33 And Mofes faid unto Aaron, Take a Pot, and put an Omer full of MANNA therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your Generations.

34 As the LORD commanded Mofes, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

35 And the Children of Ifrael did eat MANNA FORTY Years, until they came to a Land inhabited: they did eat Manna, until they came unto the Borders of the Land of Canaan.

• The People murmur for Water at Rephidim. 5 Moses sent to the Rock in Horeb. 8 Amalek is overcome.

ND all the Congregation of the Children of Ifrael journeyed from the Wilderness of Sin, after their Journeys, according to the Commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no WATER for the People to drink.

2 Wherefore the People did chide with Mofes, and faid, Give us Water that we may drink. And Mofes faid unto them, Why chide you with me? Wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?

3 And the People thirsted there for Water; and the People† MURMURED against Mofes, and faid, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our Children, and our Cattle with Thirit?

4 And Mofes cried unto the LORD, faying, What shall I do unto this People? they be almost ready to stone me.

5 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Go on before the People, and take with thee of the Elders of Ifrael: and thy ROD wherewith thou finoteft the River, take in thine Hand, and go.

7 And he called the Name of the Place Maflah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the Children of Ifrael, and because they TEMPTED the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not ?

8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Ifrael in Rephidim.

9 And Mofes faid unto Joshua, Chuse us out Men, and go out, fight with Amalek: To-morrow I will stand on the Top of the Hill, with the ROD OF GOD in mine Hand.

10 So Joshua did as MoSES had faid to him, and fought with Amalek: and Mofes, Aaron, and Hur, went up to the Top of the Hill.

And it came to pass when Mofes held up his Hand, that Ifrael prevailed: and when he let down his Hand, Amalek prevailed.

12 But MOSES's Hands were heavy, and they took a Stone and put it under him, and he fat thereon: and Aaron and Hur stayed up his Hands, the one on the one Side, and the other on the other Side; and his Hands were steady until the going down of the Sun.

13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his People with the Edge of the Sword.

14 And the LORD said unto Mofes, Write this for a Memorial in a Book, and rehearse it in the Ears of Joshua : for I will utterly put out the Remembrance of Amalek from under Heaven.

N the third Month, when the Children of Ifrael were gone forth out of the Land of Egypt, the

fame Day came they into the Wilderness of Sinai.

2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the Defart of Sinai, and had pitched in the Wilderness, and there Ifrael camped before the Mount.

3 And Mofes went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the Mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say unto the House of Jacob, and tell the Children of Ifrael;

3 And every Man that hath this Hope in him, PURIFIETH himself, even as he is pure

14 In whom we have REDEMPTION through his BLOOD, even the FORGIVENESS OF SINS.

6 And ye shall be unto me a Kingdom of PRIESTS, and an HOLY NATION. These are the Words which thou shalt speak unto the Children of Ifrael.

7 And MOSES came and called for the Elders of the People, and laid before their Faces all these Words which the LORD Commanded him.

8 And all the People answered together, and faid, All that the LORD hath spoken, we will do. And Mofes returned the Words of the People unto the LORD.

6 And hath made us KINGS and PRIESTS unto God and his FATHER; to him be GLORY and DOMINION for ever and ever.

9 And the LORD faid unto MOSES, LO, I come unto thee in a thick Cloud, that the People may hear when I speak with thee, and BELIEVE thee for ever. And MOSES told the Words of the People unto the LORD.

10 And the LORD said unto MOSES, Go unto the People, and SANCTIFY them To-day and To-morrow, and let them wash their Cloaths,

11 And be ready against the third Day: for the third Day the LORD will come down in the Sight of all the People upon Mount Sinai.

12 And thou shalt set Bounds unto the People round about, faying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the Mount, or touch the Border of it: whosoever TOUCHETH the Mount, shall be surely put to DEATH.

13 There shall not an Hand touch it, but he shall furely be stoned or shot through; whether it be Beast or Man, it shall not LIVE: when the TRUMPET foundeth long, they shall come up to the Mount.

14 And MOSES went down from the Mount unto the People, and SANCTIFIED the People, and they washed their Cloaths.

15 And he faid unto the People, Be ready against the third Day: come not at your Wives.

16 And it came to pass on the third Day in the Morning, that there were THUNDERS and LIGHTNINGS, and a thick CLOUD upon the MOUNT, and the VOICE of the Trumpet EXCEEDING LOUD; so that all the People that was in the Camp TREMBLED.

17 And Mofes brought forth the People out of the Camp to meet with God, and they stood at the nether Part of the Mount.
