²⁴ and God heareth their groaning, and God remembereth His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;

⁴² For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,

⁵ and also I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians are causing to serve, and I remember My covenant.

³ sojourn in this land, and I am with thee, and bless thee, for to thee and to thy seed I give all these lands, and I have established the oath which I have sworn to Abraham thy father;

⁴⁵ And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.

²⁰ To hear the groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of death,

¹¹ Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before Thee, According to the greatness of Thine arm, Leave Thou the sons of death.

⁶ O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

⁷ He `is' Jehovah our God, In all the earth `are' His judgments.

⁸ He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,

⁹ That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,

¹⁰ And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel -- a covenant age-during,

¹¹ Saying, `To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'

¹² In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.

¹³ And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.

³ In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul `with' strength.

⁷² To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant,

⁷³ An oath that He sware to Abraham our father,

²⁴ For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth.

⁵ Unto Thee they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they trusted, and were not ashamed.

²⁷ and Thou givest them into the hand of their adversaries, and they distress them, and in the time of their distress they cry unto Thee, and Thou, from the heavens, dost hear, and, according to Thine abundant mercies, dost give to them saviours, and they save them out of the hand of their adversaries.

²⁸ `And when they have rest, they turn back to do evil before Thee, and Thou dost leave them in the hand of their enemies, and they rule over them; and they turn back, and call Thee, and Thou from the heavens dost hear, and dost deliver them, according to Thy mercies, many times,

⁷ `And I have established My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee;

¹⁸ and Abraham certainly becometh a nation great and mighty, and blessed in him have been all nations of the earth?

²⁴ and Jehovah appeareth unto him during that night, and saith, `I `am' the God of Abraham thy father, fear not, for I `am' with thee, and have blessed thee, and have multiplied thy seed, because of Abraham My servant;'

¹² And he dreameth, and lo, a ladder set up on the earth, and its head is touching the heavens; and lo, messengers of God are going up and coming down by it;

¹³ and lo, Jehovah is standing upon it, and He saith, `I `am' Jehovah, God of Abraham thy father, and God of Isaac; the land on which thou art lying, to thee I give it, and to thy seed;

¹⁴ and thy seed hath been as the dust of the land, and thou hast broken forth westward, and eastward, and northward, and southward, and all families of the ground have been blessed in thee and in thy seed.

²⁸ And he saith, `Thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast been a prince with God and with men, and dost prevail.'

² and God speaketh to Israel in visions of the night, and saith, `Jacob, Jacob;' and he saith, `Here `am' I.'

³ And He saith, `I `am' God, God of thy father, be not afraid of going down to Egypt, for for a great nation I set thee there;

⁴ I -- I go down with thee to Egypt, and I -- I also certainly bring thee up, and Joseph doth put his hand on thine eyes.'

¹⁸ And when Jehovah raised up to them judges -- then was Jehovah with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repenteth Jehovah, because of their groaning from the presence of their oppressors, and of those thrusting them away.

⁸ and didst find his heart stedfast before Thee, so as to make with him the covenant, to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give `it' to his seed. `And Thou dost establish Thy words, for Thou `art' righteous,

⁹ and dost see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and their cry hast heard by the sea of Suph,

¹⁴ and the nation also whom they serve I judge, and after this they go out with great substance;

¹⁵ and thou -- thou comest in unto thy fathers in peace; thou art buried in a good old age;

¹⁶ and the fourth generation doth turn back hither, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.'

¹⁷ And it cometh to pass -- the sun hath gone in, and thick darkness hath been -- and lo, a furnace of smoke, and a lamp of fire, which hath passed over between those pieces.
