  • Exodus Chapter 13

    17. It came to pass when Pharaoh let the people go, that God did not lead them [by] way of the land of the Philistines for it was near, because God said, Lest the people reconsider when they see war and return to Egypt

    18. So God led the people around [by] way of the desert [to] the Red Sea, and the children of Israel were armed when they went up out of Egypt.

    19. Moses took Joseph's bones with him, for he [Joseph] had adjured the sons of Israel, saying, God will surely remember you, and you shall bring up my bones from here with you

    20. They traveled from Succoth, and they encamped in Etham, at the edge of the desert.

    21. And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to cause it to lead them on the way and at night in a pillar of fire to give them light, [they thus could] travel day and night.

    22. He did not move away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire at night [from] before the people.

  • Exodus Chapter 14

    1. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

    2. Speak to the children of Israel, and let them turn back and encamp in front of Pi hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea; in front of Baal Zephon, you shall encamp opposite it, by the sea.

    3. And Pharaoh will say about the children of Israel, They are trapped in the land. The desert has closed in upon them.

    4. And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them, and I will be glorified through Pharaoh and through his entire force, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord And they did so.

    5. It was reported to Pharaoh that the people had fled; and Pharaoh and his servants had a change of heart toward the people, and they said, What is this that we have done, that we have released Israel from serving us?

    6. So he [Pharaoh] harnessed his chariot, and took his people with him.

    7. He took six hundred select chariots and all the chariots of Egypt, with officers over them all. 8And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and he chased after the children of Israel, and the children of Israel were marching out triumphantly.

  • Exodus Chapter 14

    9. The Egyptians chased after them and overtook them encamped by the sea every horse of Pharaoh's chariots, his horsemen, and his force beside Pi hahiroth, in front of Ba'al Zephon.

    10. Pharaoh drew near, and the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold! the Egyptians were advancing after them. They were very frightened, and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord.

    11. They said to Moses, Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us to die in the desert? What is this that you have done to us to take us out of Egypt?

    12. Isn't this the thing [about] which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Leave us alone, and we will serve the Egyptians, because we would rather serve the Egyptians than die in the desert

    13. Moses said to the people, Don't be afraid! Stand firm and see the Lord's salvation that He will wreak for you today, for the way you have seen the Egyptians is [only] today, [but] you shall no longer continue to see them for eternity.

    14. The Lord will fight for you, but you shall remain silent.

  • Exodus Chapter 14

    15. The Lord said to Moses, Why do you cry out to Me? Speak to the children of Israel and let them travel.

    16. And you raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and split it, and the children of Israel shall come in the midst of the sea on dry land.

    17. And I, behold! I shall harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will come after you, and I will be glorified through Pharaoh, and through all his force, through his chariots, and through his horsemen.

    18. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I will be glorified through Pharaoh, through his chariots, and through his horsemen

    19. Then the angel of God, who had been going in front of the Israelite camp, moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved away from in front of them and stood behind them.

    20. And he came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel, and there were the cloud and the darkness, and it illuminated the night, and one did not draw near the other all night long.

    21. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord led the sea with the strong east wind all night, and He made the sea into dry land and the waters split.

    22. Then the children of Israel came into the midst of the sea on dry land, and the waters were to them as a wall from their right and from their left.

    23. The Egyptians pursued and came after them all Pharaoh s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.

    24. It came about in the morning watch that the Lord looked down over the Egyptian camp through a pillar of fire and cloud, and He threw the Egyptian camp into confusion.

    25. And He removed the wheels of their chariots, and He led them with heaviness, and the Egyptians said, Let me run away from the Israelites because the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians

  • Exodus Chapter 14

    26. Thereupon, the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the sea, and let the water return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen

    27. So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and toward morning the sea returned to its strength, as the Egyptians were fleeing toward it, and the Lord stirred the Egyptians into the sea.

    28. And the waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, the entire force of Pharaoh coming after them into the sea; not even one of them survived.

