7 Now after these things i t
came about that the wife of

he would refuse? and would say

a shffh t o a very stiff west wlnd,

vah let Phar'aoh's heart become

2 1 Jehovah then said to Mo-
ses: "Stretch your hand out to-
ward the heavens,' that dark-

of Egypt and the darkness m a y

that he will send YOU away from

Jehovah gave the people favor

The m a n M w s too was very

and on the day of my bringing

vah began plaguing the people
because they had made the calf,
which Aaron had rnade.a
33 And Jehovah said further
to Moses: *Go. move ua
from here, you and' the ped-
ple whom you led up out of
the land of Egypt,c to the land
about which 1 swore to Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob, saying,
'To your seed I shall give it.'d
2 And I will send an angel

the Ca'naanites, the Am'orites,
and the Hit'tltes and the Per'-

Jeblu.sites:f 3 to a land flow-
ing with milk and honey,# for
I shall not go up in the mldst
of you, because you are a stifl-
necked geople,h that I may not
exterminate you on the way."'
4 When the people got t o
hear this evil word, they began
to rnourn:l and none of them
p u t his ornaments on himself.
5 And Jehovah went on to say
t o Moses: "Say to the sons of
Israel. 'You are a stiff-necked
peop1e.k In one moment' I could
go u p into the midst of you
and certainly exterminate you.
So now put down your orna-
ments off yourself, as I want
t o know what I am going to

6 And the sons
of Israel went stripping their
ornaments off themselves from
Mount Ho'rebu onward.
7 As for Moses, he pmceed-
ed to take his tent away and
he pitched i t outside the camp,
far away from the camp: and
he called i t a tent of meeting.
And i t occurred that everyone
inquiringo of Jehovah would go
out to the tent of meeting,
whlch was outs~dethe camp.
8 And it occurred that as soon
as Moses went out tu the tent,
all the people would rise,p and
they stationed themselves each
one a t the entrance of hls own

B I t also occurred that as soon

2 1 And Jehovah sald further:
