Moses

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?

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 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 the people thirst there for water, and the people murmur against Moses, and say, `Why is this? --thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to put us to death, also our sons and our cattle, with thirst.'

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 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 Joshua doth as Moses hath said to him, to fight with Amalek, and Moses, Aaron, and Hur, have gone up to the top of the height;

and it hath come to pass, when Moses lifteth up his hand, that Israel hath been mighty, and when he letteth his hands rest, that Amalek hath been mighty.

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 Moses buildeth an altar, and calleth its name Jehovah-Nissi,

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 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 he saith unto Moses, `I, thy father-in-law, Jethro, am coming unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.'

And Moses goeth out to meet his father-in-law, and boweth himself, and kisseth him, and they ask one at another of welfare, and come into the tent;

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 it cometh to pass on the morrow, that Moses sitteth to judge the people, and the people stand before Moses, from the morning unto the evening;

And Moses saith to his father-in-law, `Because the people come unto me to seek God;

And Moses hearkeneth to the voice of his father-in-law, and doth all that he said,

and Moses chooseth men of ability out of all Israel, and maketh them chiefs over the people, heads of thousands, heads of hundreds, heads of fifties, and heads of tens,

and they have judged the people at all times; the hard matter they bring in unto Moses, and every small matter they judge themselves.