    29. But the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the water was to them like a wall from their right and from their left.

    30. On that day the Lord saved Israel from the hand[s] of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dying on the seashore.

    31. And Israel saw the great hand, which the Lord had used upon the Egyptians, and the people feared the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in Moses, His servant.

    Exodus Chapter 15

    1. Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and they spoke, saying, I will sing to the Lord, for very exalted is He; a horse and its rider He cast into the sea.

    2. The Eternal's strength and His vengeance were my salvation; this is my God, and I will make Him a habitation, the God of my father, and I will ascribe to Him exaltation.

    3. The Lord is a Master of war; the Lord is His Name.

    4. Pharaoh's chariots and his army He cast into the sea, and the elite of his officers sank in the Red Sea.

    5. The depths covered them; they descended into the depths like a stone.

    6. Your right hand, O Lord, is most powerful; Your right hand, O Lord, crushes the foe.

    7. And with Your great pride You tear down those who rise up against You; You send forth Your burning wrath; it devours them like straw.

    8. And with the breath of Your nostrils the waters were heaped up; the running water stood erect like a wall; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea.

    9. [Because] the enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will share the booty; my desire will be filled from them; I will draw my sword, my hand will impoverish them.

    10. You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the powerful waters.

    11. Who is like You among the powerful, O Lord? Who is like You, powerful in the holy place? Too awesome for praises, performing wonders!

    12. You inclined Your right hand; the earth swallowed them up.

    13. With Your loving kindness You led the people You redeemed; You led [them] with Your might to Your holy abode.

    14. Peoples heard, they trembled; a shudder seized the inhabitants of Philistia.

    15. Then the chieftains of Edom were startled; [as for] the powerful men of Moab, trembling seized them; all the inhabitants of Canaan melted.

    16. May dread and fright fall upon them; with the arm of Your greatness may they become as still as a stone, until Your people cross over, O Lord, until this nation that You have acquired crosses over.

    17. You shall bring them and plant them on the mount of Your heritage, directed toward Your habitation, which You made, O Lord; the sanctuary, O Lord, [which] Your hands founded.

    18. The Lord will reign to all eternity

    19. When Pharaoh's horses came with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought the waters of the sea back upon them, and the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea,

    20. Miriam, the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women came out after her with timbrels and with dances.

    21. And Miriam called out to them, Sing to the Lord, for very exalted is He; a horse and its rider He cast into the sea

    22. Moses led Israel away from the Red Sea, and they went out into the desert of Shur; they walked for three days in the desert but did not find water.

    23. They came to Marah, but they could not drink water from Marah because it was bitter; therefore, it was named Marah.

    24. The people complained against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

    25. So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord instructed him concerning a piece of wood, which he cast into the water, and the water became sweet. There He gave them a statute and an ordinance, and there He tested them.

    26. And He said, If you hearken to the voice of the Lord, your God, and you do what is proper in His eyes, and you listen closely to His commandments and observe all His statutes, all the sicknesses that I have visited upon Egypt I will not visit upon you, for I, the Lord, heal you

  • Numbers Chapter 28

    19. You shall offer up a fire offering, a burnt offering to the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, and seven lambs in the first year they shall be unblemished for you.

    20. Their meal offerings [shall be] fine flour mixed with oil; three tenths for each bull and two tenths for the ram you shall offer up.

    21. And you shall offer up one tenth for each lamb, for all seven lambs.

    22. And one young male goat for a sin offering to atone for you.

    23. You shall offer these up besides the morning burnt offering which is offered as a continual burnt offering.

    24. Like these, you shall offer up daily for seven days, food of the fire offering, a spirit of satisfaction to the Lord; you shall offer up this in addition to the continual burnt offering and its libation.

    25. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall not perform any mundane work.

  • II Samuel Chapter 22

    1. And David spoke to the Lord the words of this song, on the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul;

    2. And he said, "The Lord is my rock and my fortress, and a rescuer to me.

    3. God is my rock, under whom I take cover; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my support, and my refuge; [He is] my savior Who saves me from violence.

