⁹ upon which Moses said to Joshua, Select for thyself able men and go out and draw up in array to-morrow against Amalek; when lo I have stood on the top of that hill with the staff of God in my hand.

³ with her two sons, of whom the name of one was Gersam; for he said, I was a stranger in a strange land; ⁴ and the name of the other Eliezar; for the God of my fathers, said he, hath been my help, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Pharao]

⁸ Take thy staff, and assemble the congregation, thou, and Aaron thy brother; and speak to that rock before them, and it will give its water. And you shall bring water for them from that rock, and give drink to the congregation, and their cattle. ⁹ So Moses took the staff which was before the Lord, as the Lord commanded.

¹¹ Then Moses lifted up his hand, and smote the rock twice with the staff, and there gushed out much water, so that the congregation, and their cattle, drank.

³ then the Lord God said, "My breath must not continue in these men to this age, because they are flesh; their days however, shall be an hundred and twenty years."

²⁰ Therefore I will stretch forth my hand and smite the Egyptians with all my wonders which I will do among them. And after these he will dismiss you.

³ But I will let Pharao's heart be stubborn, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.

¹³ yet Pharao's heart was stubborn and he hearkened not to them to do as the Lord commanded them.

¹² But the Lord made Pharao's heart stubborn and he hearkened not to them as the Lord commanded.

³⁵ And when Pharao's heart was inflexible and he would not let the people go as the Lord had said to Moses,

²⁰ But the Lord suffered Pharao's heart to be stubborn so that he did not let the Israelites go.

⁴ And I will make Pharao's heart stout, so that he will pursue them, and I shall be glorified by Pharao and by all his army. And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. Accordingly the Israelites did so.

⁸ for the Lord had emboldened the heart of Pharao king of Egypt and of his attendants: he pursued the Israelites. Though the Israelites had gone out with a high hand,

³⁰ But Seon, king of Esebon, would not consent that we should pass by him, for the Lord our God had emboldened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might be delivered into thy hands, as at this day. ³¹ Then the Lord said to me, Behold I have begun to deliver up before thee Seon, king of Esebon, the Amorite, and his land. Begin therefore to take possession of his land. ³² So Seon, king of Esebon, came out to meet us, he and all his people, to battle at Jassa. ³³ And the Lord our God delivered him up before us. And we smote him and his sons, and all his people,

³⁶ From Aroer, which is on the banks of the brook Arnon, including the city in the vale, even to mount Galaad, there was not a city which escaped us. The Lord our God delivered them all into our hands.

²⁰ For the Lord permitted them to assume courage to come to battle with Israel, that they might be utterly destroyed, that no mercy might be shewn them; but that they might be utterly destroyed, as the Lord commanded Moses.

²² And the Lord said to him, How? And he said, I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt deceive him and actually prevail. Go and do so.

²⁵ and had turned their hearts to hate his people, to deal deceitfully with his servants;

¹⁰ for the heart of this people is stupefied; and their ears are dull of hearing; and they have shut their eyes, that for a while they may not see with their eyes; and hear with their ears; and understand with their hearts; and return that I may heal them.

¹⁷ why, O Lord hast thou suffered us to wander from thy way, and our hearts to be hardened so as not to fear thee? Return for the sake of thy servants; for the sake of the tribes of thy heritage,

⁴⁰ He hath blinded their eyes, and stupified their hearts, so that they saw not with their eyes, nor understood with their heart, nor turned that I might heal them.

²⁸ And as they did not search out God to have constantly a due sense of him, God gave them up to an undiscerning mind to do things unseemly,

¹⁸ Well then, he sheweth mercy to whom he pleaseth, and hardeneth whom he pleaseth,

⁸ As it is written, "God hath given them a spirit of stupefaction, eyes not to see and ears not to hear even to this day." ⁹ And David saith, "Let their table be for a snare and for a trap, and for a stumbling block, and for a retribution to them. ¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened that they may not see, And bow down their neck continually."

¹⁶ [to these indeed an odour of death for death, but to those an odour of life for life] who therefore is sufficient for this?

¹⁰ and with all the deceit of this unrighteousness among them who perish. Because they did not embrace the love of the truth that they might be saved; ¹¹ for this cause therefore God will send them the energy of delusion, that they may believe this falsehood; ¹² that all may be condemned who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.

⁸ is indeed a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence. They disbelieving the word stumble at the thing for which they were laid:

⁵ Now therefore if you will hearken diligently to my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be to me a peculiar people above all the nations; for the whole earth is mine: ⁶ but as for you, you shall be a royal priesthood and a holy nation. These words thou shalt deliver to the children of Israel.

¹ You are the children of the Lord your God; you shall not make a baldness between your eyes for the dead.

¹⁶ For thou art our father. Because Abraham knoweth us not, and Israel hath not acknowledged us; do thou, Lord, our father, do thou deliver us. From the beginning thy name is upon us;

⁸ But now, Lord, thou art our father. Though we are clay, we are all the works of thy hands:

⁹ They set out with weeping; but I will bring them up with consolation, causing them to rest at fountains of water in a straight road; and in it they shall not be led astray, for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first born.

¹ [p] Early in the morning they have been rejected! the king of Israel is cast off! [J] When Israel was young I loved him, and I called his children out of Egypt.

⁴ who are Israelites, to whom belonged the adoption and the glory, and the covenants, and the civil government, and the religious service, and the promises;

¹⁸ and be to you a father, and you shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."

²³ to the general assembly and congregation of first born, enrolled in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

¹ And after this Moses went in with Aaron to Pharao and they said to him, Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel, Let my people go that they may keep a festival for me in the wilderness.

¹⁶ and say to him, The Lord the God of the Hebrews hath sent to thee saying, Send away my people that they may serve me in the wilderness, and behold thou hast not hearkened hitherto.

