⁴And the frogs shall come up both upon thee and upon thy people, and upon all thy bondmen.
⁵And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy hand with thy staff over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.
⁶And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
⁷And the scribes did so with their sorceries, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
⁸And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat Jehovah, that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Jehovah.
⁹And Moses said to Pharaoh, Glory over me, for what time shall I intreat for thee, and for thy bondmen, and for thy people, to cut off the frogs from thee and from thy houses; so that they shall remain in the river only?
¹⁰And he said, For to-morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word; that thou mayest know that there is none like Jehovah our God.
¹¹And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy bondmen, and from thy people: they shall remain in the river only.

²¹For, if thou do not let my people go, behold, I will send dog-flies upon thee, and upon thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of dog-flies, and also the ground on which they are.
²²And I will distinguish in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no dog-flies shall be there; that thou mayest know that I Jehovah am in the midst of the land.
²³And I will put a separation between my people and thy people; to-morrow shall this sign be.
²⁴And Jehovah did so; and there came dog-flies in a multitude into the house of Pharaoh, and into the houses of his bondmen; and throughout the land of Egypt, the land was corrupted by the dog-flies.
²⁵And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.

²⁷We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God, as he shall command us.
²⁸And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only, go not very far away: intreat for me!
²⁹And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and will intreat Jehovah; and the dog-flies will depart from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people, to-morrow; only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah.
³⁰And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Jehovah.
³¹And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the dog-flies from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people; there remained not one.
³²And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and would not let the people go.
¹And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
²For if thou refuse to let them go, and shalt retain them still,
³behold, the hand of Jehovah shall be on thy cattle which is in the field, on the horses, on the asses, on the camels, on the oxen and on the sheep, with a very grievous plague.
⁴And Jehovah will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that the children of Israel have.
⁵And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow will Jehovah do this thing in the land.
⁶And Jehovah did this thing on the following day, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.

