²¹ Then Saul said, "I have sinned! Come back, David my son, for I will not harm you again, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Look, I have acted like a fool and _⌊have made a terrible mistake_⌋."*

²⁰ For your servant knows that I have sinned; look, I have come this day as the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king."

³¹ "Indeed, does anyone say to God, 'I have endured chastisement; I will not act corruptly again; ³² teach me yourself _⌊what I cannot see_⌋;* if I have done wrong, I will not repeat it'?

¹³ He who conceals his transgression will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes will obtain mercy.

⁴ saying, "I have sinned by* betraying innocent blood!" But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it!"*

²⁸ Pray to Yahweh. The thunder of God and hail _⌊are enough_⌋,* and I will release you, and _⌊you will no longer have to stay_⌋."*

²⁵ So then, please pardon my sin and return with me _⌊so that I can worship_⌋* Yahweh."

⁶ Then the king responded and said to the man of God, "Please entreat the favor of Yahweh your God, and pray for me that my hand may return to me." So the man of God entreated the face of Yahweh, and the hand of the king returned to him, as it was in the beginning.

⁴⁰ They served the men to eat, but when they ate from the stew, they cried out and said, "There is death in the pot, O man of God!" They were not able to eat it.

¹⁶ Yahweh, in distress they have visited you; they poured out an _⌊incantation_⌋;* your discipline was on them.

²⁴ But Simon answered and* said, "You pray to the Lord for me so that nothing of what you have said will come upon me."

³⁰ Now I exhort you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to contend along with me in your prayers on my behalf to God,

¹⁰ who delivered us from so great a risk of death, and will deliver us, in whom we have put our hope that he will also deliver us again,

⁹ And Moses said to Pharaoh, "_⌊I leave to you the honor_⌋* over me. When shall I pray for you and for your servants and for your people to cut off the frogs from you and from your houses? They will be left only in the Nile."

²⁸ And Pharaoh said, "I myself will release you, and you will sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the desert. Only surely you must not go far. Pray for me." ²⁹ And Moses said, "Look, I am going out from you, and I will pray to Yahweh so that the flies depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow. Only let not Pharaoh again deceive us by not releasing the people to sacrifice to Yahweh." ³⁰ And Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to Yahweh.

⁴⁴ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

²⁸ bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

¹⁸ So God led the people around by the way of the desert to the _⌊Red Sea_⌋,* and the _⌊Israelites_⌋* went up in battle array from the land of Egypt.

⁴ The chariots of Pharaoh and his army he cast into the sea, and his choice adjutants were sunk in the _⌊Red Sea_⌋.*

²⁰ _⌊The northerners_⌋* I will remove from you; I will drive them to a desert and desolate land, its* front to the eastern sea, and its rear into the western sea; its stench and odor will rise up because he* has done great things.

²⁹ By faith they crossed the Red Sea as if on dry land; the Egyptians, _⌊when they made the attempt_⌋*, were drowned.

¹² And Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken to Moses.

¹⁰ And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not release the _⌊Israelites_⌋* from his land.

³⁰ But Sihon king of Heshbon was not willing to let us cross through his territory because Yahweh your God hardened his spirit and _⌊made him obstinate_⌋* _⌊in order to give him_⌋* into your hand, _⌊just as he has now done_⌋.*

⁹ And he said, "Go and say to this people,
'Keep on listening and do not comprehend! And keep on looking and do not understand!' ¹⁰ Make the heart of this people insensitive, and make its ears unresponsive, and shut its eyes so that it may not look with its eyes and listen with its ears and comprehend with its mind and turn back, and it may be healed for him."

³⁹ For this reason they were not able to believe, because again Isaiah said, ⁴⁰ "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they see with their* eyes and understand with their* hearts and turn, and I heal them."*

¹⁸ Consequently therefore, he has mercy on whomever he wishes, and he hardens whomever he wishes.

¹¹ And because of this, God sends them _⌊a powerful delusion_⌋* so that they will believe the lie, ¹² in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth, but delighted in unrighteousness.

²² And Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand to the heavens, and let there be hail in all the land of Egypt, on human and on animal and on all the vegetation of the field in the land of Egypt."

²⁹ And you shall be groping at noon just as the blind person gropes in the dark, and you shall not succeed in finding your way, and you shall only be abused and robbed _⌊all the time_⌋,* and there will not be _⌊anyone who will rescue you_⌋. *

⁶ Let their way be dark and slippery, with the angel of Yahweh pursuing them.

⁴⁹ He sent against them his fierce anger, rage and indignation and trouble, a band of _⌊destroying_⌋* angels.

