Exodus 21-25
1599 Geneva Bible
21 Temporal and civil ordinances appointed by God touching servitude, murders, and wrongs: the observation whereof doth not justify a man, but are given to bridle our corrupt nature, which else would break out into all mischief and cruelty.
1 Now these are the laws, which thou shalt set before them:
2 (A)If thou buy an Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free for [a]nothing.
3 If he [b]came himself alone, he shall go out himself alone: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4 If his master hath given him a wife and she hath borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her [c]master’s, but he shall go out himself alone.
5 But if the servant say thus, I love my master, my wife and my children, I will not go out free,
6 Then his master shall bring him unto the [d]Judges, and set him to the [e]door, or to the post, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him [f]forever.
7 Likewise if a man [g]sell his daughter to be a servant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
8 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall [h]he cause to buy her: he shall have no power to sell her to a strange people, seeing he [i]despised her.
9 But if he hath betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her [j]according to the custom of the daughters.
10 If he take [k]him another wife, he shall not diminish her food, her raiment, and recompense of her virginity.
11 And if he do not these [l]three unto her, then shall she go out free, paying no money.
12 ¶ (B)He that smiteth a man, and he die, shall die the death.
13 And if a man hath not laid wait, but [m]God hath offered him into his hand, then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
14 But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor to slay him with guile, (C)thou shalt take him from mine [n]altar, that he may die.
15 ¶ Also he that smiteth his father or his mother, shall die the death.
16 ¶ And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, if it be found with him, shall die the death.
17 ¶ (D)And he that curseth his father or his mother, shall die the death.
18 When men also strive together, and one smite another with a [o]stone, or with the fist, and he die not but lieth in bed.
19 If he rise again and walk without upon his staff, then shall he that smote him go [p]quit, save only he shall bear his charges [q]for his resting, and shall pay for his healing.
20 ¶ And if a man smite his servant, or his maid with a rod, and he die under his hand, he shall be surely punished.
21 But if he continue a day or two days, he shall not [r]be punished: for he is his money.
22 ¶ Also if men strive and hurt a woman with child, so that her child depart from her and [s]death follow not, he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband shall appoint him, or he shall pay as the [t]Judges determine.
23 But if death follow, then thou shalt pay life for life.
24 (E)[u]Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26 ¶ And if a man smite his servant in the eye, or his maid in the eye, and hath perished it, he shall let him go free for his eye.
27 Also if he smite [v]out his servant’s tooth, or his maid’s tooth, he shall let him go out free for his tooth.
28 ¶ If an ox gore a man or a woman that he die, the (F)ox shall be [w]stoned to death, and his flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the ox shall go quite.
29 If the ox were wont to push in times past, and it hath been [x]told his master, and he hath not kept him, and after he killeth a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and his owner shall die also.
30 If there be set to him a [y]sum of money, then he shall pay the ransom of his life, whatsoever shall be laid upon him.
31 Whether he hath gored a son, or gored a daughter, he shall be judged after the same manner.
32 If the ox gore a servant or a maid, he shall give unto their master thirty [z]shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
33 ¶ And when a man shall open a well, or when he shall dig a pit and cover it not, and an ox or an ass fall therein,
34 The owner of the pit shall [aa]make it good, and give money to the owner thereof, but the dead beast shall be his.
35 ¶ And if a man’s ox hurt his neighbor’s ox that he die, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money thereof, and the dead ox also they shall divide.
36 Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in times past, and his master hath not kept him, he shall pay ox for ox, but the dead shall be his own.
22 1 Of theft. 5 Damage. 7 Lending. 14 Borrowing. 16 Enticing of maids. 18 Witchcraft. 20 Idolatry. 21 Support of strangers, widows, and fatherless. 25 Usury. 28 Reverence to Magistrates.
1 If a man steal an [ab]ox or a sheep, and kill it or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for the ox, (G)and four sheep for the sheep.
2 ¶ If a thief be found [ac]breaking up, and be smitten that he die, no blood shall be shed for him.
