Numbers 20:1-29 The Waters of Meribah

 

The Waters of Meribah

Numbers 20:1-29                The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

Then the whole congregation [of the] children [people] of Israel came into the Desert of Zin in the 1st month & stayed in Kadesh. Miriam [Aaron’s sister] died there & was buried there.

There was no water for the congregation & they gathered together against Moses & Aaron. The people [argued] with Moses, saying, [If only] God had [let us die,] when our brethren died before the Lord [God]!

[Why] have you brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, [so] we & our [livestock] should die there? [Why] have you made us come up out of Egypt, to bring us into this [bad] place?

[It’s not a] place of [grains,] figs, [grapevines,] or of pomegranates. Neither is there any water to drink. Moses & Aaron [left] the presence of the assembly [& went] to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation & fell upon their faces.

The glory of the Lord appeared to them. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Take the rod & you & your brother, Aaron & gather the assembly together.

Speak to the rock before their eyes & it shall give [out its] water & you shall bring to them water [out] of the rock, [so] you shall give the congregation & their [animals] water to drink. Moses took the rod [that was] before the Lord, as He commanded [Moses.]

Moses & Aaron gathered the congregation together [in front of] the rock & [Moses] said to them, Hear now, you rebels. Must we [get] you water out of this rock? Moses lifted up [his] hand & [struck] the rock twice with his rod.

The water came out abundantly & the congregation & so their [animals] drank [it.] The Lord [spoke] to Moses & Aaron, Because you [didn’t believe] Me & didn’t sanctify Me in the eyes of the children [people] of Israel,

Therefore, you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

This is the water of Meribah; because the [people] of Israel [argued] with the Lord & He was [Who] sanctified them.

Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom. Your brother, Israel, [said this,] You know all the [hardship] that has [happened to] us. How our [forefathers] went down into Egypt & we [lived] in Egypt a long time.

And the Egyptians [persecuted] us & our [forefathers.] And when we cried [out] to the Lord & He heard our voice & sent an angel & has brought us out of Egypt. [Look,] we are in Kadesh, a city in the [furthest part] of your border.

I pray [that] you let us pass through your country. We will not [go] through the fields or the vineyards. Neither will we drink the water [from] your wells. We will go [on] the King’s Highway. We will not turn to the right or to the left, until we have passed [through] your borders.

Edom said to him, You shall not pass by me, lest I come out against you with a sword. The children [people] of Israel said to him, We will go by the highway. If I & the [livestock] drink [any] of your water, then I will pay for it. I will only go through on my feet, without doing anything else.

[Edom’s king] said, You shall not go through. And Edom came out against [them] with [many] people & with a strong hand. Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border.

[Therefore,] Israel turned away from him. Even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh & came to Mount Hor. The Lord [spoke] to Moses & Aaron [at] Mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying, Aaron shall be gathered to his people.

For he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children [people] of Israel, because you rebelled against My Word at the water of Meribah.Take Aaron & Eleazar, his son & bring them up to Mount Hor. And strip Aaron of his [priest’s] garments & put them on Eleazar, his son.

Aaron shall be gathered to his people & shall die there. Moses did as the Lord commanded. And they went up into Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. Moses stripped Aaron of his garments & put them on Eleazar, his son.

Aaron died there [on] top of the [mountain] & Moses & Eleazar came down from the [mountain.] And when all the congregation [of] Israel saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron 30 days, even all the house of Israel.

Numbers 19:1-22 The Water of Purification

 

The Water of Purification

Numbers 19:1-22                The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

The Lord [spoke] to Moses & Aaron, This is an [rule] of the Law, which the Lord has commanded, saying, Speak to the children [people] of Israel, [so] they bring a red heifer, without spot & blemish [that] has never [had a] yoke [of a plow on it.]

You shall give her to Eleazar, the priest, [so] he may bring her [outside] the camp & [someone] shall [kill] her before [him.] Eleazar shall take [some] of her blood & sprinkle directly [in front of] the tabernacle of the congregation 7 times.