²⁸ He sent darkness and made it dark, and they did not rebel against his words.

¹⁹ The way of the wicked ones is like deep darkness; they do not know what they stumble over.

¹⁴ _⌊The wise man can see where he is walking_⌋,* but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also realized that both of them suffer the same fate.

⁴ For he comes into vanity and departs into darkness, and his name is shrouded in darkness.

²¹ And it* will pass through it* distressed and hungry, and this shall happen: when it is hungry, it will be enraged, and it will curse its king and its gods,* and it will face upwar ²² or look to the earth. But look! Distress and darkness, the gloom of affliction! And it will be thrust into darkness!

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour, darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

³³ And when* the sixth hour came, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁴ And by this time it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour

⁴ For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but held them captive in Tartarus with chains of darkness and handed them over to be kept for judgment,

¹⁷ These people are waterless springs and mists driven by a hurricane, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved.

⁶ And the angels who did not keep to their own domain but deserted their proper dwelling place, he has kept in eternal bonds under deep gloom for the judgment of the great day,

¹³ wild waves of the sea foaming up their own shameful deeds, wandering stars, for whom the deep gloom of darkness has been reserved for eternity.

¹⁰ And the fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became darkened, and they began chewing their tongues because of the pain. ¹¹ And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and because of their sores, and they did not repent of their deeds.

²¹ And the people stood at a distance, and Moses approached the very thick cloud where God was.

¹¹ And so you came near, and you stood under the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire up to the heart of the heaven, _⌊dark with a very thick cloud_⌋.*

²² "These words Yahweh spoke to your whole assembly at the mountain from the midst of the fire and the very thick cloud with a loud voice, and _⌊he did not add anything_⌋,* and then he wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.

³¹ The sun will be changed to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh.

¹³ Yes, here is the one who forms the mountains, and the one who creates the wind, and the one who reveals to humans what his thoughts are, and the one who treads on the heights of the earth; Yahweh, the God of hosts, is his name!"

¹⁰ And the fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became darkened, and they began chewing their tongues because of the pain.

²² But on that day I will distinguish* the land of Goshen, where my people are staying, by there not being flies there, so that you will know that I am Yahweh in the midst of the land.

⁴ But Yahweh will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, and not a thing will die from all that belongs to the _⌊Israelites_⌋.'"*

²⁶ Only in the land of Goshen, where the _⌊Israelites_⌋* were, there was no hail.

²⁰ so that it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. And _⌊it was a dark cloud_⌋,* but it gave light to the night,* so that _⌊neither approached the other_⌋* all night.

⁷ They cried out to Yahweh, and he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and he brought the sea over them* and covered them; your own eyes saw what I did in Egypt. Then you lived in the wilderness for many days.

¹⁶ And I will lead the blind by a road they do not know; I will cause them to tread on paths they have not known. I will make darkness _⌊in their presence_⌋* into light and rough places into level ground. These are the things I will do, and I will not forsake them.

¹ "Arise, shine! For your light has come, and the glory of Yahweh has risen on you. ² For look! darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples, but* Yahweh will rise on you, and his glory will appear over you. ³ And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the bright light of your sunrise.

¹³ Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh:
"Look! My servants shall eat but* you, you shall be hungry. Look! My servants shall drink but* you, you shall be thirsty. Look! My servants shall rejoice but* you, you shall be ashamed. ¹⁴ Look! My servants shall shout _⌊for joy_⌋,* but* you, you shall cry out _⌊for pain_⌋* and howl _⌊for sadness_⌋.*

¹⁸ You will return and see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between the one who serves God and the one who does not serve him.

¹³ who has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us* to the kingdom of the Son _⌊he loves_⌋*,

⁹ But you are a chosen race,* a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's possession, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light,

²³ Will not their livestock and their property and all their animals be ours? Only let us give consent to them so they will live among us."

²⁸ And Pharaoh said, "I myself will release you, and you will sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the desert. Only surely you must not go far. Pray for me."

⁸ And Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, "Serve Yahweh your God. _⌊Who are the ones going_⌋?* ⁹ And Moses said, "With our young and with our old we will go; with our sons and with our daughters, with our sheep and goats and with our cattle we will go because it is the feast of Yahweh for us." ¹⁰ And he said to them, "Let Yahweh be thus with you as soon as I release you and your dependents.* See that evil is before your faces.