3 But if it be [ad]in the daylight, [ae]blood shall be shed for him: for he should make full restitution: if he had not wherewith, then should he be sold for his theft.
4 If the theft be found [af]with him alive, (whether it be ox, ass, or sheep) he shall restore the double.
5 ¶ If a man do hurt field, or vineyard, and put in his beast to feed in another man’s field, he shall recompense of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard.
6 ¶ If fire break out, and catch in the thorns, and the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field be consumed, he that kindled the fire shall make full restitution.
7 ¶ If a man deliver his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of his house, if the thief be found, he shall pay the double.
8 If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the [ag]Judges to swear, whether he hath [ah]put his hand unto his neighbor’s good, or no.
9 In all manner of trespass, whether it be for oxen, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges, and whom the Judges condemn, he shall pay the double unto the neighbor.
10 If a man deliver unto his neighbor to keep ass, or ox, or sheep, or any beast, and it die, or be [ai]hurt, or taken away by enemies, and no man see it,
11 [aj]An oath of the Lord shall be between them twain, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbor’s good, and the owner of it shall take the oath, and he shall not make it good:
12 (H)But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
13 If it be torn in pieces, he shall bring [ak]record, and shall not make that good, which is devoured.
14 ¶ And if a man borrow ought of his neighbor, and it be hurt, or else die, the owner thereof not being by, he shall surely make it good.
15 If the owner thereof be by, he shall not make it good: for if it be an hired thing, it [al]came for his hire.
16 ¶ (I)And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall endow her, and take her to his wife.
17 If her father refuse to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 ¶ Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
19 Whosoever lieth with a beast, shall die the death.
20 ¶ (J)He that offereth unto any gods, save unto the Lord only, shall be slain.
21 ¶ (K)Moreover, thou shalt not do injury to a stranger, neither oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
22 ¶ (L)Ye shall not trouble any widow, nor fatherless child.
23 If thou vex or trouble such, and so he call and cry unto me, I will surely hear his cry.
24 Then shall my wrath be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword, and your [am]wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
25 ¶ (M)If thou lend money to my people, that is, to the poor with thee, thou shalt not be as an usurer unto him: ye shall not oppress him with usury.
26 If thou take thy neighbor’s raiment to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him before the sun go down.
27 For that is his covering only, and this is his garment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? therefore when he [an]crieth unto me, I will hear him: for I am merciful.
28 ¶ (N)Thou shalt not rail upon the Judges, neither speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
29 ¶ Thine [ao]abundance and thy liquor shalt thou not keep back. (O)The firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give me.
30 Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam, and the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
31 ¶ Ye shall be an holy people unto me, (P)neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field: ye shall cast it [ap]to the dog.
23 2 Not to follow the multitude. 13 Not to make mention of the strange gods. 14 The three solemn feasts. 20, 23 The Angel is promised to lead his people. 25 What God promiseth if they obey him. 29 God will cast out the Canaanites by little and little, and why.
1 Thou shalt not [aq]receive a false tale, neither shalt thou put thine hand with the wicked, to be a [ar]false witness.
2 ¶ Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil, neither [as]agree in a controversy [at]to decline after many and overthrow the truth.
3 ¶ Thou shalt not esteem a poor man in his cause.
4 ¶ If thou meet thine enemy’s ox, or his ass going astray, thou shalt [au]bring him to him again.
5 If thou see thine enemy’s [av]ass lying under his burden, wilt thou cease to help him? thou shalt help him up again with it.
6 Thou shalt not overthrow the right of the poor in his suit.
7 Thou shalt keep thee far from a false matter, thou shalt not slay the [aw]innocent and the righteous: for I will not justify a wicked man.
8 ¶ (Q)Thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the [ax]wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
9 ¶ Thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the [ay]heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 (R)Moreover, six years thou shalt sow thy land, and gather the fruits thereof.
11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still, that the poor of thy people may eat, and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt do with thy vineyard, and with thine olive trees.
12 (S)Six days thou shalt do thy work, and in the seventh day thou shalt rest, that thine ox, and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy maid, and the stranger may be refreshed.