⁸And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to yourselves handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens before the eyes of Pharaoh.
⁹And it shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become boils on man and on cattle, breaking out with blisters, throughout the land of Egypt.
¹⁰And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it toward the heavens; and it became boils with blisters breaking out on man and on cattle.
¹¹And the scribes could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the scribes, and on all the Egyptians.
¹²And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had told Moses.
¹³And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and set thyself before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
¹⁴For I will at this time send all my plagues to thy heart, and on thy bondmen, and on thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.
¹⁵For now shall I put forth my hand, and I will smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
¹⁶And for this very cause have I raised thee up, to shew thee my power; and that my name may be declared in all the earth.
¹⁷Dost thou still exalt thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
¹⁸Behold, to-morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since its foundation until now.
¹⁹And now send, and secure thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: all the men and the cattle that are found in the field, and are not brought home--on them the hail shall come down, and they shall die.
²⁰He that feared the word of Jehovah among the bondmen of Pharaoh made his bondmen and his cattle flee into the houses.
²¹But he that did not regard the word of Jehovah left his bondmen and his cattle in the field.
²²And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be hail throughout the land of Egypt, upon men, and upon cattle, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.
²³And Moses stretched out his staff toward the heavens, and Jehovah gave thunder and hail; and the fire ran along the ground; and Jehovah rained hail on the land of Egypt.
²⁴And there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
²⁵And the hail smote throughout the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both men and cattle; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
²⁶Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
²⁷And Pharaoh sent, and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: Jehovah is the righteous one, but I and my people are the wicked ones.
²⁸Intreat Jehovah that it may be enough, that there be no more thunder of God and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer!
²⁹And Moses said to him, When I go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Jehovah: the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is Jehovah's.
³⁰But as to thee and thy bondmen, I know that ye do not yet fear Jehovah Elohim.
³¹And the flax and the barley were smitten; for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
³²But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten; for they were not come out into ear.
³³And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Jehovah; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not any more poured on the earth.
³⁴And Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, and he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he, and his bondmen.
³⁵And the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, neither would he let the children of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses.
¹And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh; for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his bondmen, that I might do these my signs in their midst,
²and that thou mightest tell in the ears of thy son and thy son's son what I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
³And Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: How long dost thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
⁴For, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, I will to-morrow bring locusts into thy borders;
⁵and they shall cover the face of the land, so that ye will not be able to see the land; and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which ye have remaining from the hail, and shall eat every tree which ye have growing in the field;
⁶and they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy bondmen, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned and went out from Pharaoh.
⁷And Pharaoh's bondmen said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? let the men go, that they may serve Jehovah their God: dost thou not yet know that Egypt is ruined?
⁸And Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh. And he said to them, Go, serve Jehovah your God. Who are they that shall go?
⁹And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters; with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we have a feast of Jehovah.
¹⁰And he said to them, Let Jehovah be so with you, as I let you go, and your little ones: see that evil is before you!
¹¹Not so: go now, ye that are men, and serve Jehovah! for it is that ye have desired. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
¹²And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up over the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land--all that the hail hath left.
¹³And Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
¹⁴And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt, very grievous; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them will be such.
¹⁵And they covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left; and there remained not any green thing on the trees, and in the herbs of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
¹⁶And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you.
¹⁷And now, forgive, I pray you, my sin only this time, and intreat Jehovah your God that he may take away from me this death only!
¹⁸And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Jehovah.
¹⁹And Jehovah turned a very powerful west wind, which took away the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea: there remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.
²⁰And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
²¹And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be darkness in the land of Egypt--so that one may feel darkness.
²²And Moses stretched out his hand toward the heavens; and there was a thick darkness throughout the land of Egypt three days:
²³they saw not one another, neither rose any from his place, for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
²⁴And Pharaoh called Moses and said, Go, serve Jehovah; only, let your flocks and your herds remain; let your little ones also go with you.
²⁵And Moses said, Thou must give also sacrifices and burnt-offerings into our hands, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God.
²⁶Our cattle also must go with us: there shall not a hoof be left behind; for we must take thereof to serve Jehovah our God; and we do not know with what we must serve Jehovah, until we come there.
²⁷But Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he would not let them go.
²⁸And Pharaoh said to him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in the day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
²⁹And Moses said, Thou hast spoken rightly: I will see thy face again no more!
¹And Jehovah said to Moses, Yet one plague will I bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go altogether, he shall utterly drive you out hence.
²Speak now in the ears of the people, that they ask every man of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, utensils of silver and utensils of gold.
³And Jehovah gave the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt--in the eyes of Pharaoh's bondmen, and in the eyes of the people.
⁴And Moses said, Thus saith Jehovah: About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt.
⁵And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sitteth on his throne, even unto the firstborn of the bondwoman that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of cattle.
⁶And there shall be a great cry throughout the land of Egypt, such as there hath been none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
⁷But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast; that ye may know that Jehovah distinguisheth between the Egyptians and Israel.
⁸And all these thy bondmen shall come down unto me, and bow down to me, saying, Go out, thou, and all the people that follow thee; and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a glowing anger.
⁹And Jehovah had said to Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken to you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
¹⁰And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh; but Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
²This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
³Speak unto all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let them take themselves each a lamb, for a father's house, a lamb for a house.
⁴And if the household be too small for a lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; each according to the measure of his eating shall ye count for the lamb.
⁵Your lamb shall be without blemish, a yearling male; ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats.
⁶And ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel shall kill it between the two evenings.
⁷And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two door-posts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
⁸And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs shall they eat it.
⁹Ye shall eat none of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with its in-wards.
¹⁰And ye shall let none of it remain until the morning; and what remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
¹¹And thus shall ye eat it: your loins shall be girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover.
¹²And I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am Jehovah.
¹³And the blood shall be for you as a sign on the houses in which ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be among you for destruction, when I smite the land of Egypt.
¹⁴And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall celebrate it as a feast to Jehovah; throughout your generations as an ordinance for ever shall ye celebrate it.
¹⁵Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread: on the very first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses; for whoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day--that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
¹⁶And on the first day ye shall have a holy convocation, and on the seventh day a holy convocation: no manner of work shall be done on them, save what is eaten by every person--that only shall be done by you.
¹⁷And ye shall keep the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; and ye shall keep this day in your generations as an ordinance for ever.
¹⁸In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye shall eat unleavened bread until the one and twentieth day of the month in the evening.
¹⁹Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eateth what is leavened--that soul shall be cut off from the assembly of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or born in the land.
²⁰Ye shall eat nothing leavened: in all your dwellings shall ye eat unleavened bread.
²¹And Moses called all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Seize and take yourselves lambs for your families, and kill the passover.
²²And take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and smear the lintel and the two door-posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.
²³And Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses to smite you.
²⁴And ye shall observe this as an ordinance for thee and for thy sons for ever.
²⁵And it shall come to pass, when ye are come into the land that Jehovah will give you, as he has promised, that ye shall keep this service.
²⁶And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say to you, What mean ye by this service?
²⁷that ye shall say, It is a sacrifice of passover to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when he smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses. And the people bowed their heads and worshipped.
²⁸And the children of Israel went away, and did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they.
²⁹And it came to pass that at midnight Jehovah smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle.
³⁰And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his bondmen, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house in which there was not one dead.
³¹And he called Moses and Aaron in the night, and said, Rise up, go away from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, as ye have said.
³²Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and go; and bless me also.
³³And the Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead men!
³⁴And the people took their dough before it was leavened; their kneading-troughs bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
³⁵And the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked of the Egyptians utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and clothing.
³⁶And Jehovah had given the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they gave to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.
³⁷And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, besides children.
³⁸And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks and herds--very much cattle.
³⁹And they baked the dough that they brought forth out of Egypt into unleavened cakes, for it was not leavened; for they were driven out of Egypt, and could not wait; neither had they prepared for themselves any food.
⁴⁰And the residence of the children of Israel that they resided in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
⁴¹And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on that same day it came to pass that all the hosts of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt.
⁴²It is a night of observance to Jehovah, because of their being brought out from the land of Egypt: that same night is an observance to Jehovah for all the children of Israel in their generations.
⁴³And Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: No stranger shall eat of it;
⁴⁴but every man's bondman that is bought for money--let him be circumcised: then shall he eat it.
⁴⁵A settler and a hired servant shall not eat it.
⁴⁶In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth any of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
⁴⁷All the assembly of Israel shall hold it.
⁴⁸And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and would hold the passover to Jehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and hold it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
⁴⁹One law shall be for him that is home-born and for the sojourner that sojourneth among you.
⁵⁰And all the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they.
⁵¹And it came to pass on that same day, that Jehovah brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their hosts.
¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
²Hallow unto me every firstborn, whatever breaketh open the womb among the children of Israel, of man and of cattle: it is mine.
³And Moses said to the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for with a powerful hand hath Jehovah brought you out from this; and nothing leavened shall be eaten.
⁴Ye come out to-day, in the month Abib.
⁵And it shall be when Jehovah hath brought thee into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, which he swore to thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
⁶Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread; and in the seventh day is a feast to Jehovah.
⁷Unleavened bread shall be eaten the seven days; and leavened bread shall not be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy borders.
⁸And thou shalt inform thy son in that day, saying, It is because of what Jehovah did to me when I came out of Egypt.
⁹And it shall be for a sign to thee on thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the law of Jehovah may be in thy mouth; for with a powerful hand hath Jehovah brought thee out of Egypt.
¹⁰And thou shalt keep this ordinance at its set time from year to year.
¹¹And it shall be when Jehovah hath brought thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he hath sworn to thee and to thy fathers, and hath given it thee,
¹²that thou shalt offer unto Jehovah all that breaketh open the womb, and every firstling that cometh of cattle which is thine: the males shall be Jehovah's.
¹³And every firstling of an ass shalt thou ransom with a lamb; and if thou do not ransom it, thou shalt break its neck; and every firstborn of a man among thy sons shalt thou ransom.
¹⁴And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say to him, With a powerful hand Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
¹⁵And it came to pass, when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, that Jehovah slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of men and the firstborn of cattle: therefore I sacrifice to Jehovah all that breaketh open the womb--being males; and every firstborn of my children I ransom.
¹⁶And it shall be for a sign on thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, for with a powerful hand Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt.
¹⁷And it came to pass, when Pharaoh let the people go, that God did not lead them the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, That the people may not repent when they see conflict, and return to Egypt.
¹⁸And God led the people about, the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea; and the children of Israel went arrayed out of the land of Egypt.
¹⁹And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him; for he had made the children of Israel swear an oath, saying, God will be sure to visit you; then ye shall carry my bones with you hence.
²⁰And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, at the end of the wilderness.
²¹And Jehovah went before their face by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them in the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; so that they could go day and night.
²²The pillar of the cloud did not remove from before the people by day, nor the pillar of fire by night.
¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
²Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea: before Baal-Zephon, opposite to it, shall ye encamp by the sea.
³And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has hemmed them in.
⁴And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he may pursue after them; and I will glorify myself in Pharaoh, and in all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah. And they did so.
⁵And it was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his bondmen was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from our service?
⁶And he yoked his chariot, and took his people with him.
⁷And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
⁸And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel had gone out with a high hand.
⁹And the Egyptians pursued after them,--all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them where they had encamped by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, opposite to Baal-Zephon.
¹⁰And Pharaoh approached; and the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and the children of Israel were much afraid, and cried out to Jehovah.
¹¹And they said to Moses, Is it because there were no graves in Egypt, thou hast taken us away to die in the wilderness? why hast thou done this to us, that thou hast led us out of Egypt?
¹²Is not this what we told thee in Egypt, when we said, Let us alone, and we will serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.
¹³And Moses said to the people, Fear not: stand still, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which he will work for you to-day; for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
¹⁴Jehovah will fight for you, and ye shall be still.
¹⁵And Jehovah said to Moses, Why dost thou cry unto me? Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.
¹⁶And thou, lift thy staff, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
¹⁷And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall pursue after them; and I will glorify myself in Pharaoh and in all his host, in his chariots and in his horsemen.
¹⁸And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have glorified myself in Pharaoh, in his chariots and in his horsemen.
¹⁹And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before them, and stood behind them.
²⁰And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and was a cloud and darkness, and lit up the night; and the one did not come near the other all the night.
²¹And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Jehovah made the sea go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
²²And the children of Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
²³And the Egyptians pursued and came after them--all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.
²⁴And it came to pass in the morning watch, that Jehovah looked upon the camp of the Egyptians, in the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and embarrassed the camp of the Egyptians.
²⁵And he took off their chariot wheels, and caused them to drive with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee before Israel, for Jehovah is fighting for them against the Egyptians!
²⁶And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and upon their horsemen.
²⁷And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength toward the morning; and the Egyptians fled against it; and Jehovah overturned the Egyptians into the midst of the sea.
²⁸And the waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen of all the host of Pharaoh that had come into the sea after them; there remained not even one of them.
²⁹And the children of Israel walked on dry ground through the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
³⁰Thus Jehovah saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea-shore.
³¹And Israel saw the great power with which Jehovah had wrought against the Egyptians; and the people feared Jehovah, and believed in Jehovah, and in Moses his bondman. (Ex. 7:1‑14:31)

