²⁸ Pray then for me to the Lord, and let Him cause the thundering of God to cease, and the hail and the fire, and I will send you forth and you shall remain no longer.

²⁵ And now remove my sin, I pray, and turn back with me, and I will worship the Lord your God.

⁶ And King Jeroboam said to the man of God, Intreat the Lord your God, and let my hand be restored to me. And the man of God intreated the Lord, and He restored the king's hand to him, and it became as before.

⁴⁰ And he poured it out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, when they were eating of the stew, that behold, they cried out, and said, There is death in the pot, O man of God! And they could not eat.

¹⁶ Lord, in affliction I remembered You; Your chastening was to us with small affliction.

²⁴ Then Simon answered and said, "Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me."

³⁰ Now I beg you, brothers, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in prayers to God on my behalf,

¹⁰ who delivered us from so great a death, and is delivering us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us,

⁹ And Moses said to Pharaoh, Appoint me a time when I shall pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to cause the frogs to disappear from you, and from your people, and from your houses; only in the river shall they be left behind.

²⁸ And Pharaoh said, I will let you go and sacrifice to your God in the wilderness, but do not go very far away — pray then to the Lord for me. ²⁹ And Moses said, I then will go forth from you and pray to God, and the dog-fly shall depart both from your servants, and from your people tomorrow. However do not deceive again, Pharaoh, so as not to send the people away to do sacrifice to the Lord. ³⁰ And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to God.

⁴⁴ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

²⁸ bless those who curse you; pray for those who mistreat you.

¹⁸ And God led the people round by the way to the wilderness, to the Red Sea. And in the fifth generation the children of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt.

⁴ He has cast the chariots of Pharaoh and his army into the sea, the chosen mounted captains: they were swallowed up in the Red Sea.

²⁰ And I will chase away from you the northern adversary, and will drive him away into a dry land, and I will sink his face in the former sea, and his back parts in the latter sea, and his stench shall come up, and his foul odor will rise, because he has worked great things.

²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.

¹² And the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he hearkened not to them, as the Lord appointed.

¹⁰ And Moses and Aaron did all these signs and wonders in the land of Egypt before Pharaoh; and the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not hearken to send forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

³⁰ And Sihon king of Heshbon would not allow us to pass by him, because the Lord our God hardened his spirit, and made his heart stubborn, that he might be delivered into your hands, as it is this day.

⁹ You shall hear indeed, but you shall not understand; and you shall see indeed, but you shall not perceive. ¹⁰ For the heart of this people has become dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

³⁹ Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: ⁴⁰ "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they should see with their eyes, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them."

¹⁸ So then He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.

¹¹ And because of this, God will send them strong delusion, in order for them to believe the lie, ¹² so that they all might be damned who did not believe the truth, but delighted in unrighteousness.

²² And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand toward heaven, and there shall be hail on all the land of Egypt, both on the men and on the cattle, and on all the herbs on the land.

²⁹ And you shall grope at midday, as a blind man gropes in the darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways; and then you shall be unjustly treated, and plundered continually, and there shall be no helper.

⁶ Let their way be dark and slippery, and an angel of the Lord persecuting them.

⁴⁹ He sent out against them the fury of His anger, wrath, and indignation, and affliction, a message by evil angels.

²⁸ He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; yet they rebelled against His words.

¹⁹ But the ways of the ungodly are like darkness; they know not how they stumble.

¹⁴ The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walks in darkness. And I perceived, even I, that one event shall happen to them all.

⁴ For he came in vanity, and departs in darkness, and his name shall be covered in darkness.

²¹ And famine shall come sorely upon you, and it shall come to pass, that when you shall be hungry, you shall be grieved, and you shall speak evil of the prince and of your fathers' ordinances; and they shall look up to heaven above, ²² and they shall look on the earth below, and behold severe distress, and darkness, affliction, and anguish, and darkness so that no one can see; and he that is in anguish shall not be distressed only for a season.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour, darkness came upon all the land.

³³ Now when the sixth hour had come, darkness came upon the whole land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁴ Now it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came upon the whole land until the ninth hour.

