Exod 13:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Exod 13:2 “Set apart to Me all the first-born, the one opening the womb
among the children of Yisra’ĕl, among man and among beast, it is Mine.”
Exod 13:3 And Mosheh said to the people, “Remember this day in which
you went out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery. For by strength of
hand יהוה brought you out of this place, and whatever is leavened shall not be
eaten.
Exod 13:4 “Today you are going out, in the month Aḇiḇ.
Exod 13:5 “And it shall be, when יהוה brings you into the land of the
Kena‛anites, and the Ḥittites, and the Amorites, and the Ḥiwwites, and the
Yeḇusites, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with
milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.
Exod 13:6 “Seven days you eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is
a festival to יהוה.
Exod 13:7 “Unleavened bread is to be eaten the seven days, and whatever is
leavened is not to be seen with you, and leaven is not to be seen with you
within all your border.
Exod 13:8 “And you shall inform your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because
of what יהוה did for me when I came up from Mitsrayim.’
Exod 13:9 “And it shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a reminder
between your eyes, that the Torah of יהוה is to be in your mouth, for with a
strong hand יהוה has brought you out of Mitsrayim.
Exod 13:10 “And you shall guard this law at its appointed time from year to
year.
Exod 13:11 “And it shall be, when יהוה brings you into the land of the
Kena‛anites, as He swore to you and your fathers, and gives it to you,
Exod 13:12 that you shall pass over to יהוה every one opening the womb, and
every first-born that comes from your livestock, the males belong to יהוה.
Exod 13:13 “But every first-born of a donkey you are to ransom with a
lamb. And if you do not ransom it, then you shall break its neck. And every
first-born of man among your sons you are to ransom.
Exod 13:14 “And it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come,
saying, ‘What is this?’ then you shall say to him, ‘By strength of hand יהוה
brought us out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage.
Exod 13:15 ‘And it came to be, when Pharaoh was too hardened to let us go,
that יהוה killed every first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both the first-born of
man and the first-born of beast. Therefore I am slaughtering to יהוה every
male that open the womb, but every first-born of my sons I ransom.’
Exod 13:16 “And it shall be as a sign on your hand and as frontlets between
your eyes, for by strength of hand יהוה brought us out of Mitsrayim.”
Exod 13:17 And it came to be, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that
Elohim did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, though that
was nearer, for Elohim said, “Lest the people regret when they see fighting,
and return to Mitsrayim.”
Exod 13:18 So Elohim led the people around by way of the wilderness of
the Sea of Reeds. And the children of Yisra’ĕl went up armed from the land
of Mitsrayim.
Exod 13:19 And Mosheh took the bones of Yosĕph with him, for he certainly
made the children of Yisra’ĕl swear, saying, “Elohim shall certainly visit
you, and you shall bring my bones from here with you.”
Exod 13:20 And they departed from Sukkoth and camped in Ĕtham at the
edge of the wilderness.
Exod 13:21 And יהוה went before them by day in a column of cloud to lead
the way, and by night in a column of fire to give them light, so as to go by day
and night.
Exod 13:22 The column of cloud did not cease by day, nor the column of fire
by night, before the people.