;

Deut. 4:33‑37• ³³Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
³⁴Or hath God essayed to come to take him a nation from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a powerful hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Jehovah your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
³⁵Unto thee it was shewn, that thou mightest know that Jehovah, he is God--there is none other besides him.
³⁶From the heavens he made thee hear his voice, that he might instruct thee; and on the earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words from the midst of the fire.
³⁷And because he loved thy fathers, and chose their seed after them, he brought thee out with his countenance, with his great power, out of Egypt, (Deut. 4:33‑37)

;

Deut. 6:21‑22• ²¹then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a powerful hand;

;

Neh. 9:10• ¹⁰and didst shew signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants, and upon all the people of his land; for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them, and thou didst make thee a name, as it is this day. (Neh. 9:10)

;

Psa. 78:12‑13,42‑51• ¹²In the sight of their fathers had he done wonders, in the land of Egypt, the field of Zoan.
¹³He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; and made the waters to stand as a heap;
⁴²They remembered not his hand, the day when he delivered them from the oppressor,
⁴³How he set his signs in Egypt, and his miracles in the field of Zoan;
⁴⁴And turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, that they could not drink;
⁴⁵He sent dog-flies among them, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them;
⁴⁶And he gave their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust;
⁴⁷He killed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with hail-stones;
⁴⁸And he delivered up their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to thunderbolts.
⁴⁹He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and distress,--a mission of angels of woes.
⁵⁰He made a way for his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
⁵¹And he smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the first-fruits of their vigour in the tents of Ham. (Psa. 78:12‑13,42‑51)

;

Psa. 105:27‑36• ²⁷They set his signs among them, and miracles in the land of Ham.
²⁸He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
²⁹He turned their waters into blood, and caused their fish to die.
³⁰Their land swarmed with frogs,--in the chambers of their kings.
³¹He spoke, and there came dog-flies, and gnats in all their borders.
³²He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land;
³³And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees of their borders.
³⁴He spoke, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, even without number;
³⁵And they devoured every herb in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
³⁶And he smote every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigour. (Psa. 105:27‑36)

;

Psa. 106:8‑11• ⁸Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his might.

¹¹And the waters covered their oppressors: there was not one of them left. (Psa. 106:8‑11)

;

Psa. 135:8‑12• ⁸Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;

¹²With a powerful hand and with a stretched-out arm, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;
¹³To him that divided the Red sea into parts, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,
¹⁴And made Israel to pass through the midst of it, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,
¹⁵And overturned Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever; (Psa. 136:9‑15)

Ex. 14:21,27‑29• ²¹And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Jehovah made the sea go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
²⁷And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength toward the morning; and the Egyptians fled against it; and Jehovah overturned the Egyptians into the midst of the sea.
²⁸And the waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen of all the host of Pharaoh that had come into the sea after them; there remained not even one of them.
²⁹And the children of Israel walked on dry ground through the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. (Ex. 14:21,27‑29)

and in the wilderness.