⁴ For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but rather confined them to Tartarus, and delivered them into chains of darkness, reserved for judgment;

¹⁷ These are waterless wells, clouds being driven by a storm, for whom the darkness of the netherworld has been reserved forever.

⁶ And the angels who did not keep their own domain, but rather having left their own habitation, He has kept with everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;

¹³ raging waves on the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars for whom the darkness of the netherworld has been reserved forever.

¹⁰ Then the fifth one poured out his bowl on the throne of the Beast, and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues from the pain. ¹¹ They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their ulcers, and they did not repent of their works.

²¹ And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the darkness where God was.

¹¹ And you drew near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire up to heaven: there was darkness, blackness, and a tempest.

²² These words the Lord spoke to all the assembly of you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire — there was darkness, blackness, a storm, and a loud voice — and He added no more, and He wrote them on two tablets of stone, and He gave them to me.

³¹ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.

¹³ For behold, I am He that strengthens the thunder, and creates the wind, and proclaims His Messiah unto men, forming the morning and the darkness, and mounting on the high places of the earth; The Lord God Almighty is His name.

¹⁰ Then the fifth one poured out his bowl on the throne of the Beast, and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues from the pain.

²² And I will distinguish marvelously in that day the land of Goshen, on which My people dwell, in which the dog-fly shall not be, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of all the earth.

⁴ And I will make a marvelous distinction in that time between the livestock of the Egyptians and the livestock of the children of Israel: nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.

²⁶ Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there not hail.

²⁰ And it went between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and stood; and there was darkness and blackness; and the night passed, and they came not near to one another during the whole night.

⁷ And we cried aloud to the Lord, and He put a cloud and darkness between us an the Egyptians, and He brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen all that the Lord did in the land of Egypt; and you were in the wilderness many days.

¹⁶ And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, and I will cause them to tread paths which they have not known; I will turn darkness into light for them, and crooked things into straight. These things will I do, and will not forsake them.

¹ Be enlightened, be enlightened, O Jerusalem, for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you! ² Behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and there shall be deep darkness on the nations; but the Lord shall appear upon you, and His glory shall be seen upon you. ³ And kings shall walk in your light, and nations in your brightness.

¹³ Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, My servants shall eat, but you shall hunger; behold, My servants shall drink, but you shall thirst; behold, My servants shall rejoice, but you shall be ashamed; ¹⁴ behold, My servants shall exalt with joy, but you shall cry for the sorrow of your heart, and shall howl for the vexation of your spirit.

¹⁸ Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, and between him that serves God, and him that serves Him not.

¹³ He has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

⁹ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellent virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

²³ And shall not their cattle and their herds, and their possessions, be ours? Only in this let us conform to them, and they will dwell with us.

²⁸ And Pharaoh said, I will let you go and sacrifice to your God in the wilderness, but do not go very far away — pray then to the Lord for me.

⁸ And they brought back both Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh; and he said to them, Go and serve the Lord your God; but who are they that are going with you? ⁹ And Moses said, We will go with the young and the old, with our sons and daughters, and our sheep and oxen; for it is a feast to the Lord. ¹⁰ And he said to them, So let the Lord be with you. As I will send you away, must I send away your little ones also? Beware, for evil is before you.

