⁴ As for your nativity, ^(A)on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed in water to cleanse you; you were not rubbed with salt nor wrapped in swaddling cloths.

^15 (A)You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this thing today.

¹³ Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly ^(A)that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and ^(B)they will afflict them four hundred years.

⁶ But God spoke in this way: ^(A)that his descendants would dwell in a foreign land, and that they would bring them into ^(B)bondage and oppress them four hundred years. ^7 (C)‘And the nation to whom they will be in bondage I will ^(D)judge,’ said God, ^(E)‘and after that they shall come out and serve Me in this place.’

¹² And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a ^[a]manger.”

⁷ And ^(A)she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a ^[a]manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

¹³ Yet the house of Israel ^(A)rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they did not walk in My statutes; they ^(B)despised My judgments, ^(C)‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them’; and they greatly ^(D)defiled My Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out My fury on them in the ^(E)wilderness, to consume them.
