¹ These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.² And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their goings out.³ And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.⁴ For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.⁵ And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.⁶ And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.⁷ And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which is before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.⁸ And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.⁹ And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there.¹⁰ And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.¹¹ And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.¹² And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.¹³ And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.¹⁴ And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.¹⁵ And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai.¹⁶ And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibrothhattaavah.¹⁷ And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.¹⁸ And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.¹⁹ And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmonparez.²⁰ And they departed from Rimmonparez, and pitched in Libnah.²¹ And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.²² And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.²³ And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.²⁴ And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.²⁵ And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.²⁶ And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.²⁷ And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.²⁸ And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.²⁹ And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.³⁰ And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.³¹ And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Benejaakan.³² And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad.³³ And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.³⁴ And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.³⁵ And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber.³⁶ And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.³⁷ And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.³⁸ And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.³⁹ And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.⁴⁰ And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.⁴¹ And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.⁴² And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.⁴³ And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.⁴⁴ And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab.⁴⁵ And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.⁴⁶ And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in Almondiblathaim.⁴⁷ And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.⁴⁸ And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.⁴⁹ And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.⁵⁰ And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,⁵¹ Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;⁵² Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:⁵³ And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.⁵⁴ And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.⁵⁵ But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.⁵⁶ Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

¹ Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.² For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.³ Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:⁴ And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.⁵ A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.⁶ For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.⁷ Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.⁸ He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.⁹ The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.¹⁰ If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.¹¹ If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;¹² If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?¹³ My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:¹⁴ So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.¹⁵ Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:¹⁶ For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.¹⁷ Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:¹⁸ Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.¹⁹ Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked:²⁰ For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.²¹ My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:²² For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?²³ These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.²⁴ He that saith unto the wicked, Thou are righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:²⁵ But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.²⁶ Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.²⁷ Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.²⁸ Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.²⁹ Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.³⁰ I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;³¹ And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.³² Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.³³ Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:³⁴ So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

¹ After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.² And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.³ And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.⁴ And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.⁵ When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?⁶ And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.⁷ Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,⁹ There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?¹⁰ And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.¹² When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.¹³ Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.¹⁴ Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.¹⁵ When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.¹⁶ And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,¹⁷ And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.¹⁸ And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.¹⁹ So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.²⁰ But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.²¹ Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.²² The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;²³ (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)²⁴ When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.²⁵ And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?²⁶ Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.²⁷ Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.²⁸ Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?²⁹ Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.³⁰ They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?³¹ Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.³² Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.³³ For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.³⁴ Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.³⁵ And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.³⁶ But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.³⁷ All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.³⁸ For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.³⁹ And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.⁴⁰ And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.⁴¹ The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.⁴² And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?⁴³ Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.⁴⁴ No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.⁴⁶ Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.⁴⁷ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.⁴⁸ I am that bread of life.⁴⁹ Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.⁵⁰ This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.⁵² The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?⁵³ Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.⁵⁴ Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.⁵⁵ For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.⁵⁷ As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.⁵⁸ This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.⁵⁹ These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.⁶⁰ Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?⁶¹ When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?⁶² What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?⁶³ It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.⁶⁴ But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.⁶⁵ And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.⁶⁶ From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.⁶⁷ Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.⁶⁹ And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?⁷¹ He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
