Exodus | CatholicG33k

Chapter 1The Israelites are multiplied in Egypt. They are oppressed by a new king, who commands all their male children to be killed.
Chapter 2Moses is born and exposed on the bank of the river; where he is taken up by the daughter of Pharao, and adopted for her son. He kills an Egyptian, and flees into Madian; where he marries a wife.
Chapter 3God appears to Moses in a bush, and sends him to deliver Israel.
Chapter 4Moses is empowered to confirm his mission with miracles: his brother Aaron is appointed to assist him.
Chapter 5Pharao refuses to let the people go. They are more oppressed.
Chapter 6God renews his promise. The genealogies of Ruben, Simon and Levi, down to Moses and Aaron.
Chapter 7Moses and Aaron go into Pharao: they turn the rod into a serpent; and the waters of Egypt into blood, which was the first plague. The magicians do the like, and Pharao's heart is hardened.
Chapter 8The second plague is of frogs: Pharao promises to let the Israelites go, but breaks his promise. The third plague is of sciniphs. The fourth is of flies. Pharao again promises to dismiss the people, but does it not.
Chapter 9The fifth plague is a murrain among the cattle. The sixth, of boils in men and beasts. The seventh, of hail. Pharao promises again to let the people go, and breaks his word.
Chapter 10The eighth plague of the locusts. The ninth, of darkness: Pharao is still hardened.
Chapter 11Pharao and his people are threatened with the death of their firstborn.
Chapter 12The manner of preparing, and eating the paschal lamb: the firstborn of Egypt are all slain: the Israelites depart.
Chapter 13The paschal solemnity is to be observed; and the firstborn are to be consecrated to God. The people are conducted through the desert by a pillar of fire in the night, and a cloud in the day.
Chapter 14Pharao pursues the children of Israel. They murmur against Moses, but are encouraged by him, and pass through the Red Sea. Pharao and his army following them are drowned.
Chapter 15The canticle of Moses. The bitter waters of Mara are made sweet.
Chapter 16The people murmur for want of meat: God gives them quails and manna.
Chapter 17The people murmur again for want of drink; the Lord gives them water out of a rock. Moses lifts up his hands in prayer, and Amalek is overcome.
Chapter 18Jethro brings to Moses his wife and children. His counsel.
Chapter 19They come to Sinai: the people are commanded to be sanctified. The Lord, coming in thunder and lightning, speaks with Moses.
Chapter 20The ten commandments.
Chapter 21Laws relating to Justice.
Chapter 22The punishment of theft, and other trespasses. The law of lending without usury, of taking pledges of reverences to superiors, and of paying tithes.
Chapter 23Laws for judges; the rest of the seventh year, and day: three principal feasts to be solemnized every year; the promise of an angel, to conduct and protect them: idols are to be destroyed.

Chapter 31Beseleel and Ooliab are appointed by the Lord to make the tabernacle, and the things belonging thereto. The observation of the sabbath day is again commanded. And the Lord delivers to Moses two tables written with the finger of God.
Chapter 32The people fall into idolatry. Moses prays for them. He breaks the tables: destroys the idol: blames Aaron, and causes many of the idolaters to be slain.
Chapter 33The people mourn for their sin. Moses pitches the tabernacle outside the camp. He converses familiarly with God. Desires to see his glory.
Chapter 34The tables are renewed: all society with the Canaanites is forbid: some precepts concerning the firstborn, the sabbath, and other feasts: after forty days' fast, Moses returns to the people with the commandments, and his face appearing horned with rays of light, he covers it, whensoever he speaks to the people.
