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 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.

Exodus 11

1 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “I will bring one more plague upon the Great House (Pharaoh), and upon Double Straights (Egypt); afterwards he will let you go. When he lets you go, he will thrust you out altogether.

2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.”

3 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) gave the people favor in the sight of the Double Straighters (Egyptians). Moreover the man Drawn (Moses) was very great in the land of Double Straights (Egypt), in the sight of the Great House (Pharaoh)'s servants, and in the sight of the people.

4 Drawn (Moses) said, “Thus says I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), About midnight will I go out into the midst of Double Straights (Egypt):

5 And all the firstborn in the land of Double Straights (Egypt) shall die, from the firstborn of the Great House (Pharaoh) that sits upon his throne, even to the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.

6 There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Double Straights (Egypt), such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.

7 But against any of the children of God Prevails (Israel) shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that you may know how that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) puts a difference between the Double  (Egyptians) and God Prevails (Israel).

8 All these your servants shall come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, Get you out, and all the people that follow you: and after that I will go out.” And he went out from the Great House (Pharaoh) in a great anger.

9 And I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “The Great House (Pharaoh) will not listen to you and My wonders will be multiplied in the land of Double Straights (Egypt).”

10 Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron) did all these wonders before the Great House (Pharaoh): and I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) hardened the Great House (Pharaoh)'s heart. He would not let the children of God Prevails (Israel) go out of his land.

Exodus 10

1 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Go in to the Great House (Pharaoh). His heart, and the heart of his servants have been hardened. I will show these signs before him.

2 Recount them in the ears of your son, and of your son's son, how severely Double Straights (Egypt) was dealt with, and the signs that were directed at them; that you may know how that I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).”

3 Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron) came in to the Great House (Pharaoh), and said to him, “Thus says I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God of the One From Beyonds (Hebrews), How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

4 Else, if you refuse to let My people go, behold, tomorrow, locusts will come into your territory.

5 They will cover the face of the earth, so that one will not be able to see the earth: and they will eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remains from the hail, and will eat every tree which grows for you out of the field.

6 They will fill your houses, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Double Straighters (Egyptians); like neither your fathers, nor your fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth to this day.” Then he turned, and went out from the Great House (Pharaoh).

7 The Great House (Pharaoh)'s servants said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) their God. Don't you realize that Double Straights (Egypt) is destroyed?”

8 Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron) were brought again to the Great House (Pharaoh): and he said to them, “Go, serve I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God. Tell me who will be going?”

9 Drawn (Moses) said, “We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).”

10 He answered them, “I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had better be with you, if I let you and your little ones go! You have an evil plan.

11 It will not be so! Take your men, and serve I AM (the LORD, Yehovah); for that is what you asked.” And they were driven out from the Great House (Pharaoh)'s presence.

12 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Stretch out your hand over the land of Double Straights (Egypt) for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Double Straights (Egypt), and eat every herb of the land, everything that the hail has left”

13 So, Drawn (Moses) stretched forth his rod over the land of Double Straights (Egypt), and I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

14 The locusts went up over all the land of Double Straights (Egypt), and rested in all the territory of Double Straights (Egypt). Very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.

15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Double Straights (Egypt).

16 Then the Great House (Pharaoh) called for Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron) in haste. He said, “I have sinned against I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God, and against you.

17 Now therefore forgive my sin this time, and intreat I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God, that He may take away from me this death.”

18 And he went out from the Great House (Pharaoh), and intreated I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).

19 So, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea. There remained not one locust in all the territory of Double Straights (Egypt).

20 But I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) hardened the Great House (Pharaoh)'s heart. He would not let the children of God Prevails (Israel) go.

21 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Double Straights (Egypt), even darkness which may be felt.”

22 And Drawn (Moses) stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Double Straights (Egypt) three days.

23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of God Prevails (Israel) had light in their dwellings.

24 Then the Great House (Pharaoh) called to Drawn (Moses), and said, “Go , serve I AM (the LORD, Yehovah); your flocks and your herds will stay, but your little ones also go with you.”