¹ And these are the things which you shall do to them: you shall sanctify them, so that they shall serve Me in the priesthood; and you shall take one young calf from the herd, and two unblemished rams; ² and unleavened loaves kneaded with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil: you shall make them of fine wheat flour. ³ And you shall put them on one basket, and you shall offer them on the basket, and the young calf and the two rams. ⁴ And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle of testimony, and you shall wash them with water. ⁵ And having taken the garments, you shall put on Aaron your brother the full-length robe, the ephod, and the oracle; and you shall join for him the oracle to the ephod. ⁶ And you shall put the turban on his head; and you shall put the plate, even the holy crown, on the turban. ⁷ And you shall take of the anointing oil, and you shall pour it on his head, and shall anoint him, ⁸ and you shall bring his sons, and put garments on them. ⁹ And you shall gird them with sashes, and put the hats upon them, and they shall have a priestly office unto Me forever; and you shall fill the hands of Aaron and the hands of his sons. ¹⁰ And you shall bring the calf to the door of the tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the calf, before the Lord, by the doors of the tabernacle of witness. ¹¹ And you shall slay the calf before the Lord, by the doors of the tabernacle of witness. ¹² And you shall take of the blood of the calf, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, but all the rest of the blood you shall pour out at the foot of the altar. ¹³ And you shall take all the fat that is on the belly, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and shall put them upon the altar. ¹⁴ But the flesh of the calf, and his skin, and his dung, you shall burn with fire outside the camp; for it is a sin offering. ¹⁵ And you shall take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram. ¹⁶ And you shall kill it, and take the blood and pour it on the altar round about. ¹⁷ And you shall divide the ram by his several limbs, and you shall wash the inward parts and the feet with water, and you shall put them on the divided parts with the head. ¹⁸ And you shall offer the whole ram on the altar, a whole burnt offering to the Lord for a sweet-smelling aroma: it is an offering of incense to the Lord. ¹⁹ And you shall take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram. ²⁰ And you shall kill it, and take its blood, and put it on the tip of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, and on the tips of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. ²¹ And you shall take of the blood from the altar, and of the anointing oil; and you shall sprinkle it upon Aaron and on his garments, and on his sons and on his sons' garments with him; and he and his garments shall be sanctified, and his sons and his sons' garments with him. But the blood of the ram you shall pour round about upon the altar. ²² And you shall take from the ram its fat, both the fat that covers the belly, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder, for this is a consecration. ²³ And one cake made with oil, and one cake from the basket of unleavened bread set forth before the Lord. ²⁴ And you shall put them all on the hands of Aaron, and on the hands of his sons, and you shall separate them as a separate offering before the Lord. ²⁵ And you shall take them from their hands, and shall offer them up on the altar as a whole burnt offering, for a sweet-smelling aroma before the Lord: it is an offering to the Lord. ²⁶ And you shall take the breast from the ram of consecration which is Aaron's, and you shall separate it as a separate offering before the Lord, and it shall be to you for a portion. ²⁷ And you shall sanctify the separated breast and the shoulder of removal which has been separated, and which has been removed from the ram of consecration, of the portion of Aaron and of his sons. ²⁸ And it shall be a perpetual statute of the children of Israel to Aaron and his sons, for this is a separate offering; and it shall be a special offering from the children of Israel, from the peace offerings of the children of Israel, a special offering to the Lord. ²⁹ And the garments of the sanctuary which is Aaron's shall be his son's after him, for them to be anointed in them, and to fill their hands. ³⁰ The priest (his successor from among his sons who shall go into the tabernacle of witness to minister in the holy place), shall put them on for seven days. ³¹ And you shall take the ram of consecration, and you shall boil the flesh in the holy place. ³² And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the loaves in the basket, by the doors of the tabernacle of witness. ³³ They shall eat the offerings with which they were sanctified to fill their hands, to sanctify them; and a stranger shall not eat of them, for they are holy. ³⁴ And if any is left of the flesh of the sacrifice of consecration and of the loaves until the morning, you shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, for it is a holy thing. ³⁵ And thus shall you do for Aaron and for his sons according to all things that I have commanded you; seven days shall you fill their hands. ³⁶ And you shall sacrifice the calf of the sin offering on the day of purification, and you shall purify the altar when you perform consecration upon it, and you shall anoint it so as to sanctify it. ³⁷ Seven days shall you purify the altar and sanctify it; and the altar shall be most holy, everyone that touches the altar shall be hallowed. ³⁸ And these are the offerings which you shall offer upon the altar; two unblemished lambs of a year old daily on the altar continually, a constant offering. ³⁹ One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the second lamb you shall offer in the evening. ⁴⁰ And a tenth measure of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of pressed oil, and a drink offering the fourth part of a hin of wine for one lamb. ⁴¹ And you shall offer the second lamb in the evening, after the manner of the morning offering, and according to the drink offering of the morning lamb; you shall offer it to the Lord for a sweet-smelling aroma, ⁴² a perpetual sacrifice throughout your generations, at the door of the tabernacle of witness before the Lord; wherein I will be known to you from there, so as to speak to you. ⁴³ And from there I will give orders to the children of Israel, and I will be sanctified in My glory. ⁴⁴ And I will sanctify the tabernacle of testimony and the altar, and I will sanctify Aaron and his sons, to minister as priests to Me. ⁴⁵ And I will be called upon among the children of Israel, and will be their God. ⁴⁶ And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, to be called upon by them, and to be their God.

