And the people will thirst there for water; and the people will murmur against Moses, and will say, For what this did ye bring us up out of Egypt to kill us and our sons and our cattle with thirst?

And Moses cried out to Yahweh, saying, "What will I do with this people? A little longer and they will stone me."

And Jehovah will say to Moses, Pass over before the people and take with thee from the old men of Israel; and thy rod which thou didst strike with it the river, take in thy hand and go.

Look, I [will be] standing before you there on the rock in Horeb, and you will strike the rock, and water will come out from it, and the people will drink." And Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Israel.

And he will call the name of the place, Temptation, and Strife, for the contention of the sons of Israel, and because they tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah in the midst of us or not?

And Amalek will come and will wage war with Israel, in Rephidim.

And Moses said to Joshua, "Choose men for us, and go out, fight against Amalek tomorrow. I [will be] standing on the top of the hill, and the staff of God [will be] in my hand."

And Joshua will do as Moses said to him to wage war with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron and Hur, went up to the head of the hill.

And it was as Moses will lift up his hand, Israel prevailed: and as he will put down his hand and Amalek prevailed.

And the hands of Moses were heavy; and they will take a stone and put under him, and he will sit upon it: and Aaron and Hur took hold upon his hands, one from here, and one from there; and his hands will be in firmness till the sun went forth.

And Joshua will overthrow Amalek and his people with the mouth of the sword.

And Yahweh said to Moses, "Write this [as] a memorial in the scroll and {recite it in the hearing of} Joshua, because I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens."

And Moses will build an altar, and he will call its name, Jehovah my Standard.

And he said, "Because a hand [was] against the throne of Yah, a war [will be] for Yahweh with Amalek from generation [to] generation."

And Jethro, priest of Midian, the father-in-law of Moses, will hear all which God did to Moses and to Israel his people, for Jehovah brought forth Israel out of Egypt:

And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, will take Zipporah, Moses' wife, after her sending forth,

And the name of the one Eliezer; for the God of my father for my help, and he will take me away from the sword of Pharaoh.

And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, will come, and and his sons and his wife, to Moses to the desert, where he encamped there in the mountain of God.

And he will say to Moses, I thy father-in-law, Jethro, came to thee, and thy wife and her two sons with her.

And Moses will go forth to the meeting of his father-in-law, and will worship him and kiss him: and they will ask each his friend of peace; and they will come into the tent.

And Moses will recount to his father-in-law all which Jehovah did to Pharaoh, and to Egypt on account of Israel, all the distress which found them in the way; and Jehovah will deliver them.

And Jethro will rejoice for all the good which Jehovah did to Israel, whom he took away out of the hand of Egypt.

And Jethro will say, Praised be Jehovah who took you away out of the hand of Egypt, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who took away the people from under the hand of Egypt.

And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, will take a burnt-offering and sacrifices to God: and Aaron will come, and all the old men of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God.

And it will be on the morrow, and Moses will sit to judge the people: and they will stand by Moses from the morning to the evening.

And Moses' father-in-law will see all which he did for the people, and he will say, What this thou doest to the people? Wherefore wilt thou sit alone by thyself, and all the people stand by thee from morning to evening?

Moses told his father-in-law, "Because the people come to me to seek God's will.

For when the word will be to them, they came to me, and I judged between a man and between his friend, and I made known the laws Of God and his precepts.

And Moses' father-in-law will say to him, The word is not good which thou doest.

Surely you will wear out, both you and this people who [are] with you, because the thing [is too] {difficult} for you. You are not able to do it alone.

Now listen to my voice; I will advise you, and may God be with you. You be for the people before God, and you bring the issues to God.

And you will select from all the people men of ability, fearers of God, trustworthy men, haters of [dishonest] gain, and you will appoint [such men] over them [as] commanders of thousands, commanders of hundreds, commanders of fifties, and commanders of tens.

And let them judge the people all the time, {and} every major issue they will bring to you, and every minor issue they will judge themselves. And [so] lighten [it] for yourself, and they will bear [it] with you.

If you will do this thing and God will command you, [then] you will be able to endure, and also each of the people will go to his home in peace."

And Moses will hear to the voice of Jethro, and will do all that he said.

And Moses will choose men of ability from all Israel, and he will give them heads over the people, chiefs of thousands, chiefs of hundreds, chiefs of fifties, chiefs of ten.

And they judged the people in all time; and the hard word they brought to Moses, and every small word they will judge themselves.

And Moses will, send away his father-in-law, and he will go for himself to his land.

And they will remove from Rephidim, and they will come to the desert of Sinai, and they will encamp in the desert; and Israel will encamp there before the mountain.

And Moses went up to God, and Yahweh called to him from the mountain, saying, "Thus you will say to the house of Jacob and you will tell the {Israelites},

Ye saw what I did to Egypt, and I will lift you up upon the wings of eagles, and I will bring you to me.

And now if you will carefully listen to my voice and keep my covenant, you will be a treasured possession for me out of all the peoples, {for all the earth is mine},

but you, you will [belong] to me [as] a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words that you will speak to the {Israelites}."

And Moses will go and will call to the old men of the people, and he will set before them all these words that Jehovah commanded him.

And all the people together answered and said, "All that Yahweh has spoken we will do." And Moses brought back the words of the people to Yahweh.

And Yahweh said to Moses, "Look, I [am going to] come to you in {a thick cloud} in order that the people will hear when I speak with you and will also trust in you forever." And Moses told the words of the people to Yahweh.