25 But Drawn (Moses) answered, “You must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God.

26 Our livestock also will go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for of them we must take to serve I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God; and we know not with what we must serve I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), until we get there.”

27 But I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) hardened the Great House (Pharaoh)'s heart, and he would not let them go.

28 The Great House (Pharaoh) said to him, “Get away from me! Don't come back. You will see my face no more; for in that day you see my face you will die!”

29 And Drawn (Moses) said, “You have spoken well, I will see your face again no more.”

* Note – How a substance reacts to the sun depends on it's character. The sun hardens brick, but melts wax. I AM's hardening of the Great House's heart reflects the Great House's character and his reaction to I AM.

Exodus 9

1 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Go in to the Great House (Pharaoh) and tell him, Thus says I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God of the One From Beyonds (Hebrews), Let my people go, that they may serve me.

2 For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,

3 The hand of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will be upon your cattle in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep. There will be a devestating plague.

4 Yet, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will distinguish between the cattle of God Prevails (Israel) and the cattle of Double Straights (Egypt): and nothing shall die of all that is the children's of God Prevails (Israel) .”

5 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) shall do this thing in the land.”

6 So I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) did that thing the next day, and all the cattle of Double Straights (Egypt) died: but of the cattle of the children of God Prevails (Israel), not one died.

7 And the Great House (Pharaoh) sent investigators, and there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of the Great House (Pharaoh) was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

8 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses) and to Light Bringer (Aaron), “Take handfuls of ashes of the furnace with you, and let Drawn (Moses) sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of the Great House (Pharaoh).

9 It shall become small dust in all the land of Double Straights (Egypt) that will carry boils that spread with blisters upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Double Straights (Egypt).

10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before the Great House (Pharaoh); and Drawn (Moses) sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blisters upon man, and upon beast.

11 The magicians could not stand before Drawn (Moses) because of the boils; for the boils were upon the magicians, and upon all the Double Straighters (Egyptians).

12 Yet I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) irritated and hardened the heart of the Great House (Pharaoh), and he did not listen to them; as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had spoken to Drawn (Moses).

13 Then, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before the Great House (Pharaoh), and say to him, Thus says I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God of the One From Beyonds (Hebrews), Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

14 Now you will be tread upon by plagues on your heart, and on your servants, and on your people; that you may know that there is none like Me in all the earth.

15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that you and your people might be attacked with pestilence; and you will be cut off from the earth.

16 Indeed, for this cause have you were raised up, to show in you My power; and that My name may be declared throughout all the earth.

17 Yet you exalt yourself against My people, that you will not let them go?

18 Tomorrow, about this time it will rain a very horrible hail, such as has not been in Double Straights (Egypt) since the foundation of it, even until now.

19 Send therefore now, and gather your cattle, and all that you have in the field; for upon every man and beast which is in the field, and has not been brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.”

20 He that feared the word of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) among the servants of the Great House (Pharaoh) made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:

21 And he that regarded not the word of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) left his servants and his cattle in the field.

22 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Stretch forth your hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Double Straights (Egypt), upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Double Straights (Egypt).”

23 So Drawn (Moses) stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) allowed thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) rained hail upon the land of Double Straights (Egypt).

24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Double Straights (Egypt) since it became a nation.

25 The hail killed throughout all the land of Double Straights (Egypt) all that were in the field, both man and beast; and the hail destroyed every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.

26 Only in the land of Drawing Near (Goshen), where the children of God Prevails (Israel) were, was there no hail.

27 Then the Great House (Pharaoh) sent, and called for Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron), and said to them, “I have sinned this time: I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

28 Intreat I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.”

29 Drawn (Moses) said to him, “As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah); and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is I AM's (the LORD, Yehovah).

30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you will not yet fear I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God ('Elohiym).”

