7God, you led your people out of Egypt, and then you marched with them through the desert.
8After you did that, because when you, the God worshiped by us Israeli people, appeared to us at Sinai Mountain,, the earth shook, and rain poured down from the sky.
9You caused plenty of rain to fall on your land*, and so you enabled good crops to grow again on the land that you gave to us Israelis.
10Your people built homes there; and because you were good to them, you provided food for those who were poor.
11The Lord gave a message, and many women took that message to other places.
12They proclaimed, “Many kings and their armies are running away from our army!” When our army brought back to their homes the things that they captured, the women who were at home divided up those things among themselves and among their families.
