39 And the flocks conceived before
the rods, and brought fort h cattle ring-

and fet the faces of the flocks toward
the ring-ftraked and all the brown

own flocks by themfelves, and put
them not unto Labans cattle.
41 And it came to pafs, whenfoever

Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of

Now Jacob had pitched his tenr. in the

for Jacob knew not that Rachel had

found them not. Then went he out of
Leahs tent, and entered into Rachels

fc i S "£ hap ' them, h Do not interpretations belong

9 And the chief butler told his
dream to Jofeph, and faid unto him,
In my dream, behold, a vine was be-
fore me.
10 And in the vine were three
branches : and it was as though it
budded, and her blolfoms mot forth ;
and the cluiters thereof brought forth
ripe grapes.
i i And Pharaohs cup was in my
hand : and I took the grapes, and
preifed them into Pharaohs cup, and
I gave the cup into Pharaohs hand.
12 And Jofeph faid unto him, This
is the interpretation of it : The three
branches are three days :
13 Yet within three days fhall Pha-
raoh c || lift up thine head, and reitore
thee unto thy place : and thou fhalt
deliver Pharaohs cup into his hand,

dreamed ; and, behold, he ftood by

kine, and fat-flelhed ; and they fed
in a meadow.
3 And, behold, feven other kine
came up after them out of the river,
ill-favoured and lean-fkfhed ; and
ftood by the ether kine, upon the

Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was

1 7 And Pharaoh faid unto Jofeph,
In my dream, behold, I itood upon
the bank of the river.
1 8 And, behold, there came up out
of the river feven kine, fat - Hefhed
and well-favoured.; and they fed in
a meadow :
1 9 And, behold, (even other kine
came up after them, poor, and very
ill-favoured, and lean-Hefhed, fuch
as I never faw in all the land of
Egypt for badnefs.
20 And the lean and the ill-fa-
voured kine did tat up the firlt fe-
ven fat kine.
2 1 And when they had f e2ten
them up, it could not be known that
they had eaten them ; but they were
(till ill-favoured, as at the beginning.
So I awoke.
22 And I faw in my dream, and,
behold, feven ears came up in one
(talk, full and good.
23 And, behoid, feven ears jj wi-
thered, thin, and Mailed with the
eaft wind, fprung up after them :
y<tfeph interpreteth them.
24 And the thin ears devoured the **m
feven good ears. And I told this un- £g
to the rmgicians ; but there was none ' — "~
that could declare it to me.
2i *l And Jofeph laid unto Pha-
raon, The dream of Pharaoh is one :
God hath (hewed Pharaoh what he
is about to do.
26 The feven good kine are feven
years ; and the feven good ears at e
feven years : the dream is one.
27 And the foven thin and ill-fa-
voured kine that came up after them
are feven years; and the feven empty
ears blafted with the ealt wind f ha 11
be f feven years of famine. {, 2 *'■»
28 This it the thing which I have
fpoken unto Pharaoh : what God is
about to do heffiewethunto Pharaoh.
29 Behold, there come feven years
of great plenty throughout all the
land or Egypt.
3d And there mall arife after them
feven years of famine ; and all the
pleaty (hall be forgotten in the land
of Egypt , and the famine {ball con-
fume the land :
3r And the plenty (hall not be
known in the land, by reafon of that
famine following ; for izjliall be very
f grievous. ' f nw>i
32 And for that the dream was *"*
doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is
becaufe the thing is \\ eftablilhed by ' -•
God, and God will lhortly bring it
to pafs.
33 Now, therefore, let Pharaoh
look out a man difcreet and wife,
and fet him over the land of Egypt.
34 Let Pharaoh do t'l/s, and let him
appoint || officers over the land, and I <*
take up the fifth part of the land of
Egypt in the feven plenteous years.
35 And let them gather all the
food of thofe good years that come,
and lay up corn under the hand of
Pharaoh, and let them keep food in
the cities.
36 And that food (hall be for (tore
to the land againlt the feven years
of famine, which (hall be in the land
of Egypt ; that the land f perilh not L'/fui^.
through the famine.
37 f And the thing was good in
the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes
of all his Servants.

