¹⁸ Then Moses entered the midst of the cloud ^[a]as he went up to the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain ^(A)forty days and forty nights.

²⁸ So he was there with Yahweh ^(A)forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread or drink water. And ^[a](B)he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, ^(C)the Ten ^[b]Commandments.

³ And He humbled you and let you be hungry and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that ^(A)man does not live by bread alone, but by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh.

^18 (A)And I fell down before Yahweh, ^(B)as at the first, forty days and nights; ^(C)I neither ate bread nor drank water ^(D)because of all your sin which you had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of Yahweh to provoke Him to anger.
