¹ And the children of Israel went on from the waste land of Sin, by stages as the Lord gave them orders, and put up their tents in Rephidim: and there was no drinking-water for the people.

²⁰ Sometimes the cloud was resting on the House for two or three days; then, by the order of the Lord, they kept their tents in that place, and when the Lord gave the order they went on.

¹³ They went forward for the first time on their journey as the Lord had given orders by the hand of Moses.

⁶ And love is the keeping of his laws. This is the law which was given to you from the first, so that you might keep it.
