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 8

1 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses), “Go to the Great House (Pharaoh), and say to him, Thus says I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), Let my people go, that they may serve me.

2 And if you refuse to let them go, your territory will be stricken with frogs:

3 The river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which will go up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and into your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs.

4 The frogs shall come up both on you, and upon your people, and upon all your servants.”

5 Then, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses), “Say to Light Bringer (Aaron), Stretch forth your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and the frogs will come up upon the land of Double Straights (Egypt).”

6 So Light Bringer (Aaron) stretched out his hand over the waters of Double Straights (Egypt); and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Double Straights (Egypt).

7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Double Straights (Egypt).

8 Then the Great House (Pharaoh) called for Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron), and said, “Intreat I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), that He may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).”

9 Drawn (Moses) answered the Great House (Pharaoh), “Glory over me! When shall I intreat for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only?”

10 And he said, “Tomorrow.” And he said, “Be it according to your word: that you may know that there is none like to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God ('Elohiym).

11 The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people; they shall remain in the river only.”

12 Then Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron) went out from the Great House (Pharaoh): and Drawn (Moses) cried to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) because of the frogs brought against the Great House (Pharaoh).

13 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) did according to the word of Drawn (Moses); and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.

14 And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.

15 But when the Great House (Pharaoh) saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and did not listen to them; as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had said.

16 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Say to Light Bringer (Aaron), Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Double Straights (Egypt).”

17 And they did so; for Light Bringer (Aaron) stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the of Double Straights (Egypt).

18 The magicians tried with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.

19 Then the magicians said to the Great House (Pharaoh), “This is the finger of God ('Elohiym).” But, the Great House (Pharaoh)'s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them; as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had said.

20 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before the Great House (Pharaoh). When he comes out to the water say to him, Thus says I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), Let my people go, that they may serve me.

21 Else, if you wilt not let my people go, swarms of flies will be sent upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Double Straighters (Egyptians) shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.

22 And I will sever in that day the land of Drawing Near (Goshen), in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end you may know that I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) in the midst of the earth.

23 I will put a division between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign shall be.”

24 And I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of the Great House (Pharaoh), and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Double Straights (Egypt): the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.

25 Then the Great House (Pharaoh) called for Drawn (Moses) and for Light Bringer (Aaron), and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God ('Elohiym) in the land.”

26 But Drawn (Moses) answered, “It is not right so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Double Straighters (Egyptians) to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God ('Elohiym). If we we sacrifice the abomination of the Double Straighters (Egyptians) before their eyes, will they not stone us?

27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God, as he shall command us.”

28 The Great House (Pharaoh) said, “I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym) in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away: intreat for me.”

29 Drawn (Moses) said, “When I go out from you, I will intreat I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) that the swarms of flies may depart from the Great House (Pharaoh), from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not the Great House (Pharaoh) deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).”

30 And Drawn (Moses) went out from the Great House (Pharaoh), and intreated I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).

31 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) did according to the word of Drawn (Moses). He removed the swarms of flies from the Great House (Pharaoh), from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.

32 Then the Great House (Pharaoh) hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.

Exodus 7

1 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “See, I have made you a god to the Great House (Pharaoh): and Light Bringer (Aaron) your brother shall be your prophet.

2 You will speak all that I command you: and Light Bringer (Aaron) your brother shall speak to the Great House (Pharaoh), so that he sends the children of God Prevails (Israel) out of his land.

3 The Great House's (Pharaoh) heart will be hardened, and I will multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Double Straights (Egypt).

4 But the Great House (Pharaoh) shall not listen to you, that I may lay My hand upon Double Straights (Egypt), and bring forth My host, My people, the children of God Prevails (Israel) , out of the land of Double Straights (Egypt) by great judgments.

5 The Double Straighters (Egyptians) shall know that I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), when I stretch forth My hand upon Double Straights (Egypt), and bring out the children of God Prevails (Israel) from among them.”

6 Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron) did as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commanded them.

7 Drawn (Moses) was eighty years old, and Light Bringer (Aaron) eighty-three years old, when they spoke to the Great House (Pharaoh).

8 Then, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses) and to Light Bringer (Aaron), saying,

9 “When the Great House (Pharaoh) shall speak to you, saying, 'Show a miracle for proof' then you will say to Light Bringer (Aaron), 'Take your rod, and cast it before the Great House (Pharaoh)', and it shall become a serpent.”

