¹ Quando o Senhor teu Deus te houver introduzido na terra a que vais a fim de possuí-la, e tiver lançado fora de diante de ti muitas nações, a saber, os heteus, os girgaseus, os amorreus, os cananeus, os perizeus, os heveus e os jebuseus, sete nações mais numerosas e mais poderosas do que tu;

² e quando o Senhor teu Deus tas tiver entregue, e as ferires, totalmente as destruirás; não farás com elas pacto algum, nem terás piedade delas;

³ não contrairás com elas matrimônios; não darás tuas filhas a seus filhos, e não tomarás suas filhas para teus filhos;

⁴ pois fariam teus filhos desviarem-se de mim, para servirem a outros deuses; e a ira do Senhor se acenderia contra vós, e depressa vos consumiria.

⁵ Mas assim lhes fareis: Derrubareis os seus altares, quebrareis as suas colunas, cortareis os seus aserins, e queimareis a fogo as suas imagens esculpidas.

⁶ Porque tu és povo santo ao Senhor teu Deus; o Senhor teu Deus te escolheu, a fim de lhe seres o seu próprio povo, acima de todos os povos que há sobre a terra.

⁷ O Senhor não tomou prazer em vós nem vos escolheu porque fôsseis mais numerosos do que todos os outros povos, pois éreis menos em número do que qualquer povo;

⁸ mas, porque o Senhor vos amou, e porque quis guardar o juramento que fizera a vossos pais, foi que vos tirou com mão forte e vos resgatou da casa da servidão, da mão de Faraó, rei do Egito.

⁹ Saberás, pois, que o Senhor teu Deus é que é Deus, o Deus fiel, que guarda o pacto e a misericórdia, até mil gerações, aos que o amam e guardam os seus mandamentos;

¹⁰ e que retribui diretamente aos que o odeiam, para os destruir; não será remisso para quem o odeia, diretamente lhe retribuirá.

¹¹ Guardarás, pois, os mandamentos, os estatutos e os preceitos que eu hoje te ordeno, para os cumprires.

¹² Sucederá, pois, que, por ouvirdes estes preceitos, e os guardardes e cumprirdes, o Senhor teu Deus te guardará o pacto e a misericórdia que com juramento prometeu a teus pais;

¹³ ele te amará, te abençoará e te fará multiplicar; abençoará o fruto do teu ventre, e o fruto da tua terra, o teu grão, o teu mosto e o teu azeite, a criação das tuas vacas, e as crias dos teus rebanhos, na terra que com juramento prometeu a teus pais te daria.

¹⁴ Bendito serás mais do que todos os povos; não haverá estéril no meio de ti, seja homem, seja mulher, nem entre os teus animais.

¹⁵ E o Senhor desviará de ti toda enfermidade; não porá sobre ti nenhuma das más doenças dos egípcios, que bem conheces; no entanto as porás sobre todos os que te odiarem.

¹⁶ Consumirás todos os povos que o Senhor teu Deus te entregar; os teus olhos não terão piedade deles; e não servirás a seus deuses, pois isso te seria por laço.

¹⁷ Se disseres no teu coração: Estas nações são mais numerosas do que eu; como as poderei desapossar?

¹⁸ delas não terás medo; antes lembrarte-ás do que o Senhor teu Deus fez a Faraó e a todos os egípcios;

¹⁹ das grandes provas que os teus olhos viram, e dos sinais, e das maravilhas, e da mão forte, e do braço estendido, com que o Senhor teu Deus te tirou: Assim fará o Senhor teu Deus a todos os povos, diante dos quais tu temes.

²⁰ Além disso o Senhor teu Deus mandará entre eles vespões, até que pereçam os restantes que se tiverem escondido de ti.

²¹ Não te espantes diante deles, porque o Senhor teu Deus está no meio de ti, Deus grande e terrível.

²² E o Senhor teu Deus lançará fora de diante de ti, pouco a pouco, estas nações; não poderás destruí-las todas de pronto, para que as feras do campo não se multipliquem contra ti.

²³ E o Senhor tas entregará a ti, e lhes infligirá uma grande derrota, até que sejam destruídas.

²⁴ Também os seus reis te entregará nas tuas mãos, e farás desaparecer o nome deles de debaixo do céu; nenhum te poderá resistir, até que os tenhas destruído.

²⁵ As imagens esculpidas de seus deuses queimarás a fogo; não cobiçarás a prata nem o ouro que estão sobre elas, nem deles te apropriarás, para que não te enlaces neles; pois são abominação ao Senhor teu Deus.

²⁶ Não meterás, pois, uma abominação em tua casa, para que não sejas anátema, semelhante a ela; de todo a detestarás, e de todo a abominarás, pois é anátema.

¹ They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

² The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;

³ and the children of Israel said to them, "We wish that we had died by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."

⁴ Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

⁵ It shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily."

⁶ Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, "At evening, then you shall know that Yahweh has brought you out from the land of Egypt;

⁷ and in the morning, then you shall see the glory of Yahweh; because he hears your murmurings against Yahweh. Who are we, that you murmur against us?"

⁸ Moses said, "Now Yahweh shall give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh."

⁹ Moses said to Aaron, "Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, 'Come near before Yahweh, for he has heard your murmurings.'"

¹⁰ It happened, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Yahweh appeared in the cloud.

¹¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹² "I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, 'At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread: and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God.'"

¹³ It happened at evening that quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.

¹⁴ When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground.

¹⁵ When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, "What is it?" For they didn't know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat."

¹⁶ This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: "Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent."

¹⁷ The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.

¹⁸ When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating.

¹⁹ Moses said to them, "Let no one leave of it until the morning."

²⁰ Notwithstanding they didn't listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was angry with them.

²¹ They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.

²² It happened that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one, and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

²³ He said to them, "This is that which Yahweh has spoken, 'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. Bake that which you want to Bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.'"

²⁴ They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it didn't become foul, neither was there any worm in it.

²⁵ Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. today you shall not find it in the field.

²⁶ Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none."

²⁷ It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.

²⁸ Yahweh said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

²⁹ Behold, because Yahweh has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day."

³⁰ So the people rested on the seventh day.

³¹ The house of Israel called its name Manna, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.

³² Moses said, "This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded, 'Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.'"

³³ Moses said to Aaron, "Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and lay it up before Yahweh, to be kept throughout your generations."

³⁴ As Yahweh commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

³⁵ The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

³⁶ Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
