105.16 :He broke the whole staff of bread.
 * He sent a man before them;
 * Joseph was sold for a servant;
 * His feet they hurt with fetters,
 * His person was laid in iron;
 * Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the tested him.
 * The king sent and loosed him;
 * Even the ruler of the peoples, and set him free.
 * He made him lord of his house,
 * And ruler of all his possessions;
 * To bind his princes at his pleasure,
 * And teach his elders wisdom.


 * Israel also came into Egypt;
 * And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
 * And He increased His people greatly,
 * And made them too mighty for their adversaries.
 * He turned their heart to hate His people,
 * To deal craftily with His servants.
 * He sent Moses His servant,
 * And Aaron whom He had chosen.
 * They wrought among them His manifold signs,
 * And wonders in the land of Ham.
 * He sent darkness, and it was dark;
 * And they rebelled not against His word.
 * He turned their waters into blood,
 * And slew their fish.
 * Their land swarmed with frogs,
 * In the chambers of their kings.
 * He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,
 * And gnats in all their borders.
 * He gave them hail for rain,
 * And flaming fire in their land.
 * He smote their vines also and their fig-trees;
 * And broke the trees of their borders.
 * He spoke, and the locust came,
 * And the canker-worm without number,
 * And did eat up every herb in their land,
 * And did eat up the fruit of their ground.
 * He smote also all the first-born in their land,
 * The first-fruits of all their strength.
 * And He brought them forth with silver and gold;
 * And there was none that stumbled among His tribes.
 * Egypt was glad when they departed;
 * For the fear of them had fallen upon them.


 * He spread a cloud for a screen;
 * And fire to give light in the night.
 * They asked, and He brought quails,
 * And gave them in plenty the bread of heaven.
 * He opened the rock, and waters gushed out;
 * They ran, a river in the dry places.
 * For He remembered His holy word
 * Unto Abraham His servant;
 * And He brought forth His people with joy,
 * His chosen ones with singing.
 * And He gave them the lands of the nations,
 * And they took the labour of the peoples in possession;
 * That they might keep His statutes,
 * And observe His laws.
 * Hallelujah.


 * Hallelujah.
 * O give thanks unto the ; for He is good;
 * For His mercy endureth for ever.
 * Who can express the mighty acts of the ,
 * Or make all His praise to be heard?
 * Happy are they that keep justice,
 * That do righteousness at all times.
