15:1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yahweh, and said,

"I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously.The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.15:2 Yah is my strength and song.He has become my salvation.This is my God, and I will praise him;my father's God, and I will exalt him.15:3 Yahweh is a man of war.Yahweh is his name.15:4 He has cast Pharaoh's chariots and his army into the sea.His chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea 5.15:5 The deeps cover them.They went down into the depths like a stone.15:6 Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power.Your right hand, Yahweh, dashes the enemy in pieces.15:7 In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you.You send forth your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.15:8 With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up.The floods stood upright as a heap.The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.15:9 The enemy said, 'I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the spoil.My desire shall be satisfied on them.I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.'15:10 You blew with your wind.The sea covered them.They sank like lead in the mighty waters.15:11 Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods?Who is like you, glorious in holiness,fearful in praises, doing wonders?15:12 You stretched out your right hand.The earth swallowed them.15:13 "You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that you have redeemed.You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation.15:14 The peoples have heard.They tremble.Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.15:15 Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed.Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab.All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.15:16 Terror and dread falls on them.By the greatness of your arm they are as still as a stone--until your people pass over, Yahweh,until the people pass over who you have purchased.15:17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance,the place, Yahweh, which you have made for yourself to dwell in;the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.15:18 Yahweh shall reign forever and ever."

15:19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Yahweh brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea. 15:20 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances. 15:21 Miriam answered them,

"Sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously.The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea."

15:22 Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea 6, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. 15:23 When they came to Marah, they couldn't drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah. 715:24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?" 15:25 Then he cried to Yahweh. Yahweh showed him a tree, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested them; 15:26 and he said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Yahweh who heals you."

15:27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.

16:1 They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to 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. 16:2 The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness; 16:3 and the children of Israel said to them, "We wish that we had died by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."

16:4 Then said Yahweh to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not. 16:5 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."

16:6 Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, "At evening, then you shall know that Yahweh has brought you out from the land of Egypt; 16:7 and in the morning, then you shall see the glory of Yahweh; because he hears your murmurings against Yahweh. Who are we, that you murmur against us?" 16:8 Moses said, "Now Yahweh shall give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh." 16:9 Moses said to Aaron, "Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, 'Come near before Yahweh, for he has heard your murmurings.'" 16:10 It happened, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Yahweh appeared in the cloud. 16:11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 16:12 "I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, 'At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread: and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God.'"

16:13 It happened at evening that quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp. 16:14 When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground. 16:15 When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, "What is it?" For they didn't know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat." 16:16 This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: "Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent." 16:17 The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less. 16:18 When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating. 16:19 Moses said to them, "Let no one leave of it until the morning." 16:20 Notwithstanding they didn't listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was angry with them. 16:21 They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted. 16:22 It happened 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. 16:23 He said to them, "This is that which Yahweh has spoken, 'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.'" 16:24 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it didn't become foul, neither was there any worm in it. 16:25 Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. Today you shall not find it in the field. 16:26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none." 16:27 It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none. 16:28 Yahweh said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws? 16:29 Behold, because Yahweh has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day." 16:30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
