⁵ He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I didn't know.

¹ When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of foreign language;

¹⁵ Behold, I will bring a nation on you from far, house of Israel, says Yahweh: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you don't know, neither understand what they say.

⁴⁹ Yahweh will bring a nation against you from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies; a nation whose language you shall not understand;

²¹ In the law it is written, "By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. Not even thus will they hear me, says the Lord."

²² Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

¹⁵ You have redeemed your people with your arm, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

⁴ Moses said, "This is what Yahweh says: 'About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt,

⁶ Who drink wine in bowls, And anoint themselves with the best oils; But they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

²⁰ and make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am Yahweh your God.

¹¹ No, but by [men of] strange lips and with another language will he speak to this people;

¹ > Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock, You who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.

² Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us!

⁶ That the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; Who should arise and tell their children,

⁴⁵ these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt,

¹⁴ It shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What is this?' that you shall tell him, 'By strength of hand Yahweh brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage;

¹⁵ and it happened, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that Yahweh killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of animal. Therefore I sacrifice to Yahweh all that opens the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.'

¹⁶ It shall be for a sign on your hand, and for symbols between your eyes: for by strength of hand Yahweh brought us forth out of Egypt."

⁸ You shall tell your son in that day, saying, 'It is because of that which Yahweh did for me when I came forth out of Egypt.'

⁹ It shall be for a sign to you on your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that the law of Yahweh may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand Yahweh has brought you out of Egypt.

²⁹ It happened at midnight, that Yahweh struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.

²⁷ that you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of Yahweh's Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, and spared our houses.'" The people bowed their heads and worshiped.

¹² For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. Against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am Yahweh.
