¹⁶ And we cried to the Lord, and the Lord heard our voice, and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt; and now we are in the city of Cades, at the extremity of your coasts.

¹⁵ You shall surely restore his pledge at sunset, and he shall sleep in his garment, and he shall bless you; and it shall be mercy to you before the Lord your God.

⁶ And the Egyptians afflicted us, and humbled us, and imposed hard tasks on us: ⁷ and we cried to the Lord our God, and the Lord heard our voice, and saw our humiliation, and our labor, and our affliction.

¹¹ And the Lord said to the children of Israel, Did I not [save you] from Egypt and from the Amorite, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Phylistines, ¹² and from the Sidonians, and Amalec, and Madiam, who afflicted you? and you⌃ cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand?

⁹ And you saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and you heard their cry at the Red Sea.

⁶ His going forth is from the extremity of heaven, and his circuit to the [other] end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden from his heat.

⁶ I have said, You⌃ are gods; and all [of you] children of the Most High. ⁷ But you⌃ die as men, and fall as one of the princes.

⁷ For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Juda [his] beloved plant: I expected [it] to bring forth judgment, and it brought forth iniquity; and not righteousness, but a cry.

²⁰ And it shall be for a sign to the Lord for ever in the land of Egypt: for they shall presently cry to the Lord by reason of them that afflict them, and he shall send them a man who shall save them; he shall judge and save them.

¹⁴ And the nation whoever they shall serve I will judge; and after this, they shall come forth hither with much property. ¹⁵ But you shall depart to your fathers in peace, nourished in a good old age. ¹⁶ And in the fourth generation they shall return hither, for the sins of the Amorites are not yet filled up, even until now. ¹⁷ And when the sun was about to set, there was a flame, and behold a smoking furnace and lamps of fire, which passed between these divided pieces. ¹⁸ In that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, To your seed I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates.

⁷ And I will establish my covenant between you and your seed after you, to their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be your God, and [the God] of your seed after you.

¹⁸ But Abraam shall become a great and populous nation, and in him shall all the nations of the earth be blest.

³ And sojourn in this land; and I will be with you, and bless you, for I will give to you and to your seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to your father Abraam.

²⁴ And the Lord appeared to him in that night, and said, I am the God of Abraam your father; fear not, for I am with you, and I will bless you, and multiply your seed for the sake of Abraam your father.

¹² and dreamed, and behold a ladder fixed on the earth, whose top reached to heaven, and the angels of God ascended and descended on it. ¹³ And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of your father Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed. ¹⁴ And your seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in you and in your seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.

²⁸ And he said to him, Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; for you have prevailed with God, and shall be mighty with men.

² And God spoke to Israel in a night vision, saying, Jacob, Jacob; and he said, What is it? ³ And he says to him, I am the God of your fathers; fear not to go down into Egypt, for I will make you there a great nation. ⁴ And I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will bring you up at the end; and Joseph shall put his hands on your eyes.

⁵ And I listened to the groaning of the children of Israel (the affliction with which the Egyptians enslave them) and I remembered the covenant with you.

¹⁸ And because the Lord raised them up judges, so the Lord was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved at their groaning by reason of them that besieged them and afflicted them.

⁸ and you found his heart faithful before you, and did make a covenant with him to give to him and to his seed the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Jebusites, and Gergesites; and you have confirmed your words, for you [are] righteous. ⁹ And you saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and you heard their cry at the Red Sea.

²⁷ Then you gave them into the hand of them that afflicted them, and they did afflict them: and they cried to you in the time of their affliction, and you did hear them from your heaven, and in your great compassions gave them deliverers, and did save them from the hand of them that afflicted them. ²⁸ But when they rested, they did evil again before you: so you left them in the hands of their enemies, and they ruled over them: and they cried again to you, and you heard [them] from heaven, and did deliver them in your great compassions.

⁵ You has prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: you have thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and your cup cheers me like the best [wine].

¹¹ It sent forth its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the river.

²⁰ Bless the Lord, all you⌃ his angels, mighty in strength, who perform his bidding, [ready] to listen to the voice of his words.

⁶ We have sinned with our fathers, we have transgressed, we have done unrighteously. ⁷ Our fathers in Egypt understood not your wonders, and remembered not the multitude of your mercy; but provoked [him] as they went up by the Red Sea. ⁸ Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might cause his mighty power to be known. ⁹ And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: so he led them through the deep as through the wilderness. ¹⁰ And he saved them out of the hand of them that hated [them], and redeemed them out of the hand of the enemy. ¹¹ The water covered those that oppressed them: there was not one of them left. ¹² Then they believed his words, and celebrated his praise. ¹³ They made haste, they forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel.

⁴² Ands their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought down under their hands.

³ You have traced my path and my bed, and have foreseen all my ways.

⁸ And there arose up another king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.

⁷ And the Lord said to Moses, I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and I have heard their cry [caused] by their taskmasters; for I know their affliction. ⁸ And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land, and to bring them into a good and wide land, into a land flowing with milk and honey, into the place of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Gergesites, and Evites, and Jebusites.

³¹ and the people believed and rejoiced, because God visited the children of Israel, and because he saw their affliction: and the people bowed and worshipped.

¹¹ And she vowed a vow to the Lord, saying, O Lord God of Sabaoth, if you welt indeed look upon the humiliation of your handmaid, and remember me, and give to your handmaid a boy, then will I indeed dedicate him to you till the day of his death; and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and no razor shall come upon his head.

¹² If by any means the Lord may look on my affliction, thus shall he return me good for his cursing this day.

²⁷ Even then a man shall blame himself, saying, What kind of things have I done? and he has not punished me according to the full amount of my sins.

⁶ For the Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
