Exodus Chapter 1
(1) Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which
came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
(2) Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
(3) Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
(4) Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
(5) And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob
were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already. (
6) And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that
generation.
(7) And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased
abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled
with them.
(8) Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not
Joseph.
(9) And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the
children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
(10) Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they
multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join
also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the
land.
(11) Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict
them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and
Raamses.
(12) But the more they afflicted them, the more they
multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
(13) And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve
with rigour:
(14) And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in
morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their
service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour. (15) And the king of
Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah,
and the name of the other Puah:
(16) And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the
Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill
him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. (17) But the midwives feared
God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men
children alive.
(18) And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said
unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
(19) And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew
women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere
the midwives come in unto them.
(20) Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the
people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
(21) And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God,
that he made them houses.
(22) And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son
that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save
alive.
Chapter
2
(1) And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to
wife a daughter of Levi.
(2) And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she
saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
(3) And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him
an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child
therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
(4) And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done
to him.
(5) And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at
the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw
the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
(6) And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and,
behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of
the Hebrews' children.
(7) Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go
and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for
thee?
(8) And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid
went and called the child's mother. (9) And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her,
Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And
the woman took the child, and nursed it.
(10) And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's
daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said,
Because I drew him out of the water.
(11) And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was
grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he
spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
(12) And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw
that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
(13) And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of
the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore
smitest thou thy fellow?
(14) And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over
us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared,
and said, Surely this thing is known.
(15) Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses.
But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and
he sat down by a well.
(16) Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they
came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
(17) And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses
stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
(18) And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How
is it that ye are come so soon to day?
(19) And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand
of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
(20) And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is
it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
(21) And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he
gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. (22) And she bare him a son, and he called
his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
(23) And it came to pass in process of time, that the king
of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and
they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
(24) And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his
covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
(25) And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had
respect unto them.
Chapter
3
(1) Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law,
the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and
came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
(2) And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame
of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned
with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
(3) And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this
great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
(4) And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God
called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he
said, Here am I.
(5) And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes
from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
(6) Moreover 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.
(7) And the LORD
said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and
have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
(8) And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of
the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a
large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the
Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the
Hivites, and the Jebusites.
(9) Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel
is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress
them.
(10) Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh,
that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
(11) And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go
unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of
Egypt?
(12) And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this
shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth
the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
(13) And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the
children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent
me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto
them?
(14) And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said,
Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
(15) And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say
unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name
for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
(16) Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say
unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of
Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which
is done to you in Egypt:
(17) And I have said, I will bring you up out of the
affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the
Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land
flowing with milk and honey.
(18) And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt
come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say
unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we
beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to
the LORD our God.
(19) And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you
go, no, not by a mighty hand.
(20) And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with
all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let
you go.
(21) And I will give this people favour in the sight of the
Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:
(22) But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of
her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and
raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye
shall spoil the Egyptians.
Chapter 4
(1) And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not
believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not
appeared unto thee.
(2) And 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 he cast it on
the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before 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 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, Put now thine
hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it
out, behold, his hand was leprous 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) And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe
thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe
the voice of the latter sign.
(9) And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also
these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt 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 become blood upon the dry land.
(10) And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not
eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but
I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
(11) And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth?
or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the
LORD?
(12) Now therefore go, 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, by the hand
of him whom thou wilt send.
(14) And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses,
and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak
well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee,
he will be glad in his heart.
(15) And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his
mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you
what ye shall do.
(16) And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he
shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him
instead of God.
(17) And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith
thou shalt do signs.
(18) And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in
law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren
which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to
Moses, Go in peace.
(19) And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into
Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life.
(20) And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon
an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in
his hand.
(21) And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return
into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put
in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people
go.
(22) And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD,
Israel is my son, even my firstborn: (23) And I say unto thee, Let my son go,
that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy
son, even thy firstborn.
(24) And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the
LORD met him, and sought to kill him. (25) Then Zipporah took a sharp stone,
and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely
a bloody husband art thou to me.
(26) So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou
art, because of the circumcision. (27) And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the
wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and
kissed him.
