So the people murmured against Moses, saying, “What can we drink?”

So Joshua destroyed Amalek and his army with the sword.

“You must not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.

Whoever makes anything like it, to use as perfume, will be cut off from his people.”

Then the Lord relented over the evil that he had said he would do to his people.

When Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, “What is this that you are doing for the people? Why are you sitting by yourself, and all the people stand around you from morning until evening?”

For how will it be known then that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not by your going with us, so that we will be distinguished, I and your people, from all the people who are on the face of the earth?”

So now go, and I will send you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.”

Pharaoh was thinking, “The people of the land are now many, and you are giving them rest from their labor.”

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!”
