23 By faith [4102] Moses [3475], when he was born [1080], was hid [2928] three months [5150] of [5259] his [846] parents [3962], because [1360] they saw [1492] he was a proper [791] child [3813]; and [2532] they were [5399] not [3756] afraid [5399] of the king's [935] commandment [1297].
15 And the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] spake [0559] to the Hebrew [05680] midwives [03205], of which the name [08034] of the one [0259] was Shiphrah [08236], and the name [08034] of the other [08145] Puah [06326]:
6 But [1161] Christ [5547] as [5613] a son [5207] over [1909] his own [846] house [3624]; whose [3739] house [3624] are [2070] we [2249], if [1437] [4007] we hold fast [2722] the confidence [3954] and [2532] the rejoicing [2745] of the hope [1680] firm [949] unto [3360] the end [5056].
5 And [2532] Moses [3475] verily [3303] was faithful [4103] in [1722] all [3650] his [846] house [3624], as [5613] a servant [2324], for [1519] a testimony [3142] of those things which were to be spoken after [2980];
10 For [1063] it became [4241] him [846], for [1223] whom [3739] are all things [3956], and [2532] by [1223] whom [3739] are all things [3956], in bringing [71] many [4183] sons [5207] unto [1519] glory [1391], to make [5048] the captain [747] of their [846] salvation [4991] perfect [5048] through [1223] sufferings [3804].
4 Behold, I have given [05414] him for a witness [05707] to the people [03816], a leader [05057] and commander [06680] to the people [03816].
5 And he was king [04428] in Jeshurun [03484], when the heads [07218] of the people [05971] and the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] were gathered [0622] together [03162].
4 Moses [04872] commanded [06680] us a law [08451], even the inheritance [04181] of the congregation [06952] of Jacob [03290].
25 Wherefore [3606] he is able [1410] also [2532] to save them [4982] to [1519] the uttermost [3838] that come [4334] unto God [2316] by [1223] him [846], seeing he ever [3842] liveth [2198] to [1519] make intercession [1793] for [5228] them [846].
1 And all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] journeyed [05265] from the wilderness [04057] of Sin [05512], after their journeys [04550], according to the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068], and pitched [02583] in Rephidim [07508]: and there was no water [04325] for the people [05971] to drink [08354].
2 Wherefore the people [05971] did chide [07378] with Moses [04872], and said [0559], Give [05414] us water [04325] that we may drink [08354]. And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto them, Why chide [07378] ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt [05254] the LORD [03068]?
3 And the people [05971] thirsted [06770] there for water [04325]; and the people [05971] murmured [03885] against Moses [04872], and said [0559], Wherefore is this that thou hast brought [05927] us up out of Egypt [04714], to kill [04191] us and our children [01121] and our cattle [04735] with thirst [06772]?
4 And Moses [04872] cried [06817] unto the LORD [03068], saying [0559], What shall I do [06213] unto this people [05971]? they be almost [04592] ready to stone [05619] me.
5 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Go on [05674] before [06440] the people [05971], and take [03947] with thee of the elders [02205] of Israel [03478]; and thy rod [04294], wherewith thou smotest [05221] the river [02975], take [03947] in thine hand [03027], and go [01980].
6 Behold, I will stand [05975] before [06440] thee there upon the rock [06697] in Horeb [02722]; and thou shalt smite [05221] the rock [06697], and there shall come [03318] water [04325] out of it, that the people [05971] may drink [08354]. And Moses [04872] did [06213] so in the sight [05869] of the elders [02205] of Israel [03478].
2 And [2532] he [846] is [2076] the propitiation [2434] for [4012] our [2257] sins [266]: and [1161] not [3756] for [4012] ours [2251] only [3440], but [235] also [2532] for [4012] the sins of the whole [3650] world [2889].