(28) And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had
sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
(29) And Moses and
Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel: (30)
And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the
signs in the sight of the people.
(31) And the people believed: and when they heard that the
LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their
affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
Chapter
5
(1) And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh,
Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast
unto me in the wilderness.
(2) And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey
his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
(3) And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us:
let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice
unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
(4) And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye,
Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
(5) And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are
many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
(6) And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of
the people, and their officers, saying,
(7) Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as
heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
(8) And the tale of the bricks, which they did make
heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for
they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
(9) Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may
labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
(10) And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their
officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not
give you straw.
(11) Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not
ought of your work shall be diminished. (12) So the people were scattered
abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
(13) And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your
works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
(14) And the officers of the children of Israel, which
Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore
have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as
heretofore?
(15) Then the officers of the children of Israel came and
cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
(16) There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say
to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in
thine own people.
(17) But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye
say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD. (18) Go therefore now, and work;
for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
(19) And the officers of the children of Israel did see that
they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your
bricks of your daily task.
(20) And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as
they came forth from Pharaoh: (21) And they said unto them, The LORD look upon
you, and judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of
Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay
us.
(22) And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Lord,
wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast
sent me?
(23) For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he
hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
Chapter 6
(1) Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I
will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a
strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
(2) And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the
LORD:
(3) And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob,
by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
(4) And I have also established my covenant with them, to
give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were
strangers.
(5) And I have also heard the groaning of the children of
Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
(6) Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the
LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I
will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out
arm, and with great judgments:
(7) And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to
you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you
out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
(8) And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the
which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will
give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.
(9) And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they
hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
(10) And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
(11) Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let
the children of Israel go out of his land. (12) And Moses spake before the
LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how
then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?
(13) And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave
them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to
bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
(14) These be the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons
of Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these
be the families of Reuben.
(15) And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad,
and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the
families of Simeon.
(16) And these are the names of the sons of Levi according
to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the
life of Levi were an hundred thirty and seven years. (17) The sons of Gershon;
Libni, and Shimi, according to their families.
(18) And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron,
and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath were an hundred thirty and
three years.
(19) And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the
families of Levi according to their generations.
(20) And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to
wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were
an hundred and thirty and seven years.
(21) And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
(22) And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and
Zithri.
(23) And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab,
sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
(24) And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and
Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites.
(25) And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters
of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these are the heads of the
fathers of the Levites according to their families.
(26) These are that
Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from
the land of Egypt according to their armies.
(27) These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to
bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.
(28) And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto
Moses in the land of Egypt,
(29) That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD:
speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
(30) And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of
uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
Isaiah Chapter 27
(6) He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root:
Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
(7) Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him?
or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
(8) In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate
with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
(9) By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged;
and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones
of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images
shall not stand up.
(10) Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the
habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and
there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
(11) When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be
broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no
understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he
that formed them will shew them no favour.
(12) And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD
shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye
shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
(13) And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great
trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the
land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the
LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
Chapter 28
(1) Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim,
whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat
valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
(2) Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as
a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters
overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
(3) The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be
trodden under feet:
(4) And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat
valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer;
which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth
it up.
(5) In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of
glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
(6) And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in
judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
(7) But they also have erred through wine, and through
strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through
strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through
strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
(8) For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that
there is no place clean.
(9) Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to
understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the
breasts.
(10) For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept;
line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
(11) For with stammering lips and another tongue will he
speak to this people.
(12) To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may
cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
(13) But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon
precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little,
and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and
snared, and taken.
Gospel: Matthew 2:1-2
(1) Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the
days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
(2) Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for
we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
(3) When Herod the king had heard these things, he was
troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. (4) And when he had gathered all the
chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where
Christ should be born.
(5) And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus
it is written by the prophet,
(6) And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the
least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that
shall rule my people Israel.
(7) Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men,
enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
(8) And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search
diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word
again, that I may come and worship him also.
(9) When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo,
the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood
over where the young child was.
(10) When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding
great joy.
(11) And when they were come into the house, they saw the
young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when
they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and
frankincense, and myrrh.
(12) And being warned of God in a dream that they should not
return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
