unto Pharaoh
<06547>

and to the Egyptians
<04714>

for Israel's
<03478>

sake
<0182>_,

[and] all the travail
<08513>

that had come

Now I know
<03045> (8804)

that the LORD
<03068>

[is] greater
<01419>

than all gods

for in the thing
<01697>

wherein they dealt proudly
<02102> (8804)

[he was] above them.

to judge
<08199> (8800)

the people
<05971>_:

<05971>

stood
<05975> (8799)

by Moses
<04872>

from the morning

What [is] this thing
<01697>

that thou doest
<06213> (8802)

to the people
<05971>_?

why sittest
<03427> (8802)

thou thyself alone, and all the people
<05971>

stand
<05324> (8737)

by thee from morning
<01242>
