The Command to Leave Sinai

  1. Psalm 105:28 Septuagint, Syriac omit not

12 In the sight of their fathers (A)he performed wonders
    in the land of Egypt, in (B)the fields of Zoan.
13 He (C)divided the sea and let them pass through it,
    and made the waters (D)stand like a heap.
14 (E)In the daytime he led them with a cloud,
    and all the night with a fiery light.
15 He (F)split rocks in the wilderness
    and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.
16 He made streams come out of (G)the rock
    and caused waters to flow down like rivers.

17 Yet they sinned still more against him,
    (H)rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
18 They (I)tested God in their heart
    by demanding the food they craved.
19 They spoke against God, saying,
    (J)“Can God (K)spread a table in the wilderness?
20 (L)He struck the rock so that water gushed out
    and streams overflowed.
Can he also give bread
    or provide meat for his people?”

21 Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of wrath;
    (M)a fire was kindled against Jacob;
    his anger rose against Israel,
22 because they (N)did not believe in God
    and did not trust his saving power.
23 Yet he commanded the skies above
    and (O)opened the doors of heaven,
24 and he (P)rained down on them manna to eat
    and gave them (Q)the grain of heaven.
25 Man ate of the bread of (R)the angels;
    he sent them food (S)in abundance.
26 He (T)caused the east wind to blow in the heavens,
    and by his power he led out the south wind;
27 he rained meat on them like (U)dust,
    winged birds like (V)the sand of the seas;
28 he (W)let them fall in the midst of their camp,
    all around their dwellings.
29 And they (X)ate and were well filled,
    for he gave them what they (Y)craved.
30 But before they had satisfied their craving,
    (Z)while the food was still in their mouths,
31 the anger of God rose against them,
    and he killed (AA)the strongest of them
    and laid low (AB)the young men of Israel.

32 In spite of all this, they (AC)still sinned;
    (AD)despite his wonders, they did not believe.
33 So he made (AE)their days (AF)vanish like[a] a breath,[b]
    and their years in terror.

Moses and Aaron Before Pharaoh

And the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like (A)God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your (B)prophet. (C)You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go out of his land. But (D)I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and though I (E)multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and bring my hosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment. The Egyptians (F)shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring out the people of Israel from among them.” Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as the Lord commanded them. Now Moses was (G)eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.

Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “When Pharaoh says to you, (H)‘Prove yourselves by working a miracle,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent.’” 10 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord commanded. Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a serpent. 11 Then Pharaoh summoned the wise men and the sorcerers, and they, the (I)magicians of Egypt, also (J)did the same by their secret arts. 12 For each man cast down his staff, and they became serpents. But Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs. 13 Still (K)Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, (L)as the Lord had said.
