“ After Jacob entered Egypt, they cried to the Lord for help, and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your ancestors out of Egypt and settled them in this place.

“ When Jacob went to Egypt, your ancestors cried out to the LORD, and he sent them Moses and Aaron, who led your ancestors out of Egypt and settled them in this place.

When Jacob went into Egypt and your fathers cried out to the Lord, then the Lord sent Moses and Aaron who brought your fathers out of Egypt and settled them in this place.

When Jacob had gone into Egypt, and your fathers cried out to the Lord, then the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt and made them dwell in this place.

When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto Jehovah, then Jehovah sent Moses and Aaron, who brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them to dwell in this place.

“ When Jacob went to Egypt, your ancestors cried out to the Lord, and He sent them Moses and Aaron, who led your ancestors out of Egypt and settled them in this place.

“ When Jacob had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to Yahweh, then Yahweh sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them to dwell in this place.

Then the Lord became very angry with Moses. He said,“ What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you. He will be glad to see you.Speak to him. Tell him what to say. I will help both of you speak. I will teach you what to do.He will speak to the people for you. He will be like your mouth. And you will be like God to him.

After a long time, the king of Egypt died. The people of Israel groaned because they were slaves. They also cried out to God. Their cry for help went up to him.God heard their groans. He remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

He said to them,“ The Lord is the God of Israel. He says,‘ Israel, I brought you up out of Egypt. I saved you from their power. I also saved you from the power of all the kingdoms that had treated you badly.’

Long ago our people went down into Egypt. We lived there for many years. The Egyptians treated us and our people badly.

Be strong and brave. You will lead these people. They will take the land as their very own. It is the land I promised to give their people of long ago.

Then Jacob went down to Egypt. There he and his family died.

Then Samuel said to the people,“ The Lord appointed Moses and Aaron. He brought out of Egypt your people who lived long ago.

That day the Lord saved Israel from the power of Egypt. The Israelites saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore.The Israelites saw the amazing power the Lord showed against the Egyptians. So the Israelites had great respect for the Lord and put their trust in him. They also put their trust in his servant Moses.

On that day the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt like an army on the march.

And so he brought his people to the border of his holy land. He led them to the central hill country he had taken by his power.He drove out the nations to make room for his people. He gave to each family a piece of land to pass on to their children. He gave the tribes of Israel a place to make their homes.

Then Jacob left Beersheba. Israel’s sons put their father Jacob and their families in the carts that Pharaoh had sent to carry him.So Jacob and his whole family went to Egypt. They took their livestock with them. And they took everything they had acquired in Canaan.Jacob brought his sons and grandsons with him to Egypt. He also brought his daughters and granddaughters. He brought his whole family with him.

You will soon know that the living God is among you. He will certainly drive out the people now living in the land. He’ll do it to make room for you. He’ll drive out the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites and Jebusites.The ark will go into the Jordan River ahead of you. It’s the ark of the covenant of the Lord of the whole earth.Choose 12 men from the tribes of Israel. Choose one from each tribe.The priests will carry the ark of the Lord. He’s the Lord of the whole earth. As soon as the priests step into the Jordan, it will stop flowing. The water that’s coming down the river will pile up in one place. That’s how you will know that the living God is among you.”

And now Israel’s cry for help has reached me. I have seen how badly the Egyptians are treating them.So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh. I want you to bring the Israelites out of Egypt. They are my people.”

God, we have heard what you did. Those who came before us have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago.By your power you drove out the nations. You gave our people homes in the land. You crushed the people who were there. And you made our people do well.They didn’t win the land with their swords. They didn’t gain success by their own power. Your powerful right hand and your mighty arm gave them victory. You gave them success because you loved them.

The Lord had spoken to this same Aaron and Moses. He had told them,“ Bring the Israelites out of Egypt like an army on the march.”

The Lord said to Aaron,“ Go into the desert to see Moses.” So Aaron greeted Moses at the mountain of God and kissed him.Then Moses told Aaron everything the Lord had sent him to say. Moses also told him about all the signs the Lord had commanded him to do.Moses and Aaron gathered all the elders of Israel together.Aaron told them everything the Lord had said to Moses. He also performed the signs in the sight of the people.And they believed. They heard that the Lord was concerned about them. He had seen their suffering. So they bowed down and worshiped him.

He gave them the lands of other nations. He let them take over what others had worked for.

“ My servant Moses is dead. Now then, I want you and all these people to get ready to go across the Jordan River. I want all of you to go into the land I am about to give to the Israelites.I will give all of you every place you walk on, just as I promised Moses.Your territory will reach from the Negev Desert all the way to Lebanon. The great Euphrates River will be to the east. The Mediterranean Sea will be to the west. Your territory will include all the Hittite country.
