. And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch out thy hand towards heaven:
+and may there be darkness upon the land of Egypt so thick that it may be
+felt.
+
+Darkness upon the land of Egypt, so thick that it may be felt... By
+means of the gross exhalations, which were to cause and accompany the
+darkness.
+
+10:22. And Moses stretched forth his hand towards heaven: and there came
+horrible darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.
+
+10:23. No man saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the place where
+he was: but wheresoever the children of Israel dwelt, there was light.
+
+10:24. And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: Go,
+sacrifice to the Lord: let your sheep only, and herds remain, let your
+children go with you.
+
+10:25. Moses said: Thou shalt give us also sacrifices and burnt-
+offerings, to the Lord our God.
+
+10:26. All the flocks shall go with us; there shall not a hoof remain of
+them: for they are necessary for the service of the Lord our God:
+especially as we know not what must be offered, till we come to the very
+place.
+
+10:27. And the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, and he would not let them
+go.
+
+10:28. And Pharao said to Moses: Get thee from me, and beware thou see
+not my face any more: in what day soever thou shalt come in my sight,
+thou shalt die.
+
+10:29. Moses answered: So shall it be as thou hast spoken, I will not
+see thy face anymore.
+
+Exodus Chapter 11
+
+Pharao and his people are threatened with the death of their firstborn.
+
+11:1. And the Lord said to Moses: Yet one plague more will I bring upon
+Pharao and Egypt, and after that he shall let you go, and thrust you
+out.
+
+11:2. Therefore thou shalt tell all the people, that every man ask of
+his friend, and every woman of her neighbour, vessels of silver and of
+gold.
+
+11:3. And the Lord will give favour to his people in the sight of the
+Egyptians. And Moses was a very great man in the land of Egypt, in the
+sight of Pharao's servants, and of all the people.
+
+11:4. And he said: Thus saith the Lord: At midnight I will enter into
+Egypt:
+
+11:5. And every firstborn in the land of the Egyptians shall die, from
+the firstborn of Pharao who sitteth on his throne, even to the firstborn
+of the handmaid that is at the mill, and all the firstborn of beasts.
+
+11:6. And there shall be a great cry in all the land of Egypt, such as
+neither hath been before, nor shall be hereafter.
+
+11:7. But with all the children of Israel there shall not a dog make the
+least noise, from man even to beast; that you may know how wonderful a
+difference the Lord maketh between the Egyptians and Israel.
+
+11:8. And all these thy servants shall come down to me, and shall
+worship me, saying: Go forth thou, and all the people that is under
+thee: after that we will go out.
+
+11:9. And he went out from Pharao exceeding angry.  But the Lord said to
+Moses: Pharao will not hear you, that many signs may be done in the land
+of Egypt.
+
+11:10. And Moses and Aaron did all the wonders that are written, before
+Pharao. And the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, neither did he let the
+children of Israel go out of his land.
+
+The Lord hardened, etc... See the annotations above, chap. 4.21, and
+chap. 7.3.
+
+Exodus Chapter 12
+
+The manner of preparing, and eating the paschal lamb: the firstborn of
+Egypt are all slain: the Israelites depart.
+
+12:1. And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt:
+
+12:2. This month shall be to you the beginning of months; it shall be
+the first in the months of the year.
+
+12:3. Speak ye to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, and say
+to them: On the tenth day of this month let every man take a lamb by
+their families and houses.
+
+12:4. But if the number be less than may suffice to eat the lamb, he
+shall take unto him his neighbour that joineth to his house, according
+to the number of souls which may be enough to eat the lamb.
+
+12:5. And it shall be a lamb without blemish, a male, of one year;
+according to which rite also you shall take a kid.
+
+A kid... The phase might be performed, either with a lamb or with a kid:
+and all the same rites and ceremonies were to be used with the one as
+with the other.
+
+12:6. And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; and
+the whole multitude of the children of Israel shall sacrifice it in the
+evening.
+
+12:7. And they shall take of the blood thereof, and put it upon both the
+side posts, and on the upper door posts of the houses, wherein they
+shall eat it.
+
+12:8. And they shall eat the flesh that night roasted at the fire, and
+unleavened bread with wild lettuce.
+
+12:9. You shall not eat thereof any thing raw, nor boiled in water, but
+only roasted at the fire; you shall eat the head with the feet and
+entrails thereof.
+
+12:10. Neither shall there remain any thing of it until morning. If
+there be any thing left, you shall burn it with fire.
+
+12:11. And thus you shall eat it: you shall gird your reins, and you
+shall have shoes on your feet, holding staves in your hands, and you
+shall eat in haste; for it is the Phase (that is the Passage) of the
+Lord.
+
+12:12. And I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and will
+kill every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast: and
+against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments; I am the Lord.
+
+12:13. And the blood shall be unto you for a sign in the houses where
+you shall be; and I shall see the blood, and shall pass over you; and
+the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I shall strike the
+land of Egypt.
+
+12:14. And this day shall be for a memorial to you; and you shall keep
+it a feast to the Lord in your generations, with an everlasting
+observance.
+
+12:15. Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread: in the first day there
+shall be no leaven in your houses; whosoever shall eat any thing
+leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall
+perish out of Israel.
+
+12:16. The first day shall be holy and solemn, and the seventh day shall
+be kept with the like solemnity: you shall do no work in them, except
+those things that belong to eating.
+
+12:17. And you shall observe the feast of the unleavened bread: for in
+this same day I will bring forth your army out of the land of Egypt, and
+you shall keep this day in your generations by a perpetual observance.
+
+12:18: The first month, the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening,
+you shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the
+same month, in the evening.
+
+Unleavened bread... By this it appears, that our Saviour made use of
+unleavened bread, in the institution of the blessed sacrament, which was
+on the evening of the paschal solemnity, at which time there was no
+leavened bread to be found in Israel.
+
+12:19. Seven days there shall not be found any leaven in your houses: he
+that shall eat leavened bread, his soul shall perish out of the assembly
+of Israel, whether he be a stranger or born in the land.
+
+12:20. You shall not eat any thing leavened: in all your habitations you
+shall eat unleavened bread.
+
+12:21. And Moses called all the ancients of the children of Israel, and
+said to them: Go take a lamb by your families, and sacrifice the Phase.
+
+12:22. And dip a bunch of hyssop in the blood that is at the door, and
+sprinkle the transom of the door therewith, and both the door cheeks:
+let none of you go out of the door of his house till morning.
+
+Sprinkle, etc... This sprinkling the doors of the Israelites with the
+blood of the paschal lamb, in order to their being delivered from the
+sword of the destroying angel, was a lively figure of our redemption by
+the blood of Christ.
+
+12:23. For the Lord will pass through striking the Egyptians: and when
+he shall see the blood on the transom, and on both the posts, he will
+pass over the door of the house, and not suffer the destroyer to come
+into your houses and to hurt you.
+
+12:24. Thou shalt keep this thing as a law for thee and thy children for
+ever.
+
+12:25. And when you have entered into the land which the Lord will give
+you, as he hath promised, you shall observe these ceremonies.
+
+12:26. And when your children shall say to you: What is the meaning of
+this service?
+
+12:27. You shall say to them: It is the victim of the passage of the
+Lord, when he passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt,
+striking the Egyptians, and saving our houses. And the people bowing
+themselves, adored.
+
+12:28. And the children of Israel going forth, did as the Lord had
+commanded Moses and Aaron.
+
+12:29. And it came to pass at midnight, the Lord slew every firstborn in
+the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharao, who sat on his throne,
+unto the firstborn of the captive woman that was in the prison, and all
+the firstborn of cattle.
+
+12:30. And Pharao arose in the night, and all his servants, and all
+Egypt: and there arose a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house
+wherein there lay not one dead.
+
+12:31. And Pharao calling Moses and Aaron, in the night, said: Arise and
+go forth from among my people, you and the children of Israel: go,
+sacrifice to the Lord as you say.
+
+12:32. Your sheep and herds take along with you, as you demanded, and
+departing bless me.
+
+12:33. And the Egyptians pressed the people to go forth out of the land
+speedily, saying: We shall all die.
+
+12:34. The people therefore took dough before it was leavened; and tying
+it in their cloaks, put it on their shoulders.
+
+12:35. And the children of Israel did as Moses had commanded: and they
+asked of the Egyptians vessels of silver and gold, and very much
+raiment.
+
+12:36. And the Lord gave favour to the people in the sight of the
+Egyptians, so that they lent unto them: and they stripped the Egyptians.
+
+12:37. And the children of Israel set forward from Ramesse to Socoth,
+being about six hundred thousand men on foot, beside children.
+
+12:38. And a mixed multitude, without number, went up also with them,
+sheep and herds, and beasts of divers kinds, exceeding many.
+
+12:39. And they baked the meal, which a little before they had brought
+out of Egypt in dough: and they made hearth cakes unleavened: for it
+could not be leavened, the Egyptians pressing them to depart, and not
+suffering them to make any stay; neither did they think of preparing any
+meat.
+
+12:40. And the abode of the children of Israel that they made in Egypt,
+was four hundred and thirty years.
+
+12:41. Which being expired, the same day all the army of the Lord went
+forth out of the land of Egypt.
+
+12:42. This is the observable night of the Lord, when he brought them
+forth out of the land of Egypt: this night all the children of Israel
+must observe in their generations.
+
+12:43. And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: This is the service of the
+Phase; no foreigner shall eat of it.
+
+12:44. But every bought servant shall be circumcised, and so shall eat.
+
+12:45. The stranger and the hireling shall not eat thereof.
+
+12:46. In one house shall it be eaten, neither shall you carry forth of
+the flesh thereof out of the house, neither shall you break a bone
+thereof.
+
+12:47. All the assembly of the children of Israel shall keep it.
+
+12:48. And if any stranger be willing to dwell among you, and to keep
+the Phase of the Lord, all his males shall first be circumcised, and
+then shall he celebrate it according to the manner: and he shall be as
+he that is born in the land: but if any man be uncircumcised, he shall
+not eat thereof.
+
+12:49. The same law shall be to him that is born in the land, and to the
+proselyte that sojourneth with you.
+
+12:50. And all the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded
+Moses and Aaron.
+
+12:51. And the same day the Lord brought forth the children of Israel
+out of the land of Egypt by their companies.
+
+Exodus Chapter 13
+
+The paschal solemnity is to be observed; and the firstborn are to be
+consecrated to God. The people are conducted through the desert by a
+pillar of fire in the night, and a cloud in the day.
+
+13:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
+
+13:2. Sanctify unto me every firstborn that openeth the womb among the
+children of Israel, as well of men as of beasts: for they are all mine.
+
+Sanctify unto me every firstborn... Sanctification in this place means
+that the firstborn males of the Hebrews should be deputed to the
+ministry in the divine worship; and the firstborn of beasts to be given
+for a sacrifice.
+
+13:3. And Moses said to the people: Remember this day in which you came
+forth out of Egypt, and out of the house of bondage, for with a strong
+hand hath the Lord brought you forth out of this place: that you eat no
+leavened bread.
+
+13:4. This day you go forth in the month of new corn.
+
+13:5. And when the Lord shall have brought thee into the land of the
+Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and the Hevite, and the
+Jebusite, which he swore to thy fathers that he would give thee, a land
+that floweth with milk and honey, thou shalt celebrate this manner of
+sacred rites in this month.
+
+13:6. Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day
+shall be the solemnity of the Lord.
+
+13:7. Unleavened bread shall you eat seven days: there shall not be seen
+any thing leavened with thee, nor in all thy coasts.
+
+13:8. And thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying: This is what the
+Lord did to me when I came forth out of Egypt.
+
+13:9. And it shall be as a sign in thy hand, and as a memorial before
+thy eyes; and that the law of the Lord be always in thy mouth, for with
+a strong hand the Lord hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
+
+13:10. Thou shalt keep this observance at the set time from days to
+days.
+
+13:11. And when the Lord shall have brought thee into the land of the
+Chanaanite, as he swore to thee and thy fathers, and shall give it thee:
+
+13:12. Thou shalt set apart all that openeth the womb for the Lord, and
+all that is first brought forth of thy cattle: whatsoever thou shalt
+have of the male sex, thou shalt consecrate to the Lord.
+
+13:13. The firstborn of an ass thou shalt change for a sheep: and if
+thou do not redeem it, thou shalt kill it. And every firstborn of men
+thou shalt redeem with a price.
+
+13:14. And when thy son shall ask thee to morrow, saying: What is this?
+thou shalt answer him: With a strong hand did the Lord bring us forth
+out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
+
+13:15. For when Pharao was hardened, and would not let us go, the Lord
+slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of man to
+the firstborn of beasts: therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that
+openeth the womb of the male sex, and all the firstborn of my sons I
+redeem.
+
+13:16. And it shall be as a sign in thy hand, and as a thing hung
+between thy eyes, for a remembrance: because the Lord hath brought us
+forth out of Egypt by a strong hand.
+
+13:17. And when Pharao had sent out the people, the Lord led them not by
+the way of the land of the Philistines, which is near; thinking lest
+perhaps they would repent, if they should see wars arise against them,
+and would return into Egypt.
+
+13:18: But he led them about by the way of the desert, which is by the
+Red Sea: and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of
+Egypt.
+
+13:19. And Moses took Joseph's bones with him: because he had adjured
+the children of Israel, saying: God shall visit you, carry out my bones
+from hence with you.
+
+13:20. And marching from Socoth, they encamped in Etham, in the utmost
+coasts of the wilderness.
+
+13:21. And the Lord went before them to shew the way, by day in a pillar
+of a cloud, and by night in a pillar of fire; that he might be the guide
+of their journey at both times.
+
+13:22. There never failed the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar
+of fire by night, before the people.
+
+Exodus Chapter 14
+
+Pharao pursueth the children of Israel. They murmur against Moses, but
+are encouraged by him, and pass through the Red Sea. Pharao and his army
+following them are drowned.
+
+14:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
+
+14:2. Speak to the children of Israel: Let them turn and encamp over
+against Phihahiroth, which is between Magdal and the sea over against
+Beelsephon: you shall encamp before it upon the sea.
+
+14:3. And Pharao will say of the children of Israel: They are straitened
+in the land, the desert hath shut them in.
+
+14:4. And I shall harden his heart and he will pursue you: and I shall
+be glorified in Pharao, and in all his army: and the Egyptians shall
+know that I am the Lord.  And they did so.
+
+14:5. And it was told the king of the Egyptians that the people was
+fled: and the heart of Pharao and of his servants was changed with
+regard to the people, and they said: What meant we to do, that we let
+Israel go from serving us?
+
+14:6. So he made ready his chariot, and took all his people with him.
+
+14:7. And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots that
+were in Egypt: and the captains of the whole army.
+
+14:8. And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, king of Egypt, and he
+pursued the children of Israel; but they were gone forth in a mighty
+hand.
+
+14:9. And when the Egyptians followed the steps of them who were gone
+before, they found them encamped at the sea side: all Pharao's horse and
+chariots and the whole army were in Phihahiroth, before Beelsephon.
+
+14:10. And when Pharao drew near, the children of Israel lifting up
+their eyes, saw the Egyptians behind them: and they feared exceedingly,
+and cried to the Lord.
+
+14:11. And they said to Moses: Perhaps there were no graves in Egypt,
+therefore thou hast brought us to die in the wilderness: why wouldst
+thou do this, to lead us out of Egypt?
