" Yet I [am] the LORD your God Ever since the land of Egypt, And you shall know no God but Me; For [there is] no Savior besides Me.

I knew you in the wilderness, In the land of great drought.

Thus all the children of Israel did; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

And it came to pass, on that very same day, that the LORD brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their armies.

And Moses said to the people: "Remember this day in which you went out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out of this [place.] No leavened bread shall be eaten.

"When Jacob had gone into Egypt, and your fathers cried out to the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt and made them dwell in this place.

You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Then he remembered the days of old, Moses [and] his people, [saying:] "Where [is] He who brought them up out of the sea With the shepherd of His flock? Where [is] He who put His Holy Spirit within them,

Who led [them] by the right hand of Moses, With His glorious arm, Dividing the water before them To make for Himself an everlasting name,

I raised up some of your sons as prophets, And some of your young men as Nazirites. [Is it] not so, O you children of Israel?" Says the LORD.

"But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, And commanded the prophets saying, 'Do not prophesy!'

For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, I redeemed you from the house of bondage; And I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

"For Moses truly said to the fathers, 'The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you.

'And it shall be [that] every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.'

"This Moses whom they rejected, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge?' is the one God sent [to be] a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush.

" This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, 'The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear.'
