And he said, When you do the duties of midwife to the Hebrew women, and they are about to be delivered, if it be a male, kill it; but if a female, save it.

And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Whatever male [child] shall be born to the Hebrews, cast into the river; and every female, save it alive.

And in those days after a length of time, the king of Egypt died. And the children of Israel groaned because of their tasks, and cried, and their cry because of their tasks went up to God.

And they said to them, The Lord look upon you and judge you, for you have made our scent abominable before Pharaoh, and before his servants, to put a sword into his hands to kill us.

And the children Israel departed from Rameses to Succoth, [to the full number of] six hundred thousand footmen, even men, besides the baggage.

And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and of his servants, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went forth with a high hand.

And Pharaoh approached, and the children of Israel, having looked up, beheld, and the Egyptians encamped behind them. And they were very greatly terrified, and the children of Israel cried to the Lord,

Is not this the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? For it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in this wilderness.

The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoils; I will satisfy my soul, I will destroy with my sword, my hand shall have dominion.

You sent forth Your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty water.

And Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

And Joshua did as Moses said to him, and he went out and set the army in array against Amalek, and Moses and Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

But the hands of Moses were heavy, and they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat upon it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on this side and the other on that, and the hands of Moses were supported till the going down of the sun.

I remember the kindness of your youth, and the love of your betrothal,

the Lord your God, who goes before your face, He shall fight against them together with you effectually, according to all that He did for you in the land of Egypt;

who goes before you in the way to choose you a place, guiding you in the fire by night, showing you the way by which you should go, and a cloud by day.

For the Lord our God has blessed you in every work of your hands. Consider how you went through that great and terrible wilderness- behold, the Lord your God [has been] with you for forty years; you did not lack anything.

And you shall remember all the way which the Lord your God has led you in the wilderness, that He might afflict you, and try you, and that the things in your heart might be made manifest, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

And He afflicted you and straitened you with hunger, and fed you with manna, which your fathers knew not; that He might teach you that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God shall man live.

who fed you with manna in the wilderness, which you knew not, and your fathers knew not; that He might afflict you, and thoroughly test you, and do you good in your latter days.

And You guided them by day by a pillar of cloud, and by night by a pillar of fire, to enlighten for them the way in which they should walk.

And You made known to them Your holy Sabbath; You enjoined upon them commandments, and ordinances, and a law, by the hand of Your servant Moses.

And He guided them with a cloud by day, and all the night with a light of fire.

And He brought water out of the rock, and caused waters to flow down as rivers.

Yet He commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

Man ate angels' bread; He sent them provision to the full.

And He rained upon them flesh like dust, and feathered birds like the sand on the seashore.

So they ate, and were completely filled; and He gave them their desire.

And He brought them out with silver and gold; and there was not a feeble one among their tribes.

He spread out a cloud for a covering to them, and fire to give them light by night.

He split the rock, and the waters flowed; rivers ran in dry places.

And He brought out His people with exaltation, and His elect with joy;

To Him who led His people through the wilderness; for His mercy [endures] forever.

and slew mighty kings; for His mercy [endures] forever:

and Og king of Bashan; for His mercy [endures] forever;

even an inheritance to Israel His servant; for His mercy [endures] forever.

and redeemed us from our enemies; for His mercy [endures] forever.

I remembered the mercy of the Lord, the praises of the Lord in all things in which He recompenses us. The Lord is a good judge to the house of Israel; He deals with us according to His mercy, and according to the abundance of His righteousness.

out of all their affliction; not an ambassador, nor a messenger, but [He H]imself saved them, because He loved them and spared them; He Himself redeemed them, and took them up, and lifted them up all the days of old.

Then he remembered the days of old, [saying], Where is He that brought up from the sea the shepherd of the sheep? Where is He that put His Holy Spirit in them?

He led them through the deep, as a horse through the wilderness, and they fainted not,

But I acted [so] that My name should not be at all profaned before the Gentiles, before whose eyes I brought them out.

because they rejected My ordinances, and walked not in My commandments, but profaned My Sabbaths, and went after the imaginations of their hearts.

And they departed from the mount of the Lord a three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them, a three days' journey to provide rest for them.

For as yet you have not arrived at the rest and the inheritance, which the Lord our God gives you.

So I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest.

and as cattle through a plain; the Spirit came down from the Lord, and guided them; thus You led Your people, to make Yourself a glorious name.

Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.

For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not have spoken afterward of another day.

Then there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