Ex. 15:23‑25• ²³And they came to Marah, and could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore the name of it was called Marah.
²⁴And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
²⁵And he cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah shewed him wood, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance; and there he tested them. (Ex. 15:23‑25)

;

Ex. 16:1‑17:16• ¹And they journeyed from Elim, and the whole assembly of the children of Israel came into the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure out of the land of Egypt.
²And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.
³And the children of Israel said to them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole congregation with hunger!
⁴Then said Jehovah to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather the daily need on its day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.
⁵And it shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare what they have brought in; and it shall be twice as much as they shall gather daily.
⁶And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, In the evening, then shall ye know that Jehovah has brought you out from the land of Egypt;
⁷and in the morning, then shall ye see the glory of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings against Jehovah;--and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
⁸And Moses said, When Jehovah gives you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for Jehovah hears your murmurings which ye murmur against him … and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.
⁹And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to all the assembly of the children of Israel, Come near into the presence of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings.
¹⁰And it came to pass, when Aaron spoke to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, that they turned toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud.
¹¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
¹²I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, Between the two evenings ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God.
¹³And it came to pass in the evening, that quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay round the camp.
¹⁴And when the dew that lay round it was gone up, behold, on the face of the wilderness there was something fine, granular, fine as hoar-frost, on the ground.
¹⁵And the children of Israel saw it, and said one to another, What is it? for they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat.
¹⁶This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Gather of it every man according to what he can eat, an omer a poll, according to the number of your persons: ye shall take every man for those that are in his tent.
¹⁷And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some much, some little.
¹⁸And they measured with the omer: then he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little wanted nothing: they had gathered every man according to the measure of his eating.
¹⁹And Moses said to them, Let no man leave any of it until the morning.
²⁰But they did not hearken to Moses; and some men left of it until the morning; then worms bred in it and it stank. And Moses was wroth with them.
²¹And they gathered it every morning, every man as much as he could eat; and when the sun became hot, it melted.
²²And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one; and all the princes of the assembly came and told Moses.
²³And he said to them, This is what Jehovah has said: To-morrow is the rest, the holy sabbath, of Jehovah: bake what ye will bake, and cook what ye will cook; and lay up for yourselves all that remains over, to be kept for the morning.
²⁴And they laid it up for the morning, as Moses had commanded; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.
²⁵And Moses said, Eat it to-day; for to-day is sabbath to Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.
²⁶Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day is sabbath: on it there shall be none.
²⁷And it came to pass on the seventh day that there went out some from the people to gather it, and they found none.
²⁸And Jehovah said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
²⁹See, for Jehovah hath given you the sabbath; therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread for two days. Abide every man in his place: let no man go from his place on the seventh day.
³⁰And the people rested on the seventh day.
³¹And the house of Israel called its name Manna; and it was like coriander-seed, white; and the taste of it was like cake with honey.
³²And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.
³³And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put in it an omer full of manna, and deposit it before Jehovah, to be kept for your generations.
³⁴As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so Aaron deposited it before the Testimony, to be kept.
³⁵And the children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came into an inhabited land: they ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
³⁶Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
¹And all the assembly of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, according to their journeys, at the command of Jehovah; and they encamped in Rephidim; and there was no water for the people to drink.
²And the people contended with Moses, and said, Give us water, that we may drink! And Moses said to them, Why do ye dispute with me? Why do ye tempt Jehovah?
³And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Why is it that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
⁴And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, What shall I do with this people? Yet a little, and they will stone me!
⁵And Jehovah said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel, and thy staff with which thou didst smite the river, take in thy hand, and go.
⁶Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock on Horeb; and thou shalt strike the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Israel.
⁷And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they had tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us, or not?
⁸And Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
⁹And Moses said to Joshua, Choose us men, and go out, fight with Amalek; to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.
¹⁰And Joshua did as Moses had said to him, to fight with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
¹¹And it came to pass when Moses raised his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
¹²And Moses' hands were heavy; then they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on this side, and one on that side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
¹³And Joshua broke the power of Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
¹⁴And Jehovah said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in the book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.
¹⁵And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi.
¹⁶And he said, For the hand is on the throne of Jah; Jehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation! (Ex. 16:1‑17:16)

;