vants, Can we find fitch a out as this is,
a man 8 in whom the Spirit of Odd is ? "."-. '."

no man lift up his hand or foot in all

45 And Pharaoh called Jofephs
name Zaphnath - paaneah ; and he
gave him to wife Afenath, the daugh-
ter of Poti-pherah || prieftof On. And
Jofeph went out over all the land of
Egypt.
46 *j (And jofeph was thirty years
old when be flood before Pharaoh

from the prefence of Pharaoh, and
went throughout all the land of

47 And in the feven plenteous years
the earth brought forth by handfuls.
4H And he gathered up all the food
of the feven years, which were in the
land of Egypt, and hud up the food
in the cities: the food of the field
which was round about every city
laid he up in the fame.
49 And Jofeph gathered corn as
the fand of the fea, very much, until
he left numbering : for it was with-
out number.
50 \ m And unto Jofeph were born
two fons before the years of famine
came ; which Afenath, the daughter

called he || Ephraim : for God hath
caufed me to be fruitful in the land

9 And Jofeph faid unto his father,
They are my fons, whom God hath
given me in this place. And he faid,
Bring them, I pray thee, unto me,
and 1 will blefs them.
10 (Now d the eyes of Ifrael were
f dim for age, Jo that he could not

him; and he killed them, and em-
braced them.
1 1 And Ifraelfaid unto Jofeph, I had
cot thought to fee thy face ; add, lo,
God hath i'newed me alfo thy feed.
12 And jofeph brought them out
from between his knees, and he bow-
ed himfelf with his face to the earth.
13 And Jofeph took them both,
Ephraim in his right hand toward
Ifraels left hand, and Manafleh in his
left hand toward Ifraels right hand,
and brought them near unto him.
14 And Ifrael ftretched out hisright
hand, and laid //upon Ephraims head,
who was the younger, and his left
hand upon Muuaflehs head, guiding
his hands wittingly ; for Manajieh
was the firft-born.
15 H And £ he blefTed Jofeph, and
, faid, God, f before whom my fathers
Abraham and Ifaac did walk, the
God which fed me all my life long
unto this day,
1 6 The Angel £ which redeemed
me from all evil, blefs the lads ; and
let myname be named on them, and
the name of my fathers Abraham and
Ifaac; and let them f grow into a
multitude in the midft of the earth.
17 And when Jofeph faw that his
father laid h«s right hand upon the
head of Ephraim it difpleafed him :
and he held up his fathers hand, to
remove it from Ephraims head unto
Manaflehs head.
18 And Jofeph faid unto his father,
Not fo, my father : for this is the firtt-
born ; put thy right hand upon his
head.
in And his father refufed, and faid,
I know it, my fon, I know it; he alfo
mall become a people, and he alfo
' mail be great; but truly b his younger