[Someone] shall burn the heifer, her skin, her flesh, her blood & her [feces] in [Eleazar’s] sight. [Eleazar,] the priest, shall take cedar wood, hyssop & scarlet & cast it into the midst of the burning heifer.

Then the priest shall wash his clothes & bathe his [body] in water. Afterward, he shall come into the camp & the priest shall be unclean until [evening.]

[The person who burns the heifer] shall wash his clothes in water & bathe his [body] in water & shall be unclean until [evening.]

A man [who] is clean, shall gather up the ashes of the heifer & store] them [outside] the camp in a clean place. It shall be kept for the congregation of the [people] of Israel for a water of separation. It’s for purification [from] sin.

[The person who gathers] the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes & be unclean until [evening.] It shall [be the same] for the [people] of Israel & the stranger [who temporarily stays with them,] as a [mandate] forever.

[The person who touches] the dead body of any man shall be unclean 7 days. He shall purify himself with iton the 3rd day. On the 7th day, he shall be clean. If he doesn’t purify himself on the 3rd day, he won’t be clean on the 7th day.

[Whoever] touches the dead body of any man & [doesn’t] purify himself , [defiles] the tabernacle of the Lord. That [person] shall be cut off from Israel, because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him. He shall be unclean & his uncleanness is [still] upon him.

This is the law, when a man [dies] in a tent: all [who] are in the tent or come into the tent, shall be unclean [for] 7 days. Every open [container] which has no cover upon it, is unclean.

[Whoever] touches [someone who] was [killed] with a sword in the open fields,  a dead body, a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean 7 days. For an unclean person, they shall take [some] of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin & running water shall be put [into] a vessel.

A clean person shall take hyssop & dip it in the [purification] water, & sprinkle it on the tent, upon all the vessels, upon the [people who] were there, on the [person who] touched a bone, [someone killed,] someone dead, or a grave.

The clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean [person] on the 3rd day & on the 7th day, he shall purify himself & wash his clothes & bathe himself in water & shall be clean [that evening.]

But the man [who] is unclean & doesn’t purify himself, shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he has [defiled] the sanctuary of the Lord. The water of separation hasn’t been sprinkled on him & he is unclean.

It shall be a perpetual [mandate] to them, that the [person who] sprinkles the water of separation shall wash his clothes. The [person who] touches the water of separation, shall be unclean until [evening.]

[Whatever] the unclean person touches, shall be unclean. The [person who] touches [that unclean item,] shall be unclean until [evening.]

Numbers 18:1-32 The Assistance of the Levites

 

The Assistance of the Levites

Numbers 18:1-32        The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

The Lord said to Aaron, You, your sons & your father’s house with you, shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary. You & you sons shall bear the iniquity [of the sins related to] your priesthood.

Also, bring your brethren, of the tribe of Levi, your [forefather,] with you, [so] they may [join with] you [to assist you in ministering.] But you & your sons shall minister before the tabernacle of witness.

They shall [be responsible for] all of the tabernacle, only they shall not go [near] the vessels of the sanctuary & the altar, [so] neither they, nor you die, also. They shall [join with] you & be [responsible for the care] of the tabernacle of the congregation & the service of the tabernacle & strangers shall not come [near] you.

You shall be [responsible] for the sanctuary & the altar, [so] no more [anger comes] upon the children [people] of Israel. [Look,] I have taken your brethren, the Levites, from among the [people] of Israel. They are given as a gift for the Lord, to [do] the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[So,] you & your sons [shall be responsible] for the priest’s office & for everything [related to] the altar & within the veil, [where] you shall serve. As a gift, I have given you the priest’s office [for] your service. I have given you, as a gift, your service [in the] priest’s office. The stranger [who] comes near [these holy places] will be put to death.

