  • 11. Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

  • 15. [Saying,] Touch not mine anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm.
  • 16. And he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole staff of bread.
  • 17. He sent a man before them: Joseph was sold for a bondman.
  • 18. They afflicted his feet with fetters; his soul came into irons;
  • 19. Until the time when what he said came about: the word of Jehovah tried him.
  • 20. The king sent and loosed him -- the ruler of peoples -- and let him go free.

  • 27. They set his signs among them, and miracles in the land of Ham.
  • 28. He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
  • 29. He turned their waters into blood, and caused their fish to die.

  • 31. He spoke, and there came dog-flies, [and] gnats in all their borders.
  • 32. He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land;
  • 33. And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees of their borders.

  • 42. For he remembered his holy word, [and] Abraham his servant;
  • 43. And he brought forth his people with gladness, his chosen with rejoicing;
  • 44. And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the labour of the peoples:
  • 45. That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Hallelujah!
