|
| 8 He is ever mindful of his covenant, --the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, -- |

|
| 17 He sent a man before them: Joseph was sold for a bondman. |
|
| 18 They afflicted his feet with fetters; his soul came into irons; |
|
| 19 Until the time when what he said came about: the word of Jehovah tried him. |
|
| 20 The king sent and loosed him--the ruler of peoples--and let him go free. |
|
| 21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler over all his possessions: |
|
| 22 To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom. |
|

|
| 24 And he made his people exceeding fruitful, and made them mightier than their oppressors. |
|
| 25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants. |
|
| 26 He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron whom he had chosen: |

|
| 28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. |

|
| 31 He spoke, and there came dog-flies, and gnats in all their borders. |

|
| 33 And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees of their borders. |
|
| 34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, even without number; |
|
| 35 And they devoured every herb in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground. |
|
| 36 And he smote every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigour. |
|
| 37 And he brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was not one feeble among their tribes. |
|
| 38 Egypt rejoiced at their departure; for the fear of them had fallen upon them. |
|
| 39 He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night. |
|
| 40 They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. |
|
| 41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed forth; they ran in the dry places like a river. |
|
| 42 For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham his servant; |
|
| 43 And he brought forth his people with gladness, his chosen with rejoicing; |
|
| 44 And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the labour of the peoples: |
|
| 45 That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Hallelujah! |