1 My [3450] little children [5040], these things [5023] write I [1125] unto you [5213], that [3363] ye sin [264] not [3363]. And [2532] if [1437] any man [5100] sin [264], we have [2192] an advocate [3875] with [4314] the Father [3962], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] the righteous [1342]:
31 And Moses [04872] returned [07725] unto the LORD [03068], and said [0559], Oh [0577], this people [05971] have sinned [02398] a great [01419] sin [02401], and have made [06213] them gods [0430] of gold [02091].
32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive [05375] their sin [02403]--; and if not, blot [04229] me, I pray thee, out of thy book [05612] which thou hast written [03789].
33 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Whosoever [0834] hath sinned [02398] against me, him will I blot out [04229] of my book [05612].
34 Therefore now go [03212], lead [05148] the people [05971] unto the place of which I have spoken [01696] unto thee: behold, mine Angel [04397] shall go [03212] before [06440] thee: nevertheless in the day [03117] when I visit [06485] I will visit [06485] their sin [02403] upon them.
35 And the LORD [03068] plagued [05062] the people [05971], because [0834] they made [06213] the calf [05695], which [0834] Aaron [0175] made [06213].
23 And [1161] it shall come to pass [2071], that every [3956] soul [5590], which [3748] [302] will [191] not [3361] hear [191] that [1565] prophet [4396], shall be destroyed [1842] from among [1537] the people [2992].
22 For [1063] Moses [3475] truly [3303] said [2036] unto [4314] the fathers [3962], [3754] A prophet [4396] shall [450] the Lord [2962] your [5216] God [2316] raise up [450] unto you [5213] of [1537] your [5216] brethren [80], like [5613] unto me [1691]; him [846] shall ye hear [191] in [2596] all things [3956] whatsoever [3745] [302] he shall say [2980] unto [4314] you [5209].
14 Simeon [4826] hath declared [1834] how [2531] God [2316] at the first [4412] did visit [1980] the Gentiles [1484], to take [2983] out of [1537] them a people [2992] for [1909] his [846] name [3686].
15 And [2532] to this [5129] agree [4856] the words [3056] of the prophets [4396]; as [2531] it is written [1125],
16 After [3326] this [5023] I will return [390], and [2532] will build again [456] the tabernacle [4633] of David [1138], which [3588] is fallen down [4098]; and [2532] I will build again [456] the ruins [2679] thereof [846], and [2532] I will set [461] it [846] up [461]:
17 That [3704] [302] the residue [2645] of men [444] might seek after [1567] the Lord [2962], and [2532] all [3956] the Gentiles [1484], upon [1909] whom [3739] my [3450] name [3686] is called [1941] [1909] [846], saith [3004] the Lord [2962], who [3588] doeth [4160] all [3956] these things [5023].
14 If by any means [1513] [4458] I may provoke to emulation [3863] them which are my [3450] flesh [4561], and [2532] might save [4982] some [5100] of [1537] them [846].
15 For [1063] if [1487] the casting away [580] of them [846] be the reconciling [2643] of the world [2889], what [5101] shall the receiving [4356] of them be, but [1508] life [2222] from [1537] the dead [3498]?
16 For [1161] if [1487] the firstfruit [536] be holy [40], the lump [5445] is also [2532] holy: and [2532] if [1487] the root [4491] be holy [40], so [2532] are the branches [2798].
17 And [1161] if some [1536] of the branches [2798] be broken off [1575], and [1161] thou [4771], being [5607] a wild olive tree [65], wert graffed in [1461] among [1722] them [846], and [2532] with [4791] them [1096] partakest [4791] of the root [4491] and [2532] fatness [4096] of the olive tree [1636];
18 Boast [2620] not [3361] against [2620] the branches [2798]. But [1161] if [1487] thou boast [2620], thou [4771] bearest [941] not [3756] the root [4491], but [235] the root [4491] thee [4571].
19 Thou wilt say [2046] then [3767], The branches [2798] were broken off [1575], that [2443] I [1473] might be graffed in [1461].
