That same day Pharaoh commanded the slave masters and foremen who were over the people:

The Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is hard; he refuses to release the people.

The frogs will depart from you, your houses, your servants, and your people; they will be left only in the Nile.”

But if you refuse to release my people, I am going to bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.

The Egyptians were urging the people on, in order to send them out of the land quickly, for they were saying, “We are all dead!”

So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, with their kneading troughs bound up in their clothing on their shoulders.

The Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and they gave them whatever they wanted, and so they plundered Egypt.

He did not remove the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night from before the people.

By your loyal love you will lead the people whom you have redeemed; you will guide them by your strength to your holy dwelling place.

On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather it, but they found nothing.

Then Moses cried out to the Lord, “What will I do with this people? – a little more and they will stone me!”

Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God.

The Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and make them wash their clothes

He said to the people, “Be ready for the third day. Do not go near your wives.”

Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they took their place at the foot of the mountain.

The people kept their distance, but Moses drew near the thick darkness where God was.

Moses alone may come near the Lord, but the others must not come near, nor may the people go up with him.”

Whoever makes perfume like it and whoever puts any of it on someone not a priest will be cut off from his people.’”

So all the people broke off the gold earrings that were on their ears and brought them to Aaron.

So they got up early on the next day and offered up burnt offerings and brought peace offerings, and the people sat down to eat and drink, and they rose up to play.