31 The flax and the barley were destroyed: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was budding.

32 But the wheat and the rye were not destroyed: for they were not grown up.

33 Drawn (Moses) went out of the city from the Great House (Pharaoh), and spread his hands out to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah): and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was quit pouring on the earth.

34 When the Great House (Pharaoh) saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.

35 And the heart of the Great House (Pharaoh) was hardened, neither would he let the children of God Prevails (Israel) go; as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had spoken by Drawn (Moses).

Exodus 2

1 There was a man of the house of Joined To (Levi), who took a wife who was also a of the tribe of Joined To (Levi).

2 The woman conceived, and bore a son: and when she saw how precious he was, she hid him for three months.

3 And when she could no longer hide him, she made an ark of bulrushes for him, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child in it; and she laid it in the reeds by the river's brink.

4 His sister stood afar off, to see what would be done to him.

5 The daughter of the Great House (Pharaoh) came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to fetch it.

6 When she had opened it, she saw the child: and the baby started crying. She had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the One From Beyonds (Hebrews)' children.”

7 Then his sister said to the Great House's (Pharaoh) daughter, “Shall I go and call a nurse of the One From Beyond (Hebrew) women to you, that she may nurse the child for you?”

8 The Great House's (Pharaoh) daughter said to her, “Go.” And the maid went and called the child's mother.

9 The Great House's (Pharaoh) daughter said to her, “Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will pay you.” So, the woman took the child, and nursed it.

10 The child grew, and she brought him to the Great House's (Pharaoh) daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Drawn (Moses). She explained, “Because I drew him out of the water.”

11 When Drawn (Moses) was grown, he went out to his brethren, and looked on their burdens. He came across an Double Straighter (Egyptian) beating a One From Beyond (Hebrew), one of his brethren.

12 He looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one around, he slew the Double Straighter (Egyptian), and hid him in the sand.

13 Then when he went out the second day, Two men of the One From Beyonds (Hebrews) were fighting: and he said to him that did the wrong, “Why did you beat your fellow countryman?”

14 He said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Are you going to kill me, as you killed the Double Straighter (Egyptian)?” And Drawn (Moses) feared, and said, “Surely this thing is known.”

15 Now when the Great House (Pharaoh) heard this thing, he sought to slay Drawn (Moses). But Drawn (Moses) fled from the face of the Great House (Pharaoh), to dwell in the land of Strife (Midian). There he sat down by a well.

16 Now the priest of Strife (Midian) had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

17 But the shepherds came and drove them away. So Drawn (Moses) stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

18 And when they came to Friend of God ('Elohiym) (Reuel) their father, he said, “How is it that you are back so soon today?”

19 They answered, “A Double Straighter (Egyptian) delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.”

20 He said to his daughters, “And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat with us.”

21 And Drawn (Moses) was content to dwell with the man. Then he gave Drawn (Moses) A Little Bird (Zipporah) his daughter.22 She bore him a son, and he called his name Exile (Gershom): for he said, “I have been a stranger in a strange land.”

23 It came to pass in process of time, that the king of Double Straights (Egypt) died: and the children of God ('Elohiym) Prevails (Israel) sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God ('Elohiym) by reason of the bondage.

24 And God ('Elohiym) heard their groaning, and God ('Elohiym) remembered his covenant with Father of a Multitude (Abraham), with Laughter (Isaac), and with Heel-Grabber (Jacob).

25 And God ('Elohiym) looked upon the children of God ('Elohiym) Prevails (Israel), and God ('Elohiym) honored their cry.

Exodus 1

1 Now these are the names of the children of God Prevails (Israel),who came into Double Straights (Egypt); every man and his household came with Heel-Grabber (Jacob).

2 Behold a Son (Reuben), Heard (Simeon), Joined To (Levi), and Praised (Judah),

3 Recompense (Issachar), Exalted (Zebulun), and Son of the Right Hand (Benjamin),

4 Judge (Dan), and Wrestling (Naphtali), Troop (Gad), and Happy (Asher).

5 All the souls that came out of the loins of Heel-Grabber (Jacob) were seventy souls: for Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) was in Double Straights (Egypt) already.