The Lord [spoke] to Aaron, [Look,] I have also [put you in] charge of My heave offerings of all the [holy] things [from] the [people] of Israel. I have given them to you & your sons [because] of [your] anointing, [as a rule] forever.

Of the things most holy, these shall be yours & your sons [portion,]: reserved from the fire. Every [offering] of theirs: every [meat/grain] offering, sin offering, trespass offering, heave [offerings,] with all the wave offerings of the children [people] of Israel, which they shall [give] to Me, shall be most holy for you & for your sons.

Every male shall eat it in the Most Holy Place. It shall be holy to you. I have given these [portions] to you, your sons & your daughters with you, by a [mandate] forever. Everyone [who] is clean in your house, shall eat of it.

I have also given to you: all the best of the oil, the best of the wine, the wheat & the first fruits [of what] they shall offer to the Lord. I have given them [to] you. [Whatever] is the first of [what is] ripe in the land, [that] they bring to the Lord, shall be yours & everyone [who] is clean in your house shall eat of it.

Every devoted thing in Israel shall be yours. Every [first born] of all flesh: whether of men or [animals,] shall be yours. Surely, you shall redeem the first born of [men] & the [first born] of unclean [animals.]

Those [who] are to be redeemed from 1 month old [& above,] you shall redeem according to your estimation [& pay] 5 shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is [equal to] 20 gerahs. The [first born of animals:] cow, sheep, or a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy.

You shall sprinkle their blood upon the altar & shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet [aroma] to the Lord. The [meat from] them shall be yours, [like] the wave breast & the right shoulder are yours.

All the heave offerings of the holy things, the [people] of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to you & your sons & daughters with you, by a [mandate] forever. [It’s] a salt covenant forever between the Lord to you & your [descendants] with you.

The Lord [spoke] to Aaron, You shall not have an inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any [portion] among them. I Am your [portion] & your inheritance among the children [people] of Israel.

[Look,] I have given all the [Levites,] 1/10th [tithe portion] in Israel for an inheritance, for their service [for] the tabernacle of the congregation. [From now on] the [people] of Israel shall not come [near] the tabernacle of the congregations, lest they bear [their] sin & die.

But, the Levites shall [perform] the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. They shall bear their [sin related to it.] It shall be a [mandate] forever throughout your generations. That [the Levites] have no inheritance among the [people] of Israel.

But I have given to the Levites, to inherit the [10%] tithes of the [people] of Israel, which they offered [like] a heave offering to the Lord. [That’s why] have said to [the Levites,] they have no inheritance among the [people] of Israel.

And the Lord [spoke] to Moses saying, [Say] this to the Levites, When you take the [10%] tithes [from] the [people] of Israel, which I have given [to] you from them, for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a heave offering of it, for the Lord, a 1/10th part of the tithe. And your heave offering of this, shall be [accounted] to you, as [if] it were the [grain] of the threshing floor & [like] the fullness of the wine press.

You shall also offer a heave offering [1/10th portion] of all your tithes, you receive from the children [people] of Israel & you shall give of the Lord’s  heave offering [portion] to Aaron, the priest.

Out of all your gifts, you shall offer every heave offering [to] the Lord, of all the best [of it] & even the [holy portion] out of it. You shall say to the [Levites,] When you have heaved the best [portion] from it, then it shall be [considered for] the Levites, [like] the increase of the threshing floor & the winepress.

You & your households shall eat it in every place, for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation. When you have heaved from the best [part] of it, you shall bear no sin, [because] of it. Neither shall you [defile] the holy things of the [people] of Israel & lest you die.

Numbers 17:1-13 Stopping Future Complaints About Leadership

 

Stopping Future Complaints About Leadership

Numbers 17:1-13                   The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the children [people] of Israel & all of their princes [leaders,] according to the house of their fathers & have everyone [from the 12 tribes] take a rod according to the house of their [forefathers,] 12 rods & you write every man’s name upon his rod.