And Jehovah will say to Moses, Go to the people and consecrate them this day, and the morrow; and they washed their garments,

and they must be prepared for the third day, because on the third day, Yahweh will go down on Mount Sinai before the eyes of all the people.

And you must set limits [for] the people all around, saying, 'Guard yourselves {against} going up to the mountain and touching its edge. Anyone touching the mountain will certainly be put to death.

Not a hand will touch it, because he will certainly be stoned or certainly be shot; whether an animal or a man, he will not live.' At the blowing of the ram's horn they may go up to the mountain."

And Moses will come down from the mount to the people, and he will consecrate the people; and they will wash their garments.

And he will say to the people, Be prepared; for three days ye shall not come near to a woman.

And it shall be in the third day, it being in the morning, and there shall be voices, and lightnings, and a heavy cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceedingly strong; and all the people in the camp will tremble.

And Moses will bring forth the people to the meeting of God out of the camp; and they will stand in the lower parts of the mount

And mount Sinai smoked all of it, because that Jehovah came down upon it in fire: and its smoke will go up as the smoke of the furnace, and all the mountain will tremble exceedingly.

And the voice of the trumpet will be going and strengthening exceedingly, Moses will speak and God will answer him by a voice.

And Jehovah will come down upon mount Sinai to the head of the mount: and Jehovah will call for Moses to the head of the mount and Moses will go up.

The Lord directed Moses, “Go down and warn the people not to break through to see the Lord; otherwise many of them will die.

Even the priests who approach the LORD must consecrate themselves. Otherwise, the LORD will attack them."

And Moses will say to Jehovah, The people shall not be able to come up to mount Sinai, for thou didst protest to us, saying, Set bounds to the mountain, and consecrate it

The LORD told him, "Go down, and come back up with Aaron, but the priests and the people must not break through to go up to the LORD. Otherwise, he will attack them."

And Moses will come down to the people and will say to them.

And God will speak all these words, saying,

You will not bow down to them, and you will not serve them, because I [am] Yahweh your God, a jealous God, punishing [the] guilt of [the] parents on the children on [the] third and on [the] fourth [generations] of those hating me,

And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.

"You shall not {misuse the name of Yahweh your God}, because Yahweh will not leave unpunished [anyone] who {misuses his name}.

Six days you will work, and you will do all your work.

But the seventh day [is] a Sabbath for Yahweh your God; you will not do any work--you or your son or your daughter, your male slave or your female slave, or your animal, or your alien who [is] in your gates--

For six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all which is in them, and he will rest in the seventh day: for this Jehovah praised the seventh day and consecrated it.

"You shall not covet the house of your neighbor; you will not covet the wife of your neighbor or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that [is] your neighbor's."

And all the people saw the voices and the flames, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and the people feared, and they will shake, and they will stand from far off.

And they said to Moses, "You speak with us, and we will listen, but let not God speak with us, lest we die."

And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. God has come to test you so that his fear will be before you so that you do not sin."

And the people will stand from far off, and Moses will draw near to the darkness where God is there.

And Yahweh said to Moses, "Thus you will say to the {Israelites}, 'You yourselves have seen that I have spoken to you from the heavens.

You will not make alongside me gods of silver, and gods of gold you will not make for yourselves.

An altar of earth you will make for me, and you will sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your fellowship offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I cause my name to be remembered, I will come to you, and I will bless you.

And if you make an altar of stones for me, you will not build them [as] hewn stone, because if you use your chisel on it, you have defiled it.

You will not go up with steps onto my altar, that your nakedness not be exposed on it.'

"And these are the regulations that you will set before them.

'If you buy a Hebrew slave, he will serve six years, and in the seventh he will go out as free for nothing.

If he comes in single, he will go out single. If he is the husband of a wife, his wife will go out with him.

If his master gives him a wife and she bears for him sons or daughters, the wife and her children will belong to her master, and [the slave] will go out single.

But if the slave explicitly says, "I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,"

his master will present him to God and bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master will pierce his ear with an awl, and he will serve him forever.

" 'And if a man sells his daughter as a slave woman, she will not go out as male slaves go out.

If {she does not please her master} who selected her, he will allow her to be redeemed; he has no authority to sell her to foreign people, since he has dealt treacherously with her.

If he designated her for his son, then he will deal with her according to the customary rights of daughters.

If he takes for himself another, he will not reduce her food, her clothing, or her right of cohabitation.

And if he does not do for her these three, she shall go out for nothing; there will not be silver [paid for her].

" '{Whoever strikes someone} and he dies will surely be put to death.

But if he did not lie in wait {and it was an accident}, I will appoint for you a place to which he may flee.

But if a man schemes against his neighbor to kill him by treachery, you will take him from my altar to die.

And {whoever strikes} his father or his mother will surely be put to death.

" 'And {whoever kidnaps someone} and sells him, or he is found in his possession, he will surely be put to death.

" 'And one who curses his father or his mother will surely be put to death.

if he stands and walks about in the outside on his staff, the striker will be unpunished; he will only pay for his inactivity {toward his full recovery}."

And if a man strikes his male slave or his female slave with the rod and he dies under his hand, he will surely be avenged.

Yet if he survives a day or two days, he will not be avenged, because he is his money.

"If two men are fighting and they strike a pregnant woman and her children are born prematurely, but there is no harm, he is certainly to be fined as the husband of the woman demands of him, and he will pay as the court decides.
