⁵ This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt where I heard a language that I did not understand.

⁶ I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were delivered from working with clay.

⁷ Thou didst call in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

⁹ no strange god shall be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

¹⁰ I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

⁷ And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each order, that it may be on the bread for an aroma and incense unto the LORD.

⁸ Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually: an everlasting covenant of the sons of Israel.

²¹ Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

²² Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.

²⁴ Judge not according to the appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.
