⁷ depart therefore and take your journey and go unto the hills of the Amorites and unto all places nigh thereunto, both fields, hills and dales: and unto the south and unto the sea's side in the land of Canaan, and unto Lebanon: even unto the great river Euphrates.

²⁵ and took of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down unto us and brought us word again, and said, 'It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.'

¹ When the LORD thy God hath brought thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee: the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perezites, the Hivites and the Jebusites; seven nations more in number and mightier than thou:

⁷ For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of rivers of water, of fountains and of springs that spring out both in valleys and hills: ⁸ a land of wheat and of barley, of vines, fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees with oil and of honey: ⁹ a land wherein thou shalt not eat bread in scarceness, and where thou shalt lack nothing, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou shalt dig brass.

⁹ and that ye may prolong your days in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey. ¹⁰ For the land whither thou goest to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt whence thou camest out, where thou sowedest thy seed and wateredest it with thy labour as a garden of herbs: ¹¹ but the land whither ye go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys and drinketh water of the rain of heaven, ¹² and a land which the LORD thy God careth for. The eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year unto the latter end of the year. ¹³ If thou shalt hearken therefore unto my commandments which I command you this day, that ye love the LORD your God and serve him with all your hearts and with all your souls; ¹⁴ then he will give rain unto your land in due season, both the first rain and the latter, and thou shalt gather in thy corn, thy wine and thine oil. ¹⁵ And he will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle: and thou shalt eat and fill thyself. ¹⁶ But beware that your hearts deceive you not, that ye turn aside and serve strange gods and worship them, ¹⁷ and then the wrath of the LORD wax hot upon you and shut up the heaven that there be no rain and that your land yield not her fruit, and that ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you. ¹⁸ Put up, therefore, these my words in your hearts and in your souls, and bind them for a sign unto your hands, and let them be as papers of remembrance between your eyes, ¹⁹ and teach them your children: so that thou talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up: ²⁰ yea, and write them upon the doorposts of thine house and upon thy gates, ²¹ that your days may be multiplied and the days of your children upon the earth which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as long as the days of heaven last upon the earth. ²² For if ye shall keep all these commandments which I command you, so that ye do them and love the LORD your God and walk in all his ways and cleave unto him; ²³ then will the LORD cast out all these nations; and ye shall conquer them which are both greater and mightier than yourselves. ²⁴ All the places whereon the soles of your feet shall tread, shall be yours: even from the wilderness and from Lebanon and from the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coasts be.

⁹ And he hath brought us into this place and hath given us this land that floweth with milk and honey. ¹⁰ And now, lo: I have brought the first fruits of the land which the LORD hath given me.' And set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God, ¹¹ and rejoice over all the good things which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee and unto thine house, both thou the Levite and the stranger that is among you. ¹² When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, the year of tithing — and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless and the widow, and they have eaten in thy gates and filled themselves ¹³ — then say before the LORD thy God, 'I have brought thee hallowed things out of mine house: and have given them unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless and the widow according to all the commandments which thou commandest me: I have not overskipped thy commandments, nor forgotten them. ¹⁴ I have not eaten thereof in my mourning nor taken away thereof unto any uncleanness, nor spent thereof about any dead corpse: but have hearkened unto the voice of the LORD my God, and have done after all that he commanded me. ¹⁵ Look down from thy holy habitation heaven and bless thy people Israel and the land which thou hast given us — as thou swearest unto our fathers — a land that floweth with milk and honey.'

³ and write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art come over: that thou mayest come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee: a land that floweth with milk and honey, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee.

¹¹ And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, in the fruit of thy cattle and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

¹ And when all the kings that dwell on this side Jordan, in the hills and valleys, and along by all the coasts of the great sea even unto Lebanon — the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perezites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites - heard,

⁸ and foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give unto his seed the land of the Cananites, Hittites, Amorites, Perezites, Jebusites, and Girgashites - and hast made good thy words: for thou art righteous,

²² And thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and partest them according to their portions, so that they possessed the land of Sihon king of Heshbon, and the land of Og the king of Bashan. ²³ And their children multipliedest thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land whereof thou hadst spoken unto their fathers, that they should go in to it, and have it in possession. ²⁴ And the children went in, and possessed the land, and thou subduedest before them the inhabiters of the land, even the Cananites, and gavest them into their hand, and their kings and the people of the land, that they might do with them what they would. ²⁵ And they won their strong cities, and a fat land, and took possession of houses that were full of all manner goods, wells digged out, vineyards, olive gardens, and many fruitful trees: and they ate and were filled, and became fat, and lived in wealth through thy great goodness.

⁵ "Now, for the comfortless troubles' sake of the needy, and because of the deep sighing of the poor, I will arise," saith the LORD, "and will help them, and set them at rest."