¹ "And this is the thing that you will do for them to consecrate them to serve as a priest for me: Take _⌊one young bull_⌋* and two rams without defect ² and unleavened bread and unleavened, ring-shaped bread cakes mixed with oil, and wafers of unleavened breads smeared with oil. You will make them with finely milled wheat flour, ³ and you will put them on one basket, and you will bring them on the basket and bring the bull and the two rams. ⁴ And you will bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of assembly, and you will wash them with water. ⁵ And you will take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic and the robe of the ephod, and you will fasten to him the ephod and the breast piece with the waistband of the ephod. ⁶ And you will set the turban on his head, and you will put the holy diadem on the turban. ⁷ And you will take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him. ⁸ And you will bring his sons and clothe them with tunics. ⁹ And you will gird Aaron and his sons with sashes and wrap headdresses on them. And priesthood will be theirs as a lasting rule, and _⌊you will ordain Aaron and his sons._⌋* ¹⁰ "And you will bring the bull before the tent of assembly, and Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on the head of the bull. ¹¹ And you will slaughter the bull before Yahweh at the entrance of the tent of assembly. ¹² And you will take some of the blood of the bull and with your finger put it on the horns of the altar, and you will pour out all the blood at the base of the altar. ¹³ And you will take and turn into smoke on the altar all the fat covering the inner parts and the lobe on the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them. ¹⁴ And the flesh of the bull and its skin and its offal you will burn with fire outside the camp; it is a sin offering. ¹⁵ "And you will take the one ram, and Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on the head of the ram. ¹⁶ And you will slaughter the ram and take its blood and sprinkle it on the altar all around. ¹⁷ And you will cut the ram into pieces and wash its inner parts, and you will put its legs with its pieces and with its head. ¹⁸ And you will turn into smoke on the altar all of the ram; it is a burnt offering for Yahweh; it is a smell of appeasement, an offering by fire for Yahweh. ¹⁹ "And you will take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on the head of the ram. ²⁰ And you will slaughter the ram and take some of its blood and put it on Aaron's right earlobe and on the right earlobe of his sons and on the thumb of their right hand and on _⌊the big toe_⌋* of their right foot, and you will sprinkle the blood at the base of the altar all around. ²¹ And you will take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and you will spatter it on Aaron and on his garments and on his sons and on his sons' garments with him, and he will be sacred, and his garments and his sons and his sons' garments with him. ²² And you will take from the ram the fat and the fat tail and the fat covering the inner parts and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them and the right thigh, because it is the ram of ordination. ²³ "And one loaf of bread and one ring-shaped bread cake of oiled bread and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that is before Yahweh— ²⁴ you will put them all on the palms of Aaron and on the palms of his sons, and you will wave them as a wave offering before Yahweh. ²⁵ And you will take them from their hand and turn them to smoke on the altar beside the burnt offering as a fragrance of appeasement before Yahweh; it is an offering made by fire before Yahweh. ²⁶ "And you will take the breast section from the ram of ordination that is for Aaron, and you will wave it as a wave offering before Yahweh. It will be your portion. ²⁷ And you will consecrate the wave offering breast section and the thigh of the contribution that was waved and that was presented* from the ram of the ordination that is for Aaron and for his sons. ²⁸ And it will be for* Aaron and for his sons as a lasting rule from the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* because it is a contribution, and it will be a contribution from the _⌊Israelites_⌋* from their sacrifices of fellowship, their contribution to Yahweh. ²⁹ "And the holy garments that are for Aaron will be for his sons after him in which to anoint them and _⌊to ordain them_⌋.* ³⁰ Seven days the priest who replaces him from among his sons will wear them, who comes to the tent of assembly to serve in the sanctuary. ³¹ And you will take the ram of ordination and boil its meat in a holy place. ³² And Aaron and his sons will eat the meat of the ram and the bread that is in the basket at the entrance of the tent of assembly. ³³ And they will eat them—the things by which atonement was made for them to ordain them to consecrate them—and a stranger will not eat them because they are holy objects. ³⁴ If any remains until morning from the ordination meat or from the bread, you will burn the remainder in fire; it will not be eaten, because it is a holy object. ³⁵ And you will do so for Aaron and for his sons, according to all that I have commanded you; seven days you will ordain them. ³⁶ "And you will offer a bull for a sin offering every day for the atonement; and you will offer a sin offering on the altar* when you make atonement for it, and you will anoint it to consecrate it. ³⁷ Seven days you will make atonement for the altar, and you will consecrate it, and the altar will be _⌊a most holy thing_⌋.* _⌊Anyone who_⌋* touches the altar will be holy. ³⁸ "And this is what you shall offer on the altar: Two _⌊one-year-old_⌋* male lambs _⌊every day_⌋* continually. ³⁹ The first lamb you will offer in the morning, and the second lamb you will offer _⌊at twilight_⌋.* ⁴⁰ And a tenth of finely milled flour mixed with a fourth of a hin of beaten oil, and a fourth of a hin of wine as a libation with the first lamb. ⁴¹ And the second lamb you will offer _⌊at twilight_⌋;* you will offer a grain offering and its libation like that of the morning for a fragrance of appeasement, an offering made by fire for Yahweh. ⁴² It will be a burnt offering of continuity throughout your generations at the entrance of the tent of assembly before Yahweh, where I will meet with you to speak to you there. ⁴³ "And I will meet with the _⌊Israelites_⌋* there, and it will be consecrated by my glory. ⁴⁴ And I will consecrate the tent of assembly and the altar, and Aaron and his sons I will consecrate to serve as priests for me. ⁴⁵ And I will dwell in the midst of the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* and I will be their God. ⁴⁶ And they will know that I am Yahweh, their God, who brought them out from the land of Egypt in order to dwell in their midst. I am Yahweh their God.