¹ And Bezalel performed his work, and Eliab and everyone wise in understanding, to whom was given wisdom and knowledge, to understand how to do all the works according to the holy offices, according to all things which the Lord commanded. ² And Moses called Bezalel and Eliab, and all that had wisdom, to whom God gave knowledge in their heart, and all who were freely willing to come forward to the works, to perform them. ³ And they received from Moses all the offerings, which the children of Israel brought for all the works of the sanctuary, to do them; and they continued to receive the gifts brought, from those who brought them in the morning. ⁴ And there came all the wise men who wrought the works of the sanctuary, each according to his own work, which they performed. ⁵ And one said to Moses, The people bring an abundance too great in proportion to all the works which the Lord has appointed them to do. ⁶ And Moses commanded, and proclaimed in the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman any longer labor for the offerings of the sanctuary; and the people were restrained from bringing any more. ⁷ And they had materials sufficient for making the furniture, and they left some besides. ⁸ And every wise one among those that wrought made the robes of the holy places, which belong to Aaron the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses. ⁹ And he made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined. ¹⁰ And the plates were divided, the threads of gold, so as to interweave with the blue and purple, and with the spun scarlet, and the fine linen twined, they made it a woven work; ¹¹ shoulder pieces joined from both sides, a work woven by mutual twisting of the parts into one another. ¹² They made it of the same material according to the making of it, of gold, blue, purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, as the Lord commanded Moses. ¹³ And they made the two emerald stones clasped together and set in gold, graven and cut after the cutting of a seal with the names of the children of Israel; ¹⁴ and he put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord commanded Moses. ¹⁵ And they made the oracle, a work woven with embroidery, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, blue, purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined. ¹⁶ They made the oracle square and double, the length of a span, and the breadth of a span, double. ¹⁷ And there was interwoven with it a woven work of four rows of stones, a series of stones, the first row, a sardius and topaz and emerald; ¹⁸ and the second row a carbuncle and sapphire and jasper; ¹⁹ and the third row, a ligure and agate and amethyst; ²⁰ and the fourth row a chrysolite and beryl and onyx, set round about with gold, and fastened with gold. ²¹ And the stones were twelve according to the names of the children of Israel, graven according to their names like seals, each according to his own name for the twelve tribes. ²² And they made on the oracle turned wreaths, wreathen work, of pure gold, ²³ and they made two golden circlets and two golden rings. ²⁴ And they put the two golden rings on both the upper corners of the oracle; ²⁵ and they put the golden wreaths on the rings on both sides of the oracle, and the two wreaths into the two couplings. ²⁶ And they put them on the two circlets, and they put them on the shoulders of the ephod opposite each other in front. ²⁷ And they made two golden rings, and put them on the two projections on the top of the oracle, and on the top of the hinder part of the ephod within. ²⁸ And they made two golden rings, and put them on both the shoulders of the ephod under it, in front by the coupling above the connection of the ephod. ²⁹ And he fastened the oracle by the rings that were on it to the rings of the ephod, which were fastened with a string of blue, joined together with the woven work of the ephod; that the oracle should not be loosed from the ephod, as the Lord commanded Moses. ³⁰ And they made the tunic under the ephod, woven work, all of blue. ³¹ And the opening of the tunic in the midst woven closely together, the opening having a fringe round about, that it might not be torn. ³² And they made on the border of the tunic below pomegranates as of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, purple, spun scarlet, and fine linen twined. ³³ And they made golden bells, and put the bells on the border of the tunic round about between the pomegranates: ³⁴ a golden bell and a pomegranate on the border of the tunic round about, for the ministration, as the Lord commanded Moses. ³⁵ And they made vestments of fine linen, a woven work, for Aaron and his sons, ³⁶ and the tires of fine linen, and the turban of fine linen, and the drawers of fine linen twined; ³⁷ and their sashes of fine linen, blue, purple, and scarlet spun, the work of an embroiderer, according as the Lord commanded Moses. ³⁸ And they made the golden plate, a dedicated thing of the sanctuary, of pure gold; ^(2:39) and he wrote upon it graven letters as of a seal, Holiness to the Lord. ^(2:40) And they put it on the border of blue, so that it should be on the turban above, as the Lord commanded Moses.