    4. With praise, I call to the Lord, for from my enemies I shall be saved.

    5. For the pains of death have encompassed me; streams of scoundrels would affright me.

    6. Bands of [those that shall inherit] the nether world have surrounded me; the snares of death confronted me.

    7. When I am in distress, I call upon the Lord, yes I call upon my God: and out of His abode He hears my voice, and my cry enters His ears.

    8. Then the earth shook and quaked, the [very] foundations of heaven did tremble; and they were shaken when he was angered.

    9. Smoke went up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.

    10. And He bent the heavens and He came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.

    11. And He rode upon a cherub and did fly; He was seen upon the wings of the wind.

    12. And He fixed darkness about Him as booths; gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

    13. From the brightness before Him flamed forth coals of fire.

    14. The Lord thundered from heaven; and the Most High gave forth His voice.

    15. And He sent out arrows and He scattered them, lightning and He discomfited them.

    16. And the depths of the sea appeared; the foundations of the world were laid bare, by the rebuke of the Lord and the blast of the breath of His nostrils.

    17. He sent from on high [and] He took me; He drew me out of many waters.

    18. He delivered me from my mighty enemy; from them that hated me; for they were too powerful for me.

    19. They confronted me on the day of my calamity; but the Lord was a support to me.

    20. And He brought me forth into a wide place; He delivered me because He took delight in me.

    21. The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He recompensed me.

    22. For I have kept the ways of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from [the commandments of] my God.

    23. For all His ordinances were before me; and [as for] His statutes, I did not depart from it.

    24. And I was single-hearted toward Him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.

    25. And the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness before His eyes.

    26. With a kind one, You show Yourself kind. With an upright mighty man, You show Yourself upright.

    27. With a pure one, You show Yourself pure; But with a perverse one, You deal crookedly.

    28. And the humble people You do deliver; But Your eyes are upon the haughty [in order] to humble them.

    29. For You are my lamp, O' Lord; And the Lord does light my darkness.

    30. For by You I run upon a troop; By my God I scale a wall.

    31. [He is] the God Whose way is perfect; The word of the Lord is tried; He is a shield unto all them that trust in him.

    32. For who is God, save the Lord? And who is a rock, save our God?

    33. God is He who has fortified me with strength; and He looseth perfectly my path.

    34. He makes my feet like hinds; And sets me upon my high places.

    35. He trains my hand for war, so that mine arms do bend a brass bow.

    36. And You have given me the shield of Your salvation; And You have increased Your modesty for me.

    37. You have enlarged my step[s] beneath me; And my ankles have not slipped.

    38. I have pursued my enemies and have destroyed them; Never turning back until they were consumed.

    39. And I have consumed them, and I have crushed them that they cannot rise; Yes, they are fallen under my feet.

    40. For You have girded me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those that rose up against me.

    41. And of my enemies You have given me the back of their necks; them that hate me, that I may cut them off.

    42. They looked about, but there was no one to save them; [Even] to the Lord, but He answered them not.

    43. Then I ground them as the dust of the earth, as the mud of the streets I did tread upon them, I did stamp them down.

    44. And You have allowed me to escape from the contenders amongst my people; You shall keep me as head of nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.

    45. Strangers lie to me; as soon as their ears hear, they obey me.

    46. The strangers will wilt, and become lame from their bondage.

    47. The Lord lives, and blessed be my Rock; And exalted be the God, [who is] my rock of salvation.

    48. The God who takes vengeance for me; And brings down peoples under me.

    49. And that brings me forth from my enemies; And above those that rise against me, You have lifted me; from the violent man You deliver me.

    50. Therefore I will give thanks to You, O' Lord, among the nations, and to your name I will sing praises.

    51. He gives great salvation to His king, and He performs kindness to His anointed; to David and to his seed, forevermore.