⁹ He bowed the heavens, also, and came down, and it was dark under his feet. {TYNDALE: And he bowed heaven and came down, and darkness underneath his feet.} ¹⁰ He rode upon the Cherub, and did fly: he came flying upon the wings of the wind. {TYNDALE: And he rode upon Cherub and flew: and appeared upon the wings of the wind.} ¹¹ He made darkness his secret place, his pavilion round about him; with dark waters and thick clouds to cover him. {TYNDALE: And he made darkness a tabernacle round about him, with water gathered together in thick clouds.} ¹² At the brightness of his presence, his clouds removed hailstones and coals of fire. {TYNDALE: Of the brightness that was before him, coals were set on fire.} ¹³ The LORD also thundered out of the heaven, and the highest gave his thunder, with hailstones and coals of fire. {TYNDALE: The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most high put out his voice.} ¹⁴ He sent out his arrows and scattered them, he cast forth lightnings, and destroyed them. {TYNDALE: And he shot arrows and scattered them, and hurled lightning and turmoiled them.} ¹⁵ The springs of waters were seen, and the foundations of the round world were discovered at thy chiding, O LORD, at the blasting of the breath of thy displeasures. {TYNDALE: And the bottom of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were seen, by the reason of the rebuking of the LORD, and through the blasting of the breath of his nostrils.} ¹⁶ He shall send down from on high to fetch me, and shall take me out of many waters. {TYNDALE: He sent from on high and fetched me, and plucked me out of mighty waters.} ¹⁷ He shall deliver me from my strongest enemy, and from them which hate me; for they are too mighty for me. {TYNDALE: He delivered me from my mighty enemy, and from them that hated me and were too strong for me.} ¹⁸ They prevented me in the day of my trouble, but the LORD was my upholder. {TYNDALE: When they had compassed me in the day of my tribulation, the LORD stayed me up.} ¹⁹ He brought me forth also into a place of liberty: he brought me forth, even because he had a favor unto me. {TYNDALE: And he brought me out into roomth, and delivered me, because he delighted in me.}

⁴ Our fathers hoped in thee; they trusted in thee, and thou didst deliver them. ⁵ They called upon thee, and were helped: they put their trust in thee, and were not confounded.

⁸ O taste and see how friendly the LORD is; blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

¹⁵ When he calleth upon me, I shall hear him: Yea I am with him in his trouble; whereout I will deliver him, and bring him to honour.

¹ O that thou wouldest cleave the heaven in sunder, and come down: that the mountains might melt away at thy presence,

⁷ And when I had brought you into a pleasant well builded land, that ye might enjoy the fruits and all the commodities of the same: ye went forth and defiled my land, and brought mine heritage to abomination.

⁵ and will keep my promise, that I have sworn unto your fathers: Namely, that I would give them a land which floweth with milk and honey, as ye see it is come to pass unto this day." Then answered I, and said, "Amen. It is even so, O LORD, as thou sayest."

²² and hast given them this land, like as thou hadst promised unto their fathers: Namely, that thou wouldest give them a land, that floweth with milk and honey.

⁶ even in the day that I lift up mine hand over them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt, into a land that I have provided for them, which floweth with milk and honey, and it is a pleasant land among all others:

¹³ And no man ascendeth up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, that is to say, the son of man which is in heaven.

³⁸ For I came down from heaven: not to do mine own will, but his will which hath sent me.

¹³ And the Egyptians held the children of Israel in bondage without mercy, ¹⁴ and made their lives bitter unto them with cruel labour in clay and brick, and all manner work in the fields, and in all manner of service, which they caused them to work cruelly.

²² Then Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, "All the men children that are born, cast into the river; and save the maid children alive."

²³ And it chanced, in process of time, that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel sighed by the reason of labour, and cried.

⁷ Then the LORD said, "I have surely seen the trouble of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry, which they have of their taskmasters. For I know their sorrow,

²² See that thou rob not the poor because he is weak, and oppress not the simple in judgment; ²³ for the LORD himself will defend their cause, and do violence unto them that have used violence.

¹ So I turned me, and considered all the violent wrong that is done under the Sun, and beheld the tears of such as were oppressed; and there was no man to comfort them or that would deliver and defend them from the violence of their oppressors.

⁸ If thou seest the poor to be oppressed and wrongfully dealt withal, so that equity and the right of the law is wrested in the land: marvel not thou at such judgment, for one great man keepeth touch with another, and the mighty help themselves together.

³³ "Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: The children of Israel and Judah suffer violence together. All they that have them in captivity, keep them fast and will not let them go. ³⁴ But their avenger and redeemer is mighty, whose name is the LORD of Hosts: he shall maintain their cause, he shall make the land shake, and judge them that dwell therein, one with another.

¹ O hear this word, ye fat cows, that be upon the hill of Samaria; yea, that do poor men wrong, and oppress the needy; yea, that say to your lords, 'Bring hither, let us drink.'

¹ Woe unto them that imagine to do harm, and devise ungraciousness upon their beds, to perform it in the clear day: for their power is against God. ² When they covet to have land, they take it by violence; they rob men of their houses. Thus they oppress a man for his house, and every man for his heritage. ³ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD: Behold, against this household have I devised a plague, whereout ye shall not pluck your necks. Ye shall no more go so proudly, for it will be a perilous time.

⁶ Then said Samuel unto the people, "It is the LORD that made Moses and Aaron, and which brought your fathers out of Egypt.

²⁰ Thou leddest thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

⁶ The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment, for all them that are oppressed with wrong. ⁷ He showed his ways unto Moses, and his works unto the children of Israel.

²⁶ Then sent he Moses his servant, and Aaron whom he had chosen.