20 Well [2573]; because of unbelief [570] they were broken off [1575], and [1161] thou [4771] standest [2476] by faith [4102]. Be [5309] not [3361] highminded [5309], but [235] fear [5399]:
21 For [1063] if [1487] God [2316] spared [5339] not [3756] the natural [5449] branches [2798] [2596], take heed lest [4458] [3381] he [5339] also [3381] spare [5339] not [3761] thee [4675].
22 Behold [1492] therefore [3767] the goodness [5544] and [2532] severity [663] of God [2316]: on [1909] them which fell [4098] [3303], severity [663]; but [1161] toward [1909] thee [4571], goodness [5544], if [1437] thou continue [1961] in his goodness [5544]: otherwise [1893] thou [4771] also [2532] shalt be cut off [1581].
23 And [1161] they [1565] also [2532], if [3362] they abide [1961] not [3362] still in unbelief [570], shall be graffed in [1461]: for [1063] God [2316] is [2076] able [1415] to graff [1461] them [846] in [1461] again [3825].
24 For [1063] if [1487] thou [4771] wert cut [1581] out of [1537] the olive tree which is wild [65] by [2596] nature [5449], and [2532] wert graffed [1461] contrary to [3844] nature [5449] into [1519] a good olive tree [2565]: how much [4214] more [3123] shall these [3778], which be the natural [2596] [5449] branches, be graffed into [1461] their own [2398] olive tree [1636]?
25 For [1063] I would [2309] not [3756], brethren [80], that ye [5209] should be ignorant [50] of this [5124] mystery [3466], lest [3363] ye should be [5600] wise [5429] in [3844] your own conceits [1438]; that [3754] blindness [4457] in [575] part [3313] is happened [1096] to Israel [2474], until [891] [3739] the fulness [4138] of the Gentiles [1484] be come in [1525].
26 And [2532] so [3779] all [3956] Israel [2474] shall be saved [4982]: as [2531] it is written [1125], There shall come [2240] out of [1537] Sion [4622] the Deliverer [4506], and [2532] shall turn away [654] ungodliness [763] from [575] Jacob [2384]:
29 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] went [03212] and gathered together [0622] all the elders [02205] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]:
30 And Aaron [0175] spake [01696] all the words [01697] which the LORD [03068] had spoken [01696] unto Moses [04872], and did [06213] the signs [0226] in the sight [05869] of the people [05971].
31 And the people [05971] believed [0539]: and when they heard [08085] that the LORD [03068] had visited [06485] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and that he had looked [07200] upon their affliction [06040], then they bowed their heads [06915] and worshipped [07812].
30 For [3754] we are [2070] members [3196] of his [846] body [4983], of [1537] his [846] flesh [4561], and [2532] of [1537] his [846] bones [3747].
31 For [473] this cause [5127] shall [2641] a man [444] leave [2641] his [846] father [3962] and [2532] mother [3384], and [2532] shall be joined [4347] unto [4314] his [846] wife [1135], and [2532] they two [1417] shall be [2071] one [1519] [3391] flesh [4561].
32 This [5124] is [2076] a great [3173] mystery [3466]: but [1161] I [1473] speak [3004] concerning [1519] Christ [5547] and [1519] [2532] the church [1577].
2 For [1063] I am jealous [2206] over you [5209] with godly [2316] jealousy [2205]: for [1063] I have espoused [718] you [5209] to one [1520] husband [435], that I may present [3936] you as a chaste [53] virgin [3933] to Christ [5547].
14 Then [1161] the Pharisees [5330] went out [1831], and held [2983] a council [4824] against [2596] him [846], how [3704] they might destroy [622] him [846].
