Serve Yahweh with Gladness
A Psalm of [a]Thanksgiving.
27 (A)Then Yahweh said to Aaron, “Go to meet Moses in the wilderness.” So he went and encountered him at the (B)mountain of God and kissed him. 28 (C)And Moses told Aaron all the words of Yahweh with which He had sent him, and (D)all the signs that He had commanded him to do. 29 Then Moses and Aaron went and (E)gathered all the elders of the sons of Israel; 30 and (F)Aaron spoke all the words which Yahweh had spoken to Moses. He then did the (G)signs in the sight of the people. 31 So (H)the people believed; and they heard that Yahweh [a](I)cared about the sons of Israel and that He had seen their affliction. So (J)they bowed low and worshiped.
35 “This Moses whom they (A)disowned, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’ is the one whom God [a]sent to be both a ruler and a deliverer with the [b]help of the angel who appeared to him in the bush. 36 (B)This man led them out, doing (C)wonders and [c]signs in the land of Egypt and in the Red Sea and in the (D)wilderness for forty years. 37 This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, ‘(E)God will raise up for you a prophet [d]like me from your brothers.’ 38 This is the one who, in (F)the [e]congregation in the wilderness, was with (G)the angel who was speaking to him on Mount Sinai and with our fathers; the one who received (H)living (I)oracles to pass on to you. 39 Our fathers were unwilling to be obedient to him, but (J)rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt, 40 (K)saying to Aaron, ‘Make for us gods who will go before us; for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt—we do not know what has become of him.’ 41 [f]At that time (L)they made a [g]calf and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in (M)the works of their hands. 42 But God (N)turned away and delivered them up to [h]serve the [i]host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, ‘(O)Did you present Me with slain beasts and sacrifices (P)forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? 43 (Q)You also took along the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of the god [j]Rompha, the images which you made to worship. I also will remove you beyond Babylon.’