+
+14:12. Is not this the word that we spoke to thee in Egypt, saying:
+Depart from us, that we may serve the Egyptians? for it was much better
+to serve them, than to die in the wilderness.
+
+14:13. And Moses said to the people: Fear not: stand, and see the great
+wonders of the Lord, which he will do this day; for the Egyptians, whom
+you see now, you shall see no more for ever.
+
+14:14. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.
+
+14:15. And the Lord said to Moses: Why criest thou to me? Speak to the
+children of Israel to go forward.
+
+14:16. But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch forth thy hand over the
+sea, and divide it: that the children of Israel may go through the midst
+of the sea on dry ground.
+
+14:17. And I will harden the heart of the Egyptians to pursue you: and I
+will be glorified in Pharao, and in all his host, and in his chariots
+and in his horsemen.
+
+14:18: And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall be
+glorified in Pharao, and in his chariots, and in his horsemen.
+
+14:19. And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel,
+removing, went behind them: and together with him the pillar of the
+cloud, leaving the forepart,
+
+14:20. Stood behind, between the Egyptians' camp and the camp of Israel:
+and it was a dark cloud, and enlightening the night, so that they could
+not come at one another all the night.
+
+A dark cloud, and enlightening the night... It was a dark cloud to the
+Egyptians; but enlightened the night to the Israelites by giving them a
+great light.
+
+14:21. And when Moses had stretched forth his hand over the sea, the
+Lord took it away by a strong and burning wind blowing all the night,
+and turned it into dry ground: and the water was divided.
+
+14:22. And the children of Israel went in through the midst of the sea
+dried up; for the water was as a wall on their right hand and on their
+left.
+
+14:23. And the Egyptians pursuing went in after them, and all Pharao's
+horses, his chariots and horsemen, through the midst of the sea.
+
+14:24. And now the morning watch was come, and behold the Lord looking
+upon the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, slew
+their host.
+
+14:25. And overthrew the wheels of the chariots, and they were carried
+into the deep. And the Egyptians said: Let us flee from Israel; for the
+Lord fighteth for them against us.
+
+14:26. And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand over the sea,
+that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots
+and horsemen.
+
+14:27. And when Moses had stretched forth his hand towards the sea, it
+returned at the first break of day to the former place: and as the
+Egyptians were fleeing away, the waters came upon them, and the Lord
+shut them up in the middle of the waves.
+
+14:28. And the waters returned, and covered the chariots and the
+horsemen of all the army of Pharao, who had come into the sea after
+them, neither did there so much as one of them remain.
+
+14:29. But the children of Israel marched through the midst of the sea
+upon dry land, and the waters were to them as a wall on the right hand
+and on the left:
+
+14:30. And the Lord delivered Israel in that day out of the hands of the
+Egyptians.
+
+14:31. And they saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore, and the
+mighty hand that the Lord had used against them: and the people feared
+the Lord, and they believed the Lord, and Moses his servant.
+
+Exodus Chapter 15
+
+The canticle of Moses. The bitter waters of Mara are made sweet.
+
+15:1. Then Moses and the children of Israel sung this canticle to the
+Lord, and said: Let us sing to the Lord: for he is gloriously magnified,
+the horse and the rider he hath thrown into the sea.
+
+15:2. The Lord is my strength and my praise, and he is become salvation
+to me: he is my God, and I will glorify him: the God of my father, and I
+will exalt him.
+
+15:3. The Lord is as a man of war, Almighty is his name.
+
+15:4. Pharao's chariots and his army he hath cast into the sea: his
+chosen captains are drowned in the Red Sea.
+
+15:5. The depths have covered them, they are sunk to the bottom like a
+stone.
+
+15:6. Thy right hand, O Lord, is magnified in strength: thy right hand,
+O Lord, hath slain the enemy.
+
+15:7. And in the multitude of thy glory thou hast put down thy
+adversaries: thou hast sent thy wrath, which hath devoured them like
+stubble.
+
+15:8. And with the blast of thy anger the waters were gathered together:
+the flowing water stood, the depths were gathered together in the midst
+of the sea.
+
+15:9. The enemy said: I will pursue and overtake, I will divide the
+spoils, my soul shall have its fill: I will draw my sword, my hand shall
+slay them.
+
+15:10. Thy wind blew and the sea covered them: they sunk as lead in the
+mighty waters.
+
+15:11. Who is like to thee, among the strong, O Lord?  who is like to
+thee, glorious in holiness, terrible and praise-worthy, doing wonders?
+
+15:12. Thou stretchedst forth thy hand, and the earth swallowed them.
+
+15:13. In thy mercy thou hast been a leader to the people which thou
+hast redeemed: and in thy strength thou hast carried them to thy holy
+habitation.
+
+15:14. Nations rose up, and were angry: sorrows took hold on the
+inhabitants of Philisthiim.
+
+15:15. Then were the princes of Edom troubled, trembling seized on the
+stout men of Moab: all the inhabitants of Chanaan became stiff.
+
+15:16. Let fear and dread fall upon them, in the greatness of thy arm:
+let them become immoveable as a stone, until thy people, O Lord, pass
+by: until this thy people pass by, which thou hast possessed.
+
+15:17. Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thy
+inheritance, in thy most firm habitation, which thou hast made, O Lord;
+thy sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
+
+15:18: The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.
+
+15:19. For Pharao went in on horseback with his chariots and horsemen
+into the sea: and the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea:
+but the children of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst thereof.
+
+15:20. So Mary the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in
+her hand: and all the women went forth after her with timbrels and with
+dances.
+
+15:21. And she began the song to them, saying: Let us sing to the Lord,
+for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and his rider he hath thrown
+into the sea.
+
+15:22. And Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went forth
+into the wilderness of Sur: and they marched three days through the
+wilderness, and found no water.
+
+15:23. And they came into Mara, and they could not drink the waters of
+Mara because they were bitter: whereupon he gave a name also agreeable
+to the place, calling it Mara, that is, bitterness.
+
+15:24. And the people murmured against Moses, saying: What shall we
+drink?
+
+15:25. But he cried to the Lord, and he shewed him a tree, which when he
+had cast into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. There he
+appointed him ordinances, and judgments, and there he proved him,
+
+15:26. Saying: If thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and do
+what is right before him, and obey his commandments, and keep all his
+precepts, none of the evils that I laid upon Egypt, will I bring upon
+thee: for I am the Lord thy healer.
+
+15:27. And the children of Israel came into Elim, where there were
+twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped by
+the waters.
+
+Exodus Chapter 16
+
+The people murmur for want of meat: God giveth them quails and manna.
+
+16:1. And they set forward from Elim, and all the multitude of the
+children of Israel came into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim
+and Sinai: the fifteenth day of the second month, after they came out of
+the land of Egypt.
+
+16:2. And all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured
+against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
+
+16:3. And the children of Israel said to them: Would to God we had died
+by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat over the
+fleshpots, and ate bread to the full: Why have you brought us into this
+desert, that you might destroy all the multitude with famine?
+
+16:4. And the Lord said to Moses: Behold I will rain bread from heaven
+for you; let the people go forth, and gather what is sufficient for
+every day: that I may prove them whether they will walk in my law, or
+not.
+
+16:5. But the sixth day let them provide for to bring in: and let it be
+double to that they were wont to gather every day.
+
+16:6. And Moses and Aaron said to the children of Israel In the evening
+you shall know that the Lord hath brought you forth out of the land of
+Egypt:
+
+16:7. And in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord: for he
+hath heard your murmuring against the Lord: but as for us, what are we,
+that you mutter against us?
+
+16:8. And Moses said: In the evening the Lord will give you flesh to
+eat, and in the morning bread to the full: for he hath heard your
+murmurings, with which you have murmured against him, for what are we?
+your murmuring is not against us, but against the Lord.
+
+16:9. Moses also said to Aaron: Say to the whole congregation of the
+children of Israel: Come before the Lord; for he hath heard your
+murmuring.
+
+16:10. And when Aaron spoke to all the assembly of the children of
+Israel, they looked towards the wilderness; and behold the glory of the
+Lord appeared in a cloud.
+
+16:11. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
+
+16:12. I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel, say to
+them: In the evening you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall
+have your fill of bread; and you shall know that I am the Lord your God.
+
+16:13. So it came to pass in the evening, that quails coming up, covered
+the camp: and in the morning a dew lay round about the camp.
+
+16:14. And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared in the
+wilderness small, and as it were beaten with a pestle, like unto the
+hoar frost on the ground.
+
+16:15. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another:
+Manhu! which signifieth: What is this!  for they knew not what it was.
+And Moses said to them: This is the bread which the Lord hath given you
+to eat.
+
+16:16. This is the word that the Lord hath commanded: Let every one
+gather of it as much as is enough to eat; a gomor for every man,
+according to the number of your souls that dwell in a tent, so shall you
+take of it.
+
+16:17. And the children of Israel did so: and they gathered, one more,
+another less.
+
+16:18: And they measured by the measure of a gomor: neither had he more
+that had gathered more; nor did he find less that had provided less: but
+every one had gathered, according to what they were able to eat.
+
+16:19. And Moses said to them: Let no man leave thereof till the
+morning.
+
+16:20. And they hearkened not to him, but some of them left until the
+morning, and it began to be full of worms, and it putrified, and Moses
+was angry with them.
+
+16:21. Now every one of them gathered in the morning, as much as might
+suffice to eat: and after the sun grew hot, it melted.
+
+16:22. But on the sixth day they gathered twice as much, that is, two
+gomors every man: and all the rulers of the multitude came, and told
+Moses.
+
+16:23. And he said to them: This is what the Lord hath spoken: To morrow
+is the rest of the sabbath sanctified to the Lord. Whatsoever work is to
+be done, do it; and the meats that are to be dressed, dress them; and
+whatsoever shall remain, lay it up until the morning.
+
+16:24. And they did so as Moses had commanded, and it did not putrify,
+neither was there worm found in it.
+
+16:25. And Moses said: Eat it to day, because it is the sabbath of the
+Lord: to day it shall not be found in the field.
+
+16:26. Gather it six days; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of the
+Lord, therefore it shall not be found.
+
+16:27. And the seventh day came; and some of the people going forth to
+gather, found none.
+
+16:28. And the Lord said to Moses: How long will you refuse to keep my
+commandments, and my law?
+
+16:29. See that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, and for this reason
+on the sixth day he giveth you a double provision: let each man stay at
+home, and let none go forth out of his place the seventh day.
+
+16:30. And the people kept the sabbath on the seventh day.
+
+16:31. And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was
+like coriander seed, white, and the taste thereof like to flour with
+honey.
+
+16:32. And Moses said: This is the word which the Lord hath commanded:
+Fill a gomor of it, and let it be kept unto generations to come
+hereafter; that they may know the bread, wherewith I fed you in the
+wilderness when you were brought forth out of the land of Egypt.
+
+16:33. And Moses said to Aaron: Take a vessel, and put manna into it, as
+much as a gomor can hold; and lay it up before the Lord, to keep unto
+your generations,
+
+16:34. As the Lord commanded Moses. And Aaron put it in the tabernacle
+to be kept.
+
+16:35. And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, till they came
+to a habitable land: with this meat were they fed, until they reached
+the borders of the land of Chanaan.
+
+16:36. Now a gomor is the tenth part of an ephi.
+
+Exodus Chapter 17
+
+The people murmur again for want of drink; the Lord giveth them water
+out of a rock. Moses lifting up his hand in prayer, Amalec is overcome.
+
+17:1. Then all the multitude of the children of Israel setting forward
+from the desert of Sin, by their mansions, according to the word of the
+Lord, encamped in Raphidim, where there was no water for the people to
+drink.
+
+17:2. And they chode with Moses, and said: Give us water, that we may
+drink. And Moses answered them: Why chide you with me? Wherefore do you
+tempt the Lord?
+
+17:3. So the people were thirsty there for want of water, and murmured
+against Moses, saying: Why didst thou make us go forth out of Egypt, to
+kill us and our children, and our beasts with thirst?
+
+17:4. And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: What shall I do to this
+people? Yet a little more and they will stone me.
+
+17:5. And the Lord said to Moses: Go before the people, and take with
+thee of the ancients of Israel: and take in thy hand the rod wherewith
+thou didst strike the river, and go.
+
+17:6. Behold I will stand there before thee, upon the rock Horeb, and
+thou shalt strike the rock, and water shall come out of it that the
+people may drink. Moses did so before the ancients of Israel:
+
+17:7. And he called the name of that place Temptation, because of the
+chiding of the children of Israel, and for that they tempted the Lord,
+saying: Is the Lord amongst us or not?
+
+17:8. And Amalec came, and fought against Israel in Raphidim.
+
+17:9. And Moses said to Josue: Choose out men; and go out and fight
+against Amalec: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill, having the
+rod of God in my hand.
+
+17:10. Josue did as Moses had spoken, and he fought against Amalec; but
+Moses, and Aaron, and Hur, went up upon the top of the hill.
+
+17:11. And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel overcame; but if he
+let them down a little, Amalec overcame.
+
+17:12. And Moses's hands were heavy: so they took a stone, and put under
+him, and he sat on it: and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands on both
+sides. And it came to pass, that his hands were not weary until sunset.
+
+17:13. And Josue put Amalec and his people to flight, by the edge of the
+sword.
+
+17:14. And the Lord said to Moses: Write this for a memorial in a book,
+and deliver it to the ears of Josue; for I will destroy the memory of
+Amalec from under heaven.
+
+17:15. And Moses built an altar; and called the name thereof, The Lord,
+my exaltation, saying:
+
+17:16. Because the hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the
+Lord shall be against Amalec, from generation to generation.
+
+Exodus Chapter 18
+
+Jethro bringeth to Moses his wife and children. His counsel.
+
+18:1. And when Jethro the priest of Madian, the kinsman of Moses, had
+heard all the things that God had done to Moses, and to Israel his
+people, and that the Lord had brought forth Israel out of Egypt:
+
+18:2. He took Sephora, the wife of Moses, whom he had sent back:
+
+18:3. And her two sons, of whom one was called Gersam: his father
+saying, I have been a stranger in a foreign country.
+
+18:4. And the other Eliezer: For the God of my father, said he, is my
+helper, and hath delivered me from the sword of Pharao.
+
+18:5. And Jethro, the kinsman of Moses, came with his sons, and his wife
+to Moses into the desert, where he was camped by the mountain of God.
+
+18:6. And he sent word to Moses, saying: I Jethro, thy kinsman, come to
+thee, and thy wife, and thy two sons with her.
+
+18:7. And he went out to meet his kinsman, and worshipped and kissed
+him: and they saluted one another with words of peace. And when he was
+come into the tent,
+
+18:8. Moses told his kinsman all that the Lord had done to Pharao, and
+the Egyptians in favour of Israel: and all the labour which had befallen
+them in the journey, and that the Lord had delivered them.
+
+18:9. And Jethro rejoiced for all the good things that the Lord had done
+to Israel, because he had delivered them out of the hands of the
+Egyptians.
+
+18:10. And he said: Blessed is the Lord, who hath delivered his people
+out of the hand of Egypt.
+
+18:11. Now I know, that the Lord is great above all gods; because they
+dealt proudly against them.
