Exodus 16

1 They took their journey from Palms (Elim), and all the congregation of the children of God Prevails (Israel) came to the Wilderness of Thorns (Wilderness of Sin), which is between Palms (Elim) and Thorny (Sinai), on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Double Straights (Egypt).

2 Then the whole congregation of the children of God Prevails (Israel) murmured against Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron) in the wilderness.

3 And the children of God Prevails (Israel) said to them, “Would to God we had died by the hand of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) in the land of Double Straights (Egypt), when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we ate bread to the full; for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”

4 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people will go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

5 On the sixth day they will prepare that which they bring in; and it will be twice as much as they gather daily.”

6 So Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron) said to all the children of God Prevails (Israel), “At evening, you will know that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has brought you out from the land of Double Straights (Egypt).

7 And in the morning, you will see the glory of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah). He hears your murmurings against I AM (the LORD, Yehovah): and what are we, that you murmur against us?”

8 Drawn (Moses) continued”, This will be. I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will give you flesh to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to the full. I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) hears your murmurings which you murmur against Him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).”

9 Then Drawn (Moses) spoke to Light Bringer (Aaron), “Say to all the congregation of the children of God Prevails (Israel), Come near before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah): for He has heard your murmurings.”

10 Then, as Light Bringer (Aaron) spoke to the whole congregation of the children of God Prevails (Israel), they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) appeared in the cloud.

11 And I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses), saying,

12 “I have heard the murmurings of the children of God Prevails (Israel): speak to them, saying, “At evening you will eat flesh, and in the morning you will be filled with bread; and you will know that I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God.”

13 At evening the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.

14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, all over the ground of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the white frost on the ground.

15 When the children of God Prevails (Israel) saw it, they said one to another, “What is it? (manna)”: for they did not know what it was. Drawn (Moses) said to them, “This is the bread which I AM (the LORD,Yehovah) has given you to eat.”

16 This is the thing which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has commanded, “Let every man gather a supply, an omer for every man, according to the number of your people household, take this for each person.”

17 And the children of God Prevails (Israel) did so, and gathered, some more, some less.

18 And when they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man for his food.

19 And Drawn (Moses) said, “Let no one leave of it till the morning.”

20 But they didn't listen to Drawn (Moses) and some of them left of it until morning. It bred worms, and stank and Drawn (Moses) was angry with them.

21 So they gathered it every morning, every man according to his needs: and when the sun became hot, it melted.

22 On the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Drawn (Moses).

23 He said to them, “This is what I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said. Tomorrow is the rest of the holy sabbath to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah): bake that which you will bake, and boil what you will boil; and that which remains over lay up to be kept until the morning.”

24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Drawn (Moses) directed: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.

25 And Drawn (Moses) said, “Eat that today; for today is a sabbath to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah). Today you will not find it in the field.

26 Six days you will gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there will be none.”

27 Yet some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, and they found none.

28 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said through Drawn (Moses), “How long will you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

29 See, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has given you the sabbath, therefore He gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide you every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.”

30 So the people rested on the seventh day.

31 And the house of God Prevails (Israel) called the name thereof What? (Manna). It was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.

32 Then Drawn (Moses) said, “This is what I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commands, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread which I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Double Straights (Egypt).”

33 Then Drawn (Moses) said to Light Bringer (Aaron), “Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), to be kept for your generations.”

34 As I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commanded Drawn (Moses), so Light Bringer (Aaron) laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

35 And the children of God Prevails (Israel) ate What? (manna) forty years, until they came to a land inhabited. They ate What? (manna), until they came to the borders of the land of Humbled One (Canaan).

36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.

* An omer is about 2 liters

Exodus 15

1 Then Drawn (Moses) and the children of God Prevails (Israel) sang this song to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), they chanted, “I will sing to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), for He has triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider has He thrown into the sea.

2 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) is my strength and song. He is My Salvation (Yeshuah): He is my God. I will celebrate Him! He is my father's God, and I will exalt Him.

3 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) is a man of war. I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) is His name.

4 The Great House's (Pharaoh) chariots and his host has He cast into the sea. His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.

5 The depths have covered them! They sank to the bottom as a stone.

6 Your right hand, O LORD, is glorious in power: Your right hand, O LORD, has dashed in pieces the enemy.

7 And in the greatness of Your excellency, You have overthrown them that rose up against You. You sent forth Your wrath, and consumed them as stubble.

