13Moses Drawn out said to Adonai , “Then the Egyptians people from Abode of slavery will sh'ma ·hear obey· it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them.
14They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that you Adonai are in the middle of this people; for you Adonai are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
15Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the fame of you will speak, saying,
16‘Because Adonai was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.’