+
+18:12. So Jethro, the kinsman of Moses, offered holocausts and
+sacrifices to God: and Aaron and all the ancients of Israel came, to eat
+bread with him before God.
+
+18:13. And the next day Moses sat to judge the people, who stood by
+Moses from morning until night.
+
+18:14. And when his kinsman had seen all things that he did among the
+people, he said: What is it that thou dost among the people? Why sittest
+thou alone, and all the people wait from morning till night?
+
+18:15. And Moses answered him: The people come to me to seek the
+judgment of God?
+
+18:16. And when any controversy falleth out among them, they come to me
+to judge between them, and to shew the precepts of God, and his laws.
+
+18:17. But he said: The thing thou dost is not good.
+
+18:18: Thou art spent with foolish labour, both thou, and this people
+that is with thee; the business is above thy strength, thou alone canst
+not bear it.
+
+18:19. But hear my words and counsels, and God shall be with thee. Be
+thou to the people in those things that pertain to God, to bring their
+words to him:
+
+18:20. And to shew the people the ceremonies, and the manner of
+worshipping; and the way wherein they ought to walk, and the work that
+they ought to do.
+
+18:21. And provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, in
+whom there is truth, and that hate avarice, and appoint of them rulers
+of thousands, and of hundreds, and of fifties, and of tens,
+
+18:22. Who may judge the people at all times: and when any great matter
+soever shall fall out, let them refer it to thee, and let them judge the
+lesser matters only: that so it may be lighter for thee, the burden
+being shared out unto others.
+
+18:23. If thou dost this, thou shalt fulfil the commandment of God, and
+shalt be able to bear his precepts: and all this people shall return to
+their places with peace.
+
+18:24. And when Moses heard this, he did all things that he had
+suggested unto him.
+
+18:25. And choosing able men out of all Israel, he appointed them rulers
+of the people, rulers over thousands, and over hundreds, and over
+fifties, and over tens.
+
+18:26. And they judged the people at all times: and whatsoever was of
+greater difficulty they referred to him, and they judged the easier
+cases only.
+
+18:27. And he let his kinsman depart: and he returned and went into his
+own country.
+
+Exodus Chapter 19
+
+They come to Sinai: the people are commanded to be sanctified. The Lord,
+coming in thunder and lightning, speaketh with Moses.
+
+19:1. In the third month of the departure of Israel out of the land of
+Egypt, on this day they came into the wilderness of Sinai:
+
+19:2. For departing out of Raphidim, and coming to the desert of Sinai,
+they camped in the same place, and there Israel pitched their tents over
+against the mountain.
+
+19:3. And Moses went up to God; and the Lord called unto him from the
+mountain, and said: Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell
+the children of Israel:
+
+And Moses went up to God... Moses went up to mount Sinai, where God
+spoke to him.
+
+19:4. You have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, how I have
+carried you upon the wings of eagles, and have taken you to myself.
+
+19:5. If therefore you will hear my voice, and keep my covenant, you
+shall be my peculiar possession above all people: for all the earth is
+mine.
+
+19:6. And you shall be to me a priestly kingdom, and a holy nation.
+These are the words thou shalt speak to the children of Israel.
+
+19:7. Moses came; and calling together the elders of the people, he
+declared all the words which the Lord had commanded.
+
+19:8. And all the people answered together: All that the Lord hath
+spoken, we will do. And when Moses had related the people's words to the
+Lord,
+
+19:9. The Lord said to him: Lo, now will I come to thee in the darkness
+of a cloud, that the people may hear me speaking to thee, and may
+believe thee for ever.  And Moses told the words of the people to the
+Lord.
+
+19:10. And he said to him: Go to the people, and sanctify them to day,
+and to morrow, and let them wash their garments.
+
+19:11. And let them be ready against the third day; for on the third day
+the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people, upon Mount
+Sinai.
+
+19:12. And thou shalt appoint certain limits to the people round about,
+and thou shalt say to them: Take heed ye go not up into the mount, and
+that ye touch not the borders thereof: every one that toucheth the
+mount, dying he shall die.
+
+19:13. No hands shall touch him, but he shall be stoned to death, or he
+shall be shot through with arrows: whether it be beast, or man, he shall
+not live. When the trumpet shall begin to sound, then let them go up
+into the mount.
+
+19:14. And Moses came down from the mount to the people, and sanctified
+them. And when they had washed thelr garments,
+
+19:15. He said to them: Be ready against the third day, and come not
+near your wives.
+
+19:16. And now the third day was come, and the morning appeared: and
+behold thunders began to be heard, and lightning to flash, and a very
+thick cloud to cover the mount, and the noise of the trumpet sounded
+exceeding loud; and the people that was in the camp, feared.
+
+19:17. And when Moses had brought them forth to meet God, from the place
+of the camp, they stood at the bottom of the mount.
+
+19:18. And all Mount Sinai was on a smoke: because the Lord was come
+down upon it in fire, and the smoke arose from it as out of a furnace:
+and all the mount was terrible.
+
+19:19. And the sound of the trumpet grew by degrees louder and louder,
+and was drawn out to a greater length: Moses spoke, and God answered
+him.
+
+19:20. And the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, in the very top of the
+mount, and he called Moses unto the top thereof. And when he was gone up
+thither,
+
+19:21. He said unto him: Go down, and charge the people; lest they
+should have a mind to pass the limits to see the Lord, and a very great
+multitude of them should perish.
+
+19:22. The priests also that come to the Lord, let them be sanctified,
+lest he strike them.
+
+19:23. And Moses said to the Lord: The people cannot come up to Mount
+Sinai: for thou didst charge, and command, saying: Set limits about the
+mount, and sanctify it.
+
+19:24. And the Lord said to him: Go, get thee down; and thou shalt come
+up, thou and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people
+pass the limits, nor come up to the Lord, lest he kill them.
+
+19:25. And Moses went down to the people and told them all.
+
+Exodus Chapter 20
+
+The ten commandments.
+
+20:1. And the Lord spoke all these words:
+
+20:2. I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
+out of the house of bondage.
+
+20:3. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me.
+
+20:4. Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of
+any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those
+things that are in the waters under the earth.
+
+A graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing, etc... All such images,
+or likenesses, are forbidden by this commandment, as are made to be
+adored and served; according to that which immediately follows, thou
+shalt not adore them, nor serve them. That is, all such as are designed
+for idols or image-gods, or are worshipped with divine honour. But
+otherwise images, pictures, or representations, even in the house of
+God, and in the very sanctuary so far from being forbidden, are
+expressly authorized by the word of God. See Ex. 25.15, and etc.; chap.
+38.7; Num. 21.8, 9; 1 Chron. or Paralip. 28.18, 19; 2 Chron. or Paralip.
+3.10.
+
+20:5. Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God,
+mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children,
+unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:
+
+20:6. And shewing mercy unto thousands to them that love me, and keep my
+commandments.
+
+20:7. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the
+Lord will not hold him guiltless that shall take the name of the Lord
+his God in vain.
+
+20:8. Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day.
+
+20:9. Six days shalt thou labour, and shalt do all thy works.
+
+20:10. But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou
+shalt do no work on it, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy
+manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy beast, nor the stranger that is
+within thy gates.
+
+20:11. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and
+all things that are in them, and rested on the seventh day: therefore
+the Lord blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it.
+
+20:12. Honour thy father and thy mother, that thou mayst be longlived
+upon the land which the Lord thy God will give thee.
+
+20:13. Thou shalt not kill.
+
+20:14. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
+
+20:15. Thou shalt not steal.
+
+20:16. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
+
+20:17. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house; neither shalt thou
+desire his wife, nor his servant, nor his handmaid, nor his ox, nor his
+ass, nor any thing that is his.
+
+20:18. And all the people saw the voices and the flames, and the sound
+of the trumpet, and the mount smoking; and being terrified and struck
+with fear, they stood afar off,
+
+20:19. Saying to Moses: Speak thou to us, and we will hear: let not the
+Lord speak to us, lest we die.
+
+20:20. And Moses said to the people: Fear not; for God is come to prove
+you, and that the dread of him might be in you, and you should not sin.
+
+20:21. And the people stood afar off. But Moses went to the dark cloud
+wherein God was.
+
+20:22. And the Lord said to Moses: Thus shalt thou say to the children
+of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
+
+20:23. You shall not make gods of silver, nor shall you make to
+yourselves gods of gold.
+
+20:24. You shall make an altar of earth unto me, and you shall offer
+upon it your holocausts and peace offerings, your sheep and oxen, in
+every place where the memory of my name shall be: I will come to thee,
+and will bless thee.
+
+20:25. And if thou make an altar of stone unto me, thou shalt not build
+it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up a tool upon it, it shall be
+defiled.
+
+20:26. Thou shalt not go up by steps unto my altar, lest thy nakedness
+be discovered.
+
+Exodus Chapter 21
+
+Laws relating to Justice.
+
+21:1. These are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
+
+21:2. If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve thee; in
+the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
+
+21:3. With what raiment he came in, with the like let him go out: if
+having a wife, his wife also shall go out with him.
+
+21:4. But if his master gave him a wife, and she hath borne sons and
+daughters; the woman and her children shall be her master's: but he
+himself shall go out with his raiment.
+
+21:5. And if the servant shall say: I love my master and my wife and
+children, I will not go out free:
+
+21:6. His master shall bring him to the gods, and he shall be set to the
+door and the posts, and he shall bore his ear through with an awl: and
+he shall be his servant for ever.
+
+To the gods... Elohim. That is, to the judges, or magistrates,
+authorized by God.
+
+21:7. If any man sell his daughter to be a servant, she shall not go out
+as bondwomen are wont to go out.
+
+21:8. If she displease the eyes of her master to whom she was delivered,
+he shall let her go: but he shall have no power to sell her to a foreign
+nation, if he despise her.
+
+21:9. But if he have betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her
+after the manner of daughters.
+
+21:10. And if he take another wife for him, he shall provide her a
+marriage, and raiment, neither shall he refuse the price of her
+chastity.
+
+21:11. If he do not these three things, she shall go out free without
+money.
+
+21:12. He that striketh a man with a will to kill him, shall be put to
+death.
+
+21:13. But he that did not lie in wait for him, but God delivered him
+into his hands: I will appoint thee a place to which he must flee.
+
+21:14. If a man kill his neighbour on set purpose, and by lying in wait
+for him: thou shalt take him away from my altar that he may die.
+
+21:15. He that striketh his father or mother, shall be put to death.
+
+21:16. He that shall steal a man, and sell him, being convicted of the
+guilt, shall be put to death.
+
+21:17. He that curseth his father or mother, shall die the death.
+
+21:18. If men quarrel, and the one strike his neighbour with a stone, or
+with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
+
+21:19. If he rise again and walk abroad upon his staff, he that struck
+him shall be quit, yet so that he make restitution for his work, and for
+his expenses upon the physicians.
+
+21:20. He that striketh his bondman, or bondwoman, with a rod, and they
+die under his hands, shall be guilty of the crime.
+
+21:21. But if the party remain alive a day or two, he shall not be
+subject to the punishment, because it is his money.
+
+21:22. If men quarrel, and one strike a woman with child and she
+miscarry indeed, but live herself: he shall be answerable for so much
+damage as the woman's husband shall require, and as arbiters shall
+award.
+
+21:23. But if her death ensue thereupon, he shall render life for life,
+
+21:24. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
+
+21:25. Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
+
+21:26. If any man strike the eye of his manservant or maidservant, and
+leave them but one eye, he shall let them go free for the eye which he
+put out.
+
+21:27. Also if he strike out a tooth of his manservant or maidservant,
+he shall in like manner make them free.
+
+21:28. If an ox gore a man or a woman, and they die, he shall be stoned:
+and his flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
+
+21:29. But if the ox was wont to push with his horn yesterday, and the
+day before, and they warned his master, and he did not shut him up, and
+he shall kill a man or a woman: then the ox shall be stoned, and his
+owner also shall be put to death.
+
+21:30. And if they set a price upon him, he shall give for his life
+whatsoever is laid upon him.
+
+21:31. If he have gored a son, or a daughter, he shall fall under the
+like sentence.
+
+21:32. If he assault a bondman or bondwoman, he shall give thirty sicles
+of silver to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.
+
+21:33. If a man open a pit, and dig one, and cover it not, and an ox or
+an ass fall into it,
+
+21:34. The owner of the pit shall pay the price of the beasts: and that
+which is dead shall be his own.
+
+21:35. If one man's ox gore another man's ox, and he die: they shall
+sell the live ox, and shall divide the price, and the carcass of that
+which died they shall part between them:
+
+21:36. But if he knew that his ox was wont to push yesterday, and the
+day before, and his master did not keep him in; he shall pay ox for ox,
+and shall take the whole carcass.
+
+Exodus Chapter 22
+
+The punishment of theft, and other trespasses. The law of lending
+without usury, of taking pledges of reverences to superiors, and of
+paying tithes.
+
+22:1. If any man steal an ox or a sheep, and kill or sell it: he shall
+restore five oxen for one ox, and four sheep for one sheep.
+
+22:2. If a thief be found breaking open a house or undermining it, and
+be wounded so as to die: he that slew him shall not be guilty of blood.
+
+22:3. But if he did this when the sun is risen, he hath committed
+murder, and he shall die. If he have not wherewith to make restitution
+for the theft, he shall be sold.
+
+22:4. If that which he stole be found with him, alive, either ox, or
+ass, or sheep: he shall restore double.
+
+22:5. If any man hurt a field or a vineyard, and put in his beast to
+feed upon that which is other men's: he shall restore the best of
+whatsoever he hath in his own field, or in his vineyard, according to
+the estimation of the damage.
+
+22:6. If a fire breaking out light upon thorns, and catch stacks of
+corn, or corn standing in the fields, he that kindled the fire shall
+make good the loss.
+
+22:7. If a man deliver money, or any vessel unto his friend to keep, and
+they be stolen away from him that received them: if the thief be found,
+he shall restore double:
+
+22:8. If the thief be not known, the master of the house shall be
+brought to the gods, and shall swear that he did not lay his hand upon
+his neighbour's goods,
+
+22:9. To do any fraud, either in ox, or in ass, or sheep, or raiment, or
+any thing that may bring damage: the cause of both parties shall come to
+the gods: and if they give judgment, he shall restore double to his
+neighbour.
+
+22:10. If a man deliver ass, ox, sheep, or any beast, to his neighbour's
+custody, and it die, or be hurt, or be taken by enemies, and no man saw
+it:
+
+22:11. There shall be an oath between them, that he did not put forth
+his hand to his neighbour's goods: and the owner shall accept of the
+oath, and he shall not be compelled to make restitution.
+
+22:12. But if it were taken away by stealth, he shall make the loss good
+to the owner.
+
+22:13. If it were eaten by a beast, let him bring to him that which was
+slain, and he shall not make restitution.
+
+22:14. If a man borrow of his neighbour any of these things, and it be
+hurt or die, the owner not being present, he shall be obliged to make
+restitution.
+
+22:15. But if the owner be present, he shall not make restitution,
+especially if it were hired, and came for the hire of his work.
+
+22:16. If a man seduce a virgin not yet espoused, and lie with her: he
+shall endow her, and have her to wife.
+
+22:17. If the maid's father will not give her to him, he shall give
+money according to the dowry, which virgins are wont to receive.
+
+22:18. Wizards thou shalt not suffer to live.