¹¹ Yet remembered he the old time of Moses and his people: How he brought them from the water of the sea, as a shepherd doth with his sheep; how he had given his holy spirit among them; ¹² how he had led Moses by the righthand with his glorious arm; how he had divided the water before them, whereby he gat himself an everlasting name;

¹³ By a prophet the LORD brought them out of Egypt, and by a prophet he preserved them.

⁴ Because I brought thee from the land of Egypt, and delivered thee out of the house of bondage? Because I made Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to lead thee?

³⁶ And the same brought them out showing wonders and signs in Egypt, and in the reed sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

¹⁰ And Moses said unto the LORD, "O my Lord. I am not eloquent, no not in times past and namely since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow mouthed and slow tongued." ¹¹ And the LORD said unto him, "Who hath made man's mouth, or who hath made the dumb or the deaf, the seeing or the blind? Have not I, the LORD? ¹² Go therefore and I will be with thy mouth and teach thee what thou shalt say." ¹³ And he said, "O my Lord, send I pray thee whom thou wilt."

¹² And Moses spake before the LORD saying, "Behold, the children of Israel hearken not unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, seeing that I have uncircumcised lips?"

¹⁸ And David answered Saul, "What am I? And what is my life or the kindred of my father in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?"

¹⁸ then went King David and set him down before the LORD and said, "What am I, Lord Jehovah, and what is my kin, that thou shouldest have brought me this far forth?

⁷ And now LORD, my God, it is thou that hast made thy servant king instead of David my father. And I am a young lad and know not how to order myself.

⁹ Give therefore unto thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, and to discern between good, and bad. For who is able to judge this, thy so weighty a people?"

⁵ Then I said, "O woe is me! For I am lost: inasmuch as I am a man of unclean lips, and dwell among people that hath unclean lips also. For mine eyes have seen the King and LORD of Hosts." ⁶ Then flew one of the Seraphims unto me, having a hot coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with the tongs, ⁷ and touched my mouth, and said, "Lo, this hath touched thy mouth, and thine unrighteousness is taken away, and thy sin is forgiven." ⁸ After this I heard the voice of the LORD, taking advisement on this manner, "Whom shall I send, and who will be our messenger?" Then I said, "Here am I, send me."

⁶ Then said I, "Oh LORD God, I cannot speak, for I am yet but young."

²³ And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel. ²⁴ And when he saw one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged his quarrel that had the harm done to him, and smote the Egyptian. ²⁵ For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hands should save them: but they understood not.

¹⁶ to the one part are we the savor of death unto death; and unto the other part are we the savor of life unto life. And who is mete unto these things?

⁵ not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as it were of ourselves; but our ableness cometh of God;

¹ After these deeds, the word of God came unto Abram in a vision, saying, "Fear not Abram, I am thy shield; and thy reward shall be exceeding great."

⁸ And he said, "LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall possess it?"

³ And the LORD said unto Jacob, "Turn again into the land of thy fathers and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee."

¹ Moses answered and said, "See, they will not believe me nor hearken unto my voice: but will say, 'the LORD hath not appeared unto thee.'" ² Then the LORD said unto him, "What is that in thine hand?" And he said, "A rod." ³ And he said, "Cast it on the ground." And it turned unto a serpent. And Moses ran away from it. ⁴ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Put forth thine hand and take it by the tail." And he put forth his hand and caught it, and it became a rod again in his hand. ⁵ "That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob hath appeared unto thee." ⁶ And the LORD said furthermore unto him, "Thrust thine hand into thy bosom." And he thrust his hand into his bosom and took it out. And behold, his hand was leprous, even as snow. ⁷ And he said, "Put thine hand into thy bosom again." And he put his hand into his bosom again, and plucked it out of his bosom, and behold, it was turned again as his other flesh. ⁸ "If they will not believe thee, neither hear the voice of the first token: yet will they believe the voice of the second token. ⁹ But and if they will not believe the two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, then take of the water of the river and pour it upon the dry land. And the water which thou takest out of the river shall turn to blood upon the dry land."

¹² Go therefore and I will be with thy mouth and teach thee what thou shalt say."

¹⁵ And thou shalt speak unto him and put the words in his mouth, and I will be with thy mouth and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.