Ex. 19:1‑20:26• ¹In the third month after the departure of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai:
²they departed from Rephidim, and came into the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped in the wilderness; and Israel encamped there before the mountain.
³And Moses went up to God, and Jehovah called to him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
⁴Ye have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, and how I have borne you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.
⁵And now, if ye will hearken to my voice indeed and keep my covenant, then shall ye be my own possession out of all the peoples--for all the earth is mine--
⁶and ye shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak to the children of Israel.
⁷And Moses came and called the elders of the people, and laid before the mall these words which Jehovah had commanded him.
⁸And all the people answered together, and said, All that Jehovah has spoken will we do! And Moses brought the words of the people back to Jehovah.
⁹And Jehovah said to Moses, Lo, I will come to thee in the cloud's thick darkness, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee also for ever. And Moses told the words of the people to Jehovah.
¹⁰And Jehovah said to Moses, Go to the people, and hallow them to-day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes;
¹¹and let them be ready for the third day; for on the third day Jehovah will come down before the eyes of all the people on mount Sinai.
¹²And set bounds round about the people, saying, Take heed to yourselves, not to go up unto the mountain nor touch the border of it: whatever toucheth the mountain shall certainly be put to death:
¹³not a hand shall touch it, but it shall certainly be stoned, or shot through; whether it be a beast or a man, it shall not live. When the long drawn note of the trumpet soundeth, they shall come up to the mountain.
¹⁴And Moses came down from the mountain to the people, and hallowed the people; and they washed their clothes.
¹⁵And he said to the people, Be ready for the third day; do not come near your wives.
¹⁶And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings and a heavy cloud on the mountain, and the sound of the trumpet exceeding loud; and the whole people that was in the camp trembled.
¹⁷And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
¹⁸And the whole of mount Sinai smoked, because Jehovah descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended as the smoke of a furnace; and the whole mountain shook greatly.
¹⁹And the sound of the trumpet increased and became exceeding loud; Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
²⁰And Jehovah came down on mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain; and Jehovah called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
²¹And Jehovah said to Moses, Go down, testify to the people that they break not through to Jehovah to gaze, and many of them perish.
²²And the priests also, who come near to Jehovah, shall hallow themselves, lest Jehovah break forth on them.
²³And Moses said to Jehovah, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai; for thou hast testified to us, saying, Set bounds about the mountain, and hallow it.
²⁴And Jehovah said to him, Go, descend, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee; but the priests and the people shall not break through to go up to Jehovah, lest he break forth on them.
²⁵So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
¹And God spoke all these words, saying,
²I am Jehovah thy God, who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
³Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
⁴Thou shalt not make thyself any graven image, or any form of what is in the heavens above, or what is in the earth beneath, or what is in the waters under the earth:
⁵thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I, Jehovah thy God, am a jealous *God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and to the fourth generation of them that hate me,
⁶and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
⁷Thou shalt not idly utter the name of Jehovah thy God; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that idly uttereth his name.
⁸Remember the sabbath day to hallow it.
⁹Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;
¹⁰but the seventh day is the sabbath of Jehovah thy God: thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy bondman, nor thy handmaid, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.
¹¹For in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
¹²Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be prolonged in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
¹³Thou shalt not kill.
¹⁴Thou shalt not commit adultery.
¹⁵Thou shalt not steal.
¹⁶Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
¹⁷Thou shalt not desire thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not desire thy neighbour's wife, nor his bondman, nor his handmaid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour's.
¹⁸And all the people saw the thunderings, and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off,
¹⁹and said to Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
²⁰And Moses said to the people, Fear not; for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not.
²¹And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near to the obscurity where God was.
²²And Jehovah said to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: Ye have seen that I have spoken with you from the heavens.
²³Ye shall not make beside me gods of silver, and ye shall not make to you gods of gold.
²⁴An altar of earth shalt thou make unto me, and shalt sacrifice on it thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep and thine oxen: in all places where I shall make my name to be remembered, I will come unto thee, and bless thee.
²⁵And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone; for if thou lift up thy sharp tool upon it, thou hast profaned it.
²⁶Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon. (Ex. 19:1‑20:26)

;

Num. 9:15‑23• ¹⁵And on the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle of the tent of testimony; and at even it was upon the tabernacle as the appearance of fire, until the morning.
¹⁶So it was continually: the cloud covered it, and at night it was as the appearance of fire.
¹⁷And when the cloud rose from the tent, then the children of Israel journeyed; and at the place where the cloud stood still, there the children of Israel encamped.
¹⁸According to the commandment of Jehovah the children of Israel journeyed, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they remained encamped; all the days that the cloud dwelt upon the tabernacle they encamped.
¹⁹And when the cloud was long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and journeyed not.
²⁰And if it were so that the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle, according to the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed.
²¹And if it were so that the cloud was there from the evening until the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed; or a day and a night, and the cloud was taken up, they journeyed;
²²or two days, or a month, or many days, when the cloud was long upon the tabernacle, dwelling upon it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and journeyed not; but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
²³At the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and at the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed: they kept the charge of Jehovah according to the commandment of Jehovah through Moses. (Num. 9:15‑23)

;

Num. 11:1‑35• ¹And it came to pass that when the people murmured, it was evil in the ears of Jehovah; and Jehovah heard it, and his anger was kindled, and the fire of Jehovah burned among them, and consumed some in the extremity of the camp.
²And the people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Jehovah--and the fire abated.
³And they called the name of that place Taberah; because a fire of Jehovah burned among them.
⁴And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted; and the children of Israel also wept again and said, Who will give us flesh to eat?
⁵We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;
⁶and now our soul is dried up: there is nothing at all but the manna before our eyes.
⁷And the manna was as coriander seed, and its appearance as the appearance of bdellium.
⁸The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it with hand-mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it; and the taste of it was as the taste of oil-cakes.
⁹And when the dew fell upon the camp by night, the manna fell upon it.
¹⁰And Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every one at the entrance of his tent; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled greatly; it was also evil in the eyes of Moses.
¹¹And Moses said to Jehovah, Why hast thou done evil to thy servant, and why have I not found favour in thine eyes, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
¹²Have I conceived all this people, have I brought them forth, that thou sayest to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as the nursing-father beareth the suckling, unto the land which thou didst swear unto their fathers?
¹³Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh that we may eat!
¹⁴I am not able to bear all this people alone, for it is too heavy for me.
¹⁵And if thou deal thus with me, slay me, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, that I may not behold my wretchedness.
¹⁶And Jehovah said to Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and their officers; and take them to the tent of meeting, and they shall stand there with thee.
¹⁷And I will come down and talk with thee there; and I will take of the Spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, and thou shalt not bear it alone.
¹⁸And unto the people shalt thou say, Hallow yourselves for to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who will give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt; and Jehovah will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
¹⁹Not one day shall ye eat, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
²⁰but for a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it become loathsome unto you; because that ye have despised Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
²¹And Moses said, The people in whose midst I am are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou sayest, I will give them flesh that they may eat a whole month.
²²Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered for them, to suffice them?
²³And Jehovah said to Moses, Hath Jehovah's hand become short? Now shalt thou see whether my word will come to pass unto thee or not.
²⁴And Moses went out and told the people the words of Jehovah; and he gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tent.
²⁵And Jehovah came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men, the elders; and it came to pass, that when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did not repeat it.
²⁶And two men remained in the camp, the name of the one, Eldad, and the name of the other, Medad; and the Spirit rested upon them (and they were among them that were written, but they had not gone out to the tent); and they prophesied in the camp.
²⁷And there ran a youth, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.
²⁸And Joshua the son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them!
²⁹But Moses said to him, Enviest thou for my sake? would that all Jehovah's people were prophets, and that Jehovah would put his Spirit upon them!
³⁰And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
³¹And there went forth a wind from Jehovah, and drove quails from the sea, and cast them about the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and about a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the earth.
³²And the people rose up all that day, and the whole night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered little gathered ten homers; and they spread them abroad for themselves round about the camp.
³³The flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, when the wrath of Jehovah was kindled against the people, and Jehovah smote the people with a very great plague.
³⁴And they called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they buried the people who lusted.
³⁵From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed to Hazeroth; and they were at Hazeroth. (Num. 11:1‑35)

