11 And in those days, when Moses was grown, he went forth to his brothers and observed their burdens. He also saw an Egyptian striking one of his Hebrew brothers.
12 And he looked around. And when he saw no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
13 Again, he came forth the next day. And behold, two Hebrews fought. And he said to him who did the wrong, “Why do you strike your friend?”
14 And he answered, “Who made you a man of authority, and a judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me, as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses feared and said, “Certainly this thing is known.”
15 Now Pharaoh heard this matter and sought to kill Moses. Therefore, Moses fled from Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian. And he sat down by a well.
16 And the priest of Midian had seven daughters who came and drew water and filled the troughs to water their father’s sheep.
17 Then, the shepherds came and drove them away. But Moses rose up and defended them and watered their sheep.
18 And when they came to Reuel, their father, he said, “Why have you come so soon today?”
19 And they said, “A man of Egypt delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and also drew us enough water and watered the sheep.
20 Then he said to his daughters, “And, where is he? Why have you left the man so? Call him, so that he may eat.”
21 And Moses agreed to dwell with the man, who gave his daughter, Zipporah, to Moses.
22 And she bore a son, whose name he called, Gershom. For he said, “I have been a stranger in a strange land.”
23 Then, in process of time, the king of Egypt died. And the children of Israel sighed for the bondage and cried. And their cry for the bondage came up to God.
24 Then God heard their moan; and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 So God looked upon the children of Israel. And God had respect to them.
3 When Moses kept the sheep of Jethro, his father-in-law, priest of Midian, (and drove the flock to the back side of the desert, and came to the Mountain of God, Horeb),
2 then the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire, out of the midst of a bush. And he looked. And behold, the bush burned with fire; and the bush was not consumed.
3 Therefore, Moses said, “I will turn aside, now, and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.”
4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, “Moses. Moses.” And he answered, “I am here.”
5 Then he said, “Do not come here. Take off your shoes, for the place whereon you stand is Holy ground.”
6 Moreover, He said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
7 Then the LORD said, “I have surely seen the trouble of My people who are in Egypt. And I have heard their cry, because of their taskmasters. For I know their sorrows.
8 “Therefore, I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them out of that land into a good and large land, into a land that flows with milk and honey, into the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.
9 “And now, lo, the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me. And I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
10 “Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”
11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
12 And He answered, “Certainly I will be with you. And this shall be a sign to you, that I have sent you. After you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God upon this mountain.”
13 Then Moses said to God, “Behold, when I shall come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you’, if they say to me, ‘What is his Name?’ what shall I say to them?”
14 And God answered Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” Also, He said, “Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
15 And God spoke further to Moses, “Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, ‘The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob has sent me to you’. This is My Name, forever. And this is My memorial to all ages.
16 “Go and gather the elders of Israel together; and you shall say to them, ‘The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob appeared to me, and said, “I have surely remembered you and that which is done to you in Egypt.
17 “Therefore I said, ‘I will bring you out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land that flows with milk and honey.’”
18 “Then they shall obey My voice. And you and the elders of Israel shall go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us. We ask you now, therefore, please let us go three days’ journey in the wilderness, so that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.’
19 “But, I know that the king of Egypt will only let you go by a strong hand.
20 “Therefore, I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in the midst thereof. And after that, he shall let you go.
21 “And I will make this people favored by the Egyptians, so that when you go, you shall not go empty.
22 “For every woman shall ask of her neighbor (and of her who sojourns in her house) jewels of silver and jewels of gold and clothing. And you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters and shall plunder the Egyptians.”
10 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Why, then, do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11 And Jesus answered, and said to them, “Certainly Elijah must come first, and restore all things.
12 “But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him. But they have done to him whatever they would. Likewise, the Son of Man shall also suffer by them.”
13 Then the disciples perceived that He spoke to them of John Baptist.
14 And when they had come to the multitude, a certain man came to Him and fell down at His feet,
15 and said, “Master, have pity on my son. For he is lunatic and suffers greatly. For he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
16 “And I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not heal him.”
17 Then Jesus answered, and said, “O faithless and crooked generation. How long now shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.”
18 And Jesus rebuked the demon. And he went out of him. And the child was healed at that hour.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why could not we cast it out?”
20 And Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, if you have faith as much as is a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, and it shall move. And nothing shall be impossible to you.
21 “Nevertheless, this kind only comes out by prayer and fasting.”
22 And while they were in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
23 “And they shall kill Him. But the third day He shall rise again.” And they were very sorrowful.
24 And when they had come to Capernaum, those who received the temple tax came to Peter, and said, “Does not your Master pay temple taxes?
25 He said, “Yes.” And when he had come into the house, Jesus stopped him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the Earth take tribute (or temple taxes) - from their children, or from strangers?
26 Peter said to Him, “From strangers.” Then Jesus said to him, “Then the children are free.”
27 Nevertheless, so that we should not offend them, go to the sea and cast in a hook. And take the first fish that comes up. And when you have opened its mouth, you shall find a coin. Take it, and give it to them for you and Me.
22 My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me; are so far from My health and from the words of My roaring?
2 O, My God, I cry by day, but You do not hear; and by night but have no audience.
3 But You are Holy and inhabit the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in You. They trusted, and You delivered them.
5 They called upon You and were delivered. They trusted in You and were not confounded.
6 But I am a worm, and not a man, a shame of men and the contempt of the people.
7 All those who see Me, hold Me in derision. They shoot out the lip and nod the head, saying,
8 “He trusted in the LORD. Let Him deliver Him. Let Him save Him, seeing He loves Him.”
9 But You drew Me out of the womb. You gave Me hope, even at My mother’s breasts.
10 I was cast upon You, even from the womb. You are My God, from My mother’s belly.
11 Be not far from Me, because trouble is near. For there is no one to help.
12 Many young bulls have surrounded Me. Mighty bulls of Bashan have encircled Me.
13 They gape upon Me with their mouths, a ramping and roaring lion.
14 I am like water poured out; and all My bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It is molten in the midst of My core.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and My tongue clings to My jaws; and You have brought Me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs have surrounded Me; the assembly of the wicked have encircled Me. They pierced My hands and My feet.
17 I count all My bones. They behold and look upon Me.
18 They part My garments among them and cast lots upon My clothing.
7 Hear me now, therefore, O children, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.
8 Keep your way far from her and do not come near the door of her house,
9 lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel;
10 lest the stranger should be filled with your strength and your labors be in the house of a stranger.
11 And you mourn at your end (when you have consumed your flesh and your body)
12 and say, “How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised correction;
13 “and have not obeyed the voice of those who taught me, nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me?!
14 “I was almost brought into all evil in the midst of the Congregation and assembly.”