¹ And Bezalel and Oholiab and everyone who is skilled of heart in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and skill to know and to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary—they will do it, according to all that Yahweh has commanded." ² And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and everyone skilled of heart, in whose heart Yahweh had put skill, all whose heart lifted him to come near to the work in order to do it. ³ And they took from Moses all the contributions* that the _⌊Israelites_⌋* had brought for the work of the service for the sanctuary in order to do it, and they still brought to him voluntary offerings _⌊every morning_⌋.* ⁴ And all the skilled workers who were doing all the work for the sanctuary came, _⌊each_⌋* from his work that they were doing. ⁵ And they said to Moses, saying, "The people are _⌊bringing more_⌋* than enough for the service of the work that Yahweh has commanded _⌊to be done_⌋."* ⁶ And Moses commanded, and they _⌊proclaimed the message_⌋* in the camp, saying, "Let no man or woman again make anything for the sanctuary contribution." And so the people were restrained from bringing. ⁷ And the material was enough for doing all the work, and it was left over. ⁸ And all who were skilled of heart among the doers of the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue and purple and crimson yarns, with cherubim; he made them, the work of a skilled craftsman. ⁹ The length of the one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width was four cubits for the one curtain; one measurement was for all the curtains. ¹⁰ And he joined five of the curtains _⌊one to another_⌋,* and five curtains he joined _⌊one to another_⌋.* ¹¹ And he made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, at the end in the set; so he did on the edge of the end curtain in the second set. ¹² He made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the end of the curtain that was in the second set; the loops were opposite* _⌊one to another_⌋.* ¹³ And he made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains _⌊one to another_⌋* with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was one. ¹⁴ And he made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made them eleven curtains. ¹⁵ The length of the one curtain was thirty cubits, and the width was four cubits for the one curtain; one measure was for the eleven curtains. ¹⁶ And he joined five curtains together and six curtains together. ¹⁷ And he made fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain in the set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set. ¹⁸ And he made fifty bronze clasps for joining the tent to become one. ¹⁹ And he made a covering for the tent of red-dyed ram skin and a covering of fine leather to go above. ²⁰ And he made the frames* for the tabernacle of acacia wood as uprights.* ²¹ The length of the frame* was ten cubits, and the width of the one frame* was one and a half cubits. ²² He made two _⌊pegs_⌋* for the one frame* for joining _⌊one to another_⌋* and likewise for all the frames* of the tabernacle. ²³ And he made the frames* for the tabernacle with twenty frames* for the south* side. ²⁴ And he made forty silver bases under the twenty frames,* with two bases under the one frame* for its two _⌊pegs_⌋* and two bases under the _⌊next_⌋* frame* for its two _⌊pegs_⌋.* ²⁵ And for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames* ²⁶ and their forty silver bases, with two bases under the one frame* and two bases under the _⌊next_⌋* frame.* ²⁷ And for the rear of the tabernacle _⌊on the west_⌋* he made six frames.* ²⁸ And he made two frames* for the tabernacle corners at the rear. ²⁹ And they were double at the bottom, and they were completely together on its top to the one ring; he did likewise for the two of them, for the two corners. ³⁰ And there were eight frames* and their sixteen silver bases, two bases, two bases under the one frame.* ³¹ And he made five bars of acacia wood for the frames* on the one side of the tabernacle, ³² and five bars for the frames* on the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames* at the rear _⌊on the west_⌋.* ³³ And he made the middle bar to run in the midst of the frames* from end to end. ³⁴ And he overlaid the frames* with gold, and he made their rings of gold as _⌊holders_⌋* for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold. ³⁵ And he made the curtain of blue and purple and crimson yarns and finely twisted linen, the work of a craftsman; he made it with cherubim. ³⁶ And he made for it four acacia pillars, and he overlaid them with gold, with their gold hooks, and he cast for them four silver bases. ³⁷ And he made for the entrance of the tent a screen of blue and purple and crimson yarns and finely twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer, ³⁸ and the five pillars and their hooks, and he overlaid their tops and their connections with gold, and their five bases were bronze.