before Manafleh. * v
21 And Ifrael faid unto Jofeph,

7^Hen the Lord faid unto Mofes, Befcia
Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell m?'k
him, Thus faith the Lord God of the v — *"" — '
Hebrews, Let my people go, that they
may ferve me.
2 For if thou cefufe to let them go,
and wilt hold them ftill,
3 Behold, the hand of the Lord is
upon thy cattle which is in, the field,
upon the horfes, upon the afles, upon
the camels, upon the oxen, and upon
the llieep : there Jhall be a very grie-
vous murrain.
4 And * the Lord lhall fever be- a Clil *
tween the cattle of Ifrael and the 8 ' "'
cattle of Egypt : and there fhall no-
thing die of all tliat is the childrens
of Ifrael.
5 And the Lord appointed a fet
time, faying, To-morrow the Lord
lhall do this thing in the land.
6 And the Lord did that thing on
the morrow, and b all the cattle of^rwm
Egypt died ; but of the cattle of the 78 ' 5 °'
children of Ifrael died not one.
7 And Pharaoh fent, and, behold,
there was not one of the cattle of the
Ifraelites dead. And c the heart of^?'
Pharaoh was hardened, and he did
not let the people go.
8 f And the Lord faid unto Mofes
and unto Aaron, Take to you hand-
fuls of afhes of the furnace, and let
Mofes fprinkle it toward the heaven
in the fight of Pharaoh ;
9 And it fhall become fmall dud
in all the land of Egypt, and fhall be
d a boil breaking forth -with biains, \*Z'
upon man, and upon beaft, through-
out all the land of Egypt.
10 And they took allies of the fur-
nace, and flood before Pharaoh ; and
Mofes fprinkled it up toward hea-
ven ; and it became e a boil breaking \%™\-
forth -with biains upon man, and upon
beaft.
1 1 And the magicians could not
ftand before Mofes becaufe of the boil :
for the boil was upon the magicians,
and upon all the Egyptians.
12 And the Lord hardened the
heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened
not unto them; f as the Lord had ^i?'
fpoken unto Mofes.
13 \ And the Lord faid unto
Mofes, Rife up early in the morning,
and ftand before Pharaoh, and fay
unto him, Thus faith the Lord God
of the Hebrews, Let my people go,
that they may ferve me.
E 14 For
THe plague of fail. £ X O
cbnu M For I will at this time fend all
% I *Q'- , my plagues upon thine heart, and upon
" thy ferrants, and upon thy people ;
that tliou mayeft know that there is
none like me in all the earth.
15 For now I will ftrerch out my
hand, that I may fmite thee and thy
people with peftilence ; and thou fhalt
be cut off from the earth.
I R j° 7 ?- 1 6 And in wry deed for g this caufe

1 7Asyetexalteft thou thyfelf againft
my people, that thou wilt not let them
go?
18 Behold, to-morrow about this
time I will caufe it to rain a very
grievous hail, fuch as hath not been
in Egypt fince the foundation thereof
even until now.
19 Send therefore now, and gather
thy cattle, and all that thou haft in
the held : ftir upon every man and
beaft which (hall be found in the
field, and (hall not be brought home,
the ha'n (lull come down upon them,
and they fhall die.
20 He that feared the word of the
Lord among the fervants of Pharaoh
made his fervants and his cattle flee
into the houfes -.
/Jw 1 /'*; 21 And he that + regarded not the
btanunto. wor( j f t j ie Lorn, left his fervants
and his cattle in the field.
22 *] And the Lord faid unto Mofes,
Stretch forth thine hand toward hea-
io R sj'. ven ' that there may be h hail in all the
land of Egypt, upon man, and upon
beaft, and upon every herb of the
field, throughout the land of Egypt.
23 And Mofes ftretched forth his
alongupontheground ; andtheLoRD
rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 So there was hail, and fire
mingled with the hail, very grie-
vous, fuch as there was none like it
in all the land of Egypt fince- it be-
came a nation.
25 And the hail fmote throughout
all the land of Egypt all that was in
the field, both man and beaft ; and
the hail fmote every herb of the field,
and brake every tree of the field.
£.*?!& 26 kOnly in the land of Golhen,

27 1i And Pharaoh fent and call-

people are wicked. mul'
28 'Entreat the Lord, (for it is m^TsT'
enough,; that there be no more\m\g\\- \£f 7 *
ty thunderings and hail; and I will let «*•«"•»*
you go, and ye fhall ftay no longer. -!„"^
29 And Mofes faid unto him, Af- G " 1 -
foon as I am gone out of the city I
will fpread abroad my hands unto the
Lord and the thunder fhall ceafe,
neither fhall there be any more hail ;
that thou mayeft know how that the

