Three Specimen Chapters.
| The following is the first chapter of Exodus
| as given in the revised version:
l. Now these are the names Of the sons Of
| Israel which came into Egypt Every man and
| his household came with Jacob.
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and JUDAH
3 Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin.
T. Dan and Naphthali, Cad and Asher.
5. And all the souls that came out of the loins
| of Jacob were seventy souls, and Joseph was in
Egypt already
6. And Joseph died, and all his brethren and
all that generation.
z. And the children of Israel were fruitful,
and increased abundantly, and multiplied and
wazea exceeding mighty, end the land was
filled with them.
s. Now there arose a new king over Egypt.
which knew not Joseph.
9. And he said unto his people: Behold the
people of the children of Israel are more and
mightier than we.
10. Come, let us deal wisely with them lest
they multiply, and it come to pass that when
there falleth out any war they also join them
selves unto our enemies and fight against US,
and get them up out of the land.
III. Therefore they did set over them task
masters to afiict them with their burdens and
they built for Pharaoh store cities, Pithom and
Raamses.
IL. But the more they afflicted them the more
they multiplied and the more they spread abroad,
and they were grieved because of the children of
Israel
Is. And the Egyptians made the children and
Israel to serve with rigor.
a. And they made theirlives bitter with hard
service in mortar and brick, and in all manner of
service in the field, all their service wherein they
made them serve with rigor.
10 And the king of Egypt spake to the
Hebrew n.idwives, of which the name of the
one was Shiphrah, and the name of tho other
Priah
16 And he said, When We do the Office of a
midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them
up the birth stool, if it be a son, then ye
shall kill him, but if it be daughter, then she
shall live.
IL. But the midwives feared God and did not
as the king of Egypteommanded them, but saved
the men children alive
1s And the king of Egypt called for the mid
wives and said unto them, Why have We done
this thing. and have saved the men children
alivel
10. And the midwives said unto Pharaoh
Because the Hebrew women are not as the
Egyptian women. for they are lively and are de-
livered ere the midwife come unto them.
20 And God dealt well with the midwives and
the people multiplied and waxed very mighty.
81. And it came to pass because the miGwiyes
feared God that He made them houses
q And Pharaoh charged all his people, say
ing: Every son that is born We shall east into
the river and every daughter We shall save alive
THE FIRST PSALM.
j. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the
counsel of the wicked nor standeth in the way
of sinners nor stitch in the seat of the scorn-
full
2. But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and in His law doth he mediate day and night
J. And he shall be like tree planted by the
streams of water that bringeth forth its fruit in
its season, whose leaf also doth not wither; and
whatsoever ne doeth shall prosper.
4. The wicked are not so, but are like the
chaH, which the wind driveth away.
s. Therefore, the wicked shall not stand in
the judgment nor sinners in the congregation of
the righteous.
g. For the Lord knoweth the way of the
righteous, but the way of the wicked shall
perish.
Following is the revised version Of the fifty
third chapter of Isaiah:
l. Who hath believed our reports and to whom
hath the arm of the Lord been revealed
2. For He grew up before Him as tender
plant, and as a root out of a dry ground He
hath no form nor comeliness, and when we see
Him there Is no beauty that we should desire
! Him.
g He was despised and rejected of mon, a man
of sorrow and acquainted with grief, and as one
| from whom men hide their face He was despised,
| and we esteemed Him not
4. Surely He hath borne our griefs and car
ried our sorrows. yet we did esteem Him stricken,
| smitten of God and afflicted, but He was
| wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised
| for our iniquities; the chastisement of our
| peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we
| are healed.
| g. All we, like sheep. have gone astray; we
! have gone every one to mis- own way; and the
| Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
z. He was oppressed. yet He humbled Him
| self and opened not His mouth, as a lamb that
| is led to the slaughter and as a sheep that be-
| fore her shearers is dumb; yea, He opened not
| His mouth.
BY oppression and judgment He was taken
away, and as for His generation, who among
| land of the living; for the transgressions of my
/ people was He stricken.
| g And they made His grave with the wicked,
| and with the rich in His death, although He had
| done no violence, neither was any deceit in His
| mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him;
| He hath put Him to grief: when thou shall
| make His soul an offering for sin He shall see
| His seed; He shall prolong His days. and the
| pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
| IL. He shall see of the travail of His soul,
and shall be satisfied; by His knowledge shall
| my righteous servant justify many, and He
| shall bear their iniquities.
II Therefore will l divide Him portion
with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with
| the strong. because He poured out His soul unto
| death ard was numbered with the transgressors;
| yet He bare the sin of many and made interces-
| sion for the transgressors.
