lesserot@Exodus:15:22 @ And Moses caused Israel to depart from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

lesserot@Exodus:15:23 @ And they came to Marah; but they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore they called its name Marah.

lesserot@Exodus:15:24 @ And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

lesserot@Exodus:15:25 @ And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord showed him a tree, which he cast into the waters, and the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them.

lesserot@Exodus:15:26 @ And he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his eyes, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and wilt keep all his statutes: I will put none of those diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I the Lord am thy physician.

lesserot@Exodus:15:27 @ And they came to Elim, and there were twelve wells of water, and seventy palmtrees: and they encamped there by the water.

lesserot@Exodus:16:1 @ And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

lesserot@Exodus:16:2 @ And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:

lesserot@Exodus:16:3 @ And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the fleshpot, when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

lesserot@Exodus:16:4 @ Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will let rain for you bread from heaven; and the people shall go out and gather a certain portion every day, in order that I may prove it, whether it will walk in my law, or not.

lesserot@Exodus:16:5 @ And it shall come to pass, on the sixth day, when they prepare what they shall have brought in, that it shall be twice as much as they shall gather daily.

lesserot@Exodus:16:6 @ And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At evening, then shall ye know that it is the Lord who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:

lesserot@Exodus:16:7 @ And in the morning, then shall ye see the glory of the Lord; since he heareth your murmurings against the Lord; and what are we, that ye should murmur against us?

lesserot@Exodus:16:8 @ And Moses said, When the Lord giveth you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to the full; since the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him:what are we then? not against us are your murmurings, but against the Lord.

lesserot@Exodus:16:9 @ And Moses said unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the Lord; for he hath heard your murmurings.

lesserot@Exodus:16:10 @ And it came to pass, as Aaron was speaking unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they turned round toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.

lesserot@Exodus:16:11 @ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

lesserot@Exodus:16:12 @ I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, Toward evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Eternal your God.

lesserot@Exodus:16:13 @ And it came to pass, that at evening the quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew round about the camp.

lesserot@Exodus:16:14 @ And when the layer of dew was gone up, behold, there was upon the face of the wilderness something fine in grains, small as the hoarfrost, on the ground.

lesserot@Exodus:16:15 @ And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna, for they knew not what it was; and Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.

lesserot@Exodus:16:16 @ This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating: an omer for every head, according to the number of your persons that every man hath in his tent, shall ye take.

lesserot@Exodus:16:17 @ And the children of Israel did so; and they gathered, some much, some little.

lesserot@Exodus:16:18 @ And when they measured it with an omer, he that had gathered much had nothing over, and he that had gathered little had no lack: every man according to his eating, had they gathered.

lesserot@Exodus:16:19 @ And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.

lesserot@Exodus:16:20 @ But they hearkened not unto Moses; but some men left of it until morning, and it bred worms, and stank; and Moses was wroth with them.

lesserot@Exodus:16:21 @ And so they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating; and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

lesserot@Exodus:16:22 @ And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twofold bread, two omers for every one; all the rulers of the congregation came and told it to Moses.

lesserot@Exodus:16:23 @ And he said unto them. This is what the Lord hath spoken, A rest, a holy rest is unto the Lord tomorrow: that which ye will bake bake today, and what ye will seethe seethe today; and all the remaining lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

lesserot@Exodus:16:24 @ And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses had bidden; and it did not stink, nor was there any worm therein.

lesserot@Exodus:16:25 @ And Moses said, Eat it today; for a sabbath is this day unto the Lord: today ye will not find it in the field.

lesserot@Exodus:16:26 @ Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day, the sabbath, on it there shall be none.

lesserot@Exodus:16:27 @ And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather; but they found nothing.

lesserot@Exodus:16:28 @ And the Lord said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

lesserot@Exodus:16:29 @ See, that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day bread for two days; remain ye, every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

lesserot@Exodus:16:30 @ So the people rested on the seventh day.

lesserot@Exodus:16:31 @ And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna,; and it was like corianderseed, white, and its taste was like wafers made with honey.

lesserot@Exodus:16:32 @ And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, One omerfull of it is to be kept for your generations; in order that they may see the bread which I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.

lesserot@Exodus:16:33 @ And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a flask, and put therein an omerfull of manna, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.

lesserot@Exodus:16:34 @ As the Lord had commanded Moses, so did Aaron lay it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

lesserot@Exodus:16:35 @ And the children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; the manna they did eat, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

lesserot@Exodus:16:36 @ But the omer is a tenth part of an ephah.

lesserot@Exodus:17:1 @ And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeyings, by the order of the Lord; and they encamped in Rephidim, and there was no water for the people to drink.

lesserot@Exodus:17:2 @ And the people quarrelled with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink; and Moses said unto them, Why will ye quarrel with me? why will ye tempt the Lord?