²² Then* Aaron lifted his hand toward* the people, and he blessed them, and he came down _⌊after_⌋* _⌊sacrificing_⌋* the sin offering and the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings.

⁹ And Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot for Yahweh fell, and he shall _⌊sacrifice_⌋* it as a sin offering.

³² Take both your sheep and goats as well as your cattle, and go, and bless also me."

¹⁸ And this shall happen:
her merchandise and her harlot's wages will be set apart for Yahweh;
it will not be stored up, and it will not be hoarded, but her merchandise will be for those who live before the _⌊presence_⌋* of Yahweh, for eating to satiation and for fine clothing.

⁵ Then you shall see and you shall be radiant; and your heart shall tremble and open itself wide, because the abundance of the sea shall fall upon you; the wealth of the nations shall come to you. ⁶ A multitude of camels shall cover you, the young male camels of Midian and Ephah. All those from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and frankincense, and they shall proclaim the praise of Yahweh. ⁷ All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you; the rams of Nebaioth shall serve you. They shall present a sacrifice for favor on my altar, and I will glorify _⌊my honorable house_⌋.* ⁸ Who are these? They fly like a cloud, and like doves to their coops. ⁹ Because the coastlands wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish are first to bring your children from afar, their silver and gold with them, for the name of Yahweh your God, and for the holy one of Israel, because he has glorified you. ¹⁰ And _⌊foreigners_⌋* shall build your walls, and their kings shall serve you, for in my anger I struck you, but* in my favor I have taken pity on you.

⁶ With their flocks* and herds* they will go to seek Yahweh, but they will not find him; he has withdrawn from them.

²⁰ On that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, "Holy to Yahweh." And the cooking pots in the house* of Yahweh will be holy like the sacrificial basins* before the altar.

⁴⁴ And all who believed were in the same place, and had everything in common. ⁴⁵ And they began selling* their* possessions and property, and distributing these things to all, to the degree that anyone had need.

⁵ and not just as we had hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us, by the will of God.

⁸ By faith Abraham, when he* was called, obeyed to go out to a place that he was going to receive for an inheritance, and he went out, not knowing where he was going.

¹ And Yahweh said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh, for I have made his heart _⌊insensitive_⌋* and the heart of his servants in order to put these signs of mine in his midst,

²⁰ And Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not release the _⌊Israelites_⌋.*

⁴ And I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, and he will chase after them, and I will be glorified through Pharaoh and through all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh." And they did so.

⁸ And Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and he chased after the _⌊Israelites_⌋.* (Now the _⌊Israelites_⌋* were going out _⌊boldly_⌋.*)

²⁰ And the rest of humanity who were not killed by these plagues did not repent of the works of their hands, _⌊in order not to worship_⌋* the demons and the gold and silver and bronze and stone and wooden idols, which are able neither to see nor to hear nor to walk,

¹⁰ Then Asa was angry with the seer and put him in _⌊the prison_⌋,* for he was enraged with him concerning this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at that time.

¹⁶ And it happened that while he was speaking to him, he said to him, "Have we appointed you as a counselor to the king? Stop—_⌊why should you be killed_⌋?"* So the prophet stopped and said, "I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my advice."

¹³ But do not prophesy again at Bethel, because this is a sanctuary of a king and this is a temple of a kingdom."

⁴ And Moses said, "Thus says Yahweh, 'About the middle of the night I will go out through the midst of Egypt, ⁵ and every firstborn in the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne to the firstborn of the slave woman who is behind the pair of millstones and every firstborn animal.* ⁶ And there will be a great cry of distress in all the land of Egypt, the like of which has not been nor will be again.* ⁷ But against all the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* from a man to an animal, a dog will not even _⌊bark_⌋,* so that you will know that Yahweh makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.' ⁸ And all of these your servants will come down to me and bow to me, saying, 'Go out, you and all the people who are at your feet.' And afterward I will go out." And he went out from Pharaoh _⌊in great anger_⌋.*
