God

And the sons of Israel see, and say one unto another, `What is it?' for they have not known what it is ; and Moses saith unto them, `It is the bread which Jehovah hath given to you for food.

`This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded: Gather of it each according to his eating, an omer for a poll; and the number of your persons, take ye each for those in his tent.'

And he saith unto them, `It is that which Jehovah hath spoken of ; a rest--a holy sabbath to Jehovah-- is to-morrow; that which ye bake, bake; and that which ye boil, boil; and all that is over, let rest for yourselves in charge till the morning.'

And Moses saith, `Eat it to-day, for to-day is a sabbath to Jehovah; to-day ye find it not in the field:

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `How long have ye refused to keep My commands, and My laws?

see, because Jehovah hath given to you the sabbath, therefore He is giving to you on the sixth day bread of two days; abide ye each in his place, no one doth go out from his place on the seventh day.'

And Moses saith, `This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded: Fill the omer with it, for a charge for your generations, so that they see the bread which I have caused you to eat in the wilderness, in My bringing you out from the land of Egypt.'

And Moses saith unto Aaron, `Take one pot, and put there the fulness of the omer of manna, and let it rest before Jehovah, for a charge for your generations;'

as Jehovah hath given commandment unto Moses, so doth Aaron let it rest before the Testimony, for a charge.

And all the company of the sons of Israel journey from the wilderness of Sin, on their journeyings, by the command of Jehovah, and encamp in Rephidim, and there is no water for the people to drink;

and the people strive with Moses, and say, `Give us water, and we drink.' And Moses saith to them, `What? --ye strive with me, what? --ye try Jehovah?'

And Moses crieth to Jehovah, saying, `What do I to this people? yet a little, and they have stoned me.'

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Pass over before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel, and thy rod with which thou hast smitten the River take in thy hand, and thou hast gone:

Lo, I am standing before thee there on the rock in Horeb, and thou hast smitten on the rock, and waters have come out from it, and the people have drunk.' And Moses doth so before the eyes of the elders of Israel,

and he calleth the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the `strife' of the sons of Israel, and because of their `trying' Jehovah, saying, `Is Jehovah in our midst or not?'

and Moses saith unto Joshua, `Choose for us men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to-morrow I am standing on the top of the hill, and the rod of God in my hand.'

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Write this, a memorial in a Book, and set it in the ears of Joshua, that I do utterly wipe away the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens;'

and saith, `Because a hand is on the throne of Jah, war is to Jehovah with Amalek from generation--generation.'

And Jethro priest of Midian, father-in-law of Moses, heareth all that God hath done for Moses, and for Israel his people, that Jehovah hath brought out Israel from Egypt,

and the name of the other is Eliezer, for, `the God of my father is for my help, and doth deliver me from the sword of Pharaoh.'

And Jethro, father-in-law of Moses, cometh, and his sons, and his wife, unto Moses, unto the wilderness where he is encamping--the mount of God;

and Moses recounteth to his father-in-law all that Jehovah hath done to Pharaoh, and to the Egyptians, on account of Israel, all the travail which hath found them in the way, and Jehovah doth deliver them.

And Jethro rejoiceth for all the good which Jehovah hath done to Israel, whom He hath delivered from the hand of the Egyptians;

and Jethro saith, `Blessed is Jehovah, who hath delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of Pharaoh--who hath delivered this people from under the hand of the Egyptians;

now I have known that Jehovah is greater than all the gods, for in the thing they have acted proudly-- He is above them!'
