Exodus 20

1 God ('Elohiym) spoke all these words, saying,

2 “I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym), which have brought you out of the land of Double Straights (Egypt), out of the house of bondage.

3 You will have no other gods ('elohiym) before me.

4 You will not make to you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

5 You will not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them: for I, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God ('Elohiym) am a jealous god ('el), visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

6 And showing mercy to thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

7 You will not take the name of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God ('Elohiym) in vain; for I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain.

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9 Six days will you labor, and do all your work:

10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God ('Elohiym): in it you will not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates:

11 For in six days I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: therefore I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12 Honor your father and your mother: that your days may be long upon the land which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God ('Elohiym) gives you.

13 You will not murder.

14 You will not commit adultery.

15 You will not steal.

16 You will not bear false witness against your neighbor.

17 You will not covet your neighbor's house, you will not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is your neighbor's.”

18 Then all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they backed up, and stood afar off.

19 And they said to Drawn (Moses), “You speak with us, and we will hear: but let not God ('Elohiym) speak with us, lest we die.”

20 Drawn (Moses) exhorted the people, “Fear not: for God ('Elohiym) comes to prove you, and that His reverence may be before your faces, that you sin not.”

21 So the people stood afar off, and Drawn (Moses) drew near to the thick darkness where God ('Elohiym) was.

22 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Thus you will say to the children of God Prevails (Israel), you have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

23 you will not make gods ('elohiym) of silver, neither will you make gods ('elohiym) of gold.

24 An altar of earth you will make to Me, and will sacrifice thereon your burnt offerings, and your peace offerings, your sheep, and your oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come to you, and I will bless you.

25 And if you will make Me an altar of stone, you will not build it of hewn stone: for if you lift up your tool upon it, you have polluted it.

26 Neither will you go up by steps to mine altar, that your nakedness be not discovered thereon.”

Exodus 19

1 In the third month, when the children of God Prevails (Israel) had left the land of Double Straights (Egypt), they came into the Wilderness of Thorns (Wilderness of Sinai).

2 They departed from Spreading Support ( Rephidim), and came to the desert of Thorny (Sinai), and had pitched in the wilderness. There God Prevails (Israel) camped before the mount.

3 Drawn (Moses) went up to God, and I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) called to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus will you say to the house of Heel-Grabber (Jacob), and tell the children of God Prevails (Israel);

4 You have seen what I did to the Double Straighters (Egyptians) How I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you to Myself.

5 Now therefore, if you will obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you will be a peculiar treasure to Me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

6 And you will be to Me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which you will speak to the children of God Prevails (Israel).”

7 So, Drawn (Moses) came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commanded him.

8 And all the people answered together saying, “All that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has spoken we will do.” Then Drawn (Moses) returned the words of the people to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).

9 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Look, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever.” And Drawn (Moses) told the words of the people to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).

10 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Go to the people, and sanctify them to day and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes,

11 And be ready for the third day. On the third day I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will come down in the sight of all the people on mount Thorny (Sinai).

12 Set boundaries for the people round about, saying, “Take heed to yourselves, don't go up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever touches the mount will be surely put to death:

13 There will not an hand touch it, but he will surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it will not live: when the trumpet sounds long, they will come up to the mount.”

14 Then Drawn (Moses) went down from the mount to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

15 He said to the people, “Be ready for the third day: come not at your wives.”

16 On the third day in the morning, there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet was exceedingly loud; so that all the people in the camp trembled.

17 Drawn (Moses) brought the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

18 Then Mount Thorny (Sinai) began to smoke, because I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) descended upon it in fire. The smoke ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.

19 When the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and became louder and louder, Drawn (Moses) spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

20 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) came down on Mount Thorny (Sinai), on the top of the mount. I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) called Drawn (Moses) up to the top of the mount, so Drawn (Moses) went up.

21 I AM (the LORD,Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) to gaze, and many of them perish.

22 And let the chief rulers also, which come near to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), sanctify themselves, lest I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) break forth upon them.”

23 Drawn (Moses) said to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), “The people cannot come up to Mount Thorny (Sinai): for You charged us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.”

24 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) answered him, “Away, get you down, and you will come up, you, and Light Bringer (Aaron) with you: but let not chief rulers and the people break through to come up to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), lest he break forth upon them.”

25 So Drawn (Moses) went down to the people, and spoke to them.

Exodus 18

1 When His Abundance (Jethro), the priest of Strife (Midian), Drawn's (Moses) father in law, heard of all that God ('Elohiym) had done for Drawn (Moses), and for God Prevails (Israel) his people, and that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had brought God Prevails (Israel) out of Double Straights (Egypt);

2 Then His Abundance (Jethro), Drawn's (Moses) father in law, took A Little Bird (Zipporah), Drawn's (Moses) wife, after he had sent her back,

3 And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Exile (Gershom). For he said, “I have been an alien in a strange land.”

4 And the name of the other was God is Help (Eliezer). “For the God ('Elohiym) of my father”, he said, “was my help, and delivered me from the sword of the Great House (Pharaoh).”

