He said this when they were only a few, just a small group of foreigners in the land.
13 y vagaban de nación en nación, y de este reino a aquel pueblo,
They wandered from country to country, from one kingdom to the next.
14 a nadie permitió que los oprimiese, y por causa de ellos castigó a reyes:
He didn't let anyone one treat them badly; warning kings to leave them alone:
15 “Guardaos de tocar a mis ungidos, ni hacer mal a mis profetas.”
“Don't touch my chosen people; don't harm my prophets!”
16 Atrajo el hambre sobre aquella tierra, y se retiró toda provisión de pan.

36 Y dio muerte a todo primogénito en su tierra, las primicias de todo su vigor.
He killed all the firstborn in Egypt, the first to be produced in their vigor and strength.
37 Mas a ellos los sacó con oro y plata, sin un enfermo en todas sus tribus.

40 Pidieron, y les envió codornices; y los sació con pan del cielo.
