Then I will takeyou for My people,and I will be your God;and you shall knowthat I am the LORDyour God,who broughtyou out from underthe burdensof the Egyptians.
"But ifthe LORDbringsaboutan entirelynewthingand the groundopensits mouthand swallowsthem up with allthat is theirs,and they descendaliveinto Sheol,then you will understandthat thesemenhave spurnedthe LORD."
Mosessaid,"By thisyou shall knowthat the LORDhas sentme to doallthesedeeds;for this is not my doing.
You ledYour peoplelike a flockBy the handof Mosesand Aaron.
Then Mosesentreatedthe LORDhis God,and said,"O LORD,whydoes Your angerburnagainst Your peoplewhomYou have broughtout from the landof Egyptwith greatpowerand with a mightyhand?
Then the LORDspoketo Moses,"Godownat once,for your people,whomyou broughtup from the landof Egypt,have corrupted[themselves].
Now when the peoplesawthat Mosesdelayedto comedownfrom the mountain,the peopleassembledaboutAaronand saidto him, "Come,makeus a godwhowill gobeforeus; as for thisMoses,the manwhobroughtus up from the landof Egypt,we do not knowwhathas becomeof him."
Mosessaid,"[This will happen] when the LORDgivesyou meatto eatin the evening,and breadto the fullin the morning;for the LORDhearsyour grumblingswhichyou grumbleagainstHim. And whatare we? Your grumblingsare not againstus but againstthe LORD."
The sonsof Israelsaidto them, "Wouldthat we had diedby the LORD'Shandin the landof Egypt,when we satby the potsof meat,when we atebreadto the full;for you have broughtus out into thiswildernessto killthiswholeassemblywith hunger."
And on that samedaythe LORDbroughtthe sonsof Israelout of the landof Egyptby their hosts.
