                                     Exodus


                                    Chapter 7


 14. And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened,
     he refuseth to let the people go.

 15. Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto
     the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against
     he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt
     thou take in thine hand.

 16. And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews
     hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they
     may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou
     wouldest not hear.

 17. Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the
     LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand
     upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be
     turned to blood.

 18. And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river
     shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the
     water of the river.

 19. And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod,
     and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon
     their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and
     upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood;
     and that there may be blood throughout all the land of
     Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.

 20. And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he
     lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the
     river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his
     servants; and all the waters that were in the river were
     turned to blood.

 21. And the fish that was in the river died; and the river
     stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the
     river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.

 22. And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments:
     and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken
     unto them; as the LORD had said.

 23. And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he
     set his heart to this also.

 24. And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water
     to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the
     river.

 25. And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had
     smitten the river.


                                    Chapter 8


  1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto
     him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may
     serve me.

  2. And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all
     thy borders with frogs:

  3. And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which
     shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy
     bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy
     servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and
     into thy kneadingtroughs:

  4. And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy
     people, and upon all thy servants.

  5. And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth
     thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers,
     and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land
     of Egypt.

  6. And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt;
     and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

  7. And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and
     brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.

  8. Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat
     the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from
     my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do
     sacrifice unto the LORD.

  9. And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I
     intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people,
     to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may
     remain in the river only?

 10. And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy
     word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the
     LORD our God.

 11. And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses,
     and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall
     remain in the river only.

 12. And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried
     unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought
     against Pharaoh.

 13. And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the
     frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out
     of the fields.

 14. And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land
     stank.

 15. But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his
     heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.

 16. And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out
     thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become
     lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

 17. And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his
     rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in
     man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice
     throughout all the land of Egypt.

 18. And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring
     forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man,
     and upon beast.

 19. Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of
     God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not
     unto them; as the LORD had said.

 20. And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning,
     and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water;
     and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go,
     that they may serve me.

 21. Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send
     swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon
     thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the
     Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the
     ground whereon they are.

 22. And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my
     people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the
     end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the
     earth.

 23. And I will put a division between my people and thy people:
     to morrow shall this sign be.

 24. And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of
     flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants'
     houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was
     corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.

 25. And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye,
     sacrifice to your God in the land.

 26. And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall
     sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our
     God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians
     before their eyes, and will they not stone us?

 27. We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and
     sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.

 28. And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice
     to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go
     very far away: intreat for me.

 29. And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will
     intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from
     Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow:
     but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting
     the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.

 30. And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.

 31. And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he
     removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants,
     and from his people; there remained not one.

 32. And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither
     would he let the people go.


                                    Chapter 9


  1. Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell
     him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people
     go, that they may serve me.

  2. For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,

  3. Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in
     the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels,
     upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very
     grievous murrain.

  4. And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and
     the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that
     is the children's of Israel.

  5. And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the
     LORD shall do this thing in the land.

  6. And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the
     cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of
     Israel died not one.

  7. And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the
     cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was
     hardened, and he did not let the people go.

  8. And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you
     handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it
     toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.

  9. And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and
     shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and
     upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.

 10. And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before
     Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it
     became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon
     beast.

 11. And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of
     the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all
     the Egyptians.

 12. And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened
     not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.

 13. And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning,
     and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the
     LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may
     serve me.

 14. For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine
     heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou
     mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.

 15. For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee
     and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off
     from the earth.

 16. And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for
     to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared
     throughout all the earth.

 17. As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou
     wilt not let them go?

 18. Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a
     very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the
     foundation thereof even until now.

 19. Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou
     hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall
     be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the
     hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.

 20. He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of
     Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the
     houses:

 21. And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his
     servants and his cattle in the field.

 22. And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand
     toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of
     Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the
     field, throughout the land of Egypt.

 23. And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the
     LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the
     ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

 24. So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very
     grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of
     Egypt since it became a nation.

 25. And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that
     was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote
     every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.

 26. Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel
     were, was there no hail.

 27. And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said
     unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous,
     and I and my people are wicked.

 28. Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more
     mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye
     shall stay no longer.

 29. And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the
     city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the
     thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail;
     that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD's.

