His judgments carry throughout the earth.

as the portion of your inheritance.”

and placed his neck in irons,Gen 39:20

the ruler of peoples set him free.Gen 41:14
He made him master of his household,
ruler over all his substance,Act 7:10
to instruct105:22 LXX and Syriac; MT to bind his princes as he pleased
and teach his elders wisdom.
Then Israel entered Egypt;
Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.Gen 46:6
And the LORD made His people very fruitful,
more numerous than their foes,Exo 1:7; Act 7:17
whose hearts He turned to hate His people,
to conspire against His servants.Exo 1:14
He sent Moses His servant,
and Aaron, whom He had chosen.Exo 3:10
They performed His miraculous signs among them,
and wonders in the land of Ham.Exo 7:10
He sent darkness, and it became dark—
yet they defied His words.105:28 LXX and Syriac; Hebrew for had they not defied His words?Exo 10:22

and caused their fish to die.Exo 7:20; Psa 78:44

even in their royal chambers.Exo 8:6

with lightning throughout their land.Exo 9:23

and shattered the trees of their country.Exo 9:25; Psa 78:47

young locusts without number.Exo 10:13; Psa 78:46

and consumed the produce of their soil.

the firstfruits of all their vigor.Exo 12:29; Psa 78:51
He brought Israel out with silver and gold,
and none among His tribes stumbled.Exo 12:35
Egypt was glad when they departed,
for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.Exo 12:33
He spread a cloud as a covering
and a fire to light up the night.Exo 13:21; Psa 78:14
They asked, and He brought quail
and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.Exo 16:13
He opened a rock, and water gushed out;
it flowed like a river in the desert.Exo 17:6; Num 20:11; Psa 78:16; 1Co 10:4
For He remembered His holy promise
to Abraham His servant.Gen 22:16
He brought forth His people with rejoicing,
His chosen with shouts of joy.Jos 3:1
He gave them the lands of the nations,
that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,
that they might keep His statutes
and obey His laws.
