02:016:005 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall
prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as
much as they gather daily.

02:016:006 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At
even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out
from the land of Egypt:

02:016:007 And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD;
for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what
are we, that ye murmur against us?

02:016:008 And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in
the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the
full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye
murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not
against us, but against the LORD.

02:016:009 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of
the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath
heard your murmurings.

02:016:010 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole
congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked
toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD
appeared in the cloud.

02:016:011 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

02:016:012 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak
unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the
morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that
I am the LORD your God.

02:016:013 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and
covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about
the host.

02:016:014 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face
of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as
the hoar frost on the ground.

02:016:015 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to
another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses
said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given
you to eat.

02:016:016 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it
every man according to his eating, an omer for every man,
according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for
them which are in his tents.

02:016:017 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more,
some less.

02:016:018 And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much
had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack;
they gathered every man according to his eating.

02:016:019 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.

02:016:020 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of
them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and
stank: and Moses was wroth with them.

02:016:021 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his
eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

02:016:022 And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice
as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of
the congregation came and told Moses.

02:016:023 And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said,
To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake
that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will
seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be
kept until the morning.

02:016:024 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it
did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.

02:016:025 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto
the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.

02:016:026 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is
the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

02:016:027 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on
the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.

02:016:028 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my
commandments and my laws?

02:016:029 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore
he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye
every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the
seventh day.

02:016:030 So the people rested on the seventh day.

02:016:031 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it
was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like
wafers made with honey.

02:016:032 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth,
Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they
may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness,
when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.

02:016:033 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of
manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for
your generations.

02:016:034 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the
Testimony, to be kept.

02:016:035 And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until
they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they
came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

02:016:036 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.

02:017:001 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed
from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to
the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and
there was no water for the people to drink.

02:017:002 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us
water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide
ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?

02:017:003 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people
murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou
hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children
and our cattle with thirst?

02:017:004 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto
this people? they be almost ready to stone me.

02:017:005 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and
take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith
thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.

02:017:006 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb;
and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out
of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the
sight of the elders of Israel.

02:017:007 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah,
because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because
they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?

02:017:008 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

02:017:009 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out,
fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the
hill with the rod of God in mine hand.

02:017:010 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with
Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the
hill.

02:017:011 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel
prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

02:017:012 But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it
under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his
hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other
side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the
sun.

02:017:013 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of
the sword.

02:017:014 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a
book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will
utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.

02:017:015 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it
Jehovahnissi:

02:017:016 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will
have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

02:018:001 When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law, heard
of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people,
and that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt;

02:018:002 Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife,
after he had sent her back,

02:018:003 And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom;
for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:

02:018:004 And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my
father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the
sword of Pharaoh:

02:018:005 And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his
wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the
mount of God:

02:018:006 And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come
unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.

02:018:007 And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did
obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their
welfare; and they came into the tent.

02:018:008 And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done
unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all
the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the
LORD delivered them.

02:018:009 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had
done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the
Egyptians.

02:018:010 And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you
out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of
Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of
the Egyptians.

02:018:011 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the
thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.

02:018:012 And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and
sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of
Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father in law before God.

02:018:013 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the
people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto
the evening.

02:018:014 And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the
people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the
people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people
stand by thee from morning unto even?

02:018:015 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come
unto me to enquire of God:

02:018:016 When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge
between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes
of God, and his laws.

02:018:017 And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou
doest is not good.

02:018:018 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is
with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not
able to perform it thyself alone.

02:018:019 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God
shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that
thou mayest bring the causes unto God:

02:018:020 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew
them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they
must do.

02:018:021 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men,
such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place
such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of
hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

02:018:022 And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be,
that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every
small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for
thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.

02:018:023 If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then
thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also
go to their place in peace.

02:018:024 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did
all that he had said.

02:018:025 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them
heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of
hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

02:018:026 And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes
they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged
themselves.

02:018:027 And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way
into his own land.

02:019:001 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone
forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into
the wilderness of Sinai.

02:019:002 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the
desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there
Israel camped before the mount.

02:019:003 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out
of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of
Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;

02:019:004 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you
on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.

02:019:005 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my
covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above
all people: for all the earth is mine:

02:019:006 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy
nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the
children of Israel.

02:019:007 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and
laid before their faces all these words which the LORD
commanded him.

02:019:008 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the
LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of
the people unto the LORD.

02:019:009 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick
cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and
believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people
unto the LORD.

02:019:010 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify
them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,

02:019:011 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD
will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount
Sinai.

02:019:012 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying,
Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or
touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be
surely put to death:

02:019:013 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be
stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall
not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up
to the mount.

02:019:014 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and
sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

02:019:015 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day:
come not at your wives.

02:019:016 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that
there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the
mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that
all the people that was in the camp trembled.

02:019:017 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet
with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

02:019:018 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD
descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as
the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

02:019:019 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed
louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a
voice.

02:019:020 And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the
mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount;
and Moses went up.

02:019:021 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest
they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them
perish.

02:019:022 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD,
sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.

02:019:023 And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to
mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about
the mount, and sanctify it.

02:019:024 And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou
shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the
priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD,
lest he break forth upon them.

02:019:025 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.

02:020:001 And God spake all these words, saying,

02:020:002 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land
of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

02:020:003 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

02:020:004 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any
likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in
the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

02:020:005 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I
the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of
the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth
generation of them that hate me;

02:020:006 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and
keep my commandments.

02:020:007 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for
the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in
vain.

02:020:008 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

02:020:009 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

02:020:010 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it
thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle,
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

02:020:011 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and
all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the
LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

02:020:012 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long
upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

02:020:013 Thou shalt not kill.

02:020:014 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

02:020:015 Thou shalt not steal.

02:020:016 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

02:020:017 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not
covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his
maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is
thy neighbour's.

02:020:018 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings,
and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and
when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

02:020:019 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will
hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

02:020:020 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to
prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye
sin not.

02:020:021 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the
thick darkness where God was.

02:020:022 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the
children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you
from heaven.

02:020:023 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye
make unto you gods of gold.

02:020:024 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice
thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy
sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I
will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

02:020:025 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not
build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it,
thou hast polluted it.

02:020:026 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy
nakedness be not discovered thereon.

02:021:001 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.

02:021:002 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and
in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

02:021:003 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he
were married, then his wife shall go out with him.

02:021:004 If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him
sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her
master's, and he shall go out by himself.

02:021:005 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my
wife, and my children; I will not go out free:

02:021:006 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also
bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master
shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him
for ever.

02:021:007 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall
not go out as the menservants do.

02:021:008 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to
himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a
strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt
deceitfully with her.

02:021:009 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with
her after the manner of daughters.

02:021:010 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her
duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

02:021:011 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out
free without money.

02:021:012 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to
death.

02:021:013 And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his
hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.

02:021:014 But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay
him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he
may die.

02:021:015 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely
put to death.

02:021:016 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found
in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

02:021:017 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be
put to death.

02:021:018 And if men strive together, and one smite another with a
stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:

02:021:019 If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall
he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of
his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.

02:021:020 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and
he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.

02:021:021 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be
punished: for he is his money.

02:021:022 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit
depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be
surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay
upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

02:021:023 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for
life,

02:021:024 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

02:021:025 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

02:021:026 And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his
maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's
sake.

02:021:027 And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his
maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's
sake.