+
+22:19. Whosoever copulateth with a beast; shall be put to death.
+
+22:20. He that sacrificeth to gods, shall be put to death, save only to
+the Lord.
+
+22:21. Thou shalt not molest a stranger, nor afflict him: for yourselves
+also were strangers in the land of Egypt.
+
+22:22. You shall not hurt a widow or an orphan.
+
+22:23. If you hurt them, they will cry out to me, and I will hear their
+cry:
+
+22:24. And my rage shall be enkindled, and I will strike you with the
+sword, and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
+
+22:25. If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor, that
+dwelleth with thee, thou shalt not be hard upon them as an extortioner,
+nor oppress them with usuries.
+
+22:26. If thou take of thy neighbour a garment in pledge, thou shalt
+give it him again before sunset.
+
+22:27. For that same is the only thing, wherewith he is covered, the
+clothing of his body, neither hath he any other to sleep in: if he cry
+to me, I will hear him, because I am compassionate.
+
+22:28. Thou shalt not speak ill of the gods, and the prince of thy
+people thou shalt not curse.
+
+22:29. Thou shalt not delay to pay thy tithes and thy firstfruits: thou
+shalt give the firstborn of thy sons to me.
+
+22:30. Thou shalt do the same with the firstborn of thy oxen also and
+sheep: seven days let it be with its dam: the eighth day thou shalt give
+it to me.
+
+22:31. You shall be holy men to me: the flesh that beasts have tasted of
+before, you shall not eat, but shall cast it to the dogs.
+
+Exodus Chapter 23
+
+Laws for judges; the rest of the seventh year, and day: three principal
+feasts to be solemnized every year; the promise of an angel, to conduct
+and protect them: idols are to be destroyed.
+
+23:1. Thou shalt not receive the voice of a lie: neither shalt thou join
+thy hand to bear false witness for a wicked person.
+
+23:2. Thou shalt not follow the multitude to do evil: neither shalt thou
+yield in judgment, to the opinion of the most part, to stray from the
+truth.
+
+23:3. Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in judgment.
+
+23:4. If thou meet thy enemy's ox or ass going astray, bring it back to
+him.
+
+23:5. If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lie underneath his
+burden, thou shalt not pass by, but shalt lift him up with him.
+
+23:6. Thou shalt not go aside in the poor man's judgment.
+
+23:7. Thou shalt fly Iying. The innocent and just person thou shalt not
+put to death: because I abhor the wicked.
+
+23:8. Neither shalt thou take bribes, which even blind the wise, and
+pervert the words of the just.
+
+23:9. Thou shalt not molest a stranger, for you know the hearts of
+strangers: for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.
+
+23:10. Six years thou shalt sow thy ground, and shalt gather the corn
+thereof.
+
+23:11. But the seventh year thou shalt let it alone, and suffer it to
+rest, that the poor of thy people may eat, and whatsoever shall be left,
+let the beasts of the field eat it: so shalt thou do with thy vineyard
+and thy oliveyard.
+
+23:12. Six days thou shalt work: the seventh day thou shalt cease, that
+thy ox and thy ass may rest: and the son of thy handmaid and the
+stranger may be refreshed.
+
+23:13. Keep all things that I have said to you. And by the name of
+strange gods you shall not swear, neither shall it be heard out of your
+mouth.
+
+23:14. Three times every year you shall celebrate feasts to me.
+
+23:15. Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days shalt
+thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month
+of new corn, when thou didst come forth out of Egypt: thou shalt not
+appear empty before me.
+
+23:16. And the feast of the harvest of the firstfruits of thy work,
+whatsoever thou hast sown in the field. The feast also in the end of the
+year, when thou hast gathered in all thy corn out of the field.
+
+23:17. Thrice a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God.
+
+23:18. Thou shalt not sacrifice the blood of my victim upon leaven,
+neither shall the fat of my solemnity remain until the morning.
+
+23:19. Thou shalt carry the first-fruits of the corn of thy ground to
+the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of
+his dam.
+
+23:20. Behold I will send my angel, who shall go before thee, and keep
+thee in thy journey, and bring thee into the place that I have prepared.
+
+23:21. Take notice of him, and hear his voice, and do not think him one
+to be contemned: for he will not forgive when thou hast sinned, and my
+name is in him.
+
+23:22. But if thou wilt hear hi voice, and do all that I speak, I will
+be an enemy to thy enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee.
+
+23:23. And my angel shall go before thee, and shall bring thee in unto
+the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherexite, and the Chanaanite,
+and the Hevite, and the Jebuzite, whom I will destroy.
+
+23:24. Thou shalt not adore their gods, nor serve them. Thou shalt not
+do their works, but shalt destroy them, and break their statues.
+
+23:25. And you shall serve the Lord your God, that I may bless your
+bread and your waters, and may take away sickness from the midst of
+thee.
+
+23:26. There shall not be one fruitless nor barren in thy land: I will
+fill the number of thy days.
+
+23:27. I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people
+to whom thou shalt come: and will turn the backs of all thy enemies
+before thee:
+
+23:28. Sending out hornets before, that shall drive away the Hevite, and
+the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, before thou come in.
+
+23:29. I will not cast them out from thy face in one year; lest the land
+be brought into a wilderness, and the beasts multiply against thee.
+
+23:30. By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, till
+thou be increased, and dost possess the land.
+
+23:31. And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea to the sea of the
+Palestines, and from the desert to the river: I will deliver the
+inhabitants of the land into your hands, and will drive them out from
+before you.
+
+23:32. Thou shalt not enter into league with them, nor with their gods.
+
+23:33. Let them not dwell in thy land, lest perhaps they make thee sin
+against me, if thou serve their gods; which, undoubtedly, will be a
+scandal to thee.
+
+Exodus Chapter 24
+
+Moses writeth his law; and after offering sacrifices, sprinkleth the
+blood of the testament upon the people: then goeth up the mountain which
+God covereth with a fiery cloud.
+
+24:1. And he said to Moses: Come up to the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab
+and Abiu, and seventy of the ancients of Israel, and you shall adore
+afar off.
+
+24:2. And Moses alone shall come up to the Lord, but they shall not come
+nigh; neither shall the people come up with him.
+
+24:3. So Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and
+all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice: We will
+do all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken.
+
+24:4. And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord: and rising in the
+morning, he built an altar at the foot of the mount, and twelve titles
+according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
+
+Titles... That is, pillars.
+
+24:5. And he sent young men of the children of Israel, and they offered
+holocausts, and sacrificed pacific victims of calves to the Lord.
+
+Holocausts... Whole burnt offerings, in which the whole sacrifice was
+consumed with fire upon the altar.
+
+24:6. Then Moses took half of the blood, and put it into bowls; and the
+rest he poured upon the altar.
+
+24:7. And taking the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of
+the people: and they said: All things that the Lord hath spoken, we will
+do, we will be obedient.
+
+24:8. And he took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and he
+said: This is the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with
+you concerning all these words.
+
+24:9. Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abiu, and seventy of the ancients
+of Israel went up:
+
+24:10. And they saw the God of Israel: and under his feet as it were a
+work of sapphire stone, and as the heaven, when clear.
+
+24:11. Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the children of Israel,
+that retired afar off, and they saw God, and they did eat and drink.
+
+24:12. And the Lord said to Moses: Come up to me into the mount, and be
+there; and I will give thee tables of stone, and the law, and the
+commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.
+
+24:13. Moses rose up, and his minister Josue: and Moses going up into
+the mount of God,
+
+24:14. Said to the ancients: Wait ye here till we return to you. You
+have Aaron and Hur with you: if any question shall arise, you shall
+refer it to them.
+
+24:15. And when Moses was gone up, a cloud covered the mount.
+
+24:16. And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a
+cloud six days: and the seventh day he called him out of the midst of
+the cloud.
+
+24:17. And the sight of the glory of the Lord, was like a burning fire
+upon the top of the mount, in the eyes of the children of Israel.
+
+24:18. And Moses entering into the midst of the cloud, went up into the
+mountain: And he was there forty days and forty nights.
+
+Exodus Chapter 25
+
+Offerings prescribed for making the tabernacle, the ark, the
+candlestick, etc.
+
+25:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
+
+25:2. Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring firstfruits to
+me: of every man that offereth of his own accord, you shall take them.
+
+Firstfruits... Offerings of some of the best and choicest of their
+goods.
+
+25:3. And these are the things you must take: Gold, and silver, and
+brass,
+
+25:4. Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and
+goats' hair,
+
+25:5. And rams' skins dyed red, and violet skins, and setim wood:
+
+Setim wood... The wood of a tree that grows in the wilderness, which is
+said to be incorruptible.
+
+25:6. Oil to make lights: spices for ointment, and for sweetsmelling
+incense:
+
+25:7. Onyx stones, and precious stones to adorn the ephod and the
+rational.
+
+The ephod and the rational... The ephod was the high priest's upper
+vestment; and the rational his vestplate, in which were twelve gems,
+etc.
+
+25:8. And they shall make me a sanctuary, and I will dwell in the midst
+of them:
+
+25:9. According to all the likeness of the tabernacle which I will shew
+thee, and of all the vessels for the service thereof: and thus you shall
+make it:
+
+25:10. Frame an ark of setim wood, the length whereof shall be of two
+cubits and a half; the breadth, a cubit and a half; the height,
+likewise, a cubit and a half.
+
+25:11. And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold, within and
+without; and over it thou shalt make a golden crown round about:
+
+25:12. And four golden rings, which thou shalt put at the four corners
+of the ark: let two rings be on the one side, and two on the other.
+
+25:13. Thou shalt make bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them
+with gold.
+
+25:14. And thou shalt put them in through the rings that are in the
+sides of the ark, that it may be carried on them:
+
+25:15. And they shall be always in the rings, neither shall they at any
+time be drawn out of them.
+
+25:16. And thou shalt put in the ark the testimony which I will give
+thee.
+
+25:17. Thou shalt make also a propitiatory of the purest gold: the
+length thereof shall be two cubits and a half, and the breadth a cubit
+and a half.
+
+A propitiatory... a covering for the ark: called a propitiatory, or
+mercy seat, because the Lord, who was supposed to sit there upon the
+wings of the cherubims, with the ark for his footstool, from thence
+shewed mercy. It is also called the oracle, ver. 18 and 20; because from
+thence God gave his orders and his answers.
+
+25:18. Thou shalt make also two cherubims of beaten gold, on the two
+sides of the oracle.
+
+25:19. Let one cherub be on the one side, and the other on the other.
+
+25:20. Let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their
+wings, and covering the oracle, and let them look one towards the other,
+their faces being turned towards the propitiatory wherewith the ark is
+to to be covered.
+
+25:21. In which thou shalt put the testimony that I will give thee.
+
+25:22. Thence will I give orders, and will speak to thee over the
+propitiatory, and from the midst of the two cherubims, which shall be
+upon the ark of the testimony, all things which I will command the
+children of Israel by thee.
+
+25:23. Thou shalt make a table also of setim wood, of two cubits in
+length, and a cubit in breadth, and a cubit and a half in height.
+
+A table... On which were to be placed the twelve loaves of proposition:
+or, as they are called in the Hebrew, the face bread, because they were
+always to stand before the face of the Lord in his temple: as a figure
+of the eucharistic sacrifice and sacrament, in the church of Christ.
+
+25:24. And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold: and thou shalt
+make to it a golden ledge round about.
+
+25:25. And to the ledge itself a polished crown, four inches high; and
+over the same another little golden crown.
+
+25:26. Thou shalt prepare also four golden rings, and shalt put them in
+the four corners of the same table, over each foot.
+
+25:27. Under the crown shall the golden rings be, that the bars may be
+put through them, and the table may be carried.
+
+25:28. The bars also themselves thou shalt make of setim wood, and shalt
+overlay them with gold, to bear up the table.
+
+25:29. Thou shalt prepare also dishes, and bowls, censers, and cups,
+wherein the libations are to be offered, of the purest gold.
+
+Libations... That is, drink offerings.
+
+25:30. And thou shalt set upon the table loaves of proposition in my
+sight always.
+
+25:31. Thou shalt make also a candlestick of beaten work, of the finest
+gold, the shaft thereof, and the branches, the cups, and the bowls, and
+the lilies going forth from it.
+
+A candlestick... This candlestick, with its seven lamps, which was
+always to give light in the house of God, was a figure of the light of
+the Holy Ghost, and his sevenfold grace, in the sanctuary of the church
+of Christ.
+
+25:32. Six branches shall come out of the sides, three out of one side,
+and three out of the other.
+
+25:33. Three cups as it were nuts to every branch, and a bowl withal,
+and a lily: and three cups likewise of the fashion of nuts in the other
+branch, and a bowl withal, and a lily. Such shall be the work of the six
+branches, that are to come out from the shaft:
+
+25:34. And in the candlestick itself shall be four cups in the manner of
+a nut, and at every one bowls and lilies.
+
+25:35. Bowls under two branches in three places, which together make
+six, coming forth out of one shaft.
+
+25:36. And both the bowls and the branches shall be of the same beaten
+work of the purest gold.
+
+25:37. Thou shalt make also seven lamps, and shalt set them upon the
+candlestick, to give light over against.
+
+25:38. The snuffers also, and where the snuffings shall be put out,
+shall be made of the purest gold.
+
+25:39. The whole weight of the candlestick, with all the furniture
+thereof, shall be a talent of the purest gold.
+
+25:40. Look, and make it according to the pattern that was shewn thee in
+the mount.
+
+Exodus Chapter 26
+
+The form of the tabernacle with its appurtenances.
+
+26:1. And thou shalt make the tabernacle in this manner: Thou shalt make
+ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and violet and purple, and scarlet
+twice dyed, diversified with embroidery.
+
+26:2. The length of one curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits; the
+breadth shall be four cubits. All the curtains shall be of one measure.
+
+26:3. Five curtains shall be joined one to another, and the other five
+shall be coupled together in like manner.
+
+26:4. Thou shalt make loops of violet in the sides and tops of the
+curtains, that they may be joined one to another.
+
+26:5. Every curtain shall have fifty loops on both sides, so set on,
+that one loop may be against another loop, and one may be fitted to the
+other.
+
+26:6. Thou shalt make also fifty rings of gold, wherewith the veils of
+the curtains are to be joined, that it may be made one tabernacle.
+
+26:7. Thou shalt make also eleven curtains of goats' hair, to cover the
+top of the tabernacle.
+
+26:8. The length of one hair-curtain shall be thirty cubits; and the
+breadth, four: the measure of all the curtains shall be equal.
+
+26:9. Five of which thou shalt couple by themselves, and the six others
+thou shalt couple one to another, so as to double the sixth curtain in
+the front of the roof.
+
+26:10. Thou shalt make also fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, that
+it may be joined with the other: and fifty loops in the edge of the
+other curtain, that it may be coupled with its fellow.
+
+26:11. Thou shalt make also fifty buckles of brass, wherewith the loops
+may be joined, that of all there may be made one covering.
+
+26:12. And that which shall remain of the curtains, that are prepared
+for the roof, to wit, one curtain that is over and above, with the half
+thereof thou shalt cover the back parts of the tabernacle.
+
+26:13. And there shall hang down a cubit on the one side, and another on
+the other side, which is over and above in the length of the curtains,
+fencing both sides of the tabernacle.