8 With the blast of your nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust will be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand will destroy them.

10 You blew with Your wind and the sea covered them. They sank as lead in the mighty waters.

11 Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

12 You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them.

13 You in Your mercy have led forth the people which You have redeemed. You have guided them in your strength to Your holy habitation.

14 The people will hear, and be afraid. Sorrow will take hold on the inhabitants of Land of Wanderers (Palestina).

15 Then the dukes of Red (Edom) will be amazed. The mighty men of Of His Father (Moab), will be overcome with trembling. All the inhabitants of Humbled One (Canaan) will melt away.

16 Fear and dread will fall upon them. By the greatness of Your arm they will be as still as a stone; till Your people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which You have purchased.

17 You will bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which You have made for You to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.

18 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will reign for ever and ever.

19 For the horse of the Great House (Pharaoh) went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of God Prevails (Israel) went on dry land in the midst of the sea.”

20 And Rebellion (Miriam) the prophetess, the sister of Light Bringer (Aaron), took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

21 Rebellion (Miriam) echoed them, “Sing you to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider has He thrown into the sea.”

22 So Drawn (Moses) brought God Prevails (Israel) from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Wall (Shur); and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

23 When they came to Bitter (Marah), they could not drink of the waters of Bitter (Marah), for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Bitter (Marah).

24 The people murmured against Drawn (Moses), saying, “What will we drink?”

25 He cried to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah); and I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) showed him a tree, which when he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. Then He created for them a statute and an ordinance, and tested them,

26 And said, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) Your God, and will do that which is right in his sight, giving ear to his commandments, and keeping all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon you, which I have brought upon the Double Straighters (Egyptians): for I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) that heals you.

27 Then they came to Palms (Elim), where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.

Exodus 14

 1 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses) saying,

2 Speak to the children of God Prevails (Israel), tell them to turn and encamp before Where Sedge Grows (Pi-hahiroth), between Tower (Migdol) and the sea, over against Lord of the North (Baal-Zephon). Encamp before it by the sea.

3 The Great House (Pharaoh) will say of the children of God Prevails (Israel), They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has shut them in.

4 The Great House (Pharaoh) will harden his heart. He will follow after them; and I will be honored through the Great House (Pharaoh), and through all his host; that the Double Straighters (Egyptians) may know that I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).” And they did so.

5 The king of Double Straights (Egypt) was told that the people fled and the heart of the Great House (Pharaoh) and of his servants turned against the people. They said, “Why have we done this, that we have let God Prevails (Israel) go from serving us?”

6 He made ready his chariot, and took his people with him.

7 He took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Double Straights (Egypt), and captains over every one of them.

8 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) hardened the heart of the Great House (Pharaoh) king of Double Straights (Egypt), and he pursued after the children of God Prevails (Israel). For children of God Prevails (Israel) went out with a high hand.

9 But the Double Straighters (Egyptians) pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of the Great House (Pharaoh), and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Where Sedge Grows (Pi-hahiroth), before Lord of the North (Baal-Zephon).

10 When the Great House (Pharaoh) drew near, the children of God Prevails (Israel) lifted up their eyes, saw that the Double Straighters (Egyptians) marched after them. They were very afraid: and the children of God Prevails (Israel) cried out to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).

11 They said cried to Drawn (Moses), “Because there were no graves in Double Straights (Egypt), have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you dealt this way with us, to bring us out of Double Straights (Egypt)?

12 Did we not tell you in Double Straights (Egypt), Let us alone, that we may serve the Double Straighters (Egyptians)? For it had been better for us to serve the Double Straighters (Egyptians), than that we should die in the wilderness.”

13 Drawn (Moses) said to the people, “Fear not, stand still, and see the salvation of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), which He will show to you to day. The Double Straighters (Egyptians) whom you have seen to day, you will see again, no more, for ever.

14 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will fight for you, and you will hold your peace.”

15 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of God Prevails (Israel) and tell them to go forward.

16 Lift you up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it. The children of God Prevails (Israel) will go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

17 The hearts of the Double Straighters (Egyptians) will be hardened, and they will follow them. Through this I will get honor over the Great House (Pharaoh), and over all his host, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.

18 The Double Straighters (Egyptians) will know that I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), when I have gotten honor over the Great House (Pharaoh), over his chariots, and over his horsemen.”

