But the midwives feared God and didn't do what the king of Egypt told them. Instead, they let the boys live.

Going out the next day, Moses noticed two Hebrew men fighting right in front of him. He told the one who was at fault, "Why did you strike your companion?"

"Then where is he?" He asked his daughters. "Why did you leave the man behind? Go invite him to have something to eat."

Then Moses answered, "Look, they won't believe me and they won't listen to me. Instead, they'll say, "The LORD didn't appear to you.'"

The Israeli supervisors whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had appointed over them were beaten and told, "Why didn't you, both yesterday and today, fulfill your quota for making bricks as before?"

I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, and did I not reveal to them my name "LORD'?

Then Moses reported this to the Israelis, but they did not listen to Moses due to their irritation and impatience because there was no deliverance and because of the cruel bondage.

Then Moses said right in front of the LORD, "Look, the Israelis didn't listen to me, so how will Pharaoh? I'm not a persuasive speaker."

Moses and Aaron did what the LORD commanded them.

So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and did what the LORD had commanded them. Aaron threw his staff in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent.

Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and sorcerers, and they along with the Egyptian magicians did the same thing with their secret arts.

Yet Pharaoh's heart was stubborn and he did not listen to them, just as the LORD had said would happen.

Moses and Aaron did just what the LORD had commanded. Aaron raised his staff and struck the water in the Nile River in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and all the water in the Nile River turned to blood.

But the Egyptian magicians did the same thing with their secret arts. Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he did not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

But the magicians did the same thing with their secret arts, and they brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.

The LORD did just as Moses asked, and the frogs died in the houses, in the courtyards, and in the fields.

But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not listen to them, just as the LORD had predicted.

They did this. Aaron stretched his hand out with his staff, struck the dust of the land, and gnats came on people and animals all the dust of the ground became gnats throughout the land of Egypt.

The magicians told Pharaoh, "It is the finger of God!" But Pharaoh's heart was stubborn and he did not listen to them, just as the LORD had predicted.

The LORD did this, and dense swarms of insects came into the house of Pharaoh and into the houses of his servants. The land was ruined throughout Egypt because of the swarms of insects.

The LORD did what Moses asked, and the swarms of insects departed from Pharaoh, his officials, and his people. Not one remained.

But this time also Pharaoh hardened his heart, and he did not let the people go.

The LORD did this thing the next day, and all the livestock of the Egyptians died. But not one of the livestock died that belonged to the Israelis.

But whoever did not pay attention to the message from the LORD left his servants and his livestock outside in the fields.

Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he did not let the Israelis go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.

The LORD made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not want to let them go.

Moses and Aaron did all these wonders in front of Pharaoh, but the LORD made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he would not let the Israelis go out from his land.

The Israelis did this. Moses and Aaron did just what the LORD had commanded.

All the Israelis did this. They did exactly as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron.

And you are to tell your child on that day, "This is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.'

When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them along the road through the land of the Philistines, even though it was nearer, because God had said, "If the people face war, they may change their minds and return to Egypt."

I've made Pharaoh's heart stubborn so he will pursue them. But I'll receive honor by means of Pharaoh and his army, so that the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD." So this is what the Israelis did.

coming between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. The cloud remained there even in the darkness, illuminating the night, so that the one side did not come near the other all night.

Then Moses led Israel from the Reed Sea and they went to the desert of Shur. They traveled into the desert for three days and did not find water.

When the Israelis saw it, they asked one another, "What is it?", because they did not know what it was.

The Israelis did this, some gathering much, some little.

When they measured it with a vessel the capacity of which was one omer, the one who gathered much did not have an excess, while the one who gathered little did not lack. They gathered exactly what each needed to eat.

But they did not listen to Moses some people left part of it until morning, and it produced maggots and smelled bad, so Moses got angry at them.

So they put it away until morning, as Moses commanded, and it did not smell bad, and there were no maggots in it.

Nevertheless, that seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find any.

But the people were thirsty there for water, so they complained against Moses: "Why did you bring us up from Egypt to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?"

I'll be standing there in front of you on the rock at Horeb. You are to strike the rock and water will come out of it, so the people can drink." Moses did this in front of the elders of Israel.

So Joshua did as Moses told him and fought against the Amalekites, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said.

"You saw what I did to the Egyptians, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.

If he didn't lie in wait, but God let him fall into his reach, then I'll appoint for you a place to which he may flee.

But if the ox has gored previously, and its owner has been warned about it but didn't restrain it, and it kills a man or woman, the ox is to be stoned and its owner also is to be put to death.

But if it was known that the ox had gored previously, and its owner didn't restrain it, he shall certainly repay ox for ox, and the dead ox will become his."

Because God did not punish the Israeli leaders, they looked at God, yet lived to eat and drink.

Then Moses asked Aaron, "What did this people do to you that you brought such great sin upon them?"

The descendants of Levi did just as Moses told them, and about 3,000 people died that day.

So the Israelis did not wear their ornaments from Mount Horeb onward.

While Moses was there with the LORD for 40 days and 40 nights, he did not eat or drink. He wrote the Ten Commandments, the words of the covenant, on the tablets.

When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, he had the two tablets in his hand, and he did not know that the skin of his face was ablaze with light because he had been speaking with God.

Each board had two pegs, joined to one another, and he did this for all the boards of the tent.

They were joined together at the bottom and they were connected on top, by one ring. He did this for the two of them, and they were the two corners.

Moses did everything that the LORD had commanded him, so he did.