⁵ and every first born in the land of Egypt shall die: from the first born of Pharao who sitteth on the throne, to the first born of the female slave who is at the grinding mill, including also the first born of all the cattle.

²⁹ And when they had so done, it came to pass that at midnight the Lord smote all the first born in the land of Egypt, from the first born of Pharao, who sat on the throne to the first born of the captive in the dungeon, and even the first born of all the cattle.

⁵¹ and smote every first born in the land of Egypt; the first fruits of their labours in the tents of Cham;

³⁶ Then he smote every first born of their land; the first fruits of all their labour;

⁸ who smote the first born of Egypt: the first born both of man and beast.

¹⁴ And with regard to the uncircumcised male, the flesh of whose foreskin shall not be circumcised on the eighth day, that soul shall be cut off from its family, because it hath broken my covenant."

²⁷ And one of them having loosed his bag to give his asses provender at a place where they lodged saw his roll of money, for it was in the mouth of his bag,

³ Whereupon Moses said to Aaron, This is what the Lord spoke, saying, I will be hallowed by them who come near me, and glorified by all the congregation; and Aaron was pierced with anguish.

²² And God was angry, because he went of himself to him; and the angel of God arose to stop him on the way. Now he was mounted on his ass, and had two servants with him. ²³ And when the ass saw the angel of God standing opposite, in the way, with a drawn sword in his hand, the ass turned aside out of the way into the field; at which he struck the ass with his staff, to turn her into the road.

²⁴ And a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his body was cast in the highway and the ass stood by it. The lion also stood by the body.

¹⁶ And when David raised his eyes and saw the angel of the Lord standing between the earth and heaven, with a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem, he and all the elders being clad in sackcloth, fell on their faces,

⁸ I will meet them as a bear bereaved of her cubs, and rend the covering of their heart; and the young lions of the forest shall there devour them; and the beasts of the field shall tear them to pieces.

² And at that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make thee stone knives of the hardest flint, and having again a fixed abode, circumcise the children of Israel. ³ So Joshua made sharp knives of stone, and circumcised the children of Israel at the place called Hill of foreskins.

⁷ And in this manner Semei expressed himself when he cursed him, Out! Out! thou man of blood! thou miscreant!

¹¹ And Jacob kissed Rachel, and raising his voice he wept

¹⁴ Whereupon the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses and he said, Lo! is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well for thee. And lo! he will come out to meet thee, and when he shall see thee he will be rejoiced. ¹⁵ Thou therefore shalt speak to him and commit my words to his mouth. And I will open thy mouth and his mouth and teach you what you shall do. ¹⁶ He shall speak to the people for thee and he shall be thy mouth and thou shalt be to him as the Oracle of God.

³ Moses went up to the mount of God. And God called to him out of the mount and said, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and announce to the children of Israel;

¹⁸ And all the people looked towards the thunder and the lightnings and the sound of the trumpet and the mount which was smoking; and all the people being struck with terror stood at a distance.

¹⁵ Moses then went up with Joshua to the mount and the cloud covered the mount. ¹⁶ And the glory of God descended on mount Sina and the cloud covered it six days; and on the seventh day the Lord called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. ¹⁷ Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like fire blazing on the top of the mount in the view of the Israelites;

⁸ So he arose and ate and drank, and in the strength of that meal travelled forty days and forty nights till he came to mount Choreb,

⁹ two are better than one. They have a better reward for their labour.

⁵ Now therefore send men to Joppa and call for Simon who is surnamed Peter. ⁶ He lodgeth with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.

²⁰ Arise therefore, get thee down and go with them, without any cavilling, for I have sent them.

⁸ Now if they will not believe thee nor hearken to the voice of the first sign, they will believe thee at the voice of the second sign. ⁹ But if they will not believe thee for these two signs, nor hearken to thy voice, thou shalt take some of the water of the river and pour it out on the dry ground; and the water which thou shalt take from the river shall be blood on the ground.

² " Arise and go to Ninive that great city, and proclaim in it according to the former proclamation which I spoke to thee."

¹⁶ Go therefore and assemble the Senate of the children of Israel and say to them, The Lord, the God of our fathers hath appeared to me, even the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaak, and the God of Jacob saying, With watchfulness I have observed you and all that hath befallen you in Egypt.

¹ Then the Lord said to Moses, Come up to the Lord, thou and Aaron and Nadab and Abiud and seventy of the elders of Israel; and let them at a distance worship the Lord;

¹¹ And of these chosen men of Israel not one uttered a dissenting voice. Now when they had appeared in the presence of God and had eaten and drunk

¹⁶ He shall speak to the people for thee and he shall be thy mouth and thou shalt be to him as the Oracle of God.

³ Whereupon Abram fell on his face, and God spake to him saying,

²⁶ Then the man being satisfied, worshipped the Lord

²⁵ And God looked upon the Israelites and was made known to them.

⁷ And the Lord said to Moses, I have indeed seen the affliction of my people in Egypt and have heard their cry on the account of their task masters; for I know their sorrow,

²⁷ then you shall say to them, It is the sacrifice of the Passover of the Lord; because he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. Upon which the people bowed down and worshipped;

²⁰ Then David said to all the congregation, Bless ye the Lord our God. And all the congregation blessed the Lord the God of their fathers, and with bended knees made a reverence to the Lord and to the king.

¹⁸ Thereupon Josaphat bowed down on his face, and while all the chiefs of Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem prostrated themselves before the Lord to worship him,

¹² Though they believed his words, though they sang his praise; ¹³ they soon forgot his works, they waited not for his counsel.

⁶⁸ Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; because he hath visited and delivered his people.

¹³ By the rocky ground are meant those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy; but not having it rooted in them, they are but temporary believers, and in time of trial apostatise.
