and in the desert, where you saw him carrying you along like a man carries his son. This he did everywhere you went until you came to this very place.”

你们在旷野所行的路上，也曾见耶和华你们的神抚养你们，如同人抚养儿子一般，直等你们来到这地方。’

并且你们在旷野所行的一切路上，也看见了耶和华—你们的上帝背着你们，如同人背自己的儿子一样，直到你们来到这地方。’

并且你们在旷野所行的一切路上，也看见了耶和华—你们的神背着你们，如同人背自己的儿子一样，直到你们来到这地方。’

你们在旷野曾目睹你们的上帝耶和华像父亲抱儿子一样，一路把你们抱到这地方。’

并且在旷野里，你们也看见了耶和华你们的神，怎样在你们所行的一切路上，背负你们，好像人背负自己的儿子一样，直到你们来到了这地方。’

你們在曠野所行的路上，也曾見耶和華－你們的神撫養你們，如同人撫養兒子一般，直等你們來到這地方。』

並且你們在曠野所行的一切路上，也看見了耶和華－你們的上帝背着你們，如同人背自己的兒子一樣，直到你們來到這地方。』

並且你們在曠野所行的一切路上，也看見了耶和華－你們的神背着你們，如同人背自己的兒子一樣，直到你們來到這地方。』

你們在曠野曾目睹你們的上帝耶和華像父親抱兒子一樣，一路把你們抱到這地方。』

又正如在曠野他為你們所行的；在曠野你們曾看見永恆主你們的上帝怎樣在你們所行的一路上背着你們，如同人背着兒子一樣，直到你們到達了這地方。」

又在曠野、由爾所經之道、至於此地、爾上帝耶和華保抱爾、如人之保抱其子、為爾所見、

又在曠野、由爾所經之道、至於斯土、爾上帝耶和華提抱爾、如人之懷赤子、為爾所見、

又在曠野於爾所經之道至於斯地、主爾之天主保抱爾、如人之保抱赤子、為爾所見、

and in the wilderness. There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.”

You also saw how the Lord your God brought you through the desert. He carried you everywhere you went, just as a father carries his son. And now you have arrived here.”

and in the wilderness, where you have seen how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way that you went until you came to this place.’

And you saw how the Lord your God cared for you all along the way as you traveled through the wilderness, just as a father cares for his child. Now he has brought you to this place.’

And you saw in the wilderness how the LORD your God carried you as a man carries his son all along the way you traveled until you reached this place.

and in the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, just as a man carries his son, on all of the road which you have walked until you came to this place.’

and in the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.’

and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that Jehovah thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came unto this place.

And you saw in the wilderness how the Lord your God carried you as a man carries his son all along the way you traveled until you reached this place.

And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.

“ Listen to me, O family of Jacob, all you who are left from the family of Israel, you who have been carried from birth, you who have been supported from the time you left the womb.Even when you are old, I will take care of you, even when you have gray hair, I will carry you. I made you and I will support you; I will carry you and rescue you.

Through all that they suffered, he suffered too. The messenger sent from his very presence delivered them. In his love and mercy he protected them; he lifted them up and carried them throughout ancient times.

For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.

And Moses said to the LORD,“ Why have you afflicted your servant? Why have I not found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of this entire people on me?Did I conceive this entire people? Did I give birth to them, that you should say to me,‘ Carry them in your arms, as a foster father bears a nursing child,’ to the land which you swore to their fathers?

‘ You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt and how I lifted you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.

Yet it was I who led Ephraim, I took them by the arm; but they did not acknowledge that I had healed them.I led them with leather cords, with leather ropes; I lifted the yoke from their neck, and gently fed them.

The LORD found him in a desolate land, in an empty wasteland where animals howl. He continually guarded him and taught him; he continually protected him like the pupil of his eye.Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, that hovers over its young, so the LORD spread out his wings and took him, he lifted him up on his pinions.The LORD alone was guiding him, no foreign god was with him.

Like a shepherd he tends his flock; he gathers up the lambs with his arm; he carries them close to his heart; he leads the ewes along.

