12 Da de kun var en liden Hob, kun få og fremmede der,
Albeit they were fewe in nomber, yea, very fewe, and strangers in the land,
13 og vandrede fra Folk til Folk, fra et Rige til et andet,
And walked about from nation to nation, from one kingdome to another people,
14 tillod han ingen at volde dem Men, men tugted for deres Skyld Konger

19 indtil hans Ord blev opfyldt; ved HERRENs Ord stod han Prøven igennem.

20 På Kongens Bud blev han fri, Folkenes Hersker lod ham løs:

23 Og Israel kom til Ægypten, Jakob boede som Gæst i Kamiternes Land.

40 de krævede, han bragte Vagtler, med Himmelbrød mættede han dem;
They asked, and he brought quailes, and he filled them with the bread of heauen.
41 han åbnede Klippen, og Vand strømmede ud, det løb som en Flod i Ørkenen.

And gaue them the lands of the heathen, and they tooke the labours of the people in possession,
45 Derfor skulde de holde hans Bud og efterkomme hans Love. Halleluja!
