Our fathers, in Egypt, understood not thy wonders, They remembered not the abounding of thy lovingkindnesses, but rebelled by the sea - at the Red Sea. Yet he saved them, for the sake of his Name, to make known his mighty power; So he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, And he led them through deeps, as pasture-land; read more.
And saved them from the hand of one full of hatred, And redeemed them out of the hand of the foe; So the waters covered their adversaries, Not one from among them, was left. They believed therefore in his words, They sang his praise. Soon forgat they his works, - They waited not for his counsel; But lusted a lust in the desert, and tested GOD in the waste. So he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul. And they became jealous of Moses in the camp, - of Aaron the holy one of Yahweh; The earth opened and engulfed Dathan, and covered up the assembly of Abiram; Then was kindled a fire in their assembly, - a flame, consumed the lawless ones. They made a calf in Horeb, - and bowed down to a molten image; Thus changed they my glory, for the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. They forgat GOD their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt: Wonders in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea. Then would he have bidden to destroy them, - had not Moses his chosen, stood in the breach before him, To turn back his wrath from destroying. And they refused the delightful land, They believed not his word; But murmured in their tents, - They hearkened note unto the voice of Yahweh. So he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would let them fall in the desert; And would disperse their seed among the nations, and would scatter them throughout the lands. Yet they let themselves be bound to Baal-peor, - and did eat sacrifices to the dead: So they provoked to anger by their doings, and a plague, made a breach among them. Then stood up Phinehas, and interposed, and stayed was the plague: So it was counted unto him, for righteousness, To generation after generation, unto times age abiding. And they provoked by the waters of Meribah, - And it fared ill with Moses, for their sakes; For they embittered his spirit, and he spake rashly with his lips. They destroyed not the peoples of which Yahweh had spoken to them; But had fellowship with the nations, and learned their doings; Yea they served their idols, and they became to them a snare: Yea they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to mischievous demons; And poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, And the land was polluted with blood-shed; And they became unclean by their works, and became unchaste in their doings.

And the messenger of Yahweh came up from Gilgal, unto Bochim. And he said - I led you up out of Egypt, and brought you into the land, which I had sworn unto your fathers, And I said, I will not break my covenant with you, to times age-abiding; But, ye, must not solemnise a covenant with the inhabitants of this land, Their altars, must ye tear down, - But ye have not hearkened unto my voice, what is this ye have done? Wherefore also I said, I will not drive them out from before you, - but they shall be your adversaries, and, their gods, shall become unto you a snare.

So will I set thy bounds from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines and from the desert unto the River (Euphrates), - for I will deliver into your hand the inhabitants of the land, so shalt thou drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt not make with them or with their gods, a covenant: they shall not dwell in thy land, lest they cause thee to sin against me, - for thou mightest serve their gods, verily! it would become to thee a snare!
Take thou heed what, I, am commanding thee this day, - behold me! driving out from before thee - the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. Take heed to thyself, Lest thou solemnise a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, whereupon, thou, art about to enter, - Lest he become a snare in thy midst;
Take diligent heed, therefore, unto your souls, - to love Yahweh your God. But, if ye, do in any wise turn back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, these which remain with you, - and intermarry with them, and go in with them, and, they, with you; know, that Yahweh your God will no further drive out these nations from before you, - but they will become unto you a snare and a hook, and a goad in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye have perished from off this goodly soil, which Yahweh your God hath given unto you.
It is a snare to a man, that he should rashly cry Holy! and, after making vows, to reflect!
