"The errection of the
Tabernacle and the Sacred vessels" Exod: 17-19
Exodus 17-19 (King James
Version)
Exodus 17
1. And all the congregation of the children
of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their
journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and
pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people
to drink.
2.Wherefore the people did chide with Moses,
and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said
unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the
LORD?
3. And the people thirsted there for water;
and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore
is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill
us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
4. And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying,
What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to
stone me.
5. And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on
before the people, and take with thee of the elders of
Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take
in thine hand, and go.
6. Behold, I will stand before thee there
upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and
there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink.
And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of
Israel.
7. And he called the name of the place
Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children
of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the
LORD among us, or not?
8. Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel
in Rephidim.
9. And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out
men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand
on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine
hand.
10.So Joshua did as Moses had said to him,
and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to
the top of the hill.
11. And it came to pass, when Moses held up
his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his
hand, Amalek prevailed.
12. But Moses hands were heavy; and they
took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and
Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side,
and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady
until the going down of the sun.
13. And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his
people with the edge of the sword.
14. And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this
for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of
Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek
from under heaven.
15.And Moses built an altar, and called the
name of it Jehovahnissi:
16. For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn
that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to
generation.
Exodus 18
1. When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses'
father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and
for Israel his people, and that the LORD had brought Israel
out of Egypt;
2. Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took
Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,
3. And her two sons; of which the name of
the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a
strange land:
4. And the name of the other was Eliezer;
for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and
delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
5. And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came
with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness,
where he encamped at the mount of God:
6. And he said unto Moses, I thy father in
law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons
with her.
7. And Moses went out to meet his father in
law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each
other of their welfare; and they came into the tent.
8. And Moses told his father in law all that
the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for
Israel's sake, and all the travail that had come upon them
by the way, and how the LORD delivered them.
9. And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness
which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out
of the hand of the Egyptians.
10.And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who
hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out
of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from
under the hand of the Egyptians.
11. Now I know that the LORD is greater than
all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was
above them.
12. And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a
burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and
all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father in
law before God.
13. And it came to pass on the morrow, that
Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses
from the morning unto the evening.
14. And when Moses' father in law saw all
that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that
thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone,
and all the people stand by thee from morning unto
even?
15. And Moses said unto his father in law,
Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:
16. When they have a matter, they come unto
me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them
know the statutes of God, and his laws.
17. And Moses' father in law said unto him,
The thing that thou doest is not good.
18. Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou,
and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too
heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself
alone.
19. Hearken now unto my voice, I will give
thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the
people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto
God:
20. And thou shalt teach them ordinances and
laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk,
and the work that they must do.
21. Moreover thou shalt provide out of all
the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating
covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of
thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and
rulers of tens:
22. And let them judge the people at all
seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall
bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so
shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the
burden with thee.
23. If thou shalt do this thing, and God
command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all
this people shall also go to their place in peace.
24. So Moses hearkened to the voice of his
father in law, and did all that he had said.
25. And Moses chose able men out of all
Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of
thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers
of tens.
26. And they judged the people at all
seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every
small matter they judged themselves.
27. And Moses let his father in law depart;
and he went his way into his own land.
Exodus 19
1. In the third month, when the children of
Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same
day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
2. For they were departed from Rephidim, and
were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the
wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
3. And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD
called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou
say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of
Israel;
4. Ye have seen what I did unto the
Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought
you unto myself.
5. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice
indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar
treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is
mine:
6. And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of
priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou
shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
7. And Moses came and called for the elders
of the people, and laid before their faces all these words
which the LORD commanded him.
8. And all the people answered together, and
said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses
returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
9. And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come
unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I
speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told
the words of the people unto the LORD.
10. And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto
the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let
them wash their clothes,
11.And 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 thou shalt set bounds unto the
people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye
go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it:
whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to
death:
13. There shall not an hand touch it, but he
shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast
or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long,
they shall come up to the mount.
14. And Moses went down from the mount unto
the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their
clothes.
15. And he said unto the people, Be ready
against the third day: come not at your wives.
16. And it came to pass on the third day in
the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a
thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet
exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp
trembled.
17. And Moses brought forth the people out
of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether
part of the mount.
18. And mount Sinai was altogether on a
smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the
smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the
whole mount quaked greatly.
19. And when the voice of the trumpet
sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and
God answered him by a voice.
20. And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai,
on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the
top of the mount; and Moses went up.
21. And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down,
charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to
gaze, and many of them perish.
22. And let the priests also, which come
near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break
forth upon them.
23. And Moses said unto the LORD, The people
cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us,
saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
24. And the LORD said unto him, Away, get
thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with
thee: but let not the priests and the people break through
to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon
them.
25. So Moses went down unto the people, and
spake unto them.
