Bible Reading for February 02

Exodus 18
[1] When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law, heard of all that
God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the LORD had
brought Israel out of Egypt;
[2] Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had
sent her back,
[3] And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I
have been an alien in a strange land: [4] And the name of the other was
Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me
from the sword of Pharaoh: [5] And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his
sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the
mount of God: [6] And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come
unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her. [7] And Moses went out to
meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each
other of their welfare; and they came into the tent.
[8] And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh
and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had come upon
them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them. [9] And Jethro rejoiced for
all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out
of the hand of the Egyptians. [10] And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who
hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of
Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
[11] Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing
wherein they dealt proudly he was above them. [12] And Jethro, Moses' father in
law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the
elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father in law before God.
[13] And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and
the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening. [14] And when
Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this
thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all
the people stand by thee from morning unto even? [15] And Moses said unto his
father in law, Because the people come unto me to inquire of God:
[16] When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and
another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws. [17] And
Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
[18] Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee:
for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself
alone.
[19] Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with
thee: Be thou for the people to Godward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto
God:
[20] And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way
wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do. [21] Moreover thou
shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth,
hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and
rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
[22] And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every
great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall
judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with
thee.
[23] If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be
able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.
[24] So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he
had said.
[25] And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the
people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers
of tens.
[26] And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought
unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves. [27] And Moses let
his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.

Exodus 19
[1] In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the
land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. [2] For
they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had
pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
[3] And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the
mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the
children of Israel;
[4] Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles'
wings, and brought you unto myself. [5] Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice
indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me
above all people: for all the earth is mine:
[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 Israel. [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 said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses
returned the words of the people unto the LORD. [9] And the LORD said 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 clothes, [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, saying, 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
surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not
live: when the trumpet soundeth 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 clothes. [15] And he said 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 Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and
they stood at the nether part of the mount. [18] And mount Sinai was altogether
on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof
ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. [19]
And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder,
Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. [20] And the LORD came down upon
mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top
of the mount; and Moses went up. [21] And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down,
charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of
them perish. [22] And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD,
sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them. [23] And Moses said
unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us,
saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it. [24] And the LORD said
unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with
thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the
LORD, lest he break forth upon them. [25] So Moses went down unto the people,
and spake unto them.

Exodus 20
[1] And God spake all these words, saying, [2] I am the LORD thy God, which
have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
[3] Thou shalt have no other gods before me. [4] Thou shalt not make unto thee
any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that
is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
[5] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy
God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; [6] And shewing
mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
[7] Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will
not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. [8] Remember the sabbath
day, to keep it holy. [9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: [10]
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do
any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy
maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
[11] For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in
them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath
day, and hallowed it.
[12] Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land
which the LORD thy God giveth thee. [13] Thou shalt not kill.
[14] Thou shalt not commit adultery. [15] Thou shalt not steal.
[16] Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. [17] Thou shalt
not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor
his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing
that is thy neighbour's. [18] And all the people saw the thunderings, and the
lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when
the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
[19] And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let
not God speak with us, lest we die. [20] And Moses said unto the people, Fear
not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces,
that ye sin not. [21] And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto
the thick darkness where God was.
[22] And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of
Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. [23] Ye shall not
make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
[24] An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy
burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all
places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
[25] And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of
hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. [26]
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not
discovered thereon.
