11 But Moses besought the Lord his God, saying: Why, O Lord, is thy indignation kindled against thy people, [music text: “Let the anger of Thy soul be appeased:”] whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a mighty hand?
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou sworest [music text: “that Thou wouldst give the land flowing with milk and honey.”] by thy own self, saying: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven: and this whole land that I have spoken of, I will give to you seed, and you shall possess it for ever.
14 And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people.
Precatus est Moyses in conspectu Domini Dei sui, et dixit: Quare, Domine, irasceris in populo tuo: parce irae animae tuae: memento Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob, quibus jurasti dare terram fluentem lac et mel. Et placatus est Dominus de malignitate, quam dixit facere populo suo.
21 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.

29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
