26
He
1sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron,
2whom he had chosen.
27
3They performed his signs among them and miracles in
4the land of Ham.
28
He
5sent darkness, and made the land dark; they
6did not rebel against his words.
29
He turned their waters into blood and
7caused their fish to die.
30
Their land swarmed with frogs, even in
8the chambers of their kings.
31
He spoke, and there came
9swarms of flies,
10and gnats throughout their country.
32
He gave them hail for rain, and fiery
11lightning bolts through their land.
33
He struck down their vines and fig trees, and
12shattered the trees of their country.
34
He spoke, and the
13locusts came, young locusts without number,
35
which devoured all the vegetation in their land and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36
He
14struck down all the firstborn in their land,
15the firstfruits of all their strength.
37
Then he brought out Israel with
16silver and gold, and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
38
17Egypt was glad when they departed, for
18dread of them had fallen upon it.
39
He
19spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light by night.
40
20They asked, and he
21brought quail, and gave them
22bread from heaven in abundance.
41
He opened the rock, and
23water gushed out; it flowed through
24the desert like a river.
42
For he
25remembered his holy promise, and
26Abraham, his servant.
43
So he brought his people out with joy, his
27chosen ones with
28singing.
44
And he
29gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples' toil,
