СКАЧАТЬ my salvation;This is my God, and I will glorify Him;My father's God, and I will exalt Him.³The Lord is a man of war,The Lord is His name.⁴Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath He cast into the sea,And his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.⁵The deeps cover them—They went down into the depths like a stone.⁶Thy right hand, O Lord, glorious in power,Thy right hand, O Lord, dasheth in pieces the enemy.⁷And in the greatness of Thine excellency Thou overthrowest them that rise up against Thee;Thou sendest forth Thy wrath, it consumeth them as stubble.⁸And with the blast of Thy nostrils the waters were piled up—The floods stood upright as a heap;The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.⁹The enemy said:'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil;My lust shall be satisfied upon them;I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.'¹⁰Thou didst blow with Thy wind, the sea covered them;They sank as lead in the mighty waters.¹¹Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the mighty?Who is like unto Thee, glorious in holiness,Fearful in praises, doing wonders?¹²Thou stretchedst out Thy right hand—The earth swallowed them.¹³Thou in Thy love hast led the people that Thou hast redeemed;Thou hast guided them in Thy strength to Thy holy habitation.¹⁴The peoples have heard, they tremble;Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.¹⁵Then were the chiefs of Edom affrighted;The mighty men of Moab, trembling taketh hold upon them;All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.¹⁶Terror and dread falleth upon them;By the greatness of Thine arm they are as still as a stone;Till Thy people pass over, O Lord,Till the people pass over that Thou hast gotten.¹⁷Thou bringest them in, and plantest them in the mountain of Thine inheritance,The place, O Lord, which Thou hast made for Thee to dwell in,The sanctuary, O Lord, which Thy hands have established.¹⁸The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

      ¹⁹For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.

      ²⁰And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. ²¹And Miriam sang unto them:

      Sing ye to the Lord, for He is highly exalted:The horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea.

²²And Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. ²³And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called ⁶Marah. ²⁴And the people murmured against Moses, saying: 'What shall we drink?' ²⁵And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There He made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He proved them; ²⁶and He said: 'If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His eyes, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon thee, which I have put upon the Egyptians; for I am the Lord that healeth thee.'

      ²⁷And they came to Elim, where were twelve springs of water, and three score and ten palm-trees; and they encamped there by the waters.

      16And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt. ²And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness; ³and the children of Israel said unto them: 'Would that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.'

⁴Then said the Lord unto Moses: 'Behold, I will cause to rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in My law, or not. ⁵And it shall come to pass on the sixth day that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.' ⁶And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel: 'At even, then ye shall know that the Lord hath brought you out from the land of Egypt; ⁷and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the Lord; for that He hath heard your murmurings against the Lord; and what are we, that ye murmur against us?' ⁸And Moses said: 'This shall be, when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against Him; and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord.' ⁹And Moses said unto Aaron: 'Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel: Come near before the Lord; for He hath heard your murmurings.' ¹⁰And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud. ¹¹And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying: ¹²'I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak unto them, saying: At dusk ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God.' ¹³And it came to pass at even, that the quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew round about the camp. ¹⁴And when the layer of dew was gone up, behold upon the face of the wilderness a fine, scale-like thing, fine as the hoar-frost on the ground. ¹⁵And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another: ⁷'What is it?'—for they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them: 'It is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat. ¹⁶This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded: Gather ye of it every man according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, shall ye take it, every man for them that are in his tent.' ¹⁷And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less. ¹⁸And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating. ¹⁹And Moses said unto them: 'Let no man leave of it till the morning.' ²⁰Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and rotted; and Moses was wroth with them. ²¹And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating; and as the sun waxed hot, it melted. ²²And it came to pass that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one; and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. ²³And he said unto them: 'This is that which the Lord hath spoken: To-morrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto the Lord. Bake that which ye will bake, and seethe that which ye will seethe; and all that remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.' ²⁴And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade; and it did not rot, neither was there any worm therein. ²⁵And Moses said: 'Eat that to-day; for to-day is a sabbath unto the Lord; to-day ye shall not find it in the field. ²⁶Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.' ²⁷And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather, and they found none. ²⁸And the Lord said unto Moses: 'How long refuse ye to keep My commandments and My laws? ²⁹See that the Lord hath given you the sabbath; therefore He giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.' ³⁰So the people rested on the seventh day. ³¹And the house of Israel called the name thereof ⁸Manna; and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. ³²And Moses said: 'This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded: Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.' ³³And Moses said unto Aaron: 'Take a jar, and put an omerful of manna therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept throughout your generations.' ³⁴As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept. ³⁵And the children of Israel did eat the manna forty years, until they came to СКАЧАТЬ