13 And ye shall take heed to all things that I have said unto you: and ye shall make [az]no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall it be heard out of thy mouth.
14 ¶ Three times shalt thou keep a feast unto me in the year.
15 Thou (T)shalt keep the feast of [ba]unleavened bread: thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the season of the month of Abib: for in it thou camest out of Egypt: and (U)none shall appear before me empty.
16 The [bb]feast also of the harvest of the first fruits of thy labors, which thou hast sown in the field: and the [bc]feast of gathering fruits in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labors out of the field.
17 These three times in the year shall all thy men children appear before the Lord Jehovah.
18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with [bd]leavened bread: neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
19 (V) The first of the firstfruits of thy land, thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God: yet shalt thou not seethe a kid in his [be]mother’s milk.
20 ¶ (W)Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in thy way, and to bring thee to the place which I have prepared.
21 Beware of him, and hear his voice, and provoke him not: for he will not spare your misdeeds, because my [bf]name is in him.
22 But if thou hearken unto his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee.
23 For mine Angel (X)shall go before thee, and bring thee unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and I will destroy them.
24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, neither serve them, nor do after the works of them: but (Y)[bg]utterly overthrow them, and break in pieces their images.
25 For ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy [bh]bread and thy water, and I will take all sickness away from the midst of thee.
26 ¶ (Z)There shall none cast their fruit, nor be barren in thy land, the number of thy days will I fulfill.
27 I will send my [bi]fear before thee, and will destroy all the people among whom thou shalt go: and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee:
28 And I will send (AA)hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from thy face.
29 I will not cast them out from thy face in one year, lest the land grow to a wilderness, and the beasts of the field multiply against thee.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from thy face, until thou increase, and inherit the land.
31 And I will make thy coasts from the red sea unto the sea [bj]of the Philistines, and from the [bk]desert unto the [bl]River: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and thou shalt drive them out from thy face.
32 (AB)Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods:
33 Neither shall they dwell in the land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, surely it shall be thy [bm](AC)destruction.
24 3 The people promise to obey God. 4 Moses writeth the civil Laws. 9, 13 Moses returneth into the mountain. 14 Aaron and Hur have the charge of the people. 18 Moses was forty days and forty nights in the mountain.
1 Now he had [bn]said unto Moses, Come up to the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the Elders of Israel, and ye shall worship afar off.
2 And Moses himself alone shall come near to the Lord, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him.
3 ¶ [bo]Afterward Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the [bp]Laws: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, (AD)All the things which the Lord hath said, will we do.
4 And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord and rose up early, and set up an (AE)altar [bq]under the mountain, and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 And he sent young [br]men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings of beeves, and sacrificed peace offerings unto the Lord.
6 Then Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
7 After, he took the [bs]book of the covenant, and read it in the audience of the people: who said, All that the Lord hath said, we will do, and be obedient.
8 Then Moses took the (AF)blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the [bt]blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these things.
9 ¶ Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the Elders of Israel.
10 And they [bu]saw the God of Israel, and under his feet was as it were a [bv]work of a Sapphire stone, and as the very heaven when it is clear.
11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he [bw]laid not his hand: also they saw God, and [bx]did eat and drink.
12 ¶ And the Lord [by]said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there, and I will give thee [bz]tables of stone, and the Law, and the Commandment, which I have written, for to teach [ca]them.
13 Then Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of God,
14 And said unto the Elders, Tarry us here until we come again unto you: and behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: whosoever hath any matters, let him come to them.
15 Then Moses went up to the mount, and the cloud covered the mountain,
16 And the glory of the Lord abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered [cb]it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
17 And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like [cc]consuming fire on the top of the mountain, in the eyes of the children of Israel.
18 And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up to the mountain and Moses was in the (AG)mount forty days and forty nights.
25 2 The voluntary gifts for the making of the Tabernacle. 10 The form of the Ark. 17 The Mercy seat. 23 The Table. 31 The Candlestick. 40 All must be done according to the pattern.