Exod 14:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Exod 14:2 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they turn and camp before
Pi Haḥiroth, between Miḡdol and the sea, opposite Ba‛al Tsephon – camp
before it by the sea.
Exod 14:3 “For Pharaoh shall say of the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘They are
entangled in the land, the wilderness has closed them in.’
Exod 14:4 “And I shall harden the heart of Pharaoh, and he shall pursue
them. But I am to be esteemed through Pharaoh and over all his army, and the
Mitsrites shall know that I am .יהוה” And they did so.
Exod 14:5 And it was reported to the sovereign of Mitsrayim that the people
had fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the
people. And they said, “Why have we done this, that we have let Yisra’ĕl go
from serving us?”
Exod 14:6 So he made his chariot ready and took his people with him.
Exod 14:7 And he took six hundred choice chariots, and all the chariots of
Mitsrayim with officers over all of them.
Exod 14:8 And יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh sovereign of Mitsrayim,
and he pursued the children of Yisra’ĕl, but the children of Yisra’ĕl went out
defiantly.
Exod 14:9 And the Mitsrites pursued them, and all the horses and chariots of
Pharaoh, and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the
sea beside Pi Haḥiroth, before Ba‛al Tsephon.
Exod 14:10 And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Yisra’ĕl lifted
their eyes and saw the Mitsrites coming up after them. And they were greatly
afraid, so the children of Yisra’ĕl cried out to יהוה.
Exod 14:11 And they said to Mosheh, “Did you take us away to die in the
wilderness because there are no graves in Mitsrayim? What is this you have
done to us, to bring us up out of Mitsrayim?
Exod 14:12 “Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Mitsrayim, saying,
‘Leave us alone and let us serve the Mitsrites?’ For it would have been
better for us to serve the Mitsrites than to die in the wilderness.”
Exod 14:13 And Mosheh said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still,
and see the deliverance of יהוה, which He does for you today. For the
Mitsrites whom you see today, you are never, never to see again.
Exod 14:14 “ יהוה does fight for you, and you keep still.”
Exod 14:15 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Why do you cry to Me? Speak to the
children of Yisra’ĕl, and let them go forward.
Exod 14:16 “And you, lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the
sea and divide it, and let the children of Yisra’ĕl go on dry ground through
the midst of the sea.
Exod 14:17 “And I, see I am hardening the hearts of the Mitsrites, and they
shall follow them. And I am to be esteemed through Pharaoh and over all his
army, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Exod 14:18 “And the Mitsrites shall know that I am יהוה, when I am
esteemed through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
Exod 14:19 And the Messenger of Elohim, who went before the camp of
Yisra’ĕl, moved and went behind them. And the column of cloud went from
before them and stood behind them,
Exod 14:20 and came between the camp of the Mitsrites and the camp of
Yisra’ĕl. And it was the cloud and the darkness, and it gave light by night,
and the one did not come near the other all the night.
Exod 14:21 And Mosheh stretched out his hand over the sea. And יהוה
caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the
sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.
Exod 14:22 And the children of Yisra’ĕl went into the midst of the sea on
dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their
left.
Exod 14:23 And the Mitsrites pursued and went after them into the midst of
the sea, all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Exod 14:24 And it came to be, in the morning watch, that יהוה looked down
upon the army of the Mitsrites through the column of fire and cloud, and He
brought the army of the Mitsrites into confusion.
Exod 14:25 And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them
with difficulty. And the Mitsrites said, “Let us flee from the face of Yisra’ĕl,
for יהוה fights for them against the Mitsrites.”
Exod 14:26 Then יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand over the sea,
and let the waters come back upon the Mitsrites, on their chariots, and on
their horsemen.”
Exod 14:27 And Mosheh stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea
returned to its usual flow, at the break of day, with the Mitsrites fleeing into
it. Thus יהוה overthrew the Mitsrites in the midst of the sea,
Exod 14:28 and the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the
horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them, and
not even one was left of them.
Exod 14:29 And the children of Yisra’ĕl walked on dry ground in the midst
of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their left.
Exod 14:30 Thus יהוה saved Yisra’ĕl that day out of the hand of the
Mitsrites, and Yisra’ĕl saw the Mitsrites dead on the seashore.
Exod 14:31 And Yisra’ĕl saw the great work which יהוה had done in
Mitsrayim, and the people feared יהוה, and believed יהוה and His servant
Mosheh.

and spoke, saying, “I sing to יהוה, for He is highly exalted! The horse and its

stone.
Exod 15:6 “Your right hand, O יהוה, has become great in power. Your right
hand, O יהוה, has crushed the enemy.
Exod 15:7 “And in the greatness of Your excellence You pulled down those
who rose up against You. You sent forth Your wrath, it consumed them like
stubble.
Exod 15:8 “And with the wind of Your nostrils the waters were heaped up,
the floods stood like a wall, the depths became stiff in the heart of the sea.
Exod 15:9 “The enemy said, ‘I pursue, I overtake, I divide the spoil, my
being is satisfied on them. I draw out my sword, my hand destroys them.’
Exod 15:10 “You did blow with Your wind, the sea covered them, they sank
like lead in the mighty waters.
Exod 15:11 “Who is like You, O יהוה, among the mighty ones? Who is like
You, great in set-apartness, awesome in praises, working wonders?

of Philistia.
Exod 15:15 “Then the chiefs of Eḏom were troubled, the mighty men of
Mo’aḇ, trembling grips them, all the inhabitants of Kena‛an melted.
Exod 15:16 “Fear and dread fell on them, by the greatness of Your arm they
are as silent as a stone, until Your people pass over, O יהוה, until the people,
whom You have bought, pass over.
Exod 15:17 “You bring them in and plant them in the mountain of Your
inheritance, in the place, O יהוה, which You have made for Your own
dwelling, the set-apart place, O יהוה, which Your hands have prepared.
Exod 15:18 “ יהוה reigns forever and ever.”
Exod 15:19 For the horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his
horsemen into the sea, and יהוה brought back the waters of the sea upon them.
And the children of Yisra’ĕl went on dry ground in the midst of the sea.
Exod 15:20 And Miryam the prophetess, the sister of Aharon, took the
timbrel in her hand. And all the women went out after her with timbrels and
with dances.
Exod 15:21 And Miryam answered them, “Sing to יהוה, for He is highly
exalted! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”
Exod 15:22 And Mosheh brought Yisra’ĕl from the Sea of Reeds, and they
went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the
wilderness and found no water.
Exod 15:23 And they came to Marah, and they were unable to drink the
waters of Marah, for they were bitter. So the name of it was called Marah.
Exod 15:24 And the people grumbled against Mosheh, saying, “What are we
to drink?”
Exod 15:25 Then he cried out to יהוה, and יהוה showed him a tree. And when
he threw it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a
law and a right-ruling for them, and there He tried them.
Exod 15:26 And He said, “If you diligently obey the voice of יהוה your
Elohim and do what is right in His eyes, and shall listen to His commands
and shall guard all His laws, I shall bring on you none of the diseases I
brought on the Mitsrites, for I am יהוה who heals you.”
Exod 15:27 And they came to Ĕlim, where there were twelve fountains of
water and seventy palm trees. And they camped there by the waters.