;

Num. 14:1‑45• ¹And the whole assembly lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
²And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron; and the whole assembly said to them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or in this wilderness would that we had died!
³And why is Jehovah bringing us to this land that we may fall by the sword, that our wives and our little ones may become a prey? Is it not better for us to return to Egypt?
⁴And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return to Egypt.
⁵Then Moses and Aaron fell upon their faces before the whole congregation of the assembly of the children of Israel.
⁶And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of them that searched out the land, rent their garments.
⁷And they spoke to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it out, is a very, very good land.
⁸If Jehovah delight in us, he will bring us into this land, and give it us, a land that flows with milk and honey;
⁹only rebel not against Jehovah; and fear not the people of the land; for they shall be our food. Their defence is departed from them, and Jehovah is with us: fear them not.
¹⁰And the whole assembly said that they should be stoned with stones. And the glory of Jehovah appeared in the tent of meeting to all the children of Israel.
¹¹And Jehovah said to Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe me, for all the signs which I have done among them?
¹²I will smite them with the pestilence, and destroy them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they.
¹³And Moses said to Jehovah, Then the Egyptians will hear it; for in thy might thou broughtest up this people from the midst of them;
¹⁴and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land, who have heard that thou, Jehovah, art in the midst of this people, that thou, Jehovah, lettest thyself be seen eye to eye, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night;
¹⁵if thou now slayest this people as one man, then the nations that have heard thy fame will speak, saying,
¹⁶Because Jehovah was not able to bring this people into the land that he had sworn unto them, he has therefore slain them in the wilderness.
¹⁷And now, I beseech thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
¹⁸Jehovah is slow to anger, and abundant in goodness, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and fourth generation.
¹⁹Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of thy loving-kindness, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
²⁰And Jehovah said, I have pardoned according to thy word.
²¹But as surely as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah!
²²for all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice,
²³shall in no wise see the land which I did swear unto their fathers: none of them that despised me shall see it.
²⁴But my servant Caleb, because he hath another spirit in him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he came; and his seed shall possess it.
²⁵(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in the valley.) To-morrow turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness, on the way to the Red sea.
²⁶And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
²⁷How long shall I bear with this evil assembly, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
²⁸Say unto them, As surely as I live, saith Jehovah, if I do not do unto you as ye have spoken in mine ears!
²⁹In this wilderness shall your carcases fall; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number from twenty years old and upwards, who have murmured against me,
³⁰shall in no wise come into the land, concerning which I have lifted up my hand to make you dwell in it; save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
³¹But your little ones, of whom ye said they should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land that ye have despised.
³²And as to you, your carcases shall fall in this wilderness.
³³And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
³⁴After the number of the days in which ye have searched out the land, forty days, each day for a year shall ye bear your iniquities forty years, and ye shall know mine estrangement from you.
³⁵I Jehovah have spoken; I will surely do it unto all this evil assembly which have gathered together against me! in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
³⁶And the men whom Moses had sent to search out the land, who returned, and made the whole assembly to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report upon the land,
³⁷even those men who had brought up an evil report upon the land, died by a plague before Jehovah.
³⁸But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, lived still of the men that had gone to search out the land.
³⁹And Moses told all these sayings to all the children of Israel; then the people mourned greatly.
⁴⁰And they rose up early in the morning, and went up to the hill-top, saying, Here are we, and we will go up to the place of which Jehovah has spoken; for we have sinned.
⁴¹And Moses said, Why now do ye transgress the commandment of Jehovah? but it shall not prosper!
⁴²Go not up, for Jehovah is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies;
⁴³for the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword; for as ye have turned away from Jehovah, Jehovah will not be with you.
⁴⁴Yet they presumed to go up to the hill-top; but the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and Moses, did not depart from the midst of the camp.
⁴⁵And the Amalekites and the Canaanites who dwelt on that hill, came down and smote them, and cut them to pieces, as far as Hormah. (Num. 14:1‑45)

;

