  • Exodus 16
    And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
    And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
    And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
    Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
    And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
    And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
    And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
    And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
    And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
    And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
    And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
    And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
    And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
    This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
    And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
    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 eating.
    And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
    Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
    And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
    And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
    And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
    And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
    And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbat

  • Mark 3
    And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.
    And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
    And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.
    And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
    And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
    And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
    But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,
    And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.
    And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
    For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
    And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
    And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.
    And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.
    And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
    And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
    And Simon he surnamed Peter;
    And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
    And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
    And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.
    And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
    And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
    And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
    And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
    And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
    And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
    And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
    No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
    Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
    But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
    Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
    There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
    And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
    And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
    And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
    For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

  • Psalms 69
    Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
    I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
    I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
    They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
    O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
    Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
    Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
    I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
    For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
    When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
    I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
    They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
    But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
    Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
    Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
    Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
    And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
    Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
    Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
    Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
    They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
    Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
    Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
    Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
    Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
    For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
    Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
    Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
    But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
    I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
    This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
    The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
    For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
    Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
    For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
    The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

  • Exodus 15
    Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
    The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
    The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
    Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
    The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
    Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
    And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
    And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
    The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
    Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
    Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
    Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
    Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
    The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
    Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
    Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
    Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which thy hands have established.
    The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
    For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
    And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
    And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
    So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
    And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
    And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
    And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
    And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
    And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.

    O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
    The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

  • Exodus 13,14
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
    And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
    This day came ye out in the month Abib.
    And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
    Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
    Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
    And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
    And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
    Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
    And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
    That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD's.
    And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
    And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
    And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
    And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.
    And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
    But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
    And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
    And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
    And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
    He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
    For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
    And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.

    And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
    And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
    And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
    And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
    When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
    But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
    Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
    And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
    Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
    But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
    I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
    And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
    And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.
    And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
    And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
    And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
    When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
    And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
    And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
    But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
    No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
    And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
    And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
    And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
    And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
    How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
    And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
    Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

  • Mark 1
    The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
    As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
    The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
    John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
    And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
    And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
    And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
    I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
    And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
    And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
    And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
    And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
    And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
    Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
    And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
    Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
    And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
    And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
    And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
    And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
    And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
    And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
    And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
    Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
    And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
    And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
    And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
    And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
    And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
    But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.
    And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
    And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
    And all the city was gathered together at the door.
    And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
    And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
    And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
    And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.

  • Exodus 11,12
    And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.
    Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver and jewels of gold.
    And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.
    And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
    And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
    And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
    But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
    And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
    And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
    And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,
    This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
    Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
    And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
    Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
    And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
    And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
    And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
    Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
    And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
    And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.
    For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
    And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
    And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
    Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul

  • Psalms 66,67
    Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
    Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
    Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
    All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
    Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
    He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
    He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
    O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
    Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
    For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
    Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
    Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
    I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
    Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
    I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
    Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
    I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
    If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
    But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
    Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
    God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.
    That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.
    Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
    O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
    Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
    Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
    God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
