33 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said, Go, and go up from this place (Get up, and go forth from this place), thou, and thy people, that thou hast led out of the land of Egypt, into the land, which I have sworn to Abraham, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I shall give it to thy seed.

² And I shall send thy before-goer, an angel, that I cast out Canaanite, and Amorite, and Hittite, and Perizzite, and Hivite, and Jebusite; (And I shall send an angel before thee, and I shall throw out the Canaanites, and Amorites, and Hittites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites;)

³ and that thou enter into the land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up with thee, for thou art a people of hard noll, lest peradventure I lose thee in the way. (and thou shalt enter into the land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up with thee, for thou art a hard-headed, or a stubborn, people, and I might destroy thee on the way.)

⁴ The people heard this worst word, and mourned, and none was clothed with his adorning, that is, (his) precious clothes, (as) by custom.

⁵ And the Lord said to Moses, Speak thou to the sons of Israel, (and say,) Thou art a people of hard noll; (at) once I shall go up in the midst of thee, and I shall do away thee; right now put thou away thine adorning, that is, crowns which they made in(to) receiving of the law, that I know, what I shall do to thee. (For the Lord had said to Moses, Speak thou to the Israelites, and say, Thou art a hard-headed, or a stubborn, people; and at once I shall go up into the midst of thee, and I shall do thee away; so right now, put away thy adornment, that is, the crowns which they had made to wear when they received the Law, and then I shall decide what I shall do to thee.)

⁶ Therefore the sons of Israel putted away their adorning, from the hill of Horeb (onwards). (And so, the Israelites put away their adornment, from that day at Mount Sinai, and forevermore.)

⁷ And Moses took the tabernacle, and set it far without the tents, and he called the name thereof the tabernacle of [the] bond of peace. And all the people that had any question, went out to the tabernacle of the bond of peace, without the tents. (And Moses took the Tabernacle, and set it up far away from the tents, and he called it the Tabernacle of the Covenant, that is, the Tabernacle of the Witnessing. And all the people, who had any question, went out to the Tabernacle of the Covenant, which was pitched far away from the camp.)

⁸ And when Moses went out to the tabernacle, all the people rose, and each man stood in the door of his tent, and they beheld after Moses, till he entered into the tent. (And when Moses went out to the Tabernacle, all the people rose up, and they all stood at the entrance to their tents, and they watched Moses, until he entered into the Tent.)

⁹ Soothly when he entered into the tabernacle of the bond of peace, a pillar of cloud came down, and stood at the door of the tabernacle; and the Lord spake with Moses, (And when he entered into the Tabernacle of the Covenant, that is, the Tabernacle of the Witnessing, a pillar of cloud came down, and stood at the entrance to the Tabernacle; and the Lord spoke with Moses,)

¹⁰ while all men saw that the pillar of cloud stood at the door of the tabernacle; and they stood, and worshipped, at the doors of their tabernacles. (while everyone saw that the pillar of cloud stood at the entrance to the Tabernacle; and they stood, and worshipped, at the entrance to their tents.)

¹¹ Forsooth the Lord spake to Moses face to face, that is openly, as a man is wont to speak with his friend; and when Moses turned again into his tabernacle, Joshua, his servant, the son of Nun, a young man, went not out of the tabernacle (but when Moses returned to the camp, his servant Joshua, a young man, the son of Nun, remained in the Tabernacle).

¹² Forsooth Moses said to the Lord, Thou commandest, that I lead out this people, and thou hast not showed to me, whom thou shalt send with me, namely since thou saidest, I knew thee by name, and thou hast found grace before me. (And Moses said to the Lord, Thou commandest, that I lead out this people, but thou hast not shown me, whom thou shalt send with me; yet thou hast said to me, I know thee by name, and thou hast found grace before me.)

¹³ Therefore if I have found grace in thy sight, show thy face to me, that I know thee, and find grace before thine eyes; behold thy people, and this folk. (And so, if I have found grace before thee, show thy face to me, so that I can know thee, and continue to find grace before thee; and remember, Lord, that this nation is thy people.)

¹⁴ And God said, My face shall go before thee, and I shall give rest to thee.