5 His Abundance (Jethro), Drawn's (Moses) father in law, came with his sons and his wife to Drawn (Moses) into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God ('Elohiym):

6 He sent a message to Drawn (Moses), “I, your father in law His Abundance (Jethro), have come to you, and your wife, and her two sons with her.”

7 So Drawn (Moses) went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him. They asked each other of their welfare. Then they went into the tent.

8 Drawn (Moses) told his father in law all that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had done to the Great House (Pharaoh) and to the Double Straighters (Egyptians) for God Prevails (Israel)'s sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) delivered them.

9 And His Abundance (Jethro) rejoiced for all the goodness which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had done for God Prevails (Israel), whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Double Straighters (Egyptians).

10 His Abundance (Jethro) said, “Blessed be I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), who has delivered you out of the hand of the Double Straighters (Egyptians), and out of the hand of the Great House (Pharaoh), who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Double Straighters (Egyptians).

11 Now I know that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly He was above them.”

12 Then His Abundance (Jethro), Drawn's (Moses) father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God ('Elohiym): and Light Bringer (Aaron) came, and all the elders of God Prevails (Israel), to eat bread with Drawn's (Moses) father in law before God ('Elohiym).

13 The next day, Drawn (Moses) sat to judge the people: and the people waited for Drawn (Moses) from the morning to the evening.

14 And when Drawn's (Moses) father in law saw all that he did for the people, he said, “What is all this that you do for the people? Why do you sit all alone, and all the people come to you from morning to evening?”

15 Drawn (Moses) answered his father in law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God.

16 When they have a matter, they come to me; and I judge between one and another, and I make them know the statutes of God, and His laws.”

17 And Drawn's(Moses) father in law said to him, “The thing that you do is not good.

18 You will surely wear away, both you, and the people that are with you: for this thing is too heavy for you; you are not able to perform it yourself alone.”

19 Listen to my voice, I will give you counsel, and God ('Elohiym) will be with you. Intercede for the people before God ('Elohiym), that you may bring the causes to God ('Elohiym):

20 Teach them ordinances and laws, and show them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.

21 Moreover pick out of all the people able men, such as fear God ('Elohiym), men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

22 And let them judge the people in all seasons: and it will be, that every great matter they will bring to you, but every small matter they will judge: so will it be easier for thyself, and they will bear the burden with you.

23 If you will do this thing, and God ('Elohiym) commands you so, then you will be able to endure, and all these people will also go to their place in peace.”

24 So Drawn (Moses) listened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.

25 And Drawn (Moses) chose able men out of all God Prevails (Israel), and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

26 And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard cases they brought to Drawn (Moses), but every small matter they judged themselves.

27 Then Drawn (Moses) let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.

Exodus 17

1 All the congregation of the children of God Prevails (Israel) set out from the Wilderness of Thorns (Wilderness of Sin), breaking camp according to the commandment of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah). They then pitched in Spreading Support ( Rephidim) but there was no water for the people to drink.

2 Therefore the people strove with Drawn (Moses), and said, “Give us water that we may drink.” But Drawn (Moses) said to them, “Why complain to me? Why do you tempt I AM (the LORD, Yehovah)?”

3 And the people thirsted there for water and they murmured against Drawn (Moses) saying, “Why is it that you have brought us up out of Double Straights (Egypt), to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?”

4 So Drawn (Moses) cried to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) saying, “What do I do wth this people? They are almost ready to stone me.”

5 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) answered Drawn (Moses), “Go on before the people. Take with you of the elders of God Prevails (Israel) and your rod, with which you struck the river, take in your hand, and go.

6 I will stand before you there upon the rock in Desert (Horeb). You will hit the rock and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” So Drawn (Moses) did so in the sight of the elders of God Prevails (Israel).

7 He called the name of the place Temptation (Massah), and Place of Strife (Meribah), because of the chiding of the children of God Prevails (Israel), and because they tempted I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), saying, “Is I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) among us, or not?”

8 Then Licker (Amalek) came and fought with God Prevails (Israel) in Spreading Support ( Rephidim).

9 Drawn (Moses) said to I AM is Salvation (Joshua), “Choose men for us to go fight with Licker (Amalek). Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God ('Elohiym) in mine hand.

10 So I AM is Salvation (Joshua) did as Drawn (Moses) had said to him, and fought with Licker (Amalek): and Drawn (Moses), Light Bringer (Aaron), and Cavern (Hur) went up to the top of the hill.

11 When Drawn (Moses) held up his hand, God Prevails (Israel) prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Licker (Amalek) prevailed.

12 But Drawn's (Moses) hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat there; and Light Bringer (Aaron) and Cavern (Hur) stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side so his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

13 And I AM is Salvation (Joshua) discomfited Licker (Amalek) and his people with the edge of the sword.

14 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Wris for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of I AM is Salvation (Joshua): for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Licker (Amalek) from under heaven.”

15 So Drawn (Moses) built an altar, and called the name of it I AM is My Banner (Jehovahnissi – Yehovah Nissi):

16 For he said, “Because I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has sworn that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will have war with Licker (Amalek) from generation to generation.”

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).