15 But [1161] when Jesus [2424] knew [1097] it, he withdrew himself [402] from thence [1564]: and [2532] great [4183] multitudes [3793] followed [190] him [846], and [2532] he healed [2323] them [846] all [3956];
16 And [2532] charged [2008] them [846] that [3363] they should [4160] not [3363] make [4160] him [846] known [5318]:
17 That [3704] it might be fulfilled [4137] which [3588] was spoken [4483] by [1223] Esaias [2268] the prophet [4396], saying [3004],
18 Behold [2400] my [3450] servant [3816], whom [3739] I have chosen [140]; my [3450] beloved [27], in [1519] whom [3739] my [3450] soul [5590] is well pleased [2106]: I will put [5087] my [3450] spirit [4151] upon [1909] him [846], and [2532] he shall shew [518] judgment [2920] to the Gentiles [1484].
19 He shall [2051] not [3756] strive [2051], nor [3761] cry [2905]; neither [3761] shall any man [5100] hear [191] his [846] voice [5456] in [1722] the streets [4113].
20 A bruised [4937] reed [2563] shall he [2608] not [3756] break [2608], and [2532] smoking [5188] flax [3043] shall he [4570] not [3756] quench [4570], till [2193] [302] he send forth [1544] judgment [2920] unto [1519] victory [3534].
21 And [2532] in [1722] his [846] name [3686] shall [1679] the Gentiles [1484] trust [1679].
16 Now the priest [03548] of Midian [04080] had seven [07651] daughters [01323]: and they came [0935] and drew [01802] water, and filled [04390] the troughs [07298] to water [08248] their father's [01] flock [06629].
17 And the shepherds [07462] came [0935] and drove them away [01644]: but Moses [04872] stood up [06965] and helped [03467] them, and watered [08248] their flock [06629].
18 And when they came [0935] to Reuel [07467] their father [01], he said [0559], How [04069] is it that ye are come [0935] so soon [04116] to day [03117]?
19 And they said [0559], An Egyptian [04713] [0376] delivered [05337] us out of the hand [03027] of the shepherds [07462], and also drew [01802] water enough [01802] for us, and watered [08248] the flock [06629].
20 And he said [0559] unto his daughters [01323], And where is he? why is it that ye have left [05800] the man [0376]? call [07121] him, that he may eat [0398] bread [03899].
21 And Moses [04872] was content [02974] to dwell [03427] with the man [0376]: and he gave [05414] Moses [04872] Zipporah [06855] his daughter [01323].
17 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that after [3326] three [5140] days [2250] Paul [3972] called [4779] the chief [4413] [5607] of the Jews [2453] together [4779]: and [1161] when they [846] were come together [4905], he said [3004] unto [4314] them [846], Men [435] and brethren [80], though I [1473] have committed [4160] nothing [3762] against [1727] the people [2992], or [2228] customs [1485] of our fathers [3971], yet was I delivered [3860] prisoner [1198] from [1537] Jerusalem [2414] into [1519] the hands [5495] of the Romans [4514].
18 Who [3748], when they had examined [350] me [3165], would [1014] have let me go [630], because [1223] there was [5225] no [3367] cause [156] of death [2288] in [1722] me [1698].
19 But [1161] when the Jews [2453] spake against [483] it, I was constrained [315] to appeal [1941] unto Caesar [2541]; not [3756] that [5613] I had [2192] ought [5100] to accuse [2723] my [3450] nation [1484] of [2723].
20 For [1223] this [5026] cause [156] therefore [3767] have I called [3870] for you [5209], to see [1492] you, and [2532] to speak with [4354] you: because that [1752] for [1063] the hope [1680] of Israel [2474] I am bound with [4029] this [5026] chain [254].
21 And [1161] they said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], We [2249] neither [3777] received [1209] letters [1121] out of [575] Judaea [2449] concerning [4012] thee [4675], neither [3777] any [5100] of the brethren [80] that came [3854] shewed [518] or [2228] spake [2980] any [5100] harm [4190] of [4012] thee [4675].
22 But [1161] we desire [515] to hear [191] of [3844] thee [4675] what [3739] thou thinkest [5426]: for [1063] as concerning [4012] [3303] this [5026] sect [139], we [2254] know [2076] [1110] that [3754] every where [3837] it is spoken against [483].