Num. 16:1‑17:13• ¹And Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, made bold, and with him Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, the sons of Reuben;
²and they rose up against Moses, with two hundred and fifty men of the children of Israel, princes of the assembly, summoned to the council, men of renown;
³and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, It is enough; for all the assembly, all of them are holy, and Jehovah is among them; and why do ye lift up yourselves above the congregation of Jehovah?
⁴When Moses heard this, he fell on his face.
⁵And he spoke to Korah and to all his band, saying, Even to-morrow will Jehovah make known who is his, and who is holy; and he will cause him to come near to him; and him whom he has chosen, him will he cause to come near to him.
⁶This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his band,
⁷and put fire therein, and lay incense thereon before Jehovah to-morrow; and it shall be that the man whom Jehovah doth choose, he shall be holy. It is enough, ye sons of Levi!
⁸And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi!
⁹Is it too little for you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the assembly of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the work of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the assembly to minister to them?
¹⁰--that he has brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee; and seek ye now the priesthood also?
¹¹For which cause thou and all thy band are banded together against Jehovah; and Aaron, who is he that ye murmur against him?
¹²And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, We will not come up!
¹³Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that thou must make thyself altogether a ruler over us?
¹⁴Moreover, thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up!
¹⁵Then Moses was very wroth, and said to Jehovah, Have no regard to their oblation: not one ass have I taken from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
¹⁶And Moses said to Korah, Be thou and all thy band before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow.
¹⁷And take each his censer, and put incense thereon, and present before Jehovah every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; and thou, and Aaron, each his censer.
¹⁸And they took each his censer, and put fire on them, and laid incense thereon, and stood before the entrance to the tent of meeting, as well as Moses and Aaron.
¹⁹And Korah gathered the whole assembly against them to the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of Jehovah appeared to all the assembly.
²⁰And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
²¹Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment.
²²And they fell on their faces, and said, O *God, the God of the spirits of all flesh! shall *one* man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with the whole assembly?
²³And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
²⁴Speak unto the assembly, saying, Get you up from about the habitation of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
²⁵And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
²⁶And he spoke to the assembly, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye perish in all their sins.
²⁷And they got up from the habitation of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side. And Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the entrance of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
²⁸And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that Jehovah has sent me to do all these deeds, for they are not out of my own heart:
²⁹if these men die as all men die, and are visited with the visitation of all men, Jehovah has not sent me;
³⁰but if Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, and all that they have, and they go down alive into Sheol, then ye shall know that these men have despised Jehovah.
³¹And it came to pass when he had ended speaking all these words, that the ground clave apart that was under them.
³²And the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that belonged to Korah, and all their property.
³³And they went down, they and all that they had, alive into Sheol, and the earth covered them; and they perished from among the congregation.
³⁴And all Israel that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up!
³⁵And there came out a fire from Jehovah, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had presented incense.
³⁶And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
³⁷Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning; and scatter the fire afar; for they are hallowed,
³⁸the censers of these sinners who have forfeited their life; and they shall make them into broad plates for the covering of the altar; for they presented them before Jehovah, therefore they are hallowed; and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
³⁹And Eleazar the priest took the copper censers, which they that were burnt had presented; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:
⁴⁰as a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger who is not of the seed of Aaron come near to burn incense before Jehovah, that he be not as Korah, and as his band,--as Jehovah had said to him through Moses.
⁴¹And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured on the morrow against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of Jehovah.
⁴²And it came to pass, when the assembly was gathered together against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting, and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Jehovah appeared.
⁴³And Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting.
⁴⁴And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
⁴⁵Get you up from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment. And they fell on their faces.
⁴⁶And Moses said to Aaron, Take the censer, and put fire thereon from off the altar, and lay on incense, and carry it quickly to the assembly, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from Jehovah: the plague is begun.
⁴⁷And Aaron took as Moses had said, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and behold, the plague had begun among the people; and he put on incense, and made atonement for the people.
⁴⁸And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
⁴⁹Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides them that had died because of the matter of Korah.
⁵⁰And Aaron returned to Moses to the entrance of the tent of meeting; and the plague was stayed.
¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
²Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of them a staff, a staff for each father's house, of all their princes according to the houses of their fathers, twelve staves: thou shalt write each one's name upon his staff.
³And Aaron's name shalt thou write upon the staff of Levi; for one staff shall be for each head of their fathers' houses.
⁴And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
⁵And it shall come to pass, that the man whom I shall choose, his staff shall bud forth; and I will make to cease from before me the murmurings of the children of Israel, that they murmur against you.
⁶And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and all their princes gave him a staff, one staff for each prince according to their fathers' houses, twelve staves, and the staff of Aaron was among their staves.
⁷And Moses laid the staves before Jehovah in the tent of the testimony.
⁸And it came to pass, when on the morrow Moses went into the tent of the testimony, behold, the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and ripened almonds.
⁹And Moses brought out all the staves from before Jehovah to all the children of Israel, and they looked and took each one his staff.
¹⁰And Jehovah said to Moses, Bring Aaron's staff again before the testimony, to be kept as a token for the sons of rebellion, that thou mayest put an end to their murmurings before me, that they may not die.
¹¹And Moses did so: as Jehovah had commanded him, so did he.
¹²And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Lo, we expire, we perish, we all perish.
¹³Every one that comes at all near to the tabernacle of Jehovah shall die: shall we then expire altogether? (Num. 16:1‑17:13)

;

