He gave it as a covenant law for the people of Joseph. It was given when God went out to punish Egypt. There I heard a voice I didn’t recognize.

他去攻击埃及地的时候，在约瑟中间立此为证。我在那里听见我所不明白的言语：

他攻击埃及地的时候，曾立此为约瑟的法度。我听见我所不明白的语言：

他攻击埃及地的时候，曾立此为约瑟的法度。我听见我所不明白的语言：

上帝攻击埃及的时候，为约瑟立下此法度。我在那里听见陌生的声音说：

约瑟从埃及地出来（“约瑟从埃及地出来”或译：“神出去攻击埃及地”）的时候，神为约瑟立了这法规。我听见了我不晓得的言语。

神出去对付埃及地的时候，在约瑟中设立了这法度。我听见了我不明白的话：

他去攻擊埃及地的時候，在約瑟中間立此為證。我在那裏聽見我所不明白的言語：

他攻擊埃及地的時候，曾立此為約瑟的法度。我聽見我所不明白的語言：

他攻擊埃及地的時候，曾立此為約瑟的法度。我聽見我所不明白的語言：

上帝攻擊埃及的時候，為約瑟立下此法度。我在那裡聽見陌生的聲音說：

約瑟從埃及地出來（“約瑟從埃及地出來”或譯：“神出去攻擊埃及地”）的時候，神為約瑟立了這法規。我聽見了我不曉得的言語。

當約瑟從埃及出來的時候，上帝在約瑟中立了法度。我聽見一位我不認識者的話說：

神出去對付埃及地的時候，在約瑟中設立了這法度。我聽見了我不明白的話：

彼出擊埃及時、於約瑟中、立此為證、是日我聞所不識者之言兮、

昔擊埃及之時、約瑟子孫、咸受此法、維斯詔命、予昔未知、今始知兮。

主往攻伊及之時、曾為約瑟族立此法度、惟時我聞我所不知之言、

佳節原為主所制。

When God went out against Egypt, he established it as a statute for Joseph. I heard an unknown voice say:

He made it a decree in Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt. I hear a language I had not known:

He made it a law for Israel when he attacked Egypt to set us free. I heard an unknown voice say,

He set it up as a decree for Joseph when he went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard an unfamiliar language:

He established it as a testimony in Joseph When he went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard a language I did not know:

This He established in Joseph as a testimony, When He went throughout the land of Egypt, Where I heard a language I did not understand.

He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, Where I heard a language that I knew not.

He set it up as an ordinance for Joseph when He went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard an unfamiliar language:

This he ordained in Joseph[ for] a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt:[ where] I heard a language[ that] I understood not.

He decreed it as a regulation in Joseph, when he attacked the land of Egypt. I heard a voice I did not recognize.

He appointed it in Joseph for a covenant, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I didn’t know.

The people of Israel came out of Egypt. The people of Jacob left a land where a different language was spoken.

The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away. It will come from the ends of the earth. It will dive down on you like an eagle. You won’t understand that nation’s language.

In the law it is written,“ With unfamiliar languages and through the lips of outsiders I will speak to these people. But even then they will not listen to me.”( Isaiah 28:11, 12) That is what the Lord says.So speaking in other languages is a sign for those who don’t believe. It is not a sign for those who do believe. But prophecy is not for those who don’t believe. It is for those who believe.

“ People of Israel, listen to me,” announces the Lord.“ I am bringing against you a nation from far away. It is an old nation. And it will last for a long time. Its people speak a language you do not know. You can’t understand what they are saying.

With your mighty arm you set your people free. You set the children of Jacob and Joseph free.

Moses told Pharaoh,“ The Lord says,‘ About midnight I will go through every part of Egypt.

Shepherd of Israel, hear us. You lead the people of Joseph like a flock. You sit on your throne between the cherubim. Show your gloryto the people of Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh. Call your strength into action. Come and save us.

Here are its terms, rules and laws. Moses gave them to the people when they came out of Egypt.

All right then, these people won’t listen to me. So God will speak to them. He will speak by using people who speak unfamiliar languages. He will speak by using the mouths of strangers.

You drink wine by the bowlful. You use the finest lotions. But Joseph’s people will soon be destroyed. And you aren’t even sad about it.

“ That same night I will pass through Egypt. I will strike down all those born first among the people and animals. And I will judge all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord.

At midnight the Lord struck down every oldest son in Egypt. He killed the oldest son of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne. He killed all the oldest sons of prisoners. He also killed all the male animals born first to their mothers among the livestock.

Tell them,‘ It’s the Passover sacrifice to honor the Lord. He passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt. He spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.’ ” Then the Israelites bowed down and worshiped.

On that day talk to your child. Say,‘ I’m doing this because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’When you celebrate this holy day, it will be like a mark on your hand. It will be like a reminder on your forehead. This law of the Lord must be on your lips. The Lord used his mighty hand to bring you out of Egypt.

Then those born later would know his laws. Even their children yet to come would know them. And they in turn would tell their children.

Keep my Sabbath days holy. That is the sign of the covenant I made with you. You will know that I am the Lord your God.’

“ In days to come, your child will ask you,‘ What does this mean?’ Say to them,‘ The Lord used his mighty hand to bring us out of Egypt. That’s the land where we were slaves.Pharaoh was stubborn. He refused to let us go. So the Lord killed every oldest son in Egypt. He also killed all those born first among the people and animals. That’s why I sacrifice to the Lord every male animal born first. And that’s why I buy back each of my oldest sons for the Lord.’This holy day will be like a mark on your hand. It will be like a sign on your forehead. It will remind you that the Lord used his mighty hand to bring us out of Egypt.”