6 Then Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.

7 And the children of God Prevails (Israel) were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty. The land was filled with them.

8 Now there arose a new king over Double Straights (Egypt) who did not know Yehovah Will Add (Joseph).

9 He said to his people, “The people of the children of God Prevails (Israel) are more and mightier than we.

10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when war comes, they join our enemies, and fight against us, and take over the land.

11 Therefore they set over them taskmasters to afflict them with burdens. And they built for the Great House (Pharaoh) the treasure cities, The City of Justice (Pithom) and Child of the Sun (Rameses).

12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. They grieved because of the children of God Prevails (Israel).

13 Then the Double Straighters (Egyptians) made the children of God Prevails (Israel) to serve with even more rigor.

14 They made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigor.

15 Then the king of Double Straights (Egypt) spoke to the One From Beyond (Hebrew) midwives, of which the name of the one was Fair (Shiphrah), and the name of the other Splendid (Puah):

16 He said, “When you do the practice of a midwife to the One From Beyond (Hebrew) women, and see them on the stools; if it be a son, then kill him: but if it be a daughter, then let her live.”

17 But the midwives feared God ('Elohiym), and did not do as the king of Double Straights (Egypt) commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

18 The king of Double Straights (Egypt) called for the midwives, and questioned them, “Why have you done this thing, and saved the men children alive?”

19 The midwives answered the Great House (Pharaoh), “Because the One From Beyond (Hebrew) women are not as the Double Straighter (Egyptian) women. They are lively, and are delivered before the midwives come to them.”

20 Therefore God ('Elohiym) dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.

21 And because the midwives feared God ('Elohiym), He made them houses.

22 And the Great House (Pharaoh) charged the people of God Prevails (Israel), saying, “Every son that is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.”

The Beginning (Genesis) 50

CHAPTER 50

1 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) fell on his father's face, and wept on him, and kissed him.

2 Then Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father. So, the physicians embalmed God Prevails (Israel) .

3 The forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed. The Double Straighters (Egyptians) mourned for him 70 days.

4 When the days of his mourning were past, Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) spoke to the house of the Great House (Pharaoh) saying, “If now I have found grace in your eyes, please speak in the ears of the Great House (Pharaoh). Tell him:

5 My father made me swear, saying, “I am dying. I want you to bury me in my grave which I have dug for me in the land of Humbled One (Canaan). Now therefore, please, let me go up and bury my father, and I will come back again.”

6 The Great House (Pharaoh) said, “Go up, and bury your father, according as he made you swear.”

7 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of the Great House (Pharaoh), the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Double Straights (Egypt),

8 And all the house of Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Drawing Near (Goshen).

9 There went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.

10 They came to the threshing floor of Buckthorn (Atad), which is beyond the Descender (Jordan), and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.

11 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Humbled Ones (Canaanites), saw the mourning in the floor of Buckthorn (Atad), they said, “This is a grievous mourning to the Double Straighters (Egyptians). This is why the name of it was called Breath of Double Straights (Abel-Mizraim), which is beyond Descender (Jordan).

12 And his sons did to him according as he commanded them.

13 They carried him into the land of Humbled One (Canaan), and buried him in the cave of the field of Double Portion (Machpelah), which Father of a Multitude (Abraham) bought with the field for a possession of a burying place from Fawn-Like (Ephron) the Terror (Hittite), before Strength (Mamre).

14 Then Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) returned into Double Straights (Egypt), he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

15 When Yehovah Will Add (Joseph)'s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, “Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) will probably hate us, and will certainly repay us all the evil which we did to him.”

16 And they sent a messenger to Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), saying, “Your father commanded before he died, saying,

17 Say to Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), Please forgive the trespass of your brethren, and their sin; for they did evil to you. Now, please, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of your father.” And Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) wept when they spoke to him.

18 His brothers also went and fell down before his face. They said, “Behold, we are your servants.”

19 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) answered them, “Fear not. Am I in the place of God?

