Bible (KJV) 01-03: Genesis, Exodus and Leviticus

02:032:001 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 02:032:002 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. 02:032:003 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 02:032:004 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 02:032:005 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD. 02:032:006 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. 02:032:007 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: 02:032:008 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 02:032:009 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 02:032:010 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. 02:032:011 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? 02:032:012 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. 02:032:013 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 02:032:014 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. 02:032:015 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written. 02:032:016 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables. 02:032:017 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. 02:032:018 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear. 02:032:019 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. 02:032:020 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it. 02:032:021 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them? 02:032:022 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief. 02:032:023 For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 02:032:024 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf. 02:032:025 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:) 02:032:026 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. 02:032:027 And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour. 02:032:028 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. 02:032:029 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day. 02:032:030 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin. 02:032:031 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. 02:032:032 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. 02:032:033 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. 02:032:034 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them. 02:032:035 And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made. 02:033:001 And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it: 02:033:002 And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: 02:033:003 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way. 02:033:004 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments. 02:033:005 For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee. 02:033:006 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb. 02:033:007 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp. 02:033:008 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle. 02:033:009 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses. 02:033:010 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door. 02:033:011 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. 02:033:012 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. 02:033:013 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. 02:033:014 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. 02:033:015 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. 02:033:016 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. 02:033:017 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. 02:033:018 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. 02:033:019 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. 02:033:020 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. 02:033:021 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: 02:033:022 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: 02:033:023 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen. 02:034:001 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest. 02:034:002 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount. 02:034:003 And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount. 02:034:004 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone. 02:034:005 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. 02:034:006 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 02:034:007 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. 02:034:008 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. 02:034:009 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O LORD, let my LORD, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance. 02:034:010 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee. 02:034:011 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 02:034:012 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee: 02:034:013 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: 02:034:014 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: 02:034:015 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; 02:034:016 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods. 02:034:017 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods. 02:034:018 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt. 02:034:019 All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male. 02:034:020 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty. 02:034:021 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest. 02:034:022 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end. 02:034:023 Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel. 02:034:024 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year. 02:034:025 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning. 02:034:026 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. 02:034:027 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel. 02:034:028 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. 02:034:029 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. 02:034:030 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. 02:034:031 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them. 02:034:032 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai. 02:034:033 And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face. 02:034:034 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded. 02:034:035 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him. 02:035:001 And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them. 02:035:002 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. 02:035:003 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day. 02:035:004 And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying, 02:035:005 Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass, 02:035:006 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, 02:035:007 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood, 02:035:008 And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense, 02:035:009 And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate. 02:035:010 And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded; 02:035:011 The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets, 02:035:012 The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering, 02:035:013 The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread, 02:035:014 The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light, 02:035:015 And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle, 02:035:016 The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot, 02:035:017 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court, 02:035:018 The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords, 02:035:019 The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office. 02:035:020 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. 02:035:021 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments. 02:035:022 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD. 02:035:023 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them. 02:035:024 Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD's offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it. 02:035:025 And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen. 02:035:026 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair. 02:035:027 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate; 02:035:028 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. 02:035:029 The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses. 02:035:030 And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; 02:035:031 And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship; 02:035:032 And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 02:035:033 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work. 02:035:034 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 02:035:035 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work. <div style="break-after:column;"></div>