lesserot@Exodus:17:3 @ And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, For what purpose is it that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill me and my children and my cattle with thirst?

lesserot@Exodus:17:4 @ And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people? but little is wanting and they will stone me.

lesserot@Exodus:17:5 @ And the Lord said unto Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee some of the elders of Israel; and thy staff, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, and go.

lesserot@Exodus:17:6 @ Behold, I will be standing before thee there upon the rock at Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come out from it water, and the people shall drink; and Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Israel.

lesserot@Exodus:17:7 @ And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah; because of the quarrelling of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is then the Lord among us, or not?

lesserot@Exodus:17:8 @ Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

lesserot@Exodus:17:9 @ And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose for us men, and go out, fight with Amalek; tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.

lesserot@Exodus:17:10 @ And Joshua did as Moses had said to him, to fight with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Chur went up to the top of the hill.

lesserot@Exodus:17:11 @ And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, that Amalek prevailed.

lesserot@Exodus:17:12 @ But when the hands of Moses became heavy, they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Chur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

lesserot@Exodus:17:13 @ And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

lesserot@Exodus:17:14 @ And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in the book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua; for I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.

lesserot@Exodus:17:15 @ And Moses built an altar, and called its name Adonay Nissy.

lesserot@Exodus:17:16 @ And he said, Because the Lord hath sworn on his throne, that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

lesserot@Exodus:18:1 @ And Jithro, the priest of Midian, Moses fatherinlaw, heard all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, that the Lord had brought forth Israel out of Egypt.

lesserot@Exodus:18:2 @ Then took Jithro, the fatherinlaw of Moses, Zipporah, the wife of Moses, after he had sent her back,

lesserot@Exodus:18:3 @ And her two sons; of whom the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been a stranger in a foreign land:

lesserot@Exodus:18:4 @ And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.

lesserot@Exodus:18:5 @ And Jithro, the fatherinlaw of Moses, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses, unto the wilderness, where he was encamped at the mount of God.

lesserot@Exodus:18:6 @ And he sent word unto Moses, I thy fatherinlaw Jithro am coming unto thee, with thy wife, and her two sons with her.

lesserot@Exodus:18:7 @ And Moses went out to meet his fatherinlaw, and bowed himself, and kissed him; and they asked each other after their welfare; and they went into the tent.

lesserot@Exodus:18:8 @ And Moses told his fatherinlaw all which the Lord had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians on account of Israel, all the hardship which had come upon them by the way, and how the Lord had delivered them.

lesserot@Exodus:18:9 @ And Jithro rejoiced over all the goodness which the Lord had done to Israel, that he had delivered it out of the hand of the Egyptians.

lesserot@Exodus:18:10 @ And Jithro said, Blessed be the Lord, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

lesserot@Exodus:18:11 @ Now I know that the Eternal is great above all gods; for by the very thing wherein they sinned presumptuously was punishment brought upon them.

lesserot@Exodus:18:12 @ And Jithro, the fatherinlaw of Moses, offered a burntoffering and sacrifices unto God; and Aaron came, with all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with the fatherinlaw of Moses, before God.

lesserot@Exodus:18:13 @ And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people; and the people stood around Moses from the morning unto the evening.

lesserot@Exodus:18:14 @ And the fatherinlaw of Moses saw all that he did to the people; and he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people standeth around thee from morning until evening?

lesserot@Exodus:18:15 @ And Moses said unto his fatherinlaw, Because the people cometh unto me to inquire of God.

lesserot@Exodus:18:16 @ When they have a matter of dispute, they come unto me; and I judge between one and the other, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.

lesserot@Exodus:18:17 @ And the fatherinlaw of Moses said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.

lesserot@Exodus:18:18 @ Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee; for the thing is too heavy for thee; thou wilt not be able to perform it by thyself alone.

lesserot@Exodus:18:19 @ Now hearken unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and may God be with thee, Be thou for the people a mediator with God, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God.

lesserot@Exodus:18:20 @ And thou shalt explain to them the statutes and the laws; and thou shalt make them know the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.

lesserot@Exodus:18:21 @ Moreover, thou shalt select out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating gain; and place these over them, as rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

lesserot@Exodus:18:22 @ And let them judge the people at all times; and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge themselves: so shall it be easier for thee, when they shall bear with thee.

lesserot@Exodus:18:23 @ If thou wilt do this thing, and God commandeth it thee, then wilt thou be able to endure; and also the whole of this people will come to its place in peace.

lesserot@Exodus:18:24 @ And Moses hearkened to the voice of his fatherinlaw, and did all that he had said.

lesserot@Exodus:18:25 @ And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and placed them as heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

lesserot@Exodus:18:26 @ And they judged the people at all times; any difficult cause they brought unto Moses, but every small cause they judged themselves.

lesserot@Exodus:18:27 @ And Moses dismissed his fatherinlaw; and he went his way unto his own land.
