Unleavened bread.

Ifraels departure.

20 Ye fhall eat nothing leavened: in all your habitations fhall ye eat unleavened bread.

Chap. xil. Tamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his houfe, take it according to the number of the fouls; every man according to his eating, thall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb fhall be without blemish, a male of the first-year: ye shall take it out from the sheep or from the goats.

6 And ye thall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the fame month and the whole affembly of the congregation of Ifrael all kill it in the evening.

7 And they shall take of the blood, and ftrike it on the two fide polts, and on the upper door poft of the houses, wherein they fhall eat it.

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

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

To And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning: and that which remaineth of it until the morning, ye fhall burn with fire.

11 And thus fhall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your fhoes on your feet, and your ftaff in your hand: and ye fhall eat it in halte; it is the LORDS paflover.

21 Then Mofes called for all the elders of Ifrael, and faid unto them Draw out and take you a lamb, according to your families, and kill the paffover.

22 And ye thall take a bunch of hyffop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bafon, and ftrike the lintel and the two fide-posts with the blood that is in the bafon : and none of you fhall go out at the door of his houfe until the morning.

23 For the LORD will pafs through to fmite the Egyptians, and when he feeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two fide-polts, the LORD will pafs over the door, and will not fuffer the deftroyer to come in unto your houfes to fmite you.

24 And ye thall obferve this thing for an ordinance to thee, and to thy fons for ever.

25 And it thall come to pafs, when ye be come to the land, which the LORD will give you, acoording as he hath promised, that ye thall keep this fervice.

26 And it fhall come to pafs, when your children fhall fay unto you, What mean you by this fervice?

27 That ye fhall fay, It is the facrifice of the LORD's pafover, who paffed over the houfes of the children of Ifrael in Egypt, when he fmote the Egyptians, and delivered our houfes. And the people bowed the head, and worshipped.

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

12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and willfmite all the firftBorn in the land of Egypt, both man and beaft; and againit all the gods of Egypt 1 will execute judgment; I am the LORD. 13 And the blood fhall be to you for a token upon the houfes where you are and when I fee the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague fhall not be upon you, to 29 And it came to pass that at middeftroy you, when I fmite & land of Egypt. night the LORD fmote all the fift born in 14 And this day fhall be unto you for a the land of Egypt, from the firit-born of memorial: and you ihall keep it a feaft to Pharaoh, that fat on his throne, unto the the LORD: throughout your generations: first-born of the captive that was in the you fhall keep it a feaft by an ordinance dungeon, and all the first-born of cattle. for ever.

15 Seven days fhall ye eat unleavened bread, even the first day ye thall put away leaven out of your houfes: for whosoever eateth leavened bread, from the first day until the feventh day, that foul fhall be cut off from Ifrael.

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

17 And ye shall obferve the feaft of unleavened bread: for in this felf fame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt; therefore fhall ye obferve this day in your generations, by an ordiDance for ever.

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

19. Seven days fhall there be no leaven found in your houfes; for whofoever eateth that which is leavened, even that foul fhall be cut off from the congregation of rael, whether he be à ftranger, or botn

in the land.

30 And Pharaoh role up in the night, he and all his fervants, and all the Egyptians, and there was a great cry in Egypt: for there was not a houfe where there was not one dead.

31 And he called for Mofes and Aaron by night, and faid, Rife up, and get you forth froin amongst my people, both you and the children of Ifrael: and go, ferve the LORD, as ye have faid.

32 Alfo take your flocks and your herds, as ye have faid: & begone, & blefs me alfo.

33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might fend them out of the land in halte: for they faid, We be all dead men.

34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes, upon their shoulders.

35 And the children of Ifrael did according to the word of Mofes and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of filver, and jewels of gold, and raiment.

36 And the LORD gave the people favour in the fight of the Egyptians, to that they lent unto them fuch things as they required; and they spoiled the Egyptians. 37

Exodus,

37 And the children of Ifrael journeyed frem Ramefes to Sucroth, about fix hundred thousand on foot that were men, befides children.

38 And a mixed multitude went up alfo with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.

39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough, which they brought forth out of Egypt: for it was not leavened becaufe they were thruft out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themfeives any victual.

40 Now the fojourning of the children of Ifrael, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

41 And it came to pafs, at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the felf fame day it came to pass, that all the hofts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

42 It is a night to be much obferved unto the LORD, for bringing them out from the land of Egypt; this is that night of the LORD to be obferved of all the children of Ifrael in their generations.

4? And the LORD faid unto Mofes and Aaron, this is the ordinance of the paffover: there fhall no stranger eat thereof.

44 But every mans fervant that is bought for money, when thou haft circumcifed bim, then shall be eat thereof.

45 A foreigner, and an hired fervant fhall not eat thereof.

46 In one houfe fhall it be eaten, thou fhalt not carry forth ought of the fleth a broad out of the house neither fhall ye break a bone thereof.

47 All the congregation of Ifrael fhall keep it.

48 And when a ftranger fhall fojourn with thee, and will keep the pallover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcifed, and then let him come near and keep it: and he fhall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcifed perfon fhall eat thereof. 49 One law thall be to him that is homeboin, and unto the stranger that fojburneth among you.

50 Thus did all the children of Iftael, as the LORD commanded Mofes and Aaron, fo did they.

51 And it came to pass the felf fame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Ifrael out of the land of Egypt, by their armies.

CHAP. XIII. The first born are fantified to God.3 The memorial of the pallover commanded. 2 God guideth them by a pillar of a cloud and of fire.

4 This day came ye out, in the month Abib.

5 And it shall be when the LORD hal bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he fware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this fervice in this month.