+
+26:14. Thou shalt make also another cover to the roof of rams' skins
+dyed red: and over that again another cover of violet coloured skins.
+
+26:15. Thou shalt make also the boards of the tabernacle standing
+upright of setim wood.
+
+26:16. Let every one of them be ten cubits in length, and in breadth one
+cubit and a half.
+
+26:17. In the sides of the boards shall be made two mortises, whereby
+one board may be joined to another board: and after this manner shall
+all the boards be prepared.
+
+26:18. Of which twenty shall be in the south side southward.
+
+26:19. For which thou shalt cast forty sockets of silver, that under
+every board may be put two sockets at the two corners.
+
+26:20. In the second side also of the tabernacle that looketh to the
+north, there shall be twenty boards,
+
+26:21. Having forty sockets of silver, two sockets shall be put under
+each board.
+
+26:22. But on the west side of the tabernacle thou shalt make six
+boards.
+
+26:23. And again other two which shall be erected in the corners at the
+back of the tabernacle.
+
+26:24. And they shall be joined together from beneath unto the top, and
+one joint shall hold them all. The like joining shall be observed for
+the two boards also that are to be put in the corners.
+
+26:25. And they shall be in all eight boards, and their silver sockets
+sixteen, reckoning two sockets for each board.
+
+26:26. Thou shalt make also five bars of setim wood, to hold together
+the boards on one side of the tabernacle.
+
+26:27. And five others on the other side, and as many at the west side:
+
+26:28. And they shall be put along by the midst of the boards, from one
+end to the other.
+
+26:29. The boards also themselves thou shalt overlay with gold, and
+shalt cast rings of gold to be set upon them, for places for the bars to
+hold together the boardwork: which bars thou shalt cover with plates of
+gold.
+
+26:30. And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the pattern
+that was shewn thee in the mount.
+
+26:31. Thou shalt make also a veil of violet, and purple, and scarlet
+twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidered work and
+goodly variety:
+
+26:32. And thou shalt hang it up before four pillars of setim wood,
+which themselves also shall be overlaid with gold, and shall have heads
+of gold, but sockets of silver.
+
+26:33. And the veil shall be hanged on with rings, and within it thou
+shalt put the ark of the testimony, and the sanctuary and the holy of
+the holies shall be divided with it.
+
+The sanctuary, etc... That part of the tabernacle, which was without the
+veil, into which the priests daily entered, is here called the
+sanctuary, or holy place; that part which was within the veil, into
+which no one but the high priest ever went, and he but once a year, is
+called the holy of holies, (literally, the sanctuary of the
+sanctuaries,) as being the most holy of all holy places.
+
+26:34. And thou shalt set the propitiatory upon the ark of the
+testimony, in the holy of holies.
+
+26:35. And the table without the veil, and over against the table the
+candlestick in the south side of the tabernacle: for the table shall
+stand in the north side.
+
+26:36. Thou shalt make also a hanging in the entrance of the tabernacle
+of violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen
+with embroidered work.
+
+26:37. And thou shalt overlay with gold five pillars of setim wood,
+before which the hanging shall be drawn: their heads shall be of gold,

+which, shall be four rings of brass,

+shall be even to the midst of the altar.
+
+27:6. Thou shalt make also two bars for the altar, of setim wood, which
+thou shalt cover with plates of brass:
+
+27:7. And thou shalt draw them through rings, and they shall be on both
+sides of the altar to carry it.
+
+27:8. Thou shalt not make it solid, but empty and hollow in the inside,
+as it was shewn thee in the mount.
+
+27:9. Thou shalt make also the court of the tabernacle, in the south
+side whereof southward there shall be hangings of fine twisted linen of
+a hundred cubits long for one side.
+
+27:10. And twenty pillars with as many sockets of brass, the heads of
+which, with their engraving, shall be of silver.

+twenty cubits of violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine
+twisted linen, with embroidered work: it shall have four pillars, with
+as many sockets.
+
+27:17. All the pillars of the court round about shall be garnished with
+plates of silver, silver heads, and sockets of brass.
+
+27:18. In length the court shall take up a hundred cubits, in breadth
+fifty, the height shall be of five cubits, and it shall be made of fine
+twisted linen, and shall have sockets of brass.

+oil of the olives, and beaten with a pestle: that a lamp may burn
+always,
+
+27:21. In the tabernacle of the testimony, without the veil that hangs
+before the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall order it, that it may
+give light before the Lord until the morning. It shall be a perpetual
+observance throughout their successions among the children of Israel.
+
+Exodus Chapter 28
+
+The holy vestments for Aaron and his sons.
+
+28:1. Take unto thee also Aaron thy brother with his sons, from among
+the children of Israel, that they may minister to me in the priest's
+office: Aaron, Nadab, and Abiu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
+
+28:2. And thou shalt make a holy vesture for Aaron, thy brother, for
+glory and for beauty.
+
+28:3. And thou shalt speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled
+with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's vestments, in
+which he being consecrated, may minister to me.
+
+28:4. And these shall be the vestments that they shall make: A rational
+and an ephod, a tunic and a strait linen garment, a mitre and a girdle.
+They shall make the holy vestments for thy brother Aaron and his sons,
+that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.
+
+28:5. And they shall take gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet
+twice dyed, and fine linen.
+
+28:6. And they shall make the ephod of gold, and violet, and purple, and
+scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, embroidered with divers
+colours.
+
+28:7. It shall have the two edges joined in the top on both sides, that
+they may be closed together.
+
+28:8. The very workmanship also, and all the variety of the work, shall
+be of gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine
+twisted linen.
+
+28:9. And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and shalt grave on them the
+names of the children of Israel:
+
+28:10. Six names on one stone, and the other six on the other, according
+to the order of their birth.
+
+28:11. With the work of an engraver, and the graving of a jeweller, thou
+shalt engrave them with the names of the children of Israel, set in gold
+and compassed about:
+
+28:12. And thou shalt put them in both sides of the ephod, a memorial
+for the children of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before the
+Lord upon both shoulders, for a remembrance.
+
+28:13. Thou shalt make also hooks of gold.
+
+28:14. And two little chains of the purest gold, linked one to another,
+which thou shalt put into the hooks.
+
+28:15. And thou shalt make the rational of judgment with embroidered
+work of divers colours, according to the workmanship of the ephod, of
+gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted
+linen.
+
+The rational of judgment... This part of the priest's attire, which he
+wore at his breast, was called the rational of judgment; partly because
+it admonished both priest and people of their duty to God, by carrying
+the names of all their tribes in his presence; and by the Urim and the
+Thummim, that is, doctrine and truth, which were written upon it; and
+partly because it gave divine answers and oracles, as if it were
+rational and endowed with judgment.
+
+28:16. It shall be four square and doubled: it shall be the measure of a
+span both in length and in breadth.
+
+28:17. And thou shalt set in it four rows of stones. In the first row
+shall be a sardius stone, and a topaz, and an emerald:
+
+28:18. In the second a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper:
+
+28:19. In the third a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst:
+
+28:20. In the fourth a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl. They shall be
+set in gold by their rows.
+
+28:21. And they shall have the names of the children of Israel: with
+twelve names shall they be engraved, each stone with the name of one
+according to the twelve tribes.
+
+28:22. And thou shalt make on the rational chains, linked one to
+another, of the purest gold:
+
+28:23. And two rings of gold, which thou shalt put in the two ends at
+the top of the rational.
+
+28:24. And the golden chains thou shalt join to the rings, that are in
+the ends thereof.
+
+28:25. And the ends of the chains themselves, thou shalt join together
+with two hooks, on both sides of the ephod, which is towards the
+rational.
+
+28:26. Thou shalt make also two rings of gold, which thou shalt put in
+the top parts of the rational, in the borders that are over against the
+ephod, and look towards the back parts thereof.
+
+28:27. Moreover also other two rings of gold, which are to be set on
+each side of the ephod beneath, that looketh towards the nether joining,
+that the rational may be fitted with the ephod,
+
+28:28. And may be fastened by the rings thereof unto the rings of the
+ephod with a violet fillet, that the joining artificially wrought may
+continue, and the rational and the ephod may not be loosed one from the
+other.
+
+28:29. And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the
+rational of judgment upon his breast, when he shall enter into the
+sanctuary, a memorial before the Lord for ever.
+
+28:30. And thou shalt put in the rational of judgment doctrine and
+truth, which shall be on Aaron's breast, when he shall go in before the
+Lord: and he shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his
+breast, in the sight of the Lord always.
+
+Doctrine and Truth... Hebrew, Urim and Thummim: illuminations and
+perfections. These words, written on the rational, seem to signify the
+light of doctrine and the integrity of life, with which the priests of
+God ought to approach him.
+
+28:31. And thou shalt make the tunic of the ephod all of violet,
+
+28:32. In the midst whereof above shall be a hole for the head, and a
+border round about it woven, as is wont to be made in the outmost parts
+of garments, that it may not easily be broken.
+
+28:33. And beneath at the feet of the same tunic, round about, thou
+shalt make as it were pomegranates, of violet, and purple, and scarlet
+twice dyed, with little bells set between:
+
+28:34. So that there shall be a golden bell and a pomegranate, and again
+another golden bell and a pomegranate.
+
+28:35. And Aaron shall be vested with it in the office of his ministry,
+that the sound may be heard, when he goeth in and cometh out of the
+sanctuary, in the sight of the Lord, and that he may not die.
+
+28:36. Thou shalt make also a plate of the purest gold: wherein thou
+shalt grave with engraver's work, Holy to the Lord.
+
+28:37. And thou shalt tie it with a violet fillet, and it shall be upon
+the mitre,
+
+28:38. Hanging over the forehead of the high priest.  And Aaron shall
+bear the iniquities of those things, which the children of Israel have
+offered and sanctified, in all their gifts and offerings. And the plate
+shall be always on his forehead, that the Lord may be well pleased with
+them.
+
+28:39. And thou shalt gird the tunic with fine linen, and thou shalt
+make a fine linen mitre, and a girdle of embroidered work.
+
+28:40. Moreover, for the sons of Aaron thou shalt prepare linen tunics,
+and girdles and mitres for glory and beauty:
+
+28:41. And with all these things thou shalt vest Aaron thy brother, and
+his sons with him. And thou shalt consecrate the hands of them all, and
+shalt sanctify them, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.
+
+28:42. Thou shalt make also linen breeches, to cover the flesh of their
+nakedness, from the reins to the thighs:
+
+28:43. And Aaron and his sons shall use them when they shall go into the
+tabernacle of the testimony, or when they approach to the altar to
+minister in the sanctuary lest being guilty of iniquity they die. It
+shall be a law for ever to Aaron, and to his seed after him.
+
+Exodus Chapter 29
+
+The manner of consecrating Aaron and other priests; the institution of
+the daily sacrifice of two lambs, one in the morning, the other at
+evening.
+
+29:1. And thou shalt also do this, that they may be consecrated to me in
+priesthood. Take a calf from the herd, and two rams without blemish,
+
+29:2. And unleavened bread, and a cake without leaven, tempered with
+oil, wafers also unleavened, anointed with oil: thou shalt make them all
+of wheaten flour.
+
+29:3. And thou shalt put them in a basket, and offer them: and the calf
+and the two rams.
+
+29:4. And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the
+tabernacle of the testimony. And when thou hast washed the father and
+his sons with water,
+
+29:5. Thou shalt clothe Aaron with his vestments, that is, with the
+linen garment and the tunic, and the ephod and the rational, which thou
+shalt gird with the girdle.
+
+29:6. And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and the holy plate
+upon the mitre,
+
+29:7. And thou shalt pour the oil of unction upon his head: and by this
+rite shall he be consecrated.
+
+29:8. Thou shalt bring his sons also, and shalt put on them the linen
+tunics, and gird them with a girdle:
+
+29:9. To wit, Aaron and his children, and thou shalt put mitres upon
+them; and they shall be priests to me by a perpetual ordinance. After
+thou shalt have consecrated their hands,
+
+29:10. Thou shalt present also the calf before the tabernacle of the
+testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon his head,
+
+29:11. And thou shalt kill him in the sight of the Lord, beside the door
+of the tabernacle of the testimony.
+
+29:12. And taking some of the blood of the calf, thou shalt put it upon
+the horns of the altar with thy finger, and the rest of the blood thou
+shalt pour at the bottom thereof.
+
+29:13. Thou shalt take also all the fat that covereth the entrails, and
+the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon
+them, and shalt offer a burn offering upon the altar:
+
+29:14. But the flesh of the calf, and the hide and the dung, thou shalt
+burn abroad, without the camp, because it is for sin.
+
+29:15. Thou shalt take also one ram, upon the head whereof Aaron and his
+sons shall lay their hands.
+
+29:16. And when thou hast killed him, thou shalt take of the blood
+thereof, and pour round about the altar.
+
+29:17. And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and having washed his
+entrails and feet, thou shalt put them upon the flesh that is cut in
+pieces, and upon his head.
+
+29:18. And thou shalt offer the whole ram for a burnt offering upon the
+altar: it is an oblation to the Lord, a most sweet savour of the victim
+of the Lord.
+
+29:19. Thou shalt take also the other ram, upon whose head Aaron and his
+sons shall lay their hands.
+
+29:20. And when thou hast sacrificed him, thou shalt take of his blood,
+and put upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron and of his sons, and upon
+the thumbs and great toes of their right hand and foot, and thou shalt
+pour the blood upon the altar round about.
+
+29:21. And when thou hast taken of the blood that is upon the altar, and
+of the oil of unction, thou shalt sprinkle Aaron and his vesture, his
+sons and their vestments.  And after they and their vestments are
+consecrated,
+
+29:22. Thou shalt take the fat of the ram, and the rump, and the fat
+that covereth the lungs, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys,
+and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder, because it is the
+ram of consecration:
+
+29:23. And one roll of bread, a cake tempered with oil, a wafer out of
+the basket of unleavened bread, which is set in the sight of the Lord:
+
+29:24. And thou shalt put all upon the hands of Aaron and of his sons,
+and shalt sanctify them elevating before the Lord.
+
+29:25. And thou shalt take all from their hands; and shalt burn them
+upon the altar for a holocaust, a most sweet savour in the sight of the
+Lord, because it is his oblation.
+
+29:26. Thou shalt take also the breast of the ram, wherewith Aaron was
+consecrated, and elevating it thou shalt sanctify it before the Lord,
+and it shall fall to thy share.
+
+29:27. And thou shalt sanctify both the consecrated breast, and the
+shoulder that thou didst separate of the ram,
+
+29:28. Wherewith Aaron was consecrated and his sons, and they shall fall
+to Aaron's share, and his sons', by a perpetual right from the children
+of Israel: because they are the choicest and the beginnings of their
+peace victims which they offer to the Lord.
+
+29:29. And the holy vesture, which Aaron shall use, his sons shall have
+after him, that they may be anointed, and their hands consecrated in it.
+
+29:30. He of his sons that shall be appointed high priest in his stead,
+and that shall enter into the tabernacle of the testimony to minister in
+the sanctuary, shall wear it seven days.
+
+29:31. And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and shalt boil
+the flesh thereof in the holy place:
+
+29:32. And Aaron and his sons shall eat it. The loaves also, that are in
+the basket, they shall eat in the entry of the tabernacle of the
+testimony,
+
+29:33. That it may be an atoning sacrifice, and the hands of the
+offerers may be sanctified. A stranger shall not eat of them, because
+they are holy.