¹ The third month after the children of Israel were gone out of Egypt: the same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai. ² For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai and had pitched their tents in the wilderness. And there Israel pitched, before the mount. ³ And Moses went up unto God. And the LORD called to him out of the mountain saying, "Thus say unto the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel, ⁴ 'Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians and how I took you up upon Eagles' wings, and have brought you unto myself. ⁵ Now therefore if ye will hear my voice and keep mine covenant: ye shall be mine own above all nations, for all the earth is mine. ⁶ Ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests and a holy people.' These are the words which thou shalt say unto the children of Israel." ⁷ And Moses came and called for the elders of Israel, and laid before them all these words which the LORD had commanded him. ⁸ And the people answered all together and said, "All that the LORD hath said, we will do." And Moses brought the words of the people unto the LORD. ⁹ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Lo, I will come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I talk with thee, and also believe thee forever." And Moses showed the words of the people unto the LORD. ¹⁰ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Go unto the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes: ¹¹ that they may 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. ¹² And set marks round about the people and say, 'Beware that ye go not up into the mount, and that ye touch not the borders of it, for whosoever toucheth the mount, shall surely die. ¹³ There shall not a hand touch it, but that he shall either be stoned or else shot through: whether it be beast or man, it shall not live.' When the horn bloweth, then let them come up in to the mountain." ¹⁴ And Moses went down from the mount unto the people and sanctified them, and they washed their clothes. ¹⁵ And he said unto the people, "Be ready against the third day, and see that ye come not at your wives." ¹⁶ And the third day in the morning there was thunder, and lightning and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the horn waxed exceeding loud, and all the people that was in the host was afraid. ¹⁷ And Moses brought the people out of the tents to meet with God, and they stood under the hill. ¹⁸ And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke: because the LORD descended down upon it in fire. And the smoke thereof ascended up, as it had been the smoke of a kiln, and all the mount was exceeding fearful. ¹⁹ And the voice of the horn blew and waxed louder, and louder. Moses spake, and God answered him and that with a voice. ²⁰ And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, even in the top of the hill, and called Moses up into the top of the hill. And Moses went up. ²¹ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Go down and charge the people that they prease not up unto the LORD for to see him, and so many of them perish. ²² And let the priests also, which come to the LORD's presence, sanctify themselves: lest the LORD smite them." ²³ Then Moses said unto the LORD, "The people cannot come up in to mount Sinai, for thou chargedest us saying, 'Set marks about the hill and sanctify it.'" ²⁴ And the LORD said unto him, "Away, and get thee down: and come up both thou and Aaron with thee. But let not the priests and the people presume for to come up unto the LORD: lest he smite them." ²⁵ And Moses went down unto the people and told them.

¹ And the LORD called Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of witness, saying, ² "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, 'Whosoever of you shall bring a gift unto the LORD, shall bring it of the cattle: even of the oxen and of the sheep. ³ If he bring a burnt offering of the oxen he shall offer a male without blemish, and shall bring him to the door of the tabernacle of witness, that he may be accepted before the LORD. ⁴ And let him put his hand upon the head of the burnt sacrifice, and favour shall be given him to make an atonement for him, ⁵ and let him kill the ox before the LORD. And let the priests, Aaron's sons, bring the blood and let them sprinkle it round about upon the altar that is before the door of the tabernacle of witness. ⁶ And let the burnt offerings be stripped and hewed in pieces. ⁷ And then let the sons of Aaron the priest put fire upon the altar, and put wood upon the fire, ⁸ and let them lay the pieces with the head and the fat, upon the wood that is on the fire in the altar. ⁹ But the inwards and the legs they shall wash in water, and the priest shall burn altogether upon the altar, that it be a burnt sacrifice, and an offering of a sweet odour unto the LORD. ¹⁰ "'If he will offer a burnt sacrifice of the sheep whether it be of the lambs or of the goats: he shall offer a male without blemish. ¹¹ And let him kill it on the north side of the altar, before the LORD. And let the priests, Aaron's sons, sprinkle the blood of it, round about upon the altar. ¹² And let it be cut in pieces: even with his head and his fat, and let the priest put them upon the wood that lieth upon the fire in the altar. ¹³ But let him wash the inwards and the legs with water, and then bring altogether and burn it upon the altar: that is a burnt offering and a sacrifice of sweet savour unto the LORD. ¹⁴ "'If he will offer a burnt offering of the fowls unto the LORD, he shall offer either of the turtle doves or of the young pigeons. ¹⁵ And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring the neck asunder of it, and burn it on the altar, and let the blood run out upon the sides of the altar, ¹⁶ and pluck away his crop and his feathers, and cast them beside the altar on the east part upon the heap of ashes, ¹⁷ and break his wings, but pluck them not asunder. And then let the priest burn it upon the altar, even upon the wood that lieth upon the fire, a burnt sacrifice and an offering of a sweet savour unto the LORD.'"

¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of witness, the first day of the second month, and in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, ² "Take ye the sum of all the multitude of the children of Israel, in their kindreds and households of their fathers and number them by name all that are males, poll by poll, ³ from twenty years and above: even all that are able to go forth into war in Israel, thou and Aaron shall number them in their armies. ⁴ And with you shall be, of every tribe, a head man in the house of his father. ⁵ "And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: in Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur; ⁶ In Simeon, Shelumiel: the son of Zurishaddai; ⁷ In the tribe of Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab; ⁸ In Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar; ⁹ In Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon. ¹⁰ Among the children of Joseph: In Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; In Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur;

²³ And the Lord gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge and said, "Be bold and strong, for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them, and I will be with thee."

⁵ There shall not a man be able to withstand thee all the days of thy life. For as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee and will neither leave thee, nor forsake thee.

¹⁷ And he answered him, "If I have found grace in thy sight, then show me a sign, that thou art the LORD that talketh with me.

²¹ Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand and touched the flesh and the cakes. And there arose up fire out of the rock and consumed the flesh and the cakes. And the angel of the LORD vanished out of his sight.

³⁶ And Gideon said unto God, "If thou wilt save Israel by my hand as thou hast said: ³⁷ Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the threshing place. And if the dew be on the fleece only, and dry upon all the earth beside: then I shall be sure that thou wilt save Israel by my hand as thou saidest." ³⁸ And it came to pass. And he rose up early on the morrow, and he thrust the fleece together and wrung the dew thereout and filled a bowl of water. ³⁹ And Gideon said unto God, "Be not angry with me, that I speak once more; let me prove only once again with the fleece. Let it be dry only upon the fleece, and dew upon all the ground about." ⁴⁰ And God did so that same night: so that it was dry upon the fleece only, and on all the ground about, dew.