You shall write Aaron’s name on the rod of Levi. For 1 rod will be for the head of the house of their fathers. You shall lay them [upright] in the tabernacle of the congregation before the Testimony, where I will meet with you.

It shall [happen,] that the man’s rod, whom I choose, shall blossom. I will [rid Myself] of this [grumbling] of the children [people] of Israel, [so they stop grumbling] against you. Moses [spoke] to the children [people] of Israel & everyone of the [leaders of their forefathers’] houses gave him a rod.

The rod of Aaron was among the 12 rods. And Moses laid the rods [upright] before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness. It [happened, the next day,] Moses went into the tabernacle of witness & [saw] Aaron’s rod for the house of Levi, had brought forth buds & budded & [its] blossoms bloomed & [produced] almonds.

Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the children [people] of Israel & they looked & [each] man took his [own] rod. The Lord said to Moses, Bring Aaron’s rod before the Testimony, again.

[It’s] to be kept as a [sign] against [those who rebel, so] you can take their [grumbling] away from Me, [so] they don’t die.

Moses did, as the Lord [God] commanded him. The children [people] of Israel [spoke] to Moses, saying, [Look, if] we die, we perish & we all perish. [Whoever] comes near the tabernacle of the Lord shall die. Shall we [all] die?

Numbers 16:1-50 Korah Rebels Against Moses & Aaron

 

Korah Rebels Against Moses & Aaron

Numbers 16:1-50                The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

Now Korah, the son of Izhar, [who was] the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan & Abiram [Eliab’s] sons, and On, [Peleth’s] son, [of] the sons of Reuben, took 250 princes of the assembly, [who were] famous men of renown, in the congregation, with some of the children [people] of Israel & they rose u before Moses.

They gathered themselves together against Moses & Aaron & said to them, You take too much upon [yourselves, since] everyone of the congregation [is] holy & the Lord is among them. [Why do] you, then lift yourselves up above the congregation of the Lord?

When Moses heard it, he fell upon his face & [spoke] to Korah & all his company, saying, Even tomorrow, the Lord will [show] you who are His & who is holy & will cause the one He has chosen to come near to Him.

Do this; take  [your] censers, Korah & all his company & put incense in them before the Lord tomorrow. It shall be that the man whom the Lord [chooses] shall be holy. You take too much upon [yourselves,] you sons of Levi.

Moses said to Korah, I pray [that] you hear, you sons of Levi. [Does it seem] like a small thing to you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to [Him] to do the service [for] the tabernacle of the Lord & to stand before the congregation to minister before them?

[The Lord God] has brought you near to Him, and all your brethren, the sons of Levi, with you. [Do] you also seek the priesthood also? For [what reason are] both you & all your company gathered together against the Lord: and what is Aaron, that you should grumble] against him?

Moses sent & [called] for Dathan & Abiram [Eliab’s] sons, [who] said, We will not come up. Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land that flows with milk & honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except [that] you [totally] make [yourself] prince over us?

[Also,] you haven’t brought us into a land that flows with milk & honey, or given us [an] inheritance of fields & vineyards. Will you put the eyes out of all these men? We will not come up. Moses was very [angry] & said to the Lord, [Don’t] respect their offering.

I haven’t taken 1 [donkey] from them, nor have I hurt 1 of them. Moses said to Korah, You & your company & Aaron [will] appear before the Lord tomorrow. Every man [is] to take his censer & put incense in them & bring them before the Lord. Every man with his censer, 250 censers. Also, you & Aaron, each of you [with] his censer.

Every man took his censer & put fire in them & laid incense [in it] & stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses & Aaron. Korah gathered all [those] of the congregation [who] were against [Moses & Aaron] to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. The glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation.

The Lord [God spoke] to Moses & Aaron, saying, Separate yourselves from among this congregation, [so] I may [destroy] them in a moment. [Moses & Aaron] fell on their faces & said, O God, the God of the [lives of people,] shall one man sin & will You be [angry] with the [whole] congregation?