10 So, Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron) went in to the Great House (Pharaoh), and they did as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had commanded: Light Bringer (Aaron) cast down his rod before the Great House (Pharaoh), and before his servants, and it became a serpent.

11 Then the Great House (Pharaoh) also called the wise men and the sorcerers. Now the magicians of Double Straights (Egypt) also did in like manner with their enchantments.

12 They cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Light Bringer (Aaron)'s rod swallowed up their rods.

13 But the Great House (Pharaoh)'s heart was hardened. He did not listen to them; as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had said.

14 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “The Great House's (Pharaoh) heart is hardened, he refuses to let the people go.

15 Go to the Great House (Pharaoh) in the morning when he goes out to the water. You will stand by the river's brink to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent will you take in your hand.

16 You will say to him, 'I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God of the One From Beyonds (Hebrews) has sent me to you, saying, Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness. Look, before you would not hear.

17 Thus says I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), In this you will know that I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah): Watch, I will strike with the rod that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.

18 And the fish in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Double Straighters (Egyptians) shall not be able to drink of the water of the river.'”

19 Furthermore, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses), “Say to Light Bringer (Aaron), 'Take your rod, and stretch out your hand out over the waters of Double Straights (Egypt), on their streams, on their rivers, and on their ponds, and on all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Double Straights (Egypt), both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.'”

20 And Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron) did as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of the Great House (Pharaoh), and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.

21 The fish that were in the river died; and the river stank, and the Double Straighters (Egyptians) could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Double Straights (Egypt).

22 Then, the magicians of Double Straights (Egypt) did the same with their enchantments. The Great House's (Pharaoh) heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had said.

23 Then the Great House (Pharaoh) turned and went into his house, and he did not take this to heart either.

24 All the Double Straighters (Egyptians) dug round about the river for water to drink. They could not drink of the water of the river

25 For seven full days after I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) struck the river.

Exodus 6

1 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Now will you see what I will do to the Great House (Pharaoh): for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand will he drive them out of his land.”

2 Then God ('Elohiym) spoke to Drawn (Moses), and said to him, “I AM That I AM (the LORD, Yehovah):

3 I appeared to Father of a Multitude (Abraham), to Laughter (Isaac), and to Heel-Grabber (Jacob), by the name of God the Nurturer (El Shaddai), but by my name I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) was I not known to them.

4 I also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Humbled One (Canaan), the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.

5 I have also heard the groaning of the children of God Prevails (Israel) , whom the Double Straighters (Egyptians) keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.

6 Therefore say to the children of God Prevails (Israel) , I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Double Straighters (Egyptians). I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm with great judgments:

7 And I will take you to Me for a people, and I will be to you God ('Elohiym): and ye shall know that I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Double Straighters (Egyptians).

8 I will bring you in to the land, which I swore to give to Father of a Multitude (Abraham), to Laughter (Isaac), and to Heel-Grabber (Jacob); and I will give it you for an heritage: I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).”

9 Drawn (Moses) spoke so to the children of God Prevails (Israel) : but they didn't listened to Drawn (Moses) for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

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

11 “Go in, speak to the Great House (Pharaoh) king of Double Straights (Egypt), tell him to let the children of God Prevails (Israel) go out of his land.”

12 But Drawn (Moses) spoke before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), saying, “Look, the children of God Prevails (Israel) have not listened to me; how then shall the Great House (Pharaoh) hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?”

13 But I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses) and to Light Bringer (Aaron), and gave them a charge to the children of God Prevails (Israel) , and to the Great House (Pharaoh) king of Double Straights (Egypt), to bring the children of God Prevails (Israel) out of the land of Double Straights (Egypt).

14 These are the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of Behold a Son (Reuben) the firstborn of God Prevails (Israel) ; Dedicated (Hanoch), and Distinguished (Pallu), Surrounded By a Wall (Hezron), and My Vineyard (Carmi): these are the families of Behold a Son (Reuben).

15 The sons of Heard (Simeon); Day of God (Jemuel) , Right Hand (Jamin), United (Ohad) , He Will Establish (Jachin), Tawny (Zohar), and Desired (Saul) the son of a Humbled One (Canaanite) woman: these are the families of Heard (Simeon).