¹¹ and hearken what they say, and so shall thine hands be strong, and then thou shalt go down unto the host." Then he went down with Phurah his lad, even hard unto the men of arms that were in the host.

¹³ And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow and said, "Behold, I dreamed a dream and me thought that a broiled loaf of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along." ¹⁴ And his fellow answered and said, this is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel, into whose hand God hath delivered Midian and all the host."

¹⁷ Show some token upon me for good, that they which hate me may see it and be ashamed; because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.

¹⁴ Neverthelater, yet the Lord, he will give you a sign. Behold: a virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

³⁰ I will give thee also this token, O Hezekiah: this year shalt thou eat that is kept in store, and the next year such as groweth of himself, and in the third year ye shall sow and reap, yea ye shall plant vineyards, and enjoy the fruits thereof.

¹⁰ Be not afraid, for I will be with thee. Look not behind thee, for I will be thy God, to strengthen thee, help thee, and to keep thee with this righthand of mine.

⁹ "Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the brick wall, under the door of Pharaoh's house in Tahpenes, that all the men of Judah may see, ¹⁰ and say unto them, 'Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and call for Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon my servant, and will set his seat upon these stones that I have hid, and he shall spread his tent over them.

⁶³ And when thou hast read out the book, bind a stone to it, and cast it in the midst of Euphrates, ⁶⁴ and say, 'Even thus shall Babylon sink, and be thrust down with the burden of trouble that I will bring upon her: so that she shall never come up again.'" Thus far are the preachings of Jeremiah.

²⁰ teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I commanded you. And lo, I am with you always even until the end of the world."

²⁰ And they went forth, and preached everywhere. And the Lord wrought with them; And confirmed the word with miracles that followed.

²¹ And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned unto the Lord.

³¹ What shall we then say unto these things? if God be on our side: who can be against us?

⁵ Let your conversation be without covetousness, and be content with that ye have already. For he verily said, "I will not fail thee, neither forsake thee."

²⁹ And Jacob asked him, saying, "Tell me thy name." And he said, "Wherefore dost thou ask after my name?" And he blessed him there.

¹⁴ Then said God unto Moses, "I Will Be What I Will Be." And he said, "This shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, 'I Will Be did send me to you.'"

³ The LORD is a man of war, Jehovah is his name:

⁶ Then the wife went and told her husband, saying, "A man of God came unto me, and the fashion of him was like the fashion of an Angel of God, exceeding fearful. But I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name.

¹⁷ And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, "What is thy name, that when thy saying is come to pass, we may do thee some worship?"

⁴ Who hath climbed up into heaven? Who hath come down from thence? Who hath holden the wind fast in his hand? Who hath comprehended the waters in a garment? Who hath set all the ends of the world? What is his name, or his son's name? Canst thou tell?

⁶ For unto us a child is born, and unto us a son is given. Upon his shoulders shall the kingdom lie, and he shall be called with his own name, "Wonderful, the giver of counsel, the mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of peace."

⁶ In his time shall Judah be saved and Israel shall dwell without fear. And this is the name that they shall call him: even, 'The LORD our righteous maker.'

²¹ She shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus: For he shall save his people from their sins."

²³ "Behold, a maiden shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with us."

³ and I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob an Almighty God: but in my name Jehovah was I not known unto them.

⁷ "Wilt thou find out God with thy seeking? Wilt thou attain to the perfectness of the Almighty?

⁴ O sing unto God, sing praises to his name; magnify him that rideth upon the heavens, as it were upon a horse. Praise him in his name Jah, and rejoice before him.

² Before the mountains were brought forth, before the earth and the world were made, thou art God from everlasting and world without end.

⁶ Moreover, thus hath the LORD spoken; even the King of Israel, and his avenger, the LORD of Hosts: I am the first and the last, and without me is there no God.

²⁰ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

²⁸ Then said Jesus unto them, "When ye have lift up on high the son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; But as my father hath taught me, even so I speak.

⁵⁸ Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you: Yer Abraham was, I am."

²⁰ For all the promises of God, in him are "Yea": and are in him "Amen," unto the laud of God through us.

⁸ Jesus Christ yesterday, and today, and the same, continueth forever.

⁴ John, to the seven congregations in Asia. Grace be with you and peace, from him which is and which was, and which is to come: and from the seven spirits which are present before his throne,

⁸ "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending," saith the Lord almighty, which is and which was and which is to come.

⁸ And the four beasts had, each one of them, six wings about him, and they were full of eyes within. And they had no rest day neither night saying, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty, which was, and is, and is to come."

⁶ And he said, "I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

¹¹ — The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you as he hath promised you -

³⁵ 'There shall not one of these men of this froward generation see that good land which I sware to give unto your fathers,

¹ And now hearken, Israel, unto the ordinances and laws which I teach you, for to do them: that ye may live and go and conquer the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.

⁹ But there was a prophet of the LORD's named Obed which went out to the host which came to Samaria and said to them, "See, because the LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he delivered them into your hands. And ye have slain them with cruelness that reacheth up to heaven.

