- When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
- Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
- The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back;
- the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
- Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,
|
- When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
- Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
- The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
- The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
- What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
