¹⁶ You set apart Jacob for yourself, but Esau you rejected; and Jacob became a great multitude. ¹⁷ And when you led his descendants out of Egypt, you brought them to Mount Sinai. ¹⁸ You bent down the heavens and shook^[a] the earth, and moved the world, and caused the depths to tremble, and troubled the times.