23 And [1161] when they had appointed [5021] him [846] a day [2250], there came [2240] many [4119] to [4314] him [846] into [1519] his lodging [3578]; to whom [3739] he expounded [1620] and testified [1263] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], [5037] persuading [3982] them [846] concerning [4012] Jesus [2424], both [5037] out of [575] the law [3551] of Moses [3475], and [2532] out of the prophets [4396], from [575] morning [4404] till [2193] evening [2073].
24 And [2532] some [3303] believed [3982] the things which were spoken [3004], and [1161] some believed not [569].
25 And [1161] when they agreed not [800] [5607] among [4314] themselves [240], they departed [630], after that Paul [3972] had spoken [2036] one [1520] word [4487], [3754] Well [2573] spake [2980] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] by [1223] Esaias [2268] the prophet [4396] unto [4314] our [2257] fathers [3962],
26 Saying [3004], Go [4198] unto [4314] this [5126] people [2992], and [2532] say [2036], Hearing [189] ye shall hear [191], and [2532] shall [4920] not [3364] understand [4920]; and [2532] seeing [991] ye shall see [991], and [2532] not [3364] perceive [1492]:
27 For [1063] the heart [2588] of this [5127] people [2992] is waxed gross [3975], and [2532] their ears [3775] are dull [917] of hearing [191], and [2532] their [846] eyes [3788] have they closed [2576]; lest [3379] they should see [1492] with their eyes [3788], and [2532] hear [191] with their ears [3775], and [2532] understand [4920] with their heart [2588], and [2532] should be converted [1994], and [2532] I should heal [2390] them [846].
28 Be it [2077] known [1110] therefore [3767] unto you [5213], that [3754] the salvation [4992] of God [2316] is sent [649] unto the Gentiles [1484], and [2532] that they will hear [191] it [846].
5 And [1161] when [5613] [5037] Silas [4609] and [2532] Timotheus [5095] were come [2718] from [575] Macedonia [3109], Paul [3972] was pressed [4912] in the spirit [4151], and testified [1263] to the Jews [2453] that Jesus [2424] was Christ [5547].
6 And [1161] when they opposed [498] themselves [846], and [2532] blasphemed [987], he shook [1621] his raiment [2440], and said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Your [5216] blood [129] be upon [1909] your [5216] own heads [2776]; I [1473] am clean [2513]: from [575] henceforth [3568] I will go [4198] unto [1519] the Gentiles [1484].
25 For [1161] he supposed [3543] his [846] brethren [80] would have understood [4920] how [3754] that God [2316] by [1223] his [846] hand [5495] would deliver [1325] [4991] them [846]: but [1161] they understood [4920] not [3756].
11 And it came to pass in those days [03117], when Moses [04872] was grown [01431], that he went out [03318] unto his brethren [0251], and looked [07200] on their burdens [05450]: and he spied [07200] an Egyptian [04713] [0376] smiting [05221] an Hebrew [05680], one of his brethren [0251].
12 And he looked [06437] this way [03541] and that way [03541], and when he saw [07200] that there was no man [0376], he slew [05221] the Egyptian [04713], and hid [02934] him in the sand [02344].
13 And when he went out [03318] the second [08145] day [03117], behold, two [08147] men [0582] of the Hebrews [05680] strove [05327] together: and he said [0559] to him that did the wrong [07563], Wherefore smitest [05221] thou thy fellow [07453]?
14 And he said [0559], Who made [07760] thee [0376] a prince [08269] and a judge [08199] over us? intendest [0559] thou to kill [02026] me, as thou killedst [02026] the Egyptian [04713]? And Moses [04872] feared [03372], and said [0559], Surely [0403] this thing [01697] is known [03045].