+
+29:34. And if there remain of the consecrated flesh, or of the bread,
+till the morning, thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: they shall
+not be eaten, because they are sanctified.
+
+29:35. All that I have commanded thee, thou shalt do unto Aaron and his
+sons. Seven days shalt thou consecrate their hands:
+
+29:36. And thou shalt offer a calf for sin every day for expiation. And
+thou shalt cleanse the altar when thou hast offered the victim of
+expiation, and shalt anoint it to sanctify it.
+
+29:37. Seven days shalt thou expiate the altar and sanctify it, and it
+shall be most holy. Every one, that shall touch it, shall be holy.
+
+29:38. This is what thou shalt sacrifice upon the altar: Two lambs of a
+year old every day continually,
+
+29:39. One lamb in the morning, and another in the evening.
+
+29:40. With one lamb a tenth part of flour tempered with beaten oil, of
+the fourth part of a hin, and wine for libation of the same measure.
+
+29:41. And the other lamb thou shalt offer in the evening, according to
+the rite of the morning oblation, and according to what we have said,
+for a savour of sweetness:
+
+29:42. It is a sacrifice to the Lord, by perpetual oblation unto your
+generations, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the
+Lord, where I will appoint to speak unto thee.
+
+29:43. And there will I command the children of Israel, and the altar
+shall be sanctified by my glory.
+
+29:44. I will sanctify also the tabernacle of the testimony with the
+altar, and Aaron with his sons, to do the office of priesthood unto me.
+
+29:45. And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will
+be their God:
+
+29:46. And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who have
+brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I might abide among them, I
+the Lord their God.
+
+Exodus Chapter 30
+
+The altar of incense: money to be gathered for the use of the
+tabernacle: the brazen laver: the holy oil of unction, and the
+composition of the perfume.
+
+30:1. Thou shalt make also an altar to burn incense, of setim wood.
+
+An altar to burn incense... This burning of incense was an emblem of
+prayer, ascending to God from an inflamed heart. See Ps. 140.2; Apoc.
+5.8, and 8.4.
+
+30:2. It shall be a cubit in length, and another in breadth, that is,
+four square, and two in height. Horns shall go out of the same.
+
+30:3. And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold, as well the grate
+thereof, as the walls round about, and the horns. And thou shalt make to
+it a crown of gold round about,
+
+30:4. And two golden rings under the crown on either side, that the bars
+may be put into them, and the altar be carried.
+
+30:5. And thou shalt make the bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay
+them with gold.
+
+30:6. And thou shalt set the altar over against the veil, that hangeth
+before the ark of the testimony before the propitiatory wherewith the
+testimony is covered, where I will speak to thee.
+
+30:7. And Aaron shall burn sweet smelling incense upon it in the
+morning. When he shall dress the lamps, he shall burn it:
+
+30:8. And when he shall place them in the evening, he shall burn an
+everlasting incense before the Lord throughout your generations.
+
+30:9. You shall not offer upon it incense of another composition, nor
+oblation, and victim, neither shall you offer libations.
+
+30:10. And Aaron shall pray upon the horns thereof once a year, with the
+blood of that which was offered for sin; and shall make atonement upon
+it in your generations.  It shall be most holy to the Lord.
+
+30:11. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
+
+30:12. When thou shalt take the sum of the children of Israel, according
+to their number, every one of them shall give a price for their souls to
+the Lord, and there shall be no scourge among them, when they shall be
+reckoned.
+
+30:13. And this shall every one give that passeth at the naming, half a
+sicle according to the standard of the temple. A sicle hath twenty
+obols. Half a sicle shall be offered to the Lord.
+
+Half a sicle... A sicle or shekel of silver, (which was also called a
+stater,) according to the standard or weight of the sanctuary, which was
+the most just and exact, was half an ounce of silver, that is, about
+half a crown of English money. The obol, or gerah, was about three
+halfpence.
+
+30:14. He that is counted in the number from twenty years and upwards,
+shall give the price.
+
+30:15. The rich man shall not add to half a sicle, and the poor man
+shall diminish nothing.
+
+30:16. And the money received, which was contributed by the children of
+Israel, thou shalt deliver unto the uses of the tabernacle of the
+testimony, that it may be a memorial of them before the Lord, and he may
+be merciful to their souls.
+
+30:17. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
+
+30:18. Thou shalt make also a brazen laver with its foot to wash in: and
+thou shalt set it between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar.
+And water being put into it:
+
+30:19. Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and feet in it:
+
+30:20. When they are going into the tabernacle of the testimony, and
+when they are to come to the altar, to offer on it incense to the Lord,
+
+30:21. Lest perhaps they die. It shall be an everlasting law to him, and
+to his seed by successions.
+
+30:22. And the Lord spoke to Moses,
+
+30:23. Saying: Take spices, of principal and chosen myrrh five hundred
+sicles, and of cinnamon half so much; that is, two hundred and fifty
+sicles, of calamus in like manner two hundred and fifty,
+
+30:24. And of cassia five hundred sicles by the weight of the sanctuary,
+of oil of olives the measure hin:
+
+30:25. And thou shalt make the holy oil of unction, an ointment
+compounded after the art of the perfumer,
+
+30:26. And therewith thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the testimony,
+and the ark of the testament,
+
+30:27. And the table with the vessels thereof, the candlestick and
+furniture thereof, the altars of incense,
+
+30:28. And of holocaust, and all the furniture that belongeth to the
+service of them.
+
+30:29. And thou shalt sanctify all, and they shall be most holy: he that
+shall touch them shall be sanctified.
+
+30:30. Thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and shalt sanctify them,
+that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.
+
+30:31. And thou shalt say to the children of Israel: This oil of unction
+shall be holy unto me throughout your generations.
+
+30:32. The flesh of man shall not be anointed therewith, and you shall
+make none other of the same composition, because it is sanctified, and
+shall be holy unto you.
+
+30:33. What man soever shall compound such, and shall give thereof to a
+stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.
+
+30:34. And the Lord said to Moses: Take unto thee spices, stacte, and
+onycha, galbanum of sweet savour, and the clearest frankincense, all
+shall be of equal weight.
+
+30:35. And thou shalt make incense compounded by the work of the
+perfumer, well tempered together, and pure, and most worthy of
+sanctification.
+
+30:36. And when thou hast beaten all into very small powder, thou shalt
+set of it before the tabernacle of the testimony, in the place where I
+will appear to thee.  Most holy shall this incense be unto you.
+
+30:37. You shall not make such a composition for your own uses, because
+it is holy to the Lord.
+
+30:38. What man soever shall make the like, to enjoy the smell thereof,
+he shall perish out of his people.
+
+Exodus Chapter 31
+
+Beseleel and Ooliab are appointed by the Lord to make the tabernacle,
+and the things belonging thereto. The observation of the sabbath day is
+again commanded. And the Lord delivereth to Moses two tables written
+with the finger of God.
+
+31:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
+
+31:2. Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Uri, the son of
+Hur, of the tribe of Juda,
+
+31:3. And I have filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and
+understanding, and knowledge in all manner of work,
+
+31:4. To devise whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver,
+and brass,
+
+31:5. Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood.
+
+31:6. And I have given him for his companion Ooliab, the son of
+Achisamech, of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the heart of
+every skilful man, that they may make all things which I have commanded
+thee,
+
+31:7. The tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and
+the propitiatory, that is over it, and all the vessels of the
+tabernacle,
+
+31:8. And the table and the vessels thereof, the most pure candlestick
+with the vessels thereof, and the altars of incense,
+
+31:9. And of holocaust, and all their vessels, the laver with its foot,
+
+31:10. The holy vestments in the ministry for Aaron the priest, and for
+his sons, that they may execute their office, about the sacred things:
+
+31:11. The oil of unction, and the incense of spices in the sanctuary,
+all things which I have commanded thee, shall they make.
+
+31:12. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
+
+31:13. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: See
+that you keep my sabbath; because it is a sign between me and you in
+your generations that you may know that I am the Lord, who sanctify you.
+
+31:14. keep you my sabbath: for it is holy unto you: he that shall
+profane it, shall be put to death: he that shall do any work in it, his
+soul shall perish out of the midst of his people.
+
+31:15. Six days shall you do work: in the seventh day is the sabbath,
+the rest holy to the Lord. Every one that shall do any work on this day,
+shall die.
+
+31:16. Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in
+their generations. It is an everlasting covenant.
+
+31:17. Between me and the children of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For
+in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased
+from work.
+
+31:18. And the Lord, when he had ended these words in Mount Sinai, gave
+to Moses two stone tables of testimony, written with the finger of God.
+
+Exodus Chapter 32
+
+The people fall into idolatry. Moses prayeth for them. He breaketh the
+tables: destroyeth the idol: blameth Aaron, and causeth many of the
+idolaters to be slain.
+
+32:1. And the people seeing that Moses delayed to come down from the
+mount, gathering together against Aaron, said: Arise, make us gods, that
+may go before us: For as to this Moses, the man that brought us out of
+the land of Egypt, we know not what has befallen him.
+
+32:2. And Aaron said to them: Take the golden earrings from the ears of
+your wives, and your sons and daughters, and bring them to me.
+
+32:3. And the people did what he had commanded, bringing the earrings to
+Aaron.
+
+32:4. And when he had received them, he fashioned them by founders'
+work, and made of them a molten calf. And they said: These are thy gods,
+O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
+
+32:5. And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it, and made
+proclamation by a crier's voice, saying To morrow is the solemnity of
+the Lord.
+
+32:6. And rising in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace
+victims, and the people sat down to eat and drink, and they rose up to
+play.
+
+32:7. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Go, get thee down: thy
+people, which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath sinned.
+
+32:8. They have quickly strayed from the way which thou didst shew them:
+and they have made to themselves a molten calf, and have adored it, and
+sacrificing victims to it, have said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that
+have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
+
+32:9. And again the Lord said to Moses: I see that this people is
+stiffnecked:
+
+32:10. Let me alone, that my wrath may be kindled against them, and that
+I may destroy them, and I will make of thee a great nation.
+
+32:11. But Moses besought the Lord his God, saying: Why, O Lord, is thy
+indignation enkindled against thy people, whom thou hast brought out of
+the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a mighty hand?
+
+32:12. Let not the Egyptians say, I beseech thee: He craftily brought
+them out, that he might kill them in the mountains, and destroy them
+from the earth: let thy anger cease, and be appeased upon the wickedness
+of thy people.
+
+32:13. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou
+sworest by thy own self, saying: I will multiply your seed as the stars
+of heaven: and this whole land that I have spoken of, I will give to
+your seed, and you shall possess it for ever:
+
+32:14. And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken
+against his people.
+
+32:15. And Moses returned from the mount, carrying the two tables of the
+testimony in his hand, written on both sides,
+
+32:16. And made by the work of God; the writing also of God was graven
+in the tables.
+
+32:17. And Josue hearing the noise of the people shouting, said to
+Moses: The noise of battle is heard in the camp.
+
+32:18. But he answered: It is not the cry of men encouraging to fight,
+nor the shout of men compelling to flee: but I hear the voice of
+singers.
+
+32:19. And when he came nigh to the camp, he saw the calf, and the
+dances: and being very angry, he threw the tables out of his hand, and
+broke them at the foot of the mount:
+
+32:20. And laying hold of the calf which they had made, he burnt it, and
+beat it to powder, which he strewed into water, and gave thereof to the
+children of Israel to drink.
+
+32:21. And he said to Aaron: What has this people done to thee, that
+thou shouldst bring upon them a most heinous sin?
+
+32:22. And he answered him: Let not my lord be offended; for thou
+knowest this people, that they are prone to evil.
+
+32:23. They said to me: make us gods, that may go before us; for as to
+this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not
+what is befallen him.
+
+32:24. And I said to them: Which of you hath any gold? and they took and
+brought it to me; and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out.
+
+32:25. And when Moses saw that the people were naked, (for Aaron had
+stripped them by occasion of the shame of the filth, and had set them
+naked among their enemies)
+
+Naked... Having lost not only their gold, and their honour, but what was
+worst of all, being stripped also of the grace of God, and having lost
+him.-The shame of the filth... That is, of the idol, which they had
+taken for their god. It is the usual phrase of the scripture to call
+idols filth and abominations.
+
+32:26. Then standing in the gate of the camp, he said: If any man be on
+the Lord's side, let him join with me. And all the sons of Levi gathered
+themselves together unto him:
+
+32:27. And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Put every
+man his sword upon his thigh: go, and return from gate to gate through
+the midst of the camp, and let every man kill his brother, and friend,
+and neighbour.
+
+32:28. And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and
+there were slain that day about three and twenty thousand men.
+
+32:29. And Moses said: You have consecrated your hands this day to the
+Lord, every man in his son and in his brother, that a blessing may be
+given to you.
+
+32:30. And when the next day was come, Moses spoke to the people: You
+have sinned a very great sin: I will go up to the Lord, if by any means
+I may be able to entreat him for your crime.
+
+32:31. And returning to the Lord, he said: I beseech thee: this people
+hath sinned a heinous sin, and they have made to themselves gods of
+gold: either forgive them this trespass,
+
+32:32. Or if thou do not, strike me out of the book that thou hast
+written.
+
+32:33. And the Lord answered him: He that hath sinned against me, him
+will I strike out of my book:
+
+32:34. But go thou, and lead this people whither I have told thee: my
+angel shall go before thee. And I in the day of revenge will visit this
+sin also of theirs.
+
+32:35. The Lord therefore struck the people for the guilt, on occasion
+of the calf which Aaron had made.
+
+Exodus Chapter 33
+
+The people mourn for their sin. Moses pitcheth the tabernacle without
+the camp. He converseth familiarly with God. Desireth to see his glory.
+
+33:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Go, get thee up from this
+place, thou and thy people which thou hast brought out of the land of
+Egypt, into the land concerning which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and
+Jacob, saying: To thy seed I will give it:
+
+33:2. And I will send an angel before thee, that I may cast out the
+Chanaanite, and the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and
+the Hevite, and the Jebusite,
+
+33:3. That thou mayst enter into the land that floweth with milk and
+honey. For I will not go up with thee, because thou art a stiffnecked
+people; lest I destroy thee in the way.
+
+33:4. And the people hearing these very bad tidings, mourned: and no man
+put on his ornaments according to custom.
+
+33:5. And the Lord said to Moses: Say to the children of Israel: Thou
+art a stiffnecked people, once I shall come up in the midst of thee, and
+shall destroy thee.  Now presently lay aside thy ornaments, that I may
+know what to do to thee.
+
+33:6. So the children of Israel laid aside their ornaments by Mount
+Horeb.
+
+33:7. Moses also taking the tabernacle, pitched it without the camp afar
+off, and called the name thereof, The tabernacle of the covenant. And
+all the people, that had any question, went forth to the tabernacle of
+the covenant, without the camp.
+
+33:8. And when Moses went forth to the tabernacle, all the people rose
+up, and every one stood in the door of his pavilion, and they beheld the
+back of Moses, till he went into the tabernacle.
+
+33:9. And when he was gone into the tabernacle of the covenant, the
+pillar of the cloud came down, and stood at the door, and he spoke with
+Moses.
+
+33:10. And all saw that the pillar of the cloud stood at the door of the
+tabernacle. And they stood and worshipped at the doors of their tent.