¹⁷ His name shall endure forever; his name shall remain under the sun among the posterities, which shall be blessed in him. And all the heathen shall praise him.

¹⁹ And blessed be the name of his majesty forever; and all the lands be fulfilled with his glory. Amen, Amen.

¹² But thou, O LORD, endurest forever, and thy remembrance throughout all generations.

¹³ Thy name, O LORD, endureth forever; so doth thy memorial, O LORD, from one generation to another.

¹ {A Praise of David} I will magnify thee, O God my king; I will praise thy name for ever and ever. ² Every day will I give thanks unto thee, and praise thy name for ever and ever.

¹² how he had led Moses by the righthand with his glorious arm; how he had divided the water before them, whereby he gat himself an everlasting name;

⁵ Yea, the LORD God of hosts, even the LORD himself remembered him:

⁵ Therefore, whereas all people have walked every man in the name of his own god, we will walk in the name of our God for ever and ever.

⁶ For I am the LORD that change not, and ye, O children of Jacob, will not leave off.

⁷ Then God made the firmament, and parted the waters which were under the firmament, from the waters that were above the firmament: And it was so.

¹ The LORD visited Sara as he had said, and did unto her according as he had spoken.

²⁵ And God looked upon the children of Israel and knew them.

² And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of a bush. And he perceived that the bush burned with fire, and consumed not.

²⁹ So went Moses and Aaron and gathered all the elders of the children of Israel.

¹⁹ And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he made the children of Israel swear, saying, "God will surely visit you, take my bones therefore away hence with you."

¹⁴ The nations heard, and were afraid. Pangs came upon the Philistines.

¹² And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, offered burnt offerings and sacrifices unto God. And Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God.

¹¹ and upon the nobles of the children of Israel he set not his hand. And when they had seen God they ate and drank.

⁶ Then she stood up with her daughters-in-law and returned from the country of Moab: for she had heard say, being in the country of Moab, how that the LORD hath visited his people and given them food.

⁴ What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And what is the son of man that thou visitest him?

³ Then assembled together the chief priests and the scribes and the elders of the people into the palace of the high priest, called Caiaphas:

⁶⁸ "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he hath visited and redeemed his people.

⁴⁴ And make thee even with the ground, with thy children which are in thee. And they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation."

³⁰ which thing they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

¹⁴ Simeon told how God at the beginning did visit the gentiles, and received of them people unto his name.

¹⁷ Wherefore from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the congregation.

⁶ but one in a certain place witnessed, saying, "What is man, that thou art mindful of him: other the son of man, that thou visitest him? ⁷ After thou hadst for a season made him lower than the angels: thou crownedst him with honour and glory, and hast set him above the works of thy hands.

¹² and see that ye have honest conversation among the gentiles, that they which backbite you as evil doers, may see your good works and praise God in the day of visitation.

¹ The elders which are among you I exhort, which am also an elder and a witness of the afflictions of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be opened:

¹³ And he said unto Abram, "Know this of a surety, that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that pertaineth not unto them. And they shall make bondmen of them and entreat them evil, four hundred years. ¹⁴ But the nation whom they shall serve, will I judge. And afterward shall they come out with great substance. ¹⁵ Nevertheless, thou shalt go unto thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried when thou art of a good age: ¹⁶ and in the fourth generation they shall come hither again, for the wickedness of the Amorites is not yet full." ¹⁷ When the sun was down and it was waxed dark, behold, there was a smoking furnace and a fire brand that went between the said pieces.

⁴ I will go down with thee into Egypt, and I will also bring thee up again, and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes."

⁸ and am come down to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land unto a good land and a large, and unto a land that floweth with milk and honey: even unto the place of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and of the Jebusites. ⁹ Now therefore behold, the complaint of the children of Israel is come unto me and I have also seen the oppression, wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

¹¹ And when ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho, the citizens of Jericho fought against you: the Amorites, Perezites, Cananites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites, Jebusites which I delivered into your hands.

¹ When Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to him saying, "I am the almighty God: walk before me and be uncorrupt.

³ and said unto Joseph, "God almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

¹² And he said, "I will be with thee. And this shall be a token unto thee that I have sent thee: after that thou hast brought the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain."

²⁴ And it chanced by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him and would have killed him.

¹⁶ And 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: but hitherto thou wouldest not hear.

²⁵ Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, "Go and do sacrifice unto your God in the land." ²⁶ And Moses answered, "It is not mete so to do. For we must offer unto the LORD our God, that which is an abomination unto the Egyptians: behold shall we sacrifice that which is an abomination unto the Egyptians before their eyes, and shall they not stone us? ²⁷ We will therefore go three days' journey into the desert and sacrifice unto the LORD our God as he hath commanded us." ²⁸ And Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice unto the LORD your God in the wilderness: only go not far away, and see that ye pray for me."

¹ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Go unto Pharaoh and tell him, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God of the Hebrews: send out my people that they may serve me.

¹³ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh and tell him, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me,

³ Then Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, "Thus sayeth the LORD God of the Hebrews, 'How long shall it be, or thou wilt submit thyself unto me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.