15 Now when Pharaoh [06547] heard [08085] this thing [01697], he sought [01245] to slay [02026] Moses [04872]. But Moses [04872] fled [01272] from the face [06440] of Pharaoh [06547], and dwelt [03427] in the land [0776] of Midian [04080]: and he sat down [03427] by a well [0875].
16 For [1063] God [2316] so [3779] loved [25] the world [2889], that [5620] he gave [1325] his [846] only begotten [3439] Son [5207], that [2443] whosoever [3956] believeth [4100] in [1519] him [846] should [622] not [3361] perish [622], but [235] have [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222].
25 For [1161] he supposed [3543] his [846] brethren [80] would have understood [4920] how [3754] that God [2316] by [1223] his [846] hand [5495] would deliver [1325] [4991] them [846]: but [1161] they understood [4920] not [3756].
7 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], I have surely [07200] seen [07200] the affliction [06040] of my people [05971] which are in Egypt [04714], and have heard [08085] their cry [06818] by reason [06440] of their taskmasters [05065]; for I know [03045] their sorrows [04341];
8 And I am come down [03381] to deliver [05337] them out of the hand [03027] of the Egyptians [04714], and to bring [05927] them up out of that land [0776] unto a good [02896] land [0776] and a large [07342], unto a land [0776] flowing [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]; unto the place [04725] of the Canaanites [03669], and the Hittites [02850], and the Amorites [0567], and the Perizzites [06522], and the Hivites [02340], and the Jebusites [02983].
9 Now therefore, behold, the cry [06818] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] is come [0935] unto me: and I have also seen [07200] the oppression [03906] wherewith the Egyptians [04714] oppress [03905] them.
10 Come [03212] now therefore, and I will send [07971] thee unto Pharaoh [06547], that thou mayest bring forth [03318] my people [05971] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of Egypt [04714].
10 And [2532] to wait for [362] his [846] Son [5207] from [1537] heaven [3772], whom [3739] he raised [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498], even Jesus [2424], which [3588] delivered [4506] us [2248] from [575] the wrath [3709] to come [2064].
10 Who [3739] delivered [4506] us [2248] from [1537] so great [5082] a death [2288], and [2532] doth deliver [4506]: in [1519] whom [3739] we trust [1679] that [3754] he will [4506] [2532] yet [2089] deliver [4506] us;
18 The Spirit [4151] of the Lord [2962] is upon [1909] me [1691], because [1752] he hath anointed [5548] me [3165] to preach the gospel [2097] to the poor [4434]; he hath sent [649] me [3165] to heal [2390] the brokenhearted [4937] [2588], to preach [2784] deliverance [859] to the captives [164], and [2532] recovering of sight [309] to the blind [5185], to set [649] at [1722] liberty [859] them that are bruised [2352],
1 The Spirit [07307] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] is upon me; because the LORD [03068] hath anointed [04886] me to preach good tidings [01319] unto the meek [06035]; he hath sent [07971] me to bind up [02280] the brokenhearted [07665] [03820], to proclaim [07121] liberty [01865] to the captives [07617], and the opening of the prison [06495] to them that are bound [0631];
23 By faith [4102] Moses [3475], when he was born [1080], was hid [2928] three months [5150] of [5259] his [846] parents [3962], because [1360] they saw [1492] he was a proper [791] child [3813]; and [2532] they were [5399] not [3756] afraid [5399] of the king's [935] commandment [1297].
59 And the name [08034] of Amram's [06019] wife [0802] was Jochebed [03115], the daughter [01323] of Levi [03878], whom her mother bare [03205] to Levi [03878] in Egypt [04714]: and she bare [03205] unto Amram [06019] Aaron [0175] and Moses [04872], and Miriam [04813] their sister [0269].
4 And his sister [0269] stood [03320] afar off [07350], to wit [03045] what would be done [06213] to him.
7 And Moses [04872] was fourscore [08084] years [08141] old [01121], and Aaron [0175] fourscore [08084] and three [07969] years [08141] old [01121], when they spake [01696] unto Pharaoh [06547].