+
+33:11. And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man is wont to
+speak to his friend. And when he returned into the camp, his servant
+Josue, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from the tabernacle.
+
+Face to face... That is, in a most familiar manner. Though as we learn
+from this very chapter, Moses could not see the face of the Lord.
+
+33:12. And Moses said to the Lord: Thou commandest me to lead forth this
+people; and thou dost not let me know whom thou wilt send with me,
+especially whereas thou hast said: I know thee by name, and thou hast
+found favour in my sight.
+
+I know thee by name... In the language of the scriptures, God is said to
+know such as he approves and loves: and to know by name, those whom he
+favours in a most singular manner, as he did his servant Moses.
+
+33:13. If therefore I have found favour in thy sight, shew me thy face,
+that I may know thee, and may find grace before thy eyes: look upon thy
+people this nation.
+
+33:14. And the Lord said: My face shall go before thee, and I will give
+thee rest.
+
+33:15. And Moses said: If thou thyself dost not go before, bring us not
+out of this place.
+
+33:16. For how shall we be able to know, I and thy people, that we have
+found grace in thy sight, unless thou walk with us, that we may be
+glorified by all people that dwell upon the earth?
+
+33:17. And the Lord said to Moses: This word also, which thou hast
+spoken, will I do; for thou hast found grace before me, and thee I have
+known by name.
+
+33:18. And he said: Shew me thy glory.
+
+33:19. He answered: I will shew thee all good, and I will proclaim in
+the name of the Lord before thee: and I will have mercy on whom I will,
+and I will be merciful to whom it shall please me.
+
+33:20. And again he said: Thou canst not see my face: for man shall not
+see me, and live.
+
+33:21. And again he said: Behold there is a place with me, and thou
+shalt stand upon the rock.
+
+33:22. And when my glory shall pass, I will set thee in a hole of the
+rock, and protect thee with my righthand till I pass:
+
+33:23. And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back parts:
+but my face thou canst not see.
+
+See my back parts... The Lord by his angel, usually spoke to Moses in
+the pillar of the cloud; so that he could not see the glory of him that
+spoke familiarly with him. In the vision here mentioned he was allowed
+to see something of him, in an assumed corporeal form: not in the face,
+the rays of which were too bright for mortal eye to bear, but to view
+him as it were behind, when his face was turned from him.
+
+Exodus Chapter 34
+
+The tables are renewed: all society with the Chanaanites is forbid: some
+precepts concerning the firstborn, the sabbath, and other feasts: after
+forty days' fast, Moses returneth to the people with the commandments,
+and his face appearing horned with rays of light, he covereth it,
+whensoever he speaketh to the people.
+
+34:1. And after this he said: Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the
+former, and I will write upon them the words, which were in the tables,
+which thou brokest.
+
+34:2. Be ready in the morning, that thou mayst forthwith go up into
+Mount Sinai, and thou shalt stand with me upon the top of the mount.
+
+34:3. Let no man go up with thee, and let not any man be seen throughout
+all the mount; neither let the oxen nor the sheep feed over against it.
+
+34:4. Then he cut out two tables of stone, such as had been before; and
+rising very early he went up into the Mount Sinai, as the Lord had
+commanded him, carrying with him the tables.
+
+34:5. And when the Lord was come down in a cloud, Moses stood with him,
+calling upon the name of the Lord.
+
+34:6. And when he passed before him, he said: O the Lord, the Lord God,
+merciful and gracious, patient and of much compassion, and true,
+
+34:7. Who keepest mercy unto thousands: who takest away iniquity, and
+wickedness, and sin, and no man of himself is innocent before thee. Who
+renderest the iniquity of the fathers to the children, and to the
+grandchildren unto the third and fourth generation.
+
+34:8. And Moses making haste, bowed down prostrate unto the earth, and
+adoring,
+
+34:9. Said: If I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, I beseech thee
+that thou wilt go with us, (for it is a stiffnecked people) and take
+away our iniquities and sin, and possess us.
+
+34:10. The Lord answered: I will make a covenant in the sight of all, I
+will do signs such as were never seen upon the earth, nor in any
+nations; that this people, in the midst of whom thou art, may see the
+terrible work of the Lord which I will do.
+
+34:11. Observe all things which this day I command thee: I myself will
+drive out before thy face the Amorrhite, and the Chanaanite, and the
+Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite.
+
+34:12. Beware thou never join in friendship with the inhabitants of that
+land, which may be thy ruin:
+
+34:13. But destroy their altars, break their statues and cut down their
+groves:
+
+34:14. Adore not any strange god. The Lord his name is jealous, he is a
+jealous God.
+
+34:15. Make no covenant with the men of those countries; lest, when they
+have committed fornication with their gods, and have adored their idols,
+some one call thee to eat of the things sacrificed.
+
+34:16. Neither shalt thou take of their daughters a wife for thy son,
+lest after they themselves have committed fornication, they make thy
+sons also to commit fornication with their gods.
+
+34:17. Thou shalt not make to thyself any molten gods.
+
+34:18: Thou shalt keep the feast of the unleavened bread. Seven days
+shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee in the time of the
+month of the new corn: for in the month of the spring time thou camest
+out from Egypt.
+
+34:19. All of the male kind that openeth the womb, shall be mine. Of all
+beasts; both of oxen and of sheep, it shall be mine.
+
+34:20. The firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a sheep: but if
+thou wilt not give a price for it, it shall be slain. The firstborn of
+thy sons thou shalt redeem: neither shalt thou appear before me empty.
+
+34:21. Six days shalt thou work, the seventh day thou shalt cease to
+plough and to reap.
+
+34:22. Thou shalt keep the feast of weeks with the firstfruits of the
+corn of thy wheat harvest, and the feast when the time of the year
+returneth that all things are laid in.
+
+34:23. Three times in the year all thy males shall appear in the sight
+of the almighty Lord the God of Israel.
+
+34:24. For when I shall have taken away the nations from thy face, and
+shall have enlarged thy borders, no man shall lie in wait against thy
+land when thou shalt go up, and appear in the sight of the Lord thy God
+thrice in a year.
+
+34:25. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice upon leaven;
+neither shall there remain in the morning any thing of the victim of the
+solemnity of the Phase.
+
+34:26. The first of the fruits of thy ground thou shalt offer in the
+house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his
+dam.
+
+34:27. And the Lord said to Moses: Write thee these words, by which I
+have made a covenant both with thee and with Israel.
+
+34:28. And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights: he
+neither ate bread nor drank water, and he wrote upon the tables the ten
+words of the covenant.
+
+34:29. And when Moses came down from the Mount Sinai, he held the two
+tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from
+the conversation of the Lord.
+
+Horned... That is, shining, and sending forth rays of light like horns.
+
+34:30. And Aaron and the children of Israel seeing the face of Moses
+horned, were afraid to come near.
+
+34:31. And being called by him, they returned, both Aaron and the rulers
+of the congregation. And after that he spoke to them,
+
+34:32. And all the children of Israel came to him: and he gave them in
+commandment all that he had heard of the Lord on Mount Sinai.
+
+34:33. And having done speaking, he put a veil upon his face.
+
+34:34. But when he went in to the Lord, and spoke with him, he took it
+away until he came forth, and then he spoke to the children of Israel
+all things that had been commanded him.
+
+34:35. And they saw that the face of Moses when he came out was horned,
+but he covered his face again, if at any time he spoke to them.
+
+Exodus Chapter 35
+
+The sabbath. Offerings for making the tabernacle. Beseleel and Ooliab
+are called to the work.
+
+35:1. And all the multitude of the children of Israel being gathered
+together, he said to them: These are the things which the Lord hath
+commanded to be done:
+
+35:2. Six days you shall do work; the seventh day shall be holy unto
+you, the sabbath and the rest of the Lord: he that shall do any work on
+it, shall be put to death.
+
+35:3. You shall kindle no fire in any of your habitations on the sabbath
+day.
+
+35:4. And Moses said to all the assembly of the children of Israel: This
+is the word the Lord hath commanded, saying:
+
+35:5. Set aside with you firstfruits to the Lord. Let every one that is
+willing and hath a ready heart, offer them to the Lord: gold, and
+silver, and brass,
+
+35:6. Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, goats'
+hair,
+
+35:7. And rams' skins dyed red, and violet coloured skins, setim wood,
+
+35:8. And oil to maintain lights, and to make ointment, and most sweet
+incense,
+
+35:9. Onyx stones, and precious stones, for the adorning of the ephod
+and the rational.
+
+35:10. Whosoever of you is wise, let him come, and make that which the
+Lord hath commanded:
+
+35:11. To wit, the tabernacle, and the roof thereof, and the cover, the
+rings, and the board-work with the bars, the pillars and the sockets:
+
+35:12. The ark and the staves, the propitiatory, and the veil that is
+drawn before it:
+
+35:13. The table with the bars and the vessels, and the loaves of
+proposition:
+
+35:14. The candlestick to bear up the lights, the vessels thereof and
+the lamps, and the oil for the nourishing of fires:
+
+35:15. The altar of incense, and the bars, and the oil of unction, and
+the incense of spices: the hanging at the door of the tabernacle:
+
+35:16. The altar of holocaust, and its grate of brass, with the bars and
+vessels thereof: the laver and its foot:
+
+35:17. The curtains of the court, with the pillars and the sockets, the
+hanging in the doors of the entry.
+
+35:18. The pins of the tabernacle, and of the court, with their little
+cords:
+
+35:19. The vestments that are to be used in the ministry of the
+sanctuary, the vesture of Aaron the high priest, and of his sons, to do
+the office of priesthood to me.
+
+35:20. And all the multitude of the children of Israel going out from
+the presence of Moses,
+
+35:21. Offered firstfruits to the Lord with a most ready and devout
+mind, to make the work of the tabernacle of the testimony. Whatever was
+necessary to the service and to the holy vestments,
+
+35:22. Both men and women gave bracelets and earrings, rings and
+tablets: every vessel of gold was set aside to be offered to the Lord.
+
+35:23. If any man had violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, fine
+linen and goats' hair, ramskins dyed red, and violet coloured skins,
+
+35:24. Metal of silver and brass, they offered it to the Lord, and setim
+wood for divers uses.
+
+35:25. The skilful women also gave such things as they had spun, violet,
+purple, and scarlet, and fine linen,
+
+35:26. And goats' hair, giving all of their own accord.
+
+35:27. But the princes offered onyx stones, and precious stones, for the
+ephod and the rational,
+
+35:28. And spices and oil for the lights, and for the preparing of
+ointment, and to make the incense of most sweet savour.
+
+35:29. All, both men and women, with devout mind offered gifts, that the
+works might be done which the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
+All the children of Israel dedicated voluntary offerings to the Lord.
+
+35:30. And Moses said to the children of Israel: Behold, the Lord hath
+called by name Beseleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of
+Juda,
+
+35:31. And hath filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and
+understanding, and knowledge, and all learning,
+
+35:32. To devise and to work in gold and silver and brass,
+
+35:33. And in engraving stones, and in carpenters' work. Whatsoever can
+be devised artificially,
+
+35:34. He hath given in his heart: Ooliab also, the son of Achisamech,
+of the tribe of Dan:
+
+35:35. Both of them hath he instructed with wisdom, to do carpenters'
+work, and tapestry, and embroidery in blue and purple, and scarlet twice
+dyed, and fine linen, and to weave all things, and to invent all new
+things.
+
+Exodus Chapter 36
+
+The offerings are delivered to the workmen, the curtains, coverings,
+boards, bars, veil, pillars, and hanging are made.
+
+36:1. Beseleel therefore, and Ooliab, and every wise man, to whom the
+Lord gave wisdom and understanding, to know how to work artificially,
+made the things that are necessary for the uses of the sanctuary, and
+which the Lord commanded.
+
+36:2. And when Moses had called them, and every skilful man, to whom the
+Lord had given wisdom, and such as of their own accord had offered
+themselves to the making of the work,
+
+36:3. He delivered all the offerings of the children of Israel unto
+them. And while they were earnest about the work, the people daily in
+the morning offered their vows.
+
+36:4. Whereupon the workmen being constrained to come,
+
+36:5. Said to Moses: The people offereth more than is necessary.
+
+36:6. Moses therefore commanded proclamation to be made by the crier's
+voice: Let neither man nor woman offer any more for the work of the
+sanctuary. And so they ceased from offering gifts,
+
+36:7. Because the things that were offered did suffice, and were too
+much.
+
+36:8. And all the men that were wise of heart, to accomplish the work of
+the tabernacle, made ten curtains of twisted fine linen, and violet, and
+purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with varied work, and the art of
+embroidering:
+
+36:9. The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth
+four: all the curtains were of the same size.
+
+36:10. And he joined five curtains, one to another, and the other five
+he coupled one to another.
+
+36:11. He made also loops of violet in the edge of one curtain on both
+sides, and in the edge of the other curtain in like manner,
+
+36:12. That the loops might meet one against another, and might be
+joined each with the other.
+
+36:13. Whereupon also he cast fifty rings of gold, that might catch the
+loops of the curtains, and they might be made one tabernacle.
+
+36:14. He made also eleven curtains of goats' hair, to cover the roof of
+the tabernacle:
+
+36:15. One curtain was thirty cubits long, and four cubits broad: all
+the curtains were of one measure.
+
+36:16. Five of which he joined apart, and the other six apart.
+
+36:17. And he made fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, and fifty in
+the edge of another curtain, that they might be joined one to another.
+
+36:18. And fifty buckles of brass wherewith the roof might be knit
+together, that of all the curtains there might be made one covering.
+
+36:19. He made also a cover for the tabernacle of rams' skins dyed red;
+and another cover over that of violet skins.
+
+36:20. He made also the boards of the tabernacle of setim wood standing.
+
+36:21. The length of one board was ten cubits; and the breadth was one
+cubit and a half.
+
+36:22. There were two mortises throughout every board, that one might be
+joined to the other. And in this manner he made for all the boards of
+the tabernacle.
+
+36:23. Of which twenty were at the south side southward,
+
+36:24. With forty sockets of silver, two sockets were put under one
+board on the two sides of the corners, where the mortises of the sides
+end in the corners.
+
+36:25. At that side also of the tabernacle, that looketh towards the
+north, he made twenty boards,
+
+36:26. With forty sockets of silver, two sockets for every board.
+
+36:27. But against the west, to wit, at that side of the tabernacle,
+which looketh to the sea, he made six boards,
+
+36:28. And two others at each corner of the tabernacle behind:
+
+36:29. Which were also joined from beneath unto the top, and went
+together into one joint. Thus he did on both sides at the corners:
+
+36:30. So there were in all eight boards, and they had sixteen sockets
+of silver, to wit, two sockets under every board.
+
+36:31. He made also bars of setim wood, five to hold together the boards
+of one side of the tabernacle,
+
+36:32. And five others to join together the boards of the other side;
+and besides these, five other bars at the west side of the tabernacle
+towards the sea.
+
+36:33. He made also another bar, that might come by the midst of the
+boards from corner to corner.
+
+36:34. And the boards themselves he overlaid with gold casting for them
+sockets of silver. And their rings he made of gold, through which the
+bars might be drawn: and he covered the bars themselves with plates of
+gold.
+
+36:35. He made also a veil of violet, and purple, scarlet and fine
+twisted linen, varied and distinguished with embroidery:
+
+36:36. And four pillars of setim wood, which with their heads he
+overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver.