You guided them with a pillar of cloud by day and with a pillar of fire by night to illumine for them the path they were to travel.“ You came down on Mount Sinai and spoke with them from heaven. You provided them with just judgments, true laws, and good statutes and commandments.You made known to them your holy Sabbath; you issued commandments, statutes, and law to them through Moses your servant.You provided bread from heaven for them in their time of hunger, and you brought forth water from the rock for them in their time of thirst. You told them to enter in order to possess the land that you had sworn to give them.“ But they– our ancestors– behaved presumptuously; they rebelled and did not obey your commandments.They refused to obey and did not recall your miracles that you had performed among them. Instead, they rebelled and appointed a leader to return to their bondage in Egypt. But you are a God of forgiveness, merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and unfailing in your loyal love. You did not abandon them,even when they made a cast image of a calf for themselves and said,‘ This is your God who brought you up from Egypt,’ or when they committed atrocious blasphemies.“ Due to your great compassion you did not abandon them in the desert. The pillar of cloud did not stop guiding them in the path by day, nor did the pillar of fire stop illuminating for them by night the path on which they should travel.You imparted your good Spirit to instruct them. You did not withhold your manna from their mouths; you provided water for their thirst.For forty years you sustained them. Even in the desert they never lacked anything. Their clothes did not wear out and their feet did not swell.“ You gave them kingdoms and peoples, and you allocated them to every corner of the land. They inherited the land of King Sihon of Heshbon and the land of King Og of Bashan.You multiplied their descendants like the stars of the sky. You brought them to the land you had told their ancestors to enter in order to possess.

He spread out a cloud for a cover, and provided a fire to light up the night.They asked for food, and he sent quails; he satisfied them with food from the sky.He opened up a rock and water flowed out; a river ran through dry regions.

He led them with a cloud by day, and with the light of a fire all night long.He broke open rocks in the wilderness, and gave them enough water to fill the depths of the sea.He caused streams to flow from the rock, and made the water flow like rivers.Yet they continued to sin against him, and rebelled against the sovereign One in the desert.They willfully challenged God by asking for food to satisfy their appetite.They insulted God, saying,“ Is God really able to give us food in the wilderness?Yes, he struck a rock and water flowed out, streams gushed forth. But can he also give us food? Will he provide meat for his people?”When the LORD heard this, he was furious. A fire broke out against Jacob, and his anger flared up against Israel,because they did not have faith in God, and did not trust his ability to deliver them.He gave a command to the clouds above, and opened the doors in the sky.He rained down manna for them to eat; he gave them the grain of heaven.Man ate the food of the mighty ones. He sent them more than enough to eat.He brought the east wind through the sky, and by his strength led forth the south wind.He rained down meat on them like dust, birds as numerous as the sand on the seashores.He caused them to fall right in the middle of their camp, all around their homes.

When they journeyed from Elim, the entire company of Israelites came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their exodus from the land of Egypt.The entire company of Israelites murmured against Moses and Aaron in the desert.The Israelites said to them,“ If only we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat, when we ate bread to the full, for you have brought us out into this desert to kill this whole assembly with hunger!”Then the Lord said to Moses,“ I am going to rain bread from heaven for you, and the people will go out and gather the amount for each day, so that I may test them. Will they walk in my law or not?On the sixth day they will prepare what they bring in, and it will be twice as much as they gather every other day.”Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites,“ In the evening you will know that the LORD has brought you out of the land of Egypt,and in the morning you will see the glory of the LORD, because he has heard your murmurings against the LORD. As for us, what are we, that you should murmur against us?”Moses said,“ You will know this when the LORD gives you meat to eat in the evening and bread in the morning to satisfy you, because the LORD has heard your murmurings that you are murmuring against him. As for us, what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.”Then Moses said to Aaron,“ Tell the whole community of the Israelites,‘ Come before the LORD, because he has heard your murmurings.’”As Aaron spoke to the whole community of the Israelites and they looked toward the desert, there the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud,and the LORD spoke to Moses:“ I have heard the murmurings of the Israelites. Tell them,‘ During the evening you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be satisfied with bread, so that you may know that I am the LORD your God.’”In the evening the quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning a layer of dew was all around the camp.When the layer of dew had evaporated, there on the surface of the desert was a thin flaky substance, thin like frost on the earth.When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another,“ What is it?” because they did not know what it was. Moses said to them,“ It is the bread that the LORD has given you for food.“ This is what the LORD has commanded:‘ Each person is to gather from it what he can eat, an omer per person according to the number of your people; each one will pick it up for whoever lives in his tent.’”The Israelites did so, and they gathered– some more, some less.

I am not able to bear this entire people alone, because it is too heavy for me!