30 But as for thee and thy fer- " 4 ''
vants, I know that ye will not yet

3 c And the flax and the barley was
fmitten : for the barley was in the
ear, and the flax was boiled.
32 ■ But the wheat and the rye 1 T ^l\
were not fmitten : for they were \ not - 2 ->-
grown up. wSto.8%
33 And Mofes went out of the city ''•"■*•
from Pharaoh, and fpread abroad his
hands unto the Lord : and the thun-
ders and hail ceafed, and the rain was
not poured upon the earth.
34 And when Pharaoh faw that the
rain, and the hail, and the thunders*
were ceafed, he finned yet more, and
hardened his heart, he and his fervants.
35 And °the heart of Pharaoh was ° ( ^«*
hardened, neither would he let the
children of Ifrael go ; as the Lord
had fpoken f by Mofes.

12 The plague of locii/ls, 21 of dark -

ANd the Lord faid unto Mofes, Go

my ligns before him :
2 And that b thou mayeft tell in ^ -V;
the ears of thy fon, and of thy fons »»**•
fon, what things I have wrought in
Egypt, and my ligns which I have
done among them ; that ye may know
how that I am the Lord.
3 And iViofes and Aaron came in
unto Pharaoh, and faid unto him,
Thus faith the Lord God of the He-
brews, How long wilt thou refufe to
humble thyfelf before me ? Let my
people go, that they may ferve me :
4 Elfe, if thou refufe to let my
people go, behold, to-morrow will
I bring the c locufts into thy coaft. ^ fd -
5 And they fhall cover the f face t ueb. <,.-,

and the houfes of all thy fervants,
and the houfes of all the Egyptians ;
which neither thy fathers nor thy fa-
thers fathers have feen, fince the nay
that they were upon the earth unto
this day. And he turned hirafelf, and
went out from Pharaoh.
7 And Pharaohs fervants faid unto
him, How long fhall this man be a
fnare unto us ? Let the men go, that
they may ferve the Lord their God.
Knoweft thou not yet that Egypt is
deftroyed ?
8 And Mofes and Aaron were
brought again unto Pharaoh : and he
faid unto them, Go, ferve the Lord
"ol'mt y° ur God ' but \ who are they that
i«,&c. (hall go ?
9 And Mofes faid, We will go with
our young and with our old, with
our fons and with our daughters ;
with our flocks and with our herds
will we go : for we mujl hold a feaft
unto the Lord.
io And he faid unto them, Let the
Lord be fo with you, as I will let
you go, and your little ones : look to
its for evil is before you.
1 1 Not fo ; go now ye that are men,
and ferve the Lord a for that ye did
defire. And they were driven out
from Pharaohs prefence.
12 t And the Lord faid unto Mo-
fes, Stretch out thine hand over the
land of Egypt for the locufts, that
they may come up upon the land of
Egypt, and eat every herb of the land,
even all that the hail hath left.
13 And Mofes ftretched forth his
rod over the land of Egypt, and the
Lord brought an eaft wind upon the
land all that day, and all that night :
and when it was morning, the eaft
wind brought the locufts.
pr.78.46- 14 And e the locufts went up over

all the coafts of Egypt : very grie-
*> *• vous were they ; f before them there
were no fuch locufts as they, neither
•after them fhall be fuch.
15 For they covered the face of
the whole earth, fo that the land was
darkened ; and they did eat every
-herb of the land, and all the fruit of
the trees which the hail had left : and
there remained not any green thing
in the trees, or in the herbs of the
field, through all the land of Egypt.
16 1 Then Pharaoh trailed for

1 7 Now, therefore, forgive, I pray (/
thee, my fin only this once, and °en- !? c ^*

18 And he went out from Pharaoh,
and entreated the Lord.
19 And the Lord turned a mighty
ftrong welt wind, which took away
the locufts, and f caft them ''into the ; I: h ,

20 But the Lord 'hardened Pha- ^"Jfjj
raohs heart, fo that he would not let "• 'ti-
the children of Jfrael go.
21 1l And the Lord laid unto Mo-
fes, Stretch out thine hand toward
heaven, that there may be darknefs
over the land of Egypt, feven dark- t"^ e
nefs which may be felt. "J"-*;" 1
22 And Mofes ftretched forth his
hand toward heaven ; and there was

