¹³ The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?”^(A)

¹³ Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid.^(A) Stand firm and you will see^(B) the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see^(C) again.

¹⁴ The Lord will fight^(A) for you; you need only to be still.”^(B)

²⁴ So the people grumbled^(A) against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?”^(B)

⁷ and in the morning you will see the glory^(A) of the Lord, because he has heard your grumbling^(B) against him. Who are we, that you should grumble against us?”^(C)

⁸ Moses also said, “You will know that it was the Lord when he gives you meat to eat in the evening and all the bread you want in the morning, because he has heard your grumbling^(A) against him. Who are we? You are not grumbling against us, but against the Lord.”^(B)

² So they quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water^(A) to drink.”^(B)

Moses replied, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you put the Lord to the test?”^(C)

³ (Now Moses was a very humble man,^(A) more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.)
