Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

²³ Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of the heavens,

²⁴ And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the corn of the heavens.

²⁵ Man did eat the bread of the mighty; he sent them provision to the full.

²⁶ He caused the east wind to rise in the heavens, and by his strength he brought the south wind;

²⁷ And he rained flesh upon them as dust, and feathered fowl as the sand of the seas,

²⁸ And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations:

²⁹ And they did eat, and were well filled; for that they lusted after, he brought to them.

³³ And the Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead [men]!

³⁴ And the people took their dough before it was leavened; their kneading-troughs bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

³⁵ And the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked of the Egyptians utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and clothing.

³⁶ And Jehovah had given the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they gave to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.

³⁷ And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot [that were] men, besides children.

³⁸ And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks and herds—very much cattle.

³⁹ And they baked the dough that they brought forth out of Egypt into unleavened cakes, for it was not leavened; for they were driven out of Egypt, and could not wait; neither had they prepared for themselves any food.

⁴⁰ And the residence of the children of Israel that they resided in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.

⁴¹ And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on that same day it came to pass that all the hosts of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt.

⁴² It is a night of observance to Jehovah, because of their being brought out from the land of Egypt: that same night is an observance to Jehovah for all the children of Israel in their generations.

¹⁷ But [in] prescribing [to you on] this [which I now enter on], I do not praise, [namely,] that ye come together, not for the better, but for the worse.

¹⁸ For first, when ye come together in assembly, I hear there exist divisions among you, and I partly give credit [to it].

¹⁹ For there must also be sects among you, that the approved may become manifest among you.

²⁰ When ye come therefore together into one place, it is not to eat [the] Lord's supper.

²¹ For each one in eating takes his *own* supper before [others], and one is hungry and another drinks to excess.

²² Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking? or do ye despise the assembly of God, and put to shame them who have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this [point] I do not praise.