+
+36:37. He made also a hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of violet,
+purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, with the work of an
+embroiderer.
+
+36:38. And five pillars with their heads, which he covered with gold,
+and their sockets he cast of brass.
+
+Exodus Chapter 37
+
+Beseleel maketh the ark: the propitiatory, and cherubims, the table, the
+candlestick, the lamps, and the altar of incense, and compoundeth the
+incense.
+
+37:1. And Beseleel made also, the ark of setim wood: it was two cubits
+and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth, and the height
+was of one cubit and a half: and he overlaid it with the purest gold
+within and without.
+
+37:2. And he made to it a crown of gold round about,
+
+37:3. Casting four rings of gold at the four corners thereof: two rings
+in one side, and two in the other.
+
+37:4. And he made bars of setim wood, which he overlaid with gold,
+
+37:5. And he put them into the rings that were at the sides of the ark
+to carry it.
+
+37:6. He made also the propitiatory, that is, the oracle, of the purest
+gold, two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in
+breadth.
+
+37:7. Two cherubims also of beaten gold, which he set on the two sides
+of the propitiatory:
+
+37:8. One cherub in the top of one side, and the other cherub in the top
+of the other side: two cherubims at the two ends of the propitiatory,
+
+37:9. Spreading their wings, and covering the propitiatory, and looking
+one towards the other, and towards it.
+
+37:10. He made also the table of setim wood, in length two cubits, and
+in breadth one cubit, and in height it was a cubit and a half.
+
+37:11. And he overlaid it with the finest gold, and he made to it a
+golden ledge round about,
+
+37:12. And to the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, of four
+fingers breadth, and upon the same another golden crown.
+
+37:13. And he cast four rings of gold, which he put in the four corners
+at each foot of the table,
+
+37:14. Over against the crown: and he put the bars into them, that the
+table might be carried.
+
+37:15. The bars also themselves he made of setim wood, and overlaid them
+with gold.
+
+37:16. And the vessels for the divers uses of the table, dishes, bowls,
+and cups, and censers of pure gold, wherein the libations are to be
+offered.
+
+37:17. He made also the candlestick of beaten work of the finest gold.
+from the shaft whereof its branches, its cups, and bowls, and lilies
+came out:
+
+37:18: Six on the two sides: three branches on one side, and three on
+the other.
+
+37:19. Three cups in manner of a nut on each branch, and bowls withal
+and lilies: and three cups of the fashion of a nut in another branch,
+and bowls withal and lilies. The work of the six branches, that went out
+from the shaft of the candlestick was equal.
+
+37:20. And in the shaft itself were four cups after the manner of a nut,
+and bowls withal at every one, and lilies:
+
+37:21. And bowls under two branches in three places, which together made
+six branches going out from one shaft.
+
+37:22. So both the bowls, and the branches were of the same, all beaten
+work of the purest gold.
+
+37:23. He made also the seven lamps with their snuffers, and the vessels
+where the snuffings were to be put out, of the purest gold.
+
+37:24. The candlestick with all the vessels thereof weighed a talent of
+gold.
+
+37:25. He made also the alter of incense of setim wood, being a cubit on
+every side foursquare, and in height two cubits: from the corners of
+which went out horns.
+
+37:26. And he overlaid it with the purest gold, with its grate, and the
+sides, and the horns.
+
+37:27. And he made to it a crown of gold round about, and two golden
+rings under the crown at each side, that the bars might be put into
+them, and the altar be carried.
+
+37:28. And the bars themselves he made also of setim wood, and overlaid
+them with plates of gold.
+
+37:29. He compounded also the oil for the ointment of sanctification,
+and incense of the purest spices, according to the work of a perfumer.
+
+Exodus Chapter 38
+
+He maketh the altar of holocaust. The brazen laver. The court with its
+pillars and hangings. The sum of what the people offered.
+
+38:1. He made also the altar of holocaust of setim wood, five cubits
+square, and three in height:
+
+38:2. The horns whereof went out from the corners, and he overlaid it
+with plates of brass.
+
+38:3. And for the uses thereof, he prepared divers vessels of brass,
+cauldrons, tongs, fleshhooks, pothooks and firepans.
+
+38:4. And he made the grate thereof of brass, in manner of a net, and
+under it in the midst of the altar a hearth,
+
+38:5. Casting four rings at the four ends of the net at the top, to put
+in bars to carry it:
+
+38:6. And he made the bars of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates
+of brass:
+
+38:7. And he drew them through the rines that stood out in the sides of
+the altar. And the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, of boards,
+and empty within.
+
+38:8. He made also the laver of brass, with the foot thereof, of the
+mirrors of the women that watched at the door of the tabernacle.
+
+38:9. He made also the court, in the south side whereof were hangings of
+fine twisted linen of a hundred cubits.
+
+38:10. Twenty pillars of brass with their sockets, the beads of the
+pillars, and the whole graving of the work, of silver.
+
+38:11. In like manner at the north side the hangings, the pillars, and
+the sockets and heads of the pillars were of the same measure, and work
+and metal.
+
+38:12. But on that side that looketh to the west, there were hangings of
+fifty cubits, ten pillars of brass with their sockets, and the heads of
+the pillars, and all the graving of the work, of silver.
+
+38:13. Moreover, towards the east he prepared hangings of fifty cubits:
+
+38:14. Fifteen cubits of which, were on one side with three pillars, and
+their sockets:
+
+38:15. And on the other side (for between the two he made the entry of
+the tabernacle) there were hangings equally of fifteen cubits, and three
+pillars, and as many sockets.
+
+38:16. All the hangings of the court were woven with twisted linen.
+
+38:17. The sockets of the pillars were of brass, and their heads with
+all their gravings of silver: and he overlaid the pillars of the court
+also with silver.
+
+38:18. And he made in the entry thereof an embroidered hanging of
+violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, that was twenty cubits
+long, and five cubits high, according to the measnre of all the hangings
+of the court.
+
+38:19. And the pillars in the entry were four, with sockets of brass,
+and their heads and gravings of silver.
+
+38:20. The pins also of the tabernacle and of the court round about he
+made of brass.
+
+38:21. These are the instruments of the tabernacle of the testimony,
+which were counted according to the commandment of Moses, in the
+ceremonies of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the
+priest:
+
+38:22. Which Beseleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of
+Juda, had made, as the Lord commanded by Moses.
+
+38:23. Having for his companion Ooliab, the son of Achisamech, of the
+tribe of Dan: who also was an ex-cellent artificer in wood, and worker
+in tapestry and embroidery in violet, purple, scarlet, and fine linen.
+
+38:24. All the gold that was spent in the work of the sanctuary, and
+that was offered in gifts, was nine and twenty talents, and seven
+hundred and thirty sicles according to the standard of the sanctuary.
+
+38:25. And it was offered by them that went to be numbered, from twenty
+years old and upwards, of six hundred and three thousand five hundred
+and fifty men able to bear arms.
+
+38:26. There were moreover a hundred talents of silver, whereof were
+cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and of the entry where the veil
+hangeth.
+
+38:27. A hundred sockets were made of a hundred talents, one talent
+being reckoned for every socket.
+
+38:28. And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five he made the
+heads of the pillars, which also he overlaid with silver.
+
+38:29. And there were offered of brass also seventy-two thousand
+talents, and four hundred sicles besides,
+
+38:30. Of which were cast the sockets in the entry of the tabernacle of
+the testimony, and the altar of brass with the grate thereof, and also
+the vessels that belong to the use thereof.
+
+38:31. And the sockets of the court as well round about as in the entry
+thereof, and the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about.
+
+Exodus Chapter 39
+
+All the ornaments of Aaron and his sons are made. And the whole work of
+the tabernacle is finished.
+
+39:1. And he made, of violet and purple, scarlet and fine linen, the
+vestments for Aaron to wear when he ministered in the holy places, as
+the Lord commanded Moses.
+
+39:2. So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice
+dyed, and fine twisted linen,
+
+39:3. With embroidered work, and he cut thin plates of gold, and drew
+them small into threads, that they might be twisted with the woof of the
+foresaid colours,
+
+39:4. And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either
+side,
+
+39:5. And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
+
+39:6. He prepared also two onyx stones, fast set and closed in gold, and
+graven, by the art of a lapidary, with the names of the children of
+Israel:
+
+39:7. And he set them in the sides of the ephod, for a memorial of the
+children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
+
+39:8. He made also a rational with embroidered work, according to the
+work of the ephod, of gold, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and
+fine twisted linen:
+
+39:9. Foursquare, double, of the measure of a span.
+
+39:10. And he set four rows of precious stones in it. In the first row
+was a sardius, a topaz, an emerald.
+
+39:11. In the second, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.
+
+39:12. In the third, a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst.
+
+39:13. In the fourth, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, set and
+enclosed in gold by their rows.
+
+39:14. And the twelve stones, were engraved with the names of the twelve
+tribes of Israel, each one with its several name.
+
+39:15. They made also in the rational little chains, linked one to
+another, of the purest gold,
+
+39:16. And two hooks, and as many rings of gold. And they set the rings
+on either side of the rational,
+
+39:17. On which rings the two golden chains should hang, which they put
+into the hooks that stood out in the corners of the ephod.
+
+39:18. These both before and behind so answered one another, that the
+ephod and the rational were bound together,
+
+39:19. Being fastened to the girdle, and strongly coupled with rings,
+which a violet fillet joined, lest they should flag loose, and be moved
+one from the other, as the Lord commanded Moses.
+
+39:20. They made also the tunic of the ephod all of violet,
+
+39:21. And a hole for the head in the upper part at the middle, and a
+woven border round about the hole:
+
+39:22. And beneath at the feet pomegranates of violet, purple, scarlet,
+and fine twisted linen:
+
+39:23. And little bells of the purest gold, which they put between the
+pomegranates at the bottom of the tunic round about:
+
+39:24. To wit, a bell of gold, and a pomegranate, wherewith the high
+priest went adorned, when he discharged his ministry, as the Lord had
+commanded Moses.
+
+39:25. They made also fine linen tunics with woven work for Aaron and
+his sons:
+
+39:26. And mitres with their little crowns of fine linen:
+
+39:27. And linen breeches of fine linen:
+
+39:28. And a girdle of fine twisted linen, violet, purple, and scarlet
+twice dyed, of embroidery work, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
+
+39:29. They made also the plate of sacred veneration of the purest gold,
+and they wrote on it with the engraving of a lapidary: The Holy of the
+Lord:
+
+39:30. And they fastened it to the mitre with a violet fillet, as the
+Lord had commanded Moses.
+
+39:31. So all the work of the tabernacle and of the roof of the
+testimony was finished: and the children of Israel did all things which
+the Lord had commanded Moses.
+
+39:32. And they offered the tabernacle, and the roof, and the whole
+furniture, the rings, the boards, the bars, the pillars and their
+sockets,
+
+39:33. The cover of rams' skins dyed red, and the other cover of violet
+skins,
+
+39:34. The veil, the ark, the bars, the propitiatory,
+
+39:35. The table, with the vessels thereof, and the loaves of
+proposition:
+
+39:36. The candlestick, the lamps, and the furniture of them, with the
+oil:
+
+39:37. The altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of spices:
+
+39:38. And the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle:
+
+39:39. The altar of brass, the grate, the bars, and all the vessels
+thereof: the laver, with the foot thereof: the hangings of the court,
+and the pillars, with their sockets:
+
+39:40. The hanging in the entry of the court, and the little cords, and
+the pins thereof. Nothing was wanting of the vessels, that were
+commanded to be made for the ministry of the tabernacle, and for the
+roof of the covenant.
+
+39:41. The vestments also, which the priests, to wit, Aaron and his
+sons, use in the sanctuary,
+
+39:42. The children of Israel offered, as the Lord had commanded.
+
+39:43. And when Moses saw all things finished, he blessed them.
+
+Exodus Chapter 40
+
+The tabernacle is commanded to be set up and anointed. God filleth it
+with his majesty.
+
+40:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
+
+40:2. The first month, the first day of the month, thou shalt set up the
+tabernacle of the testimony,
+
+40:3. And shalt put the ark in it, and shalt let down the veil before
+it:
+
+40:4. And thou shalt bring in the table, and set upon it the things that
+are commanded according to the rite.  The candlestick shall stand with
+its lamps,
+
+40:5. And the altar of gold, whereon the incense is burnt before the ark
+of the testimony. Thou shalt put the hanging in the entry of the
+tabernacle,
+
+40:6. And before it the altar of holocaust.
+
+40:7. The laver between the altar and the tabernacle, and thou shalt
+fill it with water.
+
+40:8. And thou shalt encompass the court with hangings, and the entry
+thereof.
+
+40:9. And thou shalt take the oil of unction and anoint the tabernacle
+with its vessels, that they may be sanctified:
+
+40:10. The altar of holocaust and all its vessels:
+
+40:11. The laver with its foot: thou shalt consecrate all with the oil
+of unction, that they may be most holy.
+
+40:12. And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the
+tabernacle of the testimony, and having washed them with water,
+
+40:13. Thou shalt put on them the holy vestments, that they may minister
+to me, and that the unction of them may prosper to an everlasting
+priesthood.
+
+40:14. And Moses did all that the Lord had commanded.
+
+40:15. So in the first month of the second year, the first day of the
+month, the tabernacle was set up.
+
+40:16. And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and
+the bars, and set up the pillars,
+
+40:17. And spread the roof over the tabernacle, putting over it a cover,
+as the Lord had commanded.
+
+40:18. And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath,
+and the oracle above.
+
+40:19. And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the
+veil before it to fulfil the command ment of the Lord.
+
+40:20. And he set the table in the tabernacle of the testimony, at the
+north side, without the veil,
+
+40:21. Setting there in order the loaves of proposition, as the Lord had
+commanded Moses.
+
+40:22. He set the candlestick also in the tabernacle of the testimony,
+over against the table on the south side,
+
+40:23. Placing the lamps in order, according to the precept of the Lord.
+
+40:24. He set also the altar of gold under the roof of the testimony,
+over against the veil,
+
+40:25. And burnt upon it the incense of spices, as the Lord had
+commanded Moses.
+
+40:26. And he put also the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of the
+testimony,
+
+40:27. And the altar of holocaust in the entry of the testimony,
+offering the holocaust, and the sacrifices upon it, as the Lord had
+commanded.
+
+40:28. And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the testimony and
+the altar, filling it with water.
+
+40:29. And Moses and Aaron, and his sons, washed their hands and feet,
+
+40:30. When they went into the tabernacle of the covenant, and went to
+the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
+
+40:31. He set up also the court round about the tabernacle and the
+altar, drawing the hanging in the entry thereof. After all things were
+perfected,
+
+40:32. The cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory
+of the Lord filled it.
+
+40:33. Neither could Moses go into the tabernacle of the covenant, the
+cloud covering all things, and the majesty of the Lord shining, for the
+cloud had covered all.
+
+40:34. If at any time the cloud removed from the tabernacle, the
+children of Israel went forward by their troops:
+
+40:35. If it hung over, they remained in the same place.
+
+40:36. For the cloud of the Lord hung over the tabernacle by day, and a
+fire by night, in the sight of all the children of Israel throughout all
+their mansions.

+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til

+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.

+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is

+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