¹⁵ And Moses said, If thou thyself shalt not go before us, lead thou not us out of this place; (And Moses said, If thou shalt not go before us, then do not thou lead us out of this place;)

¹⁶ for in what thing may we know, I and thy people, that we have found grace in thy sight, if thou shalt not go with us (unless thou shalt go with us), (and) that we be glorified (out) of all (the) peoples that dwell on [the] earth?

¹⁷ Forsooth the Lord said to Moses, I shall do also this word, that thou hast spoken; for thou hast found grace before me, and I know thyself by name. (And the Lord said to Moses, I shall do what thou hast asked; for thou hast found grace before me, and I know thee by name.)

¹⁸ And Moses said, Lord, show thou thy glory to me.

¹⁹ God answered, I shall show all (my) good(ness) to thee, and I shall call in the name of the Lord before thee, and I shall do mercy to whom I will, and I shall be merciful, either goodly, on whom it pleaseth me. (God answered, I shall show all my goodness to thee, and I shall declare the name of the Lord before thee, and I shall do mercy to whom I will, and I shall be merciful, or forgiving, to whom it pleaseth me.)

²⁰ And again God said, Thou mayest not see my face, for a man shall not see me, and live. (And then God said, But thou cannot see my face, for no one can see me, and live.)

²¹ And again God said, A place is with me, and thou shalt stand upon a stone; (And God said, Here is a place beside me, and thou shalt stand on a rock;)

²² and when my glory shall pass (by), I shall set thee in the hole of the stone, and I shall cover thee with my right hand, till that I pass (by);

²³ and (then) I shall take away mine hand, and thou shalt see mine hinder parts, forsooth thou mayest not see my face.

12 Therefore Jesus before six days of pask came to Bethany, where Lazarus had been dead [where Lazarus was dead], whom Jesus raised.

² And they made to him a supper there, and Martha ministered to him; and Lazarus was one of the men that sat at the meat with him.

³ Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of true nard precious [Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment spikenard, or true nard, precious], and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hairs; and the house was full-filled with the savour of the ointment.

⁴ Therefore Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that was to betray him, said,

⁵ Why is not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to poor men [and given to needy men]?

⁶ But he said this thing, not for it pertained to him of needy men, but for he was a thief, and had the purses, and bare those things that were sent.

⁷ Therefore Jesus said, Suffer ye her, that into the day of my burying she keep that;

⁸ for ye shall evermore have poor men with you, but ye shall not evermore have me.^[a]

⁹ Therefore much people of the Jews knew, that Jesus was there; and they came, not only for Jesus, but to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from death [whom he raised from dead].

¹⁰ But the princes of priests thought [for] to slay Lazarus,

¹¹ for many of the Jews went away for him [for many of the Jews for him went away], and believed in Jesus.

¹² But on the morrow much people, that came together to the feast day, when they had heard, that Jesus came to Jerusalem [when they had heard, for Jesus cometh to Jerusalem],

¹³ took branches of palms, and came forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is the king of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord.

¹⁴ And Jesus found a young ass, and sat on [upon] him, as it is written,

¹⁵ The daughter of Sion, do not thou dread; lo! thy king cometh, sitting on an ass's foal. [Daughter of Sion, do not thou dread; lo! thy king cometh, sitting on the colt of a she ass.]

¹⁶ His disciples knew not first these things, but when Jesus was glorified, then they had mind [then they recorded, or had mind], that these things were written of him, and these things they did to him.

¹⁷ Therefore the people bare witnessing, that was with him, when he called Lazarus from the grave, and raised him from death [from dead].

¹⁸ And therefore the people came, and met with him, for they heard that he had done this sign.

¹⁹ Therefore the Pharisees said to themselves, Ye see, that we profit nothing; lo! all the world hath gone after him [lo! all the world went after him].

²⁰ And there were some heathen men, of them that had come up to worship in the feast day.

²¹ And these came to Philip, that was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and prayed him, and said, Sire, we will see Jesus [and prayed him, saying, Sire, we would see Jesus].

²² Philip cometh, and saith to Andrew; and again Andrew and Philip said to Jesus.

²³ And Jesus answered to them, and said [saying], The hour cometh, that man's Son be clarified.

²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, but a corn of wheat fall into the earth, and be dead, it dwelleth alone; but if it be dead, it bringeth [forth] much fruit.

²⁵ He that loveth his life, shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it into everlasting life.

