18 And when they did mete 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 cating. 19 And Mofes faid, Let no man leave of it till the morning. 20 Notwithitanding, they hearkened not unto Mofes; but fome of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and ftank; and Mofes 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. 22 And it came to pafs, that on the fixthday they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Mofes. 23 And he faid unto them, This is that which the LORD hath faid, To-morrow is the reft 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 flink, 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 shall not find it in the field. 26 Six days ye fhall gather it; but on the feventh day, Tohich is the fabbath, in it there thall be none. 27. And it came to pass, that there went out fome of the people on the seventh 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 sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the fixth day the bread of two days: abide ye every man in his place, let no maa go out of his place on the feventh day. 30 So the people refted on the feventh day. 31 Ana the houfe of Ifrael called the name thereof Manna; and it was like corianderseed, white; and the taste 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 unto 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 testimony, to be kept. 35 And the children of Ifrael did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited: they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan. 36 Now, an omer is the tenth part of an ephah. CHA P. XVII. The people murmur for water at Repkidim. Mofes feat to the rock in Horeb. 13 Ama Tek is overcome. A Nd all the congregation of the children of Ifrael 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 Mofes, and faid, Give us water that we may drink. And Mofes faid unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD? 3 And the people thirfted there for water; and the people murmured against Mofes, and faid, Wherefore is this that thou haft brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us, and our chil dren, and our cattle, with thirit? 4 And Mofes cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they he almoft ready to ftone me. 5 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Ifrael; and thy rod, wherewith thou fmoteft the river, take in thine hand, and go. 6 Behold, I will fland before thee there upon the rock in Floreb; and thou shalt fmite the rock, and there fhall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Mofes did to in the fight of the elders of Ifrael. 7 And he called the name of the place Maf fah, and Merihal, because of the chiding of the children of Ifrael, and becaufe they tempted the LORD, faying, Is the LORD among us or not? 81 Then came Amalek, and fought with Ifrael in Rephidin. 9 And Mofes faid unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to-morrow I will ftand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand. 10 So Joshua did as Mofes had faid to him, and fought with Amalek: and Mofes, Aaron, and Hur, went up to the top of the hill. II And it came to pafs, when Mofes held up his hand, that Ifrael prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 But Mofes hands were heavy; and they took a ftone, and put it under him, and he fat thereon and Aaron and Hur flayed up his hands, the one on the one fide, and the other on the other fide; and his hands were fteady until the going down of the fun. 13 And Joshua difcomfited Amalck and his people with the edge of the fword. 14 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, 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 Mofes built an altar, and called the name of it JEHOVAH nifh: 16 For he faid, Because the LORD hath fworn, that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. CHAP. xvii. 1 Fethro bringeth to Majes his wife and two fons: 7 Mofes entertaineth him, 13 and accepteth his chunjel. 7.Hen Jethro the priest of Midian, Mofes father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Mofes, and for Ifrael hie people, and that the Lord had brought [fracl out of Egypt; 2 Then Jethro, Mofes father-in-law, took Zipporah, Mofes wife, after he had fent her back, 3 And her two fons, of which the name of the one was Gershom; (for he faid, I have been an alien in a strange land;) 4 And the name of the other was Eliezer; (for the God of my father, faid he, was mine help, and delivered' me from the fword of Pharaoh:) 5 And Jethro, Mofes father-in-law, came with his fons and his wife unto Mofes into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God: 6. And he faid unto Mofes, I thy father-inlaw Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two fons with her. 7 And Mofes went out to meet his father in-law, and did obeifance, and kiffed him; and they asked each other of their welfare: and they came into the tent. 8 And Mofes told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh, and to the Egyptians, for Ifraels fake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and haru 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 faid, Bleffed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and ont of the land of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. II 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, Mofes father-in-law, took a burnt-offering and facrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to cat bread with Mofes father-in-law before God. 13 ¶ And it came to pafs on the morrow that Mofes fat to judge the people: and the people ftood by Motes 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 doelt to the people? why fitteft thou thyself alone, and all the people itand by thee from morning unto even? 15 And Mofes faid 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 ftatutes of God, and his laws. 17 And Mofes father-in-law faid unto him, The thing that thou doeft is not good. 18 Thou wilt furely wear away, both thou and this people that is with thec: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyfelf alone. 19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counfel, and God fhall be with thee. Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayeft bring the caufes unto God: 20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and thalt fhew them the way wherein they uft walk, and the work that they must do. 21 Moreover, thou fhalt provide out of all the people able men, fuch as fear God, men of truth, hating coretouiness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and ful tens. 22 And let them judge the people at all feafons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee; but every fmall matter they fhall judge: fo fhall it be easier for thyfelf, and they fhall bear the bur den with thee. 23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee fo, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people fhall alfo go to their place in peace. 24 So Mofes hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had faid. 25 And Moles chofe able men out of all Ifrael, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thoufands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 26 And they judged the people at all fea fons: the hard caufes they brought unto Moses, but every fmall matter they judged them felves. 27 And Mofes let his father-in-law depart; and he went his way into his own land. CHAP. XIX.

Ν IN the third month, when the children of deruefs of Sinai. 2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the defert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wildernefs; and there Ifrael camped before the mount. 3¶ And Mofes went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, faying, Thus fhalt thou fay to the houfe of Jacob, and tell the children of Ifrael; 4 Ye have feen what I did unto the Egyp tians, 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 fhall be a peculiar treafure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine. 6 And ye thall be unto me a kingdom of priefts, and an holy nation. Thefe are the words which thou thalt ipeak unto the children of Ifrael. 71 And Mofes came, and called for the elders of the people, and lad before their faces all thefe words which the LORD com manded him. 8 And all the people answered together, and faid, All that the LORD hath fpoken we will do. And Mofes returned the words of the people unto the LORD. 9 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I fpeak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Mofes told the words of the people unto the LORD. 10 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Go unto the people, and fanctify them to-day, and to-morrow, and let them wath their clothes, 11 And be ready acainit the third day; for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sirtisa 12 And thou shalt fet bounds unto the people round about, faying, Take heed to your selves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it; whofoever toucheth the mount shall be furely put to death: 13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he hall furely be toned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it fhall not live: when the trumpet foundeth long, they shall come up to the mount. 14 And Mofes went down from the mount unto the people, and fanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. 15 And he fald unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives. 16 And it came to pafs, 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 flood at the nether part of the mount. 18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a fmoke, because the LORD defcended upon it in fire; and the fmoke thereof afcended as the fmoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. 19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Mofes fpake, and God aufwered him by a voice, 20 And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Mofes up to the top of the mount; and Mofes went up. 21 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Go down, charge the people, lett they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish. za And let the priefts alfo, which come near to the LORD, fanétify themfelves, leit. the LORD break forth upon them. 23 And Mofes faid unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedit us, faying, Set bounds about the mount, and fanctify it. 24 And the LORD faid 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, left he break forth upon them. 25 So Mofes went down unto the people, and fpake unto them.