Exod 16:1 And they set out from Ĕlim, and all the congregation of the
children of Yisra’ĕl came to the Wilderness of Sin, which is between Ĕlim
and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their going out of the
land of Mitsrayim.
Exod 16:2 And all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl grumbled
against Mosheh and Aharon in the wilderness.
Exod 16:3 And the children of Yisra’ĕl said to them, “If only we had died by
the hand of יהוה in the land of Mitsrayim, when we sat by the pots of meat and
when we ate bread to satisfaction! For you have brought us out into this
wilderness to put all this assembly to death with hunger.”
Exod 16:4 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “See, I am raining bread from the
heavens for you. And the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every
day, in order to try them, whether they walk in My Torah or not.
Exod 16:5 “And it shall be on the sixth day that they shall prepare what they
bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.”
Exod 16:6 And Mosheh and Aharon said to all the children of Yisra’ĕl, “At
evening you shall know that יהוה has brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim.
Exod 16:7 “And in the morning you shall see the esteem of יהוה, for He hears
your grumblings against יהוה. And what are we, that you grumble against us?”
Exod 16:8 And Mosheh said, “In that יהוה gives you meat to eat in the
evening, and in the morning bread to satisfaction, for יהוה hears your
grumblings which you make against Him. And what are we? Your grumblings
are not against us but against יהוה.”
Exod 16:9 And Mosheh said to Aharon, “Say to all the congregation of the
children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘Come near before יהוה, for He has heard your
grumblings.’ ”
Exod 16:10 And it came to be, as Aharon spoke to all the congregation of
the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they looked toward the wilderness and see, the
esteem of יהוה appeared in the cloud.
Exod 16:11 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Exod 16:12 “I have heard the grumblings of the children of Yisra’ĕl. Speak
to them, saying, ‘Between the evenings you are to eat meat, and in the
morning you are to be satisfied with bread. And you shall know that I am יהוה
your Elohim.’ ”
Exod 16:13 And it came to be that quails came up at evening and covered
the camp, and in the morning the dew lay all around the camp.
Exod 16:14 And the layer of dew went up, and see, on the surface of the
wilderness, was a small round substance, as fine as frost on the ground.
Exod 16:15 And the children of Yisra’ĕl saw, and they said to each other,
“What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Mosheh said to them,
“It is the bread which יהוה has given you to eat.
Exod 16:16 “This is the word which יהוה has commanded: ‘Let every man
gather it according to each one’s need, an omer for each being, according to
the number of beings. Let every man take for those who are in his tent.’ ”
Exod 16:17 And the children of Yisra’ĕl did so and gathered, some more,
some less.
Exod 16:18 And they measured it by omers, and he who gathered much did
not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little. Each
one gathered according to his need.
Exod 16:19 And Mosheh said, “Let no one leave any of it until morning.”
Exod 16:20 And they did not listen to Mosheh, so some of them left part of it
until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Mosheh was wroth with
them.
Exod 16:21 And they gathered it every morning, each one according to his
need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.
Exod 16:22 And it came to be, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as
much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation
came and told Mosheh.
Exod 16:23 And he said to them, “This is what יהוה has said, ‘Tomorrow is
a rest, a Sabbath set-apart to יהוה. That which you bake, bake; and that which
you cook, cook. And lay up for yourselves all that is left over, to keep it until
morning.’ ”
Exod 16:24 And they laid it up till morning, as Mosheh commanded. And it
did not stink, and no worm was in it.
Exod 16:25 And Mosheh said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to יהוה,
today you do not find it in the field.
Exod 16:26 “Gather it six days, but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath,
there is none.”
Exod 16:27 And it came to be that some of the people went out on the
seventh day to gather, but they found none.
Exod 16:28 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “How long shall you refuse to guard
My commands and My Torot?
Exod 16:29 “See, because יהוה has given you the Sabbath, therefore He is
giving you bread for two days on the sixth day. Let each one stay in his place,
do not let anyone go out of his place on the seventh day.”
Exod 16:30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Exod 16:31 And the house of Yisra’ĕl called its name Manna. And it was
like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like thin cakes made with
honey.
Exod 16:32 And Mosheh said, “This is the word which יהוה has
commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it, to keep for your generations, so that they
see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out
of the land of Mitsrayim.’ ”
Exod 16:33 And Mosheh said to Aharon, “Take a pot and put an omer of
manna in it, and set it down before יהוה, to keep for your generations.”
Exod 16:34 As יהוה commanded Mosheh, so did Aharon set it down before
the Witness, to keep.
Exod 16:35 And the children of Yisra’ĕl ate manna forty years, until they
came to an inhabited land. They ate manna until they came to the border of
the land of Kena‛an.
Exod 16:36 And an omer is one-tenth of an ĕphah.