²⁶ If any man serve me, follow he me; and where I am, there my minister shall be [there and my minister, or servant, shall be]. If any man serve me, my Father shall honour him [my Father shall worship him].

²⁷ Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour; but therefore [but for that thing] I came into this hour;

²⁸ Father, clarify thy name. And a voice came from heaven, and said [saying], And I have clarified, and again I shall clarify.

²⁹ Therefore the people that stood, and heard, said, that thunder was made; other men said, an angel spake to him.

³⁰ Jesus answered, and said, This voice came not for me, but for you.

³¹ Now is the doom of the world, now the prince of this world shall be cast out.

³² And if I shall be enhanced from the earth, I shall draw all things to myself.

³³ And he said this thing [Soothly this thing he said], signifying by what death he was to die.

³⁴ And the people answered to him, We have heard of the law, that Christ dwelleth without end [for Christ dwelleth into without end]; and how sayest thou, It behooveth man's Son to be areared? Who is this man's Son?

³⁵ And then Jesus saith to them, Yet a little light is in you; walk ye, the while ye have light, that darkness catch you not [that darknesses catch not you]; he that wandereth in darknesses, knoweth not whither he goeth.

³⁶ While ye have light, believe ye in the light, that ye be the children of light. Jesus spake these things, and went, and hid him(self) from them.

³⁷ And when he had done so many miracles before them [Soothly when he had done so many signs, or miracles, before them], they believed not in him;

³⁸ that the word of Esaias, the prophet, should be fulfilled, which he said, Lord, who hath believed to our hearing, and to whom is the arm of the Lord showed?

³⁹ Therefore they might not believe, for again Esaias said,

⁴⁰ He hath blinded their eyes, and hath made hard the heart of them [and he hath endured, or made hard, the heart of them], that they see not with eyes, and understand [not] with heart; and that they be converted, and I heal them.

⁴¹ Esaias said these things, when he saw the glory of him, and spake of him.

⁴² Nevertheless of the princes many believed in him, but for the Pharisees they acknowledged not, that they should not be put out of the synagogue;

⁴³ for they loved the glory of men, more than the glory of God.

⁴⁴ And Jesus cried, and said, He that believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him that sent me.

⁴⁵ He that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.

⁴⁶ I light came into the world, that each that believeth in me, dwell not in darknesses.

⁴⁷ And if any man heareth my words, and keepeth them not, I deem him not [And if any man shall hear my words, and shall not keep, I deem not him]; for I came not, that I deem the world, but that I make the world safe.

⁴⁸ He that despiseth me, and taketh not my words, hath him that shall judge him; that word that I have spoken, [that] shall deem him in the last day [the word that I have spoken, that shall deem him in the last day].

⁴⁹ For I have not spoken of myself, but that Father that sent me, [he] gave to me a commandment, what I shall say, and what I shall speak.

⁵⁰ And I know, that his commandment is everlasting life; therefore those things that I speak, as the Father said to me, so I speak.

9 Wisdom builded an house to himself (Wisdom built a house for himself); he hewed out seven pillars,

² he offered his slain sacrifices, he meddled wine (he mixed in spices with the wine), and setted forth his table.

³ He sent his handmaids (He sent forth his servantesses), that they should call to the tower; and to the walls of the city.

⁴ If any man is little (in wit), come he to me. And wisdom spake to unwise men, (and said,) (And that they should say, If any one hath little intelligence, come he to me. And then wisdom spoke to the unwise, and said,)

⁵ Come ye, eat ye my bread; and drink ye the wine, which I have meddled to you (and drink ye the wine, in which I have mixed in spices for you).

⁶ Forsake ye young childhood, and live ye; and go ye by the way of prudence. (Abandon ye foolishness, and have life; and go ye on the way of understanding.)

⁷ He that teacheth a scorner, doeth wrong to himself; and he that reproveth a wicked man, engendereth a wem to himself. (He who trieth to teach a mocker, only wrongeth himself; and he who reproveth the wicked, begetteth a wound for himself.)

⁸ Do not thou reprove a scorner; lest he hate thee. Reprove thou a wise man; and he shall love thee. (Do not thou rebuke a mocker; lest he hate thee. Rebuke thou a wise person; and he shall love thee.)

