When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and will cover<n id="1" /> you with my hand<n id="2" /> while I pass by.<n id="3" />

<p class="poetry">Fear and dread<n id="1" /> will fall<n id="2" /> on them;p> <p class="poetry">by the greatness<n id="3" /> of your arm they will be as still as stone<n id="4" />p> <p class="poetry">until<n id="5" /> your people pass by, O <sc>Lordsc>,p> <p class="poetry">until the people whom you have bought<n id="6" /> pass by.p>

Everyone who crosses over to those numbered, from twenty years old and up, is to pay an offering to the <sc>Lordsc>.

then you must give over<n id="1" /> to the <sc>Lordsc> the first offspring of every womb.<n id="2" /> Every firstling<n id="3" /> of a beast that you have<n id="4" /> &#8211; the males will be the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s.<n id="5" />

Everyone who crosses over to those who are numbered<n id="1" /> is to pay this: a half shekel<n id="2" /> according to the shekel of the sanctuary<n id="3" /> (a shekel weighs twenty gerahs). The half shekel is to be an offering<n id="4" /> to the <sc>Lordsc>.

The <sc>Lordsc> passed by before him and proclaimed:<n id="1" /> &#8220;The <sc>Lordsc>, the <sc>Lordsc>,<n id="2" /> the compassionate and gracious<n id="3" /> God, slow to anger,<n id="4" /> and abounding in loyal love and faithfulness,<n id="5" />

<p class="bodytext">Moses instructed them to take<n id="1" /> his message<n id="2" /> throughout the camp, saying, &#8220;Let no man or woman do any more work for the offering for the sanctuary.&#8221; So the people were restrained from bringing any more.<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">I will pass through<n id="1" /> the land of Egypt in the same<n id="2" /> night, and I will attack<n id="3" /> all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both of humans and of animals,<n id="4" /> and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment.<n id="5" /> I am the <sc>Lordsc>.

For the <sc>Lordsc> will pass through to strike Egypt, and when he sees<n id="1" /> the blood on the top of the doorframe and the two side posts, then the <sc>Lordsc> will pass over the door, and he will not permit the destroyer<n id="2" /> to enter your houses to strike you.<n id="3" />

The <sc>Lordsc> said to Moses, &#8220;Go over before the people;<n id="1" /> take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand your staff with which you struck the Nile and go.

and he said to them, &#8220;Thus says the <sc>Lord,sc> the God of Israel, &#8216;Each man fasten<n id="1" /> his sword on his side, and go back and forth<n id="2" /> from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and each one kill his brother, his friend, and his neighbor.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

<p class="bodytext">And the <sc>Lordsc><n id="1" /> said, &#8220;I will make all my goodness<n id="2" /> pass before your face, and I will proclaim the <sc>Lordsc> by name<n id="3" /> before you; I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy.&#8221;<n id="4" />

one beka per person, that is, a half shekel,<n id="1" /> according to the sanctuary shekel, for everyone who crossed over to those numbered, from twenty years old or older,<n id="2" /> 603,550 in all.<n id="3" />
