38. Egypt was joyful at their departure, for the fear of them lay heavy upon them.
39. He spread a cloud for their protection, and a fire, to give them light through the night.
40. They petitioned, and the quail came; and he satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41. He ruptured the rock and the waters flowed: rivers gushed in the dry land.
42. For he had called to mind his holy word, which he kept near to his servant Abraham.
43. And he led forth his people in exultation, and his elect in rejoicing.
44. And he gave them the regions of the Gentiles, and they possessed the labors of the peoples,
45. so that they might observe his justifications, and inquire about his law.