24 1 And Pharaoh called unto Mo-
fes, and faid, Go ye, ferve the Lord ;
only let your flocks and your herds be
ftayed : let your little ones alfo go
with you.
2 5 And Mofes faid, Thou muft give
+ us alfo facrifices and burnt-offer- c f J ff ';;.;; : '
ings, that we may facrifice unto the
Lord our God.
26 Our cattle alfo fhall go with us;
there fhall not an hoof be left behind :
for thereof muft we take to ferve the
Lord our God ; and we know not
with what we muft ferve the Lord
until we com? thither
27 T[ But the Lord ra hardened \+.'.?X
Pharaohs heart, and he would not
let them go.
28 And Pharaoh faid unto him,
Get thee from me, take heed to thy*,
(elf, fee my face no more : for in
that day thou feeft my face thou

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 lhall not find it in
the held.
26 Six days ye fhall gather it ; but
on the feventh day, wliich is the fab-
bath, in it there lhall be none.
27 K And it came to pafs, that
there went ant-fame of the people
on the feventh day tor to gather, and
they found none.
28 And the Lord faid unto Mo-
fes, How long refnfe 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 lixth day
the bread of two days : abide ye
every man in his place ; let no man
go out of his place on the feventh

30 So the people refted on the fe-

31 And the houfe of Ifrael called
the name thereof Manna: and P -U{*
was like coriander-feed, white ; and
the talle of it was like wafers made

thing which the Lord command-
ed!, Fill an omer of it to be kept
for your generations ; that they may
fee the bread wherewith 1 have
fed you in the wildernefs, when I
brought you forth from the land of

fore the Lord, to be kept for your

34 As the Lord commanded Mo-

ANd A all the congregation ot' the
children of Ifrael journeyed from
the wildernefs of Sin, after their jour-
neys, according to the commandment
of the Lord, and pitched in Rcphi-
dim ; and there was no water for the
people to drink.
2 b Wherefore the people did chide
with Mofes, artd faid, Give us water,
that we may drink. And Mofes faid
unto them, Why chide ye with me ?
wherefore do ye c tempt the Lord ?
5 And the people thiiited there for
water ; and the people murmured
ngainlt Mofes, and laid, Wherefore
is this that thou haft brought us up
out of Egypt to kill us, and our chil-
dren, and our cattle, with thirft ?
4 And iofes cried unto the Lord,
laying. What fhail I do unto this
people ? they be aimed ready to ftone
me.
5 And the Lord faid unto Mcfes,
Go on before the people, and take
v/r'a thee of the elders of Ifrael : and
thy rod wherewith a thou fmoteft the
river, take in thine hand, and go.
6 c Behold, Iwillftand before thee

thou Ihalt finite the rock, and there
; mall come water out of it, that the

fo in the light of the elders of Ifrael.
7 And he called the name of the

fought with Ifrael in Rephidim.
9 And Mofes faid unto ''Jofhua,
Choofe us out men, and go out, fight
with Amalek : to- morrow I will Itand
on the top of the hill, with ' the rod
of God in mine hand.
10 So Joihua did as Mofes had faid
to him, and fought with Amalek:
and Mofes, Aaron, and Hur, went
up to the top of the hill.
t r And it came to pafs, when Mofes
held up his hand, that Ifrael prevail-
ed ; and when he let down his hand,
Amalek prevailed.
1 2 But Mofes hands were heavy ;
and they took a ftone, and put it un-
der him, and he fat thereon : and
Aaron and Hur Hayed up his hands,
the one on the one Side, and the other
on the other fide ; and his hands were
Heady until the going down of the fun.

and his people with the edge of the
fword.
14 If And theLoRDfkiduntoMofes,
Write this for a memorial in a book,
and rehearfe it in the ears of Joihua;
for k I will utterly put out the re-
membrance of Amalek from under
heaven.
1 5 And Mofes built an akar, and call-
ed the name of it || JEHOVAH-niffi :
16 For he faid, || Becaufe f the