20 But as for you, you thought evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

21 Now therefore fear not: I will nourish you, and your little ones.” Thus he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.

22 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) dwelt in Double Straights (Egypt), he, and his father's house: and Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) lived a hundred and ten years.

23 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) saw Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim)'s children of the third generation. The children also of Sold (Machir) the son of Causing to Forget (Manasseh) were brought up on Yehovah Will Add (Joseph)'s knees.

24 And Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) said to his brethren, “I am dying. God ('Elohiym) will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land which he swore to Father of a Multitude (Abraham), to Laughter (Isaac), and to Heel-Grabber (Jacob).”

25 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) took an oath of the children of God Prevails (Israel) saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”

26 So Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) died, being a hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Double Straights (Egypt).

The Beginning (Genesis) 48

1 And it came to pass after these things, that Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) was told, “Your father is sick.” He took his two sons, Causing to Forget (Manasseh) and Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim) with him.

2 When Heel-Grabber (Jacob) was told, “Your son Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) has come to see you.” God Prevails (Israel) strengthened himself, and sat up on the bed.

3 Heel-Grabber (Jacob) said, “Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), God the Nurturer (El Shaddai) appeared to me at Almond Tree (Luz) in the land of Humbled One (Canaan), and blessed me,

4 And said to me, Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a multitude of people; and will give this land to your seed after you for an everlasting possession.

5 Now your two sons, Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim) and Causing to Forget (Manasseh), which were born to you in the land of Double Straights (Egypt) before I came to you in Double Straights (Egypt), are mine; as Behold a Son (Reuben) and Heard (Simeon), they shall be mine.

6 Your children, which you have after them, shall be yours, but shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.

7 As for me, when I came from Field (Padan), Ewe (Rachel) died by me in the land of Humbled One (Canaan) on the way, a little way from Ash-Heap: Place of Fruitfulness (Ephrath). I buried her there in the way of Ash-Heap: Place of Fruitfulness (Ephrath). (The same is House of Bread (Bethlehem).)”

8 God Prevails (Israel) looked at Yehovah Will Add's (Joseph) sons, and said, “Who are these?”

9 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place.” And he said, “Please bring them to me, and I will bless them.”

10 Now the eyes of God Prevails (Israel) were dim for age, so that he could not see. Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) brought them near him. He kissed them, and embraced them.

11 Then God Prevails (Israel) said to Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), “I did not think I would see your face again: and here God ('Elohiym) has shown me your seed as well!”

12 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

13 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) took them both, Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim) in his right hand toward God Prevail's (Israel) left hand, and Causing to Forget (Manasseh) in his left hand toward God Prevails (Israel) 's right hand, and brought them near him.

14 God Prevails (Israel) stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim)'s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Causing to Forget (Manasseh)'s head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Causing to Forget (Manasseh) was the firstborn.

15 Then he blessed Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), saying, “God ('Elohiym), before whom my fathers Father of a Multitude (Abraham) and Laughter (Isaac) did walk, the God ('Elohiym) which fed me all my life long to this day,

16 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Father of a Multitude (Abraham) and Laughter (Isaac); and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”

17 When Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim), it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful's (Ephraim) head to Causing to Forget's (Manasseh) head.

18 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) said to his father, “Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put your right hand upon his head.”

19 But his father refused, saying, “I know it, my son, I know it. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.

20 And he blessed them that day, saying, “In you shall God Prevails (Israel) bless, saying, God ('Elohiym) make you as Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim) and as Causing to Forget (Manasseh).” And he set Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim) before Causing to Forget (Manasseh).

21 Then God Prevails (Israel) said to Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), “I am dying. But, God ('Elohiym) will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.

22 I have given to you one portion above your brethren, which I took out of the hand of the The Talkers, Sayers (Amorite) with my sword and with my bow.”

The Beginning (Genesis) 47

1 Then Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) came and told Great House (Pharaoh), “My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, have come out of the land of Humbled One (Canaan) and they are in the land of Drawing Near (Goshen).

