Then they came to Marah,<n id="1" /> but they were not able to drink<n id="2" /> the waters of Marah, because<n id="3" /> they were bitter.<n id="4" /> (That is<n id="5" /> why its name was<n id="6" /> Marah.)p>

You must also do this for your oxen and for your sheep; seven days they may remain with their mothers, but give them to me on the eighth day.p>

But in the seventh year<n id="1" /> you must let it lie fallow and leave it alone so that the poor of your people may eat, and what they leave any animal in the field<n id="2" /> may eat; you must do likewise with your vineyard and your olive grove.

According to all that I am showing you<n id="1" /> &#8211; the pattern of the tabernacle<n id="2" /> and the pattern of all its furnishings &#8211; you<n id="3" /> must make it exactly so.<n id="4" />p>

You are to make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and in the same way you are to make loops<n id="1" /> in the outer edge of the end curtain in the second set.

with two projections<n id="1" /> per frame parallel one to another.<n id="2" /> You are to make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

At the two corners<n id="1" /> they must be doubled at the lower end and finished together at the top in one ring. So it will be for both.

Likewise<n id="1" /> for its length on the north side, there are to be<n id="2" /> hangings for one hundred fifty feet, with twenty posts and their twenty bronze bases, with silver hooks and bands<n id="3" /> on the posts.

After this all the Israelites approached, and he commanded them all that the <sc>Lordsc> had spoken to him on Mount Sinai.

He made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in the first set; he did the same along the edge of the end curtain in the second set.

with<n id="1" /> two projections per frame parallel one to another.<n id="2" /> He made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

At the two corners<n id="1" /> they were doubled at the lower end and<n id="2" /> finished together at the top in one ring. So he did for both.

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">So all the work of the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was completed, and the Israelites did according to all that the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded Moses &#8211; they did it exactly so.

<p class="bodytext">The Israelites did all the work according to all that the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded Moses.

Moses inspected<n id="1" /> all the work &#8211; and<n id="2" /> they had done it just as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded &#8211; they had done it exactly &#8211; and Moses blessed them.<n id="3" />p>

But you must require<n id="1" /> of them the same quota of bricks that they were making before.<n id="2" /> Do not reduce it, for they are slackers.<n id="3" /> That is why they are crying, &#8216;Let us go sacrifice to our God.&#8217;

Therefore, tell the Israelites, &#8216;I am the <sc>Lordsc>. I will bring you out<n id="1" /> from your enslavement to<n id="2" /> the Egyptians, I will rescue you from the hard labor they impose,<n id="3" /> and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.

When<n id="1" /> Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh, they did so, just as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded them &#8211; Aaron threw<n id="2" /> down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants and it became a snake.<n id="3" />

Moses and Aaron did so,<n id="1" /> just as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded. Moses raised<n id="2" /> the staff<n id="3" /> and struck the water that was in the Nile right before the eyes<n id="4" /> of Pharaoh and his servants,<n id="5" /> and all the water that was in the Nile was turned to blood.<n id="6" />

They did so; Aaron extended his hand with his staff, he struck the dust of the ground, and it became gnats on people<n id="1" /> and on animals. All the dust of the ground became gnats throughout all the land of Egypt.
