I will put a division<n id="1" /> between my people and your people. This sign will take place<n id="2" /> tomorrow.&#8221;&#8217;&#8221;

No straw is given to your servants, but we are told,<n id="1" /> &#8216;Make bricks!&#8217; Your servants are even<n id="2" /> being beaten, but the fault<n id="3" /> is with your people.&#8221;p>

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>

For by now I could have stretched out<n id="1" /> my hand and struck you and your people with plague, and you would have been destroyed<n id="2" /> from the earth.

<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>

You will surely wear out,<n id="1" /> both you and these people who are with you, for this is too<n id="2" /> heavy a burden<n id="3" /> for you; you are not able to do it by yourself.

Now listen to me,<n id="1" /> I will give you advice, and may God be with you: You be a representative for the people to God,<n id="2" /> and you bring<n id="3" /> their disputes<n id="4" /> to God;

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;If you lend money to any of<n id="1" /> my people who are needy among you, do not be like a moneylender<n id="2" /> to him; do not charge<n id="3" /> him interest.<n id="4" />

But in the seventh year<n id="1" /> you must let it lie fallow and leave it alone so that the poor of your people may eat, and what they leave any animal in the field<n id="2" /> may eat; you must do likewise with your vineyard and your olive grove.

<p class="bodytext">The <sc>Lordsc> spoke to Moses: &#8220;Go quickly, descend,<n id="1" /> because your<n id="2" /> people, whom you brought up from the land of Egypt, have acted corruptly.

<p class="bodytext">He said, &#8220;See, I am going to make<n id="1" /> a covenant before all your people. I will do wonders such as have not been done<n id="2" /> in all the earth, nor in any nation. All the people among whom you live will see the work of the <sc>Lordsc>, for it is a fearful thing that I am doing with you.<n id="3" />p>

He replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Surely I will be with you,<n id="2" /> and this will be the sign<n id="3" /> to you that I have sent you: When you bring the people out of Egypt, you and they will serve<n id="4" /> God on this mountain.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">The <sc>Lordsc> said to Moses, &#8220;I am going to come<n id="1" /> to you in a dense cloud,<n id="2" /> so that the people may hear when I speak with you and so that they will always believe in you.&#8221;<n id="3" /> And Moses told the words of the people to the <sc>Lordsc>.p>

The <sc>Lordsc> said to him, &#8220;Go, get down, and come up, and Aaron with you, but do not let the priests and the people force their way through to come up to the <sc>Lordsc>, lest he break through against them.&#8221;

Now if I have found favor in your sight, show me<n id="1" /> your way, that I may know you,<n id="2" /> that I may continue to find<n id="3" /> favor in your sight. And see<n id="4" /> that this nation is your people.&#8221;p>

No one is to come up with you; do not let anyone be seen anywhere on the mountain; not even the flocks or the herds may graze in front of that mountain.&#8221;