16 These are the names of the sons of Joined To (Levi) according to their generations; Exile (Gershon), Assembly (Kohath), and Bitter (Merari): and the years of the life of Joined To (Levi) were an hundred thirty and seven years.

17 The sons of Exile (Gershon); White (Libni), and Renowned (Shimi), according to their families.

18 And the sons of Assembly (Kohath); Exalted People (Amram) , Shining Oil (Izhar), Association (Hebron), and My Strength is God (Uzziel) The years of the life of Assembly (Kohath) were an hundred thirty and three years.

19 And the sons of Bitter (Merari); Infirmity (Mahali), and Yielding (Mushi): these are the families of Joined To (Levi) according to their generations.

20 Then Exalted People (Amram) took him Jehovah is Glory (Jochebed) his father's sister to wife; and she bore him Light Bringer (Aaron) and Drawn (Moses). The years of the life of Exalted People (Amram) were an hundred and thirty and seven years.

21 The sons of Shining Oil (Izhar); Bald (Korah), and Sprout (Nepheg), and Memorable (Zichri).

22 And the sons of My Strength is God (Uzziel); Who Is What God Is (Mishael), My God Has Protected (Elzaphan), and Protection of Jehovah (Zithri).

23 Then Light Bringer (Aaron) took My God hath Sworn (Elisheba), daughter of Kindred of the Prince (Amminadab), sister of Enchanter (Naashon), to wife; and she bore him Generous (Nadab), He Is My Father (Abihu), God hath Helped (Eleazar), and Coast of Palms (Ithamar).

24 The sons of Bald (Korah); Prisoner (Assir), God hath Possessed (Elkanah), and My Father hath Gathered (Abiasaph): these are the families of The Bald Ones (Korhites).

25 God has Helped (Eleazar), Light Bringer (Aaron)'s son, took one of the daughters of Afflicted of God (Putiel) to wife; and she bore him Mouth of Brass (Phinehas). These are the heads of the fathers of the Children of Joined To (Levites) according to their families.

26 These are the ones that Light Bringer (Aaron) and Drawn (Moses), to whom I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said, “Bring out the children of God Prevails (Israel) from the land of Double Straights (Egypt) according to their armies.”

27 These are they who spoke to the Great House (Pharaoh) king of Double Straights (Egypt), to bring out the children of God Prevails (Israel) from Double Straights (Egypt): Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron).

28 And it came to pass on the day when I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses) in the land of Double Straights (Egypt),

29 That I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses), saying, “I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah): speak to the Great House (Pharaoh) king of Double Straights (Egypt) all that I say to you.”

30 And Drawn (Moses) confessed before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), “Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall the Great House (Pharaoh) listen to me?”

Exodus 5

1 After that Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron) went in, and told the Great House (Pharaoh), “Thus says I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God of God Prevails (Israel), 'Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.'”

2 The Great House (Pharaoh) said, “Who is I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), that I should obey His voice to let God Prevails (Israel) go? I know not I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), neither will I let God Prevails (Israel) go.”

3 They said, “The God of the One From Beyonds (Hebrews) has met with us. Please, let us go three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God; lest He fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.”

4 The king of Double Straights (Egypt) said to them, “Why do you, Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron), draw the people from their works? Get back to work.”

5 Then the Great House (Pharaoh) said, “Look, the people of the land are now many, and you want to make them rest from their burdens.”

6 The Great House (Pharaoh) commanded that same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

7 “Do not give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.

8 And don't reduce the tale of the bricks required of them. Expect not one less. They've got to much time on their hands; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.

9 Let there more work be laid on the men, that they may labor therein; and let them not regard vain words.”

10 So the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, “The Great House (Pharaoh) says, I will not give you straw.

11 Go, get straw where ye can find it. Yet none of your quota will be diminished.”

12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Double Straights (Egypt) to gather stubble instead of straw.

13 And the taskmasters pushed them, saying, “Fulfill your quota and your daily tasks, as when there was straw.”

14 The officers of the children of God Prevails (Israel), whom the Great House's (Pharaoh's) taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, “Why have you not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as before?”

15 Then the officers of the children of God Prevails (Israel) came and cried to the Great House (Pharaoh), saying, “Why are you dealing this way with your servants?

