3
the South, and the plain of the Valley of Jericho, b the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar.

11
in all n the signs and wonders which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt, before Pharaoh, before all his servants, and in all his land,
12
and by all that mighty power and all the great terror which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.