²⁴ Then Pharaoh called for Moses and said, "Go and serve the LORD; only let your sheep, and your oxen abide, but let your children go with you." ²⁵ And Moses answered, "Thou must give us also offerings and burnt offerings for to sacrifice unto the LORD our God. ²⁶ Our cattle therefore shall go with us, and there shall not one hoof be left behind, for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God. Moreover, we cannot know wherewith we shall serve the LORD, until we come thither."

¹⁷ When Pharaoh had let the people go, God carried them not through the land of the Philistines, though it were a nigh way. For God said, "The people might haply repent when they see war, and so turn again to Egypt." ¹⁸ Therefore God led them about through the wilderness that bordereth on the reed sea. The children of Israel went harnessed out of the land of Egypt.

¹ The third month after the children of Israel were gone out of Egypt: the same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.

²² "There I will meet thee and will commune with thee from upon the mercy seat from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of witness, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

⁴² And it shall be a continual burnt offering among your children after you, in the door of the tabernacle of witness before the LORD, where I will meet you to speak unto you there. ⁴³ There I will meet with the children of Israel, and will be sanctified in mine honour.

⁶ And thou shalt put it before the veil that hangeth before the ark of witness, and before the mercy seat that is before the witness, where I will meet thee.

³⁶ And beat it to powder and put it before the witness in the tabernacle of witness, where I will meet thee, but let it be unto you holy.

⁴ And put them in the tabernacle of witness where I will meet you.

³ And Balaam said unto Balak, "Stand by the sacrifice, while I go to know whether the LORD will come and meet me; and whatsoever he showeth me, I will tell thee." And he went forthwith. ⁴ And God came unto Balaam, and Balaam said unto him, "I have prepared seven altars, and have offered upon every altar, an ox and a ram."

¹⁵ And he said unto Balak, "Stand here, by thy sacrifice, while I go yonder." ¹⁶ And the LORD met Balaam and put words in his mouth, and said, "Go again unto Balak and thus say."

¹⁷ According as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey thee; only the LORD thy God be with thee as he was with Moses.

¹² And thereto the hand of God was in Judah, to make them of one accord to do the commandment of the king and the captains, which was according to the word of the LORD.

³ In the day of thy power shall thy people offer thee free-will offerings with a holy worship; the dew of thy birth is of the womb of the morning.

⁵ Thou helpest him that doth right with cheerfulness, and them that think upon thy ways. But lo, thou art angry: for we offend, and have been ever in sin, and there is not one whole.

² "Go thy way, cry in the ears of Jerusalem, and say, 'Thus sayeth the LORD: I remember thee for the kindness of thy youth, and because of thy steadfast love: in that thou followedst me through the wilderness, in an untilled land.

⁶ They thought not in their hearts, 'Where have we left the LORD, that brought us out of the land of Egypt? That led us through the wilderness; through a desert and rough land; through a dry and deadly land; yea a land that no man had gone through, and wherein no man had dwelt?'

⁵ and to hear the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, rising up timely, and still sending: If ye will not follow them, I say,

² And Pharaoh answered, "What fellow is the LORD, that I should hear his voice for to let Israel go?

¹ Then the LORD said unto Moses, "Now shalt thou see what I will do unto Pharaoh, for with a mighty hand shall he let them go, and with a mighty hand shall he drive them out of his land."

¹ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Behold, I have made thee Pharaoh's God, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. ² Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land. ³ But I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that I may multiply my miracles and my wonders in the land of Egypt. ⁴ And yet Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may set mine hand upon Egypt and bring out mine armies, even my people the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, with great judgments. ⁵ And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I have stretched forth my hand upon Egypt, and have brought out the children of Israel from among them." ⁶ Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them. ⁷ And Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty three when they spake unto Pharaoh. ⁸ And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, ⁹ "When Pharaoh speaketh unto you and sayeth, 'Show a wonder,' then shalt thou say unto Aaron, 'Take the rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall turn to a serpent.'" ¹⁰ Then went Moses and Aaron in unto Pharaoh, and did even as the LORD had commanded. And Aaron cast forth his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it turned to a serpent. ¹¹ Then Pharaoh called for the wise men, and enchanters of Egypt did in like manner with their sorcery. ¹² And they cast down every man his rod, and they turned to serpents; but Aaron's rod ate up their rods. ¹³ And yet, for all that, Pharaoh's heart was hardened, so that he hearkened not unto them, even as the LORD had said. ¹⁴ Then said the LORD unto Moses, "Pharaoh's heart is hardened, and he refuseth to let the people go.

¹¹ And brought out Israel from among them! For his mercy endureth forever. ¹² With a mighty hand and stretched-out arm! For his mercy endureth forever.

¹² how he had led Moses by the righthand with his glorious arm; how he had divided the water before them, whereby he gat himself an everlasting name; ¹³ how he led them in the deep, as a horse is led in the plain, that they should not stumble.

⁶ Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, 'I am the LORD, and will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and will rid you out of their bondage, and will deliver you with a stretched-out arm and with great judgments.

³ But I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that I may multiply my miracles and my wonders in the land of Egypt. ⁴ And yet Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may set mine hand upon Egypt and bring out mine armies, even my people the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, with great judgments. ⁵ And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I have stretched forth my hand upon Egypt, and have brought out the children of Israel from among them."

¹⁵ For now I will stretch out my hand and will smite thee and thy people with pestilence: so that thou shalt perish from the earth.

¹ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt, and after that he will let you go hence. And when he letteth you go, he shall utterly drive you hence.