16 There is no straw given to your servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”

17 But he said, “You are idle, you are idle: therefore you say, Let us go and do sacrifice to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).

18 Now go back to work. There shall no straw be given you, yet you will produce the same amount of bricks.”

19 And the officers of the children of God Prevails (Israel) saw that they were in trouble, after it was said, “You shall not produce any less bricks each day.”

20 So they met Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron), who stood in the way, as they came out of their meeting with the Great House (Pharaoh):

21 They said to them, “I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) look upon you, and judge; because you have made our smell to be abhorred in the eyes of the Great House (Pharaoh), and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.”

22 Then Drawn (Moses) returned to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), and said, “Lord, why have You so evil entreated this people? Why is it that You have sent me?

23 For since I came to the Great House (Pharaoh) to speak in Your name, he has done evil to Your people; neither have You delivered Your people at all.”

Exodus 4

1 Drawn (Moses) answered saying, “But they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice. They will say, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has not appeared to you.”

2 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.”

3 He said, “Cast it on the ground.” As he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Drawn (Moses) fled from before it.

4 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail.” He put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand.

5 “That they may believe that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God ('Elohiym) of their fathers, the God ('Elohiym) of Father of a Multitude (Abraham), the God ('Elohiym) of Laughter (Isaac), and the God ('Elohiym) of Heel-Grabber (Jacob), has appeared to you.”

6 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said furthermore to him, “Put now your hand into your bosom.” So he put his hand into his bosom and when he took it out, his hand was leprous as snow.

7 Then He said, “Put your hand into your bosom again.” So he put his hand into his bosom again and took it out of his bosom. It had turned back again as his other flesh.

8 If they will not believe you, or listen to the voice of the first sign, they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, or listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land. The water which you take out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.”

10 Drawn (Moses) said to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), O my Lord, I am not eloquent. I never have been, and still am not, even since You have spoken to Your servant. I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

11 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to him, “Who has made man's mouth? Who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I I AM (the LORD, Yehovah)?

12 Now, therefore go. I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall say.”

13 But Drawn (Moses) begged, “O my Lord, please send someone else!”

14 And the anger of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) was kindled against Drawn (Moses), and he said, “Isn't Light Bringer (Aaron) the Joined To (Levite) your brother? I know that he can speak well. Right now he is coming to meet you: and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.

15 You shall speak to him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.

16 He will be your spokesman to the people. He shall be to your mouth, and you shall be to him as God.

17 You will take this rod in your hand, wherewith you will do signs.”

18 Then Drawn (Moses) went and returned to His Abundance (Jethro) his father in law, and said to him, “Let me go, please and return to my brethren who are in Double Straights (Egypt), and see whether they are yet alive.” His Abundance (Jethro) answered Drawn (Moses), “Go in peace.”

19 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses) in Strife (Midian), “Go, return to Double Straights (Egypt). All the men are dead who sought your life.”

20 Drawn (Moses) took his wife and his sons, and set them on an ass, and he returned to the land of Double Straights (Egypt). Then Drawn (Moses) took the rod of God in his hand.

21 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), “When you return to Double Straights (Egypt), see that you do all those wonders before the Great House (Pharaoh), which I have put in your hand: but I will harden his heart, and he will not let the people go.

22 You shall say to the Great House (Pharaoh), 'Thus says I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), God Prevails (Israel) is my son, even my firstborn.

23 And I say to you, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if you refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay your son, even your firstborn'.”

24 On the way at the inn, that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) met him, and sought to kill him.

25 Then A Little Bird (Zipporah) took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, “Surely you are a bloody husband to me.”

26 So he let him go: then she said, “A bloody husband you are, because of the circumcision.”

27 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Light Bringer (Aaron), “Go to the wilderness to meet Drawn (Moses). So he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.

28 Drawn (Moses) told Light Bringer (Aaron) all the words of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.

29 Then Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron) went and gathered together all the elders of the children of God Prevails (Israel).

30 Light Bringer (Aaron) relayed all the words which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had spoken to Drawn (Moses), and did the signs in the sight of the people.

31 And the people believed: and when they heard that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had visited the children of God Prevails (Israel) , and that He had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.

