He said to his people, “Look at the Israelite people, more numerous and stronger than we are!

I will put a division between my people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow.”’”

Then Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes.

You are still exalting yourself against my people by not releasing them.

So the people rested on the seventh day.

So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.

So the slave masters of the people and their foremen went to the Israelites and said, “Thus says Pharaoh: ‘I am not giving you straw.

From the time I went to speak to Pharaoh in your name, he has caused trouble for this people, and you have certainly not rescued them!”

On the next day Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from morning until evening.

and all the people answered together, “All that the Lord has commanded we will do!” So Moses brought the words of the people back to the Lord.

When all the people would see the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people, each one at the entrance of his own tent, would rise and worship.

So God treated the midwives well, and the people multiplied and became very strong.

So the people spread out through all the land of Egypt to collect stubble for straw.

Frogs will come up against you, your people, and all your servants.”’”

The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will seize the inhabitants of Philistia.