⁸ And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and fall before me and say, 'Get thee out and all the people that are under thee!' And then will I depart." And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger. ⁹ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Pharaoh shall not regard you, that many wonders may be wrought in the land of Egypt."

³¹ And he called unto Moses and Aaron by night, saying, "Rise up, and get you out from among my people: both ye and also the children of Israel, and go and serve the LORD as ye have said. ³² And take your sheep and your oxen with you as ye have said, and depart and bless me also." ³³ And the Egyptians were fierce upon the people and made haste to send them out of the land: for they said, "We be all dead men."

³⁹ And they baked sweet cakes of the dough which they brought out of Egypt, for it was not soured: because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not tarry, neither had they prepared them any other provision of meat.

³⁴ Either, whether God assayed to go and take him a people from among nations, through temptations and signs and wonders and through war and with a mighty hand and a stretched-out arm and with mighty terrible sights, according unto all that the LORD your God did unto you in Egypt before your eyes.

²² And the LORD showed signs and wonders both great and evil upon Egypt, Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes;

⁸ the LORD sent a prophet unto them, and said unto them, "Thus sayeth the LORD God of Israel: I fetched you from Egypt and brought you out of the house of bondage

¹⁶ And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and all to tear them therewith.

¹⁰ and showed tokens and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they were presumptuous and cruel against them; and so madest thou thee a name as it is this day.

²⁷ These did his tokens among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

³⁸ Egypt was glad at their departing: for they were afraid of them.

²² wondrous works in the land of Ham, and fearful things in the reed sea.

⁸ He smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and of beast. ⁹ He hath sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O thou land of Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants.

²² Thus the LORD shall smite Egypt, and heal it again: and so shall they turn to the LORD, and he also shall have mercy upon them, and save them.

¹¹ LORD, when thine hand is lift up to strike, they see it not: but they shall see it, and be confounded, when thou shalt devour them with the wrath of the people, and with the fire of thine enemies.

²⁰ Thou hast done great tokens and wonders in the land of Egypt, as we see this day upon the people of Israel and upon those men: to make thy name great as it is come to pass this day. ²¹ Thou hast brought thy people of Israel out of the land of Egypt, with tokens, with wonders, with a mighty hand, with a stretched out arm and with great terribleness;

³³ "'As truly as I live, sayeth the LORD God, I myself will rule you with a mighty hand, with a stretched out arm, and with indignation poured out over you;

¹ Then said the chief priest, "Is it even so?" ² And he said, "Ye men, brethren, and fathers, hearken to. The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham while he was yet in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, ³ and said unto him, 'Come out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show unto thee.' ⁴ Then came he out of the land of Chaldea and dwelt in Haran. And after that, as soon as his father was dead, he brought him into this land, in which ye now dwell, ⁵ and he gave him none inheritance in it — no, not the breadth of a foot — But promised that he would give it to him to possess and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. ⁶ God verily spake on this wise, that this seed should be a dweller in a strange land, and that they should keep them in bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years. ⁷ 'But the nation to whom they shall be in bondage, will I judge,' said God, 'and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.' ⁸ And he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and he begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs. ⁹ And the patriarchs, having indignation, sold Joseph into Egypt, and God was with him, ¹⁰ and delivered him out of all his adversities, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; which made him governor over Egypt, and over all his household. ¹¹ Then came there a dearth over all the land of Egypt, and Canaan, and great affliction, that our fathers found no sustenance. ¹² But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent our fathers first, ¹³ and at the second time, Joseph was known of his brethren, and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.

²¹ but the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and got him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison;

³ And the LORD gat the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, Moses was very great in the land of Egypt: both in the sight of Pharaoh, and also in the sight of the people.

³⁶ And the LORD gat the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and so they borrowed, and robbed the Egyptians.

¹¹ O LORD, let thine ears mark the prayer of thy servant, and the prayer of thy servants, whose desire is to fear thy name; and let thy servant prosper this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's butler."

³⁷ He brought them forth also with silver and gold; there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

⁴⁶ yea, he made all those that had led them away captive, to pity them.

⁷ When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh his very enemies to be his friends.

¹⁰ and delivered him out of all his adversities, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; which made him governor over Egypt, and over all his household.

² But bid the people that every man borrow of his neighbor and every woman of her neighboress: jewels of silver and jewels of gold."

³⁵ And the children of Israel did according to the saying of Moses: and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment. ³⁶ And the LORD gat the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and so they borrowed, and robbed the Egyptians.

¹⁶ Though he have as much money as the dust of the earth, and raiment as ready as the clay, ¹⁷ he may well prepare it: but the godly shall put it upon him, and the innocent shall deal out the money.

²² which their children's children shall have in possession - for the riches of the sinner is laid up for the just.

¹ Wherefore woe be unto thee, O robber: shalt not thou be robbed also? And unto thee that layest wait: as who say there should no wait be laid for thee? Woe unto thee which doest hurt: even so shalt thou be hurt also. And as thou layest wait, so shall wait be laid for thee also.

¹⁰ seven years shall they be burning thereof, so that they shall else bring no sticks from the field, neither have need to hew down any out of the wood: For they shall have weapons now to burn. They shall rob those that robbed them, and spoil those that spoiled them, sayeth the LORD God.
