32Sette him regnas     ÂreĂľe swylce,

37And his þæt gĹŤde folc     Âgolde and seolfre

38Wurdon him Egyptas     Âæfter bliĂ°e,

forĂ°on him þær egesa     Âangryslic stod.
39He hi wolcne bewreah, Â Â Â Â ÂwraĂ°um ahredde,
het him neode     Ânihta gehwylce

40Flæsces hi bædon,     Âfuglas coman,

and hi heofonhlafe     Âhalige gefylde.
41Het him of stane     Âstreamas flowan,
wæter on willan;     Âna him gewættan fot,
Ăľa hi on Iordane     Âgengdan æfter.
42Ac he wæs þæra worda     Âwel gemyndig,
halig heofenes weard, Â Â Â Â ÂĂľe he hleoĂ°rade
to Abrahame, Â Â Â Â Âhis agenum hysse.
43And his folc lædde     Âfægere on blisse
and his Ăľone gecorenan heap     Âclæne on wynne.
44Sealde Ăľam leodum     Âlandes anweald

and hi folca gewinn     Âfremdra gesæton.
45Þær hi heoldan     Âhalige domas
and his soĂ°fæst word     Âswylce georne,
and his æbebod     Âawa to feore.
