From the time I went to speak to Pharaoh in your name, he has caused trouble<n id="1" /> for this people, and you have certainly not rescued<n id="2" /> them!&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

Jethro said, &#8220;Blessed<n id="1" /> be the <sc>Lordsc> who has delivered you from the hand of Egypt, and from the hand of Pharaoh, who has delivered the people from the Egyptians&#8217; control!<n id="2" />

So the Israelites stripped off their ornaments by Mount Horeb.p>

The <sc>Lordsc><n id="1" /> gave the people favor<n id="2" /> in the sight of the Egyptians, and they gave them whatever they wanted,<n id="3" /> and so they plundered Egypt.<n id="4" />p>

and the other Eliezer (for Moses had said,<n id="1" /> &#8220;The God of my father has been my help<n id="2" /> and delivered<n id="3" /> me from the sword of Pharaoh&#8221;).p>

They said, &#8220;An Egyptian man rescued us<n id="1" /> from the shepherds,<n id="2" /> and he actually<n id="3" /> drew water for us and watered the flock!&#8221;

Every<n id="1" /> woman will ask her neighbor and the one who happens to be staying<n id="2" /> in her house for items of silver and gold<n id="3" /> and for clothing. You will put these articles on your sons and daughters &#8211; thus you will plunder Egypt!&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Jethro rejoiced<n id="1" /> because of all the good that the <sc>Lordsc> had done for Israel, whom he had delivered from the hand of Egypt.

I have come down<n id="1" /> to deliver them<n id="2" /> from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up from that land to a land that is both good and spacious,<n id="3" /> to a land flowing with milk and honey,<n id="4" /> to the region of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.<n id="5" />

Therefore, tell the Israelites, &#8216;I am the <sc>Lordsc>. I will bring you out<n id="1" /> from your enslavement to<n id="2" /> the Egyptians, I will rescue you from the hard labor they impose,<n id="3" /> and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.

then you will say, &#8216;It is the sacrifice<n id="1" /> of the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s Passover, when he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt, when he struck<n id="2" /> Egypt and delivered our households.&#8217;&#8221; The people bowed down low<n id="3" /> to the ground,

Moses told his father-in-law all that the <sc>Lordsc> had done to Pharaoh and to Egypt for Israel&#8217;s sake, and all the hardship<n id="1" /> that had come on them<n id="2" /> along the way, and how<n id="3" /> the <sc>Lordsc> had delivered them.p>