1 Then the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 [cd]Speak unto the children of Israel that they receive an offering for me: of (AH)every man, whose heart giveth it freely, ye shall take the offering for me.
3 And this is the offering which ye shall [ce]take of them, gold and silver, and brass,
4 And [cf]blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen and goat’s hair,
5 And ram’s skins colored red, and the skins of badgers, and the wood [cg]Shittim,
6 Oil for the light, spices for [ch]anointing oil, and for the perfume of sweet savor.
7 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the (AI)Ephod, and in the (AJ)breastplate.
8 Also they shall make me a [ci]Sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
9 According to all that I show thee, even so shall ye make the form of the Tabernacle, and the fashion of all the instruments thereof.
10 ¶ They shall make also an (AK)Ark of Shittim wood, two cubits and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and a cubit and an half high.
11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a [cj]crown of gold round about.
12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four [ck]corners thereof: that is, two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side thereof.
13 And thou shalt make bars of Shittim wood, and cover them with gold.
14 Then thou shalt put the bars in the rings by the sides of the Ark, to bear the Ark with them.
15 The bars shall be in the rings of the Ark: they shall not be taken away from it.
16 So thou shalt put in the Ark the [cl]Testimony, which I shall give thee.
17 Also thou shalt make a [cm][cn]Mercy seat of pure gold, two cubits and an half long and a cubit and an half broad.
18 And thou shalt make two Cherubims of gold: of work beaten out with the hammer shalt thou make them at the two ends of the Mercy seat.
19 And the one Cherub shalt thou make at the one end, and the other Cherub at the other end: of the matter of the Mercy seat shall ye make the Cherubims, on the two ends thereof.
20 And the Cherubims shall stretch their wings on high, covering the Mercy seat with their wings and their faces one to another: to the Mercy seatward shall the faces of the Cherubims be.
21 And thou shalt put the Mercy seat above upon the Ark, and in the Ark thou shalt put the Testimony, which I will give thee.
22 And there I will [co]declare myself unto thee, and from above the Mercy seat (AL)between the two Cherubims, which are upon the Ark of the Testimony, I will tell thee all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
23 ¶ (AM)Thou shalt also make a Table of Shittim wood, of two cubits long, and one cubit broad, and a cubit and a half high:
24 And thou shalt cover it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.
25 Thou shalt also make unto it a border of [cp]four fingers round about: and thou shalt make a golden crown round about the border thereof:
26 After, thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and shalt put the rings in the four corners that are in the four feet thereof.
27 Over against the border shall the rings be for places for bars to bear the Table.
28 And thou shalt make the bars of Shittim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold, that the Table may be borne with them.
29 Thou shalt make also [cq]dishes for it, and incense cups for it, and coverings for it, and goblets, wherewith it shall be covered, even of fine gold shalt thou make them.
30 And thou shalt set upon the Table Showbread before me continually.
31 ¶ (AN)Also thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of [cr]work beaten out with the hammer shall the Candlestick be made, his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops: and his flowers shall be of the same.
32 Six branches also shall come out of the sides of it: three branches of the candlestick out of the one side of it, and three branches of the Candlestick out of the other side of it.
33 Three bowls like unto almonds, one knop and one flower in one branch: and three bowls like almonds in the other branch, one knop and one flower: so throughout the six branches that come out of the Candlestick.
34 And in the shaft of the Candlestick shall be four bowls like unto almonds, his knops and his flowers.
35 And there shall be a knop under two branches made thereof: and a knop under two branches made thereof: and a knop under two branches made thereof, according to the six branches coming out of the Candlestick.
36 Their knops and their branches shall be thereof: all this shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
37 And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and the lamps thereof shalt thou put thereon, to give light toward that that is before it.
38 Also the snuffers and snuffdishes thereof shall be of pure gold.
39 Of a [cs]talent of fine gold shalt thou make it with all these instruments.
40 (AO)Look therefore that thou make them after their fashion, that was showed thee in the mountain.