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the congregation saying, [Get away from the tents] of Korah, Dathan & Abiram. Moses rose up & went to Dathan & Abiram & the elders followed him.

[Moses said] to the congregation, I pray [that] you depart from the tents of these wicked men & don’t touch [anything] of theirs, lest you be [destroyed] in all their sins. So, they got up from all [sides] of the [tent] of Korah, Dathan & Abiram.

Dathan & Abiram, their wives, sons  & children came out & stood in the door of their tents. Moses said, [Now] you shall know that the Lord [God] has sent me to do all these [things.]

For I haven’t done them [on my] own. If these men die the [normal death] of all men, or they [are] visited with [a plague that affects] all men, then the Lord [God hasn’t] sent me.

But if the Lord [makes some new consequence] & the earth opens [up its] mouth & swallows them up, with all [who] pertain to them go down [alive] into the pit. Then, you shall [know] these men have provoked the Lord [God.]

It [happened,] as [Moses finished] speaking, the ground [caved in] under them & the earth opened [its] mouth & swallowed them them up & all [who pertained to Korah,] their houses, their [belongings,] went down alive into the pit & the earth closed [up] upon them.

They perished from among the congregation. At their cry, all the [Israelites] fled & said, Lest the earth swallow us up also. A fire came out from the Lord & consumed the 250 men [who] offered incense.

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, [so] he [collects] the censers [from] the burning [fire] & scatter [its remains some distance away,] for they are [holy.]

Let the censers of these [sinful] men [who lost their lives] be made into broad plates of [brass] for a covering [for] the altar, [since] they offered them before the Lord. Therefore, they are [holy] & they shall be a sign to the children [people] of Israel.

Eleazar, the priest, [took] the [brass] censers [from] where they had been burnt & offered & they were made into broad plates for a covering [for] the altar.

As the Lord said to [Aaron] by the hand of Moses: [They are] to be a memorial to the children [people] of Israel, [so] no stranger, [who] isn’t of [Aaron’s descendants should] come near to offer incense before the Lord, [so he doesn’t end up like] Korah & his company.

But [the next day,] all the congregation of the [people] of Israel [grumbled] against Moses & Aaron, saying, You have killed the people of the Lord.

It [happened] when the congregation gathered against Moses & Aaron, that they looked & a cloud covered the tabernacle of the congregation.  And behold, the glory of the Lord appeared & Moses & Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Get [yourself] up from among this congregation, [so] that I may [destroy] them [now] & they fell [down] on their faces. Moses said to Aaron, Take a censer & put fire [in it] from off the altar & [put in] incense & go quickly to the congregation & make atonement for them.

For the [anger] of the Lord has gone out & the plague [has] begun. Aaron [did what] Moses commanded & ran into [the middle] of the congregation & the plague [had started] among the people. And [Aaron] put [in the] incense & made an atonement for the people.f

[Aaron] stood between the dead & the living & the plague was [stopped.] There were 14,700 [who] died, [besides those who] died about the matter of Korah. Aaron returned to Moses at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation & the plague [stopped.]

Numbers 15:1-41 When They Sin Unintentionally

 

When They Sin Unintentionally

Numbers 15:1-41                          The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the children [people] of Israel & say to them, When you come into the land [I’m giving] you to [live in] & will make an offering by fire to the Lord; a burnt offering; a sacrifice [for carrying out] a vow; a freewill offering; or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet [aroma] to the Lord, [from] the herd or the flock.

Then shall [the person who makes] his offering to the Lord, bring a [meat/grain] offering of 1/10 deal of flour [mixed] with 1/4 of a hin of oil. And 1/4 of a hin of wine for a drink offering, you shall prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for 1 lamb.

For a ram, you shall prepare for a [meat/grain] offering: 2/10 deals of flour [mixed] with 1/3 of a hin of oil for a [meat/grain] offering. For a drink offering, you shall offer 1/3 part of a hin of wine, for a sweet [aroma] to the Lord.

