3 aThen I took your father Abraham from the other side of1 the River, led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants and bgave him Isaac.  
4 To Isaac I gave aJacob and Esau. To bEsau I gave the mountains of Seir to possess, cbut Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.  
5 aAlso I sent Moses and Aaron, and bI plagued Egypt, according to what I did among them. Afterward I brought you out.