2 He took some of his brethren, five men, and presented them to Great House (Pharaoh).

3 Great House (Pharaoh) said to his brethren, “What is your occupation? They answered Great House (Pharaoh), “Your servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.”

4 They also told Great House (Pharaoh), We have come to dwell for a time because we have no pasture in the land of Humbled One (Canaan) because of the famine. So, please, let your servants dwell in the land of Drawing Near (Goshen).

5 Great House (Pharaoh) spoke to Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), saying, “Your father and your brethren have come to you.

6 The land of Double Straights (Egypt) is before you; make your father and brethren dwell in the best of the land. Let them dwell in the land of Drawing Near (Goshen). And if you know any men of ability among them, make them rulers over my cattle.

7 Then Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) brought in Heel-Grabber (Jacob) his father, and set him before the Great House (Pharaoh) and Heel-Grabber (Jacob) blessed the Great House (Pharaoh).

8 And the Great House (Pharaoh) said to Heel-Grabber (Jacob), “How old are you?”

9 Heel-Grabber (Jacob) replied to Great House (Pharaoh), “The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not even begun to reach the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.”

10 And Heel-Grabber (Jacob) blessed Great House (Pharaoh), and went out from before the Great House (Pharaoh).

11 Then Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Double Straights (Egypt), in the best of the land, in the land of Child of the Sun (Rameses), as Great House (Pharaoh) had commanded.

12 So Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.

13 ¶ And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very bad, so that the land of Double Straights (Egypt) and all the land of Humbled One (Canaan) fainted by reason of the famine.

14 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Double Straights (Egypt), and in the land of Humbled One (Canaan), for the grain which they bought. Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) brought that money into the Great House's (Pharaoh) house.

15 When money failed in the land of Double Straights (Egypt), and in the land of Humbled One (Canaan), all the Double Straighters (Egyptians) came to Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) and said, “Give us bread! Why should we die in your presence? Our money is gone,"

16 Yehovah will Add (Joseph) said, “If your money is gone, I will give you grain for your animals.”

17 And they brought their animals to Yehovah Will Add (Joseph). So Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.

18 When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said unto him, “We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent. My lord also has our herds of cattle; there is not anything left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:

19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to the Great House (Pharaoh) and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land will not be desolate.”

20 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) bought all the land of Double Straights (Egypt) for the Great House (Pharaoh). The Double Straighters (Egyptians) sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them. So the land became the Great House (Pharaoh)'s.

21 As for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Double Straights (Egypt) even to the other end thereof.

22 Only the land of the priests didn't buy because the priests had a portion assigned them of the Great House (Pharaoh), and ate their portion which the Great House (Pharaoh) gave them so they didn't have to sell their lands.

23 Then Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) said to the people, “Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for the Great House (Pharaoh). Here is seed for you, and you will sow the land.

24 When the harvest comes in, one part will belong to the Great House (Pharaoh), and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for your households, and for food for your little ones.”

25 And they said, “You have saved our lives. Let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be the Great House's (Pharaoh)servants.”

26 So Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) made it a law over the land of Double Straights (Egypt) to this day, that the Great House (Pharaoh) should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which did not become the Great House's (Pharaoh).

27 And God Prevails (Israel) dwelt in the land of Double Straights (Egypt), in the country of Drawing Near (Goshen). They possessed that land, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.

28 Heel-Grabber (Jacob) lived in the land of Double Straights (Egypt) seventeen years: so the whole age of Heel-Grabber (Jacob) was an hundred forty and seven years.

29 When the time drew nigh for God Prevails (Israel) to die, he called his son Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), and said to him, “If now I have found grace in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me in Double Straights (Egypt).

30 But I will lie with my fathers, and Carry me out of Double Straights (Egypt), and bury me in their burying place.” Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) promised, “I will do as you have said.”

31 And he said, “Swear to me.” So Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) swore to him. Then God Prevails (Israel) bowed himself upon the bed's head.
