In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
ὁ δὲ ἔφη Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοὶ καὶ πατέρες ἀκούσατε Ὁ θεὸς τῆς δόξης ὤφθη τῷ πατρὶ ἡμῶν Ἀβραὰμ ὄντι ἐν τῇ Μεσοποταμίᾳ πρὶν ἢ κατοικῆσαι αὐτὸν ἐν Χαῤῥάν
And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
לְמַכֵּה מִצְרַיִם בִּבְכוֹרֵיהֶם כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃
To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-מֹשֶׁה עַתָּה תִרְאֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶֽעֱשֶׂה לְפַרְעֹה כִּי בְיָד חֲזָקָה יְשַׁלְּחֵם וּבְיָד חֲזָקָה יְגָֽרְשֵׁם מֵֽאַרְצֽוֹ׃
Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
בְּשִׁבְעִים נֶפֶשׁ יָֽרְדוּ אֲבֹתֶיךָ מִצְרָיְמָה וְעַתָּה שָֽׂמְךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ כְּכֽוֹכְבֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם לָרֹֽב׃
Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.

For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
וַהֲקִֽמֹתִי אֶת-בְּרִיתִי בֵּינִי וּבֵינֶךָ וּבֵין זַרְעֲךָ אַֽחֲרֶיךָ לְדֹֽרֹתָם לִבְרִית עוֹלָם לִֽהְיוֹת לְךָ לֵֽאלֹהִים וּֽלְזַרְעֲךָ אַֽחֲרֶֽיךָ׃

Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
אַתָּה-הוּא יְהוָה הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר בָּחַרְתָּ בְּאַבְרָם וְהֽוֹצֵאתוֹ מֵאוּר כַּשְׂדִּים וְשַׂמְתָּ שְּׁמוֹ אַבְרָהָֽם׃
Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;
וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל פָּרוּ וַֽיִּשְׁרְצוּ וַיִּרְבּוּ וַיַּֽעַצְמוּ בִּמְאֹד מְאֹד וַתִּמָּלֵא הָאָרֶץ אֹתָֽם׃
And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
וְהָיָה לְאוֹת עַל-יָדְכָה וּלְטֽוֹטָפֹת בֵּין עֵינֶיךָ כִּי בְּחֹזֶק יָד הֽוֹצִיאָנוּ יְהוָה מִמִּצְרָֽיִם׃
And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.
עַתָּה יָדַעְתִּי כִּֽי-גָדוֹל יְהוָה מִכָּל-הָֽאֱלֹהִים כִּי בַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר זָדוּ עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
אֱלֹהִים בַּקֹּדֶשׁ דַּרְכֶּךָ מִי-אֵל גָּדוֹל כֵּֽאלֹהִֽים׃
Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
לֹא-זָכְרוּ אֶת-יָדוֹ יוֹם אֲֽשֶׁר-פָּדָם מִנִּי-צָֽר׃
They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
כִּימֵי צֵאתְךָ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם אַרְאֶנּוּ נִפְלָאֽוֹת׃
According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things.