When you prepare the [bull] for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in [fulfilling] a vow, or Peace Offerings to the Lord: Then he shall bring with the [bull] a [meat/grain] offering of 3/10 deals of flour [mixd] with 1/2 hin of oil.

You shall bring for the drink offering 1/2 hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, [for] a sweet [aroma] to the Lord. [This] shall be done for 1 [bull,] 1 ram, or a lamb or a kid [goat.] You shall do this for every [animal,] according to [how many] you prepare.

All [native born Israelites] shall do these things, [according to the custom] in [presenting] an offering made by fire, [for] a sweet [aroma] to the Lord. If a stranger [stays temporarily] with you, or [whoever is] among you [during] your generations & [wants] to make an offering made by fire, [for] a sweet [aroma] to the Lord, he shall do [exactly] as you do.

[There] shall be 1 [rule] for both you of the congregation & the stranger who stays with you, a [rule] forever in your generations before the Lord. One law & 1 [custom] shall be for you & for the granger [who temporarily stays] with you.

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the children [people] of Israel & say to them, When you come into the land [where] I [am bringing] you & when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a heave offering to the Lord. You shall offer up a cake of the 1st of your dough for a heave offering: [like] you do the heave offerings of the threshing floor. You shall heave it [the same way.]

You shall give to the Lord a heave offering, of the 1st of your dough, [throughout] your generations. If you [haven’t done] all these commandments which the Lord has spoken to Moses & you have erred, even all that the Lord has commanded you [at] the hand of Moses, from the [1st] day the Lord commanded Moses & forward, [throughout] your generations, then it shall be, [as] if [it was] committed [in] ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation.

[Then,] all the congregation shall offer 1 young [bull] for a burnt offering, for a sweet [aroma] to the Lord, with [its meat/grain] offering & [its] drink offering & 1 kid [goat] for a sin offering, according to the [custom.]

The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children [people] of Israel & it shall be forgiven them. For [they did it in] ignorance & they shall bring before the Lord, their offering, a sacrifice made by fire to the Lord & their sin offering for their ignorance, before the Lord. All the congregation of the [people] of Israel & the stranger [who temporarily stays] with them, shall be forgiven, [since] all the people have done this] in ignorance.

If any [person] shall sin in ignorance, [unintentionally,] then he shall bring a 1 year old [female] goat for a sin offering. The priest shall make an atonement for the person [who] sinned [unintentionally,] before the Lord, to make atonement for him & [he] shall be forgiven.

You shall have 1 law for both [those born] of the [Israelites] & the stranger [who temporarily stays] among you, [those who] sin [unintentionally.] But the [person who defiantly does wrong,] whether he is a [native-born Israelite,] or a stranger, [those] same [who disgraces] the Lord [God,] shall be cut off from among his people, because he has despised the Word of the Lord & has broken His commandment.

That person’s [guilt] shall be upon him & he shall be [totally] cut off [from his people.] While the [people] of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man [who] gathered sticks on the Sabbath day. [Those who] found him, brought him to Moses & Aaron & to all the congregation.

They kept him [under guard,] because it [hadn’t been] declared what [to do] to him. The Lord said to Moses, The man shall surely be [stoned] to death, by the congregation [outside] the camp. All the congregation brought him [outside] the camp & stoned him & he died, as the Lord commanded Moses.

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the [people] of Israel & [tell] them [to] make fringes with a [band] of blue [on] the borders of their [clothing] throughout their generations. [When] you look upon the fringe, you may remember the [Lord’s] commandments & do them.

[So] that you [don’t] seek after your own heat & [with] your own eyes, use [them] to [be like unfaithful harlots.] [Numbers 25:1-2 And Israel [remained] in Shittim & the people began to commit [harlotry] with the daughters of Moab. And they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods & the people did eat & bowed down to their gods.]  [So,] you remember & do all My commandments & be holy to your God. I am the Lord, your God, [Who] brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am the Lord your God.