19 The angel of God, which went before the camp of God Prevails (Israel) picked up and went behind them. The pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them.

20 It came between the camp of the Double Straighters (Egyptians) and the camp of God Prevails (Israel). It was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to the camp of God Prevails (Israel): so that the one did not come near the other all night.

21 Drawn (Moses) stretched out his hand over the sea; and I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night. The sea was made dry land, and the waters were divided.

22 And the children of God Prevails (Israel) went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

23 The Double Straighters (Egyptians) pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, all the Great House (Pharaoh)'s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

24 During the morning watch I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) looked out on the host of the Double Straighters (Egyptians) through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and moved noisely through the host of the Double Straighters (Egyptians),

25 Taking off their chariot wheels, slowing them down so that the Double Straighters (Egyptians) said, “Let us flee from the face of God Prevails (Israel); for I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) fights for them against the Double Straighters (Egyptians).”

26 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters will come again over the Double Straighters (Egyptians), over their chariots, and over their horsemen.

27 So Drawn (Moses) stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to it's usual strength by the dawing of the morning. The Double Straighters (Egyptians) fled from it. I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) overthrew the Double Straighters (Egyptians) in the midst of the sea.

28 The waters returned covering the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of the Great House (Pharaoh) that had come into the sea after them. Not one was left.

29 But the children of God Prevails (Israel) walked on dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

30 Thus I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) saved God Prevails (Israel) that day out of the hand of the Double Straighters (Egyptians); and God Prevails (Israel) saw the Double Straighters (Egyptians) dead on the sea shore.

31 God Prevails (Israel) saw that great work which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) did to the Double Straighters (Egyptians): and the people feared I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), and believed I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), and his servant Drawn (Moses).

Exodus 13

1 Then (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses), saying,

2 “Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatsoever opens the womb among the children of God Prevails (Israel) , both of man and of beast: it is Mine.”

3 So Drawn (Moses) said to the people, “Remember this day, in which you came out from Double Straights (Egypt), out of the house of bondage. For by strength of hand I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) brought you out from this place. Therefore there will no leavened bread be eaten.

4 This day you came out in the month Abib.

5 And it will be when I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will bring you into the land of the Humbled Ones (Canaanites), and the Terrors (Hittite), and the The Talkers, Sayers (Amorite), and the Villagers (Gibeonites were Hivites), and the Trodden Underfoot (Jebusite - original inhabitants of Jerusalem), which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you will keep this service in this month.

6 Seven days you will eat unleavened bread, and the seventh day will be a feast to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).

7 Unleavened bread will be eaten seven days. There will be no leavened bread seen with you, neither will there be leaven seen with you in all your quarters.

8 You will show your son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) did to me when I came out of Double Straights (Egypt).

9 It will be for a sign to you upon your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that I AM's (the LORD, Yehovah) law may be in your mouth. For with a strong hand I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has brought you out of Double Straights (Egypt).

10 You will therefore keep this ordinance in His season from year to year.

11 It will be when I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will bring you into the land of the Humbled Ones (Canaanites), as He swore to you and to your fathers, and will give it you,

12 That you will set apart to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) all that opens the womb, and every firstling that comes of a beast which you have; the males will be I AM's (the LORD, Yehovah).

13 And every firstling of an ass you will redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you will break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among your children will you redeem.

14 It will be when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What is this? that you will say to him, By strength of His hand I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) brought us out from Double Straights (Egypt), from the house of bondage.

15 When the Great House (Pharaoh) would not let us go, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) slew all the firstborn in the land of Double Straights (Egypt), both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast. Therefore I sacrifice to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) all males that open the womb, but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.

16 It will be for a token upon your hand, and for frontlets between your eyes: for by strength of hand I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) brought us forth out of Double Straights (Egypt).”

17 When the Great House (Pharaoh) had let the people go, that God did not lead them through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, “Lest the people repent when they see war, and they return to Double Straights (Egypt).”

18 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of God Prevails (Israel) went up in batttle array out of the land of Double Straights (Egypt).

19 And Drawn (Moses) took the bones of Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) with him: for he had strictly sworn the children of God Prevails (Israel) saying, “God will surely visit you; and you will carry up my bones away from here with you.”

20 They journeyed from Booths (Succoth), and encamped in Plowshare Fortess (Etham), at the edge of the wilderness.

21 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

22 He the pillar of the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night, were before the people always.