Exodus 3

1 Now Drawn (Moses) kept the flock of His Abundance (Jethro) his father in law, the priest of Strife (Midian). He led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God ('Elohiym), at Desert (Horeb).

2 The angel of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and, saw a bush burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed.

3 Drawn (Moses) said, “I have to see this great sight and why the bush is not burnt.”

4 When I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) saw that he turned aside to see, God ('Elohiym) called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, “Drawn (Moses), Drawn (Moses) .” Drawn (Moses) replied, “Here I am.”

5 He said, “Do not come close. Take your shoes off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.”

6 Moreover He said, “I am the God ('Elohiym) of your father, the God ('Elohiym) of Father of a Multitude (Abraham), the God ('Elohiym) of Laughter (Isaac), and the God of Heel-Grabber (Jacob).” Drawn (Moses) hid his face; for he was afraid to look on God ('Elohiym).

7 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said, “I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Double Straights (Egypt), and have heard their cry against their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows.

8 I am coming down to deliver them out of the hand of the Double Straighters (Egyptians), and to bring them up out of that land to a good spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Humbled Ones (Canaanites), and the Terrors (Hittite), and the The Talkers, Sayers (Amorite), and the Village Dwellers (Perizzite), and the Villagers (Gibeonites were Hivites), and the Trodden Underfoot (Jebusites - original inhabitants of Jerusalem).

9 The cry of the children of God Prevails (Israel) has come to me and I have seen the oppression with which the Double Straighters (Egyptians) oppress them.

10 Come now therefore. I will send you to the Great House (Pharaoh), to bring forth my people, the children of God Prevails (Israel), out of Double Straights (Egypt).”

11 Drawn (Moses) asked God ('Elohiym), “Who am I, that I should go to the Great House (Pharaoh), and that I should bring forth the children of God Prevails (Israel) out of Double Straights (Egypt)?”

12 And He said, “Certainly I will be with you. This will be a sign to you, that I have sent you: When you have brought forth the people out of Double Straights (Egypt), you shall serve God ('Elohiym) on this mountain.”

13 Drawn (Moses) asked God ('Elohiym), “When I come to the children of God Prevails (Israel) , and say to them, The God ('Elohiym) of your fathers has sent me to you, they will say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?”

14 God ('Elohiym) answered Drawn (Moses), I AM THAT I AM”: and He added, “This is what you shall say to the children of God Prevails (Israel) , I AM has sent me to you.”

15 God ('Elohiym) also said to Drawn (Moses), “This is what you will say to the children of God Prevails (Israel): I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God ('Elohiym) of your fathers, the God ('Elohiym) of Father of a Multitude (Abraham), the God ('Elohiym) of Laughter (Isaac), and the God ('Elohiym) of Heel-Grabber (Jacob), has sent me to you: this is My Name for ever, and this is My memorial to all generations.

16 Go, gather the elders of God Prevails (Israel) together, and say to them, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God ('Elohiym) of your fathers, the God ('Elohiym) of Father of a Multitude (Abraham), of Laughter (Isaac), and of Heel-Grabber (Jacob), appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Double Straights (Egypt).

17 I have decided and proclaimed that I will bring you up out of the affliction of Double Straights (Egypt) into the land of the Humbled Ones (Canaanites), and the Terrors (Hittite), and the The Talkers, Sayers (Amorite), and the Village Dwellers (Perizzite), and the Villagers (Gibeonites were Hivites), and the Trodden Underfoot (Jebusite - original inhabitants of Jerusalem), into a land flowing with milk and honey.

18 They will listen to your voice: and you will go, you and the elders of God Prevails (Israel) , to the king of Double Straights (Egypt), and you will say to him, 'I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God ('Elohiym) of the One From Beyonds (Hebrews) has met with us. Now let us go, we beseech you, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God ('Elohiym).'

19 I am sure that the king of Double Straights (Egypt) will not let you go, no, not but by a mighty hand.

20 I will stretch out my hand, and smite Double Straights (Egypt) with all my wonders which I will do in the midst of them. After that he will let you go.

21 I will give this people favor in the sight of the Double Straighters (Egyptians). It shall come to pass, that, when you go, you will not go empty.

22 Every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her who dwells in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing. You will put them on your sons, and on your daughters; and you will spoil the Double Straighters (Egyptians).”