Num. 20:1‑21:35• ¹And the children of Israel, the whole assembly, came into the wilderness of Zin, in the first month; and the people abode at Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
²And there was no water for the assembly, and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
³And the people contended with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would that we had died when our brethren died before Jehovah!
⁴And why have ye brought the congregation of Jehovah into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our beasts?
⁵And why have ye made us to go up out of Egypt, to bring us to this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink.
⁶And Moses and Aaron went from before the congregation to the entrance of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces; and the glory of Jehovah appeared to them.
⁷And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
⁸Take the staff, and gather the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes, and it shall give its water; and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock, and shalt give the assembly and their beasts drink.
⁹And Moses took the staff from before Jehovah, as he had commanded him.
¹⁰And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now, ye rebels: shall we bring forth to you water out of this rock?
¹¹And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his staff smote the rock twice, and much water came out, and the assembly drank, and their beasts.
¹²And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to hallow me before the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land that I have given them.
¹³These are the waters of Meribah, where the children of Israel contended with Jehovah, and he hallowed himself in them.
¹⁴And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus says thy brother Israel: Thou knowest all the trouble that hath befallen us,
¹⁵how our fathers went down to Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians evil entreated us and our fathers;
¹⁶and when we cried to Jehovah, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt; and behold, we are at Kadesh, a city at the extremity of thy border.
¹⁷Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country; we will not pass through fields, or through vineyards, neither will we drink water out of the wells: we will go by the king's road; we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy border.
¹⁸But Edom said to him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
¹⁹And the children of Israel said to him, We will go by the high way; and if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then I will pay for it: I will only, without anything else, go through on my feet.
²⁰And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
²¹Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his territory; and Israel turned away from him.
²²And they removed from Kadesh; and the children of Israel, the whole assembly, came to mount Hor.
²³And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron in mount Hor, on the border of the land of Edom, saying,
²⁴Aaron shall be gathered unto his peoples; for he shall not enter into the land that I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my commandment at the waters of Meribah.
²⁵Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor,
²⁶and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron shall be gathered to his peoples, and shall die there.
²⁷And Moses did as Jehovah had commanded, and they went up mount Hor before the eyes of the whole assembly.
²⁸And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there upon the top of the mountain; and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
²⁹And the whole assembly saw that Aaron was dead, and they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even the whole house of Israel.
¹And the Canaanite king of Arad, who dwelt in the south, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim, and he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
²Then Israel vowed a vow to Jehovah, and said, If thou give this people wholly into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
³And Jehovah listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them, and their cities. And they called the name of the place Hormah.
⁴And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to go round the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became impatient on the way;
⁵and the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have ye brought us up out of Egypt that we should die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and no water, and our soul loathes this light bread.
⁶Then Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, which bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
⁷And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, in that we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee: pray to Jehovah that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
⁸And Jehovah said to Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, and looketh upon it, shall live.
⁹And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, if a serpent had bitten any man, and he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
¹⁰And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in Oboth.
¹¹And they removed from Oboth, and encamped at Ijim-Abarim, in the wilderness that is before Moab, toward the sun-rising.
¹²From thence they removed, and encamped at the torrent Zered.
¹³From thence they removed, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites. For the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
¹⁴Therefore it is said in the book of the wars of Jehovah, Vaheb in Suphah, and the brooks of Arnon;
¹⁵And the stream of the brooks which turneth to the dwelling of Ar, And inclineth toward the border of Moab.
¹⁶And from thence to Beer: that is the well of which Jehovah spoke to Moses, Assemble the people, and I will give them water.
¹⁷Then Israel sang this song, Rise up, well! sing unto it:
¹⁸Well which princes digged, which the nobles of the people hollowed out at the word of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah;
¹⁹and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
²⁰and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the fields of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks over the surface of the waste.
²¹And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
²²Let us pass through thy land; we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink water out of the wells; on the king's road will we go until we have passed thy border.
²³But Sihon would not suffer Israel to go through his border; and Sihon gathered all his people, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
²⁴And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
²⁵And Israel took all these cities, and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, at Heshbon, and in all its dependent villages.
²⁶For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites; and he had fought against the former king of Moab, and had taken all his land out of his hand, even unto the Arnon.
²⁷Therefore the poets say, Come to Heshbon; let the city of Sihon be built and established.
²⁸For there went forth fire from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; It consumed Ar of Moab, the lords of the high places of the Arnon.
²⁹Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, people of Chemosh: He gave his sons that had escaped, and his daughters into captivity to Sihon the king of the Amorites.
³⁰And we have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon; and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
³¹And Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
³²And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took its dependent villages, and he dispossessed the Amorites that were there.
³³And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan; and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, for battle to Edrei.
³⁴And Jehovah said to Moses, Fear him not! for into thy hand have I given him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.
³⁵And they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, so that they left him none remaining, and took possession of his land. (Num. 20:1‑21:35)

;

Deut. 2:25‑37• ²⁵This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples under the whole heaven; who will hear report of thee, and will tremble, and quake because of thee.
²⁶And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon the king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
²⁷Let me pass through thy land: by the highway alone will I go; I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.
²⁸Thou shalt sell me food for money that I may eat; and thou shalt give me water for money that I may drink; I will only pass through on my feet,
²⁹--as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me,--until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God giveth us.
³⁰But Sihon the king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obdurate, that he might give him into thy hand, as it is this day.
³¹And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I begin to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin, take possession, that thou mayest possess his land.
³²And Sihon came out against us for battle, he and all his people, to Jahaz.
³³But Jehovah our God gave him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and his whole people.
³⁴And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every city, men, and women, and little ones: we let none escape.
³⁵Only the cattle we took as booty for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
³⁶From Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the ravine even to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: Jehovah our God delivered all before us.
³⁷Only thou didst not approach the land of the children of Ammon, the whole border of the river Jabbok, nor the cities of the mountain, nor to whatsoever Jehovah our God had forbidden us. (Deut. 2:25‑37)

;

Deut. 8:4• ⁴Thy clothing grew not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. (Deut. 8:4)

;

Neh. 9:12‑15,18‑22• ¹²And thou leddest them in the day by a pillar of cloud, and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.
¹³And thou camest down on mount Sinai, and didst speak with them from the heavens, and gavest them right judgments and true laws, good statutes and commandments.
¹⁴And thou madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and prescribedst for them commandments and statutes and a law, through Moses thy servant.
¹⁵And thou gavest them bread from the heavens for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and didst say to them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.
¹⁸Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy god that brought thee up out of Egypt! and they had wrought great provocation,
¹⁹yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness. The pillar of the cloud departed not from over them by day, to lead them on the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.
²⁰Thou gavest also thy good Spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.
²¹Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness; they lacked nothing; their clothes grew not old, and their feet swelled not.
²²And thou gavest them kingdoms and peoples, and didst divide them by countries; and they possessed the land of Sihon, as well the land of the king of Heshbon, as the land of Og king of Bashan. (Neh. 9:12‑15,18‑22)

;

Psa. 78:14‑33• ¹⁴And he led them with a cloud in the daytime, and all the night with the light of fire.
¹⁵He clave rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the depths, abundantly;
¹⁶And he brought streams out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
¹⁷Yet they still went on sinning against him, provoking the Most High in the desert;
¹⁸And they tempted *God in their heart, by asking meat for their lust;
¹⁹And they spoke against God: they said, Is *God able to prepare a table in the wilderness?
²⁰Behold, he smote the rock, and waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; is he able to give bread also, or provide flesh for his people?
²¹Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; and fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel:
²²Because they believed not in God, and confided not in his salvation;
²³Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of the heavens,
²⁴And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the corn of the heavens.
²⁵Man did eat the bread of the mighty; he sent them provision to the full.
²⁶He caused the east wind to rise in the heavens, and by his strength he brought the south wind;
²⁷And he rained flesh upon them as dust, and feathered fowl as the sand of the seas,
²⁸And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations:
²⁹And they did eat, and were well filled; for that they lusted after, he brought to them.
³⁰They were not alienated from their lust, their meat was yet in their mouths,
³¹When the anger of God went up against them; and he slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
³²For all this, they sinned still, and believed not in his marvellous works;
³³And he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror. (Psa. 78:14‑33)

;

Psa. 105:39‑45• ³⁹He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night.
⁴⁰They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
