⁷Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph.

⁸And He saveth them for His name’s sake, To make known His might,

⁹And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.

¹⁰And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.

¹¹And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.

¹²And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,

¹³They have hasted—forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.

¹⁴And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.

¹⁵And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul.

¹⁶And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah’s holy one.

¹⁷Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.

¹⁸And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.

¹⁹They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,

²⁰And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs.

²¹They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt,

²²Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.

²³And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.

²⁴And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.

²⁵And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.

²⁶And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,

²⁷And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.
