But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive.

So Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “Every son who is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.”

So Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord who had sent him, and all the signs which He had commanded him.

So the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a command for the children of Israel and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

You shall speak all that I command you. And Aaron your brother shall tell Pharaoh to send the children of Israel out of his land.

Then Moses and Aaron did so; just as the Lord commanded them, so they did.

So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the Lord commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.

And Moses and Aaron did so, just as the Lord commanded. So he lifted up the rod and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants. And all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.

We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God as He will command us.”

Then the children of Israel went away and did so; just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

Thus all the children of Israel did; as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”

This is the thing which the Lord has commanded: ‘Let every man gather it according to each one’s need, one omer for each person, according to the number of persons; let every man take for those who are in his tent.’ ”

So they laid it up till morning, as Moses commanded; and it did not stink, nor were there any worms in it.

And the Lord said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My laws?

Then Moses said, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it, to be kept for your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’ ”

As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

Water from the Rock

Then all the congregation of the children of Israel set out on their journey from the Wilderness of Sin, according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink.

If you do this thing, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all this people will also go to their place in peace.”

So Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before them all these words which the Lord commanded him.

The Ten Commandments

And God spoke all these words, saying:

but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt; none shall appear before Me empty);

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you tablets of stone, and the law and commandments which I have written, that you may teach them.”