6 Seven days fhalt thou eat unleavened bread, and in the feventh day shall be a feat to the LORD.

7 Unleavened bread fhall be eaten seven days: and there fhall no leavened bread be feen with thee, neither fhall there bo leaven feen with thee in all thy quarters.

8 And thou fhalt fhew thy ion in that day, faying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me, when I came forth out of Egypt.

9 And it fhall be for a fign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes; that the LORDS law may be in thy mouth for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.

10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his feafon from year to year.

11. And it fhall be when the LORD fhall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he fware unto thee and to thy fathers, and thall give it thee.

12 That thou shalt fet apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix: and every firstling that cometh of a beaft, which thou haft, the males shall be the LORDS.

13 And every firstling of an ass thou fhalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou fhalt break his neck and all the firit-born of man amongst thy children fhalt thou redeem.

14 And it fhall be when thy fon asketh thee in time to come, faying, What is this? that thou shalt fay unto him, By ftrength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the houfe of bondage.

15 And it came to pafs when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD flew all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of man, and the firft-born of beaft; therefore I facrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the first-born of my children I redeem.

6 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: For by ftrength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.

And it came to pafs, when Pharaon had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philiftines, although that was near: for God faid, Left peradventure the people repent when they fee war, and they return to Egypt.

18 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red-fea: and the children of Ifrael went up harnefed out of the land of Egypt.

21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light to go by day and night. 22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.

22 And the children of Ifrael went into the midft of the fea upon the dry ground, and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on the left.

4 Pharaohs chariots and his hoft hath he caft into the fea: his chofen captains allo are drowned in the Red-fea.

5 The depths have covered them: they fank into the bottom as a stone.

6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power; thy right hand, O LORD, hath dafhed in pieces the enemy.

And in the greatness of thine excellency thou haft overthrown them that role up against thee; thou fenteft forth thy wrath, which confumed them as ftubble.

8 And with the blaft of thy noftrils the waters were gathered together; the floods tood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the fea.

22 So Mofes brought Ifrael from the Red-fea, and they went out into the wildernefs of Shur: and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah

24 And the people murmured againft Mofes, faying, What fhall we drink?

25 And he cried unto the LORD, and the LORD fhewed him a tree, which when he had caft into the waters, the waters were made fweet:there he made forthem a flatute & an ordinance, and there he proved them.

26 And faid, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his fight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his ftatutes, I will put none of thefe difeafes upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians : for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

2 And the whole congregation of the children of Ifrael murmured against Mofes and Aaron in the wildernels.

3 And the children of Ifrael faid unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we fat by the flesh-pots, and when we did eat bread to the full for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole affembly with hunger.

4 Then faid the LORD unto Mofes, Behold: I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people fhall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

5 And it fhall come to pafs, that on the fixth day, they fhall prepare that which they bring in, and it fhall be twice as much as they gather daily.

Chap: xvii.

6 And Mofes and Aaron faid unto all the children of Ifrael. At even, then ye fhall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt.

7 And in the morning then ye fhall fee the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: And what are we that ye murmur against us?

8 And Mofes faid, This shall be when the LORD fhall give you in the evening fiefh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but againft the LORD.

9 And Mofes fpake unto Aaron, Say upto all the congregation of the children of Ifrael, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.

to And it came to pafs, as Aaron fpake unto the whole congregation of the children of Ifrael, that they looked toward the wildernefs, and behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.

11 ¶ And the LORD fpake unto Mofes, faying,

12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Ifrael: fpeak unto them. faying, At even ye fhall eat flesh, and in the morning ye thall be filled with bread and ye fhall know y 1 am the LORD your God. 13 And it came to pafs, that at even the quails came up, & covered the camp: & in morning the dew lay round about hoft. 14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wildernefs there lay a fmall round thing, as fmall as the hoar froft on the ground.

15 And when the children of Ifrael faw it, they faid one to another, It is manna: for they wift not what it was. And Mofes faid unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

16 This is the thing which the LORD bath commanded, gather of it every man according to his eating: an omer for every man, according to the number of your perfons, take ye every man for them which are in his tents.

17 And the children of Ifrael did fo, and gathered, fome more, fome lefs.

18 And when they did met it with an omer, he that gathered much, had nothing over, and he that gathered little, had no lack': they gathered every man according to his eating.

19 And Mofes faid, Let no man leave of it till the morning.

20 Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto Mofes, but fome of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms and flank: and Moles was wroth with them. 21 And they gathered it every morning, - every man according to his eating and when the fun waxed hot, it melted.

And it cameo pafs,tbat on the fixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Mofes.

13 And he faid unto them, This is that which the LORD bath faid, to morrow is

They murmur for water.

the rest of the holy fabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and feethe that ye will feethe; and that which remaineth over, lay up for you to be kept until the morning

24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Mofes bade: and it did not ftink, neither was there any worm therein.

25 And Mofes faid, Eat that to day; for to day is a fabbath unto the LORD: to day ye fhall not find it in the field.

26 Six days ye fhall gather it: but on the feventh day which is the fabbath, in it there fhall be none.

27 And it came to pafs, that there went out fomeof the people on the feventh day for to gather, and they found none.

28 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, How long refufe ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

29 See, for that the LORD hath given you the fabbath, therefore he giveth you on the fixth day the bread of two days: abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on y feventh day.

30 So people refted on leventh day. 31 And the houfe of Ifrael called the name thereof manna: and it was like coriander-feed, white: and the tafte of it was like wafers made with honey.

32 And Mofes faid, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may fee the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.

33 And Mofes faid unro Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.

34 As the LORD commanded Mofes, fo Aaron laid it up before the reftimony, to be kept.

35 And the children of Ifrael did eat manna fourty years, until they came to a land inhabited: they did eat manna, until they came unto borders of land of Canaan. 36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
