Ne let he him manna mihte sceððan
and he þearle for him þrea geaf kyningum.
40
Ne sceolon ge mine þa halgan hrinan ne gretan
ne on mine witigan wergðe settan.
Cwom þa ofer eorðan ermðu and hungor,
wurdon wide menn wædlan hlafes.
He him snoterne beforan sende æryst
45
ful wisne wer to scealce,
and þa bebohtan bearn Iacobes

þæt he his ealdormen ealle lærde,
swa he his sylfes mod geseted hæfde,

and Aaron eac, þone he ær geceas.
70
He sette on hi sylfe soðne wisdom

oðþæt heo geforan folc Khananea.
75
He hi mid þystrum ongan þrean æt

forðon hio word heora wel ne oncneowan.
And heora wæter swylce wende to blode,
on ðam heora fisceas frecne forwurdan.
Sende on heora eorþan ealle swylce
80
toscean teonlice, þa teolum husum

85
Sette him regnas reþe swylce,

se lige forgeaf land Egypta.
Syððan forwurdan heora wingeardas
and ficbeamas; furþor ne mihton

He þa syþþan cwæð; sona

95
Syþþan he æfter sloh æghwylc

and frumcynnes heora frean swylce.
And his þæt gode folc golde and seolfre
geweorþade and hi wislice
100

ða
ænig untrum yldra ne gingra.
Wurdon him Egyptas æfter bliðe,
syððan hi on fore folc sceawedan,
forðon him þær egesa angryslic stod.
105
He hi wolcne bewreah, wraðum ahredde,
het him neode nihta gehwylce
fyrenne beam beforan wisian.
Flæsces hi bædon, fuglas coman,
of garsecge ganetas fleogan,
110
and hi heofonhlafe halige gefylde.
Het him of stane streamas flowan,
wæter on willan; na him gewættan fot,
þa hi on Iordane gengdan æfter.
Ac he wæs þæra worda wel gemyndig,
115
halig heofenes weard, þe he hleoðrade
to Abrahame, his agenum hysse.
And his folc lædde fægere on blisse
and his þone gecorenan heap clæne on wynne.
Sealde þam leodum landes anweald
120
on agene æht oðre þeode
and hi folca gewinn fremdra gesæton.
þær hi heoldan halige
domas
and his soðfæst word swylce georne,
and his æbebod awa to feore.