WHen a Jethro, the prieft of Mi-
dian, Mofes father-in-law, heard
of all that God had done for Mofes,
and for Ifrael his people, and that
the Lord had brought Ifrael out of
Egypt,
2 Then Jethro, Mofes father-in-
law, ,j took Zipporah, Mofes wife,
after he had lent her back,
3 And her two fon-, of which the
c name of the one was jj Gerlhom, (for
he faid, I have been an alien in a
flrange land ;)
4 And the name of the other was
|| Eliezei\ (for the God of my father,
faid '«('. -Was mine help, and delivered
me from the fwoi\i of Pharaoh;)
5 And Jethro, Mofes father-in-law,
came with his fon c and his wife unto
Mofes into the wildernefs, where he
encamped d at the mount of God.
6 And he faid unto Mofes, I, thy
father-in-law Jethro, am come unta

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 ths
hand of the Egyptians.
11 Now I know that the Lord
io, h iS',2*. is greater than all gods : ' for in the
ith-V.* tnin S wnerein tliev dealt P r °udly lie

12 And Jethro, Mofes father-in-
law, took a burnt-offering and facri-
fices for God : and Aaron came, and
all the elders of Ifrael, to eat bread
with Mofes father-in-law before God.
13 H And it came to pafs on the
morrow that Mofes fat to judge the
people : and the people flood by
Mofes from the morning unto the
evening.
14 And when Mofes father-in-law
faw all that he did to the people, he
faid, What is this thing that thou
doeft to the people ? why fitted thou
thyfelf alone, and all the people (land
by thee from morning unto even ?
1 5 And Mofes faid unto his father-
in-law, Becaufe f the people come
unto me to enquire of God.
15 34 - 16 When they have a matter they
come unto me, and I judge between
*n*. . -j- one and another; and I do make
tbjaiZ. them know the flatutes of God, and
his laws.
17 And Mofes father-in-law faid
unto him, The thing that thou doeft
is not good.
j n.b. 1 8 f Thou wilt furely wear away,
£fl$*r" both thou and this people that is
with thee : for this thing is too heavy
gKumb. for thee ; 6 thou art not able to per-

19 Hearken now unto my voice,
I will give thee counfel, and God (hall

to God- ward, that thou mayeft bring
the caufes unto God :
20 And thou (halt teach them ordi-
nances and laws, and (halt (hew them
the way wherein they mutt walk, and
the work that they mult do.
21 Moreover, thou lhalt provide,
* Pent, out of all the people, h able men, fuch
as fear God, men of truth, hating
covetoufnefs ; and place Jitdi over
them, to be rulers of thoufands, and
rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties,
and rulers of tens.
22 And let them judge the people
at all i'eafons: 'and it lhall be, that

23 If thou fhaltdo this thing, and ' '

24 So Mofes hearkened to the voice
of his father-in-law, and did all that
he had faid.
25 And k Mofes chofe able men out^
of all Ifrael, and made them heads , ' IS '
over the people, rulers of thoufands,
rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties,

26 And they judged the people at

brought unto Mofes; but every fiuall
matter they judged themfelves.
27 K And Moles let his father-in-

dom and understanding, to know
how to work all manner of work for
the fervice of the fanctuary, accord-

2 And Mofes called Bezaleel and
Aholiab, and every wife- hearted man,
in whofe heart the Lord had put
wifdom, even every one whofe heart
fKrred him up to come unto the work
to do it :
3 And they received of Mofes all
the offering which the children of
Ifrael had brought for the work of
the fervice of the fanctuary, to make
it withal. .And they brought yet unto
him free -offerings every morning.

which they made ;

6 And Mofes gave commandment,
and they caufed it to be proclaimed
throughout the camp, faying, Let
neither man nor woman make any
more work for the offering of the
fancluary. So the people were re-
ftrained from bringing.