 30. But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not
     yet fear the LORD God.

 31. And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was
     in the ear, and the flax was bolled.

 32. But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were
     not grown up.

 33. And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread
     abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail
     ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.

 34. And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the
     thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his
     heart, he and his servants.

 35. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let
     the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.


                                   Chapter 10


  1. And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have
     hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I
     might shew these my signs before him:

  2. And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy
     son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs
     which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am
     the LORD.

  3. And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him,
     Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou
     refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that
     they may serve me.

  4. Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow
     will I bring the locusts into thy coast:

  5. And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot
     be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of
     that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the
     hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of
     the field:

  6. And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy
     servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither
     thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the
     day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he
     turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.

  7. And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this
     man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve
     the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is
     destroyed?

  8. And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he
     said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are
     they that shall go?

  9. And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old,
     with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and
     with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the
     LORD.

 10. And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I
     will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil
     is before you.

 11. Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that
     ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's
     presence.

 12. And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over
     the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up
     upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even
     all that the hail hath left.

 13. And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt,
     and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that
     day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east
     wind brought the locusts.

 14. And the locust went up over all the land of Egypt, and
     rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they;
     before them there were no such locusts as they, neither
     after them shall be such.

 15. For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the
     land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land,
     and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and
     there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the
     herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

 16. Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he
     said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against
     you.

 17. Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once,
     and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me
     this death only.

 18. And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.

 19. And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took
     away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there
     remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.

 20. But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not
     let the children of Israel go.

 21. And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward
     heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt,
     even darkness which may be felt.

 22. And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there
     was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:

 23. They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place
     for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in
     their dwellings.

 24. And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the
     LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let
     your little ones also go with you.

 25. And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt
     offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.

 26. Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be
     left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our
     God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until
     we come thither.

 27. But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let
     them go.

 28. And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to
     thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my
     face thou shalt die.

 29. And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face
     again no more.


                                   Chapter 11


  1. And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague
     more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let
     you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely
     thrust you out hence altogether.

  2. Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man
     borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour,
     jewels of silver and jewels of gold.

  3. And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the
     Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land
     of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the
     sight of the people.

  4. And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I
     go out into the midst of Egypt:

  5. And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from
     the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even
     unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the
     mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.

  6. And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of
     Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it
     any more.

  7. But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog
     move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how
     that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians
     and Israel.

  8. And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow
     down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the
     people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And
     he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.

  9. And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto
     you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.

 10. And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh:
     and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not
     let the children of Israel go out of his land.


                                   Chapter 12


  1. And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt
     saying,

  2. This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it
     shall be the first month of the year to you.

  3. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the
     tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a
     lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an
     house:

  4. And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and
     his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the
     number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall
     make your count for the lamb.

  5. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first
     year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the
     goats:

  6. And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same
     month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel
     shall kill it in the evening.

  7. And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two
     side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein
     they shall eat it.

  8. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire,
     and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat
     it.

  9. Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast
     with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance
     thereof.

 10. And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and
     that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn
     with fire.

 11. And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes
     on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat
     it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.

 12. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and
     will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man
     and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute
     judgment: I am the LORD.

 13. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses
     where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over
     you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you,
     when I smite the land of Egypt.

 14. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall
     keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye
     shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

 15. Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day
     ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever
     eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh
     day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

 16. And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and
     in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to
     you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that
     which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.

 17. And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in
     this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land
     of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your
     generations by an ordinance for ever.

 18. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at
     even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and
     twentieth day of the month at even.

 19. Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses:
     for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul
     shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he
     be a stranger, or born in the land.

 20. Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall
     ye eat unleavened bread.

 21. Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said
     unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your
     families, and kill the passover.

 22. And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood
     that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side
     posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you
     shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.

 23. For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and
     when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side
     posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer
     the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

 24. And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and
     to thy sons for ever.

 25. And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which
     the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that
     ye shall keep this service.

 26. And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto
     you, What mean ye by this service?

 27. That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's
     passover, who passed over the houses of the children of
     Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered
     our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.

 28. And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD
     had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

 29. And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the
     firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of
     Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the
     captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of
     cattle.

 30. And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants,
     and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt;
     for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
