And lo! seven heifers more coming up after them out of the river, uncomely in appearance and lean in flesh, - and they came and stood beside the heifers, by the lip of the river.

so shall the river swarm with frogs, and they shall come up, and enter into thy house, and into thy bedchamber and upon thy couch, - and into the house of thy servants and among thy people, and into thine ovens and into thy kneading-troughs:

And Moses said to Pharaoh - Explain thyself unto me: For what time, shall I make entreaty for thee and for thy servants and for thy people, to cause the frogs to be cut off, from thee and from thy houses, - only in the river, shall they remain?

so the frogs shall depart - from thee and from thy houses and from thy servants and from thy people, - only in the river, shall they remain.

Lo! the river becometh insolent - he is not alarmed! He is confident, though a Jordan burst forth to his mouth:

A river! whose channels, shall gladden the city of God, The Most High, hath hallowed his habitation.

So let him have dominion, From sea to sea, And from the River unto the ends of the earth;

It thrust forth its branches as far as the sea, - And, unto the River, its shoots.

He opened the rock, and there gushed forth waters, They flowed along, through parched places, as a river;

In that day, will My Lord shave, with hired razor, even with them of the lands over the River Euphrates, with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet, - yea, even the beard, will it sweep off.

Thus came I unto them of the captivity, at Tel-abib. who were dwelling towards he river Chebar and I dwelt where They were dwelling; yea I dwelt there seven days, stunned in their midst,

So I arose and went forth into the valley, and lo! there the glory of Yahweh, standing, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar,-and I fell upon my face.

Then arose the cherubim, - the same, was the living one, which I had seen by the river Chebar.

The same, was the living one which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar,- then knew I that cherubim, they were.

And the land of Egypt shall become an astonishment and desolation, go shall they know that, I, am Yahweh, - Because he said - The river is mine own, Since, I, myself made it!

And abandoned him, - Upon the mountains and in all valleys, have fallen his waving branches And broken have been his boughs in all the river-beds of the land, And all the peoples of the earth have come down out of his shade. And abandoned him:

And it was like the appearance of the vision which I had seen like the vision which I saw - when I came in to destroy the city, also the visions were like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar, - so I fell upon my face.

Then measured he a thousand - a river which I could not pass through - for the waters had risen-waters to swim in, la river, that could not be forded.

Then said he unto me Hast thou seen son of man? Then he took me along and caused me to return to the bank of the river.
