And I sent Moses and Aaron and I struck Egypt just as I did in midst its and after I brought out you.
6 og da jeg førte eders Fædre ud af Ægypten, og I var kommet til Havet, satte Ægypterne efter eders Fædre med Stridsvogne og Ryttere til det røde Hav.
And I brought out fathers your from Egypt and you came the sea towards and they pursued Egypt after fathers your with chariotry and with horsemen [the] sea of reed[s].
7 Da raabte de til HERREN, og han satte Mørke mellem eder og Ægypterne og bragte Havet over dem, saa det dækkede dem; og I saa med egne Øjne, hvad jeg gjorde ved Ægypterne. Og da I havde opholdt eder en Tid lang i Ørkenen,

21 Da sagde Folket til Josua: »Nej HERREN vil vi tjene!«

26 Og Josua opskrev disse Ord i Guds Lovbog; og han tog en stor Sten og rejste den der under den Eg, som staar i HERRENS Helligdom;
And he wrote Joshua the words these in [the] book of [the] law of God and he took a stone large and he set up it there under the oak which [was] at [the] sanctuary of Yahweh.
27 og Josua sagde til hele Folket: »Se, Stenen her skal være Vidne imod os; thi den har hørt alle HERRENS Ord, som han talede til os; den skal være Vidne imod eder; at I ikke skal fornægte eders Gud!«
And he said Joshua to all the people here! the stone this it will become on us a witness for it it has heard all [the] words of Yahweh which he has spoken with us and it will become on you a witness lest you should deny! God your.
