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?

Then Moses cried out to the Lord, “What should I do with these people? In a little while 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.

I am going to stand there in front of you on the rock at Horeb; when you hit the rock, water will come out of it and the people will drink.” Moses did this in the sight 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.

Moses said to Joshua, “Select some men for us and go fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the hilltop with God’s staff 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.

The Lord then said to Moses, “Write this down on a scroll as a reminder and recite it to Joshua: I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek under heaven.”

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

He said, “Indeed, my hand is lifted up toward the Lord’s throne. The Lord will be at war 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?

And Moses will say to his father-in-law, Because the people will come to me to seek God.

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.

Fading, thou wilt fade away, also thou, also this people that is with thee: for this word is heavy for thee; thou wilt not be able to do it thyself alone.

Now hear to my voice, I will advise thee, and God will be with thee: be thou for the people towards God, and bring thou their words 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 they judged the people in all time: and it will be every great word they will bring to thee, and every small word they shall judge: and it will be light for thee, and they shall lift up with thee.

If thou do this thing, and God command thee so, thou wilt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place 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 Jehovah will call to him from the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob and shalt announce to the sons of Israel:

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.

Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

and you will be to me 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 will answer together, and will say, All which Jehovah spake, we will do. And Moses turned back the words of the people to Jehovah.

And Jehovah will say to Moses, Behold me coming to thee in the darkness of the cloud, so that the people shall hear in my speaking with thee, and also in thee shall they believe forever. And Moses will announce the words of the people to Jehovah.

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

And be ye prepared for the third day, for in the third day Jehovah will come down before the eyes of all the people upon mount Sinai.

You must set boundaries for the people all around, saying, 'Take heed to yourselves not to go up on the mountain nor touch its edge. Whoever touches the mountain will surely be put to death!

No hand will touch him -- but he will surely be stoned or shot through, whether a beast or a human being; he must not live.' When the ram's horn sounds a long blast they may go up on 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.

And Jehovah will say to Moses, Go down: protest to the people lest they shall break in to Jehovah to see, and a multitude fall from them.

Even the priests who come near the Lord must purify themselves or the Lord will break out in anger against 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

And Jehovah will say to him, Go; come down, and come up, thou and Aaron with thee: and the priests and the people shall not break in to come up to Jehovah lest he shall break forth upon 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.

Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain: for Jehovah will not cleanse him who shall take his name in vain.

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 will say to Moses, Speak thou with us and we will hear: and God shall not speak with us lest we shall die.

And Moses will say to the people, Ye shall not fear; for for this cause God came to try you, that his fear shall be to your faces, so that ye shall not sin.

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

And Jehovah will say to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the sons of Israel, Ye saw that from the heavens I spake with you.

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

An altar of earth shalt thou make to me, and sacrifice upon it thy burnt-offering and thy peace, and thy sheep and thy cattle: and in every place where I shall cause my name to be remembered, I will come to thee and bless thee.

And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

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

"These are the decisions that you will set before them:

"If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years, but in the seventh year he will go out free without paying anything.

If he came in by himself he will go out by himself; if he had a wife when he came in, then his wife will go out with him.

If his master gave him a wife, and she bore sons or daughters, the wife and the children will belong to her master, and he will go out by himself.

And if saying, the servant shall say, I loved my lord, my wife and my sons; I will not go forth free:

then his master must bring him to the judges, and he will bring him to the door or the doorposts, and his master will pierce his ear with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.

"If a man sells his daughter as a female servant, she will not go out as the male servants do.

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.

But if these three, he will not do for her, then shall she go out for nought, without silver.

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

And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.

But if a man willfully attacks his neighbor to kill him cunningly, you will take him even from my altar that he may 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 can later get up and walk around outside leaning on his staff, then the one who struck him will be exempt from punishment. Nevertheless, he must pay for his lost work time and provide for his complete recovery.

"If a man strikes his male servant or his female servant with a staff so that he or she dies as a result of the blow, he will surely be punished.

However, if the injured servant survives one or two days, the owner will not be punished, for he has suffered the loss.

If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
