兄弟乎、我不欲爾不知、昔我列祖皆在雲下、皆徑行海中、

且吾不欲兄弟之昧於史訓也。昔吾列祖、悉皆托庇祥雲、行經滄海；

For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea.

For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

I don’t want you to forget, dear brothers and sisters, about our ancestors in the wilderness long ago. All of them were guided by a cloud that moved ahead of them, and all of them walked through the sea on dry ground.

Now I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our fathers were all under the cloud and they all passed through the sea;

Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

Now I want you to know, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea,

Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground. There was a wall of water on their right side and on their left.

You parted the waters of the Red Sea for the Israelites. They passed through it on dry ground. But you threw into the sea those who chased them. They sank down like a stone into the mighty waters.By day you led the Israelites with a pillar of cloud. At night you led them with a pillar of fire. It gave them light to show them the way you wanted them to go.

The Lord spread out a cloud to cover his people. He gave them a fire to light up the night.

God parted the Red Sea and led them through it. He made the water stand up like a wall.He guided them with the cloud during the day. He led them with the light of a fire all night long.

When our people were in Egypt, they forgot about the Lord’ s miracles. They didn’t remember his many kind acts. At the Red Sea they refused to obey him.But he saved them for the honor of his name. He did it to make his mighty power known.He ordered the Red Sea to dry up, and it did. He led his people through it as if it were a desert.He saved them from the power of their enemies. He set them free from their control.The waters covered their enemies. Not one of them escaped alive.

But anyone who does not recognize this will not be recognized.

The people of Israel had faith. So they passed through the Red Sea. They went through it as if it were dry land. The Egyptians tried to do it also. But they drowned.

He turned the Red Sea into dry land. The people of Israel passed through the waters on foot. Come, let us be full of joy because of what he did.

Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting. The glory of the Lord filled the holy tent.

The Lord your God dried up the Jordan for you until you had gone across it. He did to the Jordan River the same thing he had done to the Red Sea. He dried up the Red Sea ahead of us until we had gone across it.

And the Egyptians will tell the people who live in Canaan about it. Lord, they have already heard a lot about you. They’ve heard that you are with these people. They’ve heard that you have been seen face to face. They’ve been told that your cloud stays over them. They’ve heard that you go in front of them in a pillar of cloud by day. They’ve been told that you go in front of them in a pillar of fire at night.

He guided them safely, and they weren’t afraid. But the Red Sea swallowed up their enemies.

They left Pi Hahiroth. Then they passed through the Red Sea into the desert. They traveled for three days in the Desert of Etham. Then they camped at Marah.

Brothers and sisters, I want you to know about the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

I will always guide you. I will satisfy your needs in a land baked by the sun. I will make you stronger. You will be like a garden that has plenty of water. You will be like a spring whose water never runs dry.Your people will rebuild the cities that were destroyed long ago. And you will build again on the old foundations. You will be called One Who Repairs Broken Walls. You will be called One Who Makes City Streets Like New Again.“ Do not work on the Sabbath day. Do not do just anything you want to on my holy day. Make the Sabbath a day you can enjoy. Honor the Lord’ s holy day. Do not work on it. Do not do just anything you want to. Do not talk about things that are worthless.

“ Because you loved them so much, you didn’t leave them in the desert. During the day the pillar of cloud didn’t stop guiding them on their path. At night the pillar of fire didn’t stop shining on the way you wanted them to go.

God, the water of the Red Sea saw you. It saw you and boiled up. The deepest waters were stirred up.The clouds poured down rain. The skies rumbled with thunder. Lightning flashed back and forth like arrows.Your thunder was heard in the windstorm. Your lightning lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.Your path led through the Red Sea. You walked through the mighty waters. But your footprints were not seen.You led your people like a flock. You led them by the hands of Moses and Aaron.

Give thanks to the God who parted the waters of the Red Sea. His faithful love continues forever.He brought Israel through the middle of it. His faithful love continues forever.But he swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea. His faithful love continues forever.

He went ahead of you on your journey. He was in the fire at night and in the cloud during the day. He found places for you to camp. He showed you the way you should go.

The Red Sea saw him and parted. The Jordan River stopped flowing.The mountains leaped like rams. The hills skipped like lambs.Red Sea, why did you part? Jordan River, why did you stop flowing?

He was circumcised as a sign of the covenant God had made with him. It showed that his faith had made him right with God before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the father of all believers who have not been circumcised. God accepts their faith. So their faith makes them right with him.

The angel of God had been traveling in front of Israel’s army. Now he moved back and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved away from in front of them. Now it stood behind them.It came between the armies of Egypt and Israel. All through the night the cloud brought darkness to one side and light to the other. Neither army went near the other all night long.Then Moses reached out his hand over the Red Sea. All that night the Lord pushed the sea back with a strong east wind. He turned the sea into dry land. The waters were divided.The people of Israel went through the sea on dry ground. There was a wall of water on their right side and on their left.

The holy tent was set up. It was the tent where the tablets of the covenant law were kept. On the day it was set up, the cloud covered it. From evening until morning the cloud above the tent looked like fire.That’s what continued to happen. The cloud covered the tent. At night the cloud looked like fire.When the cloud lifted from its place above the tent, the Israelites started out. Where the cloud settled, the Israelites camped.When the Lord gave the command, the Israelites started out. And when he gave the command, they camped. As long as the cloud stayed above the holy tent, they remained in camp.Sometimes the cloud remained above the tent for a long time. Then the Israelites obeyed the Lord’ s order. They didn’t start out.Sometimes the cloud was above the tent for only a few days. When the Lord would give the command, they would camp. And when he would give the command, they would start out.Sometimes the cloud stayed only from evening until morning. When it lifted in the morning, they started out. It didn’t matter whether it was day or night. When the cloud lifted, the people started out.It didn’t matter whether the cloud stayed above the holy tent for two days or a month or a year. The Israelites would remain in camp. They wouldn’t start out. But when the cloud lifted, they would start out.

God didn’t spare the natural branches. He won’t spare you either.

Our people have always worshiped on this mountain. But you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”

You who belong to Christ are Abraham’s seed. So you will receive what God has promised.

Then I saw something that looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire. Standing beside the sea were those who had won the battle over the beast. They had also overcome its statue and the number of its name. They held harps given to them by God.They sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb. They sang,“ Lord God who rules over all, everything you do is great and wonderful. King of the nations, your ways are true and fair.

By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud. It guided them on their way. At night he led them with a pillar of fire. It gave them light. So they could travel by day or at night.The pillar of cloud didn’t leave its place in front of the people during the day. And the pillar of fire didn’t leave its place at night.
