that he might make his power known./ And he rebuked the red sea and it was dried up:/ and he led them through the depths as through a desert./ And he saved them from the hand of those that hated them:/ and he rescued them from the hand of the enemy./ And water covered those that afflicted them:/ there was not one of them left./ And they believed his words:/ and they sang his praises./ Soon they had done they forgot his works: and/ they did not uphold his counsel./ And they coveted lust in the desert:/ and tempted god in the place without water./ He gave them their request:/ and sent fullness into their souls./ And they provoked moyses in the camp:/ aaron the holy one of the lord./ The earth opened and swallowed dathan:/ and covered the congregation of abiron./ And a fire blazed up in their congregations:/ the flame burned the sinners./ And they made a calf in horeb:/

ut notam faceret potentiam suam. / Et increpauit mare rubru[m] et exiccatu[m] est: / et deduxit eos in abyssis sicut in deserto / Et saluavit eos de manu odientium: / et redemit eos de manu inimici. / Et op[er]uit aqua tribulantes eos: / unus ex eis non remansit. / Et crediderunt in verbis eius: / et laudaverunt laudem ei[us]. / Cito fecerunt obliti sunt op[er]um ei[us]: et / non sustinuerunt consilium ei[us]. / Et concupierunt concupiscentia[m] in deserto: / et temptaverunt d[omi]n[u]m in inaquoso. / Et dedit eis p[a]etitione[m] ipsorpum]: / et misit saturitate[m] in animas eor[um]. / Et irritaverunt moysen in castris: / aaron s[an]c[tu]m domini. / Ap[er]ta est terra et degutivit dathan: / et op[er]vit sup[er] congregatione[m] abiron. / Et exarsit ignis in synagoga eor[um]: / flam[m]a co[n]bussit peccatores. / Et fecerunt vitulu[m] in horeb: /