⁹ Give thou occasion to a wise man; and wisdom shall be increased to him. Teach thou a just man; and he shall hasten to take it (to heart). (Give thou advice, or instruction, to a wise person; and his wisdom shall be increased. Teach thou a righteous person; and he shall hasten to take it to heart.)

¹⁰ The beginning of wisdom is the dread of the Lord; and prudence is the knowing of saints. (The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord; and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding./The beginning of wisdom is reverence for the Lord; and to know the Holy One is to have understanding.)

¹¹ For thy days shall be multiplied by me; and [the] years of (thy) life shall be increased to thee.

¹² If thou art wise, thou shalt be wise to thyself, and to thy neighbours. Forsooth if thou art a scorner, thou alone shalt bear evil. (If thou art wise, thou shalt be wise, or gain advantage, for thyself, and for thy friends as well. But if thou art a mocker, thou alone shalt bear the evil.)

¹³ A fond woman, and full of cry, and full of unleaveful lusts, and that knoweth nothing utterly, (A loud and foolish woman, full of unlawful lusts, who knoweth utterly nothing,)

¹⁴ sitteth in the doors of her house (sitteth at the door of her house), on a seat, in an high place of the city;

¹⁵ to call men passing by the way, and men going in their journey. (to call to men passing by the way, and to men going on their journey.)

¹⁶ Who is a little man in wit; bow he to me (And she saith to herself, Who is a man of little intelligence; turn he unto me). And she spake to a coward, (and said,)

¹⁷ Waters of theft be sweeter, and bread hid is sweeter. (Stolen water is sweeter, and hidden bread is sweeter.)

¹⁸ And [he] knew not that giants be there; and the guests of her be in the depths of hell. Soothly he that shall be applied, either fastened, to her, shall go down to hells. For why he that goeth away from her shall be saved. (And he knew not that death is there; and that her guests be in the depths of hell. Truly, he who shall be fastened to her, shall go down to Sheol, that is, to the land of the dead/shall go down to hell. But he who goeth away from her, shall be saved.)

2 And when ye were dead in your guilts and sins,

² in which ye wandered sometime after the course of this world, after the prince of the power of this air, of the spirit that worketh now into the sons of unbelief;

³ in which also we all lived sometime [in whom we all lived sometime] in the desires of our flesh, doing the wills of the flesh and of the thoughts, and we were by kind the sons of wrath, as other men [as and others];

⁴ but God, that is rich in mercy, for his full much charity in which he loved us,

⁵ yea, when we were dead in sins, quickened us together in Christ, by whose grace ye be saved,

⁶ and again-raised together, and made together to sit in heavenly things in Christ Jesus;

⁷ that he should show in the worlds above coming the plenteous riches of his grace in goodness on [upon] us in Christ Jesus.

⁸ For by grace ye be saved by faith, and this not of you [and that not of you]; for it is the gift of God,

⁹ not of works, that no man have glory.

¹⁰ For we be the making of him, made of nought in Christ Jesus, in good works, which God hath ordained, that we go in those works [that God made ready before, that in them we go].

¹¹ For which thing be ye mindful, that sometime ye were heathen in flesh, which were said prepuce, from that that is said circumcision made by hand in flesh [from that that is said circumcision in flesh made by hand];

¹² and ye were in that time without Christ, aliened from the living of Israel, and guests of the testaments^[a], not having hope of promise, and without God in this world.

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus ye that were sometime far, be made nigh in the blood of Christ.

¹⁴ For he is our peace, that made both one, and unbinding the middle wall of a wall without mortar,

¹⁵ enmities in his flesh; and voided the law of commandments by dooms [voiding the law of commandments by dooms], that he make two in himself into a new man, making peace,

¹⁶ to reconcile both in one body to God by the cross [that he reconcile both in one body to God by the cross], slaying the enmities in himself.

¹⁷ And he coming preached peace to you that were far, and peace to them that were nigh;

¹⁸ for by him we both have nigh coming in one Spirit to the Father.

¹⁹ Therefore now ye be not guests and strangers, but ye be citizens of saints, and [the] household members of God;

²⁰ above builded on the foundament of apostles and of prophets^[b], upon that highest corner stone, Christ Jesus;

²¹ in whom each building made waxeth into an holy temple in the Lord.

²² In whom also ye be builded together into the habitation of God, in the Holy Ghost. [In whom and ye be built together into the habitacle of God, in the Holy Ghost.]