²² And Aaron lifted up his hands on the people and blessed them; and after he had offered the sin-offering, and the whole burnt offerings, and the peace-offerings, he came down.

⁹ And Aaron shall bring forward the goat on which the lot for the Lord fell, and shall offer him for a sin-offering.

³² And take with you your sheep, and your oxen: bless me also, I pray you.

¹⁸ And her trade and her gain shall be holiness to the Lord; it shall not be gathered for them, but for those that dwell before the Lord, even all her trade, to eat and drink and be filled, and for a covenant and a memorial before the Lord.

⁵ Then shall you see, and fear, and be amazed in your heart; for the wealth of the sea shall come round to you, and of nations and peoples; and herds of camels shall come to you, ⁶ and the camels of Midian and Ephah shall cover you; all from Saba shall come bearing gold, and shall bring frankincense, and they shall proclaim the salvation of the Lord. ⁷ And all the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered, and the rams of Nebaioth shall come; and acceptable sacrifices shall be offered on My altar, and My house of prayer shall be glorified. ⁸ Who are these that fly as clouds, and as doves with young ones to Me? ⁹ The isles have waited for Me, and the ships of Tarshish among the first, to bring your children from afar, and their silver and their gold with them, and that for the sake of the holy name of the Lord, and because the Holy One of Israel is glorified. ¹⁰ And strangers shall build your walls, and their kings shall wait upon you; for by reason of My wrath I have struck you, and by reason of mercy I have loved you.

⁶ They shall go with sheep and calves diligently to seek the Lord; but they shall not find Him, for He has withdrawn Himself from them.

²⁰ In that day there shall be engraved upon the bridle of every horse, Holiness to the Lord Almighty. And the caldrons in the house of the Lord shall be as bowls before the altar.

⁴⁴ Now all who believed were together, and they had all things in common, ⁴⁵ and they were selling their possessions and goods, and were dividing them among all, to the degree that anyone had a need.

⁵ and not as we hoped, but they first gave their own selves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God,

⁸ By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go forth to the place which he was about to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go in to Pharaoh; for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that these signs may come upon them; in order

²⁰ And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not send away the children of Israel.

⁴ And I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, and he shall pursue after them; and I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his army, and all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. And they did so.

⁸ And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and of his servants, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went forth with a high hand.

²⁰ But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent from the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and of wood, which neither are able to see nor to hear nor to walk.

¹⁰ And Asa was angry with the prophet, and put him in prison, for he was angry at this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at that time.

¹⁶ And it came to pass when the prophet was speaking to him, that he said to him, Have I made you the king's counselor? Take heed lest you be scourged! And the prophet became silent, and said, I know that God is disposed against you to destroy you, because you have done this thing, and have not hearkened to my counsel.

¹³ but you shall no longer prophesy at Bethel — for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the royal house.

⁴ And Moses said, Thus says the Lord: About midnight I will go forth into the midst of Egypt. ⁵ And every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sits on the throne, even to the firstborn of the female servant that is by the mill, and to the firstborn of all cattle. ⁶ And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as never before, the likes of which shall not be repeated again. ⁷ But among all the children of Israel shall not a dog snarl with his tongue, either at man or beast; that you may know how wide a distinction the Lord will make between the Egyptians and Israel. ⁸ And all these your servants shall come down to me, and reverence me, saying, Go forth, you and all the people over whom you presided, and afterwards I will go forth.
